Chapter 141 Undercurrent under the Sun
The pain will not change with the passage of time, but will deepen with the passage of time.
The nightmare-like punishment from heaven seemed to be vivid in their minds, and some people still talked about their luck after the meal.
A month later.
New York West Restaurant.
“The last time I was here was a year ago.”
"The busy life leaves me no time to enjoy"
Kalma Knowles picked up the red wine in front of her, then looked at Fury opposite and said.
General Director of the World Security Council, this is already the highest known position, and it took Kalma fifty years to reach this point. As an official who has left this country, he sometimes goes home to visit. .
"Business is the main theme of life"
“It’s better to be busy than to have nothing to do.”
The wine glasses clinked, and Fury calmly looked at the old man opposite. One of them looked middle-aged and the other old, but their actual ages were not much different.
As people born in the same era, the two have many topics in common.
But today they are not here to reminisce, but to discuss the existence of the Avengers.
"I can give you the law enforcement rights you want."
"You can even set up an independent establishment, but you can't enjoy the financial support of the council."
The Council is a supernatural supervisory assembly jointly established by various countries, and its subordinate departments are more than just S.H.I.E.L.D.
At the same time, with the outbreak of the Insight Project, traces of Hydra were also discovered, and the current S.H.I.E.L.D. existed in name only.
The Council is making arrangements to create a new agency to replace S.H.I.E.L.D.
Under such circumstances, there is no energy to support the development of the Avengers.
Even if they know that the Avengers are the most useful when facing a crisis, they will not place all their hopes on the Avengers. Eggs will never be put in one basket.
At the same time, too much power will arouse suspicion from others.
Among the current Council, there are many people who support tough handling of the Avengers. They believe that the Avengers should obey the Council's orders, just like weapons.
This kind of arrogance is as incurable as a stubborn disease. Years of holding high positions have caused these people to lose their humility.
Of course Fury also understands this. In the past, he might have wanted to reconcile and retreat, because the enemy was not his own people, but the pervasive darkness.
But things were different now. When he saw the future full of despair, all Fury thought about was to quell the internal fighting as soon as possible, and for this he was even willing to see bloodshed.
"Just law enforcement powers are enough, we just want to reduce some trouble."
But not afraid of trouble, that's what Fury plans to do.
He can allow some people to interfere with the Avengers, or even threaten the Avengers with force, but correspondingly, the other party will also have to bear the consequences of angering them.
The current Avengers don't have time to play house with them.
"The world needs your protection"
"Before this, I will try my best to help you eliminate some troubles."
"But you have to remember, I don't have much time."
Karma put down his knife and fork, his past ambitions had been wiped away, and now he could only protect the last flame of hope.
"Thank you for your help, old friend"
After taking a gulp of the red wine in front of him, Fury thanked him at the end.
Back in the base, Fury looked at the quiet hall. He didn't see Tony or anyone else. With some confusion, Fury found the sleepy Coulson.
No surprise, this man with a dangerous hairline stayed up late again.
"Listen, Coulson, you should take care of yourself."
"The work can be done at any time, and a person can fall at any time."
"I don't want to watch your funeral before attending your wedding."
Looking at the dark circles under Colson's eyes, Fury said helplessly.
At the same time, Fury was thinking that he might be able to apply for a heart-shaped plant for Coulson. As Wakanda's best partner, the Avengers have the right to use the heart-shaped plant.
Of course, this has a premise, that is, Wakanda needs to return to its original order.
For a month, the recovery work was still in preparation.
"I understand, Director"
"But we are severely understaffed at the moment."
"We need an infusion of new blood"
Coulson took the coffee from Fury and said with a hint of tiredness.
He didn't want to torture his body too much, but the current dilemma facing the Hidden Sharp Knife was the shortage of personnel.
The old employees Fury brought out from S.H.I.E.L.D. have been dispersed to various positions, but even so, there is still a large staff gap.
Maintaining a large organization requires not only funds, but also talents in all aspects.
An engine cannot run without a fuel tank alone; it also needs wheels.
"Don't worry, people will be there. We have a king here."
Asking Coulson to summon other members, Fury walked to the training ground. Now he has changed from a logistics manager to a combatant, and at least he must be worthy of the status of a god substitute.
Here Fury is working hard on his body, and in the bar on the other side, a beautiful lady is looking at two handsome guys not far away.
One of them perfectly fits the aesthetics of all women. A body full of male hormones and a handsome face, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes, add a bit of charm.
At the same time, the person next to the other party is not bad at all, but what is a bit lacking is that the other party has a bald head, which she does not like.
And I don’t know why, the other person doesn’t drink when he comes to the bar, but he always eats fruit plate and snacks.
"Jennifer, do you see the handsome guy opposite?"
"He is my prey tonight"
Licking her red lips, the lady is ready for action.
"Wait a minute! Aryan, that's the one who howls at midnight!"
Seeing a group of people surrounding Aryan's prey in front of the bar, Jennifer gloated.
"Your significant other is in trouble."
In front of the bar, Steve put down the bottle of wine with a hint of helplessness. He couldn't figure out why he was here.
Didn’t we talk about practicing cultivation before? How to practice cultivation in this bar.
Practice the ability to resist temptation?
"Master, I feel like trouble is coming."
Looking back, Steve saw the crowd gathered around him. Each of them had the same tattoo on their left arm.
"How can you walk in this world without trouble?"
"Go ahead and give them a decent apology."
Putting down the snack in his hand, Sanzang wiped his hands indifferently. He decided that he would never trust Tony Stark again.
San Zan saw that Steve was not in a good mood before, so he asked Tony what could improve his mood.
Tony, who has been hanging out at midnight venues all year round, also gave the answer: the bar.
But when the two came here, not only did they not feel happy, they couldn't even fill their stomachs.
San Zan misses the Xiao Long Bao in Chinatown.
"Boss, it's him!"
Since the fall of Kingpin and the disappearance of the Hand, the entire New York gang market has been in chaos. One day there is an overlord, tomorrow there is a leader, but he is quickly eliminated.
Midnight Howl is a rising star. The number of gang members soon exceeded 700, and there is even a trend of continuing to increase.
At the same time, rapid development has also resulted in uneven personnel quality. Not everyone can be a good gangster.
Before coming to the bar, this man had a conflict with Steve. The reason for the conflict was very simple. Steve just glanced at him.
The calm gaze interfered with the other person's restless heart, so the other person began to waver.
"Wait, why do I think he looks familiar?"
The gangster named Boss was a little hesitant. He seemed to have seen this face somewhere.
But Steve would not give the other person a chance to reminisce. He felt that meeting the other person was the greatest happiness today.
Because he can finally drink and go crazy.
A set of skilled military punches knocked down one person first, and then Steve picked up a bottle of wine and smashed it on the opponent's head. His movements began to lose their order and were filled with the chaos of the street.
However, Steve really needs to vent now.
People are always chasing chaos, and a sudden fight attracts everyone's attention. Amidst the applause and adulation, Steve completed his victory against a group of people.
Standing among the shards of glass, Steve finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, the ringing of the phone in his arms also brought Steve back to reality.
"I understand, let's go back now"
"Master, the break is over"
After hearing this, San Zang tried the beer in front of him, and after feeling the bitterness, he shook his head.
“Life is short”
Watching the two people leaving, Aryan, who had been stunned, remembered Steve's identity.
That was the figure that appeared on the image called the Day of Chaos a month ago.
"the Avengers?"
As she hurriedly chased him out of the bar, she only saw the taillights of the car speeding away.
Under a rapid waterfall, Barton was baptized by the river water. Next to him was a bow and an arrow, and beside him were the sounds of birds that he remembered from time to time.
After the insight incident was over, Sanzang saw that both Barton and Natasha had awakened Qi, so they each taught them the methods to use and the corresponding breathing methods.
As the name suggests, breathing method is to replace the original breathing and use Qi to exercise the body.
Qi is the vitality of all things, and all things have their own Qi. The function of the breathing method is to feel the rhythm of all things, and then strengthen one's own practice.
This was called penance in ancient times, and it was a kind of practice accumulated over the years.
The river flows slowly, bringing up thin mist. At the same time, as the sun tilts, the midday sun shines on Barton's face.
His eyes opened, and a flash of light appeared in his eyes. Then Barton immediately bent his bow and set an arrow. With a crisp sound, the ordinary wooden arrow penetrated more than a dozen big trees one after another.
“Still not enough”
After closing his eyes and concentrating again, Barton prepared to continue practicing.
At this time, he was at home. In addition to missing his family, Barton also wanted to relieve the fatigue of continuous fighting.
But people are always restless, and after just a few days of laziness, Barton picked up the longbow.
Not far away, Barton's lover Laura Barton was coming with news. She looked at the destroyed trees around her and shook her head helplessly.
The other party was obviously on vacation, but he only spent time with his family at night, and no one was seen during the day.
"Mr. Clint, our archery master, your white communicator is on."
Laura was also an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., so she naturally understood Barton's current work. After giving him the greatest understanding, Laura also shouldered the responsibilities of the family.
"Is it white? That's not too serious."
"I can have lunch with you"
Picking up the towel on the shore to dry his hair, Barton gently hugged Laura, then held her left hand and walked outside.
At the same time, Natasha also received a communication from Coulson, but she chose to solve the immediate trouble first.
In front of her were a standing violent bear and an owl soaring in the sky.
"Madam, you have been chasing us for three days, why bother!"
"The two of us have withdrawn from Fisker Group, and Kingpin is dead."
Tombstone scratched his belly irritably. Not long after he escaped from the cage, he unexpectedly encountered a troublesome person again.
Looking at the spear in the opponent's hand, the tombstone began to retreat, and there were many wounds on his belly.
"Go back with me and serve out the rest of your sentence."
"otherwise..."
Natasha tightened her grip on the spear, and then the pale spear light instantly hit the owl in the sky. With curses, the owl fell in front of the tombstone.
These two brothers in arms can never escape SHIELD's grasp.
"Maria Hill, she is our guarantor"
"She has said before that she will let us go if we help him destroy the envoy's blockade!"
Tombstone also wanted to violently crush the lady in front of him, but he discovered a problem, that is, he couldn't beat the other party, and even if he joined forces with the owl, there would be no benefit.
He couldn't fight again and again, and he couldn't run anymore. Tombstone's heart was filled with gray.
He really didn't want to go back to that cage without a cave.
"Yes, people from SHIELD must also be trustworthy."
The owl stood up, a pair of three-layered eyes filled with suffocated resentment. This is not bullying an honest person.
"Two options, one is to go back and serve your sentence. After the reduction, you still have eighty years left in your sentence."
"As for the second one"
After circling the two men, Natasha remembered Coulson's complaints. The other party always said that there was a shortage of manpower, especially combat personnel. The two in front of her were undoubtedly the best candidates.
Not only is his fighting ability far superior to ordinary people, but his brain is not very good either.
"We choose two x2"
The unanimous answer brought a smile from Natasha, and this time the mission ended perfectly.
At the same time, as each Avengers was called, the gathering place was also arranged in a new base.
Avengers mothership.
Facing the howling wind, Banner looked at Lu Xixian who was aside. These days, the two of them have been studying the fusion of Qi and all things, but they have not gained much.
"Lu, you must be very old, right?"
"I am over a hundred years old. If there are no accidents, I can still live for a long time."
"But judging from your appearance, you are only in your twenties."
"Appearance can be changed at any time, just like you now, green and shiny"
After being perfectly fused with Hulk, Banner can maintain Hulk's strength and body in normal life. This state is called Dr. Hulk by Banner.
This form not only has a powerful body but also unparalleled wisdom. It was originally planned that this state would take more than a dozen times to achieve, but now it only takes one battle.
“I quite like this color”
After looking at the palm of his hand, Banner picked up the suitcase behind him, and then walked towards the central control room under the guidance of others.
At the same time, the two were also the last Avengers to arrive.
As soon as he entered the conference room, Lu Xixian saw Tony, who was showing off the new Ark reactor.
Steve on the side was already tired. After seeing Lu Xixian return, he immediately stood up happily.
"You are finally here!"
At the same time, as the people arrived, the purpose of Fury's gathering was also shown on the three-dimensional image by Jarvis, which was the map of Wakanda.
