Chapter 89 The Sweet-Talking Captain and the Hydra Captain! (5K words)
It took a lot of persuasion from Coulson to finally convince Du Mu to stay.

After all, he didn't summon Du Mu here to kill Nick Fury.

Coulson continued, "Apart from Clint Barton and Thor, the rest of the team has been assembled and they are now in command center."

The two entered the spacious command center of the Sky Carrier and soon saw several familiar faces.

At that moment, scientists Tony and Bruce were having a lively chat, spouting all sorts of incomprehensible scientific jargon. People with less than a doctoral degree were simply not qualified to join their chat group.

"I knew you'd come."

Tony was not surprised to see Du Mu arrive.

"Then why did you come?"

Du Mu was very curious as to how Coulson had managed to gather Tony, given his personality.

Tony shrugged: "Coulson told me we were going to fight Nick Fury, so I immediately canceled my date with Pepper, put on my new armor, and rushed over."

After all, you can reschedule a date with Pepper Potts, but the chance to beat up Nick Fury doesn't come every day!

"No wonder."

Du Mu expressed his understanding, finding the reason difficult to refuse.

Then he greeted Bruce next to him: "Hey Bruce, how was your trip to Iceland?"

Bruce: "."

It's better if we don't mention it, because it makes him uncomfortable.

He already knew who was behind his impulsive decision to flee to Iceland.

Since that incident in Iceland, he and Betty have developed a psychological aversion to the place. What they had been looking forward to—the romantic aurora borealis—turned into a life-or-death struggle on a deserted island.

Betty was alright; at least she had some clothes on.

After Bruce transforms back into his human form from the Hulk, he's only wearing underwear, and the underwear is too big and lets in the wind.

By the time the S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation team found Bruce, he had already frozen into a T-shape, turning into two icicles.

Du Mu greeted the two of them and also noticed Natasha, who was alone in the corner.

Because Hawkeye, with whom she had a close relationship, had betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D., she was in a very bad mood, comparable to a woman's period. Du Mu wisely refrained from going up to greet her.

"Where's Captain America? Didn't he also board the Sky Helicopter?"

Du Mu scanned the area but couldn't find Steve, who was also part of the Avengers program.

Tony shrugged and said, "That old popsicle came up and said a few words, then said he needed to go to the restroom. It's probably been about twenty minutes now."

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "Have we fallen into a pit?"

"Who knows? They're elderly, it's normal for them to take a little longer to go to the toilet."

Tony was as sarcastic as ever.

He and Steve didn't get along well from the moment they met.

The two have completely opposite personalities and their ideas are diametrically opposed, as if they were born to be incompatible.

Just as the group was chatting, Maria Hill walked over. She was a Level 9 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and also the Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

With Nick Fury temporarily absent as director, Hill has naturally taken over, becoming the most powerful person in S.H.I.E.L.D. and the supreme commander of the Sky Helicopter. All agents must obey her orders.

Hill said with a serious expression, "Currently, we are monitoring almost every network-connected camera, mobile phone, and computer on Earth. As long as it is connected to the network, it is our monitoring target. Once Loki and his group show up, we can capture their traces as quickly as possible."

With the World Council backing them up, global surveillance is just basic stuff for S.H.I.E.L.D.

Bruce asked in bewilderment, "If that's the case, why haven't we found them yet?"

Hill paused for a moment and explained, "Director Fury has built a number of very well-hidden safe houses without our knowledge, and they haven't even been registered with S.H.I.E.L.D. If they're intentionally hiding, it will be very difficult for us to find them."

"Is Nick Fury really that rich? He's built so many safe houses," Bruce muttered.

Hill did not respond.

This involves top secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as Nick Fury's personal conduct, so she couldn't answer the question.

"So, now we're dealing with a circus alliance consisting of Bambi, a one-eyed pirate captain, and Robin Hood?" Tony concluded.

"Well, you could understand it that way."

Hill barely caught up with Tony's analogy, then solemnly said, "That's precisely why I need your help even more. Director Fury activated the Avengers program at the last minute because he believed you were capable of dealing with the threat posed by Loki."

Upon hearing this, Du Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we will never let Nick Fury down! We will definitely crush the evil Nick Fury and his ilk under our feet!"

Hill: "."

Nick Fury hasn't even died yet, so how did he become his last will and testament?

And Loki was clearly the real mastermind, so how did he end up as someone behind Nick Fury?
Bruce volunteered: "Bring all your spectrometers here and calibrate them all to the gamma-ray band. I can write a tracking algorithm to locate the energy of the Cosmic Cube, so that we can at least filter out some targets and narrow down the search range."

Hill nodded immediately: "No problem, I'll arrange for someone to prepare a laboratory for you right away."

Just then, the door to the command center slid open, and a muscular American with a prominent backside walked in, holding a Star Shield. It was Steve, whom Du Mu hadn't seen in a long time.

At this moment, Steve was wearing a new uniform specially made for him by S.H.I.E.L.D. It was unclear whether the designer of this uniform was a fan or a hater, but this uniform was tighter than the ones he had worn before, and the effect of lifting his buttocks was top-notch.

Coulson, who was standing to the side, suddenly had a bright idea.

He's a die-hard Steve Rogers fan, having loved Captain America since childhood, buying all sorts of merchandise and support items. Seeing him in person now, he almost couldn't resist taking a picture with his phone.

Du Mu chuckled and said, "Finally finished using the toilet?"

Steve said somewhat awkwardly, "This uniform is too tight; it's a bit of a hassle to take it off."

That's normal. Even goddesses are human and can unleash their ultimate abilities, and superheroes are no exception. Besides, wearing such a tight-fitting suit is definitely inconvenient. Judging from Steve's uniform design, once it's taken off, you'd probably have to take everything off, which is indeed very troublesome.

But while I can understand it, just imagining Steve having to take off all his clothes to go to the toilet makes it feel strangely funny.

Steve noticed the strange looks from everyone and quickly changed the subject: "So, what's the situation now? I think I just heard you guys mention Nick Fury."

Du Mu nodded: "Yes, we are trying to find a way to thwart Nick Fury's plot."

Steve: "?"

I was only gone for a short while, how did the final boss suddenly become Nick Fury?
Just then, Agent Sitwell, who had been in charge of signal tracking at the command center, suddenly made a report.

"Sir, we've found a lead! It matches Clint Barton's information by 47 percent, and the location is the Schäfer Security Service building in Stuttgart, Germany."

"An investigation revealed that Dr. Heinrich Seifer was attacked not long ago. He owned a vault in the Schafer Security Services building, which contained a large quantity of iridium."

Bruce looked puzzled: "What do they want to do with the iridium they stole?"

Upon hearing this, Bruce immediately received several pairs of clear, foolish eyes.

Bruce: "."

Well, if even someone with seven doctoral degrees doesn't know, then others certainly don't know either.

“Iridium can be used as a stabilizer to prevent the portal from collapsing on its own, allowing the operator to control the portal as much as they want and for as long as they want.”

Fortunately, Tony, the academic genius, was on the court, rescuing Bruce from the group of academic underachievers.

"In that case, let's set off immediately and bring Clint back."

Upon hearing news of Clint, Natasha immediately rallied, preparing various paralysis devices. Even if it meant breaking Clint's legs, she was determined to bring him back.

Hill nodded: "Then this mission will be handed over to Captain America and Agent Romanoff to go to the Saffir Security Service building to capture Clint Barton."

As Nick Fury's adjutant, Hill's professionalism was impeccable, and he made decisive arrangements immediately.

Given that Loki and Nick Fury are still hiding somewhere, Hill did not send Doom to participate in the operation. Bruce needed to focus on tracking the Tesseract, and Tony was also unable to command. Therefore, it seemed most reasonable for Steve and Natasha to carry out the mission.

After all, Clint is just a bow user, not a superhuman. It seems like a sure win for him in a two-on-one situation.

Clint: "."

Natasha obeyed the order and was about to set off.

However, Steve stood still, seemingly oblivious to Hill's instructions.

Tony joked from the side, "What's wrong, old popsicle, are you hard of hearing?"

Suddenly, Steve's face darkened, and he shouted coldly, "Fuck you! You Stark brat! Shut your dog mouth!"

Tony: "???"

Du Mu: "???"

The others in the command center: "??? Holy crap! Captain America actually swore!"
Everyone was shocked.

Coulson, in particular, looked as if he had witnessed his cello-playing girlfriend run off with someone else, his expression filled with the disillusionment of an idol's collapse.

You should know that the person in front of you was once a national moral exemplar, a perfect symbol printed in textbooks and historical posters.

Now, this moral exemplar has sworn profanity in front of everyone, a shock no less than seeing the Statue of Liberty give the middle finger.

Du Mu immediately sensed something was wrong and checked Steve's profile.

[NPC: Steve Rogers]

[Status: Under mind control]

Buhou! We have a traitor among us!
Du Mu was surprised to find that Steve had been mind-controlled; it seemed that he had been controlled before even boarding the Sky Carrier.

He didn't need to guess to know that it was definitely related to Loki.

First Nick Fury betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D., then came Captain America, whose words were as sweet as honey!
As expected of the God of Tricks, when it comes to creating mischief, you really know how to do it!
Du Mu immediately contacted the game system: "System, remember to save the footage from just now!"

[Video recording has been saved]

"Captain? Are you alright?"

Natasha, who was standing nearby, immediately noticed something was wrong and activated the electric shock devices on her hands.

Steve sneered, "I'm perfectly fine! You bunch of idiots! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have put up with this for so long!"

No, you're not good at all!

Even the slowest person could see that there was definitely something wrong with Steve at this moment.

In a sense, a Captain America who swears constantly is far more terrifying than Nick Fury betraying S.H.I.E.L.D.

Hill immediately ordered: "Arrest Captain America! Take him into custody immediately!"

"You bunch of useless trash think you can arrest me!"

Steve had a wicked smile on his face.

Well, that's just his own perception of evil; others just laughed it off.

There's no way around it, Steve's face is just too righteous and awe-inspiring; even if it were placed next to Nick Fury's face, it would still exude a strong sense of justice.

Boom! !
As Steve finished speaking, a deafening explosion came from deep within the Sky Helicarrier!

The entire command center shook violently, and a blinding red light and a piercing alarm sounded at the same time!
In fact, Steve didn't go to the bathroom at all. Instead, he used that time to install timed explosives in key parts of the mothership.

The process went very smoothly; his face was the best proof of his identity. No one would have imagined that Captain America would be doing the work of a terrorist.

In the chaos caused by the explosion, Steve suddenly exerted his strength, his shield sweeping out and slamming Bruce to the ground beside him. He then rushed out of the command center without looking back.

Bruce, knocked down by the shield, collapsed to the ground, a look of pain on his face.

Steve's blow just now really hit him hard. Bruce's body is about the same as an ordinary person's, and his face turned green immediately after being hit.

"Calm down, Banner!"

Natasha rushed forward to try and comfort her.

If the enemy were to transform into the Hulk here, the entire Sky Helicopter would be doomed.

Her reassurance had some effect, but not much, since she hadn't actually uttered that special incantation.

Tony quickly chimed in, "That's right, Bruce, you can't transform here!"

Du Mu raised an eyebrow. At least Natasha had a strong chest to calm her emotions. What are you doing here with your mustache?
Sure enough, as soon as Tony said that, Bruce couldn't hold back any longer; he could no longer control the Hulk.

"No! It's coming out!"

"Bruce, bear with it, I'll be quick."

Seeing Bruce's entire body turn green, Du Mu immediately pulled out a pistol with a ghostly green sheen and aimed it at him instantly.

"Wait! I think I can hold out a little longer!"

Upon seeing Du Mu raise his gun, Bruce instinctively shuddered, and even the green on his body seemed to fade slightly.

The last time Du Mu shot him, he ran all the way to Iceland. The psychological trauma was so great that even the Hulk inside him began to resist.

"No, you can't stand it."

Du Mu decisively pulled the trigger.

After the bullet struck Bruce, a soft green light instantly emanated from his body.

However, Bruce found that he didn't want to utter any dying words, nor did he feel any pain. Instead, he felt as if he had suddenly returned to calm, and his injuries were gradually healing.

At the same time, his emotions stabilized, the green color around him quickly faded, and he finally returned to normal.

[Equipment: Hormone Gun (fires multiple tracking healing bullets to slowly heal the target while temporarily suppressing various abnormal statuses)]

"Drink this too."

Du Mu casually tossed Bruce a bottle of life potion.

The therapeutic effect of hormone guns is limited; they can only temporarily suppress abnormal conditions, acting like an anesthetic, but they cannot repair broken bones in the body.

Seeing that Du Mu forcibly interrupted his invincible transformation frame, Bruce was stunned for a moment, but still drank the life potion as instructed.

Everyone in the command center breathed a sigh of relief after Bruce stopped transforming.

At that moment, a technician exclaimed from the control panel: "The third engine on the right wing has exploded! It's severely damaged internally, and we're continuing to lose altitude!"

Hill immediately pressed, "Can an emergency repair be done?"

"The turbine unit is basically intact, but as long as we are still flying, it is impossible to send people out for maintenance!"

"I'll handle it."

Without a word, Tony immediately summoned his new suit of armor, and a red and gold steel suit of armor flew in front of him.

After being ambushed several times before he could put on his suit, Tony devoted himself to researching the automatic donning technology of his suit. Now his suit no longer needs the assistance of a mechanical arm; it can transform automatically with just a single command.

In addition, Tony is also researching a helmet that can become transparent, so he won't have to worry about being ambushed by some old coins when he shows his face.

"Agent Romanov, you're in charge of keeping an eye on Bruce Banner."

Hill quickly assigned tasks, then turned to Du Mu with a serious expression: "Agent Du Mu, Captain America is in your hands. You must arrest him and stop him from continuing his sabotage."

[Trigger main storyline! Unlock new quests!]

Mission: Loki's Secret Invasion

Objective: Immediately capture Captain America Steve Rogers and stop him from sabotaging the Sky Helicopter.

[Mission: Experience +1500, S.H.I.E.L.D. Reputation +30, Random Item *2]

[Completing this will unlock the next main story quest!]

"no problem!"

Du Mu glanced at the mark on the map and immediately gave chase.

During the process, we encountered quite a few S.H.I.E.L.D. agents lying on the ground, which seemed to be the work of Steve.

Judging from the injuries, Steve did not kill him. Perhaps the other party still retained a sliver of rationality, or perhaps instinct held him back.

Du Mu hadn't run far when he spotted Steve at an intersection, accompanied by several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Du Mu glanced at these S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and realized that without exception, they were all under mind control.

Clearly, this was all Loki's doing.

What's absurd is that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, all of these S.H.I.E.L.D. agents turned out to be Hydra spies.

At first glance, Steve looked exactly like the leader of this group of Hydras.

Captain Honeyed Lips + Hydra Captain!
The buffs are all stacked!

Du Mu advised, "Steve, I believe there is still a shred of justice within you. Do not let evil control you."

However, the Hydra captain merely glanced at him coldly and ordered without hesitation, "Fire! Kill this idiot!"

Du Mu: "."

Okay, okay, let’s play like this!
