Chapter 330 The Ups and Downs of Life

S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, strategic command center.

"Attention everyone, put down all the work at hand! Enter the first level of combat readiness!"

The bald agent Sitwell walked in arrogantly. Now that Nick Fury is dead or alive, Alexander Pierce is in power. As a loyal lackey of Hydra, he naturally thinks that the time has come to make his debut.

"Contact the Department of Transportation, turn all traffic lights in nearby blocks to red, close all runways at Washington Airport, Dulles Airport, and Reagan International Airport! Transfer all surveillance video to the screen of the main control center! Review All communication equipment, telephones, computers, all electronic equipment, keywords are Steve Rogers, Captain America, once someone sends such a message, immediately submit the content to me..."

"With all due respect, if S.H.I.E.L.D. ordered a manhunt for Captain America, we would have reason to want to know why."

Agent NO.13 Sharon Carter interrupted, she is the niece of S.H.I.E.L.D. veteran Peggy Carter, who was appointed by Nick Fury to be Captain America's neighbor and responsible for protection and surveillance tasks.

Sitwell was speechless, and everyone present looked at him with suspicious or surprised eyes. This is Captain America, a war hero of the last century, and almost everyone is familiar with the glorious deeds of the opponent.

"Because he lied to us."

Alexander Pierce strode forward, and in terms of his prestige, he easily calmed down the scene, "Captain Rogers has clues about Chief Fury's disappearance, but he refuses to provide them."

"Maybe it's hard for people to accept that the fact that Captain America is now a fugitive wanted by S.H.I.E.L.D. is irrefutable."

Pierce looked around, took off his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes, with a sad expression on his face, as if he regretted the fall of a hero.

His superb acting skills moved everyone, and the S.H.I.E.L.D., which had no leader, restored its smooth order and normal operation under his leadership.

After the show was over, Pierce started a silent purge. He couldn't determine the life and death of Nick Fury and the whereabouts of the Winter Soldier. After thinking about it, it would be better to act first.

He led the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s quick-response special forces and broke into Maria Hill's office. As one of Nick Fury's confidantes, of course he had to get rid of this heroic female commander first.

"Maria Hill..." Pierce pushed open the door, followed by Sitwell and several burly black-clothed agents, "Sorry, you have to go with them—SHIELD is conducting an internal investigation. "

"You have no right to do that."

Hill's tone was full of anger, but she was making small movements with her hands, quietly pressing the destroy program of the console. This was the last thing she could do for S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury once revealed intentionally or unintentionally that there may be another dark force lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D. On the road, there is no one around who can be trusted.

So she had to make the worst plan and destroy some confidential documents that could not be made public.As a qualified commander, one must have the ability to accurately analyze the timing. Whether it is the assassination of Nick Fury or the wanted captain of the United States, it proves that a huge conspiracy is quietly shrouded.

"No, I have the authority to do this - it was granted to me by the World Security Council. You think you can hide the news of Fury's disappearance? Captain America is the one who cannot be trusted. S.H.I.E.L.D. needs me to preside over it now Big picture."

Pierce lowered his glasses. Not long ago, after notifying Nick Fury, the World Security Council unsurprisingly appointed him as the new leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"I want to know where did Agent Patton and Agent Romanov go?" Sitwell interrupted.

Among the Avengers, Iron Man Tony Stark has never been interested in this kind of internal dispute. Thor is still in Asgard, and Bruce Banner can't help. Natasha the Black Widow.

"You have to ask Director Fury about this." Hill shook his head, ignored the bald agent, went straight to Pierce, stretched out his hands and said, "I will cooperate with your investigation."

Pierce beckoned, and the burly black-clothed agent stepped forward and escorted Hill to the detention room. From this moment on, SHIELD started a large-scale cleaning operation, and a large number of people loyal to Nick Fury , S.H.I.E.L.D., or agents and support personnel who were not members of HYDRA, were apprehended and purged.

The Hydra, which had been dormant for more than a century, finally opened its bloody mouth impatiently, revealing its sharp fangs, and bit off pieces of flesh and blood towards the huge body of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Why not torture this woman, she will surely know something useful."

Sitwell remained in the office, puzzled by what his immediate boss was doing.

Although Hydra currently has the upper hand, as long as superheroes still exist, the bald agent feels that there is a sword of Damocles hanging above his head, and he doesn't know when it will fall.

"Are you afraid, Sitwell?"

Pierce didn't look back, he stood in front of the bright and huge floor-to-ceiling windows, like Nick Fury, with his hands folded on his chest, looking at the surging Potomac River.

"I just feel like the Avengers are always a threat."

Sitwell sneered. He was not a fanatic with firm beliefs like Pierce. The reason why he betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D. was because he could get more benefits and be able to climb to higher position.

Just as the other party thought, he was indeed a speculator, and he would take refuge in whichever camp was more powerful.

"They have nothing to fear..."

Pierce's tone was full of confidence. After a century of lurking and hiding, Hydra could finally walk out of the darkness and stand in the sun openly.

"The World Security Council agreed to my proposal and immediately launched the insight plan. The aircraft carrier will be lifted off soon, and a larger cleansing operation will come."

Pierce has a well-thought-out plan. He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. At the beginning, he did not hesitate to step down from the throne of the director and helped Nick Fury up.

Now relying on Dr. Zola's calculation formula and satellite reconnaissance covering the whole world, once the insight plan is officially implemented, the whole world will fall into the hands of Hydra.

Sitwell nodded again and again, and when Hydra completely devoured and digested all the power of S.H.I.E.L.D., then he would naturally get more benefits.

"This is our era."

With Pierce's calmness and composure, Rao couldn't help but feel emotional. Hydra has been hiding in the dark for so long that many people have forgotten the terrifying pressure that the Hydra badge once brought to the world.

Glancing at the shiny eagle emblem in the office, he smiled disdainfully.

Hydra will never die!

Cut off one head, and two will grow back!

When he was full of ambition, the flashing red dot swayed from the lens of Pierce's glasses, aimed at his chest, and finally stopped near the heart.

An alarm sounded in his brain, and his muscles tensed up. Subconsciously, he wanted to escape, hide in a blind spot or under an obstacle.

bang——

The 12.7mm metal bullet penetrated the 3cm thick bulletproof glass, directly tore Pierce's flesh and blood, and shot into the heart!

A huge splash of bright red exploded in front of Sitwell's eyes. The boss's chest seemed to be hiding a miniature bomb. The flesh and blood of the entire chest was shredded by the impact of the bullet, and then sprayed backwards. The bloody corpse trembled convulsively, lost control, and hit the floor heavily.

The bald agent's face was covered with blood, reflecting the dazed face, it looked extraordinarily horrifying.

On the opposite side of the building, a tall man wearing a black mask was holding a BFG-50A semi-automatic sniper rifle. Under the sunlight, the metal arm reflected a strong light.

According to the command set in his mind, he deliberately took off his mask and let the ubiquitous satellites and cameras take pictures of his face.
