The End of the World: Chaos

Chapter 187: The Explosion Shakes the Earth

There was a loud bang, two explosions shook the earth, and in the upper ground, two bright flames suddenly rose up, covering the entire area in heat.

The flames and shock waves swept down from top to bottom!

Everyone's faces changed drastically and they all ran to hide in the shelter.

However, it was too late. Everyone was pushed and thrown out by the shock wave and flames.

Fortunately, Steve's shield blocked the explosion, greatly reducing the power of the explosion, and no one was killed on the spot. Even though the rubble flew overhead and hit them, they were only slightly injured.

Everyone was indignant at this situation, including Rumlow.

If it weren't for the shield, Rumlow would have been injured.

This situation is self-evident.

Winter Soldier's actions have aroused public outrage.

Steve and Rumlow decided immediately to give chase!

Most of the people were left behind to treat the wounded, and a few elite soldiers were selected to search upwards layer by layer.

The Winter Soldier blew up the lower level and the road has been blocked.

Unless he breaks out through the window, he can only go upwards. Breaking the window cannot be stopped for the time being, so they have no choice but to keep searching upwards.

Sure enough, they found it.

On the top floor, traces of the Winter Soldier were found.

However, the Winter Soldier at this moment was different from what they had imagined, as he was covered in a strange object.

Iron armor!

Where did he get it?

Not to mention Steve, even Rumlow couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He did not provide any assistance to the Winter Soldier, and neither did anyone else. Where did this armor come from?

Besides, he was not wearing this when he came.

Steve and Rumlow could not have imagined that this iron armor was stolen from the New York Police Department and was not discovered because he had already placed it here when he infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.

Therefore, they were unable to detect any clues.

Now, they don’t know how to respond.

The Iron Man can fly, but they can't.

Even Rumlow!

"Goodbye, everyone!" Winter Soldier glanced at Steve and said to everyone.

Then it started the thrusters and flew away.

Everyone was unable to stop it. The bullets hit the armor, only creating a few sparks, but were completely ineffective.

All the fighter planes in the air were infected with the virus and were running around like headless flies. They could not be stopped and could only let the Winter Soldier leave.

"He..." Looking at the figure of the Winter Soldier walking away, Steve put down the shield in his hand and said hesitantly.

"I saw him and he ran away, but he couldn't run far or for long. No matter what, SHIELD will always find him and bring him to justice. No one can challenge SHIELD and get away with it!" Rumlow said gritting his teeth.

Rumlow's gritting of teeth was not artificial.

"That's not what I meant. I meant that he seemed to--"

Steve paused and only said half of his words.

Seeing this, Rumlow immediately realized that he might have guessed something, and asked without hesitation: "How does it seem?"

His eagerness was evident in his words.

"Maybe it's an illusion!" Steve shook his head.

However, even he himself could not believe this.

In my mind, a special figure lingers and has not disappeared for a long time.

Seeing that Steve no longer mentioned it, Rumlow couldn't know the details even if he knew them. He could only leave it at that for now and try to find out more indirectly later.

He then turned to the side and looked at the smoke-filled SHIELD headquarters to assess the current situation.

About half a minute later, Rumlow came to a conclusion.

This incident is of no small importance.

The death toll has exceeded 100, and with the explosion and virus, the losses are not small. Even if SHIELD clears out all the invaders except the Winter Soldier, it is still at a disadvantage.

It is foreseeable how angry Lu Dan will be and how severe S.H.I.E.L.D.'s revenge will be.

It is also foreseeable what kind of difficulties braised eggs will face next.

SHIELD suffered a defeat this time, and the always dissatisfied Global Security Council will never let go of this opportunity, and perhaps something unexpected will happen.

With such heavy losses, SHIELD failed to completely wipe out the invaders. No matter how Lu Dan explains it, it is still an advantage that can be exploited.

In this case, I'm afraid that Lu Dan will have no time to take care of other things, right?

Rumlow thought so in his heart.

In fact, it is true.

In Lu Dan's office, his face turned even darker.

There is no way. In just a few moments, the Global Security Council has made four calls.

Without exception, it was all blame.

He was accused of being incompetent and that SHIELD had wasted a lot of resources in his hands, which led to the attack and heavy losses. He should bear the main responsibility and many accusations were heard.

The core intention is to make him quit S.H.I.E.L.D.

......

......

Lu Dan’s attitude was extremely firm.

Pierce's death eliminated the buffer between Ludan and the Global Security Council.

Recently, the conflict between Ludan and the Global Security Council has intensified, which was not apparent in the past because there was no reason.

Now, everything is exposed.

Long-term repression will not reduce the pain, but will make it more intense.

Once long-term repression breaks out, the force will be even greater.

So much so that at this moment, they actually want to squeeze out Lu Dan and look for someone with better control. They have been looking for someone in SHIELD for a long time. As long as they drive Lu Dan away, someone will take his place.

It is certainly not so easy to get rid of the braised egg, as its position is deeply rooted.

Today, the situation is very tense and noisy!

Lu Yu did not mention going out. He stayed at home and started analyzing the Cosmic Cube. In his spare time, he listened to the news about Lu Dan to relieve his boredom.

Lu Dan has had a difficult time these past two days. The World Security Council has confronted him head-on, which is really his own fault. Perhaps the provocation of the Winter Soldier was too strong. Facing the World Security Council, he changed his usual behavior and showed unprecedented toughness.

They never admitted their mistakes, nor did they give up some of their interests to settle the dispute, and the result was somewhat tragic. The World Security Council took action, cutting off the water supply... ahem, cutting off the funding supply, depriving countries of their law enforcement rights, suspending all related activities, and sending an inspection team to investigate the flow of funds for Lu Dan in the past two years.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is now in a state of disarray. All operations have come to a halt, and the power to enforce the law has been lost. If they try to enforce the law, once they run into a wall, the consequences will be disastrous, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is helpless. The seemingly powerful S.H.I.E.L.D. still has a gap in front of the world and the five major powers.

SHIELD can only reduce its actions as much as possible in the near future, and all missions are suspended. In fact, this is not a big deal. SHIELD is usually busy, and it is a good thing to take a break at this time. Especially after being attacked, they are also flesh and blood and need to rest.

The key lies in the censorship and the cut-off of funds, which is undoubtedly a fatal move. Although SHIELD has an industry, it cannot support the operation of global bases and the salaries and other expenses of the staff. Seeing that this month's bonus is about to be lost and the salary payment may be delayed, everyone is worried.

They also need to eat. Why do they become agents? Is it really for national security and protecting civilians? They admit that there are such people, but they are few in number. Not everyone is a saint! Even saints need to eat. Saints who are determined to protect the people do not want such a salary. Survival needs are equally important.

Recently, Lu Dan's supporters have been complaining about him, like a blunt knife cutting meat, and Lu Dan is also having a hard time. Lu Yu is not one of them, watching with interest, thinking about whether to cause him more trouble, or just eliminate him once and for all. Without him, SHIELD will be easier to control.

After Lu Yu thought about it, he called everyone together to discuss the matter. "Do you think we should just expel him?" Lu Yu asked after expressing his thoughts.

Everyone was not in a hurry to speak, but first considered the feasibility. After a long while, Daisy spoke up: "Lu Dan has been running SHIELD for decades and has a deep foundation. This incident is quite suspicious. He is too stubborn and tough. I always feel that there is something fishy going on. It is best not to act rashly."

Daisy chose to refuse because Lu Dan's behavior was indeed abnormal. Maybe he was stimulated. After all, the person who killed his friend reappeared, and he failed to help him. Instead, he was teased and the other party escaped. This situation was enough to frustrate him. But it is also possible that he was not frustrated, but was secretly planning. After all, this person is cunning and it is reasonable for him to take advantage of the opportunity.

The current situation of the boiled egg is hard to guess, and Daisy's refusal has its own reasons...

......

Lu Yu waited for the second person's opinion. "I think what Daisy said makes sense. We should focus on stability at the moment. We don't lack the position of Director of SHIELD. Moreover, according to the current situation, even if Lu Dan abdicates, the position of Director may not be under our control. Changing people may bring more troubles. Now we have adapted to Lu Dan's style of doing things." Lorna refuted without saying a word.

Lu Yu didn't think much and waited for the third person. At this time, Rumlow said, "I think it's okay to take action. No matter who is the director, he will not be as nosy as Lu Dan. Not everyone has his insight and can find us."

"We can't generalize. Maria Hill, who has the highest popularity, is also capable and acts relatively..." Sitwell stopped talking halfway, leaving everyone puzzled.

After a moment, Sitwell's voice sounded again, revealing fear and disbelief in his words: "Lu Dan has just been attacked and is unconscious. He is being rescued!"

Sitwell's words shocked everyone, and the same thought came to their minds: Did Lu Yu take action?

"Don't accuse me, I didn't do it!" Lu Yu denied in a bad tone.

If it wasn't Lu Yu? Everyone was even more confused. Could it be someone else who did it?

"Does anyone know?" Sitwell asked cautiously.

There was silence in the communication space, and it was obvious that no one knew the details. Lu Yu checked everyone's recent itinerary and actions, and found nothing. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with them... ...
