The End of the World: Chaos

Of course, these people are in the minority, and many people still have doubts.

However, most of these people are located in Afghanistan, out of reach and unable to have an impact on Rumlow's takeover of power.

When they come back from Afghanistan, things will be different.

Within S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra has quietly completed the transfer of power, but given the early planning and layout, the matter was eventually covered up.

Ludan didn't notice anything unusual and was still immersed in grief and anger.

The news of Pierce's death finally reached Ludan's ears.

After all, Pierce had been a minister, and the news of his death could not be concealed, so it naturally reached his ears, making him sad and angry.

Lu Dan has always felt that he has a very good relationship with Pierce and regards him as a true friend.

Now that Pierce has passed away, even his iron heart can't help but ripple.

"Do you know who the murderer is?" Lu Dan asked Sitwell.

In order to stabilize Lu Dan's emotions, to conceal his purpose of finding out whether Lu Dan knew the news about Hydra, and also to try his best to appease the emotions of Hydra in Afghanistan, after completing the transfer of power, Sitwell put down many of his affairs and went to Afghanistan in person to report in person on everything that had happened.

"It was a man with a mechanical arm, messy hair, and a rather sloppy look. Although the surveillance camera failed to capture the frontal image because he was blocking his face, we found a shadow that matched him very well in the database based on some of his features!"

In order to clear himself of suspicion, Hitwell had no intention of covering up the truth. Instead, he reported the situation to Ludan truthfully, which Ludan could have easily known.

"Tell me more about it!"

"It's a shadow in the photo of the assassination of President Kennedy. We found that they are very similar. Based on this, we speculate that this guy is likely to be involved in many major events!"

After hearing what Sitwell said, Ludan couldn't help but remain silent for a while.

As a patient in the advanced stage of conspiracy theorist, countless conspiracies emerged in his mind, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Pass it on. From today on, we will enter a full-scale manhunt. I want to make sure he has nowhere to hide and will appear in all surveillance and electronic equipment!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Just as he agreed, Ludan added another sentence.

"I want to live!"

Want someone alive?

Sitwell was not too surprised by this, as it was within his expectations.

He had already considered many aspects based on Lu Dan's personality, including capturing the Winter Soldier alive and using this to extract more information from him.

He also thought of a countermeasure and planned to turn the matter into a situation that was beneficial to him.

After receiving the order from Lu Dan, Sitwell did not leave immediately, but secretly visited a representative nominated by the Afghan Hydra.

Inside a cave.

"What the hell are you doing?" The representative asked Sitwell, who had lost the "struggle", as soon as he came up.

"We didn't do anything!" Sitwell naturally would not tell the truth to such a question, and responded calmly.

After a short pause to give him some buffer time, Sitwell continued, "If I really kill him, it will not do me any good. Besides, between me and Rumlow, my support rate is obviously lower than Rumlow's."

The representative who was sent couldn't help but nodded.

To be honest, he didn't think Sitwell would have the personality to do such a thing, not to mention that he didn't have the strength and had few men under him. It was more likely that Rumlow, a loyal man, would do such a thing.

He raised the question from the perspective of interests.

"As long as he is alive, it will be more in my interest. Otherwise, once Rumlow takes over, I will be in a difficult situation!"

"In that case, why didn't you stop Rumlow from taking the stage?"

"On the one hand, I want to leave a good impression, and on the other hand, it's really necessary. We are facing huge troubles now. If the Winter Soldier leaks our information, we will be in extreme danger. Only Rumlow can lead us to a bloody way out!"

Sitwell carefully crafted a positive image.

Of course, the representative did not completely trust him, but Sitwell was trying to get a head start and lay the groundwork for the future.

"You know what? Nick Fury just gave me an order to capture the Winter Soldier alive. Do you know what this means?"

Of course, he knew that although Hydra had not yet been exposed, it was already at risk of being exposed. Once the boiled egg caught the Winter Soldier, the consequences would be disastrous.

"You don't believe me? How about I give you a chance to prove my innocence?"

"what chance?"

"No matter what you think, the most important thing right now is to kill the Winter Soldier before Nick Fury takes action and ensure that our information is not leaked!"

The representative couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

But how does this relate to your chances of proving yourself?

"So I'm offering you the chance to hunt him down!"

"Do you want us to die?" the representative said with a frown.

Sitwell shook his head and said, "Although the Winter Soldier is very strong, he has not completely gotten rid of the influence of brainwashing. You have more people and we are backing you up. Would it be suicide to fight him? How many people can he kill? You are the fully armed Hydra, you are not a pushover!"

Sitwell and Lu Yu worked together to camouflage the scene, ensuring that the Winter Soldier was not completely innocent to either Hydra or S.H.I.E.L.D., and that his strength was still the same as before.

"Of course, if we are trustworthy, we can also capture the Winter Soldier and hand him over to you so that you can confirm it yourself!" Sitwell said without showing any weakness.

In reality, it makes no difference which path these people choose.

Sitwell's remarks today were just to reassure these people. The Winter Soldier could not be caught, not in this lifetime, and they really couldn't catch him.

If they chose the latter, Sitwell and Rumlow would delay time and kill all these people as reasonably as possible, leaving no one alive.

In addition, Sitwell and Rumlow would let them arrest people on their own.

In fact, they have already planned everything and will use the Winter Soldier to get rid of these people.

"We need to discuss this!" Sitwell's seemingly sincere attitude made this guy slightly accept the proposal.

"You guys can discuss it, but you have to act quickly. Not only are we watching him, but SHIELD is also watching him. If necessary, we will kill him directly!"

"We'll be quick!"

"When I came here, Rumlow asked me to bring you a message."

"What?"

"HYDRA needs you!"

This sentence did not move this guy at all - if a simple sentence could move them, they would not have become Pierce's loyal fans, and there would be no need for Sitwell and Rumlow to eradicate them.

"I also need you guys by the way. I can still mobilize some benefits. Rumlow can't do without me!"

Sitwell's words imply that he is unwilling to accept the fact that his cooperation with Rumlow is not as harmonious as it seems.

After saying this, Sitwell said no more, and clearly showed an attitude that he planned to lay out the plan slowly.

……

While Sitwell was performing, Lu Yu received a call from Rumlow in his apartment.

"So, you want the Winter Soldier to try to assassinate you, in order to reduce everyone's suspicion of you and prepare to eliminate these people?"

"That's right! These people are too troublesome, just kill them cleanly!"

"Then how do you ensure that you can 'survive' the Winter Soldier? You can't beat him, right?"

"Let the Winter Soldier maintain his previous state, and at the same time set a trap for me. Use the hidden means he left behind during the brainwashing to get rid of the pursuit. The Winter Soldier escaped by luck!"

"You discuss this with the Winter Soldier yourself. As long as you don't make things worse, you can do whatever you want!"

"Boss, don't worry. I will have him kill a few people close to me before the assassination. This way it won't cause too much of a stir and everyone will think it's just the Winter Soldier's revenge. It will not only clear my suspicion but also cooperate with Sitwell's actions. As for Nick Fury, Sitwell will arrange for the dead to do some long-term missions and die in the next few years. Hydra often does this kind of thing and it won't leave any problems."

"Just make a plan!"

After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Lu Yu didn't ask any more questions.

How can we ask him for everything? Besides, he has many things to do.

What just happened was indeed a big deal, so, quite normally, Lu Yu got a chance to draw a lottery.

Not long ago, Lu Yu took advantage of this opportunity and got a very interesting thing - a big fat doll.

However, this big fat doll is not a real human-shaped doll.

Although the system once said that it was possible to draw a character, Lu Yu has not yet won one. The big fat doll he got this time was something similar to a rag doll.

It's called a substitute doll.

That’s right, it’s a prop for death in place of another, a substitute doll.

Lu Yu got such a treasure.

Moreover, this thing is not only able to withstand one fatal attack, but it will be resurrected immediately after "one hundred" deaths, clearing all the damage and negative effects suffered previously, without losing any items.

What a good thing! Compared with the Senzu beans I got last time, it is many times better.

Therefore, Lu Yu began to feel curious.

How exactly does this thing work?

Out of curiosity, Lu Yu took action.

He activated his core ability and began scanning.

Well, this is similar to the previous Rebellion card.

Progress is slow, but not impossible.

The material code of the substitute doll itself and some codes of its ability to substitute death appeared in front of Lu Yu.

Although the parsing process takes a long time.

The material of the substitute doll itself is not particularly important. Anything can be used as long as it can carry its own ability to substitute for death.

The most important thing is this ability to die on behalf of others.

Lu Yu found that this thing seemed to have profound meaning and seemed to have other uses.
