CHAPTER 211 THE DUST SETTLES

“Damn it!!” Watching Bucky fall from a dozen floors in front of himself, Lin Rui screamed with a very ugly expression on his face.

Then, regardless of the battle between the aircraft carriers and the Iron Man Armor outside, Lin Rui jumped out at the same time. He wants to save Winter Soldier Bucky. Such a good opportunity to remind Bucky of his past memory and getting rid of Hydra’s brainwashing. Lin Rui won’t give up so easily.

Whirl!!

However, just a second after Lin Rui had just jumped out, another missile from the mid-air battlefield outside the building blasted towards Lin Rui.

“I ~~ Fuc…!”

Boom! Lin Rui, who had just jumped out, had no time to curse and was hit hard by the missile.

Rumble!

In a violent explosion, a dark figure with his arms across his chest was blown from the center of the blast by the blast wave, and only came to a stop when it struck the interior wall of the building.

Huh ~

Lin Rui, who was hit by an explosive shock wave, slammed into the wall, and his back sunk into the wall about five centimeters deep. The whole person was like a large pie stuck to the wall.

Kakaka! A few seconds after sticking to the wall, Lin Rui’s body gave a sound as he gives a blast and jumps off the wall with a twist.

“Whew! How powerful is this missile!” Lin Rui, who has fallen to the ground, takes a long breath and mutters, clearly still apprehensive of what has happened.

Although Lin Rui upgraded the Phantom Suit’s hot weapon defense to C Grade, it does not mean that he can defend against the attack of this powerful missile. Moreover, Lin Rui had a feeling of being targeted just now. It seemed that the missile was aimed at himself and it almost broke the defense of the Phantom Suit. This was abnormal.

“J.A.R.V.I.S, are you still there?” Glancing at the Iron Man Armors and SHIELD fighters planes outside, Lin Rui glanced and shouted suddenly.

“How can I help you, Mirage Knight.” Soon, J.A.R.V.I.S’s voice came through the headset.

“Do you know who was attacking me just now?” The Iron Man Armor team outside was under the control of J.A.R.V.I.S. Then the guys who attacked him were obviously those that were about to be shot down, so Lin Rui would ask J.A.R.V.I.S.

J.A.R.V.I.S was silent for a few seconds after Lin Rui asked this question, but he quickly replied to Lin Rui.

“Mr. Mirage Knight, depending on where you are now. The missile attack that occurred on your position has a 95% probability of being an accident.”

“Twice?” Lin Rui frowned again after hearing J.A.R.V.I.S’s answer.

“Yes.” J.A.R.V.I.S’s answer was as simple and straightforward as ever, and it seemed that it has calculated the trajectories and directions of the missiles.

“Ok, I see. Can you take care of these troubles outside as soon as possible.” Now that J.A.R.V.I.S. has said so, Lin Rui said as he suppressed the uncomfortable feelings in his heart.

Next, Lin Rui walked across the rubble in front of him to the corner of the wall that had been collapsed. Standing on the gravel and looking down the building, Bucky’s figure was completely invisible. Lin Rui doesn’t know if Bucky is dead or alive if he falls like this, but Lin Rui thinks that it is more likely that he would see him later. After all, Bucky also have very important roles in many Marvel movies.

“Forget it, there will always be a chance to find him in the future. And what I said just seemed to remind him of something, Bucky should not go back to find Hydra. I also asked J.A.R.V.I.S. to intercept his files so that no one else would find trouble with him.” Standing on the edge of the building and looking outside, Lin Rui thought silently.

Huh ~

A few seconds later, Lin Rui, in good spirits, turns away and heads back toward Captain Rogers’s position.

…

Captain Rogers wasn’t at the place where he had fought against the Winter Soldier. He and others went upstairs together after hearing from Natasha that Fury had been shot. Lin Rui also made it to the top after contacting Daredevil.

At this time, the Hydra affiliation of SHIELD headquarters has been basically resolved. Although SHIELD also lost a lot of agents, this result is already the best.

“Fury, are you okay?” Following Natasha to the conference room on the top floor, Steve saw Fury being taken care of by several members of the World Security Council, and the blood on his chest was especially noticeable.

“It’s okay, that shot missed the mark.” Fury is in better shape than he looks.

But Natasha, who was standing behind Steve, blinked when she heard Fury’s words. She had checked Fury’s condition before and that shot hadn’t missed its mark but Fury was not dead and his wound simply looked like an ordinary gunshot wound. With the Winter Soldier’s marksmanship, it is impossible for him to miss, Fury’s situation is clearly not normal.

Although Natasha didn’t understand what happened to Fury, Fury knew it. Aside from the fact that he had a simplified version of the super-soldier serum that had been injected into his body, the most likely cause was the unknown liquid that Mirage Knight had given him to drink.

Since Fury woke up, he felt that his body is getting better every day. Not only has his previous injuries have been healed and he is now able to get quick treatment for a life-threatening gunshot wound. Fury wasn’t about to say anything even if he knew that it might have something to do with Mirage Knight’s unknown potion.

“That’s good. Fury, our plan was successful. Alexander is dead, and members of Hydra lurking inside SHIELD have been wiped out!” Confirming that Fury’s life is not in danger, Captain Rogers goes on to say seriously.

“Oh, I know. However, we also paid a high price.” Fury said in a low tone.

Except for SHIELD’s own manpower lost in the war and the destruction of the entire headquarters, the biggest loss for Fury was actually the decrypted data. To keep Hydra out of hiding, Fury had to do just that. However, this also makes many top-secret materials that should not be exposed to appear to the public, which is not good news for SHIELD.

“We will survive it and after this incident, I don’t think that the World Security Council will put too much pressure on you, and maybe your plan will be easier to implement.” Holding Fury, Captain Rogers continued and looked towards the frightened members of the World Security Council.

“Of course! We now fully support Director Fury’s decisions. The formation of the Avengers Alliance has become necessary. However, there are still some details that need to be discussed before that.” Facing Captain Rogers, the members of the World Security Council immediately expressed their positions.

However, although they now say that they will support the Avengers Alliance, they have not said anything. After all, SHIELD has been infiltrated by Hydra for so many years, and now it has cost so much to clear this tumor out. The World Security director will certainly no longer trust SHIELD as before. The focus of their subsequent discussions may be on the supervision of SHIELD, especially these superheroes who are far superior to the ordinary people. Of course, these things will not be spoken by them in front of Captain Rogers.

Hearing the words of those members of the World Security Council, Lin Rui who stood in the doorway didn’t go in. These politicians at the top of the world only think about their safety when they are in danger. Once the danger is over, they will start to think about how to maximize their power to ensure their future safety.

“Daredevil, there is nothing more to do here, I will leave first. Also, if Captain Rogers asks about that Hydra’s killer, you can tell him that I didn’t catch up and he got away.” The matter has been resolved and Lin Rui doesn’t want to stay here for a long time. He told Daredevil and walked out silently.

Soon, Lin Rui disappears into the corridors of the top floor.

Mirage Knight’s departure was noticed by Captain Rogers but he did not prevent it. Mirage Knight’s position has been made clear before as he was only helping SHIELD deal with Hydra, and that it had happened, it is normal for him to leave.
