Two days later, a car was racing on the intercontinental highway.
Jackson's classic old songs echoed in the carriage.
While the vehicle was swaying, Fury stepped on the accelerator, causing the heavy black suv to burst out with a roar, and the thick wheels jumped over a gully, making it move faster.
Fury grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.
Instead of wearing his signature black windbreaker, he changed into a sloppy brown jacket, a baseball cap and large sunglasses on his face.
It looks like a homeless man stealing a car and running away.
"It's all emptied."
Fury looked at the town on both sides of the street, which was clearly the transportation line to the most prosperous area of ​​Colorado.
But the town on the roadside was empty, the weeds near the house had grown, and the garbage left after evacuation on the street was rolling around in the wind.
A flock of birds gathered on the telephone poles in the town, and they were chirping as if no one was around, and they had even built nests there.
When the low engine sounded, the birds flew everywhere.
Fury frowned and looked at the birds flapping their wings.
The eyes of those little creatures were a little red, and they seemed to be bigger than those of the birds outside.
"Is it because of the virus?"
Fury pressed the bridge and a blue projection jumped into his eyes.
There is a red and eye-catching circle on the map, and there is a small circle in the large circle. The red color is darker, and it looks like something unknown is surging.
Fury has already entered the periphery of the Colorado virus defense circle. According to the direction of the vehicle, it may take him 2-3 hours to enter the internal defense circle.
“Automatic driving!”
Fury leaned against the driver's seat, he said, and then left the steering wheel with both hands.
After the automatic driving function was activated, the car sponsored by Waller entered a smooth operation, and a sweet voice rang in the car.
"Please set an autonomous driving destination."
“Raccoon City!”
Fury said casually.
Then I picked up a round sandwich from the lattice next to me, took it apart, and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Logically speaking, although Fury is in a "deep diving" state, he should still have money to take a plane.
The former director of SHIELD almost became a top official of the World Security Council. Even if he was in a down-and-out position, he would not drive for a long distance by himself.
But the problem is that the place he is going to is more sensitive.
In the six months since the outbreak of the Raccoon City virus, planes to Raccoon City have been stopped long ago, and only planes with permission can land at Raccoon City Airport.
Those aircraft that cross the boundary at will will be shot down by turrets arranged near the virus defense zone.
And this matter...
The official rare unusual toughness that has always been hailed as a free dish.
In the past 6 months, 27 small or drones have been shot down, and 11 guys who like to joke very much have made breakthroughs and defended themselves to Raccoon City as they wish...
In the way of a corpse.
It is not a big problem for Fury to get a plane ticket through Waller's relationship.
But he didn't want to reveal that he was in trouble again, so he could only use this more laborious method.
Of course, Fury also needs a period of time to be alone. On the one hand, he adapts to the world where he was born in a major change in nearly 7 months.
On the other hand, although he said that he could not deal with the Skuru people.
But in fact, the moment he returned to Earth, he had already begun to plan how to find out the hidden guys.
Not only because the Skuru people are really hateful, they really deserve to die.
More importantly, if this is Merlin's last wish, then Fury feels necessary and should do it!
In addition to his identity as an agent, Fury is also a veteran.
"Oh, Waller barely cheated over..."
Fury finished the sandwich and leaned against the driver's seat. He rubbed his forehead and thought:
"Waller was frightened."
"She didn't know that I had no other power to use except for some secret bases that were still in operation, but it shouldn't be hidden for long."
"Using SS serum can temporarily stabilize her and let her stand on my side, but relying solely on the unstable Tianyan will make it difficult to seize the handles of those Skuru people in a short time..."
“Some layout is needed.”
Fury thought:
"The most important thing is that besides Carol, I need some way to identify the Skuru people, preferably an instrument, a portable thing."
"The engineering lab at Ghost Base is said to be at Raccoon City Frontline Base, but it still needs some experts...Reed, Banner, George, Tony...No, Tony can't do it!"
"That guy's mouth is not strict, and with his pace of life, maybe there are already Skuru people lurking around him, or worse..."
One by one, they jumped out of Fury's mind, and were screened or rejected.
After Fury returned to Earth, in the foreseeable future, he would inevitably compete with the Skuru people in a case-by-case manner, and he would have to form a team.
Unfortunately, SHIELD's system has been completely broken up, with elite members either leaving office or going to other departments.
Fortunately, Merlin also left him the last force that was absolutely trustworthy.
Moreover, in terms of the purpose of the Skuru people coming to Earth and their current style of conduct, Fury did not think that those lurkers would risk being infected by the virus and lurking in the Raccoon City base.
So, it should be safe for the time being.
I just don’t know whether Hill and the others know about the Skuru people now.
And, have they made corresponding defenses?
With this kind of thinking, Fury's car drove him all the way to the Raccoon City that no one would want to go to at this time.
Looking through the car window, he could even see the shadow of the mountainous areas around Raccoon City.
"Oh, I'm born to be hard-working."
Fury opened the car window and felt the comfortable wind slapping on his face. He took off his sunglasses and closed his eyes to rest.
Suddenly he remembered another thing, he said:
“Merlin…”
"Are you really dead?"
"Why do I feel like you are hiding somewhere, planning something like me..."
———————————
"Commander Hill, the observer of the Sky Eye Society has arrived."
In the ASUS command ship over Raccoon City, Hill, who is checking the situation in Raccoon City on a daily basis, received news from the ground.
She stood up, tidied her clothes and hair, and then stepped out of the command room.
A moment later, at a ground base less than 5 kilometers away from Raccoon City, Hill saw the newly dispatched observers from the Sky Eye Association.
A tall black man.
He has a gentle expression, always with a smile, and looks very friendly.
But I don't know if it's an illusion, Hill always feels that he has seen this guy somewhere...
Although she didn't have this face in her memory.
"Hello, Commander Hill."
Fury walked towards Hill with his suitcase. He looked at his former assistant to the director. He had only not seen him for more than 7 months. Hill seemed to have grown a lot.
She already has the temperament that she should have as a leader.
Well, I've lost a lot of weight.
I heard that something happened to her and Merlin before the final battle...
That is to say, my previous guess about the relationship between Hill and Merlin is correct?
There is indeed some little secret between these two people.
"Hello, Mr. Nicolas."
Hill glanced at the breastplate on Fury's chest, and her eyes blinked. The name made her feel more and more familiar with the person in front of her.
She reached out to Fury and quietly gestured behind her with her other hand.
Several demon hunting agents walked around as if they were working normally.
But after closer inspection, they were all approaching Fury.
The two of them held their hands together, Hill raised her head, she looked at Fury, she said:
"You reminded me of a friend."
“A lot of people say that.”
Fury looked around and looked around.
The moment Hill let go of his hand, he raised his arms decisively, and his original voice said:
"Long time no see, Hill."
"Swish"
Hill reached out and pulled the polymer mask out of Fury's ear.
Hill's expression changed a little when he saw Fry's face without a smile, as if the whole world owed him money.
A few seconds later, she waved her hand and signaled the demon hunting agents to disperse.
She said to Fury:
"Long time no see, Fury."
A few minutes later, in a secret tent outside the Raccoon City base, Fury saw the old guys coming.
Natasha and Patton, two trustworthy old agents.
And Steve, the trustworthy Captain America.
Finally, Maria Hill, the commander who carried the banner after both Fury and Merlin disappeared.
Colson, Melinda and Sharon, S.d.o.l.d. The "three generals" who were still there, were the first batch of demon hunting agents trained by Merlin himself.
"Very good. Everyone comes to see me, the dead person, which makes me feel like I'm back in the world."
Fury sat in the tent, holding a thermos and said to the person in front of him:
"Don't ask me how I feel after being captured by aliens. I can only tell you that those guys did not abuse me. In fact, I have spent the past few months in the dormant warehouse."
"No one cares about that, Fury."
The captain said with a smile:
"We only care about you coming back. In addition, we are curious whether you are coming back?"
"It's another fake."
Natasha leaned against the posts of the tent, and she plucked her hair, she said:
"Do you want to test it?"
“What to test?”
Fury snorted:
“Ask a question?”
"No!"
Silent, Patton walked forward with a knife on his back.
He squatted in front of Fury, Hawkeye wearing a pair of purple glasses, which should be new equipment.
He took a small box from his belt and placed it in Fury's hand.
Patton said:
"I know about the Skuru people's question, Xiaona and I, in Merlin... Anyway, he told us about this problem before he went."
“Merlin had a preliminary idea, and we made it a reality.”
"Open it, Fury!"
Hill put his finger on the gun at her waist and said to Fury:
"This is your ultimate test."
"Friendly reminder, if you are a fake, then you should beg for mercy now... The last fake Fury caused everyone to betray him."
"I'm true."
Fury snorted, and he opened the small box in his hand indifferently, glanced at it, and his one-eyed narrowed.
In the small black box, there are symbiosis like ink entanglements.
"Symbiosis?"
Fury looked at the others in front of him and said:
"How did Merlin come up with the idea of ​​this genius?"
Symbiotes need a host to exist.
In the process of selecting hosts by symbiosis, these things that also come from aliens will penetrate into the host's body and complete symbiosis at the genetic level.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, even the Skuru people's concealment and changes that reach the molecular level cannot be concealed by the symbiotic body.
Of course, it's just a theory, no one knows whether it is really useful or not.
“It’s just a test at the moment.”
Colson said:
"Dr. Banner and Dr. Betty are trying to turn it into a normalized identity detector, but unfortunately, the progress is very slow."
“On the one hand, we know too little about symbionts.”
Melinda also pushed her glasses helplessly, and she said:
"On the other hand, the number of symbionts itself is very small. Although they can split, this split is not infinite..."
"Where is Dr. Moira?"
Fury asked others while putting his fingers into the black box and letting the black symbiosis fixed in the box cover his fingers:
"Isn't she and Lillian leading a research project on symbiosis before?"
"Oh, it seems you don't know yet."
The captain sighed and said:
"After things were taken into control at Raccoon City, Dr. Moira and Mr. George left, and no one knew where they went."
"And Lillian...Lillian left too."
"Have you ever persuaded me?"
Fury frowned and said:
"Just let outstanding talents leave?"
No one answered him, and Sharon reached out and pushed open the curtain of the tent.
She pointed to a forest-like woods and vines that were strangely present on the plain thousands of meters away, and she said to Fury:
"Did you see that thing? Fury...Director."
"Just call me Fury."
Fury waved his hand, and he looked at the strange woods that looked at, and he said:
"What does that mean?"
"We tried to persuade Lillian to stay...but Lillian didn't want to, she was a little confused at the time."
Colson said with regret:
"She said she only believed in Chief Merlin, not us, and said we were all Hydra, and we tried to stop her...that was the result of stopping..."
"After the alienated seeds are activated, the coverage reaches dozens of hectares of strange forests."
Hill shook his head:
"No one knows why Lillian is so powerful all of a sudden."
"But the problem lies here. At that time, we had no role to keep her here... We didn't want to hurt her, so we could only watch her leave."
"All right."
Fury watched the symbiote spread out from his fingers and said to the others:
“My identity is verified, right?”
"Um."
Hawkeye picked up the box, looked at some information, and he raised his head and said to Fury:
"Welcome back, Fury."
"Um."
Fury also stood up, and he looked at everyone in front of him, and he said in a deep voice:
"SHIELD is a past tense, everyone...I am no longer the director, I will join you as a companion."
"And I came here only to stop a subversion of civilization and to fulfill the wishes of my old friends. This requires your help, just for Merlin..."
"I need you! I need everyone!"
He raised his hand to Hill, saluted, and he shouted:
"Recruitment Nick Nicholas Fury..."
“Apply to join s.d.o.l.d.!”
Chapter completed!
