Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

After the FBI stormed in, they left immediately without causing too much damage. So, aside from the scattered footprints in the house, there wasn't any other damage...

Old Gary, who had just thought so, walked into the only room and saw a broken window and a big bed with only the bed frame left but no mattress.

"Oh, Shit." Old Gary leaned out the window and saw that the mattress he provided was lying on the street.

Several people who were about to drive by but were blocked got out of their cars and stood in the street cursing. Someone even tried to drag the mattress out of the road.

"What kind of trouble has that kid Henry gotten himself into?" Old Gary murmured worriedly.

At this time, the man who was worried about by the landlord successfully created a time difference and temporarily escaped the pursuit of a group of people who claimed to be FBI but were actually S.H.I.E.L.D.

But he wasn't at all relieved. It was impossible to escape the official manhunt organized by the government.

Even without using movies as an example, he remembered watching live helicopter broadcasts from television stations, where police chased criminals for dozens of kilometers until they were finally intercepted or stopped due to an accident, and the criminals were arrested.

These SHIELD guys were hiding behind the FBI's cover, which actually made Henry unsure of how far they would go. Because the more powerful the organization, the more options they had for action, even if they didn't care about the consequences. Not to mention they were wearing a vest.

In contrast, the police's actions are based on certain rules and cannot be done arbitrarily. They are relatively easy to predict.

So Henry's first thought was to change cars.

Although the stolen car is quite conspicuous in the eyes of the police after it is discovered, the owner of the stolen car may not report it to the police immediately. This window of opportunity is the gap that Henry can take advantage of.

If he was still driving his old Cadillac, with the color and license plate in official records, it would be too obvious to the police.

Henry, who had never committed a crime and had never been involved in a police chase, was honestly quite at a loss at this time.

Those crime movies and TV shows were his only clues. However, Henry knew that most of them were exaggerated or embellished and could not be taken seriously.

With no experience to draw upon and not wanting to reveal too much to Barbara Morse, the SHIELD agent, Henry could only desperately try to find a way out.

Driving the car into an alley, with Henry's driving skills, this large Cadillac almost brushed against the walls and corners of the alley and parked in a corner full of waste.

Henry opened the door and let both Barbara and Katie out.

"Where is this?" Barbara asked.

"I don't know. I came here to change cars."

"You have a spare car here?" Barbara wondered if his experience at the mainland hotel had given him a backup car and a safe house.

But Henry quickly replied, "How could I possibly prepare something like that? I'll just steal one from the roadside."

Leading the man and the tiger, Henry walked from the other end of the alley to the street. This was a very remote neighborhood, with few people on the road and the street was quite dirty.

Henry pulled the door handle all the way without trying. When he pulled over to a rickety old car, the door opened with a thud. He immediately got into the driver's seat and started the engine with the manual ignition. The car started smoothly.

In another thirty or forty years, when the streets are full of remote-controlled electric vehicles, this won't be possible.

As soon as the car started, Henry immediately called out, "Bobby, get in." At the same time, he opened the back door and let Katie get in.

In fact, someone had already noticed them from a distance. However, with a large, obviously unusually sized cat nearby, no one dared to approach and investigate. The features of a lion and a tiger are both quite distinct, making it difficult to mistake them.

Henry certainly didn't need to go and explain anything. Besides, this wasn't the age of cell phones, so the two men and the tiger immediately walked away.

Chapter 347 The direction of rescue

In the car, Barbara Morse, who was temporarily safe, asked in confusion, "Henry, you're not afraid of them, are you? Why don't you fight back? Even if it's just to subdue them. Or are you only protected against pistol bullets? Assault rifles can hurt you?"

Henry explained, "I only know that the more the enemy wants us to do something, the more we should not do it. You know my ability, don't you think they are here to die?

"If so, is it possible that this is their purpose? Or do you think that all those people have betrayed us? They deserved to die."

Barbara Morse felt that the order itself was flawed. She knew more information than the others, which led her to disobey orders and be abandoned.

So where did this all go wrong? Barbara asked, "What do you think the problem is?"

"I don't know either." Henry lied. If it wasn't S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Shield, then it was most likely the Skrulls who appeared with Captain Marvel.

These aliens can assume human form at will, and subversion from within is their specialty, perfectly fitting the situation described by Barbara Morse.

From the situation of the Winter Soldier assassinating the Starks, we can see that the Americans’ criteria for determining the murderer will fluctuate depending on the circumstances.

Killing unregistered aliens would be in vain, no matter how many people died. But if he attacked S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel, regardless of whether it was the Skrulls who were at fault, would these agents whose companions had been wrongly killed be ruined by this?

A more important question is why the Skrulls are targeting him?

Henry asked, "Bobby, do you have anyone in your organization you can trust to ask what the current situation is?"

Barbara, sitting in the passenger seat, bit her fingernails. "Can we trust you now?"

The trainee agent was shot several times by his own people. Although the bullets were not many and did not cause fatal injuries, he was on the verge of collapse due to the crisis of confidence.

Perhaps this was a good opportunity to win over Barbara Morse, but since she was on the run, Henry could only calm her down and persuade her:

"I don't know if the people you thought you could trust before can still be trusted now. But remember, you don't have to take what they say literally.

"Is his attitude the same as usual? Is his behavior pattern different, or is he treating you differently than usual, like an enemy or a foe?

"Is there anything illogical about the other person's context or words? These things help us understand the situation and determine whether they are telling the truth or luring us into a trap.

“Not to mention those who feel they have the upper hand. Most of them are willing to endlessly analyze the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, hoping to make their opponents lose hope and surrender, thus saving them from further trouble.

"What these people say will reveal enough information to help us determine the true nature of the matter. To obtain this intelligence, you must not be afraid to communicate with others."

But Henry's admonition didn't reassure Barbara. Instead, she looked at the man with a strange expression. "Is this how you view me? You don't trust anyone?"

Henry, not feeling embarrassed at all, just smiled and said, "Trust is a false proposition. If your behavior is in my best interest or a future worth investing in, then it doesn't matter whether you tell the truth or not.

"If your actions are intended to harm me or cause irreparable damage, then it doesn't matter whether you tell the truth or not. I simply judge a person's intentions rationally and decide my actions accordingly.

"And trust, isn't it, something I do under the assumption that the other person won't hurt me? Or does it mean that, in order to demonstrate trust and loyalty, I have to willingly accept a stab in the back?"

Barbara pouted and grumbled, "Well, I can't argue with you, you annoying guy." She pulled a cell phone from her coat. "I'm going to call someone and ask about the situation. I hope that guy won't betray my trust."

The call was quickly picked up. Barbara just said, "Fury..."

An exasperated voice came over the phone. "Bobby, Waltfake! I just ran into trouble, and when I got back I heard you were in trouble too. You're just an intern, right? How come you ran into a nuclear crisis right out of the gate?"

"Fury, stop yelling at me! I want to know why more than you do. I thought SHIELD was a just organization that maintains world peace, but I never thought it was a gathering place for idiots!"

"Woo, calm down, girl. Only the elite who pass the assessment will be selected to join S.H.I.E.L.D., and you know that. Now calmly tell me what happened."

Barbara quickly recounted the entire story and expressed her suspicions.

The man on the other end of the line listened quietly. Finally, he asked, "Are you saying that Agent Gordon's order to you was to shoot Henry Brown? The Henry Brown we know?"

"Yes." Barbara answered simply, but she was concentrating on Fury's reply.

If the other party wants to lie and deceive you, this is the best time to turn around.

"Okay, girl, I'm going to tell you something incredible. This hasn't been reported yet, and there's no declassification authority, but it's definitely classified information that can't be widely circulated. You better watch your mouth."

"Go ahead. You know I know my limits, otherwise I wouldn't be involved in the professor's research project."

In high school, Barbara Morse was part of biology professor Wilma Calvin's government-funded research team developing a super-soldier serum.

Because it's a government project, not just anyone can join. Besides meeting the required skills, you also have to pass a loyalty assessment.

Don't think that the American Empire, which prides itself on freedom, doesn't have this kind of system. Their core elite class is not something that just anyone can join.

However, this experience is like the best proof for Barbara. Nick Fury also said on the phone: "I met aliens today. They can change their appearance at will and become anyone you know.

"He pretended to be Phil in front of me, and I couldn't recognize him at all. Until the real Phil called me. If what you said is true, then Gordon may have been replaced."

"So what do we do? Report to Commander Kohler?"

"Not yet."

"Why?" Barbara questioned.

Fury on the phone said, "Let me put it this way, because I have no way of ensuring that you are the real deal. I'm not so lucky. There's another Barbara Morse around me. The same thing goes for Kohler."

"Then what are you going to do?"

After thinking for a moment, Fury seemed to have made up his mind and said seriously, "Listen to me, Bobby. I'm going to track down a key figure now. According to the clues reported to the police, he is suspected to be in an Internet cafe. Let's meet there and talk in person."

"Okay, just..."

"Just what? Tell me quickly." Fury said impatiently.

"I have a companion here."

"Who?"

"Henry Brown."

"Hen...! Are you sure?" Fury asked in disbelief.

"And his tiger," Barbara added, only for Henry to correct her, "It's a tabby cat, not a tiger."

There was a long silence on the phone, and finally he said, "Forget it, just let him come along. If Gordon is replaced by aliens, besides being curious about why he's being targeted, the enemy of my enemy can also become an ally."

Then, Fury gave out a string of addresses. Barbara relayed them and asked, "Henry, do you know where that is?"

Henry nodded. Barbara said into the phone, "I see. We'll meet you there, Fury."

"Well, be careful." Fury hung up the phone.

Retracting the antenna of her mobile phone, Barbara relayed what she could to Henry, even though the Kryptonian, with his super hearing, had already heard every detail of the previous conversation.

After she finished speaking, Barbara asked, "Do you think this Fury is trustworthy?"

"This is someone you know, but I don't know him. So it's up to you to decide whether this person can be trusted."

Henry didn't blindly make predictions about the film's plot, instead leaving the decision to Barbara. He was thinking, "The 'Fury' on the other end of the line must be Nick Fury, the future Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Could it be the white one-eyed man I have seen?

Chapter 348: First Meeting with Fury

"Henry, nice to meet you. I'm Nicholas Joseph Fury. Just call me Fury, that's what my friends call me. Actually, I was hoping to meet you in a more appropriate setting, not under these circumstances."

Standing on the street, "Fury," introduced by Barbara Morse, was a tall, black man with a pair of eyes. He was middle-aged, with a buzz cut in the style of an African American. His shrewdness and witty conversation were instantly relatable, creating an immediate impression.

...If you didn't know the messy relationship behind this guy.

Henry, meeting her for the first time, showed no obvious signs of like or dislike. Instead, he extended his hand in response to the other person's handshake, then looked at Barbara Morse with an expression of complete ignorance.

Compared to Barbara, whose roles as a campus and a social figure are even more ambiguous, Nick Fury fought in the Vietnam War, served as a spy during the Cold War, and eventually joined S.H.I.E.L.D. as an agent. His experience in interpersonal relationships is much richer.

The Black Nick Fury confessed, "It was my idea to let Bobby contact you. I've wanted to contact you for a long time, but I didn't expect some misunderstandings to arise. We had good intentions.

"Before I found a better opportunity, I didn't want the misunderstanding between us to deepen, so I stopped trying to contact you. I didn't expect you to become the target of those aliens. Do you have any idea why?"

Is this an excuse for Barbara Morse's previous behavior?

I have to say, this is a reasonable excuse. At least when Barbara was in contact with Henry, she didn't show any malice, she just concealed some things.

In this situation, Henry certainly wouldn't just start yelling for war and killing the moment they met. He simply pretended he didn't know anything unnecessary and answered Nick Fury's questions.

"I can't think of any reason why I'm being targeted. That's why I want to find the answer. Otherwise, I would have already started to solve the problem."

"Indeed."

Nick Fury knew exactly who he was: the CEO of Stark Films.

Although he wasn't from Stark Industries, the salary of a CEO was something he couldn't afford on his own. So what could he offer to recruit him?

It's already very principled of him not to ask for favors or financial support.

The best way to deal with such people is to stimulate their patriotism and take the patriotic route, rather than talking about money or interests in a vulgar way. This is quite useful for some young people who still have ideals.

Barbara had tried this method before, and she knew it didn't work. The other person wasn't someone you could impress with "ideals" or "money."

The success of Tony Stark's recruitment can be seen from the intelligence they collected. It is more of a competition of geniuses, or resonance.

The digitalization of movies that is subtly disrupting the peace of Hollywood is the work of this young man.

If a college student were to make such a claim, they would probably be dismissed as one of those Silicon Valley upstarts. Nine out of ten will be exposed, and the remaining one will soar to fame.

But backed by Stark Industries and claiming to digitize film production, this carries a completely different weight. The shadow cast by Howard Stark has not yet faded from the minds of the old men who experienced it.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, this young man was just a puppet of Tony Stark. Not many people believed that he was really the leader!

It was this mutual admiration between geniuses that caused Nick Fury to miss out on this genius he had been eyeing for a long time and fall into Stark's control.

The above is Nick Fury's deduction. If Henry knew, he would not only refute every point, but would also sneer at most of them.

However, this does not prevent Nick Fury from treating the CEO of Stark Films, a young man much younger than him, who was inexplicably involved, with a more equal attitude.

Nick Fury said, "I regret to say this, but I believe S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions against you are due to alien infiltration into our organization.

"I've personally witnessed their ability to transform into familiar people, and I couldn't tell the difference. And now the key figure I'm looking for is the woman who clashed with these aliens.
