"Swish"

At 5 a.m., Merlin appeared outside the special care unit of SHIELD Hospital.

The expression on his face was cold, and there was a trace of unconcealed tension and worry in his eyes.

He quickly walked to the ward and looked at Fury, who was being rescued by doctors on the other side of the glass.

The head of the braised egg was extremely miserable. There were terrible wounds on his abdomen, burn marks, and terrifying claw marks behind him.

The doctors had to put him on a specially made hospital bed so that they could not press down on Fury's damaged spine.

Even through a wall, Merlin could feel Fury's weak aura, like a ghost about to leave the world.

"What the hell is going on?"

He turned his head and looked at Hill beside him.

Hill shook his head, his beautiful face full of unconcealed worries and pain.

"When we received the news, he was taken back to the hospital by a cloak."

"The cape tells us that all traces on the battlefield on the highway were burned out, and Fury's car was burned, and no one knew what was going on."

Hill held her arms, she had never seen Fury so weak.

And an attack on Fury made Hill unable to help but think of more...

Before this, even the most rampant thugs never targeted Fury.

Now that Fury is injured like this, does it mean that a terrifying storm aimed at S.H.I.E.L.D. is about to unfold?

The attack came so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.

Although SHIELD is a complete and strict organization, it has its own system to maintain operation.

But when the always reliable leader suddenly fell down, even a senior agent like Hill would feel a little panic.

"It's okay."

Merlin felt Hill's mood change, and he reached out and held Hill's shoulder, and he whispered:

"And I'm...it's OK."

"He will survive, he is strong, he has always been like this."

Merlin looked at Fury who was being rescued and said:

"It's not until he left the court. Nick Fury, a person like him, wouldn't die in such a cowardly manner..."

"Then, what should we do now?"

Hill looked up at Merlin and she whispered:

"Fry's current situation is in compliance with the emergency procedures. According to S.H.E.L.D.'s personnel rules, it is time for you to temporarily take over the position of Director of S.H.E.L.D. until the World Security Council responds to this."

"Now?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes and said:

"Block down the news! The command of SHIELD announced that Fury will take a 15-day vacation, and then everything will work as usual, and follow the normal personnel process to transfer Fury's daily work to me."

He looked down at Hill and said:

"As Fury's assistant, you should know some of the hidden threads under Fury, right?"

Hill hesitated for a moment, she glanced at the director in the ward, and she whispered:

"The director is indeed some contacts who are not in the S.H.E.L.D. system, and his own intelligence system..."

"very good."

Merlin patted Hill on the shoulder and said:

"You are now responsible for contacting them as Fury, and stabilizing those forces outside the system until Fury wakes up."

"Also, please contact Pierce, I need to meet him as soon as possible."

"Bang"

In Pierce's office, Pierce, who was awakened by emergency, heard the worst and worst bad news.

The news shocked him from his drunken state. He sat behind the desk. He looked at the projection on the table in front of him, and he said with a gloomy expression:

"You really can't do anything well, right?"

In front of him, Mrs. Hydra's expression was also quite ugly, she explained:

"Nick Fury is dead! I can be sure of this! He is just an ordinary person, and he can't survive the piercing of the Winter Soldier!"

"Then tell me, what's going on?"

Pierce picked up his phone and pointed to the message sent by Agent Hill on his phone, as well as Merlin's appointment.

At this moment, even though Pierce was so scheming and experiencing countless storms, he was also uneasy by this message.

But things are not bad enough to the worst.

Fury is still being rescued, which means that the identity of the Winter Soldier has not been revealed.

Even if the identity of the Winter Soldier is exposed, there is actually no big problem. At least in Merlin's aspect, it can still be carried out according to the original plan.

But the problem is that if Fury doesn't die...

Then the insight plan cannot be passed. Without the cooperation of SHIELD, this plan will never be implemented.

This is something Pierce can't stand!

"You boast about Haikou, you promised me that everything would go well, but you disappointed me again..."

Pierce sighed, leaning against the office chair, irritably reaching out to grab the tie hanging around his neck.

But under the angry appearance of the old man, there was a strange feeling in his heart, and he shouldn't have had a secret joy...

Perhaps in Pierce's heart, he was also feeling joy for Fury's miracle survival.

Although, he shouldn't be happy.

"There must be something that we don't know is affecting this."

Mrs. Hydra said:

"I can guarantee that Nick Fury is indeed dead..."

"Maybe, maybe the one who is lying on the hospital bed and being rescued is not Nick Fury at all, maybe that's just a fake that Merlin has made to calm people's hearts!"

"You also know how difficult Merlin is. In this case, it is normal for him to create a fake Fury to fool people!"

"And it is not impossible to deliberately create a fake to attract the murderer to come to the door again with his means!"

"Don't get lost!"

Pierce remained silent.

In his old body, the still wise head was thinking quickly.

Mrs. Hydra's statement also makes sense. If Merlin rushed back to deal with this matter, it would not be surprising to make such an arrangement in a short period of time with his wisdom.

But is that Fury...

Pierce narrowed his eyes and this matter must be confirmed.

If that Fury is fake, then he can't keep hiding it.

If that fake Fury was arranged by Merlin, then Merlin will definitely tell him the truth in the next conversation with Merlin.

You can't panic at this time...

"The person who is being rescued..."

Pierce said:

"I will confirm his identity. His appearance can be disguised, but those identity information cannot be disguised. As for you, madam..."

"I will make the Winter Soldier ready for assassination again."

Mrs. Hydra said gritting her teeth:

"This time I will definitely not miss it again! I promise!"

"ensure?"

Pierce snorted, and he said:

"Your guarantee is no longer binding. If it weren't for me, no one would be available... Alas, let him be prepared. The possibility of assassination under Merlin's nose is too small..."

Pierce crossed his hands, and a dark light blew in his eyes.

After a moment, he made up his mind and said to Mrs. Hydra:

"Be prepared to sacrifice him, maybe he can divert his sight again."

"Also, now is not the time to say anything about losses. The protective umbrella is ready to be transferred immediately! All unnecessary things are destroyed on the spot! Including your underground honeycomb laboratory..."
