Chapter 402 Sentinel Project
Unbeknownst to Captain America, who was busy entangled with Hydra in the fog, the moment he missed the Human Torch was also observed by other people with ulterior motives.
"That young man really does look a lot like you, doesn't he?"
A slightly teasing female voice rang out from very close behind him. If it weren't for Captain America's voice, he probably would have pulled out his shield from his backpack and started fighting: "Don't suddenly appear behind me like that, Natalie."
"Calm down~"
Captain America's taut, ready-to-go physique couldn't be hidden from Black Widow, a former professional agent, who really didn't want to get involved in this extremely dangerous situation.
But there's nothing she can do; she's an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the current internal turmoil within S.H.I.E.L.D. is almost entirely predictable, with infighting being a common occurrence.
With Coulson missing and Nick Fury declared dead, she had to find the only person she could trust within the S.H.I.E.L.D. system: "We're in this together."
Captain America's response was, "Stay away from me, Black Widow."
If even Nick Fury himself can get shot in the street, then Captain America has no way of knowing whether anyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. is trustworthy.
Captain America is emotionally willing to believe Black Widow, but rationally speaking, as a double agent who once switched between the two major camps of the East and the West, Black Widow wears the label of untrustworthiness directly on her face.
"What did Nick Fury say to you before he died?" Black Widow still didn't give up.
"What did you talk about? Let me think." Even the usually serious Captain America wasn't always so tense: "Ah, right—we talked about Star Wars!"
This question wasn't just being asked by Black Widow; other high-ranking members of S.H.I.E.L.D., such as Alexander Pierce, who was initially accused of being Hydra by Superman, were also asking it.
Captain America could only tell them the truth: before Fury breathed his last, they were indeed talking about Anakin Skywalker's transformation from a Jedi Knight to a Sith in Star Wars.
Isn't S.H.I.E.L.D. the same now?
"I'm not your enemy, Steve. I want to help you."
Faced with this centenarian's uncooperative attitude, even Black Widow had no good way to deal with him: "Furry is either dead or he might not be dead at all, perhaps just hiding in some corner plotting something. We need to find him first!"
I don't care at all what Fury is messing around with.
Captain America wouldn't rely on Fury's brilliant wisdom to turn things around: "He'd better not leave any more troublesome problems behind, like some secret S.H.I.E.L.D. plan hidden somewhere."
No matter what, as the head of a bureau, he still managed to put himself in a situation where he could be shot in the street. With this level of professional competence, he should just go home and raise pigs.
"So what do you plan to do?"
Black Widow shook her head incredulously at Captain America's unyielding mind: "One person against the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.? This isn't the 1940s anymore!"
The era when Captain America and his Howling Commandos were invincible on the battlefield is over. A mere super soldier simply cannot stand up against a behemoth like S.H.I.E.L.D. in this new era, especially since S.H.I.E.L.D. is backed by the entire North American military and political organization.
"On the battlefield, there is an indispensable type of soldier called a scout."
Captain America has now become indifferent to this new era where his super-soldier status has inflated to the point where he is almost on par with an ordinary person. His powers may be outdated, but his experience will not: "I don't need to go head-to-head with them; I just need to do my job."
The secrets of Hydra, lurking in the shadows, are like this: the more you do, the more mistakes you make; with action, flaws will naturally emerge; if no one is chasing you, then you have to chase them yourself.
He just needs to keep investigating, and once he finds something he shouldn't be investigating, the other party will always respond.
"If there are things I can't handle, then there will naturally be people like Stark or Superman who can fly in the sky to handle them."
"Superman? Although there's no evidence, I'm pretty sure he's doing something behind all of our backs, and Stark is probably involved too. He even pulled Dr. Banner into the operation not long ago."
When asked about Dr. Banner's current movements, Black Widow was not very clear either. When she called to inquire, the answer was hesitant and evasive. At this juncture, it seems that everyone has their own secret that cannot be revealed.
"Would you rather believe their little clique than your colleagues at S.H.I.E.L.D."
Black Widow couldn't help but laugh as soon as she said that; she instantly understood why Captain America treated her that way.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is such a complex and unique organization that even she herself could only completely trust a handful of people within the agency.
"No offense intended—but Superman is far more trustworthy than you for now. Dismissed, soldiers."
It's no secret to Captain America that Superman has his own little group.
Rather, in this new era, apart from Captain America himself, a lonely old man who has just been dug out of the ground and is still trapped in the past, everyone has their own thoughts.
There was no point in saying more. Captain America, having distanced himself from Black Widow, set off on his journey again, his shield concealed by his backpack, not forgetting to warn her once more: "Don't keep following me. If I find you again, all you'll be waiting for is my shield."
He was going to the USB drive that Fury had given him before he died, which contained some incredible information.
One is
Fury marked something very important in the relevant documents group, which is also the direction that Captain America intends to focus on exploring.
He also saw another set of plans on the USB drive, which contained nearly twenty projects of varying sizes, each of which included a large number of bloody and inhumane human experiments.
Two of them are even connected to the Hulk inside Dr. Banner, and their ultimate goal is the same: to replicate the super soldier serum that created Captain America.
This is not good news.
As the perfect recipient of the super soldier serum, Captain America's enhancements are not only physical, but also mental, just as the serum's creators said: the better the better, and the worse the bad the worse.
Not everyone has a personality like Captain America's, and the problems that would arise from the proliferation of the Super Soldier Serum would be devastating.
Captain America had already memorized that series of experimental details and project names.
To
as well as----
After going over it in his mind, Captain America decided to deal with the "Insight Project, a crucial issue certified by Fury" first, and immediately turned to investigate this series of super soldier serum projects.
All projects involving human experimentation must be shut down immediately, and those responsible must be brought to justice!
And that young man who looked almost exactly like me when I was young should also be a key target for future investigation!
And so, Captain America missed out on something that could have truly had a significant impact on the world.
While Captain America was venturing into the unknown, the Human Torch was in for a terrible time.
