As a member of the Howling Commandos, Bucky, like Captain America, was remembered as a hero and heavily promoted in museums.
Therefore, Nick Fury and Iron Man were both very familiar with Bucky's information, including his appearance.
So, after Bucky's mask was knocked off, they immediately recognized his identity.
Considering Bucky's age, which they had previously deduced, Bucky's identity could basically be said to be beyond doubt; there was no possibility of him being another person who just looked very similar.
After all, they were both from the World War II era and looked exactly alike—what kind of coincidence would that be?
Not only that, but through the previous question, they also deduced that Bucky might not have died!
All of this indicated that the Winter Soldier was indeed Captain America's close friend, there was no mistake.
"Bucky isn't dead! Bucky really isn't dead!"
Captain America murmured, a mix of excitement, relief, and bewilderment, his emotions incredibly complex.
On one hand, he was genuinely happy that his old friend was still alive.
But at the same time, the fact that his old friend had become a cold-blooded executioner, even mercilessly wielding a blade against him, indeed caught Captain America off guard.
"Bucky didn't even recognize me. This is very wrong. Clearly, someone did something to him!" Captain America immediately explained to Nick Fury and Iron Man, "That wasn't him!"
"Indeed, Bucky must have been brainwashed by the organization behind him, turning him into a tool that only knows how to kill," Nick Fury also nodded.
This point was quite obvious, and no one had any objections.
After all, a national hero from the Howling Commandos wouldn't just inexplicably turn into a cold-blooded assassin and agent.
"I must find Bucky as soon as possible! I must save Bucky!" Captain America said emphatically, and after muttering a few words, he earnestly asked Nick Fury, "Nick Fury, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"You want me to help you find Bucky?" Nick Fury could guess it with his eyes closed.
"That's right. Consider it a favor I owe you!" Captain America didn't deny it, nodding heavily. "With your all-seeing eye, this shouldn't be difficult."
"Alright, Captain, I agree!" Nick Fury agreed with almost no hesitation.
In any case, Captain America was a future member of the Avengers, and even the person Nick Fury trusted most before his own death would be Captain America.
Nick Fury naturally wouldn't refuse such a small matter.
By helping Captain America now, when it came time to ask Captain America to join the Avengers in the future, Captain America would find it harder to refuse.
Nick Fury's calculations were practically clanging.
"That's great, thank you, Nick Fury!" Captain America sincerely thanked Nick Fury.
"You're welcome, Captain. Perhaps in the future, I'll need you even more," Nick Fury said casually.
"If you need me in the future, I'll be there," Captain America immediately replied, a promise to the 'Egghead Hero'.
"Then how about… we start by eradicating Hydra?" Nick Fury immediately suggested.
"Nick Fury, this isn't helping you. I've been fighting Hydra my entire life. This is my fight! My unfinished battle!"
Captain America said with a serious expression.
On the matter of dealing with Hydra, both sides happily reached an agreement.
"Let's analyze the footage from earlier," Nick Fury then turned his head. "The footage from earlier still revealed a lot of information to us."
"That bald commander, he's with Hydra, Nick Fury. You have an mole in SHIELD!" Iron Man interjected, "Hydra has infiltrated SHIELD!"
At the mention of this, Nick Fury's face turned grim, as if he had been slapped hard a few times.
SHIELD was Hydra's enemy, constantly fighting against them.
They once thought they had achieved a complete victory in this struggle, eradicating Hydra.
Who would have thought that the reality was completely different?
Hydra not only survived but also infiltrated SHIELD!
This was SHIELD!
If Hydra could infiltrate an organization like SHIELD, who knew how many other agencies and organizations Hydra had infiltrated?
Hydra now was probably a massive behemoth.
"The Winter Soldier, he must be controlled by Hydra," Captain America added with a serious expression. "That bald commander betrayed Hydra, so Hydra sent Bucky to silence him."
Nick Fury and Iron Man agreed with Captain America's deduction.
The bald commander had said that Hydra hated leaks.
Since they hated leaks, they would naturally send assassins to eliminate those who leaked information.
And since the target was captured by a super-soldier like Captain America, sending ordinary agents would be useless, so the Winter Soldier naturally took action.
"And that Project Insight!" Captain America added, "That's clearly a Hydra plan too!"
Nick Fury nodded with a serious expression: "After the quiz is over, I will investigate thoroughly."
Whatever Project Insight was, since it was created by Hydra, it must be an evil plan.
It had to be stopped no matter what!
If possible, it would be best to nip this plan in the bud!
"Nick Fury, since there's a Hydra mole in SHIELD, there might be other moles!"
Nick Fury agreed with Iron Man's words; he didn't believe that the bald commander was the only mole in SHIELD.
That didn't align with Hydra's usual modus operandi; there must still be other Hydra agents lurking in SHIELD.
Nick Fury just didn't know who they were.
More importantly, there was one question that truly puzzled Nick Fury: with SHIELD's current standing and size, how could they not have noticed any trace of Hydra?
This was very unreasonable!
SHIELD wasn't just sitting around doing nothing!
How could they not detect any traces?
This round of questioning is over!
The system's prompt sounded at this moment, and the large screen that had been floating in front of them directly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
