"Your ability is vibration. Don't rush, just treat this place as your home and lie down there to rest for a while. I believe someone will come to pick you up soon."
Seeing Skye emerge from her cocoon, looking bewildered, Li Chuan, in his invisible state, secretly transmitted instructions.
Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, a middle-aged man with no eyes suddenly appeared in the room. It was Gordon, who had teleported from Afterlife.
After Gordon appeared, he first cautiously surveyed his surroundings. Upon discovering it was just an ordinary farm and that there was no one else besides the awakened Skye, he stepped forward, grabbed Skye, and instantly disappeared.
"The distance is really not close!"
Li Chuan dispelled his Illusion Charm, looked at the locator in his hand, and after confirming the location of Afterlife, his Flying Sword Wings unfurled behind him. Man and sword became one, transforming into a streak of light as he chased after them.
His current cultivation is at the early stage of Golden Core, but because the speed of the Flying Sword Wings far exceeds that of ordinary flying swords, his speed when performing sword evasion is approximately Mach 30.
This means that if he were to use his full power in sword evasion, it would only take him a little over an hour to circumnavigate Earth.
Before Stark Industries closed its weapons division, the fastest intercontinental missile it produced had a speed of only Mach 26. His sword evasion speed is even faster than an intercontinental missile.
This is also because he is only in the early stage of Core Formation. As his cultivation gets higher and higher, and his sword control skills become better and better, his sword evasion speed will only increase.
Thinking about the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords combining to achieve stream of light speed, which is light speed, around Mach 880,000, it's no wonder that Nether Spring, who absorbed the power of the Blood Spring, with his ten thousand souls, still met his demise on the spot.
It's also no wonder that the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords are regarded as the treasure of Mount Emei's sect and are so highly valued by Bai Mei.
Unfortunately, the spiritual energy on Earth in the Marvel Main Universe is far less abundant than in the Shu Mountain World, and there is no concentration of spiritual energy like Mount Emei. The efficiency of his cultivation methods in the Main World is greatly reduced.
Therefore, he is also considering, after resolving the Inhumans incident, having his scientists study the spiritual energy within his body to see if they can use scientific power to create a machine that can gather spiritual energy.
As Li Chuan flew towards the Inhumans Base, Afterlife, an emergency meeting was also being held inside the Helicarrier floating above Washington.
Ever since S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA went to war, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters had been moved from the Triskelion to the Helicarrier.
The Triskelion as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters was too obvious. In the past, it was because they didn't know HYDRA existed, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was supported by high-level officials in most countries, making it the World's largest organization, so they naturally weren't afraid.
But now, due to the HYDRA split, most national governments' high-level officials no longer trust S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s power has drastically shrunk. Using the Triskelion as headquarters again, it might be blown up by HYDRA Agents any day.
Therefore, Nick Fury changed the headquarters to the invisible Helicarrier. After all, the Helicarrier can fly over the sea or at high altitudes, and its position is not fixed, so HYDRA cannot lock onto it.
"This is the intelligence on HYDRA provided by Li Chuan. After preliminary investigation, it is largely accurate. Next is the arrangement of the operation, which will be led by Captain Rogers.
I hope this operation can make HYDRA disappear from this World completely!"
Nick Fury finalized the intelligence provided by Li Chuan, then photocopied and distributed it to all current S.H.I.E.L.D. high-ranking officials.
After the meeting, he kept Captain America Steve Rogers behind and then took out a piece of intelligence that hadn't been included in the public documents, handing it to Steve.
"This is the intelligence about the Winter Soldier from Li Chuan's data. I extracted it beforehand."
"Winter Soldier."
Steve picked up the paper, quickly scanned it, and exclaimed:
"Bucky is still alive!"
Sixty-six years ago, in his battle with Red Skull, to protect New York from being destroyed by a nuclear bomb, he resolutely chose to crash the plane carrying the nuclear bomb into a glacier.
Last year, he was found and awakened from the glacier by Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D., only then realizing that everything had changed.
After several months of adaptation, learning that his old nemesis HYDRA had still not been destroyed, his strong will led him to accept Nick Fury's invitation and begin helping S.H.I.E.L.D. combat HYDRA.
Originally, everything went smoothly. Under his command and leadership, HYDRA was steadily losing ground until he encountered HYDRA's Winter Soldier during an operation.
The two fought fiercely on the overpass, almost evenly matched, but in the end, the other party managed to escape.
And now, seeing the intelligence about the Winter Soldier, he finally realized that his true identity was Bucky, his closest friend from back then. No wonder he felt that half of the other party's face looked so familiar at the time.
Bucky was his best friend since childhood. Before he was injected with the Super Soldier Serum, he was always a sickly little guy, and Bucky always came to his rescue whenever he was bullied.
Later, after he became Captain America, Bucky was also his best helper, a member of the Howling Commandos, and together they destroyed countless of Red Skull's Bases.
Finally, during an operation, he fell off a cliff, and everyone thought Bucky was dead. Unexpectedly, he was taken away by Zola's HYDRA remnants, subjected to a series of serum experiments, had his memory erased, and was brainwashed into HYDRA's most powerful assassin.
"Captain, what do you think we should do with him after we capture him?"
Nick Fury tapped the conference table with his finger.
Steve frowned, then firmly stated:
"He did kill many people, but he is also a victim. He was forced to kill people after being controlled by HYDRA. His heart must also be in great pain. I think as long as HYDRA's control over him is removed, he can recover."
Clearly, Steve chose to side with Bucky.
Nick Fury was not surprised, he just shook his head and replied:
"I agree with your view, and if he can recover, he can even join S.H.I.E.L.D. to atone for his sins. However, the more troublesome point now is that he killed Howard Stark.
If Tony finds out about this, it will be very troublesome."
If he could recruit Black Widow Natasha into S.H.I.E.L.D., then Bucky, a former member of the Howling Commandos, was naturally not an issue. In fact, he really liked this type of subordinate.
Because they would work doubly hard to complete S.H.I.E.L.D.'s missions out of atonement and guilt.
Moreover, the Winter Soldier's strength is evident to all. After recruiting him into S.H.I.E.L.D., he would have another trump card.
However, the troublesome part is that Bucky killed Howard Stark while under HYDRA's control, which will be very difficult to explain to Tony, and this kind of thing cannot be kept secret.
These files were given by Li Chuan, and Li Chuan and Tony are good friends.
So the most important thing now is how to appease Tony's anger, and this kind of thing is not easy to talk about, after all, Bucky did kill Tony's father.
