Chapter 438 Marshal Washington
While things were going terribly wrong in New York, Captain America's Iron Man suit team had broken through the blockade and arrived in Washington.
"What should we do, Captain?"
From afar, the group saw a large stage erected in an open space in Washington, D.C. A politician who loved excitement was taking credit for an insight project that he didn't quite understand, spouting off, "Security~ Security~ Everyone's talking about security~ Security is the most important thing—I've always said that security is always the first priority."
This insight project will bring us the security we want.
Even as the chairman of the World Security Council and the superior of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce had to sit obediently in the corner and wait for the other party to complete his procedures.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is theoretically a global organization, in practice it depends on whether it receives funding in US dollars or euros, and whoever provides the funding is responsible to it.
"The opposition claimed they were doing something—did you see anything? No! There were absolutely no results."
The blond-haired president stood on the podium, gesturing wildly with his hands, playing his non-existent air accordion, attacking his predecessor, and boasting about his fictitious achievements: "We don't do that. We get to work right away, we take action immediately! I've said before—we'll take back the peace and restore the streets to the good people—not the bad people!"
The incessant speech made the already lengthy press conference even longer and more agonizing. Pierce, who had covered up the signs of infection with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s disguise technology, watched the other party's performance with an air of nonchalance, while his subordinates were not so patient.
"I can't stand this stupid 'whoosh' anymore."
Agent Sitwell leaned closer, his voice laced with barely suppressed hunger. Having just eaten meat, he was already tormented by cravings again: "When do we begin our operation?"
Moreover, after being infected with the zombie virus, his body was gradually rotting, and even S.H.I.E.L.D.'s advanced disguise technology could no longer cover up the stench emanating from him. If they didn't take action soon, they would really be exposed.
"Action? We've already started taking action!"
Alexander Pierce looked at Silvette with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot: "Are you starving? Do you expect us to give him a big red button so he can press it to launch the space carrier?"
The president on stage can do whatever he wants, he can say whatever he wants, it won't interfere with Hydra's work behind the scenes.
Their main purpose was simply to gather together so that they could be easily wiped out when the Insight Plan was launched, allowing Hydra's plan to be implemented more smoothly.
Although there is no time to conduct more detailed research, those infected with the zombie virus are still able to retain some of their consciousness from before they were alive. Once the three space carriers take off and start spreading the virus, this will also be a major screening process.
Those who fail the selection process become living beings controlled by Hydra's remote sensing devices, while those who pass the selection process become a superior race in the new world, ruling over the remaining living and undead.
Boom!
Just as the president on the stage was torturing the nerves of all the Hydra members present with his repetitive and tedious remarks, and the meeting was reaching its most boring part, a blue figure descended from the sky: "Mr. President! It is I, Steve Rogers."
Captain America, completely encased in his Iron Man suit, tucked his shield behind his back. Before security personnel could even rush onto the stage, their shouts were drowned out by the cheers of the audience: "OMG~ It's Captain America!"
It's only because of the name "Steve Rogers" that he has such an aura. If anyone else had jumped on the stage like that, they would probably have been shot twice in the first place.
The president, a seasoned politician, instantly regained control of the situation, his instincts honed under the spotlight. He first nodded to signal the security personnel to step back, then pointed in Captain America's direction: "That's right, it's him! We're very close, yes, you heard me right, our relationship is closer than you can believe!"
He only recently learned that Captain America had been discovered, and the only connection between him and Captain America is that their titles both have "America" in them.
The cheers from the crowd grew even more frenzied, which Captain America witnessed with utter concern.
"It's an emergency, Mr. President! There's a problem within S.H.I.E.L.D., and you must immediately halt the entire Insight Project!"
Previously, Captain America knew that Project Insight was a meticulously crafted ultimate plan by Hydra, which had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D., in order to eliminate dissidents and seize control of the world.
But now the situation has become something no one could have imagined. Who knows what will happen after Project Insight is launched!
Putting aside the distant future, just considering the large number of people gathered here, if Hydra were to prepare methods for remotely releasing the virus, just like in New York, then they would all be doomed!
As for Captain America's words, the President, still on the podium, naturally didn't hear a word. He held the microphone in his hand and relayed a completely different version to the audience: "Yes, Captain America is a true patriot. No one understands patriotism better than me, but he's different, and he said he respects me a lot~ and I respect him a lot too~ Our relationship is incredibly good~"
In fact, the President heard Captain America's words clearly, but he felt that such a question could be discussed later.
What normal person would have the courage to halt the entire project based solely on the one-sided account of an old popsicle that was recently unearthed?
Moreover, he is Captain America, not the President of the United States. The Insight Project costs hundreds of billions of dollars. How can it be stopped just because of his nonsense?
"Mr. President!"
Seeing the President still clutching the microphone and playing the accordion in the air, Captain America wanted to struggle a little longer, but the AI built into his Iron Man suit had already scanned Alexander Pierce, who was also present, along with some of his henchmen.
In the sensor's thermal imaging system, these people's body temperature was even several degrees higher than that of ordinary people around them, which may be one of the side effects of the zombie virus.
In other words, the Iron Man suit maintained maximum isolation from the outside world. Otherwise, with Captain America's enhanced senses, even though he was hundreds of meters away from those Hydras, he should have been able to smell the stench of the zombies on those people.
After much deliberation, and seeing that the Hydra agents were about to make their move, Captain America pulled his shield from his back and unleashed a powerful blow towards the Hydra's seats: "Watch closely!"
The rapidly spinning vibranium shield clanged and bounced three times, knocking down all of Pierce's henchmen.
After catching the rebounding shield mid-air, Captain America stepped forward and punched Pierce in the face covered by bionic skin.
Upon detecting the opponent's disguise, Captain America's armor glove released a slight electric current, overloading the small technological skin and forcing Alexander to reveal his bloody true face.
"Yay!"
From the clouds, Luke Cage, also clad in his Iron Man suit, observed the changing situation and finally ended his mission as a reserve player. He too descended from the sky in a superhero-like landing: "It should have ended a long time ago!"
