Chapter 262. Boarding the Ship

"Tell the police..."

Inside SHIELD, Fury frowned, about to issue an order.

"We can't wait any longer."

Alexander Pierce, dressed in a suit, walked in and said, "Representatives from both parties have expressed their opinions to the Security Council, demanding that we must resolve the issue of the so-called 'ghost ship'."

Alexander's eyes scanned the screen, and a strange look flashed across them. However, he quickly suppressed it and continued, "We don't have much time left."

"But we know nothing about this 'ghost ship' that appeared in the harbor." Turning to Alexander Pierce, who appeared in the command center, Fury spoke in a solemn tone. The previous battle caused by the Tesseract was still vivid in his mind. Faced with this unknown situation, Fury had to be cautious.

"So, we need to send people to investigate."

Looking down at Fury's one eye, Alexander whispered.

"No, I disagree." Fury resolutely rejected Alexander's proposal and said, "It's a complete suicide mission. We have no idea what's on that ship."

"That's just your hypothesis. Maybe there's nothing on the ship."

"You should know, Pierce. This is not just a guess." Looking at Alexander in front of him with his one eye, Fury said each word carefully, "Any rash decisions could trigger a disaster that no one can anticipate right now."

"Ah~"

Facing Nick Fury's resolute attitude, Alexander helplessly sighed.

"Sorry, Nick."

"What?!"

Alexander's response made Nick Fury's heart skip a beat. In the next second, he heard Natasha's report could be heard in his ear, "Director, we have a problem."

As he turned his head, he saw on the control room's screen a large group of heavily armed and equipped SHILED agents gathering at the port.

"I have to do this, the Council has given their orders," Alexander replied apologetically to Fury's angry gaze.

"Tony's right, those Councilmen are a bunch of idiots," Fury replied.

"I know, but unfortunately, those idiots are our bosses."

...

"You should all be clear about the task at hand."

At the New York Bay, at the port.

Brock Rumlow looked at the team in front of him, his expression serious.

On the surface, he was sent as part of SHILED's rapid response special forces to carry out the task, but in reality, Rumlow himself was one of the Hydra spies lurking within SHILED.

Hydra had a strong interest in the power of the 'ghost ship' that appeared in the port, and they intended to make contact and, if necessary, take control of it through this mission.

"Understood!"

With a resounding voice, the members of the quick response team responded, most of whom had been brainwashed by Hydra. Their minds were filled with the slogan 'Hail Hydra,' and even if they were sent on the most dangerous mission, they wouldn't even blink.

"Alright, let's move out."

With that, Rumlow nodded in satisfaction, and led the quick response team onto a boat.

They knew from the previous drone experiment that using a helicopter to land on the 'ghost ship' was not a suitable option, so the quick response team had to use the boat to approach the three-masted ship and then climb aboard using ropes.

"Director, they've already started moving," a voice reported.

"I see that." Inside SHILED, Fury watched the swift movements of Rumlow and the others with a cold expression.

At this point, he was still unaware of Rumlow's identity as a Hydra member, so he viewed him as an excellent soldier of SHILED. "If any members of the team get injured, I won't be as easy to talk to as I am now, Alexander."

"I understand that quite well, Nick."

Pierce said, even though they each had different stances, he also hoped that the mission of the team would be successful.

Of course, it was as a mission for Hydra.

.....

On board the boat, Rumlow gently raised his hand. In the next instant, the members of the team quickly shot their grappling hooks onto the railing of the three-masted ship.

They reached out and pulled the rope with force. After feeling it was secure, the team members began climbing towards the ship with no hesitation.

In no time, they had already reached the deck of the ship, and a strong smell of sea hit their faces as soon as they boarded.

Rumlow frowned, holding his submachine gun and scanning everything on the deck with vigilance.

Just like the exterior, the environment inside the three-masted ship was also quite dilapidated, with a deck full of pits, broken sails, giving people a damp and decaying feeling when stepping on it.

'Can such a ship really float?' The thought flashed through his mind as Rumlow reported with a lowered head.

"Report... we... have... boarded ... the ship..."

Limited by some trick of the ship, Rumlow's message was intermittent and difficult to understand.

"Now, we... start... from... the top..."

From the content conveyed by the team, Fury inferred that they had begun the search.

"React team, safety first."

"Understood, Sir..."

Frowning at the reminder from SHIELD, Rumlow slightly nodded and began making hand gestures to direct the team members to search the deck of the ship.

"It doesn't look like there's anything strange here?"

Walking over the deck with his submachine gun in hand, Rumlow's brow furrowed. The scene on the ship was very different from what he had expected. The entire ship appeared to be devoid of people, and it was completely unmanned.

'Can an unmanned ship block the largest port in New York, the New York Bay?!'

Rumlow didn't believe it was possible.

'There must be some secrets on this ship that we didn't know about.'

However, Rumlow clearly didn't anticipate that this so-called secret would soon find the Rapid Response Team.

"Damn it... I saw... it looked like... "

"Shoot... shoot..."

"Ahh... Ah... There's really a creature on this ship!"

"Monster... Mon...."
