"The air conditioning filter exploded."
Nick Fury wiped the blood off his face, feeling extremely embarrassed about the situation.
He looked at the foul-smelling sewage floating in the drain and instinctively took out a spare filter from his pocket.
"Shit... Can this thing still be used?"
When he activated the "Only Air Conditioning Filter System Intact" epic achievement amidst the inhumane street assassination, the air conditioning system was also rendered useless.
The air conditioning filter that Oaks had given him exploded on the spot, lifting his spirits and relieving him of all the pain in his body.
Of course, the filter couldn't heal serious injuries, but as he cut a large hole to escape into the sewer, he crushed the newly arrived "life-saving device" — the small acorn.
If the gifted air conditioning filters were this powerful, the effects of spending money would indeed be extraordinary.
The dense green light quickly healed his heavy injuries.
"This money was well spent...
Captain... don't be too far."
He took out his phone, hesitated for a moment, and then headed directly towards the sewer exit.
There was no other way. The sewers in Washington didn't lead to Brooklyn.
But just as he found the exit and was about to climb out, he saw a little bird flying in.
"Shit! You sure know how to pick a spot!"
In Nick Fury's surprised gaze, the little bird transformed back into human form. Oaks pinched his nose and waved his hand in disgust, and flowers immediately bloomed under his feet, accompanied by fresh air.
"Cough... How did you find me?"
Nick Fury instinctively squeezed the other acorn in his hand and tried to put on a serious face.
"Who knows about your whereabouts?"
"Steve, he went to Brooklyn to find me. What's going on with you? Shot by a white police officer due to racial discrimination?"
Oaks glanced at the blood on Nick Fury's face and sneered.
"That's why I said, what's so great about your lousy car?"
"..."
Nick Fury felt a lump in his chest that he couldn't breathe. He took three seconds to compose himself before speaking again.
"Captain went to Brooklyn to find you?"
What was going on with this guy? How could he leak such classified information so eagerly?!
"He and Agent Carter were already living in Brooklyn."
Oaks impatiently waved his hand.
"Do you really think the shabby apartment in Washington that your S.H.I.E.L.D. arranged, with surveillance cameras stuffed in every crack of the wall, would be a happy place for them to live?
They are a super agent and a super soldier! Steve only stayed at Agent Carter's house when he returned to Washington during missions, at least there he could have some peace and quiet!"
"...In fact, since Agent Carter stopped living in Washington,"
Nick Fury spread his hands.
"We also arranged surveillance devices there."
"...You better not let Steve hear that, otherwise he'll have Matt serve you a lawyer's letter."
Seeing the annoyed and cunning look on Fury's face, Oaks really wanted to give him a furious punch and send him flying through the wall.
"Do you have a lot of free time? What's the matter? If you think you're fine the way you are and I shouldn't know so much, then I'll leave."
"Wait!"
Nick Fury put on a serious expression.
"Can I trust you, Oaks?"
"Quit the nonsense. Say what you want to say, otherwise, get lost. I've heard this line several times today!"
Oaks turned and walked away.
"I'm busy planting trees in foreign countries. You have plenty of time in the US. Take your time playing!"
"Hey hey hey!"
Nick Fury stepped forward and grabbed Oaks's arm.
"Alright, do you remember the early warning mechanism I told you about last time?"
"The 'Insight Program'?"
Oaks snorted.
"You're really regressing. Do you believe in such a program? Do you trust politicians?
It seems I need to blow up that satellite directly with Tony, and your carriers can stay underground and collect dust!"
"Wait!"
Nick Fury held Oaks again and his bald head was sweating.
"Stop it! Can this problem be solved this way? Do you want to be a fugitive for the rest of your lives?"
Before Oaks could speak again, Nick Fury took out a silver USB drive and handed it to him, his expression was more serious than ever.
"Listen, although it indeed appeared to be a white police officer who shot at me, it was an assassination on the street!
The ones who attacked were not police officers, but agents and assassins! There is a problem within S.H.I.E.L.D., and they want to eliminate me...
I don't know what will happen next, so I have a plan!"
"A problem within S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Oaks raised an eyebrow, turned around, and looked at Nick Fury with a smirk on his face.
"You are the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and even your assassination can be ordered this decisively... Who has such authority? The Council? Or..."
"I don't want to mention that name!"
Nick Fury's face was now almost expressionless.
"But when I went to see him to postpone the Insight Program through a hearing, I was attacked right after leaving...
The real Insight Program is beyond my clearance level, and that person ordered the restriction on my clearance!"
"Heh, you've met your match."
Oaks burst into laughter, feeling in high spirits.
"Aren't you the one who claims to have all the strategies and never does anything uncertain?
There's an old saying , 'You can't keep your shoes dry if you walk along the river'...
You've been playing with cats all day and still haven't learned your lesson after getting scratched, hahaha!"
"You bastard!"
Nick Fury punched the sewer wall.
"That's why I don't trust anyone! Until this matter is resolved, we must not tip our hand! I was planning to find Captain..."
"Captain has already set off."
Oaks shrugged.
"His motorcycle is too slow, so I lent him a decent means of transportation."
"Means of transportation?"
A skeptical light gleamed in Nick Fury's one eye.
"Well, I won't ask so many questions. If you can contact him, tell him to go to Carter's apartment!"
"You said you don't trust anyone, but now you're planning to reveal the plan to us?"
Oaks crossed his arms and calmly looked outside the sewer. The sun was nearing the horizon.
"...I trust Agent Carter. With her around, even though Captain is stubborn, he can be trusted!"
Nick Fury gritted his teeth.
"And Captain trusts you. Also, do you have any way to make it look like I'm dead?"
"Yes, there are several methods."
Oaks narrowed his eyes.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. should also have things like that."
"So, I need to find something more secure, a method that S.H.I.E.L.D won't be able to detect!"
Nick Fury let out a sigh.
"Also, you need to find an alibi!"
"Well, a few days ago, Sif came to Earth. Remember this, I went to Asgard with her.
But I'll need to beat you up again and inflict some serious injuries."
"..."
...
"Whoosh!"
In front of an old apartment building in Washington, a gust of wind blew, revealing Steve's figure in the shadows.
"Wow, I never expected you to have this ability!"
Steve hung up his shield and incredulously touched the giant wolf that was still in invisible mode next to him.
"The German Shepherd runs faster than a motorcycle, and it can turn invisible?"
"Have you ever seen a German Shepherd this big? I am a celestial Wolf!"
