Chapter 172 Bucky: Keeba, is that my name?
In short, Pierce's goal is to use Project Insight to eliminate all of Hydra's enemies and potential enemies.
From then on, Hydra had no rivals and accomplished its great feat of world domination!
It has to be said, Pierce's plan is truly terrifying.
Anyone who might hinder Hydra will be targeted for elimination; the sheer size of this target group is beyond imagination.
It's important to understand that Hydra's goal is to rule the entire world and establish a new order, surpassing even Little Mustache's ambitions. Therefore, Hydra's enemies can be said to be spread all over the globe.
Pierce's Insight Project is essentially a game of match-3 on Earth.
It's like Charles using a brainwave amplifier to wipe out all humans on Earth who could threaten mutants, leaving only those who were not powerful enough or easy to control. It's absolutely insane!
Pierce smiled slightly: "Agent Du Mu, what do you think of this plan?"
I don't think it's very good.
Du Mu squinted.
For him, Pierce's plan, if successful, would be far from a good thing.
It's obvious without even guessing that Tony and Steve would be on the list of targets for elimination.
This includes superheroes like Peter, and possibly many more superheroes who haven't even debuted yet.
If all these special NPCs die, who will he be able to trigger his future quests with?
We can't rely on Hydra and those supervillains, can we?
To date, the number of missions Du Mu has been able to trigger on Hydra and supervillains is extremely limited, and all of them combined don't even equal the number of missions he can trigger at S.H.I.E.L.D. in a week.
If the Hydra version of Project Insight actually succeeds, then the save file will be completely corrupted and the game will be unplayable.
More importantly, Du Mu was unsure whether he would also be on the removal list.
Although he was also a member of Hydra, he was still very self-aware.
Unlike other loyal Hydra members, he is only loyal to the missions assigned by the game system. As long as the mission is completed, he will not hesitate to turn his gun on Hydra.
In this way, he also seems to meet the elimination criteria of the Insight Project.
Even if the Insight Project doesn't pose much of a threat to him, it would still have some impact if his name appeared on Hydra's elimination list. What if his Hydra colleagues mistakenly thought he was a S.H.I.E.L.D. mole?
How am I supposed to survive in Hydra after this?
With this in mind, Du Mu immediately made a decision.
Pierce's Insight Plan must not be allowed to succeed!
He remained outwardly calm, praising, "Fantastic, sir! You're a real scoundrel!"
Pierce:
'
'
Are you insulting me or praising me?
"Sir, what should we do with Nick Fury?" Du Mu asked.
Pierce's eyes turned cold instantly: "Now that he has discovered our plan, he cannot be allowed to live. I will arrange for professionals to take care of him completely to ensure that he does not affect the progress of the Insight Project."
As expected, Hydra is stingy; they're even reluctant to issue missions.
Du Mu was somewhat disappointed; he had thought he would receive a mission to assassinate Nick Fury.
This made him even more determined in his mind.
In that case, we have no choice but to sell Pierce ahead of schedule.
Thanks to the tip-off from the mole Du Mu, Pierce was fully aware of Nick Fury's plan and was brimming with confidence, believing that everything was under control.
Just as Du Mu had predicted, Nick Fury soon came to him personally to discuss the postponement of the Insight Project.
Pierce agreed after only a brief hesitation, but in reality he had already secretly notified Hydra's tactical team, as well as Bucky, who had been brainwashed by Hydra into becoming the Winter Soldier, to carry out an assassination of Nick Fury.
Although it was called an assassination, it was actually a large group of people who, in broad daylight, forcibly stopped Nick Fury's car and then pulled out automatic rifles and opened fire on Nick Fury!
They're even more outrageous than terrorists!
If Nick Fury's car hadn't been made of special materials that made it bulletproof and blast-proof, he probably would have been riddled with bullets.
Despite this, Nick Fury's situation remains very bad.
The car's systems malfunctioned extensively under the continuous attack, with only the air conditioning function remaining intact, leaving Nick Fury feeling utterly disheartened.
"OMG Fuck!"
Inside the car, Nick Fury couldn't help but curse out loud.
As the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he immediately realized that this was no ordinary attack.
From the enemy's precise timing of the ambush to their firepower deployment, this was clearly a meticulously planned elimination operation.
It's very likely the work of the mastermind behind it all!
Nick Fury didn't understand at what point he had been exposed.
Clearly, besides himself, only Du Mu and Pierce knew about this. One was his trusted confidant whom he had personally promoted, and the other was his longtime friend and the former director who had promoted him to the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Could it be... that there's a mole between them?
Nick Fury felt a chill run down his spine.
Regardless of who the mole was, it was an outcome he found unacceptable.
As for the possibility that both of them were moles... impossible, absolutely impossible!
How could Nick Fury have such poor taste!
However, the current critical situation left Nick Fury no time to think; the cracks in the bulletproof glass were spreading at a visible speed, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
The vehicle's damage resistance was limited. Under the relentless barrage of bullets, its bulletproof performance was rapidly diminishing, and the vehicle's intelligent system was constantly emitting piercing alarms.
"Activate the weapon system!"
At Nick Fury's command, the machine gun unit hidden inside the vehicle popped out.
He gripped the butt of the gun, braced his shoulder against the recoil buffer, and pulled the trigger through the cracked car window at the attacker outside.
Da da da da da—!
In an instant, gunfire erupted!
The machine guns spat fire, and several militants fell to the ground one after another. The remaining attackers were forced to retreat behind cover and were suppressed by the powerful firepower.
Just then, the vehicle's intelligent system finally restarted the power system. Under the control of the intelligent system, the car shot off with a whoosh, tearing a gap in the encirclement despite the dense hail of bullets.
Nick Fury stared intently at the rearview mirror, making sure the pursuers were gradually being left behind, before finally letting out a slight sigh of relief.
However, just as he was about to enter the main road, a dark figure suddenly appeared on the road ahead.
Bucky, the Winter Soldier, stood in the middle of the road, expressionless, raising his special weapon and pulling the trigger at the oncoming car.
A metal disc was fired from the gun muzzle, gliding rapidly along the ground before precisely embedding itself under the vehicle.
Boom!!
A deafening explosion suddenly rang out!
The massive shockwave flipped the entire car over, causing it to roll several times on the road before finally coming to a stop upside down after sliding several meters.
Nick Fury was hanging upside down in the deformed cockpit, the seatbelt holding him suspended in mid-air. Warm blood kept flowing from the wound on his forehead, blurring his vision.
He tried to move his body, but found himself stuck in a twisted metal frame, with excruciating pain shooting through his left leg.
To make matters worse, through the broken car window, he saw Bucky walking steadily toward him.
Spicy!
Nick Fury's heart sank as he realized that his situation was extremely dangerous.
At this critical moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared from the side and blocked Bucky's path.
The newcomer was wearing a black mask and had shoulder-length hair. Apart from the metal arm, his appearance was exactly the same as Bucky's!
Moreover, their body shape and half of their face are similar, as if they were mirror images.
This person is none other than Du Mu, whose face has been sculpted.
He knew Pierce was going to target Nick Fury and had been prepared for it for a long time.
Nick Fury can't die. The other guy still has an unfinished long-term mission on him, and Nick Fury is his human mission generator, constantly giving him high-level missions, or even main missions.
If such a vital source of missions is cut off, it will be difficult to find a replacement in the future.
Upon seeing Du Mu, who looked exactly like him, even Bucky, the emotionless assassin machine, was stunned.
He asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Bucky, your twin brother."
Bucky:
'
'
How come I didn't know I had a twin brother?
Oh, so I have amnesia.
"Are you my twin brother?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Bucky's eyes.
Although he wasn't very clear-headed, he still possessed a certain level of intelligence.
From their appearance, they do indeed look very much like twin brothers, and the name Bucky sounds very familiar, as if he is someone very familiar to me who has been with me day and night.
Could it be that the other person is really my twin brother?
Du Mu nodded: "That's right, I'm your twin brother, and you're my younger brother, Kiba!"
"Kiba? Is that my name?"
Bucky muttered to himself, remaining motionless as if his brain had overloaded and crashed.
"Kiba, it seems you've forgotten everything."
Du Mu feigned a heartbroken expression: "Back then, we were inseparable brothers. Even if you wanted to borrow tens of millions of US dollars, I would lend it to you without hesitation, without even writing an IOU. And yet, you still haven't paid me back."
"I think your metal arm is pretty good. Since we're all brothers, give it to me, and you won't have to pay back those tens of millions of dollars."

Bucky:
'
""
What tens of millions of US dollars? I have amnesia, there's no such thing.
However, after this brief period of uncertainty, Hydra's brainwashing program regained the upper hand.
Bucky's eyes instantly returned to their previous coldness, and his voice was devoid of any warmth.
"Whoever you are, get out of my way!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed forward, his metal arm whistling through the air as he slammed it towards Nick Fury, who was trapped inside the car.
However, before the metal arm could land on Nick Fury, it was caught by Du Mu with one hand, seemingly effortlessly.
Bucky paused, the scene seeming strangely familiar to him.
Coincidentally, the target of that assassination attempt was also Nick Fury.
"Kiba, your arms are still so weak and powerless."
Du Mu's opening remarks were full of sarcasm.
Bucky didn't respond. He quickly drew his tactical dagger with his right hand and stabbed it fiercely into Du Mu's throat!
But his movements were too slow in Du Mu's eyes. With a casual flick of his wrist, the tactical dagger flew out.
Seeing the weapon slip from his grasp, Bucky immediately activated the full force of his metal arm, attempting to forcibly break free of its restraints.
The mechanical joints emitted a muffled hum, and the hydraulic system operated at full power, with enough force to overturn a car coming from the armpit.
Feeling the force coming from his hand, Du Mu couldn't help but exert force with his right hand gripping the metal arm. As a result, there was a crisp cracking sound, and the metal arm suddenly detached from Bucky's shoulder at the joint.
Du Mu simply pulled, and the entire metal arm was removed from Bucky's shoulder!
Bucky:
'
'
Du Mu:
'
'
The two looked at each other, and an awkward silence filled the air.
"Wow, this arm is so easy to remove?"
Du Mu was somewhat speechless.
He never expected that the seemingly powerful metal arm would have such a fragile connecting structure, and it was torn off with the slightest force.
Could it be that Hydra cut corners in their work?
Without his metal arm, Bucky is now like Yang Guo without his eagle.
Despite this, Bucky did not give up the fight, and with a powerful palm strike... no, a big swing punch, he aimed for Du Mu's face.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Bucky, who had thrown the punch, was sent flying.
Even when he was equipped with the metal arm, he was no match for Du Mu, let alone now that he has lost the metal arm.
Ignoring Bucky struggling on the ground, Du Mu turned and walked towards Nick Fury's overturned car. He grabbed the twisted and deformed car door with his right hand, and with a little force, tore it off, dragging the covered Nick Fury out.
"Who are you?"
Nick Fury stared at the stranger in front of him who looked remarkably like Bucky, his single eye filled with wariness.
Du Mu whispered, "It's me, sir!"
He used his original voice when he said that.
He hides a bow-tie-shaped voice changer in his black mask, and Gangchou has always been imitating Bucky's voice.
"Agent Du Mu?"
Nick Fury immediately recognized the familiar voice, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.
What surprised him was not that Du Mu could perfectly disguise himself as Bucky. S.H.I.E.L.D. already possessed various advanced disguise technologies, and given Du Mu's mysterious abilities and Dao, it was not surprising that he could do this.
What truly surprised him was that Du Mu would appear here at this crucial moment.
"it's me."
Du Mu nodded and admitted, "Sir, I came to rescue you. I just found out that someone is trying to assassinate you. I was very worried about your safety, so I quickly finished my lunch and rushed over."
Nick Fury:
That's really worrying.
Nick Fury was speechless, but his tense expression visibly eased.
Du Mu's appearance made him secretly relieved.
Since the other party was able to come to his rescue, it was enough to prove that the other party was not the traitor, and that the person who betrayed him was not Du Mu.
"Agent Du Mu, you've lived up to my trust in you!"
Nick Fury looked pleased, making no mention of how he had just doubted Du Mu's ideas.
