Speculation

"Marvel's Magnetic Field Rotation"

Nick Fury was not at all surprised by the image of the United States described by Wei Xiuming; he understood the country's filth far better than anyone else.

Thanksgiving was created by the first settlers of the American Continent to thank the Native Americans who helped them. Those exiled convicts rarely survived their first winter, and it was the Native Americans who taught them to fish, hunt, and farm—and in return, they gave blankets used by smallpox patients, allowing a virus more powerful than bullets to kill countless natives of this land.

Then, in order to obtain wealth and land, those European immigrants carried out large-scale Carnage and plunder of the Native Americans. In the 18th century, the backward productivity still produced more than 30 million Native Americans, only a small part of whom lived on "reservations". Moreover, they were slandered in literary works as crude savages. It was the European immigrants who brought "God" and "civilization" to them.

Afterwards, the US continued to use this weapon with great enthusiasm. The number of virus laboratories built by the United States for military purposes is unknown, and many of them are located overseas. If a "leak" occurs in those laboratories, according to the secrecy regulations, the news cannot be announced to the outside world before the approval of the United States high command. At that time, these laboratories become sources of infection.

The widely publicized Boston Tea Party was in reality nothing more than a tax refusal. Those involved in the event didn't even dare to show their true faces, but instead disguised themselves as Native Americans.

It can be said that everything the United States has done in the more than two hundred years since its founding has been sinful. It has done things that have never happened in human history, things that only exist in imagination, and things that people dare not even imagine. If there really is a heaven and a hell, everyone living on this land would go to hell, because even Jesus could not bear this original sin.

For example, in the more than two centuries since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the United States has had very few periods without war. A group of countries built by criminals through plunder and war profiteering lack the essential qualities of a great power. They rely solely on force and military strength to intimidate other countries and on plunder to maintain their own prosperity.

But that wasn't Nick Fury's focus. He looked at Wei Xiuming and asked, "In the history of your world, is Hydra truly nonexistent?"

Nick Fury then briefly described the information he had about Hydra, such as its love-hate relationship with the Third Reich, how it grew stronger with the help of Mustache, and how it eventually broke away from him to become a large, independent organization.

"If it's a mythical monster called the Hydra, then yes, there is one. It's a monster whose heads can regenerate after being cut off. The great hero Hercules, a demigod, used his technique called the Hundred-Headed Shooter to cut off all its heads in an instant, and that's when it was truly killed," Wei Xiuming said. "But an evil organization that cooperated with the National Workers' Party and then betrayed it, that's definitely not one... We only have SHOCKER there... Hmm?"

Wei Xiuming feigned self-doubt, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said, "SHOCKER has a history-editing machine. It's an organization formed by inheriting the legacy of the Third Reich, and it certainly won't tolerate the existence of traitors. It can easily achieve its goals by modifying certain events—such as eliminating traitors."

"They're a bunch of crazy guys who don't care about time paradoxes at all... Of course, that's just my deduction."

After listening to Wei Xiuming's speculation, Nick Fury remained silent, silently pondering something. After a long while, he slowly said, "Is it possible that Hydra's influence has already taken control of your world, then completely and perfectly concealed themselves, eliminating all records and information unfavorable to them, and that the heroes' activities are all under their control, and that they have artificially created an organization called SHOCKER as a target... just like our Conglomerate B?"

Wei Xiuming looked surprised, but Nick Fury's next words shocked him so much that he was speechless. "Do you remember the example used in the Ultimate Nullifier series, which had eighteen sequels? Skynet sent Ultimate Nullifier robots through time to hunt down the mother of the rebel leader, ostensibly to save themselves from future defeats, but in reality, they were sending advanced CPU materials and programming technology into the past to trigger their own birth."

"Why did people from your era, knowing it would create a time paradox, still send you from the Afterlife to the present?"

Wei Xiuming tentatively asked with self-doubt, "Could I be the first in the world... to mix up my lines...? Is my purpose in life just like that Ultimate Nullifier robot T-800, bringing a device carrying crucial information to the present to help Hydra rule the world?"

People need to provide evidence when they speak. If I really did create the Boon-type virus, your words would definitely trigger my gaming addiction.

"We now know that Hydra is operating under the guise of S.H.I.E.L.D.., and you provided us with samples such as hair to prove your genetically modified identity. These samples may contain information that only Hydra can decipher—for example, using your genes as a sample to create Super Soldier." Nick Fury didn't completely rule out the possibility of this, so as not to provoke Wei Xiuming. Instead, he said, "It's just a possibility."

His explanations were so weak and feeble, as if he were convinced that his guess was true.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was extremely awkward, and even Wei Xiuming, who wanted to trick Hydra, couldn't find a way to continue the conversation.

Just like comedians don't want to find jokes about their own relatives, Yu Qian and his family are a good substitute. Wei Xiuming broke the ice by using the village chief of the newbie village as a topic. "Why haven't I seen Agent Coulson lately? Is he still not better and off on another mission?"

"I sent him to the Arctic to find a penguin and bring it back," Nick Fury said expressionlessly.

"The Arctic? Penguins? You must be kidding me."

As we all know, penguins live in Antarctica, and even though they can be found near the equator, they would never appear in the Arctic—because the Europeans, who are most adept at genocide, set their sights there long ago.

The great auk, the dodo, the moa, and others serve as cautionary tales.

"Wait a minute, the penguin you're talking about isn't the person I'm thinking of, is it?" Wei Xiuming said.

Nick Fury nodded and said, "The Avengers need a moral exemplar as their backbone, and he's the most suitable person for that role... Not long ago, a research vessel discovered a crashed World War II-era plane under the Arctic ice, suspected to be the Captain America was in during his final battle with Red Skull... Then the scientists on that ship discovered a person inside, who, although frozen for nearly seventy years, still retained the most basic Life Force."

This information, along with the specific coordinates, was provided by Coulson from a parallel universe. Nick Fury used certain pieces to change the course of a research vessel, and then, as expected, discovered him.

Wei Xiuming let out a long breath and slowly uttered the name: "Captain America."
