Chapter 355: Aftermath

With his legs slightly bent, he jumped down from a tree more than 20 meters high, stepped on the ground with thick black boots, smashed deep footprints, and walked forward to this suspected explosion site.

The closer you get to this huge pit, the less greenery there is beside you, and the burnt ashes of the grass and trees on the ground under your feet almost cover the ground, and you can vaguely see the grass struggling to rise in the ashes, which is in stark contrast to the lush grass and trees behind you.

The closer you go, the more bricks and cement fragments there are in the dirt under your feet, and the closer you get to the pit, the more such building fragments and the larger they become, but the biggest is just a football; It wasn't until I walked to the edge of the pit that I saw a large amount of construction waste thrown at the bottom of the pit.

Greer casually picked up a piece of gravel and threw it to the bottom of the pit, there was no need to look at it anymore, obviously this place had been simply cleaned up, there may be some missing experimental evidence in a corner, but it was definitely not something that Grell could find, one had no relevant experience, two had no professional equipment, if he could find out DNA or something, then the professionals would have been collectively unemployed.

Although no evidence could be found, it did not mean that there was no gain, and Greer was now sure that desperate soldiers existed, otherwise how could so many construction pieces weighing several tons be thrown into this big pit without construction machinery.

And this big pit, and the building that was razed to the ground, no demolition company would use so much explosives so extravagantly, I am afraid that this was one of the experimental sites for the desperate virus, but

Grell turned his head to look at the charred earth around him, the power of this explosion was really terrifying, not only razing an area comparable to a football field, but also blowing up such a large crater, the battleship's main guns were no more powerful than that.

After a busy night's work, there was nothing to gain except for an accurate guess, which made Grell feel helpless, if he could restore the scene, he would definitely be able to get more clues and information.

By the way, it seems that there is a scene restoration technology called BARF, and Stark also asked Jarvis to restore the explosion scene that happened in front of the theater, and in the S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series, the science duo Fitz also engaged in a similar restoration technology.

It seems that it is necessary to find Dr. Ben Turner to learn about this knowledge, and it is best to get the relevant equipment, so that in case you find the next place that is blown up, you will not be at a loss as you are now.

Touching his flat stomach, Greer decisively chose to evacuate temporarily, go back to have breakfast and rest first, and then continue his detective journey, sleepy and hungry, how can he have the spirit and strength to do things.

The space door opened in the void quickly closed, making this mountain forest quiet again, but after ten minutes, there was a dull roar of the engine from the air, and the sound became louder and louder, the grass and trees on the ground were blown by the strong air current, and a large amount of dust was raised, vaguely outlining the outline of a fighter plane.

After the roar stopped, the air suddenly rippled, and a Kun fighter plane moored on the grass appeared out of nowhere, and before the cabin door was fully opened, Melinda May and Grant Ward of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents jumped out of the cabin with their pistols in hand, the muzzle of the gun pointed vigilantly forward.

After looking around, the two of them issued a safety command, and Fitz walked out of the Kun fighter with a large backpack on his back, looked down at the tablet in his hand, and his right hand moved quickly on the screen, and said without raising his head: "That's right, the location of the unknown energy that has appeared many times is here." ”

"Finally found it." Grant Ward strode forward, pistol warily looking around, ready to fire the frozen bullet and hit the target.

"But we should be late, everything is ruined." May's cold voice came from the headset, and when Ward and Fitz came to May's location, they immediately understood why she said that, the charred earth and the huge crater, silently telling what had happened here.

The three of them quickly walked to the edge of the pit, Fitz released his drone swarm and began to survey the scene, while May and Ward scattered to guard the surroundings, the drone swarm quickly completed the preliminary survey work, and the three of them did not stop and left the place immediately.

When the Quint returned home, Fitz sat in the seat of the cabin, busy processing the data collected by the drone, collating it into a report and submitting it to his boss, Phil Coulson. This mission was not ordered by S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, but Fiz coincidentally discovered a never-before-seen energy waveform, and it appeared every once in a while, for a short time.

With the help of S.H.I.E.L.D. satellites, it was not easy to determine the approximate location, and only then did the three of them take action, but apart from the big pit and the charred black earth, nothing was found. But Fitz didn't think so, and sorted out the data collected by the drone swarm and projected it on the holographic projection screen of the mobile headquarters bus in the air.

The first thing shown is the stone at the bottom of the pit, and Fitz analyzed the structure of the stone and the stained earth chips in detail, and came to the conclusion that it was the wall of the building, and that it was not originally at the bottom of the pit, but was thrown into it, and found a depression near the pit that matched the edges and corners of the building fragments.

Based on the depth of the pit, the hardness of the soil, and the angle of inclination, Fitz concluded that the building debris was given a high velocity when it hit the ground; Soil samples from the pit wall and soil samples and plant analysis at different distances and locations around the pit showed that there had been thousands of degrees of high temperatures

The results of both Fitz and Simmons' analyses support the conclusion that there was an explosion equivalent to 800 kilograms of TNT. But what is puzzling is that the shock wave from the explosion has only a third of the estimated range.

"So I don't think it's the bomb exploded, and I found something else incredible," Fitz said, tapping on the screen to project the footprints found by the drone swarm at the scene, "The construction debris filled half of the pit, but I found no traces of construction machinery tires or tracks at the scene, only some footprints." Based on the depth and area thrust back force, it took two Laura (Coulson's vintage car) to catch up with his weight. ”

"You're saying that the tons of cement were thrown in?" Grant Ward looked surprised, spread his hands and said, "Could it be that one day the captain passed by there and saw a big hole, so he lifted those cement blocks to fill the hole?" ”

"Maybe the Hulk." Simmons interjected.

"I don't know, but I know this line of footprints is new." Fitz said as he projected a picture of the scene, and marked a line of footprints from the forest to the edge of the pit with an aperture, and said, "Judging by the degree of water loss from the broken grass stalks, the other party left eight to twelve minutes before we came." ”

Coulson, who had been listening to the report in silence, then spoke: "That abnormal energy waveform?" ”

"I don't think it's a coincidence." Fitz voiced his opinion: "The explosion there was much more powerful than TNT, most likely an alien weapon, and a 'man' comparable to the captain, sir, I feel the need to investigate." ”

"Hmm!" Coulson nodded, looked at the screen again, and said, "I'll report this to HQ until new orders come down, Fitz, you continue to follow up and investigate." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Coulson immediately walked to his room, compiled what he found into a report, and sent it to the S.H.I.E.L.D. operations headquarters, the hub, and ten minutes later, a message was mixed with a variety of signals from S.H.I.E.L.D. and transmitted to a computer hidden in a closet in an ordinary residential building.

It wasn't until about five o'clock in the afternoon that the owner of the house climbed into his broken pickup truck in a shabby coat and a cigarette, drove slowly down the street, turned a few corners and stopped at the door with the AIM sign, and within two minutes a luxury car drove out of the garage exit of AIM, and the pickup truck immediately started and drove forward.

The two very different cars staggered by, not stopping for even a second to find the slightest anomaly, and the pickup truck continued his cargo work, while the car that came out of AIM quickly turned around and returned to AIM after driving two streets.

Killian, who was busy working on a new experiment, received a call from his deputy, informing him of the terrible news: the people sent to clean up the ruins caused by the failed experiments had discovered that someone was investigating the ruins, and found what they thought were hidden cameras in the abandoned building of the soon-to-be-commissioned test site.

This made Killian panic, his desperate virus experiment failure rate is extremely high, other people's experiments are just a dead person, his experiment failure is to blow up the building at every turn, the biggest reason why he can continue to this day is low-key.

Every time I hired a test subject, I used a traffic accident or an accident to cause a lot of money in a different company and under a different name, and then paid a lot of money to my family, and the venue was very remote, so I got to this day.

But the god of luck seemed to stop his favor, first the experiment of the new generation of desperate virus did not go well, and all three times failed, and then the deputy notified that someone was investigating the ruins of the experimental field.

How can this not make Killian anxious, if someone finds out and exposes, he will be finished, and those who covet his wealth and business will definitely pounce on him like crazy, and maybe there will be people who have discovered the power of the Desperate Virus, kill him together, and then swallow everything he has into his stomach.

Anger and annoyance made Killian's face red, and his nose was like a chimney during his breath, spewing smoke out, and it was obvious that the desperate virus in his body had become less stable because of his emotional excitement.

But Killian quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, no matter how angry it was, the most important thing now was to clean up the aftermath. The investigator must have come from a lot of background, otherwise the deputy would not have called him, and he would have sent desperate soldiers to kill the other party a long time ago.

AIM has developed into such a large enterprise, and his deputy has made great contributions, and it is simply common to crack down on and eradicate competitors and disobedient people, and his deputy is basically responsible for it.

Since the organization investigating the ruins is very large, it can't go head-to-head with the other party, and it must be outwitted, and since the other party is sneaky, it is obviously only suspicion and no evidence, and it is likely that they do not know that they are conducting a desperate virus experiment.

Thinking of this, Killian had an idea, and said into the phone: "All experiments will no longer be settled in the experimental field, those places will be developed and transformed according to the fake plan, and everything will be cleaned up, and there must be no evidence left, whether it is a real experimental field or a fake, it must be cleaned up with AIM." ”

"What about the experiment?"

"Of course the experiment can't be stopped," Killian kept taking a deep breath, suppressing the emotions in his heart, and said, "I have my own ideas, you should handle this matter well, you must not cause people to make trouble at this time, let alone trouble, otherwise it will be bad." ”

Hung up the phone, Kiri was still full of negative emotions, these places in the wilderness are the best experimental sites, but from today onwards, I am afraid that they can no longer be used, and it is indeed an abnormal investment to buy so many non-performing assets.

But after the failure of the new generation of desperate virus experiments, it is like lighting a barrel of explosives, not in the deep mountains and old forests, in the wilderness, is it still in the city? Wait

Killian's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something, hurriedly turned on the computer, began to search, and quickly found a series of reports about the Middle East when Stark was kidnapped, and couldn't help but smile on his face, and said: "Since you can't involve yourself, let's launch a focus, so that everyone can go to see him." ”

In the office, Kirian suddenly smiled smugly, obviously excited by his idea, and applauded his wit.

Far away on the east coast, in the top office of the Osborne Group, there was no smile at all, and Harry sat with a gloomy face where his father, Norman Osborne, had sitted, and his green face was full of exhaustion.

Since taking over the Osborne Group, he has not had a good night's sleep, and he is very busy, but even so, the Osborne Group has not improved. The big bomb of the 'artificial sun' thrown out is indeed quite loud, and there are many people who are interested, but there are almost zero people who really say investment.

In this year, there are a lot of icing on the cake, almost zero in the snow, the performance of the Osborne Group during this period of time is simply extremely poor, even though the prospect of artificial sun is very broad, but before seeing the actual application value, just a concept do not want to get real money.

In the face of these lords who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, Harry who fooled people for the first time was at a loss, so he could only go all the way to the dark and invest the already small amount of liquidity of the Osborne Group, and into this ghost knows if it can succeed in the project, I just hope to see a little light to let those investors throw money in.

Just when Harry was very upset, the phone on the desk rang, and the secretary's charming voice came from the microphone: "BOSS, the Cybertech people are here and want to talk to you." ”
