Chapter 36: The Helicarrier
"Hey, where are you going?"
Nick Fury put his hands behind his back and turned his head to look at Neil, who was walking towards the S.H.I.E.L.D. gate.
"Aren't you going to the tarmac?"
Neil asked, taking out a lemon from the space bracelet, and with a slight break of his fingers, he shaved off the head of the lemon, revealing the flesh inside, and ate it deliciously.
He finally knew how to peel this fruit called lemon, he didn't know how to eat it before, so he crushed it into juice and drank it, and after eating the pulp yesterday, he now felt that he had completely fallen in love with this sour and greasy, evocative taste.
When Nick Fury saw Neil's appearance, he suddenly laughed and asked with a smile that wasn't obvious, "Do you like the food of the earth very much?" ”
Neil nodded, this was the third time he had been asked, he did like lemons as a fruit.
"It's good, I'll have someone bring you more good quality lemons when I have time."
"Thank you."
Neil pouted, Coulson had also told him, but he hadn't done anything so far, probably because he was too busy with work to forget, so he asked Fiz to help him loot all the lemons in S.H.I.E.L.D.
A large pile of lemons in the storage space should be enough for him for a while now.
Nick Fury looked squarely, looked at the big iron gate in the distance, and said to Neil: "Let's go, this time we will go over in the big guy, Ultron is not a small trouble, there may be civilians involved in the battle, we have to bring them out intact." ”
Then he led Neil briskly towards the large iron gate of the repair factory.
Helicarrier.
Around the ship, the maintenance workers have begun to slowly remove, except for some necessary parts that are still being urgently repaired, all the engines have been completely repaired, at least there is no problem with the load to take off.
The large robotic arm above the factory is putting one floating landing pod after another into the exit hatch of the Helicarrier in case an unexpected situation requires emergency use.
The last time Neil was here, he only glanced twice, and then was called away by Agent May.
This time, he ran to the top of the behemoth himself, feeling the mixture of metal and steel, and Neil suddenly felt a feeling of blood boiling.
This sense of technology in heavy industry seems to have brought him back to the time when he fought against Antun before.
At that time, all the people stood on the deck of the Celestial Noble, watching the Heavenly Armor, which was four thousand meters tall and the top turtle shell on its back had entered the clouds, burst out with a roaring roar under the magic bombardment and artillery fire in the sky.
Countless warriors swarmed up, directly bursting Antoun's heart, and then Antoun slowly fell into the deep sea, setting off a tsunami that swept in all directions.
It was a time full of blood and passion, and the memories of the past were so beautiful.
Neil froze in place with some nostalgia, his eyes misty and smiling.
Suddenly, the factory's roof opened a hole and spread rapidly to both sides, until the huge skylight allowed the two Helicarriers to fly out side by side.
The workers quickly evacuated until all the ant-like figures on the ground disappeared, and the Helicarrier suddenly let out a loud roar.
Airplanes!!!
The four anti-gravity devices ignited instantly, and the air wave set off all the dust and ash on the factory floor to the side, and a construction vehicle relatively close to the mothership was suddenly blown down.
"Hey, young man over there, come here, the mothership is about to take off!"
A swarthy black man stood at the elevator door on deck, waving at Neil and shouting.
Neil smiled and walked over with what seemed to be a slow pace, but it was actually a fast speed, "Aren't you on the deck too?" ”
The black man gave Neil a strange look, as if he was looking at an alien.
"Don't look, I'm an alien and don't know you." Neil said with a smirk.
The black man sighed helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and nodded: "Okay, then you go in quickly, after a while, the air flow on the deck will be very large, and you will be swept away." ”
"What about you?"
"I need to guard the deck, the Helicarrier's fire systems have not been repaired yet, and this emergency mobilization has only repaired all the engines and necessary equipment systems."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black and white steel armor suddenly descended from the sky, and a small six-barreled machine gun was mounted on his shoulder.
The armor instantly covered the black man who had just spoken, and then wrapped his whole body, his hands were stretched down, spewing thick flames, and in the blink of an eye, he flew directly above the deck, wandering and patrolling the sky, like a guide drone.
This black man is James Rod, a colonel in the United States Air Force, and a good friend of Iron Man Tony Stark, a member of the Avengers.
This set of armor is called a war machine, and as the name suggests, the armor has a terrifying number of weapons, and it is a warframe that only exists for killing deterrence.
And his user, Colonel Rhodes, is a brilliant superhero.
His heroic career is remarkable, without any stain of black history at all, and he is an avenger, although not extremely good, but very conscientious.
However, in reality, Rhodes is different from Iron Man in that Rhodes is a soldier first and a superhero second.
Therefore, more often, Rhodes will pay more attention to the arrangements of his superiors, obey the command of the military, and only become an avenger in the face of crises.
And when some of the world's forgotten victims need a kind of help that only a soldier can provide, Rhodes puts on his armor and reveals the strength and responsibility that an entire army can have.
"He seems to think of you as a new recruit who has just entered S.H.I.E.L.D. and is not yet sensible."
Neil turned his head to see a female agent wearing headphones and a ponytail in the elevator.
"Hello, I'm Hill, Chief Fury asked me to come to you, but I didn't expect you to run to the deck." Ciel held out a hand, shook it with Neil, and said with a smile.
She is an eighth-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., the same level as Coulson before he became a leader, and is directly under Fury's leadership, mainly responsible for the Avengers' related work on a daily basis.
So for this colleague who may be in the future, and Neal who may also play an important position in the Avengers, she still attaches more importance to Neil, Neil's ability is indeed terrifying, and it can be compared to Thor in the Battle of New York.
"Hello, Neil." Neil introduced himself.
"Let's go down quickly, it's not very suitable for people in a while, and it's going to be very uncomfortable on deck." Hill said with a smile.
Neil shook his head, he didn't really want to be around Nick Fury's annoying boiled egg, which made him feel the smell of gunpowder in the air.
"No, the air is fresh on deck, and I'm safe here."
Neil said, gesturing at the heavenly war machine.
"And aren't you lacking firepower? I'll guard the deck, and I'll be safer than anyone, including your own. ”
