Chapter 17: The Hunt for Ultron
"How many lemons did you take and hide in your clothes?"
"Huh?"
In the face of Coulson's question, Neil lifted his clothes, revealing a lemon left inside: "It's just four, I can't put it down, in fact, I want to take a little more, this fruit is really good." ”
Coulson smiled and shook his head: "If you like it very much, I will let people buy more and come back." ”
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Coulson turned to leave, and May and Neil behind him quickly followed.
......
Originally, S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't want to get involved in the Ultron incident, they had too many things!
Inhumans, superpowers, Hydra invasions, countless careerists who engage in small actions, and Neil, who has just arrived on Earth and is listed as the highest priority because of the extremely high energy that erupts through the crossing.
Before all this is dealt with, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Ultron can't fight together, and that's a problem for the Avengers.
It's a pity that Ultron killed an entire well-trained armed squad of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is quite a feud in a situation where every S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is a treasure.
Although with the current living force of S.H.I.E.L.D., it may not be able to defeat Ultron, but assisting the Avengers to harass Ultron is something that Coulson likes to see.
On the tarmac outside the base.
"Neil, are you sure you want to go along?" The sun in this season is very poisonous, and Coulson's eyes are almost unable to open in the hot sun, so he can only ask with empty eyes.
Neil reached for his brown trench coat that had been repaired, and his eyes were filled with a violent gaze, but at the same time he said in an extremely flat tone, "You know, Ultron must die, and I will kill him with my own hands." ”
"But your injuries only recovered today." Coulson was a little worried.
Neil shook his head: "I know my injuries better than anyone else, but Ultron doesn't always find them, I understand the power of mechanical lifeforms, in this place with a network, it is more lethal and destructive than those intelligent machines of Arad." ”
"You guys must want to kill it, right? I'll help you. ”
Seeing that Neil was so persistent, Coulson thought about it for a while, he believed that Neil had not lied to him and would not do anything other than deal with Ultron.
And when Neil fights with Ultron, they can not only clearly analyze Neil's true combat power, but also understand what kind of person Neal is in his heart.
He believed that when Neil brought back Ultron's metal body in its entirety, there would be no one in S.H.I.E.L.D. who would wonder if Neil was harmful to humans.
"It's his idea, it's not bad for us, it's good for everyone, you can let him try." Mei also interjected on the side.
When Coulson heard this, he nodded and agreed to Neil's idea of going to Africa with the armed team he had sent.
"Okay then, but if you meet the Avengers, you'll have to hide the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D. and me from them, just tell them that you're Director Fury's men, especially Tony."
Neil responded with a smile, "I know, you gave me some S.H.I.E.L.D. information on my computer. I saw that you deliberately faked your death in order to unite the Avengers, and I won't let the Avengers know. ”
He immediately turned around and got on the plane with the armed men.
"That's not fake death...... Coulson muttered with some sigh as he looked at Neil's back as he left.
"I'll go with him!" Mei suddenly said next to her.
"What? No, no! Coulson didn't hesitate to refuse.
May didn't listen to Coulson's order, and while changing into armed clothes by herself, she said: "An alien who has just arrived on Earth, and he has learned all the common sense in two days, do you think it is possible?" He's going to need my help. ”
Coulson put on a straight face and said in a serious tone: "No, I think you just want to spy on him, in terms of strength, you have read all his information, I don't think he will be in any danger." ”
"S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to make a comprehensive plan and prepare intelligence for any uncontrollable factors! Whatever Neil thought, I followed, and even if he wanted to escape, someone would know which direction he was going. ”
"This kind of thing, just leave it to the agents who go with you, you don't have to go with it. What's more, when you're gone, who will help me with the chores? There are so many things that I can't do alone. ”
Coulson took out a device, and the recent troubles of S.H.I.E.L.D. were instantly projected on it, densely packed with a lot.
Mei shrugged her shoulders and said in a slightly smiling tone, "I believe that someone will help you deal with these things, and they will handle it better than me." Remember, I'm not a logistician in the first place, I'm more used to solving problems with guns and fists in front of everyone. ”
After saying that, despite Coulson's objections, he stepped straight onto the plane.
The Kun fighter took off quickly, and the air waves that set off blew all the surrounding sand and rocks away.
Looking at the little dot in the distance, Coulson reached out to cover his eyes, watching the sky twist into an arc as the hot sunlight illuminated it.
"This hell weather, it's really getting hotter and hotter, who thought of building the base here in the first place? This season, the temperature of the island in the center of the sea can really roast people directly. ”
Coulson shook his head as he turned and walked back to base.
He felt that his chief was becoming less and less leaderful, his subordinates were disobedient, and the agents did not respect him...... I don't know when I'll be able to have the momentum of Director Fury......
......
Quint fighter plane.
May and Neil stand side by side in front of a weapons case that contains all the top-tier firearms in the world.
"Is there an energy weapon?" Neil asked.
Mei shook her head: "We have studied energy weapons, but those weapons are too energy-consuming to continue fighting, and now they are more likely to use gunpowder weapons made of bullets." ”
Neil picked and chose in the box at random, the gunpowder weapon was not very easy to accommodate the blessing of magic before it was inscribed with a special magic rune, and when he was hunted by the osprey team before, he attached magic power and elements, and only one shot exhausted the only remaining magic power in his body.
The kinetic energy bullets of gunpowder are extremely inefficient in the application of mana.
"Where's this?" Neil searched for a long time, found a pair of huge revolvers in the box, held them in the palm of his hand, and a trace of nostalgia rose in Neil's heart.
He hadn't used a gunpowder gun for a long time, and the last time he used it, he was following his master in an outlaw place to survive.
May glanced at it and opened her mouth to report a series of names and proper nouns: "Pffaifer-Zeliska 600, this is the most powerful kinetic pistol on the planet, are you going to use it?" The recoil of this thing is not small, and it is almost called a small hand cannon. ”
Neil nodded, this kind of Big Mac is just right for him.
