Chapter Eighty-Nine: On the Benefits of Fishing in Troubled Waters

Just as Patch left the base, a group of people in the base command center were instantly stunned.

They weren't deaf either, and they couldn't have not heard the four deafening bangs.

"Sir, the third and fifth companies have lost contact with us." The communications soldier anxiously turned his head to look at the chief of staff and Brigadier General Orpheus, and said in a loud voice.

"Toot toot...... Toot ......"

Immediately afterwards, there was another busy sound in the headset of the communication soldier, and he hurriedly added: "The Ninth Company has also lost contact." ”

"What's going on? Didn't you tell me that you would be able to deal with those militants right away? What's going on now? Brigadier General Orpheus couldn't help but think of something bad, stood up, looked at the chief of staff and shouted angrily.

The staff officer couldn't help but break out in a pile of cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "General, don't be impatient, I'll try to contact the three pilots to understand the situation at the scene first." ”

"Then don't you hurry......" Orpheus slammed the table and shouted impatiently.

The staff officer wiped the cold sweat from his head, quickly turned around and walked towards the signal soldier, and ordered him: "You hurry up and contact the pilots and ask them what the situation is." ”

"Yes, sir." The communications soldier hurriedly fiddled with the communication equipment in front of him, and it didn't take long for the communication signal of one of the pilots to be connected.

"A01, A01, can you hear me? Report back to the scene immediately. ”

After the communications officer connected with the pilot, after saying these words, he hurriedly and carefully listened to the report conveyed by the pilot.

A few minutes passed, and after listening to the pilot's report, the communications soldier turned his head to look at the chief of staff and Brigadier General Orpheus with a drooping face, and said loudly: "Sir, according to the report of the A01 pilot, the enemy carried out a suicide bombing at the last moment at the scene of the engagement, and none of the fighters of our three companies survived, and ......"

"And what......" General Orpheus couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and asked eagerly.

The communications soldier then said: "And the secret warehouse at the core of the base has also been completely destroyed by the enemy. ”

Hearing this, Brigadier General Orpheus couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, his body suddenly collapsed, and he fell to the ground.

…………

Patch didn't care about what happened next in the U.S. military base, and he couldn't see it no matter what happened, and with the small black suitcase, Patch returned to the library of the New York Temple.

The door of the library is still closed, and the mages in the temple will basically not come here without the orders of the guardians or some special circumstances, so the library at this time seems to be extremely quiet.

A cloud of smoke suddenly rose out of thin air in the silence of the empty library, and as the smoke cleared, a figure appeared in front of the desk, and this person was undoubtedly Patch, who had just returned from the US military base with his treasure.

Placing the black suitcase on the desk, Patch reached out and opened it.

As the suitcase opened, a black diamond-shaped square half an arm's thickness was parked safely in the groove in the middle of the suitcase, without any fluctuations, and it seemed to be unremarkable.

But how could something that Patch had worked so hard to get his hands on be an ordinary thing?

At this time, Patch's expression had already shown everything, and he stared at the diamond-shaped square in the middle of the suitcase, and a trace of an indescribable smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Is this an obelisk? At that time, Hydra was the most precious item besides the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. ”

Patch chuckled and muttered in a low voice, "I just don't know how much this thing is worth." ”

The obelisk is an extremely rare item of the Hydra during World War II, this thing contains too many secrets, and the second person of the Hydra, Howise, even believes that as long as he finds out the secret hidden in the obelisk, this thing can change the predicament of the Hydra back then, and can even completely change the world.

It's a pity that all his predictions didn't succeed, and when Hydra was defeated after World War II, they were almost wiped out by the Roaring Commando led by Captain America's old lover Agent Carter, so this obelisk has since fallen into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., and later, for some reason, the obelisk was controlled by the military, and it happened to be kept in the US military base where Patch went not long ago.

So Patch took advantage of the actions that Howistt had given them to Bach, and took the thing into his own hands.

It's just that Patch's knowledge of this thing is not as shallow as that of Hydra or Howest, and he knows that this thing is actually a legacy left by the Cree people when they carried out experiments on Earth a long time ago, and it is also the crystallization of a certain aspect of the Cree civilization.

What is hidden in this obelisk is far beyond the imagination of the current earthlings, and with the current level of science and technology on the earth, it is difficult to decipher the secret hidden in this thing, so in Patch's opinion, both Howest and S.H.I.E.L.D. want to decipher this thing is doomed to be in vain, which is enough from the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. handed over the obelisk to the military to keep in a secret military base.

Unable to break through the secret of the obelisk, this thing is useless to them.

It's just that Patchy is different......

Although he couldn't figure out what secrets were hidden in the obelisk, he really didn't think about being able to crack the obelisk, because Patch only wanted to use this item to get a certain amount of exchange points in the exchange panel of the main god space.

So after muttering in a low voice, Patch immediately straightened up and whispered into the air, "Show the Lord God Exchange Panel." ”

As Patch beckoned, a virtual projection appeared in front of him, and all sorts of things flashed on the panel, dazzling Patch.

It's just that Patch knows that now is not the time to covet these things on the panel, and he can't afford to exchange these things now! After so many years, Patch knows that as long as it is valuable to the main god space, it will get a lot of exchange points, so if there are exchange points, everything is easy to say, but there is none...... That's it.

"Detect the value of the item." Suppressing his restless thoughts, Patch reached out and pointed to the obelisk in the suitcase on his desk, and said silently in his mind.

Patch's words fell, and a bright white light fell from the virtual panel in mid-air, and landed on the dark obelisk on his desk.

The white light projected on the virtual panel was like a scanning machine, and the obelisk was completely swept up and down, and then slowly put it away.

And just as the white light disappeared, a mechanical electronic sound sounded in Patch's head, which immediately made him tremble in his ears.

"Advanced Energy Enrichment Cube, worth 18,000 exchange points, host exchange, yes/no......"

Listening to the voice in his head, Patch couldn't help but open his mouth and eyes wide, and it took a long time for him to react.

"Eighteen thousand exchange points?"

But after reacting, Patch couldn't help but pat his thigh heavily, and exclaimed in a tearful whisper: "I'm going to send it!" ”

After the excitement in his heart gradually subsided, Pache turned his head to look at the red sky swept by the morning sun outside the window, nodded thoughtfully and said to himself: "Sure enough, fishing in troubled waters and cutting off your beard halfway is the right way to make a fortune!" ”
