At the last moment before dawn, General Ross gritted his teeth and launched a final attack on the statue of the goddess as he retreated unwillingly.

It was a missile that flew from a military base hundreds of miles away.

General Ross would love to blast the damned Goddess Statue into the sky with a nuclear egg, but he doesn't have the authority and doesn't dare. Although he is tough and hawkish, he follows the interests of the United States, and even if he has authority, he does not dare to throw nuclear eggs in New York and explode.

He's not Malik.

The power of this missile is obvious. It's a pity that it targets the Statue of Liberty. At the moment of the explosion, all the energy that can be absorbed is absorbed, and what cannot be absorbed is directly transferred to the ground, and even the shock wave has not had time to be set off, like a light fireball, gone.

The only consequence was a slight tremor felt throughout New York.

This missile was the penultimate fireball before the end of the massive bullet rainstorm, and the penultimate one was the moment when General Ross's helicopter reluctantly left within three seconds after the missile exploded.

Huang Shi's head poked out of the ruins, looked at the wreckage of the falling helicopter with an expressionless face, and said lightly: "Hit and run, where is it so easy." ”

Chang Wei has never been a wreck who can't fight back, scolds and doesn't fight back. The sage said: repay virtue with virtue and complain directly, this sentence is his motto.

General Ross beat Chang Wei for two hours, and Chang Wei returned him, which was interesting enough.

did not leave all the American troops who participated in the war, Chang Wei was very merciful and worthy of the name of 'Great Virtue'.

...

With the 'martyrdom' of General Ross, the 'Christmas Ghost' incident has come to an end for the time being. And the title of Christmas ghost also resounded in the dark world.

At dawn, Malik's body was finally sent out after sitting in the press conference room for half the night. Then seven or eight guys rushed out of the crowd of protesters outside, grabbed Malik's body without saying anything, poured gasoline on it, and set it on fire.

While burning the corpses, they cursed loudly, scolding Malik's eighteenth generation ancestor inside and out.

In view of Malik's exposure of the sins last night, there was no one around to stop it.

Malik's daughter could only cry helplessly.

Until Malik's body burned to ashes, the men reluctantly allowed Malik's daughter to collect the ashes.

It was only at this time that Natasha and Barton quietly left.

On the Kun flying machine, Natasha and Barton both seemed relaxed.

"It went well."

Barton laughed, "It went better than any previous mission." ”

"If it weren't for the pill, you would have to play Malik and make up some specious words." Natasha smiled.

"It's much easier to use than a truth elixir."

Barton agreed.

The so-called pill is something that Alena brought back after her first visit to the Statue of Liberty. It was an act by Nick Fury trying to ask Chang Wei for help.

He got his wish.

After Malik took the pill, he became extremely obedient, and asked him to do whatever he wanted, without the slightest hesitation.

That's the truth of the press conference.

The two were chatting and watching the on-board television that was reporting on what had happened last night in New York.

Barton sighed, "What a crazy night. ”

"Hydra is a terrorist deterrent, the army is a violent deterrent, and for them, the goal is the only one. Everything else is a side branch. Natasha said, "Nick's courage is extraordinary, tsk, if it were me, I wouldn't have made up my mind." ”

Barton shook his head: "If the director can't make up his mind, I'll quit S.H.I.E.L.D." I can't imagine that what I've been working for is Hydra, and I can't accept it. Although the loss is not small, affecting many civilians, it can clear the hydra, and it is worth it. ”

"yes, it's worth it."

Back at S.H.I.E.L.D., in Nick's office, all the core members arrived.

Credible people, including Melinda, Jason, Ethan, and others.

Nick Fury was lying on the couch mummified, in high spirits: "OK, everyone's here." I'm announcing the rebirth of S.H.I.E.L.D. now, but we have more to do than we can relax. When I'm done, I'll treat everyone to a barbecue. ”

All the finishing touches are in Nick Fury's mind, and he arranges tasks one by one.

When everyone was arranged, the mission went, leaving Natasha and Alena behind.

Natasha smiled and said, "Nick, are you excluding me and Alena from the S.H.I.E.L.D. core?" ”

"That's right."

Nick nodded without hesitation: "Because you have another backer." If the two of you are still at the heart of S.H.I.E.L.D., I'm afraid that one day S.H.I.E.L.D. will become a knife in someone's hands. ”

Both Natasha and Alena laughed.

Natasha said, "Although your worries are unnecessary, I accept your reasons. ”

Alena also said: "Natasha is right, even if you can rest assured, Natasha will make a request to stay away from the core of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

"I don't think I'm thinking much of it." Nick smiled, "Natasha, help me open the drawer." ”

Natasha opens the drawer, which contains two contracts.

"That's right, it's a contract." Nick Fury said: "I have decided to change the relationship between S.H.I.E.L.D. and you, take it out and take a look, and sign it if you want." ”

The terms of the two contracts are the same, and they are one consultancy contract. In other words, once Natasha and Alena signed this contract, their relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. changed from subordinate to subordinate to equal cooperation and half.

This is not verbal, but written formal.

The two looked at each other, nodded, and without hesitation, signed their names on their respective contracts.

Nick smiled: "In this way, you and I can rest assured." The contract is just a formality, and we are still close comrades-in-arms, aren't we? When I'm in trouble, I'll still ask you to help me out, and of course, S.H.I.E.L.D. will pay me enough. ”

"Looks like we're not going to have anything to do next."

Natasha stood up: "I'm going to go back to St. Edward with Alaina, the house we bought hasn't lived in once. ”

Nick said, "If you stop by, I would like you to go to the Statue of Liberty to greet Mr. Chang Dade on my behalf and tell him that S.H.I.E.L.D. expects to cooperate with him more deeply." Any need he needs in the future, S.H.I.E.L.D. can meet him. ”

"Yes."

The two women left the S.H.I.E.L.D. Trident building with ease, drove a pickup truck, and swayed towards Lady Liberty.

Seeing countless processions along the way, feeling the restlessness of New York, and seeing the ruins in the area near the statue of the goddess, it is inevitable to sigh a few times.
