Chapter 41: The Actions of S.H.I.E.L.D. for the Seventy-Two Hours
The train roared towards the exit of the hive.
Barton, Matt, Alice, and Kaplan sat slumped in the carriage, relatively silent.
Of the entire team, only four of them escaped from the hive alive.
In the process of entering the main engine room of the Red Queen, everyone else is the main combat team member, and they have to resist the attack of the lickers, so the first to enter the laser channel are Spencer and Banji.
Before Spencer could recover his memory, he died in the laser tunnel with Benji, and Wren died in the process of blocking the licker.
Managed to find an escape route from the Red Queen in a threatening way, only to be attacked by two evolved lickers - hunters at the last moment.
In the end, because he was scratched by the licker, he was infected, and Ethan, the leader of the team who was about to become a zombie, with the last shred of reason, took the bomb and chose to die with the two monsters.
"We failed, it's all my fault" After a long time, Alice, who was holding the box containing the virus and serum, said in a low voice, she had recovered her memory, and she already knew that she was the internal response of the IMF team, but she didn't have time to do anything, everything was all messed up, Matt's sister was torn, Benji died, and Ethan also died.
The mood of the other three was also low.
Matt lost his sister, the IMF team lost Ethan, the captain and Benji, the only technician, especially Ethan, the soul of the loss, and the dissolution of the IMF team was almost inevitable.
And Kaplan, not to mention, was betrayed by the boss, and all his comrades died.
"Okay, don't blame yourself, it's all the fault of the umbrella company, and we got enough evidence, with this, the umbrella company, there is absolutely no way to escape the charge, and that Wesker, we will definitely catch him." Seeing that everyone's mood was extremely low, Barton couldn't help but cheer everyone on.
At the mention of the umbrella company, several people showed hatred on their faces, and finally had some spirit.
As the train reached its end, everyone got off the train with the virus and serum, and the hive was completely shut down under Kaplan's operation. Then they were ready to leave.
But they had just entered the villa, and what was waiting for the four of them was the fully armed umbrella company's anti-chemical warfare troops.
At this time, the weapons on the four of them had already run out of ammunition, and they could only try to break out of the encirclement of these anti-chemical defense forces with their bare hands, but before they could let go of a few people, the four of them enjoyed a free kiss from Professor Yang provided by the umbrella company.
The four people who lost their ability to resist and the box containing the virus serum were immediately escorted into an escort van, and they were to be taken to the headquarters of the Umbrella Company, where they were handed over to the company's top management, and no one cared how they would be treated.
More anti-chemical warfare troops are still stationed in the villa, waiting for orders from the company's top management.
However, no one noticed that the escort vehicle, after driving away from the visual distance of the Umbrella Company's personnel, suddenly turned around and drove in a completely different direction from the Umbrella Company's headquarters.
In the escort car, the four people finally recovered slowly, but when they thought that their party had all fallen into the hands of the umbrella company, they couldn't help but feel a little desperate, they were now all shackled, and they couldn't move at all, not to mention that there were four helmet-wearing, heavily armed umbrella soldiers looking at them in the car.
"Where are you going to send us?" Barton asked one of the Umbrella Company soldiers beside him.
The soldier ignored him at all, and directly flashed his electric stun baton, and just when Barton thought he was going to enjoy Professor Yang's kiss again, the soldier suddenly burst out and poked a stick into the body of his companion next to him.
And this scene also happened to the other two umbrella soldiers in the car at the same time.
In the surprised gaze of the four, the umbrella soldier who had solved a "companion" took off his helmet and revealed a beautiful face, which was the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who had met Ethan not long ago, Melinda.
The other Umbrella Soldier, who also took off his helmet, was none other than Melinda's partner, Agent Ward.
"It's a headache for me," Melinda tossed her helmet aside, shook her jet-black hair, and glanced at the four of them and asked, "Where's Ethan?" ”
"Who are you?" Hearing Melinda's question, Barton and Matt couldn't help but look at each other.
"Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau" Melinda brushed her hair and introduced herself, then asked again, "I know you are the CIA's MIF team, what about your captain Ethan?" ”
"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of you guys from the Territorial Logistics Bureau, so please forgive me for not being able to answer any questions." Barton said in a somewhat stiff tone, a little confused about the other party's origin, and chose not to cooperate, while Alice and the others looked at the situation and chose to take Barton as a prospect.
"Ah, it's okay, I can let someone else come and talk to you" Melinda didn't mind Barton's attitude, but took out a laptop computer, and after some manipulation, a black boiled egg...... Oh no, a black bald-headed one-eyed dragon appeared on the screen.
"Clint Patton, I'm Nick Fury, maybe you've heard of me," the black one-eyed dragon began.
“…… Yes, I've seen your name on the CIA's list of directors," Patton hesitated and nodded.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. and the CIA don't deal with each other much, it is mainly a contradiction caused by the overlap of functions between agencies and the different service users, but as far as Nick Fury is concerned, before becoming the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he served as the director of the CIA, which is why he is very familiar with the IMF team leader Ethan, although the two do not deal with each other.
And Patton, an old CIA agent, naturally knows this big guy.
"That was my old job, and now I'm wearing a different uniform," Nick Fury nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a document signed by the IMF's immediate supervisor, the head of the CIA's operations division, and the current CIA director appeared on the screen.
"I've already communicated with your superiors, and since then, the IMF team has been officially merged into the Operations Division of the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, and is under the jurisdiction of Agent Melinda, do you have any questions?" Nick Fury said, pointing to the papers.
Anyway, he is also a former CIA director, and Nick Fury still has a lot of face in many departments in the United States, no, the IMF team is coming over directly.
However, Nick Fury apparently does not know by now that the IMF team has lost more than half of its team...... Well, there were four of them, two died, and one of them was still the captain.
“…… No, sir," Barton said in a loud voice, confirming that there was nothing wrong with the paper.
"So, now, tell me, where Ethan is, what the hell is going on in that villa," Nick Fury asked.
"He died, and the Umbrella Company has a research base under that villa, where the Umbrella Corporation conducts research on biological and chemical weapons." Under Nick Fury's inquiry, Barton was silent for a moment, and recounted their fate.
The faces of Nick Fury on the other side of the computer and Melinda next to him became more and more serious as Barton recounted, and Ethan's death was already very surprising to them, and the situation on the Umbrella Company's side was even worse than they imagined.
"May, I'll send Hill over to take over the rest of the operation, and you, take care of bringing the virus and the serum back" When Barton finished speaking, Nick Fury closed and pondered for a while, and ordered Melinda.
At this time, 12 hours have passed since the virus leaked.
