Chapter 164: Loot Snatching
After Thor left with Loki, there was no longer any suspense about the ownership of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
Captain America also didn't want to continue to leave such a dangerous thing on Earth, and handing it over to Jo Lu seemed to be the best option.
At the same time, the Wandering Earth also began to send space engineering teams to recover various loot from the battlefield of New York, such as the wreckage of the Dark Star, the corpse of the Leviathan Behemoth, the flying machines of the Zetarians and the Saka soldiers, and so on.
Although these alien technologies are also slightly different from the human tech tree, at least they are not to the point where Cybertron civilization cannot be parsed, and there is always value in taking them back for research.
Qiao Lu also asked Liu Peiqiang to bring the Cosmic Cube and Loki's Scepter back to the wandering earth first, and let the scientists study what the two Infinity Stones could be used for, and then make a decision when he returned.
Although the war is over, he still has more to do.
Star-Lord, who had been knocked unconscious by Wang Lei, also woke up again, but at this time, the battle in New York was over.
Star-Lord, who felt that his mind was still a little unconscious, hurriedly found Qiao Lu, and directly handed him the whistle arrow thrown from Yongdu and said:
"Thank you for helping save the planet, and take this arrow as a thank you. You don't have to tell people that I gave it to you, I'll go back and fix the spaceship and leave, don't worry about me anymore. ”
Qiao Lu glanced at the golden whistle arrow that Star-Lord stuffed into his hand, and said a word that broke his careful thoughts:
"Could it be that there is a tracker on this arrow or something, are you trying to cause trouble?"
Star-Lord hurriedly denied it: "How could it be? Hahaha, I'm a good person. ”
His reaction was simply equivalent to acquiescence.
But what Star-Lord didn't know was that during the time he was in a coma, Yongdu had already been to the solar system and was scared away by the 10,000 rings of the Spring Festival on the Wandering Earth.
Therefore, his plan to lead the way to the east is actually equivalent to giving it for nothing.
But at least he still got rid of this hot potato, and Qiao Lu has the strength to take over.
That's what you need.
"Okay, I'll take this arrow." Qiao Lu put the sentry arrow in his pocket, "But don't expect me to deal with Yongdu for you or anything. ”
Star-Lord continued to sloppy eyes: "Who is Yongdu?" I don't know that guy. ”
With that, Star-Lord put on his spacesuit, activated his jet boots and left.
For the Wandering Earth, there is no longer any value in continuing to monitor.
This golden whistle arrow, Qiao Lu accepted it as a thank you gift as he said.
At least it's a good weapon too.
Just when the war was over and only the work of recovering the loot remained, a fiery meteor entered the Earth's atmosphere and flew straight to the battlefield of New York.
Both the Avengers and the Wandering Earth Force thought that a new enemy was coming and alerted them, but only Qiao Lu knew that this was just another belated arrival of a superhero who was late to return.
Captain Marvel was back to brush up on her pathetic presence.
As expected by Joe, this strong man who crosses the universe in the flesh is Captain Marvel, who is known as the strongest superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But this superhero is not just the guardian of the earth, she needs to protect hundreds of planets of weak civilizations in the universe, so it is most unrealistic to expect her to be on call.
Moments later, Captain Marvel, covered in golden flames and with his hair suddenly floating upwards like a Saiyan, appeared over the battlefield of New York.
The moment she appeared, countless weapons were immediately aimed at and locked on her, and if she made any rash move, she would be immediately overwhelmed by artillery fire.
Everyone in the Avengers also turned their weapons at Captain Marvel, and they had to be vigilant at such a sensitive moment.
However, in the face of so many weapons, Captain Marvel did not show the slightest fear, and she asked calmly and solemnly:
"Where's Nick Fury?"
At this time, Qiao Lu stood up and motioned for everyone to rest assured of their guns, and then said to Captain Marvel:
"It's Nick Fury who called you back, sorry, you're late again."
If you add the original movie plot that Joe knows about, it's that you're too late again, and Captain Marvel has never been on time anyway.
Especially after the Infinity War, by the time she arrived, the melons planted by Thanos were ripe.
Of course, this time is no exception.
Captain Marvel looked around, and the whole of New York was in ruins, but it was true that the war was over, and the human carrier battle group outside New York Harbor was being evacuated.
New York was littered with the wreckage of alien craft and the corpses of Zetarians and Saka soldiers, and Captain Marvel had fought these two disgraceful races elsewhere, so she was almost certain that Jolu was right, and humanity had indeed won the alien invasion war.
"Okay, let Nick Fury come to see me, I'll talk to him and leave." Captain Marvel said softly.
Now that the war is over, there is no need for her to stay on Earth for long.
"I'm here."
Just as Captain America was about to notify Nick to come, Nick Fury had already arrived on the battlefield in New York with a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
It's just that he doesn't seem to be here to catch up, and the timing he chose to appear is clearly waiting for Captain Marvel to arrive.
Captain Marvel asked him, "Nick, did you call me back for this kind of thing?" ”
Nick waved his hand and said, "Please wait a minute, it's not over yet." ”
After speaking, he turned to Qiao Lu, took a deep breath, and said in a serious tone:
"Dr. Qiao, or Mr. Qiao, I really took care of you before."
Obviously, he was still haunted by Qiao Lu's previous deception, but Qiao Lu would not feel the slightest guilt.
"What's the matter with you, Director Nick?" Qiao Lu asked nonchalantly.
Nick said very seriously, "Under Executive Order 396B, all post-war clean-up is now under the jurisdiction of our S.H.I.E.L.D. Thank you for your assistance, please take your people out and leave it to us. ”
"What do you mean?" Qiao Lu's face suddenly darkened, this old and cunning guy really came with bad intentions.
Nick further explained, "In short, we're taking over all the cleanup now, so please hand over all the alien objects you've collected, including the Cosmic Cube and Loki's Scepter that Loki stole from us. ”
His purpose is already obvious, that is, he wants to use Captain Marvel as a backer to try to get back the spoils of the New York War from Qiao Lu.
will use such a means to deserve to be the unscrupulous director of S.H.I.E.L.D. director.
"What if I say no?" Qiao Lu asked directly.
Nick also replied unceremoniously: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to my superior, the International Security Council, we are also for the safety of all mankind, please understand and cooperate." ”
S.H.I.E.L.D. for the safety of all mankind? It simply doesn't get any more ridiculous than that!
