Chapter 300: Garrett's Death
The people of S.H.I.E.L.D. have been busy lately, from Nick Fury to the archivist, all worried about this world that is about to enter an era of war.
However, there are also some people in S.H.I.E.L.D. who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they are naturally members of Hydra lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D.
Level 8 Agent Garrett, after returning to his office, couldn't help but change his serious face to a smile. It's been a busy time lately, and I've been on a mission to the European theater.
Although most of it was work like protecting and evacuating civilians, and it didn't really need to fight mutants, it did cost him a lot of experience. But the busier he became, the happier Garrett became, because it was only when the world was in chaos that Hydra had a chance to lurk deeper into the nations of the world.
In this war, although the Hydra's stronghold was destroyed a lot, at the same time, the threat of mutants and Inhumans also made the world realize that they were in an unsafe state. European countries that were not infiltrated by Hydra are now seeking military support, and this is a good opportunity for Hydra to reach out to these countries.
In particular, these countries have a high degree of trust in S.H.I.E.L.D., an international security organization, and are increasingly dependent on S.H.I.E.L.D. for protection. And now, S.H.I.E.L.D. has long been controlled by Hydra, and the expansion of S.H.I.E.L.D. is equivalent to the expansion of Hydra.
This transaction is definitely a sure win.
However, this is a good thing for Alexandra Pearce's Hydra force, and it is a downright bad thing for the Hydra branch on Whitehall's side.
"Daniel Whitehall, the old immortal, should also let him understand who is in the Hydra now. We, the most powerful force, should have unified the other divisions long ago. In this way, the time for Hydra to rule the world will come sooner. Garrett thought triumphantly.
At that time, Garrett's status will be able to rise, and even become the head of a small country directly. When the time comes, he will not be stingy in promoting his subordinates.
At the thought of this, Garrett's first reaction was Ward. This subordinate he cultivated with his own hands is simply the most perfect successor. Garrett has no son of his own and wants to adopt Ward as an adopted son.
Not long ago, Ward also brought him a potion, which he said was captured from a mutant. This potion heals most old wounds and dark wounds, and grants ordinary people abilities.
Garrett found someone to test it and found that there was no harm, so he used it on himself. Sure enough, all kinds of dark injuries left over from the war for many years have been repaired, and his physical condition has never been better.
And during this time, Garrett found that his strength was slowly increasing, and soon surpassed his peak by more than double. The potion appears to be working, transforming Garrett from an ordinary person to a transcendent being.
He enjoyed the process, so he was even more satisfied with Ward.
It's just that Garrett was imagining the future in his office when the door was slammed open. Garrett instinctively reacted to hide under the table, only to find that the other party was faster than him.
When the gunshots rang out, Garrett was hit by three bullets in the chest.
This is not a metal bullet that penetrates sexual damage, but a snake venom bullet with a strong anesthetic. This specially equipped paralyzing agent is capable of rendering him incapable of resisting within a fraction of a second after hitting the body.
Garrett's body, though constantly being strengthened, struggled for a second more than a normal person, and then lost his strength.
Before Garrett fell, he saw a familiar figure walking briskly towards him.
Grant Ward!
Just now, Garrett praised him a lot, and even planned to adopt him as his adopted son, but this time the raid was actually done by him? Who is giving the order, and who is going to deal with him?
It's a pity that these thoughts can only spin around in my mind for a while, and I can never ask them. Because when Ward walked up to Garrett, he pretended to check his physical condition, but in fact quietly pressed a certain position under his armpit.
A miniature capsule hidden inside shattered, and highly toxic cyanide flowed out into the bloodstream, and in almost a matter of seconds, Garrett foamed at the mouth. This is a suicide poison possessed by every member of the Hydra, and generally speaking, only the person knows which part of the body is hidden.
However, this could not be hidden from Ward, as he once wore a pair of tactical eyepieces to see through Garrett's whole body. Cyanide and flesh and bones were completely different in color, and Ward only needed a glance to know where the poison was hidden.
Garrett died neatly, and Ward shouted in pain like an actor: "Find a doctor!" Fast! ”
At this time, Ward showed a good contradictory emotion of "having to kill his relatives in righteousness but unable to accept that Galletian was dying", and his expression of wanting to cry without tears and grief and indignation was really moving.
Although Garrett was rushed to the infirmary, cyanide was so poisonous that even the best doctors in S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't save it.
Garrett's death in S.H.I.E.L.D. can be said to have caused an uproar. An eighth-level agent turned out to be a Hydra lurker, and this situation even alarmed Alexandra Pearce, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who had long since retired.
Ward, as a closely related agent in this matter, was soon called in for questioning by the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for questioning.
Ward, who had a melancholy face and seemed to have been hit hard, changed his grim expression after entering Pierce's private office.
"Hurrah, Hydra!" Ward said with a scrupulous salute to Pierce.
Alexandre Pierce didn't respond, just stared at Ward, as if to look into the depths of his heart. After a long while, Pierce didn't notice anything wrong, and then said to Ward, "Do you know that Garrett gave the information about Hydra to mutants?" ”
"I didn't know it wasn't until Coulson found me that I knew he had betrayed the organization." Ward said through gritted teeth.
"You're the one he brought out, since you received the news that S.H.I.E.L.D. is going to arrest Garrett, why didn't you notify me in advance? Didn't you think it might be a trap? Pierce asked in a serious tone.
After seeing the relevant investigation reports before and after Garrett's suicide, Alexandra Pearce's first reaction was disbelief. He didn't believe that the eighth-level agent he had single-handedly sent the Hydra's stronghold data back to the mutants.
Garrett had no reason to do so, and the executioner of the capture was Ward, which really made Pierce have a bad association.
No, Ward is the real betrayer, could it be that he framed Garrett? Was he turned against Coulson or Nick Fury?
If this speculation is true, isn't it Hydra's infiltrator in S.H.I.E.L.D., which already has most of it?
One question after another appeared, making Pierce's eyes show an undisguised murderous aura, and once Ward couldn't explain it clearly, he would not hesitate to kill him.
