Phil Coulson never imagined that one day he would suddenly take on the burden of S.H.I.E.L.D., even if it wasn't as heavy as it had been on Director Nick Fury's shoulders, but for him, the responsibility still left him a little overwhelmed.

However, he is an experienced and mentally competent agent after all, and he can even be called a model among agents, so even if he is still upset about his resurrection, and the recent loss of control of himself has doubled the pressure in his heart, he still has to take on the affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D.

It's just that he has a lot of pressure on himself, and the pressure on S.H.I.E.L.D. in charge is also not small, and the destruction of S.H.I.E.L.D. is accompanied by the exposure of Hydra, the enemy of S.H.I.E.L.D., especially a large part of Hydra is still out of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Just from his side, there was John Garrett, who had been trained together, and even Grant Ward, a fighter in his squad, and because he didn't find out that this Ward was actually a hydra, not only indirectly caused several high-level agents to be brutally killed, but also almost caused an accident to two scientific and technological talents in the squad, although in the end the lives of the two were saved, but they were not intact.

"Alas!"

Phil Coulson stood on the edge of the base's parking lot, and sighed at the thought of Leo Fitz, whose brain was damaged.

Fitz is a good subordinate, at least much stronger than Grant Ward, but he injured his brain in the previous escape from death, and he has been very busy because of the burden of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the other people in the previous team also exerted their strength at such a critical moment in S.H.I.E.L.D., even Jenma Simmons began to turn from a scientific researcher to a spy and invaded the interior of Hydra, so he naturally cared very little about him.

However, there is no way to do it, and the situation of S.H.I.E.L.D. at this time is really not optimistic.

Thinking of the Sky Hammer Bureau, which had the same functions as S.H.I.E.L.D., and had a formal appointment compared to S.H.I.E.L.D., he couldn't help but be deflated, with his understanding, he didn't think that Maria Hill's character would tolerate the existence of a S.H.I.E.L.D., even if this Aegis was already in tatters and there wasn't much left.

It's just that he can't disappoint Nick Fury, so even when Maria Hill reaches out for a helping hand but is actually a signal to annex them, he refuses without hesitation, and even severs contact with him altogether.

However, he rejected the Sky Hammer Bureau and kept S.H.I.E.L.D., but there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, S.H.I.E.L.D. is indeed struggling at this time.

With the Black Widow leaking all the secret information of S.H.I.E.L.D. and spreading it wildly on the Internet, S.H.I.E.L.D. has completely torn off the veil of mystery and turned into a well-known organization, and most of the people have a bad impression of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is natural, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is an organization that holds all the secrets in the palm of its hand, and according to the words of the news industry, the right to know is completely monopolized by S.H.I.E.L.D.

What's more, although Nick Fury left him something, but this bit of stuff really can't be called much, except for a few bases, some equipment, there is nothing good at all.

Not much to say about the staffing, even if it absorbs some former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, there are not many so far, after all, compared to S.H.I.E.L.D., which is obviously in decline, the more potential Sky Hammer Bureau is obviously a better choice.

At the same time, the equipment they are using now is not very good, and the stealth devices that were once able to be used by the entire huge Helicarrier now need to be redeveloped by themselves, although it is a bit too much to describe as miserable, but it is not much different.

"Alas!"

Thinking about this whole thing, Phil Coulson sighed again.

His sigh was heard by Melinda May, who was walking towards him, and she raised her eyebrows and asked in a rare soft voice, "Coulson, are you worried about what you will be waiting for?" ”

Coulson came back to his senses when he heard this familiar voice, turned his head to look at Agent May's stiff and cold face, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head: "No, I'm not worried about what happened next, since the choice has been made, then it can only be like this, not to mention how bad the situation can be?" ”

When Agent May heard this, she immediately understood that Phil Coulson was not worried about what she thought she was, but something else, as Phil Coulson's closest colleague at the moment, she could naturally know what was annoying Phil Coulson, thinking of this, she couldn't help but gently pat Coulson on the shoulder, and didn't continue to say anything about it, because she knew that no matter what she said until the matter was really resolved, it was useless.

She took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "Do you know who will come later?" ”

Coulson smiled bitterly and said, "It's an old friend." ”

Agent May looked at Coulson's expression, and instantly understood that this Coulson's old friend was definitely not an easy character to deal with, and immediately raised a trace of seriousness.

The situation of S.H.I.E.L.D. was already bad after the failure of Hydra's insight plan, and 'bad' here is just an adjective, and it is still an inaccurate adjective, especially after the establishment of the Sky Hammer Bureau in the name of the World Security Council, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. led by Coulson has made it even more difficult.

So in this case, what S.H.I.E.L.D. did not explicitly state in order to maintain its status as an international organization is about to become a reality at this time.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is completely under the U.S. government!

At this time, the reason why Phil Coulson and Melinda May are standing here is to wait for the commissioner sent by the government, and then discuss the affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is naturally nothing more than how much resources the U.S. government has invested in S.H.I.E.L.D., and what kind of price S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to pay for this.

For S.H.I.E.L.D., which lacks everything at this time, the price they need to pay is naturally to use their professional ability to work hard for the U.S. government, and there is a high probability that this subordination relationship is secret, and even useless in most cases, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is absolutely unpleasant in the impression of the people, and even the U.S. government cannot take the initiative to stick to such a big trouble as S.H.I.E.L.D.

But whatever the next government representatives may offer, they will consider it carefully, because they have no confidence to reject this last hope at the moment.

And just then, two cars drove in one after another from the entrance of the garage.
