The rushing waters receded at noon the next day, and the sky over the Amazon forest began to clear after the rain, except for the fish and muddy ground that had not had time to return to the river to prove the existence of last night's storm.

Stepping on the ground, the ground that had been soaked overnight suddenly engulfed Phil Coulson's ankles, and the sticky feeling couldn't help but make him frown.

"It's disgusting."

"Disgusting but useful, they can delay the mercenaries on the march and leave us time to interrogate the abandoned guys." Li Yue smiled and jumped out of the hammock and said, "From his mouth, we should be able to get some clues about their identity." ”

"I want to know more about their marching routes, to catch them before they get out of the jungle." Phil Colson said after examining his pistol.

Soon they found the mercenary who had howled all night in a tree outside the village.

The poor fellow, wrecked by the storm, clinging to the trunk of the tree in his soaked clothes, had fallen into a deep sleep.

"High fever, lack of water, wound infection." Li Yue looked up at this guy and said, "She has a cold, and there are some serious ones." ”

"Gotta get her down, we can't let him die easily." Phil Coulson said, turning to the agents who were arriving one after another.

Soon two sturdy agents rushed to the branch and picked the guy down.

Arthur, who was holding the leftover grilled fish from last night, handed over the things in his hand to the agent beside him, squatted down and untied the mercenary's helmet and clothes, and after carefully inspecting it, he said, "He is not a professional mercenary, he should be a scientific researcher." There were no items on him, and he should have been discarded when he searched for everything of value.

In addition, there was a five-centimeter-long wound on the abdomen, which was preliminarily judged to be a dagger stab wound. ”

"Mostly correct." Li Yue nodded and said, "I need to add a few points, first, this is a minor girl who is in the development period.

Second, she is not a researcher, but a student, and her student ID is hidden in her boots.

Thirdly, if you touch her belly again......"

"Smack~"

A loud slap rang out, and the girl pulled off her clothes in fright, retreated to the root of the tree, and pulled her clothes tightly.

"That's what I'm trying to say."

Phil Coulson glanced at Li Yue, who had pit his subordinates, speechlessly, walked up to the girl and said, "My name is Phil Coulson, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. You should know what this means, you impersonated us, and killed the leader, and took the Blood Orchid that belonged to us. ”

"Ahem, cough~" The girl coughed violently twice, and said with a pale face trembling, "I was also forced to be helpless, please let me go."

They took control of my family, forced me to come here to do research, and if I didn't come, they would kill my family. ”

"Not a mercenary?"

"I don't know, but their leader was a very tall and terrifying man who broke the neck of a police officer with his bare hands." The girl cried and said, "I want to save the old man too, but I'm scared." I'm sorry. ”

Phil Coulson stood up and asked Li Yue, "Have you pushed this out?" ”

"Time, Phil." Li Yue shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can restore the past, it is not the same as indefinite deduction of the future, you know that this has uncertainty." ”

"Damn it." Phil Colson cursed, "The clue is broken again." ”

Arthur rubbed his blushing face and walked over and said, "It's not all, according to the degree and location of the girl's wounds, we can deduce the approximate direction and distance of the group of mercenaries, this is a very common technique in our laboratory, after all, we are constructing ......"

"There is no doubt that we can do it." Li Yue interrupted Arthur's words and said, "Phil knows these things, and the security level of others is not enough." ”

Building a city in a dream, every dream thief has a strong sense of direction, so that they don't go around in circles in the dream, and finding someone's location is their strength.

Phil Coulson, who had experienced the dream, certainly understood what Arthur was talking about.

He furrowed his brow and said to his agents, "Send this girl back to the village and give her medicine - we must take precautions until we find out where she really came from."

After all, student IDs can also be faked. ”

You say whatever you say, after all, you're the boss. Li Yue shrugged his shoulders and said to Arthur, "Gather our little monsters, and after handling the supplies, send them out to detect the whereabouts of the mercenaries."

Let them be careful, if I was right yesterday, the python will chase them because of the blood orchid. ”

Arthur nodded and said, "I'll give orders." ”

"Oh! That's right, Boss! Lunch was yesterday's grilled fish, which was a little cold but tasted good. ”

Li Yue took the agent and handed over a few pieces of grilled fish and put them in his mouth, although it became cold overnight, it tasted much better than canned dry food.

"I'm starting to miss French food in San Francisco." Li Yue handed a piece of fish meat to Phil Coulson and said.

Phil Coulson took the fish and put it in his mouth and chewed it, saying, "There are French restaurants in New York, no worse than San Francisco." ”

"However, Oloro and Audrey are not in New York." Li Yue said with a smile, "I was just wondering if Oloro would be like the girl just now when she was on a mission—like being injured. ”

"There are very few people in the world who can hurt them." Phil Coulson shrugged and said, "Wiesel is one of my friends, and I've never worried about him. ”

It's kind of a small talk over lunch.

After lunch, Phil Coulson left a group of men to guard the village, while the others and the little monsters continued to follow the mercenary's footsteps.

Because of the timely reconnaissance of the fish-people, the group avoided several very dangerous areas - the red-bellied piranha gathering place, the caiman crocodile gathering place, and the common python nest.

In return, the few fish people who went there became their mouths.

But the good news also followed, broken branches, and the passage through which the python glided appeared more and more in the eyes of everyone.

Finally, the traces lost their traces in a swamp.

Arthur picked up a broken branch and looked at it carefully, and said, "It won't take more than an hour, and they should have flowed through this swamp." ”

Phil Coulson took out a satellite locator and looked at it and said, "There's an abandoned refinery two kilometers ahead, and I think that's their target." ”
