Chapter 0006: First intimate contact with S.H.I.E.L.D
"Did you find anything at sea?"
"No, sir."
"Did the military intercept anything about UFOs?"
"Only the humanoid craft that Lieutenant Colonel James Rodez marked earlier, and the larger one that appeared in the sky over Stark Industries half an hour ago, sir!"
"Okay, keep watching!"
The humanoid flying machine mentioned here by Roddy is Stark's steel suit, and the other larger one is naturally Obadi's. Combined with the situation of the sea and land routes, that is, unless the intruder has made a hole in the ground, he, or they, are still in the villa.
Unfortunately, because it was a temporary operation, props such as infrared detection or thermal imagers were not brought, otherwise at least you would have had a little understanding of the situation in the villa before entering the villa. There was no way, Coulson could only frown and give orders.
"The agents spread out to check for possible traces in the vicinity, and the SWAT officers entered the villa to search. Be careful, be vigilant, and report any anomalies in time! ”
"Yes!" ×N。
Nodding to the agents and SWAT officers, Coulson watched them go to their posts. At the same time, he tapped the headphones lightly, and then whispered hungry: "Are you in place?" ”
At this time, Stark, who noticed his small movement, asked very familiarly: "Who is in place?" ”
Coulson smiled at Stark, "Support." ”
"Support, right to ......," Stark said casually, "how many people are there here, twenty or thirty." There's only one person on target, and you're still shouting for backup. So that's how our taxpayers' efforts are wasted? ”
"I'm glad you're back in your usual state of mind, Mr. Stark." Coulson said with a smile still on his face. This is also a spit out that Stark has a poisonous tongue again. Of course, he did not forget to explain: "First of all, we cannot yet confirm that the intruder acted alone. Secondly, even if there is really only one person inside, Mr. Stark, you don't know, sometimes one person can wreak terrible havoc. ”
Stark still had that flirtatious look: "What, you're going to tell me that the intruder is a Prinship?" I'm sorry, but this is not Sarajevo, and I don't have a crown prince in my villa. ”
The allusion to this sentence comes from the 10s of the last century. A young Serbian named Prinhip shot and killed the then crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which became the trigger for the First World War.
This time, Coulson was scolded very lightly. He kept a smile on his face, weighed it secretly, and said, "Okay, Mr. Stark. I don't mean that exaggerated, you just need to know that we have a small percentage of people in our population who are born with the potential to be stronger than us. Some of them can easily deal with a squad of special forces. ”
"It's stronger than 'you', isn't it? You mean something like me? Indeed, my Iron Suit can do what you say. Stark said, looking confident. And when he noticed the flicker of helplessness and the look of helplessness on Coulson's face out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly changed his voice again. "Okay, okay, I know what you're really trying to say. So you suspect that this guy who took advantage of the fire to rob was a mutant? ”
Hearing this, Coulson looked up sharply, looked at Stark in a daze, and didn't react for a while.
Stark felt a sense of accomplishment in making Coulson lose his temper. However, just as he was about to say a few more words, gunshots rang out from the villa, a continuous burst of gunfire. In addition, the headset he had asked for from one of the agents was filled with violent gasps and screams.
If hearing these voices made them worried, it wasn't long before they were worried when they were gone.
Such silence was uncomfortable, and Coulson, who was a little annoyed and regretful, planned to lead the team into the villa himself. Suddenly, an explosion was heard. Then there was another voice in the headset - but not from the SWAT, but from the coast guard, who had been searching the coastline.
"The target was found to have dived into the water and absconded! Repeat once and find the target diving and absconding! ”
"Wait, he's still diving at this depth!"
Coulson reacted immediately. He ordered the coast guard and helicopters to intercept them, while he himself led a team into the villa to investigate the situation. The first half of the command is probably fine, but the second half is ...... Stark walked into the villa as well, and walked in front of all the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. And the closest thing to him behind him was not an agent, but Pepper Pots. Originally, Coulson thought that Potz was the kind of person who was more realistic and knew that he should be careful in the face of danger, but Stark's life assistant was very competent in some ways, even if she was worried and scared, and when she found Stark walking to the villa regardless of it, she still followed him.
Of course, she also tried to persuade Stark along the way, but the two of them irresponsibly rushed into the villa in front of all the agents, which might still be dangerous.
Coulson was rather aggrieved.
Luckily, there were no more bombs in the villa. And the previous explosion was not caused by a real bomb either, Stark, who entered first, already understood the situation.
"Whoever this man is, Coulson, I'm going to have a good conversation with him in my steel suit." Standing next to a hole, Stark said hatefully, "This guy violently dismantled my limited edition sports car, took the battery and the oil cylinder to make a very inefficient bomb, it is simply an insult to my vision of my car!" ”
The hole was blown up by the intruders. As mentioned earlier, Villa 10880 Malibu was built on a cliff. This cliff is actually not high, only thirty or forty meters, and a considerable part of the area of this villa jumps out of the top of the cliff. If the intruders were able to overcome the nearly two-story height below the hole, they would be able to escape the cliff's most dangerous position and climb down to the surface with relative safety. Coulson also had a certain understanding of this, so he brought in the coast guard and helicopters early on to block the entire sea area - whether it was on the surface or in the sea.
As for Stark's 'quips', he consciously ignored them and turned the conversation to the point: "So, have you lost anything here?" ”
Stark shrugged: "Fortunately for the organization behind you, my Mark II is still there, there is no trace of the results of the dismantling, and the data in the computer has not been copied, so there is no need to worry about an army of steel to challenge our country in a short time, your sense of existence." When I say 'in a short time,' I mean at least 10 to 20 years. ”
Coulson, who was relieved, smiled and did not speak when he heard this last sentence.
"As for the rest, nothing has been found for the time being. The car, the money, the tools, the equipment, all of them are here, and even my MIT graduation project robotic arm assistant Dummy was not taken away. God knows I'm tired of that stupid guy for a long time. ”
Not far away, a certain robotic arm lowered its 'head' sadly, looking pitiful.
"So I don't understand what the hell that intruder is...... Wait a minute! ”
Stark finally remembered the boulder that had kept him busy for months. When he walked to the place and found that he was not there, he turned to the agents and shouted, "Come and search the vicinity, and salvage the bottom of the sea...... That intruder took something that even I couldn't figure out! ”
The agents didn't make the first move, but subconsciously looked at Coulson.
For that boulder, S.H.I.E.L.D. has long had news, and Coulson, as a high-level agent who has been in contact with Stark, also knows something. Even the world's smartest brains can't crack the secrets of it, and they can't let it go with the idea that 'it's no longer used anyway', but rather the attitude that 'if it is cracked, it could be a great disaster'.
"Enough people will be taken outside by the SWAT officers on the ground for treatment, and the others will search the entire cliff. The target is a silvery-white man-tall boulder. ”
With Coulson's clear instructions, the agents immediately went into action. The SWAT officers were all wounded, and most of them fainted, and when one of them woke up, he told Coulson that he didn't see who the enemy was. He only knew that the enemy was about 190cm tall, probably white, and seemed to be very familiar with the fighting style of the SWAT, and he also smeared charcoal black fuel on his face to prevent himself from being brought out as much as possible. Under the sneak attack of this enemy, the three squads of eighteen special police officers failed to assemble, but were knocked down by the other party one by one.
"So this intruder could be a mercenary or something?" That's how Stark analyzed.
In addition, on land, the boulder has not been found. And the coast guard and helicopters have not yet caught the intruder at this time. The interception net had been deployed, but the intruder didn't seem to have any intention of breaking through. So the preliminary estimate is that the intruder is probably equipped with diving equipment, and intends to hide at the bottom of the sea with a boulder and wait for the search operation to end?
Just then, one of the agents shouted, "Sir, here's a discovery. ”
Coulson and Stark followed the sound and went to a bathroom in the villa, where they saw a guy wearing only a pair of underwear on top and bottom, with no obvious injuries on his body, only the back of his neck was probably blunt blow, so he fainted there.
Coulson glanced at Stark with a strange expression, and immediately attracted the other party's eyes.
"What kind of eyes are you...... Oh come on, if this person was brought by me, it would definitely not be such a burly rough man, but a supermodel or star with long legs and a good figure! ”
Stark feels insulted (laughs).
Coulson's rare smile came to an abrupt end. He suddenly thought of a possibility, so he hurriedly ordered: "Carry this person out for treatment, and at the same time let the SWAT officer who woke up identify him!" ”
As a result, Coulson's guess came true. This guy stripped naked and uniformed is actually a SWAT officer, the 19th SWAT.
"How is this possible?"
"Of course it can't be. It seems that the intruder was pretending to be a wounded and mixed in with the previous SWAT. ”
Sure enough, news came that the special police officers who had been taken outside the villa for treatment now found that there was one missing!
