This time it was on a plane that Mercer didn't recognize, not a helicopter, and there were several agents with him, one of whom was Grant Ward, who caught Mercer's attention, and Mercer hated this man, subconsciously that way.

With a height of about 1.9 meters, short black hair, he is definitely a handsome guy, with a sturdy figure and a formal suit, he can definitely attract many fans and sisters.

"I'm Grant Ward. Why did Mr. Mercer become the principal investigator of Gentek? ”

"Hehe, Mr. Agent, why don't you become an agent and not an actor?"

These were the only two conversations between the two, and Grant Walter looked very bad when he heard this, and Mercer ignored him, turned to Melinda and said:

"Melinda, do you think Nick Fury looks like a rich man?"

"Why? He certainly wasn't short of money. ”

"Don't you feel like he looks like someone owes him money? Well, a big creditor. ”

"Haha......", Melinda laughed suddenly, it was the first time she had heard someone complain about Nick Fury like this.

The flight was short, less than thirty minutes, and Mercer and his party appeared at a secret military base not far from Philadelphia.

As soon as Mercer got off the plane, he sensed a breath similar to that of the mother, and after devouring the mother, he was very sensitive to the mother's breath.

"Prea was here before, but has been transferred."

Mercer said to Melinda, turning on the thermal vision, Mercer found that the entire base was empty.

The group split up, and Mercer and Melinda formed a team.

The two looked around and chatted, "Alex, have you ever been in love?" ”

"I talked about it, and I was also from Gentek, but I broke up a long time ago."

Mercer said that he remembered that in the game, Alex Mercer was betrayed by his girlfriend Karen Parker.

"You haven't thought about starting a family?"

"I didn't have the time or the heart in the past. How do you ask this? ”

"It's just small talk."

The two of them chatted with each other until they reached a room similar to that of Gentek's Elizabeth Green, which was also the place where the mother's breath was strongest.

"It looks like these guys just ran away, and it always feels like they're in S.H.I.E.L.D.," Mercer said inadvertently.

Melinda said directly: "Impossible! ”

"Casually, it feels as if they can know our actions one step ahead, or that our actions have been led by them."

"......", Melinda stopped talking, she also felt this way, but she definitely didn't want to believe that there was a mole in S.H.I.E.L.D. where she grew up.

Once again, the operation was futile, and Mercer and the others returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters the same way.

……

Mercer took a sip of water and asked, although he didn't need to drink water to eat now, the black light virus perfectly mimicked the habits of the human body: "How's the Penn station going?" ”

After listening to Melinda and the others' reports, Nick Fury's intact eye narrowed, and the process was even imperceptible, and then replied:

"The men brought by Coulson have killed all the infected with weapons, and now the chemical defense forces are testing for virus residues."

Mercer shook his head, these people are also a disaster from heaven, and it was the "Alex Mercer" of the past who smashed the virus, not himself.

Neither the body nor the soul himself has anything to do with him, it just looks like him and uses his name. Alas, the relationship between them is not clear.

Black Watch took Prea underground, and the action was covered by Hydra, and now it was completely dark and clear.

Nick Fury suddenly asked, "Do you have any plans for the future?" ”

"Oh? I don't have any plans, I've been working at Gentek for so many years, and I've saved enough for a few years", Mercer didn't react at once.

"Savings ......," Nick Fury didn't expect Mercer to say that, and was stunned for a moment, "I mean, how are you going to deal with Blackwatch and Hydra." ”

Mercer's dead gray pupils flickered, and he understood the intention to deal with it, and said, "Deal with Black Watch and Hydra? Wait, wait for them to come to me, or what else can I do? ”

Nick Fury said directly, "Mr. Mercer, would you like to take a position in S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”

"You asked me to be your thug?"

Mercer has considered joining forces with S.H.I.E.L.D., but he will never serve these people, he was just a mercenary in his previous life, and he will definitely not be the opponent of these agents.

There is no benefit to joining S.H.I.E.L.D., and there is no loss if you don't join, so will they not tell themselves if they find the trace of Black Watch?

"No, we'll set up a biodefense advisor for you, and you'll only have to be in charge of things related to Black Watch and the Virus Crisis, and you can refuse other tasks; At the same time, neither Congress, nor the military, nor the World Security Council will come to your troubles again. ”

Nick Fury's words made Mercer feel a little moved, his way of thinking is still an ordinary person in essence, maybe living for a hundred and eighty years can get him out of this way of thinking, but it is only a few days.

He still wants to enjoy wine, food, and beautiful women, and he wants to have fun with all the things he had in his previous life. If you're being watched by a bunch of people and on guard, how can you play? Even if he could kill them all, he would become a public enemy of mankind.

"I will put my own interests first, and you have no right to order me to do what I don't want to do. In the meantime, are you sure those forces won't come to me for trouble? ”

"I'm sure, as long as you don't do things that go beyond the rules."

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone."

As a result, Mercer nominally reached an agreement with Nick Fury and became a biodefense consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D., unable to enjoy agent privileges, but not subject to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s constraints. It's a bit of a tone and not a preach.

"Mr. Mercer, Coulson is in charge of liaison with you," Nick Fury arranged.

"Huh? And what about Melinda? ”

Mercer said that he had no problem with Coulson, but that he thought that a beautiful woman was better than a man.

"Agent May has her own mission, and she's just going back to HQ this time," Nick Fury said, glancing at Melinda and Mercer.

He didn't mind using beauty tricks, and had arranged such things more than once, but Melinda had a family of her own, and Mercer was not so calculating.

Melinda didn't react in any way, glancing at Mercer and not speaking.

Coming out of the conference room, Coulson smiled and asked Mercer, "Do you have a crush on Melinda?" ”

"Haha, it's a joke, I just think it's not bad to partner with her, after all, a beautiful woman looks more pleasing to the eye than you, right?"

"I think so too, but I can't help it", Coulson shrugged, "Alex, where are you going to stay tonight?" ”

"Your S.H.I.E.L.D. won't give me a house, so I'll naturally have my own home."

Mercer smiled, he, or Alex Mercer, had a place to live.

"By the way, lend me a car for use, my own car is in my own parking lot."

Coulson smiled and said, "I'll send you back, or you'll have to find a way to drive the car back." Where do you live? ”

Coulson: It's kind of knowingly asking, but it's also a form of respect.

"Near Lincoln Center, on West 63rd Street," Mercer found the location of "his home" in other people's memories.

Americans like to live in the suburbs and then drive to work in the heart of the city. Mercer was not short of money, but because he didn't have much time to live at home, he bought a place to stay.

……

Mercer eventually returned to his home with the help of Coulson, who not only sent him back, but also helped Mercer get the room key.

Mercer lives in an upscale three-bedroom apartment that is very simply furnished and has nothing other than basic furniture.

The living room, bedroom, study, and a guest room that has never been used.

Mercer took a clean plate and a sharp knife from the kitchen and sat down on the sofa in the living room, Mercer slashed lightly at his fingers with the knife.

"This skin is really thick......"

Mercer didn't cut it for the first time, and it wasn't until he pushed a little harder that the blood dripped onto the plate.

Then, he could feel the black light virus in his blood dissipating rapidly, the blood in the tray began to dry up, and his wound healed in the blink of an eye.

Mercer quickly pulled out the potion left by the Winter Soldier on his chest, then pulled the needle off and dripped a drop of it on his own blood.

Fusion, no, should it be said to be devouring.

Mercer's blood consumed the droplet at an almost imperceptible rate, and then continued to dry up as if nothing had happened.

Mercer could be sure that the drops had been consumed by his own blood, and that his own blood had not changed in any way. Then he let out a sigh of relief.

"Whew...... It seems that this potion is of no use to me now, hehe"

……

"It's really easy to undress, hehe."

Mercer was going to take off his clothes and take a bath, but these clothes automatically retracted into his body, and he smiled bitterly, this is the price of gaining strength, and taking a bath is just a habit.

Soaking in the tub, Mercer could feel his body relax in the warm water, but it was strange, as if what was natural had become an imitation.

"It's over, but watching those movies, I've been busy in the years since."

Mercer soaked in the tub and fell asleep, the lukewarm water gradually becoming cold.
