Chapter 008: The Decline of S.H.I.E.L.D

The punisher came very suddenly. I felt that he was still dozens of kilometers away a moment ago, and suddenly came to the top of everyone's heads. And the moment before he appeared, the base of the resistance group was still very quiet. When his first shot hit the ground, the alarm in the base sounded.

The whole base was running all at once, and it looked a little chaotic.

The punisher did not come alone. He also brought two squadrons of Hydra operatives, as well as an equal number of Brazilian police. They were accompanied by tanks, warplanes, and some high-tech weapons. Thankfully, he didn't seem to know the entrance to the base beneath the jungle. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so stupid as letting his men bombard the ground.

In the quietest isolation room in the entire base, Zatana stopped channeling energy to Rhaegar and waved her hands to release some magic. After closing her eyes for a while, she opened them, and there was a solemnity in her gaze.

"The Punisher and his men are right above us. You know what that means. ”

Hearing this, neither Black Canary nor Bruce Banner spoke, and at the same time, their faces were very ugly. Rhaegar was stunned for a moment, but also reacted. Because it means that Zatana's guess was right: it wasn't the Resistance distribution base and South American headquarters that attracted the Punishers to this side, but Rhaegar himself.

Obviously he didn't do anything, but he became the focus and a sinner, and Rhaegar was also helpless about it: "So what should we do now?" ”

"You don't have to do anything, we'll do it."

A voice rang out, but it wasn't any of Zatana, Black Canary, or Bruce Banner. Looking in the direction of the voice, the big bald head with dark skin and a monocular eye patch just stood there doing nothing, and it was very presence.

Nick Fury.

But it wasn't him who spoke before, but a tall woman behind him. Now Rhaegar can see clearly. If nothing else, she will be Nick Fury's second-in-command, a SHIELD Level 9 agent in another world, Commander Maria Hill.

Well, the two of the highest daily levels of S.H.I.E.L.D. are here.

In fact, Rhaegar was more interested in a certain 'should' Level 8 agent. Phil Coulson, the most popular character in S.H.I.E.L.D. besides Black Widow and Hawkeye (and even these two). Just, brave, assertive, and charismatic. In terms of just a few seasons of "S.H.I.E.L.D." American dramas, Coulson may not be the best subordinate in the world, but he is certainly the best boss in the world - there is no one, and at the same time, it is also a very worthy friend.

Rhaegar was a little annoyed, he should have checked to see if there was a Coulson in this new world. Now it seems that he will not have another chance for a long time.

Now that Rhaegar was still unable to move, Zatanna simply blocked Nick Fury's gaze and shouted at him in a wary tone, "What do you want to do!" ”

"Relax, mage, we don't intend to be your enemy." This time it was Nick Fury himself who spoke.

But that's all there is to it. Next, his deputy will be the spokesperson.

"Director Fury guessed that you would do something to Regamalik's corpse, the one to be exact, so he had a pinhole microphone installed in this isolation chamber." With that, Maria Hill walked to the door of the isolation cell, broke off an inconspicuous piece from the door frame, and lit it up to them. "We already know everything you say, including your analysis and your plans."

"So?"

"Aren't you planning to take him away with you to draw the attention of the Punisher away from this base? The Punisher hasn't really discovered the base yet, and there's still room for your plans, or time, to carry them out. Once the Punisher can't help but use Hydra's top-of-the-line plasma exploration technology to drill down directly, Quitman will definitely send troops to stop it, and it will be too late. So, leave him and the body behind. While there is still time, we can implement your plan for you. ”

"Impossible!"

Zatanna clearly didn't trust Nick Fury and the others, so she responded categorically. But before Nick Fury could answer, the Black Canary would pull her lightly.

Out of trust in her best friend, Zatana only hesitated for a moment, then retreated to Rhaegar and continued to 'recharge' the latter, leaving the negotiation power in the hands of the Black Canary.

And the black canary opened his mouth and asked, "You are the only people?" I heard that S.H.I.E.L.D. was once the largest intelligence agency in the world. Although it has been in decline for more than 20 years, it is not so shabby, right? ”

In addition to Fury himself and his deputy Maria Hill, there are two other people on their side, the most elite fighters of S.H.I.E.L.D., who act as bodyguards for the two. However, the black canary obviously asked more than just them.

"You guessed it right. Although we are not as numerous as the Resistance, we still have some strength. With a wave of his hand, Ciel stepped back, and Fury himself stepped forward. I don't know if you're not satisfied with this answer, maybe you can tell us what you think? ”

The black canary was not intimidated by Fury's momentum.

"It's simple. Now that you've eavesdropped......"

"It's not appropriate to use 'eavesdropping.'"

“…… I've overheard our conversation, and I must know that since the Punisher has something in his hand to lock him into, there's no way he'll keep running. So, if your so-called 'power' can help find and destroy what locks him on, we can let you take him. ”

This time it's the other way around. Without waiting for Fury to respond, Zatanna shouted 'Dinah! Apparently not very happy with the Black Canary's decision. But the black canary gestured at her and gave her a reassuring look.

"Still, we're going to have to keep up." Returning his gaze to Fury, Black Canary added. "We don't worry about you."

"Yes." Fury also said dryly. "So, is this Dr. Banner with you?"

Bruce Banner thought for a moment and shook his head: "I'm not good at fighting. I will stay, so that I will not be a drag on you. ”

"That's a shame. We should have a place in S.H.I.E.L.D. where you can play what you're good at. Fury obviously had already guessed Banner's reply, but the indifference on his face was completely different from the 'regret' he said. He beckoned to the two bodyguards behind him, and the two of them went over to set up Rhaegar (and Rhaegamalik). And he himself turned around first and walked out. "Let's go, then."

Nick Fury clearly knows the inner workings of this base. It only took three minutes for him to take Zatana, the Black Canary, and the two Rhaegar to one of the base's exits. In addition, to the surprise of the latter people, the relationship between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Resistance is obviously not as good as imagined. Along the way, several Resistance agents tried to stop everyone, but they were all knocked unconscious by Nick Fury. Nick Fury doesn't seem to have informed Quitman about his intention to take Rhaegar away.

None of this is the focus at the moment. They boarded a Kun-style fighter plane with a dozen or so S.H.I.E.L.D. fighters on board. Among them, S.H.I.E.L.D. fighters can ignore it for the time being, and the point is that the Kun fighter is the exclusive weapon of Hydra.

As if seeing the surprise of Zatana and the Black Canary, Fury said lightly: "If the failure of S.H.I.E.L.D. more than twenty years ago taught us what these latecomers did, it was what others could do, and we could do it. Now we have people inside Hydra, just as their people were lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D. back then. This Kun fighter was modified by us based on the technology stolen by the informant. It has one more function than Hydra's, and that is stealth - optical stealth and radar stealth. And such Kun fighters, we have a considerable number. So, Lady Black Canary, do you think our 'power' is enough? ”

The Black Canary pursed his lips: "Just because there are so many stealth fighters doesn't mean that you can come up with a way to destroy the object that locked him like that, and it doesn't guarantee that you can do that in the end." At this, she paused, then turned her head and looked at Rhaegar helplessly. I've said it many, many times, and I know you've only been conscious for a long time, but you haven't thought about choosing a name for yourself? Also, do you have a gender? Is it really okay to refer to you with 'he'? Hey! ”

Hearing this, Zatana laughed, and Maria Hill couldn't help but turn her head away from others to see that she was snickering, and even Nick Fury's face was almost ruined.

In contrast, the person in question, Rhaegar, seems a little cute. Just now, he was looking at a nameplate engraved with the words 'Stark Industrially Made' in the Kun fighter plane, and he finally reacted.

"Rhaegar." He thought for a moment and said, "Since I am now attached to the corpse of a guy named Rhaegarmalik, although the surname is not very good, the name 'Rhaegar' is not bad, you can call me Rhaegar." ”
