Chapter 109: Excavation

(Click, collection, recommendation, dissemination, all kinds of support ("β–”β–‘β–”)/)

"No, we're done." Glancing at Natasha and Skye, Fury said.

"That's good, I just have something to look for you." Somewhat strangely watching Natasha and Skye walking out in a whispered exchange, Stark shifted his gaze back to Fury's face, who had just turned his head from the same direction, "Listen, I need some tools." This one...... That one...... That's all, now, immediately! ”

Stark's tone wasn't at all pleading, but Fury didn't say anything else, "So you've solved the puzzle your father left you?" ”

Stark scratched the back of his head: "Almost." Maybe he left some other clues that I hadn't seen, but I already had a clue. In just a few hours, I was able to emerge from the shadow of death. ”

Fury stared at Stark with that one-eyed for a moment, then nodded, "No problem, what you want will be delivered here within five hours." But you know that even if you solve the palladium poisoning problem, your body still won't support you in the next fight. There are now less than 15 hours left until Vanke's appointment. ”

"We'll talk about that later."

Stark glanced at Pepper and responded. Looks like Pepper talked to him about it. And since Stark responded like this, it shows that he is inclined to play.

In less than fifteen hours, there's not much to do!

Meanwhile, at the site of Project Montauk, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents led by Hill have locked down the entire blast area. Judging from the explosion site, the detonation point must be below the ground, and the location is not too shallow, so it is unlikely that it was an accident by an oil tanker. Of course, such a deep explosion also caused problems for the excavation work. What makes Hill most helpless is ......

"Sir, after instrumental detection, no other signs of life have been found in the vicinity."

"Underground probed too?"

"Yes, sir. Below a depth of fifty meters underground, nothing has been found. ”

"Is it possible that something or instrument is interfering with the detector?"

"It's a possibility."

After thinking about it, Hill gave the order.

"The detection team was divided into five teams, one team stayed here, and the other four teams were divided into four directions to expand the detection area. Check back and report back immediately if you find anything. Also, let's start digging down here. ”

It is said that it is digging down, but of course it is not finished by going down vigorously. That would be a waste of time and resources. It is still necessary to go out and use the instrument to send a seismic wave to determine the density of the soil, and use this method to determine whether there is a possibility that there was an underground passage in that location. Soon, the site of the Montauk Project, which had not seen the light of day for more than two decades, was roughly structured. The point is, a trap resembling a helicopter lift was discovered, and the wreckage of two large piles of equipment inside was also unearthed.

"Sir, there are signs that a large amount of strong current was once generated here, but according to rough calculations, a large part of the current was not consumed by the instrument, but disappeared out of thin air."

The amount of electricity that disappears out of thin air is estimated to be banished. In other words, this is likely to be the place where Grant had an accident, or at least one of his stops.

"Keep looking." "Even if I can't find him, I'll know who he's fighting against." ”

Although his subordinates didn't know who this "he" meant, they still acted as they were told. It's a pity that the other party did it too neatly and neatly, leaving no trace at all. But with that trap as the center, I've been rummaging up and down, left and right, front and back, but I haven't found anything new.

Just as everyone gathered together, waiting for Hill to make a final decision, a blue dot suddenly appeared in the air, and then expanded outward in a small way. The threads were a glowing fluorescent blue, and they centered on the dot and expanded into a sphere like a vein, and it was getting bigger and bigger. In addition, whenever the threads are touched by something, they will cling to it and wrap it up. Then, the object becomes more and more transparent, and finally disappears completely. Soon several boulders were destroyed by scrap metal.

Hill wasn't completely unaware of Grant's banishment abilities. But now the situation in front of her is completely different from what she knows.

It feels like ...... Out of control?

Even Hill is like that, let alone the unwitting agents. One of the agents couldn't resist firing a shot into the orb of fluorescent blue thread, only to see the bullet disappear as soon as it entered the range. This made the onlookers even more jealous.

"Sir, I think you should get out of here first."

"No, I'd like to see it again." Ciel's tone was very resolute and solemn, "You guys go out and get ready first." ”

The subordinates were puzzled: "What to prepare?" ”

"Missiles on warplanes, on motherships. If something doesn't go right, bury it completely. ”

Thankfully, Hill's worst-case scenario didn't happen. The sphere stopped expanding as it encased the remains of the two piles of equipment inside the trap. The next moment, the wreckage, the orb, and the threads all vanished, and an "object" appeared at the spot of the dot before for no apparent reason, and then fell to the ground.

That's Grant. At this time, he was lying there with his face against the floor, not moving.

Although it was not certain whether there was any danger, Hill immediately walked over. When she straightened Grant, she found that the other party was already dying. It's just that she didn't expect that the other party looked at her after opening her eyes, and then raised her hand with difficulty and gently stroked her face twice, and then said a word before passing out.

"It's you. I'm finally out. ”

Ciel was stunned for a moment. Then she regretted it a little. She had countless opportunities to stop Grant just now as she raised her hand, but she didn't. The results are now ......

"Let the medical team come right away. In addition, no matter who is inquiring about what has just happened, you cannot say a word. Do you understand? ”

"Understood, sir!"

An hour later, Skye, who was still at the Canadian icefield base, received a phone call. That's Natasha calling.

"Found him?"

The phone was even more connected, and Skye asked impatiently. The other end of the phone was silent for a while before he spoke.

"Found it, he's still alive."

"Still alive?"

Skye's voice was already a little choked. The word "alive" is used here, but it is 108,000 miles away from "he is okay".

"Don't cry, Skye." On the other end of the line, Natasha's voice came again, "You need to be stronger. ”

I don't know what happened between the two women, so that in just a few hours, they went from strangers to what they are now in between best friends and friends. Anyway, after listening to Natasha's words, Skye barely stopped crying: "What happened to him?" ”

"It's certainly not as bad as you think." Speaking of this, Natasha paused, "I don't know the specifics. However, according to Hill, he only passed out due to physical overdraft, and will wake up in the next twenty-four hours. ”

Hearing this, Skye was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Then why did you say that just now?" Isn't it fun to watch me lose my shape! ”

The solemn atmosphere created before was instantly broken, but Natasha's voice sounded a little strange.

"You forget, I can't see it. But I did hear someone crying. The first part of the words is still completely funny, but the second part is different, "By the way, Skye." Would you dislike it if his hand on your face became rough and shriveled, like firewood? ”

"What's this, riddle?" Skye spit out, still a little nasal in her voice, "Or is this some kind of metaphor?" ”

Natasha replied, "That's what Hill said, and I don't know what it means." However, it is possible that Grant's hand is injured, and it is the kind that is difficult to repair. ”

"Okay, Natasha. I thank you for your kindness, but you don't need to. Skye suddenly became serious, "I might cry for a while when I know the truth, but I'll cheer up when I do." So, tell me the truth! ”

"Okay." After considering the words for a moment, Natasha's voice came out of the phone again, "Most of what I just said is true, including the part of 'Ciel's original words'. But in fact, I asked about Grant's situation. His hands had been grotesquely wounded from their palms to their shoulders, and had become worse than the old man'sβ€”the skin was wrinkled and shriveled. ”

"And ...... his superpowers?"

"I don't know yet." As the words came out of Natasha's mouth, the atmosphere became solemn again, "In addition, although the medical staff said that he could wake up at any time, his body is very weak, and he is suffering from a mild fever, which will not go away. ”

"Okay, I got it." Even Skye himself couldn't believe that his tone could be so calm, "Then when can you bring him back?" ”

On the other end of the line, Natasha was pleased with Skye's performance: "Wait until he wakes up." I will keep you updated as soon as possible. By the way, what's Stark's situation now? ”

"That guy has been making noise next door for hours. But I think there will be good news soon. ”

"I also hope it's good news. There's been so much bad news lately. From the tone of voice, Natasha was feeling a little helpless, "There is big, big bad news tomorrow." ”

Natasha did have some feelings. And just as she was about to hang up the phone, Skye suddenly asked: "Stark is not in good health, Grant and Roddy are in a coma, so what will happen to the Empire State Building tomorrow?" ”

Similar questions have been mentioned countless times in the last three days, so Natasha didn't pay much attention to Skye's words: "I was going to find the pair of red and green big guys, but unfortunately they are not in the Americas, so it's too late." Now I can only say that I will do my best. But to be honest, we won't let Stark make a move, but if he does, we won't stop it. ”

Then the two chatted a few more words, and then hung up the phone. Over there, Natasha continues to sit in Stark Industries, preparing for Tony Stark's transfer. Skye, on the other hand, looked in a certain direction in the icefield base, not knowing what to think, and did not move for a long time.
