Chapter Twenty-Seven: Fury's Telephone Line
(Click, collection, recommendation, dissemination, all kinds of support (^_^))
Three hours later, the minivan was more than two hundred kilometers away from that position in a straight line. Although there were no pursuers along the way, neither of the two people in the car had any intention of stopping.
Now it is Grant who is driving, and Skye, who is sitting in the passenger seat, is using his mobile phone to surf the Internet, trying to find out the final result of the female knight Vs Winter Soldier.
"Nothing! From the time we were attacked in the restaurant, to the traffic jam I made, to the Winter Soldier attacking us, and finally the female knight showing up, there wasn't even a single message about it on the Internet. How could such a thing happen! ”
Skye covered his face with one hand, and slapped his phone heavily on the front desk of the car with the other, making a loud noise, startling Grant, who was thinking about something.
Judging from this girl's situation, it seems that she is really dissatisfied with such a waste of her mobile phone.
"Are you saying it's that S.H.I.E.L.D. again?"
At this time, Skye was a prison with a stomach, and he didn't vomit unhappily. Grant had to respond, or he felt like the girl would be able to whisper in his ear for a day.
"Perhaps."
"I'm sorry, I forgot you weren't mine...... Well, I forgot that you weren't my friend. ”
Here Skye pauses, and Grant thinks that the skipped part may be "boyfriend". And she didn't finish her words: "I also forgot that you don't know S.H.I.E.L.D." It should be that they are right. Today you are giving off that blue energy in public, and I think that should be within their area of responsibility. ”
"That's supposed to be them."
It wasn't that Grant was deliberately deceiving himself about his relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D., but he didn't want this simple girl to get into too much trouble - even if it was already enough trouble now.
"That woman is going to be fine, right? Why did she help you? Do you know her? ”
Skye is once again a curious baby. This time, though, the question she asked wasn't hard to accept, so Grant answered it quite briskly.
"At first I was a friend of mine, but then I found out that the body was not alike. There was a hint of familiarity in her voice, as if she had heard it somewhere, but it wasn't impressive. It looks like we met somewhere. She may know me, or she may just have a rough road - just like you. Who knows. ”
"That is, you don't know anything either."
Rolling his eyes at Grant, Skye complained about this, which drew a big smile from the other party. It's just that the next moment, his face became serious.
"There's another thing that's more important than that." Grant looked into Skye's eyes and said, "We have a big problem. ”
"What's that?"
Under Grant's deliberate rendering, Skye became a little nervous - it couldn't be another attack, right? Or worse?
As a result, the answer made her almost go berserk.
Here's what Grant said, "Looks like we're going to be sleeping in the wilderness tonight." ”
So he was punched hard.
Facing Grant, who pretended to be in pain and pretended to be insincere, Skye was arrogant: "You deserve it!" ”
At the same time, more than 200 kilometers away, the person they had just discussed was making a phone call.
"Agent 13. Voice command, protocol code X. ”
After a few seconds, the call finally came through. A male voice came out with a tone that didn't seem to fluctuate.
"Agent 13."
The director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury.
This is a direct line to Nick Fury...... One of its owners is Agent 13. However, even Agent 13 does not know where the other special lines are, or who they have. Also, even if it's Agent 13, I don't know how many agents like her are directly under Fury. She only knew that some of her colleagues had no rank, and some were not even members of S.H.I.E.L.D. on the surface. It's hard to say whether Fury's behavior of hiding from the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. to build his own "private army" is correct or not, but at least Agent 13 is not disgusted by this.
Now she gets down to business.
"Sir, today I met Grant Lee."
"Mr. Traitor? It's time too, although I didn't expect it to be you who will be talking to me. But......" Frey on the other end of the line paused, "but you don't seem to have taken him down." Why? ”
Talking to Nick Fury is a chore. Most of the time, his words will not be emotional, that is, there will be no ups and downs in tone. But every letter that comes out of his mouth carries a sense of oppression. Sometimes a small pause can magnify the fear in your heart - just like it just did.
Fortunately, Agent 13 had no fear in his heart, and there was no way to "zoom in".
"It wasn't allowed then, sir." I don't know if I learned it from Fury, but Agent 13's tone was also very flat, "Also, I wasn't working at the time. ”
Fury forcefully ignored Agent 13's last sentence and replied with two words very bluntly: "Say it." This meant that Agent 13 had told him what he called "the situation".
Agent 13 was familiar with his boss's stingy style of words. After taking 2.33 seconds to decipher all the meanings contained in the other person's words, she began to reply, "When I saw him, he was being pursued by a masked man. Based on the metal left arm and the overall style and temperament of the man, it is likely that the one who attacked us was the legendary Winter Soldier. At the time, it was suspected that the Winter Soldier was carrying an M134 rapid-fire machine gun and a launcher capable of firing some sort of disc prop. The latter is a weapon I have never seen before. When the disc prop was hit by my bullet, it spewed a strong jet of air that broke the lamppost six meters away. ”
"Unknown weapon...... Fury said suddenly, and it seemed that he took that point in his conversation very seriously, "to continue." ”
"Yes, sir. My attack angered the suspected Winter Soldier. Grant Lee took the opportunity to leave. By the way, Grant was sitting in the passenger seat at the time, someone was driving for him, and he wasn't alone. ”
"Romanov?"
"I don't think so. According to the news, the black widow. The woman was more than sixty kilometers away from Mr. Traitor. ”
There was no sound on the other side for a while, and Fury seemed to be silent for a while before speaking again: "An unknown person approached him for an unknown purpose, hmm." Also, I thought the traffic camera would capture the man's face. ”
"No, sir. Traffic systems along the way were hacked. ”
"It's hackers again, these people have been very active lately." Rarely, Fury's voice was a little angry, but he immediately suppressed it, "Go on." ”
"I did some research afterwards. The Suspected Winter Soldier did not act alone. It started at a Chinese restaurant, where Grant Lee was having dinner with his companion. The first blow is a concussion grenade, followed by assault rifles from two or more teams. Grant Lee used his abilities to save the rest of the restaurant ......"
"Speak of his abilities."
Interrupted while talking, Agent 13 was not angry, even if it was useless. She's used to it.
"There are four forms that I know. At first he condensed his energy into a shield, which he then expanded into a wall. This 'wall' was able to block the assault rifles, but it was crushed by grenades. Then, he released a membrane that encompassed his entire body, like an eggshell. The hardness of this film seems to be the same as that of a 'wall'. The last one is also a film, but this time it can wrap a minivan inside. It was able to block the M134, but it was broken by a punch from the suspected Winter Soldier with a robotic arm. ”
"No side effects found?"
"No, Grant Lee doesn't seem to have changed from his physical condition to his mental state. Of course, there may be some special reaction, but we don't know. ”
"The rat finally appeared. Not only did we not know the location of the rat hole, but we also couldn't figure out the cheese we had put out. Whispering to himself as if he were a riddle, Fury asked again, "What else?" ”
"No, sir. It's Agent Black who puts the finishing touches on this time, and his report is expected to arrive on your desktop by nine o'clock tomorrow morning. ”
"I see. Your report will be in by eight o'clock. End the call. ”
Fury hangs up so "neatly" every time he hangs up the phone, which makes people very unhappy. But...... Isn't it always like this?
I don't want to have some of these things gone. Agent 13 quickly turned on his computer and began drafting the report - he was going to be working overtime again tonight.
