Chapter Eighty-Eight: Bad-blood
"I'm not optimistic about this rescue operation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Don't forget what happened to you on the way back to the temporary base. I'm willing to bet Prometheus is playing with the idea of encirclement and reinforcements. He is now leading people around the lighthouse, waiting for us to come to the door, and then kill us one by one without the protection of electromagnetic jammers. Sitting in the same car as several members of Coulson's team, Garrett said, "Who's in the lighthouse?" ”
Hearing this, Coulson glanced at the other party.
"If you're scared, why are you still here?" He laughed and made such a little joke, and then got serious. "Whoever is inside, we have to rescue. It's on the agreement, and I don't think you'll forget it. ”
Then Fitz, who was sitting next to Garrett, spoke, "Oh, don't be too afraid, Agent Garrett, I've been making small hand-held electromagnetic jammers for the past two days. There will be some gaps in the effect, but it can still play a distracting role. ”
"Scared? How could I be afraid. Garrett laughed too. He took the little thing like a universal meter from Fitz and played with it. "I appreciate you, kid, you have excellent professional skills. So, are you interested in coming under my command for a while? ”
Fitz was flattered, but still pushed back. And Garrett seems to have just said it casually, and didn't say any more.
Suddenly, Garrett noticed a problem. He looked at the space in the carriage and was stunned for a moment.
"Wait, there's still a place in the car, where did you put that former mercenary?" He frowned and said, "Maybe he has some skills, but are you sure he can cooperate with the other agents without you, or get the cooperation of the other agents?" He doesn't have S.H.I.E.L.D. credentials yet, does he? Also, Skye isn't there either? ”
Garrett is talking about Zorro, of course. The implication of his words is that although Zorro was approached by Coulson in his independent team, he was not yet a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., and would definitely not get along with other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
Now there are only Coulson, Fitz and Simmons, May who is driving, and Ward, who is still bandaged and sitting in the passenger seat. And of course add a Garrett.
Coulson smiled, "John, you seem to care a lot about Diego?" ”
Garrett nodded unhurriedly: "Although Director Fury has given you this team and a high degree of autonomy because of your sacrifice before the battle of Zetari, there is no need for me to remind you that S.H.I.E.L.D. oversees all threats - known and unknown. In my opinion, he, and that Skye, they are threats. And I dare say that if more people in S.H.I.E.L.D. KNEW WHAT I KNEW, THEY WOULD HAVE THE SAME OPINION AS ME. ”
"Well, I understand this without you reminding me." Coulson smiled lightly, "So I'm going to let them show up less when you guys show up." Like going to the lighthouse this time. Since their identities are not yet recognized, let's not let them know the location of one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret bases. ”
"You won't ...... All right! ”
If Garrett hadn't seen Coulson's reservations at this time, he would have been an agent for so many years. Dare Coulson's solemnity when he gathered people in the temporary base before was all pretended!
Well, I can't say that there is no at all, but he is certainly much more confident than he appeared at the time.
Garrett secretly paid attention to the expressions of the other members of Coulson's team, and found that none of them were unusual, even May, who was the most loyal to Coulson.
"So, where are they?"
He asked directly to Coulson, who was talking to Simmons. And Coulson, although he has no intention of hiding it, is also willing to sell it.
"You'll probably find out when we get rid of the lighthouse."
Then Coulson didn't say anything more, but turned his head again to discuss something with Simmons.
Well, Garrett didn't plan to dwell on this issue any longer, at least not in front of Coulson. And the most flawed at the moment is Simmons, maybe we can start with her later, or simply find someone to ask her - someone she trusts.
Garrett wasn't really targeting Zorro or even Skye either. But for one of his plans, these two unknown factors already constitute variables. Even if it is not necessary to eradicate them completely, at least they must be thoroughly understood.
So, where exactly are these two people now?
Just as Corsendo's mixed team of agents and SWAT officers had almost arrived at the "lighthouse", a police officer walked to an electromagnetic jammer installed in a warehouse at the previous temporary base and was about to activate it.
“…… Do you have to attack me/I can't breathe when I'm unprepared/I've been thinking about it/You're still laughing at me for salting my wounds......"
Humming to the beat, a Taylor Swift "Bad-Blood" (ignore the year) was sung, and he was quite relaxed and self-assured when he thought that the danger had gone away with the S.H.I.E.L.D. people...... Until he activated the electromagnetic jammer, until he noticed the light outside the warehouse, casting a shadow from behind him to his feet.
Whoever the guy behind him was, had been standing there for a while.
"Hey, you're scaring me......"
He turned around and said just like that, but the other party didn't give him a chance to continue talking at all, but directly covered his entire face with the palm of his left hand. No, it was to "grab" his whole face and lift him up!
“…… My dear, we're having a grudge right now/This should have been crazy love/Look what you've done/Cause us to look at each other angrily now......" The person who came first sang that song for a while, and then he felt it. "Well, I have to say, this song you sang is really suitable for the situation. That's right, I'm going to attack you, and I'm going to take advantage of your unpreparedness. But don't worry, you don't have to worry about it all the time - because the next moment 'you' won't be there. ”
After saying this in a very atmospheric manner, the person who came shook his wrist casually and pressed his palm down. It's just such a simple action, and the person who came actually twisted the policeman's neck bone like this!
“…… Do you think we'll ever reconcile/I've got the knife you stabbed behind me/So don't think it's over/The wound still hurts...... Time heals wounds/But the hatred between you and me can't be resolved......"
He threw the policeman's body down, and the visitor watched it and sang it again. Then, after turning off the electromagnetic jammer and destroying its power supply, he walked out of the warehouse.
It was the last jammer he knew, and he could run rampant in the makeshift base that had once stood in his way.
That's right, he is Prometheus, who began his career as a child with the goal of fighting justice after witnessing his parents who were drug dealers being shot and killed by police officers in front of him. Zorro previously told Coulson that he has excellent tactical acumen and a lot of high-tech equipment, but this is not the main reason why he is called "the Batman of super criminals". That childhood experience, which was almost the exact opposite of Bruce Wayne, was.
Of course, the first two are also his characteristics and even the foundation of his life.
