Chapter 15: The Last Supper
Coulson and the others quickly sorted and stored all the food, including those phoenix feet, now they have no food at all, and the phoenix feet can at least supplement protein.
Then Coulson came over with four bottles of beer plus a little biscuits, chips, and beef jerky, and after distributing food to each person by slice and grain, the four Coulson and Will took their seats and planned to continue eating, of course, the main food was the black grass roots and moss, and they had no intention of wasting the food.
Charles has no grass roots and moss, but a packet of biscuits, a packet of potato chips and a packet of beef jerky, plus the beer in Charles's hand, these are the dinners that Coulson arranged for Charles, Coulson felt that Charles was a food provider and deserved some privileges.
Charles also sat in the position that Coulson had arranged for him, looking at the black food in front of the others, and then looking at the more "sumptuous" dinner in front of him, Charles was very distressed in his heart, and looked at Coulson with his eyes and asked.
"The things I provide should be enough to last until the portal opens, why do you have to be so frugal and generous?"
"Charles, a plan is a plan, reality doesn't necessarily go as planned, it's not a bad thing to save a little, and these things are not unpalatable. After hearing Charles's words, Coulson explained with a smile that crisis awareness is a necessary condition for agents, and Coulson will not forget this, and he has not eaten such things as grass roots and moss.
"Okay. Charles said in a sad tone.
He felt that it was impossible for Coulson to give up the food in front of him, so he could only reluctantly open the food in front of him, and then control his telekinesis to distribute it to everyone, feeling that everyone had obtained the same amount, Charles took the plate that Coulson put in the middle of the table as public food very painfully, looking at the food that belonged to him, Charles looked at the five people around him who were still staring at him.
"Can any of you eat any more of this?" Charles asked, and his expression told everyone that he didn't want to eat a little bit of this black thing.
Everyone looked at Charles's expression and began to lower their heads to prevent themselves from laughing, and finally Will stretched out his plate first and asked Charles to give him some grassroots moss, his reason was that he had long been used to eating these things, and it was trivial to eat more, and the others also reached out and took some out of Charles's plate.
Charles only left about a quarter of the portion undivided, and Coulson saw that Charles's food was over, so he gathered everyone together and began to eat the food.
Everyone quietly began to eat food, enjoying the first formal dinner on this alien planet, everyone didn't want to discuss some troublesome things at this time, except for Charles who had a painful expression when he ate grass roots and moss, everyone else finished this dinner in silence.
After dinner, Coulson and Charles began to discuss the hive, Melinda and Will cleaned up the table, and Fitz and Simmons continued to study the portal.
"Charles, is there anything to be gained from going out this time?" Coulson asked with concern about Charles's gains.
"Good news, I've locked up the hive, S.H.I.E.L.D. shouldn't be in danger if I arrange someone to come over, bad news, I can't completely eliminate this guy, if he can get out of the place where I locked him, then there will still be danger. Charles said worriedly.
"What are the chances of him getting out?" said Coulson, who heard Charles's concern, wondering how likely it was that he would be escaped by the hive.
"One in 10,000, maybe more, he can disassemble his body like dust, and he has many memories, although I don't think he will break through the limits of magic, but no one can be sure that he will be truly confined . Charles finally made his own judgment.
"Understood, it's really a tough guy to deal with, I'll destroy the boulder portal when I go back, and let him continue to fend for himself on this planet. Coulson gave up on his own plans to develop the planet, and instead decided to hide the megalith portal when he returned, never to be used again.
"That's the best, how did Fitz and Simmons study. Charles stopped talking about the hive and asked how to go back.
"They guessed that the portal here might be opened by the gravitational pull of the planet, so they planned to fix the equipment here and calculate the law of the portal. Coulson also told Charlie Fitz about the progress of his research, and now they had to wait.
The next day, Charles and the others were casually strolling outside, Coulson, Will and Simmons collected some plant samples of the planet, planning to bring them back to Earth for study, Melinda protected Fitz in the crypt to continue repairing the machine, and Charles patrolled around and found a place closer to the three Coulsons and began to look at the scenery, by the way to prevent them from having an accident, after a while, Charles, who was looking at the sky, suddenly stood up and flew to the sky, he saw Laura.
In the sky, the heavily armed Laura was flying with the same heavily armed Jessica and the black Tripp, and when she saw Charles flying into the sky, she also flew towards Charles at great speed.
"Really, Laura, I didn't tell you I wasn't going to die. After Charles flew to Laura's side, he wrapped Jessica and Tripp with his telekinesis, and then looked at Laura and said reproachfully while moving.
"I don't care, you come here alone and don't take me, I'm angry. Laura threw herself into Charles's arms and said coquettishly.
"Okay, you're right, you're the biggest, by the way, Jessica, is the portal still open?" Charles rubbed Laura's hair, not pointing out that she didn't want to follow her here, but asked Jessica if the portal was always open or for a short while.
"It's always on, Agent Hill is very concerned about your disappearance, Ravenhold Manor is also in chaos, Rena is calming those people, now that all the forces of S.H.I.E.L.D. are protecting the portal, we need to hurry. Jessica answered Charles' question immediately.
"Okay, let's get people out of here right away. Charles nodded, and flew to Coulson with the three of them.
"Coulson, we'll go back now, the portal is still open. Charles spoke to the three Coulsons, who had already put away the plant samples, and then opened the portal and came to Melinda's side.
"May, let's go, Will, do you have anything to bring?" Coulson said to Melinda, then turned to look at Will, who had been following them without speaking, and asked him if there was anything he had to bring back to Earth.
"Oh, I'll go get it right away, wait a minute. When Will heard Coulson's question, he froze for a moment and immediately ran to find the things he wanted to bring back to Earth, which he had already prepared.
"Laura, open the portal to where you just got here. Seeing that Will had already gotten his belongings, he motioned for Laura to open the portal that led to their place.
Laura also took out the hanging ring and opened the portal, this time there was no accident, on the other side of the portal, the boulder portal continued to be maintained, Charles and the others looked at each other, and passed through the portal back and forth.
After coming out of the boulder portal, Charles saw Agent Hill with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents waiting in full gear, and several Inhumans who couldn't remember their names but Charles still remembered were also waiting for Charles, among them, Charles only knew a more famous electric ability, Lincoln, they were Daisy's secret team formed to capture the whip, this time Charles was missing, they knew about it for the first time, and they also told Laura that this happened, and the next thing was that Laura asked that the rescue operation must take herγ
