In the S.H.I.E.L.D. office, Nick sat behind his desk and looked at the report sent by Natasha, on which was a series of names, many of which had been crossed with a red pen, Nick carefully skimmed through it, looked up and said, "Eighty percent of the goals have been solved, right?" ”

"Yes, the combination of symbiotes and agents has begun to bear fruit, and now seventy percent of the agents of our field support department have been equipped with symbiotes, and Shentar has cooperated well with them, which has greatly enhanced the basic physical fitness of the agents, and with the portal, every field agent is an assassin who has come and gone without a trace."

"And the remaining 20 percent of the targets are still being monitored, and when the time comes, the agents will take action, and although many people are now paying attention to the bizarre deaths, most people think that the mysterious serial killers did it, but there are still some smart people who have noticed what the victims have in common, how are you going to divert your attention?"

Nick behind the table smiled and said, "Don't look away, we'll just do what we're supposed to do, and soon they'll find out that death isn't the most important thing." ”

The sensor lights in the hallway lit up one by one, and the hurried footsteps passed from the stairs to the large and bright conference room, where the heads of various departments of S.H.I.E.L.D. and important agents sat around the conference table.

Soon Nick walked in, reached out and knocked on the table, everyone looked up at him, Nick looked around and said, "Okay, I think everyone knows that we are here today to discuss the restructuring of the New York superhero team, does anyone have any good ideas?" ”

"Why don't we just take all the superhero teams into S.H.I.E.L.D.?" One of the ladies raised her hand and said, "Now that S.H.I.E.L.D. has become a semi-public organization, even ordinary people know who we are, and in that case, we have enough authority to co-opt superheroes." ”

"The benefits of this are obvious, we can assign teams to superheroes according to their abilities and manage logistics in a unified manner, which can greatly improve efficiency."

But an older male agent opposite him shook his head and said, "It's no fun, if you want to learn from China, you also have to look at the credibility of the government, if we send agents to knock on their door now, they will only think that we are going to assassinate them, and we say that we will take them in, and they will only think that we want to use them for human experiments." ”

"Older superheroes and the new generation have never dealt with each other, but they only have one thing in common, that is, after scolding Congress and scolding the army, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't need to stand up and offend people and be their target."

The other department heads nodded one after another, and Nick cleared his throat and said, "That's true, we don't have the ability or need to forcibly recruit them now, if nothing else, what's the use of getting a group of street heroes back?" Can they do what they are told, where they are told? If not, then why not use agents? ”

At this time, Moonlight Knight Mark, who was originally from the CIA, raised his hand and said, "What about establishing an informant employment system?" ”

"Tell me more." Nick said as he knocked on the table again.

"In fact, the CIA has a unique system of hiring informants around the world." Mark recalled, "Field Operators would make friends with local people and screen potential informants as they traveled around the world. ”

"Once the other party is registered in the informant system, as soon as there is some incident in the area that requires interference, there will be a resident operator who will immediately contact the local residents who may become informants, and develop them into informants on the spot, so that they can participate in the incident and spread our influence through this."

"The advantage of this system is that although the informant is targeted, there is no need to provide them with logistics when there is no incident, and in the event of an accident, these screened people are very likely to fall to us, and we only need to provide them with one-time supplies, which can be exchanged for good results."

"Sounds a bit like a mercenary." Nick said with an eyebrow.

"Pretty much." Mark nodded and continued: "It can be regarded as a mercenary in the intelligence community, because the investment is not much, so it can be discarded at any time, and it doesn't matter if it is discovered, they are locals, and they don't know any important information on our side." ”

"And the advantage of this system is that we can infiltrate endlessly, and there is always one out of a hundred targets that can be used, but it is impossible for the other party to check them one by one, especially in the kind of country where basic education is lacking, the people lack patriotism, and there is no basic judgment."

"Are we really going to use this kind of spy infiltration against superheroes?" One of the agents questioned.

"Don't say it so ugly." Nick shrugged his shoulders and said, "We can explain it another way, we recruit security personnel in the superhero team who are interested in helping with the solar system development program, and in return for their help, we can also provide them with the supplies they desperately need, I don't think every superhero is as rich as Tony Stark, right?" ”

One of the women, who had a financial badge on her chest, pushed her glasses and said, "But isn't that more expensive than the logistics we provide to the superhero team?" Our original intention was to reduce spending and improve efficiency at the same time, if we can't do both, at least reduce spending, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s financial situation is not optimistic. ”

"We don't necessarily give them money." Nick folded his arms and leaned back, stood in front of the table and said, "What version of the current Spider APP has been updated?" ”

A programmer in a plaid shirt sitting at the end of the long table finally took his eyes off his coffee, rubbed his hands and said, "It's 1.0.8 now, and it's been eight versions of the update. ”

"And what about the income and expenditure?" Nick looked at the finance sitting at the table again, the finance took out a large report from the bottom of the data, looked at it and nodded, and said: "The financial statements are much better than those of the field department, and the Spider-Men rarely open their mouths, often doing a bunch of work, only changing things that are not too valuable to us." ”

"Then we can also manage the superhero team in this way, release the official employment APP, any superhero can register on it, receive employment tasks, and earn points to exchange rewards."

Nick smiled and said, "I can see that these young people now, if you come up with a 'Superhero Registration Act' or hold a survey form on their heads and ask them to fill it out, they will definitely rebel, but you have to say that there is a game that requires all of their abilities, and they fill it all out without blinking an eye." ”

Everyone at the conference table laughed, and a young black agent sitting in the center of the long table spread his hands and said, "You asked me to go to work and make money, I just want to lie in bed and sleep in, if you let me play two more games in the game to earn points for those cool skins, I would get up earlier than anyone else." ”

"Then it's decided." Nick nodded, looked at the members of the program department and said, "You have worked hard in the past few days to make a general framework, and we will first try it out within the familiar superhero team." ”

The programmer pushed his glasses and said: "It's not difficult, we already have experience in building the Spider APP and the Octopus APP, and the framework can be copied from the past, but now that New York is so safe, where can we find tasks for them to publish?" ”

The female person in charge of the field department touched her chin and said, "If you really can't do it, just find them some trivial things to do, go to run an errand or something, there are not many such jobs, right?" ”

"Nope." Natasha shook her head and rejected the proposal, saying, "The first assignment process must be formal enough, because it is a rule, and at the same time, let them see the seriousness of the official approach to this matter, so that they will take the next hiring assignment seriously." ”

"If you really do the kind of errand delivery mission in the game, then I guess after the initial novelty has passed, they will definitely get bored, feel like they are being treated like nobodies, and then completely abandon it."

"That's right." Nick nodded, agreeing with Natasha, before he said, "The first batch of missions has to be standardized, moderately difficult, and especially not too easy, and they have to understand that there is a risk of bleeding and injury, and this is a security hire job, not a play game." ”

"It can also dissuade a group of people who just follow the trend and play superheroes without the ability and determination at all, and reduce their casualties."

"So, the first missions have to be confrontational?" The female head of the Field Support Department tapped her forehead with the barrel of her pen and said, "But where are we going to find an enemy for them?" And even if they find an enemy, they may not realize how dangerous the enemy is through the mission description. ”

"The enemy is best known as vicious by his appearance." Mark stretched out his hand and said, "The best one that can scare crying children, every CIA operator has heard from their seniors that the first mission we are going to carry out is to defeat the eight-handed aliens who can hypnotize light waves, it sounds a little ridiculous, but it does tell who is more timid." ”

Nick nodded, lost in thought, as if searching for a suitable enemy in his head, but as he thought about it for more and more, Nick's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

After a while, he sighed, smiled helplessly and said, "Don't say it, the earth is really safe, but you can't blame me, you have to blame our psychological consultant...... By the way, has there been any news from Schiller lately? ”

The people sitting at the bottom looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads, and Nick looked up at the date on the clock, and then whispered: "Schiller has been gone for too long, I'm afraid the plan he prepared this time is unimaginably big......"

"Didi ——!!"

Suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded from the communicator on Natasha's waist, Natasha frowned, picked up the communicator and said.

"Hey, what's wrong? Grant, why start emergency communications? ”

Hearing Grant Ward's voice on the other end of the communicator, Natasha stood up with a "poof" and said with wide eyes.

"What do you say?! Reed Richards sent a Level 1 warning through the lab's security monitoring platform, and the warning was an antimatter cosmic Zerg invasion?! ”

"Reed Richards wants to interview Nick Fury, Director, do you want to get through to his communications?" Natasha asked, turning to Nick.

Nick nodded, and Natasha hung up the communication and walked quickly to the projector at the front, connecting the communicator to the projector, and soon a huge bust of Richard Richards appeared in the center of the room.

Nick saw Dr. Otto and Dr. Banner standing behind Reed, and Reed said with a rather serious expression.

"In the process of observing the antimatter universe, I found that one of the super beings called the Annihilator, who united with an entity named the Greedy to open a passage from the antimatter universe to the positive matter universe, at this time, hundreds of millions of terrifying bugs are invading our universe."

"And according to the images sent back by Stark's observer robot left in the universe, the three empires have not yet been able to gather resistance, and the terrifying insect tide is like a terrifying wave of annihilation, destroying hundreds of surrounding dimensions in just a few minutes."

"If left unchecked, today will be the day of annihilation of the entire universe......"

"You wait." Nick held out a hand to stop what Reid was about to say, and Reed thought that Nick was going to ask him how he knew, and as soon as he wanted to explain, Nick asked.

"What did you just say was the existence of the super creature union called the Annihilator?"

"Ravenous."

Nick didn't even look at Reed, turned to the room and waved at the room.

"Schiller's big plan is here, get ready to work."
