Chapter 41: Two Old Foxes
One o'clock in the afternoon
After Mu Guang, who had made up for his sleep, got up and went downstairs, he was surprised to find that he was still vigilant last night.
He was chatting with Lexington while stepping on a small chair and making lunch.
It's like it's been a long time.
...
Hearing the young man's somewhat surprised inquiry,
Gray Yuan Ai pinned the broken hair that hung down to his cheeks back behind his ears, looked back at Mu Guang and said softly:
"What? Surprised I'm cooking? ”
Lexington explained:
"Xiao Ai said that he wanted to make neon food for everyone to taste!"
"Then you have to look forward to it!"
...
Washington
S.H.I.E.L.D. Trident HQ
...
Nick Fury, who had been at the headquarters overnight, was looking at the death report in his hand.
Last night at the experimental base, a total of 21 researchers and 34 members of the task force were killed in addition to those six people.
Everyone here can be said to be an elite few.
After years or even decades of training, some are already veteran employees.
I didn't expect to be swept away in this strange incident! It can't help but make people a little embarrassed.
Although Nick Fury knows that there will always be sacrifices in the face of weirdness, this sacrifice has shaken his foundation in S.H.I.E.L.D.!
The Council asked him to give a detailed account and report on the death of the 21 researchers, all of whom had PhDs from major universities.
And there are already people who have taken the opportunity to shake his position.
This made Nick Fury, who was already secretly grieving because of the sacrifice of these colleagues, even more angry!
Because of this incident, Nick Fury sensed that something was wrong in S.H.I.E.L.D. in advance, and he didn't know whether it was a bad thing or a good thing.
...
"Knock knock!"
Just as Nick Fury was thinking, a knock outside the door interrupted his train of thought.
Click on the monitoring at the door!
The person who came was none other than the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury's mentor and friend:
Alexander. Pierce!
...
Seeing the visitor, Nick Fury's mood was slightly soothed, he had always respected the former director who recommended him, an "old agent" who had served in S.H.I.E.L.D. for many years!
I don't know why he suddenly came to him, but Nick Fury just wanted to ask his opinion on the matter!
...
"Please come in!"
Turning off the monitoring screen next to him, Nick Fury subconsciously put away the casualty report in front of him.
Even if he is his mentor and friend, Nick Fury is still wary, or his cautious personality has made him who he is today!
...
"Director Pierce!"
Nick Fury greeted the tall old man with a kind face as he walked in.
"Hahaha! Nick hasn't seen you in a long time."
Alexander Pierce will come over today to get the news of the incident that happened in the small town of Hawkins.
Get ready to test Nick Fury!
He is very satisfied with this "beloved apprentice"! It is really because of him that he can prepare his "insight plan" in an orderly manner! ”
So Nick Fury can't fall right now! At least until his vision is completed! Not yet!
...
“.. What do you think of the character of Muguang, Nick? ”
During the conversation, Alexander Pierce pretended to be inadvertently mentioning the dangerous teenager and testing Nick Fury's thoughts.
The conditions reached by Nick Fury and Muguang were not officially announced to S.H.I.E.L.D., but were classified as classified documents.
Pierce didn't get the news, otherwise he would have tried to stop it!
This is not in line with his idea of wanting to take in Muguang!
...
Nick Fury didn't tell Pierce about it, but simply said a few innocuous words and then turned away from the topic.
Alexander Pierce was keenly aware of Nick Fury's concealment.
His eyes moved slightly, but he soon continued to smile as if he hadn't mentioned it, and continued to care about Nick Fury's future.
...
"I'll find some old comrades to help with the operation! Nick, you were pulled up by me, and I definitely can't sit idly by! ”
The old fox's words sounded comforting, that is, Mu Guang knew his true face.
Even a thoughtful person like Nick Fury was blinded by this old fox!
At this time, there are still some small touches in my heart!
...
Not to mention the game between these two old foxes
...
Johnny Farms
Sheriff Hope has already driven over and is ready to take Little Eleven to the adoption process!
His speed is really fast, and the news that was given to him yesterday afternoon can't help but run over today.
...
Walk into the lobby
Hope curiously glanced at Gray Plains, who was obviously a raw face, but didn't mean to ask more.
Instead, they talked about the roar of last night's huge explosion.
..
"Is there a problem with the experimental base again? When I came today, I saw that the army had sealed off all the roads! ”
Sergeant Hope sat in front of Mu Guang and said curiously.
"Eat some fruit, it's good for your body! And don't smoke! Choking! ”
Like a little adult, Gray Yuan took over Lexington's work with a fruit bowl and walked over.
He also took the cigarette that Hope had just given him from Mu Guang's hand.
Lexington and Eri Yi laughed dumbly on the side, looking at Muguang and Hope's sluggish appearance, it felt very funny!
...
This is not the first time Mu Guang has eaten deflated, as early as noon, when he saw the sushi made by Gray Yuan Ai and wanted to taste it curiously, he was scolded by the girl:
"Wash your hands first! Don't be a bad boy! ”
Imagine a pretty young girl who looks very old and taps the boy's arm with chopsticks while teaching him not to be a bad boy.
It's fun to think about it..
...
Seeing the back of Gray Yuan's departure, Hope asked Mu Guang in a stupid whisper, "Hey! Where is this little tigress? Why don't you look like a child at all? ”
"How do I know! Born it! Mu Guang rolled his eyes, shrugged and threw the lighter on the coffee table.
"I hear you!" Gray Plains' faint voice came.
...
Little Eleven was obviously a little reluctant to leave, but Hope's words made her smile again.
Today, in addition to picking up Xiao Eleven to go through the formalities, he also wanted to discuss with Mu Guang.
He plans to quit his position as sheriff and come to work on Muguang's farm!
..
Mu Guang didn't expect that the original joke would really come true!
However, in the face of Hope's choice, he still welcomed it.
And in this way, Little Eleven can continue to stay on the farm.
...
"That's right, Gray Plains!" Mu Guang watched Hope leave with Little Eleven, as if he remembered something, and said to Gray Yuan, who was curious and fiddling with his laptop.
"Remember to ask Eri to take you to choose a pony of your own!"
The movement of Gray Yuan's hand paused: "Pony? ”
Eri hugged the fat cat and smiled: "This is a farm!" Do you want to use it in the future? ”
As he spoke, he ran over: "Let's go!" Go check it out! ”
Before Ash Yuan could react, he was picked up by Eri and ran out!
"I can go on my own!"
