Chapter Seventy-Four: Two More Deals
Time goes back, not in two blossoms, but in Josh before Thorpe did it.
Xiaoqiang and the ghost arrived at Makarov's secret villa, and after a fierce battle, although they failed to find Makarov, they intercepted very important information.
However, Xiaoqiang was injured when he was evacuated, and the ghost had already lost too many of his comrades, and he didn't want to see his comrades die in front of him again.
Without any hesitation at all, the ghost dragged Xiaoqiang frantically towards the predetermined evacuation position.
Although Makarov's soldiers were chasing and intercepting them along the way, they were very lucky to come to the predetermined location without any risk!
The helicopter went wild, and both Ghost and Qiang knew it was their reinforcements coming, which made them all breathe a sigh of relief.
What they didn't expect was that General Sheffield actually came in person! You know, this can be considered the front line, and hell knows where snipers are waiting for you!
"It's really an unpleasant and unforgettable scene."
"What's wrong with this?"
"It's nothing, let's take a good look."
Josh shook his head helplessly when he saw the helicopter coming. He knows very well what will happen next, and in short, it is a human tragedy.
His words also caught the attention of Coulson, Tony, Gates, and Griggs, who all looked at Mr. Wizard with some curiosity, and even Tony directly asked everyone's doubts.
In their communication with Josh, both Gates and Griggs knew that this Tony Stark was the Iron Man, but they hadn't made it to the last step - saying it out loud at the media reception.
And this Agent Coulson is the S.H.I.E.L.D. guy, and of course they don't say anything.
They were just a little curious about what Josh meant by this, the two special combat team members below had obviously been rescued, why did this guy Josh still have a very regretful expression.
Did he also want to finish the task sooner rather than laterβwait for the chosen ones to die, and then go home?
"What's wrong with that?" Coulson directly asked what Gates and Griggs didn't want to ask.
"Well, let me ask you, what do you agents and soldiers hate the most?" Josh thought for a moment and asked directly.
"Betrayal?"
"Bingo, don't you think you guessed right?"
"What? This general is going to betray them? β
"Won't you see for yourselves?"
Josh spread his hands, not bothering to say anything at all.
The three Coulsons could only look down again, how they wished that Josh was just joking, but in fact they found that the world seemed to have gone crazy!
General Sheffield took the box containing important information, and without saying a word, he shot directly at Xiaoqiang!
The ghost immediately found out that something was wrong, he looked at the scene in front of him in shock and subconsciously wanted to pick up the gun to avenge Xiaoqiang, but unfortunately his movements were not as fast as General Sheffield, and he was shot twice in the chest in a row!
General Sheffield watched with satisfaction, and then ordered his men to begin destroying the corpses.
None of them noticed that when they fired, the space around them became unusually hazy, as if it were unreal!
"Here it is.... Where? β
Xiao Qiang and the ghost both looked around a little sluggishly, and they both clearly remembered that they had just been killed.
Is it true that after death, there will still be thoughts?
Soon, they found themselves floating in mid-air, looked down at them and immediately smiled bitterly.
"So we're all dead."
Below is the scene of General Sheffield's destruction of the corpses, they threw the bodies of 'Xiaoqiang' and 'Ghost' directly into a bombed tunnel, and then poured gasoline.
General Sheffield, satisfying himself with a cigar, threw the lighter directly into the pit, and then they saw that 'his' body began to burn.
This scene was very shocking, especially when they saw that their corpse was directly disposed of like this, they also felt very weird.
Who could stand such a magnificent scene, they themselves even shook unconsciously, as if they could still feel the pain of the flames burning.
"I mean, shouldn't you two go back and take a look? Gary Sanderson, and Mr. Simon Riley? Forget it, I think it's more comfortable to call you by your codename. β
Just when the ghost and Xiaoqiang were melancholy, suddenly a voice came from behind them that made their hairs stand on end!
Immediately turned around and subconsciously wanted to pull out their weapons, but only then did they notice that they didn't have any weapons on them at all, and even their injuries were healed!
Looking closely, there were five people standing in front of them, three of them were still military equipment (Coulson didn't have time to change equipment at all), while the other two looked a little weird.
A man in steel armor, and a young man in casual clothes.
What lineup is this?
The ghost and Xiao Qiang glanced at each other, and to be honest, they were a little confused now, because their current situation made them not understand the situation at all.
They think it's reasonable to say they're dead, because their bodies are still burning underneath. But it's okay to say that they are not dead, because these five people in front of them don't look like dead people at all!
"Who are you?" The ghost's military rank is much higher than that of Xiao Qiang, and when there is a commander, he naturally comes forward to ask.
"Ghost, I think you seem to have been a member of the SAS, right?" Josh didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically.
"Yes, I used to be part of SAS." Probably because he felt dead, and the unusually young-looking man had also said his name, and the ghost didn't bother to hide anything more.
"Is that so? Gates, over to you. You can be considered colleagues, after all, are you all from SAS? β
Without saying a word, Josh directly handed over the task of introducing himself and the others to Gates, after all, the two of them came out of SAS, maybe they knew each other.
And Josh had noticed before that when Josh said the name Simon Riley, Gates' demeanor did change.
Of course, this also has some bad taste for this guy, because whether it is Gates or Ghost, the voices of both of them are dubbed by one person.
At that time, Josh almost thought that this ghost was Gaz who was shot in the head by Zakhaev! But then it turns out that a ghost is a ghost, and Gates is Gates.
"You're Gates? That CQB test record holder? β
"You're Riley? I heard that you went on an anti-narcotics mission, but in the end the whole army was wiped out. Oh yes, you had two teammates who ran back, but they were killed. β
"I killed them, they have been brainwashed, and they killed my family, so I chose revenge. Eventually, I joined my current special operations team. β
"I see."
After a brief understanding of each other, everyone found that their tone and voice were highly overlapping!
Even they themselves noticed it, but they didn't seem to pay much attention to it.
"Can you tell us what's going on here? I remember you seemed to have died a long time ago, years ago. β
"Indeed, I am dead, but I was saved by Lord Augustus."
Under the voice of this basically one person, Gates told Ghost and Xiaoqiang everything he knew.
To be honest, Gates himself felt very when he explained it, but the problem is that these are hellish truths!
As Gates continued to tell, the faces of the ghost and Xiaoqiang became more and more solemn and strange.
Because Gates and that Griggs are exactly the same as what happened to them! And after looking at Tony's appearance, they didn't know what to say, and the most terrifying thing was that they had been watching them for so many years after they died!
That young man named Josh Augustus was a god-like being!
He was able to control time and space at will, and then followed them all the time to witness everything, just to wait for them to die and then take them all away!
To be honest, the ghost and Xiaoqiang don't know what to say about the guy.
Say he's boring?
It seems that it is completely true, he actually went to the Marvel Universe for a vacation, and then because he was annoyed by some ordinary people, he simply used violence to find a group of elites who had been on the battlefield to help him deal with these ordinary people.
Then, in order to find these soldiers, he actually directly located their war-torn world, and also aimed his eyes at them.
Should the ghost and Xiaoqiang be happy or sad?
They can't tell, but they are happy because they can continue to live and their brothers can be reunited.
There is sorrow because they are leaving this world and going to another world, and now they can't fight anymore because they're dead!
When Gates explained everything, the ghost's voice was a little hoarse and said to Josh, "Lord Augustus, are you going to wait until all my companions are dead before leaving?" β
"Yes, there are not many goals. It's probably only in this world for a year or two. β
"I can't go to war, I want to take revenge myself!"
"Sorry, no. Because it's your captain's task for them. β
Faced with such a request, Josh unceremoniously refused.
He knew all too well as someone who had played the game and watched them fight, and if they were allowed to enter the battlefield, Thorpe would not have been stabbed by that knife, and Josh really didn't want him to do it.
The ghost frowned, and when he was about to say something, Josh suddenly asked, "I remember that your daughter and wife and family of four are all dead, right?" β
"Yes." There was silence for a few moments before the ghost spoke slowly.
"Well, you can work for me in the future. You too, I can consider resurrecting one of your relatives based on your performance. Of course, the quantity depends on your ability to work and the actual efficiency of your work. Well done, it's okay to resurrect as many as you want. β
"You..... Can you resurrect someone who has long since died? At this time, Coulson was not calm, and he asked with an incredulous expression.
"You can ask Tony, he's all getting ready right now." Josh shrugged and looked at Tony, who nodded earnestly.
Josh's words made the ghost's eyes light up, and after thinking for a moment, the ghost asked, "What do we need to do now?" β
"There's no need to do anything, we're going to see what your old captain is going to do with them. We just have to wait, got it? β
"Got it, long.... Excellency. β
