Chapter 177: In Progress
Laura seized the Kitari Scepter from Loki's hand and left with Steve and the others, ignoring the between the two brothers.
With Rachel taking over the piloting of the Quinquin, Natasha was finally able to free up her hands to do something else.
As a former super spy, her intelligence gathering and infiltration work is quite good.
But even with her intelligence skills and the technical support provided by Laura, their tracking of Hawkeye and the others is still extremely difficult.
In front of a mine that has been abandoned for many years, the three of them each do their own work, Natasha studies the rut marks on the ground, Steve observes the surrounding terrain, and Laura stares intently at the real-time images transmitted by the drone from the cave.
Natasha was the first to finish her work, and as she stood up, moving her somewhat stiff neck, she said:
"The traces of the tires match what we found earlier, and it's almost certain that they did end up here and drove into the cave."
When Steve heard this, he withdrew his gaze from afar, and after a moment of silence, he continued:
"If he's really a master tactician, as you say, then he's chosen a very substandard hideout. Although this is the top of a hillside, there are three places within three or four hundred meters of it that are suitable for the enemy to hide and observe, and the nearby felled trees cannot provide them with sufficient cover. ”
Natasha also saw this, but she also racked her brains and didn't understand what the other party's purpose was, so she could only focus on Laura and wait for the results of her investigation.
"The car they were in was found one hundred and fifty meters from the entrance of the cave, and no one was found."
Laura casually took out a small round ball and threw it in front of the two, and the unfolded virtual light curtain was 100% restored to the scene around the first drone.
Natasha reached out to familiarize herself with the interface for a moment, and began to investigate around the three cars.
A few minutes later, Laura and Natasha stopped what they were doing almost at the same time, and they both looked at each other with a look of confusion in each other's eyes.
"What's wrong? What's going on inside, why don't you take care of me, an old man who doesn't know how to use modern technology? ”
The confused American team laughed at themselves.
"The drone has completed the reconnaissance of the entire mine, and no one has been found, only the three cars that have been abandoned here."
As soon as Laura finished speaking, Natasha's voice rang out:
"All three cars have been emptied of their belongings, leaving no useful clues."
Steve pondered for a moment, then finally grabbed his shield and flashlight and walked into the mine, completely unfamiliar with modern technology, he decided to scout for it himself.
Laura didn't disagree, but she had other things to do, and after a few words with Natasha, she took the Kitari scepter and took it to her lab.
Unexpectedly, when passing by the German-French border, the scanning and recognition program on the helmet that had been turned on found an acquaintance who had just met for a short time, so she quickly dropped in height and fell in front of this person.
"What's that, haha, what a coincidence, shhhh
That's right, this person is none other than Thor who was in high spirits half an hour ago.
It's just that his appearance is a little miserable at the moment, not to mention the gray face, the waist covered by his right hand is still oozing blood, and the meow hammer doesn't know where to fly.
Laura looked around for a while, but found no sign of Loki, so it's not hard to guess what happened here.
"Thor, I remember you shackled your brother yourself, what else did you say? Indestructible? There's absolutely no way he'll pull out the palm of your hand? ”
Thor had already let go of the hand covering the wound, and I have to say that his physique was indeed strong, and the wound had completely healed at this time, except for the small hole in the armor.
"That's different! They first set up an ambush around here, and then they rushed up and beat me! ”
Thor's big baby said that he was very aggrieved, but Laura grasped the point from his words and hurriedly asked:
"Them?"
"Yes, first the supergiant attacked me shamelessly, and the black dwarf who was lying in ambush after falling to the ground split Loki's shackles with an axe, and then... Then he poked me in the waist with a knife. ”
Laura is really speechless about this guy, and you were wronged because Loki stabbed you again? Haven't you both played like this since you were a child?
However, his words provide a lot of useful information, first of all, to confirm the identity of the superstar, and secondly, to uncover the mystery of another person.
"Supergiants, black dwarfs, and the Obsidian Five will come at once, what does Thanos want to do?"
But Laura has new doubts, because at this time, the two big hands of Ancient One and Odin are not dead, and the behavior of Thanos sending two of his generals is enough to attract their attention.
After thinking about it, she decided to go back to the lab to see if there was another way to pull them out of the shadows, only this time, Laura had an extra follower behind her.
................
Atlantic Ocean, exact coordinates unknown.
An aircraft carrier is slowly sailing.
Nick Fury sits in his office, eyes closed, fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk.
"Director, we've been wandering aimlessly for hours, what the hell are we waiting for?"
Ciel, who was sitting across from him, finally couldn't hold his breath when he saw this, and it was better to let her go out directly to the field to track down the whereabouts of Hawkeye and the others.
"Be patient, you have to be patient, Agent Hill."
Fury still looks unfazed, but in fact, he is also a little unhappy in his heart.
Laura accidentally discovered that Captain America was indeed the right Avengers leader in Fury's eyes, and the other party agreed to join, plus the two super agents of Black Widow Natasha Romanoff and Hawkeye Clint, the team was also preliminarily formed.
But his plan for the Avengers is based on strong force, and now Hawkeye is controlled by the mind, Stark can't be contacted, Laura says she's willing to help but doesn't have any interest in joining, and Hulk doesn't know where she's taken him.
This is really going to fight with the aliens who wiped out the Rubik's Cube base that night, and Steve and Natasha are probably going up to deliver food.
There was silence again in the office, and it took a long time for Fury to finally make a decision:
"Agent Hill, you go and start the Flying Project right now, and call Coulson over to me."
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing that he finally had something to do, Ciel jumped straight from his seat and hurried out.
