As everyone knows.

The Confederation is a very well-behaved country.

Of course.

Regardless of whether he is still playing the bandits' Brazil in the end, there is a saying that the more people lack something, the more they care about something.

Similarly!

The same goes for countries.

So......

Although the core of the Federation is still "bandits", in everything, if it is not necessary, it will behave very well.

The same goes for law enforcement.

"This is Nevada, not California."

"This base was discovered under the jurisdiction of the city of Kahn, not under the beneath Los Santos."

"So ......"

Luke smiled and said, "Commander Hill, you S.H.I.E.L.D. have high-authority law enforcement powers, I don't have one, you have to understand." ”

Maria Hill was stunned for less than a second, then said "understand", then shook her head and said, "I didn't expect Director Dane to be out of this consideration, but Director Dane is ...... in the country of sticks."

Rucker smiled.

"The country of sticks is different."

"How is it different, as far as I know, the FBI, and there is no law enforcement authority abroad."

"Colonies have no sovereignty."

"Okay."

When Maria Hill heard this, she couldn't think of an excuse to refute this sentence for a while, and shook her head: "So, Director Dane plans to pat his ass and leave, leaving the mess to me?" ”

Lu Ke sighed: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's that my name is not right, and my words are not good." ”

Maria Hill smiled.

"What if I come and talk to the state commissioner of Nevada."

"Let's talk about it."

"Again?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

Maria Hill was not reluctant to hear this, smiled and said to Natasha: "Natasha, does Director Dane still have a few new friends who are still on our command plane, especially the new female friend who Director Dane is in the latest relationship and is worried about Director Dane?" ”

Luke raised an eyebrow.

Natasha glanced at Luke and said, "Yes, Commander, Lady Heather Miller is still waiting for news in the break room we arranged. ”

Maria Hill snorted: "Then don't let our Heather Miller worry and be afraid, send an agent to explain it to Heather Miller, and don't let her misunderstand our great Director Luke Dane." ”

Natasha opened her mouth and looked at Luke.

Luke had already realized what Maria Hill was doing, and the corners of his mouth were raised: "Commander Hill, you won't play me like this, will you?" ”

He didn't want to hide it from Heather Miller.

After all......

Manly, big husband, Luke never does the kind of disdainful operation that lifts his pants and doesn't recognize people.

It's not a big deal that Heather Miller knows who he really is.

Whether you know it from his mouth or from someone else's mouth are two different things.

At least.

What I said was a surprise, but if Heather Miller knew it from someone else, it would be a different story.

Commander Hill also smiled and said, "Director Dane is going to leave such a mess to me, and I can't carry this black cauldron." ”

Luke smiled: "Can't you carry it?" ”

Hill shook his head: "I can't carry it, and besides, this case, from beginning to end, Director Dane is following up with Director Pierce, and now you take the credit, we will carry the black pot, this is not appropriate." ”

Luke shook his head speechless.

"Then what good advice does Commander Ciel?"

"Joint investigation, half of the credit, half of the black pot, fair and just."

"I refuse."

"What?"

"The preliminary work is all done by me and Director Pierce."

Luke shook his head with a smile and said, "Moreover, this time, I took my woman and my little brother in the adventure, and as a result, you will snatch half of my credit as soon as you come up, is this appropriate, this is not appropriate, Commander Hill." ”

Maria Hill pursed her lips: "So, can we talk?" ”

Luke shrugged.

"We can talk."

"Well, how to divide it, you say, in short, Aegis will never take the blame for the things here, at least not 100% of the blame."

"You don't have to pay all the money, and the credit can be shared with you, and when the time comes, when the time comes, we will confess, it can be said that we have been secretly acting together."

"Condition."

Maria Hill is not the kind of fool that Nick Fury is easy to fool, and she was not carried away by this sentence, but asked very calmly: "Director Dane is so generous, it reminds me of a saying in Dongguo, courteous to others, there must be something to ask for." ”

Luke laughed, "I didn't know that Commander Hill also knew something about Eastern culture. ”

The corners of Hill's mouth rose: "Understand the culture of the opponent I deal with, so that you can better know what the opponent is thinking." ”

Before joining S.H.I.E.L.D., she was a Middle East intelligence analyst on the military staff.

And it's still the best, not one of them.

If you want to do this, you need to work hard, at the very least, you have to understand the other person's living habits and what they want in their hearts, so that you can prescribe the right medicine.

When Luke heard this, he didn't go around the bend with Maria Hill, and directly offered the price: "I have taken a fancy to this base, and it belongs to me." ”

Maria Hill raised an eyebrow.

"This underground base?"

"Yes."

Lu Ke smiled: "I brought in this base, and the loot belongs to me, so it is reasonable." ”

Maria Hill thought for a moment: "To the federal investigation ......"

Luke interrupted directly.

"Not to the FBI, but to me."

"Uh......"

"The kind that doesn't count on the file, I don't want anyone else in the FBI to know about it other than me, especially Kuntici's."

"What do you want this base for?"

"It's a great place to be a safe house."

"The definition of a safe house is one that no third person knows."

"Is Commander Hill still an outsider now?"

“……”

Maria Hill was silent for a while, thinking about it, and after a while, she said aloud: "Yes, but what Dr. Zora does with it, it belongs to S.H.I.E.L.D., the kind that is not recorded." ”

Luke raised an eyebrow: "Zola hasn't gone online yet." ”

Maria Hill said: "But Zora will not die, that's right, Aegis must know the inside story of this case, so, such a deal, Director Dane accepts." ”

Rucker's mind swirled.

The next second.

Luke smiled.

"Okay!"

"Director Dane, this is agreed?"

"Yes."

Luke nodded, "But you want Zola, you can't ask for Zola anymore, and besides, I must meet with Zola first, after all, my daughter hasn't been found yet." ”

Hill also nodded: "No problem, Aegis doesn't care about the Seifer organization, as long as Director Dann is optimistic about Seifer in the future and doesn't let him make any big mess to trigger our alarm, if it weren't for Zola is Anim Zola, Aegis wouldn't even care about it." ”

Because Dr. Zora used to belong to Hydra, and now he was recruited by Luke as an informant undercover in what Cobra organization.

That's what Hill cares about.

It doesn't matter if you're a hydra or a cobra.

Must die.

In the eyes of Aegis, let alone cobras, even cauliflower snakes are not allowed to appear.

Soon.

Hill left a sentence that she had two hours left to reach her destination, and then hung up.

Luke finished the call and looked up at the ceiling.

"Alice!"

"Buzz!"

The projection of Alice in the red dress fell instantly.

"Father."

"Is Zola online?"

"My mother is trying to restart my grandfather's core server, which is expected to go live in ten minutes."

"Okay."

Luke had already automatically ignored the title of Alice in the red dress, and after answering, he looked at Natasha and Alexander Pierce: "Sasha, do you want to go see Zora together?" ”

Alexander Pierce waved his hand: "I must go back to Washington as soon as possible to find out what my imposter has done in my absence, and I may be able to find clues to the cobra's nest." ”

He didn't talk to Luke.

At least I didn't have a chance to talk to Luke alone.

But......

Smart people don't need to chat alone at all, a look, and a few words of conversation can figure out 70% of things.

The most important point.

Too much talk can make you lose it all.

Rather than stay here and be seen by the Aegis on the side, it is better to retreat and leave here first.

Lu Ke was not surprised by this, and nodded: "It's okay, this time it angered them, it must be that our previous or ongoing investigation is about to touch them, so they are in a hurry, you have higher authority than me, they robbed you of your identity, they must have done something, it is time to check it carefully, especially now that the news has not been revealed." ”

Alexander Pierce snorted and looked at Hawkeye.

"When will the plane arrive?"

"It's already here."

Hawkeye put down his right hand that was covering his ear and looked at Alexander Pierce: "The commander has explained, let me escort you and Brigadier General William Stryker back, so that you can prove it to the two of you." ”

said.

Hawkeye said to Natasha on the side, then looked at Alexander Pierce and William Stryker.

The rescued two didn't say anything, but after hugging Luke, they left the underground hive base under the escort of Hawkeye and three S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, took the plane that had been parked in the open space, and took off and flew to Washington urgently.

And Luke, who stayed behind, took Jack and Natasha, under the guidance of Alice in the red dress, to find the computer room of Dr. Zola, who was protected by the inner and outer three layers, but was accidentally discovered by Dr. Bai and brought offline.

The temperature in the computer room is a little hot and humid.

Sever, who was repairing the Zora server inside, and trying to get his teacher back online, took off his coat and revealed the short clothes inside, ignoring the sweat on his forehead, resting intently.

Luke looked into his eyes and knew very well that Seifer was doing it to him.

Because......

Seifer was silently interceding for Zola.
