Inside the Nightcrawler base, or rather, the base that had now been renamed as the Night Watchmen.
Frank and Barbara were conversing softly. Barbara was introduced to the team by Frank. She was a complete scientist, and was now a full-time support staff in the team.
Not only was Barbara outstanding in biology and mechanical engineering, but she was also a competent doctor, and was now responsible for the team's medical and health work.
"Do you think Nick still has a chance to take control?" Barbara inserted a thin syringe into Frank's body, who was lying on the medical bed. A few bags of different drugs were injected into Frank's body through the syringe.
This was the Infinity Serum, a drug that could greatly slow down the aging process and allow a person to maintain their peak physical condition for a long period of time. It was a by-product of the Super Soldier Serum, or at least that was how S.H.E.L.D. explained the origin of this drug.
Unlike the Super Soldier Serum, the Infinity Serum had to be injected regularly. If it was not injected after a certain period of time, the human body's functions would rapidly age and decline. It was a drug with serious side effects.
Within S.H.E.L.D., only a small number of higher-ups and outstanding agents would choose to inject this drug. Frank was one of the more special ones. He was probably one of the few people who was not part of the S.H.E.L.D. organization but still got his hands on this drug.
After all, his relationship with Nick was a true life-and-death friendship, the kind where they could entrust their lives to each other.
"Nick will always have a way. S.H.E.L.D. is only trustworthy when it's in Nick's hands. Even if it's Hill, I don't trust her. Do you understand what I mean? " Frank watched as the Infinity Serum was injected into his body, and his words carried a double meaning as he spoke to Barbara.
"Don't look at me. I'm actually someone who doesn't exist, am I not?" Barbara was wearing a pair of large black-rimmed glasses and dressed like a slovenly otaku from the science department. She said with a shrug.
Frank nodded at Barbara. "Washington hasn't officially interrogated Nick yet. This means that they still have their concerns. Don't worry too much about him, he has his own way of dealing with it. "
Frank seemed to have a lot of confidence in Nick and was very at ease with Nick's current state, which surprised Barbara.
"Good afternoon, Barbara." It was Li Jie who greeted her. He was holding a Heaven No.3 that he had seized from a drug dealer. "Oh, Frank, you're here too."
"What are you holding in your hand? Frank glanced at the bag in Li Jie's hand and said.
"Yes, don't you think that the sales of this thing have been through the roof recently? I thought that after the Stanich Family was taken care of, the sales of these things would decrease. I thought that these things were made by the Stanich Family. "
The Stanich family was the first mafia family that Li Jie had offended. He was also Frank's mortal enemy. If there was nothing special, Frank had always been busy annihilating the Stanich Family's forces. After all, his wife and daughter had died at the hands of this family.
Li Jie had also helped a lot with the attack on the Stanich Family. He had no good impression of this kind of extremely evil gang, especially when these people had tried to kill him.
Now that the Stanich Family had completely collapsed in New York, their business in other parts of the United States had also been hit. Franco? Stanich had already fled back to his hometown in Sicily. Frank decided to make a trip to Sicily in the near future. He had played with Franco enough.
Like a cat playing with a mouse after catching it, he felt that he had enough revenge on the Stanich Family. It was time to execute the culprit.
"Barbara, help me test the ingredients in these drugs. I'm a little curious about how this thing can make so many people addicted. Bihai Luo? Cause and effect? It's even stronger than cocaine. "Li Jie handed the bag of drugs to Barbara.
Barbara took the bag and said in an indifferent tone. "Nowadays, chemical drugs are changing with each passing day. They can always find new things to poke the G spot of addicts. I think you're wasting your time, Nightcrawler. "
"This might just be a new and more addictive drug." Barbara took off her glasses and glanced at the ice-blue pills in the bag.
Frank also shook his head noncommittally. But Li Jie still insisted. "Maybe it's a waste of effort. We've already destroyed a lot of this stuff before. But I still feel that there's something different about this thing. It's a kind of intuition, but I can't tell why. "
"Ha! Do you have the Spider-man's Spider Sense now? Then I'll help you look it up. "Barbara laughed and teased.
Speaking of Spider Sense, Peter, who was currently eating lunch in the base, had been frantically warning him. His Spider Sense had been frantically warning him. Ever since he caught the convenience store robber yesterday, his warning hadn't stopped.
This made him very confused. Spider Sense was never wrong, but he still couldn't feel any special danger, which made him a little nervous.
"Spider-man! Take your fork away from the beef on my plate! " Ming Di pushed Peter in disgust. Peter was distracted while eating and put his fork into Ming Di's plate.
"What?" Peter finally reacted. "Oh, I'm sorry."
Li Jie had just brought the main dish, roasted corn, to the table and happened to see this scene. "If you still want to eat beef, there's more in the kitchen. You don't need to take it from Ming Di's plate." Li Jie said as he pointed to the kitchen.
"No, it's not that. I don't want to eat beef." Peter said somewhat absent-mindedly. As soon as he said it, he felt that he was slandering Li Jie's cooking, so he immediately changed his words. "My subconscious was saying that the steak was delicious, but I'm full."
"Huh?" Li Jie was confused. "I'm making braised sirloin meat today. Where's the steak? Are you sick, Spider-man? "
"No, I'm not. I just don't know why I don't feel good. I think I might need to take a nap later, "Peter explained weakly.
"Alright, you better go to sleep later. Something's not right with you." Li Jie looked at Peter confusedly. "Right, why did I notice that there's no coke in the fridge?"
"Because Ceng Chu threw it all away." Ming Di said with a hint of complaining. "That's a waste of our operation funds!"
"Huh?" Peter looked like there was something wrong with him. Was there something wrong with Ceng Chu too?
"Those are Coca-Cola!" Ceng Chu, who was eating at the dining table, immediately said when he heard Ming Di's words. "It's Coca-Cola!"
"So?" Li Jie looked at Ceng Chu with an incomprehensible look, waiting for him to explain.
"It's the packaging cover with Captain America printed on it! But these are unauthorized pirated copies! Spider-man and I have unanimously decided to boycott these pirated copies. "Ceng Chu said righteously.
Li Jie's mouth was half open. He didn't know what to say to these two people for a long time. He and Ming Di had a tacit understanding. They turned their faces at the same time and scolded in a low voice. "Two psychopaths."
Damon, who was eating quietly on the other side of the dining table, was already familiar with these strange things in his team. This team didn't feel like there was a normal person in it.
He shook his head, picked up his plate, and walked to the TV, ready to watch the news while finishing his lunch.
"My client was just in a hurry to change his change. I repeat, he wasn't robbing. He was just in a hurry at the time and used an inappropriate expression, but his behavior didn't violate the legal definition of robbery! "In the noon news, a man dressed as a lawyer spoke to the TV camera.
"He left twenty dollars and only took fifteen dollars. Is there any robber who would do such a stupid thing?" Li Jie looked at the TV, thinking that there might really be such an idiot.
And Peter? Parker's spider-sense crazy warning finally had a clear direction at this moment. He looked at the lawyer on the TV screen with an inconceivable look.
"And the New York Police arrested him for this. This is a blasphemy against human rights. It's very disrespectful to the people. I am here to lodge a serious protest against the New York Police! "The lawyer with a three-seven haircut said hoarsely in front of the camera.
"And the New York Police's indiscriminate arrest of my client was caused by the Spider-man who wore tights and called himself a superhero."
"Because the Spider-man believed that my client was robbing, and he used illegal means to imprison him. He didn't know the cause and effect of the matter at all, which caused my client to receive a serious violation of human rights! "
"And the worst thing is that the Spider-man is just an American citizen wearing tights with special powers! Maybe he's not even an American citizen! He doesn't have any law enforcement power, so what right does he have to use violent means to arrest my client! I am also here to lodge a serious protest against the Spider-man! "
The lawyer pointed at the camera and said seriously. "I will represent my client to sue you! Mr. Spider-man. "
