Garrett and Ward couldn't help but glance at each other.
Garrett was the first to speak. "What do you want? If you just want to kill us, there's no need to go through so much trouble. "
Pondering for two seconds, Luke nodded affirmatively. "But I like troublesome people like you."
Garrett: "…"
Ward: "…"
Hill: "…"
S.H.I.E.L.D.: "…"
Nick Fury asked, "Has the rescue team set off?"
Sitwell said, "Yes, but it will take at least thirteen minutes for their Quinjet to reach their destination."
Nick Fury said, "Tell them to speed up as much as possible."
On the other side, Ward also said, "You want to see us cry in front of you and beg for mercy."
Luke raised an eyebrow and raised his hand. "Cui Siting, continue."
Ward said, "You said I'm like you, so who are you taking revenge on now? Your parents, or your siblings? "
Luke crossed his arms and propped his chin on one hand as he pondered.
Garrett and Ward were secretly delighted. They could finally use their verbal cannons! This guy actually didn't undo the tape until the end, and almost killed them.
As long as they could move their mouths, they would have a chance to survive, and even fight back!
They were S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and had faced this situation many times. There had to be a chance.
Luke suddenly nodded. "Hm, probably … taking revenge on society?"
Both Garrett and Ward's faces stiffened. What kind of answer was that?
Did they need to pick a target to take revenge on society? Of course not.
As the backbone of society, they had killed too many innocent people.
For example, in order to train young Ward's mind, Garrett had taken him to kill random homeless people, special workers, housewives, and so on, in order to erase his hesitation when he took action.
If they didn't get rid of the "good" in human nature from the beginning, it was very likely that they would disobey orders at critical moments after they became Hydras.
During the battle in New York, the pilot had been a brainwashed Hydra, which was why he hadn't hesitated to throw a weapon of peace at the heads of millions of civilians.
A soldier with a normal sense of good and evil wouldn't have carried it out so decisively.
It was always easy for the bad guys to understand the bad guys. Garrett and Ward instantly understood what Jeff meant: I've taken a fancy to you!
Luke sighed. "Gentlemen, although I would like to let you say a few more words, unfortunately, your people aren't willing to give me more time. So, you can start saying your epitaphs! "
"Now, the game begins!" As he spoke, his hand had already pressed the button.
The weird, inferior voice rang out again. "Ten, nine …"
Walter and Garrett turned to look at each other again. Both of them had a bitter smile on their faces.
Bang!
A bullet hole appeared in Garrett's chest. He looked at his chest in surprise, and the smile on his lips became even more bitter. "That's right, I taught you everything …"
The last half of the sentence was guessed by Ward, who was right in front of him.
His expression was indifferent. He did not feel the joy of being the first to make a move and escape.
After staring at Garrett's body for a moment, he turned around and looked at Luke. "Thank you. He's had a hard life …"
Luke nodded with great interest. "That's right. In order to survive, he transformed himself into a half-machine, half-biochemical monster, only to die at the hands of his own student. How pitiful."
Walter's expression did not change when he said this, but Hill, who was beside him, looked surprised.
Many people from SHIELD were also surprised, but they didn't think too much of it.
SHIELD had a lot of technology, including artificial organs. With Garrett's seniority, it was possible that he had been given a spot in a top-secret experiment.
For the sake of his contribution to SHIELD, Nick Fury certainly wouldn't refuse such a reasonable request to extend his life.
At that moment, Nick Fury had a grave expression on his face, but he cursed inwardly.
He knew very well that as far as he knew, S.H.I.E.L.D. had never approved anything life-saving for Garrett.
Even Nick Fury himself didn't know that Garrett was in such a state, because Garrett's medical report had always been normal.
Except for the injuries and strain that a field agent would have, there was nothing wrong with him.
If there really was something wrong with his body, he would've been transferred back to HQ a long time ago.
Clearly, Garrett didn't want to be transferred back to Nick Fury, so he had tampered with his medical report.
This also meant that the SHIELD staff who had done the medical report for him had to be blacklisted as well.
The staff who reviewed and filed the medical report were also very suspicious.
By conservative estimates, Nick Fury would have twenty to thirty more people on his blacklist.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been numb for a long time, the director would've been scratching his head like crazy.
…
No matter what S.H.I.E.L.D. was thinking, Luke continued his performance on the other side.
He moved Garrett's trial machine and put it in front of Gill. Then, he pried open Garrett's thumb and clicked his tongue in wonder. "Mr. Ward, it seems that Mr. Garrett doesn't want to die as much as you said. Look at this finger. Hehe, all you had to do was hesitate … "
Luke made an almost invisible gap between his index finger and thumb. "Mr. Garrett would be the one talking to me right now."
Ward looked at him coldly. "If he wanted to, wouldn't it be better if he just pressed the button without looking at me?"
Luke put down his hand and shook his head. He didn't answer Ward. He took the empty shell out of the steel pipe and stared at Gill's chest through it.
Hm … it was a little flat! So, he could still do it … right?
He loaded a rifle bullet into the steel pipe and pushed the nail gun against it. Then, he put the button that had belonged to Garrett into Gill's hand.
He wrapped his hands around her right hand gently but firmly. "Promise me that you'll live, okay?"
Gill's lips twitched when she felt that it was like a scene in a movie where the male lead confessed to the female lead in a life-and-death situation. Are you crazy? If you don't see what I'm holding, you'll think that it's a diamond ring, right?
But the very ordinary feeling of the plastic in her hand told her that it was indeed a switch that cost a few dollars, and the brand on it indicated that it was from China.
They were very popular with ordinary Americans because of their low price and high quality.
That also meant that the switch could be bought in almost any store that sold such products.
It would probably be very difficult to track down Jeff with this thing. That was what she thought.
Yes, Gill didn't think that she could survive at that moment.
This was a game that Luke was playing. He wanted to take a picture of their ugly behavior before they died and send it to his colleagues in SHIELD.
In this game, Luke had been following his own plan. Garrett and Ward's verbal cannons hadn't been able to change him, or even delay him.
So, Garrett died.
