SHIELD's headquarters was in chaos. "Send reinforcements immediately. Let the Maryland police rush over with their sirens on."
"The rescue team will board the plane in three minutes and is expected to arrive in ten minutes."
"It's too late. They've cut off the recorder."
Many of the staff members' hands paused as they looked at the recorders that were gradually turning black on the screen. A bad feeling welled up in their hearts.
"Wait, it's not cut off. It's masked. They just masked the recorder. I can still hear the sound, "a staff member with headphones suddenly shouted.
After a moment of silence, SHIELD immediately resumed its clamor.
The other party hadn't fired another shot, and the recorder was still working, so SHIELD could still judge the situation at the scene through the sound.
These twelve colleagues were most likely just injured, not necessarily dead.
Nick Fury hurried over and found a shiny bald man at a glance. He asked, "Has the rescue team been sent out?"
Sitwill immediately replied, "Captain Langlow has already taken two of the most elite squads to the tarmac."
Nick Fury nodded but didn't say anything.
Langlow was the captain of SHIELD's rapid-response special forces.
If SHIELD's ordinary agents were understood as patrolmen, then Langlow was the captain of SHIELD's SWAT team.
The two squads directly under him were also the most elite of the rapid-response forces.
Apart from some special members, this was the strongest force of SHIELD's regular forces.
Even Nick Fury couldn't send stronger people at once. After all, he was now short on manpower.
Five minutes later, another message came, causing the room to suddenly fall silent. "Two rapid-response squads heading to the Vermont border have been ambushed. Six people have fallen … No, eight. Wait, eleven … "
The staff member who received the message was horrified. He could only stare at the battlefield recorder and listen to the shouts for help in the team channel as he reflexively repeated the situation.
Because these two rapid-response squads … were going to catch Joker.
Nick Fury's expression changed drastically. "Have Langlow turn around and go straight to Vermont. We must catch Joker."
The director, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, seemed very angry, but at this moment, he was a little suspicious. Am I overthinking things? Joker wasn't an actor hired by Hydra?
The two squads of people who arrested Joker had a total of 24 people, but it took him a little effort to arrange them out. Basically, they are all very suspicious of Hydra.
Hydra should not let this kind of member leave. After all, without SHIELD, they are at most a group of powerful mercenaries.
On the other hand, they had been working normally inside, and it was almost impossible to kill them without arousing suspicion from the other Hydras.
At the same time, Brock Rumlow on the Quinjet gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, feeling the super big turn of the Quinjet, and gritted his teeth.
Most of the two teams at the Vermont border were his trusted subordinates. If he lost them to Joker, he would lose at least a third of his control over the rapid reaction force.
Although the total number of people in the rapid response force at the headquarters was more than four hundred, it was easy for elite squads to be promoted. Once they had served enough years, they could be assigned to squads as captains or deputies.
If the eighteen of them spread out, they would be able to influence the rapid response team of about a hundred people, and then slowly infiltrate and devour them.
Now that they had been wiped out by Joker, there was nothing they could do.
…
No matter how suspicious the two sides in SHIELD were, a "massacre" was taking place on the border between Vermont and Canada.
The so-called "massacre" was because none of the people who had fallen were dead.
Luke wanted these people to be one-off "props," so naturally, he couldn't kill them here.
Therefore, he waited until a "brown bear" silently appeared next to the two squads and slapped two of their members away.
Seeing that most of the members of the rapid response team were distracted by the "brown bear," Luke, who was high up in a tree, fired at the same time and kept reminding them, "Shadow Bear, don't use too much force. It won't be good to use it again if you kill or injure it."
The "brown bear" that was pouncing in the field paused for a moment and shook its head in dissatisfaction. The direction of its head was obviously expressing its dissatisfaction with him.
Luke unhurriedly fired two more shots before he continued, "Shadow Bear sounds nice. Hm, someone will definitely like it."
The members of the rapid response team, however, roared, "It's not a bear, it's a disguise!"
As soon as they said that, the Shadow Bear rolled out in a circle and knocked two members away.
Luke smiled and pulled the trigger again. "Bingo! She's a human! Hm, can't she have the strength of a bear? "
Of course, the Shadow Bear heard that, and kicked a tree with its curled body.
Amidst the rumbling sound, the entire tree came crashing down, and the round body flew back in a circle, slapping away another two team members who were close to it.
While Luke was mowing the grass, Selina sent a message. "The package has been packed. Come and pick it up."
Two more shots were fired, and two more people fell. He replied, "Clean up the traces. You and Skull immediately retreat according to the plan."
Selina replied, "Got it. Evacuating already." She didn't say anything else.
Twenty minutes later, two Quinjets flew over quickly.
After circling a few times in the woods, one of them landed in a clearing, and a team got out.
The other one circled around the area in search of Joker and his accomplices.
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., various orders had already been issued.
Checking the nearby airspace for vehicles or aircraft, checking the nearby surveillance cameras, blocking the nearby roads, and so on were all steps that had been prepared in advance.
Nick Fury simply stood coldly in the lobby of S.H.I.E.L.D. with his hands behind his back.
Nobody dared to talk to him. Everyone could tell that the director was so angry that he was about to split open.
In fact, Nick Fury really wanted to smile widely, if not for the fact that he had also lost a team of agents in Maryland.
It was a pity that Rum hadn't been captured as well! It was such a waste that Joker hadn't ambushed him a second time. A certain black-hearted man mumbled inwardly, already thinking about other things.
It seemed that now was an opportunity to mix sand into the rapid-response team! He thought to himself: As long as a few dozen less suspicious people were mixed in, it wouldn't be so easy for Hydra to do anything with this team.
Simply put, Hydra didn't know that Nick Fury knew, so they couldn't make a big deal out of it.
Nick Fury, on the other hand, wanted Hydra to know that he didn't know, so he couldn't send them to their deaths with great fanfare.
Both sides were hesitant to act.
Nick Fury wasn't sure who Hydra was, so he could only mix in some less suspicious people.
If the other party wanted to make a move, they would have to kill these non-Nhydra agents to gain control.
But killing a colleague would undoubtedly greatly weaken other people's trust.
At that time, the non-Nhydra agents would be wary of them.
This wouldn't save S.H.I.E.L.D., but there was a greater chance that Hydra would die with them. A cold light flashed in Nick Fury's single eye. He hated it when people treated him like a fool.
