It was early December, and Tony received the "delivery beast" that Luke had sent over.
After studying it with great interest for two days, the tycoon said that he wanted to come over and take a look. It was an alien, alive!
Luke directly rejected this boring suggestion. He didn't have the time to babysit the tycoon.
Even Selina wouldn't fight the parasites head-on now, and Tony's main body wouldn't be able to withstand a single tentacle. Watching the show would kill him.
Besides, there was nothing to watch here. The most important thing for Luke and Selina every day was to eat and drink with the dog head, and then play tricks while Shin Quan fought the other group of parasites.
The more the two sides fought, the more furious they became. It was only a matter of time before something big happened.
Then … Phil arrived.
Of course, it was the tycoon's doing.
Since Luke wouldn't babysit him, he entrusted Phil to S.H.I.E.L.D. to take the two parasites back to study them.
That was how capricious money was.
The supplies that Luke and his gang provided to Phil were basically limited but refined products. A defense supplier like Tony was the all-purpose warehouse for bulk supplies.
Of course, it was also because Luke didn't want to lose his image as a bigshot.
Tony could solve the problem with just one phone call, but Luke had to deliver the goods himself every time.
If he often delivered large quantities of supplies, wouldn't he really become a porter?
Seeing that it was Big Dipper, Phil was sure that a lot of "people" would die this time.
Big Dipper had never shown mercy when he appeared.
Whether they were humans or beasts, they were all chopped to death.
Phil shook his hand and greeted him with a smile. "Long time no see, Big Dipper."
Luke subconsciously looked at his real uncle's right hand. Hm, his hand was real and wasn't crippled. It seemed that he hadn't slacked off on his self-protection work.
He couldn't help but say, "Are you too busy? Your hairline seems to be a little higher? You have to learn from Tony. "
Stunned, Phil's smile froze. Asshole, I'm six years older than him. So what if I have less hair?
But there was nothing he could do about Big Dipper. He could only try to remain calm. "I'm just a salaryman. I can't compare to the big boss."
Luke only wanted to test Phil's mental state.
Since he hadn't hit him, it meant that his uncle was living a good life.
Thus, he stopped being naughty and gestured for Phil to sit down. The two of them went straight to business. "Why are you here? Don't say it's just because of Tony, he doesn't have that much influence. "
Phil took the oolong tea from Luke and took a sip. He thought for a moment before he said, "With the information you provided, we paid special attention to the situation around the world and found a lot of suspicious cases. The number you've estimated is a little shocking, so we need to determine their danger level. "
Luke understood.
He was a China man in his previous life.
Even though he had become an American in this life, subconsciously, he did not care too much about the deaths in Japan. After all, he was not the one who created the parasites.
On the other hand, protecting the safety of Earth was a conditioned reflex for Phil.
This monster race that could eat thousands of people in one or two days was definitely a shocking case.
After all, Japan was America's godson.
It was only right for the godfather to eat and drink a little, but of course, it was not right for him to allow others to eat and drink at his godson's house.
Luke nodded. "Did you catch them alive?"
Phil's expression turned serious. "We caught three of them. Two agents died because of this."
Luke frowned. "Didn't I warn you?"
Phil smiled bitterly. "Both of them died in the line of duty during the first arrest. The other party reacted a little faster, and the agents stood within ten meters of each other and pulled out their guns when they got nervous … "
Such small mistakes were inevitable, and Luke didn't dwell on them. He changed the topic. "We have some information on Tokyo and Sapporo. But Tokyo is too big, and it's not our territory yet. So far, we've only identified a hundred or so targets. "
Phil was very sensitive. "Have you found their nest?"
Luke said, "One in Sapporo and two in Tokyo. Tokyo and Tokyo belong to different camps."
Phil was stunned. "What camps?"
Luke said, "One is a traditional hunter, and will eat people in a day or two. The other is an integrated camp. They control their appetite and are also researching alternative food. "
Phil was surprised. "So fast?"
Luke also felt that it was fast. "This race has its own characteristics. They're definitely not stupid. We can't let too many of them survive. Our team will take action after a while and try to wipe out most of the parasites in one go. "
Phil thought for a moment. "If it's a big one-time operation, I can transfer a hundred people over at the last minute. They're all well-equipped and experienced veterans."
Luke said, "Okay. After this meal, I'll take you on a 'field trip.' "
Phil didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Let's go. I'll buy some food to eat on the way."
Luke shook his head. "I've already ordered the food. We can work after we finish eating. It won't take up any time."
Phil could only helplessly enjoy an authentic neon sushi.
Luke rarely ate sushi himself, but it was more suitable to eat it with Phil.
His uncle was a little younger than Dustin, but his hairline was much higher. It had to be because he often ate fast food. It was good to eat light food for a few days.
Seeing that Luke was eating unhurriedly, Phil wasn't in a hurry.
There was nothing he could do about Big Dipper. If the other party wanted to eat and get to work, he could only follow suit.
After the meal, Luke took Phil to the safe house and put on his armor.
The parasites could instantly kill an unarmored target in less than a second. Luke didn't want his uncle to lose his life.
Then, under the cover of the night, the two visited a few nests of parasites in Tokyo.
Each nest had three to five parasites, and they were all very strong leaders.
The parasites looked backward, but there was a clear hierarchy within their species, and the strong would automatically become the big shots.
They also had a very metaphysical way of communicating with each other.
They called it brainwaves, and could sense the existence of their own kind as well as the other party's emotions.
But Luke couldn't detect them with his mental detector unless he put a probe helmet on the other party's head.
It was impossible for Luke to make everyone in Tokyo wear a probe helmet, so he continued to cast a long line to catch a big fish.
Phil frowned when he saw the parasites in the nests eating people. "Are we just going to let them eat like this?"
Luke sighed. "I can easily kill these guys, but after I kill them, the other parasites will hide even more carefully, and there will be dozens or even hundreds of times more people eaten."
Phil thought about it and found it hard to figure out.
There was no standard answer to a prisoner's dilemma; it all depended on personal choices.
Luke's words were cruel, but reality was even crueler.
Phil took a quick look at a few nests and didn't want to stay any longer.
Luke, however, said, "There are two special parasites that might be able to help us."
They went straight to Quan Shinichi's house, where the high school student was bickering with his "right."
Phil listened for a moment, then opened his mouth in surprise. "He's … still human?"
