The figure that appeared in the storm made everyone in the port shudder.
Everyone present knew that the X-Men belonged to SHIELD. Did the appearance of Storm mean that SHIELD had made a move? Furthermore, were these Hydra hidden in SHIELD already exposed?
Gartner was shocked at this moment. He grabbed his adopted son Ward, who wanted to rush out, and said loudly, "Let's go! Let's get out of here first! "
"Have we been exposed? How did they appear? "
Ward rarely lost control of his emotions, but he was forcibly stopped by Gartner. "Not exposed! Don't be stupid. If a Level 8 agent is found to be a traitor, it won't just be Storm! Don't forget, Rum didn't inform us. This is not SHIELD's action, at least not an official action … There is still a chance! Let's go first! Preserve our strength! "
"What about those people outside?"
Ward looked at the people outside who were shooting into the sky but were struck down by lightning one after another. The young man seemed to want to rush out to help, but he was pulled out of the container by Gartner and rushed towards the sea.
"Don't worry about them …"
Gartner still wanted to say something, but in the next moment, a red beam shot out from the darkness, sweeping across everything along the way, completely destroying the entire container and the messy battlefield. In the flames of the explosion, Gartner and Ward were washed into the sea by the air wave. They looked back at the burning port, gritted their teeth, and dived into the darkness along the cold sea.
But just as Gartner's head appeared next, a sharp arrow shot from the darkness accurately pierced his abdomen.
"Pfff"
Gartner's blood dissipated in the cold sea, making Ward's eyes widen. He didn't dare to surface to breathe again. He grabbed his adoptive father's body and sank into the sea.
In Ward's memory, there was only one person who could shoot such a fatal arrow in such a dark environment.
"SHIELD … Hawkeye!"
Two days later, in a mansion in New York.
"Bang"
Pierce threw the black arrow in his hand on the table. His face was full of anger that had nowhere to vent. In front of him, the haggard Ward stood there without saying a word.
"Are you sure it was Fury who sent them?"
Piers asked coldly. Ward took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
"Storm's ability is unique among the current mutants, and that scorching eye beam that can directly ignite steel is also the ability of Professor Charles's proud disciple, Laser Eye Scott. The most important thing is this arrow … I'm 100% sure that this is Hawkeye's arrow! His arrows were specially made by SHIELD and couldn't be found anywhere else! He's the only one who can hit a target in the sea in that kind of storm. "
"Gartner …"
Pierce's body shook, and he gasped violently. After he took over the review work, Hydra's undercover agents in SHIELD not only did not decrease, but also increased. But no matter how many low-level agents there are, they are not as important as a Level 8 agent. Now, because of an inexplicable raid, one of his most relied on characters was seriously injured on the coast of Canada and almost died there.
The most important thing was that the four Winter Soldiers that he had just gotten were also blown to pieces. He had used a lot of manpower and material resources to get such a result. How could he not be angry!
"Who is it! Who leaked the news! "
Pierce slammed the table angrily. For such a powerful person, it was rare for him to lose his composure like this.
A moment later, Agent Sylvitt walked into the room in a hurry and put a document on Pierce's desk.
"It's clear, sir."
"Say it!"
Pierce spat out a word coldly. Sylvitt glanced at Ward and shook his head:
"Mr. Gartner's accident was an accident …"
"Accident? I don't think the mission that Fury sent X-Men to carry out would be an accident! "
Ward was not convinced and retorted, "They are coming for us!"
Sylvitt pushed his glasses and waited for Ward to finish before he said calmly:
"Actually, no! Our people found something else at the scene of the explosion. "
Pierce picked up the document, glanced at it, and frowned.
"This looks like some metal wreckage. What's going on here?"
"The Ten-Ring Gang's armor business has been very hot recently. They sell that kind of cannon fodder mech all over the world. In fact, in the container of that ship, there were 30 sets of armor that were going to be secretly sent to the United States. Fury got the news in advance. Stormwind and the others were dispatched for those 30 sets of armor … That is to say, Agent Gartner and our Winter Soldiers were all implicated!"
Sylvitt turned his head and glanced at Ward. There was a trace of undisguised sarcasm at the corner of his mouth:
"It can only be said that Agent Gartner's men were unlucky, or they were too careless."
The atmosphere in the room froze at this moment. Ward looked at Sylvitt in disbelief. His intuition told him that things weren't that simple, but in front of Pierce, he couldn't be so presumptuous as to accuse his colleague. Pierce didn't say anything. He just looked at the report seriously. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Sylvitt.
"Can you be sure that Gartner was not exposed?"
"This …"
Sylvitt glanced at Ward hesitantly. Pierce waved his hand. Ward gnashed his teeth in anger, but he still had to leave the room. The bald agent then whispered:
"Sir, it's really hard to say whether Agent Gartner was exposed or not. Fury's actions were carried out secretly and were not registered in the central system at all. But that night, Storm did leave New York. Our agents saw her moving towards the northern sky with their own eyes. And if that arrow was really shot by Hawkeye, with his eyesight …"
"You mean, Gartner won't be able to return to the SHIELD system in a short time?"
Pierce rubbed his chin: "But if that's the case, our power on the Helicarrier will be weakened …"
"We can let that young man replace him!"
Agent Sylvitt said selflessly: "Although he has some misunderstandings about me because of Agent Gartner, it's all for the sake of the organization's growth, so I don't mind covering for him. Moreover, Ward's resume is very clean. I only need a small excuse to transfer him into the Helicarrier system."
"Okay!"
Pierce rubbed his forehead with a headache. He looked at Sylvitt with a reluctant smile on his face:
"Sylvitt, it turns out that you are indeed worthy of a higher position and power. So from now on, Agent Gartner's team will be under your management, and I will lead it directly!"
“HailHydra！！”
Sylvitt put his left hand on his chest and shouted the slogan of Hydra loudly. Seeing a trace of sadness on Pierce's face, Sylvitt's eyes flashed and he lowered his voice:
"Sir, in fact, you don't have to worry about the loss of Winter Soldier. I also have eyes in Fury's biological laboratory. I heard that their ultimate soldiers have made great progress in the experiment with Venom residue. We can make our own Hydra soldiers … After all, Winter Soldier is an outdated product, and it's far less mature than the current technology."
"Oh?"
Pierce's eyes immediately lit up. He looked at Sylvitt:
"Are you sure?"
"Oh, we don't even need to find a way to bring it out! Sir. "
The bald agent pushed up his glasses. "We only need to send our people in when they are selecting test subjects. Of course, in order to ensure their loyalty and innocence, we can put in the people we trust the most. We only need to make a small change and Fury will work for us."
"After all, now that the review is over, the people who stay are trustworthy, aren't they?"
The bald agent chuckled, and Pierce's mood immediately improved. He stood up excitedly, warmed up his palms, and paced back and forth beside his seat. In the end, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Agent Sylvitt, "What's the matter?
"Very good! I'll leave this matter to you! Is three months enough time? "
"Then we need to tilt our resources to let Fury's experiment proceed quickly …"
Agent Sylvie nodded. "If everything goes well, then three months should be enough. But Sir, this incident has also given us a reminder. If Fury really does find some clues, we have to be prepared. "
"En? What do you mean? "
Pierce's eyes flashed. He had been thinking about this problem before. As an experienced old fox, he was more concerned about his own safety than anyone else. He looked at Sylvitt, and the latter lowered his voice again.
"We have to find a way to advance Project Insight. As long as the three spaceships are in our hands, no matter what Fury does, we will be invincible!"
"This matter … can't be rushed."
Pierce was a little tempted, but he thought for a moment and shook his head, "The Cosmic Tesseract is the most important thing now. If everything goes well, we don't even need Project Insight to easily occupy this world. Go and do your own thing first. If there are any changes, I will inform you."
"Yes! Sir. "
Sylvitt humbly bowed, but the moment he lowered his head, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
On the other hand, inside the underground sewers of Gotham, there was a large basement that had been purposely cleaned. Professor Hawkins was busy with his grandchildren. Before them were complicated machines that maintained the temperature of four cultivation chambers. As he adjusted the temperature of the machines, he whispered to himself, "Let's go.
"The former Soviet Union probably didn't manage these super soldiers when they were disintegrated and allowed them to be frozen until now. After more than ten years, the ice has begun to damage their limbs and consciousness. Unfreezing them will take a long time and requires precise control. But their bodies are very healthy, even healthier than most normal people. It seems that the Soviet Union's super soldier project was a success."
Seiber stood in the darkness, speechless. He held a red book in his hands. It looked like a Russian dictionary, but there were a series of words marked on it that seemed unrelated. But according to Raven, this thing should be the hypnotic command of the Winter Soldiers. He had to read the 33 words in order, otherwise it would be impossible to command these soldiers who had been completely wiped of their personality.
Beside him, Kevin, who was wearing tights and a silver wig, twisted around with a strange expression.
"Saber, your clothes are tight, and there's something on your chest. It's uncomfortable!"
Catherine snickered as she snatched Kevin's wig away and started playing with him. On the other side, the Green Arrow Oliver was resting while hugging his bow and arrow. It must be known that there were very few Sharpshooters in the world who could hit the target with 100% accuracy. However, if one had to find an Sharpshooter like Hawkeye, who was as sharp as a super special agent, then the prodigal son from Star City would definitely be the most dangerous candidate.
Saber threw the book in his hand aside, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
"Clark, are you back in New York? Thank you for your help this time … "
"Just this once, Saber … It's really uncomfortable to do this kind of sneaky thing."
"Don't worry, just this once, I swear!"
Saber looked at the incubation chambers that were surging with cold air and whispered, "Once is enough …"
