The next morning, at SHIELD headquarters in Washington, Alexander Pierce stood by the floor-to-ceiling window.
He was drinking coffee as he listened to his subordinate's report.
"According to the information sent back by our informant, this kind of mutant werewolf, when not in a berserk state, has the intelligence and rationality of a human.
Being able to completely possess the thoughts and reasoning of a normal person, and having a physical fitness that was three to five times that of a normal person.
As for the data on the berserk state, I-I don't have a definite conclusion for the time being. "
Hearing this, Pierce frowned and looked back at the bald man. The bald man was so scared that he hurriedly added, "It's estimated that their strength should be ten times that of an ordinary person. In terms of speed, based on the video, it should be about three seconds for them to cross a hundred meters."
"Huh?" Hearing this data, Pierce's frown deepened.
"That's all? That's not even comparable to the armor invented by William Devonshire. What's there for us to get involved in? "
"That's not it, sir," Baldy hurriedly explained, "While the mutant werewolf called Luke was escaping, there were three times when his body suddenly emitted electric sparks when he was heavily injured. Then, his wounds healed within ten seconds.
We suspect that he either had a special device implanted in his body, or he had obtained some kind of special ability.
However, the possibility of the first guess is not high, because no artificial device was found when the mutant werewolf was subdued a few days ago or during the autopsy yesterday.
"If it's a self-healing ability obtained during the mutation process, then a new type of werewolf that can maintain its rationality and increase its physical fitness several times is definitely one of the best choices for super soldiers."
"That's something we should study."
After Pierce finished speaking, he looked at the scenery outside the window with unfocused eyes, thinking about how to get the werewolf serum from William.
As for the fact that there was no evidence that William was behind the attack in America, Pierce didn't hesitate for half a second and was sure that everything was William's doing.
He now regretted not establishing a contact channel with William, and even more regretted that Nick Fury didn't tell the Devonshire family when he went to London to investigate William more than a month ago.
Otherwise, in the eyes of Lena Devonshire and Abigail Chass, he was at least friendly.
The crafty Nick Fury was very likely to be one of William's targets for revenge. He might even have been killed in this revenge operation.
It was impossible for Pierce not to regret missing such a great opportunity.
"Is Nick Fury still investigating Antarctica?"
"Yes, sir. More than a month ago, for some reason, he didn't carry out the mission you gave him to investigate the spaceship. Instead, he secretly arranged for Phil Coulson to go to the South Pole.
However, when we left Antarctica, we had already dealt with the head and tail there, ensuring that Coulson would not think of it, let alone find out about aliens. "
"Yes," Pierce replied softly. "Have you found out why Fury suddenly gave up on investigating the spaceship and William?"
"I'm sorry, sir." Baldy shook his head fearfully. "For the time being, we only know that Nick Fury met the Black Widow before he suddenly disappeared from London.
Shortly after that, Phil Coulson received a mission and left the headquarters.
If we hadn't found out that Coulson's real destination was Antarctica, we wouldn't have known that Nick Fury had disappeared.
"Trash."
"Yes, sir."
Pierce stared irritably at the park outside the office. Originally, he wanted to let Nick Fury and William go against each other so that he could sit back and reap the benefits.
Not only was he completely bankrupt, but he also let Nick Fury discover a secret that must be protected for Hydra.
Since the discovery of the invisible alien spaceship in Antarctica a few months ago, Pierce had developed a strong curiosity in this regard.
He was always thinking about how to contact the aliens.
As for whether contacting the aliens would cause harm to Blue Planet, Pierce only thought about it for one night and was convinced that these aliens who had come to Blue Planet long ago had at least no intention of destroying Blue Planet and human beings.
In that case, the danger of contact was not as great as imagined.
"Sir, there is one more thing that I just received."
Baldy endured his fear and interrupted Pierce's thoughts, because he knew that if the news didn't come out in time, the situation that greeted him would be more dangerous than it was now.
Staring at his men for more than ten seconds, Pierce simply said one word.
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, sir." Baldy's heart relaxed and he quickly said, "Our people found that Laura Crawford of Kingsman has appeared in Japan and hired a ship. Her target should be Riptide Island."
"Riptide Island." Pierce's attention was immediately attracted by the news. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before asking, "Is it about that group of trash from Holy Trinity?"
"Yes, sir. It should be the mission to find the Queen of Yamatai. Do you need us to send someone to pay attention to this matter?"
"How many years has it been? This group of trash still hasn't given up? "
Baldy looked up at Pierce who was deep in thought. This time, he was very perceptive and knew that Pierce wasn't asking him at all, but talking to himself.
Sure enough, not long after, he heard, "William Dwesthill is trapped on Mars, but he didn't use Laura Crawford, the most suitable person in Kingsman to protect his mother.
Instead, he asked her to look for some treasure. There must be some connection. "
Looking back, Pierce suddenly frowned. To him, the Holy Trinity wasn't someone worth his time and effort.
He asked Baldy's subordinate, "Do we have people in Holy Trinity?"
Baldy, who had done his homework beforehand, said without thinking, "Yes, Dr. Manfred."
"Then let him pay attention to Dame Crawford and report to me if anything happens."
"Understood, sir."
"Get out."
Pierce waved his hand and let Baldy leave. After calming down, he silently pondered for a long time and felt that he couldn't wait any longer.
The things that happened during this period of time made Pierce fully understand what it meant to survive a desperate situation and things go against one's wishes.
Every time he heard that William was in a life and death situation, he wasn't happy for long. There would always be news of William coming up with various solutions to the problem.
The Cybertron robots chased after him, but as soon as they arrived on Mars, this damn alien was killed without even stirring up a ripple.
Not even a day after the food shortage, there was the matter of planting potatoes.
Planting potatoes was one thing, but as they grew, they created an internet company that was valued at 10 billion or even 20 billion USD by the outside world.
The first support spaceship was destroyed. Not only was William not anxious, but the other members of the Devonshire family also didn't show any signs of anxiety.
All of this showed that William had secretly built his own spaceship long ago.
The news from the London Space Center also showed that William's purpose of going to Mars to look for alien specimens had been achieved, and now he was waiting for the spaceship to pick him up.
God knows if William would suddenly hold a press conference in London if he waited any longer.
If that was the case, Pierce felt that all the effort and time he had spent over the past two months to pay attention to William's behavior would have been for naught and he would have been an idiot.
