The hearing was still full of rhetoric. Although everyone knows it, it actually doesn't mean much. But at least we must gain a clear advantage for the interest group we represent.
However, at this moment, the military spokesman received a call. He answered the phone and his face suddenly turned ugly. General Ross is dead, murdered. For these senior military officials, this is simply a fantasy. The entire United States can't remember the last time a powerful general died of murder? Of course, in addition to this, there was also a military team that was completely wiped out. But nothing like that is as important as the death of a general.
"Everyone, I feel that one person is missing from our hearing." The military spokesman said.
"What do you mean? Is there something that SHIELD has slipped through the net?"
"No, it's not SHIELD's problem. It's Umbrella. I just received the news. All the soldiers escorting Umbrella's armed team were killed. And just five minutes ago, General Ross died in an assassination. A masked man The samurai cut off his head with a sword. I think Umbrella should explain this."
"This is a declaration of war against the United States. We need to fight back harder."
"I really don't want to interrupt your excitement. But I need to report a situation, and I may need to leave for a while." At this time, Coulson suddenly raised his hand in response.
"This is a hearing that will determine whether you are going to jail. Soldier, you think you can come and go here whenever you want."
"First of all, let me state that I don't want to come. Secondly, I have a mission to perform."
"Your job is to cooperate and complete the hearing."
"No, my mission is to protect the safety of citizens, not to waste time with you here. You can convict me as you like, that's your job. But before that, I will complete my job. I'm going to go now Go on a rescue mission to rescue Tony Stark.”
"You..." The leading congressman suddenly choked. Tony Stark is his financial backer. If he dares to say a word, he will not let the other party save him. My political career is probably over here.
"The military will organize a rescue team. You need to stay here, Agent Coulson."
"Haha, that's good. Share the information and then we will organize the manpower."
"Unfortunately, I cannot do that. SHIELD's intelligence is independent and the military has no right to share it. Just like we will not share your intelligence."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. has no rights now."
"Then you mean SHIELD has been disbanded? I don't know if this is what you personally mean, or if the decision was made during the hearing without me hearing it."
The congressman who spoke suddenly stopped talking. The tone of this hearing has actually been set long ago, which is to split the game between God and God. Just like Nick Fury said before. There are thousands of missions, how about relying on SHIELD's intelligence support?
………………………
"Colson has already started to take action. But the team in his hands cannot possibly fight against the Extremis Warriors."
"Then help him. The Desperate Soldiers are extremely resistant to thermal weapons. Send two soldiers wearing gravity colonization suits. End the battle as soon as possible. By the way, how is Tony Stark?"
"I can only say that he is not dead yet. But he has received a strong mental blow. It is obvious that Killian's hatred for him has become somewhat deformed. He injected Tony Stark with the Extremis virus, but it was incomplete. And the incomplete terminal virus..."
Coulson's team found Killian's location. This made Coulson breathe a sigh of relief. At least the information Shen Yi gave so far was correct.
"Listen, the opponent is some kind of enhanced soldier. We can't fight head-on. So sneak in, rescue Tony Stark, and then withdraw. Remember, you can use high-explosive shells to break up the rear if necessary. SHIELD has a problem, we There’s no backup.”
"I don't understand, we're all going to lose our jobs. Why do we come here to get this guy? To be honest, I've never liked him."
"I understand that as men, few like Tony Stark. But as you said, we are about to lose our jobs. And our goal should be able to pay for our pensions for the rest of our lives. So, who of you is going to It’s time to change jobs and leave now.”
However, the raid undoubtedly failed, and Killian was well prepared. The burning figure of the desperate soldier instantly inflicted heavy damage on the rescue team.
"What is this?"
"This should be the kind of enhanced soldiers called the Extremis Virus. But I really can't imagine that they can even receive news from such a temporary action. What on earth is wrong with this country and this government."
"It's natural for them to receive the news in advance. Don't you understand? Killian's aim is also a company funded by Hydra. You think Hydra only has those lurking in SHIELD. No, they don't Just lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D., they’re lurking in every corner of the world.”
"Do we have to wait until this moment to take action? Half of my people are already dead." The strange thing is that when he said this, Coulson's expression did not have that special sense of anger. It's more of a helplessness.
"You have felt that helplessness yourself, right? Mr. Coulson. A seventh-level agent of SHIELD, a big shot. But in reality? Those in power behind the scenes still only regard you as a pawn. Perhaps from the time you become Starting as an agent, all the tasks you do are just their plans for personal gain."
The one who spoke was the armored warrior sent by Shen Yi. Although there are only two of them, wearing the gravity colonization suit is already a crushing level for the desperate warriors.
"But according to what Shen Yi said, we will face more dangerous situations in the future?"
"It is indeed more dangerous. But there is a difference at this time. Because in many cases, the threat from the inside is more uncomfortable than the threat from the outside. That's why today's situation is here. The boss drives everything, that is We hope that the internal constraints can be cleared to a certain extent so that we can be freer in the future.”
"Maybe. At least get Tony Stark out first."
A gravity field is formed instantly. A dozen desperate warriors only felt an invisible pressure, compressing into their bodies from every direction around them. The bones and muscles of the Extremis virus are fused under this pressure. It was crushed inch by inch. But due to the strong survivability of the Extremis virus. But they couldn't die, not even faint.
The extreme compression finally detonated them completely. The Extremis virus originally had this property of self-destruction. Under this heavy pressure, he finally lost his balance.
"We found Stark. But not Killian. He may have escaped early."
"Don't worry, our mission is just to assist in rescuing Tony Stark. Although he looks a little different. But he is alive at least, right? The mission is over, Mr. Coulson, and the rest is left to you."
Coulson looked at 'Stark' in front of him with a look of pain on his face.
