Men with short gray hair and stern faces send reports to the temporary headquarters through headphones mounted in light bulletproof armor helmets. This is a team responsible for intelligence work located on the periphery of the battlefield. Their armbands have red shields painted on them.
The golden steel gauntlet with a silver skull inlaid on the back of the hand represents that this force belongs to Victoria Hand's intelligence department. This five-person team all followed Victoria Hand's S.H.I.E.L.D. during the Hydra Rebellion.
agent, and was later taken in by the Immortal City to evade being wanted by the U.S. official.
There are many such teams, and now they are all scattered on the outskirts of Finnbowent Mountain to perform exploration missions.
The loyalty of these people can be guaranteed because Agent Hand formulated a regulation and used the resources of the Eternal City to arrange their families. Even the education of their children is fully responsible for the education of the Eternal City without any contribution from them.
Money. It can be said that the Immortal City controls their loyalty by controlling their families, but this kind of people do not have to pay off their mortgages, can retire on time, will not be dragged into uninformed human experiments by their bosses, will not have their pensions deducted, and also pay back
Jobs with large pensions are far better than their previous pay. As for the Eternal City's requirement to give up superstition, it is easy to accept it. After all, this is the age of science, and they only need to give up their religious beliefs verbally.
The boss' requirements are not very strict.
"We found a refugee at the church. Male, over twelve but under fifteen years old, with strange hair color."
"Copy that." The emotionless voice of the intelligence agent made Joel feel a chill in his heart. He had seen those intelligence agents, and he knew that those people seemed to have accepted part of the brainwashing to fight against those more terrifying tasks.
Mental pollution in the world. This change occurred after the Punishment participated in a mission on the east coast of the United States. Joel did not know what happened at that time. He and his team were on vacation in New York at the time, but he subconsciously thought
That mission is definitely related to this year's east coast earthquake. "It has been transferred to the chain of command." The intelligence analyst said, "Please take cover and wait for support."
Joel waved his hand and the team immediately dispersed.
They did not contact the target, but pointed their guns at the boy. The Eternal City had already evacuated the local residents, and the most abnormal thing was that a refugee appeared at this moment. However, they did not take this matter seriously.
It's too important. After all, the evacuation was not approved by name. There is no guarantee that there is really a naughty boy hiding, and they were not discovered until now. "I hate the bureaucracy." The only woman in the team opened her mask and said
"I also hate the smell of recycled air."
"Selena, if I were you, I wouldn't open it. Who knows what contamination is here." A slightly younger voice came from the team communication channel. This was Andreas, during the Hydra rebellion.
He participated in the aircraft carrier internship because of his excellent grades and narrowly escaped. When Victoria Hand cleaned up the Hydra agents on the aircraft carrier, Andreas was also pulled into the ranks of the Immortal City.
Compared to other people in the team, Andreas is much younger and follows the rules of SHIELD Academy. Veteran Selina often teases him. Others don't have many opinions because anyone can see it.
It concluded that this red-haired woman was somewhat interested in Andreas, a young man. "Biochemical contamination? Don't make me laugh. This is a common excuse we used in the past." Selina smiled while holding an experimental plasma rapid-fire rifle.
Said, "We all know that this mission has nothing to do with biochemical pollution. We are fighting the devil."
"Scientifically speaking, it should be extradimensional creatures." Andreas said dullly. He was responsible for precise shooting, so the firearm in his hand was longer, heavier and more sophisticated than other people's weapons. He was not
He always works as a sniper, but due to the current shortage of manpower, he must take over this job first. "The order requires us to take a full set of protective measures." He said, "The orders from above always make sense."
"It's also possible that I wanted to be lazy, so I didn't modify the protection program. This was the case when we were in SHIELD." Selina revealed the truth without hesitation, "If we were fighting werewolves or vampires, I would do this.
, I remember you took sick leave during that mission, Andreas." Selina turned a deaf ear to Andreas's words, and educated him with the unique leisurely attitude of a veteran, "At that time, there would be clothes.
Women in power armor serve as assaulters. We only need to clean the battlefield, but if there is any drop of enemy body fluids splashed on the skin, then this person is finished. There is no cure for the werewolf virus, and those women will kill the unlucky man on the spot.
Egg. But look at our mission this time, we are only on the edge of the battlefield. Even if we encounter the enemy, can we still grow feathers?"
"Really?" Andreas asked dubiously.
The other people in the team laughed. "It would be great if I could grow feathers." Victor, the commando, said cheerfully, "That way I can be scared when I go to the beauty salon to pull out the hair on my butt.
Those women."
"I think they're going to choose to moult you with a blowtorch, like they do with a turkey."
"Okay, be quiet! Selina, put on your mask!" Team leader Joel did not smile. He had been paying attention to the orders from his superiors in the communication channel, and used his authority to understand the transfer situation of teams at the same level as him.
As a veteran who participated in the Gulf War, Joel has been plagued by nightmares, and was later recruited directly from the army into SHIELD by Victoria Hand. Because of this, he took his team to join the Immortal City.
"Be vigilant, support has arrived."
Joel imagined who would come to provide support. It was the nearby Second Search Team, or the young women from the Sisterhood who never showed up in power armor. However, when the support actually arrived, he realized that he was terribly wrong. That was
A three-meter-tall giant wearing gorgeous golden armor rode a high-tech floating vehicle into the church. The search team was dumbfounded by this unexpected support.
"Joel, captain of the third search team of the intelligence department?" The golden giant lowered his head and stared at Joel with his blood-red eyepiece. Although the giant's tone was gentle, Joel couldn't help but feel the fear at the physiological level, as if all his attention was being absorbed.
The golden giant was stuffed. He knew that this man was the super soldier of the Immortal City, a super soldier more powerful than Captain America, and a member of the monarch's praetorian guard. He took off his helmet and shot at the others in the team.
With his eyes, he was afraid that Selina, a reckless guy, would shoot at the guards. He had seen the skills of the guards during training in the gladiatorial arena. If he wanted to, the guards could kill everyone here in the blink of an eye.
, and they didn't even have time to pull the trigger.
Joel plucked up the courage and swallowed, "Yes... yes, sir."
"I am the Praetorian Guard Constantine, here to hand over the refugees."
"It's right there, sir." Joel pointed to the marble floor in the center of the church that was covered with a thin stream of water. "We're not too close."
"You did a good job, Joel. Your team also did a good job, including the sniper who has been aiming at me." The Guards praised, "Continue your mission, I don't want to disturb you."
"Yes, sir!"
After the Praetorian Guards grabbed the boy and left the church, Joel suddenly realized that his heartbeat was alarmingly fast.
"Jesus, who is that person?" Victor came over, "How could someone be so tall? Isn't that a robot?"
"That's a Guardsman." Joel took a deep breath, "That boy... the identity of the boy we found is not simple."
