The corner of Steve's mouth twitched, and he looked at Nick Fury speechlessly.
In the end, Nick Fury waved his hand helplessly and sighed: "It's okay, Captain, this hammer is not a good thing to begin with..."
Anyway, since the hammer is now cracked, it is useless to say anything, Nick Fury can only say this.
Steve picked up the hammer head that was split in half from the ground and looked at the cross section. It was just ordinary steel, which was far different from his Adamantium alloy shield.
So much so that he just touched the shield with it and it shattered.
Steve curled his lips. If his shield and the hammer were swapped and appeared in the crater, it would still match the quality of the crater.
Steve thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Director, could this hammer... be a counterfeit?"
"Uh... it's also possible..." Nick Furry pondered for a moment and said.
In fact, he had already suspected that there was only a stainless steel hammer in the crater that could cause such a huge change in the energy field. This was really unreasonable. But there was no evidence.
At this moment, the door to the underground research institute opened again.
A graceful-looking woman walked in with an elegant demeanor.
Holding a document in her hand, she came to Nick Fury and handed it to him: "Director, satellite surveillance captured that the Umbrella Company sent people to surround the crater."
"Oh? Is this the case?" Nick Fury raised his eyebrows.
He took the information from Hill, and on the satellite footage, he could vaguely see some engineering vehicles and workers gathered around the crater in New Mexico.
They have even built a fence around the crater and established a temporary base.
Steve also walked up to Nick Fury at this time. He glanced at the satellite image and said loudly: "Director, it looks like you have been tricked..."
Nick Fury's expression turned gloomy. If there was really nothing special in this crater, why would the people from Umbrella appear around the crater?
In his impression, Edward was not the kind of person who would just sit around and have fun. He must be profitable by doing this, Nick Fury thought in his mind.
Thinking of this, Nick Fury turned to Coulson and said: "Agent Coulson, I need to trouble you. You have to take some people to New Mexico to see what the people from the Umbrella Company are doing there."
"No problem, Director." Coulson agreed immediately. He is one of the top model workers in SHIELD. If the Director issues a task, he will definitely be the first to catch up.
However, Coulson looked a little worried. He thought of the mysterious woman following Edward, a person who could control strange energy.
If she was also stationed around the crater and she just brought a few agents there, she might not be able to get close to the crater and be driven back.
Seemingly aware of Coulson's worries, Nick Fury then said: "Agent Coulson, don't worry, I will ask Steve to follow you there."
"You would agree, Captain?" Nick Fury looked at Steve and said with a smile.
Although the tone was inquiring, the look in his eyes was almost like a command.
Steve shrugged: "I can go."
"But, don't I need to monitor Pierce?" Steve asked.
After all, Nick Fury had previously placed him in the Tri-Wing Building to guard against Pierce.
"I'll let Hawkeye go over and replace you." Nick Fury was already prepared for this.
"You have been staying at SHIELD headquarters for so long, and this time you go out on a mission, Captain, you can treat it as a side trip," Nick Fury continued.
"Forget it, I can't afford to enjoy it." Steve muttered, picked up his shield, turned around and left the underground research institute.
…
…
On the S.H.I.E.L.D. side, Nick Fury was arranging manpower and preparing to go to New Mexico again. In a small town in New Mexico, Edward finally waited for the person he needed.
The helicopter slowly landed on the helipad on the roof of a villa. The hatch opened and two people got off the plane.
Edward chuckled at the two people in front of him and said, "Everyone, welcome to New Mexico."
The two people who came here this time, one is the current person in charge of Industrial Park No. 4, Ivan.
The other one was Scott, who came with the Wasp uniform.
Now, hundreds of meters underground in the crater, Dr. Eric is the only one conducting research on Thor's hammer. Edward called Ivan over to see if he could tinker with anything on Thor's hammer.
In fact, he had already asked Ivan to come over the day before yesterday. Yesterday, he and Scott took the same plane and arrived here.
"Boss, didn't you want me to bring some wasp shells? I'm ready." At this time, Scott took the initiative to step forward and said.
He took out a black glass box from his pocket. After opening it, there were several wasps placed inside.
However, they only have the outer shell. The flesh and blood inside has been removed by Scott with a straw, and now only the outer skin is left.
This is Edward's request for Scott. Now that he has these skins, Scott can put on the wasp suit and shrink himself into these wasp skins to disguise himself as a real bee.
In this way, when Loki comes to earth, you can get closer to him more secretly.
Using the illusion of bees, the Frost Giant blood was collected from him.
Seeing this, Edward nodded with satisfaction. But after thinking about it, he asked: "Mr. Scott, how are you adapting to this outfit now?"
Edward was asking Scott about his proficiency in using the Wasp suit.
Scott replied with some confidence: "Boss, I feel like there is nothing wrong with me anymore!"
"I can even demonstrate it for you later," Scott added.
Edward chuckled and nodded. In that case, that's great.
Everyone turned and walked downstairs. On the stairs, Ivan walked beside Edward and told him something. It was about a batch of whip cord devices ordered by the US military.
After those biological and chemical weapons were purchased by the US military, Justin highly praised the whip cord device developed by Ivan - of course, it was also under the name of Hammer Industries, but Ivan didn't care too much about these things.
Edward was unconvinced. As long as the funds were actually received in the end, it didn't matter if Justin blew the whistle.
