Chapter 164 Who will take care of the aftermath (ten
A top-secret laboratory belonging to the military was razed to the ground, and giant creatures were suspected of being involved. When the news came back that night, the whole of Washington exploded.
Using the corpses of alien beasts for human experiments, there must be someone behind Ross's daring to do this, and there are many people in the top management who know about it. But whether they know it or not is one thing. After the matter is exposed, they still have to try hard to pretend
Angry, surprised, and indignant, because this is politically correct.
You can't sit calmly in a chair while your colleagues are setting off a wave of denunciation, waving to you while drinking tea: "Sit down, sit down, aren't they just a few monsters, what's the big deal? We have even crazier things.
Haven’t you done it before?”
If someone dares to say that, then his days in the White House are probably over.
With such a huge mess, someone must come out to deal with the aftermath if something goes wrong. Logically speaking, this matter should be the fault of the military, and the military should be responsible for dealing with it. However, all the big guys who secretly gave Ross support were
He became a mute, and everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb and pretended not to know. All the senior officials with a little normal brains knew that this was a hot potato. Everyone was pushing and pushing, but no one was willing to pick it up. The Pentagon had been trying to pull each other for a long time, but there was no result.
, no one is willing to come out and take this hard job.
In the end, the White House was helpless. The President had to come to Lu Dan to discuss it, saying, Director Fury, your mothership is relatively close and is convenient for dispatching. Why don't you go and clean it up?
Fury doesn't care. Anyway, theoretically at this stage, the SHIELD organization does not exist at all. Their nature and status are very special. Neither the White House nor the Pentagon actually has the authority to directly command them. So the President can only fight with him.
After discussing it, if Luo Dan just mentioned a reason like lack of staff, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
But after all, Director Fury is different from those politicians who play ball. He simply agreed to Mr. President’s request. However, he also said that it would be difficult to clean up such a big mess without money. As the saying goes, a clever woman
It is difficult to make a meal without rice, and the funds must be in place first before things can be done easily.
The President was having trouble finding a person in charge. Now he wanted to find someone to take over the job, and any conditions were negotiable. So as soon as he heard that Braised Eggs only wanted money, the President immediately agreed.
He said that you just go ahead and do it, the funding issue is easy to discuss, I will find a solution!
However, SHIELD is usually under the responsibility of the World Security Council, and Mr. President obviously does not know much about the operation of SHIELD and Director Fury's style of conduct. If someone from the Council were to communicate, they would definitely know such an ironclad thread.
Then - you can say anything to Nick Fury, an old fox, but when it comes to money, you must not be too frank. Because you will never know how much he will ask for when he opens his mouth...
When the braised egg promised to be on me, Mr. President finally breathed a sigh of relief. He also thought to himself that Director Fury was really reliable. Those bastards could kick the ball faster than the World Cup players at the critical moment. It was completely
We can't count on it. However, at this time, Mr. President has not realized the problem...
Another thing the President didn't know was that he had already arrived at the ruins of the base when Fury spoke to him on the phone.
Richard, who was with SHIELD, came over and asked: "What's going on?"
"Nothing." Fury calmly put away the phone, "Mr. President paid for SHIELD to clean up the scene."
Richard couldn't help but look sideways at the braised eggs.
Therefore, Fury's guess is that the President may have asked him to do this work long ago, and even if there is no such request, he actually has such plans. The failed experiments left in General Ross's laboratory, the remains of alien beasts, etc.
It must be completely destroyed, not a single cell can be left, and he couldn't sleep without personally confirming the destruction of these things.
Anyway, he was already doing the work, so it would be great if Mr. President called and offered to send money. Lu Dan said that the more money, the better, the more the better...
Fury personally inspected the abandoned base, and at the same time asked Richard about the situation last night. Richard briefly told him about the humanoid alien beasts, and also told him about the abominable corpses and aliens that Ross had
A monster created by the combination of animal factors. Speaking of this part, even Fury couldn't help but be a little surprised. Even he didn't expect that Rose would be so crazy.
And when Richard finally mentioned the existence of the one, Fury couldn't calm down.
"The origin of the alien beast?" he asked.
"Theoretically, it should be." Richard nodded, "The One is the ancestor of all alien beasts, and theoretically the most powerful one. It can evolve infinitely by devouring other creatures."
"Infinite evolution?" Fury felt that this word was a bit offensive, "How strong can it be?"
"I'm not sure either. But try to be optimistic..." Richard thought for a while, "Destroying the earth or something will definitely be no problem."
Fury stared at him with that one eye.
"Be conservative, seriously?" He looked unconvinced, "What about the worst direction?"
"Destruction of the universe." Richard spread his hands, "Please don't look at me like that, I'm not kidding. I'm just trying to tell you that the consequences of letting it grow will be disastrous, and you must solve it as soon as possible. It
If you want to grow, you must keep eating, especially if you like to eat people, you SHIELD better pay more attention to it."
Fury nodded: "We will. We will notify you if we find anything."
Although the main work was contracted by Lu Dan, after all, the basket was dug out by the military, and it was not like they were completely indifferent. So as a representative, Brigadier General Tarbot also came to the site to supervise the work in person.
Of course Brigadier Tarbert had been informed of the situation in Ross's laboratory before. He secretly cursed Ross for having a headache and had to try his best to cover up the matter.
Although a certain lighthouse country claims to be democratic, if something goes wrong and it covers up, many of its colleagues around the world will have to bow down. Brigadier Tarbert came to inspect the base, but he didn't know whether it was due to his old eyesight or something else.
Anyway, he didn't seem to see the claw marks on the broken wall, the footprints on the ground, or the armor plates that were obviously deformed by the huge force. He also brought a guy who was said to be a survey expert, and he pretended to be a child.
After wandering around the scene where I could see that something was wrong, I finally came to the conclusion that the explosion was caused by an accident in the laboratory.
Brigadier General Tarbert was a little nervous when he finally mentioned this conclusion to Fury. After all, SHIELD is not a regular organization. God knows whether Fury would have a twitch in his head and say that they must act realistically and according to the regulations. Then Tarbert's mission would be very different.
It would be difficult to communicate.
Fortunately, Fury didn't embarrass him. He just nodded lightly, meaning it's up to you. If you want to explode, you can explode. I can't control it anyway.
Brigadier General Tarbert breathed a sigh of relief, and his work was considered completed. Anyway, he was only a nominal representative, and the remaining messy things were left to SHIELD to deal with them slowly.
However, Brigadier General Tarbert didn't know that although Fury acquiesced to them making up random conclusions about the accident, Fury also intentionally or unintentionally "forgot" to tell them that there was a member of the press at the scene. Although S.H.I.E.L.D.
I don’t even plan to say it, but this media boss may not necessarily say...
