Chapter 985 Nick Fury, who wants to do something (4,000 words)
"Disappeared?"
Colson looked a little surprised.
The light emitted by the hammer disappeared?
Summoning failed?
Or does it mean that the thing that caught its attention has left?
Colson looked at the hammer in the pit. The hammer had returned to calmness, exactly as it was at the beginning.
Waited for a while.
The hammer remains unchanged.
Colson removed his hands from his waist, without letting anyone contact him on guard. He turned around and went to the research room.
······
Research room.
"Did you notice anything in the unusual movement just now?"
Coulson asked.
"There are some anomalies in the data, but so far, we don't know what these data represent. Why it suddenly glows, we don't know yet," the researchers said.
"When will we find out?"
"I can't tell you this."
"What about Professor Eric's research information? Isn't it of any use?"
"It's useful! But Professor Eric has too much research information. It may take a lot of time for us to sort it out!"
"In other words, you can't solve this problem in a short time?"
"It can't be solved."
The researcher said honestly.
Colson frowned.
These researchers are already top-notch experts at SHIELD. Even if they say this, I'm afraid it really won't be solved in a short time.
"If we can find Professor Eric, we may be able to provide a lot of help." The researcher added.
"Professor Eric?"
Colson was moved in his heart, but then he shook his head.
"This may not be possible for the time being."
The investigation of Professor Eric's identity has not yet come to an accurate conclusion, and he cannot easily let the other party join in.
"Oh well."
The researcher shrugged.
He only put forward suggestions that he thought were correct. As for whether Coulson, the chief officer, would implement them or not, that was beyond his control.
At this moment.
An agent walked in.
"Sir, the people sent by the director have arrived."
"The person sent by the director? Is it Grant Ward?"
"Yes, that's him."
"It came so quickly."
Colson murmured softly.
He turned to the researchers and said.
"You continue your research. If there are indeed problems in sorting out Eric's information, if necessary, I will arrange for people as soon as possible and send a few assistants to help."
After finishing the instructions.
Colson turned and left the laboratory.
On the way.
He whispered into the headset attached to his clothes.
"Barton, keep an eye on that hammer! Don't let anyone get close without my order! Remember, it's anyone!"
"I see!"
Hawkeye Barton's eyes twinkled slightly.
He vaguely heard some different meanings.
Didn't say much, didn't ask much.
He just quietly held the compound longbow in his hand.
······
Outside the tent.
Coulson met Grant Ward, whom he hadn't seen for many days.
Compared with before, Grant Ward is much thinner now, and his whole face is full of exhaustion.
Colson had some thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show it at all on his face.
"Ward, long time no see!"
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Grant Ward forced a smile.
Coulson expressed concern.
"How are you lately? Why do you feel like your face is a little bad?"
"It's nothing, I just finished a task and received the order from the director, so I came over here right away."
Grant Ward's expression remained unchanged and he said without any flaws.
In fact, his recent days are indeed not very good.
His biggest supporter, John Garrett, almost lost his entire family fortune because of the incident at the Red Tiger Palace.
Although it hasn't fallen down yet, it is indeed much worse than before.
At this time, he was basically the only one supporting the entire John Garrett team.
In order to support John Garrett, he had a very hard time.
"So that's it."
Colson nodded and said.
"Then you go and take a rest! I'll have someone arrange a room for you!"
"No, I can still hold on now! I have experienced more difficult things, these things are just pediatrics! Sir, please give the order!"
Grant Ward straightened up.
Coulson shook his head.
"Ward, I know you are a good soldier, but the camp is still safe and has enough manpower, so you don't need to force yourself to do anything. You should have a good rest and replenish your energy. You will be needed tomorrow.
time!"
"this······"
Grant Ward looked hesitant.
"Go for it!"
Colson's face turned serious.
"This is an order!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Grant Ward saluted.
"In that case, I'm going to take a rest!"
"Well, go ahead."
Colson called a man and asked him to take Grant Ward down to rest.
Looking at Grant Ward's leaving figure, Colson's eyes sparkled with an inexplicable luster.
I don’t know why you came here? Ward.
······
lounge.
The expressionless expression returned to Grant Ward's face.
After untying his clothes, he lay quietly on the bed and closed his eyes.
Breathe evenly.
It looks like he is asleep.
In fact.
There are many thoughts active in his mind right now.
"Has Coulson spotted me?"
Although Colson behaved exactly the same as when he saw him before. Letting him rest was ostensibly for his own good.
But Grant Ward could still feel some differences from some subtle details.
Is it because of John Garrett?
Or is it because of something else?
He also knew a lot about John Garrett's recent experiences.
He was the adopted son of John Garrett, and he was raised as an heir. John Garrett would not hide many things from him.
Although Alexander Pierce worked for Hydra so that John Garrett could feel at ease and did not tell him that Nick Fury had targeted him, John Garrett himself was not an easy man.
Even though his family fortune is almost gone, he can still find out a lot of things just by relying on the influence he has built up over the years in SHIELD.
John Garrett learned.
For some unknown reason, Nick Fury seems to have discovered problems within S.H.I.E.L.D.
And because of his big move not long ago, Nick Fury set his sights on him.
Recalling that Alexander Pierce actually so generously entrusted him with the task of contacting the Hammer Group, John Garrett would naturally not be able to guess it.
Alexander Pierce is using him as a shield!
But even if he knew about this, John Garrett had to accept this big cake that might lead to a bomb.
He had no other way to go.
If he doesn't want to retire sadly, this is his only chance to make a comeback.
Even if this road is full of thorns, he must go down!
What's more, Nick Fury has already targeted him. Will he let him go if he chooses to retire?
Impossible.
Entered S.H.I.E.L.D.
Into the Hydra.
Is there any other way to say a safe retreat?
John Garrett, who saw through this, accepted it all without hesitation.
but.
John Garrett also made preparations.
He told Grant Ward all this.
If he fails, he hopes Grant Ward can take his place and get back to the top.
"Very few people know about my relationship with my godfather. Coulson has no reason to suspect me."
Grant Ward was puzzled.
His relationship with John Garrett is not known to many people in SHIELD, not even the Hydra organization within SHIELD.
He can be said to be one of Hydra's deepest secrets hidden within SHIELD.
It's a bad thing to say.
If John Garrett dies and Alexander Pierce's plan fails, he is one of the most likely future leaders of Hydra!
For a person like him, the level of confidentiality of his identity is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary Hydras.
He usually communicated with John Garrett through hidden lines, and the two parties had never even met in formal occasions.
How could an outsider connect them?
Grant Ward was puzzled.
"Am I too sensitive?"
He hesitated in his heart.
Maybe he really thought too much.
Coulson didn't suspect him, it was just some small changes, which didn't explain anything.
Maybe someone said something bad about Coulson around him?
These are all possible.
Grant Ward felt that maybe he really didn’t need to think too much.
I thought so in my heart.
Grant Ward reminded himself secretly.
You must be more careful next time!
Coulson may not doubt him now, but if some of his performances attract the other party's attention, it would be hard to say.
······
With the arrival of Grant Ward, other SHIELD agents arrived one after another.
This operation was a temporary deployment, so it was not a unified team of agents, but a relatively fragmented one.
Basically, I transferred a few from here, a few from there, and then they got together and came here.
Colson arranged them one by one.
Some arrange for them to rest, and some arrange for them to participate in work.
It's all based on their personal status, there's no difference.
Those who were assigned jobs were placed in the most appropriate positions with reference to the positions they were originally good at.
The first level, the second level and even the third level have new agents joining them.
No one can figure out what's wrong with this.
"Have all the people sent by the director arrived?"
"Everyone has arrived."
An agent assistant said.
Colson looked at the schedule in his hand, checked something in his mind, and then closed it directly.
"Okay, so be it."
He asked his assistant to leave.
Then he took out a walkie-talkie.
"The highest alert has been lifted! From now on, return to normal alert status!"
Give an order.
The entire camp changed instantly, and the atmosphere became less serious.
certainly.
Normal patrols are still there, but the agents no longer have their hands on their waists at all times, ready to draw out their guns and shoot at any time.
······
"What does Nick Fury want?"
Fang Mu turned around and gave the camp a strange look.
With a sweep of his mental power, he immediately knew who Nick Fury had sent.
He had already read the information on SHIELD's internal personnel.
With his current memory, he could already remember it all after reading it once.
Coupled with the help of an unknown agent, he knew very well who was a SHIELD agent and who was a Hydra agent.
Not all of the dozen or so agents sent by Nick Fury are from Hydra, but at least 90% of them are!
It's not yet a few years from now.
Today.
Hydra's proportion in SHIELD is probably more than 30%, close to 40%.
Even if you choose according to the proportion, you should not get a proportion that is 90% Hydra.
These people are not selected according to the complete team.
If we draw based on complete teams, and accidentally draw one or two Hydra teams, it is not impossible to achieve such a ratio.
But Fang Mu knew.
These more than ten agents were drawn from nine entire teams.
Some teams will assign one person, and some teams will assign two or three people. The number of people assigned is not fixed, and there is no connection.
Under such circumstances, 90% was extracted.
If there's nothing fishy here, he wouldn't believe it even if he beat Nick Fury to death!
"I just dumped Grant Ward, and Nick Fury actually found so many people?"
Fang Mu was somewhat surprised.
Yes.
He was the one who sold Grant Ward.
Sold for five million.
The price is okay.
I didn’t directly say that Grant Ward was Hydra, but I just said that he had a close relationship with John Garrett.
That's enough for Nick Fury.
It can be said.
The reason why Nick Fury keeps an eye on John Garrett so closely has a lot to do with this piece of news bought for five million.
From a certain perspective.
Alexander Pierce should also thank him.
If it weren't for him, Nick Fury might have already set his sights on him.
After all, although John Garrett is also a big fish, how can he compare with the previous director?
Just because Fang Mu told Nick Fury.
He said that John Garrett had a close relationship with Grant Ward, who seemed to have nothing to do with him, so he transferred most of his attention to John Garrett.
Grant Ward is hardly a nobody.
Among the younger generation of agents, he can be said to be the best!
John Garrett may be related to Grant Ward, but is it possible that he is related to more people?
Because of this idea, Nick Fury would think of it.
On the surface, John Garrett, this big fish, seems inferior to Alexander Pierce, but what might be hiding under the water is a behemoth?
Fang Mu slightly misled and threw out Grant Ward, with the intention of buying some time for Alexander Pierce.
It's just that the current result seems to be a little beyond his expectations.
"Putting so many Hydras here, Nick Fury, what do you want to do?"
