I will enjoy… using you… but not now." Zhou Ye smiled and gently tapped Shuri's brow. "But only after you completely submit…"
"Bang—" Shuri felt herself being blasted away by a tremendous force. Then, she saw her own body… but what horrified her was that her own body was actually talking to her master.
"You… how did you discover it?" At this moment, Shuri's face completely lacked the weak expression she previously wore, replaced by a heroic and spirited look.
"I'm curious… are you one entity with two souls, or what?" Zhou Ye took a few steps back, not answering Shuri's question, but instead asking in return.
"It's just an ancient form of witchcraft originating from the Kingdom of Wakanda. It can create a virtual soul to temporarily take over tasks that the main soul is unwilling to accept." Shuri spoke as she slowly stood up. "Your so-called Soul Stone, our Soul Lands taught our tribe's witches this simple little bit of witchcraft…"
"Did you use such methods to deceive Emma and the others?" Zhou Ye certainly knew what his women were doing. He naturally knew about Ophelia's invasion of the Kingdom of Wakanda, but he didn't care at all. To him… are black ghosts even people?? Don't be ridiculous…
"I don't know who Emma is…" Shuri said, stretching her body. "Ever since I was captured by your daughter, the part of me that knew her intentions created this virtual soul to take over my body and prevent brainwashing… It seems the effect is quite good. Now, I've been brought to your side…"
"Oh? What do you plan to do?" Zhou Ye smiled, some interesting things were about to happen.
"Of course, blood debts must be repaid in blood… The blood debt of the Kingdom of Wakanda needs you to repay… Prepare to die." As Shuri spoke, she activated the Black Panther suit on her body. In the blink of an eye, a female Black Panther with a fiery figure appeared.
"As far as I know, your tribesmen, your parents, and siblings have all been sent to the Void Lands. If you kill me, how will you save your people?" Zhou Ye looked at Shuri without any tension, a mocking smile on his face.
"As long as I capture you, everything will be over…" Shuri said, suddenly leaping forward, clawing at Zhou Ye's shoulder, clearly deliberately avoiding Zhou Ye's vital points.
"You're really confident…" Zhou Ye smiled even more happily. "Then, could this confident little girl please tell me, shouldn't a manufactured virtual soul be a blank slate… Why does your virtual soul possess all sorts of common sense and intelligence?"
"Just like copying a computer program…" Shuri attacked Zhou Ye with increasingly swift claws, but clearly Zhou Ye's question had also touched upon her proudest point. "I have to admit, if it weren't for the virtual soul replacing me to be brainwashed, maybe I would really have become your pet now…"
"That's truly a wonderful answer… However, I'm now very curious, what will happen when two souls originally from the same source merge?" Zhou Ye revealed a strange smile on his face. He had been teasing this black girl… now is the time to experiment with this theory.
"What…?" Shuri was stunned for a moment. Her intuition told her, this was bad… but it was already too late.
"Come, my little pet, come and merge with your main soul…" Zhou Ye said, flashing directly behind Shuri. Before Shuri could react, he grabbed Shuri's neck, and with his other hand, he clawed at a certain position in mid-air, and then struck down with a palm, as if driving something into Shuri's body.
"Hmm—this is just the beginning." Zhou Ye muttered to himself, his figure reappearing in front of Shuri. His thumb directly pressed on the center of Shuri's brow… and he shouted loudly. "Merge—!"
Shuri's main soul only felt a burst of dizziness. This instant felt like more than a month had passed. She experienced many things… being trained, being brainwashed… having her emotions invaded… one by one, things she had watched from the sidelines in the past were now happening to her.
"Ah————————1! ! !" A sharp pain in her brain caused Shuri to faint directly.
"What an interesting little black girl." Zhou Ye smiled. Being proficient in astral projection and soul magic, he knew the impropriety on Shuri's body at the first glance… "She's a good pet…"
"I… what's wrong with me?" After an unknown amount of time, Shuri regained consciousness.
"Come, Shuri… come to master's side." A magnetic voice sounded. Shuri narrowed her eyes and looked over. It was the culprit she had just wanted to capture, and he wanted her to go over? Did he want to die?
However, something that terrified Shuri happened. Shuri's body moved on its own… obediently walking to Zhou Ye's side, like a black kitten, curled up in Zhou Ye's arms… "This… what exactly is going on? What did you do to me?"
"I just helped you merge the two souls together." Zhou Ye smiled, gently stroking the black kitten's back. He had to say, the little black girl's skin was really good… "It's just that after the fusion, her instincts are trained, far exceeding your instincts, so… she took over the job of your soul's instincts."
"I… I'll kill you…" Shuri suddenly jumped up, put on the Black Panther suit in mid-air, and rushed towards Zhou Ye, who was sitting on the sofa, with a fierce aura.
"Be good… come, lie down in front of me…" With Zhou Ye's order, Shuri found that her body once again disobeyed her command and made a move that made her want to commit suicide…
"I will kill you… I must kill you…" Shuri was going crazy.
"Hmm—a pet actually wants to kill its master. This behavior must be punished." Zhou Ye smiled slightly. He was having a lot of fun. "Shuri, come over here and get in position yourself…"
"No… no—" Shuri desperately discovered that she couldn't control her body at all. Her body actually obediently walked directly to Zhou Ye and lay down in front of him in an orz position…
"What a good pet… it's just missing a tail…" Zhou Ye looked at the dark-skinned girl in despair before him, and a thought popped into his mind. Could this… be considered a man-made tsundere?
Forget it, never mind… Anyway, Zhou Ye wouldn't allow any unstable factors to appear around him, especially since this was a gift from his little padded jacket. There's no need to hurt his little padded jacket's feelings, right? So what if she's dark-skinned… her features are still those of a beauty. Anyway, it's just as a pet…
Chapter 652
Massachusetts – Cambridge.
It's that time of year again, the autumn semester… The small town of Cambridge is filled with parents sending their children to school from all over the world. After all, this small town is home to two of the world's most famous universities—MIT and Harvard.
"Mom, I can really take care of myself, you can go back now…" At the entrance of MIT, a beautiful girl with long, light golden hair was talking to her mother. Clearly, from her words, it was easy to see that she didn't want her mother to send her to school.
"Jane… are you really sure you can handle it all by yourself?" Mrs. Foster asked with some concern.
"I'm sure!" Jane Foster said confidently: "Mom, I'm all grown up, trust me, I can do it…"
"Alright, dear." Mrs. Foster could only nod helplessly. "Will you be back for dinner tonight?"
After all, thanks to Mr. Foster, their family lived in Cambridge. Who told Mr. Foster to be a professor at Harvard University…
"No, Mom!" Jane Foster said, picking up her small rolling suitcase and walking towards the school gate…
Since her father was a professor at Harvard University, why didn't she apply to Harvard University and instead applied to MIT? Of course… the reason Jane gave her parents on the surface was: In astrophysics research, MIT ranks one place higher than Harvard, although one is first and the other is second… The real reason was: Jane Foster wanted to leave home and experience a free campus life…
After all, she was at the age where she yearned for freedom…
Jane Foster heard the sound of the car engine fading away behind her, and her steps couldn't help but become lighter. Ha… the free campus life was finally about to begin…
Speaking of a free life, Jane Foster simply had the urge to cry and find someone to confide in… Ever since she was fourteen and received her first love letter from a boy, her road to romance had never been smooth.
Either the other party stood her up after she arrived at the date location, and then suddenly became distant the next day, or the boys who pursued her were suddenly exposed to various scandals on campus… and directly expelled from school. To this day, she can still say that she is a blank slate in terms of romance and has never even had a proper date, let alone holding hands or anything like that.
Jane Foster even knew that those guys at school secretly gave her a nickname called [Jinx…] meaning that whoever pursues her is unlucky…
But—God always opens a window for you after closing a door in your life. At least Jane Foster thought so. When others were busy with various social activities under the moonlight, she, who no one dared to provoke, could only study hard and review frantically… Finally, she became a female academic… and was admitted to a higher institution that others dreamed of.
Table flip—who the hell wants such a window. Jane Foster also wanted to have a romantic encounter at the most beautiful moment of her life… to meet the right person and walk down the aisle together…
So, for this goal, she chose MIT in order to eliminate all obstacles and have a beautiful encounter in her life…
Jane Foster walked towards the dormitory area, pulling her suitcase, while planning her future free college life in her head… Registration? She had already registered a long time ago. After all, being close to the water makes it easier to get the moon. Now she only needed to drag her luggage to the dormitory. She only hoped that her future roommate wouldn't be a difficult person…
"Bang—!"
"Ah—!!"
Jane Foster, who was pulling her luggage and thinking about things, only felt like she had bumped into a wall, and suddenly a cold sensation filled her upper body… causing her to scream in surprise.
"Sorry, sorry… I'm so sorry." A magnetic male voice sounded, causing Jane Foster to temporarily suppress her anger and raise her head.
She saw a blonde boy with a height of about 1.9 meters standing in front of her. On this boy's handsome face, Jane saw a hint of shyness (are you sure?) and a hint of guilt (fake… ). This made Jane unable to blame this big boy who had completely poured a cup of iced cola on her. "It's… it's nothing."
Oh my god—this boy is so beautiful… Jane felt her heart beating faster. Could this be the legendary love at first sight? Is this a fateful encounter?
"Or, how about I help you wipe it off…" Zhou Ye said, and without waiting for Jane to object, he raised his arm and took off the short-sleeved T-shirt he was wearing, seemingly clumsily wanting to help Jane Foster wipe off the cola on her body.
"No… no need…" Jane Foster saw Zhou Ye's strong and powerful muscle groups and mermaid line on his upper body, and she couldn't say the words of refusal anymore… Was the sun a little too strong today? Why did she feel a little thirsty?
It wasn't until Zhou Ye's crumpled t-shirt wiped her chest that Jane Foster suddenly woke up, but strangely, she didn't feel like Zhou Ye had taken advantage of her… "It's okay… I can do it myself."
"Then here… you can do it yourself." Zhou Ye didn't decline and directly handed his t-shirt to Jane Foster. Taking the t-shirt that still had a trace of body temperature from Zhou Ye's hand, Jane Foster's hand felt a little trembling.
In fact, a voice in her heart was screaming, asking his name... asking his name.
"My name is Jane Foster, I'm a freshman this year, what about you?" Jane finally decided to listen to the voice in her heart and asked directly.
"My name is Zhou Ye..." The blond boy smiled shyly? and said, "Uh, actually I'm here to find someone..."
"You're of Chinese descent? You can't tell at all. Are you here to find your girlfriend?" Jane pretended to be indifferent and asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Uh, no, actually it's..." Zhou Ye looked around cautiously, then mysteriously leaned close to Jane and whispered, "Okay, actually I'm a special agent..."
"A special agent? FBI? CIA?" Jane actually believed Zhou Ye's nonsense, which made Zhou Ye feel bad about deceiving this innocent girl.
"Okay... I apologize." Zhou Ye sighed and said, "I admit that I'm not a special agent... I just saw a beautiful girl and couldn't help but want to get to know this girl who touched my heart..."
"So you're actually a student at MIT?" Jane's eyebrows curved into a crescent moon. She wasn't angry at all about Zhou Ye's deception just now, but instead felt a faint sense of joy lingering in her heart.
"Although I'd love to say I am... unfortunately, I'm not." Zhou Ye shrugged helplessly. He really didn't want to study at university again. Besides, he knew quite a few people at MIT...
You should know that when Nina gave her graduation speech, it could be said that almost all the teachers and students of the school attended. At that time, Nina's final declaration of love also earned Zhou Ye a lot of attention, and some of the students from that class stayed at the school to teach... Zhou Ye didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
"Then you..." To be honest, when Jane heard that Zhou Ye wasn't a student at MIT, her heart skipped a beat. It wasn't that she looked down on students from non-famous schools, but... her first thought was, how would she be able to find this young man in the future?
But to ask someone for their contact information as soon as you meet them is really not something a lady can do... Jane Foster was both anxious and embarrassed...
Chapter 653
"So, did you deliberately spill the Coke on me just now?" Jane Foster suddenly had a good idea.
"Uh—" Zhou Ye nodded embarrassedly. He was addicted to playing innocent. "Okay, I admit I did it on purpose just now. I'm really very sorry... I'm sorry..."
"Is saying sorry enough?" Jane Foster looked like she wouldn't let him off the hook. "So you think a simple sorry can erase the mistakes you've made?"
"Okay... I..." Zhou Ye was interrupted by Jane Foster before he could finish speaking. "Give me your phone..."
"I don't have a phone..." This time Zhou Ye really wasn't lying, he really didn't have a phone, only a personal terminal. Although that kind of thing can dial phone numbers, it's really not suitable for Jane Foster to see, at least not now.
"Then where do you live?" Jane Foster asked relentlessly.
"Boston..." Zhou Ye reported the location of the nearest residence to here. Jane Foster almost had the urge to facepalm. It was so far away, how could she see him? "I mean your residence in Cambridge..."
"I don't have one..."
"What do you mean by 'I don't have one'?"
"It means exactly what it says..."
"You're not planning to stay here permanently?"
"I'm just here for tourism..." Zhou Ye's answer made Jane Foster's heart tighten. She had an indescribable feeling. Could it be that this time she really missed out again? Could it be that an encounter is just an encounter after all?
Jane Foster fell silent. She pulled her suitcase and walked silently towards the student dormitory, while Zhou Ye followed beside her. A boy wearing nothing on his upper body followed closely beside a girl pulling a suitcase. No matter how you looked at it, the scene was awkward.
Fortunately, this was a university in America, and they were tolerant of certain not-too-excessive performance art. ... Until she walked to the entrance of MIT's strangely shaped dormitory building, Jane Foster couldn't think of a way to stay in touch in the future...
"That... I have to go." Zhou Ye said, pretending that he was really about to leave. In fact, this guy was just pretending. He believed that with the mental suggestion just now, he had already completely imprinted his figure in Jane's heart, and Jane would definitely think of a way to keep him.
However, to his disappointment, Jane, this newbie in love, really didn't know how to keep Zhou Ye... In the end, she could only hum in response, indicating that she had heard Zhou Ye's words.
But she was holding on tightly to the T-shirt she had just used as a towel and had no intention of returning it to Zhou Ye.
Sigh—forget it. Zhou Ye sighed inwardly. It seemed that he still had to find a reason for this silly girl... Thinking of this, he pressed a button on the personal terminal behind him.
At this time, in an invisible shuttle more than ten thousand feet above the ground... a group of girls wearing black Shadow Guard costumes were busy, and sitting on the command platform was none other than Ying Yi, who was inseparable from Zhou Ye.
"Leader, Master has just pressed the selection key for Support Plan No. 3." A girl with chestnut-colored long hair walked up to Ying Yi and said respectfully.
"Then execute Plan No. 3..." Ying Yi leaned lazily on the command chair and said, "The meaning of the existence of our Shadow Guards is to be able to provide Master with various support anytime, anywhere, whether it is killing people and setting fires, or protecting Master's safety, or creating conditions for Master to pick up girls... These all fall within the scope of our work. In summary, we are Master's most powerful arm."
"What the leader said is too good..." The Shadow Guard girls all had shining eyes and nodded, saying, "That's right, we are Master's most powerful arm, we are irreplaceable..."
"So, in order to prove that you are more excellent than Master's maidservant, please continue to work hard for Master..."
"Yes, Leader."
With Ying Yi's bewitching words, the Shadow Guard girls started working vigorously.
"Air humidity—excellent."
"Cloud thickness—excellent."
"It is recommended to use artificial rainfall..."
"Request for artificial rainfall approved, prepare to launch the catalyst missile."
"Catalyst missile is ready, ten-second countdown to launch—ten... three, two, one. Launch."
With more than a dozen muffled sounds... the clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, gradually giving people a feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city.
"It's going to rain heavily... It seems you can't leave for the time being..." Jane Foster couldn't help but look up when she heard the muffled sound. When she saw the dark clouds in the sky, she was overjoyed. What is this called? This is called a marriage made in heaven... This is called the will of heaven, and Jane Foster, who was in a happy mood, immediately found many more reasons. "Also, your T-shirt is stained with Coke, and it needs to be washed... It just so happens that my dormitory has a hair dryer, why don't you come up with me for a while, and I can help you wash it quickly..."
"Okay." Zhou Ye finally waited for this moment, how could he refuse?
"Great... oh, no, I mean the weather is really terrible." Jane Foster almost jumped up happily when she heard Zhou Ye's answer, and suppressing the urge to sing loudly, she turned around and led Zhou Ye towards her dormitory that she had visited once...
"Don't be in the dormitory... Don't be in the dormitory..." Jane Foster secretly prayed in her heart that her roommate, whom she had never met, would not be in the dormitory, and used the key to open the door. Great, that roommate was really not there.
"Please come in..." Jane Foster said, letting Zhou Ye into the room...
Zhou Ye walked into Jane's dormitory. This was a small suite that was not very big. It should be said that it was worthy of being an international famous university? The decoration of this room was already comparable to the suite of some hotels.
"Please sit wherever you like, I need to change my clothes first." Jane Foster said, pointing to her somewhat blackened dress. After all, a cup of Coke was poured on her body. She didn't feel it just now, but when it was half-dry, that sticky feeling came, making it really unbearable.
"Okay..." Zhou Ye nodded with a smile. "I'm really sorry, it's all my fault..."
"Yeah, that's right, it's really your fault, so, we're not done yet..." Jane said, making a fierce expression, and then picked up her suitcase and rushed into the room labeled with her initials.
"Hehe..." To be honest, Jane's expression wasn't fierce at all, but instead gave Zhou Ye a very cute feeling, making Zhou Ye couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
However, Jane, who rushed into the room to change clothes, soon realized that she had miscalculated... After a high-sugar drink like Coke was poured on her body, it made her body sticky when it was half-dry, and changing clothes couldn't solve the problem at all...
Jane wanted to take a shower, but she was afraid that Zhou Ye would get impatient and turn around and leave... After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to take a cool shower, but before that, she had to warn a certain bad guy, and couldn't let him get away...
"That... I'm going to take a cool shower... Can you wait for me for a while??"
"Of course... no problem."
"Don't go... we're not done yet." Jane Foster closed the shower door while pretending to wave her little fist.
"..." Zhou Ye shook his head speechlessly, not fierce at all...
Chapter 654
Jane Foster rushed into the shower, washing the cola off her body under the showerhead, feeling an impulse to crawl into a crack in the ground…
"Oh my god… what have I become…" Jane covered her face.
"Will Zhou think I'm a very casual woman?" Jane struggled.
"…But he said he spilled the cola on me to get to know me, so does that mean he has feelings for me too?" But when Jane thought of Zhou Ye's words, she couldn't help but cup her cheeks with her hands and reveal a smile…
"Restraint… restraint, Miss Foster… you must be restrained, don't let Zhou think you're a frivolous woman, I know Chinese people are very conservative…" Jane gently patted her cheeks, trying to sober up. When you care too much about someone, you always become anxious…
Jane Foster was now in such a situation. She was sure she had fallen in love with Zhou Ye at first sight, but… she was struggling between taking the initiative and slowly brewing the relationship.
Zhou Ye, sitting in the living room, heard Jane Foster's muttering clearly… As expected of the little girl I arranged for the Shadow Guards to cultivate since she was young… But to be honest, Zhou Ye felt a little regretful that he didn't appear when Jane Foster was thirteen years old.
Why do I say that?
Because the person playing Jane Foster is the same little girl from [Léon: The Professional].
That's right, this Jane Foster is the Jane who will meet Thor in the future, but now Zhou Ye has intercepted her in advance…
Zhou Ye doesn't have a special hobby of picking up broken shoes. When he can meet the other party at their best age, why wait until the girl becomes a woman before making a move? That kind of behavior is too stupid.
Zhou Ye just sat in the living room, leisurely listening to Jane Foster's muttering. To be honest, Zhou Ye worked hard for this encounter, such as subtle psychological cues at first sight, etc…
If it were Zhou Ye's usual personality, he would have rushed in to shower with Jane… I believe Jane would eventually forgive him, but this time Zhou Ye doesn't plan to do that… Because there's another little surprise.
"Huh? You are…?" A girl with long black hair rushed into the dormitory in a bit of a mess. The first thing she saw when she came in was Zhou Ye, who was sitting on the sofa with his back to her. For a girl… seeing a strange man in her dormitory couldn't help but make her full of vigilance, but when Zhou Ye turned around, she pounced on him.
"Ye—you're here."
"Shh—!" Zhou Ye made a silencing gesture, "Quiet, Daisy baby…"
"Is my roommate who hasn't arrived yet your new target? You heartless bastard." Daisy gritted her teeth and rushed over, straddling Zhou Ye directly, holding Zhou Ye's cheeks hatefully, and biting down. "I'll bite you to death, you bastard… Mmm… Mmm mmm…"
Finally, when the two separated, Daisy's little face was already flushed. "You bastard, you said I could see you when I got to MIT… As a result, I've been looking for you for days…"
"Didn't I come here…" Zhou Ye comforted in a low voice. Daisy is Jane Foster's friend, Darcy Lewis. This was the first target Zhou Ye had in mind. There was no way around it, who told Daisy to have a good pair of F-cups? Of course, Daisy was also watched growing up by the Shadow Guards… For Zhou Ye, he would definitely drink the first soup when he could.
"But you came for that Jane…" Daisy said somewhat aggrievedly. She had seen the name tag on her roommate's door, so she naturally knew the name of her future roommate…
"Didn't I find you a close comrade-in-arms…" Zhou Ye's shamelessness had broken through the sky. "Otherwise, you faint every time… how tiring…"
"Hmph…" Although Zhou Ye's words didn't satisfy Daisy, she had no other choice. She couldn't leave Zhou Ye. Since she couldn't resist, she could only enjoy it… "Where's your little pet? Didn't you bring her?"
"Cough cough… Shuri asked me to stay in New York…" Zhou Ye said somewhat awkwardly.
"Okay… it seems I really need a comrade-in-arms, otherwise I'll really be killed by you…" Daisy said, rolling her eyes and drawing circles on her man's chest with her fingertips. "Do you want me to help you deal with that Jane?"
"How to deal with it?" Zhou Ye asked curiously.
"Watch me…" Daisy said triumphantly, standing up and walking directly to her room. "But before that, I have to change my clothes, it feels really uncomfortable to be soaked all over…"
"Okay…" Zhou Ye looked at Daisy, who was indeed soaked all over by the rain. It seemed that the heavy rain outside was very urgent.
"Honey, do you want to come in and help me change my clothes?" Daisy winked at Zhou Ye, and then slammed the door shut before Zhou Ye could speak… Just kidding, it's okay to tease him, but if she really makes her man anxious, she'll be the one paying the price. She has a deep understanding of this…
Just as Daisy walked into her room, the door of the shower room opened, and Jane, who had changed into a set of home clothes, walked out. She wiped her hair with a towel and asked, "Ye, who were you talking to just now?"
"…Your roommate…" Zhou Ye looked at the foam that hadn't been washed off Jane's calf. Obviously, this silly girl rushed out after hearing him talking to a woman…
"My roommate?" Jane frowned, "I haven't met my roommate yet, did she just come back?" Tsk, what a nuisance.
"She just came back, she's a nice girl…" Zhou Ye smiled slightly.
Just as Jane wanted to ask more questions, Daisy's room door opened… Daisy, who had changed into dry clothes, walked out and walked generously to Jane, extending her hand: "Hello, I'm Daisy, Daisy Lewis, from Nevada…"
"Hello… I'm Jane Foster." Facing Daisy's overture, Jane could only extend her hand, but when she saw the other party's dress, Jane couldn't help but feel a jump in her heart. Her roommate didn't seem to be wearing anything under her coat, but she had a lot of assets…
"Is that handsome guy your boyfriend?" Daisy didn't pay attention to Jane's somewhat ugly expression and leaned close to her ear and asked in a low voice.
"Hehe… how is that possible, we're just friends who just met today…" Jane didn't dare to say that Zhou Ye was her boyfriend, the restraint of a woman made her unable to say it… What if Zhou Ye denied it?
"Really?" Daisy's questioning gaze made Jane feel a little uncomfortable.
"Really…"
"Then I won't be polite…" Daisy said, ignoring Jane, and turned to Zhou Ye with a slight smile: "Hi, handsome, you haven't told me your name yet…"
"His name is Zhou Ye…" Before Zhou Ye could speak, Jane said it for him.
And Zhou Ye simply didn't speak, watching Daisy act there with interest… But to be honest, Jane's reaction was really too cute. That kind of tangled and determined to defend her territory looked really fun.
"Then can I call you Ye?" Daisy asked directly, not caring about Jane's words.
"You can't…" This time it was still Jane who was speaking, she said directly: "Ye is just here to help me deliver my luggage, okay, it's been delivered, you can go back…"
"It's raining so hard outside, are you going to drive your friend out…?" Daisy looked incredulous.
As soon as Jane said this, she regretted it. She just felt a sense of crisis and didn't want Zhou Ye to be with Daisy… But Daisy's words immediately put her in a very unfavorable situation. "No… actually, I meant…"
"Although I really want to go out now… but my clothes are still…" Zhou Ye shrugged helplessly.
"Ah, sorry, I forgot your clothes aren't dry yet…" Jane hurriedly took the opportunity to get off the donkey. She wanted to help Zhou Ye dry his clothes, but she didn't want to leave Zhou Ye and Daisy alone, and she was immediately tangled again.
"Anyway, it's raining so hard outside, I can't leave for the time being… let it dry slowly…" Zhou Ye once again helped Jane out of her predicament.
"Yes, yes…" Jane felt that Zhou Ye was her angel, always saving her in times of crisis.
Daisy looked at the two singing in harmony with amusement, but she wasn't in a hurry either, there was still a long time to go. "How about we play Texas Hold'em together…"
"I don't have any money…" Zhou Ye shrugged, he really didn't have any money, but if he wanted to, he could summon his personal maid to pay at any time…
"Let's drink…" Daisy said, rushing into her room and taking out two bottles of red wine from inside… "Dare you?"
Saying that, Daisy also raised her eyebrows at Jane provocatively. This action… seemed to be a signal of challenge, which made Jane impulsively say, "Come on…"
"…" Zhou Ye was speechless, he finally knew how Daisy said she would help him, was she going to get Jane drunk? As for playing Texas Hold'em, Zhou Ye admitted that if he didn't cheat, he couldn't win against Daisy… Who told her father to be a professional player, it seems… Jane has fallen into the pit and can't climb out…
Chapter 655
In Cambridge at night, a crescent moon hung high in the night sky. The heavy rain during the day seemed to wash away the heat of early autumn, bringing a cool breeze to the September night…
MIT Women's Dormitory—
"Ugh…" Jane rubbed her head, which was a little dizzy from the hangover, and slowly opened her eyes… "Huh—?"
Jane found that she seemed to be hugged tightly… and, it seemed that she felt something under her… cough cough. She endured the pain and turned around, and she was completely dumbfounded… "Ye…"
Memories gradually flooded back into her somewhat dizzy head.
[The loser drinks, are you scared?]
[Come on…]
Then it was just a scene of me constantly losing and drinking…
[Since Ye isn't your boyfriend, does that mean I can make a move?]
[Ye is mine, I won't give him to you…]
[Everyone compete fairly…]
[Daisy, I hate you, why are you fighting over Ye with me?]
[Good things are naturally fought over, only trash is left unwanted.]
[Ye is mine… I absolutely won't give him to you.]
[Prove it to me…]
[Look—Ye even let me kiss him… so he's mine.]
[That doesn't prove anything, I kissed him too.]
[You… I hate you, Daisy. Ye, hold me, tell her, you're mine…]
[Hmph, Jian, you're too naive… love isn't that simple… Ye, tell her, you don't belong to her.]
… … … … … …
… … … …
… …
The remaining scenes made Jane Foster want to cover her face. In the end, she and Daisy actually competed to see who Ye liked more, and they even did suggestive dances, forcibly seducing Zhou Ye… As a result, needless to ask, Jane had already seen Daisy lying on Zhou Ye's other side. It seems this competition… has no winner. No, no, perhaps the real winner is that guy Zhou Ye.
"Bastard… you benefited in the end…" The more Jane thought about it, the more depressed she became, and she couldn't help but gently pound Zhou Ye's chest… But her hand was grabbed by another person, not Zhou Ye, but Daisy, who was sleeping on the other side.
"Daisy? Why are you stopping me from teaching this bastard a lesson…" Jane asked somewhat dissatisfied. To be honest, she also had a grievance against Daisy. If it weren't for Daisy, she probably would have ultimately won this man's heart, instead of sharing him with Daisy.
"Silly girl, did you think I was stopping you from punishing this bad guy?" Daisy stretched lazily, the thin blanket on her body slipping down, revealing her pair of F-cup treasures… "I want to beat this bad guy up even more than you do…"
"Then why…" Jane asked somewhat puzzled.
"Do you want this guy to wake up and torment us again? I can't take it anymore anyway…" Daisy said helplessly, "Besides, you can't even hurt this guy…"
"You… you knew Ye before…?" Jane heard something from Daisy's words.
"Mmm…" Daisy didn't deny it. Anyway, Jane would find out sooner or later, and she was also very willing to give her man a little trouble. "I met this guy a week ago… At that time, I was planning a graduation trip on a whim to celebrate my admission to MIT…"
"And then?" Jane's curiosity temporarily outweighed her jealousy.
"Then, in the desert of Alaska, I accidentally hitched a ride with this guy…" Daisy sighed helplessly and said, "As a weirdo who has never had a love affair, I was quickly…"
"Wait… you said, you've never been in love before either?" A flash of inspiration struck Jane's mind, and she felt like she had grasped some key points.
"That's right…" Daisy nodded, looking like the past was unbearable, and said, "Although I think I look pretty good, and my figure isn't bad either… but since middle school, no boy has dared to pursue me… Those who pursued me all had bad luck… Before meeting this guy, I hadn't even held a boy's hand except for my dad…"
"Me too…" Jane felt that her experiences were so similar to Daisy's… The degree of similarity seemed a bit too high. As a girl determined to become an astrophysicist, she had to have a scientific spirit in everything she did. What is the scientific spirit? Doubting everything, boldly hypothesizing, and carefully verifying is the scientific spirit.
"Why is this guy okay?" The two women asked in unison.
The two women looked at each other, and then turned their gazes to Zhou Ye, who was still sleeping. "Interrogate this guy…"
"That's right." Daisy's playful interest also came, "You hold his left hand, I'll hold his right hand, let's interrogate this guy together."
"Why not tie him up?" Jane asked back.
"Are you willing?" Daisy glanced at her. "Anyway, I'm not willing."
"I…" Jane wanted to insist and say [What's there to be unwilling about?] But, imagining the scene of Zhou Ye being tied up, she felt really uncomfortable in her heart, so uncomfortable that she wanted to take his place. "Okay… I'm not willing either, damn it, damn it… This guy definitely put some kind of curse on me."
"That's right, it's a curse called love, we've all been cursed by him…" Daisy, as a girl who fell into Zhou Ye's clutches a little earlier than Jane, knew a little more than Jane. "This guy is like a drug to us… we can't quit him. I've struggled a few times before, but each time it only made me love this guy even more… We can't live without him anymore, otherwise why do you think I helped him get you drunk… I wish I could kick you out and enjoy him all to myself…"
"I…" Jane didn't know what to say, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Now that she knew the entanglement between Daisy and Zhou Ye, she really couldn't say that she came first. "Why are you so indulgent towards him?"
"Because of love." Daisy said as a matter of course, "I love Ye, so I don't want to see him unhappy. As long as he can be happy, I'm willing to do anything for him… including seducing you."
"…" Jane didn't quite agree. "Shouldn't love be selfish?"
"Do you think what I said is exaggerated?" Daisy smiled and said, "You're already in love with Ye, otherwise you wouldn't be so calmly chatting with me here… When you used to fantasize about your love, did you ever think that you would lie in a man's arms with another woman?"
"…" Jane had a feeling of, you're so right, I'm speechless. To be honest, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she had never thought of leaving Zhou Ye like this… Or rather, she had been deliberately avoiding this question. "Okay… I admit it, damn it, I'm in love with this guy."
"There's nothing to deny." Daisy advised, "Don't you think that if it's just one person, we'll die in the hands of this bad guy sooner or later? In the afternoon, you were messed up by Ye…"
"Okay… let's talk about interrogating this guy." Jane hurriedly interrupted Daisy, fearing that this guy would say all the nonsense she said during that time, that would be too… … … …
"What do you want to interrogate me about?" Zhou Ye had been listening with his eyes closed for a long time, and he wanted to give the assistant Daisy thirty-two thumbs up.
"Those boys who used to pursue us…" Jane, who was held in Zhou Ye's arms, asked cautiously, "Is it… … "
"Is it arranged by you?" Daisy didn't have so many scruples. Having been with Zhou Ye for more than a week, she knew her man's personality a little better than Jane. She knew that these little things wouldn't make her man angry.
"That's right, it was arranged by me…" Zhou Ye said matter-of-factly.
"Why?" Jane widened her eyes, looking incredulous.
"Because you are destined to be my women…" Zhou Ye said unceremoniously, "How could I let other men pursue my women?"
"…" Jane had an indescribable feeling in her heart. Was she angry? A little, but not much, more of a sweet feeling. He said she was his woman…
"Darling, you look so cute when you're jealous." Daisy, who was sinking deeper, performed even worse than Jane, and directly kissed Zhou Ye. Causing Jane to also rush up unwilling to be outdone…
I have to say, women in love all have negative IQs… They forgot to ask Zhou Ye how he knew their location, how he arranged for people to drive away those pursuers, and how he brought the two of them together…
Of course, if they didn't ask, Zhou Ye wouldn't say it either. Some things weren't that important, and, as time went on, they would slowly know more about him… A qualified playboy wouldn't reveal all his secrets at the beginning, a man with a bit of mystery is the most attractive man.
Chapter 656
Washington—in a secret base of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Director Carter, I am very dissatisfied with the slow response shown by your S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Wakanda Kingdom incident in Africa." A middle-aged woman sitting in the seat representing the British Empire said dissatisfied.
"Our country also expresses concern about this. Our government is curious as to why S.H.I.E.L.D. only learned about the destruction of the Wakanda Kingdom from several Wakanda refugees several months later…" A black-haired man also spoke.
"Our government feels that the so-called S.H.I.E.L.D. no longer needs to exist, because it cannot play any role at all." A middle-aged man with a distinct Slavic appearance questioned unceremoniously in Russian: "Such a large-scale military operation, S.H.I.E.L.D. did not receive any intelligence beforehand. It is time for us to consider reorganizing S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Our government feels shocked about the Wakanda Kingdom incident. We will continue to pay attention to the development of the situation." The French security representative said indifferently.
Ladies and gentlemen…" As the representative of the United States, Alexander Pierce said, "We all know this isn't S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fault. Their funding has been cut too much. They've even had to shut down thirteen secret bases and some regular intelligence channels… How can a S.H.I.E.L.D. weakened to the extreme bear the responsibility of global security?"
"Minister Pierce is right." Sharon Carter stood up and, facing the accusations from the Security Council member states, retorted without reservation. "Since I took over as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Security Council has been constantly cutting our budget on the grounds that the Hydra organization has been completely defeated and the world is very peaceful. Our S.H.I.E.L.D. budget has been cut from 12 billion per year to less than 5 billion per year now. We have been forced to shut down thirteen secret bases, six laboratories, and cut our intelligence budget in half… Our annual budget is even less than half of the CIA's. I'm curious to ask everyone, how can S.H.I.E.L.D. like this resist the resurgence of Hydra?"
Sharon Carter's words made several representatives of the Security Council look unhappy. Of course, even so, they had to admit that Sharon was indeed right… They were indeed systematically cutting S.H.I.E.L.D.'s budget.
Among the five member states of the Security Council, only the United States and the United Kingdom strongly advocated giving S.H.I.E.L.D. autonomy and sufficient funding. The United States supported it because S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters were in the United States and most of the agents were Americans, while the United Kingdom supported it because Sharon Carter was of British nationality…
France was completely muddling through, China was secretly tripping them up, and Russia was even more blatant, openly suppressing S.H.I.E.L.D.… But all of this was based on the foundation of world peace.
Now, the Hydra organization, which was a headache for all countries, has made a comeback again. This is not good news for any country, especially since Hydra's first battle of resurgence was against the Kingdom of Wakanda in Africa, which is known as the most technologically advanced in the world, giving them a sense of shared misfortune.
They couldn't help but ask themselves, if Hydra's chosen target this time wasn't Wakanda, but major international cities in other countries, could they defend against it? The answer was obvious… Faced with the attacks of the more secretive Hydra organization, they couldn't defend.
Pierce looked at the expressions of the representatives of various countries and slowly said, "In view of the resurgence of the Hydra organization, I think it is necessary to pass Emergency Plan No. 126…"
Emergency Plan No. 126 is a plan to increase the emergency budget for S.H.I.E.L.D. under the premise that the world security situation deteriorates rapidly. This plan clarifies the budget amount that each country will bear…
"Then…" Pierce looked around and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's start raising our hands to vote now."
Saying that, Pierce said to Sharon Carter behind him, "Sorry, Director Carter, according to the voting procedure, you need to leave the venue temporarily…"
"Of course." Sharon Carter nodded, turned around, and walked directly towards the door of the conference room…
Five minutes later—Sharon Carter walked into the venue again. She received the news that the emergency budget case had passed the vote. She was not surprised by this at all.
At this time, the Security Council's emergency meeting was over, and the three-dimensional projections of the representatives of other countries had disappeared.
"Congratulations, Director Carter." Pierce said to Sharon with a smile, "Now, S.H.I.E.L.D. will expand again."
"Hehe… Isn't this what we expected?" Sharon smiled and made a raising-arm gesture to Pierce, and the lip shape of [Hail Hydra] came out…
"We have never been enemies, have we?" Pierce was not surprised that Sharon knew his identity as a Hydra spy.
"That's right…" Sharon nodded with a smile. "Okay, we have to start getting busy… You have to know how to spend money even if you have it." Saying that, Sharon walked directly out of the conference room…
Pierce shook his head and smiled. He didn't have the slightest contempt for this seemingly young Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Who told her that there was a man standing behind her who was shrouded in shadows all over the world? He also had to report the news here to his leader… He would be busy again for the rest of the time.
After Sharon walked out of the conference room, she did not leave this floor, but turned around and walked into the room next to the conference room. "Honey, what do you think?"
"You performed very well… Sharon, baby." Zhou Ye sat on the sofa, and a girl in a black tight-fitting battle suit was squatting beside him. Zhou Ye's hand unconsciously stroked the girl's head lightly, and the expression on the girl's face was extremely awkward, on one hand, she looked disgusted, as if she didn't like Zhou Ye's caress very much. But on the other hand, she leaned her little head over, wanting Zhou Ye to touch her beautiful hair more… This was really an unparalleled entanglement.
In fact, Zhou Ye was driven out by Daisy and Jane… There was no way, the two alliances were still a little too thin when facing Zhou Ye, this guy… In Daisy's words, it was: "Honey, give us a holiday, you don't want us to be unable to graduate because of you, that would be too embarrassing."
And it just so happened that Sharon Carter contacted Zhou Ye and said she had something to look for him, so Zhou Ye turned back to Long Island and brought his pet Shuri, who he had left there, here.
"Honey…" Sharon leaned directly into Zhou Ye's arms and whispered coquettishly, "Now that the funding problem has been solved, I have to make some achievements… Why don't you talk to Sister Ophelia and get me a few peripheral bases…"
"You have to discuss this with yourself and her…" Zhou Ye smiled.
"Honey…" How could Sharon discuss it with Ophelia? If that were the case, she might have to agree to I don't know how many unequal treaties… However, Sharon was not unprepared. In order to convince her own man, she had prepared some unspeakable gifts. "Honey…"
As Sharon whispered in Zhou Ye's ear, Zhou Ye's eyes gradually began to shine brightly. "Cough cough… That's not good, is it."
"Just tell me if you want it or not…" Sharon bit her own man's earlobe lightly angrily. "If you don't want it, I'll give it away."
"Yes, why wouldn't I want it." Zhou Ye never thought that he was any kind of gentleman… It seems that there will be new games to play tonight.
Chapter 657
Melinda May carried her small suitcase and stood at the gate of this base with a sign that read [Military Restricted Area, No Trespassers], and frowned.
To be honest, she really didn't want to come, but as a Level 7 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., although May had retreated from the front line and became an administrative staff member, in the end, she was still under the jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D. An order for [Special Training] dragged her to the desert in Arizona.
Just as she was standing at the gate of this dilapidated military base, hesitating whether to go in, a black SUV with a S.H.I.E.L.D. license plate stopped beside her, dragging a long plume of dust. "Hi, May, did you also receive the training order?"
Melinda May looked at the delicate face revealed in the lowered car window and sighed, "Yeah, Maria, did you also receive the training camp order?"
"Yes, get in the car, I'll take you in." Maria Hill had met Melinda May many times at the SHIELD headquarters. They could be considered colleagues and friends.
"Okay..." Melinda May threw her luggage onto the back seat, then opened the car door and sat in. After getting into the car, Melinda realized that there was also a girl sitting next to Agent Hill, "Simmons? Aren't you from the science division? Why are you here for this training camp too?"
"I don't know either..." Jemma Simmons shrugged helplessly. "Who knows why I was transferred here to participate in the training camp. You know my research topic is at a crucial moment. I really don't know what those bureaucrats are thinking..."
"Maybe they're afraid you've been in the lab for too long, and the higher-ups want you to get some fresh air," Hill said with a smile.
"Perhaps..." Jemma sighed and said, "Compared to exercising, I'd rather stay in the lab all the time."
Amidst the three people's discussions, the car drove towards the depths of the abandoned military base... And they didn't notice that on a high platform watch post not far from the gate, two people were observing them...
"Darling... are they the three targets this time?" On the watch post, a blonde girl was leaning her whole body against a handsome blonde boy's chest, as if afraid of separation, and kept squeezing her body into the boy's arms, wishing she could completely merge with the boy... That boy was Zhou Ye.
"Yes, I think it's probably them." Zhou Ye put his head on the girl's shoulder, tightly wrapping his arms around the girl's slender waist. He loved this girl who had once won the high school gymnastics championship. "Bobbi, it's almost your turn to play."
"But I don't want to be separated from you... darling." Barbara Morse rubbed her little face against her man's cheek, and said as if in a dream, "Just thinking about being separated from you temporarily... I feel like my heart is going to break, darling."
"We are never separated... baby, I am always by your side." Zhou Ye knew that Barbara was just experiencing the taste of love for the first time, and clinginess was inevitable... But, there are still three delicious delicacies below, and he didn't want to give them up either. "Bobbi baby, don't you want those three to taste the suffering you've endured too?"
"You bad guy..." Speaking of the suffering she had endured, Barbara Morse's little face was flushed. She couldn't help but pinch Zhou Ye's waist fiercely. You know, she was forcibly taken by Zhou Ye. At the beginning, she suffered a lot, but later it was a feeling like flying... "If Director Carter hadn't called me in, leaving me with no defense... how could you have succeeded so easily?"
"That's right, who is my Bobbi baby? Who doesn't know the famous name of the Mockingbird?" Zhou Ye teased.
"No matter how powerful my Mockingbird is, wasn't I still shot down by you, you bad guy?" Barbara turned around and hugged her man tightly. Of course, she knew her man's abilities. Leaving aside everything else, just that superb teleportation was enough to make people impossible to defend against. Especially when this bad guy applied the teleportation to the extreme... For example, some unpredictable raids made her miserable, but her heart was as sweet as honey.
"I like the way you sing for me alone the most, it almost mesmerizes me..." Zhou Ye held up Barbara's little face with both hands and said softly, "I don't want to let you go down now... what should I do? Baby."
Zhou Ye's words made Barbara almost collapse in his arms. She knew her man's infatuation with her, which made her both happy and headache. She really couldn't bear it anymore... She forcibly broke free from her man's arms with her soft arms, and said somewhat flusteredly, "Oh, I'd better go and gather with them quickly... Darling, you can taste new delicacies later... Be patient."
With that said, Barbara didn't wait for Zhou Ye to speak, and directly slid down the watch post's emergency slide. Before her legs could stand firm, she took out an extremely cool road racing motorcycle from her bracelet and rode on it. Ignition and acceleration were done in one go... bringing up a burst of arrogant smoke and driving towards the interior of the military base...
Zhou Ye smiled and watched Barbara leave. To be honest, he really didn't expect Peggy to secretly hide so many delicacies for him. Each of them used her resources to control their emotional lives imperceptibly... Or rather, they were so busy that they had no time to fall in love.
So, when Zhou Ye ate Barbara, she was still a blank sheet of paper... Thinking about the clumsy but desperately trying to cater to him when that blonde girl was nasha, he felt very happy... "The game... is about to begin, girls, are you ready?"
This time, Zhou Ye paid a lot of price in order to eat these little girls, such as agreeing to Ophelia's conditions [the next child must be born by her] [in the future, under conditional circumstances, he must take her to travel through the world] and so on... Only then did he exchange for Ophelia's promise to give up several Hydra peripheral bases...
However, Zhou Ye didn't feel that he was being blackmailed by Ophelia. Strictly speaking, Zhou Ye felt that he owed it to her...
But no matter what, it's all the same, soon... it's about to enter the game stage. Zhou Ye looked up at the setting sun that was about to fall below the horizon, his heart was full of anticipation.
Chapter 658
"Oh my god... this place is terrible." Jemma Simmons got out of the car and looked at the dilapidated warehouse with a large [Assembly Point] sign hanging on it, complaining, "This place is full of dust, what are we going to train here? Train how to clean up old warehouses?"
"I think opening that thing should give us some new discoveries." Maria Hill deserves to be an excellent agent, she immediately noticed the simple combat command table placed in the middle of this old warehouse that was out of place with the environment. There was also a small communication system on that table...
"But, I'm afraid we still have a partner who hasn't arrived yet..." Melinda May, who also discovered the communication system on the table, had already walked quickly to the table. After checking the communication system slightly, she came to the above conclusion.
"Why?" Jemma Simmons is, after all, just a biologist from the science division. In terms of observing things, she can't keep up with Hill and May, these two agents.
Because there are four fingerprint systems on it, it means we have to wait until the fourth comrade appears before we can activate this communication device." It wasn't May who answered Gemma's question, but Hill.
"Okay, who knows when the fourth teammate will show up…" Gemma said with some frustration. She now missed her tidy laboratory and convenient computer network immensely… In this dilapidated old warehouse full of dust, she couldn't even find a place to sit.
"I think she should be here soon…!" As May spoke, the extremely arrogant engine sound of a road racing motorcycle entered the ears of the girls from far to near.
"Buzz—buzz—squeal—!" The women who walked to the warehouse door to greet the new teammate saw that the fiery red road racing motorcycle, with a handsome drift by the female rider, stopped directly next to the SUV parked by Hill at the door.
"Oh—cool!!" Although Gemma was a laboratory worker, she was very fond of this exciting sport of road racing…
"Hello, I'm Melinda May, this is Maria Hill, and the one who just cheered for you is Gemma Simmons." May took the lead and walked over to greet Barbara, who had just taken off her helmet. "We are all affiliated with the SHIELD headquarters, what about you?"
"I'm Barbara Morse, from the SHIELD West Coast base." Barbara Morse looked at the three girls in front of her. She had to admit that these three girls could be described as having their own unique charm. No wonder they could catch her man's eye.
"I've heard of you…" Maria Hill said, looking at the beautiful girl with long golden hair in front of her, "I've seen your name in the SHIELD database…"
"I've also heard of you, Agent Hill." Barbara said unceremoniously, "Said to be the most troublesome senior agent at headquarters. It is said that even our boss has a headache because of you…"
"There's no way around it, who told me to always ask why? I don't think any boss would like me." Agent Hill said nonchalantly.
"Alright, let's go inside and start the purpose of this training." Seeing that there seemed to be some tension between the two women, May hurriedly smoothed things over.
"Yes, yes, let's quickly complete the training goals, and then leave this damn place as soon as possible… I already miss the bathtub in my house a little…" Gemma Simmons also joined in to smooth things over.
"I don't care…" Barbara shrugged her shoulders. When she faced these women, she always had a natural sense of superiority, who told her that she knew their ultimate fate… Anyway, they couldn't escape her man's palm.
"I'm ready anytime…" Agent Hill looked at Barbara and nodded.
"Then let's go…" May said, taking the lead and walking towards the warehouse. Barbara and Gemma also followed, and Hill inadvertently walked at the end…
To be honest, Hill had a lot of doubts about the purpose of this training. In fact, she knew her own situation very well. She knew that her constant questioning of her superiors' practices made the current SHIELD Director Sharon Carter have a headache… But there was no way, she was always loyal to the US military… And the support from the US military made Carter helpless against her.
And this sudden training made Hill feel that she was going to be framed by her superiors… Until she met May and Gemma, her doubts were dispelled a little, but they still remained… But forget it, she can only take things as they come… Without real evidence, even if Carter wanted to deal with her, those military officials behind her would have no way to deal with Carter.
The four people walked to the middle of the dilapidated warehouse and placed their hands on the fingerprint verification modules on the communication equipment at the same time.
With a buzz, the communication equipment was powered on. Soon, Sharon Carter's voice came out. "I am Sharon Carter, it seems that you have arrived at the designated location… That's good."
"Director, I just want to know what the content of our training is." Agent Hill asked unceremoniously.
"Survive here for three days…" Sharon was already used to Hill's tone. She was not angry at all at her questioning. In Sharon's opinion, Hill could only be arrogant for a while… Hmph hmph, when her man takes action, she will beg herself for help crying. Hmph hmph hmph… Thinking of the proud place, Sharon's tone became more relaxed. "All your carry-on items and transportation will be confiscated. Of course, you will need to find the supplies yourself in this abandoned military base… Enough food, fresh water, medicine and weapons have been left here for you to survive for five days."
"Excuse me for speaking frankly… Director, such training is not necessary at all, after all, we…" Agent Hill's words were interrupted by Sharon before she could finish speaking.
"I know, you have all undergone the most rigorous agent training, and you have also completed many difficult tasks, so I have specially added some difficulty to this training…" The more Sharon said, the better her mood became. "I think you must have also discovered that there is a non-combatant among you…"
"Are you talking about me as the non-combatant? Director." Gemma asked curiously.
"That's right, I'm talking about you, Gemma Simmons." Sharon said unceremoniously, "Your task is not only to survive these three days, but also to protect the safety of non-combatants… Of course, I know this is also a very simple thing for you, so I have arranged a little surprise for you…"
"Can I ask… what kind of surprise is it? Director…" Melinda May felt that she seemed to be getting screwed over.
"Of course, May." Sharon's voice sounded even more pleasant. "Just an assassin who may attack you at any time in seventy-two hours."
"Can I know who it is? Director." Barbara Morse also began to cooperate with Sharon to act, "Is it Agent Natasha? Or the Second Generation Captain?"
"Neither…" Sharon said, "He is our SHIELD's external consultant, Agent Hill, you don't need to rack your brains there, I know your authority is very high, but this consultant's authority is level ten… You are not qualified to know his name and abilities. A friendly reminder to you, try not to separate… I will be watching your performance at headquarters. Everyone, please work hard, your performance will all be recorded in your files…"
Chapter 659
"Damn it… there must be cameras here." After the call ended, Hill couldn't help but look up at the surroundings. Soon, she found a dozen devices suspected of being cameras…
But Barbara ran quickly towards the outside of the warehouse, which made May nervous. She also ran out… The other two women had no choice but to follow…
"Oh my god… my baby…" Barbara looked at the empty space where her car had been parked, a look of tearful despair on her face. Her acting skills were definitely worthy of a Best Actress award.
"My laptop… my change of clothes… oh, no, am I going to have to spend three days without a change of underwear?" Jemma Simmons cried even harder than Barbara. Her luggage was all in Hill's car. Without the car… oh god.
"Instead of wailing here, we'd better hurry and collect some fresh water and food while it's still light." Although May's luggage was also gone, she had experienced worse things. This little matter wasn't worth her sadness.
"This abandoned military base is about five hundred acres in size, divided into living quarters, warehouse areas, a field airport, and training areas… We need to search such a large area for supplies and weapons. If we don't split up, I think we'll starve to death before we find anything…" Hill analyzed, "So, my suggestion is that we temporarily split up to search for supplies while the chance of being attacked during the day is small…"
"Um… I have a question… Who… who will protect me?" Jemma Simmons weakly raised her hand. "You know, I'm a non-combatant and need protection…"
"I'll go…" Barbara Morse said, "Simmons and I will search the living area together."
"Then I'll go to the training area…" Melinda May said.
"Then I'll go to the airport and have a look." Hill said, raising her arm and looking at the waterproof watch on her wrist, "It's 4:45 PM now. No matter what we find, we'll meet here in the warehouse area in half an hour, which is at 5:15 PM…"
"Okay!" May and Barbara checked their watches and nodded in agreement.
"Then let's move out." With Hill's order, the group began to split up…
At that moment, four thousand feet above them, Zhou Ye was standing with his arms crossed, looking down at them with interest. As far as Zhou Ye was concerned, he could hear and see everything they said and did if he wanted to.
"What a great opportunity…" Zhou Ye said to himself, stroking his smooth chin with his hand. "Should I take this opportunity to take care of May while they're separated? Or should I take care of Hill first? Or maybe Jemma, who's with Barbara? This is such a difficult choice…"
"Okay, I've decided it's you… Melinda May, who knew we were so fated?" Zhou Ye smiled, his figure flashed, and he disappeared into the air.
Melinda May walked through the recreation area, carefully searching the training equipment with her eyes… She knew that sometimes searching the rooms for supplies wasn't as fruitful as searching these outdoor areas. After all, those who stored the supplies were likely her colleagues. They knew what was called hiding in plain sight and were used to hiding things right under your nose, yet you could never find them…
As Melinda May carefully advanced, she suddenly felt a chill, like a frog being targeted by its natural enemy. This feeling had saved her life countless times. She shouted, "Who is it…?" and suddenly turned around.
"… … Big… Big Brother…" The figure in front of her made Melinda May widen her eyes. She really couldn't believe that this figure, who had appeared countless times in her dreams, would appear in front of her again… But she quickly regained her senses, and then, her anger erupted like a volcano. "No matter… no matter who you are… you have tainted the most beautiful memories in my heart. I… I will kill you, I will definitely kill you…"
With Melinda May's gritted-teeth ultimatum, she rushed forward like a female leopard, her fists directly and unceremoniously smashing towards Zhou Ye's temples. With her defenses wide open, she charged towards Zhou Ye with the determination to die together with the enemy.
"Little sister, your English is very good." Zhou Ye ignored Melinda May's fists, which were about to hit his temples, and instead said something very inappropriate in Chinese.
However, it was this sentence that stopped May, who was acting like a demon. "You… you really… really are Big Brother?"
"Come, let me give you a hug and see how much heavier you are than before?" Zhou Ye smiled and opened his arms…
"Big Brother… um… um…" Melinda May couldn't hold back anymore.
Her eyes filled with tears, and she desperately rushed into Zhou Ye's arms…
That year… Melinda May was just seven years old. Her brother was her only relative, and her brother was also an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. She had grown up in the S.H.I.E.L.D. base since she was a child. Although S.H.I.E.L.D. had arranged guardians for her, May, who had been naughty since childhood, never obeyed the supervision of her guardians.
One day, she ran to the base's bar to play, and she often did such bold things that could gain the envy of her little friends, jumping back and forth on the bar. But… that day, she missed, and accidentally fell off the bar. She originally thought that this time she was probably going to be in trouble. Even if the injury wasn't serious, she would be nagged by her guardian for a long time, but what she didn't expect was that she fell into a warm embrace.
"thank you…" May praised the handsome big brother who caught her in her heart, while thanking him in her broken English, but she didn't expect to hear a clear and round Chinese answer. "Your English is not bad, little sister."
That was her first meeting with him—in the S.H.I.E.L.D. base.
From then on, Zhou Ye rarely stayed in this base for a while… He took May everywhere to play, everywhere to have fun… To May, Zhou Ye was her big brother, a big brother with whom she could share any secret. A little loli, in a place where the language environment was completely unfamiliar, met a handsome young man who treated her in every possible way and could talk to her in her native language… Some seeds were unknowingly deeply buried in her heart.
Chapter 660
"Little sister has become a big girl…" Zhou Ye gently stroked Melinda May's smooth long hair and sighed with a smile.
Big brother… you haven't changed at all." Hearing Zhou Ye's words, Melinda May couldn't help but lift her little head from Zhou Ye's embrace. She looked at the handsome face that had never been touched by time, and her hand couldn't help but gently stroke it. "Now I look older than you, shouldn't you call me big sister?"
"Pa—"! Zhou Ye slapped Melinda May's Climbing Pig without any politeness. "You will always be my little sister…"
"Hehe…" Melinda May didn't care. When the two were together before, she had said innocently that when she grew up, she would make Zhou Ye call her big sister… Now, to some extent, she has indeed done it.
"Where have you been all these years…" Melinda May once again pressed her little head against Zhou Ye's chest, murmuring: "The letters I sent you were all returned… I tried desperately to find news of you, but… I couldn't find it… I went to ask Aunt Peggy, and she told me that if I wanted to know your news, I should work hard to train and become the most powerful agent… I did it, but Aunt Peggy has retired… Wuwuwu…"
"Uh—a lot of things happened in between." Only at this time did Zhou Ye suddenly remember that he seemed to have withdrawn all the maids to the world of death in order to let them take care of Hela, who was pregnant… And naturally, no one took care of those industries on Earth, and many of them were sold… Naturally, this included the address left to May.
"Then… now, do you still mean what you said?" Melinda May timidly raised her head, her face no longer showing the expression of a capable female agent, but a look mixed with apprehension… and expectation.
"What words?" Zhou Ye knew very well what Melinda May was talking about, but he just wanted to bully this girl.
"You…" Hearing Zhou Ye's words, Melinda May's eyes were already filled with tears…
"Silly girl… Of course I remember." Zhou Ye lowered his head, gently kissed away the tears on May's face, and said softly: "You are already my lovely little bride…"
"Bastard… bastard…" Melinda May desperately hammered Zhou Ye's chest. She didn't even know how many times that belief had pulled her back from the brink of life and death… If it weren't for this obsession in her heart, her body would have been cold for who knows how long.
"Mmm…" Zhou Ye lowered his head and blocked all of Melinda May's grievances in her mouth. Gradually, May also began to clumsily respond to Zhou Ye…
With a soft sound of glass breaking… Zhou Ye once again opened the Mirror Dimension.
Speaking of which, Zhou Ye felt that he had opened the Mirror Dimension many times, but it seemed that most of the time it was for doing bad things. Shouldn't this Mirror Dimension be renamed ooxx Dimension to be more appropriate?
While Zhou Ye was complaining to himself, he unceremoniously instantly turned May into a white sheep…
"There's still time to regret it…" It was rare for Zhou Ye to have a moment of kindness, but his kindness was wasted.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time…" Melinda May said, taking the initiative to meet the enemy. "Ah—!!"
Another beautiful agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. was ruined in Zhou Ye's hands… Congratulations, congratulations.
One hour later—with a scream, the entire Mirror Dimension returned to its former tranquility.
Under Zhou Ye's deliberate control, the entire Mirror Dimension had lost the concept of time. After who knows how long, Melinda May finally opened her eyes again.
"How long have I been unconscious…" She hugged Zhou Ye tightly like an octopus, and asked in a low voice.
"Time has no meaning to me, baby." Zhou Ye gently patted May's pink back and said softly: "Don't worry about time. If you want, even if we stay in this world for a year, only a second will have passed when we go out."
"No wonder your face has never changed, dear. I even thought I had encountered the extra-departmental consultant that Director Carter mentioned…" May believed Zhou Ye's words, "I even thought that consultant had hypnotic abilities and had hypnotized me… Seriously, it almost pissed me off."
"Cough cough…" Hearing May's words, Zhou Ye couldn't help but cough dryly. "Actually, I really am that so-called extra-departmental consultant…"
"Hmm?" May was startled at first, supporting her body with her arms, and then slumped back into her man's arms. "Forget it, since you are the extra-departmental consultant, I don't care… Anyway, I have already gotten what I wanted most. I don't care about the assessment results anymore… Even if I am the first one kicked out by you, dear, I don't care, who told me that I can't move now…"
These words really left Zhou Ye speechless… May was complaining that he didn't consider it was her first time and conquered her too much just now… "Actually, the purpose of this training is…"
After Melinda May quietly listened to the purpose of the training that Zhou Ye said, she looked at Zhou Ye expressionlessly, almost making Zhou Ye doubt his life.
"I will definitely, definitely not help you so easily… If you want me to help you open a harem, come on, conquer me completely first…" Melinda May said, disregarding her unhealed injuries, took the initiative to turn over and mount, becoming a brave female knight, she swore to tame Zhou Ye, this guy…
However, what does the saying go? The gap between ideal and reality is always so large that it makes people despair—
Melinda May quickly realized the true meaning of this sentence… She originally thought that with her years of training and physical fitness,
Not to mention completely exhausting Zhou Ye, she could also squeeze him dry… However, reality slapped her hard in the face. Zhou Ye, this guy… let her know that she really wasn't a match for this monster…
One day later—
"Okay, dear, I know… I will help you, just let me go." Melinda May no longer hoped that she could stop Zhou Ye's thoughts, she just wanted to have a good rest.
"Where has your female knight style gone, May? E baby…" Zhou Ye smiled, and once again cut Melinda May off her horse… But he didn't go too far, after all, this was his girl, he couldn't be unrestrained.
Even though Zhou Ye had already shown mercy, Melinda May felt that she was completely unable to move. It wasn't until she had rested for another day that she regained her vitality…
Chapter Six Hundred and Sixty-One
Just as Melinda May finally succumbed to Zhou Ye, the great demon king's, carrot and stick approach, and agreed to help him achieve his triple kill, on the other side—Maria Hill, completely unaware of this, was still searching for supplies in the abandoned base's airfield.
"These guys hiding supplies are really too cunning." Agent Hill muttered to herself as she carefully climbed a signal tower, a good dozen meters high, next to the airfield's control tower.
At the tip of that tall signal tower, hung a pure white plastic bag. If you didn't look closely, you might have thought it was just a piece of white pollution blown over by the desert wind, accidentally snagged up there.
In fact, she had seen this plastic bag hanging on the signal tower the moment she entered the airfield, but she didn't pay attention to it at the time. After all, in this modern society, white pollution is everywhere. A plastic bag blown into the desert by the monsoon winds, while not common, isn't exactly rare either.
It was only after Agent Hill searched the airfield for a long time without finding anything that she had to turn her attention back to it. After observing from below for a while, Hill was certain that it was a plastic bag full of things, and not just a white garbage bag.
"Huff… huff…" It took Agent Hill five minutes to climb to the top of the signal tower with her bare hands. With one hand, she firmly secured her body to the iron frame, and with the other, she laboriously pulled down the plastic bag full of supplies… "Looks like this haul should be pretty good."
As she spoke, Hill quickly climbed down the signal tower with the heavy bag of supplies. It took her five minutes to climb up, but less than three minutes to climb down.
Reaching the bottom of the tower, Agent Hill immediately opened the very tightly sealed supply bag… Neatly arranged inside were four palm-sized compressed biscuits and four one-liter bottles of purified water. But what surprised Agent Hill the most was that at the bottom of the plastic bag was a military-issue M1911 [Desert Warrior] pistol and three magazines.
You should know that when Agent Hill was notified to participate in this training exercise, she was required to temporarily hand in her sidearm, so she didn't bring any weapons with her… This was very uncomfortable for Hill, who was constantly in a state of high alert. But now, having regained her weapon, Agent Hill felt that her somewhat uneasy mood had calmed down a lot.
Quickly placing the magazines and pistol in her most familiar positions on her body, Hill opened a bottle of water, took a sip, and felt much better in her dry mouth from the exercise. After all, this was the desert, and the dry monsoon winds, the scorching sun in the sky, and excessive exercise would all accelerate the loss of water in the body…
Feeling better, Hill carefully tightened the cap on the bottled water, picked up the supply bag, and looked at the watch on her wrist. It was almost five minutes past five… It was time to go back and meet up with the others.
This base was surprisingly large. Agent Hill walked back to the warehouse area with the supply bag… The other three girls had already returned early. They had already lit a bonfire, and a mess kit was hanging over it… It seemed like they were cooking something inside.
"How were your hauls?" Hill walked into the warehouse with her loot, greeting the girls.
To be honest, she felt that the others seemed a little off. Jemma was tightly nestled in Barbara's arms, and Melinda May's appearance seemed to have changed a bit. Her already exquisite features had gained a bit of softness and beauty. "Hey, May, you look like you're in a good mood."
"Of course…" Melinda May had been prepared for this, or rather, Zhou Ye had prepared it for her. She patted the bag next to her and took out several square boxes in vacuum packaging. "Being able to have dessert in the desert makes me feel very happy."
"Tiramisu? And chocolate flavored?" Hill looked at the desserts in the transparent packaging and said speechlessly, "Are you sure this stuff is still edible? Even if it was the supplies dropped off yesterday, the chocolate inside has probably already melted from the high temperature after a day and a night in the desert, right?"
"Even if it's melted, it's still better than compressed biscuits." Melinda May replied nonchalantly, "And we can also use the melted chocolate to make a sweet hot cocoa… That's a rare treat in the wild…"
"Okay, you're right…" Hill had to admit that May was right… Compressed biscuits may be filling, but the taste really wasn't that great…
"What about you guys? Did you find anything?" Hill turned her gaze to Jemma Simmons and Barbara Morse again, but Jemma didn't seem to be in very good condition right now. She had been huddled in Barbara's arms, seemingly frightened by something.
"We didn't find anything…" Barbara replied, "When we were searching the living area, Jemma was attacked…"
Hearing Barbara's words, Hill immediately became a little nervous. "Who attacked you? Did you get a good look at their face?"
"I'm afraid… only Jemma can answer that question." Barbara said helplessly, "I was searching in another barracks at the time… I rushed over when I heard Jemma scream, but Jemma was already so scared that she couldn't say anything."
"Here, have some hot cocoa, Jemma." At this time, Melinda May had carefully scraped the chocolate off the top of the tiramisu with a military knife and put it into the already boiling water. The aroma of chocolate made everyone feel that the hunger in their stomachs was about to overflow…
"Th… thank you." It seemed that the warmth of the bonfire had gradually driven away the fear in Jemma's heart, or perhaps it was because everyone was now gathered together, giving her a lot of courage. She was temporarily able to leave Barbara's embrace. "Thank you, Barbara, I'm much better now."
"You're welcome, you're a non-combatant…" Barbara replied with a smile.
Jemma took the paper cup filled with hot cocoa from Melinda May's hand, took a light sip, and her mood calmed down a lot. Holding the paper cup, Jemma looked at the three girls who were staring at her, wanting to know what she had encountered, took a deep breath, and said, "After Barbara and I walked together to the living area…"
As she narrated, with Barbara Morse occasionally adding details, Agent Hill finally understood what Gemma had experienced in the living quarters…
Chapter 662
Barbara and Gemma left the others and headed towards the living quarters…
This military base was extremely large, and it had been abandoned for quite some time… To be honest, Gemma was genuinely terrified. After all, she was just a member of the science division, not a top-notch agent who constantly faced life and death. She really didn't have that much courage.
So, along the way, she closely followed behind Barbara, cautiously observing the surrounding environment.
"Gemma, you don't need to be so nervous… It's just a training exercise," Barbara said, walking towards the living quarters while reassuring the paranoid Gemma. "Your role is just to be a protected hostage. There won't be any danger, and I'll protect you."
"But… I'm still a little scared," Gemma said timidly.
The empty base—the strange sounds of the wind in the desert blowing through certain holes from time to time—all of this was challenging Gemma's nerves. To be honest, although Gemma was a scientist, she had a weakness that she found difficult to talk about. She had never told anyone about this weakness, and that was—she was afraid of ghosts.
In fact, even her parents didn't know about this weakness… In her parents' eyes, their daughter wasn't afraid of anything, and she was even surprisingly brave… Sometimes, she would often watch horror movies alone at home.
Actually, they didn't know that this was an effort Gemma was making to overcome her weakness. But it was all in vain. She was still afraid of ghosts… Although she had come to like watching horror movies because of this, it was like some women who liked to watch horror movies but ended up becoming more and more afraid, a strange psychology of watching more and more as they got more and more scared. She was the same.
Fortunately, the sun hadn't set yet. Although the dilapidated base was very much in line with the haunted scenes in some horror movies, Gemma was still able to temporarily overcome her fear…
Soon, Barbara and Gemma arrived at the living quarters… They searched through the rows of dilapidated barracks for any remaining supplies. It had to be said that Barbara's luck was quite good. After searching only four barracks, they found four bottles of water and two cans of food. However, in the fifth barrack, the two encountered a little trouble… A sand rat, extremely hungry, had come out to look for food.
Of course, the sand rat wasn't a problem for Barbara. In fact, Barbara even thought this little thing was very cute. But for Gemma, who had tightened her nerves, it was a bit too stimulating… At the time, she screamed repeatedly and jumped around…
In order to take care of Gemma's emotions, Barbara had no choice but to lead Gemma out of the barracks… Although Gemma temporarily calmed down under Barbara's comfort, she refused to go into the dark barracks again.
In the end, Barbara had no choice but to let Gemma stand alone in the open space outside the barracks, holding the supplies she had already obtained, waiting for her… And she began searching the barracks again.
"I… I'm not afraid… I'm not afraid of anything…" Gemma stood alone in the open space outside the barracks, holding the bag full of supplies in her hand, constantly encouraging herself with self-talk… It had to be said that this method was somewhat effective.
However, just when she was gradually feeling less afraid… Suddenly, she felt her shapely buttocks being touched. "Who is it…!!!"
Being suddenly attacked, Gemma jumped up like a frightened rabbit, quickly turning around to look behind her. She was very sure that it was a person's hand. She could even feel the temperature of the palm through the thin skirt.
No one… The empty space was deserted, without a single person, and there wasn't even a trace of other sounds… But Gemma felt certain that someone had touched her… This strange thing made Gemma's heart rise high again. "Barbara… is that you? Don't scare me… Come out quickly, or I'll really get angry…"
However, the voice that answered her came from the barracks… "Gemma, what are you saying?"
"Barbara… you… where are you?"
"I'm in the barracks. Wait a moment, I'll finish searching here soon…"
Barbara's words made Gemma even more terrified. According to the position she was standing in just now, Barbara was definitely in the barrack in front of her, not behind her. Then who was the person who touched her just now? Could it be May? Or Hill?
"May? Hill?" Gemma cautiously called out May and Hill's names, wanting to confirm whether it was her companions playing a prank on her…
However, she didn't get any response… Just when Gemma suspiciously thought that it was just her illusion, she felt her butt being slapped hard again. This slap even made a sound.
"Who is it…" Gemma quickly turned around, but she still didn't find anything… In front of her, besides the endless desert, there was only the dilapidated camp… Gemma's heart was about to go numb. Could there really be a ghost here?
Gemma silently prayed for God's blessing, and then suddenly turned around… The strange scene in front of her made her unable to hold on any longer, and she screamed. [Ah — — — — — —!!!]
She saw an arm appearing out of thin air in front of her. Behind the arm, there was only a circle of golden frame—no arm, no body, no head… Only an arm… This made Gemma unable to restrain herself any longer. She screamed, threw away the supplies in her hand, and fled in panic… If Barbara hadn't chased after her and stopped her, who knows where she would have run to…
— — — — — — — — I am Gemma Simmons, the dividing line for storytelling — — — — — — — — — — — —
After listening to Gemma's account, the three women lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.
In fact, although it was said to be deep thought, the three women had different thoughts… Melinda May was strongly Resist the urge to laugh, and had to Strained face to make a thoughtful expression.
In fact, when Zhou Ye was teasing Gemma with the Any Door ability, she was right next to Zhou Ye, and even the second slap Gemma received was from her... But she would definitely not say it at this time, after all, the price of disobeying her own man was too high.
As for Barbara, who knew her own man best, she was secretly complaining about her own man for actually teasing Gemma like that, but she wouldn't say it either, because she didn't want to be punished by her own man. Besides, she herself was entering this training camp as an internal agent.
The only one who was seriously thinking was Maria Hill.
"First of all, we can be sure that thing is definitely not a ghost." Agent Hill pondered for a while before speaking. "At most, he's just a pervert..."
To this, Barbara and Melinda nodded in agreement. Their own man was indeed very perverted...
"Secondly, this person probably doesn't have any malicious intent towards Gemma, otherwise he would have stabbed her with a knife instead of patting her butt." Hill continued to analyze: "This person is probably the 'surprise' that Director Carter mentioned..."
Saying that, she glanced around at the women and said with a serious expression: "This matter may seem like just a small prank, but it may also be a warning to us. If he really is an assassin, and Gemma really is the target we're protecting... I'm afraid we would have already failed the mission."
"Then... what should I do?" Gemma's fear gradually dissipated in Hill's analysis. After all, she was afraid of intangible ghosts, not people...
"We need to take the initiative..." Hill said: "Since this external consultant has such a lecherous habit, if we don't take the initiative and keep passively defending, sooner or later we'll be dragged to death by him..."
Chapter 663
The setting sun gradually fell below the horizon, and the sky full of stars shone with their own light in the cloudless desert sky. The long Milky Way crossed the sky, giving people a sense of beauty as if they were in a dream.
However, this beautiful night sky, which seemed like a fairyland to others, did not give Gemma any mood for appreciation at this moment.
She looked timidly at Barbara, Melinda, and Hill, and asked unwillingly: "Do we really have to do this??"
"That's right—we have to do this." Agent Hill said without hesitation. However, then she seemed to feel that her tone was not very considerate of Gemma's emotions, so she softened her tone slightly and said: "Don't worry, as long as you shout, we'll rush in immediately... And, aren't you wearing underwear? What are you afraid of?"
"...But..." Gemma looked at the simple washroom made of old tents and scrap metal in the open space not far from her, and said hesitantly: "At least move the shower room into the warehouse, right? Why does it have to be in the wild?"
"First, this is close to the water pump, so we can save some effort." Melinda May said, patting the rusty pumping equipment next to her. This was their discovery in the afternoon. In addition to this, there was also a small bucket of diesel, which would ensure that they could repair the water pump a little, at least enough to make it work and continuously draw out the groundwater.
"Second, the warehouse is our living area, and I don't want to make it damp..." This time it was Maria Hill who spoke.
"Third, don't you think it would be nice to take a hot bath after a day of exhaustion? Especially bathing under such a beautiful starry sky, it's even more special." Barbara Morse joked with a smile.
"But... why am I the first?" Gemma admitted that they were right, but that didn't mean she would be willing to enter that open-air simple washroom to take a bath. "Didn't we agree on the decoy plan? Why am I the decoy?"
"Forget it, I'll do it." Agent Hill considered for a moment and said: "After all, Gemma doesn't have any ability to resist."
"I don't care." Barbara shrugged and said.
"I have no problem either, we're going to wash sooner or later anyway." May also said that it didn't matter who went first.
"That's great." Gemma said happily, "Then Hill, you go wash first, remember to rinse with cold water before entering the bathtub, after all, we still have to wash later, it's not easy to boil water here..."
"..." Agent Hill shrugged silently and walked into the simple bathhouse. Inside was a large, somewhat dilapidated gasoline barrel filled with steaming hot water...
To be honest, after being blown by the wind and rain in the desert for half a day, Hill really had an urge to jump in and soak immediately. However, she finally resisted the temptation of the hot water... Using the starry sky, she slowly took off her clothes and draped them on an old rope...
Agent Hill, wearing underwear, gently scooped some hot water with an old marching lunch box and poured it on her body... To be honest, after a day of hard work, the feeling of her tired body suddenly being stroked by hot water was indescribable...
After simply wiping her body a few times, Agent Hill couldn't wait to jump into the gasoline barrel. The feeling of being surrounded by hot water made Hill feel so comfortable that she wanted to groan...
But even so, Agent Hill's right hand was still tightly holding her weapon, a Desert Warrior military pistol... She hadn't relaxed her vigilance at all... For her, completing the mission was the primary goal.
But how should I put it? A comfortable environment has always been the enemy of vigilance. Her tired body, which had been working for a day, was immersed in the warm hot water, and gradually, Hill also relaxed... She gently took off her underwear, intending to wash it a little. After all, after a whole day in the desert, sweat and everything had already soaked her clothes. The outer clothes were barely bearable, but the underwear... was a bit...
