Chila!!
Jack drove, leading eight explosion-proof vehicles full of action agents without slowing down, drifted around the corner and stopped in front of the Stark Industries Building.
"Mr. Stark!"
"drive!"
Jack was just about to get out of the car, and Tony Stark had no time to worry about his own cleanliness at this moment. He simply opened the passenger door and sat in.
A coordinate point in New Jersey was revealed.
Tiffany, who was at the National Operations Center, also said to Jack, "Fort Drum Army Base has already sent personnel there first. Capture that damn hacker as soon as possible, dead or alive!"
Jack nodded and spoke to the action agent following behind him through the headset.
Next second.
The car started instantly!!
New Jersey.
After driving into a small road, a roadside sign appeared not far away.
This is a military stronghold and no trespassing is allowed.
Jack frowned and looked at Tony Stark in the passenger seat.
Tony said, "I cornered this damn hacker, and the final location is here."
at the same time.
Tiffany, who is at the New York National Operations Center, has also found information about this military base in New Jersey.
"The Kwalo Military Base was established during World War II. It served as a training base for new recruits. Captain America, Steve Rogers, was even trained there. After the war, the Kwalo Military Base gradually shifted its military research efforts... However, in the late 1980s, after the expansion of the Quantico base was completed, it was abandoned."
The large iron gate of the base.
Five Mustangs and two combat helicopters were parked there. Not far away, an army captain came over and shook hands with Jack who got out of the car.
The big iron gate was instantly opened by several soldiers working together.
The Homeland Security Agents were in front, and the military was behind. Following Tony Stark's instructions, they rushed through the military base that was already overgrown with flying grass. It didn't take long before they arrived in front of an ammunition depot.
Everyone got off the bus.
Tony Stark looked at the abandoned ammunition depot in front of him, which was also covered with vines, and said, "Right here. That guy's final location is right here."
Tiffany's voice came from the headset: "It is forbidden to store ammunition within 500 yards of the barracks. This ammunition depot is suspicious. Be careful."
Jack and the Army Captain exchanged a glance.
Five minutes later!
"boom!"
"DHS!"
"ARMY!"
The moment they broke the door, the Homeland Security Agents and the men from the Army Criminal Investigation Division split into formations and stormed into the abandoned ammunition depot.
but...
It was completely different from the ammunition depot they had imagined. It wasn't that it was empty, but rather that it was more like an office than an ammunition depot.
A large space with a desk and filing cabinets...
"Safety!"
"Safety!"
"Safety!"
The homeland agents and military soldiers who filed in quickly occupied the entire office, and after confirming that there was no trace of the enemy, they reported loudly.
bite!
The white light above my head lit up, instantly illuminating the entire space.
There is an iconic icon on the wall that catches the eye.
"Jarvis."
Tony activated his wearable glasses and looked at the icon on the wall: "Search database, query."
Jarvis reported: "Sir, there is no record of this icon in the federal database."
Tiffany, who was at the National Operations Center, was also watching the transmitted icon image. She folded her arms and looked at the National Operations Center agent: "Contact the major federal law enforcement agencies and send this icon over. Quick!"
David, the deputy director sitting on the sofa, said in a deep voice, "No need."
Tiffany frowned and turned to look at David, "Sir?"
David looked at Tiffany: "I know who this belongs to."
Ten minutes later.
A lady who looked very capable appeared on David's laptop screen.
The woman looked at David, who was connected to her, and said, "David."
David nodded and looked directly at the woman who had successfully connected: "Commander Hand, do you recognize this icon?"
Victoria Hand.
Commander of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York Operations Center.
Ms. Hand looked at the transmitted image, then looked at David: "Where did you see it?"
David said directly, "Ten hours ago, Director Lake Edwin of the New York State Department of Homeland Security was attacked in the small town of Vega, Texas. Did you know about this?"
Ms. Hand nodded. "I know."
However, even if they knew, S.H.I.E.L.D. had no intention of intervening. The reason was that the person who was ambushed was Lake Edwin, who had caused their Director Nick Fury several ups and downs. Moreover, he was the real murderer who killed Victoria Hand's sister Maureen Hand.
Ms. Hand looked at David's expression and seemed to know what he wanted to ask: "We have no intention or action against your Director Lake Edwin. You can rest assured about this."
"Yeah?"
David said, "So what's going on?"
Ms. Hand said, "You should have found the military base in New Jersey. We were born in that military base in the early days of our establishment, but we have abandoned it for a long time."
"Really? Then can you explain why, when we tracked the hacker's signal, we ended up tracking it there?"
"…That's impossible."
"That's the truth."
"…"
At a military base in New Jersey.
"Sir!"
Several soldiers who were heading to a room for inspection said, "This way!"
Jack and the army captain walked over.
This appears to be a document storage room.
A soldier looked at the framed photos on the wall and looked at Jack and the army captain who came in from outside.
Tony Stark also looked over.
Next second.
Tony Stark was confused.
On that wall, there are several photos, all of them from when they were young. One is of Ms. Peggy Carter, and one is...
"gentlemen."
Jarvis, who was remotely connected and transmitting the situation to the National Operations Center, quickly searched the federal database after seeing the photo and said, "On the wall..."
Tony interrupted directly: "I know who he is."
Howard Stark!
A photo of Huo's father when he was young.
And, what can I say, Ms. Peggy Carter?
Godmother!
Um.
Ms. Peggy Carter is Tony's godmother. This is how Maria Stark introduced her to Tony when he was a child. Tony's baptism was also completed with the help of this godmother, Ms. Peggy Carter.
But...
How did his father's photo and godmother's photo appear here?
Tony stared expressionlessly at the photo of Mr. Huo on the wall, trying hard to recall his memory database and the confidential assets of the Stark family and Stark Industries, but he couldn't find any information about this place.
But Tony suddenly had a feeling that the reason why Howard Stark and Maria Stark were assassinated and covered up by a car accident seemed to be inextricably linked to this.
"Mr. Stark?"
"Stark!"
Tony came back to his senses and looked at Jack who was calling him.
Jack said, "Mr. Stark, there is no one here and no computer."
Tony Stark calmed himself down and clicked his glasses. Soon, a signal that almost overlapped with his appeared on the lens: "The source of the signal should be here."
Jack looked around. The room was filled with desks and filing cabinets, not to mention people, there wasn't even a computer.
Here?
Where?
Tony looked down at his feet.
Jack frowned: "Underground?"
Tony Stark withdrew his gaze from the photo of his father Howard Stark, then looked around. After a while, he stood in front of an empty cabinet, looked up and down, then pointed to the gap between the two filing cabinets and looked at Jack who had just spoken.
Jack then looked at the two Homeland agents.
The two homeland agents understood, put away the accessories, and walked to the filing cabinet. One pulled the left and the other pulled the right. As a result, the left one did not move at all, but the right one moved.
A passage then appeared in front of Tony Stark and others.
At the end of the passage is... an elevator?
The kind with a password.
Click!
Tony Stark pointed to an iron plate under the elevator password keypad and looked at Jack. Jack fired a shot directly, detonating the iron plate. Then Tony Stark took off his glasses, pulled out two wires from them, and connected them directly to the glasses in an unscientific way.
Next second.
Boom!
The elevator door, which had been covered in dust for who knows how many years, was opened directly.
Jack and the army captain were stunned by the sight.
Tony put his glasses back on with an expressionless face, looked at the two of them, and said, "It's just a little gadget, nothing special."
Finished.
Tony was brainstorming again, wondering why the photos of his father Howard Stark and godmother Peggy Carter appeared here, and what the hell was going on here.
Buzz!
Several homeland agents and army soldiers stood in the elevator and made an OK gesture to Jack and the army captain outside the elevator. Then, the elevator door closed and instantly took several people to the secret base built underground.
Ten minutes later.
The Homeland Agent, who seemed to have already walked out of the elevator, replied: "Captain, safe."
Five minutes later.
Jack, the army captain, and Tony walked out of the elevator. Looking at the silver-white building, it seemed as if they had traveled back to an era before the computer revolution, when the bigger the computer, the better it was.
Not far away.
A large computer console sits quietly there.
The computer screen, which was large but had a poor display, was turned on.
In front of the computer.
A bleeding body lay on the floor, with a pistol in his right hand.
The homeland agent said: "When the elevator just arrived, I heard a gunshot. When the elevator door opened, I saw this scene."
Several other agents and military soldiers nodded, confirming the truth.
As for why not rescue?
Why do we need to rescue?
…
