What's the situation at the scene?"
"Three agents were seriously injured and died. Five soldiers from the military were hit and needed medical treatment. Jack was slightly injured. Tony Stark was well protected by Jack and was not hurt at all."
"Immediately, have our people go to the homes of those three agents and provide them with the highest standard of compensation. Afterwards, increase the bill tenfold and send it to that SHIELD."
"clear."
Fort Bliss Biggs Army Base!
Lake looked at the dawn sky, his eyes flickering slightly after hanging up the phone.
The call just now was from his assistant Tiffany, who reported to him the underground explosion that had occurred at the New Jersey military base not long ago and the discoveries made by Tony Stark, Jack and others.
Hydra...
Is this really an internal conflict?
Is this true or false?
It can't be another trick.
When facing a powerful enemy, any normal person would know what unity means and point their guns outwards. But how could it be that at this moment, when the enemy is about to invade, the internal forces are calculating?
This is Hydra.
Oh, that's... bullshit.
etc.
Lake touched his chin, recalling the call he received from Lister one night before. It was obvious from that call that Daniel Whitehall had been sold out completely.
That's not right.
Isn't Dr. Zora on Daniel Whitehall's side? How come he suddenly, seemingly, defected to Alexander Pierce's side and is setting a trap for Daniel Whitehall?
It's not considered digging a hole.
This should be considered as Alexander Pierce's intention to push Daniel Whitehall out to take the blame.
but...
Alexander Pierce is indeed a ruthless man, flexible and adaptable, and a heroic character.
No wonder, he was able to develop Hydra's business so successfully when Peggy Carter was still in office, and even made Ms. Peggy Carter look at him differently and hand over the baton of S.H.I.E.L.D. to him.
Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately made the decision to abandon Daniel Whitehall. After all, if Daniel Whitehall's attack was successful, it would be fine, but now that the attack was not successful, if he made the decision later, it would probably be completely over.
That would be great.
Hydra is about to be exposed. Instead of being dug out and finishing everyone off, it is better to use Dr. Zola's mouth directly. Firstly, it can completely clear them of the suspicion of attacking Howard Stark. Secondly, Hydra does exist, but the only Hydra leader who has been developing silently is Daniel Whitehall.
As for Alexander Pierce's suspicion?
What suspicion could there be on him? He had asked the Security Council for permission to be released on medical parole, and the Council agreed. Moreover, Alexander Pierce had now completely abandoned Daniel Whitehall, and he had probably cleared his connection with him completely.
Just then.
Boom boom boom!
An armed helicopter came from a distance and landed in the open space in front. Then, John Wick on a stretcher was pushed out by several medical soldiers, and then quickly taken over by the military doctors and nurses of the base.
John Wick and his crew who went to the abandoned quarry also encountered a trap that was supposed to be prepared for Lake. As Lake expected, not only were there killers ambushed around the buildings in the quarry, but there were also... a lot of explosives buried.
When the soldiers at the base arrived there, the images were immediately transmitted to the base's large screen.
Let me put it this way.
The valley was filled with human tissue and a raging fire.
But Lake didn't pay too much attention to the affairs of the valley.
He is waiting for someone.
At noon, a military plane from New York slowly landed.
Olivia walked down from the special plane and threw herself into Lake's arms: "Great, I knew you wouldn't die so easily."
Lake smiled slightly: "Yes, I am not dead. Then, the person who attacked me is about to die. I need your help, Olivia."
Olivia naturally knew why Lake had flown her here, so she nodded without any hesitation like usual and said directly, "Where's the brain?"
Lake took Olivia directly to the base's morgue. After sending away the coroner and soldiers, he pointed to a head on the morgue table that was severely damaged by the explosion and said, "Here it is."
Lake didn't know what kind of ambush John Wick encountered in the quarry, but as the soldiers from the base went there, they found that the area around the quarry was covered with human tissues, and the building in the quarry was directly shattered into ruins, with human tissues all over the ground. Frankly speaking, when the soldiers found John Wick from the ruins, although his breath was weak, his body was intact, their shocked expressions were no less than seeing a miracle.
After all, judging by the appearance of the quarry explosion, the force of the blast would have made it impossible for John Wick to survive, and even if he could survive, he would only be partially alive after breaking the sky.
after all...
There are human tissues all over the ground, and suddenly a complete person appears. No matter how you look at it, the painting style seems weird.
Olivia over there looked up at Lake: "That much?"
Lake nodded. "This is the only one we've found that's confirmed to be Will Wick's. There are many brains collected at the scene stored in the refrigerator over there, but we can't tell whose is whose."
Olivia followed Lake's finger and glanced at the overflowing glass bottles in the transparent freezer. The corners of her mouth twitched. "Forget it, you're fine anyway. Just check it slowly. I think this is cheating, which is not good."
She wanted to help Lake solve the case as soon as possible.
But she didn't plan to eat too much here. Besides, if she ate all of it, Olivia felt that she might have to go to a mental hospital to treat her schizophrenia.
Lake spread his hands towards Olivia: "Liv, I almost got beaten into a pulp."
Before Olivia came, she had seen the on-site photos of Vega Town through Tiffany. When she heard Lake say this, the image of Lake with his body pierced like a brush appeared in her mind, and she curled her lips.
at the same time.
Lake received news from the base information center that they had found the location of Wick Will and his cloned wife and daughter.
A mining town south of Vega.
right.
This town is called this name. Originally, there was no such town. This town was built when ore was being mined. With the decrease of mineral resources here, the population of this town has also dropped from the peak of four digits at that time to three digits today. Even when the last mine in this town is declared completed, it is estimated that it will not be long before this town will disappear.
There was a soldier in the army who was born in this mining town. Yesterday, when he was talking to his mother, his mother told him about one thing. The neighbor next door had purchased more food than usual in the past few days, and sometimes at night, he could hear the voices of children inside.
This inconspicuous clue was directly captured by the military's information collection center. Then, the Department of Homeland Security contacted the sheriff who had come to investigate. After confirming with the sheriff, they immediately asked the sheriff not to alert the enemy. Then, the message was transmitted to Lake.
This is Lake at full power.
A part of that.
With full investigation authority and military authorization from the Pentagon, even if it is an ant appearing in New York, with such powerful force, Lake can know whether the ant is native to New York or when it moved in from other places.
Boom boom boom!
Lake, dressed in a suit, led the most elite marines in the base and boarded the attack helicopter.
"dog!"
At Lake's command, the armed helicopter took off instantly, and the other three armed helicopters also took off and quickly flew towards the direction of the mining town.
"Sir."
"explain!"
"There's a gunfight going on over in Mineral Town, and the local sheriff is resisting."
"…"
Lake said to the driver: "Speed up."
The pilot didn't say anything. Although he had already increased the speed of the helicopter to the highest point, after hearing Lake's words, he pushed again and tried to push the speed of the helicopter beyond the limit.
Mineral town.
The local police engaged in a fierce battle with a group of clone killers. As for why they didn't use missiles to wipe out the enemy this time, Dr. Merrick also thought about it, but Dr. Zola was dead, and their hackers had no way to climb onto the city wall under Tony Stark's protective wall, let alone hack in. Moreover, in this case, it is estimated that the base's missiles would be launched directly at the moment the helicopter took off.
In this case, naturally, the clone base cannot use missiles to wipe out the enemy.
The Clone Killer has a lot of firepower.
The small town police station, which already had hundreds of people, had never seen such a scene before. After just one battle, the sheriff had to order his men to retreat into the house and protect Will Wick's cloned wife and daughter inside. At the very least, this way, they could slow down the pace of the killers outside.
After all, the military is already coming here. Persistence means victory.
but...
This sheriff, who became the local sheriff in his thirties, had obviously never seen any big scenes. After he and his team evacuated into the house, the gunfire from the clone killer outside stopped.
The sheriff, huddled under the window, looked up out the broken window.
Ounishet!
But outside the window, a clone killer was seen carrying a Stark Industries shoulder-fired rocket launcher and aiming it at the house where they were.
boom!
The clone killer pulled the trigger directly and the rocket flew out instantly.
Just then.
Some strange changes occurred in the fireplace of the house, and then a silver light blasted out from the fireplace, and then expanded directly at the moment it went out.
Expecto Patronum!
