Nick Fury's people moved fast. Within an hour, Black Widow received a folder in her inbox.
Inside, there was evidence of Obadiah secretly selling weapons to terrorists, as well as a video sent by the terrorists of Tony Stark being tied to a chair.
"Looks like you were right. It really is related to Obadiah. But it will take a little time to find Tony Stark."
"Once we find Tony Stark's location, we'll rescue him immediately. Wait for my good news."
Black Widow looked like she was about to leave.
Qin Xiao quickly grabbed her.
"I'm going with you!"
Qin Xiao knew that with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s strength, rescuing him wouldn't be a big problem.
But he had a mission to complete, and points were a good thing.
"No, this isn't your job. Trust us!"
Black Widow flatly rejected Qin Xiao.
"Tony is my friend, and I provided the clues. No matter how you look at it, I need to go. Besides, I'm not some ordinary civilian."
Qin Xiao stared back at Black Widow, not backing down at all.
Suddenly, Black Widow's phone rang.
The call was from Nick Fury. Black Widow naturally chose to report the situation.
To Black Widow's surprise, Nick Fury agreed to Qin Xiao going along.
But there was a condition: Qin Xiao had to join S.H.I.E.L.D.
As Qin Xiao was hesitating, the system's voice rang in his mind.
"Mission: Join S.H.I.E.L.D. and become an agent!"
The mission had a point reward, so Qin Xiao naturally wouldn't let it go.
But he still couldn't help but ask.
"System, why do I have to join S.H.I.E.L.D.? Wouldn't it be more free outside?"
The system's reply was. "To allow the host to better complete some subsequent missions, don't worry, the host won't be working for S.H.I.E.L.D. forever."
With these words, Qin Xiao felt much more at ease. "I agree, I'll join S.H.I.E.L.D., you can take me to Afghanistan."
Qin Xiao had been hesitating just a moment ago, but unexpectedly agreed. Black Widow was a little puzzled.
"Why? Didn't you say you didn't want too many restrictions?"
"I need a job!"
Qin Xiao said with a cheeky grin.
Black Widow naturally didn't believe this, but there was nothing she could do about it if Qin Xiao didn't elaborate.
She could only say, "Alright! Get ready to go to Afghanistan with me to complete your first mission, rookie agent!"
Southern desert of Afghanistan.
A Quinjet cut through the sky, slowly coming to a stop at the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The rear end slowly opened, and a metal ramp was lowered.
A civilian off-road vehicle, manufactured in China and bearing Pakistani license plates, slowly emerged from the plane.
Black Widow and Qin Xiao, both dressed as backpackers, sat in the front seats of the vehicle.
Black Widow, in the driver's seat, gave the plane a slow thumbs up.
The Quinjet's tail and the three jets on its wings emitted a blue flame, soaring into the sky.
It left the area in an instant.
"We already know the location. Shouldn't we send in several planes, a group of special operations personnel with real guns, and go 'rat-tat-tat' to rescue the person directly?"
Qin Xiao made a machine gun gesture with his hands, asking with confusion.
"First of all, that approach requires a lot of prior reconnaissance, such as the enemy's numbers, weapons, and location. We need to ensure the hostage's safety."
"Secondly, they aren't in Afghanistan, they're in Pakistan. Although this desert is a no man's land, we can't just enter their airspace. That's dangerous."
Black Widow said casually, driving with one hand.
"Why?"
Qin Xiao didn't understand. In the movies, even if it wasn't just the United States, even the Avengers could go wherever they wanted, whenever they wanted. When had they ever had problems with national borders or territories?
"Because Pakistan has an ally behind it, called China. There's a saying, 'Don't walk around a lion with weapons.'"
"Any country knows that China can leave the world, but the world can't leave China!"
Black Widow said lightly.
Qin Xiao understood what Black Widow meant. It was fine for the two of them to drive in, but it was different if they were flying a fighter jet.
And although it wasn't the same time and space, Qin Xiao still felt a little bit of excitement for the strength of his country.
An organization like S.H.I.E.L.D., their fighter jets didn't dare to cross the border of Pakistan even a little bit.
That's how much they were wary of China.
Seeing Qin Xiao's proud expression, Black Widow said with a smile.
"I almost forgot you're Chinese. You know, there's a saying in the intelligence world, no matter if they are international spies, agents, or even mercenaries, never, ever enter China! Do you know why?"
"Oh? Why?"
Qin Xiao was quite interested.
"During the Cold War, Soviet and American spies were all over the world, anywhere, but everyone who entered China mysteriously disappeared."
"Just from what I know, both the Soviet Union and the United States sent in no less than three groups of a hundred people each, and all of them went missing."
"Legend has it that the intelligence agencies of both countries eventually received a note from the relevant departments in China, with four large characters written on it: 'No Entry for the Living!'"
"I used to think it was just a legend, until I entered the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. I saw that note with my own eyes, and it was simply unbelievable!"
Black Widow was telling Qin Xiao about certain things related to China. The vehicle was heading south, entering the territory of Pakistan.
The border between Pakistan and Afghanistan is a vast desert, a no man's land.
Neither side had stationed troops in the desert.
But after the Ten Rings terrorists, who called themselves freedom fighters, kidnapped Tony Stark...
Knowing that Afghanistan would be turned upside down by the Americans, they very cleverly took their people directly into Pakistan.
This way, they not only evaded the search by the U.S. military, but as long as they didn't get too close to the desert border of Pakistan, no one would enter this desert to search for them.
But they never expected that their video would fall into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.
They were very cautious when sending the email, using servers from different countries to forward it.
The terrorists in the video also covered their faces, only revealing their eyes.
But adding the location of Afghanistan, that was already enough for S.H.I.E.L.D.
