49. Friends(1/2)
The invasion encountered by the Pagasos base was quickly responded by the headquarters of the Sky Eye Association.
The invasion came too suddenly and lasted too short. When the support troops of the Sky Eye Society arrived, the agents who woke up from the manipulation of the soul gems had already begun to spontaneously clean up the collapsed ruins.
"The enemy's goal is very clear, it comes for the Stone of Space."
Because of his aggravation of his illness, Amanda Waller was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed by his most trusted mysterious agent Alice, and monitored the scene under the escort of several agents.
She looked at the collapsed warehouse that was being cleaned by a large machine with a calm expression, and said to the communicator at her hand:
"We did not monitor the enemy's escape route, which means they have the ability to use space gemstones. The remaining gamma energy on the scene also shows this. They were transferred directly through space."
"I've said it long ago, Waller, it's a wrong choice for you to leave that thing at the base of Pagasos."
Fury's voice came from the communicator, he said slowly:
"According to your protection, the loss of the gem is only a matter of time sooner or later."
“Isn’t this in the plan?”
Waller was not angry. Instead, she sat in a wheelchair, supported her chin with her left hand, and asked expressionlessly:
"If you think there is something wrong with our defense system, then according to the style of SHIELD, when you remove all the containment here, you should take the space gem together."
"But you just leave it here, doesn't this mean that you are happy to see the gem taken away by unknown forces? I'm just taking the blame for you."
"Don't say it's so ugly, Waller."
Fury was silent for a few seconds, then sighed, and he said:
"This is not my plan either. You should understand, Waller, the level of the Infinite Gem business is about, I am just an executor, but believe me, this is a good thing."
"This kind of dangerous thing that can affect the cosmic level will only cause a lot of trouble when left in the hands of humans. The Tianma Plan in 1987, the Kerry invasion in 1994, and even the inside story of World War II are all related to this thing."
"From the perspective of us ordinary agents, sending it out is the right choice."
After hearing Fury's explanation, Amanda Waller looked at the cleaned ruins in front of her. She shook her head and waved her hand to signal Alice to push her away from the place.
She leaned against the wheelchair, closed her eyes and said to Fury:
"This is not like you. You just let go of danger."
"Is Nick Fury old and unable to do it? Or is it that some of your plans are already being implemented, and the loss of the gem is just one of the links?"
"hehe."
Faced with the disciple's unceremonious questioning, Fury laughed dryly, and said in a brief tone:
"You can guess, but I can guarantee that the Sky Eye will have nothing to do with this matter. Take care of yourself, Waller. In addition, the Raccoon City Base has prepared 'treatment' equipment for you."
"There is not much time left for you to make decisions. If you still want to live, call me, ok?"
After saying that, Fury hung up the communication.
Waller didn't speak, but just let her friends walk in the dim passage in the wheelchair. After a few minutes, Waller began to cough violently, and an abnormal luster appeared on her face full of pain.
Alice, behind her, immediately took out a few bottles of medicine and water to help Waller take a smile.
Alice, with a dark hair, squatted beside her wheelchair, and she looked at Waller with a worried look, and she whispered:
"You are becoming weak, Waller, don't be willful. Whether it is intelligent transformation or biological experiments, you can save you, as long as you nod."
"I"
Waller, who was pale, bit her lips. There was a stubbornness in her painful eyes, but looking at Alice's concerned gaze, she smiled hard, reached out to touch Alice's hair gently, and then put their foreheads together.
This slightly intimate action made Alice's cheeks flush.
"I know you're doing it for my own good."
Waller whispered:
"I was alone, but now I'm not worried, so I'll think about it again."

Merlin pushed open the door and walked into the treatment room of the mysterious house.
In front of him, there were two creature cabins that were incompatible with the magic costumes here, and his female butler was skillfully manipulating the thing.
In the creature compartment, there were two unconscious men.
Billy Russo, the "beautiful boy" who was transformed into a reinforced tyrant by Hydra.
And, Frank Casol.
The last host of the black light virus, the hero who calls himself the "punisher".
These two guys are Merlin's former friends.
The friendship between the three can be traced back to 12 years ago. In Afghanistan, Frank and Russo, who were still Marines at that time, fought side by side with agent Merlin to fight against the madmen of the Ten Rings.
That memory is not far away, but for Merlin, who has commanded a hell and has begun to compete for the king of hell, the memory is as distant as a matter of the previous life.
Although he was in the mysterious house before, he had been paying attention to the ebony's actions to steal space gems. Then Merlin unexpectedly discovered an old friend who had not seen him for 12 years.
It was just a good idea to bring the two injured virus hosts back to the mysterious house. While watching the previous theft, Merlin also collected some other things.
“It’s broken.”
The raven set his eyes on the table at hand, where there were piles of dark blue pieces, like broken gems or crystals, but in fact, it was a pure energy aggregate.
He reached out and pinched a piece, put it in front of him and looked at it. The faint blue light illuminated his face.
He said:
"Although it is only used to preserve the energy shell of the space gem, it has been in contact with the rough stones all year round, and these fragments also contain huge and mysterious energy, and may be used in other ways."
“It’s pretty good to use for decorations.”
Xuanlan walked to Meilin, she snuggled in the raven's arms, and she looked at the beautiful fragments and said to Meilin:
"Maybe I could make it into a decoration, a bracelet, or a ring or something."
"Then it's up to you."
Meilin turned his head and kissed Xuanlan on the forehead. He didn't care about the purpose of these fragments.
It's just a bunch of energy aggregates, which is not too important to the Lord of Hell.
But the time for the two to enjoy the warmth did not last long.
"Oh, it's time for little Jonathan to feed."
After more than ten seconds, Xuanlan screamed. She raised her wrist, looked at the time, then hurriedly kissed Meilin on the cheek, and then quickly left the treatment room with the pile of fragments.
She was anxious to prepare milk for her parents, and her anxious look made Meilin unable to help but curl her lips.
Women, this is true. When you have a child, you forget your husband.
After Clark's son officially became Xuan Lan's godson, that is, his godson, he originally only devoted himself to the spirit of Raven Maharaja, but now he has shifted most of the focus of his life to Jonathan Little.
Because Louise Liane was going to work, the baby had been fostering in the mysterious house in the past few days, which made Xuan Lan more and more like a real mother.
Merlin was not jealous, he was not a childish man, but this feeling of being separated from part of the attention made Lord Raven feel a little uncomfortable.
"But this is a good thing. Life always has to worry about it. A pale life with a single body has no nostalgia."
Merlin said softly, then turned his head to look at the biocabin in front of him. He tilted his head and looked at the front soldier with his eyes closed in the biocabin. He said:
"You said right? Frank."
"right."
Facing Merlin's inquiry, he lay in the biocabin, and the punishment who was receiving treatment responded in a low tone, and then opened his eyes.
Through a glass, he looked at Merlin who appeared between the living compartments, and Frank had a weird expression on his face. He was silent for a few seconds, then breathed a sigh of relief, he said:
"Long time no see, Agent Merlin."
"Long time no see, Frank Casol, or I should call you Punisher."
Merlin looked at Frank and frowned and said:
"But it's a good thing for old friends to meet. Why do you have to lower your head and dare not look at me? Are you afraid that I will find your 'little secret'?"
"I'm just"
Frank in the creature compartment raised his head, glanced at Merlin's eyes, and then glanced to the side.
The raven's eyes were too sharp. Seeing the blue eyes, it seemed like they were looking at a mirror. All the hidden emotions and secrets in his heart seemed to be invisible.
This made Frank, who already had self-doubt, feel a little uncomfortable.
"Click"
Merlin reached out and pulled open the biocabin. As the white cold gas squirted, Frank, who was moving his arms, walked out of the biocabin.
The black light virus in his body was showing a crazy warning, keeping the host away from the dangerous ravens.
But emotions told Frank that Merlin was trustworthy, and this physiological and psychological contradiction made Frank stand by Merlin.
He didn't know what to do, so he looked a little helpless.
"I say"
