12. Saving Private Logan(1/2)
"That's how it is, Fury."
After a snow slope in the Snow Mountain Canyon, Merlin contacted Fury with his mobile phone. He probably told Fury about the current situation, and he concluded:
"I won't mention the mutant Logan you asked me to find may be in that base. Just talk about the hundreds of mutants trapped in the base. I don't think it's the right choice for us to just give them to the fraternity."
"Magneto's power in Canada has expanded very seriously, and we should find a way to weaken it."
"What do you need me to do?"
Fury asked on the other end of the phone:
"Do I need to give you the authority to mobilize the special reaction troops?"
“No, no need.”
Merlin said:
"The agents in my department are enough to solve the situation in front of us. After all, with the X-Men acting with us, they will be responsible for the main attack, and we just need to do a good job of rescue and finishing."
Speaking of this, Merlin stopped, he said:
"But this is an operation in Canada, a military operation in another sovereign state. Once discovered, we must have a prepared remark."
"Oh, I get it."
Fury's tone became cold:
"You call me to prepare for the blame, right?"
"Uh, that's what I can say."
Merlin shrugged, and he said:
"I try to control the situation and will not make it difficult for you to do it. But if there are uncontrollable factors, then you can only take action. Just like we cooperated before, I will do it, will you be fine if you finish it, Fury?"
"What can I have a problem?"
Fury said:
"You have started to mobilize agents from your department, aren't you? Can I still stop you from going out to save the trapped innocent people? Am I going to stop you from performing your duties?"
Director SHIELD sighed helplessly, and he said:
"Anyway, let me prepare for the next time, right?"
"Um."
Merlin responded, and when he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly asked again:
"Fry, about Hydra"
“I’m checking.”
Fury's tone became more serious, he said:
"I found some interesting things on the line of the Far Star Plan you discovered, which should be a clue related to the ancient legend of Hydra. If I guess correctly, then the clue of this line should go directly to the 'conservatives' in the Hydra system, that is, the most traditional faction."
"Also, Merlin, the comparison results of the spectrum diagram you sent a few days ago have come out. The energy that made the mutants disappear is somewhat similar to the energy emitted by the universe Rubik's Cube, but not exactly the same. If possible, remember to bring back those sources of energy radiation, which may bring me new ideas."
"Yeah, I get it."
Merlin responded and hung up the phone.
Beside him, Ororo also ended his contact with the X-Men. She took off the communicator in her ear and said to Merlin:
"It's done, Hank will soon bring other men here, about 25 minutes."
“25 minutes?”
Meilin was slightly surprised and said:
“From New York to here?”
"right."
Ororo chuckled and said:
"We mutants are not people who are old-fashioned. We will also use the power of technology. Hank is our technology official. He is one of the people with the highest IQ in the world. A few years ago, he invented very advanced aircraft with aircraft that are more than twice as fast as the most advanced fighter jets in the military."
"Well, it seems that I really underestimate you."
Merlin smiled, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and he said to Ororo:
"I'll call my warriors and gather here 30 minutes later. The Mutant Brotherhood plans to start the attack in a few hours. If we're fast enough, we can lose all our money this time. Of course, to be on the safe side, you'd better let the professor come over and if he can fight, so that we won't be helpless when facing Magneto."
“The professor will come.”
The storm girl's expression was a little worried, she said:
"The professor used some special medicines to temporarily restore his strength, but that medicine would damage his body."
Merlin's expression changed a little. He glanced at the base in the distance and said:
"Professor Charles is indeed a real good person, as the rumor says, and can fight for the innocent."
"The professor is also a good leader!"
Storm Girl says:
“Many people are willing to follow him.”
"Is he really?"
Merlin asked in an uncertain tone, but he had no intention of arguing about the matter with the Stormwoman, so before Ororo refuted him, Merlin stood up and left the valley in the light of the Spell.
When Merlin returned to the base camp in New York, he was already organizing equipment with two demon hunting teams that received the order to assemble in advance.
In the years since its establishment, this department has been separated from its original youth and has a complete and mature action plan.
Because of the particularity of alien agents, at the s.d.o.l.d. headquarters, there is always a minimum of operation team on standby, which can ensure that the situation will be intervened in the shortest time when an alien is in chaos. In addition, it is the time for new agents to complete special training recently, so the number of field agents within the department is absolutely sufficient.
"Sir!"
Seeing Merlin appear, Level 4 field agent commander Jimmy Wu immediately reported:
"The 2 Demon Hunting Team has been assembled for a total of 40 people. The soldiers are changing their clothes and can set off in 10 minutes."
“We have 30 minutes.”
Merlin said to Agent Jimmy:
"Let the newcomers be prepared for combat and put them into the team of two old agents. This time the operation is less dangerous and can be regarded as an armed training."
"In addition, if we have three medical officers bring enough necessary medicines, we may have to undertake part of the rescue mission."
"Okay, sir."
Jimmy got the order and immediately turned around to execute it.
This Chinese agent was one of the first old agents to enter S.D.O.l.D., who was originally a field agent in Colson and Melinda's team, was later sent to Central City to investigate the murder of Mrs. Nora, and then returned to headquarters during the vampire war. After Colson, Melinda and Sharon were sent out, he was promoted to the chief officer of the field agent.
Jimmy's resume is also very glamorous. She has beaten vampires, beating werewolfs, dealing with ghoul injuries, and has also captured escaped succubus alone. She has strong learning ability and her super-executive ability makes Merlin very satisfied.
But the problem with this guy is that he was first brought out by Coulson, so his style of conduct is very similar to that of Coulson, both of which are moderate agents who are unwilling to solve problems with violence.
So, next step, Merlin plans to send Jimmy to Philadelphia and continue to partner with Colson. The two of them must be very good at it.
However, this will be discussed after Barbie, Trip, Lincoln and Mike, a little immature new agent commander, grows up.
More than ten minutes later, in the training ground on the 5th floor of the underground of the 21st Century Bell Telephone Company, Merlin looked at the more than 60 agents who were ready to go in front of him. He coughed lightly and said in a deep voice:
"Agents. What we are going to intervene this time is the dispute between the mutants."
"I know, some of you clever ghosts will definitely ask, what does it have to do with mutants fighting to death and killing us?"
"The answer is yes. Guys, the departmental responsibility of s.d.o.l.d. is to intervene and calm the paranormal phenomenon. The unique social phenomenon of mutants also falls within the category of paranormal events, so we must take care of this matter!"
"But I won't let you just rush into the mutant battlefield, fight with those guys who have dangerous powers to fight to the death. Remember, we are supporting roles in this operation. Our mutant allies will help us open the battlefield. All we have to do is follow them and rescue some poor people who are illegally imprisoned."
Merlin strengthened his tone and said:
"But this doesn't mean you can rest assured. I need you to keep your eyes open all the time, just like fighting, do you understand? When you encounter an unknown creature with hostility, shoot, and when you encounter troubles that cannot be solved, call for support!"
"I will not act with you. Agent Jimmy will be your commander, and Consultant Elsa and Consultant Dobby will serve as your supporters."
Merlin said:
"You did a great job in confronting the aliens, so I'm looking forward to whether you will be as good as before when facing the fierce human villain."
After saying that, he looked at Jimmy beside him, Elsa who had just arrived, and the little devil Dobby who was standing on the edge and would not be seen by ordinary people. He looked at the time, then turned around and walked to a door leading to the utility room next to him, inserted the key to the mysterious house into it, and calibrated the position with any door to the snow-capped valley in Canada.
The moment Merlin opened the door, a cold wind rushed into the basement with snowflakes.
Merlin turned sideways and said to the fully armed agents behind him:
"Now, go!"
Under Jimmy's leadership, more than 60 agents entered the door in a row, while Merlin and Elsa stood at the end, Miss Bloodstone complained in dissatisfaction:
"Little girl Ruiwen is still waiting for midnight snacks. You'd better hurry up!"
"It's 2 o'clock in the morning, she's not asleep yet?"
Merlin frowned and said to Elsa:
To be continued...
