A retired reincarnation of a certain American film.

Well known.

The Federation is a very rule-based country.

Of course.

Regardless of whether he is still playing like a gangster in his heart, there is a saying that the more a person lacks something, the more he cares about it.

The same is true!

The same goes for countries.

and so……

Although the core of the federation is still "robbery", in everything, unless necessary, they will show great respect for rules.

The same goes for law enforcement powers.

"This is Nevada, not California."

"This base was discovered within the jurisdiction of Kahn City, not underground in Los Santos."

"so……"

Luke said with a smile: "Commander Hill, your SHIELD has high-level law enforcement powers, but I don't. You must understand."

Maria Hill was stunned for less than a second, then said "understood", then shook her head and said: "I didn't expect Director Dann to have this consideration, but Director Dann is in Bangzi Country... "

Luke smiled.

"Bangzi Country is different."

"Why is it different? As far as I know, the FBI does not have foreign law enforcement powers."

"The colonies have no sovereignty."

"Ok."

After hearing this, Maria Hill couldn't think of an excuse to refute this sentence for a while, and shook her head: "So, Director Dane plans to just pat his ass and walk away, leaving the mess to me?"

Lu Ke sighed: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that my name is not justified and my words are inconsistent."

Maria Hill smiled.

"What if I come to communicate with the state director of Nevada."

"Let's talk again."

"Say more?"

"Correct."

"alright."

Maria Hill didn't force herself after hearing this, she said with a smile, and then said to Natasha: "Natasha, does Director Dane have a few new friends who are still on our command plane?" , especially Director Dane’s latest relationship, the new female friend who is worried about Director Dane?”

Luke raised an eyebrow.

Natasha glanced at Luke and said in response: "Yes, Commander, Ms. Heather Miller is still waiting for news in the lounge we arranged."

Maria Hill hummed: "Then don't let us, Ms. Heather Miller, worry and be afraid. Send an agent to explain it to Ms. Heather Miller, and don't let her misunderstand our great path. Director K. Dann."

Natasha opened her mouth and looked at Luke.

Luke had already realized what Maria Hill was doing, and raised the corners of his mouth: "Commander Hill, you wouldn't play with me like this, would you?"

He had not thought of hiding this from Heather Miller.

after all……

A man, a real man, Lu Ke never does the disgraceful act of putting up his pants and not recognizing others.

It's no big deal that Heather Miller knows who he really is.

But whether you know it from his mouth or know it from someone else's mouth, these are two different things.

At least.

What she said was a surprise, but if Heather Miller found out from others, it would be a different story.

Commander Hill also smiled and said: "Director Dann is planning to leave such a mess to me. I can't bear the blame."

Luke smiled and said, "Can't you carry it?"

Hill shook his head: "I can't carry it. Besides, Director Dann and Director Pierce were following up on this case from beginning to end. Now you take the credit and we take the blame. This isn't appropriate."

Luke shook his head and was speechless.

"Then Commander Hill has any good suggestions."

"Joint investigation, half the credit, half the blame, fair and just."

"I reject."

"what?"

"Director Pierce and I are doing the preliminary work."

Lu Ke shook his head with a smile and said: "Furthermore, this time, I brought my woman and my little brother in to take risks. As a result, you took away half of my credit as soon as you came up. Is this appropriate? This is not appropriate." , Commander Hill.”

Maria Hill pursed her lips: "So, we can talk?"

Luke shrugged.

"We can talk."

"Okay, how do you divide it? You tell me. In short, SHIELD will never take the blame for what happened here, at least not 100% of the time."

"You don't have to pay full compensation, and I can share the credit 50-50 with you. When the superiors ask, let's check the confessions. It can be said that we have been secretly working together."

"condition."

Maria Hill was not as easy to fool as Nick Fury. She was not dazzled by these words, but asked calmly: "Director Dann is so generous, it reminds me of Dongguo." In a word, if you are polite to others, you must ask for something."

Luke laughed and said, "I didn't know Commander Hill knew anything about Dongguo culture."

The corner of Hill's mouth rose: "Only by understanding the culture of the opponent I am dealing with can I better understand what the opponent is thinking."

Before she joined SHIELD, she was a Middle East intelligence analyst for the military staff.

And he is still the best, bar none.

To achieve this, you need to work hard. At the very least, you have to understand the other person's living habits and thoughts in order to prescribe the right medicine.

When Luke heard this, he didn't make any detours with Maria Hill and directly offered the price: "I'm interested in this base. It's mine."

Maria Hill raised her eyebrows.

"This underground base?" "Yes."

Lu Ke smiled and said: "I broke into this base, and the loot belongs to me. It's reasonable."

Maria Hill thought for a while: "Leave it to the federal investigation..."

Luke interrupted directly.

"Not to the FBI, but to me."

"Uh……"

"It's something that's not included in the file, and I don't want anyone else in the FBI besides me to know about it, especially not in Quantico."

"What do you want this base for?"

"The environment here couldn't be better for a safe house."

“The definition of a safe house is one that no third person knows.”

"Is Commander Hill still an outsider now?"

"..."

Maria Hill was silent for a while, thinking about it. After a while, she said aloud: "Okay, but what to do with Dr. Zola will belong to SHIELD and will not be recorded."

Luke raised his eyebrows: "Zola isn't online yet."

Maria Hill said: "But Zola will not die. That's right. SHIELD must know the inside story of this case. So, does Director Dan accept such a deal?"

Luke's thoughts were spinning.

next second.

Luke smiled slightly.

"Row!"

"Does Director Dane agree?"

"can."

Luke nodded and said: "But if you want Zora, you can't ask for Sever. Moreover, I must meet Zora first. After all, my daughter has not been found yet."

Hill also nodded: "No problem, SHIELD doesn't care about the Seifer organization. As long as Director Dane is optimistic about Seifer and doesn't let him cause any big troubles that trigger our alarm. If it's not Zola but Arnim Zo Hell, SHIELD wouldn't even care."

Because Dr. Zola once belonged to Hydra, and now he is recruited by Luke to be an informant and undercover in some Cobra organization.

That's what Hill cares about.

It doesn't matter if you are a Hydra or a Cobra.

Must die.

In the eyes of SHIELD, not to mention cobras, even cauliflower snakes are not allowed to appear.

soon.

After Hill left a message that she would reach her destination in two hours, she hung up the phone.

After Luke ended the call, he looked up at the ceiling.

"Alice!"

"Buzz!"

The projection of Alice in red dress fell instantly.

"Father."

"Is Zola online?"

"My mother is trying to restart grandpa's core server. It is expected to be online in ten minutes."

"it is good."

Luke had automatically ignored the title of Alice in the red dress. After responding, he looked at Natasha and Alexander Pierce: "Sasha, do you want to go see Zola together?"

Alexander Pierce waved his hand: "I must return to Washington as soon as possible to find out what my impostor did while I was away. Maybe I can find clues to Cobra's lair."

He didn't communicate with Luke.

At least there was no chance to talk to Luke alone.

but……

Smart people don't need to chat alone at all. With a look and a few words of conversation, they can figure out 70% of things.

The most important thing.

Too many words will be lost.

Rather than stay here and let the shield on the side see any flaws, it is better to do the next best thing and leave here first.

Luke was not surprised by this and nodded: "Okay, this time it angered them. It must be that our previous or ongoing investigations are about to touch them, so they are getting anxious now. You have more authority than me." Gao, they stole your identity, they must have done something, and it’s time to investigate, especially since the news hasn’t been revealed yet.”

Alexander Pierce hummed and looked at Hawkeye.

"When will the plane arrive?"

"Already arrived."

Hawkeye put down his right hand covering his ear and looked at Alexander Pierce: "The commander asked me to escort you and Brigadier General William Stryker back, so as to prove it to you two."

talking.

Hawkeye said something to Natasha on the side, and then looked at Alexander Pierce and William Stryker.

The two rescued people didn't say anything more. Instead, after hugging Luke, they left the underground hive base under the escort of Hawkeye and three SHIELD agents. They took the plane that had been parked in the open space and made an emergency landing after taking off. Flying to Washington.

Luke, who was left behind, took Jack and Natasha with him. Under the guidance of Alice in the red dress, they found the place where they were protected by three layers inside and three outside. However, Dr. Bai accidentally discovered the clue and gave it to them. In the computer room of Dr. Zola who was offline.

The temperature in the computer room is a bit hot and humid.

Seve, who was repairing the Zola server inside and trying to get his teacher back online, even took off his coat, revealing the shorts underneath. He ignored the sweat on his forehead and rested attentively.

Luke looked into his eyes and knew clearly that Seve was doing it to show him.

because……

Seve was silently pleading for Zola.
