A retired reincarnation of a certain American film.

The relationship between Jack and Natasha is a relationship similar to a tacit understanding that has been formed between Luke and Maria Hill.

Luke knew that Hill would ask Natasha to inquire about their movements from Jack.

It's like Hill also knew that Luke would ask Jack to inquire about SHIELD's movements from Natasha.

But both sides maintain a tacit understanding.

Luke and Hill would never force Jack and Natasha to get information.

If you know, you know, if you don’t know, you don’t know.

Moreover, both parties limited the scope of the information to a fixed number of people.

That is Luke and Hill.

Just like Jack told Luke that Hill suspected that Luke was not traveling but had other purposes, Natasha also told Hill about Jack's behavior at the hive base at that time.

That is……

It seems that while Jack was imprisoned in the hive, he suddenly developed an ability that was not a mutant ability, and seemed to be able to control his clones.

But now, as shown in the video, this appearance looks very much like the photo of Jack looking a few years older.

This seems to make sense.

The person in the photo is Jack, but a copy of Jack.

As for what Melinda said just now, all the clones in the hive base have been destroyed?

"Ah."

"Mei, do you remember that when they were destroyed, they said they found two empty cloning chambers with liquid in them, but no clones?"

"remember."

Melinda thought about the information sent back by Agents of SHIELD last month: "According to the investigation later, there was a saying that the one in the cloning warehouse should be Jack's clone. As for the other one, it seems...it is yours."

Natasha said: "What did Seve say?"

Melinda recalled: "Seve checked the monitoring logs of the two cloning warehouses and confirmed that the two clones were irreversibly damaged during the cultivation process, so they were discarded."

Natasha then asked: "It's just that these two clones are missing."

Melinda nodded firmly: "Yes, when we burned it, we carefully checked the quantity and the number of cloning warehouses."

Natasha sneered: "I understand."

What else is there that I don’t understand?

The answer is already obvious.

The only clones that disappeared were hers and Jack's. Then, in Natasha's mind, the conversation between Jack and her when they came out of the hive reappeared.

That was outside the hive, when Luke was having a showdown with his new Texas lover Heather, while she and Jack were standing far away.

"I know what you want to say. I have already ordered you to destroy them all. You'd better not take a few out secretly."

"Destroy them all, what a pity."

"..."

In Natasha's mind, after hearing this sentence, Jack looked disappointed and seemed to be a little cautious, and once again couldn't help but sneer.

obviously.

Even after her warning, Jack still chose to play a very novel way of playing.

Good guy.

You really don’t know how I got the name Black Widow.

You're afraid you're crazy.

Jack Allen.

Natasha took a deep breath.

"Commander, location."

"You want to go there?"

Hill immediately guessed Natasha's plan.

Natasha nodded directly.

Hill refused outright.

"No."

"why?"

"Because now is not the time."

Hill said very calmly: "If that is really Jack, it can only mean that I am right. Luke and the others really have time to hide it from us, so before they figure out what is going on, Until then, we have to maintain our professionalism.”

In a word.

At the moment, Luke doesn't know that his little brother Jack has been exposed, so SHIELD can follow behind in the dark to see what Luke is playing.

Hill believed that Luke would never send his most loyal horsemen to Texas in this way for no reason.

Then the problem is coming.

What exactly is over there in Texas?

and also……

Who is the Asian guy next to Jack in Texas?
Luke clone?
It should be impossible.

Hill thought about the cloning records retrieved at the hive base. Although it showed that Luke's DNA was used to try to cultivate clones.

But none of the clones were fully formed. To put it bluntly, almost every clone was stillborn.

It seems that everyone's clones can be cloned, but Lu Ke's is blocked by an unknown force.

But if that Asian guy wasn’t Luke, then who else could it be?

After Hill repeatedly warned Natasha not to act without permission, she hung up the video communication, crossed her hands and put her chin on it, her eyes flickering.

The most important thing.

If there is no doubt that the one in Texas is Jack, then judging from this matter, Hill now feels more and more that Luke's trip to Eastern Europe, I am afraid that the result of the "travel" just concluded will once again be marked with a big question mark. .

Hill came back to his senses, opened the notebook in front of him, closed the situation report he had just prepared to write, and reopened the list of Luke's trip to Eastern Europe compiled by SHIELD agents. Sokovia, Croatia, Albania…

None of this is a problem.

What these places have in common is obviously poverty, but at the same time, it is undeniable that the natural scenery in these countries is very good.

Whether it's Rachel's social account or Lorna's social account, it all shows this.

Only the last stop, Poland.

Hill carefully looked at the itinerary of Luke and others in Poland, then seemed to think of something, and then looked at Rachel and Lorna's social accounts.

Although Rachel and Lorna's trip to Poland also had beautiful scenery, compared with the previous countries, from the perspective of exquisite photography, it seemed to be too hasty.

No, we still have to see what is in the forest on the outskirts of Poznań.

Hill raised his eyebrows, thinking this in his mind, and grabbed the phone beside him.

"Ah!"

"..."

Thousands of miles above the ground, Luke, who was on a video call with Seve, sneezed unexpectedly and then rubbed his nose.

Seeing this, Sever said with a smile: "Hey, who is thinking about you again?"

Luke shrugged: "The people who care about me are much older."

Seve directly gave Luke a roll of his eyes: "I'm afraid it's not that when you were in Eastern Europe, you provoked a woman of unknown nature again, and then because you left without saying goodbye, people are blaming you."

Lu Ke chuckled and said: "I never do the kind of things that start with chaos and then give up. I'm not that kind of person."

Seve thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed: "That's true. I agree. It's true that you didn't always give up. You just like the new and dislike the old."

Luke heard the resentment in Seve's words, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"We love the new and hate the old, where do we start talking about this?"

"Heather Miller, that Texas girl you hooked up with two months ago."

"What's up with her."

"Didn't you promise to find her in a few days?"

"..."

Luke raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Are you spying on me?"

Sever rolled his eyes again: "Now I either deal with the FBI or the military every day, and I also have to help monitor the clones in Stoneville Town and Kahn City. How can I have time to monitor you? , my daughter told me that spying on her father does not count as surveillance."

Luke suddenly realized.

"Alice?"

"Correct."

Seve shrugged: "Obviously, you didn't say you wouldn't let your daughter spy on you, and your daughter sees that I miss you very much, so..."

Alice in the Z dimension is currently studying at Hela, but there is another Alice, but she has replaced Zora and become the intelligent center of the hive base.

And that Alice in the red dress was created by Zola with all her efforts. It can be said that if Zola can do it, Alice can also do it.

Of course, in terms of computing speed at best, it's not as scary as Zola.

When Lu Ke heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head: "Okay, I will indeed go to Texas in a few days."

When he flew to Poland with Lorna and Rachel the day before yesterday, he did receive a call from Heather Miller on the way.

Heather seemed to be in some mood on the phone, other than worrying about discovering Luke's true identity.

Just like Luke said.

Women are easy to coax, especially after Luke heard that Heather was worried, he directly said that he would go to Heather immediately after handling the matter at hand.

Of course.

None of this matters.

Because the trip to Texas was originally part of his plan, and it just so happened that Heather's incident gave him another reasonable excuse and reason to go to Texas.

Seve spread his hands directly.

"Look, we like the new and hate the old."

"How can this be called liking the new and hating the old?"

"You clearly promised to come to me immediately after finishing the work."

"……All right."

Luke heard it, and Seve was undoubtedly jealous. He rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Dear, you know what's going on in Texas. Even without Heather's call, I would still go, and you must Admittedly, Heather’s phone call gave me a more reasonable reason to go to Texas.”

Sever shrugged, then said casually, "I know."

But knowing is knowing.

Jealousy is something that doesn't matter the occasion or situation.

Luke had no choice but to promise Seve that if things in Texas went smoothly, he would immediately go to the Hive Base to accompany Seve as soon as the matter was completed.

If calculated according to time.

If the business in Texas is finished, the time will be almost the same and it will be the day when the FBI in Kahn City will be relocated.

No matter from which aspect, he was going to stand up for Seve and show the face of the military and the FBI.

Because next, he can just use this hive base to integrate the legacy and industry of Whitehorse that he took over, and directly clean up the situation.

Relying on the hive base, let Seve create a company, integrate assets, and have Hydra agents under him.

He has already thought of a name.

What other company name could there be that could match Hive Base?

Just call!

Umbrella!
