Chapter 102 099: New stage, let dog eat dog
At night, in the Tri-Wing Building on the banks of the Washington River, the agents were very busy today. The entire building was lit with lights, and the offices on the top floor were also bright.

Alexander Pierce had not rested yet. He was sitting on a chair, frowning and staring out the window. Below him was the harsh agent who had just returned from the car. When he saw the body being carried out of the trunk, his frown deepened. , and his fists couldn't help but clenched.

Boom boom boom! ! !
"Come in."

Alexander heard the knock on the door, turned his chair, faced the door, and soon saw Jasper Sitwell pushing the door open and walking in hurriedly.

"Minister, please give me some time to explain."

Jasper walked to the table and immediately lowered his head.

"You'd better explain clearly why we didn't get any information about Hill and the Avengers' action plan. I asked you to be optimistic about Nick Fury and the intelligence team. As a result, you disappointed me so much."

Alexander had a sullen face. If they hadn't known about this plan beforehand, Eugene Phil wouldn't have been exposed.

"Hill didn't mention the contents of the plan to anyone. The people she sent were all personally selected by Nick Fury, and Nick Fury seemed to be aware of problems within SHIELD, so he didn't tell anyone else. This action plan was not even discussed within S.H.I.E.L.D., and we only received the news from Agent Hill after the plan started."

Jasper lowered his head, cold sweat dripping down his smooth head. He pushed up his glasses and wiped the sweat off the tip of his nose, "This might not be good for us."

"Damn it, Nick Fury started to doubt the inside of SHIELD, and he didn't tell me his plan."

Alexander frowned, his expression became a little complicated, and he kept tapping his fingers on the table.

"Nick Fury suspects that there is an insider. Will it affect the Insight Project? If he starts investigating the inside, he may be a threat to us."

Jasper raised his head in warning.

The Insight Project is a project that uses satellite systems and space carriers to identify criminals and terrorists, and target them for tracking and arrest. The project plan was planned by Alexander Pierce, but in fact, the ultimate purpose of the plan is not to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s service will instead become Hydra’s weapon to rule the world. Because of the Insight Project, the underlying code is based on Dr. Zola’s algorithm, which can identify and analyze citizens who are potential threats to Hydra and help Hydra in advance. Get rid of unnecessary troubles and threats.

If this plan can be realized, it will be a crucial step for Hydra in the future.

"If Nick doesn't become suspicious, then he's not Nick Fury, but he can't find me yet."

Alexander Pierce knew his friend very well, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can leave, I will take care of other things."

"Yes."

Jasper nodded vigorously, turned and left.

Alexander Pierce, who was sitting on the chair, pressed a button, and soon the door was knocked again. This time the person who came in was a sad-looking Nick Fury.

"I've heard everything Hill did."

Alexander said with a serious face.

"It sounds like you want me to apologize. I admit this mistake, but this time the plan was too rushed, so I didn't have much time to ask you for instructions."

Nick Fury sat on the chair opposite him and said calmly without any panic, "But the plan was finally completed."

"I don't mean to blame you. You did a good job. You caught the enemy off guard and rescued a group of trapped poor people. Your plan this time was not leaked."

Alexander Pierce showed an appreciative smile on his face, "I read the operation report, and there were no casualties."

"You doubt it too."

Nick Fury did not pay attention to other words and keenly grasped the key points of Alexander's words.

"Yes."

Alexander stood up as he spoke, sighed and said, "I have stayed in SHIELD longer than you. You were very young when you came here to help me. We were all young at that time, and God There is not that much chaos within SHIELD, but it is different now. I feel that there are always some people within SHIELD who have changed their inner thoughts and original intentions, or maybe they did not intend to take this path in the first place."

"How are you going to solve it?"

Nick Fury was a little relieved to see that his friend was also concerned about the mole. Maybe he should have discussed this issue with him earlier, otherwise there would not have been so many problems.

"I do not know."

Alexander shook his head and looked out the window at the bustling scene on the other side of the river. He sat back in his chair for a moment and said, "I have served as a minister on the Security Council for many years. Before that, I was also the director of SHIELD like you, but I am very I will be leaving office soon, and this position will be given to you then, but my only wish before leaving office is that the Insight Plan can be implemented perfectly."

Nick Fury smiled helplessly and said: "You sound like an old man when you speak now. Regarding the Insight Project, the technical department is currently in the research and development stage. There are space carriers and the ones left over from the Battle of New York. The wreckage was a big help to the project.”

"The faster the progress, the better. I hope you focus on this matter and put other things aside. The Insight Project is not only important to my career, but also to the entire SHIELD."

Alexander put away his smile and said with a serious expression.

"I understand what you mean, but there are other things."

As a senior executive of SHIELD, Nick Fury also understands the importance of the Insight Project. As Alexander's friend and subordinate, he also knows that if this plan is successfully implemented, it will be a huge success for his friend's career. , especially it will bring a perfect end to his resume and allow him to go further in the officialdom in the future.

But this does not mean that the importance of the Insight Plan is above all else. For Nick Fury, organizational security is the most important.

"Do as I say. The project budget has been approved."

Alexander saw his friend's thoughts and interrupted his thoughts, saying, "I hope you won't let me down."

"Yes."

Nick Fury stood up helplessly. Before leaving, he stopped, looked back and said, "Pierce, actually I don't want to sit in the minister's position."

"Damn!"

When Alexander heard this, he cursed and leaned back on his chair. After hearing this, he understood what Nick Fury was thinking. He would definitely not put all his focus on the Insight Project, which meant that Nick would still be interested in SHIELD. Conduct a thorough investigation within the bureau.

He mused, "I have to think of a new plan."

Just as he was thinking about it, his eyes fell on the report content on the table. It was the report on the Hill agent operation. It recorded the latest situation in the mutant underground base after Eugene's death.

"Let your dogs eat dogs."

Alexander Pierce sneered and dialed Jasper's phone, his gloomy face was unpredictable.

In Hell's Kitchen, New York, in the underground base under the warehouse, one day has passed since Eugene was exposed. After handling the follow-up work of the mission, Rojo and others also returned to the underground base one after another.

However, unlike before, when Rojo walked into the base, he could clearly feel that the negative emotions emanating from everyone were stronger than before. At one point, Rojo was even affected when he tried to read minds. I feel the same way, the depressing emotion makes me breathless.

If negative emotions were dark clouds in the underground base before, then, what hangs over everyone now is the dark clouds of a stormy night.

In addition, the underground base itself was dimly lit. When Rojo went to the professor's tent, he noticed that there was no light in everyone's eyes, and some were just gloomy.

"Things don't look good."

Marcus also noticed everyone's expressions, swallowed, quickly followed the team, and said: "Everyone is not in a good mood."

Logan Howlett sighed, shook his head and said: "Eugene's incident hit them hard, especially how many promises Eugene made, how many bold words he made, and how much he inspired them. So, they It's so heartbreaking." "Marcus, John, go and call Sonia and the others to the professor's tent, we have to have a meeting."

The people Rojo was referring to were naturally important members of the underground base.

Afterwards, he and Uncle Wolf first came to the professor's tent. Fortunately, Eugene had paid great attention to the professor before, and the tent's area could be used as a temporary conference room.

They originally planned to use Eugene's tent, but thinking about Eugene, they had no plans to go there for the time being. In addition, Tony suggested that everything related to Eugene be dismantled, which would make some people feel better. This suggestion It was not adopted, mainly because the base's infrastructure was too little and there was no condition to do so.

"came back?"

In the tent, Lorna was accompanying the professor. The sad looks on their faces showed that they had already watched the video.

"Well, the situation is as we thought, but now it seems that the situation is worse than before."

Rojo sat on a chair and closed the curtain of the tent to isolate the sounds from outside as much as possible. In fact, few people outside spoke. Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and fell into silence. Some just sighed.

"I didn't expect Eugene to be Hydra. After Sonia found out, she stayed in the tent and never came out."

Lorna rested her face on the table with one hand, her green eyes showing worry and sadness, "She must be very sad."

"Where's Caliban?"

Logan saw no sign of Caliban.

Lorna sighed and said: "Don't talk about him, he is sadder than anyone else in the base. He thought he found a safe haven, but it turned out that this was just a breeding pen."

"Eugene's identity is indeed difficult for many people to accept. After all, he is the founder of this base, but he is doing those dirty things. I didn't see through his mind."

Professor Charles' eyes were full of self-blame, and he said: "I have telepathy, but I failed to do what I should do. If Eugene's identity was discovered from the beginning, more people might be saved from danger."

"Professor, don't be sad about this matter. The thing developed internally by Hydra can temporarily produce resistance to telepathy. In addition, your body has not fully recovered yet. I want to wait until you fully recover. Eugene is sure Can’t hide it.”

Logan comforted him, patted Rojo on the shoulder again, and said, "Besides, Rojo didn't notice. He is a healthy young man."

"What does this have to do with Rojo?"

Not to mention the professor was stunned for a moment, Lorna on the side was also a little confused. She sat up straight and her eyes fell on Rojo. The girl relied on her years of intuition to smell a different smell.

She wondered, "Do you have something to say?"

"Rojo, you are the protagonist in this matter. As for you, I don't want to steal the show. To be honest, I would rather watch the show."

After Logan Howlett finished speaking, he smiled and said nothing.

"Actually nothing."

Rojo is a little embarrassed, mainly because of telepathy. After you have this ability, if you say you don't like to read thoughts and don't use it often, no one will believe it.
In particular, he had used it on Lorna many times before, not just Lorna, but everyone in the base.

"Is there really something wrong with you?"

Lorna became curious and noticed that Rojo looked confused and embarrassed, which made her look forward to it even more.

The professor on the side noticed something wantonly, with a kind smile on his old face, and said: "Rojo, tell me quickly, I want to hear if it is the same as I guessed."

"Charles, can you guess this?"

Logan didn't believe it.

"Say it."

Lorna couldn't wait to urge. At this time, suddenly, the metal necklace hanging on her chest actually floated up, and was entangled with a familiar green light. After struggling for a few times, it flew out from the snow-white neck and spun in mid-air. A few laps.

hum! ! !
Whoosh!

The next second, the necklace directly penetrated a plastic bottle on the table, and then flew in front of the girl under Lorna's slightly trembling pupils.

"That's all I have to say."

Rojo pinched her stiff face, and a coin jumped between his fingers, "I learned your ability."

"you"

Lorna's eyes widened, and she swatted away Rojo's hand and went to grab the necklace in the air, but was dodged. She tried to pull it back from the air, but the opponent was obviously stronger than her and couldn't pull it away at all!

However, she felt the green light emanating from it, which was very familiar to her, and she was 100% sure that it was the aura of her own ability!
She looked at the necklace, then looked at Luo Huo in surprise. She opened and closed her mouth for a long time, holding back a sentence and said: "How did you do it? Can you teach me?"

"I'm afraid I can't teach you. This is my own ability."

Rojo shook his head

"Your ability is to learn our ability?"

Lorna is not stupid, no, she is very witty, and of course she understands what Rojo wants to express, but she still can't believe what is happening in front of her.

She had never seen or heard of someone who could learn other people's abilities. Such an ability was a bit too mythical.
"Professor, what did you guess?"

Logan couldn't help but look at the professor and asked.

"I guessed learning and evolution, and it seems I was right."

Professor Charles smiled and added, "Actually, I knew the answer after reading Logan's thoughts."

"Damn, you said you wouldn't do that again."

Logan subconsciously touched his head and said speechlessly: "I know you can't believe too much in what a psychic mutant says."

"Sorry, I just looked forward to the secret between you too much."

Professor Charles smiled awkwardly.

Next to her, Lorna realized later and looked at Rojo with anger in her eyes, her face flushed, biting the corners of her lips, and asked coldly: "So, Rojo, you also have telepathy?"

"Ah."

"Then have you also read my thoughts?"

"Well, there have been a few times."

"It turns out you understand everything, so why are you pretending that you don't understand!"
