Chapter 913: Garrett's Rebirth, Don't Lose My Compass
Ward inserted the needle into the gallbladder and injected the blue-black GH-325 agent into it.
The blue-black liquid quickly invaded and merged with the orange-red centipede serum, and the gallbladder instantly turned into a gradient light purple.
"Is this done?" Ward asked unconfidently.
"Of course it's done." Lena said calmly, and Ward carefully put the gallbladder back and sealed the lid.
“If it were easy…”
Before Garrett could finish his words, he began to twitch in pain, shaking violently on the sofa, and a lot of saliva spurted out of his mouth.
The most outrageous thing was that there were large patches of lava-like burnt red on his face, as if he was about to explode.
When Ward and Lena were at a loss, Garrett stopped twitching and his breathing gradually became normal, but his pupils were wide open, as if he had seen something incredible.
Ward looked at him carefully and asked, "What do you feel?"
Garrett raised a strange arc at the corner of his mouth and said in an amazed tone: "The universe."
"What do you mean?"
"I have a clear vision of the civilization outside the earth and the endless knowledge." Garrett stood up and laughed excitedly, "No, I have to write them down, my brain is almost full."
"Wow! So you're alright?"
"It's alright, Ward.
I feel better than ever, kid." Garrett said as he walked to the door of the laboratory and easily removed it.
"I need a nail. Find me a big nail."
Someone immediately handed Garrett the nails, and he couldn't wait to carve on the door.
Straight horizontal and vertical lines connected with circles form a very neat but difficult to understand pattern.
"John, to be honest, you look like you're crazy," Ward said frankly.
Garrett responded with a smile as he painted, “Thanks to you, I was reborn.
There were some setbacks along the way, but we did it and we succeeded.”
Ward nodded oddly, a trace of loss emerging in his heart, as if after achieving his goal, he had lost the direction and desire to go further.
“I can’t believe this, this is what we’ve been aiming for all along, to save you.
We have allied ourselves with Hydra for this very purpose, right?"
"Achieve symbiosis." Garrett said casually.
“Now we have achieved our goal!
I mean, we are not true believers either, right?" Ward whispered with a guilty conscience, and then he realized that there might be some other meaning in his words.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’ll follow you wherever you go.
It’s good to have our own people in key positions, but then what? Are we really going to have a coup?”
"It's more like a rise, larger than Hydra." Garrett stopped depicting and turned to look at Lena, "Where's Quinn? How is his preparation going?"
"I'm happy to cooperate." Reina smiled confidently, "You guys took the Gravity Gun that he had been longing for back from SHIELD, and he can't refuse this reward.
The Death Warriors have made a pretty good advertisement. Quinn has already negotiated with several generals in the military. They will personally go to Rongke Industry to see the research results of the super soldiers. "
"Very good." Garrett smiled with satisfaction, then patted Ward on the shoulder, "Ward, you took good care of me and gave me everything I wanted.
Now is the time for you to figure out what you want, and I'll make sure you get it, kid, I feel like I can do anything now."
......
Rongke assembly base.
Coulson's team parked outside the base in two cars.
"Are you sure it's here?" Coulson asked.
"I'm 100% sure that Garrett and Ward are both in this base." Aaron yawned in boredom, and the compass in his hand accurately pointed to the direction of the base, "But I didn't expect you to be so shameless.
It's only been two days, can't you let me live a peaceful life?"
"I'm very sorry, but SHIELD is also short-handed right now." Coulson blushed for the first time, "Although Fury promised to send a new action expert, it will be too late by the time he gets here.
But we don't want to wait any longer. Ward and Garrett are in great danger now. They must be punished. We also have to take back our plane, and you are the only one who can find them in the shortest time."
Aaron looked at this kind face and unconsciously clenched his fists. "Why didn't I realize that you deserved a beating before?"
Coulson's expression froze, and he said awkwardly but politely, "Didn't you say that I could come to you if I had any problems that I couldn't solve?"
"Haha! I did say that, but I didn't expect you to be so rude!"
"You didn't refuse, did you?"
"I didn't refuse because..." Aaron hesitated, "This has nothing to do with you."
"It doesn't matter. Your willingness to come is the greatest support for us."
Aaron rolled his eyes, then silently opened the task panel.
[Help Coulson's team take back the Airbus;
Completing the mission rewards 200 magic points; there is no penalty for mission failure; Accepted]
If it weren't for these two hundred magic points, he wouldn't bother to come!
"Coulson." May's voice came from the headset, "Something's going on. I saw Quinn. He seemed to be showing the military around."
"What?" Coulson was stunned for a moment, "Why are the military here?"
"There doesn't seem to be anything to be confused about." Aaron said with a playful smile, "Garrett and Ward don't have much to show for it, and the only thing that the military would be interested in is..."
"Centipede serum?"
"Who says it's not true? As long as they can reach cooperation with the military, they will have a protective umbrella.
By then, it may not be that easy for SHIELD to cause trouble to them again."
"Do they believe this?"
"It's better to believe it than not to believe it!" Aaron laughed teasingly, "Hammer was able to sign a large number of orders with the military with a batch of fake products, so why can't Quinn sell centipede serum to the military?
What's more, Mike Peterson broke into the drug lord's lair alone two days ago and sent a big drug lord to meet Satan with one punch.
If nothing unexpected happens, the live advertisement is inside this base."
Coulson pursed his lips, held down his headset and said, "Guys, I think we need to act in advance. We can't wait for them to come out."
"Ready." May immediately loaded the pistol, and Skye's movements were not slow at all.
"Don't rush it, we need to make a plan first and make sure we know what we are going to do.
Aaron and I attacked from the front to draw attention and open a path.
Mei, you and Skye crawl in and capture the person in charge who controls the Centipede Squad. As long as we subdue him, our chances of winning will be greatly improved.
Fitz, Simmons, you are non-combatants, please provide support outside.
do you understand? "
"I see." Skye said.
"Coulson, this plan is feasible, but... we have no backup." Mei took a deep breath and said, "There are only a few of us, and we are at a disadvantage in terms of both numbers and firepower.
Didn't you ask Nick Fury for support? S.H.I.E.L.D. can't even send out a special operations team now!"
“Uh…” Coulson smiled awkwardly, “I applied, but was rejected.
In Fury's words, you dragged a man who is not weaker than Captain America and can fight against the Destroyer into this mission, and you still have the nerve to ask for support?"
"Haha!" Aaron sneered and said contemptuously: "Fury knows how to use resources reasonably.
He didn't let me carry out this mission alone, but asked you to accompany me, which is already a way to cover up his own mistakes."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Coulson's team's faces. They wanted to retort, but when the words came to their lips, they couldn't say anything.
Although Aaron is not very famous and does not have any outstanding achievements, his strength should not be underestimated. At least he has never lost in their memory.
"You got paid, after all," Coulson said, trying to save his dignity.
"One million." Aaron said with a chuckle, "I charge more than this for a random fortune-telling in my store. Didn't Nick Fury just extort a sum of money from the board of directors?
Is it true that the richer you are, the more stingy you are?"
"Uh... you may have misunderstood this.
From what I know about Fury, the more money he has, the faster he spends it, and it’s not his own money anyway.”
Aaron curled his lips, speechless.
When he first came to this universe, he was very frugal with his money, but now...money is just a number.
......
On the other side, Garrett was in a room admiring a ball of mercury-like silver fluid suspended in a transparent container.
"Very charming, isn't it?" Lena said as she walked in.
“When I first saw it, it reminded me of a lava lamp.
Of course, I couldn’t see through it at that time.”
"Quinn hopes to get the Gravitonium in return. It would be wise to give it to him after he is done."
"Don't beat around the bush. I know you have other plans for this thing. Now I understand. I can see through it completely." Garrett said, looking at Lena playfully, "I can see through you too."
"Ward is concerned about your sanity."
Garrett shook his head and said excitedly: "The drug not only strengthened my body, but also made my mind clear. It allowed me to see the new world waiting to break out from under this world.
You don't think this is crazy, do you?
You know exactly what I'm talking about, you always have."
Reina smiled faintly, “I have no allegiance to Hydra, the Centipede Project, or Rongke Industries, and the same goes for you.
The only thing I'm interested in is..."
"Evolution," Garrett interrupted confidently.
Lena was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing across her face, as if she didn't expect Garrett to guess her thoughts.
"You know we are just like those prehistoric creatures, slowly getting out of the mud, through the thick fog, struggling to get on the land, in order to stand up, or take root deeply, or fly into the sky."
"Yes, I was very disappointed when I found out that you didn't have the ability of clairvoyance. There is a question I have never asked, but now..."
"Now I have all the truth in my sight, so...
Don’t hesitate, little flower skirt, just ask.”
Hearing this, Reina nervously adjusted her breathing and suppressed her beating heart with trepidation, "What will I become?"
Garrett smiled mysteriously, "You will get the evolution you want, but not from me."
Lena:? ? ?
If you want to kick me out, just say so. I don’t want to stay here anymore either.
......
"Huh!" Coulson took a deep breath and looked at Aaron who was sitting in the passenger seat. "Are you ready?"
"That's about right!" Aaron took out a flintlock pistol from the space ring. The black and gold body of the gun was engraved with intricate patterns. On the grip was a striking blood-red Red Spider Lily, with its petals extending towards the gun body, which was luxurious yet restrained.
"The newly modified Higanbana, the gun is 200mm long, has a capacity of nine rounds, and is breech-loaded. This is the proudest work of my life as an alchemist."
"But we are going to charge head-on now. Wouldn't it be inconvenient for you to hold this gun?"
"Don't insult my exquisite skills with your suspicious eyes." Aaron snorted coldly and gently stroked the gun of Higanbana. "Just drive. I will handle what you can't do after you get in."
Coulson blinked thoughtfully, "Why do I feel like you're here to test the gun?"
"You figured this out. Otherwise, do you think I would help you find someone if you paid me one million, and come here with you guys to risk your lives?"
"This..." Coulson shook his head speechlessly, then lightly stepped on the accelerator to accelerate.
The car crashed into the gate, and the noise it made immediately attracted the guard's attention.
The guards along the way raised their guns and fired, but Aaron was faster. The enchanted bullets were filled with a trace of magic power, and after being enhanced by the red spider lily, their power was no less than that of a cannonball.
The golden bullet exploded into flames after being fired. One bullet could eliminate a wave of guards. Coulson drove the car through the outer defense zone with almost no obstruction.
Coulson was surprised at the power of Higanbana and reminded them hastily, "We have to open a path for Mei and the others."
"No problem." Aaron decisively turned the gun around and blasted a hole in the wall.
"Good job, guys." May immediately led Skye through the gap and into the base. "The window is open."
"Go find the person in charge. I don't want to face those centipede soldiers." Coulson said.
"Let me say this." Aaron said in a serious tone, "I'm making an exception and lending you the compass, but you'd better not lose it, otherwise... I will definitely kill you. Not even Nick Fury can save you. I say that.
I am not kidding, for the record.”
Hearing this, Mei and Skye, who had just entered the wall, paused.
May shrugged at Skye, "It looks like your plan has failed."
"How can I..."
"Forget it! How can you hide your little tricks from me?"
Skye looked at the constantly shaking needle on the compass, and a trace of loneliness flashed across his expression.
She was now thinking about the location of her parents, and had intended to secretly use a compass to look for them, but Aaron didn't seem to be willing to give her that opportunity.
"Let's carry out the mission first! Skye, there's no rush to find your parents."
Skye nodded, calmed down a bit, and silently recited the position of the person in charge in his mind.
The erratic needle on the compass suddenly stabilized and pointed to a building.
