The era of American comics begins

Chapter 468 Infiltrator

Pacific Ocean, at an altitude of 7000 meters, inside a Quinjet fighter.

"The heading has been calibrated and the autopilot has been activated. Estimated arrival time at the Helicarrier: three hours."

Handing over the rest of the work to the computer, Agent Aegis Tim Bessemer let out a long breath.He let go of the joystick and let the thing drive itself, then turned his head and gestured OK to his partner.

His partner, Agent Lewis, was checking a list, checking the items in the list in order.Their Quinjet fighter jet carried a batch of valuable cargo, and no matter which one was lost, they might not be able to afford it with their lifetime wages.

"Thanks to Director Stark, at least it's much easier to fly a plane than in the past." Agent Tim jokingly pointed to the joystick that automatically controls the direction, and came to his partner, "How is it?"

"It's almost there. All the goods should be here." Agent Lewis had checked to the last page, and he asked casually without looking up, "Speaking of which, I remember today is your daughter's birthday?"

"Yeah, I'm almost four years old in the blink of an eye."

"Maybe you should go back and accompany me?"

"Originally." Tim sighed, "but you also know that I can't get away from the series of things before."

Agent Lewis nodded understandingly.

"Counting today is No.40 five days ago, I just want to go back and hug my lovely little daughter."

"But it's already over." Agent Louis said, "Anyway, there should be nothing for us in the future, after all, the captain has already caught it."

The atmosphere became a little bit heavier.

Tim fiddled with his fingers and rubbed his temples.

"That act...is impossible to change."

"That's for sure, no one can stop it anymore. After all, not even Captain America."

"When I was a child, I often heard the story of Captain America from my grandfather. He often told me that without the captain's selfless dedication, perhaps even this country would no longer exist." Tim paused, "And that man is squatting in the In the mothership's prison."

Agent Lewis stopped what he was doing. "Don't say that, Tim—even if you really think so. We're government employees."

"Yeah, I understand. But even that doesn't feel right to me," Tim said stubbornly, tapping his knuckles on the plane's control panel. "Look, we're people who follow orders. We're quite So the bullets -- when the muzzle is pointing, we're going to shoot there, and that's fine. But the Avengers... they're becoming like us. If being a superhero is just a bullet in the chamber, then they Where is the difference with us? Is it just more powerful?"

"Okay, I understand what you want to say, but let's stop here." Agent Lewis has already counted.He turned off the floating screen, stood up and sat back in his seat, "This is not something we can discuss, or the opinions of people like us don't matter at all. Anyway, the outcome of the matter is already settled, and no one wants to willing to accept the question."

Both agents fell silent.The plane was eerily quiet, save for the roar of jet engines for the next few minutes.

"You say," Tim said, "is he going to the gallows?"

Louis was taken aback: "There is no hanging this year."

"No, there are still."

"...That won't work for him either."

"really?"

Louis didn't answer.

Flying towards the headquarters for a while, the identification response of another aircraft appeared in the radar of the fighter.The opponent's block was huge, and from the recognition reaction, it seemed that it should be an Airbus.

Agent Tim sent a communication: "This is Aegis Quin-type fighter number 0049, please identify yourself."

"Here is the Aegis CX-3921 team. It received an order from Director Stark to perform an escort mission from the branch. Action code: Wasp. Over."

If the code is correct, there shouldn't be any problems.The signal recognition did indeed determine that the other party was an Airbus in the Aegis establishment.Moreover, the level of secrecy within the Aegis system for this escort mission was relatively high, and there were very few people who knew the route, so the two agents quickly dispelled their doubts about each other's identities.

Until a tractor beam shot from that Airbus caught the Quinjet's fuselage.

The autopilot automatically disengaged at that moment, and Tim grabbed the joystick hastily but it was too late.Most of the systems of the Kun-type fighter were paralyzed in an instant, and even the communication was cut off in the same instant.The fighter plane entered a state of complete crash, like a dying bird, being sucked weakly towards the Airbus by the tractor beam.

"SHIELD CX-3921 team, call back immediately! What kind of plane are you talking about?" Agent Tim slapped the communication button vigorously, wishing to swear.But all he answered was a chaotic murmur.

A fighter jet is swallowed whole by Airbus, like a bird of prey swallowing a sparrow.Then the whereabouts of the huge body gradually disappeared and disappeared until it merged with the sky and disappeared.

***
A few minutes later, a certain Tianjian branch whose location is kept secret.

In the empty room, the door was slowly unlocked.The commander-in-chief of the branch slowly walked into the empty room, and the automatic door was locked and closed behind him.

The monitoring system has been shielded, the network inside the room has also been cut off, and the signal shielding has also been activated.For at least the next minute and a half, everything that happened in this room was kept absolutely confidential and would not be leaked in any way.

The commander came to the console and turned on the computer, but he did not enter the system of Tianjian, but entered a very strange interface through some entrance.He quickly operated on the console, a communication window popped up on the screen, and at the other end was the silhouette of a fuzzy black figure.

"Have you got the things?" the commander asked.

"It's in hand." The other side replied.

"It didn't cause any trouble, did it? Did Aegis notice it?"

"No, we acted very carefully." The other party said, "The cargo needs to be stagnant for three days, and it will be transported to the mothership in three days." After a pause, the man asked back, "On the contrary, it is your side. Tianjian's side is more Dangerous. According to the observation results, that black knight is not a good person, in case he notices something."

"I know." The commander snorted coldly, "Who do you think I am? I haven't exposed the latent mission so far, and there is no reason to make an exception this time."

"Let's hope that's the best."

"Okay, the time is almost up." The commander said, "Exceeding the time limit may indeed cause unnecessary suspicion. Let's do this first, and we'll talk about it later."

The communication was cut off, the screen went black briefly, and then returned to normal.

The signal shielding ended, Tianjian's system was restored, and the global network was reconnected.The Commander nonchalantly left the room as if nothing had happened.

He thought that his actions were seamless, that no one would notice his small movements.

He was wrong.

All the while, Michael sat behind the monitor watching him, his elbows resting on the arm of his chair, his knuckles tapping lightly on the tabletop.

"How about it, sir?" Shirley asked. "We can arrange to capture him now, and we'll be there in a minute."

"No." Michael said lightly, "Let's keep him for a while."
