The era of American comics begins

Chapter 51 Concussion
Once Whitehall died, the Hydra forces under his leadership were defeated.S.H.I.E.L.D. has fully controlled the situation in the abandoned theater. According to the original plan, the next step should be to set bombs to blow up key tunnels in the underground city and destroy a temple located in the core of the city.

Of course, this was all the original plan, but the plan has to be shelved now.Because one of them, Agent Skye, chased a woman named Reyna into the city.

Lena is also a carrier of the alien gene, and she believed that she was destined to be different since she was a child.She took the initiative to cooperate with Hydra, helped them find the alien city, and secretly took the obelisk into the depths of the city when Aegis and Hydra were fighting each other.After finding out, Skye also chased her down to the ground.

If Fury was here, he might order the detonation without hesitation, taking the overall situation into consideration.But Agent Coulson is obviously not Fury. He couldn't accept leaving his favorite agent inside to be buried in this alien city, so he decided to go down and bring Skye back himself.

"I take back what I said earlier that you were crazy," Agent May looked at Coulson, who was strapping on his seat belt and preparing to jump into the bottomless hole created by the ion drill, "you are now crazy."

"Skye is one of our most important members. I must bring her back." Coulson said stubbornly.

"Hell, but you're the chief, you can't."

"If I don't come back, you're the director." Coulson interrupted in a non-negotiable tone. "Stay here for me, May. If we don't come back within 10 minutes, you seal the entrance and prohibit any People come in and out."

"Colson, don't even think about it."

May wanted to argue, but the rest of her sentence was drowned out by a thruster beep.The afterimage of steel smashed open the door and flew in, passing over the heads of the two with a whirlwind, and rushed in along the hole before they had time to react.

The two agents froze for a while on the edge of the hole.

Coulson turned his head slowly: "Did you see what I just saw?"

The results of the in-depth terrain scanning feedback showed that the depth of the cave was more than 100 meters. Michael adjusted his posture and opened the drag plates on the two wings of the thruster when he dived to the distance of 50 meters. Slow down quickly and land steadily.

The underground space was pitch black, and there was no light source as far as the eye could see.The built-in display of the helmet intelligently activated the night vision mode, and the display interface switched to dark green.

"An electromagnetic shielding response was detected, and a certain high-strength electromagnetic field is enough to paralyze and destroy 80.00% of electronic equipment." Shirley reminded aloud, "The anti-EMP module of the suit has been automatically activated, and it has shielded all electromagnetic influences. The remote control of the suit and the server If the link is interrupted, it will automatically switch to quantum link mode, and the upload speed may be unstable."

Quantum link is an emerging cutting-edge technology in the field of communication. It can maintain the link of long-distance signals regardless of electromagnetic interference, but the disadvantage is that it is unstable.

"Very good. Stay in alert mode, and the detected danger is displayed directly on the screen."

Michael made his way down the tunnel.

The city lay hundreds of feet below the volcanic rock, and these ancient tunnels were dug out of the volcanic rock by the Cree, and their walls were surrounded by black hard mineral rock.There is a thick layer of dust like a carpet on the ground, but through the dust, the engravings carved on the ground can still be vaguely recognized, a bunch of strangely shaped lines with unknown meanings.

That the Cree left these imprints alone is beyond doubt.Energy detection showed that even after so many centuries, there was still residual energy flowing in these imprints, as if water flowed along certain channels under the entire city.

Shirley warned that it is best not to touch these carvings directly. Although she has never seen similar technology and cannot make an accurate judgment, she speculates that if she touches it directly, some kind of substance hidden inside may infect the human body and be infected. The infected are assimilated to the city like a mindless puppet.

Walking to a corner at the end of the tunnel, the word "Danger" with an exclamation point suddenly popped up on the right side of the monitor.Michael paused his footsteps, shrank his body, and a powerful punch slammed into the air from less than a millimeter in front of his helmet with cold wind.

This punch was extremely powerful, but it was absolutely silent and swift.Michael didn't have time to stand firm, and the next punch followed closely. The black fist occupied the entire field of view of the main monitor.

The opponent's move was astonishingly fast, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it surpassed the limit of human beings.But Michael made a quick decision, and he simply didn't dodge and flew with his left foot, kicking the opponent's chest in a blood-for-blood style.But first, he has armor on his body and the opponent seems to be only flesh and blood. Second, his timing and position are accurate. Although he strikes late, he can arrive first. target.

The man's reaction to changing moves was also extremely quick, he simply gave up punching and used an elbow hammer to attack the leg armor he had kicked.Michael kicked the opponent's elbow, and the strength of the two sides collided, which immediately shook the man's figure and staggered back two steps.

Although Michael had the upper hand in this brief three-stroke two-style fight, he was a little surprised.You must know that although the power output of his leg just now was not at the highest level, he still had nearly ten tons of leg strength.And this fellow physically touched, although he suffered some losses, he barely managed to survive.

The man staggered to his feet, slowly raised his head, and it turned out to be a black man with a bald head.He had strong, broad shoulders, a tall man, and thick arms with knotted muscles.His face was as expressionless as if the nerves had died, and some kind of dark substance filled his eyes, covering his pupils.

Shirley automatically activated the facial recognition program the moment he raised his head: "This gentleman is Alfonso McKenzie, a SHIELD agent, a mechanic, proficient in a variety of hand-to-hand combat abilities. The subject's physical abilities have been significantly enhanced , confused and unconscious, suspected to be affected by the alien imprint just observed."

"Thanks, Shirley—although knowing that doesn't seem like it's going to help."

The McKinsey agent came sprinting up again, as aggressive as a bull enraged by a matador.

But this round he had already lost the opportunity to make a surprise attack.Michael deflected the opponent's two punches with pats and pats, and pinched the right fist handed by Agent McCarthy with his left palm.Michael raised his leg and kicked him at the knee, hammered his elbow on his chest, and slashed his neck with a knife.Agent McCarthy staggered back two steps, and before he could catch his breath, he took another pulse cannon.Agent McCarthy threw his head back, fell down, passed out and was unresponsive.

"Sorry, but this isn't aimed at you, Agent McCarthy." Michael said lightly, stepping over the fainting agent, "I'm just in a hurry."

Michael took two steps forward, and the tunnel began to vibrate.Not just the tunnels, but the foundation of the entire underground city began to tremble.Large swathes of dust rustled from the top, and cracks crawled along the inner walls of every vertical and horizontal tunnel.

"The fluctuations come from the temple in the center of the city, and there is a strong energy response at the same time."

At the same time as Shirley prompted, the energy monitoring meter also popped up in the upper right corner of the display interface.The energy readings rushed straight and desperately, and the strong fluctuations on the map were released around the temple like a tsunami. Each ripple carried ten times and a hundred times stronger shocking power than the previous one. The entire underground space seemed to be trembling.

"Warning, the level of shock is increasing rapidly, the building structure is severely damaged, and the space is at risk of collapse." Shirley said again, "There is no corresponding crustal movement detected, unnatural earthquake phenomenon, and the source of the earthquake cannot be determined."

"Relax Shirley, I know exactly what the source of the earthquake is."

Michael stopped and stood outside the temple blocked by a thick stone gate more than five meters high.

"Let's go in and say hello to Shockwave."
