Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

Henry pointed at the fallen green alien.

"—Then I have nothing to say."

Barbara, her handcuffs undone, moved her hands, which were handcuffed behind her back. She wanted to ask how Henry had managed to break free. All she knew was that this man was bulletproof.

But there was something more important at hand. Barbara asked, "So what should we do? Leave? Stay? Tell Fury? It seems Director Kohler is also in trouble."

Henry didn't answer Barbara first, but whistled at the hillock. Only then did the girl notice that Katie was hiding behind the hillock, out of sight, ready to attack the people below at any time. If Henry could control her.

But the whistle didn't send Katie sprinting down the mountain like a tiger, as had been her backup plan. She simply stomped slowly to Henry's feet as usual.

After stroking the tiger's head twice, Henry said to Barbara, "Of course we have to leave. We are here, and even if we stay, we can't help the people inside. Unless we kill them.

"But the idea I most disagree with is going into the base to rescue people. You've seen these aliens infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel. It's impossible to tell them apart unless you kill them.

"With them stirring up discord inside, we can't tell whether the people attacking us are aliens or deceived S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

"It was only then that I recognized him because his frame-up was so obvious. Besides, there are soldiers defending the base. How will they react if we force our way in?

"You don't want them to be able to shoot us, but we can only knock them out or injure them, not kill them. Instead of that, it's better to stay as far away as possible.

"As for Nick Fury inside, whether or not to inform him is up to you. Do you think he's an accomplice, or just an idiot who didn't realize it?"

"Damn that idiot. Being his subordinate is such a fucking tragedy." Despite cursing, Barbara pulled out her S.H.I.E.L.D.-issued two-way pager, quickly typed a message, and sent it.

By then, Henry had pulled back onto the road. Another whistle sounded, and Katie nimbly slipped through the open backseat window. Everyone who saw her had to say, "She's truly a feline."

After sending the message, Barbara got into the passenger seat of the old car. Henry then drove off.

But Barbara kept muttering to herself and looked back from time to time with worry.

Henry looked at it and could only comfort him, "Don't worry about Fury. Although I don't know his experience, he is much more experienced than us. Instead of us going into danger to rescue him, it's better to hope that he can get out on his own."

"But at the beginning, Fury asked us to be backup."

"But when he encountered problems in the base, he immediately turned to your SHIELD executives for help instead of looking for us to solve the problem. It seems that he doesn't think we can do anything. Asking us to be backup is more like an excuse to keep us outside."

Henry's statement was perfectly sound, but Barbara wasn't convinced. After all, she was a well-known figure on campus, both civil and military, so how could she be treated like a newbie after joining S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Just as Barbara was about to say something in reply, she received a message on her pager: "LEAVE." Her mood instantly darkened.

Henry hadn't practiced seeing through messages on the electronic LCD, and since the angle was wrong, he naturally had no idea what message Barbara had received. So he asked, "What's wrong?"

Shaking the pager screen in front of Henry, Barbara said somewhat lostly, "Fury wants us to leave first."

"It seems he's in quite a bit of trouble over there, otherwise he wouldn't have only sent five letters."

"But we can't help."

"Not adding to the chaos is the greatest help you can offer. Without knowing the situation, we rashly turned back and tried to save people. What do you think the situation would be? You want to save me, I want to save you, and in the end, no one can escape. Isn't that how movies often play out?"

Barbara looked at Henry oddly. "You seem like that person in a movie where the hero and heroine are being chased, and the hero says she'll stay behind to cover their retreat, letting the hero run first. And then you actually run away."

"What's wrong with this? It's better for one person to escape than for two people to die together. This is a very sensible thing to do." Henry said confidently.

"But can the film still be made like this?"

"So not continuing as an actor was a wise decision. Everyone obviously disliked the plot because it was too idiotic, but if it wasn't shot that way, no one would watch it. Should I laugh at the audience, the director, or the actors who compromised their performance?"

Chapter 354 The Jet Arrives to Welcome

Although her companions trapped in the base told her to run first, the man beside her actually took her away! Barbara, who couldn't get over this, chatted with Henry all the way.

After all, the American boast of "Not a single soldier left behind" has been widely publicized.

Even in movies, there are many plots of this kind of living and dying together, and it is considered noble.

Although such a social atmosphere makes many selfish people dare not easily choose to give up the path of others when faced with choices.

But it also caused many of the tricked little guys to stay and drag the team down. The last small level where they could survive was turned into a life-or-death situation, and they both paid the price...

However, people are always selfish. If such a social atmosphere is not promoted, I am afraid that when something happens, there will be more people who abandon their companions than those who are willing to stay.

As long as one person runs away, it is easy to drag those with weak wills to run away together, which will eventually turn into a major collapse.

But for Henry, if he let someone run first, it was because he really wanted that person to leave quickly. He could kill the rest of the people as needed, and then he would have no psychological burden at all.

Even if he didn't kill the witness, Henry had plenty of options, whether to run or fly. If his companions insisted on staying, restricting his own performance, what kind of a deal was that?

But Henry knew that his situation was unique and did not apply to others, let alone American society as a whole.

He wasn't worried about Nick Fury's escape. He was worried about whether his presence would cause Nick Fury to die in the Pegasus Project base before he was blinded by the Devourer.

The most important thing was who was with him. Fuss, a member of the Kree Empire's interstellar team and the future Captain Marvel. Even before breaking free from the Kree Empire's restraints, his photon blast was enough to crush Earth's conventional military.

With this female warrior protecting him, it would be hard for Fury to die. Unless their relationship wasn't good enough.

But with the smooth personality of the future director of S.H.I.E.L.D., it would not be difficult for him to coax a confused alien female warrior.

Nick Fury today is like Phil Coulson, who will shine in the TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." in the future.

Although he's a secret agent, he captivates people with his sincerity. His manner of doing things is disciplined but not rigid, and his humorous speech makes it difficult for people to dislike him.

It can be said that if Henry did not know the future appearance of this "Madfake Man" and the cause and effect relationship involved in him, he would also agree that working under him was a good choice.

At least there's a boss above you who can provide protection and shelter, and all you have to do is do your job well. For many people, this is very attractive. The so-called leadership charisma is nothing more than this.

For example, as long as the situation allows, the other party will fly a jet to pick people up...

Henry stopped the car as he watched the small, silver-white, twin-engine experimental jet plane landing vertically in front of him.

The rear hatch of the Quattrojet opened, and Nick Fury, holding a ginger cat, waved to the people in the car and said, "Come on in. You don't expect to escape the pursuit in that broken car."

Although Barbara in the passenger seat didn't say anything, her expectant eyes betrayed her thoughts.

Henry didn't hesitate much on whether to follow or not. If he followed, he would have a chance to meet with the Skrull general, Talos, who had previously sent S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to capture him and Barbara.

I was trying to get some information from the Skrulls. Should I confront their big boss directly or stay with Captain Marvel, who had something to ask of me? At least I could have a conversation.

I hope my intervention won't turn the Skrulls' strategy of winning them over into a violent attack. Perhaps I can also use this opportunity to test the true nature of the relationship between the Kryptonians and the Skrulls.

If the situation really escalates, wouldn't it prove that the threat posed by the Kryptonians is greater than their original purpose in the eyes of the Skrulls?

According to his memories before the time travel, Talos was actually looking for his family hiding on the Kree scientist's spaceship. If Henry really wanted to kill the Kryptonians even at the cost of his family, he would have to seriously consider returning to Alaska for seclusion.

What did our Kryptonian do that would cause the other aliens to kill us the moment they saw us? Would the Kree do the same?

To understand this, Henry nodded to Barbara and pulled over to the side of the road.

They both opened the car door and got out. Barbara angrily walked forward to complain to Fury. Henry opened the back door and asked Katie to get out and follow.

A tiger walking close to your feet is so cool that anyone who sees it will be envious.

Initially, Nick Fury was holding a ginger cat, perhaps with the idea of ​​using cuteness to counter the tiger's might. But now, seeing Henry and Katie walking towards him, the ginger cat in his hand suddenly didn't seem so attractive anymore.

It's said that animals are only just able to speak human language, and they are very sensitive to human emotions. Nick Fury, who was holding the orange cat, suddenly felt a change of mood, and the orange cat in his arms bared its teeth and began to struggle.

Fury accidentally let the orange cat in his arms break free. However, seeing that the orange cat was walking into the plane instead of running out, he didn't worry about the kitten. Instead, he jokingly said, "Is Katie going to eat my Goose?"

"A cat named Goose? Are you serious?"

"The little guy's owner gave him a name, and it's hung around his neck. I can't just change his name to Chewie just because I want to."

Look at that lousy mouth of yours. Did Stan Lee bless it? You even know the original comic book name of this cat. Henry looked at Nick Fury oddly.

Seeing this old black man also felt strange. He quickly made way and gestured, "Are you coming up?" I can only say that the old black man's glaring expression looked more vivid and rich because of the clear black and white.

Of course Henry took Katie with him on board the experimental twin-engine jet.

The Quinjet, which would later become S.H.I.E.L.D.'s standard equipment, was a souped-up version of a helicopter. It had vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, primarily used for troop and transportation, but also possessed the speed of a jet.

As an experimental Quat jet, it already has the appearance of the future Quinjet. The general layout is similar, but the Quat is larger in size.

As for the internal details, Henry began to conduct a comprehensive investigation from the moment he boarded the plane.

He also had in his mind the designs of the Iowa-class battleships and the USS Missouri after modernization. Military-grade equipment like the Quattroporte was something you couldn't find in a library or university.

Chapter 355 Each Purpose

Barbara Morse, who boarded the plane first, holds a Ph.D. in biology, so strictly speaking, she is a science major, not a liberal arts student.

A science major would be uninterested in seeing airplanes, especially advanced jets that have not been made public, and she probably wouldn't get far in her profession.

Barbara is certainly not such a person. Moreover, she did not choose the academic path, but instead joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and became a secret agent of the official organization, which in itself shows her adventurous personality.

How could such a person remain indifferent when seeing an airplane?

So as soon as she got on the plane, she sat in the co-pilot seat next to Foss and asked questions everywhere.

Perhaps it was because they were both women, and because Firth had a very strong sisterly personality, she was happy to answer Barbara's questions.

It is also possible that through the questions and answers, Firth was temporarily putting aside the unanswered worries in his mind.

Nick Fury, who was sitting in the back, was of course not idle either. He asked Henry about what happened when he and Barbara were left outside.

With a witness nearby, Henry had nothing to hide, so he told the whole story in detail.

"That is to say, we can believe that more Skrulls have replaced the original S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. And we can't tell whether they are or not," Nick Fury concluded.

"That's true unless they reveal any flaws in their words or actions," Henry replied.

But he remembered that his old enemies, the Kree, had developed a Skrull detector. Even Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four had developed a similar device to resolve the comic book event Secret Invasion.

In other words, there is a way to detect the imposter Skrulls. This method does not require sampling, and can be discovered just by getting close.

Of course, Henry also used his super senses to analyze, but perhaps because there were not enough samples, he had not yet found an accurate method and only had a rough clue.

To be specific, the inspiration came from the brainwave translator that translates tiger language.

Different species will show different waveforms in nerve conduction. Moreover, the Skrulls are not carbon-based creatures, but are composed of some kind of material that does not exist on Earth.

However, Henry hadn't found a pattern yet that would allow him to conclude that a particular target was a transformed Skrull. For now, he could only judge based on their unusual behavior.

Nick Fury, who had calmed down, was thinking about when Kohler was replaced and whether the officer was still alive.

But Henry didn't leave Fury alone to ponder. He, too, had a number of questions to ask. Perhaps showing a certain level of curiosity would help allay the King of Agents' suspicions. At the very least, it would prevent him from giving the illusion that he was in control.

"Where are we going now? Flee to a foreign country?"

"Of course not. We're going to Louisiana to find someone now."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Maria Rambeau, former Air Force test pilot. Part of Project Pegasus."

"Why are we looking for her?"

"Because this involves solving a mystery. We claim to be Firth, a member of the Kree Star Troopers, and we may have been the pilot of a costly experimental aircraft in an accident six years ago. To find the answer, we can only ask our fellow members of the Pegasus Project."

"Does this have anything to do with the Skrulls?"

"It's related to the answer that Fuss is looking for."

"Then why are you intervening? This has nothing to do with you. Don't you think your top priority should be solving the Skrull problem? Your lair is almost being taken over by the Skrulls."

Nick Fury shook his head and said, "No, no, no, that's wrong, Henry. My intuition tells me that all the answers lie with our Ms. Fuss.

"What are the Kree? What are the Skrulls? What are they doing on Earth? And why is this connected to Project Pegasus, a collaboration between the Air Force and NASA?"

"You wouldn't simply think that if you kill every Skrull you see, that's the end of it. As long as there's a trigger, the Skrulls will keep popping up.

"What we need to do is to find the 'why' and then find a way to address the source. To do all this, we need intelligence, accurate and in-depth intelligence, not just superficial intelligence.

"America already has two million idiots who only know how to shoot. We don't need more. But it's our job to answer the questions of where to point the guns and who to shoot."

"Is that all?" Henry looked at the seemingly righteous Old Black with a suspicious look on his face. "You're using the US military as an example. When it comes to robbery, the US military claims to be second to none in this era.

"Even in those wars we lost, it wasn't as if no one benefited from them. So, I don't believe you're meddling in these matters just to solve problems."

"Ha, smart boy." Nick Fury praised the man in front of him without hesitation. Given the age difference between the two, Fury felt it was reasonable to call Henry "young man."

The old black man, who was clear-eyed, said frankly: "Even if we want to benefit from this, we must first know who has what bargaining chips and what position we are in.

"If a kitten tried to gain an advantage in a fight between a lion and a tiger, it would probably be bitten to death.—"

Fury picked up the orange cat that was about to scurry to the driver's seat and petted it. He had a question in his mind that he hadn't asked out loud: why did this cat get so close to Fuss?

"—Of course, I'm not so foolish as to think that Earth can challenge aliens with space flight technology. But war is just one of the languages ​​of politics, and the weak also have roles to play. We just need to find the right entry point."

Even if Fury didn't mention it, he still remembered the infinite formula used by his white father, and what the most important ingredient was. It was the 'Kree' that didn't exist on Earth.

Of course, he would not decide to stand on the side of the Skrulls and fight against the Kree for such a reason, just to stockpile some "medicinal herbs".

But when two alien races came to Earth to cause trouble, it was impossible for him to ignore it. He had to at least figure out the cause and effect.
