Comparing it with the procession I remembered seeing at the funeral, the old lady leading it was missing, and there weren't as many people.

However, Katie, who had always been able to maintain a good temper, unexpectedly showed hostility when this group of people approached.

It doesn't bark its teeth, bark wildly, or crouch down, ready to pounce, like a dog.

A tiger displays hostility by holding its head high, staring directly at its prey, and growling. Like a king looking down upon his subjects, it displays the majesty of a apex predator. If it crouches and lowers its head, it's a prelude to attack.

The target of Katie's gaze was the guy who didn't feel the autumn chill and was still wearing scanty clothes, revealing his chest hair and muscles.

The man threatened by Katie didn't flinch at all. He locked eyes with the tiger, his mouth clenched, and he let out a dull roar, a tit-for-tat tone.

If this were a group of ordinary people, they would probably yell at Henry to hold on to his pet.

But the group that arrived didn't take Katie seriously at all. Even the two leading them looked even older than when they met four years ago.

Henry remembered that the man he had met four years ago, though he had aged, was still energetic. Now, although his eyes were still sharp, his physical condition was not as good as before.

The one-eyed white man didn't come forward. Instead, an old Irishman with a bole hat and a beautiful curled mustache came forward, extended his hand, and greeted, "Timothy Dugan. The Howling Commandos."

Wow, what a bunch of people! And this Timothy Dugan is Dumdum Dugan, a veteran who survived World War II by using SSS medication to slow down aging.

The Howling Commandos weren't exactly a secret organization; they made a name for themselves during World War II alongside Captain America. Most people didn't know they didn't disband after the war.

Henry stepped forward to return the greeting, shook hands and said, "Henry Brown. A nobody."

"Ha, a nobody can't get Tony to find us." Howard Stark, as a logistics support officer, was certainly no stranger to the Howling Commandos. That's why Dumdum Dugan dared to brazenly act like his uncle.

Even as he chatted and greeted, Dumdum Dugan was observing the scene with sharp eyes, quickly assessing the situation.

The Skrull, who was disguised as a SHIELD agent and was pointed at by Barbara with a gun, complained loudly, "Sir, sir, I am a level three agent of SHIELD.

"They are both wanted terrorists by the West Coast Los Angeles branch. Director Kohler has already issued an order to kill them immediately. Please don't mind me, just shoot them immediately!"

Dumdum Dugan, of course, didn't believe the guy's nonsense. Instead, he walked over, grasped his chin, and examined him carefully. "This is an alien, it doesn't look like one." He rubbed the blood on his arm between his fingertips.

Such performance truly made the captured Skrull pretender feel despair.

"The one who died in the passenger seat was what they originally looked like," Henry said.

At this point, everyone's attention shifted to the passenger seat of the car. Because of the angle and the blocked windows, no one could see clearly.

Dumdum Dugan opened the car door and pulled the alien out slightly to take a look. "Oh, this is really ugly."

Then he fumbled around, fiddling with the dead Skrull's face, and said, "Is this real?"

This guy was even bold enough to touch the Skrull's forehead with his finger, next to the hole made by Henry's pistol, and put the liquid that looked like Skrull's blood or body fluid into his mouth to taste it!

Seeing this, Henry could only say that he was indeed a veteran of World War II, having rolled out from a pile of corpses.

As expected, Dumdum Dugan spat a few mouthfuls of food to the side when he found the taste unpalatable.

"Is it delicious?" Henry asked unconsciously.

Dumdum Dugan, on the other hand, looked at the young man who was asking the question with a look of astonishment, which made Henry laugh foolishly a few times and then pass over the matter without saying anything more.

As if to improve the taste in his mouth, Dumdum Dugan cut a cigar and smoked it on the spot. He pointed at the black suit controlled by Barbara and asked, "How do you prove that this guy is the same kind as the one inside? I don't look like one."

"Do you have a knife? I have an idea I want to test."

Reaching back, Dumdan Dugan pulled out a Rambo knife. He grinned and said proudly, "Although this thing was invented in the movies, it's really useful. Remember to return it to me." Then he stuffed it into Henry's hands.

Weighing the real thing in his hand and seeing the mysterious color halo on part of the blade, Henry knew that this knife was not an ornament, but a sharpened thing.

Henry came before the Skrull pretender who was still trying to throw dirty water on him. He ignored the other's exclamation and grabbed his hand, pressing it on the hood.

Then he raised his knife and cut off one of his fingers. The horrific cry of pain almost shook Barbara's mind.

The girl had already determined from the previous words that it was a Skrull, so she didn't move. And Dumdum Dugan's accomplices were all hardened people, so the Skrull's screams had no effect.

The severed finger was presented to everyone. No explanation was needed, and it didn't take long for the finger to begin to transform. The disguise faded, returning to its original form.

Henry said, "It seems to be just as I thought. As soon as a part of the limbs is separated from the body, it will lose control and return to its original state as if it were dead."

Even without observing the process of transformation, no one would think that the green finger with pointed nails belonged to a human.

"What if you're wrong?" Dumdum Dugan asked.

"Then find another way to prove it." Henry said with a carefree smile.

Chapter 370 Retreat

Mutants might have such abilities, but the thing about mutants is that it's hard to find two alike, and even those with similar abilities are rare.

Since the person in front of him can transform, and there is a dead person with a similar appearance sitting in the car, there is a high chance that they are not mutants but aliens.

After a series of confirmations, the leader, the one-eyed old white, stopped being silent and said to everyone:

"Vince, get the guy in the car onto the helicopter. Agents, put down your weapons and hand this guy over to us. Then you get on the helicopter and come with us."

The muscular man wearing only a vest, Wolf Warrior Vince Marcus, lifted the dead Skrull from the passenger seat with one hand, put it on his shoulder, and walked towards the helicopter.

Dumdum Dugan took back the Rambo knife he had lent to Henry, and without any other weapons, he led the Skrulls controlled by Barbara back and also wanted to get on the helicopter.

Barbara lowered her gun, but she didn't let her guard down. Instead, she and Dumdum Dugan watched the Skrull who was still trying to frame her get on the helicopter.

There was no other way. The Howling Commandos were too famous. Barbara didn't question their loyalty to the US government, so she just followed their orders.

And according to internal intelligence, the Howling Commandos are also a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., but Barbara has never seen them. She used to think it was because her authority was too low, and she never thought that there were actually two S.H.I.E.L.D.

But when it was Henry's turn, although he accompanied everyone to the helicopter, when they got close enough, Katie could no longer walk.

The loud noise of the helicopter engine made the tiger hesitate.

Henry saw this and said, "It seems my pet is not going to be able to enjoy this flight."

The others walked straight past Henry and boarded the helicopter. However, Old White, like Barbara, stopped and looked back at the man and the tiger.

Henry waved his hand and pointed at the car behind him with his thumb. "Are you going to take this car back right away? Lend it to me for now. Anyway, you should be able to take it back no matter where it goes."

Seeing this, Barbara wanted to turn back to Henry. "Henry, I'll go with you..."

But the man with the tiger stopped her and said, "Bobby, you have your responsibilities, and so do I. You have to report the aliens, and I have to take care of Katie.

"I can't just let Katie wander around just to keep up with you. And don't forget, if anything goes wrong with Fury, his only support is on you. That's your most important task."

The girl made an aggrieved expression and said, "Okay."

The one-eyed Lao Bai said, "It's up to you," and left without looking back.

The nature of their team was not suitable for too much contact with civilians, even if the other party was not an ordinary person, but someone with special abilities.

But who isn't in this team? The other side doesn't care much.

The Howling Commandos were dispatched to target the aliens. The aliens knew that by contacting them through Tony Stark, they didn't have to worry about the aliens leaking information that shouldn't be leaked.

At their level, there's no need to bother with a confidentiality agreement. Anyone who leaks secrets will be silenced, and anyone suspected of leaking secrets will also be silenced. This is a tacit understanding among everyone.

Signing or not signing that scrap of paper won't change anything. The mute dead are the true guarantor of confidentiality.

Besides, old Nick Fury didn't really want to bring this guy back to the Howling Commandos' secret base, let alone send him and the tiger back to the West Coast later.

If the other party wants to leave on his own, there is no reason to stop him.

However, these ideas were overturned after they returned to the base and interrogated the living Skrull. Everyone regretted not trying to bring Henry Brown back.

No one expected that this man was not a mutant with X gene as reported. He was also an alien, a Kryptonian from Krypton.

But according to trainee agent Barbara Morse, even Henry Brown himself didn't know about this. As a Kryptonian, he had to ask the Skrulls for answers about Krypton.

The Skrulls being interrogated tried their best to get the planet's indigenous official organizations to shift their focus to the Kryptonian instead of focusing on their actions.

So when it comes to the problems on Krypton, he not only tells everything he knows, but also tries his best to discredit that Kryptonian.

Anyway, Krypton's reputation in the universe is not very good, so there is no psychological burden to blacken it. Even though those things happened nine thousand years ago.

In a secure line call, Nick Fury Sr. reported the incident to Peggy Carter.

With such a status, it was hard for them not to notice. But based on Agent Moore's testimony, perhaps they were not aware of this at all.

Peggy Carter asked on the phone, "I remember Henry Brown's intelligence only going back to Alaska in the 90s?"

"Yes. The crab boat experience was his first public record."

Peggy Carter made a quick decision. "Send someone to investigate further. Expand the scope to the Yukon Territory and Siberia. But don't be too obvious, since it's related to Tony's kid."

"He's finally managed to make himself less conspicuous and remove himself from certain people's sight. He shouldn't let anything that might implicate him be exposed to others' eyes. So the personnel sent out must be carefully selected."

Old Nick Fury said, "I understand, but I will personally handle the Siberian situation. Alexi and Melina came to America, and I didn't treat them well and let them leave. As a good friend, I should go and say hello."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before someone said, "Do what you can, old man. We all know you don't have much time left. You're not like me, barely languishing in a hospital bed."

"Don't worry. I know I'm no longer in the era where I can fight my way in and out alone with just a machine gun. Even though the Red Empire is gone now, those old guys are still here."

"Have you figured out what to do?"

Old Nick Fury said confidently, "That idiot Alexei doesn't think that Russia still needs a Red Guardian.

"The same goes for the Iron Lady. If the intelligence they stole is proven wrong, how much credibility do you think they will have in the new government?

"While contacting those people, I can also search for intelligence on aliens related to Siberia to confuse people and make them unsure of my main purpose."

"This plan is feasible. I will mobilize the available resources in the north for your use. Be careful." Peggy Carter said on the phone.

Chapter 371 The FBI takes advantage of the situation

After being told to drive away, Henry of course drove away with Katie obediently.

The Howling Commandos were flying northeast, perhaps that was where their secret base lay. Henry turned back and headed south. He drove to the outskirts of the nearest city, Monroe, and then abandoned the car and left.

Although the alien corpse in the car was taken away, the alien bloodstains and bullet holes on the windshield were not dealt with. Driving such a car into the city was quite conspicuous.

The conscientious police officers kept an eye on this strange car with abnormal signs in a matter of minutes.

Don't say that American police don't like to meddle in other people's business. That's only true for police in big cities. Police in small places meddle in everything, even the locals and the beach. They're just like urban management officers with law enforcement powers and guns.

And Henry certainly didn't really want to drive back to the West Coast. Even if he drove without stopping, it would take several days to get back to Los Angeles.

Although he didn't have to punch a clock at Stark Films, this was not the journey he wanted.

Since he had no interest in a road trip, Henry abandoned the car in the suburbs of Monroe and flew back to the West Coast with Katie in his hand!

As a frequent Kryptonian flight commuter between the city and the Sheep Hollow Valley Laboratory, Katie was no longer the type to piss herself on a roller coaster. While this ride was longer than the previous one, it was still a blink of an eye.

Henry didn't take Katie back to their rental house in Los Angeles all at once. Instead, he went to the wilderness of the Sheep Hollow Valley Laboratory, grabbed a wild deer, broke its neck, and made it Katie's dinner. Then, Henry returned to downtown Los Angeles alone.

Fortunately, he didn't bring Katie back directly. Just as he worried, his house was invaded by a group of FBI agents who were collecting evidence, and there were even technicians checking his computer.

Although I don't know when they started the operation, but it was already evening and a large group of people were still working overtime.

The Stark i486 mainframe, which was portable, had already been moved. Some removable materials, such as CDs and videotapes, were no longer in the room, but had been packed and moved to the FBI's car.

The speakers and speakers were not spared. Not only were the machines dismantled, but even the silver wires that he had laid were pulled out and tangled.

After their rough treatment, I'm afraid the cables have been damaged, and even if they are put back together, the sound quality will be lost. You know how picky Kryptonians are...

As for the computer he had built, the technicians did not dare to disassemble or move it without permission because it was different from the commercially available ones in terms of operating system and hardware.

They were turning on the computer and checking the contents, though they didn't know if they could come up with anything useful by tinkering around.

Although my own operating system is based on Linux, it is not the common Red Hat or SUSE, and the instructions are used differently.

Even though an expert could master it with some time, not everyone could do it. This was because Henry's own system had no documentation or help instructions.

Even to make a distinction, the command names are different from the common habits and form their own system.

BB, the core cleaning robot, had its charging station taken away along with it. Even Katie's metal feeding bowl was removed by the FBI.

If Katie came back and saw this, she would definitely pounce on the person who stole her job.

Judging from the appearance of this house raid, it seems that the FBI has been waiting for a long time. Henry did not doubt the identities of these people, because their ID cards were hung on their chests and they were wearing exclusive FBI jackets. It was unlikely that S.H.I.E.L.D. was impersonating them.

The cameras and projectors used to assist Charlize Theron had long been dismantled and moved away, which made Henry wonder if there was another film company behind the scenes.

Although only Sony has taken targeted action on the digital imaging technology developed by Stark Films, which he led, Henry believes that other film companies will not remain indifferent when they have the opportunity.

Although the "FBI" that issued the kill order against Henry was actually a front for S.H.I.E.L.D., the real FBI went along with it, so that if things got exposed later, they would have someone to take the blame.

Now that the opportunity has been given to them, there is no reason not to take action!

So thank you to those green bastards, the damn Skrulls.

Of course, Charlize Theron, who lived in the same building, noticed that her house had been emptied by the FBI.

Perhaps because she had just finished a busy day, her agent JJ ​​Harris was also present. However, Charlize ignored her agent's advice and protested the FBI's actions with Gary Sr.
