Chapter 1552: The Sun Chaser (Thirteen)

In the SHIELD office, Nick sat behind the desk and looked at the report Natasha sent over. There was a series of names on it, many of which had been crossed out with a red pen. Nick looked through it carefully, raised his head and said : "Eighty percent of the goals have been solved, right?"

"Yes, the combination of the symbiote and the agents has initially achieved results. Now 70% of the agents in our field department have been equipped with the symbiote. Shentar cooperates very well with them, which has greatly strengthened the foundation of the agents. With physical fitness and the portal, every field agent is an assassin who comes and goes without a trace."

"The remaining 20% ​​of the targets are still under surveillance. Once the time is right, the agents will take action. Although many people are paying attention to the bizarre deaths, most people think that it is a mysterious serial killer. Yes, but there are still some smart people who have noticed the similarities between the victims, how do you plan to divert attention?"

Nick behind the table smiled and said: "No need to divert your attention, we just do what we should do, and soon they will find that death is not the most important thing to pay attention to."

The sensor lights in the corridor lit up one by one, and hurried footsteps came all the way from the stairs to the spacious and bright conference room. The heads of various departments of S.H.I.E.L.D. and important agents were all seated around the conference table.

Soon Nick walked in, stretched out his hand and knocked on the table. Everyone looked up at him. Nick looked around and said: "Okay, I think everyone knows that we are here to discuss the reform of the New York superhero team today. Who Any good ideas?"

"Why don't we just bring all the superhero teams under SHIELD?" One of the women raised her hands and said, "Now SHIELD has turned into a semi-public organization, and even ordinary people know who we are. , in this case, we have enough authority to recruit superheroes.”

"The benefits of this are obvious. We can assign teams to superheroes based on their abilities and manage logistics in a unified manner, which can greatly improve efficiency."

But an older male agent opposite him shook his head and said: "No chance. If you want to learn what China does, you have to look at the credibility of the government. If we send agents to knock on their doors now, they will just They think we want to assassinate them, and if we say we want to recruit them, they will only think that we want to use them for human experiments.”

"Older superheroes and the new generation have never dealt with each other, but they only have one thing in common, that is, after scolding them, they will scold the military. There is no need for SHIELD to stand up and offend others and be their target."

The other department heads nodded. Nick cleared his throat and said, "That's true. We don't have the ability or need to forcefully recruit them now. If nothing else, what's the use of bringing back a group of street heroes? They Can you follow orders like an agent? If not, why not use an agent?"

At this time, Moon Knight Mark, who was originally from the CIA, raised his hand and said: "What about establishing an informant employment system?"

"Tell me more about it," Nick said, knocking on the table again.

"Actually, the CIA has a unique informant hiring system around the world." Mark recalled it and said: "When field agents go to various parts of the world to perform tasks, they will make friends with local residents and screen out potential informants. Object."

"After registering the other party into the informant system, once there are certain incidents in the area that require intervention, a resident operator will immediately contact the local residents who may become informants and develop them into informants on the spot to allow them to participate to this event and use it to spread our influence.”

"The advantage of this system is that although the targets of informants have been identified, there is no need to provide logistics for them when there is no incident. Once an incident occurs, these screened people are very likely to turn to us. We only need to provide them with one-time supplies and we can get good results.”

"Sounds a bit like a mercenary." Nick said with a raised eyebrow.

"Absolutely." Mark nodded and continued: "They can be regarded as mercenaries of the intelligence community. Because they don't invest much, they can be abandoned at any time. It doesn't matter if they are discovered. They are locals and don't know anything about us. Important information."

"And the advantage of this system is that we can penetrate endlessly and select one hundred targets, and there will always be one that can be used, but it is impossible for the other party to check them one by one. In that kind of situation where basic education is lacking and the people lack patriotism, It’s especially useful in countries that don’t have basic judgment.”

"Do we really want to use this kind of espionage infiltration method against superheroes?" one of the agents questioned.

"Don't say it so harshly." Nick shrugged and said, "We can explain it another way. We recruit security personnel in the superhero team who are willing to help the solar system development plan. In order to repay their help, we You can also provide them with the supplies they desperately need. I guess not every superhero is as rich as Tony Stark?"

One of the ladies with a financial badge on her chest pushed up her glasses and said, "But isn't this more expensive than providing logistical support to a superhero team? Our original intention is to reduce expenses while improving efficiency. If we can't We must at least reduce expenditures, as SHIELD’s financial situation is not optimistic.”

"What we give them may not be money." Nick folded his arms and leaned back, standing in front of the table and said: "What version is the Spider APP updated to now?"

A programmer in a plaid shirt sitting at the end of the long table finally looked away from his coffee, rubbed his hands and said: "It is now 1.0.8, and it has been updated for eight versions."

"So what's the income and expenditure situation?" Nick looked at the financial officer sitting at the table. The financial officer pulled out a large report from the bottom of the file, looked at it and nodded and said, "The financial report is much better than the field department. , Spider-Man rarely opens his mouth, and often does a lot of work and only exchanges for things that are not too valuable to us. "

"Then we can completely manage the superhero team in this way and release an official employment APP. Any superhero can register on it, receive employment tasks, and earn points to redeem rewards."

Nick smiled and said: "I can see it. These young people today, if you come up with a 'Superhero Registration Act' or hold a survey form and press their heads and ask them to fill it out, they will definitely They want to rebel, but if you say there is a game now that requires all their ability information, they filled it all in without blinking an eye. "

Everyone in front of the conference table laughed. A young black agent sitting in the middle of the long table spread his hands and said: "You asked me to go to work and make money. I just want to lie in bed and sleep in. If you let me play more games, Earning points in two games to exchange for those cool skins, I got up earlier than anyone else.”

"Then it's decided." Nick nodded, then looked at the members of the programming department and said, "You have worked hard these days to come up with a general framework. Let's try it out within a familiar superhero team first."

The programmer pushed up his glasses and said, "This is not difficult. We already have experience in building Spider APP and Octopus APP. The framework can be copied. But now that New York is so safe, where can we find tasks for them? release?"

The female person in charge of the field department touched her chin and said, "If it doesn't work out, just find some trivial things for them to do, like running errands or something. There aren't many jobs like this, right?"

"No." Natasha shook her head and rejected the proposal. She said: "The first task process must be formal enough, because it is establishing rules and at the same time letting them see the seriousness of the official attitude towards this matter. This way they will take the next hiring task seriously.”

"If we really create the kind of errand delivery mission in the game, then I guess after the initial novelty wears off, they will definitely get bored and feel like they are being treated as nobody, and then they will completely abandon it."

"That's right." Nick nodded, agreeing with Natasha's view, and then he said: "The first batch of tasks must have standardized procedures and moderate difficulty. In particular, they cannot be too simple. They must understand that there is a possibility of bloodshed. Injured, this is a security hire mission, not a game of house.”

"This can also dissuade a group of people who just follow the trend and play superheroes without having the ability or determination to reduce their casualties."

"So, the first batch of missions must be confrontational missions?" The female person in charge of the field department tapped her forehead with the pen holder and said, "But where are we going to find enemies for them? And even if we find enemies, They may not realize how dangerous the enemy is through the mission introduction.”

"It's best for the enemy to be very vicious in appearance." Mark stretched out his hand and said, "The kind that can scare children into tears is best. Every CIA agent has heard from their seniors that the first mission we are going to perform is Defeating eight aliens with hypnotic light waves may sound ridiculous, but it really shows who’s more timid.”

Nick nodded and fell into thinking, seemingly searching for qualified enemies in his mind. But as he thought longer and longer, Nick's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

After a while, he sighed, gave a helpless smile and said: "Don't tell me yet, the earth is really safe, but you can't blame me, you have to blame our psychological consultant... By the way, Schiller has recently... No news?"

The people sitting below looked at each other and shook their heads. Nick looked up at the date on the clock, and then whispered: "Schiller has been missing for too long. I'm afraid he has prepared a plan this time." It’s so big that it’s unimaginable…”

“Didi-di-!

"

Suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded from the communicator on Natasha's waist. Natasha frowned, picked up the communicator and said.

"Hey, what's going on? Grant, why are you activating emergency communications?"

Hearing Grant Ward's voice coming from the other end of the communicator, Natasha suddenly stood up and said with wide eyes.

"What did you say?! Reed Richards sent a level one warning through the laboratory's security monitoring platform. The warning content was an invasion of the antimatter universe Zerg?!"

"Reed Richards wants to interview Nick Fury. Director, do you want to connect to his communication?" Natasha turned to Nick and asked.

Nick nodded. After Natasha hung up the communication, she quickly walked to the projector equipment at the front and connected the communication device to the projector. Soon, a huge bust of Reed Richards appeared in the meeting. The center of the room.

Nick saw Dr. Otto and Dr. Banner standing behind Reed, and Reed said with a serious expression.

"While I was observing the antimatter universe, I found that one of the super creatures called Annihilator, together with an entity called Ravenous, opened a passage from the antimatter universe to the positive matter universe. At this time, hundreds of millions of terrifying insects are invading our universe."

"According to the images sent back by the observer robot left by Stark in the universe, the three empires have not yet gathered resistance. The terrifying insect tide is like a terrible annihilation wave, which destroyed hundreds of surrounding dimensions within just a few minutes of its arrival."

"If it is not stopped, then today will be the annihilation day of the entire universe..."

"Wait a minute." Nick stretched out a hand to stop Reed from saying what he was going to say next. Reed thought Nick was going to ask him how he knew it. He was about to explain when Nick asked.

"What is the name of the super creature called Annihilator you just said?"

"Ravenous."

Nick didn't even look at Reed, turned around and waved to the people in the conference room.

"Schiller's big plan is here, get ready to work."
