Chapter 295 Encounter
SHIELD Agents Team, in a secret base.
Agent Phil walked in and quickly connected to a certain communication device in the base.
"I'm Melinda May..."
Following a brief noise, Agent Mei's calm reply soon came from the device.
"How's it going, Agent May?"
Hearing the sound, Agent Phil frowned slightly and then asked.
Some time ago, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent team discovered a superpower named Peterson. He revealed his ability during the rescue process. He had a "centipede"-shaped energy supplier on his arm and was using superpowers. Ability to produce dangerously high temperatures. This ability, similar to that of the Extremis virus, immediately attracted the attention of the special agent team.
After several investigations, Agent Phil and the others quickly determined that Peterson's abilities came from a secret organization called Centipede. Almost all members of this organization were injected with a special drug to gain abilities, and they were also placed on their arms. A metal centipede was used as a stabilizer.
Even through contact with these Centipede Warriors, the agent team has basically determined that the abilities possessed by these Centipede Warriors come from the Extremis Virus that appeared during the previous battle between the Avengers and Killian. The Centipede Organization passed the In the research of Extremis virus, a stabilizer similar to a metal centipede was developed to offset the side effects of the original Extremis virus self-explosion due to excessive heat, and transform the effect of the explosion from previously uncontrollable to controllable.
"After investigation, I have confirmed the clues about the experimental location of the Centipede organization..."
Hidden in the shadows, Agent Mei's eyes vaguely swept over the building in front of him, and he still made a report in a calm tone.
"And, I can confirm that there must be a connection that we don't know about between the spider organization and the centipede organization that appeared before."
The Spider Organization is a criminal organization that appeared recently and is active in New York and the West Coast. Most of its members are accustomed to wrapping themselves in dense protective clothing without revealing anything.
The abilities displayed are even more varied. Known abilities include superhuman jumping ability, strength, protective ability, and the ability to spray corrosive venom.
Moreover, the members of this organization are extremely cruel and bloodthirsty. Members of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents Team have been injured more than once in battles with the Spider Team.
Even Agent Mei was almost killed by the spider organization's attack.
However, it was precisely because of such intensive confrontation that the special agent team noticed something unusual about the spider organization.
"In fact, I have used the authority to request internal information about the previous battle between the Avengers and [Holy Lord] within SHIELD. It was mentioned in the report that during the battle with the Avengers members, the Extremis virus Killian, the maker of the drug, was once injected with a potion from [Holy Lord] in front of an Avenger, and under the effect of the potion, he mutated into a half-human, half-spider monster..."
Recalling what he had seen in S.H.I.E.L.D. from the battle video captured by Tony's steel armor, Agent Phil considered and made an inference: "The ability it shows after mutation is to bounce like a spider. , strength and corrosive venom.”
"You mean that the abilities of the members of the Spider Organization come from Killian's abilities during the battle with the Avengers?"
As an experienced agent, Agent May quickly drew conclusions from Agent Phil's guess.
"More than that, you should know, May, whether it's the Extremis virus or the spider-like abilities that Killian gained after mutating, SHIELD was responsible for cleaning them up."
Although Agent Phil didn't speak clearly, Agent Mei already understood the meaning of the other person's words.
The significance of the viruses cleaned up by S.H.I.E.L.D. wandering outside and becoming the ability of criminal organizations to carry out destruction is self-evident.
However, Agent Phil and Agent May both guessed that there might be spies-like existence within SHIELD.
Betray S.H.I.E.L.D. and steal this loot.
But they would never have expected that SHIELD has actually been infiltrated by Hydra for a long time. The spies they guessed were not just one or two, but countless.
Even, in a sense, they, SHIELD agents, are the truly interesting minority.
"It looks like the situation is a little worse than we thought."
Not knowing the fact that SHIELD had been penetrated, Agent May made a judgment based on the information given by Agent Phil.
At the same time, the expression on his face couldn't help but become a little more solemn.
"At least, it has not reached the worst point yet. I have told the director about it, and he has started to launch a self-cleaning operation within SHIELD. I believe that the spies who infiltrated SHIELD will be found soon."
In this regard, Agent Phil showed some reassurance.
"hope so."
After hearing Agent Phil's reply, Agent May lowered his head and whispered to himself.
She raised her head and glanced at the building in front of her, and her eyes inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure flashing past the corner of her eyes.
"That is?"
Seeing the figure flashing past, Agent Mei's face revealed an expression of disbelief and astonishment.
"Peggy..."
He murmured subconsciously.
Agent May's expression was blank.
This fleeting figure reminded Agent Mei of the female officer who bravely caught him after falling from the bar, and the mentor who kindly praised her English speaking skills in Chinese - Peggy. ·Agent Carter.
However, that was already twenty or even thirty years ago.
Today's Agent Carter is no longer the dashing super agent he once was. Even when Agent May visited Peggy Carter at her residence, she saw her weak and haggard appearance, which was the same as what she had seen when she was young. Yes, very different.
"A vampire?!"
The doubts in his mind flashed through his mind, and soon Agent Mei thought of the key clues that the special agent team had investigated before about Carter's disappearance.
Contacting SHIELD's internal introduction to vampires, Agent May's originally calm expression suddenly fluctuated: "If it is the power of vampires, then what does Peggy's appearance represent?"
Agent May could no longer maintain her composure at the thought of the possibility of Peggy Carter turning into a vampire.
For Agent May, Peggy Carter is not only her mission target, but also her teacher and benefactor.
She couldn't imagine that one day she and her mentor would meet again in such an appearance, or even go against each other.
"..."
His eyes turned to the direction where the figure disappeared, and he was silent for a few seconds. Finally, Agent Mei gritted his teeth and reached out to turn off the communication device on his ear.
Then he turned around and rushed over.
"Agent May, Agent May!"
In the SHIELD agent team's base, Agent Phil looked at the device that suddenly disconnected, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.
After shouting a few words, Agent Phil frowned tightly as he looked at the device that still had no response.
At this moment, an uneasy premonition quickly began to spread in his heart.
…
The figure moved faster than Agent Mei expected.
Seeing the figure moving rapidly in front of him, Agent Mei tried hard to maintain his breathing and hung on behind the figure with all his strength.
However, his increasingly rapid breathing showed that Agent Mei's situation was not optimistic at the moment.
After all, she was no longer young. Even though she was still strong as an agent, her physical limitations made her gradually reach her limit after a period of tracking.
Fortunately, Agent May was approaching his limit.
The figure in front of him stopped in his tracks.
"Huh~"
He took a deep breath, adjusted his rapid breathing, and stabilized his emotions, but his eyes were firmly placed on the back of the suspected young Peggy Carter not far away.
She hid her body in the shadows around the corner and only observed the scene in the distance through the corner of her eyes.
In the distance, the figure stopped and waited silently for a while.
Then, he saw a tightly wrapped figure walking out of a hidden corner.
"Spider Organization?!"
Seeing this figure, Agent Mei's eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression on his face became a little more solemn.
After many encounters, Agent Mei easily recognized the appearing figure as a member of the Spider Organization.
Noticing the appearance of the members of the Spider Organization, the silhouette that had maintained a silent posture also turned its body slightly, revealing its face that had been facing away from Agent Mei.
"Peggy Carter."
Looking at the face in front of him that was exactly the same as Peggy Carter in his childhood memories, but younger, the expression on Agent May's face suddenly became extremely complicated.
The young face of Peggy Carter before her eyes basically revealed the fact that her mentor, the great agent Peggy Carter, whom she admired and admired, had turned into a vampire.
"But, what is the relationship between the Spider Organization and Peggy Carter?"
Reluctantly suppressing the complicated look on his face, Agent Mei looked at Peggy Carter who was in contact with the spider organization not far away, but felt a little doubtful in her heart.
Before Agent May's inner doubts could be answered, she saw that after a brief exchange, Peggy Carter took out a strange mask from her body and handed it to the spider organization with an expressionless face. Under the dim moonlight, Agent Mei could only vaguely see the pale and strange face on the mask.
"This is?"
…
"You're really careless. You were secretly followed for so long without being noticed."
[From the legend of Melinda May...]
"What?!"
Just when Agent May focused his attention on Peggy Carter, who was not far away and was in contact with the spider organization, his expression was solemn.
A strange yet magnetic voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
The moment he heard this voice, the expression on Agent Mei's face changed, and he instinctively wanted to turn his body.
However, a palm with sharp nails appeared on his neck at some point. The sharpness coming from the fingertips made Agent Mei stop his turning body abruptly.
She had a hunch that if she continued to move, the other person's sharp nails might scratch her neck in the next second.
"The right decision."
Looking at Agent Mei who remained motionless in front of him, the owner of the voice let out a sigh of admiration.
Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his body, revealing a pale face that was so beautiful that it seemed inhuman.
"Although, I'm looking forward to you continuing to turn around."
Showing his sharp teeth towards Agent Mei, Dio grinned with an expression that was half a smile, tilted his body slightly to get closer to Agent Mei's face, and whispered in her ear softly and harshly: "Because of this, I There will be a suitable reason to kill you, haha..."
While laughing, Dio put his palm on Agent May's neck a little harder, and his sharp nails easily pierced the skin on Agent May's neck, and instantly bright red blood left her neck.
With a greedy look on his face, Dio lowered his head and licked the blood on Agent Mei's neck, and continued: "I like the taste of your blood. Your blood reminds me of a person."
"You were the one who turned Peggy Carter into a vampire?"
Ignoring the dangerous aura created by Dio, Agent May looked at Peggy Carter not far away expressionlessly and asked coldly.
"In fact, I prefer to call this a new life."
Facing Agent May's question, Dio stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on his lips, grinning and said: "I gave Peggy Carter a new life, letting her lose the old and ugly body of the past and become a Beyond human existence.”
"Existences beyond humans? You mean vampires?"
"certainly."
"Tell me, is it Peggy Carter who asked you to transform her into a vampire, or..."
Ignoring the wounds on his neck that were bleeding continuously, Agent Mei turned to look at Dio opposite him, looked into his evil and demonic eyes, and asked word for word.
"..."
Facing Agent May's firm and calm eyes, Dio raised the corners of his mouth and replied with a devilish and evil smile: "Of course she begged me to become a vampire. Didn't you see Peggy Carter kneel down at that time? His appearance, once a heroic super agent, has turned into such an ugly appearance in the face of time."
"Why, is she your idol? That's really regrettable."
[From the legend of Melinda May...]
"No, that's not right!"
After hearing Dio's harsh description, Agent Mei's heart was shaken for a moment, as if the idol he had always admired in his heart had fallen.
However, Agent Mei quickly reacted. She looked at Dior in front of her, looking at the evil smile on his handsome face, and realized: "You are lying, the truth is definitely not what you said. so."
