Chapter 1536: The Sun Chaser (Part 14)

In the S. H. I. E. L. D. office, Nick sat behind the desk looking at the report sent by Seeing Natasha. On it was a series of names, many of which had been crossed out with a red pen. Nick browsed through it carefully, looked up, and said, "Eighty percent of the targets have been resolved, right?"

"Yes, the combination of symbiotes and agents has achieved initial success. Now, seventy percent of the agents in our field department have been equipped with symbiotes. Sintar cooperates very well with them, which greatly enhances the basic physical fitness of the agents. Coupled with the portal, every field agent is an assassin who comes and goes without a trace."

"And the remaining twenty percent of the targets are still under surveillance. Once the timing is ripe, the agents will take action. Although many people are now paying attention to the bizarre deaths, most people think it was done by a mysterious serial killer. However, some smart people have noticed the commonalities among the victims. How do you plan to divert attention?"

Nick behind the desk smiled and said, "No need to divert attention. We only do what we should do. Soon they will find that death is not the most worthy thing to pay attention to."

The sensor lights in the corridor turned on one by one, and the urgent and complicated footsteps spread 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 filled the conference table.

Soon Nick walked in, reached out and knocked on the table. Everyone looked up at him. Nick looked around and said, "Alright, I think everyone knows that we are here today to discuss the reorganization of the New York superhero team. Does anyone have any good ideas?"

"Why don't we just bring all the superhero teams under S. H. I. E. L. D.?" One of the ladies raised her hand and said, "Now S. H. I. E. L. D. has turned into a semi-public organization. Even ordinary people know who we are. Since that's the case, we have enough authority to reorganize the superheroes."

"The benefits of doing this are obvious. We can assign teams to superheroes according to the characteristics of their abilities and unify the management of logistics, which can greatly improve efficiency."

But an older male agent opposite her shook his head and said, "No way. If you want to learn from the Chinese way, you also have to look at the government's credibility. If we send agents to knock on their doors now, they will only think we want to assassinate them. If we say we want to reorganize them, they will only think we want to take them for human experiments."

"Older superheroes and the new generation have never gotten along, but they only have a common topic on one point, and that is scolding the military after scolding Congress. S. H. I. E. L. D. doesn't need to stand out and offend people, becoming their target."

The heads of other departments nodded one after another. Nick cleared his throat and said, "That's indeed the case. We don't have the ability or the need to forcibly reorganize them now. Not to mention anything else, what's the use of getting a group of street heroes back? Can they do things like agents, pointing where to go and listening to orders? If not, then why not use agents?"

At this time, Marc Spector, who originally came from the CIA, raised his hand and said, "Then establish an informant hiring system?"

"Talk about it in detail." Nick knocked on the table again and said.

"Actually, the CIA has a unique informant hiring system globally." Marc recalled and said, "Field agents will make friends with local residents when they go to various parts of the world to perform missions, and screen targets who may become informants."

"After registering the other party into the informant system, once certain events that need intervention appear in the area, resident agents will immediately contact local residents who may become informants, and develop them into informants on the spot, letting them participate in this event, and thereby spread our influence."

"The benefit of this system is that although the informant target is marked, there is no need to provide logistics for them when no events occur. And once something happens, these screened people have a great possibility of leaning toward us. We only need to provide them with one-time supplies to exchange for good results."

"Sounds a bit like mercenaries." Nick raised an eyebrow and said.

"Almost." Marc nodded and continued, "It can be considered as mercenaries in the intelligence world. Because the investment is not much, they can be discarded at any time. It doesn't matter if they are discovered. They are locals and don't know any important intelligence on our side."

"And the benefit of this system is that we can infiltrate endlessly. Choosing one hundred targets will always have one that can be used. But the other party cannot check them one by one. It is especially easy to use in countries where basic education is lacking, the public lacks patriotism, and there is no basic judgment."

"Are we really going to use this kind of spy infiltration means against superheroes?" One of the agents questioned.

"Don't say it so ugly." Nick shrugged and said, "We can change an explanation method. We recruit security personnel who are willing to help the solar system development plan among the superhero teams. In order to repay their help, we can also provide them with the supplies they urgently need. I think not every superhero is as rich as Tony Stark, right?"

One of the ladies with a financial work badge pushed her glasses and said, "But isn't this more expensive than us providing logistics support to the superhero team? Our original intention is to reduce expenditure while improving efficiency. If we can't take care of both, at least we must reduce expenditure. S. H. I. E. L. D.'s financial situation is not optimistic."

"What we give them may not be money." Nick crossed his arms, leaned back, and stood in front of the table and said, "What version has the Spider-APP updated to now?"

A programmer in a plaid shirt sitting at the end of the long table finally moved his eyes away from the coffee, rubbed his hands and said, "It's 1.0.8 now, and it has undergone eight version updates."

"Then how is the income and expenditure situation?" Nick looked at the finance person sitting at the table again. The finance person flipped out a large report from the bottom of the data, took a look, nodded and said, "The financial report is much better than the field department. Spider-Men rarely open their mouths like lions, and often do a bunch of work, only exchanging for some things that are not very valuable to us."

"Then we can also manage the superhero team like this. Release an official hiring APP. Any superhero can register on it, accept hiring missions, and earn points to redeem rewards."

Nick smiled and said, "I see it now. For these young people now, if you come up with a 'Superhero Registration Act' or hold an investigation form and press their heads to fill it out, they will definitely rebel. But if you say there is a game that needs all their ability data, they will fill it all out without blinking."

The people in front of the conference table all laughed. A young black agent sitting in the center of the long table spread his hands and said, "You let me go to work to make money, I just want to lie in bed and sleep. If you let me play two more games in the game event to earn points to exchange for those cool skins, I get up earlier than anyone else."

"Then let's decide it like this." Nick nodded and looked at the members of the program department and said, "You guys work hard these few days to make a big framework. We will try running it within the familiar superhero team first."

The programmer brother pushed his glasses and said, "This is not difficult. We already have the construction experience of Spider-APP and Octopus-APP. The framework can be completely copied over. But New York is so safe now, where can we find missions to release to them?"

The female head of the field department touched her chin and said, "If it doesn't work, find them some trivial things to do, like running errands or something. Aren't there plenty of such jobs?"

"No." Seeing Natasha shook her head and rejected this proposal. She said, "The mission process for the first time must be formal enough, because this is setting the rules, and at the same time letting them see the official's serious attitude toward this matter, so that they will take the subsequent hiring missions seriously."

"If you really make the kind of errand-running and letter-delivering missions in the game, then I guess after the initial freshness passes, they will definitely feel annoyed, feel that they are treated as nobodies, and then completely abandon it."

"That's right." Nick nodded, agreeing with Seeing Natasha's view, and then he said, "The first batch of missions must have standardized processes and moderate difficulty, especially not too simple. They must understand that this is likely to bleed and get injured. This is a security hiring mission, not a house-playing game."

"This can also persuade a group of people who just follow the trend to play superheroes but have no ability and no determination to quit, reducing their casualties."

"In this way, the first batch of missions must be confrontational missions?" The female head of the field department tapped her forehead with a pen and said, "But where can we find enemies for them? And even if we find enemies, they may not be able to realize how dangerous the enemy is through the mission introduction."

"The enemy is best to look very fierce from the appearance." Marc stretched out his hand and said, "The kind that can scare children to cry is the best. Every CIA agent has heard from their predecessors that the first mission we have to perform is to defeat an alien with eight hands and hypnotic waves. It sounds a bit ridiculous, but this can indeed see who is more timid."

Nick nodded and fell into thought, seemingly searching for enemies that met the conditions in his mind. But as the time for thinking grew longer, Nick's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

After a while, he sighed, smiled helplessly, and said, "You don't say, Earth is really quite safe, but this can't blame me, it has to blame our psychological consultant... By the way, has there been any news from Shiler recently?"

The people sitting below looked at each other and shook their heads one after another. Nick looked up at the date on the clock, and then whispered, "Shiler has disappeared for too long, I'm afraid the plan he prepared this time is unimaginably big..."

"Beep beep beep——!

"

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

"Hello, what's wrong? Grant, why do you want to activate the emergency communication?"

Hearing the voice of Grant Ward coming from the communicator, Seeing Natasha stood up with a "zeng" and opened her eyes wide and said.

"What did you say?! Reed Richards sent a level one warning through the laboratory's security monitoring platform, and the warning content is the invasion of the anti-matter universe Zerg?!"

"Reed Richards wants to have a face-to-face talk with Nick Fury. Director, do you want to connect his communication?" Seeing Natasha turned to look at Nick and asked.

Nick nodded. After Seeing Natasha hung up the communication, she walked quickly to the projector equipment at the front. The huge half-length projection of Reed Richards soon appeared in the center of the conference room.

Nick saw that Dr. Otto and Dr. Banner were also standing behind Reed. Reed's face was quite serious and said.

"In the process of observing the anti-matter universe, I discovered a super creature called the Annihilator. He united with a real entity called the Ravenous to open a channel from the anti-matter universe to the positive matter universe. At this moment, hundreds of millions of terrifying bugs are invading our universe."

"And according to the images sent back by the observer robots Stark left in cosmic space, the three major empires have not yet been able to gather resistance forces. The terrifying bug tide is like a terrible annihilation wave, destroying hundreds of surrounding dimensions within a few minutes of descending."

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

"You wait a minute." Nick stretched out a hand to stop what Reed was about to say next. Reed thought Nick was going to ask how he knew. He just wanted to explain, but Nick asked.

"What did you just say the existence that the super creature called the Annihilator united with is called?"

"Ravenous."

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

"Shiler's big plan is coming, get ready to work." ===== CHAPTER 1537 =====
