Chapter 904: Red Sea Raging Waves (Part 1)

"God, I really didn't expect that you could come back." Schiller hugged Captain America and said with a sad face: "I thought you died by the hidden guns of your own people, and besides avenging you, I couldn't do anything..."

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Nick again and said very sincerely: "Director, I really didn't expect that at such a critical moment, you could have extra measures to turn the tide. If it weren't for you, I am afraid I would never see them again..."

Nick walked up, patted Schiller on the shoulder and said: "This is the responsibility of the S. H. I. E. L. D. Director. I am different from those who only know how to fire hidden guns. Do you remember what I said? This is humanity's only opportunity to step into the sea of stars, we must seize this opportunity."

"What on earth is going on?!" Iron Man put on his mecha, walked up and raised his voice and said: "Our death couldn't be an accident! Who on earth is behind the scenes leading all this?!"

Nick shook his head and said: "Tony, don't care about these things. Now, we should unite. We can't be distracted by these trifles."

"I must know who is playing tricks! If we can't find them, humanity will have no peace! Even if we can move towards the universe, we will still be held back by others!" Iron Man said very firmly.

"Tony, we should consider the big picture." Captain America walked up, stood between Nick and Iron Man, and said: "No matter who did it, we are resurrected now, aren't we? We should do some real work."

"Yeah, yeah..." Iron Man spread his hands and said: "You are the best at forgiving those who have hurt you and wanted to kill you. You are the greatest Captain America in the world..."

Iron Man looked at Captain America and said: "Do you want to use your moral standards to require me? Just like you required me to forgive that killer?!"

Nick shook his head helplessly and said: "You two stop arguing! That's all in the past. We should focus on the present. You have been away for so long, you should have accumulated a lot of work, go back and handle your private affairs separately..."

But just at this time, Nick's phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and said: "Hello? Hill, what's wrong? What did you say? The largest warehouse in Pennsylvania exploded?!! How could this happen???"

Nick hung up the phone, frowned and beckoned to the three, saying: "Let's go back to the main base first, something happened. By the way, Dr. Schiller, trouble you to come over too..."

Nick walked out while saying to Schiller beside him: "Resurrection is not without sequelae. Memory damage is just the lightest situation. Recently, I have to trouble you to keep an eye on the Avengers. After all, if they cause any trouble because of sequelae, it will definitely be a big mess."

Schiller nodded and said: "No problem. Originally, I also planned to live in the Avengers base for a period of time. After all, we all know that those who fired hidden guns are nowhere to be found. Once they learn that the superheroes are resurrected, they are likely to repeat their old tricks. I can warn them in advance."

Nick nodded and continued to walk forward. The other three followed behind him. When they returned to the main base of S. H. I. E. L. D., Nick looked at Hill with a serious expression and asked, "What on earth is going on? Why did the warehouse explode?"

Hill covered her forehead and said: "Seeing Natasha was injured, and traces of mutants appeared nearby. The situation is very complicated. You'd better go see it yourself."

Nick's face sank, he scanned the three and said, "Sorry, there is no time to hold a welcome party for you. Get ready to set off, everyone."

Nick, Coulson, Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Schiller took a special S. H. I. E. L. D. plane and rushed to the starting point in Pennsylvania at the fastest speed.

This place was located in the north of Pennsylvania, a certain distance from New York, but taking a plane and flying at the fastest speed, it only took more than an hour to arrive. And after they landed, the first person they saw was Seeing Natasha.

At this time, Hawkeye Barton was bandaging Seeing Natasha. Nick walked up and looked at Seeing Natasha.

There was a wound on her shoulder, which looked like it had been scratched, spreading from the side of her neck to her back. She had lost a lot of blood, and the bandages she had changed were all stained red, and the new ones were still oozing blood.

"How could... how could you be so seriously injured? Seeing Natasha? Who on earth attacked the warehouse?" Nick said angrily.

Seeing Natasha's face was slightly pale, but her expression was still firm. The female agent would never show weakness. She spoke up: "I was ambushed. The other party might have been prepared."

She sighed slightly, and then began to tell:

"Recently, S. H. I. E. L. D. seized a batch of non-compliant military base equipment. In the previous order, Barton and I were responsible for sending these devices to the designated warehouse."

"Hill told me that Director Nick Fury had been resurrected. I wanted to rush to S. H. I. E. L. D. at the first time, but this batch of equipment is very important, I must watch it here. Later, Hill said that a list of warehouse supplies was needed, so I planned to complete the warehouse inventory before going back."

"But during the process of walking into the warehouse, for a period of time, I lost consciousness and memory, and had a memory gap, but I didn't realize this at the time, but entered the warehouse according to the plan and registered the equipment."

"Someone took advantage of the time I walked into the warehouse to use mind control ability to interfere with me, making me not confirm whether the warehouse door was closed. And just when I finished registering most of the equipment and was about to walk out with the material list, someone caused a big explosion."

"I am not sure what model of bomb they used, but the power was very large. In the process of continuous detonation, I heard the sound of the first bomb detonating, so I immediately chose to transfer, but it was already too late."

"The big door was closing, I didn't have the confidence to break out in just a few seconds. If I were locked inside, I would definitely die, so I chose to withdraw from the emergency exit."

"The violent explosion affected the mountain structure. When I withdrew from the emergency exit, I was injured by the building fragments shaken down."

Seeing Natasha sighed and said: "Fortunately, my reaction was still timely, so I escaped and took out the material list registered before."

Seeing Natasha took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Nick. When Nick saw the names of the devices written on that piece of paper, his pupils shrank slightly.

"Near-Earth orbital weapons, space-based weapons, star detonation devices..." Nick read the names of these devices somewhat unbelievably, and then looked up at the warehouse that had already been blown into ruins.

If he wasn't a black man, his complexion should have changed very obviously at this moment, but he still didn't believe in evil and walked towards the entrance of the warehouse.

The huge entrance that could allow the Helicarrier to enter and exit had already collapsed by half at this time. The crossbeam on the upper right side of the trapezoidal entrance had fallen down, and a row of support columns on the side had fallen forward to the ground. Nick walked around these support columns and looked at the huge devices that had been blown up.

He turned his head and looked at Iron Man who also flew over from mid-air and said: "Tony, can you tell what these devices are?"

Iron Man landed, narrowed his eyes and looked at a huge fragment in front of him, and said: "This is a shell made of molten steel, it might be part of some weapon rocket launch device..."

After saying this, he continued to walk inside, looking at the scattered device components around, and said: "These devices are made using new materials, they should be aerospace equipment developed not long ago, and these huge machines, they should all be used for mining minerals, and can also be used as weapons..."

"The Solar System Development Plan is within your jurisdiction, right? Don't you have records of these devices?" Nick asked in a low voice.

Iron Man slowly shook his head, and at this moment, Barton walked up and said, "These military bases were raided and seized during our routine maintenance. Most of them come from certain radical factions within the military who have been dedicated to manufacturing weapons and expanding their own power."

"They have very ample military spending, so scientific research progress is quite rapid. Within the first time the new materials arrived on Earth, they had already purchased and put them into use."

Barton looked at the wreckage in front of him and said

"Who the hell did this?!!" Nick's tone was already filled with murderous intent. He turned to look at Seeing Natasha and asked, "Hill said there were traces of mutants nearby. What exactly is going on?"

"This is just my speculation," Seeing Natasha said, walking forward. "I said that when I was walking through the warehouse, there was a period where my memory was blurred. It might have been mental control by someone. I suspect this could be a mutant's ability."

"You mean Professor X?" Nick immediately became alert.

Seeing Natasha shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be. If Professor X had acted, he wouldn't have let me discover it. He could have silently modified anyone's memory without being detected, but I can clearly feel a gap in my memory. This might be a much cruder method."

"I'm not sure if I hallucinated during that period of memory, but I saw two figures with golden hair, possibly a man and a woman. They entered the warehouse after I did."

"Furthermore..." Seeing Natasha turned to look at the wreckage and said, "I suspect that this might not be a bomb manufactured using human technology. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to have survived an explosion of this intensity."

Iron Man pressed his faceplate, as if Jarvis had said something to him. He spoke up, "That's right. According to Jarvis's analysis, if it really were an explosive of this yield, the entire mountain would have been blown to the sky after detonation; it would be impossible to only destroy the equipment inside the warehouse."

Seeing Natasha lowered her head and said, "As far as I know, there are quite a few members within the mutant community who are proficient in explosive abilities. Their explosions often utilize air compression or magnetism. This kind of explosion has extremely high controllability and great destructive power, while also carrying an incendiary effect, just like this."

Following her words, Nick looked at the surrounding open space, which had been scorched pitch-black, and said, "Mutants... what are they trying to do?!"

"We have to go talk to Professor X. He must handle this matter." Seeing Natasha walked up and said to Nick, "Regardless, mutants are within his jurisdiction. He shouldn't condone his companions damaging S. H. I. E. L. D.'s property; this is also a precious asset of humanity."

"Director, you have to go talk to him," Barton also walked up and said. "Although our relationship with Professor X has always been quite good, this time, they really went a bit too far. Even if it was that group from the Brotherhood, Professor X should have warned them..."

But at this moment, Nick's originally angry and gloomy expression turned slightly awkward and hesitant. This look appeared for only a split second, and then he spoke again:

"Don't you... think this matter is a bit suspicious?"
