Chapter 131 Survival of the Catastrophe
Chapter 131 Survival of the Catastrophe
"Why are you only coming now? Did you have to wait until I was about to die?"
Coulson let out a long sigh and leaned against the wall made of magical energy.
Comila, who was standing nearby, had fainted in the midst of the commotion and was leaning against Coulson.
Seeing that he was safe and sound, all the agents collapsed to the ground.
The ordeal just now took a tremendous toll on my physical strength.
"Sir, isn't that a bit unfair? What if someone is killed?"
Despite knowing Qin Wuying's thoughts, Agent Ward couldn't help but complain.
After all, just a few seconds ago, the situation was one of near-death experiences.
If the support had been even half a second later, Coulson could very well have been thrown off balance and died in the line of duty.
And it's anyone's guess when the safety ropes binding the agents will give way.
"But I arrived just in time," Qin Wuying frowned. "I won't just stand by and watch my comrades die."
After saying that, he used his magic to pull the device from Agent Simonster's hand.
Immediately afterwards, six small energy walls were combined to securely lock the device inside.
"Sir, that thing emits radiation similar to the Tesseract; it's very dangerous," Agent Fitz warned.
"I know, that's why it's safe to use my abilities." Qin Wuying placed the device on the table.
In this way, even if an accident occurs, the protection you provide can minimize the damage from the explosion.
After finishing this task, Qin Wuying went to Coulson's side and helped him up.
This time, Coulson almost lost his life trying to save his old flame.
"Come on, let's celebrate. I'll be in trouble if you die."
As he spoke, Qin Wuying handed Coulson a bottle of wine.
Coulson drank as he watched Agent Ward tie Camilla up.
"Um, can I handle her situation?"
"Come on, just follow the procedure. Don't believe her nonsense anymore."
Qin Wuying refused outright and instructed Ward to take Camilla to the only prison cell on the Airbus.
At this point, Coulson cannot be allowed to get involved under any circumstances.
He's too concerned about past relationships and always wants to be a good person to the end.
This led to today's hijacking incident, and ultimately—
"You two used to have an affair, didn't you?" Sky asked curiously, acting as Qin Wuying's mouthpiece.
Coulson nodded silently.
The agents all simultaneously displayed complex expressions.
Wow, so that's how it is!
Exhausted, everyone returned to their cubicles, ready to get a good night's sleep.
Coulson stayed in the main hall, communicating with S.H.I.E.L.D.
Qin Wuying watched TV while drinking some orange juice.
After an unknown amount of time, the Airbus alarm rang, signaling the end of the short journey.
The hatch slowly opened, and the awakened agents sat on the edge.
Before us stretched an incredibly open field, with a rocket launch silo in the distance.
"This is our 'slingshot' launch site."
"What is it used to launch?"
"The mysterious device we found."
Next, Qin Wuying introduced the base's functions and history to everyone.
"What a pity, I thought we could keep that thing," Agent Melinda lamented.
She contributed a great deal to this operation.
It's a pity that what you desperately try to protect can't ultimately be used for your own benefit.
"However, it is so uncontrollable that no one should own it."
"Yes, I think so too."
Agent Fitz and Agent Simon expressed their opinions one after the other.
Qin Wuying also deeply agreed with this point.
After Fury obtained the Tesseract, he used it to research weapons.
Moreover, that guy couldn't control the Rubik's Cube at all; he just made things worse for himself.
This also attracted Thanos's minions who were searching for the Infinity Stones—
If it weren't for his and the Avengers' help, Fury would probably be eating dirt somewhere right now!
"I agree with your point of view," Qin Wuying paused, "so I had already sent it in before you woke up."
After speaking, Qin Wuying turned his gaze toward the rocket launch silo.
"So, what's in there now is..." Ward pointed to the rocket that was being ignited.
"That's it. It will be launched to a very high altitude and then decompose." Qin Wuying nodded.
In fact, he believed that anything of this level of danger should be destroyed.
He doesn't trust any individual, any organization, or even the government.
No matter who it is, if they acquire power far beyond their own capabilities, they will lose themselves.
Rather than doing that, it would be better to just destroy it. If I can't get it, the enemy shouldn't even think about getting it.
It's a bit of a pity, but this is the best solution.
The agents sat by the hatch, quietly watching the rocket slowly rise and accelerate.
Just then, clusters of fireworks burst open in the sky.
It was the dead of night, and suddenly the pitch-black sky was filled with colorful flowers.
"This is a special treat for you all," Qin Wuying said with a slight smile.
Of course, when the agents returned to base, they found that their salaries had also increased.
Throughout the hijacking, they gradually came together, stopped arguing, and their relationship improved.
This was Qin Wuying's way of encouraging and rewarding them.
After witnessing the destruction of the mysterious device, the agents all stood up and turned around.
"Hey, who are you messaging?"
Qin Wuying suddenly moved closer to Skye and stared at her screen.
"Ah! No, no one, I'm just writing in my diary." Skye quickly pressed the screen-off button.
"Alright, who writes a diary anyway?" Qin Wuying patted her shoulder and turned to leave.
But he clearly saw it just now, saw it clearly—
"How's it going on your end? Any progress?"
"I have successfully infiltrated the inside."
The phone's email interface clearly shows just these two lines of dialogue.
However, in order to play the long game, Qin Wuying did not intend to expose him for the time being.
"What's wrong? Do you have any other opinions about Skye?"
Coulson, who also noticed something was wrong, came over to ask what was going on.
He knew that the agents were generally not very happy with his unauthorized recruitment of Skye.
"It's nothing, I was just checking up on her."
"If you have any comments, please feel free to let me know."
"In that case, let Agent Ward be her guardian for now, and give her some training."
After thinking it over, Qin Wuying decided to place the loyal and capable Ward next to Skye.
Firstly, it could enhance their relationship, and secondly, it could serve the purpose of surveillance.
"Come on, agents," Qin Wuying waved to everyone—
"We still have many tasks to complete."
