Chapter 62 The Secret of Nitrates
Chapter 62 The Secret of Nitrates
Carter soon returned home from the ball.
She tiptoed and moved very carefully from the moment she opened the door until she entered the house.
I don't want to disturb my roommate.
"Carter! You look amazing! Did you go out for fun?"
Unexpectedly, the other person hadn't rested either, and was just lying in bed sniffling.
"Colleen, why aren't you asleep yet? Do you have a cold?"
Seeing that his female roommate was not in good health, Carter quietly stepped forward and touched her forehead.
Fortunately, he did not have a fever.
"Hey Carter, you should have taken this step sooner. What kind of person is he?"
Despite feeling unwell, Colleen's gossipy nature was still burning brightly.
Carter, who usually followed the rules and went to get off work and home on time—
She's wearing a beautiful long dress today; perhaps she spent a sweet evening with her sweetheart.
A mysterious smile appeared on Carter's face.
Of course, she couldn't let her roommate know her real job.
This was both for the sake of their department's secrets and for Colleen's safety.
In the line of work as a secret agent, the biggest taboo is involving close relatives or friends.
"I'll tell you tomorrow after I get off work, okay?"
Carter stroked Colleen's hair, trying to soothe her.
"It's a promise then, you must tell me tomorrow."
"Yes, it definitely will."
After saying that, Carter pretended to remove her makeup and tidy up before hiding in the bathroom.
Along with her went in, there were also some daily necessities; the chemicals in them were very useful.
For example, it can be used to cool down the hot yellow exploding ball in front of you.
According to Jarvis on the phone, as long as the proportions are right, the danger can be averted.
A little bit of this, a few drops of that, and finally a little bit of unidentified liquid mixed in...
The scene looked exactly like a blue cat making poisoned milk.
Finally, the reagent was put into a perfume spray bottle, and then the core of the exploding ball was extracted.
As soon as the core left the container, it started emitting smoke.
"Puff puff puff—!"
Carter was so frightened that he spat out a dozen times, and only when he saw that the core had cooled down did he feel relieved enough to throw it aside.
However, at this very moment...
A very faint sound, almost inaudible to a normal person, rang out.
But Carter wasn't a normal person; he was a highly trained secret agent.
Even with some distance between them and the soundproofing of the bathroom door, she could still understand what was happening—
That was the sound made by the pistol's silencer.
Something terrible has happened; an outsider has broken in.
"Colleen? Colleen?!"
Carter's first thought was of his female roommate. Would she be alright?
There was no response.
Oh no, oh no!
Carter's spy instincts made her go silent the next second.
At the same time, a few slight noises were heard.
There's someone standing outside the bathroom door!
It seems the other side heard Carter calling Colleen's name and decided to take the initiative.
"Bang--!"
Carter flung open the door and pressed the pistol against the man's forehead with all his might.
"Oh! Relax, Miss Agent."
The person being pointed at with a gun was actually Qin Wuying.
"What are you doing here? Did you fire the shot?"
Qin Wuying shook his head and pointed to the ground not far from him.
Carter shifted his gaze and saw a tall, thin man holding a USP in his hand.
However, there was a very small hole on his forehead, from which blood was still oozing.
If nothing unexpected happens, this guy is already dead.
"Who is he? Where did he come from?"
As he asked the question, Carter rushed to Colleen's bedside.
My female roommate had a pitiful expression on her face; she looked completely terrified.
"I don't know either. He initially wanted to kill your roommate, so I struck first."
Although Qin Wuying was not carrying a gun—
However, if the other party fires a shot, it's the same as him firing a shot; those who know, know.
Qin Wuying felt very warm as she watched Carter gently comfort Colleen.
However, in the world of spies, this warmth doesn't last long.
Qin Wuying threw the intruder's body into the river and then guarded Carter's residence for the night.
Today is the day to figure out nitrates.
It is said that there is a highly talented expert at the Strategic Science Headquarters.
"This Dongsha (a type of washing product) is extremely dangerous and has a special kind of radiation."
Okay, if the expert is referring to this guy in front of us who can't speak clearly and can't even articulate his thoughts.
Carter led Qin Wuying to find this scientist.
On the forged documents Qin Wuying presented, he was a senior police officer in the National Police Headquarters.
Surprisingly, no one suspected anything. The protagonist's halo is a bit too obvious.
"Let me introduce you. This is Dr. Vanke."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wuying exclaimed, "You also have the surname Vanke?"
Given the unique pronunciation of the sentence, it's almost certain that he is the father of the villain "Whiplash".
However, there's no time to deal with this right now.
The immediate priority is to figure out the purpose of nitrate bombs.
After Dr. Vanke's vivid explanation, Qin Wuying's head began to throb with pain.
It took quite a bit of effort to understand what this guy was saying.
In general, these nitrates can release a special type of radiation called Vita rays.
The Vita Ray pod that Howard Stark used to create super soldiers was the very thing he used to create them.
"How come it's another one obsessed with super soldiers?"
Qin Wuying rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly.
"What super soldier? Who else do you know? Tell us quickly."
The male agent who was acting as the introducer seemed very interested in the topic.
"Nothing much, just a madman."
They were actually talking about General Ross, but these people certainly didn't know him.
Carter, standing nearby, dimmed his eyes upon hearing the topic of super soldiers.
Only she and Qin Wuying remembered everything about Captain America, Steve Rogers.
Not everyone possesses Steve's character.
When unworthy individuals become super soldiers, it only brings more killing and chaos.
Qin Wuying understood this principle very well.
Therefore, no matter who the other party is, they must be stopped in time.
"Get ready, we're going to raid the Roxson factory at night."
After leaving Dr. Vanke's place, Carter patted Qin Wuying on the shoulder.
This is the latest information she overheard from a conversation with her colleagues.
"A deal is about to take place there, involving a large number of nitrate bombs."
Seeing that Qin Wuying was still somewhat confused, Carter continued to explain.
In other words, if both parties involved in the transaction can be caught on the spot, more information may be obtained.
"How do we get there?"
Qin Wuying could teleport at will, but he didn't want to use his magic lightly.
To avoid any unexpected consequences.
"It's simple, wasn't there a kind person who was willing to lend us their car?"
Carter smiled slightly.
"Achoo! Achoo!"
At that moment, Jarvis, who was baking pancakes for his wife, couldn't help but sneeze several times.
