76. S.H.I.E.L.D., soon to become history

Victoria was shocked, but not much, when she learned that Hydra had resurfaced.

after all……

Just a loser.

If they could defeat Hydra once, they could defeat Hydra a second time.

She didn't know how many Hydra agents were hiding in her New York Shield, but one thing she was certain of.

Anyway, as long as her trusted agents don't cause any problems, any other problems, no matter how big, are just minor issues.

As it turned out, the reality check came incredibly quickly.

At this moment.

In the spacious plaza of New York SHIELD, which is the size of four football fields, SHIELD agents belonging to New York SHIELD were putting down their work one after another, walking out of their offices or elevators, and then gathering in the center.

Because of the attack on Director Nick Fury and the disappearance of Commander Maria Hill, former Director Alexander Pierce temporarily took over S.H.I.E.L.D. and declared a state of emergency. All S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on the ground rushed back to the nearest S.H.I.E.L.D. base as quickly as possible.

The New York Shield, which obeys orders but not directives, is no exception.

However, Victoria did not disobey the order, but went along with it and declared a state of emergency for New York Shield.

soon.

Upon arriving at the lobby, and seeing that the commander had not yet arrived, the SHIELD agents, who were standing in small groups talking, sensed something was amiss.

"What's wrong with you?"

"hiss!"

"I can't move."

"Shit."

"Me too."

As S.H.I.E.L.D. agents discovered that their colleagues, who were talking one second, turned into wooden figures the next, one after another, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were horrified to find that they had also lost control of their bodies.

Just then.

Twenty-six Level 5 Emergency Shield agents, who had just been screened by Jean, entered the arena.

The twenty-six S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 5 agents split into smaller groups, starting from their respective positions. Ignoring their colleagues who were frozen in place, they focused their attention on the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were floating in place one by one in their line of sight.

The sound of handcuffs locking was incessant at that moment.

"Screw it!"

"So many."

Victoria Hand, who appeared in the corridor on the second floor of the command center, couldn't help but gape as she looked at the number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents floating in the air above the plaza in front of her.

She had previously thought that no matter how many Hydra agents were in New York, they could never match the number of Hydra agents hidden in SHIELD headquarters.

result……

Did I get proven wrong again?

Jean, who was standing to the side, had her red hair, which had been hanging down, now fluttering without any wind. Her face was cold and stern, and her thoughts swept over the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents standing in the square like radar.

After Victoria Hand instructed Sharon Carter to turn off the mind suppressor at the bottom of the base, her telekinesis enveloped the entire SHIELD base in New York.

That's one way to put it.

Right now, if Jean wanted to, she could turn the entire New York Shield to ashes with a single thought.

This shows how much Victoria trusted the piano.

However, Qin did not disappoint this trust.

Her thoughts quickly swept across the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the plaza, and as her thoughts swept across, one Hydra agent after another, hidden among the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, was found.

In the face of mutants who are beyond level five, especially those with psychic abilities, the so-called undercover agents and infiltration are nothing but a complete joke.

and so……

For Jean Grey, finding the Hydra agents lurking among the many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents was not a difficult task.

But it was a difficult task for those twenty-six S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Without him.

many.

Too much.

If you don't count carefully, just looking at it at a glance, wow, almost a third of the personnel in SHIELD New York are Hydra agents.

The most important thing.

"Commander, we're running out of handcuffs."

"...The zither!"

Victoria listened to the report through her earpiece, remained silent for a moment, and looked at the red-haired piano that was moving without wind beside her: "Don't kill them, let them pass out."

Qin glanced coldly at Victoria.

Victoria met Qin's somewhat cold gaze and added, "Don't waste time, we still need to help Ethan."

Upon hearing this, Qin's usually cold and unwavering eyes flickered slightly.

next second!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Those Hydra agents who had been selected by Jean and were suspended in mid-air felt a sharp pain in their heads, and as they lost consciousness, they fell to the floor one by one.

at the same time.

Qin also withdrew her power.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the plaza have now regained their ability to act independently.

"Quiet."

"The remaining agents, return to your positions and do your jobs."

"Sharon, I'm leaving this to you."

Victoria stood in front of the second-floor railing, looking down at the SHIELD agent who had regained his ability to act independently, and then said something to Sharon who was walking up the stairs next to her.

Sharon, who had just been indiscriminately pinned to the stairs by Jean, glanced at Jean, who seemed somewhat tired, with lingering fear. Then, upon hearing Victoria's words, she quickly reverted to the demeanor expected of an elite S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

After Victoria finished speaking, she and Qin turned and walked into the command and control center behind them.

As soon as I entered.

On the big screen, Director Zheng Xian of S.H.I.E.L.D. looked at Victoria and joked, "Let's change the name. Don't call it S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore, let's call it Snake Shield."

He had just been remotely watching the drama unfold from the New York Shield surveillance system.

If there are so many Hydra agents hidden in New York SHIELD, who are obedient to orders but not to orders, one can imagine how many Hydra agents are hidden inside SHIELD headquarters.

and so……

Why call it S.H.I.E.L.D.? They should just rename it Snake Shield.

"This is a big deal."

"Victoria".

"Just now, Alexander Pierce of S.H.I.E.L.D. issued an arrest warrant for Steve Rogers."

"What?"

Victoria, who led the piano in, was completely stunned. Then, she realized what was happening and said to Zheng Xian on the big screen, "Don't forget, S.H.I.E.L.D. is also part of S.H.I.E.L.D."

On the big screen, Zheng Xian shrugged: "Yes, for now."

But who knows what the future holds?

after all……

S.H.I.E.L.D. has become a Hydra agent; even one of the Security Council chairmen has become a member of Hydra. After this is over, S.H.I.E.L.D. will probably become a thing of the past.

Victoria naturally understood the implication in Zheng Xian's words.

She paused for a moment, then recovered and shook her head.

"We'll deal with the future later."

"Alright, you've seen the show, I won't keep you any longer."

That's all.

Victoria nodded to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent beside her.

Just as Jung Hyun was about to continue speaking, he suddenly disappeared from the big screen.

next second.

Victoria spoke up.

When will Sokovia's Aegis satellite arrive?

"It's in place."

"connect!"

"Yes."

"..."
