The information SHIELD gave him was quite a lot, thick enough to be as thick as a finger.
Most of them are investigation reports, and the suspicions are only roughly defined within a range of forces that are capable of creating the virus. There is no accurate or particularly suspicious force.
Of course, even so, this information is of certain value to him, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of the overall situation in Manhattan.
Not to mention... he also discovered something that surprised him.
His eyes stayed on one part of the file, and he ignored Coulson's constant introduction and said calmly:
"Alex Moss was shot and killed by an unknown person at Pennsylvania Station three days ago in the morning. The plague spread on the same day." He shook the document slightly, looked up, looked at Coulson and said, "Why is there no background information about him?"
Coulson listened and said calmly, "Unfortunately, he has disappeared since he received his genetics degree from Columbia University five years ago. We currently have no idea where he has been or who he has been working for during this time."
Although they promised to give Colin the news about the virus incident, they did not want to let Colin know the truth, at least not now.
In addition to the fact that this would reduce a bargaining chip in their hands, they were also worried that after Colin learned the truth, he would do something to completely ruin the situation that was already somewhat out of control.
However, we can't just say nothing, otherwise it will also cause Colin's dissatisfaction and lead to problems in solving the virus incident.
In response to this, Coulson and Nick decided after a brief discussion to inform Alex of the Pennsylvania Station incident, which was the most difficult to conceal and had already been published in the newspaper. At the same time, they also took the initiative to clear all information about Alex to ensure that even if Colin took the initiative to investigate, he would not be able to identify the real spreader of the plague in a short time.
Up to this point, they used a piece of information that Colin would find out sooner or later even if he investigated on his own to meet Colin's need for intelligence. At the same time, relying on the secondary blockade of information, they ensured that they could use this card to conduct a second or even third transaction, and at certain moments, use this information to use Colin's force to do things that SHIELD wanted to do but could not do.
It can be said that it is a beautiful idea, and if it is arranged well enough, it is not impossible to realize it.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, his knowledge of the whole thing can only be learned from SHIELD, and he is a cheater.
He looked at Coulson deeply, but did not pursue the truth of what Coulson said. He changed the subject and asked, "Which unit are those soldiers outside from? I saw that they reacted very quickly. They took action almost as soon as the virus was leaked."
Coulson hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would not affect anything if he told others about it, so he said, "They are a secret force that specializes in dealing with biological and chemical warfare against the United States. The name of the force is Black Watch, and generally speaking, it is not known to the public."
"Black Watch? What a good name."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his hand, put the documents into his backpack, and said to Coulson without saying anything else, "The instruments and laboratories I want are now vacant."
"The laboratory has them ready, but we are still short of one instrument. But it will be delivered tomorrow morning."
Coulson was a little surprised that Colin would bring this up at this time, but after all, this was what he expected, so he answered immediately.
"Is there a difference? Never mind. It won't affect anything for now. Take me there."
The first wave of the virus outbreak is about to come. Although he already has some ideas about the virus vaccine, time is not enough.
However, Blacklight Virus? This world is really becoming more and more interesting.
…
Manhattan, S.H.I.E.L.D. temporary base.
Due to the outbreak of the virus, all of SHIELD's energy was concentrated here, and most of the personnel were transferred here. Nick also came here in person to take charge. For a time, it was equivalent to changing the headquarters.
In Nick's temporary office, after listening to the report from his adjutant Hill, Nick rubbed his eyebrows to make himself look a little more energetic.
He had previously ordered a mandatory inspection of the Jintek Group. To be honest, now that the situation has come to this, he would not care about some messy things. As long as it can help solve the virus, he is willing to do it, but in the end, he failed.
Generally speaking, as long as he made up his mind, there would be absolutely no problem, but now, it was an unusual situation.
During this special period, the entire city is under the control of the Blackwatch army, but the Jintek Group itself is in cahoots with Blackwatch. As long as they disagree, he can do nothing about it.
Violence
Now the one on the other side is the one who controls violence!
“Fuck!”
Still a little angry, Nick slammed his fist on the table.
Hill took a look, thought about it, and said comfortingly: "At least they agreed to send researchers to help, so it's not a complete loss. Moreover, even if we go to investigate now, I believe the relevant evidence and clues have already been dealt with."
Nick listened and stared at Hill with his one eye for a while without saying a word.
He was used to being in control of everything, so how could he accept the current situation? Seven or eight ideas had already popped up in his mind, and some of them were even being implemented.
Of course, there is no need to tell Hill about this.
It is enough for him alone to know everything, and everyone else just needs to do their own thing.
"How's it going Tony?" he asked, changing the subject.
"After the energy source was installed, his body has improved, but he is asking what exactly this virus is. Do you want to tell him?"
When they saw Tony after the fight with Colin, they were shocked. His expression and state were like that of a dying man. They all considered paying some price and asking Colin to come to the rescue.
Fortunately, it didn't reach that point. After the energy was restored, Tony's condition recovered quickly.
"Tell him. If he really wants to investigate, it will be hard to hide it. But remember to ask him to keep it a secret."
Nick pondered for a moment and said, Hill nodded after listening, and when he was about to reply, the door rang.
Dongdong…
There was a knock on the door. After looking at Hill, Nick said "come in". Then Natasha, dressed in combat gear, as if she had just fought not long ago, strode in.
"I'll go take care of something else first."
Seeing that Natasha didn't speak for a while, Hill said something to Nick, then nodded and greeted Natasha, walked out quickly and closed the door.
Natasha took a look, turned around and said to Nick who was sitting on the chair: "The mission failed, but I met an unexpected person."
