Vahar listened, frowning for a moment.
He didn't want to agree to Alex joining before. In addition to the reasons mentioned above, he also didn't want to have too many lone strongmen like him appear in the alliance.
After all, compared to a country composed of a collective, individuals are quite unstable. If there are too many people like Colin, it will pose a huge hidden danger to the alliance in the future.
But if what Colin said is true, it is really necessary to let Alex Mercer join.
"Must I go?" Vahar asked for the last time.
Colin didn't reply, but nodded very seriously.
He looked at it, let out a long breath and said, "Okay, I agree to this matter, and I will deal with the subsequent problems... Damn, you should have told me in advance!"
Covering his face with his hands, Vahar couldn't help but complain.
For Colin, this was just a matter of opening his mouth, but for him, it meant revising the entire plan, and the amount of work he needed to do would increase greatly.
Ke Lin knew he was in the wrong, so he just laughed when he heard this.
Wahar looked at them, sighed, and after calming down, he asked, "Where did the two people you brought come from? Are you here to seek refuge?"
He already had some guesses, but he was not sure.
Colin listened, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Alex's girlfriend and sister, because Manhattan has been a bit chaotic recently, I may not be able to take care of them for a while, so I thought of letting them come here to take shelter temporarily... Is there a problem?"
"Sure enough..." After listening to Colin's words, Vahar muttered something and said seriously: "Even if you didn't come today, I was going to look for you."
After saying that, he paused and said, "Someone is targeting me, and the reason is definitely not those life potions."
Ke Lin's eyes turned cold, and he said slowly: "Any guesses?"
"The investigation shows that it was the CIA, and the reason is very likely what we are preparing to do."
After giving Colin a meaningful look, Vahar did not say more on the topic and said, "No one around me is safe right now. If you bring them here, I cannot guarantee their safety."
Colin listened in silence for a while, then said, "I was careless. You take these two rings."
He took out two purple-gold rings inlaid with gemstones from his backpack and threw them to Wahar.
Seeing his puzzled look after he took it, he said, "One of these two rings can provide protection when you are in danger. Bullets and ordinary explosions cannot hurt you. The other one can detect toxicity within one meter and increase resistance to abnormal drugs. With them, ordinary assassinations will not work on you."
"Just put it on?" Wahar asked, holding the two rings.
Colin listened and nodded.
When Wahar saw it, he put the two rings on his hands and asked, "What are you going to do with the two ladies you brought? Are they going to do the same as me?"
Vahar raised his ringed hand and shook it.
"No, I'll take them away." Colin shook his head.
This kind of prop can only prevent assassination by people who are not aware of the situation. If someone really knows about it, even an ordinary person can find a way to kill the person wearing the prop.
Furthermore, he had not refined many of these props to begin with, and after giving them to Vahar, he was left with none left.
"You have to be careful here too. If you find any danger, contact me at any time." Colin advised.
If possible, given his personality, he would not want to let Vahar take risks, but now he is indispensable here, so this is the only way.
"I will." After hearing Colin's words, Vahar was not polite.
When it comes to your own life, you can never be too cautious.
Colin listened without saying anything else. After the two discussed the details of the plan for a while, Colin said goodbye to Vahar and left.
Now that the vaccine has been developed, we have more time, but it is not time to waste it if we haven’t achieved anything big.
The living room in the villa.
Dana and Karen were talking to Joseph in the living room.
Colin walked in and extended his hand to say hello.
"Have you finished talking to him?"
Joseph asked as he watched Colin come in.
"Yeah, we talked about something." Colin nodded and said to Dana and Karen, "Something went wrong. We need to move to another place."
Dana and Karen were stunned when they heard this. Joseph frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Colin replied, "Because of me, the CIA has set their sights on this place, so it's not safe here now... Do you want to join us, Joseph?"
"Particularly dangerous?" Joseph asked with a frown.
"Not for you." Colin shrugged.
For the only friend he truly cared about in this world, the protective props he gave to Josel took almost every possibility into consideration. Unless he was bombed with missiles, it would be difficult to really hurt him.
"Forget it then." Joseph replied immediately after hearing this.
His staying here can help Wahar feel at ease.
He can't help in the frontal battle, but he still hopes he can be of some use in other aspects.
"Okay, whatever you want." Colin said indifferently.
Once the props on Josel are activated, he will also receive the message, so he is not worried about anything.
Snapped!
He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and a portal appeared in the house.
Looking at the two women, Colin said, "Come on, two beauties, we should go to a new place."
"I hope this is the last time." Dana stood up and muttered softly.
Colin listened and smiled: "Of course, I promise!"
…
A cave in suburban Texas.
The cave is spacious, covering an area of more than a thousand square meters. Several white and red crystals are placed on the ceiling, making the entire cave as bright as day. The underground is made of smooth stone slabs, and there is not a trace of dust.
On both sides of the cave, rows of shelves were placed at the edge, on which a large number of processed precious materials were placed in different categories.
There is a large open space in the cave, with a large number of experimental equipment occupying a large area, and the remaining space is arranged as a resting place.
At this moment, in this cave without any smell of life, a portal slowly took shape, and three figures walked out of it.
"Welcome to my base. You are the only two people here besides me."
Stepping out of the portal, Colin introduced the two people with a smile as he looked around at this new place.
Dana and Karen looked around, with Dana even walking up to a row of shelves.
But when she saw the things on the shelf, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and looked back in surprise.
The densely packed gold laid out in a row really looks extremely dazzling.
Feeling Dana's surprised look, Colin smiled and said, "Some unprocessed materials are placed here. If you see anything you like, feel free to take it and play with it."
"You're very generous." Dana picked up a gold bar and shook it and muttered.
Colin smiled but didn't respond. He continued, "Because of the CIA, I have to let you come here."
"Although this place is not as enjoyable as Dubai, and it will be boring if you stay for too long, one thing is for sure: it is safe. Until the matter is resolved, I can only trouble you to stay here for a short period of time."
"It's okay. Thank you for your concern." Karen shook her head.
A few hours later, she didn't look as depressed as before.
Colin glanced at her and smiled, "This is what I should do, don't worry about it."
As he spoke, he pointed to the resting corner and said, "I have some electronic products there. If you are bored, you can play with them to kill time."
After saying that, Colin came to a machine, took out some materials and started tinkering with it.
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. This is the secret base he was looking for. A considerable portion of the resources he had obtained from Vahar were placed in this cave.
At the same time, this is also a small processing base for him to forge equipment and develop props.
Now that the decisive battle is approaching, even if he is confident in his heart, he will definitely not hesitate to increase his confidence.
"What are you doing?"
After walking around the cave twice, Dana walked up to Colin curiously.
Colin did not expel them. He could not understand these things just by looking at them, so he responded casually: "Make something."
"What is it?" she asked curiously.
Colin turned his head to look at her, then turned his eyes away again and said, "It's a secret."
“Tsk.”
Dana, who was rejected, didn't ask any more questions. She rolled her eyes and walked to Karen and started chatting in a low voice.
But not long after, she stood up again, somewhat restlessly.
Although I tried not to think too much about it, I was still worried about Alex who was still in danger.
…
Manhattan, near Wall Street.
The densely packed army surrounded the entire infected area, and the sound of gunfire in a small area never stopped.
Alex, who came here from the safe house, stood on the roof of a building and looked down. For a moment, he gradually frowned.
He wanted to find Elizabeth to clarify some things, but he didn't want to confront the US military head-on right now.
In this way, infiltration is the best way.
But now it seems that the outer blockade network is tightly blocked, and there is not even a living person to be seen inside the infected area. There are also helicopters patrolling back and forth in the sky.
Even if he could change his shape and appearance at will, it would be difficult for him to sneak in without being discovered.
If Lupin and the others were here, maybe they would have some ideas... This thought suddenly popped into Alex's mind.
But soon, he dismissed the idea.
There is no need to ask Lupin and the others for help in such a small matter. They also have their own tasks.
Furthermore, the worst possible scenario would be a fight with the military. Although I was unwilling to do so, I was not afraid of it. I just thought it was troublesome.
He jumped down from the roof, and when he reached the ground, he instantly turned into a military personnel.
Command center.
General Peter, one-armed and dressed in military uniform, strode in with several adjutants.
Inside, General Sid looked up and greeted him.
"What do you want from me?" General Peter asked straight to the point.
"Not long ago, the virus attacked from underground again, broke through our first-floor blockade, and caused many casualties among the soldiers."
General Sid was talking to himself. General Peter heard it and asked with a flicker in his eyes, "Do you want me to send someone to support you?"
Ever since the West German general entered the city with an armored division, Black Watch was directly relegated to the second line.
Now, he was wondering whether this old fox could not bear the loss and was ready to let him take the blame.
He didn't really care about it, but he couldn't let this old fox get away with it so easily...
"No." Somewhat beyond General Peter's expectations, General West shook his head and said, "I have already asked the military for support regarding the loss, and the military has agreed to dispatch another armored division."
"I came to you this time because Director Nick of SHIELD said that Blackwatch has a special method to deal with the Blacklight virus. For the sake of the overall situation, I hope that General Peter can hand over this method."
The West German general's eyes were scorching, and seemed to be staring at him.
After hearing this, General Peter's expression remained unchanged, but he was cursing Nick Fury in his heart.
That bastard definitely did this on purpose!
"General Sid, you are joking. The Blacklight virus has only just appeared. How can we have any special means?"
General Peter shook his head in denial. General Sid was not surprised after seeing this. He sighed and said, "It seems that Director Nick got some of the information wrong. I said that this information must have been framed by someone. Now it seems to be true."
"But don't worry, General Peter. I will testify for you to the military."
As he spoke, General Sid took out a document and threw it over.
General Peter felt something was wrong when he heard this. After taking the document and reading it, his face became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
"Where did you get this information, General?" General Peter asked coldly.
The document contained some evidence of secret dealings between Blackwatch and the Kintek Group.
Although reporting this will not kill him completely, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
"It was sent by Director Nick." Sid did not hide it and said directly.
After hearing this, General Peter's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He was silent for a while and said, "Although we don't have special means to deal with the Blacklight virus, as an epidemic prevention force to resist biological warfare, Blackwatch still has some means to deal with viruses. Some of them may also have a certain effect on the Blacklight virus. If the general doesn't mind, I will send someone to try it."
"Thank you very much for your kindness, General Peter." General Sid did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.
"Then this document..." General Peter waved his hand.
After reading it, General Sid immediately laughed and said, "It's just some jokes from Director Nick. General, don't take it seriously."
General Peter smiled as he listened, and for a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became harmonious.
Just when the two groups seemed to be friendly on the surface and were plotting some unknown conspiracy in their hearts, a messenger hurriedly ran in at the gate of the command center.
General Sid looked at it with a startled heart and asked, "What happened?"
"Report to the general, a monster that cannot be killed by guns has broken into the blockade area!"
The soldiers were a little panicked. General West Germany was about to ask again, but the next second, the sound of heavy artillery fire suddenly rang in his ears.
