Time passed gradually and soon it was noon.
On Wall Street Boulevard, with the arrival of new reinforcements from the US military, the blockade of the entire block was once again tightened to a higher level.
And who knows if it was related to what Colin had done before, but the army was now filled with a solemn atmosphere before the war.
Colin and Alex stood on the roof of a nearby building, looking out over the entire battlefield below.
As the agreed time approached, they arrived here as promised.
And it was no different from what they thought. Until now, there has been no relevant information on the Internet. It can be seen that SHIELD, no, it should be said that the United States, has made up its mind not to admit the truth of the matter.
I looked at the time, it was 11:59, and when it reached exactly 12 o'clock, the evidence they edited suddenly appeared on major website forums around the world.
Colin's lips curled up into a smile and he put his phone back in his pocket.
Alex saw it and asked, "Has it started?"
"Ah! The war of public opinion has begun. It's time for us to take action. Otherwise, if we don't give Vahar some confidence, he won't be able to hold on for long."
Colin stretched hard, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Alex heard it, retracted his gaze, took a step down, and as spider-web-like cracks appeared on the top of the building, he shot straight towards the center of the blocked street like a cannonball.
Colin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and followed without leaving a trace.
…
After Alex appeared, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the blockade area, and a series of intelligence was gathered in the temporary command center.
General Sid sat in the first seat, listening to his subordinates' reports and looking at Nick below.
"It seems to be exactly as you said, Chief Nick."
He got the news about this incident from Nick in advance.
But a few minutes ago, he was still skeptical.
After all, it was unbelievable for the enemy to openly reveal their subsequent strategies. What was more likely was that they were using this excuse to paralyze and deceive them.
He thought so, but in the end, he was wrong.
Whether it was the remarks that had just appeared on the Internet, or Alex who suddenly appeared and headed towards the center of the infected area, they all proved that the other party said so and did so.
Fortunately, although he did not believe it before, he had made corresponding preparations, so he is not panicked now.
"Colin Black is a very confident person. He told me his plan in advance because he believed that even if we knew it in advance, it would not change the result."
Nick's expression was quite calm. He and Colin had dealt with each other quite a lot, and he thought he had a pretty good understanding of Colin's character.
“That sounds really unpleasant.”
Natasha, who was sitting next to Dr. Banner, spread her hands.
Being looked down upon is never a pleasant thing.
"But this also gives us time to prepare in advance," Nick took over.
Although he felt a little uneasy about the source of Colin's confidence, it was much better to get the news in advance than to have it happen suddenly without knowing anything.
"Well, I've always wanted to say this." Dr. Banner raised his hand and said, "Since that man named Colin is going to deal with the virus matrix, why should we bother him just because he wants to take revenge on Blackwatch for creating the virus?"
He came here mainly for Elizabeth, and that was the only reason Natasha asked him to come and help.
But now, he was suddenly called to deal with someone else, but he was unwilling to do so.
Moreover, in his opinion, although Colin's actions were a bit extreme, the person he was dealing with was the one who created the Blacklight Virus, so there was nothing difficult to understand.
On the contrary, he was even more upset by the fact that the United States rejected Colin's proposal and continued to cover up the matter.
"He doesn't just want revenge on Blackwatch, he wants to start a war."
Nick looked serious. Banner listened and frowned, "I don't know you..."
“Here’s the evidence.”
Nick took out a recorder and played the previous phone recording. Looking at Banner's frowning expression, he continued, "And the reason we have to deal with him is not just that. He and the person called Alex are a huge threat in themselves. If we let them continue, maybe they will cause a bigger disaster at some point."
Banner grinned and said, "Speaking of threats, I think I am the same in your eyes."
Natasha sensed Banner's emotions and said gently, "No, Dr. Banner, you didn't do anything on your own initiative. They did it on purpose for their own benefit. These are two completely different situations."
"Different... maybe..."
Banner smiled self-deprecatingly and said nothing.
Nick watched his team's top fighter calm down and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the report and said, "The one fighting Elizabeth now is Alex Mercer, who is also a virus evolver. The Black Light Virus can devour each other and evolve. We don't know what will happen when they devour each other and only one person is left, but we can't take the risk."
"Take action now?"
General Sid looked at the image on the screen and hesitated.
In his opinion, it would be best to wait until they were about to decide the winner before taking action.
"Now we have to deal with more than just the two of them. There is a bigger threat nearby."
Nick pointed at Colin who was watching the fight.
General Sid took a look and made a decision: "Okay, do as you say."
The military deployed on Wall Street began to take action as the order was issued. At the same time, in the Blackwatch base, General Peter just hung up the call with Pierce.
"General..."
Lieutenant Robert shouted from his seat at one side of the office.
Although they were prepared for the current situation and had a response plan when the hard drive was stolen, when this moment really came, they still felt a little caught off guard.
"It will cost a lot, but Pierce and the others agreed to help us."
Looking at Robert, General Peter said.
At this time, you need to give your subordinates a reassurance.
"That's good… "
Robert heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the reply.
General Peter took a look and ordered: "Send people to Wall Street to help. Remember, kill the people from S.H.I.E.L.D., especially Nick Fury."
This is also one of the conditions agreed upon with Pierce.
Robert's eyes moved slightly, and soon, he nodded vigorously and said: "Promise to complete the mission, General."
