Chapter 126 Temples and Mysterious Objects
Chapter 126 Temples and Mysterious Objects
Seeing Skye grit her teeth and jump down, Qin Wuying shook her head.
He was genuinely asking the question; he wasn't deliberately using a provocation tactic.
The reason why is that Qin Wuying himself has no equipment at all.
Qin Wuying raised one hand, held his breath, and mobilized his magical power—
The next second, he appeared out of thin air in front of Agent Ward.
"Sir?! Where did you come from?! I thought you were the last one to jump."
"It's because you newbies are too slow."
"No wonder you were able to become the deputy director; your professional skills are outstanding."
Agent Ward listened to Qin Wuying's answer in shock.
You should know that among all the agents of his rank, he is already one of the best.
I just completed the skydive at top speed.
However, Qin Wuying, as the last person to jump, not only landed with incredible speed but also without making a sound!
The agents who landed later were equally incredulous.
Skye's mouth dropped open in disbelief.
Only Coulson, who knew what was going on, maintained a smiling expression.
The agents were impressed by Coulson's lack of surprise and couldn't help but admire their experienced superior.
The group landed at the entrance to a dense forest.
"It's finally here. We can't solve this problem on our own."
A bearded man wearing glasses was waiting for the agents here.
Judging from his clothing and the badge around his neck, it is easy to tell that this man is an archaeologist.
As we all know, archaeology is a dangerous profession; you never know what surprises you might unearth.
Next, led by the archaeologist, the group plunged into the forest.
The weather was sweltering, and there was only one narrow path in the dense forest, barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side.
"If I find out that this thing isn't much of a threat, I'll definitely teach this guy a lesson."
Agent Ward, walking at the back of the group, glared fiercely at the archaeologist and couldn't help but complain.
He had never been entirely satisfied with the current situation. This was because the team included two scientists who had never been on a field mission before, and a complete novice—
This means that while he is undertaking half of the combat missions, he also has to be distracted by protecting his teammates.
Ward, who was used to working alone for a long time, was not used to it and was somewhat tired.
However, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the mission, he never said these words to the person in question.
"We've arrived. We're in the temple right in front of you."
The archaeologist took off the badge hanging around his neck and wiped the sweat from his cheeks.
"What a standard jungle temple," Qin Wuying remarked as he looked up.
Like any temple in a movie or TV show, it has stone walls covered with moss.
The main room is cube-shaped, with short staircases around it for people to go up and down.
Coulson waved his hand, signaling Agent Ward to move to the front of the line.
Ward's job is to ensure the success of the mission, even when the danger is uncertain.
Agents Fitz and Simonster followed closely behind, tasked with analyzing the discovered mysterious object.
"So... 084 is inside? It was actually just discovered?"
"No, 084 is a code name, meaning an object we don't understand either. I can't even remember which 084 this is."
Skye looked helpless upon hearing this answer.
After all that, Coulson tricked her into coming over using an industry code.
"Skye, it's your turn to get to work now." Qin Wuying tossed her a pocket-sized laptop.
"Me? I don't understand any of your stuff..."
"Quickly delete all previous news about this mysterious object to divert public attention."
"Oh, I get it!"
Before S.H.I.E.L.D. got involved, archaeologists released a news report about a mysterious object.
Given the speed of information dissemination on the Internet, it immediately caused quite a stir.
Adapting information and covering news are Skye's specialties.
Even without Coulson's explanation, Qin Wuying understood that this was why he recruited Skye into his ranks.
Apart from them, Agent Melinda and Coulson remained outside the temple.
It is said that there are a considerable number of terrorists active in the area, and if you are targeted by them, you will inevitably face a lot of trouble.
Therefore, someone needs to be on alert for the team at all times.
Seeing that the whole group was in the zone, Qin Wuying slowly walked into the temple.
Agents Fitz and Simonster have begun to command the dozen or so "bionic drones".
The research target was on a wall not far away, blocked by a few stones.
Although most of the object was obscured, it still emitted a faint blue light through the stone.
Based on Qin Wuying's experience, the energy of this thing should not be underestimated.
As expected, after just a quick scan with the drone, Fitz and Simmons looked grim.
"Its &*% value and #@…… amount are too high."
"Are you speaking a human language?" To Qin Wuying, Fitz's words sounded almost like an alien language.
"Simply put, it's very dangerous and very unstable," Simmons added in time, thankfully.
Qin Wuying nodded; he wasn't particularly worried.
He believed that his two professional scientists would definitely be able to provide a solution.
"Something's not right." Suddenly, an unusual aura swept over them, and Qin Wuying immediately became alert.
A large number of people are rapidly approaching and surrounding the temple.
"Coulson! Coulson!" Qin Wuying shouted loudly.
Agent Melinda, who had always been dedicated to her post, also noticed something was amiss.
Her gaze was fixed on a clump of grass.
Several unidentified plants were swaying gently in the breeze, but that's the problem—
Today was a sweltering, windless day.
"Ha!" Melinda suddenly leaped up and stretched out her right hand.
She pulled out a pitch-black gun barrel just like that.
"A poor disguise." Melinda chuckled softly, and with a little force, pulled out a soldier.
This was bad enough, but then there was a loud "whoosh"—
A dozen soldiers rushed out from different directions, all carrying high-quality rifles.
Their standard posture and movements showed that they were well-trained soldiers.
Agent Ward also rushed out, carrying a specially made portable energy cannon.
For a moment, neither side dared to make the first move.
Qin Wuying observed from the shadows, looking for an opportunity to strike first.
The atmosphere is now extremely tense, and a decision must be made as soon as possible.
"Hey, isn't this Coulson? Long time no see."
"Camilla? What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"
A female officer suddenly appeared and greeted Coulson warmly.
