At this moment, Barton, Loki, and the others had already left the base and arrived at the underground parking lot. The Doctor, carrying the Tesseract S.H.I.E.L.D., got into the pickup truck, while the S. H. I. E. L. D. agents got into the driver's seat to drive for everyone, and Loki sat directly in the cargo area outside the pickup truck.
Hill looked at Loki, who was dressed strangely and sitting in the cargo-hauling position, and asked curiously:
Who is that?
As he walked, Barton replied, "I don't know either."
Because of Yakushi Kabuto's appearance, Loki didn't have the opportunity to deliver his own reflections, nor did he get to introduce himself or that he was Asgardians.
Hill, hearing Barton say he didn't know, assumed he was a member of the underground Laboratory's secret team and didn't pay much attention, turning to walk into the base to see which equipment hadn't been evacuated yet.
Just then, the voice of Director Nick Fury came through the walkie-talkie in his hand.
Nick Fury, carrying Yakushi Kabuto, spoke into a walkie-talkie as he walked out:
"Hill, can you hear me?"
The walkie-talkie voice wasn't just heard by Hill; Loki and Barton heard it too.
Loki immediately realized that the black man from before was not dead.
Loki was puzzled by one thing: when he last came to Earth to defeat the Frost Giant, wasn't the Black Man a slave on this planet?
It seems like these slaves have turned the tables and are now in charge. What a Rules planet!
At the same instant, Loki sat up straight, pointing his Scepter at the female agent.
"Barton has betrayed us."
The instant Nick Fury uttered those words, Hill rolled away and hid behind the wall.
Just as Hill rolled, Barton immediately drew his gun and fired. Although the shot was fast, Hill, who had anticipated this, dodged it.
Barton fired as he got into the car, keeping Hill pinned down and preventing him from showing his face. The car then started and drove off quickly towards the outside of the base.
Hearing the car start, Hill leaned out and immediately pulled the trigger at the departing vehicle, but all the bullets hit the car's steel panels and did not harm anyone.
Inside the base, Nick Fury, dragging his Yakushi Kabuto, continued shouting as he fled, "They stole the Tesseract! Stop them!"
Upon receiving the order, Hill immediately arranged for his agents to give chase, and he also drove after them.
Loki glanced at the pursuing vehicles behind him, smiled disdainfully, and waved his Scepter, unleashing a laser beam that pierced through the chasing vehicles, resulting in instant destruction and death.
On the other side.
Coulson, seeing the building already beginning to collapse, immediately shouted:
"Forget about the belongings, evacuate immediately."
Then he led his agents outside and boarded the helicopter prepared for evacuation.
As Coulson and the others boarded the helicopter, the rotors began to spin. Coulson picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Sir, the people upstairs have all been evacuated. You need to leave quickly."
At that moment, Nick Fury, carrying Yakushi Kabuto, ran forward quickly, and in the last second, he and Yakushi Kabuto boarded the rooftop helicopter and drove away.
As the aircraft took off, the underground space tunnel collapsed, engulfing the entire experimental base.
······
Hill, who was intercepting in her car, exchanged fire with Barton before Barton pushed her car aside, leaving her vehicle behind Barton and his men.
As Hill was giving chase, the underground tunnel collapsed, burying the car. Although he suffered a head injury, he was not in mortal danger.
Coulson and Nick Fury, aboard two different helicopters, stared at the collapsed base, unable to calm down for a long time.
Nick Fury looked at Yakushi Kabuto lying to the side and did not order the helicopter pilot to chase after Barton and the others. He had already lost the Tesseract and could not let Yakushi Kabuto fall into the same trap.
On the plane, Nick Fury's walkie-talkie crackled to life with Coulson's voice.
"Director, Director Fury, did you hear me?"
Nick Fury picked up the walkie-talkie beside him and said, "The Tesseract has been stolen by the enemy."
He glanced at the still unconscious Yakushi Kabuto and continued, "Someone is injured. How are things on your end, Hill?"
Hill, trapped in the tunnel, had just climbed out of the car and picked up the walkie-talkie, replying, "Many people are still buried underground. I don't know how many survivors there are."
Nick Fury began, "Issue a full command."
"Order all personnel not involved in the rescue to search for the whereabouts of that box."
Hill replied, "Understood!"
Nick Fury continued issuing orders, "Coulson, return to base. This is a Level 7 event."
"From this moment on, the war begins."
Coulson paused for a second after hearing the order, then asked, "What should we do?"
Nick Fury glanced at the still unconscious Yakushi Kabuto and slowly said, "Initiate the Avengers Initiative."
······
As soon as Nick Fury gave the order, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. sprang into action.
On the other side...
Charlotte Doyle had already returned to the base, and he didn't idle around there.
After receiving information from Yakushi Kabuto, Charlotte knew that the Battle of New York was about to begin, and Charlotte was filled with anticipation for this major event on Earth.
Others might fear the Chitauri of star-level pirates, but Charlotte was not afraid at all. Although he didn't have as many ninjas, he wasn't flustered at all when facing the Chitauri and could easily kill too many enemies.
His real goal is to take advantage of this opportunity to steal the Tesseract without any problems, and even the Mind Stone is one of his targets.
However, Charlotte needed to make preparations beforehand, and soon Charlotte began to inform the Red Queen to issue orders.
"Red Queen, notify all Konoha Ninja to come to the base for a meeting first thing tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Master."
After giving Red Queen his instructions, Charlotte entered the System Space. Through this period of training, he had fully mastered his rapidly increasing power. Now, his task was to recruit the ninjas he had acquired but had not yet recruited, thereby increasing his strength.
On the other side...
Black Widow Natasha is currently undergoing a secret interrogation in a room in Russia.
At this moment, Natasha was wearing black stockings, and her red hair was tied to a chair, making her look exceptionally sexy and alluring.
