The plane quickly reached its destination.
Because there was no airport nearby, May landed the plane directly on a relatively flat dirt road in Peru. Fortunately, the Helicarrier's performance was good and it did not have high requirements for the runway for takeoff and landing.
After the plane landed, Coulson and his team drove two vehicles to Yactapat, the Inca archaeological excavation site, led by the other party.
Upon arriving at their destination, everyone got out of the car.
As soon as he got out of the car, Grant Ward said, "There are tire tracks 40 meters back. I'll go check if it's from this area."
"Make sure no one else gets involved."
Mei looked around and said, "It's too exposed here. I'll find a quiet place to park."
They then restarted their own vehicle; she wanted to park in a different spot.
Fitz and Simmons, who got out of the car, didn't seem wary at all; instead, they seemed like tourists looking to see the wild capuchin monkeys in Peru, since Peru has a considerable number of monkeys.
The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at the archaeological excavation site, in front of a huge Inca Temple.
Skye, standing beside Coulson, said, "We should warn the nearby residents that they already have to deal with the anti-mining Rebel Army and the Peru guerrillas."
"Can I send something?"
As Coulson walked, he said, "Remember the panic that caused when the antimatter meteor fell off the coast of Miami and nearly destroyed the entire city?"
Skye asked doubtfully, "I don't remember."
Coulson looked at Skye and said, "That's right, because we blocked the news and controlled the situation."
Skye asked, puzzled, "Then what am I here for?"
Coulson began, "If this gets out, I might need you to divert public attention."
"Let everyone focus on something else."
Skye understood and said, "It means, do the thing I oppose most."
Coulson nodded. "That's right."
Coulson looked at the Temple before him, and a thought flashed through his mind: since 084 Object had appeared here, was there also a Teleportation Array related to the Ninja World?
After all, according to the intelligence we received before, there are Ninja World Teleportation Array in some ancient temples and buildings. We just don't know if we'll be able to run into one this time.
You know, S.H.I.E.L.D.. has been searching for so long, and they've never actually encountered anything like it. I wonder if they'll be so lucky this time.
Just as Coulson was pondering, he saw the man emerging from the Temple entrance. Coulson went up to him and said, "Good morning, Doctor."
"I'm Agent Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D.. I heard you've discovered something interesting."
As they spoke, Coulson pulled out his identification and showed it to the other person.
The archaeology doctor glanced at Coulson's credentials and then said, "I don't even know how to explain this. This Temple is at least five hundred years old, and it's full of artifacts from before the Inca era."
"And one of these things shouldn't have been there at all, and it looks like it might be dangerous."
Coulson pointed to the Temple entrance and said, "This is what we came for."
The archaeologist then led Coulson into the Temple, where they saw an object embedded in the wall.
The archaeologist said, "Untouched."
Coulson walked over, took a closer look, and noticed strange patterns drawn around the item. He then asked:
"Does anyone else know?"
"Only the local government, they were the ones who contacted you, right?"
Coulson examined the patterns around the object, then asked, "Besides this object, is there anything else that doesn't make sense?"
The archaeologist pondered for a moment, then said, "There's something off about the relief patterns on this wall. I don't know if the people who created it made a mistake, or if it's something new."
Pointing to the patterns around the object, the doctor said, "This shouldn't be from the Inca era, but it appeared in the Temple along with this object."
"However, this should have nothing to do with it; it's just some minor archaeological issue."
Coulson seemed thoughtful, then said, "Sir, please have you and your team evacuate the scene until we determine the danger posed by this object."
Simmons and Fitz, who were standing nearby, had already taken off with their scanning drones and arrived in front of the Doctor.
The doctor looked on with curiosity as he watched the small drone fly up in front of him.
Simmons cautioned, "Don't touch him."
Coulson said to the doctor again, "For your own safety, evacuate."
The doctor nodded and left the Temple. He knew it wasn't a safe place, especially given the item that had appeared.
Skye, who was standing nearby, did some online searching and then said, "I searched every data stream, and there's absolutely no one talking about this online. It's unbelievable."
Skye walked up to the wall, looked at the items, and reached out to touch them, Fitz reminded her:
"Be careful... you'd better not touch it."
Skye stopped what she was doing and looked at Fitz.
Simmons began, "The unidentified object is embedded in the fossilized rock layer, so it must have been there for at least 1,500 years."
"That's a thousand years older than the Temple; perhaps it came from outer space."
Fitz countered, "Perhaps, but judging from its appearance and manufacturing process, it looks very much like it was made in Germany."
Meanwhile, Coulson looked at the patterns surrounding 084 Object and said, "Fitz, use your equipment to scan and map all the patterns related to this in this Temple."
"Yes, sir, but this thing seems to be part of the Temple."
Coulson shook his head and said, "No, it reminds me of the patterns left at the site of 084 Object last time" (the runic markings left by the Bifrost teleportation).
······
Outside the Temple, Grant Ward had returned after inspecting the tire tracks. Seeing May guarding the entrance, he said, "The tire tracks are the same as the professor's."
He then reminded Mei, "Where's your sidearm?"
May clearly understood Grant Ward's meaning. She came down the steps, stood beside Grant Ward, and while looking around, said, "If I need a gun, I'll just steal one."
Grant Ward nodded and said, "Yes, I'd completely forgotten you were the Cavalry."
May looked at Grant Ward and said, "Don't say that again."
"Feel sorry."
As Grant Ward walked towards the nearby jungle, he said, "I've heard about your exploits, about Bahrain, about that operation."
"Coulson made a wise move to bring you back."
Mei, on the other hand, silently walked towards another grove of trees.
Grant Ward continued walking towards a patch of overgrown weeds, saying, "It's really good to have a trustworthy friend to look after you."
After approaching the enemy, Grant Ward reached out and grabbed the soldier crouching in the bushes, pulling him out and throwing him to the ground.
Mei, on the other hand, dragged out the two soldiers hiding on her side, knocked them to the ground, and seized their pistols.
Three Peru military police officers were knocked to the ground and their weapons were disarmed.
At that moment, several vehicles rushed over, and a considerable number of Peruvian Military Police got out. They immediately pointed their guns at the two men.
Grant Ward controlled the hostages on the ground, while May held two guns and confronted the other side.
