As May resumed piloting the aircraft, she quickly halted its descent and brought it to a stable position.
After being rescued, Coulson and Grant Ward looked at Skye.
Skye laughed. "I read the safety manual."
Grant Ward exclaimed, "You're probably the first person to read this."
At that moment, Fitz followed behind Killer B, shaking the empty drink bottle in his hand.
Do you still have this juice?
Seeing Killer B, Coulson chuckled, "There's still plenty of juice left."
"And thank you for saving us."
Killer B pointed at Grant Ward and said, "Don't forget the thirteen concerts you owe me."
Upon hearing Killer B's answer, everyone smiled.
Fitz picked up 084 Object from the ground and said, "084 is stabilizing and cooling down, but we should contact headquarters and get him to the Project Slingshot reflex base as soon as possible."
Coulson looked at Fitz and asked, "Isn't there a way to get the Energy Block out of there?"
Fitz shook his head. "This thing is too crudely made. If we disassemble it, there's a high chance it will explode, and with its energy, it could send everyone flying."
Just as Fitz finished speaking, May's voice came over the plane's intercom. "Support has arrived. We can prepare to evacuate."
Several massive transport planes came into May's view outside the Helicarrier; these were the men Hill had sent to take over the Inca Temple.

On the other side.
Inside Charlotte's base.
He looked at the Space Stone in his hand, the very one he had used three hours earlier to teleport Killer B.
Looking at the Infinity Stones in his hand, Charlotte was certain that, having initially awakened the Otsutsuki bloodline, he could use one stone on his own with his physical body. However, at this moment, he could not use two stones simultaneously with his physical body, let alone use the other Infinity Stones together.
Perhaps I also need to craft a piece of equipment to use six Gem, since these things, besides costing real money, can also be used in combat.
After storing the Space Stone in her system, Charlotte looked at the sky outside. The first batch of Blood Core from Hidan and the others should be almost harvested by now.
······
S.H.I.E.L.D.. Project Slingshot Launch Base.
Meanwhile, staff began repairing the Helicarrier aircraft, while Coulson checked his car, Laufey, for any damage.
Skye walked over and looked at Coulson, who was inspecting his car, and said, "Your car is undamaged, but the plane is destroyed."
"Hopefully, S.H.I.E.L.D..'s insurance also includes hijacking."
Coulson looked at his car and said, "Of course, in the miscellaneous expenses section."
"Hehe."
Skye chuckled, then asked, "Where exactly did I sell myself to?"
Coulson stood up, looked at Skye with a smile, and said, "I told you, front row seats for the strangest show on Earth."
Skye nodded and said, "Yes, but I didn't expect the performance to be this crazy so quickly."
"And it's for something that needs to be destroyed."
Coulson explained, "The Project Slingshot is standard procedure. Weapons like the 084 are too dangerous to be obtained by any individual or country. Someone like Camila would relentlessly pursue them."
Thinking of Camila, who died for 084, Skye nodded thoughtfully. Even with ninjas, Coulson, and Grant Ward on the plane, the other party was willing to take such a desperate gamble for this thing, let alone others.
Meanwhile, Grant Ward was cleaning his gun and said to May, "It seems Skye won't just be an advisor from now on, although we have our concerns."
"She might become a key member of the team, but she needs to be properly trained."
Skye's performance today clearly improved Grant Ward's impression of her considerably.
May tidied her weapons and replied, "If she wants to become a field agent, she'll need a supervisor."
"A disciplined and capable person."
Seeing the look in May's eyes, Grant Ward shook his head and said, "No, I won't do something like that."
Clearly, Grant Ward won't easily become a supervisor again after Yakushi Kabuto's betrayal.
He then said seriously, "However, our team now has another consultant."
Mei smiled and said, "Who would refuse his joining?"
At that moment, Fitz and Simmons came downstairs with Killer B. Fitz was carrying a suitcase, and the two of them were holding beer, while Killer B was holding a bottle of juice.
Fitz looked at everyone and said, "Come on, you definitely don't want to miss this."
Following Fitz's words, everyone else followed him out of the ancient city.
Sitting on the deck of the suspended staircase, gazing into the distance, Fitz said, "It will probably take 190 days to reach the sun. Of course, it would be much faster with a hydrogen fuel-assisted propulsion system, but this is still pretty good."
Simmons handed out beer to everyone who sat down.
Grant Ward, holding a beer, looked at Killer B and said, "Want one of these?"
Killer B his juice and looked at Grant Ward, saying, "We're prohibited from drinking alcohol before we turn eighteen."
"A very good regulation."
Seeing the beer Simmons offered, Skye, standing behind the group, waved her hand in refusal and said, "How much of that stuff do you guys have?"
Simmons chuckled, "Skye, you definitely need to relax every now and then when you're out on assignment."
Fitz readily agreed, saying, "Exactly, especially after a day of escaping death."
"Killer B, your Kunai -throwing move was absolutely awesome!"
"But it would be even more perfect if you could avoid splashing me next time."
Killer B laughed, "I'll try my best."
At that moment, the Slingshot Base's loudspeaker announced, "Prepare to launch."
Coulson walked over and said, "Oh, ready to launch."
Fitz pinched his nose and shouted, "Three, two, one!"
In the distance, a Rocket slowly rose into the sky, carrying the items for their mission.
"The orbit will take it past the Lagrange Point, so it won't collide with Uranus."
"Furthermore, there have been no recent coronal mass ejections, so the telemetry shouldn't fail."
Grant Ward quipped, "Guys, can you speak Mandarin?"
Everyone's eyes were now fixed on the rising Rocket. Skye felt her phone vibrate and took it out of her pocket.
The text message read, "The Rising Tide has entered a standstill and is preparing to go underground. How are you doing? Reply."
Looking at the information above, Skye glanced at the group of people with their backs to her, quietly took a few steps back, pondered for a few seconds, and then replied, "I'm in position."
Killer B, noticing Skye's actions, watched the Rocket launch thoughtfully, but didn't say anything.
