The Quinjet Here to Pick Them Up

Although her comrades trapped in the base told her to run first, the man beside her actually led her away! Barbara, who couldn't get over this, chatted idly with Henry the whole way.

Ultimately, the United States boast of "Not a single soldier left behind" has been so widely disseminated that it has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Even in movies, there are many such plots of people who would live or die together, and these are considered noble.

This social atmosphere makes many selfish people hesitant to choose the path of abandoning others when faced with a choice.

But this also led many misled kids to stay and drag the team down. The final, seemingly insurmountable level was turned into a life-or-death struggle, with both players ultimately paying the price...

However, people are generally more selfish. If such a social atmosphere were not promoted, there would probably be more people who would abandon their companions than those who would stay when trouble comes.

If even one person runs away, it can easily drag those with weak wills down with them, eventually leading to a major collapse.

But for Henry, if he let someone run first, it meant he genuinely wanted that person to leave quickly. He could then slaughter the rest of the people without any psychological burden.

Even if he doesn't silence them, Henry has plenty of options to run or fly away. What kind of mess is it if his companions insist on staying, limiting his own performance?

But Henry knew his situation was unique and wouldn't apply to others, let alone to United States society as a whole.

He wasn't worried about whether Nick Fury could escape. He wasn't concerned about the possibility of Flerken, or whether he himself might cause the Old Black to perish in the Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. base before even losing an eye to the Flerken.

The person most importantly by his side was Vers, a member of the Kree Empire's Starforce and the future Captain Marvel. Even before breaking free of the Kree Empire's limiter, his Photon Blast was enough to crush Earth's conventional forces.

With this tough woman protecting him, Nick Fury would have a hard time dying, unless their relationship wasn't good enough.

But given the smooth-talking nature of this future Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., what difficulty could he possibly have in coaxing a bewildered alien female warrior?

Nick Fury today is like Phil Coulson in the future, shining brightly in a series of TV shows, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Despite being a secret agent, he won people over with his sincerity. His conduct was disciplined yet flexible, and his humor made it difficult for anyone to dislike him.

It's fair to say that if Henry hadn't known what this "Madfak Man" would look like in the future, and the causal relationships he was involved in, he would have agreed that working under him was a good choice.

At least there's a boss above you who can provide shelter and protection, so you just need to do your job. For many people, this is very attractive. This is nothing more than the so-called charismatic personality of a leader.

For example, if circumstances permit, the other party will come to pick them up in a jet...

Henry stopped the car as he watched the small, silver-white twin-engine experimental jet descend vertically before him.

The rear hatch of the Quinjet opened, and Nick Fury, holding an orange cat, waved to the people in the car, saying, "Get in. You're not planning to escape the pursuers in that beat-up car, are you?"

Although Barbara in the passenger seat didn't say anything, her expectant eyes betrayed her thoughts.

Henry didn't hesitate much between following or not. If he went along, he would have a chance to meet with the Skrulls general, Talos, who was also Director Kohler, who had previously sent Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to take him and Barbara down.

I was hoping to get some information from the Skrulls. Should I confront their big boss directly, or stay by Captain Marvel's side, since they have something to ask of me? At least I'd have a chance to talk to them.

Hopefully, my intervention won't cause the Skrulls ' appeasement strategy to turn into a full-scale attack. Perhaps I can also use this opportunity to test the waters between the Kryptonian and the Skrulls.

What If...? the situation were to escalate, wouldn't that prove that the Kryptonian posed a greater threat to the Skrulls than they originally intended?

According to his memories from before his time travel, Talos was actually looking for his family hiding on the Kree scientist's spaceship. If he was truly willing to sacrifice his family to kill the Kryptonian, Henry would have to seriously consider returning to Alaska to live in seclusion.

What heinous things have we Kryptonian done to deserve such wrath that other aliens prioritize killing us the moment they see us? Could the Kree be doing the same?

To find out more, Henry nodded to Barbara and pulled the car over to the side of the road.

The two opened the car doors and got out together. Barbara angrily stepped forward to complain to Nick Fury. Henry opened the back door and let Kitty get out and follow.

Walking with a Tiger right next to your feet, that's incredibly classy; anyone who sees it would be envious.

Initially, Nick Fury was holding an orange cat, perhaps hoping to use its cuteness to counter Fury's fierceness. But now, seeing Henry and Kitty walking by, he suddenly felt that the orange cat in his arms was no longer appealing.

It's said that animals are almost incapable of speaking human language, and they are extremely sensitive to human emotions. When Nick Fury, who was holding the orange cat, suddenly changed his mood, the cat bared its teeth and struggled.

Nick Fury wasn't paying attention and let the orange cat in his arms break free. But seeing that the cat was walking towards the inside of the plane, not running out, he wasn't worried about the kitten. Instead, he joked, "Kitty doesn't eat my Goose."

A cat named Goose? Are you serious?

"The little guy's owner named it, and that's what hangs around its neck. I can't just change its name to Chewie because I feel like it."

"Look at your foul mouth! Did Stan Lee bless you? You even know the original comic book name of this cat. "Henry looked at Nick Fury with a strange expression.

Seeing the Old Black, I felt something was off. I quickly made way for him and gestured with my expression, "Are you coming up or not?" It can only be said that the Old Black's glaring expression, due to the stark contrast between black and white, looked even more vivid and expressive.

Henry, of course, took Kitty with him when they boarded the experimental twin-engine jet.

The Quinjet, which will later become standard issue for S.H.I.E.L.D.., is essentially an enhanced version of the helicopter. It has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities and is primarily used for troop transport and logistics, but it also possesses the flight speed of a jet.

As an experimental Quinjet, it already resembled the future Quinjet, with a similar general layout, but the Quah was larger.

As for the internal details, Henry began a thorough investigation from the moment he boarded the plane.

He still had the Iowa class battleships and the USS Missouri's modernized design blueprints in his mind. Quinjet —military-grade equipment—was something you couldn't find in a library or university.
