New Staff of S. H. I. E. L. D. - Chapter 193
Chapter 193: Random Door Cannot Be Opened
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Standing on the cold plain, Wesley once again controlled the space gem to output energy. A new space door opened, but Wesley closed it as soon as it opened a little.
As soon as the portal opened, Wesley saw what was happening on the other side. A group of soldiers was patrolling. Fortunately, their backs were to the portal. Wesley himself was shocked. It seemed that he could not open the door at will!
There was no way to know where the other side would be when he opened the spatial door. He might encounter some danger. It was completely unknown. Wesley had always thought that this ability was very useful, but now he did not dare to use it recklessly.
“It was really dangerous just now. If the other side was facing me, they might have shot me,” Wesley and Apple said.
“It is indeed a little dangerous. There is still 30 kilometers to go. Do you want to walk there? There are still eight hours before the mission is completed and an hour before it gets dark,” Apple said.
“I’ll continue to try. This time I need to control my strength and try to appear outside the other party’s base.” Wesley took a deep breath and the space door opened again. This time the situation on the other side was much better. When he didn’t see anyone, Wesley stepped in.
After coming to the other side and observing that there was no one around, Wesley took out his locator again, turned it on, and closed it.
“Twenty kilometers this time, ten kilometers away from the target. There is no problem with the direction,” Wesley said after looking.
“Are you still going to use the portal?” Apple asked.
“Well, it would be a waste not to use such a good practice opportunity. I don’t know when I’ll have the chance to try again when I go back, but how did Loki open the Space Door? It happened to be in front of the Chitari army, and how did he open the Cosmic Cube on the other side when he came to Earth?” Wesley was very puzzled.
“You have to explore this yourself, or let Loki tell you. However, according to my probability analysis, the most likely possibility is that his scepter can communicate with the space gem. Don’t forget, there is also a wisdom gem in the scepter.”
“That makes sense. So where is the scepter now? Why did I forget this?”
“The scepter is in S.H.I.E.L.D., but according to the development of the original cosmic movie, it will eventually fall into Hydra’s hands. Otherwise, the twins would not have appeared.”
“Interesting, then we won’t care. Let’s open a door now.”
Wesley began to concentrate again, and then he let the space gem output energy. Now he had some experience in opening a space door. The energy output of opening space is fixed, but the gap between the distance is not easy to control.
The energy level of the space gem was too high. Any more output would cause a difference of several kilometers. This was not a joke. If Wesley did not control it well, he would immediately run more than ten kilometers away. Without being familiar with the situation, Wesley had to be completely focused on controlling the energy output.
There was not enough time. Otherwise, he was confident that he would be able to grasp the general idea in a few days. Now, he could only focus infinitely.
The portal reappeared, but Wesley stopped again because the view was wrong. This time, he wanted to pass five kilometers, but the view was too different from where he was now, so he closed it.
After adjusting his state, he activated it again and closed it immediately. He saw the other party’s base again. The distance was about a few hundred meters, but there was still too much output. He could only continue to adjust.
“Phew…” Taking a few deep breaths, he recalled the feeling just now and tried to relax himself as much as possible. Then, he opened it again. This time, he didn’t hesitate and directly took a step in and fell to the ground.
About 1,000 meters ahead, there seemed to be a large factory. The sky was not completely dark yet. He did not know if the other party had discovered the movement of the spatial door. He took out the locator and opened it. Then, he looked at it and closed it immediately.
The satellite locator would flash every time S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters was activated, but the time was so short that it might not attract the other party’s attention, but Wesley did not dare to take the risk. However, he was not worried. The satellite adjustment would take time, and he did not stay long each time, so he was not afraid that the satellite would lock onto his position directly.
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Victoria Hand was arguing with Phil Coulson. There was no pickup team for this mission, and there was no announcement. Although Phil Coulson had guessed it, this did not calm his anger.
“I want to know why there is no retreat plan? My authority is level eight and I have the right to know this.” Phil Coulson stood in front of Victoria Hand and asked.
“I don’t think so, even if I told you it would make a difference. You’ve designed countless operations like that. You know how to plan the best,” Victoria Hand said.
“There’s usually a retreat plan.” Phil Coulson knew, of course, but there was always a retreat plan.
“Hawkeye and Black Widow have never had a retreat plan.”
“But they all knew this in advance, and this is Agent Wesley Gibson’s first time on this kind of mission, and you actually didn’t explain it to him. Fortunately, he didn’t bring Fitz with him, or he probably wouldn’t have been able to get out of it unscathed. I hope you understand his identity. If anything happens to him, you need to face the wrath of the Avengers yourself.”
“I don’t think the Avengers would question S.H.I.E.L.D. about something like this. After all, they are led by S.H.I.E.L.D.”
“Did Nick Fury tell you or did Maria Hill tell you? The latest comprehensive laboratory that Tony Stark invested in was built with Wesley and Bruce Banner. I witnessed Saul’s friendship with Wesley. Black Widow was saved by Wesley once, and when Hawkeye was controlled by Loki, it was Wesley’s plan that prevented him from making a huge mistake. Do you know all this?”
Victoria Hand froze. If something happened to Wesley Gibson, she would be in deep trouble. The Director would probably not help her. This was an operation she had planned independently.
“Although I have full confidence in Wesley to complete the mission, this does not explain the mistake you made. I will report this to headquarters.” Phil Coulson turned around and left. He was so strong not only because there was no evacuation plan, but also because he wanted to exonerate Sky and the others. The actions of the three of them were already a crime.
The Avengers Alliance was also brought out to intimidate them. Their team did not work in the headquarters. There was Hydra here. Although Victoria Hand was not a member of Hydra, it was inevitable that she would be used by others. It was better to intimidate her so that Hydra would not dare to act rashly.
