Chapter 221: Run! Sky!

Nick Fury was silent for a moment on the phone. Then he said, “The new three motherships seem to be almost finished.”

“What? Didn’t you say it would take two years? It’s only been a year.” Wesley asked in surprise.

“Originally, I planned to delay the issue of weapons, but Alexander Pierce actually agreed. The mothership did not pretend to have a large number of weapons. The weapon configuration is the same as the active one. The main assembly has been completed and the internal installation is very fast. They actually found a large number of finished equipment. It seems that Hydra has done a lot of preparation.”

“Then I have to speed up the process. Do we attack when the mothership is completed or before?” Wesley asked.

“Let’s do it before. Recently, I’ve been busy arranging for the personnel transfer from the headquarters. We’ll try to transfer our people out of the headquarters and send them to the New York branch. I want to form a large-scale armed force there and attack the headquarters directly. However, the other branches haven’t thought of a way yet.”

“I do have a way, but it will take some time to prepare. I will tell you when it is done. It can ensure the safety of the branch staff.”

“Oh? Then I’m relieved. Now I’ll leave Phil’s matter to you. Any clues?”

“Yes, but we don’t know who he met with now. If we find Phil, then the person who met with him will definitely be exposed. We don’t know what the impact will be.” Wesley was worried about this. If the person exposed is of a high level, then there is no guarantee that the other party will act early.

“I’ll check and see who left the headquarters at that time. I’ll let you know.”

“Okay.” Wesley hung up and returned to the conference room.

While Sky and the other two were still searching, Wesley stood and watched carefully. Then Apple began to organize and analyze the information he saw. The conference room was very quiet. After a while, Melinda May came back. “Wesley, headquarters wants to send someone to help us rescue Phil.”

Wesley frowned. “Who gave the order?”

“John Garrett, he will come here with Victoria Hand. They brought a lot of people with them,” Melinda May said.

“Tell them that we don’t need their support here. Our team can complete this rescue mission.” Wesley wanted to refuse directly. If John Garrett came, they would be restrained.

“John Garrett is a level eight agent, and he took over here with full force,” Melinda May answered.

Wesley took out his phone and called Nick Fury again. “Someone is taking over the flight base. It’s John Garrett,” Wesley said directly.

“I know. I wanted to refuse, but he said that he and Phil were friends who had gone through thick and thin. I couldn’t refuse his request, so I asked Victoria Hand to follow him. Isn’t she trustworthy?”

“The point is, she seems to trust John Garrett more, right?”

“Then I’ll order you to be in charge of this operation. Although you’re only a level-seven agent, you still have the identity of an Avenger. They can’t control you. What do you think? Maybe we can catch John Garrett directly this time.”

Wesley rolled his eyes. “Maybe. Let’s see. If we can, maybe we can catch him.” Wesley put down the phone. He had dialed from the living room. No one else had heard what he had said.

Wesley sat on the sofa and thought about it. Then he got up and went to the third floor again, to Phil Coulson’s office, and then opened the safe here. Only he and Phil Coulson could open the safe here. There was an ID inside, which was prepared for Sky, although it was only a first-class agent qualification.

Originally, Phil Preparation had been a first-class agent’s ID, but Wesley had been very satisfied with Sky’s training and had wanted her to take the test and fight for third-class clearance. But now it seemed that she would have to use this first.

Back on the second floor, Wesley said directly, “Skye, this is what Phil prepared for you. Although you are only a first-class agent, from now on, you are officially a member of SHIELD.”

Sky was surprised to see her ID. She opened it and saw that it was her official ID. The photo should have been taken when she was first caught. The SHIELD badge was as smooth as new.

“Why are you giving it to me now?” Sky asked in surprise.

“The specific situation is not suitable to say now. Pack up and leave the plane immediately. We will tell the public that you have been driven out, understand? Bring your equipment, including weapons. Fitz and Simons prepare something for Sky, immediately.” Fitz and Simons were stunned, then they understood and ran directly to the first floor.

Wesley came to Sky’s side and hugged her gently. “We will send you a message. Your job is to find Phil. Do you understand?”

“There are Hydra people among the people coming, right?” Sky asked.

“Yes, so we will be very passive here. But you are different. No one will notice you. You are not a professional agent, and they don’t know you, so you are the most convenient one to move around. Be careful.” Wesley kissed her forehead gently.

Sky nodded, then went back to her things and packed everything up. She looked as if she had been swept out of the house. The first floor had a lot of things that Fitz and Simons had prepared for her, including combat clothes and weapons.

Sky left and Wesley watched her walk out of the base before turning back to the conference room. “There are Hydra members among the people who came this time. You have to stay natural, understand? If Fitz and Simmons can’t act, then keep yourself busy and look for clues.”

“Understood. We’ll go now.” Fitz and Simons ran straight to the lab.

Wesley turned back to Melinda and said, “Secure control of the plane.”

Melinda nodded and returned to the pilothouse. She didn’t care how Wesley did it. He wasn’t called Knight for nothing. Everything was ready. It didn’t take long for several large transport helicopters to land on the base. Wesley stood at the rear cargo door waiting for them to arrive. John Garrett and Victoria Hand, who were in the lead, came to him.

“Agent Wesley Gibson, we meet again.” John Garrett directly reached out his hand. Wesley shook his hand and wanted to stay a little longer and let the apple invade his brain, but he let go and Victoria Hand also reached out.

Wesley had no choice but to let go. “Welcome. We don’t need backup, but I’m glad you’re here. I think Director Nick Fury already said that.”
