Chapter 32: Back Under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Radar!
Looking at the 'energy' sprawled all over the ground and then at Big Daddy and Hit-Girl nearby.
Despite feeling regretful for not recycling the 'energy' right before him for the first time, Qi Jun found it a pity.
He thought about scratching his head but instead touched the cowboy hat on his head.
Okay, I am still not used to it~
Speaking of which, this hat is also magical.
After all, Qi Jun conjured it using 0.9 energy.
Although it has no invincible magical properties, it has two artifact features that could drop jaws.
One is the self-cleaning feature. Mom no longer has to worry about the hat getting dirty!
The other is an adhesion feature that keeps it on the wearer's head unless actively removed by the wearer himself (it won't fall off even when flying~)
Enmmm, although the features are magical, after all, it's just a cowboy hat made of ordinary materials, and if it gets blown up or burned, it's naturally destroyed~
Of course, this cowboy hat was made initially so that Qi Jun wouldn't look like a bald boss when not wearing 'Rorschach's Mask of Forgetfulness.' It was never intended to have any other function.
.............
"Alright!"
"Let's get going!"
"It's too dangerous here!"
"We should leave this place as soon as possible and talk in a safe location!"
Not knowing if the containers filled with smuggled crude oil would be affected, Qi Jun didn't dare to stay any longer.
Let alone the explosives and mines that Qi Jun had already planted everywhere. Just consider if those oil-filled containers were impacted, ignited, or exploded!
Well, this dock would almost instantly turn into a fiery scene.
Plus, there are explosives, especially those planted in some structural supports of the buildings.
Ho ho ho~~~
This dock would turn into an inferno in an instant!
.............
But Qi Jun knows this doesn't mean Big Daddy and Hit-Girl are aware!
Especially Hit-Girl, whose outlook on life, values, and worldview have been entirely skewed by Big Daddy.
She didn't want to leave at all!
"Wow~ Wow~~ Wow~~~"
"So much money!"
"So many guns!"
"So many bullets!"
"So many grenades!"
Watching little Hit-Girl transform into a money-hungry sprite, fluttering among a pile of 'energy,' Qi Jun was instantly shocked!
Hiss~~~
Whoosh~~~
Watching Big Daddy, who seemed eager to jump into the fray, Qi Jun almost retreated into himself!
My God!
Our lives are at risk, and you still care so much about these things?
Luckily, Qi Jun knew that Big Daddy and Hit-Girl were unaware of the reasons, or else they would have cursed out loud!
"Let's go!"
"Stop picking stuff up!"
"I just made a round inside the dock."
"The whole dock is rigged with mines and explosives!"
"Do you think those things are there for fun?"
"These things can be obtained anytime, but once you lose your life, what good are they?"
"Hurry up and drop them!"
"Follow me, and let's get out of here!"
Sputtering and in a low roar, Qi Jun stepped forward, grabbed Hit-Girl's hand, and left.
However, Big Daddy, who had already raised his gun, and Hit-Girl, who was about to counterattack, were momentarily stunned when they heard Qi Jun's rapid rant.
The little girl and her father exchanged glances.
They thought about it.
This guy wearing a mysterious, moving mask had just saved them; he probably wouldn't deceive them.
And seeing the masked man's actions, it seemed like he was fleeing. Could it be that the dock was filled with explosives everywhere?
When did black-market dealings ever involve such a large setup?
Big Daddy and Hit-Girl looked at each other.
He doesn't seem like a bad guy, considering he saved us.
And indeed, these items can be obtained anytime.
So? Follow him first and leave? Discuss safety later.
After exchanging glances, Big Daddy and Hit-Girl suddenly felt safety was most important!
"Alright!"
"Let's go!"
"But once we get to a safe place, you must tell us who you are!"
As always brutal, Big Daddy followed suit but couldn't resist snapping back.
Honestly, such a distinctive mask will surely be remembered once seen.
Seeing how he seemed familiar with himself and Mindy, um, familiar with the street hero guise, he must have known about the two of them.
But Big Daddy knew nothing about this guy, which made him very curious about Qi Jun's identity.
"Okay~ okay~ okay~"
"Can you guys hurry up?"
"If it explodes later, will you still have so much to say?"
Qi Jun responded casually, feeling little Mindy's struggle subside. He then let go of her hand and started running on his own.
Leading people on the run, indeed, is a very troublesome thing!
But the departing trio did not notice that, just at their hiding spot, there was a pinhole camera and even a sound collector, both in working condition!
.............
At S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, the Triskelion, still in the operation command hall
Initially, the world knew him as the infamous Nick Fury because of a two-dollar issue.
Err, okay.
The current director of S.H.I.E.L.D. -- Nick Fury, watched the projection of Hulk running at high speed toward the north. Or rather, running and jumping away quickly, escaping from Thunderbolt Ross.
At some point, without anger to sustain him, he transformed from a vast green hulk into a skinny man wearing stretchy shorts and a bare torso.
For all the world, he looked like an overinflated blow-up doll that had leaked air. No matter how many times you saw it, it was still... hilarious!
Of course, that's not the point!
Watching the confused skinny man, the infamous Nick Fury suddenly realised that the projection in front of him had been switched! Again!
Hiss~~~
Whoosh~~~
Having already experienced this once, the infamous Nick Fury took a deep breath this time, managing to suppress his anger.
But he thought to himself, he needed to send that damn operator to war-torn Afghanistan! To hell with fending for himself!
Me! Nick Fury is very stingy!
