Chapter 979 The Eve of War

SHIELD, in the command room of the Helicarrier.

Many screens in the command room light up, most of them monitoring an area from multiple directions.

The location of Stark Group's Ark reactor within a radius of twenty kilometers.

Hill was paying attention to adjusting the position of each combat position and operating the helicarrier's gun muzzle in a timely manner. The keyboard and Hill's voice kept ringing in the command room.

Nick Fury was wearing a black windbreaker, standing in the center of the command room, with a stern face and a calm eye. He was nervously rolling an Ace of Spades playing card in his hand.

Natasha came to the command room wearing combat tights, dusty and tired, and saw the back of Nick Fury. She turned to a few surveillance cameras and saw the turbulent scene in front of the Capitol Square. The crowd held flags supporting Hale and looked moved.

"Director, do you really not need to assist BOSS?" Natasha frowned slightly and said seriously: "Only one-third of the electors are awake, and the number of votes is too far behind. We will lose the presidential competition."

She had just returned from the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which was captured by Loki's mind-controllers. Faced with Loki's ability to control other people's minds more and more easily, she felt like she was in an earth-shaking cage that she could not escape from. It became increasingly difficult to escape. Take advantage of this competition.

In particular, Loki has used the newly developed psychic LAN ability. Almost everyone controlled by Loki's mind can let him jump in the minds of others, and release mind control again from a distance to control others.

If you are not careful, Loki can easily jump into the mind of a person who is being controlled by the mind, remove other people's mind disruptors, and control the target's mind again.

Very difficult to deal with.

This was the case with the USS Theodore Roosevelt. The commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt had already been restored to consciousness by a mind disruptor.

Unexpectedly, his adjutant was mind-controlled by Loki, jumped into his mind, controlled his body, directly removed the mind disruptor, and once again mind-controlled the USS Theodore Roosevelt.

This mission could almost be said to be a complete failure, with no results whatsoever.

And this kind of failed missions still happened frequently in the past few months.

"Haier has done better than anyone else, it's us who have dragged him down." Nick Fury shook his head and said regretfully: "We are not fast enough to compete with those who are controlled by Loki's mind. Totally unable to help Haier."

During the months of constant electoral competition, Hall's ceded benefits and speeches mobilized the crowd almost like a prairie fire, almost turning the people into a huge cult.

Hale's public support far exceeds that of any previous presidential candidate.

But the forces behind them, when they were competing with Loki for the elector's sobriety, they stretched their legs.

They did not win many electors from Rocky. More than two-thirds of the Electoral College was still controlled by Rocky.

What's more, some ace agents transferred from other countries, when they were not familiar with Loki's mind control, had fallen victim to Loki's mind control one by one, and had no choice but to suffer huge casualties.

Although other countries do not understand it so clearly, they also know that this country is facing an attack by aliens.

The only thing they rely on is Haier to stabilize other countries.

If Hal is elected president and shares controllable nuclear fusion, everyone will naturally be happy.

It would be intriguing if Hale was not elected.

If Hal loses this presidential election, then the earth can officially declare that it has entered the stormy eve of World War III.

On the surface, it was Hale and Loki's transformed Evans, and Secretary of State Yolanda Priscus, running for president, but in fact, SHIELD put most of its power and military defense forces into They were all piled up within 20 kilometers of the Stark Group's Ark reactor to prepare for the opening of the space wormhole.

"So we don't give any support to the BOSS? We only pay attention to the Stark Group's Ark Reactor?" Natasha frowned.

This presidential election war has gone so far, and in the end, Hall is left to fight alone?

"I understand your concerns, Agent Romanoff." Nick Fury stopped the turning Ace of Spades playing card in his hand, pinched the Ace of Spades playing card heavily with his fingers, crumpled the card, and said calmly: "It's Haile's arrangement."

"He believes that Loki's time has come. When the results of the presidential election are announced, the inner cycle of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube will be released, opening a space wormhole, and welcoming the alien army to invade the earth.

If Hal is elected president, it will only prove that Hal has defeated Loki again. Loki will refuse to admit defeat and think that the presidential election is just a game to hide the truth from others, and he will open a space wormhole in ridicule.

If Hal loses, Loki will shout wildly that he is the king of the world, open a space wormhole, and let the alien army trample the earth, making him the real king of the world. "

"So Loki's real purpose is to draw everyone's attention to the presidential election and take the opportunity to open a space wormhole?" Natasha asked.

"I don't know." Nick Fury had one eye and was calm. He casually held the crushed Ace of Spades playing card in his hand, rolled it up into a ball, and threw it into the trash can. "But I believe in Hal. He had a way of dealing with Loki, so during this period, most of his power was used to defend the Cosmic Cube.

Let's go, Agent Romanoff. "

Nick Fury looked at Natasha with one eye.

Now they can no longer take care of the presidential election and can only let Haier handle it.

The Cosmic Rubik's Cube that Haile specifically stated to pay attention to is what they should be vigilant against.

After Nick Fury finished speaking, Hawkeye, who had already tidied up, came to the command room and gestured to Natasha.

Natasha nodded to Nick Fury, turned around, and left the command room with Hawkeye, boarded the Quinjet, and headed for the Stark Group's Ark reactor.

The Ark Reactor, which is close to the Stark Group, can already be seen from high in the sky. Giant cannons and weapons of various types are prepared here. There is a strict military ban on entry. You can see how seriously they take this reminder from Haer. .

The Quinjet parked on the vacated tarmac. Natasha and Hawkeye got off the Quinjet and soon joined Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Thor, and Peter. Parker and others met.

Everyone was wearing a suit, adjusted to the most suitable preparation for their own battle. The atmosphere of an impending war made even Peter Parker hold back his chatter.

Each of them has a physique and armor that exceeds that of ordinary humans. They will serve as a vanguard and attack the headquarters or leader of the alien army when the alien army invades.

In addition, War Machine James Rhodes, Falcon Wilson Sam, Punisher Frank Cassel, Bullseye, Kingpin and others were invited to serve as the replacement vanguard of the second echelon and assist the first echelon's vanguard in the assault. .

Wait for the storm to come.
