Chapter 3 Attack on S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Have the virus and germ tests been completed?" Howard sat at the door of the testing hall with an anxious face. When he saw the doctor walking out, he immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Mr. Howard, the test has been initially completed. No unknown viruses, bacteria or microorganisms have been found yet, but..."

The doctor adjusted his glasses and was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by Howard: "Stop, stop, stop, no buts, doctor. Since the test has passed, I should be able to adopt him."

"According to the law, as long as you submit an application, you can adopt him." The doctor shut his mouth very wisely. He was just a doctor, but he did not have the guts to defy a powerful figure in SHIELD.

"That's good." Howard nodded, "Can I go in now?"

"It's okay, it's just that the child is sleeping, so you'd better be gentle." The doctor stepped aside.

"Jarvis, help me prepare a car to go home, and find someone to help me draft an adoption application." Howard walked into the examination room, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and stuck his head out again, "Oh, by the way. By the way, help me think of a reason to deal with Maria."

Jarvis looked unhappy, nodded angrily, and walked to the garage.

……

"Ms. Nurse, can I pick up this child?" Standing next to Li Ji was a nurse, who kept writing on the record board with a pen, not knowing what he was recording.

"It's Mr. Howard. You can take him away now. I'm just recording data routinely." The nurse walked aside and continued to record data with her head lowered.

"There is nothing abnormal about the child's physical examination." Howard picked up the sleeping Li Ji, rubbed Li Ji's face with his beard, and asked.

"Except for the obvious growth of hair and the atavistic phenomenon of having a tail, there is nothing too abnormal." The female nurse paused and stopped writing, "If I must say, his brain wave reaction and The cell activity is much higher than that of people of the same age, which can be considered an abnormality."

"In other words, this child will be smarter and healthier than his peers, right?" Howard smiled.

"How did you know?" The nurse looked surprised.

"I'm a professional." Howard laughed. The laughter woke up Li Ji and looked at Howard with an unhappy face.

"Let's go home." Howard rubbed Li Ji's face with his beard again. Li Ji felt that if he wasn't strong enough now, he would definitely slap Howard.

……

"It's strange, why Jarvis hasn't come here yet." At the gate of the base, Howard looked at the time on his watch. He had been waiting at the gate for ten minutes, but the familiar vehicle hadn't arrived yet. Li Ji was already a little hungry. , but he still held back and didn't cry. This place looked like some kind of secret base, and it didn't look like there would be a feeding bottle. He just wanted to leave here quickly and completely get rid of the possibility of being sliced.

"Beep, beep, beep." Howard's walkie-talkie rang.

"They still use radios. Is it so retro? This can't be some local armed organization, a private warlord base that is thirty years behind mainstream society." Li Ji couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Hey, Jarvis, why haven't you come over yet? Do you want me to wait until Easter?" Howard said with some dissatisfaction. Although he didn't have much experience in raising children, he could still tell that Li Ji was hungry. SHIELD doesn't lack anything, but it really doesn't have baby bottles or milk powder.

"Mr. Howard, please return to S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately. The Brotherhood of Mutants has taken control of the underground garage. It is not yet clear whether they are a demonstration attack or have a follow-up attack plan. Please enter the protection area immediately!" Jarvis said His voice was a little panicked and low, and Howard could tell that he was speaking under his breath.

"Damn it, didn't Charles say they were watching the Brotherhood of Mutants during this period?" Howard gritted his teeth, cursed secretly, and re-entered the base with Li Ji in his arms.

"Mikant Brotherhood? The name sounds like that kind of gang. Is this really an underground gang?" Li Ji felt miserable, and the expression on his face became melancholy. (The pronunciation of mutant in English is similar to Mikant)

"Don't be afraid, little one. Dad is very strong and will protect you."

Hearing Howard shamelessly call himself father, Li Ji's desire to slap him became even stronger.

……

"Warning, warning, enemy invasion, enemy invasion!" Howard had just carried Li Ji into a secret room when the warning in SHIELD rang.

"Damn, they're all a bunch of morons. It took them so long to react. The Brotherhood of Mutants also blocked radio communications. Who provided them with technical support!" Howard shook the radio that had lost its signal and pressed the button again. When he pressed the phone, which had also lost signal, his expression was a bit ugly.

The sound of gunfire outside was very noisy, and Li Ji felt a little scared when he heard it.

"Did I encounter a gang fight? Is Mercury retrograde these days? Yesterday I was hit in the face by a spaceship, and today I turned into a baby and encountered a gang fight? No, this is already a gunfight! I am still a child, I am so tired! "There is nothing wrong with Li Ji's idea. After all, he is just a little baby now.

"Is that guy Nick an idiot? He didn't realize it until the mutants invaded him. Really..." Howard was about to curse when he suddenly lowered his head and saw Li Ji in his arms. He stopped for a moment, with a look of displeasure on his face. Good-natured expression.

"I'm sorry, little baby, daddy lost his temper. It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter. I will take care of it. You stay in this room alone for a while while daddy goes out to protect you." Howard pinched Li Ji's face , kissed Li Ji on the forehead, "What a good baby."

"..." Li Ji felt speechless. Although it was good to hide in a safe place by himself, this place was a little too closed, especially after Howard went out and pressed the protection button to cover the house. With a layer of thirty-centimeter armored wall, Li Ji couldn't even hear the sound of fighting.

Howard walked out of the room and took out a delicate pistol from his coat. He pressed it against the wall and walked cautiously towards the center.

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. Central Hall.

"SHIELD, release our compatriots immediately. Our Brotherhood of Mutants never gives up on any of our mutant brothers. Release the mutants you captured immediately, otherwise we will carry out the second phase of the attack!" Standing in the middle of the hall A strong mutant, his hands turned into wolf claws, and there were arcs wrapped around his body. He was particularly difficult to provoke at first glance.
