Chapter 145 New nickname, First Sentinel! (23 full subscription required!)

It was already evening when Locke drove to the Quantico military base.

But he didn't come alone.

At the gate of the base, Locke showed the soldier at the gate his ID as the deputy director of the New York City operations of the Sentinel Secret Service, and looked at Stephanie sitting in the passenger seat: "Why are you following me?"

After hanging up the phone, he originally planned to come alone, but Stephanie followed him, and then opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Locke had no choice but to bring Stephanie with him.

After checking Locke's ID, the soldier at the gate of the base handed it back to Locke, saluted, and opened the warning bar to let him pass.

Locke drove into the base.

Soon.

He saw a familiar person at the door of a five-story building again.

"Commander Hill."

"Deputy Director Underwood."

After Locke got out of the car, he shook hands with Commander Maria Hill who was about to enter the building.

Nick Fury died while still serving as the Director of SHIELD. Maria Hill, the Commander and Deputy Director of SHIELD, must be present to confirm the situation.

"I thought you were not in Washington, otherwise I would have invited you for afternoon tea when I came back."

"I just came back from New York yesterday. I also thought you were in New York City, but I heard that you went back to Washington for the holidays."

"Haha."

Locke smiled, then glanced at Maria Hill, whose eyes fell on Stephanie, and then introduced each other.

"Tiffany, this is the Commander of SHIELD, Maria Hill."

"Commander Hill, this is Stephanie, Stephanie Malik."

Compared to Maria Hill, who needs to be introduced by a title, Stephanie does not need any title.

Because her last name, Malik, is the best title.

Maria Hill smiled and nodded at Stephanie.

"Hello, Ms. Malik."

"Commander Hill."

Maria Hill shook hands with Stephanie, then looked at Locke: "Let's go in together?"

Locke nodded and accepted Hill's invitation to go with him.

The three then walked into the five-story building in front of them.

Maria Hill walked side by side with Locke, while Stephanie lagged behind and walked on Locke's right side.

As they walked towards the innermost autopsy room, they whispered about the information they had.

Hill only glanced at Stephanie when Locke came over, and then he didn't pay attention to Stephanie.

Because he knew that Locke and Stephanie were ex-boyfriend and girlfriend.

The whole Washington DC knew what they should know.

However, although Hill didn't have such a big gossipy heart, she was still a little curious in her heart.

Rumor has it that Locke and Stephanie fell in love during college and broke up during college.

And it was Stephanie who proposed the breakup.

But now the two of them seem to be together again.

But soon, Hill solved the puzzle.

After Locke shared the information he had with Hill, he naturally shared the intelligence he had.

The radical Skrull invasion group kidnapped Gideon Malick and Stephanie Malick.

They disguised themselves as Stephanie Malick to meet Locke, trying to replicate their unsuccessful operation in New York City. By assassinating Locke, they provoked the anger of a certain whip and the anger of the Sentinel Secret Service, and finally forced SHIELD to give up Nick Fury.

What a pity.

How could a plan that failed the first time be successful the second time?

After listening to Hill, her expression suddenly became clear.

Then she thought of the scene in the last negotiation when Alexander, who was still trying to protect Nick Fury, suddenly gave in after receiving a phone call.

She was also present during the last negotiation before the holiday.

Nick Fury was recommended by Alexander Pierce, so it was normal for Alexander Pierce to protect Nick Fury.

Hill also thought it was quite normal, but what was abnormal was that Alexander Pierce loosened up after receiving the call.

So she was also very curious about the call, so after returning, she discovered Gideon Malik through a little technical means.

The relationship between Gideon and Alexander was also public.

Because Gideon's sponsorship of SHIELD was brought in by Alexander Pierce.

Originally, Hill thought that the two of them were in the same group.

But now?

After Hill listened to Locke's news that "Skrulls disguised as Stephanie made an appointment with Locke to assassinate him", she found that the rumor might be false.

Or the rumor has not been updated yet.

She glanced at Stephanie who was walking on Locke's right.

Obviously.

The two broke up, but it seems that they didn't break up.

If the two didn't break up, it seems that it can explain the motive of Gideon Malik's call to Alexander Pierce.

On one side is the investor, and on the other side is the son-in-law who is not in the public eye but does exist.

Who to help, no doubt.

Hill thought to himself.

Locke noticed the flash of surprise in Hill's eyes when Hill glanced at Stephanie.

He didn't know what Hill had in mind.

However, he didn't tell Alexander that the Skrulls disguised themselves as Gideon and called him not because he was hiding it, but because he felt it was unnecessary.

As they were talking.

The three of them had already arrived at the autopsy room.

At the door of the autopsy room stood two soldiers with live ammunition. After the three of them entered, they saw thirteen cold autopsy tables lined up in a row in the huge autopsy room.

The forensic doctor in a white coat was holding a cold blade with shining eyes, dissecting a half-blood Skrull.

A general with gray hair and a gray beard was standing aside, also concentrating on watching the forensic doctor's autopsy.

Next to the general stood a woman in a white coat who looked very young.

It was General Thaddeus Ross and his beloved daughter Betty Ross.

General Ross looked at Locke and others who came in from outside, and a smile appeared on his serious face. He walked over and shook hands with Maria Hill with a smile.

"Commander."

"General."

After the two shook hands, General Ross's eyes fell on Locke.

A hint of curiosity and quick thinking flashed across his tiger eyes.

Locke has already smiled and extended his hand: "General Ross, I am Locke, Locke Underwood."

In the past two years in the Sentinel Special Service, he has not had much contact with the military, so it is normal that General Ross does not know him.

Listening to Locke's introduction, Ross's expression suddenly became clear, and the smile on his face became more enthusiastic: "First Sentinel, I remember you."

First Sentinel?

What the hell is this, my new nickname?

General Ross looked at the confused Locke and explained: "The Sentinel Special Service has been thinking about it for so many years and has not got it, but you got it as soon as you made a move. Isn't this the First Sentinel!"

Locke suddenly realized that it was true.

After Ross finished speaking, he looked at Locke again, and then at Maria Hill.

"I thought your two families had a bad relationship."

"Fair competition, I never object."

Maria Hill explained with a smile, then glanced at Locke, and then looked at Ross: "Besides, Mr. Underwood is a very gentlemanly man."

Locke raised his eyebrows.

Not because of Hill's compliment, but because Stephanie behind him put her hand on his waist.

Locke changed the subject and said: "General, can I see Nick Fury's body?"

Ross glanced at Stephanie behind Locke, smiled, and looked at Locke: "Yes."

He knew Stephanie.

But...

It was a public place, and they were talking about business here, so he just nodded and then led Locke and Hill to one of the dissection tables.

It was eye-catching.

Nick Fury, wearing an eye patch, unshaven, and looking a little haggard, was lying quietly with his one eye closed.

There were four or five bullet holes on Nick Fury's chest.

He was really dead.

Locke looked at Nick Fury's body, raised his eyebrows, subconsciously reached out to confirm further, and then seemed to think of something, looking at General Ross beside him.

Ross smiled.

"Please."

"Thank you."

Locke thanked him, and then put his right hand on the tip of Nick Fury's nose.

Hmm.

No breathing.

And...

The smell is indeed human.

Hiss!

He's really dead.

Locke retracted his right hand, rubbed his fingers on the tip of his nose, and then walked towards the sink next to him, feeling a little empty in his heart.

After all, he had planned to send Nick Fury to hell as soon as Nick Fury stepped down.

As a result, he didn't wait for the news of Nick Fury's resignation, but waited for the news of Nick Fury's death.

But...

Locke, who had washed his hands again, turned around and looked at Nick Fury lying quietly on the dissection table again.

Although he had just confirmed it, he always felt that something was strange.

But he couldn't tell what was strange.

Smell?

Although Nick Fury's smell this time was a little different from the first time they met in New York City.

But it was only a little. Considering that Nick Fury had been imprisoned in the Quantico base for these days, it was normal for the smell to be different.

"General Ross."

"Yes."

"Dissect it."

"Yes?"

General Ross looked at Locke in surprise.

Although Maria Hill didn't say anything, she looked at Locke with a strong curiosity.

If she remembered correctly, there shouldn't be much hatred between Nick Fury and Locke.

But what hatred, what resentment, the person is dead, and you still want to dig him up.

Locke smiled slightly.

"General, the Skrulls can disguise themselves as humans. You don't want to see that Nick Fury is a Skrull in disguise, so it's better to dissect it to confirm, don't you think?"

"... Forensic doctor!"

"..."
