Chapter 148 The Blocked Mutant Laboratory (25, please order all!)

As we all know.

The previous deputy director of the state operations was found out because of collusion with mutants.

And the direct action team directly obeys the deputy director of operations.

Simply put.

This direct action team that can recruit 20 people can be said to be the private armed force of the deputy director of operations.

They follow the deputy director of operations just like the assistant operations team leader and assistant information team leader who belong only to the deputy director of operations.

But now, the previous deputy director of operations has been exposed, and naturally, this direct action team can't escape the relationship.

Of course.

The most important thing is that the previous deputy director of operations committed suicide out of fear of crime, and a lot of intelligence has not been obtained.

This is not it.

The angry sentinels naturally targeted this direct action team and took them all back to the mutant laboratory for strict interrogation.

In the eyes of the sentinels, you are not a mutant, but you collude with mutants, then, it is almost equivalent to you being a mutant.

"So... I don't have any action team members?"

"Not really."

Debbie said from the side: "Boss, you forgot that you still have a special action team."

In principle, the special action team code-named "Super God" formed by Locke years ago should have disappeared after Locke was promoted to deputy director of state operations.

But...

This is the principle, but Locke himself can be said to be the principle.

So!

Locke can say that he is the first deputy director of operations to have two direct action teams since the establishment of the New York State Sentinel Special Service.

But this can't change the fact that there is only one member in the two action teams with a full staff of 40 people.

And that member is a relative who is seriously biased in one subject.

Locke suddenly thought of the twelve people outside.

"The members of the action team were all pulled to the mutant laboratory for research, so why weren't the twelve people outside pulled there?"

"They are official sentinels."

"Officially..."

Locke listened to Debbie's answer and opened his mouth.

Okay.

They are indeed official sentinels.

After all, the names of those people outside don't have the word "special" in them.

Of course.

The official here does not refer to the kind with a system, but to the fact that they are as ordinary as the mass Sentinel agents on other floors.

Unlike Debbie and Jack.

They are senior special Sentinel agents.

Senior Sentinel agents that belong to Locke alone.

Locke is glorious, they are glorious.

If Locke is down, they may also be down, of course, they may also be sent to the Sentinel warehouses across the country to look after the warehouses.

"So, I'm a commander without troops?"

"Uh..."

Jack and Debbie looked at each other.

Locke shook his head.

"Not including you and Blade."

"In fact, at the beginning, the members of the direct action team were detained. Later, it was Director Andrew who called, and then the sentinel took them to do research."

"Andrew?"

"Yeah."

Debbie nodded and looked at Locke: "Boss, I heard from a friend at the headquarters that this seems to be your request. They said that you told Director Andrew that you would clean up the internal affairs first after you took office."

This is also the reason why the twelve people outside saw Locke coming in and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

In addition to leaving a good impression on Locke, the most important thing is not to become the target of cleansing by Locke, the newly appointed deputy director of operations.

See.

There are no secrets in Washington, and secrets cannot be kept.

Only Locke and Director Andrew were present in the conversation that day, but the news still came out.

Locke was speechless.

He told Director Andrew that he needed to spend half a year to clean up the internal affairs.

But...

He didn't ask Director Andrew to just throw away the direct action team. At least leave two for me.

Now, the direct action team was packed up and sent to the mutant laboratory by Director Andrew.

His reputation has also deteriorated.

He didn't even think about using it. Before he took office, there was a rumor that he was going to purge. Then Director Andrew packed up the previous action team and sent it to the mutant laboratory the next second. Although it was not his intention, others would not think so.

Such actions fell into the eyes of others.

It's like...

The new president, after taking office, directly vetoed everything done by the previous president.

Fortunately, the former deputy director of the Sentinel was dead, not promoted.

Otherwise, this hatred would be huge.

Locke's thoughts turned and he sighed.

At this time.

Jack looked at Locke's expression and suggested, "Boss, how about recruiting members of the action team?"

Locke came back to his senses, looked at Jack, thought about it, and nodded, "Okay, you pick them first."

If Brown hadn't switched to Group 6, there is no doubt that he would have given Brown the quota for this direct action team.

Unfortunately, that guy was blinded by hatred and only wanted to kill mutants.

If he and Group 6 continued to kill like this, he would probably be close to death.

But it had nothing to do with him.

The most he could do at that time was to go to Brown's grave, give Brown a flower, and wish him and his wife reunited in hell.

Locke thought in his mind and looked at Jack: "But don't rush the recruitment. You first go to the banks in New York that were stolen to understand the specific situation."

"Okay." Jack nodded.

He definitely can't travel across the entire state by himself, but if it's just New York City, there's still no problem.

After Locke finished explaining, he turned around and pushed away his own office.

Enter the eyes.

Large and bright floor-to-ceiling windows.

A desk customized by a top Italian designer takes center stage.

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

There are also various documents. Debbie has sorted them into categories and put them away.

On the left side of the office is a well-designed rest area.

There is a soft Italian leather sofa and a glass coffee table, on which are placed several internationally renowned financial magazines and a bottle of freshly opened high-end champagne.

Locke walked over and looked at the note on the premium champagne.

Enter the eyes.

"Congratulations on your promotion, boss!"

"..."

Locke looked at the message on the note, seemed to think of something, and turned to look at the door.

Debbie and Jack were looking at Locke who was holding champagne. When Locke noticed them, he walked in directly, and then each of them held a fireworks tube and opened it directly.

"Bang!"

"Congratulations, boss."

"Congratulations, boss."

Debbie and Jack, who just saw that Locke did not send congratulations, now happily sent their own congratulations on their boss's promotion.

Locke looked at the flying ribbons and various colorful small objects, and then looked at the heartfelt smiles and congratulations on Jack and Debbie's faces, and couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, the meaning of hard work seemed to be embodied.

But there is a moment to celebrate, don’t take celebration as permanent.

Director Andrew said that if the mutant who stole the bank vault and was suspected of teleportation was not caught and brought to justice within half a year, he would still be demoted.

Fortunately, he just used this "bank theft case" as an excuse to delay the next "mutant cleanup operation".

The most important point.

Now that the new year is over, he can go to the mutant laboratory.

Just do it if you think of it.

After Locke had a glass of celebratory champagne with Debbie and Jack, and after Jack and Debbie went out to work, he also sat on his brand new leather chair, picked up the phone, and called Director Andrew.

The new year is over, what about the promise that he can go to the mutant laboratory after the new year?

The call was answered quickly.

"Locke."

"Director!"

Locke went straight to the point: "Director, where is my mutant laboratory license."

As mentioned before, the mutant laboratory headed by Colonel William Stryker is a secret among secrets even within the Sentinel Secret Service.

With Locke's current position, this secret is naturally no longer a secret to him.

but……

Except for Colonel William Stryker's people, anyone else who wants to go to the mutant laboratory needs a special permit.

This permit requires Director Andrew’s signature to take effect.

"Sorry." Director Andrew was stunned for a moment when he heard that Locke was here to ask for a special permit, and then said sorry.

Locke was dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Colonel William Stryker refused to let me in. There's no reason for that."

"No, the mutant laboratory is blocked."

"Um?"

Locke was stunned when he heard this reason: "Blockade, the laboratory was found by mutants?"

"almost."

"Well……"

"But not by the mutants, but by the Skrulls."

"What the hell?"

Locke was shocked.

Director Andrew, who only received this information at work today, rubbed his eyebrows.

"You said that after you came to power, you had to clean up the house first before you could free up your hands to find the mutants suspected in the bank theft. So I simply asked the sentry to take all the new action teams to the mutant laboratory. You should know about it. Bar."

"..."

It's okay not to say this. As soon as he said this, he thought of the fact that he became a polished commander after taking office.

But not before Locke complained.

The next second.

Director Andrew then sighed and said: "The mutant laboratory found three mixed-race Skrulls among the twenty people."

Locke took a breath when he heard this.

"Three? Real or fake?"

"Did you forget that we got several half-Skrull bodies from Quantico?"

"I haven't forgotten."

"We are on vacation. Colonel Stryker is not on vacation. No, he used the genetic samples extracted from those hybrid Skrulls and integrated them into the X-energy detector to make several possible tests. Mutants can also detect new products from the Skrulls."

"It just so happened that the twenty operational team members arrived that day, so Colonel Stryker wanted to give it a try."

"result……"

"..."
