Chapter 1816: I feel a little better today, but the dull pain from the stone removal is so annoying (please give me a monthly ticket to comfort me!)
The agents were there to protect Old Curry, not to interfere with his life, so the action was extremely secretive, and Old Curry didn't even know that he was protected by twelve agents. In fact, there were indeed open agents protecting Old Curry before.
But the old man has been free all his life, and nothing can limit him except his love for his son. This cool old man insisted for three days and then strongly asked these people to leave. So later it became a secret protection.
The main focus of these agents is secrecy, and they are transferred every half a month to ensure that the twelve agents will not slack off. So generally speaking, these agents maintain a very high level of secrecy.
Orm is the king of Atlantis, which is very powerful. SHIELD can also understand Orm's ability through Arthur, but... strong combat power does not mean he is omnipotent. The agent's skills are not something a king or a warrior can understand.
So being able to kill those twelve elite agents in a short period of time without even giving them a chance to ask for help can only mean one thing, that is, the murderer knows them very well!
And is there anyone who knows SHIELD better than Nick Fury?
Nick Fury's life trajectory can be said to be highly consistent with S.H.I.E.L.D. He joined the army when he was young, but because he was black, his future in the army was visible to the naked eye. He was able to become a colonel, and that was because the senior military officials were wise, open-minded, wise, generous and humble... Of course, the whole United States knows what those bastards in the US military are like.
So Nick Fury retired and went to the CIA. After working for a while, he was exposed to extraordinary powers and was recruited by Ms. Carter to join S.H.I.E.L.D. He started as a low-level agent and grew up with S.H.I.E.L.D. step by step!
It can be said that no one knows S.H.I.E.L.D. better than Nick Fury.
How happy SHIELD was when he was the director of SHIELD. How uncomfortable SHIELD was when he became a traitor to SHIELD!
They want to kill Nick Fury, not only to eliminate the shame, but also to eliminate the threat! Once Nick Fury cooperates with some terrorist organizations and leaks all the intelligence and methods of action of SHIELD that he has, the entire SHIELD will suffer a devastating blow!
So SHIELD has been trying to eliminate Nick Fury at all costs!
After all, this man has been in S.H.I.E.L.D. for decades and has been the director with the highest level of confidentiality for more than a decade. No one knows how many secrets he knows and how many secrets he has kept.
It’s not like SHIELD hasn’t thought about changing its behavior or simply starting over.
But these are simply unrealistic.
SHIELD has been running for decades, from scratch, and all the lessons learned are summed up through countless failures and blood. Whether it is training or various confidentiality methods, they are the result of the hard work of countless people. In addition, there are those secrets that SHIELD cannot change whenever it wants.
If all of these were really changed, would SHIELD still be SHIELD?
Putting all these aside, even if we really want to change it, it would be no less than rebuilding a S.H.I.E.L.D.
Not to mention the current SHIELD, even the SHIELD in Nick Fury's era couldn't do this!
The amount of resources consumed by SHIELD for it to survive to this day is astronomical!
So relatively speaking, it is more cost-effective to kill Nick Fury.
This is true no matter how high the cost.
"He is in cahoots with Orm?!!" Arthur was not stupid, he immediately made the connection.
Why else would Nick Fury come here? To retire here? No way!
But Arthur couldn't figure it out.
"Why is he targeting my father?!"
Arthur and Nick Fury were not familiar with each other, but if you had to say it, they were somewhat friendly. He had no need and no reason to target him!
Besides, what good would it be for him to be in league with Orm?
Did he think that Orm would care about what was happening on land? Or did this bastard have some evil plan? ! !
"Sir!!!"
At this time, someone shouted.
A group of people hurried over.
I thought there was some big discovery.
It turned out to be just a fish tank.
"Fish tank?!" The two senior agents' faces immediately fell. What's so special about a fish tank?
This fish tank is the most common one, a round fish tank, not big, and can only be used to raise goldfish. Many families will buy one for their children, raise two goldfish, and not feel bad if the fish die.
However, there is an octopus here, the highly poisonous blue-ringed octopus. The blue-ringed octopus belongs to the family Octopus, commonly known as the blue-ringed octopus. The leopard octopus is widely distributed in the Pacific Ocean between Japan and Australia. It is a very small octopus species with an arm span of no more than 15 cm. It can be fed with small fish, crabs, shrimps and crustaceans, and will paralyze its prey with a strong toxin (tetrodotoxin). In the ocean, the blue-ringed octopus is one of the highly poisonous creatures, and a bite from this small octopus can be fatal. But this octopus will not actively attack humans unless they are under great threat.
The blue-ringed octopus is one of the most poisonous octopuses in the world. There is currently no medical method to prevent the poison. The poison of one blue-ringed octopus can kill more than 1 people. The blue-ringed octopus kills people by releasing pufferfish toxin, which is a strong neurotoxin and is particularly deadly to humans with a nervous system. When attacked by an octopus, this toxin will interfere with its nervous system and cause nervous system disorders. When the toxin is injected into an organism, the toxin spreads rapidly and destroys the organism's life system. In the human body, the toxin of the blue-ringed octopus attacks all muscles controlled by the human brain. Although the attacked person is conscious, he cannot communicate or breathe. If artificial respiration is not performed, he will gradually suffocate to death.
But because the blue-ringed octopus is gentle and beautiful, it is still very popular in the pet market...especially in the United States. The United States is a magical land where you can raise anything. As long as your private property in the United States is private property with permanent use rights and is protected by law, within private territory, it is your business to raise anything, whether it is a pet or an exotic pet, but it cannot leave your land and cannot disturb your neighbors, otherwise they can go to court to sue you.
In different parts of the United States, you can own bears, chimpanzees, snakes, elephants, and giraffes, and it's all legal. There are several federal laws that govern the ownership of exotic animals, including the Endangered Species Act, the Lacey Act, and the Animal Welfare Act. States, cities, and counties also have different laws, some of which prohibit the ownership of exotic animals, while others may only require basic permits or licenses. Hawaii has some of the strictest animal laws in the country, but they are only meant to protect local flora and fauna.
So it's not surprising to see blue-ringed octopuses and fish tanks.
But Arthur's face changed drastically.
Because he can talk to marine life, his family never keeps aquatic life, because that would make Arthur feel strange. For Arthur, marine life in captivity is never very happy, they prefer to return to the ocean.
So their family never bought a fish tank.
Then there is something wrong with the fish tank that suddenly appears.
Of course, it is not ruled out that his father has let himself go. After all, he did this to accommodate Arthur before, but now that Arthur has moved away, he can naturally do whatever he wants.
However, Arthur felt that it was not that simple.
He took the fish tank and looked at the octopus. Then ripples began to spread!
Then the octopus spoke.
It reported a coordinate and told him to come alone!
Everyone also looked at Arthur. They were Arthur's colleagues, so they were quite familiar with Arthur's abilities.
He did not hide it: "It's a message from Om!"
Many agents looked over immediately.
"What did he say?"
"He took my father away and left me alone to find him."
Arthur didn't hide it either.
If it was before joining SHIELD, Arthur would be unwilling to tell other people about this. He is the kind of person who, if his family was kidnapped, would 100% listen to the kidnappers and would never call the police.
Firstly, he was afraid that the kidnappers would harm his family, and secondly, he believed in himself!
He is absolutely confident in himself. As long as he finds the kidnappers, he will definitely sink them all to the bottom of the sea!
But after joining S.H.I.E.L.D., he understood the power of the group, and S.H.I.E.L.D. could do many things that he could not do at all. It was not just because there were many people, but also because there were all kinds of high-tech that Arthur could not even describe, and all kinds of smart people helped him make plans.
The reason why SHIELD is still powerful now is because of the quality and strength of SHIELD itself, and no one in power can waste it.
These are the thoughts that Arthur had after working with S.H.I.E.L.D.
As your experiences change, your thinking will also change.
"What are the coordinates?"
Soon the agents found the coordinates using the coordinates Arthur gave them.
It is a small island in the center of the Pacific Ocean.
"Bouve Island?!"
“The loneliest island in the world?”
Bouvet Island is considered to be the island farthest from any continent in the world. It is a volcanic island located in the South Atlantic Ocean with an area of 58 square kilometers. The highest point is Mount Olaf, which is 945 meters above sea level. Bouvet Island is the Antarctic territory of Norway. How remote is Bouvet Island? The specific coordinates of this island are 54°26′S, 3°24′E, isolated in the South Atlantic Ocean. From the map, it is located between Antarctica and Africa, and it seems to be very close to both of them, but it is not. Bouvet Island is 1700 kilometers away from the Antarctic continent and 2500 kilometers from the southernmost tip of Africa. In addition, Bouvet Island is 2250 kilometers away from Tristan Island, which we mentioned earlier. It is close to Antarctica and the weather conditions on the island are very bad, so except for the occasional scientific expedition team members, no one lives on Bouvet Island.
Bouvet Island is 8 km long from east to west, 6.4 km wide from north to south, with an area of 58 square kilometers and a maximum altitude of 945 meters. It is composed of black lava and covered with ice. The coast is steep, with glaciers in the east, mosses in the north, and much bird droppings. There are no permanent residents. There are whaling stations and automatic weather stations.
The prevailing wind is northwest, with low wind speed. The highest temperature is in January, with an average temperature of 1°C; the lowest temperature is in September, with an average temperature of -3°C. The annual average temperature is -1°C. The weather conditions on the island are usually extremely bad, making it difficult to land on the island.
Apart from penguins and seals, there is basically nothing going there.
After the senior agent got the location, he immediately notified the bureau.
This kind of thing must be taken seriously. In fact, it is also related to the interests of the agents themselves. Someone may kidnap Arthur's family today. Can they be sure that no one will target their families in the future?
SHIELD must fight back with all its might against this kind of thing, otherwise anyone would dare to do this kind of thing, and then SHIELD would have nothing to do and everyone could just go home and be heroes.
In fact, it's not just SHIELD, it's the same with any violent agency. Once it involves harming someone inside the agency, the agency's counterattack will always be the most intense, otherwise no one will be afraid.
But Arthur is still worried. SHIELD can indeed do a lot of things, but everyone would like to have more helpers.
……
Kai and Atlanna were busy...well, actually Atlanna was busy.
As the mountain copper was stolen, many Atlanteans were very worried because these things were highly polluting!
The storage environment of mountain copper must be high pressure, and it is very sensitive to oxygen. If it is exposed to seawater, although the pollution will not burn like in the air, the pollution will spread as quickly.
But if the mountain copper and oxygen in the water slowly oxidize, the pollution caused will be more terrible than the pollution caused by burning.
It can be said to be highly poisonous!
This is the most important thing for the people of Atlantis, who value environmental protection more than their lives.
Everyone urged the government to recover the orichalcum and punish the murderer.
Because Mera arrested all the members of parliament and put them in jail, Atlanna was so busy that she was dizzy and confused, but she still couldn't govern the entire country.
There is no way. Although Meila was born to be a king, she has never ruled the country for a day!
Even though they have received education since childhood, they have no real governance experience, so they are in a panic.
It was so hard to wait until night.
Atlanna returned to the harem with a tired look on her face.
Seeing Kai... Atlanna smiled.
It feels like being in love.
But Atlanna knew very well that the relationship between them was different from that between her and Old Curry. They were attracted by pure hormones and were pure physical lovers. Old Curry, on the other hand, had an emotional basis. But in this situation, this purely physical relationship was easier to get along with.
What she needed was relaxation, and Kai provided both the emotional and physical value perfectly.
To be honest, Kai has been thinking that he is some kind of professional man during this period, and is even regarded as some kind of health medicine by Atlanna.
If it weren't for her strong regenerative ability... she would have turned into medicine residue long ago.
I have to say that when old Curry was young, he was definitely the pinnacle of human maleness. Don't forget how strong Atlantis' physical condition is! To satisfy such a woman, ordinary men can only be virgins for life.
It was over in two or three seconds.
No wonder the two chose to forget each other after their return.
If they stayed together any longer, they would both get bored one day.
"My dear..." Exhausted, Atlanna no longer had her usual reserve and sentimentality, and wanted to be a little rougher.
The two had just rolled together when suddenly there was a loud noise.
A figure rushed in.
"mom!"
Then the three of them looked at each other... it was extremely awkward.
