章 379: Chapter 378: Investigation
Barton hated the other party's recklessness, hated his own helplessness, and hated the undisciplined and disorganized bastard who didn't follow his orders.
The casualties of the team went from 3 to 22.
Barton's voice was somewhat low, "Everyone come out, take the bodies of our teammates, and let's retreat."
Hearing Barton's orders, the six S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were responsible for driving and had escaped the attack all got out of the car, painfully placing the bodies of their comrades onto the vehicle.
The agent who had been beside Barton asked again, "What about our mission?"
Barton glanced at the sacrificial pattern in the middle of the square behind him as his voice became cold, "It's already completed."
...
On the other side-
Moses had successfully returned to the base with Jane and started to rest.
The use of the high table channel during the retreat and the traces left after returning to New York were not concealed from S.H.I.E.L.D.
Triskelion Tower-
In Sitwell's office, Crossbones was also present.
Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Sitwell's expression changing constantly. He had just found a superhuman being, and unexpectedly, that person had a connection with Charles.
"That werewolf team brought Jane into the base that Charles built."
Listening to Sitwell's words, Crossbones was also stunned. Charles Doyle, someone he had been in contact with from the beginning, was known to be someone that cannot be provoked.
"Are they seeking refuge from Charles?"
"Or are they Charles's subordinates?"
Sitwell picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and then shook his head,
"Uncertain."
"Charles Agency provides many services, and seeking refuge is a possibility."
"But since they directly went to his base, there is a high probability that they are his people."
Crossbones showed a hint of disappointment on his face, then asked, "Should we give up?"
"We've finally found this superhuman force with difficulty."
Sitwell pondered for a moment, then said, "This matter isn't suitable for us to investigate in person."
"Report the losses this time, and the fact that Jane was taken to Charles's base. I believe Nick Fury will bring us the information we want."
Crossbones asked, "What about the werewolf's information? Should we report that too?"
"Report everything, or else nearly 30 agents have died, and someone has to take responsibility for this mess."
"Yes, I'll submit the mission report now."
After Crossbones left the room, Sitwell immediately reported the information to his superior, Pierce.
Upon hearing the report and the way it was handled, Pierce stroked his chin, thinking about the cooperation between them and Charles Agency.
In the past half year, Hydra had not sent Winter Soldier to complete some difficult and dangerous tasks. Instead, they had used mission commissions from the Continental Hotel to outsource all the tasks.
After investing certain resources, each mission was perfectly completed without any flaws.
"Let Nick Fury test the waters. If they're not Charles's people, we'll intervene later."
"Since they could be Charles's subordinates, suspend actions against them for now."
"How's the analysis of the blood samples we brought back?"
Upon hearing Pierce inquire about the blood samples, Sitwell immediately responded, "The scientific team conducted tests and comparisons. The werewolf's genes are quite similar to humans."
"Moreover, the werewolf's blood has a strong devouring ability. When it comes into contact with ordinary human blood, it gets infected, and the cells in the blood are killed."
"However, due to the limited amount of blood we brought back, and most of it being contaminated, we could only perform basic data analysis. The scientific team needs more blood samples from us."
Pierce shook his head, "Still lacking materials."
"In a few days, the metal materials will be delivered. Arrange for someone to go to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop to exchange for enhancer serums."
"This matter cannot afford any mistakes, so let's put aside the werewolf issue for the time being."
"Yes, sir."
...
With Crossbones submitting the mission report and specifically noting the presence of the superhuman werewolf and that the werewolf took Jane to Charles's base, this urgent report quickly reached Director Nick Fury.
He had already given orders within the agency that any intelligence related to superhumans and Charles should be sent to him for review as soon as possible.
Looking at the urgent file, Nick Fury immediately opened it. After browsing through the mission details, Nick Fury's expression became even darker.
The loss of nearly thirty agents, especially highly skilled members of the special task force, made Nick Fury feel a deep sense of pain. These were all his subordinates.
"Werewolf, Charles's base."
"Took Jane Foster."
"Charles, what are you thinking?"
After contemplating for a moment, Nick Fury picked up the phone on his desk and made a call.
"Inform Coulson to come to my office."
After giving the order, Nick Fury hung up the phone and continued to analyze the intelligence information.
Not keeping Nick Fury waiting for long, Coulson pushed open the door to the director's office.
"Director, did you need me?"
Nick Fury glanced at Coulson and calmly said, "Jane Foster was abducted, but she ended up in Charles's base."
"We lost nearly thirty agents because of it."
Upon hearing this news, Coulson was also stunned for a moment, then said with some disbelief, "Charles took Jane?"
"Don't they have connections with Asgard?"
"And they killed so many agents for this, it doesn't make sense."
Nick Fury directly handed the task report to Coulson.
"Take a look for yourself!"
Coulson opened the file, and after reading the mission report, he said with a moment of hesitation, "Werewolf? Are these creatures starting to appear now?"
After finishing reading the report, Coulson pondered for a moment and then spoke, "Director, I think this matter is not simple."
"Perhaps there are things we don't know. We've never heard of Charles having werewolves among his subordinates."
"Coulson, I'm entrusting this task to you."
"Go to Charles Agency, investigate why they took Jane."
"Jane's life must not be in danger. Another thing is to ask Charles about these werewolves and gather information about them."
"The lives of our agents cannot be sacrificed in vain."
Upon receiving the director's instructions, Coulson nodded.
"Sir, I'll go to Charles Agency now and thoroughly investigate this matter."
