A C-17 transport plane slowly landed at Lambert St. Louis Air Force Base, Missouri. General Hale, in a blue air force uniform, rushed away the others and rushed down the ramp, questioning the base officer in a head-on manner.

"What do you mean by the signal? What exactly happened!"

Recalling the conversation in Malik Manor, General Hale was so nervous that she almost shivered. Although she had her own little abacus, the warnings of the Malik family made her extremely scared. As an elite who climbed to the position of major general, she knew very well that if her allies were - not so ally, they were more utilizing each other, and she knew very well that if the contract was broken, she would not have any power to resist. She was not a politician who relied on votes and political donations. She wanted to be a ruler, but also understood that her ambitions needed matching strength.

Behind her several airborne squads, this special combat force was the direct army she trained. In the middle of this squad was a petite girl in training suits. She stared at her eyes and looked curiously at her long, nearly platinum-blond hair flowing down her shoulders. Dr. Daniel White Hall, or Dr. Warner Reinhardt's eugenics program product that continued from the Third Reich of Germany to the present, Ruby, General Hale's genetic engineering daughter.

According to the agreement between the ancient families, Ruby will begin to undertake the mission that a family should have. However, General Hale is not willing to let his daughter (even if he hates this forced childbirth) become the mother of the next eugenics program, or climb up through marriage with Baron Strack's waste son.

She hopes to make Ruby a woman like Stephanie Malik, manipulating politicians or Wall Street White Gloves to create benefits for her. General Hale is very clear that the ancient family in the future needs stronger power. White gloves like her are outdated and she must become a member of the ancient family. But before she climbs to that position, the plans she arranges for the future must not be wrong.

This base has one of the most advanced air force aerospace laboratories in the United States. She used the resources here and the 0-84 items collected from the secret base of S.H.E.L.D. to create the equipment - a metal ball, which was one of the secret technologies collected with the Obelisk when Peggy Carter and the Roaring Commando arrested Dr. Warner Reinhardt. Out of hatred for Dr. Daniel White Hall, she dug out the alien ball from S.H.E.L.D.’s collection and immediately started to study it. After that, she began to dream and obtained detailed drawing information in the dream. When the equipment was running, she couldn’t believe it was true, because even the laboratory researchers didn’t know what they were making, and their mission seemed to be just to activate the metal ball.

For some reason, she did not report the alien metal ball and equipment to the Pentagon. After all, no one would believe that she had obtained information from her dream, nor would she believe that she accidentally used this device to contact a powerful alien alliance. Even if the White House finally knew the function of this instrument, she had to make herself the bond between the US government and the "alliance".

"The laboratory warned, sir." The officers who came to greet him seemed worried, "They can't control the situation."

As an officer that General Hale has been training, he knew very well his immediate superior's temper, and he had not seen Ruby before. Everyone knew that General Hale was a single mother, and this identity polished her very tough. His subordinates did not make any jokes about General Hale when they mentioned Ruby. This situation seemed very strange in all the same type (referring to the NATO army). After all, the low-level officers who had no background and just wanted to make money did not respect their superiors.

"They installed lead linings on the ceiling, but they still couldn't stop the equipment from sending rays into outer space. No radiation has been detected yet, but I still ordered the radiation protection troops in the base to surround the laboratory." The officer took out a portable Geiger counter. "If a nuclear leak occurs here, we must clean it, sir."

“Have you received a response?”

"Response?" The officer raised his head from the folder in confusion, "What response?"

"Nothing." General Hale muttered vaguely.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no other abnormalities in the base, General Hale finally breathed a sigh of relief. What the officer said next, such as inquiries sent by NASA and the Pentagon, and other documents that required her to process, were all ignored by General Hale.

If the information given by the Malik family is true, then it is best news that no thousands of aliens holding high-tech weapons have come to the base now. With the connections she has accumulated, it is easy to pass on the incident perfunctory - this base has an important task, which is to analyze the secret technology collected by S.H.E.L.D. In this process, she obtained a lot of money and political resources, because many laboratories and military-industrial complexes want to get data from this laboratory. Those politicians and officers supported by enterprises naturally became her temporary allies. Just use the excuse of analyzing the secret technology, everything that happened here can be explained, even if it is a nuclear leak accident. She can ensure that the research project she led will not have problems, provided that there are no thousands of aliens break in and kill everyone.

"Take me in, my team will take over the security of the lab."

General Hale turned his head and hesitated for a moment. She knew that she had to do this. She had to let Ruby start to contact her secrets. She had to awaken the girl from unrealistic fantasies and tell her that only her own power was the most reliable. This was her personal experience. She understood this truth when she faced Dr. White Hall. If she had the blood of those ancient families, she could have completely rejected Dr. White Hall's request.

"You go in with me, Ruby."

The girl nodded and said nothing.

She was surrounded by black tight combat uniforms, a large-caliber pistol was inserted into the underarm gun belt, and a pretty gorgeous folded hunting knife and a crossbow with complex mechanical devices hung around her waist. Compared with the special combat squad around her, her equipment seemed flashy, but she showed quite confident. This confidence was not blind. As early as the training stage, she was able to fight at least three adult men in close combat. After receiving the gifts given by the emperor, her reaction ability and strength exceeded the level that ordinary humans should have. General Hale had no idea of ​​the so-called gifts. She just believed that the pistol and hunting knife were gifts, and perhaps there was a tradition of giving weapons to girls who were about to become adults in some places. The tyrant made such a statement perhaps to win her over.

The dock area of ​​Hell Kitchen has been completely emptied at this time, and all the gangs who are usually entrenched here have been cleared out a few days in advance. The containers used for smuggling, human trafficking, drug trafficking and arms trafficking were also transported to other locations. If it were not for the smooth handover of goods, Stephanie Malik would never be willing to deal with black gloves like Wilson Fisk. Of course, she didn't know that her request made Hell Kitchen carry more than fifty bodies in a few days, and even if she knew, she didn't care - she didn't come forward in person

, without even telling the East Coast gangster who was working for, just sending the mayor's secretary to convey the news, the New York police (including the black police in Hell's Kitchen) started the operation. If you rely solely on the New York police or the New York SWAT, it is impossible to completely clear the gangsters in the dock area, because many of these gangsters are black gloves of many senior officials in New York State. Only small figures like Wilson Fisk, who are also gangsters can avoid escalation while cleaning up the dock area and avoid many unexpected resistance.

"The location is determined?"

She held her hands in front of her chest, frowned, and watched several heavy and huge metallic gray coffins over three meters long being transported into the Kun-style fighter jet, almost filling the entire cabin. Stephanie Malik knew very well what these metal coffins contained, which was the pinnacle of biochemical technology. In comparison, Captain America's super soldier who did not obey commands was completely outdated. Even if these biochemical weapons were not as powerful as the emperor's genetically modified warriors, she was confident to use these powerful biochemical weapons to challenge the Hulk.

"Lambert St. Louis Air Force Base, Missouri." The secretary replied. As a steward who served the Malik family for generations, the middle-aged woman was not surprised by the fully armed army in front of her. If the Malik family had not attached great importance to the operation, she would not have left Washington. After checking the fixed conditions of the goods, she checked the condition of the goods and the readings on the metal coffin according to the instructions. "If these weapons are really as powerful as the instructions, then this action seems to be a bit of use." She has always been skeptical about the Malik family's change of loyalty and couldn't help but say in a sarcastic tone. "Gideon has convinced the Department of Defense to arrange an inspection of the base, and Brigadier General Tabot will participate. He has a different view of General Hale."

"Tabot?" asked Stephanie Malik, "that S.H.E.L.D. Hunter?"

"They are all small characters, and he has not found any of our people." The secretary rolled his eyes.

Before Stephanie Malik was born, she helped Gideon Malik handle a lot of work. Even the decision of several World Security Council members to throw tactical nuclear bombs into New York during the War of New York was that she had made up her private meetings through conference calls and fought for the Malik family during the White House investigation.

Although that incident led to the emperor's visit in person, the Malik family had already received many benefits before that. Otherwise, Gideon Malik would not agree to bear the consequences of the World Security Council's ambition to use S.H.I.E.L.D. to expand external threats and enhance his political status. Although she has no political status, she never took General Tabot, a role that was launched by the Pentagon and the White House to make a show.

"Gideon will send someone to the base," said the secretary. "Using the name of Brigadier General Tabot, at least the base tower will not prevent us from landing. By the time he arrives at the base, we have finished the matter. But I still have to ask, Stephanie...even if your mother asks this here... have you really decided to offer all your loyalties?"

A special operations team broke open the laboratory door and surrounded General Hale and Ruby in.

The center of the laboratory is the equipment. Invisible rays shot out from the tip of the tower-shaped equipment. The oncoming ozone smell and the researchers in heavy protective clothing told General Hale a bad news, that is, they could not stop the machine. The faulty equipment looked like a silver-white pyramid made of metal, with thick cables like a black pyramid climbing onto the building. The blue and orange-red currents came out from time to time from the metal surface, burning insulating rubber and other equipment.

“We’ve turned off the power!”

They panic as the airborne rescue team rushed into the laboratory wearing gas masks, drove all the researchers out, and then began laying some equipment that they had never seen before with S.H.E.L.D badges. The head of the laboratory waved the Geiger counter, like a bomb, as if he could command everyone with the Geiger counter. Then he mentioned a nervous name.

"But that thing still runs on its own, just like the universe's Rubik's Cube! We don't know if this will cause another alien invasion, we have to destroy that thing!" The head of the laboratory screamed, "We don't know what this thing is for!"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Many of the information from SHIELD were obtained by the Pentagon, including the "Phase II" plan led by Dr. Shavig before the Battle of New York, namely the Cosmic Cube Experiment. That experiment was also the equipment was running on its own and could not be stopped. Finally, it brought an alien prince and caused humans to face alien invasion for the first time. Although Dr. Shavig, a master of academic circles, did not suffer any punishment, he heard that Dr. Shavig ended up crazy and ran naked in Stonehenge, and he didn't want to end like this.

If it weren't for the high salary and access control here, he and his research team would have escaped long ago.

"Shut up, I'll decide here!" General Hale scolded the head of the laboratory without hesitation. Although she was not sure, at least she was very calm and did not notice Ruby standing behind the team looking at her phone.

"Airborne Squad! Until I inform you to enter, everyone will never come in."

The airborne rescue team signaled to General Hale that the armed forces in the base had surrounded the laboratory and controlled all scientific researchers according to her instructions. She brought her own army for this. If it were just to prevent alien attacks, she could rely on the army in the base, but she could not let others know the secret of the equipment. She needed an absolutely obedient army. Today, these scientific researchers must not get off work early or even leave this military base. After all, these guys do not have much sense of confidentiality. If they were not afraid of military discipline and confidentiality agreements, and the weirdness of this equipment, they would definitely post the situation here to social media.

"Now, everyone left the lab. Ruby, except you."

"What is this?" Ruby asked questions only after the others left the lab. She stroked the folded hunting knife around her waist with some anxiety. She was sure that this was what the Malik family women wanted, and from her mother's attitude she didn't want others to know what the thing was really for. "You only know what it is, right?"
