Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 179 The enemy of the enemy is a friend
The current situation is dark and inexplicable, Jack cautiously chose to shrink his defense.

Except for the necessary field intelligence personnel, everyone else returned to the watchtower base, which made the entire watchtower base overcrowded immediately.

Just in case, Jack even brought Ivan Vanke to the base.

However, in order to prevent Ivan and Tony from meeting in advance, Jack temporarily limited Ivan's activities to a laboratory.

Ivan didn't have any objections. There were sufficient equipment and materials in the laboratory, and he just needed time to make his own whip armor.

After everything is arranged, Jack has time to think about the purpose of Hydra.

There is no doubt that Hydra's ultimate goal is world domination.

But the series of actions in front of him seemed a bit messy. Simply put, it was a hammer and a stick.

Although the opponent's series of actions caught the sky hammer game by surprise, the logic in it seemed a bit fragmented, and it didn't look like Alexander's handwriting!
If the attack on Ivan Vanke was to obtain the technology of the Ark reactor, then the attack on Jack was a bit inexplicable!
It's not that Jack is underestimating himself, he is an ordinary person, and the Sky Hammer Bureau is just the beginning...

If it is said that Hydra is sweeping up the top levels of the United States, then talents such as the President, Secretary of State, Director of the Investigation Bureau, and Director of the Intelligence Bureau should be the target of the other party.

But they attacked themselves again and again!
The key to this, Jack really can't figure it out.

So as a matter of urgency, Jack must figure out the opponent's purpose.

Just when Jack's mind was in a mess, George Tarleton woke up...

After receiving the news, Jack rushed to the treatment room immediately.

This is a specially-made house, with a large number of unknown metal iron sheets pasted around it.

Outside the treatment room, Tony is operating a weird machine.

Jack drove the wheelchair to Tony's side, and asked doubtfully:
"what is this?"

Tony looked very excited, and he replied without looking back:
"The psychic detector I temporarily made can not only suppress the use of psychic powers within 1 kilometer, but also detect the energy index...

You just can't believe it, Tarleton's psychic power has reached a thousand times that of ordinary humans,
If my judgment is correct, his psychic powers can be fully realized, which is an amazing discovery. "

Looking at the excited Tony, Jack felt deeply worried.

The world is already grotesque, and adding another "freak" is not something worth celebrating.

"Tony, can your mind detector completely suppress Tarleton's ability?"

Tony nodded proudly, pointed at the computer and said to Jack:

"I improved the energy circuit in it, and now this thing is powered by a new element reactor, as long as Tarleton's psychic power does not exceed the peak energy supply of the reactor,
Within the shielding range of this machine, he is an ordinary person. "

Jack nodded.

Tony's research and development capabilities have always been trustworthy...

"Then can I go in and talk to him now? Maybe he has some information we need."

Tony put down the tablet in his hand, and said seriously:

"I'll go in with you."

With that said, Tony came behind Jack and pushed the wheelchair into the treatment room.

In the treatment room, Tarleton was leaning on a special hospital bed, his appearance was very funny!

Because his head was too big, his waist was completely in the air, with four or five pillows under his waist, and his two arms could only hang in the air on the added armrests.

Although Tarleton's appearance is funny, his expression is very calm, or rather lonely...

His appearance made Jack very uneasy!

Thinking in another way, if Jack himself has become like this, then Jack's emotions must be intense, and it will never be this kind of "calm" without sadness or joy.

Jack felt that under Tarleton's calm, there were many emotions accumulating!

It's like an extinct volcano gathering energy, and sooner or later it will burn everything down.

While Jack was still thinking about his opening words, Tarleton spoke first. His voice was very shrill, reminiscent of an old witch in a fairy tale.

Jack guessed it was the sequela after the head enlarged and oppressed the throat.

"Tony Stark, Jack Murdoch, thank you very much for saving me from the devil's den."

Jack frowned, thanking the other party for such a smile, which sounds cheap.

But Jack still picked up Tarleton's words and asked:
"George Tarleton, can you tell me about your experience? Why did you become a test subject.

According to our information, you disappeared six years ago after graduating from your doctorate..."

There was a trace of sadness in Tarleton's oversized eyes, but then he regained his composure, and said in a deep voice:
"Six years ago, I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and was immediately recruited to S.H.I.E.L.D...."

Hearing this familiar name, Jack and Tony glanced at each other, then turned away immediately and continued to listen to Tarleton's story.

"At S.H.I.E.L.D., I'm mainly responsible for the development of super brains, but my aptitude is average, and I've been helping others...

The change of things happened not long ago, SHIELD established a new base, and I was transferred there...

On that day, an accident happened suddenly in the base, a green screen enveloped the No. [-] laboratory, and we received an order to evacuate immediately.

But before the retreat, my mentor and a group of scientists took mercenaries to occupy the Brain Research Laboratory, and they transferred about 500 billion US dollars of S.H.I.E.L.D. funds from secret accounts.

And because I disobeyed their orders, I was sent to AIM Pioneer Technology as experimental materials.

This is my story. "

After Tarleton finished speaking, he closed his eyes silently. His face was distorted. Coupled with his current weird appearance, he looked very frightening!
But Jack didn't pay attention to Tarleton. He looked at Tony, whose eyes were full of surprise.

From Tarleton's narration, the two learned that a series of things happened without their knowledge during the Destroyer War.

Jack thinks further...

He couldn't figure it out before... why Fury came to him again and again recently to find out about Hydra.

After all, Jack gave Fury a warning a long time ago, but the latter has never taken any action.

But after The Destroyer, Fury seemed impatient...he seemed desperate to find Hydra.

Jack understands now!
It turned out that in that war, Fury not only lost a base and a team of field personnel, his scientists collectively mutinied, and took away a lot of his funds!
Fury will never be indiscriminate.

So that group of renegade scientists is likely to be members of HYDRA!
But why has Fury been quiet again recently, returning to his normal state of "indifference", and Alexander, the snakehead, didn't make any moves...

There seems to be something unreasonable here!
Seeing Tarleton was silent, Jack and Tony walked out of the room.

As soon as the door of the treatment room was closed, Tony immediately pulled Jack to the balcony...

"Do you think what Tarleton said is trustworthy?" Tony asked with a rare serious expression.

Jack pondered for a long time, his head is now in a mess, and it takes time to sort out the logic!

"Tony, I'm in a mess right now, but my instinct tells me that Tarleton is not trustworthy. At least he has concealed a lot of key information."

Tony nodded in agreement. Like Jack, he felt Tarleton's dishonesty.

Seeing Tony nodding, Jack continued:

"My suggestion is to monitor Tarleton 24 hours a day and never let him out of this room."

Although Jack has never studied psychology, but a person has undergone a sudden change, he will have some psychological problems to some extent, and Tarleton can't get rid of his suspicions.

Jack had reason to suspect that Tarleton was probably also a Hydra.

Otherwise, how could a researcher with mediocre qualifications be deliberately targeted.

Moreover, the collective mutiny of Fury's scientists, Tarleton being an exception, does not make sense at all.

Of course, this incident also shows from the side that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been rotten from the root!
Although the Sky Hammer Bureau was established not long ago, Jack has already attracted about a dozen scientists and more than 50 researchers.

And S.H.I.E.L.D. is an established organization, and the number of scientists will never be less than 100.

So many people are all hydra... This is simply appalling!

Tony didn't know that Jack had thought about so many things in this short period of time. He said tentatively:

"Although I also suspect that Tarleton has concealed some key information.

But there is a proverb in the East, the enemy of your enemy is your friend,
AIM Pioneer Technology turned Tarleton into this shit, he must hate AIM more than we do..."

Before Tony finished speaking, Jack interrupted:
"Tony, is your purpose of saying these words to increase the power of Skyhammer Bureau, or to satisfy your own curiosity?"

Tony was taken aback.

Jack continued:

"I understand that Tarleton's abnormal changes are very attractive to you as a scientist...

You may be very curious about his abilities, but we can't take any chances,

I insist that Tarleton is an uncontrollable factor, and he will bring disaster to the world. "

Tony retorted:
"According to your idea, what do you want to do with Tarleton and imprison him in this small house forever?
Jack, even a normal person would go crazy if put in it!

At that time, even if it is not an enemy, it will become an enemy! "

Seeing that Tony became agitated, Jack made a downward movement to signal Tony to calm down.
Then went on to say:
"I have no intention of imprisoning Tarleton forever...but he must stay in this room until we get to the bottom of him."

Seeing Jack being so persistent, Tony slapped the balcony railing hard, turned and left.

Looking at Tony's back, Jack was very helpless.

Human beings are strong because of science, and will eventually perish because of science.

For someone like Tony, an insatiable thirst for knowledge drives him to improve, but it also eats him up in the end!

This is what Thanos concluded, Tony is a man cursed by knowledge!

In order to prevent Tony from making irrational actions, Jack called Kano and ordered him to guard the door of the treatment room.

But Jack himself didn't go back to his office. He called Frank and Wolverine as bodyguards and went to the Tricurved Wing Building in Washington.

After sorting out his thoughts a little bit, Jack realized that Fury was an important node in many events.

If it is true, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Then Jack thinks he should choose to cooperate with Fury to deal with Hydra.

……

In the reception room on the thirteenth floor of the Triangle Wing Building, Jack waited for nearly an hour before Fury arrived late...

He didn't show any expression as usual, and after a hasty nod, he sat on the sofa opposite Jack,

"Mr. Murdoch, what do you want from me?"

Fury's name made Jack feel a little distanced, but the two were not familiar with each other at all.

Jack considered the language for a while, and then he opened his mouth and said:

"I heard that you were assassinated some time ago, did you find any clues?"

Fury nodded and said in a deep voice:
"It was a group of foreign terrorists. I took down their organization. This is the revenge of a group of remnants against me."

Jack frowned, and Fury's answer was beyond his expectations.

Originally, Jack thought that the assassination of Fury and the interception of himself were the work of Hydra...

At this moment, Jack suddenly didn't know what to say next!
Seeing that Jack was silent, Fury said with a little urgency:
"Sorry, Mr. Murdoch, I still have a lot of things to do. If there is nothing else, I will go first!"

Something is wrong!
Jack felt something was very wrong with Fury.

A week ago, Fury had been pestering Jack to ask about Hydra, but now that Jack came to his door, he was in a hurry to leave!

Jack stopped Fury and asked tentatively:

"Is Alexander all right?"

Fury replied with a smile:

"Mr. Director is very good. The United Nations is negotiating to award him this year's Nobel Peace Prize. When he was the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he once rejected this honor, but this time his attitude seems to be a little loose!"

Listening to Fury's chattering and joking answer, Jack's heart rang out...

In the last meeting, Jack had clearly told Fury that Alexander was the leader of Hydra.

But the Fury in front of him seemed to admire Alexander very much.

This seems so counterintuitive!

Even if Alexander Pierce hides quite deeply, it is impossible to unearth any doubts with Fury's means.

With a little doubt, the truth can no longer be concealed.

But with Fury's current appearance, it seems that he doesn't know that Alexander is Hydra!

In order to confirm the suspicion in his heart, Jack tried again:
"Fry, do you remember what I said on that piece of paper I gave you?"

"What?" Fury asked in confusion.

But then he added: "Sorry, there have been too many things recently, and I haven't had time to deal with what you said... SHIELD still has a lot of business to deal with, so please forgive me."

After speaking, Fury hurried away.

Looking at Fury's slightly panicked back, Jack turned and looked at Frank hesitantly.

Although Jack already had doubts in his heart, this is not the place to talk.

"Frank, let's go back to the watchtower."

Frank pushed Jack out of the reception room expressionlessly.

And their actions were all recorded by hidden surveillance...

In Alexander's office...

Alexander and Sitwell were watching Jack's leaving back under surveillance.

"Sir, he's suspicious!" Sitwell whispered.

Alexander folded his arms around his chest and said coldly:

"Zola's calculation is correct, Jack Murdoch will be Hydra's deadliest enemy!"
