The Light of Beauty

When I left the fighting gym, there was still some time before noon.

At Ryan's voluntary request, the two completed a comprehensive physical fitness test.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s equipment is more sophisticated, which means that the items to be tested are also very complicated and delicate. Fortunately, with the help of professionals, the two finished the test before the meal time.

During the process, Ryan reserved all the tests on the physical initiative ability. His data performance basically refers to the top soldiers among professional soldiers, but because of his fighting performance just now, his strength has been slightly strengthened.

As for passive tests such as blood or organs, Ryan can't change it, but fortunately, his blood is still normal in normal times.

After walking out of the medical examination center, Sharon immediately offered an invitation: "Let me treat you to dinner, what do you want to eat?"

Ryan didn't answer, but fell into deep thought.

Sharon Carter, Peggy Carter's niece, strictly speaking, Peggy Carter is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., so Sharon Carter naturally has a special identity, but this does not mean that she has Special status, otherwise the future would not be wanted by the government for helping opposition heroes in the civil war.

But one thing that cannot be ignored is that, at least at the current time point, Sharon Carter is by no means just an ordinary agent.

So, who sent him?

A one-eyed dragon?

No, Ryan is just a small character at the moment.

Hydra?

Couldn't pee in the same jug as Sharon Carter.

Other S.H.I.E.L.D. executives?

This should be reasonable, and it should be the head of the department responsible for the investigation of internal members, but it is unknown who it is.

So, what is Sharon's purpose?

Surveillance, probing, gathering leads, character assessment, identifying identities and capabilities...

All are possible, and more.

If he keeps refusing today, then it won't be long before Ryan will have another person who also undertakes these tasks, and he may not be able to identify that person.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is an intelligence agency whose members are collectively referred to as agents, and agents' need for trust and exploration of others will never be met.

"Okay, you can eat anything." Ryan agreed.

Sharon nodded again and again, looking very happy.

Sharon then drove him to a restaurant across the river for a very un-Chinese meal.

Luckily Ryan has a moderate appetite for food, so the meal was a happy one.

Ryan showed the characteristics of taciturnity, and Sharon kept raising the topic on his own initiative.

She talked about a lot of things, including childhood, family, middle school, university, ideals and hobbies, etc. Ryan didn't know how much of it was true or false. In short, the personality that Sharon set for herself was: a cheerful, free-spirited, ordinary family , a girl with a firm goal and a clear love and hate.

But Ryan, the girl who described herself in this way, has never seen a thousand and has been in contact with eight hundred, probably because this kind of persona is very pleasing.

It is not easy to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of an agent, because they have long been accustomed to wandering among all kinds of lies.

Ryan is very thankful that he watched movies, movie reviews, and all kinds of extended analysis and interpretation in his previous life.

After the meal, the two returned to the Sanquyi Building, and the assessment continued.

Although battlefield analysis and team command are divided into two items, in fact they are inseparable and complementary in actual combat.

The accuracy and depth of battlefield analysis determine the direction of the team command, and the decision-making and response of the team command determine the subsequent evolution of the battlefield.

Therefore, the assessment is carried out simultaneously, but the scoring is divided into two parts.

In the mock assessment, S.H.I.E.L.D. provided many battlefields, all of which took place in the real world. Because the assessment was for team command, they were all local battles or small wars.

Environmental conditions, the number of enemies and friends, equipment differences, combat objectives and even the timing of intervention are all different.

Ryan looked at them, and countless memories flooded his mind.

In the end, Ryan got an "A+" grade.

"Although it is not the best S, it is already very good. Have you taught yourself?"

"Well, my uncle was a soldier, and I studied with him for a long time."

Sharon thought for a while: "Oh, Red Varner, I remember this name, he used to be the commander of the Rangers. It's not surprising, he has rich experience in actual combat command, and you have a smart Mind and professional psychology knowledge, if you can study full-time, you will definitely get the best grades. By the way, SHIELD Academy also has a combat command major, do you want to go?"

Ryan shook his head: "I have no idea for now."

"Well, if you want, you can apply at any time. The bureau is very supportive of further education for an agent with command ability like you. Not only does it cost you nothing, but it will also give you a subsidy."

"I remember, thank you."

"You're welcome, then next..." Sharon thought for a while and said, "Let's go and see where your team is stationed first?"

"Is there still a resident?" Ryan wondered.

"It's a resident, but it's actually a dormitory and some exclusive training venues and equipment. You'll know it when you get there."

After a while, the two returned to the Tricurved Wing Building and entered an independent building on the southwest side.

Compared with the main building, there are few people here.

"Here are the residences, training and temporary office spaces of special forces, special operations groups and other field personnel. However, special operations groups and field personnel often go out to perform tasks, and most of them will rest at home after the mission is over, so they are often here. The most important is the rapid response special forces, who are responsible for the security defense of the entire headquarters."

When it comes to rapid response special forces, you have to mention the current captain of this armed force, Brock Rumlow, nicknamed "Crossbones".

When it comes to Rumlow, you have to talk about Hydra.

In Ryan's personal eyes, in terms of organizational discipline, unity and execution, Hydra can throw S.H.I.E.L.D. out of ten streets.

But this hydra lurking inside S.H.I.E.L.D. just wants to rule the world.

As long as they change to a more realistic goal with more universal value, then the Hydra flag has long been flying over the Tricurved Wing Building, even if it rises to the top of the White House, it is not impossible.

Therefore, goal setting is extremely important, otherwise no amount of effort and no matter how good the team is, it will be useless.

The quick-response special forces occupied the first to sixth floors of the building, and they had their own independent entrances and exits that others could not pass through.

Sharon led Ryan to enter from the side and boarded the elevator. After she took out a card and swiped it, the elevator went straight to the ninth floor.

When the elevator door opened, Ryan was immediately attracted by the sight in front of him.

Stepping out of the elevator is equivalent to entering the house.

In the middle is a huge living room, with smooth and seamless floor-to-ceiling windows allowing the sunlight to shine into almost all corners. There is an open kitchen and bar, and there are metal doors on the left and right sides.

"On the left is the training ground and the arsenal, and on the right is the personal room and the meeting room." Sharon introduced as she walked, "This is the original Ninth Special Operations Group's residence, but you don't have to worry, all the furniture, personal items, weapons here The equipment and training facilities have been renewed in advance to ensure that nothing has been used."

Although Ryan didn't know the original team members, he still couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "I remember they died in the mission?"

Sharon glanced at him lightly, the corners of her mouth quickly raised and then lowered: "I understand what you mean, but you may have misunderstood, they have already sacrificed, so everything here except weapons and equipment have been handed over to their families, The weapons and equipment we provide are personalized choices, and the uniforms are also tailor-made, so they will be replaced.”

Lane got it.

Then, I saw Sharon suddenly facing Ryan, handing over the card that was swiped in the elevator just now, and speaking seriously at the same time.

"Sharon Carter, a senior administrator of SHIELD's Information Resource Management Branch, formally applies to you to join the Ninth Secret Service Action Team!"
