Chapter 127 Female Officer Camilla
"You two know each other?" Qin Wuying stepped out from the shadows and greeted them.
Seeing that the threat had been eliminated, the agents breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the enemy wasn't some lowly thugs, but a group of well-trained official soldiers.
"Let me introduce you," Coulson said with a smile. "This is Lieutenant Camilla; I used to work with her."
"Worked together?" Qin Wuying listened to this statement, observing the expressions of Coulson and Camilla.
The relationship between these two people is definitely more than just "having worked together".
However, as long as they weren't enemies, Qin Wuying didn't want to bother with anything else.
"So, in that case, everything's alright between us, right?"
Agent Ward remained tense, though he had put down the portable energy cannon, he still gripped it tightly.
"Yes, you can relax now." Camilla gave him a friendly smile.
Then, while Coulson and Camilla, the two old partners, were catching up, Ward returned to the temple.
Meanwhile, Agent Fitz and Agent Simonster were also conducting their research methodically.
"Do you two want to take a break?" Qin Wuying noticed the beads of sweat on their foreheads and suggested that they rest for a while.
"No, sir, this thing is too dangerous," Fitz said, while performing complex calculations on the computer.
Meanwhile, Agent Simon was intently directing the mini-drones to perform scanning and dust cleaning.
Qin Wuying and Ward exchanged a glance, and had no choice but to go along with the scientists' wishes.
Generally speaking, the more talented a person is in research, the more eccentric their personality tends to be.
"Sir, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."
"Oh? What's the problem?"
Ward, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally couldn't stand it any longer and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Qin Wuying.
Why did you let Michael do those things back then?
"I'll let him get away with it? How could I?"
"But sir, you are a hero who fought in the Battle of New York..."
"I know what you mean. You're saying that with my abilities, stopping Michael would be very easy, right?"
Agent Ward nodded, and Qin Wuying immediately saw through his thoughts.
In any case, there were many good opportunities throughout the entire incident.
As long as Qin Wuying seriously uses his abilities, he can handle not only Michael, but also ten more infected people.
However, in Ward's eyes, Qin Wuying had almost missed every opportunity.
This is undoubtedly gambling with their mission, their lives, and the lives of innocent people.
"Didn't you ever consider what would happen if we couldn't handle it?"
"Ha, but you guys managed to get it done."
"But there's a safer way..."
"Listen," Qin Wuying patted Agent Ward on the shoulder, "have you ever heard the saying, 'With great power comes great responsibility'?"
"Uh, no. Which celebrity said that?"
"Never mind if you don't have it. Actually, it's quite famous in my hometown."
As Qin Wuying spoke, she took out a box of orange juice from her pocket and removed the straw.
The drink wasn't actually on him—
Instead, it was stored in its own alternate dimension in advance, and then transmitted out when needed.
"In my opinion, that's not the case. Having greater ability doesn't necessarily mean you have to do more."
"Why is that? Isn't the purpose of S.H.I.E.L.D. to protect the people and the Earth?"
"That's true, but I'm different from everyone else," Qin Wuying said slowly, taking a sip of his drink.
"What's different?"
"I'm too strong, so strong that you'll become dependent on me."
After saying this, Qin Wuying ignored Agent Ward's reaction and walked outside on his own.
The weather was already hot and humid with no wind, and after spending so much time in the temple, I felt like I couldn't breathe.
Coulson and Camilla were chatting happily not far away, it seemed that the two were indeed attracted to each other.
But as they were talking, the female officer suddenly frowned and stopped speaking.
Coulson followed the other's gaze and looked towards the path they had come from.
At that moment, Qin Wuying also heard the noise—
That was the sound of an encirclement closing in from multiple directions; besides them, there were others present.
"Pick up your weapons, be careful and watch your surroundings. Open fire as soon as they pounce!"
Camilla was the first to pick up her rifle, using the SUV as cover, and pulled Coulson to hide behind it.
"Whoosh! Waaah!" came a series of strange cries.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people wearing different colored masks or hoods emerged from many bushes.
The weapons these people carried were very crude, mostly civilian rifles and pistols.
However, their numerical advantage made up for their disadvantage in firearms.
A rough estimate suggests that there were several dozen of these simply armed individuals.
"Who are they? Why did they follow us here?" Coulson pulled out the pistol from his waist.
"Terrorists, they want what's in the temple too." Camilla, unfazed, peeked out from behind cover and fired.
"Bang! Bang bang bang bang bang!" With the first shot fired by the female officer, the whole scene descended into chaos.
Gunfire was everywhere, and bullets were flying wildly through the air.
This was a classic skirmish, and neither side was clearly prepared.
Qin Wuying turned to look at the two scientists and agents inside the temple; they were still working frantically.
"Ward! Tell them to take that thing away! It's too late!"
"Understood!" Upon receiving the order, Ward immediately bent down and relayed the message to Agent Fitz.
Because the other person was so focused, you couldn't hear anything else if you didn't do it this way.
"No, it won't work. We need another half hour to stabilize it because...&*￥#!"
Agent Simonster answered from the side, and the last series of technical terms made Ward's head spin.
With the fighting outside so intense, they would all die here if they didn't find a way to leave.
Seeing that Agent Fitz and Agent Simon showed no sign of finishing their work immediately, Ward grew increasingly anxious.
He walked straight to the wall and yanked the stone covering the mysterious object off.
Inside is a small mechanical device, and at the very back is an energy core that emits a blue light.
"It's doomed! It could explode at any moment, and it's all your fault! Why didn't you listen?!"
Agent Fitz covered his head with his hands and shouted.
This completely enraged Ward, who shoved the device into the bags of the two scientists.
Ignoring the two people's loud screams, Wodra pulled them and ran outside.
At this moment, Qin Wuying was standing at the entrance of the temple, raising a magical shield to block the incoming bullets for the three of them.
"The car I called will be here soon, so get ready!"
The female officer, Camilla, shouted angrily, her hand never ceasing its action of pulling the trigger.
