Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 23: Forest Hunt
In the Wakanda Tactical Command Center, Okoye, who had just finished a meeting with the Avengers, did not go back to sleep. She still had a lot of things to deal with.

"General."

At this moment, a female guard walked in quickly from the gate. She first bowed her head to salute Okoye, then took a few steps forward anxiously.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Okoye turned around and looked at the female guard who wanted to report something to him, and spoke softly.

"It's the modified raccoon. The patrol team reports that the modified creature just took Agent Kaia to steal some weapons from the warehouse, bypassed the gate guards and headed towards the forest in Area D." The female guard reported truthfully.

Apparently, Rocket Raccoon and Suze's actions were not hidden from Wakanda.

Even their every move was under the surveillance of these people, but the Wakandans did not take direct action, but reported the matter to Okoye first.

Listening to the female guard's report, Okoye frowned slightly.

"D Area Forest. I remember that later in the day, M'Baku's men reported finding traces of the Vanguard there, right?"

"Yes, General, but those vanguards were just hiding far away in the forest and did not cause any harm to our people. Plus, they were cleaning up the battlefield, so there was no conflict." The female guard replied.

"What do you think they were trying to do by sneaking out so late at night?" Okoye turned to look at the female guard and asked in a calm tone.

Hearing this, the female guard was silent. She was a little unsure of Okoye's thoughts. After a pause, she asked back, "General, are you referring to the raccoon or Agent Kaia?"

"What do you think?" Okoye's expression remained unchanged.

Thinking about this question, the female guard spoke.

"We don't know the origins of that raccoon, but based on what Agent Kaia said, we can't rule out the possibility that he approached the raccoon with bad intentions. Perhaps going to the battlefield to collect samples in the evening was just a cover, and his real intention was to capture a Vanguard."

"It's a good idea, but do you think that even if he successfully captures a Vanguard, he has the means to send it away under our noses?" asked Okoye.

"This..." The female guard lowered her head. She had never thought about this.

Shaking his head slightly, Okoye waved his hand.

"Let them be. Whether they want to help us kill a few Vanguards or have some unspeakable secrets, as long as he is still in Wakanda, he will always be under our surveillance and nothing unexpected will happen."

Hearing this, the female guard nodded in agreement, but after hesitating for a moment, she asked again.

"In that case, General, should we send someone to follow them? After all, those vanguards are still very dangerous, and there are only two of them."

"Isn't that agent from the operations team?" Okoye interrupted the female guard before she finished speaking. "If he can't even overcome this difficulty, what kind of agent is he?"

"Yes, General. I see."

The female guard bowed and left.

Watching the female guard walking away, Okoye couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his temple.

She was really having a headache at the moment. There were a lot of complicated things going on inside Wakanda, and the United Nations would probably send people over to cause trouble at dawn.

In the face of internal and external troubles, the agent of SHIELD was still not at peace. He stayed up late at night and even ran out with Rocket Raccoon to look for the Vanguard.

Okoye really regretted why he didn't just put Kaia under house arrest, so that he wouldn't have to go around looking for death.

If he wants to die, then go ahead and die. It's his own fault anyway.

Okoye gritted her teeth and thought indignantly, but soon she couldn't help but sigh.

She really wanted to ignore the lives of this man and the raccoon, but she also knew that if something happened to Kaia, it would be difficult to explain if SHIELD asked about it.

Although the two sides do not trust each other, in the overall environment, they are still allies, and Rocket Raccoon was brought here by Thor, so they can't let anything happen to them on Wakanda's territory.

Thinking of this, Okoye raised his hand and called out to the female guard who had already walked to the door.

"Wait a moment." The female guard turned around.

Letting out a long breath, Okoye sighed tiredly.

"Send a patrol team to catch up with them. It's our mission to wipe out the Vanguard Guards anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."

Seeing the general say this, although she didn't know why she suddenly changed her mind, the female guard didn't think much about it and bowed her head.

"It's the general."

the other side.

Su Ze followed Rocket Raccoon into the forest, and after running for a long time, he gradually lost himself in the darkness.

The dense forest of Wakanda under the dark night was like a primeval forest. There were no signboards and nothing to tell the direction. Su Ze soon got lost here.

"Rocket, where are you? Rocket?"

Holding a light machine gun, Su Ze kept looking around.

He ran straight in without turning any direction. He thought Rocket Raccoon would be waiting for him in the forest, but after running for a long time, he actually lost him.

It's no wonder. Rocket is a little raccoon after all. When he enters the forest, it's like a dragon returning to the sea. Not to mention late at night, even in the daytime, Su Ze would not be able to find any trace of him.

There was no way out. Su Ze, who had lost his way, could only move forward little by little, calling Rocket Raccoon's name softly while ensuring his own safety.

Fortunately, this light machine gun is equipped with a flashlight. With a certain amount of light, Su Ze does not completely lose his vision in the dark.

However, Su Ze did not dare to be careless at this moment, because he knew very well what was in this forest.

He was not very afraid of ordinary wild beasts, but those vanguards were no joke. With a burly figure over two meters tall, four strong arms and sharp claws, they were much more dangerous than any other wild beasts in the world.

When Su Ze thought of those hideous monsters, his hands holding the gun became wet and a lot of sweat came out.

"Rocket, where are you?"

"Stop messing around and come out."

"Didn't we agree to hunt together? This joke is not funny at all."

Being very careful along the way, Su Ze felt that his low blood pressure had been cured.

"Great Suze, it's perfect."

Pursing his lips, Su Ze looked around at the gloomy environment and said self-deprecatingly.

"It's just the first day of your time travel. Not only did you not sleep well at night, you even ran to such a deserted place to hunt monsters from the movies."

At this moment, a slight "rustling" sound suddenly came from the dense forest behind Su Ze.

Hearing this voice, Su Ze felt a chill on his back and all the hairs on his body stood up.

He turned suddenly and pointed the gun at the place where the sound came from.

Su Ze could be sure that the sound was definitely not caused by the wind. There must be something moving slowly in the dense woods.

Su Ze picked up the light machine gun and aimed his eyes at the optical tactical sight.

At the same time, he spoke with a trembling voice.

"Rocket, is that you?"
