Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 99 The troops are divided into two groups
In northern New York State, at the gate of the new Avengers Base, a dark blue Chevrolet slowly stopped in front of the lifting pole.

Then, a man fully armed and holding a gun slowly walked forward.

"Sorry, according to the instructions from above, the New Avengers Base is now in a blocked area. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter or exit. Please show your relevant documents or drive out in reverse."

The car window slowly rolled down, and Happy Hogan looked at the agent in front of him with a serious expression. "Blockade? What blockade? I've never heard of this place being blocked before."

"This is an order that was just issued this morning." The agent said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Happy Hogan's heart tightened.

If Kaia and the others were barely under control after being captured by the Skrulls, then now that the new Avengers base was blocked for no reason, he felt something was unusual.

You know, the whole world is now in a state of post-disaster reconstruction, and some places are even about to enter a state of civilizational fracture. At this time, the New Avengers Base, as one of the government hubs, not only did not find a way to deal with it as soon as possible, but also closed its doors. This made Happy Hogan feel depressed.

I'm afraid those Skrulls can no longer hold back. If Tony is not rescued as soon as possible, it will be too late.

Thinking of this, Happy Hogan's eyes widened and he spoke in a stern voice.

"Don't you know me? I'm the chief financial officer of Stark Industries!"

But apparently, the agent did not change his mind because of Happy Hogan's identity.

"No matter who you are, even if you are the chancellor, I have no right to let you in without a written document from my superiors."

"My boss is the head of the Avengers! Even the captain has to be polite when talking to me. Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you stop me!?"

Happy Hogan suddenly opened the car door, got out of the car, pushed the agent directly, and continued to speak.

"I'm telling you, I'm here for something very important. If you stop me and delay things, can you afford the responsibility? Call your boss over here. I want to see where you get the courage from."

After being pushed inexplicably, the agent's face looked a little unhappy, but he was not angry. After all, he really couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him.

Although Happy Hogan in his department had no right to control him, it was still easy for the other party to make things difficult for him with his connections, which made him at a loss as to what to do for a moment.

It is normal that when gods fight, little devils suffer no matter where you are. On the one hand, the task he received was to seal off the New Avengers base and no one was allowed to enter. On the other hand, he really couldn't use force against the fat man in front of him.

If anyone else, such as someone from the military, dared to force their way through, he would have drawn his gun without saying a word. However, Happy Hogan in front of him was different. As he said, his boss was indeed the head of the Avengers.

Happy Hogan pointed at the agent guarding the gate and shouted angrily, as if he was ready to make a big scene here, which directly attracted the attention of several agents around.

Many people looked over here curiously, and they obviously recognized Happy Hogan's identity.

At this moment, a yellowish shadow quickly emerged from under the car while no one was paying attention, and sneaked into the gate booth like lightning.

"I have to go in today. No one can stop me. Do you know how much money I will lose if I delay you for one minute? You can't afford it even if you work for several lifetimes. Do you understand?"

Happy Hogan glanced at the gatehouse and found that Rocket had successfully sneaked into the designated location. He continued to yell, trying to get all the agents present to look at him.

The agent guarding the gate was also helpless with Happy Hogan's rogue appearance. He took a step back while comforting the fat man in front of him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hogan. Without the authorization of my superiors, I really can't let you in. Please don't make it difficult for me. Why don't you just call the people inside? As long as they give the nod, I'll let you in."

"I want to make a phone call? Why should I make a phone call? I've been here so many times and have never been stopped at the door. Call your superior here. I want to see who is so blind!"

"Mr. Hogan, I have no rights."

"Scream for me! Scream now!" Happy Hogan interrupted the other party directly, which made many agents frown and look sideways.

Seeing that Happy Hogan was becoming more and more excessive, the agent had no choice but to sigh.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll contact my superior."

“You really scream.”

"Ok?"

Now it was Happy Hogan's turn to be dumbfounded, but he quickly reacted and continued to stick his neck out and point at the agent's nose and speak.

".I'm telling you to hurry up and call him. It's best if he comes to see me right now. I don't believe it. Nick Fury didn't stop me when he was still around."

The agent glanced at Happy Hogan speechlessly, then turned around and prepared to go back to the gate booth to contact his superiors through the internal phone.

At this moment, the communicator on his waist suddenly rang.

I picked it up and saw from the caller ID 'A-GUB-023' that this was an encrypted instruction signal from within the New Avengers Base.

After the call was connected, a hoarse voice soon came out from the receiver of the communicator.

(Gate C, what’s going on?)
The agent was visibly stunned when he heard the name. In his memory, this incoming call was usually a female voice. But he didn't think much about it and answered truthfully. "It's Happy Hogan, the financial director of Stark Industries. He wants to enter the base, but there is no instruction from his superiors."

(Did he make any internal briefings in advance?)

"No." The agent shook his head.

(Did he tell me what he wanted to do when he came in?)
The person on the other end of the communicator continued to ask.

Hearing this, the agent turned around and looked at Happy Hogan, and seeing him tilting his head back with an air of being the best in the world, he sighed speechlessly, then turned around and continued.

"No, he just said he had something important to do, but he didn't actually explain."

After the words were spoken, there was a brief silence on the other end of the communicator.

After a moment, the strange voice spoke again, giving instructions in a deep voice.

(Let him in.)
"But..." The agent wanted to say something.

(I have already contacted them, and what they said was to ignore him, check his identity information and personal belongings, and then let him in.)
"Ok."

Finally, the agent gave in. He had already done what he was supposed to do, and he was not the one who gave the order to enter. If anything went wrong, it would most likely not be his fault.

Hanging the communicator back on his waist, the agent looked at Happy Hogan with contempt and disgust, paused, and then stepped forward to conduct the most basic security check on him.

After checking that there was no dangerous item on Happy Hogan's body or in the car, the gatekeeper agent opened the lift bar and let Happy Hogan in.

Happy Hogan started the car arrogantly, stepped on the accelerator and drove straight in. When he raised the window, he gasped loudly.

Wiping the cold sweat from his head, Happy Hogan was filled with fear.

"As for that, you are too timid."

At this time, Rocket Raccoon, who came in from nowhere, jumped from the back seat to the passenger seat again.

"You're not the one acting emotionally, are you? These people are serious agents, and they have real guns in their hands. What if one accidentally goes off?" Happy Hogan patted his chest. His heart was still beating very fast.

After a pause, he turned around and looked at Rocket with a smile.

"Well, I acted pretty well just now, didn't I? Everyone's attention was attracted by me. It's all thanks to me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to sneak in so easily."

"hehe."

Rocket Raccoon rolled his eyes and ignored Happy Hogan, instead clicking on the tablet in his hand.

"Do you really think there are only those agents here? Those Skrulls definitely control the surveillance of the entire New Avengers base. If I hadn't hacked into their system, we would have been exposed long ago."

Hearing this, Happy Hogan nodded thoughtfully. The situation just now was indeed very urgent. If Rocket had not invaded their communicator, the agent would probably have contacted his superiors directly.

By that time, it is unclear whether they can get in. In any case, it will not be easy to rescue Tony Stark.

"What's next?" Happy Hogan asked.

All of Rocket Raccoon's attention was focused on the tablet in his hand. On the screen were the surveillance cameras of the new Avengers bases and the safe passage posts. He clicked a few times quickly, and one of the red lines turned green.

"Go straight and then turn left. I have covered the information of this road in advance. It won't be a problem to deceive the people in the monitoring room. As long as they don't notice anything wrong, it doesn't matter if we are seen."

"Ok." Happy Hogan nodded. Since Rocket said so, he could drive with confidence.

This was not the first time Happy Hogan had come to the new Avengers base. He had been here countless times before. Even when Peter Parker came here for the first time, he was the one who drove him there. Therefore, he was very familiar with every tree and blade of grass there.

However, what was different from the previous times was that when driving in the new Avengers base, Happy Hogan found that there were fewer pedestrians around, and there was always a sense of emptiness when looking from the outside.

"Where are the people inside? Wasn't it said to be blocked? Why are there so few people?"

"All the agents from the operations department have been sent out. The Skrulls want to deal with the Avengers, so they can't leave too many people here."

Rocket Raccoon answered without even looking up, then he stared at the screen for a while, turned to Happy Hogan and spoke.

"We found the location. Steve Rogers is in the administrative building, Agent Natasha is in a meeting on the third floor, Bruce Banner has not come out of the laboratory, and as for Tony Stark, he is still in the sanatorium."

"I'm going to save Tony!" Happy Hogan said directly.

Hearing this, Rocket Raccoon nodded silently.

"Okay, then I'll go find Natasha first. This place is closest to her."
