Nuclear Bomb Town.

An abandoned town that was forgotten deep in the Mojave Desert after the end of the Cold War, but now seems to have been repopulated.

The town is filled with buildings that have gradually decayed over time, and plastic mannequins dressed in 1950s clothes are scattered in every corner of the streets.

The town's four exits are now guarded by fully armed soldiers.

but--

They weren't soldiers, at least not military personnel.

Of course, they weren't SHIELD soldiers either.

earlier.

Just as Mike climbed the Kelso dunes, a security camera in a room in the town sounded an urgent alarm.

A soldier walked out of the room and looked at the bald man standing outside, who was well-built and wearing a dark tactical jacket.

"Sir, we have neighbors now."

"Neighbor?"

Upon hearing the sound, the bald man looked towards the soldier who had come out, then followed the soldier into the room, immediately looking at the computer screen on the table.

into the eye.

It was a live satellite image of Mike sitting cross-legged on one leg in the Kelso dunes.

The bald man frowned slightly.

"Identity verification?"

"Mike Ametra, male, 21 years old, New Yorker, graduated from New Jersey City University, holds a New York State CPA license, currently unemployed."

On the other side, the soldier had already obtained some basic information about Mike through facial recognition, and immediately stood up and revealed it when the bald man asked.

The bald man listened to the soldier's report while watching the satellite live feed, which showed Mike sitting motionless on Kelso Hill with one leg crossed.

"Tourists?"

"Highly likely."

The soldier who first discovered Mike didn't rule out any possibility: "According to the tests, no weapons were found on him or in his surroundings. Furthermore, he had travel records to London and Norway earlier this year, and there was no evidence that he had any connection with us or our guests."

Just as the soldier was reporting, the door was pushed open from the outside.

next second.

A woman with deep-set features, black curly hair, and wearing a floral dress walked in.

"What happened?"

"A neighbor has come."

The bald man turned and glanced at the woman who had entered: "Have you convinced our guest?"

The woman smiled and said, "He's Phil Coulson, after all. He's not so easily persuaded."

Yes.

Their guest here is Phil Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D.

To be precise, they kidnapped us and brought us here.

Their goal was simple: they wanted to know the secret behind Phil Coulson's miraculous resurrection after the Battle of New York.

As for who they are?

The Centipede Organization is attempting to miraculously create the perfect centipede warrior by using the "Extremis Virus," the "Residual Formula of Super Soldier Serum," and "Gamma Rays."

The man's name was Edison Poe.

A former naval officer and tactical expert, he was arrested and imprisoned for gouging out his friend's eyes with a steak knife while dining at a restaurant. After being rescued by the Centipede Warriors, he became a military tactician for the Centipede organization.

His ability to capture Phil Coulson this time was also a masterpiece.

The woman's name is Reina.

She is the chief scientist and chief recruiter of the Centipede organization. The Centipede warrior Mike Peterson, whom Phil Coulson encountered earlier, was recruited by her, and she was also the one who transformed Mike Peterson into the Death Warrior he is today.

Because of Coulson's resistance, Lena is trying to persuade him, because only in this way can she glimpse the secret of Coulson's resurrection.

But it takes time.

As Lena spoke, she also looked at the live satellite image of Mike on the computer screen.

"Is there trouble?"

"Probably not."

Edison Bo shook his head: "A tourist came, we'll keep a close eye on him. Right now, our primary target is Phil Coulson, who's also the one Clairvoyant values ​​most."

Lena said she understood, and then didn't linger there, turning around and leaving the room.

Edison Poe's job was to ensure Phil Coulson's safety upon his arrival and to ensure the successful execution of the plan to spy on Coulson's supposed resurrection.

This is also his most important task.

As for Mike, who was sitting cross-legged on the Kelso dunes on the screen in front of him, he was not his target.

until--

The moment night slowly falls, the moment a comet from the constellation Phoenix flies past the Earth.

The once pitch-black night sky above the Kelso Dunes suddenly seemed to be ablaze.

"Beep beep beep!"

"What happened?"

"Thick and greasy, thank you."

"Satellite monitoring shows that the energy index of the Kelso dunes is rising at a high density."

"Energy attribute?"

"unknown!"

As the soldier rapidly typed on the keyboard, he responded to Edison Poe, who had once again rushed to the room to inquire.

"Energy source?"

"Locating..."

The soldier said this, and then the result came out after he finished speaking. Mike, sitting cross-legged on the Kelso dunes, occupied the entire computer screen: "Energy source... him."

Edison Poe stared at Mike in the satellite image and paused for a moment, stunned.

into the eye.

At this moment, Mike was covered in blood, as if he were surrounded by a ball of fire. The scene was not exactly unscientific, but it was certainly visually striking.

"Didn't they say there was no problem with his identity?"

"That's right. His records are clean; he's an ordinary citizen."

"You call this what ordinary people are?"

Edison Poe stared intently at the impactful image of Mike on the computer screen and couldn't help but utter a word.

If this seemingly godlike Mike is considered an ordinary person...

What about them?

poor?

wrong.

They probably don't even qualify as human beings anymore.

But that's not important.

Edison Poe's eyes were fixed on Mike on the Kelso Dunes.

Suddenly.

"Send men over there and bring him back."

"Sir?"

Upon hearing Edison Poe's order, the soldier turned to look at his superior.

Edison Poe stared at Mike on the computer screen, his eyes gleaming with undisguised greed.

He didn't know why Mike was there.

But he was curious to know how Mike generated such a high level of energy.

He was curious.

Since they dare to kidnap S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, kidnapping a civilian is naturally no big deal for them.

Not to mention that this was an unexpected surprise.

and so!

"Have Ellie lead the team over there, bring the freeze gun, and bring this civilian back."

"……yes!"
