Chapter 153 The Hand's Raid
Late at night, Hell's Kitchen.
Outside the Carter Group building, a small team of fully armed guards, as usual, patrolled and guarded the gate of the park.
However, this team of guards is not actually employees of the Carter Group, but field agents from S.H.I.E.L.D.
In fact, among the security personnel of the entire Hell's Kitchen, there are not many people who really belong to the Carter Group, most of them are agents from S.H.I.E.L.D.
Most of the staff of the Carter Group and the Stark Group here are just civilian staff and engineering construction personnel.
The reason for this situation is also very simple. After all, the Carter Group and the Stark Group are business groups. Although their security personnel are also professionals hired from various related fields.
However, in terms of eliteness and professionalism, no matter how you compare, it is impossible to compare with the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
So Peggy Carter and Tony Stark simply didn't care about this matter, and handed all security matters to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Because they are confident that before the keel is officially excavated, S.H.I.E.L.D. will never dare to make any small moves.
On the other hand, the Carter Group and the Stark Group have always maintained the highest military position in Hell's Kitchen.
And this highest military force is naturally Captain Britain, Peggy Carter herself.
It is also with such a configuration that Hell's Kitchen has been unprecedentedly stable in the past two years.
The security of the entire community has changed from the worst in Manhattan to the safest place in New York.
But obviously, some people do not want it to be so stable all the time.
The SHIELD agents who were on guard were very vigilant, but they could not resist the cheats.
I saw that among the shadows of these guards, a series of black shadows suddenly emerged, and the sharp blades passed, killing all the armed guards of SHIELD.
After the death of these guards at the gate, the black shadows gathered at the door, revealing their figures faintly.
It was the four teams of ninjas from the Hand.
Just from the fact that they easily killed all the guards at the gate just now, the strength of these Hand ninjas is obviously far beyond the strength of those Hand ninjas that Peggy Carter had dealt with before.
They even have the special ability to hide in the shadows.
Then, four figures of different shapes appeared in front of the four teams of ninjas.
If Li Wei was here, he would definitely recognize that these four people were the four fingers left in the Hand except for the Bo Tu.
And after the four people appeared.
Another petite figure appeared out of thin air in front of the Hand ninja army.
"Welcome Your Majesty!" Seeing the appearance of this figure, the four fingers and the ninjas all half-knelt and saluted.
Then the figure turned around and revealed a relatively young face.
It was the wanted criminal that SHIELD was searching for all over the world recently, the host of Black Sky who slaughtered an entire SHIELD research base, Ava Starr!
Born in 1989, she is actually only 16 years old this year.
It's just that she grew up under the surveillance of SHIELD, and now she has become the host of Black Sky, so there is no innocence on her face that young people should have, but only endless coldness.
"Has the periphery been cleaned up?" Ava Starr asked.
"It has been cleaned up, but the guards here have a strict response mechanism. They will find the fall here in three minutes at most." Alexandra, the former head of the five fingers of the Hand, replied.
"Three minutes? That's enough. We must get the dragon bone today!" Ava Starr said coldly.
According to the intelligence obtained previously, SHIELD's excavation of the dragon bone has entered the final stage, and only the last "Dragon Gate" is left to block SHIELD's final excavation of the dragon bone.
And this is why Ava Starr appeared here.
If she didn't know that the dragon bone was about to appear, she would never appear here.
Both she and the Black Sky in her body knew that SHIELD was not easy to mess with - although she slaughtered an entire research base, it was largely because SHIELD's internal defense had loopholes that allowed her to seize the opportunity.
So her ability to escape from the SHIELD base does not mean that she will be so arrogant that she thinks she can compete with the entire SHIELD.
But for the dragon bone, she must take the risk today.
Because the dragon bone can greatly enhance the power of Black Sky. Only by truly devouring the dragon bone under New York.
Only then can Black Sky recover all his strength, and Ava Starr have the confidence to fight against SHIELD.
And the four fingers of the Hand are not to be mentioned.
Before the discovery of the dragon bone in New York, their dragon bone inventory was already in a critical situation.
Then, under the guidance of Levi and Tony, they were hit by Peggy Carter and SHIELD.
The already scarce dragon bones made the situation worse.
The dragon bones under New York are their last hope.
If they can't get the dragon bones, they will soon die completely due to aging like ordinary humans.
So they can only fight!
Then, under the command of Ava Starr, the four fingers led the ninja army through the gate of the park and attacked the Carter Group Building.
The excavation site for the dragon bones is located underground in the Carter Group building.
Faced with the sudden attack, the SHIELD agents responsible for the safety of the entire excavation area finally reacted at this time, analyzed that the attackers were the Hand, and immediately began to organize a counterattack.
But obviously, like the agents at the gate before, the agents in the excavation area still had intelligence information about the Hand.
They never thought that the Hand ninjas today could actually attack through human shadows.
So they suffered a great loss and the defense line was quickly broken.
And during the battle, some SHIELD agents discovered something even more devastating.
That is, those Hand ninjas who had been killed would soon stand up again and continue to fight.
Obviously, this is the same as their ability to shuttle through shadows, and it is also the new power given to these ninjas by the completely unlocked black sky.
Because the underground is the dragon bone excavation site that has been dug very deep.
So in order to avoid accidents such as collapse, the SHIELD agents cannot use heavy weapons.
So under the impact of the Hand ninjas, they became more and more passive.
Soon, the Hand's ninja army broke through several defense lines and entered the depths of the underground excavation site.
It was also here that the Hand's raid finally came to a brief halt.
Because among the defense personnel of the SHIELD agents on the opposite side, a rather special existence appeared.
Hawkeye Barton!
