American Comics' Spear Bureau Special Service Team

Basically, each branch of S.H.I.E.L.D. has a good medical system, equipped with a complete set of operating rooms and medical personnel.

Because most of the time when an agent is injured, it's still a little troublesome to go to a regular hospital, just like the woman who is undergoing emergency surgery in the operating room now.

A wound that penetrates the entire abdomen does not mean that this kind of wound cannot be saved or cured by ordinary hospitals. Such wounds may occasionally be caused by steel bars punctured at construction sites.

But Natasha's wound was caused by a bullet. Yes, a bullet penetrated her entire lower abdomen. Chu Ling, who was watching the operation in the operating room, had to sigh at her good luck. No matter which way the bullet went, it would still be the same. Another unlucky guy turned into a corpse.

"Ok, done, I'll leave the stitching to you."

Chu Ling looked at the chief surgeon, and then glanced at the deputy who looked very excited after hearing the doctor's words.

"That Dr. Ling, this is Madam."

Doctor Ling, who was taking off his gloves, looked back and said, "It's saved, no problem."

"The wound..." Chu Ling tilted his head and glanced at the assistant who was about to suture the wound.

The doctor looked back, then looked at Chu Ling: "Why do you still need female agents in the United States to seduce you?"

Chu Ling thought for a while and did not continue. He nodded to the other party and walked out.

However, the attending doctor took a look, thought for a moment and waved to the nurse: "I'll do the gloves, after all, ma'am, I will practice on your hands next time I have the chance."

The eyelids of the patient lying on the operating table moved for a moment, and then there was no movement.

Chu Ling walked out of the operating room, took off his mask and sterile surgical gown, and then walked towards his waiting staff, who handed him a tablet recorder.

"The deceased was Kianush Jalali, an Iranian nuclear weapons engineer. The bullet in his body was of Soviet standard. It had no rifling and could not be traced."

Listening to the report of his field agents, Chu Ling did not express any opinions. He just looked at the relevant information on his tablet computer. There were many photos of the rescue scene.

The car overturned and landed at the foot of a cliff near Odessa. The evacuation point was not far away. The tire burst was the main reason why he lost control and fell off the cliff.

This was a protection and evacuation mission. Judging from the results, the mission certainly failed. The protected target was now dead and was solved with one shot.

Of course, if the mission fails, a report must be submitted. The Internal Affairs Department will file a record to check if there are any problems in the process. At first, Chu Ling did not understand why the black widow was not sent to the nearest branch, but was arranged to come to his side.

Now that he has read the report, he understands a little bit more. In the record report, the problem was already explained in the request for rescue by Black Widow before she fell into coma.

The one who took action this time was the Winter Soldier, the mysterious warrior that Chu Ling and the other party nicknamed the Winter Soldier.

As the two of them talked about last time, major intelligence organizations only have vague records of this murderer. In the past 45 years, the other party has recorded nearly 20 assassinations.

But judging by time, from the first time he was discovered, he should have been an old man, but every time witnesses reported it was a young man.

Therefore, it was reasonable to place the Black Widow who met the same target this time on Chu Ling's side, because he had also met the so-called Winter Soldier. Of course, only the director, the Black Widow at the time, and Hawkeye knew about this.

No records were taken that time, but a verbal report was given to the Director.

After watching the whole process, Chu Ling had some ideas of his own, but the details still had to wait until Natasha woke up.

The director asked him to handle this matter. The main purpose was to confirm that the Black Widow was unreliable and to see if there was any suspicion of lying in this matter. After all, the protected target was still very important. If someone else came to confirm, it would be because he had not seen it at all. Winter Soldier is more difficult to confirm authenticity.

But it is true that Black Widow still has its merits, and decisions about these things can only be made after asking.

. . . . . .

I went out for afternoon tea and returned to the branch with a fruit basket around three o'clock. I went straight to the ward and walked in.

Natasha, who was lying on the bed, turned her head and looked over. When she saw the person coming, the corners of her mouth moved.

"The digestive system has not been damaged. The doctor said you can eat. What do you want to eat?"

"apple."

Chu Ling looked at the fruit basket, and then said with a regretful expression: "There's nothing in it. It seems that when I go to the hospital here, people don't give away apples. Can I have mangoes?"

"kindness."

Chu Ling walked over and shook the bed a little first. The other party's wound seemed dangerous, but after the first aid time, it was not serious, and the internal organs were hardly damaged.

Natasha watched Chu Ling casually take out the dagger, then cut the mango along the core, then made a small grid, then turned it inward, and then used it to cut a small square and put it in her mouth. come over.

"My hand is fine."

Chu Ling put the dagger into his mouth, and then handed the cut mango to the other party.

"There was just one bullet at the scene."

Natasha looked over sideways, but did not immediately answer Chu Ling's words. She took a mouthful of mango and said, "The one who hit him came from here."

Chu Ling frowned.

Natasha looked at his expression, and then laughed at herself: "Isn't it the right thing to do a protection mission and block bullets for the target? This is what Barton taught me."

"Winter Soldier?" Chu Ling cut the other half of the slice, put it aside and continued to ask, holding the mango core in his hand and chewing on it.

"Yes, much better than me. I shot out a tire while driving at high speed." After eating something, Natasha no longer felt weak when she spoke.

"Okay, if it's really him, Romanov, how can you explain that he appeared during your two missions?" Chu Ling threw away the mango core and took out a tissue to wipe it.

Black Widow's eyes narrowed following Chu Ling's words, and then she stopped eating and looked at him.

The two just looked at each other.

"I almost died."

The other party's eyes were a little disappointed. Chu Ling looked at the other party and finally sighed. Without judging whether the other party was acting, he took out a tissue and handed it to the other party.

"I believe you, because I have fought against him." Chu Ling at least confirmed that without precautions, the Black Widow would indeed suffer when encountering the Winter Soldier. One was unprepared, while the other was setting up an ambush.

But the problem comes again. If Natasha is not acting, then this incident indicates a very serious situation. There is a traitor within SHIELD, and he is a high-level person.

Chu Ling didn't believe that the Winter Soldier could stop them twice in a row.

"When can I leave the hospital?"

"Listen to the doctor." Chu Ling paused and finally said, "Will you recover from your injury in Hong Kong?"

Natasha picked up the other half of the mango, then looked at Chu Ling: "Where do I live?"

"My home, right?"

"...still don't believe me."

Chu Ling smiled.

"You can think that I'm protecting you. Let me go and report to Fury."

Watching Chu Ling go out, Natasha looked at the fruit basket beside her, then she didn't know what she was thinking, and finally she curled her lips and shook her head.

"Family?"
