Chapter 185 What Good News, Lu Dan Retired?
"Good news! Good news!"
Simmons rushed into the lounge of the investigation team excitedly, gesticulating and signaling everyone to look at him.
"Why, Egghead announced his retirement?"
Laini was studying her new individual optical camouflage system with Meister, and was so shocked by Simmons's shout that she forgot what she was going to say.
"Uh... that's not the case."
Turning around, he rolled his eyes at the girl, signaling her to speak quickly if she had anything to say, and not to keep her in suspense.
"Ahem! I just got the news from Coulson that they agreed to wake up Mr. Steve Rogers!"
Laini was stunned, thinking that this day had finally come.
"Yes, the director agreed to your plan, and Ms. Carter also hopes to wake up Mr. Rogers." Almost at the same time, Coulson's voice sounded from outside the door, and continued along with Simmons' words: "And Ms. Carter hopes to meet everyone and participate in this recovery plan." Simmons was startled by the voice behind her. She didn't notice that Coulson had been following her, and hurriedly made way for the door to let him in. "In addition, Lainie, Ms. Carter hopes that you will carry out this recovery plan." As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes were all focused on Lainie, full of envy and expectation. But Lainie felt something was wrong when she heard this. What does Agent Carter mean? There are so many people in SHIELD, why did she specifically ask me to carry out the execution? Isn't Coulson obviously more suitable? "Can you tell me why?" Lainie did not agree directly, but looked at Coulson with suspicion. "I don't know, maybe it's because she used your alchemy potion?"
Coulson didn't have an answer to this either. He only knew that the old man had paid special attention to Lainie since he sent someone to give Ms. Carter an alchemy potion to cure her illness a while ago.
"By the way, to express her gratitude, she also hopes to meet you alone before the plan starts."
"Alchemy potion? Have you used the alchemy potion on her?"
Lainie nodded thoughtfully. If that's the case, it's acceptable.
I heard that Peggy Carter was sick because of overwork when she was young, and she was plagued by various complications when she was old, until she was paralyzed in bed, and she was able to see Captain America for the last time.
But even so, Ms. Carter is nearly a hundred years old, which is already very long-lived.
Now if her disease is cured by her own alchemy potion, it would be a good thing.
"If we meet, we'll talk about it when we have a chance. If it's just for the sake of thanking, I think it's unnecessary."
Laini declined Agent Carter's invitation. What's the point of meeting an old woman? She's not a fan of the Shield.
"I'll convey it to Ms. Carter."
Coulson didn't think there was anything wrong with this, because the other party just mentioned it. As Lainie said, it was just a thank you, so it didn't matter whether he met or not.
Walking to the computer, Coulson used his authority to show everyone all the information about the recovery plan.
"Since we were the executors of the last [Snowman Plan] and submitted a plan for unblocking Mr. Rogers, the director decided to give us the execution of this recovery plan."
Everyone gathered at the conference table. This lounge has become a small base for the investigation team, and it's just a sign on the door.
"Laini, as the executor of this recovery plan, your authority will be temporarily upgraded, and the personnel, funds, and equipment required for the implementation of the plan will be given to you until Mr. Rogers fully wakes up."
In a word, Coulson meant that the plan to wake up Captain America will be fully responsible by Lainie, which seems to be a lot of convenience and benefits.
But in fact, once there is a problem in the implementation of the plan, such as Captain America's mental disorder after awakening, Lainie, as the person in charge, will bear all the responsibility.
For ordinary people, this job is a hot potato.
"Okay, I know."
Laini nodded indifferently, she didn't care, because she was confident that Captain America would not have an accident.
Even if an accident really happened, she was sure to save him.
Isn't it just Mephisto? It's not like they haven't met before, so why should they be afraid of him.
……
A week later——
"How is his physical condition?"
Laini folded her arms and looked through the glass at the busy laboratory inside.
"The second level of thawing has been completed. Mr. Rogers' body is currently in a low-activity state, similar to animal hibernation. His metabolism is very slow. I think he will be able to recover soon." Fitz reported the current situation of the investigation team to Lainie, but he would glance aside from time to time while reporting. Lainie pretended not to see it and asked Fitz if he could go in and take a look. "This..." Fitz was a little embarrassed, and his eyes drifted to the old man on Lainie's other side again. "I think it should be okay, but it's better to let Mr. Rogers stay in the cryogenic chamber." Lainie nodded. She understood what Fitz meant and turned to look at the white-haired old man next to her. "Let's go in, Ms. Carter." That's right, the old man next to her is Peggy Carter, one of the three elders of S.H.I.E.L.D.
At this time, she no longer had the beauty she once had. If it weren't for Lainie's alchemy potion, she would have had difficulty getting out of bed.
Fortunately, after the old man recovered from his illness, he was in good spirits. Although Lainie supported him at the time, her legs and feet were still quite agile, and she didn't look like a centenarian at all.
"Yeah."
Ms. Carter didn't say much, and let Lainie support her into the isolation room.
At this time, she didn't show much excitement. After all, after so many years, she had already let go of what she should have let go.
At least, the old man looked like this.
Seeing the two people come in, a group of researchers stopped their unimportant work, stood side by side, and waited for the old man's instructions.
Carter waved his hand, indicating that Lainie didn't need to help, and then she came to Captain America's cryogenic chamber by herself.
Through the glass of the cryogenic chamber, Carter saw the face of the sleeping person inside, still so handsome and so heart-warming.
This made her recall the night many years ago, the same angle, the same man.
When Rogers woke up from the machine, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the other's chest muscles...
Memories came to her mind, and the longing for many years turned into tears, slowly crossing the old man's wrinkled cheeks.
"Steve, you still owe me a dance."
Across the glass, the old man wanted to touch the man's face and feel the other's body temperature again.
"Steve, you made me wait too long, I have been waiting for you, waiting for you for 70 years..."
Eating noodles, Yaodao's lips, mouth ulcers, uncomfortable, difficult to concentrate, the second chapter is a little later.
