Chapter 229

Chapter 228, There is a safe passage, but I blew it up

"Listen, Lang, I only say this to you. You are the youngest here, and your loyalty to the organization is the least valuable, so I need you to be alive. If I can't resist the temptation or destruction of the other party, you need to kill me with your own hands!"

Joey's words were full of trust and expectation. It seemed that he had given his life to the young man in front of him.

Lang was a little stunned. He really had never seen Joey like this. Through the other's pupils, he seemed to really see some unusual looks.

Lang was not sure what that look was hiding, but he had understood Joey's intention.

"I know, boss, if that's the case, I will shoot!"

Noticing that Lang's body was no longer shaking, Joey breathed a sigh of relief, but a dark corner deep in his heart expanded a little unconsciously.

Joey didn't dare to look at Lang again. He patted Lang's shoulder and took the lead to stride towards the elevator entrance.

Lang, who was behind him, looked at Joey's back, and the fear in his heart faded a little. He moved his right hand holding the pistol tightly, and then followed Joey's pace.

...

Ding!

The elevator stopped steadily on the second floor below ground. With a crisp prompt sound, the closed metal door slowly opened to both sides, revealing the environment outside the elevator.

Lainie stood in the middle of the elevator, not afraid of the two people who had been waiting outside for a long time. Facing the bright lights in the corridor on the second floor below ground, she was the first to walk out of the elevator.

"Are you the CIA intelligence agent in charge of this place?"

Lainie didn't pay any attention to the other party's gun pointing directly at her and others. The eyes behind the sunglasses didn't even stay on the other party's face for a long time, and began to observe the environment here.

Although Lainie had scanned this underground intelligence house through the radar system long before the elevator door opened.

But before she saw it with her own eyes, she really didn't think that the environment here could be so clean and tidy.

Originally, she thought that this group of people had been hiding underground for so long, and this intelligence house must have become damp and dirty, but she didn't expect that the situation here was far less bad than she imagined.

Lainie glanced around and noticed that in addition to the two people in front of her, there were four other people busy doing something.

They seemed to be destroying data?

Are they afraid that we would steal their confidential information?

"Didn't your boss say that you were about to run out of ammunition and food? Why do I think you seem to be doing well?"

Returning her gaze to the two people in front of her, Lainie looked at the man who was obviously older than her.

Joey noticed the other party's words, "your boss", it sounded like these three people were not the good-for-nothings mentioned above.

But he did not put away his weapons immediately, but frowned and said:

"Who are you?"

Lainie raised her eyebrows and did not answer the other party's question directly.

"Joey, right? The person in charge here? The young man behind you should be Lang, am I right?"

The person in charge, Joey, twitched his mouth. The other party actually knew all the information about him and others.

This is troublesome!

However, Joey did not know that these data were actually temporarily told to Lainie by Skye, who was far away in the sky, by hacking into the intelligence room to monitor and comparing the CIA system data.

"Tell the remaining four of you to stop working and pack up your things and follow us. Your boss is waiting."

Laini had no intention of going in. Six big men had been hiding in the dark basement for several months. She had no intention of going in even if it looked clean on the surface.

Joey looked at the three men in front of him. He could tell from their combat uniforms that they should also be agents, or top agents who specialized in field missions.

But he couldn't tell from the armbands on the other side what kind of forces they belonged to. What did the eagle-like logo mean?

MI6? Or some organization he had never heard of?

Seeing that the other side was still unmoved, Lainie became a little impatient and had to conjure up her SHIELD ID from her palm like a magic trick.

"SHIELD agent, I am entrusted by your CIA chief to take you out of here."

He threw the ID to the other side, and then signaled Agent Ward behind him to go and connect with the other side. He was good at this kind of work.

Then Lainie stepped back half a step and stood beside Natasha, muttering in a voice that seemed to be low but could be heard clearly by the people on the other side:

"These guys are really funny, boring."

Joey, who was flipping through the documents to check the authenticity, was furious when he heard this, but he really couldn't do anything to them since they looked so confident.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. SHIELD, it's normal that you don't know, we are a secret agency."

Ward handed her his ID, then indicated that he and others had no hostility, and gave a kind smile to the young man behind Joey.

"How do I know if you are lying to us?"

The young Lang was outspoken and still didn't dare to let down his guard, with his gun still pointed directly at the four people in front of him.

"I have a letter signed by your CIA head and General Ross here, you will know after reading it."

Since the rescue mission was temporary, these CIA members were not aware that the military had temporarily assigned the rescue mission to SHIELD.

Although they had contacted the CIA leaders several times, even their direct superiors were not very clear about the matter.

They only knew that the military's special forces could not come here, and then the military pushed the mess to others.

"General Ross?"

Joey was stunned. He still knew this name. When he was still able to contact the CIA's superiors, the superiors told him that this rescue mission would be entrusted to General Ross.

Taking the order letter handed over by Ward, Joey carefully compared it with the light to identify the anti-counterfeiting mark on it. After confirming that it was indeed an order letter from the CIA and the military, he opened it.

"According to the information provided by your superiors, do you have a secret passage leading to the outside?"

Ward looked around. In this corridor, except for the rooms clearly marked with the command room and warehouse, the doors of other rooms were closed. He could not tell where the so-called safe passage was set.

Joey read the contents of the order carefully and confirmed that these people were indeed sent by their superiors to rescue them, but he did not feel the slightest sense of security in his heart.

Putting the order in his arms, Joey signaled Lang behind him to put down his gun.

"That's right, but the passage to the outside world was destroyed by us a month ago."

This matter is also very helpless. They could have escaped from here through that passage, but the resistance army started a war near that exit.

They were in the center of the war and had to retreat back to the passage. In the end, in order to prevent the enemy from discovering this secret passage, Joey had to order the exit to be blown up.

Then they had to stay in this basement without sunlight for more than a month.
