Chapter 380 New Aircraft "Airbus"
Afterwards, the news that Coulson was not dead quickly spread within SHIELD, and the rumors that Leni's alchemy potion could bring the dead back to life also became more and more intense. Except for a few senior agents who knew the inside story, most agents Believing that Leni has the ability to possess the flesh and bones of the living dead.
"Although it feels sad to be cheated, I still want to say, welcome back."
Seeing his old partner come back to life, Agent Sitwell took the initiative to extend his right hand to Coulson.
"Okay, as compensation tonight, I'll go to the Chinese restaurant we went to last time."
Coulson smiled and stretched out his right hand to shake it. This was not the first time he apologized to his colleagues today. Anyway, Leni said that the final bill would be counted on her, and he did not lose.
"It's a deal, that store is not cheap, I have to kill you today!"
There was a cunning look on Sitwell's face. He knew the situation of that store. The last time he took his men to dinner, he spent a lot of money. This time, he had to pay it back on Coulson. Just fine.
"Okay, let's go. It's ready over there. I'll take you there."
As he spoke, Sitwell calmed down the expression on his face and took the lead in boarding the off-road vehicle on the side, preparing to set off for a secret airport of SHIELD.
"The bureau knows about your aircraft and has specially approved a new large transport aircraft for you. As far as I know, this big thing is still in the testing stage. This is the only one, so you are very lucky."
"Oh? Really? That penniless guy Lu Dantou will also leave good things to us?"
Sitting in the back seat of the off-road vehicle, Leni played with the holographic tablet in her hand boredly, and said to the front without raising her head:
"I'm afraid the scientific research department happens to have some new gadgets that need to be tested, so why don't they use us as guinea pigs?"
Hearing this, Sitwell looked a little embarrassed. The truth was exactly what Leni said. That plane was indeed an experimental model that SHIELD planned to use for testing. When it was handed over to the investigation team, it was indeed asked to help with the testing. purpose.
But how could Sitwell dare to admit it at this time? He could only help his own director fight.
"How could that happen? How could Director Fury be so scheming~"
It's a pity that even he himself doesn't believe what he said.
"Hmph, whatever."
Naturally, Leni didn't believe it either, so she snorted and didn't continue.
Seeing that his old friend was a little embarrassed and couldn't get off the stage, good old Coulson hurriedly smoothed things over.
"It doesn't matter. There's nothing wrong with participating in the test. Isn't it the same way our previous Aegis 13 came here? Now it just so happens that we can change to a larger aircraft and fly. It's very good, very good..."
However, let alone Leni, even Melinda, who had been sitting silently in the back seat of the off-road vehicle, sneered at this. After snorting together with Leni, she continued to turn her head and look at the scenery outside the window.
Coulson didn't dare to speak when he heard the sound. He had no choice but to make this beautiful pilot still angry. It was all Leni's fault. Now that he was fine, he was no longer human inside and out.
In this way, maintaining the awkward atmosphere in the car, after a group of two off-road vehicles drove on the road for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at a secret airport belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Parking the off-road vehicle next to a hangar at the airport, Sitwell opened the door and got out of the car first.
"This is it. Parked inside is the new plane the bureau has prepared for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge hangar door slowly opened to both sides with the sound of rumbling machinery, and the behemoth that was originally hidden inside finally revealed itself.
"Oh my God, this is...our new plane?"
Skye and the others, who had just gotten off another off-road vehicle, stared at all this with their mouths agape. Fitz, who knew the situation better, almost dropped his jaw to the ground.
"Isn't this... no way? Could it be that the bureau plans to hand over this big guy to us?"
Looking at this behemoth that looks like a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, Leni finally showed a satisfied expression on her face.
"I didn't expect that guy Lu Dantou would actually spend a lot of money, right?"
Yes, this big plane is the six-engine "Airbus" from the first few seasons of the American TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". As the previous S.H.I.E.L.D. air command platform, it has After the aerospace aircraft carrier, it was finally completely eliminated.
And under the instruction of Nick Fury, the Bureau's logistics department upgraded it in all aspects, and finally gave it to Coulson and the investigation team as a gift.
"Just so-so."
Looking at this behemoth, the unhappiness on Melinda's face finally dissipated, and she couldn't help but want to immediately fly this aircraft to experience it. However, due to the presence of a junior, she finally tolerated it temporarily.
"Since the bureau no longer needs it as an air combat command center, Chief Fury decided to use it as a new mobile vehicle for your investigation team, so that you can travel between New York and Washington in the future. If necessary, you can also use it as a revenge vehicle. It’s a temporary place for you to stay and carry out your mission anytime and anywhere.”
Sitwell was very satisfied with the expressions of the investigation team. He chuckled and then led everyone towards the interior of the hangar.
"Come on, I'll take you to see inside. The bureau has put a lot of effort into transforming it."
As Sitwell said, this aircraft has indeed made a lot of changes in practicality.
The first thing to be affected is the aircraft's autopilot system. After Tony Stark's experience and lessons from multiple invasions of the Quinjet, the bureau specifically found Skye to upgrade the firewall of the SHIELD network and installed its new flight control system on this "Airbus".
Therefore, although the appearance of this aircraft still looks like the original SHIELD air command center, it has actually been completely transformed.
In addition, the interior of the cabin has also been greatly changed, from the original combat command center to an air office that is more inclined to life.
More comfortable living areas, rest areas, and entertainment areas have been added. In order to meet the experimental needs of the investigation team, many of the latest models of experimental equipment and facilities have been added, and isolation rooms have been added, striving to meet the life and work needs of the investigation team to the greatest extent.
The most important thing is that there is a parking space reserved on this plane. Two Chevrolet Suburbans can be parked at the rear door of the cabin. In this way, even if Lainie is not there, the investigation team does not have to worry about the problem of vehicles in the wild.
"This place is simply great. With this big guy, I would not mind even if I make another trip to the Arctic!"
Like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, Skye pulled Simmons around the plane happily up and down, and then sat down on the sofa with satisfaction and stretched comfortably.
"No, I don't want to take such a dangerous voyage again. It's a broken hand and a gunshot. That's not what a human would do."
Simmons also comfortably nestled in the sofa and shook his head. Now he still has lingering fears when he recalls the trip to the Arctic. If it weren't for Lainie, they would probably have fallen into the Arctic Ocean to feed sharks.
"It seems that you are very satisfied, so I feel relieved."
Hitwell looked at the satisfied people and thought that his mission was completed, so he didn't stay any longer and planned to say goodbye and leave.
"Why don't you stay here for a while? Just go to dinner with us tonight."
"No, I have something else to do at the bureau, I have to go back quickly, but don't worry, you will definitely need me to treat you, I will definitely be there tonight!"
Seeing that Hitwell really had something to do, Coulson didn't stay any longer. After watching Hitwell drive away, everyone returned to the plane and allocated their own beds.
Lennie looked at the energetic young people in front of her, with a smile on her face, and didn't get involved in their fighting, just folded her arms and watched.
"I want to see what this big guy can do. Do you want to come with me?"
At this time, Melinda, who was also smiling, suddenly invited her. She had been eager to fly this plane to the sky since the beginning. Now that Sitwell had left, she could just go to the cockpit and try it out.
Hearing this, Lainie's heart moved, and she couldn't help but feel a little itchy. After a moment of hesitation, she slowly uttered a destination.
"It's great. Let's fly to New Mexico!"
