Merlin stood outside the hospital ward.

From his point of view, Maria Cazor was lying on the hospital bed, still in a coma and not yet awake.

It was a week ago that this lady was hit by a bullet. Du Pund’s timely rescue allowed her to retrieve a life, but the fragmentation caused by the spine was rubbed by the bullet, making it difficult for her to wake up in a short time. .

This injury was still incurable a few years ago.

That means that even if Maria finally wakes up, the best ending is to lie in bed for a lifetime.

Fortunately, there are now medical treatments for this injury.

In the past six months, the famous neurosurgeon Stephen Strange and his assistant Dr. Palmer Christine have successfully completed 15 cases of spinal spine surgery similar to Maria's.

The recovery of those patients is also quite good.

It is a pity that the doctor is hot now, and his surgery schedule has been arranged to be exaggerated 2 years later.

Even if Merlin instructed Icarus to use some personal relationships, Maria's operation can only be arranged at the earliest after 4 months.

But this is not the worst.

"Frank Kasor has been with his wife for the past few days. He is a very infatuated man. He stays here besides his children."

Sharon stood behind Merlin and she said softly to Merlin who was standing in front of the ward window:

"After learning that Dr. Stephen could treat his wife's injury, he went to Dr. Stephen's office with his friend Billy Russo."

"and then?"

With Merlin carrying his hands on his back, he asked:

"Why would they both leave? Why would they encounter a plane crash?"

"Because Dr. Stephen's surgery is very expensive."

Sharon looked at the unconscious Maria Casso in the ward, and she said a little unbearably:

"Frank's pension alone is not enough, so he decided to join Billy Russo's security company. Through the cloak, he begged Dr. Moira to repair his calf injury."

"The two men went to Europe two days ago to discuss the first single business. It was a single job introduced to them by a general of the army they previously served. On the battlefield in the Middle East, it was a military outsourcing mission."

"The two of them recruited a group of veterans recruited by Russo to cross the theater in a helicopter, but encountered an unexpected small-scale engagement. Unfortunately, a rocket hit their helicopter..."

Merlin was silent.

As the Deputy Director of SHIELD, he is well aware that in some hot spots in the Middle East and Central Asia, the military will indeed outsource some peripheral military projects to private military contractors.

It was a terrible job, it was dangerous, but it was very profitable.

The military has always been generous in this kind of thing that costs money to hire people to die.

Frank and Russo are retired veterans. If they don't want to make a profit by doing bad things, then returning to the battlefield to exchange their lives for money is indeed a very good job for them.

Especially when Frank urgently needs money...

Everything will happen on the battlefield, all this looks reasonable.

Maybe Frank and Russo were just out of luck.

"Can you find the body?"

Merlin asked.

Sharon shook his head:

"That's a hot spot, sir. A few days ago, a new round of war broke out there."

"Perhaps sending a demon hunter can indeed find Frank and Russo's bodies across the theater, but I don't think the director will approve the operation."

"Ok."

Merlin nodded.

Indeed, neither Frank nor Russo were SHIELD staff. He could not ask SHIELD agents to risk the war to find two people who had nothing to do with their job duties.

What's more, the nature of those two guys entering the battlefield is more similar to mercenaries.

Apart from their loved ones, even their employers will not care about the loss of a team of people.

"Where is his child?"

Merlin looked at the unconscious Maria in the ward. He moved his finger and said to Sharon:

"Is anyone taking care of them?"

"After the news of Frank Kasol came back, Lisa and Frank Jr. were taken back to their home by the magicians, and Cage and Jessica took care of them these days."

Sharon said:

"The two children are pretty good. They visit their mother every day, but they don't know yet, their father will always..."

"Hush"

Merlin suddenly made a silence sign.

Moments later, Frank’s eldest daughter Lisa walked out of the elevator with her younger brother Frank.

Luke Cage, wearing a suit and sunglasses, accompanied the two of them. The hero also carried some fruits in his hand. He should have accompanied the child to visit the patient.

Cage first saw Merlin and Sharon standing outside the ward, his expression changed.

But before waiting for the divine person to speak, Merlin took the initiative to come up.

He stopped before looking at his two children. He took out his wallet, fumbled inside, and finally took out a picture that had faded and handed it to the two children.

That was a picture of him with a group of soldiers who came to drink when he opened the bar in Kandahar.

The picture also shows Frank and Russo in his youth.

"I am your father's friend."

Merlin looked at the two children in front of him. He stretched out his hand and touched Frank on the head with a medical bandage on his face. He smiled and said to the two children:

"You can call me Uncle Merlin."

"Uncle Merlin, hello."

Frank's youngest son was very polite. He called Merlin and grabbed the photo, looking for his father and Uncle Billy with great interest.

The child's age is not enough to let him know what is happening in his home.

And his sister Lisa looked very quiet, the little girl should feel the heavy pressure.

She was looking at Merlin with a slightly weird look at this moment. After a while, the big girl asked softly:

"Uncle, my father he..."

"Your father is making money."

Merlin said to the girl:

"You also saw that your mother's condition is terrible. I made a doctor appointment for him and paid for the medical expenses, but your father is a very strong person, you know, Lisa."

"In short, the stubborn guy doesn't want to owe me affection."

Merlin shrugged, disguised with a helpless expression, he said:

"He may go out for a long time. After all, it is a lot of money, but he will always come back. Trust me, little girl. When your mother recovers, he will definitely come back."

"Remember at all times, your father really loves you, and he can do everything for both of you."

"So... don't blame him for leaving you so long."

"No matter what happens in the future, you must be a good boy."

He reached out and patted Lisa and Frank on the shoulders, then said to Luke Cage:

"Cage, take care of my two children and let me know if you have any difficulties."

"Nothing, sir...er, Merlin."

Luke touched his big bald head and he said to Merlin:

"Jessica also likes the two children very much. Lisa is very good and can help her clean up the room. She is happy to let the two children live for a while until their mother recovers."

"Well, I'm relieved to give them to you."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He reached over and pushed his glasses. He waved goodbye to the two children and then quickly walked away from the hospital with Sharon.

"Sharon, make an appointment for Fury for me."

At the entrance of the hospital, Merlin said to his assistant:

"Regarding the virus variant, I will meet him this afternoon, so that the Secretary is best to take some time in advance."

"Okay, sir."

Sharon nodded, and she got into her car and quickly left here.

Merlin was standing in front of the hospital. He looked back at the place where the life was saved. There was a gloom in his eyes.

"Icarus, send the place where Frank and Russo's plane crashed to Talia. I need her to do me a favor."

"You don't think Frank Casor is dead?"

Icarus asked:

"Is this idea based on rational judgment? Or is it your instinct?"

"instinct."

Merlin lit a cigarette a little anxiously, and he said:

"I still remember the scene when Frank and I first met. He was fighting a group of gangsters from the Ten Rings, and everyone except him was dead."

"The bodies pressed against him. He had only one breath left. If it wasn't for me to pass by, he might have died in that ghost place."

"Frank Casor in my memory is a very hard man, Icarus."

Merlin raised his head and exhaled a smoke. He said:

"He also rescued me from the cave that collapsed. Although the collapse of the cave was caused by him throwing bombs, he saved me... I have to do something for him."

"If he really dies, his wife and children will be raised by me."

"But if he is not dead... then I must find him!"

——————————

In the afternoon, in Nick Fury's office, Merlin and Fury sat on the sofa.

Fury was still wearing that long-standing turtleneck sweater with a cool black leather jacket, big bald head, black eye mask, and some scars on his face, wearing high-top marine boots, and a pistol in his waist.

Judging from his talk and pace of action, it is really hard to believe that he is already an old man almost 60 years old.

"How about the talks in Switzerland?"

Fury leaned on the sofa and asked:

"I heard that you talked to some politicians about the planning of the Zhijian Project later?"

"Just a preliminary plan."

Merlin says:

"The power of the fire source began to decay globally. It is estimated that after the fifth impact, the energy of the fire source will be completely dissipated, and the original wisdom equipment will no longer be a problem."

"However, the wisdom machinery industry has taken shape, and it has been integrated into the civilization process of this world, so everyone is very concerned about some things in the future."

"But I spent a week there and I wasted a week. The long meeting did not have a fruitful result."

Merlin shook his head:

"I now seriously doubt that Pierce was also disgusted by wasting time, so I asked him to go there for him."

"He is supporting you, Merlin."

Fury said:

"Let you show your face in that circle and make some relationships, which is very helpful for your future career planning."

"My career plan?"

Merlin snorted:

"Don't I be a special agent in the future, will I run for president?"

"Don't joke, Fury, the things in my head determine that even after I retire, I can't show my head...well, let's not talk about these."

He reached out and stroked his glasses, the blue projection projected from the frame of Icarus and appeared in front of the two.

Merlin pointed to a double helix image resembling a biomolecular structure rotating in the projection and said to Fury:

"This is the purpose of my coming today. Let's see the results of our biologist's preliminary research on that variant."

"This thing..."

Fury rubbed one eye, he looked at the rotating molecular structure, he said:

"It looks like some kind of virus..."

"Yes, a virus that can modify the form of biologically existing viruses at the genetic level."

Merlin said seriously and seriously:

"Although the mutant seems to have triggered some kind of "self-destructive device" after it was killed, so that most of its cell samples are self-lysing, but the biologist has found something useful in it."

"The runaway variant looks dangerous, but in fact it is not difficult to find weaknesses."

Merlin pointed to the rotating viral molecular diagram and said to Fury:

"But this, this is really dangerous."

"I consulted our biologist, and she told me that this thing is infectious and super infectious, but the virus in that variant is locked in an infectious capacity in a'biological lock' way. "

"But since the behind-the-scenes hands who made that variant can lock the infection ability, then I think they must have a way to unlock it."

At this point, Merlin paused, and Fury's eyes narrowed.

He looked at the viral structure projected in front of his eyes, and at the simulated projection of the tyrant, he said:

"So if necessary, they can use this new type of biochemical weapon, and it can set off a short period of time... well, biochemical crisis?"

"Yes! That's what I want to say."

Merlin snapped his fingers, and he sat upright and said:

"The accident caused by the variant is only apparently over, and the tracing of this new virus has just begun."

"Ok."

Fury nodded, Merlin brought enough evidence to prove his point of view, the tracing of the virus is already a thing of the past,

But the secretary rubbed his chin, he said:

"I have read the report of this accident, and your subordinates suspect that this is what some of Abstergo Pharmaceuticals did. Do you want to investigate in this direction?"

"Do not."

Merlin shook his head, he said:

"I don't want to discourage the enthusiasm of the subordinates for their work, and there are certain things that I can't tell them. But I can guarantee, Fury, this matter has nothing to do with Abstergo..."

"This virus only seems to be in contact with the areas that Abstergo is good at, but in fact, what the drug company studied before the fall, and this virus are completely two fields."

Merlin said in a low voice:

"Abstergo, who was sloppy and sloppy, took the black pot behind the scenes."

"Or, someone is deliberately misleading our eyes to Abstergo... so as to protect the real hands behind the scenes."

"But they didn't expect that I may be one of the few people in the world who knows the most about things related to Abstergo."

"Ok?"

Fury's eyes flicked. He looked at Merlin. He said:

"This thing is getting more and more interesting, like a pit that can dig new things... Do you have any doubts?"

"Have."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He put away the projection in front of him, picked up the tea cup, and gently sipped the tea. He said:

"Raccoon, Colorado, currently the most popular pharmaceutical company in North America, Allabray, umbrella."

"The time they passed by New York in the motorcade coincided with the time when the runaway body appeared... My instinct was telling me that this might not be a coincidence."

"So are you going to check?"

Fury also picked up the teacup, he asked:

"Start now?"

"No, I gave them to Coulson about it."

Merlin took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He said to Fury:

"I may not have time to pay attention to this matter recently, and there is one more difficult matter to deal with."

"I mean, Fury, if Coulson finds anything, they will report it directly to you."

"Ok?"

Fury frowned, and he asked:

"Which thing is more important than the imminent biohazard?"

"Yes."

Merlin shrugged helplessly. He said:

"A few years ago, during the war of the Cybertrons, I made a contract with a very dangerous person capable of destroying the world. Now the time is up..."

"There has been a rush there, I have to hurry to finish it."

"In short, please follow up on the protection of the umbrella, Fury."
