Chapter 230 Air Raid Shelter (1/2)

"Congratulations, Kent..."

Counter the World, Frontline Newspaper.

Colleagues who came and went expressed their blessings to Colin, and he responded with a smile.

"Thanks."

In the recently announced Pulitzer Prize nominations, Colin's reporting on the "Frontline" news about the attack on the New York mayor received the latest exclusive reporting award nomination, which is what "Frontline" has received since its inception. Nominated for the first 'Pulitzer Prize'.

Moreover, everyone believes that Colin has a great chance of winning this award.

"Well done Kent, I knew you could do it."

In the office, Benyurich expressed his affirmation to Colin with a smile on his face.

"I know from the previous photos of the Green Goblin that you are an excellent reporter with courage and courage. When the Pulitzer Prize is determined, "Frontline" will prepare an exclusive interview for you."

A Pulitzer Prize winner is definitely a good thing for Banjuric's "Frontline."

"I'm just doing what a reporter should do."

Facing Benyurich's praise, Colin's expression was very calm.

To be honest, he was not too touched by the Pulitzer Prize nomination.

Especially in the positive world, his "Daily Courier" and the "Journal of the World" founded by Joseph Pulitzer are actually still in a competitive relationship in the newspaper industry. However, when it came to the counter-world, Colin became a nominee for the Pulitzer Prize. The difference between the two worlds gave him a strange feeling of confusion.

After all, the world is being impacted by the Courier Daily, and there are already some vague problems in the operating conditions of the World Journal.

As an agent of the Messenger Machinery Factory, Lange Worst once tried to contact the "World Journal" to promote the four-color double-sided offset printing press produced by the factory.

However, the attitude of "World Journal" seems to be very reserved, vaguely revealing that the current internal financial resources of "World Journal" do not seem to be enough to support the newspaper's purchase of new printing machinery.

It can be seen from this that the wave of the Great Depression also swept through "World Journal".

The newspaper founded by Joseph Pulitzer is likely to fail before hope comes.

Colin didn't feel too surprised about this. After all, there were too many bankrupt companies during the Great Depression. Even the Messenger Machinery Factory in his hands was acquired from a previously bankrupt machinery manufacturer. .

I just thought that less than a year ago, the person in charge of "World Journal" was arrogantly trying to buy the copyright of "Superman" from his hands, and even had a fight with Colin on the superhero comics, but the result was not short-lived. In just one year, World Journal itself has already encountered problems.

Imagining the contrast always gives people an inexplicable sense of irony.

Having said that, Colin is still very interested in "World Journal" itself.

In fact, he has told Lange Worst to continue to contact "World Journal" and start the acquisition of "World Journal" once it is confirmed that there are real problems with the internal operating conditions of "World Journal".

As the most influential newspaper in New York during the Great Depression, "World Journal" had many internal resources that Colin's "Courier Daily" lacked.

However, if the time comes, the Courier Newspaper Company really acquires "World Journal".

Then wouldn’t the ‘Pulitzer Prize’ become an award given to oneself?

…

Click, click——

Late at night, in New York, inside a bomb shelter that is in disrepair.

Along with the dull sound of footsteps, Natasha's figure appeared in the empty air-raid shelter.

"Trace found."

Her eyes lingered on the damp ground of the air raid shelter for a moment. Natasha reported to the communication device in her ear. At the same time, she reached out from her waist and put two pairs of uniquely shaped bracelets on her wrists.

Widow's Bite, a special weapon upgraded and transformed by Thunder Agents technicians, can effectively help Natasha deal with various combat situations.

Slightly pressing a button on the bracelet, a bright light flashed in the dim air-raid shelter. Natasha used the brightness brought by the bracelet to see clearly the two roads in front of the air-raid shelter.

During World War II, the United States implemented various civil defense programs

Included were anti-aircraft sentries, nighttime blackouts for first aid training, and air raid shelters to defend against enemy bombers.

However, no one expected that the war would have surrendered before it reached the United States. With the identity of the defeated country confirmed, these prevention and control facilities originally built in the United States also lost their original meaning and were gradually abandoned.

What Natasha entered now was a special air-raid shelter built under the leadership of the military during World War II.

Of course, the purpose of her coming here is not to find the mysterious weapons or secret plans left behind by the United States, but to track down the traces of Moonstone Kara Sofen.

Because of the committee's previous decision to disband the Thunder Agents, the agents fell into great chaos.

Kara Sofin also disappeared during that period.

Surveillance video from inside the Thunder Agents base showed that Kara Sofen used special means to avoid the surveillance of the guards and secretly took a top-secret document with her before leaving the base.

In response, the Superhuman Behavior Oversight Committee immediately intervened in the incident and ordered the arrest of Kara Sofen, who had escaped, and the recovery of the top-secret documents in the other party's hands.

The intelligence disclosed by the committee shows that what Kara Sofen took away was part of the satellite barrier project that the United States participated in the construction of under the leadership of Germany. It has extremely important military significance. Once it falls into the hands of interested people, it will be harmful to the United States. The satellite barrier over the territory has a very significant impact.

Natasha was a little strange about the news that Kara Sofen had stolen satellite barrier information.

However, what made her even more curious was Kara Sofen's power.

In the previous battle, as the moonstone was snatched away by Colin, theoretically Kara Sofen should have lost her share of power.

However, from the footage shown on the surveillance video, Kara Sofen's power seems to have returned to her body.

This problem made Natasha wary.

She was not sure whether Kara Thorfinn had regained the power she had lost.

In the air-raid shelter, as my thoughts swirled.

Natasha's steps didn't stop at all. Following the clues inside, she quickly determined the possible direction of Kara Sofen. With the help of the widow's sting on her wrist, she illuminated the surroundings and at the same time, the ends of the bracelet slightly The flashing infrared light also represents Natasha's vigilance at the moment.

The interior of the Widow Sting not only has an auxiliary function, but is also loaded with micro bombs and a current of up to 30,000 volts, allowing it to fight back immediately.

"Hoo~"

Adjusting his breathing, he carefully walked in the dark and damp underground space of the air raid shelter.

As the position went deeper, a faint light in front of her made Natasha pause, but she quickly adjusted her mentality.

While pressing the signal transmitting device in the earphones, she walked towards the place where the bright light came from.

This is an extremely hidden air-raid shelter room. The door is made of ten centimeters thick metal and concrete, which can withstand missile bombing attacks.

He raised his wrist slightly and entered through the half-open door.

"You're here..."

The moment Natasha stepped into the room, a familiar but somewhat old voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

Follow the direction of the sound and aim the widow sting in your hand at the opponent.

What appeared in front of Natasha's eyes was an old man with a curled up body and a wrinkled face, exuding an aura of decay.

"Kara Thorfinn?"

Looking at this wrinkled face, Natasha frowned slightly and said in an uncertain tone.

"I'm sorry for letting you see me in such an ugly state."

Under Natasha's gaze, Kara Sofen shrank her body subconsciously, hiding her wrinkled old face in the darkness as much as possible.

"What exactly is this..."

Moving her raised wrist away a little, Natasha looked at Moonstone Kara Sofen, who was completely different from what she had in mind, and couldn't help but ask.

"cost."

In response, Kara Sofen opened her mouth and explained the reason in a hoarse voice.

"The moonstone has been combined with my body for so long that it has almost become a part of my body. As the power of the moonstone disappeared, my body naturally began to change, becoming what it is now."

All of Kara Sofen's powers come from the moonstone, which is why she craves the power of the gemstone so crazily.

The changes in Kara Sofin surprised Natasha, but she did not relax her vigilance because of this.

Staring at Kara Sofen in front of her, Natasha lowered the Widow Sting on her wrist. On the surface, she seemed to have believed the other party's description, and then asked.

"In that case, why did you steal the base's top-secret information and escape from the base?"

"I just don't want you to see my ugly appearance now."

Facing Natasha's questioning, Kara Sofen covered her face with her old hands, and said with a hint of tears in her words: "After the moonstone was taken away, the remaining power in my body gradually disappeared. Dissipated, I could only watch my body getting older little by little. Can you imagine the despair I felt when I saw wrinkles appearing in the corners of my eyes in the mirror? "

"I didn't want to go on like this and die in such an ugly way, so I stole the information. I tried but there was no possibility of stopping it, but I failed. There is no way to prevent it from happening..."

As she spoke, Kara Sofen put down her hands covering her face, revealing her wrinkled, crying face.

Looking at Kara Sofen's face, the expression on Natasha's face seemed to become a little moved.

She opened her mouth silently and said, "So, you plan."

Reaching out to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, Kara Sofen stood up tremblingly and took out a document marked top secret from her arms: "I have already figured it out, since there is no hope, why should I continue to struggle? , in fact, as my body ages little by little, I have also lost the ability to resist. Instead of dying alone in the air-raid shelter like this, I would rather be caught by you, so that at least my death will not be too painful. ”

Kara Sofen handed the document to Natasha in front of her, and at the same time, she looked at her and said slowly: "Let them all come in. After all, I was once a member of the Thunderbolt Special Forces and I know the process of the operation very well. It is impossible for you to be the only one to take such a dangerous action."

Hearing Kara Sofen's words, Natasha looked at her deeply, and the latter responded with a calm face.

"..."

"Come in, there is no danger."

After staring at each other silently for a while, Natasha spoke to the people on the other side of the headset.

Sure enough, as Natasha's voice fell, a small team of fully equipped armed forces immediately entered the room of the air-raid shelter.

"So, is this the new Thunderbolt Special Forces' action team?"

Kara Sofen sighed calmly as she glanced at the muzzle of the gun pointed at her.

...

Click, click.

Because of Kara Sofen's cooperation, there was no abnormality in the following actions.

In the damp corridor of the air-raid shelter, members of the armed forces surrounded Kara Sofen and walked towards the exit. I don't know if it was because of aging, Kara Sofen's steps were very slow.

Walking behind the team, silently watching Kara Sofen's trembling back, Natasha's expression on her face did not relax at all.

For some reason, she felt that the situation in front of her was strange. Kara Sofen was not someone who would give up so easily. From the information, it showed that the other party was a person who would do anything for power, which was one of the reasons why she was able to become the new owner of the moonstone.

However, from the current situation, Kara Sofen seemed to have really lost the power to resist.

That kind of physical aging did not seem like a disguise, but more like a real situation that happened to Kara Sofen.

Watching Kara Sofen's trembling back, Natasha suppressed her uneasiness in her heart, lowered her head to look at the top-secret information in her hand, and thoughtfully opened the contents inside.

Consistent with the information revealed by the committee, most of the contents recorded in the data are about the planning data of the satellite barrier, including the design arrangements that the German army participated in at the beginning.

With the light from the widow sting on her wrist, Natasha silently flipped through the contents of the data, and at the same time, a barely perceptible scanning device in the upper right corner of the widow sting automatically began to work.

The manufacture of the widow sting was not only participated by the technicians of the Thunderbolt Special Forces, but Howard also made secret modifications to it.

"Wait a minute, here?!"

While the widow sting was scanning the data, Natasha's eyes were suddenly attracted by a marked location on the map on the data.

This mark obviously did not seem to be originally in the data, but more like it was added later. From these notes, it can be seen that the person in question is obviously looking for something through the map marked on the data.

Reaching out and touching the traces on the data, Natasha frowned and her inner uneasiness became even stronger.

While Natasha was thinking, Kara Sofen, who was in front of the team, had already walked out of the air-raid shelter surrounded by the armed team. She looked up at the moon hanging in the night sky, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on her old face.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
