Ch. 165 This Is Your Plan
🕑 Added 2023-11-23 16:00:06 +0000 UTC"If this plan involves flying around with a nuclear bomb, then yes, we do intend to use the nuclear bomb."
If it were Coulson coming to ask them what they were planning, Russell couldn't be bothered to say a word.
But when Natasha came over, it was a different story.
Natasha was one of their own, someone they could trust implicitly.
Cooperating with one's own people in a performance was a duty Russell, as her master, should fulfill.
"Flying around with a nuclear bomb?" While Natasha didn't know Russell and his team's plan, as a top spy, just hearing this much, she already had a pretty good idea of what they were up to.
By all rights, she could return to Coulson and the others right now and share the information she'd gathered.
But she didn't leave immediately.
Seeing Kara standing beside Russell, Natasha had a sudden insight. She used her expert skills as a female spy, allowing the serious expression to disappear from her delicate face. In its place, she adopted a seductive and inviting look.
"I see! I'm sure you know exactly what you're doing, but after all, this is a nuclear weapon."
"If you don't mind, we can cooperate with your plan."
As she spoke, Natasha approached Russell, her emerald-green eyes locked onto his.
When the distance between Natasha and Russell went from over a meter to just over twenty centimeters, Natasha stopped in her tracks. She looked up at Russell with her head slightly tilted.
At the same time, she raised her slender right hand and, with a natural expression, tousled her brown curly hair.
What did she intend to do?
Seeing Natasha's actions, Russell, Kara, and Johnny all had the same question in their minds.
Russell was puzzled by why Natasha would do something like this in front of everyone. From a security standpoint, Natasha shouldn't be making such gestures right now. Regardless of whether she was doing it in front of everyone, increasing her contact with Russell would raise unnecessary suspicions.
Natasha was a top female spy; she couldn't be unaware of this fact.
Kara was perplexed by Natasha's audacity. She hadn't expected "the old woman" to openly provoke Russell in her presence. Although their real relationship hadn't been disclosed publicly, in Kara's heart, she was already Russell's official girlfriend.
Yes, his official girlfriend!
As for Diana, Diana was Russell's fiancée!
Although this was Kara's personal opinion and she was the only one who knew it, that's how she saw it.
So, she looked at Natasha with a displeased expression.
Johnny didn't think as much as Russell and Kara did. Right now, he was just puzzled about why these beautiful women, who met his aesthetic standards and had extraordinary skills, all liked to gather around Russell.
Is it because my chest muscles aren't big enough, or my butt isn't perky enough?
In terms of appearance, physique, and fame, what did Russell have that compared to me?
Johnny, who already didn't like Russell, now felt even more irritated.
Although he didn't know what Natasha was up to at the moment, Russell decided to play along with her.
"Thank you for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s offer, but we don't currently need S.H.I.E.L.D.'s assistance," Russell directly declined Natasha's proposal.
"That's a pity!" A look of genuine regret appeared on Natasha's charming face. She spoke in a slightly downcast tone.
Just as Kara and Johnny thought Natasha was about to leave, Natasha suddenly extended her right hand towards Russell. The serious expression on her delicate face disappeared, replaced by a seductive and enticing look. She slowly said, "I'm Natasha Romanoff, codenamed Black Widow. Nice to meet you."
Um...
Seeing Natasha extend her hand, Russell furrowed his brow slightly.
Then, he reached out his right hand and shook hands with Natasha.
"I'm Russell Bradley, codenamed Serum," Russell replied calmly.
After shaking hands, Natasha threw a flirtatious look at Russell and then swayed her alluring waist as she walked toward Coulson and the others.
"I don't like that old woman!" Kara said with an unhappy expression as soon as Natasha left.
"Hulk likes Natasha!" Russell hadn't spoken yet, but Hulk immediately chimed in.
Although Hulk expressed his opinion, he didn't say anything inappropriate and obediently stood aside, watching No. 3 dismantle the detonation device of the nuclear warhead like a curious baby.
After Natasha returned to Coulson and the others, she shared the information she had gathered.
After listening to her account, Coulson turned to Hawkeye and said, "Mr. Barton, could you please follow them in the Quinjet?"
"Sure!" While Barton's rank in S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't lower than Coulson's, Coulson was the on-site commander. As long as Coulson gave an order, Barton would follow it.
After instructing Barton, Coulson also gave some orders to Captain America Rogers.
A few minutes later...
No. 3 finally dismantled the detonation device of the nuclear warhead. The half-human-sized nuclear warhead now only contained a small box with weapon-grade enriched uranium.
Although it looked like an ordinary metal box on the outside, there was nothing particularly remarkable about it.
However, what it contained was weapon-grade enriched uranium, which was strictly prohibited by the international community and the five major rogue states.
Russell wasn't seeing this type of box for the first time. No. 3 had already dismantled a nuclear warhead once at the headquarters of the Justice League.
The only difference was that at that time, No. 3 was controlling Endosymbiotic Battle Armor No. 02, rather than Endosymbiotic Battle Armor No. 01, which was the current armor.
From a human perspective, this rectangular metal box had nothing special about it.
But from the perspective of a male Muto, this was the "nutrient" essential for the growth of the next generation.
"Now that we've got it dismantled, who's responsible for diverting the monster?" Johnny looked at the box on the ground and asked slowly.
Russell and Kara remained silent, directing their gazes at Johnny.
Reid and Susan wanted to say something, but when they saw Russell and Kara's actions, they also turned to look at Johnny.
"What do you mean by this? You don't expect me to carry this thing and divert the monster, do you?" Johnny didn't hesitate and immediately began to refuse.
Are you kidding me?
Inside that box is weapon-grade enriched uranium! Even if a little of it is exposed, the strong nuclear radiation could instantly end any chance of a happy life for him.
"Isn't this your plan?" Russell looked at Johnny and said.
"You can fly too, so why don't you go?" Johnny immediately found a counterargument.
"This was your proposed plan!" Russell continued.
"This is your provided nuclear bomb!"
"This is your plan!"
"Let your robot go; I'm not going!" Johnny pointed at the Endosymbiotic Battle Armor controlled by No. 3.
