Chapter 35 A plan that kills two birds with one stone
"I can't believe that you, an old antique from 70 years ago, are questioning a top MIT student."
Steve listened to Tony's unhappy response in the earphones and said quickly: "No, it's just that until now, your instrument has had no effect."
He looked at the instrument in his hand. It was a scanning device the size of a mobile phone. Wave lines were constantly scanning out on the screen, like a small radar system.
According to the instruction manual, as long as the laser cannon is fired, even if it was fired two days ago, the remaining energy can be locked by this thing.
But after they walked around, there was no signal from the instrument.
This made Steve couldn't help but pat the instrument, wondering if it was broken.
"Don't worry, as long as someone activates the laser cannon within ten kilometers, the detector will immediately perform positioning and tracking."
Tony, who was far away in his villa in Los Angeles, said with a little sleepiness, "Before the laser cannon is activated, you can just go shopping in that city."
"Can't you increase the monitoring range?"
Natasha couldn't help but complain that the detection range was only ten kilometers, so they had to wander around the city with a device in their hands in the middle of the night.
The chaotic night in Santa Fe really made her feel sick.
"Ma'am, that gun is a cutting-edge weapon of the Chitauri, and it has strict protection protocols. It's perfect that I can do this."
"Besides, I'm on vacation now, and I could have had a wonderful night, but Nick Fury called me in the middle of the night while I was on vacation, just to ask for a detector."
"Oh my god, doesn't he know that scientists' brains need to be carefully cultivated in a good sleep environment? I'm being very kind by not suing him for disturbing the public."
"Okay Tony, I'll call you when you have time."
Steve quickly hung up the call before Tony could continue to complain.
As a beep of hang-up came from the communicator, Steve couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"This guy always comes up with a bunch of crap."
He looked at the testing instrument the size of a mobile phone in his hand with a look of helplessness on his face. Tony's complaints almost made his ears feel numb.
…
In the alley, Logan's keen hearing clearly heard the conversation between the two.
Although there were only a few words, the information conveyed allowed him to clarify the reason why Steve and Natasha appeared in Santa Fe City.
It seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. attaches great importance to that laser gun, and even requires the two Avengers to personally carry out tasks such as monitoring.
Fury must have hoped that after the weapon was locked, Steve and Natasha could take the gun back as soon as possible.
"It seems that so far, those guys have not activated that weapon."
Steve and Steve walked together on the silent streets late at night.
"They are very cautious. If it were me, I would probably have to test it."
Natasha felt bored. Such a monitoring task was too tedious.
"Keep looking. You have to find it before they use it to cause greater trouble."
Steve shrugged helplessly.
"..."
The voices of Steve and Natasha gradually faded away, and Logan walked out of the alley and looked at the direction the two left with a solemn expression.
"Looks like it's time to leave."
He knew that since SHIELD had found Santa Fe City, it was only a matter of time before it locked onto the Lawrence family.
The confrontation between the Lawrence family and SHIELD is inevitable.
The ending is obviously foreseeable. The Lawrence family will definitely be wiped out by SHIELD. After all, this is just a family organization entrenched in Santa Fe City, and SHIELD is a behemoth that can affect the entire world.
He must leave quickly before they have a bigger conflict to avoid being involved in this storm.
Logan stamped out the burned cigarette butts and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly thought of the abandoned factory in the suburbs.
What he was sure of was that the Lawrence family had been placing spies near the factory to monitor the professor and Caliban at all times.
If he wanted to leave, he had to solve this problem in advance, otherwise, the Lawrence family members might make a crazy interception on him before he left the city.
And the current intervention of the Avengers and SHIELD doesn't seem to be all bad for him. It arouses conflict between the two parties, allowing the Avengers and SHIELD to deal with the Lawrence family, and he can take advantage of the opportunity to escape...
Logan's eyes lit up, and a dangerous but very effective plan gradually formed in his mind.
If Steve and the others want to lock down the Lawrence family, they have to let the laser cannon make some noise on the Lawrence family's territory...
A few days after the goods were delivered to the Lawrence family, Logan was certain that Chris and the others had not had time to transfer or resell the goods.
The weapons of the Chitauri are most likely still in the Lawrence family.
As long as he finds a way to make that thing ring, he can take advantage of the chaos, take the professor and Caliban, pick up Laura and leave Santa Fe City immediately!
"James, it's time to go."
Joshel, who walked out of the convenience store, suddenly interrupted Logan's thinking.
He bought a few bottles of Coke and threw one to Logan.
Logan nodded, took the Coke, gave up thinking for the time being, suppressed the light in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."
At this time, Samuel also filled up the car with gas.
Several people smoked cigarettes and drank Coca-Cola, and went straight back to the Lawrence family's logistics warehouse.
Although it was late at night and the streets seemed very deserted, the logistics warehouse of the Lawrence family was still brightly lit.
However, there were no workers or trucks to be seen. Obviously, these lights were reserved for them.
After parking the car in the garage, several people opened the door and got out.
"Logan, it feels really good to work with an idol for the first time. You know, seeing you chop off that guy's head with your steel claws really makes me excited, just like the superhero I have always admired suddenly using superpowers in front of me."
Donald walked up to Logan, looked at Logan's face, and smiled, "I really hope that we can have the opportunity to cooperate more in the future, before your steel claws can be extended. After all, although those clones have your abilities, they don't have your glorious past that people look forward to."
As he said, Donald reached out and patted Logan on the shoulder, and was about to turn around and leave.
But after taking a few steps, he turned back and added with a smile: "By the way, about Gabriela, I sincerely hope that you will not disappoint a fan. If you have any news about her, please tell me, okay.
I hope that there will be no estrangement between us because of that woman and child."
After that, Donald walked out of the garage without looking back.
Logan stared at his back and remained silent.
The conversation between the two made Joshel and Samuel confused. They didn't know many things, and they just felt that the two seemed to be talking in secret.
At this time, Samuel's mobile phone received a text message. After taking a look, he turned to Logan and Joshel and said: "Let's go, the black guy asked us to go over, he is waiting for us in the office."
