I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Because each of them had a prominent logo printed on their shoulder.

A silver eagle spreading its wings.

As soon as this force of about forty or fifty men appeared, they quickly and orderly surrounded Leiming in the middle of the road, while the other army soldiers immediately withdrew to a distance to await further orders.

New checkpoints have been set up at the highway entrances and exits in the distance, prohibiting any vehicles from entering or leaving.

The soldiers formed a circle, surrounding Lei Ming tightly, their high-tech weapons always aimed at his head.

There was no doubt that if Lei Ming dared to make any improper move, they would pull the trigger without hesitation.

At this moment, a tall woman with golden-brown hair stepped out from the crowd.

She had a high-bridged nose, azure eyes, and a slightly heroic air about her. Dressed in the signature black bodysuit of S.H.I.E.L.D., with a pistol at her waist, she exuded a dashing and heroic presence.

Like a female warrior.

“Maria Hill…”

"You must be Mr. Lei Ming."

She introduced herself right away, and there was no hostility in her tone.

“It’s me,” Lei Ming said politely.

Hill tilted her head, somewhat puzzled, and said, "You don't seem surprised at all..."

They seemed to know we were coming.

As she spoke, she gestured to the soldiers beside her to put down their weapons.

"Yes."

Lei Ming stood with his hands behind his back, his expression remaining unchanged.

"And I know more than just that."

"for example?"

Hill crossed his arms, looking like he was saying, "Let the show begin."

"for example…"

Lei Ming walked slowly towards her and said softly, "I know you're a Level 9 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., one level higher than Captain America Steve Rogers, second only to your superior..."

Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Upon hearing this, Hill slowly lowered his arm, his expression gradually becoming serious.

These messages were not a secret within S.H.I.E.L.D., but outsiders had no way of knowing them!

Lei Ming continued speaking, even glancing at her with a hint of admiration.

"You're quite good. Although you don't have superpowers or high-tech armor like 'them,' and you haven't used any potions..."

But they are an indispensable part of S.H.I.E.L.D.

She is an admirable woman.

Lei Ming's words and praise caught Hill off guard and left him both surprised and somewhat taken aback.

I'm still a little embarrassed...

But she wasn't a teenage girl after all, and quickly regained her composure, tilting her head back and speaking in a formulaic tone:

"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm sorry, I'm not here for you to show off your flirting skills..."

Someone wants to see you.

"it is good."

Lei Ming smiled slightly, "Tell him he can come down now, I'd like to have a talk with him."

A hint of surprise flashed in Hill's eyes again.

Because Nick Fury is currently a thousand meters above them, inside a stealth Quinjet.

Before she could think it through, a buzzing sound came from the sky.

The Quinjet fighter jet, now fully visible, had landed on the road behind the group.

Then the hatch opened.

A shiny black forehead, resembling a hard-boiled egg, appeared before Lei Ming's eyes.

Stepping off the fighter jet, Nick Fury first gave Thunder, who was also dressed in black, a suspicious look.

Then he strode up to him and extended a hand.

"I am Nick Fury..."

Oh, sorry, I forgot, you already know my name.

Lei Ming extended his hand and shook it with him, smiling:

"Don't you know me perfectly well, Director?"

"very good,

Then you should know why I'm here.

After exchanging greetings, Nick Fury withdrew his hand, his dark face expressionless.

Lei Ming didn't answer, but turned to look around and suddenly said:

"Is there anywhere nearby where we can rest?"

I'd like to sit down and talk.

Nick Fury and Hill exchanged a glance.

The two were speechless.

Chapter 176 Invitation

ten minutes later,

At the public dining tables outside the highway service area,

Lei Ming was elegantly enjoying a bowl of steaming instant noodles, with a bottle of cola beside him.

He hadn't eaten Earth food for a very, very long time, and the aroma of instant noodles made him especially nostalgic.

Although the taste is somewhat different from what's sold in China.

In the distance, forty or fifty S.H.I.E.L.D. agents stood in a row, guarding the service area.

Nick Fury sat across the table, with Maria Hill standing behind him.

The two watched Lei Ming eat instant noodles in silence.

at last,

Two more minutes passed before Lei Ming finished the last bite of noodles.

Nick Fury glanced at the empty bowl of noodles, now only filled with soup, and was about to speak when Lei Ming raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait, let me have a sip of soup first..."

He then picked up the bowl of noodles and started slurping them down, glancing at Nick Fury's bald head at the same time.

I wish I had a real hard-boiled egg.

Unfortunately, it's not available for sale in the US.

"Snapped…"

Lei Ming threw the empty bowl into the trash can and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

"Now can we start talking?"

Nick Fury finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up.

Lei Ming nodded and said casually, "Since you treated me to noodles, I can tell you a few things."

First of all, I killed Loki.

Also, I will not harm the world, at least not at the moment.

I don't need to tell you why I 'came back to life' or where my abilities came from.

As for Thor coming to seek revenge on me, all I can say is that if he wants to die,

I can grant his wish.

The series of 'answers' left Nick Fury somewhat bewildered.

He hasn't asked anything yet.

Seeing his expression, Lei Ming was somewhat surprised:

"how?

Isn't that what I wanted to ask?
