Chapter 515: Ancient Tomb

London, England-

On the television screen, a news report was airing, with a doctor explaining the newly discovered underground tomb.

"The Crossrail project is the largest construction project in Europe, with a 26-mile-long commuter train tunnel being built underground in London."

"But today, a tomb filled with Crusader coffins was discovered there."

"No one ever imagined that London would be a huge cemetery."

"A modern city built on top of silent tombs that have been silent for centuries."

A female reporter on the TV asked, "Since the tomb is near the River Thames, most of it has been submerged, right, doctor?"

The interviewed doctor replied, "Yes, most coffins seem to be submerged underwater."

"The tomb appears to have been built during the Second Crusade, meaning it's filled with the remains of Crusader knights who died in battle during the invasion of Egypt and never returned to England."

"It also reveals a secret treasure trove of London's history."

Meanwhile, in the interconnected tunnels of the underground tomb.

At this moment, Henry Jekyll, a senior agent of SHIELD's British branch, led a team of agents.

Watching the workers inspecting the construction passages in the tomb, Henry Jekyll calmly said:

"Clear the area!"

As Henry Jekyll's words fell, a nearby agent shouted:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stop your work."

"The train tunnel has been redirected north from here, and we are taking over this site now."

"Please gather your tools and equipment and leave immediately."

As the SHIELD agents cleared the area, the workers in the tomb began to stop their work.

Henry Jekyll then walked into the tomb and examined the murals on the walls.

At this moment, a man dressed as a station worker with a blue cap shouted to Henry Jekyll:

"Please stop, please stop."

"I'm in charge of this station. Do you know what you're doing?"

Henry Jekyll did not look at the worker who had come to him, but instead took out a document from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Remove your people, we're taking over here."

After saying this, Henry Jekyll walked towards the deeper parts of the tomb, while the worker with the blue cap opened the document, which was an authorization document.

Looking at the document, he asked in surprise, "Who are you people?"

At this moment, another agent walked over and said, "We are SHIELD agents. Please cooperate, sir. Thank you very much."

As he spoke, he escorted the construction site supervisor out.

Henry Jekyll walked up to a wall with many carvings on it.

"History will not be buried forever. In my lifetime, I have discovered many ancient mysteries."

"And this tomb before us reveals the dark secrets of ancient people."

"A secret that has been erased from history and forgotten by time."

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere-

It was during the negotiations between Coulson and the ninjas.

Afghanistan-

Member of the Task Force Thunderbolt, Nick Morton and his team member, Ferrell, were conducting reconnaissance operations in the area.

The two found themselves in a local village where they engaged in a firefight with armed militants. However, the opposing force outnumbered them and subjected them to overwhelming firepower.

In the midst of the crisis, Ferrell managed to activate their communication device and shouted, "Requesting dynamic location tracking for precise targeting of our objectives!"

Nick Morton, hiding behind a wall, looked at Ferrell in astonishment and exclaimed, "Heaven, you're not calling in an airstrike, are you?"

Ferrell looked at Nick Morton and shouted, "Yes, I did!"

As the two took cover on the rooftop, avoiding the gunfire from below, just when Ferrell and Nick Morton thought their lives were about to end, two fighter jets suddenly appeared in the sky and launched missiles at the militants below.

"Boom! Boom!"

It was the aerial support Ferrell had called for earlier. With the explosion of the missiles, many militants were killed, and the remaining ones, realizing the situation was unfavorable, immediately fled in their vehicles.

Ferrell and Nick Morton saw all the enemy in the village retreat and couldn't help but show excited smiles, celebrating their narrow escape.

Ferrell shouted with excitement, "I'm still alive!"

Just then, the house beneath their feet suddenly collapsed, causing the two to fall down. A large hole appeared on the ground, threatening to engulf them.

Fortunately, the two were lucky and were not completely swallowed by the emerging sinkhole. Instead, they came to a stop at the edge of the hole.

Nick Morton stood at the edge of the hole, watching as the sands flowed down, revealing a massive Egyptian statue.

Looking at the gigantic Egyptian statue, Nick Morton smiled and exclaimed, "Holy Shit!"

Meanwhile, Ferrell, watching the scene before him, couldn't help but think of a task he had received earlier.

Ferrell wasn't just a member of the Task Force Thunderbolt; he was also an agent of SHIELD working undercover with Nick Morton.

In the days leading up to this, he had received a mission directive from within the SHIELD to locate a temple with historical significance that had yet to be unearthed.

And the scene before him seemed to fit the criteria perfectly.

Nick Morton, after observing for a while, notified his superior of his findings, reporting everything he had discovered. Meanwhile, Ferrell quietly reported the situation to SHIELD.

However, what neither of them knew was that at that moment, two men dressed in black with red cloud robes were standing nearby, observing everything.

These two men were none other than members of the Akatsuki organization, Hidan and Itachi Uchiha.

Using ninjutsu to conceal themselves, others couldn't perceive their presence at all.

At this moment, Hidan, carrying his scythe, looked at Itachi and asked, "Itachi, why are we here?"

"In a short time, we've traveled to many places and haven't found anything useful for Lord Charles. We haven't even encountered any formidable enemies, let alone noticed anyone as powerful as us ninjas."

"Even if it's not formidable enemies, just ordinary genin level, we haven't encountered any."

If they hadn't known about the existence of the Hulk and the Abomination, they would have almost believed that the humans in this world were just weaklings.

Glancing at the Egyptian statue in the deep pit below, Hidan continued:

"Buildings such as this, we've searched many, but do you really think there could be any gains here?"

"I haven't pleased my evil god in a long time. Should I take some time to offer a sacrifice to please the evil god? I believe Lord Charles wouldn't mind if it delayed us for half a day."
