The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

"elder brother."

"what."

"Will you go to the base with me?"

"No."

Lake, who was eating his cup of coffee, waved his hand and said, "I'll go to the Navy Yard first."

Betty asked curiously, "Navy compound?"

Lake said: "I came to assist the investigation, not lead the investigation. When there is no task, it doesn't matter to go to Quantico, but if there is a task at hand, it is better to follow others."

Why is the federal military special?

Because there are investigative bureaus outside, and similarly, there are inside the military.

There's CID for Army crimes, NCIS for Navy cases, Air Force Special Investigations, Coast Guard Investigations, Marine Corps Criminal Investigation Command, and Defense Criminal Investigations...

In cases involving the military, outsiders simply cannot intervene.

Especially the case of Quantico.

Lake didn't want to be named by the Pentagon generals, so it would be better to go to Quantico to investigate the nuclear physicist, or to directly pull the NCIS person over there.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

A small building with a red appearance in the naval compound, here, this is the headquarters of NCIS.

Ding!

The elevator opens.

In the office of NCIS Investigative Office Director Jessero Gibbs, Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo was chatting as usual with Jieva David from Mossad, Israel, at the desk.

As for the other Tinosi McKee, he was once again tested by Anthony Dinozzo's prank at his computer desk.

Lake called out to Jiwa who had his back turned to him: "Jiwa!"

Jieva, who was chatting with Anthony, turned back immediately.

So did Anthony Di Nozzo.

Jieva saw Lake standing not far away, her eyes lit up, she stood up, passed Anthony, and came directly towards Lake.

but……

Not hugs, but attacks.

Lake looked at Jiwa's attacking posture, laughed, took off his military cap, turned sideways, blocked Jiwa's long legs with one hand, and then turned directly behind Jiwa, the military cap was horizontal. Between Jiwa's neck: "You are dead again."

Jieva and Lake hugged.

When Lake was in the army, one mission was to act with the Israeli troops. At that time, Langley's agents were sent from the federal side, and naturally, the Israeli side also sent Jieva.

In this way, Lake and Jieva got to know each other. Although the relationship is not very good, it is definitely not bad.

After Jieva released Lake, she looked at Lake, who was dressed in a neat white major's uniform, and praised, "You look very handsome in this outfit."

Anthony Dinozzo came over, looked at Lake, and stretched out his hand: "NCIS very special senior agent Anthony Dinozzo."

Lake shakes hands: "Department of Homeland Security, Assistant Director of Operations, Lake Edwin."

"Department of Homeland Security?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No."

Anthony said: "I have a friend who is also in the Department of Homeland Security, but I have never heard of soldiers in the Department of Homeland Security."

McKee, who got away from Anthony's prank, came over and explained to Anthony who Lake was in front of him, and shook hands with Lake: "Nice to meet you, Major Edwin."

Lake also shook hands, and then said to Jieva, "I'm here to find Gibbs."

Ji Wa pointed upstairs: "I'll take you there."

Lake nodded.

Anthony looked at Jieva and Lake who left directly, and then looked at McGee: "Rookie, who is he."

McKee shook his head speechlessly, with a tone of admiration: "Major Lake Edwin, one of the Purple Heart recipients."

Anthony was instantly stunned.

upstairs.

In the office of NCIS Office Director Jeanne Scheper.

Gibbs was arguing with his old lover and boss, Jenny Scheper: "My case, my rules, I don't need to..."

There was a knock on the door.

Gibbs turned to look at Jieva who opened the door: "Why?"

Jieva was just about to speak.

Lake appeared from behind Jieva and looked at Gibbs with a smile: "Gibbs, I hope you're not complaining to Director Shepa about my interference."

Gibbs looked at Lake who appeared: "Lake?"

Lake said: "Trust me, I don't want to come here, but there's no way, I'm the only one who made the Department of Homeland Security qualified to intervene in this case and qualified to enter the military investigation. However, I assure you that I am I will never take your case, so I have a pair of eyes, not even a brain."

Gibbs: "..."

If Lake's ultimate bottom line is that no one will deceive him or take advantage of him, then Gibbs's principle is very simple, his case, whoever bites whoever.

and.

The relationship between Lake and Gibbs has been around for a long time, and the earliest can be traced back to the operation of Desert Storm, which both of them participated in.

After half an hour.

Lake and Gibbs walked down the second floor talking and talking.

In the office area, McGee directly opened Lake's military file and shared Lake's experience with Dinozzo next to him.

Dinozzo looked at the dense smears in Lakeco's public file and was a little surprised: "Jesus Christ, is this guy the second Gibbs?"

next second.

Dinozzo's heart froze, looking at McGee and Jieva who were silent beside him, he didn't dare to turn his head back: "The boss is behind me, right?"

McGee and Jieva nodded without leaving a trace.

Dinozzo immediately became mentally defensive: "Come on, boss, I'm ready."

The words fall.

Snapped!

Gibbs gave Dinozzo a loving touch and walked towards his desk expressionlessly: "Bring your gear."

The three quickly walked towards their desk.

"Boss, is there a case?"

"Quantico, no case."

"..."

Lake looked at Dinozzo who was stunned when he pulled out his pistol, smiled and tilted his head: "I'm not the second Gibbs, at least, I'm not very proficient in woodworking."

Di Nozzo: "..."

Quantico Military Base.

The three cars entered the Quantico base after being checked one after the other.

Lake got out of the car. I don't know if it was his own illusion. Even if he followed Gibbs and the others this time, he still vaguely felt that the base was very unwelcome to him.

Maybe an illusion.

Lake doesn't have any plans to be in the limelight, just as he said to Gibbs just now, with only eyes and no brains, as long as that Langley suspect Yusuf Atta Mohammed has a justifiable reason, Lake Guarantee, without further ado, immediately rule out his suspicion.

The Quantico Physics Laboratory is built on the Potomac River, near the Quantico Military Airfield.

"elder brother!"

Betty drove the golf cart of the base from a distance, got out of the car, and smiled at Lake: "Here?"

Lake hummed.

Betty was a little curious: "don't you ask me how I knew you came here?"

Lake thought about the scene where he just showed his credentials and said with a smile: "It is estimated that the moment I first entered the base, everyone in the base already knew that there were investigators from homeland security coming."

Betty nodded and stretched out two fingers: "In two minutes, the news has spread throughout the entire base. Is this kind of treatment never seen before?"

Lake smiled and changed the subject: "I'm here to investigate the case. What are you doing here while playing."

Betty said: "I came here specifically to tell you that you can't get in now."

"why?"

"Once the lab starts, it's impossible to open the door until it's over."

"……why?"

"..."

Betty sighed: "Brother, the person you want to find is the same as my boyfriend. He is an expert in nuclear physics, nuclear, nuclear, and the danger level of this thing, even if I put it simply, I am not a student of art. can understand."

Lake: "..."

Am I being despised?

How about studying art, broaden your horizons, cultivate your sentiments, the most important point is that art can cultivate sentiments and increase your emotional intelligence. Although Lake sometimes regrets not studying law or medicine, it is only the regret of getting to Longwangshu. .

Put it this way.

Lake felt that if he had studied law or medicine, would he be able to choose his own future path after a few breakups, should he follow the path of the kidney and not the law?

Can?

Art can.

There is a saying that is not the case, do men who study art have the hidden skills of having a heart and a thousand flowers, and often walking by the river without getting their shoes wet?

Lake is still very satisfied with his profession.

soon.

Gibbs over there also got the same news from the guard. No one is allowed to enter until the experiment in the laboratory is over. If there is a problem, it will be a big problem.

Lake and Gibbs discussed it, and simply waited here. Anyway, in more than an hour, the experiment in there will be over.

Nothing to do.

Lake looked at Betty curiously: "Who proposed this experiment, your boyfriend and that Yusuf Atta Mohammed?"

Betty shook his head: "It should be together. It has been researching for more than a year. He and Dr. Mohammed are the leading researchers of the [Biotechnology Power Enhancement Project]."

Lake raised an eyebrow.

Biotechnology empowerment projects?

this name...

strange.

Lake asked, "What is this study?"

He just asked casually and didn't take it too seriously.

After all, the federal military has carried out a lot of research, and there are many strange things. The research on fecal bombs is also known as the human biological waste explosives laboratory.

Betty looked at Gibbs and others not far away and whispered, "Brother, do you still remember our dad's dream?"

Lake stared at Betty for a moment.

The dream of General Thaddeus Ross.

Have.

General Ross wants to have another monkey with Karen, but Karen has no interest. After all, for Karen, he has complete children, and Lake and Betty are older.

So do you still have a wish?

Have.

During World War II, the perfect soldier was created, the super soldier serum of Captain America Steve Rogers.

……Wait a moment!
