Chapter 50

Xiaobao is 36 years old this year, and he naturally treasures his son, who he has finally had after much effort.

The reason for writing about his son's illness is, first, to explain the issue of updates, and second, to seek blessings.

However, I didn't expect that in the comment section, someone would actually say I'm using my son to gain support. Huh...

In Xiaobao's view, those who can say such things are mostly young people without children.

Otherwise, when you see your baby sick, you absolutely wouldn't say such things.

To be honest, as long as the baby is healthy, Xiaobao could give up this book even if it performs well.

So, young people who haven't experienced this, please think before you speak and consider whether your words might hurt others.

If you just think this book is poorly written, you can curse Xiaobao all you want.

But to bring up Xiaobao's family, especially a baby who is only three months old, Xiaobao can only say, your upbringing is really "great"!

...

Liu Rui'an, who had been in a deep sleep, woke up and felt the changes in his body, feeling quite happy.

"Master, you have been in a deep sleep for fifteen Earth days, six hours, and thirty-eight minutes," the Starling, who had been closely monitoring his master, reported immediately.

"What?!" Liu Rui'an, who was about to try out how much stronger he had become from this sunbathing, said in surprise.

After confirmation from the Starling, Liu Rui'an, who had no idea he had slept for half a month, frowned.

He had only planned to rest for a few days and then go to S.H.I.E.L.D. to get what he wanted, but he didn't expect to sleep for half a month.

It wasn't a big deal, as for the current Liu Rui'an, even if he couldn't achieve immortality, fifteen days was nothing.

However, the problem was that these fifteen days had passed without his knowledge, meaning it was out of his control.

"Damn! Could it be that the divine blood and Kryptonian genes have some conflict, causing some uncontrollable issue?" After having the Starling replay his situation over the past fifteen days, Liu Rui'an frowned and thought to himself.

"Master, there are some matters at the company that require your attention," the Starling said, seeing that its master was floating in the void, deep in thought, with no intention of moving.

"What matters?" Liu Rui'an asked, brought back to his senses.

After the Starling's report, Liu Rui'an learned that S.H.I.E.L.D. had come knocking during his fifteen-day sleep.

It wasn't for any other reason but because of Skye, who had been "invited" to the underground base of the Umbrella Technology building.

In addition, Phil Coulson, who came to visit, also inquired about the matter discussed with Dr. Bruce Banner.

Upon learning that Phil Coulson reported to the company almost every day just to catch him while he was still in "research mode," Liu Rui'an temporarily put aside his thoughts about his abnormal condition and flew back to Earth.

He didn't realize it until he flew, but his fifteen-day sleep was not without its rewards; in fact, the gains were quite significant.

He couldn't test his strength yet, but in terms of speed, he was ten times faster than before, even when going all out.

Liu Rui'an wouldn't think that just fifteen days of sunbathing would make him so much stronger. The current situation had to be related to his mysterious fifteen-day sleep.

Returning to Earth at a speed ten times faster than before, Liu Rui'an didn't rush back to his company but instead headed to the Trident Headquarters Archive under the cover of night.

As the name suggests, the archive stored all the records.

However, unlike ordinary archives, the Trident Headquarters Archive contained all the administrative data of S.H.I.E.L.D. in a box.

Although Liu Rui'an knew that some highly confidential documents wouldn't be there, the box still contained all the inter-departmental memos of S.H.I.E.L.D.

By obtaining this box, he could freely access all the travel schedules, purchase orders, and other information of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The main reason he went there first was that the obelisk, code-named 084, had not yet fallen into HYDRA's hands at this point.

The exact location of this obelisk was not mentioned in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Liu Rui'an was also very interested in the internal affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D., so he made this trip.

Since Maria Hill, a Level 9 agent, had become one of his people, although she might not have access to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s core secrets, knowing the location of the Trident Headquarters Archive was not a problem.

For Liu Rui'an, it wasn't a problem, but for the staff of S.H.I.E.L.D., especially the Trident Headquarters Archive, his appearance was a huge issue.

Facing the gray-black Kryptonian-powered armor and the superhuman strength, the entire Trident Headquarters Archive was completely conquered in just five minutes.

This was even with Liu Rui'an trying to control his strength and avoid unnecessary killing; otherwise, it wouldn't have taken that long.

Actually, to obtain the data box from the Trident Headquarters Archive, the Starling's current capabilities didn't require such trouble.

All it needed was a way to access the data center of the Trident Headquarters Archive, and the rest could be handled by the Starling.

However, Liu Rui'an wanted to test his strength after his half-month sleep.

Thus, the staff of the Trident Headquarters Archive, especially the armed security personnel, met a tragic fate.

Fortunately, Liu Rui'an's main goal was just the data box, and he only did some minor tampering with the system of the Trident Headquarters Archive.

Without intending to completely destroy the place, he quickly disappeared into the night after a few minutes of "demolition" work.

Not caring about how S.H.I.E.L.D. would handle the loss of the data box, Liu Rui'an didn't return to his company after leaving the Trident Headquarters Archive.

Instead, he made a turn and, under the cover of night, quickly arrived above the famous Tahiti Island in the Society Islands of French Polynesia in the South Pacific.

Liu Rui'an didn't come here on a sudden whim for tourism.

Even if he did want to travel, no one would be foolish enough to come here in the middle of the night.

These islands, while beautiful during the day, can be quite eerie at night.

If it were a developed area, it would be fine, but the undeveloped areas can be quite sinister at night.

Following the route pre-scouted by the Starling, Liu Rui'an soon arrived at the entrance of a clearly man-made base.

The entrance was not only well-hidden but also quite simple.

Since he had planned to test his strength, Liu Rui'an, upon landing, or rather, crashing, instantly created a large crater on the concrete platform designed for landing flying vehicles.

Even if there wasn't 24/7 surveillance, the noise was enough to attract everyone's attention.

Unfortunately, as the old saying goes, in the face of absolute power, all plans and struggles are futile.

Ignoring the warnings from the base, nicknamed "Guest House," Liu Rui'an immediately broke in with brute force after landing.

The concrete defenses, designed to withstand nuclear attacks, were fragile in the face of Liu Rui'an's strength.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Rat-tat-tat!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Amidst the intense gunfire, the bullets that should have been deadly formed a barrage that left no place to hide.

Unfortunately, such intense attacks did not stop Liu Rui'an, who was wearing Kryptonian-powered armor, even for a step.

"Today is your lucky day," Liu Rui'an said with a smile to the members of the combat team attacking him.

This wasn't a bluff or mockery. With his absolute speed advantage, he appeared in front of the combat team members with a few quick movements and easily ended the fight with a few casual punches.

Fortunately, Liu Rui'an held back his strength and didn't strike vital points; otherwise, the combat team members wouldn't just be unconscious.

After dealing with these obstacles, Liu Rui'an contacted the Starling, and soon, a combat force composed of intelligent robots and androids broke in.

The self-destruct mechanism, designed as an emergency override, was easily neutralized by Liu Rui'an's abilities.

With no fear of being buried alive, Liu Rui'an quickly arrived at his main target.

It was a cylindrical container similar to a cryogenic sleep pod, filled with a translucent liquid, and inside the liquid was the upper body of a blue alien corpse.

To be more precise, it couldn't be called a corpse. At least from Liu Rui'an's observation, this suspected Kree still maintained some activity, like a living dead.

"Take everything here, especially the items in these two rooms. Not only should nothing be missing, but they must also be able to be restored to their original state," Liu Rui'an instructed after scanning the living dead with his abilities.

"As you command, my master," the captain of the intelligent robots, who had followed him in, said and began the "demolition" work carefully.

After the intelligent robots moved the key items from the two rooms to the Punisher-class frigate, which had returned to Earth from Mercury a few days ago, the Starling found the warehouse storing special items from the data box.

According to the information in the box, not only was the obelisk, essential for Inhuman evolution, stored there, but also a large number of special items collected from various sources.

Liu Rui'an, who had just raided two places, had to admit that the feeling of "bullying the weak" was indeed quite nice.

Thus, after receiving reports of the mysterious raid on the Trident Headquarters Archive and the "Guest House" on Tahiti Island, S.H.I.E.L.D. received another report of the special items warehouse being robbed.

When Nick Fury arrived at the scene with his team, the warehouse, though not completely looted, was in a terrible state.

Upon receiving the loss list from his subordinates and discovering that the special item, code-named 084, the obelisk, was among the missing items, Nick Fury immediately thought of a certain Asian individual.

"Phil, do everything you can to meet with Liu Rui'an," Nick Fury said through the internal communication system.

"But boss, it's the middle of the night," Phil Coulson, who had been staying at the Umbrella Technology company's guest hotel, replied.

"I don't care if it's night or day; do as I say!" Nick Fury, suppressing his anger, said with a grim expression.
