Chapter 365: Demonstration against S.H.I.E.L.D., the Cosmic Cube, and Insight Project (first update)
Zhi! Zhi!
In a desolate wilderness area, two black pickup trucks were parked on the ground, and five red machines the size of a baby's hand were floating in the air.
These red machines that look like micro-robots circle in a circle, constantly rotating, and spraying pure white lasers towards the ground.
Soon, a ring about three meters in diameter appeared on the overgrown ground.
As the high-intensity laser continued to spray, the ground began to loosen and shake.
After Coulson, who was not far away, saw it, he stretched his hand slightly behind to signal. Everyone's expressions became serious and they slowly stepped forward.
Tony on the side also closed his armor mask and landed on the passage leading to the underground base.
boom!
As the laser continued to spit out, this circle had already been cut through.
With a roar, the soil sank, and in everyone's eyes, a huge hole appeared.
Buzz!
The moment the hole appeared, Tony Stark called the microrobot above to enter the hole and explore the environment of the underground base.
At the same time, the image observed by the robot was projected in front of his eyes.
"Tony, what's the situation down there? How many people are there?"
Colson put on a black body armor early, held a submachine gun in his hand, and asked in a deep voice.
No matter which underground base it is, there will be corresponding defense forces.
Just relying on these few people from SHIELD would be too much, even though he had already called for support from the agency.
But at present, 80% of the main force still relies on Iron Man Tony Stark.
However.
Click! Click!
With a clicking sound, the armor mask on Tony's face slowly opened.
In the eyes of everyone, the expressions on Tony's eyes and face were very complicated, including shock, disbelief, and even a hint of fear.
"Let's go down and take a look." Tony was silent for a while and said with a sigh.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tony did not close his mask. Instead, he put on his armor, walked to the hole on the ground, and jumped down.
Colson and others looked at each other and followed closely.
call! call!
A large amount of white air waves were sprayed from the soles of the armor's feet, and Tony Stark slowly fell down.
Looking around, although the entire base is bright and bright, it is very quiet and even a little strange.
tread! tread! tread!
Tony's expression did not change, and he strode forward directly, and loud footsteps came from the empty base.
Coulson and the others who had just fallen behind had completely opposite expressions to Tony's. They were holding submachine guns in their hands and followed closely behind them with alert expressions.
It seems to be defending against possible enemies.
There was a thin layer of dust scattered on the silver-gray floor, which seemed to indicate that no one had cleaned it.
This made Coulson and others feel a little surprised.
But they didn't say much. The hidden cameras on their chests had already transmitted all the surrounding images back to the system as first-hand information for reference.
Soon, they reached the end of the current passage and pushed open the half-open door.
The next scene made Coulson and others horrified.
Behind the gate is a base hall in the base.
As soon as they entered the hall, the smell of blood made everyone cover their mouths and noses.
And Tony, who already knew it, closed his mask.
In the eyes of everyone, the ground was filled with large amounts of blood, white liquid, and a large number of corpses.
The causes of death of these corpses were surprisingly consistent. Some had bullet holes in their foreheads, some had bullet holes in their chins, and some had a pistol clearly stuck in their mouths.
They all committed suicide!
What made everyone feel weird was that all the corpses were lying on the ground with withered faces.
"Sir, the time of death of these corpses is approximately within 2 days."
A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent walked up to a corpse, skillfully opened the corpse's eyes, observed its pale, lifeless pupils, and gave his own judgment hesitantly.
Judging from the yellow complexion, the time of death should be more than 10 days.
Then, after observing the opponent's hands, the gun next to him, and the way he held it, he said again: "The cause of death was suicide. There was no coercion."
Coulson fell silent after hearing the judgment given by his men.
A person has reasons to commit suicide.
But everyone commits suicide, which is a bit weird.
Afterwards, everyone left the base hall and entered another passage, where they once again saw the two guards who had committed suicide.
tread! tread! tread!
Along with the footsteps of the mechanical armor, everyone continued walking in silence.
Walking to the hall, cafeteria, training room, research room, etc., all you see are corpses one after another.
The cause of death was suicide, suicide, suicide.
As everyone walked away, they saw more and more suicide corpses, and the more silent and depressed they became.
It was unheard of for everyone in the entire base to commit suicide. It was appalling.
"Sir, the base defense system has been breached and all permissions have been obtained."
Jarvis's voice rang in his ears, and Tony ordered in a serious voice: "Arrange the recent surveillance videos."
"Find out the cause of the suicide and the current status of the ghost."
Soon, Jarvis projected a large number of images in front of Tony.
There are scenes of Hydra researchers exchanging research on human subjects, scenes of their bloody training in combat, and even meetings where they discuss how to solve the problems Lockhart has created.
Most of the Hydra warriors in the base were working as usual, but at the same time two mornings, they seemed to be affected by something.
The expression on his face quickly disappeared, his expression was very dull, and they all picked up the pistol in their hands and shot themselves.
The person who didn’t have a pistol would just pick up the sharp weapon on the side and commit suicide!
The closest surveillance picture shows a ghost passing by a body lying on the ground.
As if the ghost had absorbed something, the body, which was originally pale and dead, became withered and yellow, even rickety.
Correspondingly, the ghost became more solid and faster, and the surrounding corpses automatically turned yellow without even floating above the corpse.
what does that mean? Tony knew it.
The ghost uses these dead people as fertilizer and becomes more powerful.
Why did these people die?
Why do ghosts come?
Seeing the images that kept appearing in his eyes, Tony had a vague answer in his heart.
"Has the source been analyzed?" Tony asked again.
"After data comparison, it was found that the people in the base conference room were the initial point. With it as the center, the people around it were continuously affected, initiating group suicide."
Hearing this, Tony closed his eyes, his expression constantly changing, ranging from shock to disbelief. Even mixed with a hint of fear.
Finally, it turned into a deep sigh.
Lockhart, alas!
After a moment of silence, looking at Colson who was looking at him from behind with a puzzled expression on his face, Tony said slowly: "Colson, I'm going back first."
"If you are, then you should check it yourself."
Having said this, Tony hesitated for a moment and then added: "Everything must have a source. I hope you will investigate the cause and make a judgment."
Then, along the passage that he just entered, Tony's armor flew outward.
Out of sight out of mind.
Normally, such a large-scale suicide, no, massacre would only arouse the anger within him.
However, most of the people who died deserved it.
In addition, Lockhart once saved his life, and the relationship was still good.
He is a little upset now and doesn't know how to deal with the relationship between the two.
Coulson looked at Tony's leaving figure, recalling what Tony said before leaving, with confusion in his eyes.
After thinking for a while, he just continued to explore forward with the team members next to him.
He needs to collect all the information and prepare for the follow-up.
At the same time, Lockhart, who was far away in Karma Taj, seemed to be aware of something, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Five ghosts refined with Hydra snake heads.
They were all refined by Lockhart through extremely complex black magic, including not only curses, but the soul even contained traces of fate.
The reason why it is so complicated.
On the one hand, it was the punishment given to Hydra more than once. Use various means to harass and attack, and even want to kill yourself.
Nuclear bombs were even used, and in the end they colluded with Dormammu's followers.
If he still dealt with it lightly, he would be very upset.
He can bear it, but the students under him can't!
He never thought of himself as a very generous person.
It is his character to seek revenge and repay injustice.
On the other hand, it was actually the information he learned from the memories of the souls of Dormammu believers, and he acted as a back-up.
Now that he knows that Dormammu treats him with such hatred, there will even be demon gods from multiple dimensions coming in the future.
He would not continue to wait foolishly.
These five ghosts are a trump card he left for himself.
Of course, the newly born ghosts can hardly play much role.
Therefore, he followed the connection between the substitute, the substitute, and the original person to curse.
Completely uprooting the Hydra while serving as nourishment for these new-born ghosts.
Lay the foundation for the subsequent war.
After all, Hydra had attacked him many times. After he was defeated, he had to pay the price.
Of course, there is a small effect.
That is.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Trident Building, Director's Office.
"Director, we have found 15 underground base addresses so far, and the design scope includes the United States, Mexico, Canada and other regions."
"In almost every underground base, no one survived."
"Analysis of surveillance video and system data from the base we captured."
"."
"The target is the long-dead Hydra. According to existing information, they contacted a certain mysterious force to capture and kill Lockhart's students."
"."
"Hydra is divided into many snake heads, and they always have extremely powerful robot stand-in technology, but currently all snake heads are known to be dead."
"."
"Director, although we can't believe it, Alexander Pierce is a smuggler of Hydra. All the substitutes that have been investigated so far have died. The analysis department has given a probability of up to 90%. Alexander Pierce's true identity has also died. ."
"."
"Based on the analysis of the base's residual energy structure and the latest magic structure analysis technology, the similarity in magic structure to Lockhart's is 62%."
"Based on the known information, there is a 95% probability that Lockhart was the leader of this incident."
"."
"The analysis department has given that there is a 20% probability that the cause of Hydra's death is biotechnology, a 50% probability is quantum entanglement technology, and a 70% probability is magic curse technology."
"."
Listening to Colson read the report in his hand in a low voice.
Although Nick Fury's face was expressionless, he pressed hard on the table with his five fingers, and the veins in his palms were exposed, which showed that it was turbulent.
Demonstration, this is a naked demonstration!
Nick Fury naturally knew that it was Lockhart's revenge against Hydra.
But in his eyes, it was more like a demonstration.
A warning to all who spy on him, this is what will happen to his enemies.
Thoughts were floating around, and Nick Fury felt an unknown fire rising in his heart due to a strong sense of losing control.
But at the same time, it quickly disappeared and became helpless.
All the Hydras that were hidden so deeply were dead, and not even the stand-in technology caused any hindrance.
In other words, even if he wanted to kill Lockhart, there was nothing he could do to stop him.
This made him have many thoughts in his heart, but in the end they could only turn into a heavy sigh and fear in his heart.
The power of magic, what SHIELD is involved in, is extremely shallow.
Even defense is difficult to achieve.
but
With that treasure that even the universe empire is fighting for, it is not impossible to overtake in a corner.
"Colson, start the Insight Project!"
"At the same time, personnel loyalty screening is conducted."
"Mobilize all resources in the bureau to prepare weapons with the Cosmic Cube as its core."
