Chapter 224 Surfaced

Angels came and raised thousands of people from the dead.

This incident was naturally suppressed by the government. If the general public knew that angels have the ability to resurrect, the country would be in chaos.

Including the man-eating monster was also concealed.

Inform the victims not to spread the word everywhere, so as not to cause a nationwide panic similar to the Mandarin incident.

People who occasionally have air leakage from their mouths can't have much impact in a short period of time. In short, this matter can be suppressed for as long as it lasts.

S.H.I.E.L.D. began to investigate the truth behind the living dead incident. Ronin participated in this investigation on behalf of Overwatch. After all, the Overwatch base was also attacked and might be able to provide some help to the case.

First, they had a conversation with scientists from the National Academy of Sciences. For the enemy to be so cruel to the National Academy of Sciences, they must hate the Academy or the people inside.

Finally, the scientists thought of a possibility. Five years ago, they were ostracized and forced to leave a team at the Academy of Sciences, a team led by Dr. Willie Hoyle, a team pursuing immortality and resurrection.

Speaking of this, combined with the characteristics of the immortality of the living dead, the truth of the matter gradually emerged.

Isn't the living dead a different kind of eternal life? It is in line with the pursuit of this experimental team.

Next they focused on this team.

SHIELD's huge database contains all the information on American citizens.

After calling up the life of Dr. Willie Hoyle, there was a lot of irrelevant information, but some valuable materials were also found - several experimental reports on the "Everlasting Higanbana" project.

The latest experimental report was signed on December 21, 2000, three years ago.

Scientists from the Academy of Sciences provided help, extracted the virus from the corpses of the living dead, and conducted repeated and thorough research.

It was then shockingly discovered that the annotated description in the report actually overlapped with the characteristics of the virus.

There are various indications that this new type of RNA virus is what Dr. Hoyle's team studied.

So, they narrowed their target to the missing experimental team.

In addition, it was also discovered that there is a kind of dust-like fine particles near the places where the living dead appear, including around the Overwatch base, at the entrance of SHIELD headquarters, and in the Academy of Sciences building.

After research, it was found that it was a substance mixed with a variety of materials, and its specific use was not yet clear.

In the SHIELD meeting room, Ronin sat with Nick Fury and several key agents to discuss this incident.

"I think it's the substance carried by the monster." Black Widow expressed her opinion.

Luo Ning thought for a while and said slowly: "No, I think it is a bait that can attract the living dead. Otherwise, why would those living dead only appear on specific occasions and not run around on the street?"

"The livingdead?" Colson frowned.

Luo Ning nodded and said: "Don't you think it's very vivid to use it to represent a monster? A living dead person."

"Yeah, very vivid."

Steve felt that calling it a monster was too general, and it was appropriate to use the living dead to represent such half-dead monsters.

"I agree with Mr. Luo Ning's point of view."

Fury did not struggle with the vocabulary. He deeply agreed with Luo Ning's analysis. He was worthy of being a man who drank six walnuts all year round.

"I don't know if you noticed it or not, but there are many iron cages outside the Overwatch base."

Luo Ning held his chin and continued: "So I infer that the situation may be like this. The enemy first spreads this kind of particulate matter at the target place, then uses a large truck to transport the living dead, drives to the effective range of the smell of the particulate matter, and puts the cage in Throw it down. The lock is a live lock and will open when hit. When the living dead come out, they will all rush towards the particles. When the particles lose their smell, the living dead will move based on their instincts, and their instinct is to eat people! "

The analysis was very clear, and everyone thought it made sense. It can be seen that this kind of particulate matter is more attractive to monsters than flesh and blood.

"The process has been roughly deduced, but how to find out the experimental team behind the living dead?" Black Widow asked.

"Natasha, didn't you find a problem at the Academy of Sciences?" Hawkeye asked.

"What's the problem?"

"The living dead all have one thing in common, they are all black. It can be said that 98% of them are black, with a few whites."

When Hawkeye said this, Black Widow understood.

The number of experimental subjects is so huge, often in the thousands. Only in Africa can so many black people be found, and catching black people as experimental subjects in Africa can avoid many risks. The most important thing is that it is not easy to attract the attention of the local government.

Therefore, the research institute established by that experimental team is most likely to be in Africa!

In fact, we can't blame her for not paying attention to these details. It's really because those living dead are so terrifying, covered in blood, and they don't want to take a second look during the fight.

"Yes, so the target is likely to be in Africa. Only some particularly poor areas in Africa and areas where the government is unwilling to manage can allow the mastermind behind the scenes to capture such a large number of experimental subjects with almost no risk," Colson said.

"But how did they bring so many living dead into the United States?" Black Widow asked.

"There are always things we don't know about." Luo Ning raised his index finger, indicating that there was someone above him.

The vice president has been bribed, not to mention other senior officials.

Fury thinks it's very possible that there are always one or two bugs in the national leadership, but he doesn't know who they are.

Black Widow nodded in understanding. It seems that this world is not as beautiful as she imagined. There is a dark side everywhere.

But there is still one thing that puzzles her, "But they are just a group of scientists."

"Agent Romanov, do you still think it is just an experimental team? Would the experimental team attack Overwatch and SHIELD innocently?"

Fury has guessed a possibility. The organization that assists Dr. Hoyle's experimental team is likely to be their mortal enemy.

Before his death, Sitwell said that what SHIELD and Overwatch cut off together was just one of the nine heads of Hydra. The nine heads have their own thoughts and are not involved with each other.

Only Hydra will hate SHIELD and Overwatch.

It is them who hindered Hydra's stupid dream of unifying the world.

So Hydra will try every means to eradicate them, but Overwatch is too powerful. Hydra can only rely on external forces, and this new RNA virus is their best weapon at present.

Black Widow was stunned for a moment, and soon thought of Hydra. It turned out that Hydra was probably behind all this.

It's really haunting!

The investigation has already made some progress. SHIELD immediately sent people to Africa to investigate, and Ronin is waiting for news at the base.

If necessary, Overwatch will be dispatched immediately.
