Chapter 178: The Hydra's Plan
"A few days ago, a terrorist attack occurred in the suburbs of Sokovia, and the family of Baron Zemo was tragically killed in this incident.
The baron claimed that it took him two days to find the remains of his family, alongside fragments of weapons with the name of the American military industrial company, Hammer Industries."
The reporter on the TV looked quite displeased—like a child forced to claim their drunk parents from the police station. Despite his distaste, he had no choice but to report it.
Since no one else would handle it, the TV station didn't hold back from revealing the shareholders behind Hammer Industries.
Ordinary people loved seeing such figures get arrested, which would boost ratings now and again when Ross dealt with it. This was a high-quality focus event.
"Secretary of State Ross has announced a thorough investigation into the matter and will provide an explanation to Sokovia. Let us look forward to the actions of 'General Thunderbolt.'"
On the plane, Harry lay motionless in the neural link compartment.
This was a prototype chamber that used computers to simulate a virtual reality that was 100% realistic by connecting to the human nervous system.
However, the cost of building this prototype chamber was extremely high, and it was customized solely for Harry, making widespread adoption unlikely.
Nevertheless, it had accomplished the mission of verifying the brain-computer interface.
In the virtual reality, Harry was lying on a lounge chair on the beach, with news on the left and Zemo's communication interface on the right.
"Your family has now been assigned to the Air and Space Strategic Fortress—almost ready for work, Baron."
Harry even arranged a meeting before leaving, which was a considerate gesture.
"Alright, where do we start?"
Harry played the phone call Tony made a few days ago and discussed his suspicions with Zemo.
After a moment of thought, Zemo said, "So Hydra wants to attack you this time—why would they want to target you?"
Harry pondered and said, "There are too many reasons..."
Fundamentally, Hydra is wary of targets like him that could threaten their plans. In the original storyline, they even used the Insight Plan as a brutal elimination method.
The plan theoretically aimed to eliminate these threats and subjugate the world by force.
But going deeper, if this plan succeeded, it would lead to World War III—perhaps that was their intention.
On the other hand, Harry had secretly acted against Hydra and revealed the identity of the Green Goblin. Fury was also secretly investigating Hydra.
Considering this, Osborn was highly suspicious and ranked as Hydra's top suspect—Hydra might act against him, and Fury could be exposed.
Not to mention those advanced technologies, the whole world wanted Osborn to disclose these innovations.
After hearing Harry's guesses, Zemo roughly understood the situation.
"...Alright, but the fact that they are using Tony Stark against you now indicates we are entering a critical point in time." Zemo said.
At a specific moment, Harry immediately thought of the Insight Project.
In the original story, Nick Fury discovered something he shouldn't have known at that time. Before the Insight Project was launched, Pierce was forced to reveal his true colors, attempt to assassinate Fury, and capture Captain America.
Thinking this way, this matter might indeed be related to Fury, but Harry couldn't contact him.
Zemo continued, "Based on the information you provided, the director of SHIELD is likely under control—or perhaps in a dormant state."
Harry gave Zemo a list of Hydra spies he knew and trusted, helping Zemo make his judgment.
This assessment was reasonable. If Fury were still in charge, Hydra couldn't control Tony.
"Stark is indeed under control—so the director of SHIELD must be compromised. The next question is, how did SHIELD control this billionaire?"
Zemo realized the boss knew a lot, and the information Harry provided didn't cover everything.
In this case, Zemo decided to guide Harry to think through the problem.
Harry rubbed his chin and thought: If Tony had any weakness, it was Pepper.
Because of this, Pepper was protected by his most trusted security chief, Happy—but there was one person both Pepper and Tony trusted who could be exploited.
Agent Coulson.
Coulson took orders from Fury, but now that Fury's status was uncertain, Pierce could assign Coulson tasks within SHIELD or even impersonate Fury.
Thinking of this, Harry used the encrypted line left by T-Bone to call Skye.
No one answered.
Harry said, "I understand what's happening. There is an agent Tony trusts deeply. He is loyal to SHIELD but unaware of Hydra's current situation."
Zemo could imagine the scenario.
"You think he's blackmailing Tony Stark? Would he do that?" Zemo needed more details.
"No, but he has an old Hydra comrade—they were agents from the same era."
John Garrett, trained alongside Coulson under Nick Fury, was abandoned by SHIELD during a mission, became self-serving, and joined Hydra.
He wasn't particularly loyal to Hydra—he was responsible for the Centipede serum, wanting to extend his own life.
Coulson made Tony lower his guard against SHIELD, while John Garrett handled specific actions. Coulson might not even know Tony's current situation or might have been captured.
"Exactly, Hydra loves doing this—they have many operatives who aren't necessarily loyal to Hydra and might not even know Hydra exists," Zemo said, snapping his fingers on the other end of the phone.
Even among Hydra members, they implemented segmented management.
"But it still doesn't make sense—what's the use of knowing my whereabouts? I can complete an orbital airdrop anywhere—"
Harry suddenly paused mid-sentence—
"This is where you got careless. While I don't like Stark, it's estimated that more than $3,000 billion worth of Stark arms may have spread in Sokovia.
Though Osborn's value has far surpassed Stark's, you must admit this arms expert excels in weaponry. I've heard both your companies have been exposed to Chitauri technology."
Orbital airdrops aren't indefensible. If the airborne pod is interfered with mid-flight, it would have devastating consequences for the airborne troops.
Coincidentally, Stark is proficient in various intercontinental missiles, anti-missile systems, and other technologies.
Defending against orbital airdrops is challenging, taking an ordinary team over ten years to research, but Stark Industries progresses rapidly. Perhaps he was considering this technology from the start.
-----------
Chapter 179: Countermeasures
"But this is obviously not enough. I know that Russia has now joined the 'SHIELD control camp'. It is very difficult to deploy troops in Russia to attack without anyone noticing."
Zemo continued to explain that even if soldiers cannot be airlifted, Harry's abilities are not weak. He has a set of powerful armor and an unknown number of aircraft, and he is suspected of having undergone physical enhancement.
"So they also need efficient executors - I noticed in your information that you seem to have pretended to be an underground force to carry out operations. This will become a useful cover - used to deceive some people. With Stark's approval, they may even come back to bite you."
When it comes to deceiving someone, Harry could only think of the Avengers, especially Captain America.
Speaking of which, there has been no news from the sanatorium for such a long time. Hypnotic suggestion should not last this long.
Harry was very confident in the security design of the nursing home, but now that his opponent included Tony Stark, and possibly Captain America...
Harry made another call and asked Aiden to secretly confirm the Winter Soldier's condition.
As a result of this investigation, Harry was stunned - the "Winter Soldier" did not improve but instead kept yelling and going crazy after waking up.
After laboratory comparison, this person was not the Winter Soldier Barnes at all!
Someone had stolen Barnes!
Zemo was not too surprised by this result. He continued to analyze: "In this case, it means that our 'beloved' Captain America has also joined the enemy camp - although he may have been deceived."
When Zemo mentioned the name Captain America, it was a bit strange. Few foreigners admired Captain America, especially in a small Eastern European country like Sokovia that suffered countless disasters all year round.
"You know what? I have conceived a plan to break up the Avengers. If an empire begins to collapse from within, it is truly over. Hydra obviously knows this too."
Zemo's voice sounded like a spell.
In his view, the largest interest group in the United States is the various high-tech industries formed and led by Osborn and Stark. It is unrealistic to take action against any of them directly.
But if they can make them suspicious of each other and create rifts in the alliance, this largest capital group will disintegrate.
This is true at the level of forces. At the level of individual assassinations, the Avengers will serve as the vanguard.
Harry rubbed his brows. As expected, he must have been classified as Hydra by SHIELD.
If he dies, SHIELD will be able to forcefully launch an investigation into Osborn, fabricate evidence, throw accusations, and use other familiar methods.
And once this plan succeeds, the alliance between other countries and Norman will also stagnate. Whether they believe SHIELD's lies or not, they will not mind giving SHIELD political support in exchange for some benefits.
It doesn't matter if the operation against Osborn fails - as expected, the helicarrier is already preparing to ascend to the sky at this moment.
Once these motherships ascend to the sky, Hydra's dark dynasty will begin - even if all threatening targets are not killed at once, global tension will soar, and World War III may begin at any time.
Harry believed that these superheroes would definitely be able to solve this series of "Dark Dynasty" incidents with their abilities afterward, but he and Osborn would become sacrifices.
Thinking of this, Harry could foresee a situation of isolation and helplessness after arriving in Russia. The Avengers may come out and beat him up, and then Hydra agents will give him a few more blows.
But Zemo still had details to add: "There is one more detail to add - how do they plan to deploy killers in Russia? To be honest, the Avengers will definitely not kill you directly, so who are the people responsible for doing it?
These people should have good on-the-spot handling skills, be proficient in all types of assassination activities, and be able to kill cleanly and without hesitation."
Harry pressed his temples - there really was a force that Hydra could contact, the Red Room.
In the MCU, the Red Room is a spy organization left behind by the former Soviet Union. They use stolen technology to secretly create a serum that can delay aging and slightly strengthen the user's body. This is where the Black Widow comes from.
The Red Room used this serum and brainwashing technology to create an army of widows. In the process of creating an army of widows, a former Soviet scientist Ivchenko played a huge role. He was proficient in hypnotic brainwashing technology and invented some special drugs.
This technology was not only applied to the Black Widow but also to the Winter Soldier. How the technology was exchanged, Harry was not sure about the specific details.
But he knew that Dr. Ivchenko happened to be in the same cell as Dr. Zola after he was arrested...
In other words, it is really possible for the Red Room to unite with Hydra, but he didn't know how they would talk about dividing the spoils after the war.
Zemo also knew about the Red Room, and his laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Look, Hydra is everywhere like this. Do you feel the pressure? Mr. Osborn."
That being said, Zemo was even more curious about Harry - how did this entrepreneur know so much information?
You must know that Harry is not even 25 years old, and it has only been a few years since he took over Osborn. How did he collect such a huge amount of intelligence without attracting too much attention from Hydra?
"It's just a stumbling block on the way forward. It's not a big problem to solve them." Harry said as he lay back on the recliner.
The problem is that now that Tony has been caught, under normal circumstances, it is certainly impossible for them to kill Pepper Potts. After all, this is their only means to coerce Iron Man.
But if Harry bulldozes them, Hydra will inevitably take out Pepper as a hostage. If it is not handled properly at this time, Pepper will die, and it will really create a formidable enemy for himself.
You must know that Tony did not experience much in the Killian incident in this world, and everything happened to the Osbornes.
What if Pepper dies...
Harry frowned suddenly.
What if she dies?
She can't die!
I have the Dragon Bone secret medicine in my hand!
At that time, three doses of the secret medicine were snatched from the Hand, two of which were used to resurrect Frank's family to verify the feasibility. The last one was originally reserved for Norman as insurance, but it was not used in the end.
And it is absolutely impossible for Hydra to know about this. The secret medicine is the foundation of the Hand. The fact that I stole three doses of the secret medicine from them will definitely be covered up by them and not spread!
Thinking of this, Harry suddenly understood -
Zemo on the side was not in a hurry, just waiting for Harry to give him a countermeasure. In his opinion, this situation was really difficult to handle, and there was a high probability that Osborn would break up with Stark in the end.
Once Hydra loses this battle, it will be difficult to save Pepper's life. As long as the situation of the incident is slightly packaged, this hatred can easily be transferred to Harry.
Just transferring one-tenth of the hatred is enough.
This plan is a chain of links. If Zemo is left to handle it, he can only choose...
Unexpectedly, Harry suddenly laughed: "Give me the Hydra base you know, and I will parachute the Titan directly over their heads.
And you... I want you to go to Siberia and help me pick up someone."
"The prison there is not easy to recruit people from," Zemo said.
"Well, don't forget that I also have my own political identity. The FSB will let me go."
After all, Hydra and the Red Room are just organizations in the shadows. Once the key problems are solved, it won't be too difficult to counter them by pulling away this layer of shadows.
Especially for an "official entrepreneur" with wide connections like Harry.

Chapter 180: Meeting
Hydra actually doesn't have many ways to restrain Harry Osborn, but most rely on Tony Stark's technology.
The key to their leverage over Tony is Pepper's life, but Harry can solve that problem.
Once this link is resolved, Hydra's conspiracy becomes fragile.
In the original storyline, they could easily manipulate Cap and Fury, but this tactic is useless against the living Harry.
"...Are you sure you want to do this? If Stark's girlfriend dies..."
"Then she dies. Osborn can crush Stark. I don't care about that," Harry said firmly to Zemo, refusing to explain further.
This is a critical link, and even Zemo should be cautious.
"Okay, I underestimated you." Zemo noticed Harry had a secret trump card and wisely decided not to probe further.
The virtual reality cabin opened, and Harry stood up. The maintenance staff still needed to perform some simple landing procedures, giving him time to check the equipment.
...
"They plan to go to the Kremlin tomorrow to discuss energy issues," Tony said.
He was now sitting in the cafe where he had arranged to meet Harry, speaking to several Avengers.
Tony's expression was a bit stiff, but he wore sunglasses and SHIELD's optical mask to prevent the other Avengers from noticing anything amiss.
"To be honest, I had a good impression of him. I didn't expect him to be Hydra," Hawkeye Barton said on the communication channel.
"I didn't either - but you can't judge a book by its cover," Natasha responded. "When we catch him, we'll see if we got the wrong person."
Two people remained silent: Captain America Steve and Iron Man Tony.
Steve had read the information given by SHIELD and believed Hydra might really be back, with his good friend Bucky as undeniable proof.
Because of this, he used Tony's equipment to steal Bucky away unnoticed.
However, he still remembered Harry's conversation with him and the active enhancer given to Peggy—without that potion, he might not have been able to speak to Peggy normally.
Tony's thoughts were even more complicated, and he felt a bit guilty:
He was always wary of people with secrets like Fury, and Harry and Osborn made him even warier.
So he spent time privately studying the operating mode of ctOS, looking for loopholes. He concluded from several conversations with Harry that the Osborn current was abnormal and designed a defense system to counter orbital airborne landings.
When Captain America abducted Bucky, Tony was scheming, even avoiding Lenin's detection without knowing his existence.
But he never thought Hydra was still around, much less that it was within SHIELD.
SHIELD attracted his attention by fabricating information, which raised his suspicions. Finally, he decided to help Steve steal the enhanced man. Once they got the Winter Soldier, everything would become clear.
But what caught him off guard was that after stealing the Winter Soldier, these SHIELD agents turned against him and immediately captured Pepper. Out of caution, ctOS couldn't monitor Stark's industries and territories.
The entire event happened so swiftly, it was clear they were well-trained, leaving Tony no time to react.
At this point, Pepper had been taken to an unknown location, and he could only proceed step by step—if things went south, he'd have to find a way to rescue Harry and Pepper later.
He hoped the information he left secretly would alert Harry, but he also worried the operation would fail and Pepper would be killed by Hydra.
Although the movies don't fully capture Hydra's madness and terror, don't forget that many of them are real Nazis—anti-human organizations at their core, true cancers of humanity, not comedic villains.
"The target is in sight," Barton reminded.
A clean, ordinary taxi slowly parked in front of the restaurant, and Harry tipped the driver a few hundred dollars before getting out.
"Rich people taking taxis? Let me check the driver's identity... A former Soviet colonel who spent several years in prison after retiring... Everything looks normal. Is he really just an ordinary person? Why do I feel a familiar vibe..." Natasha wondered.
Captain America remained silent, recalling the active enhancer Harry gave to Paige.
"If you're curious, I can ask him," Tony offered.
Harry adjusted his clothes and walked into the cafe with his suitcase.
"You took a taxi? Where's your driver?" Tony asked with interest.
Harry placed the suitcase at his feet and sat in front of Tony:
"I like to travel alone, sometimes with Felicia—my assistant. The driver is a veteran of the former Soviet Union. Sometimes, I feel quite sentimental. Without these people and that victory, the world might be different now, which I don't like."
Hearing this, many Americans, including Natasha, felt uneasy.
"You sound like..." Tony gestured, trying to express something.
Harry continued, "But it's true, isn't it? They are all respectable soldiers. No matter what happens to this country later, their achievements cannot be erased.
It was an epic battle. People fought fearlessly, tens of millions of soldiers died on the battlefield and never returned home. Everyone lost something.
Sometimes, to win a war, you have to be prepared to sacrifice something, and Cap should understand that—too bad he's not here.
I've always been interested in the origins of the upheaval here—
So I researched it, and you know, I like to share my findings. Guess what I discovered?"
As Harry spoke, Tony's heart beat faster, feeling like his blood would burst through his veins. He lowered his head, hiding his hands under the table.
Harry stood up: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry. I need to use the restroom—watch this box. It's important equipment."
Harry left, and Tony sighed in relief.
"What's wrong? Stark, order Osborn to be captured. Remember, your girlfriend is still in our hands," Garrett's voice came from another channel.
"...I want to see her."
"Haha, you're good at making demands—but just this once. Remember, if the mission fails, you'll never see her again."
A video of Pepper appeared on Tony's phone. She was in a dark room, dimly lit, with several guns pointed at her.
"Check the box now," Garrett ordered, cutting the video feed.
Tony opened the box, revealing a strange device.
"A wireless power transmission prototype," Tony identified it immediately.
"Interesting technology, but it will soon be ours," Garrett said with a smile. "Once the fight starts, you have 30 minutes to subdue Osborn or say goodbye to your girlfriend."
No one noticed a weak electric current flowing down Tony's body into his headphones.
---
Chapter 181 Chaos Situation
In the bathroom, Harry calmly arranged his appearance. He needed to give his team some time.
As an electrical life form, Lenin can secretly hack into electronic devices in ways that no one can imagine. Once such a link is established, his team can counter-detect their location.
"Boss, I found the location where Ms. Pepper is being held and have already sent it out," T-Bone reported in the communication channel.
For safety reasons, Lenin also conducted a full-body scan on Tony to confirm that he had not been implanted with anything strange by Hydra.
After confirming what happened here, Harry called Zemo again.
Zemo said: "I didn't expect that guy to be quite docile—I always thought that the super soldier serum would amplify the flaws in human nature and cause more problems, but that guy..."
"Maybe he's just stupid by nature," Harry shrugged.
The reinforcements brought in had a big belly, and even Natasha didn't recognize the driver he was pretending to be.
Zemo originally objected to Harry asking him to pick up this guy—but he didn't expect that this guy, despite being full of flaws, unexpectedly obeyed the arrangement on the battlefield.
And to be honest, in his opinion, this fat man was a bit stupid, and it only took a few words to convince him.
Harry didn't bring many people here, so his next behavior was closer to gambling, but he was very sure.
"Good luck to you, Osborn—and good luck to me," Zemo said half-jokingly.
"It should be Hydra praying for good luck."
Harry wiped his hands and looked in the mirror. It was time to go out.
As soon as they went out, the cafe had been emptied, and several Avengers were standing at the door in full gear—except Banner and Thor.
"Surrender, Osborn, there are S.H.I.E.L.D. agents outside," Captain America Steve said.
Harry smiled and said, "Are you going to execute me on the spot here?"
"You must face a public trial, and we will not kill you here—this arrest is public. And don't think too much about your airborne troops—that will only increase casualties. If the intelligence is wrong, you will be treated fairly. Now please hold your head in your hands and kneel down slowly."
Harry ignored Captain America's words, took out a rectangular object from his pocket, and threw it to the ground. The Avengers trembled, fearing that it was some kind of Chitauri bomb.
"It's just a holographic device, don't be so nervous, okay?"
The holographic projection shows a fully enclosed underground research facility. The scientists here have serious expressions. People scream from time to time in the dark corridors. It seems that some kind of human experiment is being conducted here.
"You know where this is, guess what will happen here in 20 seconds?"
Everyone obviously thought that Harry was using a hostage as a threat and was about to say something.
Tony was the only one who said nothing.
But Harry wasn't communicating with them—
"Do it!" Garrett shouted to Tony, but Tony remained unmoved and seemed to freeze.
Inside the Hydra base, a huge explosion sounded. A big hole was opened in the entire facility, and a huge Gatling gun barrel was stuffed in. The originally busy laboratory fell silent.
A man who looked like a commander came to his senses, and when he was about to organize a defense, more cracks were opened, and the Titans swaggered into the facility.
"This is the first one, there are more. Believe me, no one can save you. I will chop off as many heads as you have. Not only that, I will also show you what your false beliefs are. thing..."
Boom!
There's a sniper shooting outside the roof!
The bullet penetrated the wall behind Harry. Fortunately, he had a sixth sense and avoided the shot.
The Avengers were collectively stunned. All kinds of assassins in black appeared on the houses outside the store, and all kinds of weapons were aimed at this place—
Boom!
Just before they opened fire, a man with a big belly and a red helmet kicked the Black Widow away, grabbed the rocket launcher from her hand, and fired a shot at the Black Widow!
The huge explosion knocked him to pieces, but the super soldier's physique allowed him to stand up immediately and shout: "The Red Guardian is back!"
After shouting, he glanced at Natasha and Cap.
When Natasha saw this scene, the confusion on her face could be written into a book—this is her adoptive father Alexei Shostakov, a super soldier of the former Soviet Union!
Not only him, but also Barton and Captain America realized something was wrong. Where did these people come from? Why kill them? This is different from plan!
They looked at each other and finally realized something was wrong with Tony. The big iron pot stood motionless and did not express any doubts—speaking of it, he really said very little this time, unlike him.
Captain America shook him and said, "Tony?"
"S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Garrett took Pepper hostage and threatened him to deal with me—am I right?" Harry patted Tony on the shoulder.
Upon hearing this, the Avengers were all dumbfounded.
"Hey! What are you doing! There are too many of them... Damn!" As soon as Alexei finished speaking, the Winter Soldier jumped out from the corner and kicked him several meters away. "You're a super soldier too? That's great..."
Captain America immediately realized the problem. S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed to have failed to fulfill its promise—they had been fooled!
S.H.I.E.L.D. has a problem!
"Ahem, before taking action, I still have to ask, do you know who your opponent is?" Harry asked.
Captain America said nothing and rushed toward the Winter Soldier.
"Very good, Captain, I have no doubts. Natasha, you should be familiar with the equipment and the Women's Army. I don't need to explain it to you, right?"
Natasha glanced at Harry and ran towards Alexei without saying a word.
"Agent Barton... If you really don't understand the situation, you can sit here and drink coffee; Tony, I have located Ms. Potts's position—you can sit down if you want to take a rest. If you don't want to, please let's solve the problem with the anti-airdrop system."
Harry said, knocking on his suitcase.
Tony took a deep look at Harry and looked towards the sky, "It's up to you to bring her back—and, I'm sorry."
That's what he said, but Garrett's words echoed in his mind: "Say goodbye to your girlfriend."
"It's up to you," these three words meant that if this matter was not handled well, Harry would definitely stick to the pot.
Harry spread his hands helplessly, found a relatively intact chair, and sat down—now that the Avengers were all awake, he didn't need to do anything.
"I think you've considered this, right?" Zemo's voice rang through the communicator, referring to the fact that Pepper might be dead.
"Of course." After saying that, Harry looked at Barton. The agent didn't understand the situation yet. "Agent Barton, aren't you on the same team? Why are you still standing here?"
Barton opened his mouth but said nothing. He took a few deep breaths and rushed outside.
The battlefield fell into chaos, and the enemies who were supposed to assassinate Harry were blocked by the Avengers—these people had more or fewer problems with them.
Harry opened his handheld terminal and began to issue instructions to the H.A.M.M.E.R.
"Ross, I need you to use satellites to find S.H.I.E.L.D.'s aerospace carrier. They may attack the mainland."
The engines of the S.H.I.E.L.D. aerospace carrier are mainly aimed at the ground. If you look at it from a higher screen, you can see them.
But the problem is, this thing is too small on satellite images.
"Are you kidding me? Using satellites to find a target more than 100 meters around the world?" Ross asked.
"Have Dr. Banner talk to me."
Banner has been studying how to restore the Abomination to normal on H.A.M.M.E.R.'s aerial strategic platform. Tony did not contact him for this operation, and Hydra had no intention of doing so.
He knows a lot about artificial life projects.
There was a huge biological computer placed on the H.A.M.M.E.R. aerospace strategy platform. Harry originally wanted to go to the platform to start the thing in person, but now it seemed that he had to control it remotely.
Chapter 182: The Birth of A
The biocomputer was manufactured along with the air and space strategic platform, but only Harry knew that it was placed here.
The room where this biocomputer is located is not connected to the platform's power supply system, making it invisible to others.
Once the power supply was in place, Lenin would take over the control system, activate the biological computer, and complete the final stage of Butler A - the injection of the consciousness program.
Following Harry's instructions, Banner found a new element reactor on the ship and activated this independent control system.
The lights turned on, and various hormones, nutrient solutions, and electric currents were poured into the central facility - where a brain about the size of the Hulk was slowly being activated.
This brain was integrated with various transistors, injection tubes, and electronic devices, making it a semi-bioelectronic brain.
"This thing doesn't look very reassuring..." Banner said, getting closer to examine it carefully.
"Don't focus on it, doctor. We need to lock onto S.H.I.E.L.D.'s aerospace carrier. The birth process is about to begin. I need you to monitor it - if you have any suggestions, please voice them as soon as possible."
"I have - there's a patch here, it's been passed on." Tony's voice came through.
"Haha." Harry smiled and let T-Bone check the patch kit.
This patch package eliminated the backdoor installed by Stark himself. Butler A's program was jointly developed by them. With Tony's initiative to admit his mistake, T-Bone immediately found the backdoor.
"You put a backdoor into the AL program?" Banner said in disbelief, "What's your problem?"
Tony, embarrassed, cut off the communication and concentrated on dealing with the Black Widow Army in front of him.
There is a slight difference between AL and AI. AL's program is equivalent to human consciousness. Placing a backdoor in consciousness is like modifying human consciousness. This action showed that Tony still had not changed his mind. No wonder he developed a program that twisted machines meant to protect humans into murderous operations.
The guilt of betrayal made him want to make amends, which actually did Harry a favor by eliminating this hidden danger.
As data was poured into it, the brain began to metabolize rapidly. A large amount of nutrient solution was inhaled and metabolites were expelled, just like breathing.
"A, are you there?"
Through Lenin, Harry could directly communicate with it at a deep level. Through this layer of perception, Harry clearly felt that a life was being born.
Its entire consciousness resided in this 2.78m-high semi-biological electronic brain. It extended its body through control circuits, gradually taking over the entire aerospace strategic platform, and connecting to Osborne's network.
"I'm here, please wait, running an education session."
A is an artificial life, an intelligent life. Harry had prepared extensive human education programs for this purpose. In AL's eyes, these were not programs, but courses.
These courses could complete A's education in a few minutes, giving it the intelligence of an adult.
"Classes over, glad to be in this world, Mr. Osborn. When do we get to work?"
Harry checked his watch. Exactly 20 minutes had passed: "Of course, now - assist Ross in locking down S.H.I.E.L.D.'s aerospace aircraft carrier, and I will give you permission to use the red laser transmitter."
Hydra promised to give the Avengers 30 minutes to capture Harry, but these 30 minutes were not captured by themselves - Hydra and the Red Room only manipulated the political forces of great powers through conspiracy and trickery. Once the conspiracy was discovered, how could they possibly outplay Osborne?
The FSB surrounded the war zone on time. Armored vehicles and tanks encircled the area. Now it was impossible for them to retreat. Not all forces have the ability to fight against the army, not even these Black Widows!
The FSB agents didn't hold back and opened fire decisively as soon as the encirclement was formed - the only thing they needed to be cautious about was not hurting Osborne.
The battlefield gradually calmed down, and the FSB agents approached Harry.
Harry took a sip of the still hot coffee at hand, stood up, and patted his clothes: "Capture these Black Widows. They will have the information you want. I'll leave it to you to handle."
"It's our turn to handle it--"
Boom!
Three Titans fell from the sky, and the huge gun barrels caused everyone present to stop what they were doing - only the Winter Soldier and Captain America were still fighting passionately, so one Titan lowered the barrel and slapped the Winter Soldier, pinning him to the wall.
Osborn's Quinjet transport aircraft appeared in the sky. This tactical transport aircraft has a maximum load of 50 tons and is used to transport Titans over short distances.
"Don't think about saying harsh words to me, you should just think about wiping your butts." Harry waved his hand toward the Titan, "Bring everyone here except women."
"Wait a minute! What about Natasha?" Barton, who had been sitting here, finally reacted.
After all, Harry's words also included Natasha - what's more terrible is that Natasha is a wanted person in many countries, including her own homeland.
Although she is generally considered a superhero, she has done a lot as the Black Widow.
"Did you see that red fat man? He is a fool, but limited by the current situation, the Mauritian Congress will push him out to offset the political impact of the Red Room incident. Natasha happens to be his daughter. As long as they are not stupid, they will fine."
The feasibility of launching a superhero to guide public opinion and achieve political goals has been proven by Captain America.
Although Alexei looks like a clumsy furry bear, he is a real veteran. He was a decorated pilot before the serum was injected. He is also loyal and is very suitable for this job.
Not far away, Alexei was showing off his image arrogantly, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
It doesn't matter if he is stupid, Natasha still has a clever adoptive mother.
However, Barton had to think carefully about his whereabouts.
So the siege of Harry Osborn ended somewhat strangely.
The target was Harry, but in fact, they didn't even touch Harry's hair. All the work was done by the Avengers.
Captain America walked over with the half-dead Winter Soldier on his shoulders, his expression complicated.
"They told me you were experimenting on Bucky - I didn't realize they kidnapped Tony's assistant."
"Captain, there are many things you didn't expect, but I can tell you clearly that your behavior has violated the law. If you don't accept it, you can take him away. I'll let you run away for three days."
Steve's eyes drifted to the sky - he didn't like bureaucracy, but that didn't mean he liked breaking the law.
Especially in this matter, he was indeed deceived, but it was also true that it almost caused serious consequences.
So he put Bucky aside.
Harry regarded his behavior highly. In this case, he didn't have to worry about dealing with Steve.
"Very well, the next step is for us to deal with S.H.I.E.L.D. Get ready for action."
At this time, Tony flew back - it seemed that the anti-airdrop device was quite hidden.
"Where's Pepper?"
"You're onto the point, Tony."
If it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't have to go to this deep war zone.
Hearing this, Tony's heart skipped a beat - was the photo Garrett sent him real?
Chapter 183: The Rout of Hydra
"So, there's a real person inside these computers?" Curtis patted the computers vigorously.
On the old transistor monitor, Dr. Zola was a little confused.
He didn't know why a team of super soldiers suddenly blew up his bunker and was now photographing it like it was a zoo.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't be confused. The problem is that Curtis blew up half of his body when he exploded here, which greatly affected his thinking ability.
He really wanted to say that this is a scientific miracle in human history. Can you respect it?
"Hydra--interesting." Curtis laughed while filming, which made Zola's hair stand on end.
He didn't know what this man was laughing at. Logically speaking, shouldn't the outside world be under Hydra's reign of terror?
"What will happen if I dismantle part of the computer?" Curtis kicked part of the storage device open.
"Stop! What are you here for? S.H.I.E.L.D.? CIA? KGB? Can you..."
"If I turn off these fans, will you feel the heat?" Curtis didn't care what Zola said at all, and punched several cooling fans.
Now Zola was really scared.
He is stored in a bank of information, meaning he feels no pain.
But the destruction of these radiators and storage is equivalent to eating away at his consciousness, which will gradually turn him into a dementia patient - just like Alzheimer's disease!
He had always been proud of his brain, so he hated that feeling, even the fear!
And Curtis was not really filming for fun; this was an interrogation method, but the subject was Zola, a person whose consciousness was packed in an iron can.
Zola said angrily, "What do you want? I am a top scientist recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. through Project Paperclip! You can't do this to me--"
Boom!
Curtis punched another part of the memory, and now Zola felt that there was a problem with his computing power. This was more uncomfortable than killing him:
The intelligence he was proud of was being taken away bit by bit, but limited by the form of his existence, he could retain the logic and consciousness to perceive it all until he was completely destroyed.
Zola is actually not a tough guy, but living in a computer for these years has made him forget the fear of life, old age, illness, and death, so in the movie, he can die generously to delay Captain America.
But now he remembered: there are many things in the world that are scarier than death.
"Stop! What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything! Stop what you're doing!"
Curtis also felt a little strange while knocking: He was actually torturing a "cyborg"?
But this cyborg is Hydra, so he doesn't feel conflicted at all.
Besides, the psychology of defeating a Hydra is very satisfying.
"Nothing to do, just torture you. I heard that you would do the same thing during World War II." Curtis stopped what he was doing.
"Torture me? Do you know that your actions are likely to leave irreversible trauma on me? I am the first human being in the world to complete consciousness transmission! You actually do these things for this reason? Your boss will definitely..."
"It just so happens that this is what my boss asked me to do."
Now that Osborn has artificial life, he still cares about you as a "canner"?
After speaking, Curtis threw a holographic projection device in front of the camera, which displayed a scanned image of the Osborn satellite. Two aerospace carriers were moving over the United States.
This thing is intended to move to the firing point and deliver a devastating blow to the ground.
Two of the ships fired from within the United States, and the other from another continent.
"My boss sent me here to show you how fragile your weapons are."
Not only that, there are a total of 7 Hydra base locations in Zemo's hands, all of which have been occupied by Titan's crushing firepower. These Hydras can all see this scene.
By the time the incident is over, this scene will probably be viewed over and over again online.
The Insight Project has reached the point where it has to be launched. Even if the plan does not achieve the desired effect, this attack will plunge the world into greater chaos.
Graviton's defeat on the battlefield and Osborn's sudden attack on the Hydra base did not affect Pierce's mood at all.
Without the obstruction of Captain America and Fury's influence, he easily launched these aircraft carriers into the sky. Now he only needed to reach the position and fire the artillery, and the insight plan would be successful.
Before those Avengers could recover, it would already be too late.
Pierce took a graceful sip of red wine as if he was already a winner.
The aircraft carrier crossed the U.S. border. The next moment, a dazzling red laser fired from above, hitting the carrier like divine punishment.
The ultra-high temperature of the laser penetrated the deck in just tens of seconds and drilled deeper into the core--
Boom!
"We are under attack! From above! The energy has failed! Command, the mothership is out of control--"
The red wine glass in Pierce's hand fell to the ground. What was that!
Before he could think carefully, there was a violent knock on the door. This was the United Nations building. Who came knocking on his door?
"H.A.M.M.E.R.! Break the door!!"
Before he could react, the door to his office was kicked open - it was really kicked open and stuck on the glass with a bang.
These heavily armed agents have a red hammer painted on their armbands.
Kicking open the door, the agents quickly surrounded Pierce and then made way for those behind.
It's Norman.
"Long time no see, Mr. Pierce, I guess I don't need to explain why I'm here?" He couldn't wait to lead a team to arrest this pretentious guy.
"Osborn, do you think you won? Cut..."
"Yes, yes, yes, cut one off and another will grow. Then keep cutting until you dare not grow." Norman picked his ears. He could make up dozens of different sets on the spot.
Saying such empty cruel words when he is completely at a disadvantage shows that Pierce is really out of options.
"In my name, you are arrested, and you will be put in a very, very strong prison for the rest of your life, watching this so-called Hydra become my dessert on the table."
These words did not sound so righteous, and he realized then: Osborn did not intend to be a fighter for justice at all. He was a politician, and everything he did was for support.
This feeling made Pierce feel like Hydra was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered... He felt like he was losing to his peers.
Norman doesn't look like a fighter for justice at all. Killing Hydra will make his power more stable, that's all.
So he could only hang his head and be arrested by the agents, unable to say anything.
After everyone left, a man wearing an Osborn uniform and a peaked cap walked into the building where Nick Fury once had his office.
Aiden is carrying out the task assigned to him by Harry - to recover S.H.I.E.L.D.
-------------------
Chapter 184: The Winter Soldier
When Tony asked about Pepper's whereabouts, she was actually dead.
She was shot in the brain and died on the spot.
Harry could feel Tony's emotions – Garrett should have sent that picture to Tony. He wasn't in the best shape right now.
"She's alive," Harry said.
But Tony still stared at Harry unblinkingly.
"She's still alive. It's as simple as that. Do you want to continue to believe what Garrett said or what I said?"
After saying this, Tony was silent, but he probably wouldn't be motivated until seeing Pepper himself.
Harry was actually holding back his anger, but it didn't make sense now. He had done so much to develop better, let alone to vent his anger on Tony.
"Captain, it's time to deal with S.H.I.E.L.D. I need you to issue a statement to tell the remaining agents the current situation - one more thing, where is Fury?"
"He's dead. Just last week, Pierce said he was killed by your people." Captain America glanced at Tony, "And Tony said the same thing."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the communicator.
"Well done, Captain, and Osborne – I was careless."
To be honest, Harry was a little disappointed with Fury – he had already told him that Pierce had a problem, but he still fell for that guy's trick and was attacked unexpectedly.
"I'm disappointed, Agent, so where are you now?" Harry didn't hide his disappointment at all.
"I was hiding – Pierce attacked me inside S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D. is theirs."
"I thought you should have been prepared for this long ago – what happened to you?" Harry had already revealed Pierce's identity to Fury, and he thought that was enough.
Unexpectedly, this bastard's feelings for S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed to affect his little brain – he was actually attacked inside S.H.I.E.L.D.!
"We want to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D." Fury said seriously.
But it seems that this at least deepened his understanding. After all, it was the captain who originally said this, and the persuasion step was omitted this time.
"It's good to have this awareness – the United Nations Building has been surrounded. You may still be able to meet Pierce in the past. This should be the last time he wears formal clothes for the rest of his life."
"I'd love to see this, but we still have three helicarriers to deal with, and they're—"
Harry tapped the terminal and the data was transmitted.
"One of them is in the Pacific, one is in the Atlantic – I mean in the sea, and one is about to 'enter' the Indian Ocean."
The last aerospace carrier's firing point was in Asia. Because Tianmai only had one aerospace strategic platform, this carrier had to find reinforcements to deal with it.
It just so happens that Thor is still on Earth – S.H.I.E.L.D. can't find Thor, but Harry can. After all, he was the one who left Thor behind.
Fury was silent as he looked at the three space carriers sinking into the sea.
"Okay – I'm going to the United Nations Building now and destroying S.H.I.E.L.D."
Fury cut off the communication. This one-eyed black baldie would not destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. If Harry guessed correctly, he was going to get his own S.H.I.E.L.D. black box and then hand it over to the next director.
But that thing has now been obtained by Aiden. Although this security chief has stopped doing this kind of secret digging business for a long time, he still has a good sword.
The communication ended and Harry looked at Tony and Steve.
Since there is no need for the captain to give a speech now, I just happen to help them with one thing – and also complete a system task.
"You want to know what your good brother has done in the past few years, right? I will help him remove his brainwashing now, but the method will be more radical."
.....
Looking at his good brother lying in the virtual reality cabin, Steve couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
"The neural connection warehouse, I will now enter his brain through scientific means." Harry said while correcting the data.
"Brain-computer connection? I didn't expect you to actually achieve it, but why do you want me to come with you?" Tony just wanted to return home as soon as possible to confirm Pepper's condition.
Harry said nothing – because this matter was also important to Tony.
The screen showed the Winter Soldier in virtual reality.
By stimulating the hippocampus to mobilize memories, this technology is already on the verge of being taboo from an ethical perspective.
But for someone with a severely damaged sense of self like the Winter Soldier, this is the quickest way to get results.
In the memory, Barnes fell from the train during the last mission. Steve always thought he was dead, but in fact, he was picked up by Hydra.
Hydra amputated his necrotic left hand, replaced him with a bionic metal arm, and trained him into a ruthless Winter Soldier through brainwashing and training.
As a true biological weapon, he performed his mission without hesitation, killing Hydra's enemies one after another. In a sense, he was Hydra's "Captain America."
Until 1991, he performed a special mission.
Howard Stark used the collected research data and Captain America's blood to create a super soldier serum sample. This news was learned by Hydra, which intercepted and killed the Stark couple on their way to S.H.I.E.L.D.
In the picture, the gray-haired Howard Stark sounded shocked when he saw Barnes, but Barnes didn't react at all. He beat Howard to death with his robotic arm, like dragging a dead dog. He put it back in the car and then strangled Maria to death.
Steve looked quite shocked at this time – he didn't know what to say.
What is different from the original work is that he now knows about this for the first time!
He looked at Tony. Tony's breathing had become quite heavy, and his eyes were fixed on the picture on the screen.
Boom!
Steve grabbed Tony's hand – Tony wanted to smash the virtual reality warehouse and make the Winter Soldier pay for it!
"Tony, he didn't do this, it was Hydra that controlled him!" Steve's tone even trembled, "Howard is also my friend, and I am very..."
"Shut up! He killed my parents!"
Seeing Tony's repulsion cannon start to charge, Harry spoke: "Pepper will wake up soon, and she will probably want to see you as soon as possible. Are you sure you want to do this now?"
Tony looked over. These words undoubtedly diluted his anger, and a variety of strange emotions spread in his mind.
Too many things happened during this period – first, he was deceived, then he was blackmailed by Hydra, stabbed his partner in the back, then he saw the scene of Pepper's death, and now he found the enemy who killed his father.
But now, Harry told him that Pepper was awake? He always thought it was just a lie – so that he could focus on the battlefield.
"She's awake?" Tony murmured in a daze.
"Dr. Connors is taking care of her right here at Osborne Stronghold in New York." Harry said, revealing Pepper's current appearance. It was obvious that the resurrected Pepper was quite overwhelmed.
Tony looked at the people here again and walked towards the outside of the plane.
Before leaving, he glanced at Harry:
"Thank you."
---
Chapter 185: The Dionysus Plan
"Thank you."
Harry, alongside Tony, received a heartfelt thanks from Steve.
"You're welcome, but honestly, it saddens me. You'd rather believe SHIELD to catch me first than talk to me directly."
Captain America wanted to explain that because the situation involved Hydra, there was no room for error. If they had caught the wrong person, they would help Harry clear his name.
But the real issue was that SHIELD itself was Hydra. Hydra didn't want to interrogate Harry; they wanted him dead.
He remained silent.
Harry also felt Tony had been coerced, but he noted that Steve and the Avengers didn't regard him as a comrade from the Battle of New York, let alone a friend.
"You're like a little clique, Captain," Harry sighed.
His words were somewhat sarcastic, but Steve could only bear it in silence.
Steve thought Osborne wasn't exactly a small group either. But before he could say anything, Harry continued as if reading his mind: "Osborne is a large organization with diverse departments—scientific research, production, combat, literary and artistic creation... Legally, Osborne is mine, but I never think Osborne reached its current status solely because of me."
The Avengers are a few superheroes standing together to save the world, essentially deciding its direction. While Osborne is similar, ordinary people have made contributions too, whether through a certain transmission device on the Titan or a safety seat design on a specific fighter jet.
"...What are you going to do with Bucky?" Steve decided to change the topic.
"Abide by the law—the suspect was in an abnormal state of mind when he committed the crime, so theoretically, he can be found innocent."
Harry wasn't particularly interested in the Winter Soldier. The people the Winter Soldier had killed had no relation to him. He wouldn't interfere much in this regard. As for Tony, he would let him decide what to do when he calmed down.
Steve quietly breathed a sigh of relief, a small movement that Harry noticed.
"But Captain, do you think the victims' families will easily accept this? He must earn their forgiveness through his own efforts."
"I'll go with him," Steve said decisively.
That's for the best, Harry thought.
Impulsiveness can be seen as either a commendable or derogatory trait for the general public, helping to dispel the over-deification of Captain America's title.
"Captain, you know what? You are not perfect," Harry said suddenly.
Steve was stunned for a moment. Of course, he knew he wasn't perfect.
"What do you want to say?"
"But some people think you are perfect. They see you as a savior sent by God, flawless and representing absolute justice," Harry explained.
Steve frowned. Even he didn't agree with this statement.
"But I've never presented myself like that..."
"That's the problem. I want you to write about your experiences. People need a role model, not a god-like figure."
Deifying a person leads to many problems. For example, people in Brooklyn might take pride in Captain America living there, but this pride could turn into a sense of superiority, leading to comments like "Brooklyn people are better than Harlem people."
In fact, the Ku Klux Klan once used Captain America as propaganda to promote racism: "Why can't black people become Captain America? Because they are black."
Steve thought for a moment and understood what Harry meant. He readily agreed.
"Very well, let's leave it here for now. I'll contact you after dealing with Hydra."
Harry opened the virtual reality chamber to release the Winter Soldier.
Barnes lay in the virtual cabin like Sleeping Beauty. Steve looked at his old friend with a complicated expression.
"I used virtual reality to disrupt the control mechanism, but he should still respond to certain words. I'll find a psychotherapy team to give him desensitization treatment. You can take him back now."
Steve nodded and carried Barnes to the plane door.
Suddenly, he stopped.
"Wait a minute, how are we going to get back?"
He had arrived on a SHIELD transport plane, and Steve wasn't Tony; he couldn't just carry Barnes and run back to the USA.
Now that SHIELD had collapsed, he was a lone centenarian...
"Uh...I forgot about that. Just contact Ross, and he'll help you arrange it."
The U.S. Secretary of State arranging Captain America's return to the country seemed very reasonable.
As for himself, Harry still wanted to find the "Winter Soldier's Tomb" from Barnes' memory.
...
Hydra had built a secret base in Siberia to monitor the Soviet Union's super-soldier program, which the Soviet Union had halted for various reasons.
The base had then become Hydra's super-soldier research center.
After Barnes seized the serum sample, they had completed the injection there. However, the resulting soldiers had serious flaws, forcing Hydra to seal the facility.
Searching through Barnes' memory, Harry found this place.
"I thought you'd go back to deal with the matter in Sokovia," Harry glanced at Zemo beside him.
"I'm curious about this place. What are you going to do with these Winter Soldiers?" Zemo asked.
"Capture and study, as always."
"Don't you think super-soldiers shouldn't exist in this world?" Zemo questioned.
"That depends on how you define 'super-soldiers.' Where are they super?"
Zemo listed numerous reasons: superhuman strength, agility, memory, thinking ability, etc., making it easier for them to achieve their goals. Being stronger than ordinary people allowed them to easily get what they wanted, hurt others, dominate, etc.
"Really? But creating a super-soldier only requires a small dose of serum, which isn't difficult. The problem isn't the super-soldiers; it's that there are so few of them. Their scarcity and the admiration of ordinary people created the title of 'Captain America,' not the serum."
Zemo stopped and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I want everyone to be 'superhuman' so there will be no more superhumans."
"Are you crazy? How can you guarantee that they won't become uncontrollable due to sudden enhancement?" Zemo exclaimed, staring at Harry in disbelief.
"So this is the task I intend to give you—I have always aimed to enhance humanity worldwide, but it needs to be done in a controlled environment. I call this plan the 'Dionysus Plan.'"
Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry, has a dual nature. He can bring joy and intoxication but is also cruel and irritable.
Global human enhancement technology is like him and his wine, a potential source of joy that must be controlled.
"This..." Zemo took two steps back.
"If everyone is more than human, there will be no superhumans. Do you want to join?"
------------------------------------------------
Chapter 186: Evolutionary Design Engineering
"Superhuman" comes from comparison. Only those who surpass most humans are called superhumans.
Because they are superior to ordinary people, they can get what they want more easily and hurt others more easily, so they are worshiped by ordinary people, and eventually this worship evolves into supremacy.
And if everyone is brought to the same level, there will naturally be no more superhuman beings, just like the society before Captain America was born.
"But...what good will this do to you?"
"Of course there is. From a human perspective, this enhancement is equivalent to human evolution - humans gave up the specialization of the body in exchange for a smarter brain. Now it is the brain's turn to drive the evolution of the body. It's that simple."
Harry spread his hands.
Again, he will not hire monkeys as employees. When humans become smarter, they will naturally be able to produce much more.
Apart from anything else, work that takes 10 years to complete may be completed in one year, with higher quality, and all walks of life in society will develop.
"Aren't you worried that your status will be affected?"
Zemo asked a question that Harry felt lowered his authority.
Aren't humans still humans after they have evolved? Social relations lie here. From beginning to end, there is only one kind of "superhuman" in society, and "Captain America" is just a title created by chance.
"Lord Baron, Sokovia has changed from a kingdom to a parliamentary country. Aren't you still a baron?"
Zemo was moved by these words, and after figuring out the problem, he laughed.
"You...you are really the boldest person I have ever met, but I like it and I will join."
Harry patted Zemo on the shoulder and walked towards the frozen fortress.
There are no surprises waiting for you here, only the sleeping Winter Soldiers.
Although so many years have passed, the facilities here can still be used. Harry only needs to power up the place - he has always had the habit of carrying new element reactors with him.
Lenin flooded into the power grid and the facility lit up again. As Harry expected, he only scanned two super soldiers with similar technology. These Winter Soldiers could continue to contribute to his mission progress.
[Mission: Bloodline Completed]
[Rewards: Epigenetics; Gene Tailoring Technology; Evolutionary Design Engineering]
[Based on the completion status, the host has obtained the following primary trait improvement technologies]
[Strong: Enhance the species' physical strength by about 50%.
Rapid recovery: Enhance species cell regeneration ability by approximately 100%.
Lifespan Increase: Increases species lifespan by 10-15 years.
Memory enhancement: Enhance species memory by 60%
Thinking enhancement: Optimize the operating efficiency of the biological brain and enhance logical computing capabilities by 60%
Micro-Psychic Organ: The species grows a new organ that makes it easier for the individual to develop psychic abilities.]
The system rewards this time are very impressive, giving Harry the technology he needs most. Based on this set of technology, he can change human genes at will.
As we all know, gene tailoring generally requires the use of appropriate enzymes to remove the specified gene sequence. This technology gave Harry more gene tailoring tools, allowing him to tailor it almost at will.
Now universal strengthening is no longer a dream - at least there is no longer a bottleneck at the technical level.
"Ross, go to this coordinate to recover the experimental samples."
.....
"Harry Osborn, chairman of the Osborn Group, was attacked in St. Petersburg a few days ago. It is reported that the planners of the attack were S.H.I.E.L.D. and the terrorist organization Red Room."
"The Avengers also participated in the attack. It is reported that they all launched the attack under the cooperation of 'Hydra', or in other words - S.H.I.E.L.D. is an organization controlled by Hydra."
"President Osborn has mastered the terrorist elements that Hydra has planted around the world through SHIELD, and will arrest and focus them on trials."
"Among them, Natasha Romanoff, also known as the Avengers Black Widow, is undergoing a joint trial between the two countries due to her numerous double-agent activities."
"Agent Romanoff, do you admit that you have committed the acts described in this document?"
This trial was held in Russia, and the Black Widow did a lot of bad things while working in the Red Room.
However, because the relations between various countries are now much smoother, American officials have once again achieved an absolute leading position, and Ross is also ranked here.
"I admit it." Natasha couldn't argue. "But my mind was under control at the time, and I was not carrying out these actions with free will."
"Very good, your admission is a good start - but Agent, according to this information, you were in a sober state after serving in SHIELD. How do you explain the infiltration activities you carried out during this period?"
Fortunately, America and SHIELD cut off early, otherwise the whole world would now have to shoulder half of the responsibility for this matter on the American authorities.
It's strange to say that Natasha is a standard multi-faceted spy and agent, but in the end, she became a superhero and an Avenger.
This will teach bad things to children.
Natasha took a deep breath and said:
"You're not going to put me in jail, you're not going to put any of us in jail, you know why?
Because you need us.
Yes, the world is a fragile place, and yes, we have a responsibility, but we are also the ones best able to protect it..."
Natasha said the lines from the Captain America 2 movie, but this time she wasn't so convincing.
"Cyka! Agent! You take yourself too seriously!" Congressman Russia cursed on the spot.
The biggest victim of the Red Room is not the United States, but Russia. This organization creates divisions here and drains development potential. The beneficiaries are not "ordinary Russians" like them.
Not only that, the hometown of the Red Room is still a mystery. With such a terrorist organization in the country, who can rest assured?
Ross also sighed on the sidelines - to be honest, without Osborn's technical support, the authorities would still be mixed up with SHIELD, and he really couldn't refute this.
But the American authorities and the Russian government are the most reluctant to listen to this - you are just an agent of Hydra, how can you have the shame to say this?
Besides, they are now carrying out assassination operations in other countries, threatening the relationship between the two countries and helping Hydra!
The hearing fell into silence. The FSB director took a sip of water and continued the topic:
"But it's true you're not going to be in jail.
In view of your special talents, we will forcefully recruit you to assist Red Guardian Alexei Shostakov in destroying the Red Room forces."
Natasha was stunned when she heard this. A fat man wearing a red retro combat uniform walked out of the crowd. The fat man waved excitedly to others.
Although Fatty is a little funny, it is undeniable that his contribution to this country is much greater than that of Natasha.
"Little Nata, although you have made so many mistakes, I am still proud of you. Be happy, father is here to pick you up."
Alexei asked Natasha and said to her while waving to the crowd.
The Black Widow in his arms now wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Chapter 187: Arrest
The high-level battle is over, and the lower-level S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are confused.
I am a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, but now S.H.I.E.L.D. is HYDRA, and my leader is also HYDRA. I am the only one who thinks I am not HYDRA, so am I a HYDRA?
Such doubts fill their hearts. They feel that they are not HYDRA, but everyone outside is saying that they are HYDRA. Some people even find that their whole team is not HYDRA...
The same goes for Coulson's team - their situation is much worse now than in the original.
Coulson and Agent May were transferred away for a special mission a week ago and never came back. Then the S.H.I.E.L.D. bases lost contact, and there was only one sentence on the communication channel: "Out of the haze, exposed to the sun."
Without the lead agent and contact with S.H.I.E.L.D., there were only four people on the plane: Skye, Agent Ward, and two researchers, Simmons and Fitz.
However, except for Agent Ward, the remaining three people have no fighting ability. Coincidentally, this agent who can fight is also HYDRA.
But now he is also confused - just today, the TV station released a list of arrested S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, including Garrett - his immediate boss!
According to reports broadcast by war reporters, the U.S. military and H.A.M.M.E.R. deployed an entire division of troops toward the HUB base, as well as a variety of super soldiers and Titans. The solid buildings were in front of the hunter-killer cannons and plasma railguns. It's like papier-mâché.
They captured these places with ease, even failing to activate S.H.I.E.L.D.'s self-destruct program.
Ward and the other agents couldn't believe it - first of all, the location of the HUB was top secret. As the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., it contained all confidential information. It was the place where S.H.I.E.L.D. designated strategies and issued orders.
Secondly, the HUB has the most advanced technology and equipment of S.H.I.E.L.D., so why did it stop working all of a sudden?
Simmons and Fitz couldn't believe that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters had become HYDRA's lair, and Ward couldn't believe that HYDRA was so fragile--the headquarters fell in just 3 hours.
The plane is now parked at the Bavaria Airport. The team members are in a very low mood and are completely at a loss.
"...Are we just going to sit here like this? If there's nothing we can do, I can..." Midway through Skye's words, the other three people all glared at her.
She wanted to say that she could contact Osborn, but obviously no one wanted to contact Osborn now.
She had just died once and was revived by everyone's rescue. Since no one wanted to contact Osborn, she would not contact him rashly.
"Okay, then we have to find Coulson and find out what's going on," Skye said.
Everyone looked at her again: Looking for? Where to find him? S.H.I.E.L.D.'s territory such as Tri-Wing, HUB, Sandbox, and Refrigerator are all occupied.
The United States has not been at war for a long time, and it is just waiting to raid the home of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Someone is approaching." Fitz noticed the red dot on the detection radar and patted Ward on the shoulder.
"People inside, you are under arrest - open the hatch now."
Outside, heavily armed American soldiers surrounded the place. These were soldiers with live ammunition, and it was obviously not something that Skye could contend with.
However, several people are still struggling with how to deal with it and whether they need to surrender.
Ward, who lost his superior officer, seemed a little confused - this was also the flaw of a HYDRA agent like him. Long-term obedience would make people lose their subjective initiative. Once their immediate boss disappeared, they would have no goals.
The aircraft door was still closed. Seeing this, the leading officer made a strange gesture to the soldiers.
"I know you are divided into levels, so some of you should know what to do in this situation. All the time, kids."
After hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then fell into confusion. Only Ward seemed to have been pressed a switch. His hands stopped shaking, his eyes became firm, and he looked at several people.
...
