Chapter 247: The Truth

Luke walked into the building alone. The building is full of stickers from the 60s of the last century.

The old lighting was manually turned on by Luke. The surroundings immediately lit up. I saw that there was dust everywhere around. Obviously, no one has been here for a long time.

As soon as he entered, he saw a large S.H.I.E.L.D. eagle-shaped insignia hanging in the most conspicuous place on the opposite wall.

"This is supposed to be a secret facility in the former part of S.H.I.E.L.D., which has long been abandoned." Luke looked around as he walked.

When he came to a corridor, he found portraits of several people hanging on one wall.

He knew two of them.

One of them is Tony's father, Howard Stark. The other is Peggy Squareface Carter, an old lover of Team America.

Both men are the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Luke descended from the cockpit, wearing the Spider II Warframe, and the Air Combat Mech Tempest was stopped in place by him.

"Assistant, turn on the mecha scanning, there should be a secret door near here." Luke commanded.

In the dark, several green lasers swept out of the wind and quickly scanned the surrounding walls, making an immediate spot.

Standing in front of a large shelf, Luke easily moved the shelf away, revealing an elevator door that had been artificially hidden.

The code door was unlocked by Christina in a moment, and the elevator door opened, and Luke stood up without hesitation.

The elevator begins to sink, carrying Luke into the underground facility.

After a few seconds, the elevator doors reopened. At the same time that Luke walked out, the lights in this room turned on automatically.

I saw that the space was very large, and there were several rows of huge computer arrays in the room, all running quietly. It's all antiques from the last century, the kind of equipment from old-fashioned movies.

This is Dr. Zola's hideout. Luke said.

He walked straight to the console.

At this moment, a small TV screen on the console suddenly lit up, and the green pixels quickly formed a blurry abstract human face.

At the same time, a hoarse voice sounded in the speaker next to him.

Luke Nelson, born in 2002. Or, should I call you an apostle? ”

Luke didn't look surprised when he heard this.

He snorted and said, "Alright, don't be foolish, I know who you are, Dr. Zola." ”

"You know me?"

Dr. Zola's expression on the screen changed slightly. His voice was slightly surprised, "You're more tricky than I expected. That said, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Anim Zola. During World War II, I worked for the Red Skull. Now, tell me what you mean. ”

"I heard you got yourself into the computer." Luke looked down curiously at the pile of antique equipment in front of him, "I'm here to visit." ”

"It's a great feat of human science." Dr. Zola's voice was filled with pride, "In 1972, I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Science can't save my body, but my mind must be preserved. So there are two million units in the database. ”

"Oh." Luke had a mediocre response.

"You don't wonder why I'm here?"

Dr. Zola felt something strange. Because Luke reacted too calmly. Normal people should be surprised to hear him say this. Dr. Zola also knew that the little kid in front of him was no ordinary person.

"Why?" Luke asked casually, curiously pressing around on the counter.

"After World War II, S.H.I.E.L.D. recruited us German scientists, and by the way, I'm Swiss," Dr. Zola said. S.H.I.E.L.D. thinks we have strategic value, and they feel I can help them achieve their goals. But they didn't know that I had achieved my goal. ”

Dr. Zola may have been lonely for too long, and after becoming data, he has spent more than a century here, and no one can speak. And Luke was the first to walk in.

"So, you're actually the one who secretly supports Hydra, right?" Luke's gaze finally turned to Zora on the screen.

"I must admit, you are very smart, Luke Nelson. Cutting off one head will make two new ones, which is exactly the philosophy of Hydra since its creation. But S.H.I.E.L.D. never understood this. ”

Dr. Zola sneered, "Even if you don't say it, I know why you're here, Project Insight." Nick Fury doesn't tell you everything. He's trying to get rid of me with your hand. But are you willing to be his lackey? Apostle. ”

The screen changed, and images were displayed quickly. When Luke saw it, it was all about the apostles' deeds up to this point.

On another screen next to him, Zola's face made of data appeared: "I've been watching you, and the Insight Program has been analyzing you." ”

Luke looked at the images thoughtfully; "What are you planning? Like a ghost, lurking here for so many years, I think you're not just observing. ”

Dr. Zola said proudly, "That's right. Hydra was founded on the belief that humans have no control over their own freedom. But we didn't realize that if they wanted to take away their freedom, they would resist. ”

The screen changed, and images from the Second World War era began to be displayed quickly. It also includes footage of Captain America leading his squad to fight Hydra.

"War has taught us a lot: human beings need to voluntarily give up their freedom." Dr. Zola said, "After the war, S.H.I.E.L.D. was formed, and I was recruited, and a new Hydra was born. Like a beautiful parasite in S.H.I.E.L.D. That's right, it's me. ”

Luke's expression moved, as if he had figured something out.

A picture of the conspiracy of the Hydra slowly unfolded before his eyes.

"For seventy years, Hydra has been fanning crises behind the scenes, sparking wars. The U.S.-Russia Cold War, the Korean War, the Economic Crisis, the JFK Assassination, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Kosovo War, the 911 terrorist attacks, ......"

As Dr. Zola spoke, a number of different video recordings flashed across the screen. It's like a flashback of history, it's all about the big events that have happened in the last few decades. It can be seen that the manipulation of the world by Hydra is far beyond people's imagination.

"Whenever history doesn't turn out to be what we expected, Hydra changes history." Dr. Zola sneered, "While there are always attempts to thwart, 'accidents' are always inevitable. I think you've seen my pet, and I call him: The Winter Soldier. ”

Another newspaper appeared on the screen, a piece of news that read: Mr. and Mrs. Stark were killed in a car accident.

Luke knew that Howard Stark had been assassinated by Bucky.

Now it seems that Bucky is actually directly following the orders of Dr. Zola.

Dr. Zola is the big boss. The treacherous and cunning Dr. Zola, who is not inferior to Christina, has been able to determine from his current performance that Dr. Zola has a complete personality. It's hard to define whether he's a human or an AI now.

The entire modern Hydra is driven by Dr. Zola behind the scenes.
