Chapter 7: Long Live the Hydra

Belle and Wanda arrived near the warehouse as planned.

Despite her fears, and despite the fact that she had scolded Peter ten thousand times in her heart, Belle finally chose to believe Peter, and waited for Peter's news near the warehouse, as he had sent in the message.

"When he comes back, I'll tear him down with my own hands."

"You may have to get used to this, if he wants to join the Avengers, he will have to face a much more dangerous situation than this." Wanda hugged Belle and patted her gently, "I have to say he's amazing, he thinks he's a real fighter. ”

"In the afternoon you said he was a baby."

"So you're going to offer to be a free babysitter for him?"

"As long as it's free, he shouldn't have a problem."

The two of them chatted for a while, and did not carry out any substantive investigation work. The reason is simple, neither of them can do it.

Spider-Man relies on his agility and excellent reflexes to successfully enter the warehouse and take a turn, which Belle and Wanda obviously can't do. If you want to check the cameras, mines, automatic weapons, etc. around the warehouse, it will inevitably alarm the people who set up these devices in the first place, and it will not be reconnaissance, but clearance. Considering that there are only two people here, Wanda and Belle, it is more appropriate to kill than to clean up.

Soon, though, they'll have to do something more deadly than clearing the warehouse.

"Belle, am I right? Is that a military car? Wanda said, pointing to a team of trucks and armored vehicles that were driving into the warehouse.

"How so? Isn't this a place to trade in illegal extraterrestrial weapons? Could it be that the information is wrong? ”

Belle was silently calculating in her heart. If this place is actually a secret military facility, then all the exaggerated security measures around it make sense. But she didn't feel that she was getting a fake piece of information, after all, the source of the information was not interrogation, but eavesdropping, eavesdropping with superpowers.

Assuming that the intelligence is true and that this warehouse belongs to the military, there are two possible scenarios. The first, of course, is the best, and that is that the military is deliberately fishing, using alien weapons as bait to lure out potentially dangerous criminals.

Belle especially hoped that this was the case, that everything they had done before was in vain. But she and Peter saw the alien weapons flow into the hands of criminals and pose a very serious threat, so she had to consider another possibility, there was a problem within the US military.

Belle gives Wanda her reasoning, and she is relieved even though the latter says her idea is crazy. This can be regarded as the welfare of the traverser, in the face of crisis, she knows who can be trusted.

"Listen, Wanda, if I'm right, then Peter is in a very dangerous situation right now."

"And what do you want to do?"

"At first, Tony gave the matter to Peter and me, and I guessed he was testing Peter's ability to be one of the Avengers. But as things stand, it's a lot more complicated than I thought. If it's really a problem within the U.S. military, then Tony may also be being watched. That's why he found Peter and me, because neither of us were Avengers of record. ”

"I understand, investigating your affairs is another task, and everything I saw today can be kept secret for the time being."

"That's what I'm trying to say. Ah, and," Belle thought for a moment, thinking that she still had to rely on Wanda's power, "Although Iron Man himself can't be involved, it's still okay to borrow some of his resources, can you ask him to help track Peter's phone?" ”

"This should be fine."

"Peter's previous message said that he had followed a group of people who were experimenting with alien weapons, and that the weapons could connect to satellites, which is not something that a mob gang can do. I'm inclined to believe that the people Peter saw must have something to do with the people in the warehouse, and I'm going to go in and have a look. ”

"Don't be stupid, it's a team of well-trained American soldiers, and unknown alien weapons! Are you crazy? ”

"Our spiritual link hasn't been broken yet, do you think I'm crazy?"

Wanda didn't speak, just took out her phone and sent Peter's phone number.

"Stay connected, I'll let you know what happens." Belle stood up, to be precise, floating, her feet two centimeters off the ground.

She walked slowly towards the warehouse, ignoring all the patrols she encountered along the way. Since she remained afloat, none of the mines would be triggered, the automatic weapons did not react, and apparently the surveillance cameras did not see her.

Wanda, who was hiding in the distance, couldn't see Belle anymore, and if it weren't for the state of mental connection between the two, she almost decided that Belle didn't exist at all.

"People always need a little motivation." Wanda said, "I was so scared to death before, but when I found out that your little boyfriend was in danger, I immediately fought for it." Isn't that amazing? ”

"Hey, although I'm not very famous, I'm a model anyway, don't just make me a scandal." Belle's voice came straight through Wanda's head.

……

The sheer pressure coupled with the fear for Peter's safety seems to have greatly stimulated Belle's potential. For the first time, she used the ability to almost interfere with reality, not a blindfold, not an illusion imposed on others, not even a substance, but directly affecting the whole reality, which seemed to ignore her existence.

She was careful to maintain this ability, so she had to walk slowly like a snail crawling. She made her way through the outer wall of the warehouse, found a relatively secluded part that was close enough to the key area, and stopped, adjusting her breathing, trying not to scream in fear.

These people seem to be very unscrupulous. According to Belle's idea, if you want to do something that is not on the table, it is always wrong to keep a low profile. But these people not only directly wear military uniforms, drive military vehicles, and even call them "generals", "lieutenants" and the like, and do not shy away from their military status.

At the moment, the general, known as McConville, was furious, cursing foul words like "damn it", "dog mongrel", etc. He also had a YouTube video of Spider-Man playing on his computer. It was his men who had come to show him, and these subordinates stood aside, silent and silent.

"Spider-Man? Just this little brat? Are you all thinking of me as brain-dead? ”

An officer said tremblingly: "General, those who were arrested said that it was a person who called himself Spider-Man who captured them, and he was wearing the same clothes and mask as in the video, so I couldn't see his face." ”

Peter was wearing everyday clothes that day, not to mention a mask. The robbers would say that, naturally because Belle had altered their memories so that they had forgotten what Peter looked like.

Another officer also stepped forward, "According to the police who later arrested the people, our people were indeed tied up by something similar to spider silk. However, the thing decomposed and disappeared after a few hours, and no sample was kept. ”

"Fart!" General McConville roared again, "What our people! Those people are just a bunch of robbers and have nothing to do with us! And the New York Police Department's bunch of garbage, they can't even keep any physical evidence, and they don't want to think about why when things disappear! Look around the world, who else can make such a thing except the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D.? ”

All the officers were silenced by the roar of the general. Only a man in a suit who looked inconspicuous standing next to him coughed lightly, walked up to the general, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Because of Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D. has almost collapsed, and although it is being rebuilt, it is still too busy to take care of itself." The Avengers are also under tremendous pressure from public opinion because of the Sokovia incident. Friends in Congress told me that governments want to impose restrictions on them, and the secretary of state is taking matters into his own hands. I don't believe either side has the energy or manpower to get involved in bank robberies and stuff like that. ”

This analysis makes sense, but the general is not convinced. He grabbed the man in the suit by the collar and pressed him against a concrete pillar.

"You still have the face to mention the hydra? You're done. S.H.I.E.L.D. is still there, but you're done! All I want now is to get my weapons back and destroy all this, so that I don't get into trouble again. ”

"It's not you, it's us, General," the man in the suit effortlessly broke the general's hand and easily restrained the strong soldier, "Don't forget, you were once loyal to Hydra as well. These alien weapons, and the robbers as you call them, are our hope for the future. Of course, there are some little bugs that have made us ugly, and I've sent someone to deal with them. I promise it won't happen again. ”

Belle listened as she listened, her heart pounding wildly and her blood pressure soaring.

These few sentences are too informative, but I didn't expect that it was Hydra who used Kitari technology to make weapons! It was with the help of internal forces in the military that he got the alien weapons that were recovered in New York that year. And it sounds like there must be people from within Congress as well. But it's not surprising, even the top of S.H.I.E.L.D. are Hydra people, how difficult it can be to install a few members of Congress.

The strange power of the man in the suit also caught Belle's attention. Facing General McConville, who is 1.9 meters tall and his arms thicker than Belle's waist, and can play the role of a terminator, the man in the suit who is only 1.7 meters tall shows overwhelming strength.

"No, is it a desperate virus?"

She saw the hand of the man in the suit, the magma-like red light and dark red lines, high enough to scorch the temperature of General McConville's sleeve, which was obviously the desperate virus shown in "Iron Man 3". Didn't that mad scientist who was jealous of Tony make this thing? How can Hydra have it too?

"You, who are you?" General McConville said in horror that he was also choked by the strength of the man in the suit. His officers also quickly pulled out their guns and pointed them at the man in the suit, ready to shoot at any time.

The man in the suit said lightly, "Guys, put away all the guns, those won't hurt me at all." ”

"Let go, you bastard!" An impulsive officer roared, aimed at the man in the suit and fired a shot into the general's right arm. His marksmanship was so superb that the bullet cut a hole in the arm of the man in the suit.

Not a drop of blood.

The man in the suit grabbed his left hand on his right shoulder and tore off the entire sleeve. Now everyone saw his strange arm, the skin around the bullet hole flowing like lava, and it didn't take a few seconds to repair the damage caused by the bullet.

"I told you, guns don't work for me." The man in the suit let go of the general, walked up to the officer who fired the gun with a smile on his face, and suddenly burst into a roundabout kick that directly exploded the officer's head.

"Long live the hydra!"

The man in the suit looked around at everyone, his voice was not loud, and he still had a smile on his face, but it was creepy. All the officers threw their weapons, trembling and pale. General McConville was even more shocked and almost suffered a myocardial infarction.

The man in the suit finally stopped at McConville. The general swallowed his saliva, and finally squeezed a sentence out of his throat as well: "Long live the hydra." ”
