Chapter 77: Code 47
In Nevada, Nick Fury and Mariah Hill stepped down from the helicopter and walked into the temporary camp of S.H.I.E.L.D., as far as the eye could see, a large number of wounded soldiers were constantly being sent to the plane and ready to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
Faced with all this, Nick Fury walked into the camp headquarters with a blank face.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. can be said to have suffered heavy losses in this operation, the result is the most important thing for a super agent like Nick Fury, whose life and death have long been downsized.
"How's it going?" Walking into the headquarters, Nick Fury asked Phil Coulson, who was presiding over the overall situation.
"The loss is big, but the gain is not small," Coulson replied.
"Tell me about it," Nick Fury nodded.
"This umbrella base was used by Dr. Isaacs to develop new biological weapons, but it was not Isaacs himself who was responsible for the specific research, but his clone," Phil Coulson said.
"Clones?" Hearing this word, Nick Fury immediately lifted his spirits.
"Yes, the cloning technology of the Umbrella Corporation is very advanced, in addition to the clone of Isaacs, they have also cultivated a large number of Alice as test subjects in this base." Phil Colson.
“…… A clone of Alice? Why? Maria Hill on the side asked puzzledly, "Is there anything special about her?" ”
"I'm afraid so, but I think it would be more convincing for another person to explain this matter" Phil Coulson took out a remote control and pressed it, and a white figure appeared in the headquarters, it was the White Queen.
"Hello, sir," the White Queen greeted Phil Coulson.
"What is this?" Nick Fury frowned.
"The artificial intelligence of the Umbrella Company, the sister model of the Red Queen that the military got before, the White Queen, I don't think anyone knows all the secrets of this base better than her," Coulson said, and then said to the White Queen, "Tell me about Project Alice"
"Alice Project, Dr. Isaacs accidentally discovered that Alice's genes and the T virus have an excellent fit, so he cultivated a large number of Alice's clones as experimental subjects, from the process of interaction between the two, he invented the G virus, although the G virus is not infectious, but it is extremely mutable to the owner of the living body, as far as the current situation is concerned, this mutation will vary from person to person." The White Queen explained.
"Varies from person to person? That is, in addition to Isaacs, the clone, there are other cases? Maria Hill asked.
"Yes" Phil Coulson stepped aside and opened the curtain, and two makeshift biochemical isolation cells appeared in front of Nick Fury and Maria Hill, and on the operating tables in the two isolation cells, Alice and Rumlow walked respectively.
"Alice and Rumlow? How did they get G? Nick Fury frowned and asked, although Alice and Rumlow are both newcomers, but after joining S.H.I.E.L.D., both of them performed extremely well, and they belonged to the cultivation objects that Nick Fury valued more, and now that there was an accident, it naturally made him feel bored.
"Alice was not infected with G, but T, when she and Matt withdrew to the base, the two were attacked, Alice was artificially injected with T, we don't have any clue who did it" Phil Coulson said with a somewhat unsightly face, at that time, the first floor was obviously under the control of S.H.I.E.L.D., but he was still attacked, which was simply a slap in the face.
"Isn't there a surveillance footage?" Nick Fury frowned when he heard this, if it was the umbrella person who did this, it would be fine, but if it wasn't, then there would be a big problem.
"The surveillance of the location of the incident was all thought to have been breached in advance, and I was not able to capture any valuable footage," the answer to this question was the White Queen.
"Didn't get vaccinated?" The vaccine for the T-virus, Chris is openly sold, and when it comes to dealing with the base of the Umbrella Company, S.H.I.E.L.D. is naturally well-prepared in this regard.
"No, because when we found out, Alice was already past the mutation period, but she wasn't zombie," Coulson said, "and our experts found that under the effect of the T virus, Alice's whole body cells became extremely active, and in terms of activity, Captain America back then was not as active as her." ”
"What do you mean" Maria Hill still didn't react, what does this have to do with the missing Captain America?
"This means that we may soon have a super-soldier who is even more powerful than the legendary Captain America," Nick Fury replied to Coulson.
"If there are no surprises," Phil Colson nodded.
"And what about Rumlow?" Maria Hill asked again.
"Rumlow has also passed the mutation period, but even if he doesn't, there is nothing we can do, after all, we don't have a vaccine for the new virus G, and unlike Alice, Rumlow is the virus that he drank himself." Phil Colson said as he looked at Rumlow, who was lying on the hospital bed and was unresponsive.
"Why would he do that?" Maria Hill asked.
"It's supposed to be for survival," Phil Colson shrugged, then motioned to the White Queen to "turn on the surveillance footage at the time"
"Obey the order," the White Queen nodded, and the figure disappeared, revealing a surveillance footage of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents besieging G-mutant Isaacs at the time.
The weapons in the hands of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had no effect on G at all, especially when they saw the rocket exploding in the air not far in front of Isaacs, which made Nick Fury and Maria Hill look solemn.
"What's going on?" Nick Fury asked.
"The G virus can stimulate the potential of the human body, and it is clear that Isaacs has some superpowers" said Phil Coulson, "At that time, even if he retreated in order to cover the others, Rumlow was attacked by Isaacs's G mutant and was seriously injured, and according to the situation at the time, if he did not receive timely treatment, I am afraid he would not have lasted 10 minutes."
As Coulson narrates, Rumlow crawls over and drinks the virus.
"Before they went to kill Isaacs, Rumlow had learned something about the G-virus from the White Queen, so I deduced that he chose to drink the virus in order to survive in the near death situation," Coulson said.
"He's a warrior" Seeing that Rumlow was seriously injured after breaking and drank the virus in order to survive, Nick Fury nodded and did not continue to investigate, if he encountered this situation, I am afraid he would do the same.
"That's right, and he's lucky, just like Alice, he's managed to survive the mutation phase, and he's even more active than Alice," Coulson concluded. "However, although both of them have survived the mutation period, experts say that they are not sure whether there will be any sequelae, so I think the two still need to conduct long-term observation."
Nick Fury nodded when he heard this, "Bring them back, as well as relevant materials including G virus and cloning technology, and form a research team, codenamed Project 47." ”
"Yes, sir"
Nick Fury then left the command, and he was still very satisfied with the operation.
Although a lot of manpower was lost this time, the G virus, the cloning technology, the White Queen, and two subordinates who were suspected of being super soldiers, any of which were enough for S.H.I.E.L.D. to recover the losses.
But is that really the case?
