The next half a month was almost a disaster for Hydra. Without warning, S.H.I.E.L.D. launched one attack after another, and five or six sub-bases that had been hiding under Aegis's nose for more than ten years were destroyed in just two weeks.

Most of the operation teams on the mission are under the orders of Nick Fury, and every raid is highly classified, and even the other high-level executives with level 10 clearance within Aegis have not heard the slightest rumor. Their movements were swift and unfazed, and each battle ended within ten minutes, as if it were a precise and efficient excision.

In addition to this, Hydra has also lost two valuable Super Combat Powers in a row in the course of two months. The first is Carl Creel, who has the possession of absorbing substances through skin contact and transforming his body form, who was the first to be captured by Aegis. Next up is Marcus Daniels, who can manipulate a certain type of dark cosmic ray known as negative energy, but unfortunately his ability was also neutralized by a weapon specially equipped by Aegis, and he was eventually captured.

Although the number of superpowers in the world is increasing, it has not yet reached the point of rotten streets. Even with the resources of Hydra, the number of superpowers under their command at this stage is very limited, and the loss of two superpowers in a row in half a month can already be said to be quite heavy.

But this seems to be just the beginning. Nick Fury blows the horn of war against Hydra, and the footsteps of war are approaching.

Hydra is in a facility, and the location is kept secret.

It was a completely sealed room, so dimly lit that it was impossible to see each other's faces even when they were facing each other. The only source of light came from a metal round table in the middle of the room, around which a dim blue hologram sat for a special meeting via remote connection.

All of you here are the highest-ranking cadres within Hydra, and each of them has a lot of power and the ability to easily shake the world pattern. These bigwigs are in charge of different branches, and they rarely get together, and only occasionally negotiate when the two forces intersect on important matters, and a gathering of this scale has not been held in the history of Hydra for decades.

For no other reason than because they feel an unprecedented, existential threat.

"Nick Fury is eradicating our base one after another, purging our people. Thirteen of our agents placed inside Aegis were cleared, ten of them with Aegis's Level 5 clearance, and the other three with Level 6 clearance. ”

The man who spoke was a man sitting in the center, barely discerning from the dim image that he was bald, wearing a round monocle in his right eye, and his voice was eerie and hoarse.

"Fury is turning into a nuisance." He said.

"It's not Nick Fury who is in trouble, it's the person who gave him the news." The person who spoke this time sat on the left side of the round table, none other than Alexander Pierce, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., "and unfortunately, we don't know anything about this enemy. ”

A well-mannered cadre wearing round glasses spoke, and there seemed to be a hint of reproach in his tone: "Isn't it your task to figure out this?" ”

Fury refused to give out the information. Pierce said coldly, "But I suspect it has something to do with the earliest attack." ”

"You're talking about a guy in high-tech individual armor single-handedly taking out our stronghold disguised as an Aegis base?"

Pierce nodded: "Shortly after that, Fury ordered the creation of an independent high-risk file, the project name is 'Black Knight', and the access level is beyond level ten. This meant that no one but himself could access it - not even anyone else with Level 10 clearance. ”

"You're trying to say that the attacker gave Fury the information?"

"I don't think we rule out the possibility that they got on the line." "For a long time, no one knew about our existence, and the whole world thought that we had perished with the defeat in World War II. Recently, such a mysterious creature suddenly appeared and raided our stronghold, and just a few days later, Fury discovered Zola's existence and discovered the fact that Hydra was still alive. Plus these things that have happened in the past few days...... It's hard not to be reminiscent. ”

"My guy said it was Dr. Norton." This time, the person who spoke was on the right hand side of the round table, and the outline of his body was blurred, "Randall Mallory, Agent 6, I kind of like that kid." He told me that the assailant had asked him to send us a message, and he seemed to be quite sure that the guy was Dr. Angus Norton. ”

"Impossible." "For more than three years, we haven't given up on tracking down Dr. Angus Norton, but he hasn't been heard from. Our eyes are all over the world, and our power is everywhere. As long as he is alive, there is absolutely no possibility of avoiding our sight. ”

"And we're talking about Angus Norton." The man on the right spoke again, "Everyone here should know that he is not an ordinary person. We Hydra have never been short of talent, but we must all admit that we have yet to find someone who can take his place. ”

"Even so, he can't leave a trace for more than three years." The man with glasses reached out and pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, "You can't do this, and I can't do it...... No one can do it. ”

After a pause, he turned to "Besides, taking a step back, even if Norton was really alive, he would have absolutely no reason to know that much. ”

"That's right." The man on the right side of the table held his chin, "Norton, he used to have extremely high authority, and he did participate in several Hydra's top secret projects, but the content he had access to was limited after all. ”

"And all he knows is a secret from three years ago." "After Norton's mutiny, his base was immediately abolished, and all the sensitive bases he used to be in were transferred, and the outdated information he knew didn't have much effect at all. ”

"In any case, the situation is not optimistic for us right now. Whether we like it or not, the incubation phase is over and we must take action. The monocle-wearing man in the center sat up straight and leaned forward, "Pierce, figure out where Fury's source is coming from, at all costs." ”

The bespectacled man turned his gaze to the right side of the table: "Garrett, you should be cautious too." You're pretending to be that 'clairvoyant' game, and this time seems to have attracted a lot of unwanted attention from S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

The man over there smiled: "Don't worry. S.H.I.E.L.D. so far only thought that 'Clairvoyant' was a super-capable person with the ability to read minds, so they could be one step ahead of them at every turn, and they never thought that 'Claireye' would be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent with a very high level of authority. They haven't linked this identity to Hydra yet. ”

The man in glasses snorted, "Temporarily." ”

***

Michael Paso's home, a private laboratory underground.

Michael sat in a chair in front of the experimental table, surrounded by several 3D floating screens showing the various achievements of S.H.I.E.L.D. with his help in the past half month.

"Nick Fury really isn't ambiguous when it comes to productivity," Michael said, looking through the list of eliminated Hydra bases and the list of purged Hydra agents, "To be honest, I thought he would have to wait a while for those bureaucratic forms before he could put it into action." ”

Artificial intelligence Shirley's voice rang out from the loudspeakers around the room, "I believe that's a good thing, isn't it, sir?" ”

"Of course, this means that the progress of the plan can be brought forward quite a bit."

"So I'm assuming you're ready for your next goal?"

"Pretty much." Michael's fingers moved, and a new transparent interface was placed in front of him, displaying information about S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 8 Agent John Garrett.

"I've heard that the Clairvoyant has been bothering S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while," Michael's knuckles tapped lightly on the armrest of his seat, "maybe they'll need a little help." ”
