Chapter 299: Counter-Plotting
Local wars between humanity and the transcendent are unfolding, although they have not yet spread to the P5. But some small countries in Europe have begun to make noise, to the extent that all grass and trees are soldiers.
Over the course of several months, a temporary three-story building was rebuilt on the ruins of the original castle in Sokovia. The members of Hydra, who had been slaughtered by the mechanical forces, began to gather again.
They have the natural right to rule in Sokovia, and naturally they will not let go of this populous country. It's just that Daniel Whitehall, the leader of the Hydra who is now in charge of Sokovia, turned his face quite ugly after seeing the battle report during this time.
Whitehall is one of Hydra's most passionate about superpowers, and he invested a lot of resources in research when he acquired the obelisk. In the end, he found Jiaying, an alien, and dissected her and replaced her with body organs, thus regaining his youth.
And because of his deep knowledge of the transcendent, Whitehall was the most suitable person to deal with this incident. As a result, Hydra's other organizations have provided a lot of funding and manpower to re-establish the Hydra stronghold with Sokovia as the center
I saw Whitehall slap the table and say loudly, "Can any of you explain to me why this so-called Apocalypse Legion was able to find our stronghold in Europe so accurately?" ”
None of the Hydra leaders present dared to respond, because they really didn't know what the problem was.
The atmosphere was rather oppressive, and Whitehall slapped a pistol on the table, then said coldly, "If you can't give me an answer, then you don't need to talk anymore." ”
This is an ultimatum, and everyone here knows very well that Hydra kills people never need to be reported and requested.
Minutes and seconds passed until the first gunshot rang out, and the Hydra member to Whitehall's right was shot in the head. It's unfortunate that Whitehall is right-handed.
The sound of gunfire woke up the ostriches, and if there was no answer, they were all going to die here.
At this time, someone finally raised his hand and said, "That...... Lord Whitehall, I have a hypothesis that our information is likely to have been leaked by S.H.I.E.L.D. from our side. ”
Whitehall frowned and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has already mastered more than half of our power, and you actually said that it was the information exposed by S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”
The muzzle of the gun turned and aimed at the man's chest, and if he couldn't give a proper reason, the distance of a few meters would give him a few tenths of a second more at most.
"Wait, all the strongholds that we are attacking now have cooperated with S.H.I.E.L.D., and there are records of material exchanges on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s. side. On the contrary, the stronghold, unknown to Alexander Pierce, was completely unattacked......"
With that, Whitehall pulled the trigger.
The bullet pierced the unfortunate man's heart, causing him to die cleanly without any pain.
Everyone was shocked, and at first they thought he was quite reasonable, but they didn't expect to be killed by Whitehall.
Just when everyone thought they were doomed, they heard Whitehall say, "Get out of here, and everyone submit me a plan for dealing with the Apocalypse Legion." ”
Everyone left the room almost as if they had been pardoned. It wasn't until most of the people had left that Whitehall said to the man beside him, "Bury him and give the family twice as much pension." ”
Sunil Bakshi, Whitehall's assistant and his most capable subordinate, heard this and said with some surprise: "Mr. Whitehall, is he ...... what he said?"
"It's true, there's something wrong with S.H.I.E.L.D. over there. But I can't let the news get out there, so he has to die. Whitehall said helplessly.
Sunil Bakshi looked at the dead corpse, and felt a little sad in his heart. This man may have been the most astute of the people in the meeting, but because he knew so much, he was put to death.
Sunil Bakhi secretly warned himself that in Hydra, it is not enough to be smart, but to be more cautious and meticulous, otherwise his fate will not be much better.
"Bakhi, starting today, remind all strongholds associated with S.H.I.E.L.D. to evacuate. It is strictly forbidden for anyone to contact Alexandra Pearce. Whitehall commanded.
"I see, but why did Alexandre Pearce betray us?" Sunil Bakhi continued.
"Do you think every head of Hydra is a companion in unison? Whether Pierce did it or not this time, it has nothing to do with him. Simply, it's better to cut off the hand he stretched out for. As for whether it is really related to S.H.I.E.L.D., it will be clear to see which Apocalypse Legion's actions. Whitehall said.
The discussion between the two in the secret room was completely absorbed by an ant-sized mechanical beetle on the ceiling, and it was simultaneously transmitted to an underground secret room hundreds of kilometers away from here.
This is about a hundred square meters of underground secret room, which looks like a wine cellar for storing wine, but at this time it has been emptied and used to stack a large number of weapons and equipment.
Other than that, there were only a dozen or so people who were wrapped in gray combat uniforms all over their bodies.
These were all members of the Apocalypse Legion, and several of them were old acquaintances of Rorschach.
"Looks like they've discovered our source of intelligence. Brother, what are we going to do next? "The first to speak was a little girl, the only one who didn't wear a gray combat uniform.
This little girl is Ai Ge, the mutant girl that Thor, the god of thunder, fell in love with on Earth. Originally, his whole body was covered with dark spots, and he was discriminated against because he was ugly. But Ai Ge did not feel inferior because of this, but exercised extremely strong willpower in the strange eyes of others.
When her abilities were awakened, the dark spots on her body turned into black scales that could be hidden under her skin. This scale gives Ai Ge a very strong defensive power, which is better than the defense effect of this gray combat suit.
In addition, when she uses her ability, the black scales will spray high-temperature water vapor, so the combat uniform is a burden.
Ai Ge's brother is naturally the crow that Rorschach met in New Mexico, he used to be the mutant leader of that state, but now he has already joined the mutant underground organization and become Lona's subordinate.
The Raven is a very capable mutant with the ability to fly, invulnerable to feathers, and capable of shooting feathers with the power of a machine gun.
"Isn't this something planned, tell me to pull out all the remaining targets as soon as possible, and at the same time let the S.H.I.E.L.D. side act according to the plan. This time, it is necessary to let the people of Hydra understand that they are not the only ones who will play undercover. The crow snorted coldly.
