Chapter 227: Mutation?
Professor X didn't break his promise. At dinner, the final verdict on the whole thing was announced by Radio Free Peace. The culprit who provoked the whole thing, Thunderbolt, Johnny Storm, was directly ejected from the scene. In addition, Latvia, represented by Doctor Doom, and the other three members of the Fantastic Four were also deprived of their independent voting rights in the upcoming meetings. In other words, before the meeting against the alien invaders began, the two parties lost the opportunity to take the initiative to fight for their own rights.
At the end, the voice on the radio also emphasized that this was the result of the first punishment, so it would be opened. It advises everyone not to challenge the rule of non-aggression again, otherwise "attacking each other" will become a reality. Everyone must refrain from it, whether they want to provoke or be provoked, otherwise they can only be said to deserve to be punished. Thunderbolts are a lesson in point......
Poor Johnny Storm "made a name for himself" by the kind of way he least wanted it.
Although some people are still not satisfied with this result, they are able to accept it. In this verdict, the two guarantors, Team America and Professor X, made it clear that they would not bring the preference of heroes and villains into the area, which reassured many people who thought that their public image was not very good.
And while everyone had been waiting for the verdict of the second floor all afternoon, Grant had slipped to the first floor.
On this level were the two organizations he wanted to know the most.
Thanks to the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom incidents, the atmosphere is a little depressing. A lot of people choose to stay in their rooms. This allowed Grant to walk smoothly to the outside of the apartment-style room where Hydra was.
Having been lurking within another spy organization for decades, the cautious style has been deeply rooted in Hydra's bones. It's not hard to imagine that on someone else's turf, the people of Hydra would be vigilant enough. Therefore, it is not easy to eavesdrop and peek. Fortunately, the high-tech surveillance and counter-surveillance instruments that make Hydra so good are not used here. Grant put a little thought into it. Eventually, he managed to enter the room.
I didn't expect to see a familiar face as soon as I entered.
Daniel Whitehall.
Before Loki used the Cosmic Cube to open the wormhole and bring the Zetarians into New York, Grant met one of the leaders of the Hydra through the screen, and suffered a small loss at the hands of the other party. Later, he traveled back in time to the World War II period, and also met a similar-looking person - Wiener Reinhardt. Grant, who was in high spirits about playing the role of the Shadow Warrior at the time, lifted him from the squad leader, intending to disgust the man with the same face as Whitehall when he returned to the future. But now it seems that it was Grant who was disgusted.
Grant used to think that these two were just about the same in appearance. Now see this man again. After staring at each other's faces carefully for a while, he was sure that the face that was exactly the same after seventy years was actually the same person.
What happened to this guy? Like Bucky Barnes and the current Winter Soldier, he once went to the operating table of Anim Zola? Or is there another opportunity?
In addition to Whitehall, in addition to the few soldiers who stood around as cameo bodyguards, there were three other people sitting on the sofa like Whitehall. At first, because it was his back to himself, Grant didn't know who the three were. And after he moved his position slightly, he found that these three were also old acquaintances.
The first is Samuel Stern of the Strung Force, who used Bruce Banner's blood to bring a weakened version of Hulk Zucheng's Sterns to Hydra. If you draw a line according to the spacing between several people. Stern's side was on Whitehall's side. Sitting on the other side was another Grant who had been compared to Grant for a long time, former S.H.I.E.L.D. sixth-level agent Grant Ward. And the person who was chatting with Whitehall was John Garrett, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who concocted the "Great Magician Arrest Plan" against public opinion.
Well, it is more appropriate than an "old acquaintance", or an "old enemy".
"So you let those two girls wait for you for decades...... Hmm, the results of the obelisk have been taken? Tsk, that's interesting! ”
It was John Garrett who spoke. This perverse guy is making merciless taunts of Whitehall.
"Not exactly. We've made some reagents that can completely carbonize living organisms. It's just that the success rate is not high. Whitehall looked a little annoyed, "I've always followed my example with the leaders of the Red Skull and the Dark Shadow Knight. I want to have the same vision as theirs. This time I knew that although I had outlived them, I was still far from them. In my eyes, the obelisk was a weapon, but the perfect mutation of the two girls showed me a brutal truth - it was a holy weapon that could transform a certain group of people into mutants. Alas, it's a pity. ”
Speaking of this, White Hall paused, and at the same time pointed at Garrett with a dark face: "You also have an unshirkable responsibility for this failure. You're up to S.H.I.E.L.D. to deal with it. How can you get them to show up at my research base without warning! Most importantly. After the signal came from my side, you didn't come in time. Otherwise, how could I have allowed that S.H.I.E.L.D. girl and that traitor under my command to leave! ”
Listening to Whitehall's old story, Garrett's face was not good-looking. This time, however, he was ahead of the curve, so he didn't speak. but his beloved disciple spoke for him.
"As soon as we received your signal, we organized an interception of S.H.I.E.L.D. But Skye, the S.H.I.E.L.D. girl you were talking about, hacked into our system. Gave us a misleading message, which is what deprived us of the opportunity to intercept. You know, Skye's hacking skills can make Stark deflated. ”
"Yes. Why did I hear that it was because you had an idea about that girl after a few fights and neglected to take precautions, so the other party unknowingly found your server and hacked in. ”
A simple sentence was more like an accusatory rhetorical question, and Whitehall left Ward speechless. Moreover, he didn't stop talking: "By the way, I also heard that girl is related to the great magician." I know you've been compared to him all the time, and it's inevitable that you'll be a little aggrieved. But now that person hasn't appeared for so long, he may have died in some accident. You don't have to worry about him, do you? There are only women, there are many in the world. You should focus on your career now......"
Whitehall's words stabbed Ward like needles into Ward's body, making Ward not only angry but also quite depressed. Ward wasn't the most depressed of the entire apartment-style room, though.
The name "Skye" captured most of Grant's attention. Judging from the conversations between several people, Skye seems to have been affected by the obelisk along with another girl, and has become a mutant-like existence. This worries Grant. It's just that the news is gone here, and these people don't continue to talk, so that Grant has the mind to rush out and ask them.
(PS: As a boss with such a legendary experience, Whitehall died too hastily in the play.) Modify it, and I'll give him a "decent" death...... (To be continued......)
