Chapter 63: The Trail of the Hydra
Howard wants to build a laboratory in the wilderness, which is a good thing for Alex, because the experimental research ability of mutants needs to be improved urgently, and with a genius engineer like Howard, it will definitely greatly improve the technological level of mutants. The only pity is that Howard is only good at construction machinery, and he doesn't know much about biology.
Thinking like this, Alex opened his mouth and said, "Safe, absolutely safe, there is no safer place in the world than here!" Looking at Howard's constantly shining eyes, Alex smiled and said, "I promised you to build a laboratory, but you can only ...... alone."
Before Alex could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Howard: "Of course I'm alone, I'm not used to having other people in my lab!" ”
"Listen to me, ok?" Alex rolled his eyes at Howard and continued, "I can assign you a special laboratory at the academy and control it all by you. ”
Without giving Howard a chance to speak, Alex said to himself: "I have only one request, to be a visiting professor at the academy and to teach our students when I am available." ”
Alex had heard Emma complain more than once that there weren't enough teachers at the academy, and several times he tried to pull himself over to make up for it. Just take this opportunity to add another teacher to the academy, so that Emma will not keep muttering in her ear.
Howard hesitated for a long time, pointed to the floating temple full of alien technology around him, couldn't help but feel excited, and said with a hint of trilling: "I can agree to your conditions, but here, it must be open to me!" ”
"No problem, but any research results must be reported and shared at any time!" It has been occupying this floating temple for a long time, but due to the lack of real researchers. These alien technologies have also been ignored, and with Howard's help, Alex certainly won't mind.
Within a few days, an area of X Academy was isolated and used as Howard's exclusive laboratory. Howard also emptied his secret lab in New York, tiring Alex for the day.
"Howard, what am I hiding so many things for!" It's not the same to carry people and carry things, things are dead, and Alex has to lift these things with his own psychic power to complete the telepathy. Every time he shuttled back and forth between New York and the Wild Land with something that weighed more than a thousand pounds for a day, Alex was already tired and cramped.
Howard, however, completely ignored Alex, who was already exhausted and paralyzed, and checked the things he had moved, box by box. Examine it carefully: "You know what, these are my treasures, and every single one of them can change the world!" ”
Alex didn't have time to listen to Howard's nonsense, so he stood up after resting for a while, turned his head to look at Howard, who was still checking, shook his head and shouted: "Howard, you can't go back on what you promised me!" ”
"Hmm!" Howard was intently counting his treasures. Hearing Alex's words, he subconsciously responded, quickly reacted, and turned his head to look. "Huh? What's up! ”
"Teacher!" Alex was a little angry, he had told Emma about this, if Howard dared to go back on his word, Alex definitely wanted him to look good!
Perhaps sensing the anger that burst out of Alex's body, Howard dared to fool around, and ran over with a hippie smile: "Isn't it just teaching students." I remember! When does the course start? ”
Seeing that Howard was interested, Alex let him go. It's just that when I think of Emma's arrangement, I can't help but laugh strangely: "It's not much, two classes a week." Each lesson lasts two hours. Seeing Howard's face darken, Alex continued, "Or four classes a week of one hour each. ”
"What's the difference between the two?!" Howard glared at Alex angrily, but now he couldn't regret it, so he could only stare at Alex with hatred and agree, "Whatever you arrange!" However, let me declare that no one is allowed to disturb me after class! No one is allowed to enter my lab! ”…
"Don't worry, no one will enter your lab!" Having got Howard done, Alex left in a good mood.
Walking out of X Academy, Alex thought about it and prepared to go to Nick Fury, last time he said the news of Bucky, and then it was delayed because of Carter's sudden break-in, Alex still doesn't know the exact news!
S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, in Nick Fury's office.
"Didn't I tell you before that the fake red skeleton grabbed power, and Straker was driven to the Ministry of Science and Technology?" After some jokes, Nick Fury got to the point, "We also took advantage of this chaos to get the news, Bucky has always been controlled by people from the Ministry of Technology, and now he has been frozen by them. ”
Seeing Alex frowning and silent, Nick Fury chuckled and said, "By the way, the Hydra Science and Technology Department has officially become independent and renamed AIM, and their leader is Straker." ”
Alex doesn't care if it's Hydra or AIM, he just needs to know about Bucky: "Do you know where Bucky is now?" ”
"Sorry, we haven't found it yet." Nick Fury shrugged his shoulders and looked guilty, "We just accidentally saw Bucky's name in the AIM database, and we knew he was in ACE, but the specific news of him is really unknown!" ”
Alex was a little irritated when he heard this, it had been so many years, but there had been no news from Steve and Bucky, which made Alex very annoyed, and his voice unconsciously carried a trace of anger: "Straker knows, right?" "Straker is now the leader of AIM, and he should know everything about Bucky.
"I know what you're trying to do, but I advise you, it won't work." Nick Fury looked at Alex's appearance, smiled wryly and shook his head, "Now these leaders have more sense of crisis, especially after the mutants make such a big fuss, they are all guarding against mutants!" You go, you won't be pleased! ”
It's good that Nick Fury didn't say this, but when he said this, it piqued Alex's interest, and without saying a word, he just disappeared.
Alex had left a psychic mark on Straker's body a long time ago, and the telepathic marker was used to allow Alex to teleport to Straker anytime and anywhere, but after this transmission, Alex unexpectedly found that he had come to a large sea, surrounded by a vast sea, where there was a trace of Straker.
Alex was shocked to find that his good days in the Marvel world seemed to be coming to an end, and Straker had found a way to deal with his teleportation. Thinking of this, Alex couldn't help but panic in his heart, thinking of his experience in his previous life, the ability to transmit his mind was limited, and then died tragically.
"No, you have to find a way to improve your strength." After seeing Straker's power, Alex could only choose to leave, and finally began to think about enhancing his strength, "Psychic transmission must be strengthened, and the replication ability must also be improved!" (To be continued)
