"I don't know exactly what this plan is about, but it's what Pierce calls the Apocalypse, and it's a plan that Hydra has been planning and running for at least twenty years. Now this plan is nearing completion. ”

Now that he had opened his mouth, Jasper Sitwell naturally swallowed his words back without regret, and he spoke to himself without Meng Ao opening his mouth to ask.

"I need to be more specific."

Meng Ao pressed the top cover of the metal can with his palm, and the entire metal can slowly sank to the ground under this press, and finally closed to the floor and was buried in the ground again. It also gave Jasper Sitwell a big breather. In any case, he absolutely does not want to be used as a guinea pig by a super pharmaceutical and biological weapons company like Storm.

"It's a big plan, even within Hydra, it's a secret within a secret, and I've only learned some information about it when I've been with Pierce recently." Jasper Sitwell wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tugged at his tie, as if he couldn't breathe from it.

"Pierce intends to settle a mess of the country's mess lately, and then make a peaceful change with great prestige. The Apocalypse Project is the last resort. ”

"Insider, sir. I need to know more about the inside story of Project Apocalypse. Meng Ao reminded.

Jasper Sitwell glanced at Meng Ao in a panic: "I only know that it is a powerful mutant genetic weapon. ”

Meng Ao raised an eyebrow.

"Whether it is the era when Lord Red Skull is in power, or the period when Lord Red Skull is missing and Hydra is forcibly disbanded, and from light to dark, Hydra is very important to the entire alien, especially the mutants with the X gene. It is the most deeply studied. ”

"We have a wide variety of specimens! You can fill up several warehouses of experimental data! We don't have to estimate any ethics and morals like S.H.I.E.L.D., what we have achieved in the first place is unparalleled! The so-called S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as Storm and Trask, and Worthington Labs, are all inherited from the research legacy of the Hydra organization! ”

"Whether it's a variant of the X gene, a biochemical weapon, or a super serum, etc. It's all about Hydra and the experimental data before you can find the right way. Even the current technology of S.H.I.E.L.D. is mostly born from the original Hydra. Airplanes, tanks, networks, which are soaked in the crystallization of Hydra's technology! It was a time of technological madness......"

"That's it! I admit that Hydra is strong in all kinds of technology, but you also have to admit that your madness has killed you. Turn the conversation back. What kind of mutant genetic weapon is Apocalypse? What kind of capabilities does it have? ”

Jasper Sitwell, who was slightly in a state of frenzy, was warmed down by Meng Ao's cold words.

"While conducting various studies on the X gene, Hydra accidentally discovered a hidden gene, from which all mutant abilities were born, as if they had a common ancestor. It's a pity that Hydra was mainly focused on the analysis of the cosmic Rubik's Cube at that time, and this gene was discovered too late. ”

Jasper Sitwell smiled wryly: "Hydra is being defeated and divided, and all kinds of scientific and technological achievements and experimental data have been divided up by various allies, but this belated secret has been hidden. And when S.H.I.E.L.D. and other institutions began to recruit Hydra's original researchers, using them to quickly copy and advance the scientific and technological knowledge they had looted. Gradually, the Hydra leaders, who had gradually recovered a little bit of vitality, made a long-term plan. ”

"We have nothing to do with the lost Rubik's Cube of the Universe. So the upper echelons of Hydra turned their attention to this ancestral gene. They are going to create a 'god'! ”

"Apocalypse? An ancestor of mutants? Meng Ao's eyes lit up a little frighteningly.

"Yes." Jasper Sitwell has completely broken the jar and has answered all questions. The moment he opened his mouth and shouted the words "Apocalypse", he had already cut himself off. These two words are exposed to Pierce's ears, and Pierce will kill him! So Jasper Sitwell now has the only option to choose with Meng Ao.

"Over the years, in order to meet the scientific and technological requirements of creating the 'Apocalypse', Hydra has almost selflessly cooperated with the oppression of S.H.I.E.L.D. and other organizations, and has also cooperated with S.H.I.E.L.D. to continuously cultivate laboratories such as Trask and Worthington. Stark Industries, and you Storm Enterprises, all have tech companies built by genius scientists. All this is the accumulation of the perfect birth of 'Apocalypse'! ”

"Your Storm Tyrant and Colony are very successful, and the kind of biochemical technology that can freely fuse multiple X genes without rejection of those genes is simply coveted. The upper echelons of Hydra are eager to get their hands on this technique. Even agitated S.H.I.E.L.D. to take this technology. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s philosophy is that all dangerous technologies should not be in the hands of private individuals, let alone private companies, but should be controlled by S.H.I.E.L.D.! ”

"Hank Pym was reluctant to hand over his Pym particle technology, so he parted ways with S.H.I.E.L.D. early. But now the Pym Technology, which he worked so hard to create, is in the hands of his students. And his students are copying his technique. ”

"Howard Stark was reluctant to reveal all of his skills to S.H.I.E.L.D., so Hydra put him and his wife in a car accident. We rejoice that Tony Stark is just as good a weapons genius as his father, and unlike his father, he doesn't like to be in charge. Obadistein, on the other hand, was a good collaborator, but he was a bit out of luck. ”

"Little Devil Bolívar Trask, as long as someone can provide him with funds to sustain his research, he can give everything! Including their own beliefs and techniques. ”

"Warren Worthington I and II were pure merchants, they may have talent, status, power, but such a family values interests, and we can have a certain exchange of interests, and even control."

"And the so-called technology, which is generally obtained by S.H.I.E.L.D., is equivalent to that of Hydra. Even your father, Mendel Storm's original Super Serum Technique, also has a raw backup in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technical database. But Nick Fury didn't do anything to Storm after you took power. ”

Jasper Sitwell said openly.

"Maybe Nick Fury realized something was wrong at that time?" Meng Ao was clearly not very interested in this topic. He was still interested in what Jasper Sitwell called the "Apocalypse Project".

"I know it's all been said, and as for the more details, except for some of the researchers in charge of this project, only a few people know about the entire plan and process within Hydra." Jasper Sitwell reluctantly raised his hand, signaling that he had nothing more to say.

"The name Apocalypse. Is it the book of Revelation from the New Testament? Meng Ao asked.

"Yes." Jasper Sitwell nodded.

What about the calamities of the book of Revelation? War, plague, famine, and death! Will the apocalypse bring these? Meng Ao asked again.

"Yes." Jasper Sitwell nodded again, "That's the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, I've heard Pierce talk about them." They were born with the Apocalypse, awakened together, and destroyed the enemies of resistance together. ”

"What are the four horsemen?" Meng Ao asked.

"I don't know." Jasper Sitwell shook his head, "Pierce never said that, and he didn't allow me to ask. All I knew was what I knew and what he didn't mind me listening to. ”

"You can think again." Meng Ao said very lightly, but this kind of persecution made Jasper Sitwell's face more and more bitter.

"I really don't know much more." Jasper Sitwell almost cried, "If I had known more, Pierce would have killed me mercilessly to keep the secret from being revealed." He will! It's all too common for S.H.I.E.L.D. to kill several agents in a single mission. ”

Looking at Meng Ao's tense face, Jasper Sitwell racked his brains and turned his brain. I want to squeeze out the superfluous information about the "Apocalypse Project" in my head. A flash of light flashed through his brain, which was slightly hot from high concentration. was grabbed by Jasper Sitwell as a savior, and said excitedly to Meng Ao: "During this time, Pierce has paid a lot of attention to Trask, Worthington Labs, and Pym Technology, maybe the Apocalypse Project is hidden in these companies." ”

Meng Ao was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He held up a finger and shook it in front of Jasper Sitwell, and said very seriously, "One last question." Since they have gone to great lengths to create the so-called mutant genetic weapon Apocalypse, and regard it as Hydra's ultimate means of controlling the world, how can Hydra master it? ”

Jasper Sitwell's face suddenly wrinkled with bitterness, and if it weren't for the enough pressure that Meng Ao had put on him before, he almost couldn't help jumping up and slapping him in the face. Then scolded mercilessly. But now he can only smile bitterly when he is faced with the fact that he can change himself from a person, a high-ranking agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who has a lot of power and can call the wind and rain among ordinary people, to Meng Ao who is locked in a cage and waiting to be slaughtered.

"With this kind of confidentiality, how could Pierce let me know alive?"

Meng Ao patted him on the shoulder.

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. Trident HQ.

Conference room.

Alexander Pierce was staring intently at the paper with Meng Ao's autograph on the conference table next to him.

"Hearings?"

He tapped on the table, his eyes falling on Agent Maria Hill who had handed in the request.

"Yes, he thinks we can't mess around anymore. Especially in the face of an extraterrestrial threat that is likely to increase in the future. He has a quick solution to most of his current troubles, and he wants to get the approval and support of the World Security Council. But for the sake of secrecy, he needed to be face-to-face to be honest about the plan. ”

Maria Hill relayed Meng'o's words neatly.

"Then hand it in." Alexander Pierce nodded.

As Maria Hill was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "Has Agent Jasper Sitwell been found?" ”

Maria Hilton stopped leaving, turned around and said respectfully: "Still looking, the other party's methods are very skillful." We asked the agents who were protecting Jasper Sitwell that day, and they all had no memory of how they fell unconscious, or what happened after that. All they remembered was Agent Jasper Sitwell's meeting with Councillor Stan, and they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. This shows that the other party sent a very professional and elite manpower. ”

"Is there a suspicious target?" Alexander Pierce asked again, like a kind boss who cares about the safety of his subordinates.

"There aren't many people who can avoid the eyes and ears of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the monitoring of these things, and the biggest one is probably some anomaly. Recently, some mutant criminals and aliens have been active almost unscrupulously, attacking everything and destroying everything. Maria Hill still replied to Alexander Pierce's words with a serious face and meticulousness.

"And only those powerful mutants and aliens can make Jasper Sitwell unable to even call for help. Dressed in colony clothes, even the most elite soldiers, it was impossible for them to knock them down and take Agent Jasper Sitwell away in just a few minutes without alarming pedestrians without any movement. ”

"The only suspicion is that this time they were unexpectedly gentle, not killing the agents who were protecting Jasper Sitwell, nor killing Councilor Stan, who had just separated from Jasper Sitwell."

"Whoever the stealth person is, it's certain that they're going for Agent Jasper Sitwell, and they're not going to leave us some so-called information with much fanfare. Maybe they were trying to get some news out of Jasper Sitwell's mouth. ”

Maria Hill uttered a simple inference in one breath.

Alexander Pierce nodded silently and waved her hand at Maria Hill, signaling that she could leave. When he was alone in the room, Alexander Pierce took a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, lit it, and spewed out a cloud.

Maria Hill's inference has no flaws, and if not the facts, it is one of the most likely inferences given the current lack of information. But Alexander Pierce felt inexplicably uneasy.

He trusts his own feelings, just as an animal trusts his premonition of a natural disaster. He was in a trance aware that the other party's target might not be Jasper Sitwell, but him standing behind Jasper Sitwell.

Who is it?

Time is too short, and until there is more information, Alexander Pierce is still confused for the time being. But he already felt a slight tingling sensation in his back. Thinking about what Jasper Sitwell had in his hands that could threaten him, his face turned blue in an instant. (To be continued.) )
