It's a confidential office where important data from the entire research facility is gathered.

There are several important scientific research institutions in the world that are in the same hands as this one.

Their data is also aggregated here in real time for their owners to access.

"Dr. Whitehall, they're back."

Next to the largest monitoring station, Sunil Bakhi, dressed in a white coat, reports to a middle-aged man in a straight suit who is standing in front of a large screen watching the experimental data.

"Oh? Efficient good. ”

Daniel Whitehall turned around, and his round-rimmed glasses flashed a glimmer of reflection:

"Huh...... Pierce was able to fail at the last minute, and it seems that being at the top of power for a long time has made him lose his due vigilance.

Sure enough, no superhero can be taken lightly, let alone the Avengers......

That's why I'm so obsessed with that kind of power. ”

He looked at his right-hand man who had respectfully stepped aside, and a smile of expectation appeared on his face:

"Let's go, let's go see if the secret in Ms. Carter can help us go any further."

"Yes, I've arranged for them to go to the classified lab...... Not! ”

Whitehall was stunned for a moment, turned his head sharply, and looked at his right-hand man with wide eyes and covered his neck with a big change of color—

Blood gushed out, and his neck was cut in half by something sharp!

"Sunil!"

Whitehall quickly drew his gun, and although he had been engaged in scientific research for so many years, he was a real NC officer.

"Ahh

But the next moment, his right hand holding the gun was cut off by an invisible blade!

Blood gushed out, and Whitehall sweated profusely and pressed his left hand against the wound in his right hand, and fell to the ground in embarrassment:

"What people! What do you want! ”

"Hmm...... Amazing self-healing ability......"

A young voice sounded behind him, and he jerked his head to see a slender red-haired young man in casual clothes standing behind him for some time.

"You ......"

Whitehall's pupils shrank:

"Dr. Oakes!"

The suspicions he had been thinking about all along, were confirmed:

"I see! Sure enough, it's you! ”

Although he was embarrassed, the crazy gaze behind the round-rimmed glasses was still staring at Oakes, who was slightly surprised:

"Hahahaha...... You've mastered the technique of rejuvenating yourself!

Peggy Carter is your experiment! Isn't it?! ”

"Tsk, a scientist's sharp intuition, but not an experiment."

Oakes scratched his head, and Whitehall recognized him the first time he saw him, and he noticed that Whitehall's right hand, which had been severed from the wrist, had actually gradually stopped bleeding!

"Uh-huh...... Dr. Oakes Lin, even the Avengers, doesn't have to deny human experimentation......"

Whitehall stood up slowly in pain, and he didn't try to call the guards or anything.

The lab is a secret within a secret, and there aren't even any other office staff around.

And Oakes was able to sneak in silently, directly kill his subordinates, and hit him hard, what the guards outside looked like, you can also imagine.

"Science comes from practice, human experiments......

But I didn't expect that I sent someone to invite Ms. Carter over, but it turned out that I would invite you with me. ”

Whitehall slowly tried to move to the monitoring station, but suddenly stopped-

Between him and the monitoring station, a vine suddenly rose.

The vine twisted and deformed, turning into the shape of a chair, and Oakes reached out and made a "please" gesture:

"Dr. Whitehall, Ms. Carter is ninety years old, isn't it a little rude for you to send such a group of heavily armed guys to invite?"

“……”

Whitehall took a deep breath, his face slowly recovering from a miserable pale.

He looked at the rattan chair, and his eyes showed undisguised longing:

"This ability ...... It's ridiculous to have the power to conquer the world, and yet use it to plant trees everywhere......

Sure enough, the Avengers are a bunch of idiots! ”

"Conquer the world? That's why Hydra still can't be on the table! ”

The door to the lab opened, and a stern-faced Peggy Carter reappeared in front of Whitehall as she had been seventy years earlier.

"Werner Reinhardt, disciple of the Red Skull, I really didn't expect to see you again, especially in this situation."

"Got it all figured out?"

Oakes raised an eyebrow slightly, he had already cleared the guards when he came, and Peggy Carter had just gone to find out the details of this research institute.

He imbued her with some force of nature, and Peggy was able to use her youthful skills perfectly.

It just didn't last long.

But to solve the current situation, it should be enough.

"Well, when I saw his picture, I recognized it."

Peggy Carter slowly approached Whitehall with a sharp gaze:

"I remember I said, as long as I'm there for a day, you'll never come out of the blue—

Even the paperclip program you are not eligible to participate.

It seems that it was Pierce who fished you out. ”

"Seventy years ......"

Whitehall stared at Peggy Carter's stunningly beautiful face as ever with greedy eyes:

"I remember when you retired from S.H.I.E.L.D., it wasn't like that."

"You don't seem qualified to talk about me."

Peggy Carter's brow furrowed deeply:

"If I'm not mistaken, you'd be over a hundred years old by now."

"This Dr. Whitehall ...... Well, maybe he used to be called Reinhardt, but I'll call him that. ”

Oaks pulled a chair and pushed it to Peggy Carter, then pulled another one and sat down on himself:

"His life is very similar to yours now, Ms. Carter.

While aging, there is also a continuous injection of external vitality, which makes him maintain his current middle-aged appearance. ”

"Alien vitality?"

Before Carter could speak, Whitehall jerked to Oakes:

"How did you rejuvenate Carter?"

"A potion that replenishes life energy, unlike the original recovery potion.

But Ms. Carter's physical rejuvenation is only temporary, does not prolong life, and violates the laws of nature. ”

Oakes gave Whitehall a deep look:

"But you're different...... The life force of my potion comes from plants, and the life force that continues to be infused into your body seems to come from ...... Mankind!

As a result, there is no serious rejection that has allowed you to live beyond the limits of human theory. ”

"Humans? Hehehe...... If that's human, then yes! ”

Whitehall knew it was clear that he was here today, but he still wanted to give it a try.

"Worthy of Dr. Oakes, an expert in the field of life......"

He no longer looked at Carter, but stared earnestly into Oakes' eyes:

"But I hold a huge secret...... Dr. Oakes, I've done what you haven't been able to do, aren't you curious? ”
