The era of American comics begins

Chapter 12 Clairvoyance

The next half month is almost a disaster for Hydra.S.H.I.E.L.D. launched attacks one after another without warning, and five or six sub-bases that had been hiding under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s nose for more than ten years were destroyed in just two weeks.

Most of the action teams that performed the mission were under the orders of Nick Fury, and every raid was highly classified, and even the other high-level executives with tenth-level authority inside the Aegis hadn't heard the slightest bit of wind.Their actions were ups and downs, and each battle ended within 10 minutes, as if it was a precise and efficient resection operation.

In addition, Hydra also lost two valuable super combat powers in a row in the past two months.The first is Carl Krill, who absorbs substances through skin contact and transforms his body shape. He was the first to be captured by A.H.I.E.L.D.Next is Marcus Daniels, who can manipulate a certain dark cosmic ray called negative energy. Unfortunately, his ability was also neutralized by a weapon specially equipped by Aegis, and he was eventually captured.

Although the number of superpowers in this world is increasing, it has not yet reached the point of being a bad street.Even with Hydra's resources at this stage, the number of superpowers under their command is very limited. Losing two superpowers in a row within half a month can be said to be quite serious.

But that seems to be just the beginning.Nick Fury blew the horn of war against Hydra, and the footsteps of war were approaching.

Inside a Hydra facility, the location is kept secret.

This is a completely sealed room, and the light is so dim that it is impossible to see each other's faces even if they face each other.The only source of light came from a metal round table in the middle of the room. Dim blue holograms sat around the round table, and a special meeting was held through this remote connection.

The people present here are all the highest-ranking cadres within Hydra, each of whom holds great power and has the ability to easily shake the world order.These bigwigs are in charge of different branches, and they seldom meet together. Only when the two forces meet on major issues, they occasionally negotiate. Gatherings of the scale today have never been seen in the history of Hydra. It hasn't happened in decades.

For no other reason than they felt an existential threat like never before.

"Nick Fury is eradicating our base after another, purging our people. Thirteen of the agents we planted inside S.H.I.E.L.D. have been removed, ten of them have S.H.I.E.L.D. level [-] clearance and the other three have level [-] authority."

It was a person sitting in the center who spoke. From the dim image, it could be seen that he had a bald head, a round monocle lens on his right eye, and a gloomy and hoarse voice.

"Fry is becoming a problem," he said.

"The trouble is not Nick Fury, but the person who revealed the news to him." The person who spoke this time sat on the left side of the round table, Alexander Pierce, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., "And the worst thing is, We don't know anything about this enemy."

A well-mannered cadre wearing round glasses spoke with a hint of blame in his tone: "Isn't it your job to figure this out?"

"Fry refused to disclose relevant information." Pierce said coldly, "But I speculate that this is related to the earliest attack."

"You said that a guy wearing high-tech individual armor single-handedly took down our stronghold disguised as the Aegis base?"

Pierce nodded: "Shortly after that, Fury ordered the establishment of an independent high-risk file, the project name is 'Black Knight', and the access level exceeds level ten. This means that no one but himself can Access—not even by anyone else with tenth-level clearance."

"Are you trying to say that the assailant gave Fury information?"

"I don't think it's possible for them to be on the line." Pierce said, "Our existence has been unknown for a long time, and the whole world thought that we had been destroyed with the defeat of the Communist Party in World War II. Recently, suddenly Such a mysterious guy came out and raided our stronghold. In just a few days, Fury discovered the existence of Zora, and then discovered the fact that Hydra is still alive. In addition to these things that have happened these days. It’s hard not to think about it.”

"My people say that's Dr. Norton." This time the speaker was on the right hand side of the round table, with a blurred figure, "Randall Mallory, sixth-level agent, I like that kid quite a bit. He told me that The assailant asked him to deliver us a message, and he seemed pretty sure it was Dr Angus Norton."

"Impossible," asserted the man with glasses. "For more than three years, we have never given up on tracking Dr. Angus Norton for a moment, but he has never been heard from. Our eyes are all over the world, and we His influence is everywhere. As long as he is alive, there is absolutely no possibility of avoiding our sight."

"And we're talking about Angus Norton." The man on the right spoke again, "everyone here should know that he is not an ordinary person. We Hydra have never been short of talents, but we must all admit that so far We have yet to find someone who can take his place."

"Even so, he still can't leave no trace for more than three years." The man with glasses stretched out his hand and pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, "You can't do this, and neither can I. Anyone Neither can be done."

After a short pause, he turned around and said, "Furthermore, to take a step back, even if Norton is really alive, he has absolutely no reason to know so much."

"That's true." The man on the right side of the table lifted his chin, "It's true that Norton once had extremely high authority, and he did participate in many top-secret projects of Hydra, but the content he had access to was after all. limited."

"And what he knows is only the secrets of three years ago." The man with glasses emphasized, "After Norton's rebellion, the base he was in was immediately abolished, and all the sensitive strongholds he had been in were transferred. Outdated intelligence doesn't help much at all."

"In any case, the situation is not optimistic for us now. Whether we want to or not, the latent stage is over, and we must take measures." The man in the middle with the monocle sat up straight and leaned forward Leaning, "Pierce, find out where Fury's source of information comes from, at all costs."

The man wearing glasses turned his gaze to the right side of the table: "Garrett, you should be more cautious. You pretended to be that clairvoyant game, and this time seems to have attracted a lot of unnecessary attention from S.H.I.E.L.D. "

The man over there laughed: "Don't worry. S.H.I.E.L.D. has only thought that 'Clairvoyance' is a superpower with the ability to read minds, so they can always be one step ahead of them. They never thought that 'Clairvoyance' would A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent with very high levels of clearance. They haven't linked that identity to Hydra yet."

The man with glasses snorted: "Temporary."

Michael Paso's home, a private laboratory located underground.

Michael was sitting in a chair in front of the test bench, and several 3D floating screens surrounded in front of him were displaying the various battle results that S.H.I.E.L.D. had achieved with his help in the past half month.

"Nick Fury is really completely unambiguous in terms of efficiency," Michael browsed the list of Hydra bases that were eradicated and the list of Hydra agents that were eliminated, "To be honest, I thought he still had to It's been a while in those bureaucratic formalities before it's done."

The voice of the artificial intelligence Shirley came from the speakers around the room: "I believe this is a good thing, don't you sir?"

"Of course, this means that the progress of the plan can be advanced a lot."

"Then I assume you're ready for your next target too?"

"Almost." Michael moved his fingers, and adjusted a new transparent interface in front of him, which displayed various information of John Garrett, the eighth-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"I heard that the 'Clairvoyance' issue has troubled S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while," Michael tapped his knuckles lightly on the armrest of the seat, "Maybe they need a little help."
