Comics: Rise of Hydra

"This is the answer you gave me? Ah!!"

His daughter was out of danger. General Ross, who returned from the hospital, threw the folder in his hand vigorously on the table. Printing paper full of letters was scattered all over the table.

Looking around, General Ross said in a very rude tone

"Gentlemen, I think we all know that we have just suffered the most humiliating incident in the military. Not even the Vietnam War resulted in the destruction of the Pentagon."

A group of officers, including Jim, lowered their heads and remained silent.

General Ross widened his gray-blue eyes and said coldly

"Yes, it's a shame. The Pentagon, the U.S. Defense Headquarters, known as the safest place in the world, was infiltrated and jailbroken. Although the media did not report it, do you know how countries around the world view this incident? Ah! Russia's national defense The minister is even asking us if we need him to send some guards! Damn it!"

"The Secretary of Defense summoned me this morning and asked me to give a report within a week, and this is the answer you gave me? Are you going to let me take this shit to the Cabinet to report to the President?"

The low-pitched discussion started again, Ross knocked on the conference table dissatisfied, and the conference room fell silent instantly.

General Ross put one hand on the table and said in a solemn tone

"I never like to talk nonsense. For the honor of the military, and for the medals on your shoulders, you have to do your own thing seriously. Two things... Who can find the clues to the perfect blood, or catch Magneto? That son of a bitch, I will promote him to be my first assistant... Do you understand? Gentlemen, a bright future lies here, I just don’t want to stand in front of the Secretary of Defense and have nothing to say."

"The meeting is dismissed. I hope you will be worthy of the honor of a federal soldier. Jim, you stay."

A group of senior officers left and returned to the conference room at a fast pace, almost at a trot. General Ross's words were like giving them a tenfold dose of stimulants. Even an old dog that had been gelded could get excited immediately. Jump on the little bitch’s back.

Oh shit! First assistant?

That's basically like stepping into the ranks of generals with half a foot. Everyone competes fairly. An opportunity to rise to the top is right in front of them, and they won't let go of any second.

Jim stood up and asked a little guilty, "General, what's the problem?"

General Loren closed the door of the conference room, and Jim finally reacted and walked over quickly. General Ross shook his head and said, "Jim, what did Stryker say?"

"Colonel Stryker said he still needs some time."

Jim said a little awkwardly

"When the plane crashed, some parts of the brainwave intensifier were damaged, but Stryker has promised that those parts can be repaired within a week at most. By then, no matter where Bruce Banner is hiding, he will be able to find the exact location. .”

General Ross's cold face finally had a hint of smile.

"Very good, at least there is good news. Tell Stryker that he only has three days."

Jim smiled in agreement, and then said carefully

"General, I investigated something..."

Before Jim could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. General Ross raised his hand slightly, and Jim hurriedly closed his mouth knowingly.

"Come in!"

"General! Senator Clay is here from the President's Office and wants to see you! He was ordered to consult on the progress of Project Sunflower."

A young female soldier opened the door and saluted.

Ross frowned slightly. He could ignore SHIELD, but he couldn't drive Senator Clay out of the door from the President's Office.

"Jim, get out first!"

"Alice, please come in, Senator Clay."

"Yes, General!"

Jim saluted and walked out, and met Senator Clay face to face. He had blond hair, thin lips, elegant glasses, and even nodded to him slightly like a gentleman. Without the information Lauren gave him, no one would have thought of Senator Clay. , turned out to be a mutant in disguise.

"Mutants are indeed monsters!"

A cold air slowly spread from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Jim smiled dryly and walked out quickly.

Jim walked out of the conference room, and several of his lieutenants came up quickly. A fat man with a high hairline asked in a low voice, "Boss, what's so good? Why did the general keep you? Do we have anything?" Secret mission?”

"Good thing? Ha!"

Jim curled his lips, then looked at General Ross's conference room, and couldn't help but feel ready to make a move. There was only one person on the other side, so this might be a very good opportunity.

Jim asked in a low voice.

"Billy, how many of us are here?"

Little Fatty Billy looked around with wide eyes and whispered, "Boss, there are more than a dozen people, do they really have a secret mission?"

Jim pretended to be natural and let the people next to him pass. When no one was around, he whispered excitedly, "Are you all armed with guns? There is a secret tip. Do you dare to fight with me... If It’s done, everyone can get promoted and make a fortune.”

"Gun? Boss, this is the Pentagon!"

Billy exaggeratedly whispered, especially after the Magneto incident, the place was so heavily guarded that not even a mosquito could fly in. Their positions were not high enough to bring weapons in.

Jim frowned, and after a moment, Billy suddenly whispered, "Boss, I have a buddy in the security office of the building. If we give them an emergency signal, we can borrow people from the security office, um, two Is one team enough?”

Jim grinned excitedly, "Damn it, Billy, you smart bad boy, you get a big share of the credit this time."

In the conference room, General Ross was doing Tai Chi with Senator Clay.

"Hey, Senator, what's going on is military classified!"

"For your sake, you should not get involved in this matter. I will report directly to the President's Office...hehehe..."

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

There was a knock on the door, followed by Jim pushing open the door of the conference room and walking in.

"General, there's an emergency."

General Ross looked up at Jim and gave him an admiring look. Finally, a smarter subordinate knew how to come in and help him out.

General Ross stood up quickly, nodded, and said quickly in a farewell tone without giving Senator Clay any time to think about it.

"Senator, you see, everything has been a mess lately, and I still have a lot of things to deal with here."

Senator Clay glanced at Jim, shrugged, and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, but the president is very concerned about this plan. I think he hopes to see the detailed mission report immediately..."

The senator stepped forward and extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner.

"Stand where you are and don't move."

Major Jim rushed out and stood in front of General Ross.

The senator stopped because a dark gun was pointed at him, and then, with a burst of noisy footsteps, a dozen big men rushed in, with various weapons in their hands pointed at him.

"Major Jim, what are you doing?"

General Ross frowned and said coldly.

"What are you doing? Attacking federal senators?"

Senator Clay asked coldly.

"General, we found out that Senator Clay died in the line of duty when mutants attacked Congress three years ago. The Senator Clay in front of me is a mutant in disguise, right, Miss Mystique?"

Senator Clay's eyes flashed with surprise.

Under the threat of a gun, she didn't care at all. She covered her mouth and smiled softly. Her charming posture coupled with the appearance of the senator was really weird.

"Clap clap clap..."

Raven clapped her hands and smiled.

"Ah, not all the military is useless, but do you really naively think that this little person can catch me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, like a snake shedding its skin, the senator's skin strangely transformed into blue scales with black spots. Her hair also changed from black to burgundy, and there were black patches on her forehead and cheeks. , small barbs similar to scales.

It seemed like the devil came out of the Bible incarnate, and everyone was shocked by this scene.

At this moment, Mystique suddenly moved. With unusual agility, she rushed towards General Ross.

"bump…"

Jim subconsciously pulled the trigger, but Mystique was not knocked down.

A moan came out of her nose, and Mystique's body dodged with agility and flexibility that was far beyond ordinary people. Almost in a matter of millimeters, the bullet missed her vital point, but it still caused a blood splatter on her chest. Her figure was too bumpy. Being interested may not be a good thing.

Weird, but extremely fast, after her plan to take General Ross hostage failed, her body almost squirmed backwards against the ground, dodging and jumping in the conference room with agility that is difficult for normal humans to do.

All the weapons fired at the same time, leaving her almost no time to breathe.

"Pfft..."

Two more bullets penetrated her body and flew over, and there was still a strong smell of blood on it.

Mystique kept rolling and dodging. To be honest, such head-on combat was not what she was good at. If it were Asazo, Logan, or even Toad... they could easily catch General Ross, but she was completely suppressed by him. Even injured, if it continues to be delayed, the situation will only get worse. After all, this is the Pentagon.

Mystique couldn't figure out where she was exposed, and she had always been extremely confident in her ability to disguise herself.

"Damn it! How did they find out? It seems that the only way to find Charles' whereabouts is to find other ways!"

However, now was not the time to think about these things. She threw a black ball, smashed it on the ground, and then...

"Click... click..."

"It's a smoke bomb..."

"Ahem...protect the general..."

Thick and pungent smoke filled the air instantly, making it impossible to see anything, and no one dared to shoot easily.

"The Brotherhood of Mutants greets you, General Ross!"

"I am Raven...you can call me Mystique. Remember, if the persecution of mutants does not stop, this war will never end."

Raven's hoarse voice sounded in the smoke, and there was a special charm in the hoarseness.

When the smoke cleared, there was still no sign of Mystique in the room.

Did you escape?

Or pretending to be someone?

"You did great, Jim."

General Ross's expression was extremely ugly.

Okay! Even the president's cronies have been infiltrated by mutants, so who else can be trusted?

General Ross took out a handkerchief from his pocket, collected the blood of the Witch that sprayed on the ground, carefully put it into his pocket, and then said through gritted teeth

"She's injured, lock down the building, search everyone, and those guys have to pay for what they did."
