Comics: Rise of Hydra

"Lauren! It's already eleven o'clock in the morning...thirty-two minutes."

Wearing a crisp black suit with a bald head holding a newspaper in his hand, Loren's direct boss, Level 7 agent Sitwell, stood in the lobby of the Tri-Wing Building, pointing at the hands on his watch and speaking sternly.

"I stayed up late writing mission reports. I worked hard until the early hours of the morning before going to bed."

Lauren patted the leather bag in her hand and prepared to hand it directly to Sitwell, and said lazily.

"Mission report..."

"The big boss wants you to report to him directly. Be careful. A big incident happened today and the big boss is not in a good mood."

Sitwell had an expression of disbelief on his face, shook the newspaper in his hand and said.

The Washington Post devoted an entire page to a photo of a dagger stuck in a desk...

Well, a very old desk...

Lauren thought it looked familiar. It seemed to be the one given to the President of the United States by the Queen of England.

Lauren had seen in the gossip news that the previous president and his long-legged secret skills were playing games on this table. This was normal, but it was a pity that it was photographed.

"Shocked!! The mutant organization assassinated the president."

The huge shocked body almost overflowed the screen. Lauren stared at her eyes and said

"The old man was killed?"

"Cough cough..."

Sitwick choked on his saliva and coughed several times. He quickly looked around and explained, "It was just an attempt. The president was frightened..."

Lauren shrugged and said with a disappointed look on his face.

"Tsk, tsk, what a pity. You know I have always supported the Republican Party."

Sitwell raised his eyebrows a few times, took two steps back, mentally scolded himself for talking too much, and then quickly said, "Go quickly, the big boss has been waiting for you all morning."

The plot of X-Men has started?

Lauren curled her lips, wondering if she could get some benefit from it, and took the elevator directly to the top floor of the Tri-Wing Building.

Snake Shield Bureau has a clear hierarchy. The higher the office, the higher the level.

"Boom boom boom!"

"The door is open!"

Lauren opened the door. In the office, Alexander Pierce, who was wearing a gray three-piece suit, was standing in front of the window with a cigar in his mouth. Nick Fury was generally called the director in SHIELD, and Security Minister Pierce was called the big boss.

"minister."

Laurent slandered in his heart

"Smoking is not allowed in the Three-Curve Wing Building? Isn't a cigar smoke?...Obviously only state officials are required to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps."

Looking up at Lauren who came in, Pierce reached out and gestured to the chair in front of the desk, then sat down himself and asked with a smile.

"How is the mission?"

"very smooth."

Lauren took out a document and a small box containing three and a half bottles of perfect blood from his briefcase, placed them on the desk in front of Pierce, and said concisely, "Mission report July 2003, 7."

Pierce nodded with satisfaction and put the boxes and documents directly into his magical little drawer without looking through the mission report.

Lauren pouted, and I knew it.

This thing is just like summer vacation homework, as long as there is writing, will anyone read it?

After that, he had nothing to do with Lauren.

The whereabouts of Perfect Blood? secret.

What research are you involved in? secret.

Who is responsible? secret.

The systems of SHIELD and Hydra are like this. Each is only responsible for its own part, and only the highest authority can check all tasks. Maybe Lauren can meet the person in charge of the Perfect Blood Project in the cafeteria for lunch, but there is no mutual understanding between them. But he didn't know it at all.

Pierce tapped the newspaper on the table, with the same exaggerated shock, and said, "Have you read today's newspaper? What do you think?"

"Lame frame-up!"

Lauren said without hesitation.

If the mutant organization really wanted to assassinate the president, the vice president and his wife would probably be standing at the door of the White House by now, crying and starting their inaugural speech.

According to the U.S. Constitution, if something unexpected happens to the president, the vice president will temporarily act as president until the next election.

Since mutants attacked the Congressional meeting in New York in 2000, the number of mutants has increased in the past three years. Almost every month, anti-mutant demonstrations take place in various states across the United States, and various related letters are like a snowflake. flew into the White House, but the president has yet to sign the mutant registration bill. Why?

Feeling compassionate?

Equality for all?

Nonsense.

It's not because of the two elders of the mutants, Xuan Ming.

Magneto and Professor

Therefore, no matter how loud the public's voice is, the President of the United States will not dare to attack mutants rashly.

Although Magneto is still imprisoned underground in the Pentagon, Professor

As long as these two Optimus Pillars do not fall, mutants will have no worries about survival.

"Mutants have no reason to take action, and no reason to fail."

Lauren said confidently.

"Smart judgment..."

Pierce smiled appreciatively and said

"However, politicians pursue interests, not truth and falsehood. This president's term is coming soon, and polls show that his support rate is not very high. He needs to make some big moves during his term to increase public support. "

“If you don’t make big moves, they will often lead to big trouble.”

He took a puff of the cigar and exhaled a stream of fragrant smoke.

"The Council just spoke to me. The Federal Councilor used very sharp words and asked SHIELD to assist in investigating this egregious...mutant assassination case."

Lauren blinked her eyes...

Is this all finalized?

What a serious crime!

The President of the United States seems to be determined to use mutants in exchange for the next four years of his term.

Are you talking to me about this now?

It seems that a big pie is going to fall on my head!

Pierce pulled out a note with an address and phone number from the drawer, smiled and said, "Lauren, it's up to you to assist in the investigation of this matter."

"minister…"

Lauren tentatively said to Pierce, "With all due respect, my mission level is only level five, which is not enough to handle such a major case."

Pierce raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"I'm not asking you to investigate. After the assassination, the president met with General Ross and Colonel Stryker from the Military Scientific Research Department, and appointed Colonel Stryker to handle the assassination."

Lauren curled her lips and murmured in her heart: What a genius for accepting his fate. If he checks himself, whatever he can find out is the devil. What is the situation of the case? Isn't it Stryker's decision?

Or was the president directly involved in the planning of this matter?

Probably.

"SHIELD's mission this time is just to supervise. The military's Weapon He couldn’t clean up the mess, so in the end we had to clean up the mess.”

The implication is obvious, SHIELD's mission?

Well, that means there is also a Hydra mission?

Pierce smiled and pressed the button on the table. An invisible electronic barrier was raised in the office, which can completely isolate any possible eavesdropping equipment. All offices of SHIELD personnel above level seven have this equipment.

"Now I'm talking to you in another identity."

Laurent quickly stood up and stood in a military posture, with his body straight and his expression as solemn as he wanted. He was like a brick in Hydera, and could be moved wherever needed.

"Hail Hydra!"

Hydra is the name given to members of the organization.

Outsiders and enemies call it Hydra, with some contempt.

"sit!"

Pierce said with a smile.

"Mutants are a big topic, but that's not my direction. However, the Snake Party is very interested in Adamantium Alloy and requested our assistance."

Pierce is the nominal supreme leader of Hydra. In fact, each branch basically operates independently. Pierce is willing to help the Snake Party obtain Adamantium alloy. It is estimated that the Snake Party has also paid a certain price.

Adamantium alloy?

Laurent narrowed his eyes slightly and made a phone call frantically in his mind, praising the wise boss.

He reached out and took the note on the table. After remembering the content on it, he swallowed it and said excitedly.

"I understand, Director, I promise to complete the mission."

"Good job."

Pierce stood up and patted Laurent on the shoulder. He instantly changed from a majestic leader to a kind elder and said with a smile.

"Your father will be proud of you when he sees your achievements."

Lauren's father, Pierce's comrade-in-arms when he was the federal ambassador to foreign countries, was shot and killed in a terrorist attack to protect Pierce. Pierce took good care of Lauren after returning to the country. After Lauren graduated from college, he personally served as his guide, He leads into the Hydra organization.

If this were not the case, Lauren, a small level five agent, would not have the opportunity to report missions directly to the top boss of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Before Lauren entered this body, little Lauren's worship of Pierce was almost to the point of treating him like a god, and he probably wouldn't hesitate to kill himself with a bullet.

Does it sound like a dead soldier raised in ancient times?

Loren believed that there were definitely more than one or two people like him under Pierce.

And now?

Ha ha……

Lauren said loudly, "Promise to complete the mission."

Pierce nodded and laughed with satisfaction.

Laurent saw this and said

"Minister, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Pierce nodded, and Lauren saluted and left.

SHIELD's administrative department and field department are all above ground, while all scientific research, technology, and materials-related departments are set up underground. After all, even if Hydra is put aside, SHIELD itself has a lot of shady things.

Ding!

Lauren took the elevator to the fifth floor. The elevators slowly opened, and a girl with very beautiful big eyes, round glasses, and Irish-standard red hair stood at the door menacingly.

Lauren blinked, as if she had forgotten something yesterday.

"Hi Emma!"

"Lauren Strike..."

Her voice was enough to make everyone around her look sideways. Emma waved the two movie tickets in her hand and said angrily.

"You invited me to watch a movie, but... in the end, you made me wait in the cinema for two and a half hours like a fool, and even took a taxi home in the heavy rain..."

"...Oh my god! Emma! My lucky lady!"

In a very short tenth of a second, Lauren rushed forward, hugged the red-haired girl tightly, and said sincere thanks in her ear.

"A top-secret mission. If it weren't for the invisible umbrella you gave me, I'm afraid you would have seen me at the mourning meeting today..."

"Ah...are you injured?"

Emma opened her mouth and was immediately diverted by the dangerous atmosphere created by Lauren.

"Don't worry! I'm protected by the goddess of luck."

Lauren shrugged her nose and whispered into Emma's sensitive ear, "You sprayed the perfume I gave you...it matches you very well..."

"A lot of people are watching!"

Emma's face was flushed and she whispered like a mosquito.

Laurent glanced at the colleagues around him, and the originally quiet office suddenly became busy and noisy.

"Go to my house at night? I changed to a new mattress..."

"Um…"

With a flushed face, Emma nodded, lowered her head and quickly walked into the elevator, and then pressed the button on the negative seventh floor where the technical department was located.

The colleagues around him gave Lauren a thumbs up in admiration.

"Lauren Strike, it's work time now."

Sitwell poked his bare head out of the office and looked at Lauren helplessly.

"Believe me, everyone would rather let me sacrifice some of my working time than make Emma angry."

Laurent said to his immediate boss with a sincere face.

"..."

S.H.I.E.L.D. has a huge department system, and there are even some departments that Lauren has never interacted with until now, but only the technical department, which is the most diligent department in which Lauren works.

One-third of the models in Lauren's model space come from the technical department. As they go back and forth, they "accidentally" hook up with talented girls from the technical department.

Regarding this incident, all the members of Sitwell's action team were running around celebrating, and the members of other teams were even more jealous.

After all, since the two of them got together, for Lauren's safety, little beauty Emma has often brought new products from the technical department here, euphemistically calling them performance tests.

As a colleague of Luo Lun, he could benefit more or less.

For field agents who often face danger, one more technological weapon may be able to save a small life in adversity.
