Chapter 135: War is about to begin

At the same time, in the laboratory in the Harbor District, Fu Qinghai was talking on the phone with Dr. Zora.

"So, am I right, Doctor?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, then he said slowly:

"Quentin, I can only tell you the answer to this question if you come to me in person."

Fu Qinghai sensed something different in Dr. Zora's words.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"Okay, I'll be right over."

The person on the other end of the phone said,

"I'll send you a new address. This is our new base."

"OK."

Fu Qinghai hung up the phone and looked at Mrs. Viper who was tied to a chair.

She had been tied here all night.

I can't keep her tied up forever, right? What should I do with her?

Kill her?

I just don't know if Madame Viper is still considered a member of Hydra in the samsara world. What if she is still a member of the Hydra Supreme Council in the samsara world? If I kill her, won't I lose assimilation points?

"What do you think I should do with you, ma'am?"

Fu Qinghai smacked his lips and asked.

"Humph, of course you let me go. This is your only choice."

Madam Viper snorted.

Fu Qinghai asked casually:

"Why is it the only option? If I hand you over to Baron Strucker and tell him what you did, do you think the Baron will reward me or even give me the Super Soldier Serum in advance?"

"Haha." Madam Viper laughed. "Don't forget that I am still a member of the Hydra Supreme Council. I have worked for Hydra for decades. I have merits, connections, and a solid foundation. Do you think Baron Strucker will believe the one-sided words of a temporary mercenary like you, or will he believe me?"

"You are a Hydra warrior, but you kidnapped a member of the Hydra Supreme Council. Do you think they will hold you accountable?"

Mrs. Viper was very imposing, as if Fu Qinghai was the one tied to the chair at this moment.

However, she did remind Fu Qinghai that a reincarnation like her who suddenly appeared and whose background was unknown would probably not be trusted much in the eyes of Hydra.

You can't kill him, so just let him go?

That won't work. I still remember when you stepped on my face with your high heels.

"That's it." Fu Qinghai thought for a long time and said seriously:

"Ma'am, if you provide me with a few rare poison formulas, or finished poisons produced by your superpowers, the matter between us will be written off. I can give you a chance to be free."

It is said that Madame Viper's ability to stay young forever and to make poison was given to her by the god of the underworld, Sithon. Sithon is a big shot in the Marvel multiverse, the one who gave Scarlet Witch power. His status among gods is higher than that of Dormammu, Mephisto and the like.

"We're done with each other? Shouldn't I be the one to say this? Also, what do you mean by 'chance'? Shouldn't you just let me go?"

Mrs. Viper was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

Fu Qinghai did not answer her question, but shrugged and changed the subject:

"You drank so much gin from yesterday to today, your bladder must be very uncomfortable now, right?"

"You…" Mrs. Viper's face turned pale.

Fu Qinghai didn't give Mrs. Viper a sip of water yesterday, but fed her Gin directly.

Gin is a kind of medicinal wine among foreign liquors. It was first invented for the purpose of clearing heat and promoting diuresis.

Let the noble, arrogant and domineering Mrs. Viper become incontinent and urinate in front of me in her evening dress?

Tsk tsk, it's really... exciting to think about it.

…

Fu Qinghai upgraded his armor last night.

The hardware has been slightly adjusted and the software has been extensively updated.

A new generation of Blue Shell 2.0 beta. powered armor.

Wearing the bone-white armor that had been fully updated, Fu Qinghai picked up his weapon, called Ron back, and the two drove to the address given by Dr. Zora.

Just outside of New York.

An open base of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Triskelion Headquarters Base of S.H.I.E.L.D. is famous in both movies and TV series.

This is not only the headquarters base of S.H.I.E.L.D., but also the headquarters of the Global Security Council.

Are they so direct and not hiding anything at all, Fu Qinghai thought.

Poor Nick Fury, even his office was taken away.

The gate opened directly and a heavy truck drove into the base. Fu Qinghai parked the truck in the parking lot, got out with Ron, and walked towards the towering metal and glass building standing between the lawn and the lake. This open base was different from those secret bases. It had beautiful scenery, pleasant environment and a wide view.

On the surface, newcomers to the reincarnation world who are unaware of the inside story would think that Hydra is gaining the upper hand. After all, even Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., faked his death and went underground. Now, Hydra people are planted in various governments, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Global Security Council.

Why do the Reincarnators and Madame Viper still believe that Hydra is on the verge of collapse?

As mentioned before, the American comic universe is actually a world dominated by people with super powers.

Although ordinary people's governments, institutions, and associations will create great constraints for superheroes, most superheroes are just vigilantes outside the law and do not have the ability to compete with a modern army.

However, leaving aside the full-scale hot war, in the secret underground confrontation and cold war, the number and quality of people with super powers are the key to determining victory or defeat.

The reality, according to feedback from the reincarnations in the same camp, is that Hydra's secret bases around the world are losing ground.

As the two were about to enter the building, a man in a suit at the door reached out and stopped Fu Qinghai and the others. He lowered his voice and said,

"I'm sorry, Mr. Quentin, the doctor only invited you to come, and... representatives of various governments and dignitaries of the Global Security Council often come in and out here, so you'd better not bring weapons with you."

Fu Qinghai and Ron looked at each other.

Fu Qinghai thought about it, and a voice came from the loudspeaker:

"Okay, Ron, you go back first with my weapon."

After saying that, he handed the truck keys, power sword and composite bolter to Ron beside him.

"Okay," Ron replied.

What surprised the man in the suit was that this seemingly thin, brown-haired, freckled man caught the two weapons that looked huge and heavy at once, without any effort at all, and then turned and left.

"Um, the armor..."

The man in the suit hesitated to speak.

Fu Qinghai turned his head and said coldly:

"I won't take off my armor, you can reply directly to Dr. Zora."

The man in the suit was startled when he was swept by Fu Qinghai's cold and scarlet eyepiece, and he quickly said,

"Uh, ok."

Fu Qinghai followed the man in the suit through numerous security gates, various complex vertical elevators and horizontal elevators, and arrived at a spacious underground base that was as big as a square.

Here, ground vehicles and maintenance personnel are coming and going everywhere, welding sparks are flashing from time to time, and three black and gray aerospace motherships are undergoing final maintenance and overhaul.

Countless suspended steel bridges surrounded the three aerospace motherships in the middle, and Fu Qinghai was on one of the bridges at this time.

Fu Qinghai looked at the three giant aerospace carriers, secretly evaluating the anti-gravity engines they used and comparing them with the anti-gravity engines of the Human Empire in Warhammer 40K.

Fu Qinghai's old habit came back again. When he saw high-tech, he couldn't help but want to take it for himself.

In the movie setting, once the aerospace carrier is launched, it does not need to come down again and can float in the suborbital space forever. The energy consumption is not clear for the time being, but the technology of floating permanently in the atmosphere can be regarded as a lost technology in the human empire.

According to historical records in the library of the Gladius frigate, during the War of Unification when the Emperor unified Terra, there were many technological barbarian warlords on Earth. Among them was a force called the "Roman Swarm", which was a group of interceptors that always floated in the air and never landed, and their pilots.

On the steel covered bridge, two people walked towards Fu Qinghai.

A man in a suit was holding a laptop, and next to him was a thin young Asian man with a defiant look.

The man in the suit walked up to Fu Qinghai and opened the screen of the laptop in his hand. A chubby face with round glasses appeared on the screen. It was Dr. Zora.

Why didn't he just drive his robot body over here?

Oh, maybe because the Triskelion Base still officially belongs to SHIELD, and many low-level SHIELD employees don't even know who they work for, Dr. Zola can't be so arrogant.

On the screen, Dr. Zora said:

"Quentin, welcome to the Triskelion Base. Here, I will reveal to you the Insight Project that Baron Strucker and I have been planning for a long time."

"Yes, I'd like to hear more about it, Doctor."

Fu Qinghai's voice through the loudspeaker was low and slightly distorted.

The man in the suit carried a laptop and took Fu Qinghai to visit the aerospace mothership. The three of them walked side by side, chatting as they walked.

Dr. Zola introduced:

"Your guess is correct, Quentin. The so-called 'Insight Project' is to analyze each person's experience and information to predict whether he will pose a threat to the stable order in the future. If there is a threat, the aerospace carrier will be used to eliminate it before the threat occurs."

"To put it in detail, it is to predict a person's future through his past behavior, including what he said, the books he read, the music he listened to, the movies he watched, the clubs he joined, the social media he posted, liked, and forwarded, the emails he sent, every phone call, every text message, circle of activities, professional attributes, educational background, medical conditions, blood type and zodiac sign, etc."

"And this prediction is the core of Project Insight, which relies on the algorithm program I have devoted my time to researching - the Zora Algorithm."

"Of course, I also have to thank my friend for his help. Without the initial algorithm program he provided, I would not have been able to create the Zora algorithm so quickly."

As Dr. Zola spoke, the man in the suit pointed at the defiant young man next to him. The young man raised his chin and looked at the tall, heavily armored warrior next to him. He snorted slightly with complacency, but had no intention of introducing himself.

Dr. Zola continued:

"If the predicted results are not what we expect, then these people will be 'cleansed' to ensure that Hydra's will is implemented and the perpetrators will be eliminated before any action that is detrimental to Hydra occurs."

It was indeed the insight plan in the movie, and it was exactly the same as what the pink-haired girl Zofia had speculated, Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

Fu Qinghai turned his head to look at the young man next to the man in the suit and asked in a low voice through the loudspeaker:

"Reincarnation?"

The young man raised his lips and showed a Nike smile like a dragon king. He did not directly answer Fu Qinghai's question, but looked ahead and said calmly:

"There are many people who only know how to fight and kill, like a brainless reckless man, but they don't know that this game... is not played like this. I don't need to go to those places with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Naturally, I have a way to turn the tide!"

Oh, really?

Fu Qinghai remained calm and did not comment.

Looking at this young man with a defiant face showing a sense of satisfaction of planning behind the scenes and immersed in his own persona of a military advisor, Fu Qinghai still had many questions that he had not figured out for the time being, so he just smiled and didn't say much.

Although I don't know how this person got in touch with Dr. Zora in the first place, and he seems to be deeply trusted by Dr. Zora, it's just his mouth... He started with a map cannon, mocking all the reincarnations in the Hydra camp.

It seems that it is useless for other reincarnations in the same camp to fight to the death in front. If the reincarnations under Baron Zemo hear this, even Dr. Zora may not be able to protect you. Fu Qinghai thought.

Dr. Zora in the middle didn't understand what "reincarnation" meant. He asked in confusion:

"Jiang Zhe, Quentin, do you know each other?"

Fu Qinghai shook his head and said,

"I don't know him. Doctor, I still have a lot of questions. For example, how does this 'Insight Project' lock on to each person? Satellite positioning? Facial recognition? Or DNA or something like that?"

Fu Qinghai remembered that in the TV series "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", the aerospace carrier locked onto its target by relying on a pre-launched super satellite called "Lemuria", but here, he didn't know what the principle was.

This is also what Fu Qinghai couldn't figure out when he watched movies in his previous life: Why would people hiding in the house be locked in? Why would people who don't use any Internet-connected electronic devices be locked in?

Of course, there are other questions, such as why do you think the Insight Project can turn the tide? Fu Qinghai also needs to confirm these questions with Dr. Zora one by one.

Dr. Zora said,

"Quentin, your question is about specific technical details. It's actually very simple. I just need to temporarily activate the subsystem of the helicarrier and demonstrate it to you."

On the left and right sides of the steel corridor are two rows of the aerospace mothership's undermount machine guns, and at this moment, all of these machine guns have their muzzles drooping downwards.

As he spoke, I don't know what Dr. Zola did over there, a cold voice sounded over the underground base's radio:

"Insight, activate."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Splash, splash, splash!"

The rows of four-barreled machine guns on both sides of the corridor bridge were suddenly raised and aimed at Fu Qinghai.

"Beep beep, red alert, threat target has been selected."

The cold broadcasting room continued.

???

The three people present were all stunned.

"You, you you…"

The man in a suit holding the laptop computer stepped back in surprise, but found that the muzzle of the machine gun did not move as he retreated, so he quickly retreated to the side.

The young man named "Jiang Zhe" was also stunned. He did not expect this to happen. He shouted:

"Are you an undercover agent of SHIELD!?"

After shouting, he also retreated quickly, fearing that he would be accidentally hit by the machine gun, and also afraid that this heavily armored soldier would be desperate and die with him.

Fu Qinghai was also a little confused. He turned around and looked at the machine guns aimed at him. After a second, he suddenly laughed:

"Dr. Zola, there must be something wrong with your algorithm. A big problem."

On the laptop screen, Dr. Zola's expression was also very surprised. He was stunned for several seconds before saying:

"No, Quentin, my algorithm will never be wrong. I, Amni Zola, am the greatest scientist in the history of Hydra. If Zola's algorithm says that you are a threat to Hydra, then you are definitely a threat. Even if you are not a threat now, you will be a threat in the future!"

At this time, two men in black suddenly walked over from both sides of the steel corridor.

A man wearing a black lapel woolen windbreaker and a purple hood with only his two eyes exposed.

A man wearing a big black leather jacket like the SS, with a bald head, a hooked nose, and a monocle in his eye sockets.

Baron Zemo and Baron Strucker themselves also came.

Baron Stark looked at the tense situation in front of him and asked in a deep voice:

"Zora, what's going on? Project Insight is about to be launched in fifteen minutes. Why do you want to activate the weapon subsystem of the aerospace carrier in advance?"

When the young man Jiang Zhe saw the two high-ranking bosses of the Hydra Supreme Council coming, he quickly put away the rebelliousness on his face, bowed and saluted, and said respectfully:

"baron."

Dr. Zora replied in a deep voice:

"Quentin, according to the Zora algorithm, is a high-threat target that needs to be purged."

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Fu Qinghai couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Baron Zemo and Baron Strucker looked at him at the same time, wondering why this unarmed man surrounded by a bunch of large-caliber machine guns could still laugh.

The tall white-armored warrior in front of him suddenly opened his arms when faced with the four-barreled machine guns aimed at him.

The armor on his body instantly opened layer by layer like blooming petals. The ceramic-steel composite armor plate was lifted up, revealing the sophisticated and complex living metal mechanical structure inside. The living metal also squirmed and spread out, and finally all opened up, and a black-haired woman in a dark green evening dress and dark green high heels walked out.

Madame Viper stepped gracefully out of the activated power armor. Surprisingly, the four-barreled machine guns on both sides of the steel corridor moved with Madame Viper's movement, locking onto her firmly.

Madam Viper looked coldly at Dr. Zora on the laptop screen and said coldly,

"Amni Zora, I think you just want me to die."

On the screen, Dr. Zora's fat white face with round glasses froze.

Baron Stark looked at the magical scene in front of him, his face full of disbelief and question marks.

Only Baron Zemo frowned as he watched the scene, his hand touching his chin, as if thinking about something.

Baron Strucker is the leader of Hydra, and he is not stupid. In that instant, countless possibilities flashed through his mind.

Mrs. Viper had already had second thoughts, and the big data of Zora's algorithm captured clues?

Did Dr. Zola add his own agenda to the algorithm, hoping to eliminate dissidents when the Insight Project was launched?

Wasn't Quentin recruited by Dr. Zola? Why did he target his armor in the first place?

Why did Lady Viper appear in Quentin's armor, and what was their relationship?

The situation was so complicated that even Baron Strucker was confused.

At this moment, the Baron had only one thought: this team is going to be difficult to lead.

At this time, in the laboratory in the Haigang District, Fu Qinghai was wearing a pair of VR glasses on his head, lying in front of the laboratory table, laughing so hard that his stomach hurt.

However, when Mrs. Viper walked out of the armor and the machine gun still followed her movement, Fu Qinghai let out a "Huh".

Could it be that... Madame Viper is also in your plan, Dr. Zora?

In the Triskelion underground base, the situation was somewhat stalemate for a while, and suddenly, a large ball of explosion and fire broke out at the entrance of the underground base.

"boom--"

A big hole was blown in the steel gate. The muscular man in blue clothes and round shield took the lead and rushed to the front, shouting:

"Great, Zemo and Strucker are here too, catch them!"

Behind him, a group of people in different clothes rushed in, shouting and following Captain America.

Baron Strucker saw this and shouted,

"Zora, I don't care what personal grudges you have with Ophelia. Order the aerospace carrier to take off urgently and start the Insight Project directly!"

Dr. Zora on the screen responded:

"receive."

After saying that, the screen went black and the picture went out.

Immediately afterwards, the entire underground base began to shake, the huge anti-gravity turbines on the wings of the three aerospace motherships began to rotate, the anti-gravity engines started, and began to slowly break free from the iron frame and the restraints of gravity. The emergency lights on the corridor bridge flashed continuously, and the maintenance ground crew evacuated in a hurry. Concrete blocks and steel bars continued to fall from the dome of the underground base, and from time to time, ground crew vehicles fell off the steel corridor bridge to avoid falling objects and plunged into the deep pit.

When Mrs. Viper saw Dr. Zora leaving, she snorted coldly, rolled over and fell off the guardrail of the steel bridge, hooked one hand on the iron frame, stepped on the steel pipe, hid under the steel bridge, and quickly left.

I don't have time to confront you, Zora, right now. I'm dying of piss, I need to find a toilet right away, Mrs. Viper thought.

Similarly, Baron Zemo and Baron Strucker knew that they were now alone and that the other side was more numerous and well-prepared, so they were definitely no match for them. After ordering the helicarrier to take off, they hurriedly fled to the other side of the bridge.

On the corridor bridge, the armor plates of the Blue Shell Power Armor closed layer by layer. The empty power armor looked around, and also fell backwards from the corridor bridge, smashing into a deep pit. Then he climbed up in a cloud of dust, lifted the cement blocks covering his body, and ran towards the exit as if nothing had happened.

Captain America, who led a group of reincarnations and superheroes into the underground base, was equally calm and composed. He gave the order in a deep voice:

"Team A, Team B, Team C, go and stop the aerospace carrier from taking off. No matter what means you use, don't let them open fire."

"receive!"

"Team D, follow me and capture Zemo and Strucker!"

"Roger that, Captain!"

In the complex corridors and passages, the superheroes and reincarnations from the S.H.I.E.L.D. camp split into four groups and dispersed.

In the laboratory of the Harbor District, Fu Qinghai took off the VR glasses on his head and recalled the last picture he had just seen - the woman in a green cape and tights floating behind Captain America.

Fu Qinghai ordered:

"Qingming, meet up with Ron first, then find a place to hide and wait for my arrival."

"Received, Master."

A mechanical female voice rang out from the computer speakers.

Fu Qinghai stood up from the ergonomic chair, picked up Zhang Yuning who had been sitting on his lap, lowered his head and kissed her gently on the lips, and said:

"I'm going over there."

Zhang Yuning hooked her elbows around Fu Qinghai's neck, raised her head and asked softly:

"Do you want me to come too?"

Fu Qinghai shook his head:

"No, you stay in the old house and guard our safe house. If things fail, that will be our last resort."

"Um."

Zhang Yuning released her hands that were hooked around Fu Qinghai's neck.

Fu Qinghai set off in a hurry.

Fu Qinghai can indeed remotely control the Blue Shell Power Armor, but not to mention that the current artificial intelligence is not smart enough and can only serve as a decision-making aid and cannot fight independently.

Even if they can fight independently, without the enhancement of the electronic muscle fiber bundles worn by an Astartes, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

What's more, Fu Qinghai is now remotely controlling the power armor through satellite signals. What if the enemy cuts off or blocks the signal link through some hacking technology?

After all, it is safer to stay in the armor.

The strongest fighting state is when the man and armor become one!

　Thanks to clown mask xhh for the reward.

　　In the previous chapter, there was a boring little easter egg.

　　The reincarnation of the ghost doll is called Upton DuPont. I have always emphasized that his material is synthetic resin. DuPont is a long-established American chemical giant that invented neoprene and nylon. The chapter is called "The Adventures of DuPont", which pays tribute to the DuPont detective duo in The Adventures of Tintin, which a book friend mentioned.
