At the same time, somewhere in the special zone, a man in a room frowned and turned off the encrypted communicator. He walked out of the room and took the elevator. A black-haired Chinese woman on the elevator saw him and nodded slightly: "Agent Garrett, are you off work?"
John Garrett smiled politely back: "Yes, Agent May."
With this polite sentence, the two of them tacitly looked away and looked at the special zone outside the transparent elevator without saying a word. They were relatively familiar with each other, mainly because Mei was well-known within SHIELD, but she didn't have many personal connections, not even official contacts. Especially since May is now out of the field and now working as a civilian.
Not a good match for John Garrett's department.
With this polite sentence, the two of them tacitly looked away and looked at the DC Special Administrative Region outside the transparent elevator without saying a word. In order to make the silence when going downstairs more normal, the two of them used this simplest courtesy. When the elevator reached the first floor, Mei nodded to him again and walked out.
Garrett relaxed his facial expression slightly. Not only was this woman smart and capable, but she was not on his side. The news just now made him feel a little emotional, and it would be bad if she noticed it. The elevator continues to descend and soon reaches the underground garage. Garrett drove into the car, leaving the Tri-Wing Building behind. Only then did his expression relax, from a slightly relaxed smile to a slightly pursed lips, and his narrowed eyes made his entire face look gloomy.
Mike himself, who died in New York, was nothing to him, just a pawn. But this chess piece is still a successful experiment, and the experimental model of the death warrior he wears is expensive. On the other hand, the life and death of Mike, who installed the experimental model, depended on Garrett's thoughts, because when they installed the experimental machine, they installed the 'Thousand Eye System' in Mike's eyes. Once Mike made any changes, He can activate the self-destruct device and blow this guy's brains into pulp! Therefore, there is no fear of him rebelling, and he also possesses extremely strong combat effectiveness. He is indeed a very useful chess piece with great uses. He can do many things that are inconvenient for him to do.
But such a useful chess piece had to be abandoned... Although I had expected it, I still felt heartbroken.
But soon he won't have to feel so distressed anymore, because the most important basic technology for making death warriors has made new breakthroughs.
The so-called Death Warrior is a secret project within Hydra.
But if you want to get to the bottom of it, this project is not the result of Hydra, but they misappropriated the scientific results of a scientist named Alderez Killian.
Alderez Killian is a mad scientist who specializes in virus research and biotechnology. He is also a huge fan of Tony Stark. But he is not famous in the scientific community, at least not on par with Tony Stark.
Thirteen years ago, Killian accidentally cultivated a virus that did not exist in nature.
After obtaining this achievement, Killian naturally wanted to carry it forward. He imagined that he could use this to reach the top of his life, just like his idol Tony Stark (although Stark did not rely on his own head) To get rich, the family will become the top wealthy family in the United States as soon as someone is born).
But the reality is cruel. Killian used his achievements to attract investment everywhere, but unfortunately... no one was optimistic about the future of this virus. I even think Killian is a delirium talking nonsense. This shocked Killian.
In the end, his laboratory almost went bankrupt at his insistence. Investors were angry at his lack of business, so they decided to withdraw their capital!
He will face a future with nothing.
Killian decided to make a last-ditch effort and found out that Tony Stark would appear at a ball.
So adhering to the fan's beautiful fantasy about his idol, he felt that his invention would definitely attract the attention of Tony Stark.
It's a pity that all fans' views of idols are filtered. Many wishful thinking that their idols are perfect, just look at those young talents who have fallen over recently. Each and every one of them is touted and wished they could become saints. The various characters of academic masters, hard work, dedication, and purity make those fans wishful thinking that their idols are the best, and that the whole world is not as important as him.
That's pretty much how Killian feels about Tony.
But what about reality?
Tony has always been a jerk! It was worse before!
This guy was picking up girls at the time, and basically turned a deaf ear to Killian's words. Best even made a joke to him, saying that Killian's invention was epoch-making, and asked him to wait on the rooftop while they talked in secret...
Then Killian wrote a damn letter!
Anyone who has a little understanding of Tony's character will not be fooled.
So, don’t be a fan of idols, it’s definitely not what you imagine.
Then Killian waited on the rooftop all night in the cold wind of more than ten degrees below zero.
After he was sure that he had been tricked.
At one point, he even wanted to jump off a building and end his life.
But at the last moment, the despair after his hope was shattered caused him to turn black!
He is determined to take revenge!
At this point, we have to mention the vision of Hydra. No one else saw how important Killian's invention was, but they did. To be precise, Garrett saw it, so Hydra Started secretly funding Killian to establish M. Company!
.M., the full name is AdvancedIdeaMechanics, which is translated as Pioneer Technology in Chinese.
Then relying on the energy of Hydra, Killian showed unprecedented energy in the new virus he named 'Extremis Virus'!
After evolving through countless human intervention, the Extremis virus has become a super virus that can strengthen the human body's abilities and repair its own damaged body. Not only the injured Extremis virus vector can also have the ability to regenerate limbs. Ability to generate high heat spontaneously.
This virus can instantly create a batch of super soldiers that can glow, generate heat, have infinite strength, and have extremely strong regenerative capabilities! This is undoubtedly full of temptation, especially in the US military where the super soldier serum project has reached a dead end.
So does Hydra.
Therefore, under the secret operation of Hydra, the U.S. military became the enemy and used their money to help Hydra complete its research.
Of course, this desperate virus is not without limitations, that is, its adaptability is too poor and it has very high requirements on the recipients! Once it fails to fit, it will explode immediately!
If it were just like this, neither Hydra nor the military would care. After all, to them, everything is valuable, but human life is the least valuable!
But the problem is that even those who are qualified will explode due to the extreme instability of the Extremis virus, emotional excitement, or other stimulation, causing the temperature to rise. Quite powerful.
This is terrible, is an imperfect super soldier still a super soldier?
Therefore, the military had to increase investment again, hoping that Kilian could improve this problem.
At first, Killian naturally planned to start with the virus itself and wanted to remove this restriction!
But in the end, nothing was found.
But recently, Killian thought of another solution. Since improvement of the virus itself seems unlikely at present, why not work on the receptor?
Let the receptor adapt to the desperate virus, thereby increasing the success rate.
So Killian found Maya Hansen, an expert in DNA modification, and asked her to help modify the recipient's DNA.
It is said that there has been a breakthrough and they can produce suitable receptors in large quantities! Of course, this 'large batch' is relative to the previous low and pitiful success rate. In the past, there was about one success rate per thousand people, but now it has become a success rate of one percent!
Hydra's Death Warrior is an improved project based on the Extremis virus. This plan was called Project Centipede. They used a special inhibitor to stabilize the instability caused by the Extremis virus. Unfortunately, this thing... was not very successful.
But it doesn't matter, as long as there is a steady supply of desperate fighters, they can definitely develop a solution.
Garrett's car soon arrived at a manor on the outskirts of DC. This was the manor of Alexander Pierce, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Garrett was Alexander's old subordinate, so it was not surprising to meet him, so Garrett walked in with a big show.
Pierce had just turned off the video conference when Garrett came in.
It was just a meeting between the leaders of the Hydra region.
"Fake! These lunatics!"
"Why are those people in France asking you for the obelisk again?" Garrett obviously knew the trouble Alexander was facing now.
It’s not just the U.S. government. Because of the nuclear bomb issue, the relationship between the U.S. government and the Security Council is now very tense. The two sides are fighting openly and secretly, and SHIELD is caught in the middle. In order to maintain SHIELD, Alexander recently I have high blood pressure.
Not to mention, Hydra is not peaceful inside either.
Malik, the leader of Hydra who was far away in France, kept proposing that Alexander hand over the obelisk.
After seeing the battle in New York, the Hydras began to become restless. They felt that Alexander's method was no longer feasible. The world was too dangerous, and they, the Hydras, must master more powerful power!
So they want the obelisk!
The so-called obelisk is a mysterious metal block with obvious traces of artificial processing, but its history is extremely long and can be traced back to the Stone Age! Humans at that time were simply not capable of making metal. So it is speculated to be an alien product.
Before World War II, Hydra unearthed the obelisk. The Red Skull has said that he has the power to "explain death itself." It was stored at Hydra's last known base in Austria in 945, when Hydra prepared to move it. Captain America's old flame, Agent Carter, appears with members of the Howling Commandos and destroys Hydra's last stronghold. The obelisk was also taken back to the "Strategic Science Corps (SSR)" for safekeeping, and has been kept in S.H.I.E.L.D. since then.
"These fundamentalists are all lunatics!" Alexander was particularly troubled by the so-called Malik.
Malik here refers to Gideon Malik, one of the remaining leaders of Hydra from World War II and a member of the World Security Council. Very old qualifications!
When talking about the Malik family, we have to talk about the history of Hydra. The Hydra organization is very special. Anyone familiar with history knows that the Hydra organization built by the Red Skull aims to rule the world. Of course, it is okay to say that Red Skull is the founder of Hydra, but a qualifier needs to be added, that is, the modern Hydra organization!
Why do you say that?
That's because Hydra existed long before the Red Skull, but the purpose of Hydra at that time and the Hydra after that was completely different. The real Hydra organization was not established by the Red Skull, but was funded by major families hidden on the earth. These families are all loyal believers of the Hydra organization. Yes, these families will Snakes are their religion, and their families have been serving Hydra for generations, even sacrificing their own lives.
The earliest origin of the Hydra organization should be considered 1,400 years ago. The purpose of establishing this organization was to welcome back their gods. They believed that when their gods returned, they would be rewarded-the dominance of the entire world. !
So the origin of Hydra is not Red Skull. Red Skull just followed the concept of the hive version of Hydra to build Nazi Hydra. Although the Hydra here is crazy, most of the time it just works for Red Skull. , in order for the Red Skull to rule the world. No matter what the Red Skull wants to do, the Hive Hydra pays the Nazi Hydra to study all ways to bring the Hive back. These families believe that as long as the Hive returns, the world will naturally be ruled by him.
The Red Skull naturally knows this kind of thing, but he doesn't care because he doesn't believe in the so-called God at all! In his opinion, when he rules the world, these idiot families will be useless!
Unfortunately, Red Skull died early.
These family forces still survived and escaped the liquidation after World War II. And they are mainly concentrated in France. France would surrender so happily at the beginning. These guys have done a lot. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the French themselves want to surrender.
It is France after all.
It is also because of this that these people are the faction with the best preserved strength among Hydra!
This gives them a very powerful say within Hydra. Now known as the Fundamentalists of Hydra, they remain committed to bringing their god back.
But in Alexander's eyes, these religious fanatics are all lunatics!
The people inside Hydra naturally know what the so-called god is. It is just an experimental product of aliens! Not even mutants! And it was an experimental product abandoned by the Kree!
This thing is a monster!
Letting an alien monster come back to rule the earth...how many idiots would think of this?
"Forget it, let's not mention him. This time I'm here to find you because of your Thousand Eyes System!"
Garrett looked at Alexander in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"Nick Fury seems to be planning to launch Project Insight!"
