Chapter 905

"First of all, the ones who like to reveal their identity before committing a crime are the Brotherhood of Mutants. Their goal is to demonstrate to ordinary people and the managers of society, in order to fight for the rights of mutants."

"But for so many years, they have never targeted S. H. I. E. L. D., because they know S. H. I. E. L. D. is not like ordinary government agencies that can't do anything about them; we have the Avengers."

"Moreover, it's useless for them to demonstrate to us. We cannot formulate policies, and we can hardly change the current survival status of mutants. Provoking us is completely counterproductive."

"If Magneto came in person, he would very likely take all the equipment away instead of blowing it up. Magneto is not lacking in this ability; he could even directly open a portal and let all the equipment fly in by itself. This is not difficult for him."

"All along, the situation of mutants has not been good enough. They wouldn't leave so many advanced and dangerous weapons unused and instead blow them up; this is completely not cost-effective and could also trigger our strong backlash."

"But if it's not the Brotherhood of Mutants, then why did they specifically leave behind traces of mutants?"

Nick turned his head to glance at Seeing Natasha and said, "I am not blaming you, Seeing Natasha. In your career as an agent, there have been very few times when you were this disheveled, but the other side is clearly also malicious."

"You are a super soldier, but after all, you excel in strength and combat, and you don't have vision that exceeds ordinary people. And in that critical situation at the time, you were still able to see the traces of mutants, which shows that it is very likely the other side let you see them..."

"We have encountered this kind of tactic many times: deliberately disguising an incident as something mysterious and strange, and then revealing a few flaws, so that the blame can be pinned on the other side."

Schiller walked up and said, "You mean, someone wants to frame the mutants? Who would do such a thing?"

"Who else could it be?" Nick looked at the equipment that had already been scrapped with a gloomy face. The words "heart is dripping blood" were already written on his face. He said, "Who hates mutants the most? Who most hopes that mutants have more enemies? Who most hopes that the Avengers can go deal with mutants?"

"You mean, that group of anti-mutant activists?" Captain America spoke up and said, "Their behavior is unjust; genocide is extremely evil!"

"Such people have always existed within the Congress and the military." Iron Man said in a tone of some disgust, "They have turned anti-mutant sentiment into a business, sparing no cost for it. It's truly disgusting."

Spider-Man squatted on the side and said in a tone of some sorrow, "These are all precious achievements of human scientific civilization, and they were just destroyed by them like this. Originally, if research could have continued, perhaps something very powerful could have really been developed, but now..."

"They must pay the price!" Nick said with a gloomy face, "Mutants are an object we should unite; they are a part of humanity and can provide extremely favorable help on our path toward the stars and the sea."

Speaking of this, Nick glanced at Schiller and then continued, "We cannot let that group of idiots hold us back. Avengers, prepare yourselves; we are going to settle accounts with them!"

But just at this moment, Schiller's phone suddenly rang. After he answered the call, he said, "Hello?... Yes, I am... What did you say? Two of our laboratories in Boston have been attacked?? Okay, I understand, I'll be there immediately!"

Schiller hung up the phone and said to Nick with a gloomy face, "It's bad, Director. The laboratories for the two medical research projects I am responsible for have been attacked. Ward from the field team called me and said the research team has suffered heavy losses!"

"Get on the plane!" Nick's complexion grew darker and darker. With a wave of his hand, he led everyone to board the plane again and flew toward Boston.

Boston is located in the northeast of New York, but it is a certain distance from the southern part of Pennsylvania where the Avengers were. After a period of flight, stepping onto the land of Boston, the chill coming from the wind indicated that the latitude here was higher.

Quickly rushing to the laboratory where the incident occurred, the laboratory was still in the underground of the suburbs. Just after walking down the stairs, Ward greeted them. He still carried a lingering smell of blood on his body. He kept a straight face as usual and said, "I am very sorry, Director, I arrived too late!"

"What happened?" Nick's eyebrows furrowed deeply. Ward led the few people to walk inside. Not long after walking in, they saw several corpses lying at the entrance of the office.

Their state of death was very peculiar; their limbs seemed to have been suddenly twisted, not a single bone was intact, and blood was splashed all over the room.

Ward led everyone to the laboratory at the very end. A shivering researcher was squatting in the innermost part of the laboratory. After Ward walked in, he said, "Andrew, the Director of S. H. I. E. L. D. is here. Tell him, what did you see?"

Andrew stood up somewhat tremblingly. Nick walked up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be afraid, the superheroes of the Avengers will uphold justice for you. Tell us, who did it?"

"Two young people with blonde hair, two... two demons..." Andrew said intermittently, "We were originally conducting a potion experiment, and they suddenly rushed in..."

"The security personnel at the entrance seemed to have been controlled by them and fired at us. They themselves also seemed to be able to control the air, oh, no, it might be that they could control kinetic energy, and they could also trigger explosions. They rushed in, took all the experimental potions, and then left..."

"The moment I heard the movement, I hid in the safe room, so I wasn't discovered by them, and that's how I survived. I saw with my own eyes that the moment they held hands, it triggered a huge explosion, right in that laboratory opposite, you can go take a look..."

Following the direction Andrew pointed, Nick walked over and discovered that the laboratory opposite had been blown to pieces. Besides fragments of equipment scattered on the ground, the walls and the ground were also charred black, exactly the same as the previous warehouse.

"I saw that the two of them seemed to be twins, looking very much alike, and both of them seemed to have special abilities. That boy seemed to be able to control people's minds, the girl could fire air cannons with her hands, and after the two combined, they could trigger explosions. They are simply devils..."

At this time, Captain America seemed to have remembered something. He whispered a name: "Baron Strucker..."

"What did you say? Steve?" Nick's face showed confusion, and he turned his head to look at Captain America.

"Baron Strucker and his children." Captain America repeated. He said, "Strucker, a white supremacist, a NAZI, a believer in extreme violence. He used genetic modification on his twin children, allowing them to possess the abilities of mutants."

"In the years I fought against Hydra, he was an extremely difficult enemy. I originally thought I had already killed him, but... how could the Fenris Twins appear here?"

"They are Hydra???" Nick narrowed his eyes. He turned his head to look at Schiller. Who knew, Schiller also showed a confused expression.

He raised an eyebrow at Nick, signaling him to go to the side to talk. After Nick followed him over, Schiller lowered his voice and said, "He is a person from the German headquarters, a true Nazi. Hydra is just a tool for him to realize that evil ideal. He is afraid he has a bigger plot,..."

"Then you..." Nick had just said this when his phone rang again. After he answered it, he said, "What did you say? The Avengers base was attacked??!! Damn it, are they crazy? Return to New York immediately!!"

The few people hurriedly flew back to New York and met Ma Te in the chaotic Avengers base. Ma Te was not injured. He said, "I arrived a bit late. They took some things from here, but fortunately, there were no casualties."

"What did they take?" Nick asked.

"The deployment map of the Avengers in New York." Ma Te looked at the filing cabinet next to him and said, "But it's not anything very important, at most just a few cameras. Before they left, I heard a slogan, the one you are all familiar with—'Hail Hydra'."

Captain America slammed the table hard and said, "It really is them! The lingering Hydra!"

Nick walked up and patted him on the shoulder. In a place Schiller couldn't see, he gave him a wink. Captain America sighed and said, "Someone must have leaked our information to them. Perhaps it was done by that group of anti-mutant activists..."

"I think you are a bit arbitrary." Iron Man hurriedly spoke up and said, "Perhaps it's several different forces, but we must make them pay the price..."

"I will lead the matter of dealing with Hydra." Captain America immediately spoke up, and then he looked at Nick again and continued, "You and Tony should be able to deal with those guys holding us back internally..."

And at this time, Coulson picked up the phone again and said, "Hello? What did you say? Our bases in 22 states have all been attacked?? Requesting reinforcements?? Okay, I understand, I will tell the Director immediately..."

"Director, those important bases in New Mexico have been attacked. They might be trying to seize the Helicarrier. The base's defenses are sufficient, so they are holding off the attackers and are requesting reinforcements. We must go there immediately!"

"Captain America, you and Coulson go there. Tony, we still..."

Coulson glanced at his phone again and said, "No, Director, our two strongholds in Toronto have also been attacked. The other side also sent a request for reinforcements. Those are two underwater warehouses..."

"Alright, Tony, you go to Toronto. Then the matter in New York State will be handled by me, Spider-Man, and Schiller..."

The few people quickly formulated a tactical plan and then acted separately. Schiller and Nick returned to S. H. I. E. L. D., but Spider-Man said, "I haven't been home for a long time. My uncle and aunt might be a bit worried. I might have to..."

"Go, Peter." Nick nodded at him and said, "Don't let your family worry. Dr. Schiller and I will wait for you here. After you have handled everything, we will arrange the combat plan near New York."

Schiller also said with concern, "Don't worry, Peter, but before you go back, it's best to give your uncle and aunt a call, so they don't receive too much of a shock if they suddenly see you resurrected from the dead."

Spider-Man nodded and left the base. Just as he was rushing toward Midtown, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the top of the building next to him.

"My god! Spider-Man! It's Spider-Man! But didn't he die?... Quick, quick, quick! Camera! Set up the camera quickly! This might be the debut of the second-generation Spider-Man!"

Spider-Man tilted his head and was dazzled by the light of the lens. When he focused his eyes to look again, he discovered that a film crew was standing on the top of the building next to him. A cameraman was holding a camera aimed at him, intently filming footage related to Spider-Man.

But at this time, a noisy sound suddenly came from the road surface. A black monster jumped out from the intersection, its fangs shining brightly under the sunlight. It let out a terrifying roar:

"Heads!! I want to eat everyone's heads!!!!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Aim the lens there! Spider-Man will definitely go to deal with that monster! We at the Daily Bugle must grab the headline of the second-generation Spider-Man!!"
