Chapter 21: Strange Whispers

, The Genie Starting from Marvel

Just as he opened his mouth to make a wish, Frank suddenly remembered what Johnson was seeking.

Ever since the main materials for the Sequence 8 potion were unlocked, Johnson had been searching online for all kinds of strange animals and plants, but he still hadn't found the source of any material.

These materials in the potion seemed not to exist on Earth at all.

As a result, Johnson's path to advancement was directly stuck. After all, the Genie didn't give Johnson a blessing similar to Frank's, and he couldn't continue to make wishes himself.

"I wish I could have a safe and hidden base, and this base should be able to exchange for extraordinary items through other universal methods." Frank first tentatively said a larger wish.

Listening to Frank's wish, Johnson was first overjoyed—the Sequence 8 potion had hope—but this joy gradually dissipated under Frank's silence.

"How many points?" Johnson swallowed and asked tentatively.

"Ten thousand..." Frank didn't even know what to say. The number of points required for this wish, if he wasn't careful, he might not have enough even when he completed the main quest.

This was not Ding Hao exaggerating the consumption. After all, if this wish were realized for Frank, Frank could start from scratch and build a Main God Space.

"Just do it normally. If it doesn't work, we can make wishes to add functions later." Johnson sighed in his heart when he spoke, but his face still maintained a smile.

Frank nodded, "I know. It's almost the end of the month. We'll try again with the remaining wish count then."

"I wish I could obtain a secret base that is suitable for me, relatively safe, and hidden."

【This wish takes effect and requires consumption of points: 3, does it take effect?】

"Yes!" Frank nodded.

Three golden light spots flew out from Frank's body, rotating in the air to form a shining rune. Under this rune, a house took shape bit by bit on the side of the world, and at the same time, a bunch of keys appeared in Frank's hand.

"Here." When Frank got the keys, the relevant information floated into his mind, and then he took off a key and handed it to Johnson.

Johnson took it and, together with Frank, inserted it into the air in front of them, then turned it half a circle to the right.

Two doors appeared in front of the two with their actions. This door could only be observed by the key holder and only allowed the holder to pass through.

After entering the cabin, the information about the cabin also floated out.

【Cabin of 3】

【3 is a mysterious number. In this plain-looking cabin, 3 constitutes a cycle. Before this cycle is broken, it will bring a hidden effect and protect the permission holders within it.】

"Wow~ This is much more modern than I imagined~" Johnson looked at the various household appliances in front of him and sighed.

Johnson originally thought this kind of cabin would be like many in movies, just a wooden shell, without even tap water or electricity, but everything he saw now broke that imagination.

It seemed that they could still live as usual here, even better than before.

At the same time, in the Midtown area of Hell's Kitchen, this ruin caused by various battles had been cordoned off, not allowing ordinary people to enter.

In this area, various engineering vehicles were working, and broken concrete blocks and surface soil were shoveled up. These things would all be transported back to S. H. I. E. L. D. for research and analysis.

"What is that?" A S. H. I. E. L. D. agent, Woody, discovered a strange black thing wriggling in the bucket of a shovel truck.

After locking his gaze, Woody's brain became dull, and some subtle murmurs sounded in his ears. Unidentifiable information filled his brain without his permission.

These sounds with a certain magic were like echoes in an empty valley, originating from the distant and mysterious past, and also like whispers from the abyss, originating from the dark and degenerate future.

Immediately after, Woody violated various safety regulations, violated the agent's code, walked to the bucket, and reached out to touch that thing.

This was a jelly-like colloid. Every time his finger touched it, it could bring out little bits of debris from it.

There was a strange protrusion on the side of the colloid, as if something was about to be precipitated from it.

The more he touched it, the more Woody obtained a kind of indescribable "satisfaction" from it, just like having the upper body flushed with hot water and the lower body buried in ice cubes after a big drunk.

Under the impact of this strange satisfaction, the anchor set by Hydra in Woody's mind loosened. He began to feel that Hydra was not worth his loyalty at all, and a more powerful and mysterious existence was extending an olive branch to him.

"Woody? What's wrong with you?" His companion saw Woody standing frozen on the spot, patted his shoulder, and asked suspiciously.

"I'm fine, just a bit distracted." Woody smiled reluctantly, his body slowly moved to the left a little, blocking the front of the bucket.

"Fine, since you're fine, hurry up and get out of the way. The driver is still waiting to unload." His companion signaled to the driver in the shovel truck's seat who had anger he couldn't express.

Woody's actions affected other people's work. The driver really wanted to kill this idiot with a shovel, but the driver didn't dare.

Woody really didn't want to leave, but he couldn't find a good reason to stay here without exposing his true thoughts.

Finally, he could only stand on the side, watching helplessly as the bucket dumped what he wanted along with the ruins into the truck.

They can't see... I still have a chance... still have a chance...

Woody lowered his head and carefully observed the surrounding agents. He found that these colleagues seemed unable to see the black thing in the bucket.

In other words, after the screening by the Science and Technology Department, the black colloid would likely be transported to the garbage dump like most bricks. At that time, Woody would have a chance to get it.

Hawkeye, standing at the highest point overlooking the whole scene, frowned. He felt Woody was a bit wrong.

This person was secretly observing others just now? What did he find? What does he want to do?

Hawkeye was a bit unsure. As the agent with the best eyes, he had been watching here, but he hadn't found anything.

Thinking for a few seconds, Hawkeye decided he couldn't just pretend not to see it, so he pressed his earpiece and whispered two sentences into it.

That afternoon, when everyone was preparing to return, they suddenly found two checkpoints added in the middle of the road.

Around this checkpoint stood a row of temporarily transferred field personnel. These people were guarding the checkpoint with live ammunition.

In the checkpoint were several search experts wearing full-body protective suits. They were specially used to search incoming personnel, including agents. Anyone who had anything hidden on them would be searched out. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
