Chapter 24: Civet Cat Replaces the Crown Prince

, The Genie Starting from Marvel

In S. H. I. E. L. D., the dark-layer power established by Hydra began to surge.

The doctor carrying the extraordinary characteristics was replaced secretly during the process of walking toward the inspection area.

As for the problems of relevant monitoring and various data, this matter had now alarmed Pierce. His permission in S. H. I. E. L. D. was only higher than Nick Fury's, not lower. Solving this little problem was still very easy.

"Hey, Baron Strucker, I hope you have already received the person." Pierce said to another Hydra leader after completing the finishing work.

Nick Fury now had most of his attention on Tony Stark and his Stark Industries Group, so Pierce could do things so perfectly and smoothly.

"Of course." Baron Strucker, who answered the phone, looked behind him.

That doctor was now hiding in a corner, his body trembling, black patterns spreading on his face, his mental state was very poor, looking like he was about to ascend to heaven immediately.

"However, his situation is not very good, he is dying." Before Baron Strucker finished speaking, a strange sound came from behind him.

Baron Strucker subconsciously ran forward for several steps. After gaining a sense of security among the guards, Strucker turned to look at the place where the doctor was.

Under his gaze, the doctor let out a painful hoarseness, his right hand reaching out toward his leader, seeming to expect Baron Strucker to save himself.

However, no matter how hard the doctor tried, he was slowly getting shorter. His lower body seemed to have been thrown into aqua regia, melting bit by bit, emitting a foul smell.

In a few seconds, the doctor disappeared completely from this world. No one could identify that the mass of things on the ground similar to excrement was actually a person.

This was the result of forcefully fusing high-level extraordinary characteristics without any preparation. The doctor could persist until now because part of the pollution in the extraordinary characteristics in his body had been received by Woody.

Otherwise, the moment the extraordinary characteristics entered the doctor's body, he would immediately enter an out-of-control state and then turn into pus in the whispers.

"What is that..." Baron Strucker looked at the three strange things of different sizes precipitated on the ground and expressed his confusion.

"What happened?" Pierce urged on the phone.

Because of the struggle for power and rights, the laboratory and safe house on Baron Strucker's side did not have Pierce's monitoring.

After all, Baron Strucker pursued the past and could involve a certain top leader of Hydra. Even if he had declined now, he could still be on an equal footing with Pierce, and even in some situations, his status was slightly higher than Pierce's.

"The person is dead, turned into pus. Is Woody really still alive?" Baron Strucker replied to the phone. Obviously, he concealed some small things.

"Indeed still alive, and judging from the activity of his body cells, he is healthier than ordinary people, and even as healthy as a former super soldier." Pierce looked at the monitoring he had called out. Woody was still lying there quietly.

When speaking, Pierce deliberately avoided the name of Captain America Rogers. This name didn't matter to him, but for many Hydras, it belonged to a sensitive word.

"Looks like we need him, at least we need to understand why he can live and by what means he makes the contactor die." Baron Strucker said after pondering.

Pierce and he were both prepared to solve Woody after getting the things Woody passed out. After all, as long as Woody was alive, he would keep increasing the possibility of Hydra being exposed.

But now, it seemed Woody had to live first.

"I know. You prepare a substitute, and I will notify you in advance when I find an opportunity here." Pierce said and hung up the phone.

Baron Strucker concealed some information. He, Pierce, was not a good person either. He also concealed part of the information.

Obviously, Woody's current situation was likely related to Black Sky, who was shot to death by Frank. Pierce had also obtained some information about Black Sky from the Hand through undercover agents and various other means.

Unfortunately, these materials could currently only be used for reference. According to Madame Gao, when Dela summoned Black Sky to descend, he didn't know how many rules he violated, and it was precisely because of this that he died directly under Black Sky's hands.

As for Woody's current state, Madame Gao clearly stated that she had never seen this situation.

"Your luck is indeed not bad." Pierce said to Woody in the monitoring.

That night, Strucker's subordinates were busy preparing for the plan of civet cat replacing the crown prince.

Wanting to complete this kind of plan under Nick Fury's nose, even with Pierce's cooperation, the difficulty was extraordinary.

Moreover, in order not to affect Hydra's big plan after the plot was exposed, the technology used by these scientists under Strucker when preparing was best related to other factions, such as the military, such as the FBI.

The subordinates were very busy, but Strucker was idle. In front of him were three transparent small boxes made of special materials, and what was inside were exactly the three extraordinary characteristics discharged from the doctor's body.

"You, what on earth are you..."

Baron Strucker's voice echoed in the empty room.

"Human... bug... perish..."

"Who! Who is talking!" Baron Strucker became nervous. This was one of his old nests. If someone had sneaked in, that would be terrible.

In a panic, Baron Strucker slowly discovered that the voice in his mind came from the three small boxes in front of him.

"Are you talking?" Baron Strucker leaned down, his ear pressed against the box.

As the whispers continued, Baron Strucker's reason began to twist bit by bit. He did things he had found hard to imagine before.

Kneeling on both knees, his forehead pressed tightly against the ground, piously, inexplicably, he began to pray to the unknown things in front of him.

Listening to the incomprehensible voice from the unknown great existence, Baron Strucker felt as if he was roaming in the universe. Everything he could perceive was so mysterious and gorgeous.

Compared with these, Baron Strucker felt that everything he had experienced was covered with a layer of meaningless veil, including the mission when Hydra was first founded—to welcome and serve a powerful alien who was expelled to outside the Earth. This also became meaningless.

How much power could a powerful existence that could be expelled by humans have? What's more, that alien seemed to have not been able to break the seal and return to Earth until now.

That person was not on the same level as the one whispering in Baron Strucker's ear now.

This was no wonder that Baron Strucker, who had come into contact with a larger world, chose to abandon his original narrow and small goals. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
