Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 114: Place of Detention
Florida, outside a secret military base.

Under the cover of night, an armed escort vehicle was slowly bypassing the winding mountain road and approaching the building that stood without any mark on the map.

This was originally a secret military facility of Hydra, but it was abandoned three years ago.

Those Hydra soldiers left here under the leadership of Baron Strucker and took away all the confidential documents here, leaving the SHIELD agents who rushed here empty-handed.

However, after the SHIELD team left here, the Skrulls, who had been looking for a temporary residence, set their sights on this place.

During the decades since they infiltrated Earth, the Skrulls have been secretly collecting funds and establishing uncontrolled secret locations. Although under the leadership of Nick Fury, they cannot show their true appearance, Nick Fury has acquiesced in their practice of establishing gathering places in inaccessible areas.

The Skrulls placed the elderly, women, and children in various secret gathering places on the earth. Only in these places could they show their original faces to others, and only these places were the safest for them.

This secret base, which is being housed by S.H.I.E.L.D., is now one of the Skrull camps.

Unlike other camps and gathering places, the people stored here are not the Skrull women and children, but the replacements they captured.

The escort vehicle was getting closer and closer. The guard at the gate had already seen the Skrull in the driver's seat through the telescope and noticed that the other party had exposed green skin. The guard opened the gate without any hesitation.

The vehicle only slowed down slightly and then drove into the huge military fortress unimpeded.

After driving for a distance and passing a building that was emitting black smoke and seemed to be burning, the escort vehicle stopped next to a wall painted yellow.

Shortly after the vehicle stopped, a man in a white coat walked quickly out of the door.

"grown ups."

The Skrull in charge of escorting saw the person coming, hurriedly opened the car door, got out of the driver's seat, and bowed his head to greet him.

"Yeah." The scholar-looking Skrull nodded slightly, then smiled. "The gate guard has just greeted me, but I haven't been able to sleep until now, so I'm looking forward to your arrival as soon as possible."

"You have fulfilled your mission, sir." The Skrull nodded heavily. He also knew very well that the reason why the sir had waited until now was not for him, but for the "cargo" in his carriage.

"Thank you for your hard work." The scholar-looking Skrull patted his shoulder. "No accidents occurred on the way, right?"

"No."

The Skrull in charge of the escort said immediately, and then added another sentence.

"They have all been injected with excessive amounts of Heartless Flower, so there is no way they can wake up. Besides, Maxidorost has been watching them in the carriage the whole time. The road was very quiet, and I rushed all the way back without stopping at all."

"That's good, that's good." The scholar-looking Skrull rubbed his hands excitedly when he heard the answer.

"Sir." At this time, the Skrull spoke again, he paused and asked tentatively. "Sir, what you promised me before."

Hearing this, the scholar-looking Skrull was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and replied with a smile. "Well, don't worry, since I promised you something, I will not break my promise. You can be injected with the Extremis virus in a while."

Upon hearing this, the Skrull's brows immediately lit up with joy, and he could hardly suppress the excitement in his eyes.

Although it is clear that an unknown "great power" has been mastered, among the Skrull race, there are still very few people who are qualified to obtain and evolve into Super Skrulls.

Most of the remaining Skrulls remain their original appearance, without any special superpowers except for changing into other people.

To this end, they began to study various technologies on Earth and tried to find special ways other than the Super Skrulls.

Finally, their hard work paid off. By chance, they discovered the Extremis Virus, a special item that was very suitable for them.

The Extremis virus originally came from the invention of Dr. Killian and Dr. Hansen imitating the super soldier serum. The former is the enemy of Iron Man Tony Stark. He also planned the kidnapping of Tony Stark and once sold this serum to terrorists everywhere.

The effect of the Extremis virus is extremely terrifying. It is an enhanced virus that can give the host extremely powerful strength and self-healing ability. The self-healing effect of this virus can even regenerate severed limbs, comparable to Wolverine's self-healing factor.

However, the Extremis virus also has great risks. That is, this virus cannot adapt to the host's body 100%. If it is exposed to huge heat, or the host's body overheats due to multiple uses of the power of the virus, it will cause itself to explode.

For humans, this uncontrolled virus does give people strong self-healing abilities, but it can also put people in extremely dangerous situations, like a time bomb.

But the Skrulls are different. Their talent for changing their own cells is enough to make them perfectly adapted to this powerful virus. As long as they are not impacted by powerful energy, their cells will be able to stabilize the Extremis virus and prevent it from getting out of control and self-destructing.

For those lower-class people who have no chance of becoming Super Skrulls, injecting the Extremis virus is definitely the best way for them to gain powerful strength.

So after hearing the scholar-looking Skrull's reply, the Skrull in charge of escorting him was instantly excited, and then he quickly took the other party to the back compartment, thinking that he would start the injection immediately after the handover was completed. Looking at the escort who was eager to try, the scholar-looking Skrull did not say much, because he was also very anxious.

He couldn't wait to crack Agent Kaia's memory. Once he obtained Carol Danvers' biological information and tried to replicate this power, their Skrull race would completely enter the sequence of advanced civilization.

The two men walked to the back of the escort vehicle, one after the other, and then the escort quickly opened the multiple safety devices of the carriages one by one.

In order to prevent any accidents during the journey, the carriages were tightly blocked, and nothing could flow in except air.

After opening the last safety lock, the scholar-looking Skrull could no longer contain his emotions, and with a look of surprise on his face, the escort pulled open the door of the carriage.

Both of them looked towards the interior of the car at the same time.

Soon, the atmosphere at the scene fell into deathly silence.

From what the two people could see, the huge carriage was empty except for an opened box of mineral water and a few packaging bags left inside.

At this moment, the only sound that could be heard around them was their heavy breathing.

The escort's expression froze on his face, and the scholar-looking Skrull seemed to have not reacted yet. He kept looking around, and then asked curiously to the escort beside him.

"Where are the people? Where are the three people you brought with you?"

"."

The escort opened his mouth and his expression changed from astonishment to fear.

Noticing the other party's constantly changing expression, the scholar-looking Skrull finally reacted. He stared blankly at the escort beside him, and after two seconds of silence, he suddenly roared.

"I asked you where are the people in the car!?"

The escort was so frightened that he shuddered violently. He had never noticed anything wrong during the entire trip.

So he wanted to ask this question, and what he wanted to ask more was, why did the compatriot who was also in the carriage staring at Agent Kaia, Matt and Jessica Jones disappear?

Before he could figure out what was going on, his collar was grabbed by the Skrull who looked like a scholar next to him.

"Where are the people? Tell me where the people in the car went!?"

"I, I don't know either. I was only driving. I swear I didn't hear any sound. And you can see, sir, there is no sign of damage to the insurance of this car." The escort replied quickly.

But the scholar-looking Skrull did not let him go so easily. He still held his collar tightly and kept roaring. The huge sound even attracted the attention of several Skrulls in the distance.

Both of them were sure that the insurance was intact, but he just couldn't understand why the people inside suddenly disappeared. He even suspected that the escort in front of him had driven the wrong car.

The two of them didn't notice anything in the corner of the carriage.

An inconspicuous fountain pen cap is emitting a faint light.
"found it!"

Su Ze's eyes suddenly opened, then he quickly stood up, came to the virtual projection 3D map projected in the air, and pointed to a location.

"The escort vehicle has stopped at this location."

Seeing Su Ze's actions, everyone hurriedly came over, looking at the light spot marked by Su Ze on the map with different eyes.

Tony Stark raised his hand and moved it in the air. Soon, the virtual projected map began to rapidly enlarge under his movement, and gradually determined the extremely accurate location.

"That place seems to be an abandoned Hydra base?" Natasha was a little uncertain. She had too many missions and couldn't remember clearly.

"That's definitely the place. I can feel that the car escorting us is parked right there. You can think of this as one of my special abilities."

Su Ze did not explain too much. After all, the connection between the notebook and the pen was rather strange to him. He did not want anyone to know about this relationship before figuring out the secret of the bloody text.

After a pause, Su Ze continued.

"I can actually open a portal directly inside the escort vehicle, but I think that's too risky, so it's safer to determine the location first."
