Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 202 The Hydra, Born Evil
Seeing the three intertwined and merged giant mushroom clouds on the display screen, which eventually expanded infinitely, everyone present looked extremely grim.

Moments later, the shockwaves from the nuclear explosion outside Washington reached the house, which was dozens of kilometers away from the blast site. The house continued to tremble slightly.

Outside, the refugees who had become somewhat numb in the temporary shelters were thrown into panic and chaos again by this sudden 'earthquake'.

"Those Hydra bastards!!"

Thor cursed angrily, then spun the hammer and flew through the roof.

Harry Osborn, his face contorted with rage, followed closely behind, instantly entering his Venom form. He leaped out through the hole Thor had created, spreading his wings and chasing after him.

Even Tony clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, and put his remote control glasses back on.

It was clear that they had already controlled those drones to rush towards the location of the nuclear explosion.

Although the Avengers members and Carol weren't particularly close at this point, they were all comrades on the same side, and everyone was furious when she was attacked by Hydra.

'Um, this'

Feeling so embarrassed he wanted to dig his toes into the ground, Luca first stole a glance at Steve, whose face was covered in plaster from falling ceiling debris, then looked at Gwen beside him, who was gritting her teeth and wishing she could fly out too.

He had originally intended to explain a few things, but he decisively backed down and pretended to agree.

"Damn Hydra!"

Fortunately, Luca's embarrassment didn't last long.

In just a short while, Thor and his group, who had just rushed out, along with a somewhat disheveled Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, flew back together.

Steve and Gwen were surprised and relieved to see that Carol seemed to be unharmed.

Luca, on the other hand, looked at Carol, whose battle suit was tattered and whose hair had some burn marks. He clicked his tongue in surprise and turned his head away somewhat embarrassedly.

However, Carol didn't notice Luca's expression. It was unclear whether he was trying to appear calm or genuinely didn't care. He simply spoke with a serious expression and a calm tone.

"There was nothing at the epicenter of the explosion—no enemies, no buildings, and no Hydra base."

At this point, Carroll's tone became somewhat hesitant.

Logically speaking, although she performed exceptionally well in resolving the chaos in New York and assisting S.H.I.E.L.D. in eliminating those extraterrestrial fugitives, she might have attracted the attention of Hydra.

However, given her flight speed and the fact that she decided to go to the explosion site in Washington on a whim, Hydra probably didn't have time to prepare in advance and develop a nuclear weapon to ambush her.

In the immediate aftermath of the nuclear explosion, although she was filled with rage, she still suspected that there might be a secret Hydra base there, and that the other party had simply activated some kind of self-destruct program to cover up the evidence.

However, after flying back to investigate, she still found nothing, as if three nuclear bombs had sprung up out of thin air in an ordinary wasteland.

"Could it be that Hydra has mastered some kind of spatial teleportation ability, allowing them to instantly deliver nuclear bombs to a designated location for detonation?"

"During the battle that destroyed the space carrier, Hydra seemed to have acquired quite a few superhumans. It's not impossible that a superhuman with teleportation or teleportation abilities has appeared!"

"Or perhaps, they are some kind of superhuman capable of creating nuclear explosions? Like those Extremis Virus warriors from before?"

Everyone took turns analyzing the possible scenarios.

Without exception, the more they talked, the uglier their expressions became. If Hydra could really send nuclear explosions anywhere at will, then the entire world would be under constant threat of death.

"Cough cough. It shouldn't be that bad. If Hydra really had that kind of ability, this place would probably have been blown up already. It's also possible that this is just a coincidence."

Seeing their wild guesses, Luca, whose eyelids were twitching, tried to remain calm and spoke up, hoping to pull everyone's emotions back on track.

Unfortunately, these people didn't seem to take Luca's 'analysis' too seriously.

'Coincidence or something?' These superheroes always seem to like to think of things in the worst possible light.

However, given the current situation, no one could analyze anything useful, and in the end, they could only leave it at that with worried expressions.

"I will re-verify the background information of everyone on the space carrier. I'll leave that to you for now."

Nick Fury, his face ashen, uttered these words and immediately hung up the phone.

As a seasoned agent, he was the least likely to believe in coincidences.

Carol departed from the space carrier, and the enemy has pinpointed her route, which strongly suggests that there are still Hydra spies on that carrier.

The original Tri-Wing Tower has now been completely destroyed. Although the intelligence of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents has been preserved and has not been leaked, it also means that Hydra has gone into hiding as well.

Although many of Hydra's agents exposed their identities when they overturned the table, Nick Fury still cannot fully trust the remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

After temporarily setting aside the minor incident of Captain Marvel being bombed by a nuclear weapon, everyone's attention returned to the current situation.

Treating and resettling refugees, and quelling unrest in various places—these things can be done gradually.

Colonel Rhodes has arrived at the military base closest to Washington, D.C., and is preparing to forcibly take over the area and deploy troops to assist the Stark Group in resettling refugees.

Osborne Medicine and Orange Group have also sent personnel to help treat the injured.

In fact, in New York, mass-produced Baymax robots have become an indispensable force in disaster relief.

However, what the Avengers need to be most concerned about, or rather, what they urgently want to resolve right now, is Hydra, the culprit.

No one believed that the top brass of Hydra would obediently stay put and perish with Washington in that nuclear explosion.

"Luca, I remember you mentioned before that Hydra in Sokovia also wanted to take over your company, right?"

Tony, who was flipping through the documents, suddenly looked up at Luca beside him.

"Oh? Uh, yes, that's true."

"But that's just my guess. They were Hydra. And at that time, they only made a probing attack and then immediately retreated. I don't know where they've gone now."

This kind of thing is hard to hide, so when Luca told the story, he didn't hold back much.

Tony seemed to understand what was going on, and then spoke to the screen.
