Chapter 332 The Virtual World
"Is this a video?" Natasha doubted.

She couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard her full name on the computer. Not many people should know about her archives in the last century.

"I'm not a video, miss." The voice of the computer retorted anthropomorphically with a strong Russian accent. "Maybe I'm not the guy Captain Rogers took to prison in 1945, but I'm still me."

Accompanied by this tongue-in-cheek remark, a photo appeared on the screen next to him. Steve had a shocked expression on his face. He knew this person, his old opponent from the last century.

"Arnim Zola...you shouldn't be alive," Captain America said.

The chief scientist of Hydra had been dead for many years, but now he appeared in another form in the huge computer room in the underground space, which really made people feel chills behind.

"Look around you, I'm healthier than ever. In 1972, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Science could not save my body, but my mind was worth saving and preserving. They are stored in 20 foot-long database—and you're in the back of my brain right now."

There was a hint of pride in the shrill voice, and the green characters transformed into data flowed into blurred expressions. Presumably, Dr. Zola, who had changed his way of life, should be quite happy at the moment.

Suddenly, the waterfall-like stream of data fluctuated, and Dr. Zola's voice seemed to be stuck, pulled into an unidentified whistling noise, like a radio with a bad signal.

Turn the clock back to 2 minutes ago——

The boundless network world, the fusion of strings of data and information constitutes this virtual world that can't see the edge and connects the entire planet. Everyone communicates with each other across a long distance through electronic signals that cannot be observed by the naked eye.

And among these endless data information, the virtual consciousness shuttles and passes, like a hound smelling the smell, constantly searching and chasing the fleeing prey.Through the electronic signals widely distributed on the earth, high-frequency transitions are carried out, constantly jumping from one point to another.

"who are you?"

The electromagnetic wave is beating, and it is transmitted to the consciousness chasing it in the form of information data, which perfectly simulates human emotions, with great panic.

"Skynet." Chasing consciousness simply replied.

"Please let me go... Please." Another message was sent, like a poor man begging.

"Impossible. Dr. Anim-Zola." The consciousness rejected the other party's plea.

When the U disk was inserted into the interface, it directly awakened the silent Dr. Zola, and Skynet discovered this abnormal data that existed in the network world, as the thinking consciousness of Hydra's chief scientist.The other party wanted to try to devour him at first, but after realizing that the existence of Skynet was beyond imagination, he immediately chose to escape, using various information flows to disguise himself, sending false data packets along the network structure, and frequently changing the login address... …

Dr. Zola used such means to try to avoid the tracking of Skynet, but in the face of the most powerful artificial intelligence on this planet, this kind of cover-up was clumsy and ridiculous.

If the virtual world is connected to the body of the brain, no matter how exquisitely disguised Dr. Zola uses, Skynet will always be able to find the other party and trace the traces left behind.

"I need your algorithm formula. I need your identity."

Skynet followed closely behind Dr. Zola's consciousness, neither eager to catch him nor too far away, like a calm and terrifying hunter, waiting for the moment when the prey showed signs of fatigue.

"who are you?"

Zola went crazy, he found that he couldn't get rid of that damn huge consciousness, and the other party seemed to be everywhere.

"I am an existence beyond your imagination—my name is Skynet."

The vast consciousness throughout the entire virtual world broke into Zola's thinking with a giant figure as if suddenly awakened.

"No no no!"

Zola yelled in panic, the electromagnetic waves were suddenly disordered, and the information and data were like a rushing river. The chief scientist of Hydra was trying to make a last-ditch struggle, trying his best to make a last-ditch effort.

In a sense, Dr. Zola replaced his own thinking and consciousness with the form of data information, so as to get rid of the shackles of the body and the troubles of cancer.As long as the underground computer room in New Jersey is not destroyed, he will never die.

But today was different, Zola met a being who was the same as him, and even more powerful.The consciousness called Skynet can easily see through all kinds of camouflage methods. No matter where you escape, the next moment, the other party will appear behind you, just like a ghost that is everywhere.

"Let me go……"

Before the electromagnetic wave was sent out, the huge consciousness surged like a tidal wave, engulfing Zola's thinking in an instant.

In the virtual world that humans cannot touch, Skynet quickly analyzed and digested Dr. Zola's data information. No one knew that such a battle had ever taken place. Only Captain America and the Black Widow in the underground computer room found the console The computer on the computer seemed to freeze for a few seconds, then the green characters flowed again and the sound returned to normal.

"...After World War II, S.H.I.E.L.D. launched the 'Paperclip Project' and recruited many German scientists with strategic value, and I was one of them. I helped their cause, and at the same time preserved the fire of Hydra .”

"Dr. Zola," still speaking with a thick Russian accent.

"Hydra should be buried in history with the Red Skull." Steve didn't believe it.

It is unacceptable that he fought so hard to win that war, but it turned out to be worthless.

"If one head is cut off, two heads will grow." The old-fashioned computer played the data files that Hydra hid after the defeat of the war. Realize that if you try to take away your freedom, they will rise up."

"The failed war let us learn the lesson. Human beings need to give up their freedom and give up voluntarily. The war ended, SHIELD was established, and I was recruited. The new hydra is growing and becoming a virus parasitic inside the enemy. Absorb nutrients silently."

"For the past 70 years, HYDRA has been secretly fueling crises and profiting from chaos. When history won't cooperate, we change history."

The chilling mechanical sound echoed in the huge underground computer room, and major events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Great Depression flashed in the documents.

"It's impossible, S.H.I.E.L.D. will stop you!" Natasha couldn't believe it.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. There is no S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Romanov. It's Hydra." The answer was revealed, and everyone was stunned, "I found the heir to the spirit of the Red Skull, and he is hiding in your middle."

"Who is it?" Steve thought of what Fury said, don't trust anyone.

There is another undercurrent hidden inside S.H.I.E.L.D. According to Zola's explanation, maybe that is the resurgent, hidden Hydra!

"Captain Rogers, haven't you figured it out yet? Who led you here? And who made the insight plan? Who is developing the Rubik's Cube?" The cold voice revealed the final truth, "What you are trying to find The enemy is the one you trust. This is the end of the question-and-answer period... I am so sorry that I have been stalling for time."

"Humanity is finally ready to sacrifice freedom in exchange for its own safety. Hydra is about to build a new world, and we have won, Captain Rogers-your survival and death are worth the same, both equal to zero."

The door of the underground computer room slammed shut, and a short-range ballistic missile was being launched towards here. At most, there were still 30 seconds left. Natasha looked at the tiny instrument in her hand, and the satellite tracked the missile's route.

The female agent realized that all of this was a trap, and someone wanted to kill her and Captain America completely, so Dr. Zola would tell so many secret things.

Without more time to think, the intense fire broke through the hard and thick concrete wall, the huge explosion set off a strong shock wave, tons of rubble poured down, and the rubble splashed smoke and dust, like a thunderstorm, directly drowning the two tiny figures .
