Chapter 253 The Evil Radicals, Daring to Disguise Themselves as Humans

After rescuing Natasha and Erica, Du Mu then opened Rhodes' hatch.

Rod suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the top edge of the isolation chamber with both hands, and his two hairy black legs leaped into the air to clamp down on Du Mu.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Rhodes fell back into the isolation chamber, seeing stars and his head buzzing.

Du Mu slowly retracted his fist and let out a cold snort.

The man even tried to use a deadly scissor kick on him. Wasn't he just asking for a beating?

Natasha and Rhodes knew each other, so she went up to explain to the bewildered Rhodes, who gradually came to understand the situation.

Just then, Du Mu heard a commotion outside.

Clearly, the earlier gunfire had attracted other Skrulls, who were rapidly closing in.

"You can handle the rest of the prisoners. I'll go and deal with the Skrulls first."

As Du Mu walked out of the prison area, he was met by a group of Skrulls armed with guns.

He remained completely calm and shouted, "Your captain has already been executed on the spot! If you have anyone to blame, blame him for joining the radical faction in Gravi, who intended to enslave humanity and seize Earth!"

"We conservatives will never allow such scum to exist and undermine peace between our two races!"

"Put down your weapons now, and I might consider leniency. But if you remain obstinate and continue to resist, you'll all suffer the same fate as him!"

What?!

Commander Leila is actually an undercover agent planted by the conservatives!?

The Skrulls were astonished upon hearing Du Mu's words.

They were unaware of the situation underground, assuming that the base had been attacked by human invaders or that the human prisoners had rebelled. Little did they know that it was merely a factional struggle among the Skrulls' upper echelons.

For a moment, they were somewhat at a loss.

However, some loyal radicals remained unmoved.

They raised their guns, pointing them at Du Mu, and roared, "You traitor! Skrull villain! You actually helped inferior humans fight against your own kind! Die!"

Da da da da da—!

Sparks flew from the gun muzzle as countless bullets swept toward Du Mu's location.

Du Mu's body flashed with white light, and his protective technique blocked all the bullets from his body, scattering the golden bullet heads all over the ground.

"Damn it! She's fused with the genes of a special human; ordinary bullets have no effect on her!" a radical Pasculus shouted in panic.

"let me!"

Another Skrull roared, his body suddenly swelled and deformed, instantly transforming into a tall and muscular male human form.

Immediately afterwards, his skin turned crimson, as if lava was flowing beneath his skin, and terrifying high temperatures radiated outwards, causing the surrounding air to distort.

Du Mu was all too familiar with this image; it was none other than his Extinction Virus Warrior.

The Extremis warriors he had previously cleared out outside Tony's house were later dealt with by S.H.I.E.L.D., who also collected a number of Extremis warrior gene samples for research.

It's not surprising that the Skrulls obtained these genetic samples by using Nick Fury's access.

"Burn to ashes, you traitor!"

The Skrulls, transformed into warriors of the extreme realm, charged forward with scorching heat, their crimson hands reaching for Du Mu, attempting to melt him through.

However, his attack came to an abrupt halt the next second.

Du Mu gripped his neck tightly, lifting him into the air.

With the Fire-Repelling Pearl on his body, the high temperature that was enough to melt gold and iron was no different from ordinary body temperature to Du Mu, and there was not a trace of burn on his palms.

A snap.

The Skrulls' struggles ceased instantly, and then Du Mu conjured a magic sword in his left hand. With a flash of white light, they were completely bewildered.

Du Mu threw the hot torrent into the ranks of the Skrulls who were firing, burning several Skrulls until their flesh melted and they screamed in agony.

Du Mu did not stop. Holding his magic sword, he charged into the densest area of ​​Skrulls, braving the hail of bullets.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The magic sword in Du Mu's hand transformed into a dazzling curtain of light, and none of the Skrulls within its range escaped.

Faced with Dumu, who was impervious to bullets, the Skrulls were completely powerless to fight back. One after another, Skrulls fell down, clutching their wounds that spurted green blood, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Meanwhile, several Skrulls who had incorporated other genes also attempted to rebel.

Their abilities vary, and they might cause considerable trouble for ordinary superhumans.

However, their abilities seemed laughable in the face of Du Mu's absolute numerical superiority. They couldn't even last two or three rounds before Du Mu emptied their health bars.

Soon, a large number of Skrull corpses lay around Du Mu, the strong smell of blood almost solidified and assaulting his nostrils.

The few remaining radical Skrulls were completely crushed by this one-sided massacre.

"Don't kill me! I surrender! I surrender!"

They screamed in terror, dropped their weapons, covered their heads with their hands, and knelt on the ground.

"We surrender! We are willing to follow orders from our superiors!"

Those Skrulls who hadn't resisted at all also dropped their weapons and took a stand.

Most of them do not belong to any firm faction; they are all opportunists.

They side with whichever faction gains the upper hand.

"very good."

Seeing their surrender, Du Mu stopped and said coldly, "The actions of the Gravi have severely damaged the harmonious relationship that could have been established between the Skrulls and humans. Their methods are extreme and brutal. If this continues, it will only drag our entire race into the abyss of extinction!"

The Skrulls looked at the scattered corpses around them, their mouths twitching.

Whose methods are more extreme and brutal?

Du Mu continued, "For the future of us Skrulls, we must eliminate the radicals led by Gravi. Are you willing to join us conservatives and stop Gravi's evil plans?"

"We are willing! We swear to follow Commander Leila to the death!"

"Down with Gravi! Save Skrull!"

"For a peaceful future!"

Faced with the threat of life and death, these Skrulls shouted their slogans louder and louder.

Natasha happened to peek out from the entrance of the prison area to check the situation outside, and was immediately stunned by what she saw.

Wasn't the plan to infiltrate this base by disguising themselves as Skrulls?

How long has it been? How did he become their leader so easily?

Finally, Du Mu, posing as Leila, a Skrull officer, successfully recruited this group of Skrulls.

After being interrogated by S.H.I.E.L.D., he learned that the Skrulls did not have any racial radar to instantly identify their fellow Skrulls; the only quickest and most effective way to prove it was to revert to their original form in person.

It is precisely because of this that Du Mu was able to use Leila's identity without any scruples.

The Skrulls probably never imagined that someone could perfectly impersonate them.

Of course, relying solely on Leila's identity and temporary military deterrence is not reliable.

To prevent these Skrulls from defecting to the radicals again, Du Mu injected each of them with a miniature biological bomb, more than a dozen of them, covering all parts of their bodies. If they dared to turn against him, he guaranteed to turn them into pieces.

If it weren't for the concern about metal poisoning, each person would have consumed at least a hundred metals.

In addition, there are a series of control measures.

These kinds of methods are common in S.H.I.E.L.D. They were all developed privately by the research department during Nick Fury's tenure, ostensibly to study countermeasures against such methods, but nothing more.

Under this loyalty guarantee package, the Skrulls, transformed into technological warriors, completely extinguished any improper thoughts.

And so, they were forced to become Du Mu's most loyal warriors, with no tears left to shed.

They discovered that the radicals in Graves were still too conservative!

Meanwhile, Natasha, Erica, and Rhodes also rescued the remaining imprisoned humans one by one.

After understanding the general situation, most of the rescued people were quite cooperative.

However, there is always a small group of people who do not seem to have fully grasped the current situation. Among them, a few politicians who consider themselves to be of special status began to point fingers at others after their initial shock subsided, acting like leaders.

Natasha and Rhodes knew the nature of these politicians well, so they ignored them and treated it as mere barking.

Erica, whose temper was always like a powder keg, didn't have much patience. Listening to those guys' incessant chatter, she almost wanted to take action.

But she didn't know Du Mu's attitude towards these people, and worried that if she made a move, she would be elbowed again, so she forcibly held back.

Soon, Du Mu learned of the news and led a group of Skrulls down the mountain.

Du Mu's true identity is known only to Natasha, Erica, and Rhodes.

As for the other survivors, they had already agreed on a unified story: Du Mu was a Skrull, a conservative who favored peaceful coexistence with humans, and was the greatest contributor to their rescue.

Most of the rescued people felt both gratitude and fear towards Du Mu.

Although Du Mu saved them, the other party, like the aliens who abducted them, was ultimately a Skrull, so some estrangement was inevitable.

Du Mu didn't care about this, since he wasn't a Skrull.

However, those politicians not only showed no fear, but instead looked at Du Mu with arrogance.

"Listen up, this is Earth, the home of humankind. You alien races have arbitrarily invaded our planet and kidnapped and imprisoned our citizens. This is an extremely serious diplomatic incident!"

"This matter will not be easily resolved unless you give us a satisfactory explanation and appropriate compensation!"

In their view, since this Skrull officer was a conservative who was willing to turn against his own kind and go to great lengths to save them, he must be extremely eager to maintain peace with humans and need their recognition and support.

As high-ranking members of the human race, they suddenly felt they had gained significant bargaining power and wanted to use it to control the narrative between the two sides.

Back home, this might become their political capital, and if managed properly, it could even elevate their status several levels.

Upon hearing this, Natasha, who knew Du Mu quite well, immediately covered her face.

These guys are doomed!

As expected, Du Mu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I never imagined that you radical traitors would disguise yourselves as high-ranking human officials, hiding among the crowd, attempting to disrupt the peace between our two races!"

"Guards, seize them and torture them severely until they revert to their original forms and confess to being traitors within the radical faction!"

Politicians: "???"

This is not quite what we imagined.

Natasha shook her head upon seeing this.

Other superheroes might be easier to talk to, but who is Du Mu? He almost brought down Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., right after he was officially appointed. How could he possibly care about your status or position?

If you offend him, he might even shoot the president.

Without giving these politicians another chance to argue, several Skrulls used the butts of their rifles to smash them to the ground and roughly dragged them out of the prison area, soon followed by screams of agony.

Seeing the pleading looks the politicians cast at him before they were dragged away, Rhodes had no choice but to come to Du Mu's side.

I think...

'

Du Mu glanced at him: "What, are you a mole within the radical faction too?"

Rhodes's expression changed: "No, I mean, I think you did the right thing. When I get back, I'll definitely report this to the President and award you a World... oh no, Interstellar Peace Special Contribution Medal!"

Du Mu nodded: "No need for the medal, just cash it out. I'll send you my human account later."

Rhodes: "...

'

He certainly didn't dare report this to the president, so he had to pay for it himself.

Not long after, Du Mu's encrypted communicator vibrated slightly, receiving good news from other action teams.

Steve and his team also raided two other Skrull secret bases, and with the cooperation of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, successfully rescued the humans imprisoned inside.

Almost at the same time, the system's notification sounded.

[Task to support genuine products] Settlement complete.

[Rewards: 2000 XP, 40 S.H.I.E.L.D. Reputation, One-Handed Sword (equipment), Phelps Pro Kit (item), Copy Card (item)]

[Equipment: One-handed short sword (from a goblin hunter, effective against all targets in goblin form)]

[Props: Phelps' professional knock-off phone (fireproof, waterproof, electric shockproof, and nuclear explosion resistant; a knock-off phone, that's awesome!)]

]

[Item: Copy Card (After use, it can perfectly copy the target's appearance and 100% strength for three minutes. The target's size cannot exceed 50% of the user's size.)]

A one-handed short sword, somewhat similar to the previous Nichirin Blade, is a special weapon designed to target specific races, making it perfect for dealing with goblin-like Skrulls.

Michael Phelps is a professional counterfeit phone maker. This phone is supposed to be anti-electric shock resistant, but can it still be charged?

As for duplicate cards...

Upon seeing this, Du Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

It's important to understand that this isn't the Skrulls' half-baked imitation, which can only replicate a portion of the target's abilities. This is a genuine, perfect replication, with even the strength being 100% replicated.

As long as the opponent's size isn't excessively large, he can possess all of the opponent's abilities, talents, and skills for the next three minutes.

This means that even when facing a much stronger enemy, one can directly confront them head-on.

Of course, the limitations are also obvious: the time is too short. You can only be a real man for three minutes, and once the time is up, you will revert to your original form.

However, this is not a big problem.

After all, when using a copy card, Du Mu not only gains the opponent's full strength, but also retains his original items, equipment, and skills.

In this way, the worst-case scenario is that the match is evenly matched with the opponent.

With proper execution, he managed to hold his opponent to a stalemate.
