Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 166: Kind People Will Help

Only criminals like Bullseye, who, apart from the six daggers thrown at the beginning, had no other lethal weapons on their bodies, were spared by Xia Zuo because his colleagues had already arrived.

But he wouldn't leave himself an enemy like a bullseye.

On the very night that Bullseye finished his trial and was transferred to Xingge Prison to serve his sentence, Xia Zuo sneaked into the prison.

Through the iron bars, he used Electromagnetic Control to control Bullseye's body, using his prison trousers as a rope to hang him from the prison bars.

Shazor's ruthless actions terrified Kingpin, causing the underworld emperor to leave New York once again, and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

Xia Zuo's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Last month, I saw Captain America in Hell's Kitchen."

Skye looked bewildered and asked, at a loss for words, "—Boss, who did you see?"

Shaza emphasized, "Captain America, Steve Rogers."

"The guy who, 68 years ago, held a shield, wore the Stars and Stripes, and slapped idiots' butts across Europe."

Skye stared in disbelief: "Boss, I'm not well-educated, you can't lie to me."

Xia Zuo chuckled and said, "Little girl, you've read quite a few books, and have I ever lied to you?"

Skye thought for a moment and admitted, "No."

"Although you have a particular fondness for hiding things, you've never lied to me."

"So, he really is Captain America, Steve Rogers."

"Wow, he must be 90 years old by now!"

Shazor replied, "He crashed his plane into an iceberg in Antarctica, and was recently dug out by S.H.I.E.L.D., thawed, and revived."

Skye remained silent for a long time, completely unsure how to express her emotions.

So she sent me a {this is not scientific.jpg} emoji to express her shock and incomprehension.

Words could not express her shock.

Xia Zuo replied, "It is indeed very unscientific. With a temperature of only -70 degrees Celsius in Antarctica, it is impossible to achieve cell freezing without damage."

"But stories need logic, while reality does not."

"Anyway, Captain America himself is full of miracles. Maybe his body cells have the antifreeze properties of amphibians, which can solve the problem of ice spikes when frozen."

Skye waited a while before replying, "Boss, you're right, but what's the connection between Captain America and Tony Stark?"

Shazor replied, "Their relationship is complicated. Rogers and old Stark are friends, so Rogers is considered Tony Stark's uncle."

"But more importantly, the two of them will lead the formation of a superhero organization called the Avengers, with the goal of avenging the enemy after Earth's civilization is attacked by aliens."

Skye took a long time to reply again: "Boss, I think you're telling a story, and a story that has no logic and isn't funny at all."

Xia Zuo had been thinking about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what had caused the change.

It's not that Xia Zuo couldn't think of any possibilities, but rather that there were too many possibilities, and he couldn't determine which one it was.

The Marvel universe is extremely complex, with countless parallel worlds. He might be in a parallel world where Captain America woke up prematurely.

Xia Zuo sighed and replied via chat, "Actually, I'm not sure anymore."

"As far as I know, Captain America shouldn't have come back this year; he should have appeared at least three years earlier."

Xia Zuo said quietly, "Skye, let's wait and see."

"Let's see if Tony Stark disappears forever after leaving, only to return safely and unexpectedly a few months later."

"Let's see if Stark will unexpectedly shut down Stark Industries' military division when he returns."

"If all these illogical things happen, it will prove that the story I'm telling is more than just a story."

Skye replied excitedly and curiously, "Okay, let's wait and see, we should have news soon."

Shazo changed the subject: "Skye, did you find S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret warehouse?"

Skye said, "Of course, with your help, boss, I've located the three secret warehouses."

The girl smiled smugly and said, "Moreover, I have deciphered the encrypted information you intercepted, boss, and found out the exact location of the obelisk."

Xia Zuo was extremely satisfied and laughed loudly, praising, "Fantastic! Skye, you're amazing! With this precise location information, all the conditions for capturing the obelisk are met."

Skye's smile froze, and she asked worriedly, "Boss, are you serious? You're really going to force your way into that secret warehouse?"

Xia Zuo affirmed, "Yes, that's it."

Skye advised, "Boss, let's think of another way."

"That warehouse is right on a federal military base in New York State. That's too dangerous."

Xia Zuo said dismissively, "It's just a mere US military base; it's nothing to me."

"My communication skills are now incredibly strong. As long as I communicate seriously, I can persuade kind-hearted people to offer help."

Skye still felt it was too risky. Ever since that night when she sat on Xia Zuo's lap, she had developed a deep attachment to him and didn't want him to take any risks.

Xia Zuo explained his motivation for the adventure with a smile: "The appearance of Captain America represents the arrival of a new era full of opportunities and dangers."

"In this new era, everyone must face danger head-on, so Skye needs to awaken her powers as soon as possible so that she can better protect herself in the future."

Skye's eyes welled up slightly, her nose tingled, and she almost burst into tears.

After taking a few deep breaths, she replied earnestly, "Thank you, dear boss."

S.H.I.E.L.D. is a remarkable organization.

In theory, S.H.I.E.L.D. is an intelligence organization jointly funded and led by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, but in reality, management, personnel, and financial reimbursement rights are all in the hands of Mi Lijian.

This is actually quite normal. The founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. were Millionaires and Sunset Empires, the main base was in Millionaires, and the main leaders were Millionaires and Sunset Empires.

Although the father-son relationship between Mi Lijian and Sunset is reversed, they are still a family.

In theory, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s responsibility is to protect the world, and Director Nick Fury firmly believes that he is capable of protecting the world.

He doesn't care whether the other party's abilities are strong or weak, or whether they are kind or evil. As long as they are not from Mi Lijian or Dongda, Lu Dan will define them as an evil organization or a super criminal.

He habitually assesses supervillains from a conspiracy theory perspective, and he will drive S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to conduct the most rigorous surveillance, kidnapping, arresting, and imprisoning them by any means necessary.

The idea of ​​braised eggs was wonderful, but S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't have the power to realize his dream.

In reality, S.H.I.E.L.D. can't even manage itself, having been completely infiltrated by its arch-enemy, Hydra.

Aside from the director and a few of his confidants, S.H.I.E.L.D. is Hydra's largest branch, so renaming it Snake.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't be out of place at all.

Such an organization, riddled with contradictions, chaotic in its management, and adhering to mysticism, is bound to have numerous internal loopholes.

Using his own electromagnetic control abilities, Shazo investigated and discovered traces of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Skye took over and used hacking techniques to penetrate the network, finding the highest-security-level repository without much effort.

Just as Xia Zuo had guessed, Lu Dan's trust in people was almost zero, so the more he wanted to keep something secret, the more he would prefer to use an automated system for management.

Director Ludan, with his meticulous thinking, naturally considered the possibility that the electronic system might have been compromised by hackers.

Therefore, under his management, S.H.I.E.L.D. cultivated a large group of top hackers and possessed an independent operating system and a powerful firewall that was constantly updated.

At a more crucial level, Fury also enlisted the help of his Skrull friends to reinforce the defenses with alien technology.

It's fair to say that Nick Fury has achieved perfection and shouldn't have been able to be silently hacked.

However, he couldn't imagine what kind of miracle would occur when Skye's superb hacking skills were combined with Xia Zuo's [electromagnetic wave perception] that allowed him to directly see electromagnetic forces.

The combination of superpowers and technology is like a god in the world of the internet.

Any electronic program is essentially a change in the path of current, and Shazor can effortlessly change the voltage, easily blocking and disrupting the current.

Under Skye's guidance, he was able to precisely block all programs from running, including security system functions such as detection, alarms, and logging.

After Xia Zuo and Skye combine, they become beings from another dimension, and no program can contend with them.

If it weren't for Director Ludan's insistence on the final clause of the confidentiality principle, which requires his personal written approval for the unsealing and transportation of all top-secret items, and that both the release and transportation be handled by Level 10 agents, Skye would have already retrieved the obelisk directly via the network.

To retrieve the obelisk, Shazo himself must go to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret warehouse located beneath the military base.

Skye knew her boss was powerful, but in her subconscious, the idea that the Mithril Army was the world's strongest military force was unshakable, so she was very worried about her boss's safety.

You should know that Xia Zuo's adventure is to obtain an item that can activate her superpowers.

This filled Skye's heart with a tender feeling of being cared for and protected, which was not only warm but also very sweet.

Skye, who grew up in an orphanage, had suffered many hardships and had never received such care from anyone. Her gratitude towards Xia Zuo had been growing ever since she moved into his home.

Xia Zuo possesses great strength, reliable character, gentle personality, and fairly handsome appearance, making him very attractive to 16-year-old girls.

Skye's gratitude naturally transformed into girlish feelings, which lingered around Xia Zuo.

After ending the chat, Xia Zuo quietly left home.

He didn't drive because the S.H.I.E.L.D. secret warehouse was only 220 kilometers from his home, and it would be much faster to run there than drive.

The Milijian military base is heavily guarded to ordinary people, but to Xia Zuo, it's like his own living room—he can come and go as he pleases.

In the Naruto world, Xia Zuo encountered a major setback in his fusion of core release techniques.

Because this is an unprecedented bloodline elimination in the ninja world, it is impossible to obtain the flesh and blood of the corresponding ninja as a catalyst, making the fusion of the three chakra natures of water, fire, and lightning extremely difficult.

So Hokage Natsume turned around and began to study ninjutsu, starting from the basics to sort out his own power.

Thus, in the previous dream world, Naruto and Sasuke shared a near-perfect ninjutsu and a less-than-perfect Flying Thunder God Technique.

In addition, he made a huge breakthrough in illusion techniques, even simulating the hypnotic illusion of the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Now, Xia Zuo can easily persuade others simply by making eye contact.

Even when encountering a soldier radiating a bloodthirsty aura, a single glance is enough to turn him into a "kind person," willingly offering Xia Zuo assistance.

Having dealt with the officer guarding the base gate, Xia Zuo swaggered in.

He wasn't worried at all about the dense surveillance equipment in the base. [Electromagnetic Control] could make the electronic eyes actively avoid him and could also erase his image from the surveillance.

At the same time, Skye also used Shazo's abilities to infiltrate the military base to ensure that his boss would not leave any trace in the system's records.

Xia Zuo successfully arrived at the depths of the base, where the colonel in charge of base security also became a "kind person," taking him in an elevator to descend 150 meters underground.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents guarding the underground base also turned into "kind-hearted people," enthusiastically leading Shaza to the warehouse door, which had a security level of 10.

This gate, designed and built by Howard Stark, has both mechanical and electronic safety systems and has never had a problem in 70 years.

But when Xia Zuo reached out and touched it, [Electromagnetic Control] unlocked the electronic security system and opened the heavy electronic lock.

Then he pulled hard, forcefully lifting the 15-ton mechanical safety mechanism and disengaging the last safety device, allowing the 1.5-meter-thick steel gate to open silently.

This cannot be blamed on Howard Stark's design flaws; the mechanical safety he designed for the gate was designed to withstand a load exceeding ten times Captain America's maximum explosive power.

In addition, the leverage effect amplifies the impact, requiring hundreds of tons of force to release the safety device by brute force.

In front of the gate is a passageway that is only 3 meters wide and 3 meters high, but nearly 100 meters long.

From a physics perspective, it is impossible for a living organism or machine capable of passing through such a confined space to possess a force exceeding 100 tons.

Therefore, Howard was helpless against someone as exceptional as Shazo.

The warehouse wasn't large, but it contained many magical items, such as a mercury-like substance sealed in resin, an ancient longsword stained with blood, a vampire's skull, and parchment that moved without wind.

Xia Zuo ignored the collection, quickly found the obelisk, wrapped it in rubber, and left the warehouse.

He pushed the gate back up, locked the electronic lock, erased the memories of the agents and soldiers, and swaggered out of the military base.

The entire invasion was very peaceful; there were no shots fired, no killings, no alarms, and the obelisk was easily obtained.

Only with Skye's accurate intelligence support can Shazo fully utilize his strength and skills.

This wasn't a solo performance by him, but an amazing show that could only be achieved by him and Skye working together.
