Chapter 95 Long Live the Hydra

Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury rubbed his temples in frustration, annoyed by what had just happened.

The entire country of Canada is now in turmoil because of that nuclear bomb, and the global reaction is almost identical to that when Bai Ye released his internal energy yesterday.

Just then, with the sound of calm footsteps, Nick looked up and saw his boss and old friend, former director Alexander Pierce, walking up to him with a serious expression and tossing a document at him.

"What's this?" Nick picked up the document and looked at it. It read "[Sentinel Robot Mass Production Plan]".

"I remember this plan failed with Howard's death?" Nick Fury asked in surprise, only to find that Pierce and another guy named Reed were also listed as signatures.

"No, this plan has never been abandoned. Instead, it has been continuously advanced according to Mr. Howard's last wishes. I'm sorry for keeping it from you in the past," Pierce said with a guilty expression.

"According to Mr. Howard, unless a major crisis occurs, this plan will be kept secret forever. But now there is a major crisis. There is definitely a traitor within S.H.I.E.L.D."

Upon hearing Pierce's words, Nick Fury casually opened the file folder, and the contents inside shocked him to his core. He never expected the plan to have progressed to this extent.

"What do you want me to do?" Nick Fury asked, looking up. He never expected his old boss to give him such a big surprise.

"We're officially restarting Project Sentinel. The world is in turmoil right now, and we desperately need the strength to protect it all," Pierce said. "Kinetic absorption, speed, Pym particles, teleportation, plus the mutant ability replication—we can definitely handle any crisis that comes our way."

Nick Fury fell silent, also considering how to restart the Sentinel Program.

"Beep beep beep!"

Just as he was thinking, his personal cell phone rang.

"I'll wait for your decision." Pierce smiled nonchalantly and walked away, giving Nick Fury space to make a phone call.

Nick Fury picked up the phone; it was an unfamiliar number. After pressing the answer button, a familiar voice rang out.

"Hey, Director Nick, long time no see," Bai Ye said jokingly from his chair on the other end of the phone.

"White Night?" Nick Fury was surprised that it was White Night calling. "We just met yesterday, and right now there are all sorts of rumors online that you're a mutant. The public opinion isn't good for you."

"That's not the point," Bai Ye said calmly. "You should be the one with a headache right now. The nuclear missile that was fired at Canada just now shouldn't have been a mistake, right?"

"It really was you." Nick Fury finally realized that the guy who moved from New York to Canada at Mach 4 was White Night.

"What do you want me to do?" Nick Fury asked, "Cover you up?"

"No, no, no, the problem isn't me, it's you," Bai Ye said mockingly. "Do you want to know who ordered the nuclear launch?"

"You know?"

"Of course," Bai Ye said, not one to shy away from stirring things up. "But before I say anything, I need to make sure there's no one else around you and that your phone isn't being tapped."

Nick Fury glanced around, his movements catching Pierce's attention. The two, unaware of the situation, nodded to each other.

"Don't worry, no one can listen in," Nick Fury said, but the next second a voice etched into his very being rang out.

"Long live Hydra!"

Nick instinctively gripped the phone tighter: "That's impossible, Hydra is extinct."

"Really? I found something interesting at Stryker's base. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask your superior, Pierce? He's a loyal Hydra agent."

Nick Fury glanced instinctively at Pierce in the distance, who looked at Fury, who was frequently looking over, with a puzzled expression and returned a polite smile.

"It all connects! Everything connects!" A flash of inspiration seemed to strike Nick Fury. A series of clues were linked together. If that was the case, then everything made sense.

"Guess why I attacked this base? Because Stryker kidnapped Professor X and created a brainwave amplifier that could kill all the mutants in the world in minutes."

"Guess what? Since he can kill mutants, can he kill humans too?" Bai Ye smiled slightly. "Stryker has a complicated relationship with Hydra. This machine could very well fall into Hydra's hands. What will the consequences be then?"

"Hydra has already infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. very deeply. You don't want me to reveal Hydra's existence right now, do you?"

"Okay, what do you need me to do?" Nick Fury conceded.

"How could it be what I wanted to do? If I hadn't bravely stepped in and rescued Professor X from Stryker, who knows what would have happened by now."

Bai Ye laughed and said, "This time, I should have the honor of being a hero, shouldn't I? You can handle things with the human government."

"I can only do my best. Your mutant identity is inherently politically incorrect. All I can do is suppress Stryker's matter."

"It depends on your sincerity. Otherwise, if I, Bai, am unhappy, I might just massacre New York." Bai Ye said calmly and hung up the phone gently.

Listening to the dial tone after the call ended, Nick Fury fell into deep thought. At that moment, Pierce, seeing that the call had ended, came over: "What were you talking about? You seemed very anxious."

Nick Fury gave Pierce a deep look and said, "It's still about that nuclear bomb. Also, I agree to your proposal. We are too weak right now and do need a certain level of self-defense capability."

"I'm glad you agreed. I was worried you might do something rash." Pierce breathed a sigh of relief. "The selection of personnel is all your responsibility, but you must bring Reed back. He's a genius, and the project can't do without him."

"No problem, I'll definitely do a thorough investigation of the project candidates." Nick Fury said meaningfully, "Let's have a team-building event in a few days, so everyone in the organization can get together."

……

"This should be a complete solution now," Bai Ye thought to himself.

Upon hearing the person in charge say that the Sentinel Project was brought by the previous director, he immediately understood its connection to Hydra. In this situation, the most efficient thing to do was to pass the buck to Lu Dan and let him deal with the headache.

After resolving the problem, Bai Ye opened the ethereal space and saw that Qin Ge Lei had already woken up. However, after switching back to normal mode from her inner personality, she awkwardly turned her head away without saying a word when she saw Bai Ye enter.

"Qin, are you alright?"
