A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"Now, do you still want to resist? You Chinese have an old saying: 'To put up a stubborn resistance!'"

Cao Gui: "..."

As expected of a villain, he loves to talk too much.

Judging by the time, the locator should be activated by now, right? I wonder how things are going in Sitwell.

……

High above, though there was nothing there, a booming sound could be clearly heard, as if a machine was running.

Inside a room on the space carrier.

"It's really strange," Black Widow said, frowning as she organized her equipment.

"Sitwell doesn't seem to care much about his godson being in the enemy's hands for at least three hours?"

Hawkeye screwed the arrow shaft onto his own arrow, his brow furrowing as well. After Gatler, who was in charge of the Paris operation, returned and reported the matter, Sitwell simply nodded, and the matter was considered closed.

"Perhaps that person has some special abilities," Hawkeye said nonchalantly. No matter how you look at it, he couldn't afford to offend him, so he shouldn't be curious.

Just then, Captain America walked in: "Alright, enough chit-chat, we need to rescue our people. Let's get going."

In the bridge command room, Sitwell stared at the map in deep thought, waiting for the positioning signal to appear.

"Sir, the fighter jets are ready." An officer ran up behind him, saluted, and said, "They can take off at any time."

"What about the energy shield on the hull?" Sitwell asked in a deep voice. The known intelligence already proved that the enemy had energy weapons. The energy shield had to be activated, otherwise the space carrier would not be able to withstand an energy attack.

"Ready." The officer behind him stood at attention and said, "Once the fighter jets have taken off, the energy shield will be activated."

“Very good…” Sitwell nodded in satisfaction.

"Sir..." The man frowned and said in a low voice, "I heard that the executor of the Trojan Horse Project is your godson?"

“Yes,” Sitwell did not deny it.

“This kind of thing could actually be done by someone else; we shouldn’t let him take the risk,” the man said with a serious expression.

Sitwell's eyelids twitched. If he didn't know that the person in front of him was a trusted confidant who had followed him for a long time, he would have suspected that this was flattery.

"I believe in him, he'll be alright," Sitwell said seriously. Cao Gui was exceptionally powerful; even the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. combined wouldn't be a match for him. But... this kind of thing couldn't be said outright.

beep~

At that moment, a red light flashed on the screen, and Sitwell's face hardened: "Prepare for battle!"

……

At a base on a small island in the Arctic.

“I have a question I’m very curious about,” Cao Gui said.

Seeing that the person who had been silent had finally spoken, the masked man nodded slightly: "Ask away. You have an old saying, 'Forgive and forget.' I won't hold your previous resistance against you against me."

"As long as you cooperate, everything is negotiable."

"Where is Loki's scepter?" Cao Gui smiled and said, "How about giving it to me?"

The masked man's exposed pupils immediately contracted; his target was Loki's scepter.

"Have you heard the old saying from our Celestial Empire?" Cao Gui clenched his fist, and a flintlock pistol appeared in his hand. He chuckled lightly.

"Wow... Wow, that's awesome!"

boom!

A flash of gunfire, and the lead pellet shot out. A pool of blood slowly appeared between the masked man's legs, and Cao Gui easily broke free of his restraints.

I'll add an extra chapter tomorrow to make up for the leave I mentioned before. Also, I'd like to recommend a book; if you like Zerg, you can check it out. The link is below.

Chapter 417 Neo the Serpent Demon's Technology

"Aaaaaah—!" The masked man clutched his groin and wailed, partly from the heartbreak of losing his beloved chicken, and partly from the real pain!

The pain of losing everything is no joke; even a real man can't withstand it.

"Tell me, who is your boss?" Cao Gui kicked him, pulling him out of his pain, his flintlock pistol flashing as he aimed at his vital points.

This guy has modified many people with nanobots, but strangely, he hasn't modified himself.

"Who...who exactly are you..." the masked man asked with difficulty, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Hmm?" Cao Gui snorted coldly, raised his foot and stepped on... the spot where the chicken was cut in half. Should I ask the question or should you ask the question?

"Ah...stop! I'll talk, I'll talk!" the masked man shouted repeatedly. "It's Baron Strucker!"

"Really..." Cao Gui said in surprise, "You actually dare to provoke S.H.I.E.L.D.? Aren't you afraid they'll find out about your existence?"

"Haha... Cut off one head and two will grow back. We are Hydra, and S.H.I.E.L.D. can never destroy us!" the masked man laughed maniacally.

Cao Gui was speechless for a moment. He roughly understood that S.H.I.E.L.D. had always known that Hydra existed in the world and had been working to combat it.

This is why they build aircraft carriers and spare no effort in searching for superhumans. They not only want to take superhumans for themselves, but also want to destroy them if they can't have them, so as not to leave them to Hydra.

The fight against Hydra is also the reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. can exist in this world. It is the foundation of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s existence. Otherwise, S.H.I.E.L.D., which has occupied so many resources, would have been wiped out by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council long ago.

Even the five permanent members of the UN Security Council don't have a space carrier, but S.H.I.E.L.D. does. Aren't you bullying honest people?

Therefore, in the original comics, Captain America and his team were not shocked that Hydra was still alive, but that Hydra had actually infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. and even taken the position of Security Council representative.

"Where is Loki's scepter?" Cao Gui asked.

“Not here, with Baron Strucker…” the masked man said breathlessly. The flintlock pistol wasn’t very powerful; if it didn’t hit a vital spot, or if the distance was too close, it wouldn’t cause much damage.

But it's really painful to have a lead pellet stuck in your body, rubbing against your flesh.

Where is Baron Strucker?

“I don’t know…” the masked man shook his head and said, “He rarely shows himself, no one knows where he is…”

“Troublesome…” Cao Gui muttered, then grabbed him and lifted him up: “Give me the Neo Serpent Demon technology you mentioned earlier.”

Facing the gun, the masked man gave a bitter smile; he was just a researcher.

But facing the gun, not wanting to die, he could only obediently lead Cao Gui to the control panel, copy the data into the hard drive Cao Gui provided, and incidentally, Cao Gui also put several bottles of nanobug solution into his personal space.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Cao Gui smiled and raised his flintlock pistol, aiming it at the masked man.

"Heh...you can't escape this base..." the masked man said, his face pale. As soon as he finished speaking, the alarm lights in the passage began to flash rapidly, and the ear-piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire base. He knew he was going to die, so he thought of taking Cao Gui with him to die.

Inside the base's control room, a middle-aged white man with a very bald forehead was directing his soldiers to load nano-solution warheads into missiles.

But then the alarm lights suddenly started flashing. Faced with this situation, the bald-headed middle-aged white man was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately. He even thought for a moment that someone had made a mistake.

This is the Arctic, a land of ice and snow, where no one could possibly invade.

But Anna, the married woman behind him, and White Ghost didn't think so. They exchanged a glance and thought of the Asian youth they had brought back.

"Damn it!" White Ghost's expression changed drastically. He grabbed the katana beside him and strode toward the research lab, while Anna behind him switched to two energy weapons and headed in another direction.

"McCarran, prepare to evacuate!" Anna shouted to McCarran behind her, who seemed unaware of what was happening. The fact that the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent was able to break free meant that S.H.I.E.L.D. was likely about to arrive.

"Fuck you..." the middle-aged man with a shiny forehead named McCallen cursed angrily, and followed Anna toward the hangar.

Meanwhile, Cao Gui wandered aimlessly in the experimental area and saw many things he shouldn't have seen. People here were conducting human experiments on living people, although it didn't seem like anything on the surface.

However, many people's inner selves have been transformed into various bizarre shapes. In Cao Gui's perception, these people locked in the experimental pods are no different from monsters wearing human skin.

"They're misusing the Mind Stone's energy like this?" Cao Gui murmured. His previous guess was wrong; these people weren't just simply channeling energy.

“Baron Strucker… could he be the Hydra who created Quicksilver and Wanda?” Cao Gui pondered, but he couldn’t find Wanda and Quicksilver here.

"Could they be in Sokovia?" After thinking for a moment and finding no more useful clues, Cao Gui turned and left. The people from S.H.I.E.L.D. should be here soon; he should leave this base first.

But at that moment, a cold light flashed behind him, and a sharp samurai sword suddenly slashed down from behind, aiming for Cao Gui's neck.

Cao Gui swayed and dodged his slash. With a clang, the samurai sword cleaved through a steel frame, instantly splitting it in two.

"You really are extraordinary!" White Ghost stared at Cao Gui, his gaze dark and sinister.

"You can play all you want, I'm leaving now." Cao Gui chuckled, flipped his hand to take out a controller, pressed it, and slowly retreated.

"Damn it, don't even think about running!" White Ghost shouted, wielding his long sword as he chased after Cao Gui. But just then, several burly men rushed out from a corner of the laboratory and attacked White Ghost.

This is what the masked man called Neo the Serpent Demon, a group of people whose nerves have been controlled by nanobots.

"Damn it!" White Ghost roared, wielding his katana and slashing left and right, but a large number of his own men rushed at him. White Ghost was unable to break free from these mindless people for a short time and could only watch helplessly as Cao Gui left.

Above the sky, a Quinjet was flying fast. They only knew the location of the enemy base, but not its firepower. So, just in case, once Cao Gui was rescued, a space carrier would launch a devastating attack on him.

There is no mercy within S.H.I.E.L.D. towards Hydra. If they can find clues, they will search; if not, they will not force it. They will eliminate them first.

Looking down at the icy landscape, Hawkeye frowned. Because the Arctic is not heavily inhabited by humans, there is less interference, so satellites often fly over the Arctic.

But how come they didn't find Hydra's base here? How did they manage that?

Dick dick~

"We've been locked onto by radar!" Hawkeye said in a deep voice. He moved his hand, pressed a switch, and then pulled up the control stick, lifting the Quinjet into the air.

Whoosh whoosh~

A row of infrared decoy flares was launched from the aircraft, and at the same time, two anti-aircraft missiles were fired, detonating on the decoy flares and creating two huge fireballs.

The people inside the plane shuddered as the airflow caused the Quinjet to sway from side to side. Fortunately, Patton's piloting skills were quite good, and he managed to barely control the situation.

Below, a snowmobile is speeding through the snow, watching the Quinjet fighter jets swaying in the sky.

Cao Gui sighed, took out his satellite phone, and dialed Sitwell's number.

"Luckily I didn't join S.H.I.E.L.D., they're all a bunch of noobs..." Cao Gui was extremely grateful and thanked Sitwell.

Chapter 418 Insight Project

Inside the Quinjet, just as it was preparing to dive down and break through the outer defenses of the Hydra base, the Quinjet suddenly turned around and rapidly gained altitude.

"Sir, what happened?" Hawkeye asked nervously, glancing at the control panel as Sitwell suddenly contacted them.
