My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 536 How could Leni be Hydra?

"In 1972, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Science could no longer save my body, but my mind was worth saving and preserving. They are stored in a database two hundred thousand feet long, and you are just standing here with us. in the brain."

As the green skull named Dr. Zola said, the Arnim Zola who had soul and life in the past is indeed dead.

But his way of thinking, memory, and knowledge and understanding of things were all preserved in the form of data by the original Snake and Shield Bureau.

Therefore, at this moment, it is not an exaggeration for Steve to call himself Dr. Zola when the Green Skull he sees is called Dr. Zola.

But does he really possess the soul of Dr. Zola from the past?

Leni has asked Mephisto this question in the past, and the answer she got was of course no.

Today's Zora is just an algorithm that digitizes human memory and thinking. Perhaps we can think of it as an artificial intelligence life with the memory of Arnim Zora, and the two can even be equal.

But Zola in the past was indeed dead, and his soul returned to the embrace of the goddess of death.

"How did you get here?"

"be invited."

During Operation Paperclip at the end of World War II, SHIELD at the time believed that these "scientists" who were bewitched by Hydra and the Red Skull still had strategic value, and re-recruited them into SHIELD.

Later, these scientists did make full contributions to the scientific and technological development of SHIELD, laying a solid foundation for SHIELD's subsequent flourishing.

But this also paved the way for subsequent disasters...

"Cut off one head, and two new heads will grow."

With that shrill and strange mechanical voice, Dr. Zola uttered the hymn that once terrified people all over the world.

“Hydra was originally founded on the belief that freedom cannot be given to humans.

But what we didn’t realize at the time was that trying to take away their freedom would arouse their resistance..."

Dr. Zola controlled the display screen to show Steve and Steve a series of black and white images, which were actually the World War II Germany that was ruled by Hydra in the past. Even the Red Skull, who rarely showed his true face, was in the picture. Gone in a flash.

"After the war, SHIELD was established and I was recruited. Since then, the new Hydra has been growing, like a beautiful parasite living inside SHIELD..."

Dr. Zola's voice continued, and the historical images on the screen began to speed up rapidly.

The establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D., the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Cold War between the United States and Russia, the Cuban nuclear crisis...

A series of historical pictures flashed before Steve and the other two people, indicating that the Hydra of the past had resurrected without people realizing it.

"For the past ninety years, Hydra has been secretly fueling crises and subsequently profiting from war..."

Natasha stared at the images in front of her, and an inexplicable sense of crisis began to spread in her heart.

It wasn't until the scene flashed across a metal arm with a red five-pointed star pattern that Natasha realized where this sense of crisis came from.

"The Winter Soldier is also a Hydra..."

Natasha murmured to herself, and Steve glanced at her when he heard the words, but then he realized the seriousness of the other person's words.

The Winter Soldier he met before turned out to be a member of Hydra today!

"It's impossible, there's no way SHIELD won't stop you!"

"That's true, but accidents always happen..."

Dr. Zola's sharp mechanical voice was actually a bit sarcastic at this moment.

"When history refuses to cooperate, Hydra will change history!"

The screen on the monitor turned and showed a newspaper from 1991. What was published on it was that the genius scientist Mr. Howard Stark unfortunately passed away in a car accident.

"Howard..."

Steve murmured with a pale face, and at this moment he finally understood the meaning of Dr. Zola's words.

It turns out that the death of his friend was not an accident, but a premeditated murder by Hydra!

However, this was not over yet. The picture on the monitor continued. A news report with a time and date flashed across the black and white screen. The content was about a United Airlines Boeing 737 taking off from Los Angeles and bound for Boston. There was a crash during the landing.

Natasha's eyes suddenly froze when she saw this, her pupils couldn't help but shrink, and then she looked at the Green Skull who was still talking in disbelief.

"Hydra has created a world of extreme chaos, and humanity will eventually be ready to sacrifice freedom in exchange for true security..."

The picture on the screen was still flashing, but it had changed to the war-torn Libyan capital Tripoli; then it was Director Price who was sentenced to life imprisonment but accidentally died of an overdose of sleeping pills; he was old and elderly. Agent Carter finally died...

And Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who just passed away and was killed by the mysterious sniper Winter Soldier.

"Once our purification procedures are completed, the new world order established by Hydra will be born!"

Bang!

Unable to stand this guy's chatter any longer, Steve became so angry that he punched the largest CRT monitor in front of him, smashing the display into pieces.

However, this is of no help to Dr. Zola, who has long been transformed into a data existence.

"Anger doesn't solve anything, Captain Rogers."

The sharp sarcasm came from another small monitor next to him again.

"Although you sacrificed your life in exchange for temporary victory, the final winner is still us. Long live Hydra!"

"Hail hydra!"

Continuous Hydra declarations came out from the player, including Dr. Zola, the Red Skull, and tens of thousands of Hydra soldiers...

Men, women, and various voices were all repeating this Hydra declaration at the moment.

Eventually it turned into a sea-like pressure, surging towards the two people who were in the center of the whirlpool.

"enough!"

Steve clenched his fists, frowned deeply, and the anger in his eyes almost turned into reality.

"I have defeated you in the past, and I can do the same now! Tell me what the Insight Plan is!"

Hearing this, the data stream in the mouth of the green skull on the screen flashed, as if a sneer flashed briefly.

"What is the Insight Plan? The answer to this question is very fascinating. I answered it once not long ago, and she also asked the same question..."

Dr. Zola's voice paused, and then a female voice came from the player.

"Immortal Zola, what exactly is Project Insight?"

"Dear Miss Leni, didn't that gentleman tell you?"

"That guy is trying to make a fool of me. I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to her, so just tell me!"

Boom!

Hearing this woman's voice, Natasha and Steve's eyes could not help but widen at the same time, and their bodies and minds were shocked!

Is this voice, Leni? ! !

The two looked at each other, and then they clearly saw their own expressions at this moment in each other's pupils, which were already full of shock! "Leni, it's Hydra? How could it be?"

Natasha murmured in an unacceptable voice, but the recording that played next on the player could not tolerate Natasha's disbelief.

"Hail hydra!"

The familiar and clear voice, even though Natasha found it incredible at this moment, she could still hear that the owner of that voice was none other than Leni.

"Unfortunately, young lady, what you heard is the truth."

The sarcastic voice sounded again at this moment, and the green skull on the old screen finally transformed into a cyber ghost who had succeeded in his scheming, and laughed evilly!

"It's a pity that you two can no longer get the truth you want to pursue..."

After the words fell, two heavy metal doors quickly popped out of the elevator door at the basement entrance, completely sealing the entrance with a bang!

Even though Steve threw the shield in his hand with the fastest reaction, he still couldn't stop it in time.

Beep beep!

At the same time, intensive warning beeps came from the tactical terminal in Natasha's hand.

Natasha's face changed drastically when she heard this. When she picked it up and looked at it, her face turned pale.

"Steve, it's a short-range ballistic missile! Thirty seconds at most!"

Steve also looked shocked when he heard this.

"Who launched it?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D."

……

Di Ling Ling~

[The operation failed, Captain Rogers was not found. 】

After looking at the message displayed on her phone, Leni curled her lips in disdain.

It can only be said that in terms of toughness, no one in the entire Marvel can compare with Captain America.

A mere short-range earth-penetrating ballistic missile trying to kill both of them is simply wishful thinking.

[I know, it's expected. Let them clean up the place and don't make any big noise. 】

After typing a text and sending it back, Leni turned over, took out her cell phone and called Pierce.

"Leni? Why are you calling me at this time? Have you caught Rogers?"

Pierce on the other end of the phone didn't realize at the moment that this call was a little different from the past.

"Zola's old immortal is gone, and Rumlow and the others let Steve and the others run away again."

"what?"

Pierce almost thought for a moment that he had heard wrong, and then looked at the screen on his phone again, only to realize that the encryption program displayed on it was no longer the Zola program he had been using in the past.

"What exactly is going on?!"

"In half an hour, Steve and the others found the underground space under the bunker and met Dr. Zola..."

Leni recounted to this guy exactly what had happened before.

"Just now, news came from Rumlow. They searched the entire ruins, but could not find the shadow of the two people. In the end, they only found some clues and concluded that they had escaped."

Since this operation was a secret operation carried out within Hydra, not many people knew the specifics. Except for the combat unit that launched the short-range ballistic missile, there were only a few people who knew about their operation.

Even Pierce, the current leader of Hydra, missed this important news because he had just returned home from get off work and was enjoying the dinner prepared by the nanny at home.

The raid by Rumlow and others was carried out very quickly, and only fifteen minutes passed from the launch of the missile to the dust settling on the entire ruins.

If they hadn't spent a lot of time searching for traces, the bad news might have been reported to Pierce earlier.

"Rumlow is a man who succeeds in nothing but fails in many ways!"

Pierce hammered the table angrily, then recovered and hurried to the door of the study, opened the door and glanced at the nanny who was still busy in the kitchen.

After making sure that the other party didn't notice the movement, he closed the door again.

"I know about this matter. I have contacted the Winter Soldier and he will solve it."

"I hope so."

After hanging up the phone, Leni stood up and poured herself a glass of water, then sat on the sofa and thoughtfully played with the phone in her hand.

At the moment, everything is continuing to develop according to the established route, but I don't know whether it will still be as smooth in the future.

……

"Colson, Veronica just detected that SHIELD launched a short-range ballistic missile, targeting an abandoned military camp somewhere in New Jersey."

At the same time, the members of the investigation team far away in the Slingshot Base turned their eyes solemnly to Phil Coulson who was sitting in the main seat.

Fitz controlled the holographic screen in front of everyone and projected the images captured by the Veronica satellite onto the holographic screen.

Looking at the old camp on the holographic image, Coulson's expression couldn't help but change at this moment.

He recognized the camp. It was the same training camp where his idol, Mr. Steve Rogers, had just joined the army.

This made him wonder. Could it be that Captain Rogers, who had disappeared for a long time, was in that camp at the moment?

Noticing the difference in everyone's expressions, Xif, who was watching silently, couldn't help but curiously asked:

"That camp, what's in it?"

In order to protect SHIELD's secrets, Coulson did not inform Skye and others about what the Bureau had revealed during the day.

Skye and the others only knew that Nick Fury was assassinated last night, and they did not yet know the current situation of intrigue in the Bureau.

But even so, Melinda, who is thoughtful, and Skye, who is very concerned about SHIELD's security network, still smelled something unusual from the suddenly tense atmosphere in the Bureau.

"It was the military camp where Captain Rogers used to join the army and train. It was also the place where SHIELD was first announced to be established after the end of World War II..."

Colson spoke slowly and deeply, with a hint of anger in his tone.

He knew that SHIELD today was different from what it used to be, but he didn't expect that things would actually turn out like what Leni had said before...

By some strange coincidence, Colson reached into his pocket, and his fingertips touched a piece of paper that Leni had handed to him not long ago.

If Coulson had taken out the note at this time, the members of the investigation team would probably be surprised to find that instead of writing any words on the note, there was a very obscure pattern on it.

　Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
