Chapter 432 Iron Avenger
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Insight Project is about to launch, and the Helicarrier is about to take off.
"ah??"
Joey was stunned upon receiving the news, while Captain America, standing beside him, tensed up completely, his hand gripping the shield trembling: "These Hydras are truly lawless! We must stop them!"
It is known that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been thoroughly infiltrated by Hydra.
It is also known that Hydra tampered with the Insight Project.
Finally, these hydras may have now evolved into a truly non-human creature that physically eats human flesh and drinks human blood.
So, if S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Insight Project is implemented now and the Helicarrier takes off, what will happen?
Of course, it's about using already loaded and modified weapons to launch the virus weapon from high-altitude orbit, infecting everyone within its range!
At that time, not only the dignitaries present, but the entire state of Washington and even the whole of North America will join this glorious evolution in an instant!
"I'm so angry!"
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Triangular Wing underground base in Washington, D.C., the zombified Alexander Pierce slammed his pen on the table in frustration: "This is an order! I clearly said that keeping this secret was an order, so why is it still in the newspaper?!"
The plan was originally very well-thought-out; the virus outbreak in New York City was just a small appetizer and a smokescreen, while the real focus was on Washington, D.C.
The only flaw so far is that, despite the promise to keep it a secret, it was somehow leaked to the media shortly before its launch!
These men under your command lack even the most basic discipline; what kind of Nazis are they?
"Since you've notified the White House and the Pentagon, it's equivalent to putting the message directly on the desks of those media offices."
With his face covered in blood, Sitwell replied nonchalantly, "You should know these politicians very well. They won't show their faces without media cameras and flashes."
"It doesn't matter."
Alexander Pierce touched the jagged, fangs in his mouth that were beginning to pierce him, a wave of intense hunger washing over him. He turned to Sitwell and ordered, "Remember, don't infect them all. We'll feed the rest!"
Alexander left the command room and descended the stairs one floor at a time.
As the zombie virus spread backward along the command chain, Alexander initially refused to cooperate, but after being bitten by an agent from Sitwell, he suddenly changed his mind.
This is not death or infection, but an evolution. According to Hydra's philosophy, they have simply ascended to a higher level of life form.
Moreover, they also found some unexpected surprises from the technology accumulated by S.H.I.E.L.D. over the years. For example, among the data they received from an organization codenamed DARPA, there was an experiment conducted in South Vietnam, the main result of which was "mind control".
The final result was incomplete; it could only control some creatures with simple brain structures, simplistic thinking, and mental deficiencies.
But with the zombie virus, everything changed.
These two things are a match made in heaven.
Pierce, who had already loaded a weakened version of the zombie virus into three space carriers, was already envisioning a bright future where he would rule over billions of zombies, unify the Americas, and become the King of the Undead.
At that time, the whole world will be his territory and pasture!
But now—
Finally, he reached the end of the steps, and in the underground hideout of the Tri-Wing, Pierce knocked on the prison door.
The outer isolation layer was opened, and the detention room in the prison was densely packed with people who had once been called "agents" or "technicians".
If Hydra has one redeeming quality, it's discipline—even driven by an extreme thirst for flesh, they still prioritize sustainable development.
As one of Hydra's masterminds, Pierce immediately restrained his subordinates after completing the transformation, deliberately infecting only a portion of them and leaving about two-thirds of the lucky ones imprisoned.
Or rather, an unfortunate scumbag.
Pierce clapped his hands, and a jailer who was also a zombie opened the cell door and activated the prison bell.
The Hydra zombies, huddled inside the Tri-Wing, immediately dropped what they were doing the moment the bell rang and headed toward the underground prison.
Originally, it was a signal for an emergency assembly within S.H.I.E.L.D., but now, this short ring only means one thing: it's time for dinner.
This time, the person in the cell was Senator Stern, a North American government official with close ties and deep cooperation with Hydra.
At that moment, he saw Pierce, with his white eyes and scarlet teeth, walking towards him. He was so terrified that tears and snot streamed down his face, and he soiled himself in the process: "Wait! Wait! You can't do this to me! Have you forgotten? We're in this together!"
"In cahoots?"
Pierce chuckled, revealing his sharp teeth: "No, you're nothing more than a piece of meat now."
Before accepting the zombie evolution, there might have been a distinction between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, but now the only distinction is between fellow humans and food.
Senator Stern was unlucky, since he happened to be at Tris-Wing headquarters recently.
Outside the prison, more and more people poured in. The faint sounds of their teeth grinding together overlapped, causing Stern, who heard the commotion, to collapse to the ground with a thud: "Hail Hydra! Hail-Hydra? Dr. Zomboss? Whatever, please, don't eat me! Aaaaaah~~"
No matter how much this senator, who is usually high and mighty and wields power to manipulate events, begs for mercy or tries various slogans at this moment, all they see is a piece of meat that is about to make a sound.
Moreover, with such an obese physique, this one meal is equivalent to two meals for others.
The horde of corpses surged into the cramped cell like a tidal wave, each one beginning to feast, until not even a few bones remained, leaving only the echoing screams reverberating throughout the cell.
After a hearty meal, Pierston felt his mind, which had previously been blank except for the thought of eating, had cleared considerably. He realized he had to put his plan into action as soon as possible.
The original intention was simply to infect the high-ranking military and political figures who came to observe the launch ceremony, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a terrible mistake.
This kind of thing can be done secretly, but once it's made it into the newspapers and on television, even if the other party is too busy to deal with it, they can't just ignore it.
"Prepare the bionic skin." Alexander Pierce wiped the blood clots that had begun to congeal from the corner of his mouth. "Inform them that the plan will begin ahead of schedule."
The most urgent task is to get it started as soon as possible.
"The most urgent thing is to get to Washington, D.C. and stop them!"
After learning about the upcoming launch of Project Insight, everyone reached a consensus: "The question is, who will go?"
However, there is simply no one available now. Even the aerosol zombie virus in New York has not yet found a suitable solution, let alone Washington, which is hundreds of miles away.
As a being whose immune system had withstood the zombie virus, Superman had to stay here to assist in the research (and be the subject of the research), while the other specialist doctors were too busy to be there.
"I have an idea!"
Tony snapped his fingers, and instantly more than a dozen Iron Man suits flew to the scene from the adjacent workshop. The nanobots on the outer layer of the suits began to self-program, and the original gold and red outer armor coating changed shape and color.
Blue, black, and white; red and black color schemes; dark purple color schemes —
Anyone with eyes can see that this is actually a direct correspondence to the uniforms of Avengers members such as Captain America, Black Widow, and even Hawkeye.
Don't be too surprised.
Tony raised his hand and closed Hawkeye's jaw, which was practically drooping to the floor: "Ready to become a man of steel?"
This was one of his ideas from a long time ago, originally intended to be deployed on a large scale in the Spider Legion and drone network to deal with the Kryptonians.
Unfortunately, ever since the Green Light Ring came out, he hasn't had time to improve it.
Since they are too busy to deal with it now, we can let Captain America and the others test it out first. Tony even came up with a name on the spot: "I'll call it—Iron Avengers."
