Blackwatch Station.
Now that Manhattan is under martial law, any disturbance in the city will immediately appear on General Peter's desk.
At this moment, he was sitting in his office with a frown on his face, looking at the report in his hand. Beside him, his confidant Robert Hoss was standing silently.
Snapped!
The documents were left on the table.
General Peter stood up and said angrily: "I remember that we have spies on the other side, but now, we did not get the necessary information in advance."
"What do you say, Lieutenant?"
General Peter looked over with a cold gaze.
After confirming that it was Alex Mercer who stole the Blacklight virus, they immediately arrested all the people related to Alex Mercer and interrogated them.
After learning that the dead Alex Mercer was alive again and had fully mastered the power of the Blacklight Virus, his approach to capturing people changed.
Among them, Karen Parker, a virology expert and Alex's girlfriend, was chosen.
After some discussion and persuasion from fellow virologist Raymond McMullen, Karen Parker decisively switched sides and volunteered to become a spy to infiltrate Alex Mercer.
The person in charge of contacting her, codenamed Black Mamba, is Lieutenant Robert Hoss in front of her.
But since this spy was sent to Alex, not only has there been no news for such a long time, but even the signal implanted in the body as a positioning device has disappeared without a trace. It is inevitable that people wonder whether the other party has betrayed him again.
Robert was silent for a while and said, "This is my mistake, General. I will find out their location as soon as possible."
He felt a little aggrieved. Although he was responsible for this matter, it was Dr. Raymond McMullen who was the main promoter. It was also under his guarantee that this plan was carried out.
Now that he is being reprimanded, it is inevitable that he is suspected of taking the blame.
However, he also knew the general's reasons for doing so.
After losing his official identity as the head of the Jintek Group and being wanted worldwide, Dr. Raymond's situation within the organization has become precarious.
Even with the general's support, rumors were rife within the organization, and many people wanted to kill him in one fell swoop and swallow up Dr. Raymond's resources.
However, as the leader, the general could not show too much favoritism in public, so even though he knew the problem should not be blamed on him, he had no choice but to let him take the blame.
Of course, as a direct descendant of the general, he believed that as long as he honestly admitted his mistake, the general would not dwell on this issue too much.
Sure enough, after hearing what Robert said, General Peter snorted coldly and said, "You will be given two days to find Alex. If you can't find him, I will take off your military uniform!"
"Yes! I guarantee to complete the task." Robert agreed without any pressure.
It's just about finding Alex, not looking for their new base, so the difficulty of this task is almost zero.
The general listened and looked at him, then walked around the room twice, stopped and said, "Alex Mercer and Colin Blake are mixed up, which is a big trouble for our future plans... How is the doctor doing now? To deal with those monsters, we need equally powerful soldiers to fight!"
"Currently, the first batch of ten super soldiers has been successful. According to tests, except for a certain decrease in IQ, their physical fitness far exceeds that of the super soldier program back then. However, there have been heavy casualties, and the failure ratio to success ratio is as high as ten to one. If this continues, even we will find it difficult to sustain it." Robert said after thinking back.
In fact, they don’t mind just sacrificing themselves. What’s more important is that the super soldiers they have created can only survive for less than four months.
Using a lot of resources and manpower only resulted in some disposable soldiers. No matter how rich Hydra is, it can't support it.
General Peter's face changed when he heard this ratio. He hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "We must gather fifty. No matter what, we cannot fail this time!"
"Yes!" Robert replied.
Hearing the answer, General Peter temporarily suppressed the pain in his heart and changed the subject, asking: "Doctor, what do you think of Elizabeth's action against Alex this time?"
The person who has done the longest and most in-depth research on the Blacklight Virus is Raymond McCormack. If it comes to anything related to the Blacklight Virus, you can always go to him.
"The doctor doesn't have a clear opinion either, he just guessed that it might be related to the further evolution of the Blacklight virus." Robert said, thinking about the previous conversation with Raymond in the Blackwatch secret base.
"Really? Then..."
As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.
General Peter temporarily lowered his voice and shouted "Come in". A soldier came in, saluted and said:
"General, General Sid called and asked you to go to the command center to discuss the elimination of the virus."
General Peter frowned and thought for a moment. Seeing that the messenger was still there, he waved his hand and said, "I understand. You can go down."
The soldier received the order, saluted again and left.
General Peter watched, then turned to Robert and instructed, "I'll go see what that old fox is planning. If there's anything going on in the army, send someone to inform me at any time."
"Yes, General."
Robert agreed and watched General Peter leave.
…
In downtown Manhattan, Lupin and his crew are inside a safe house.
Faced with Colin's proposal, Dana hesitated for a while and agreed.
Although she wanted to face these dangers with Alex, now that she had become a burden, she would not choose to reduce Alex's burden if she had the chance.
Karen agreed shortly after Dana nodded.
She did want to stay, but she couldn't think of a suitable reason to object, so she had to agree to go to Dubai.
"... ok... that's it... hey, come on man, more when I get over there."
After hanging up the phone, Colin looked at the two women and said, "I've already said hello over there. If there's nothing else, we'll leave now."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and opened a portal to Dubai in the house.
Dana looked at him, stepped forward, hugged Alex tightly and said, "Be careful."
"I will." Alex replied seriously.
Dana smiled as she listened, let go of Alex, came behind Karen, and pushed in the direction of Alex.
She still recognized Karen as her sister-in-law. She was beautiful, smart, had a good personality, and was very nice to her. Most importantly, even after seeing Alex's current appearance, she still stayed with him.
Such a good woman is hard to find in today's era. After noticing some gap between the two of them, she often thinks about how to eliminate this gap. Now is a good opportunity.
Karen was pushed forward and staggered two steps before stopping. She turned around and looked at Dana's cheering gesture. She forced a smile and looked at Alex. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Take care of yourself."
"Yeah!" Alex's eyes moved and he responded.
Dana, who was standing behind him, saw this and walked forward to hit Alex hard, saying, "You blockhead, why don't you take the initiative?" Then, she smiled and said to Karen, "Don't be angry, Karen. You know that Alex has lost a lot of memory. Just wait for him to find it back."
"I know, Dana," Karen said with a forced smile.
Dana was about to say something, but Colin, who had been watching the show, said, "Now that we've said goodbye, let's go. Also, it's different over there, so you can't walk around with a skeleton."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and took back the skeleton warrior following Dana.
Dana exclaimed, looking a little annoyed. Colin glanced at her and didn't care. He said to the others, "If there is anything important, please contact me at any time. If nothing unexpected happens, I should stay there for a while."
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems here." Lupin waved his hand to drive people away.
Colin looked at them and smiled, without saying anything more, he took Dana and Karen and walked into the portal.
Inside the house.
As the portal faded into nothingness, Lupin looked at Alex and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"Find Elizabeth Green and find out why she came to attack me." As he spoke, a murderous look flashed across his face. After a pause, he asked, "What about you? Do you need my help?"
Since he had promised Colin, he would not just deal with it casually.
"Then go and look for evidence. After all, this is our main task."
"As for help, I don't need it for now. I will contact you if I need it."
Lupin touched his chin, thought for a moment and asked, "You want to go find Elizabeth, can you beat her now?"
He remembered that Alex said he was defeated in one move last time. Now only two or three days have passed, and he has the confidence to face it
If this is true, the increase in strength is too exaggerated.
"At least there's no problem escaping." Alex replied with a cold look in his eyes after hearing the question.
Compared to when he first met Elizabeth, the meditation method he acquired allowed him to use the energy in his body more efficiently. The hunter's absorption and huge life energy allowed his body to evolve many times towards a stronger direction.
Up to now, his strength has increased several times compared to that day. Even if he still cannot defeat that mysterious woman, he has the confidence to stand in front of her.
Moreover, you could say that he was vindictive or something else, but he could not tolerate not taking revenge when someone came to his door and beat him up.
He has to come and have a fight with me to avenge the death of his relative today!
As he thought about it, a cold light flashed in his eyes. After asking someone to contact him if he had anything, he walked straight out of the house.
Inside the house, looking at the closed door, Ciyuan found a sofa and sat down comfortably.
"Everyone's gone. We're the only ones left. What should we do next, Lupin?"
"Let's start with the so-called secret base we overheard earlier. I asked Miss Hacker to check it based on the map of the entire Manhattan Island. I think we have some clues now."
Lupin said as he turned on his computer to contact Skye who had been disconnected.
Jiyuan took a look and didn't ask any more questions. He turned to look at Fujiko who was standing there, thinking about something, and said, "You're not leaving this time?"
As he spoke, he expressed his dissatisfaction with her leaving alone last time.
"Everyone outside is searching for us. Where should we go?" Fujiko rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
He didn't want to take risks with Lupin and the others, but if she was left alone now, the situation would only become more dangerous.
The problem this time is very different from the previous ones where you just stole some things and obtained some information.
But she was not sure that she could save her life on her own.
"OK!"
Lupin, who was sitting in front of the computer, suddenly shouted, and Goemon, who was holding the sword, opened his eyes and said, "Have you found a clue?"
Lupin listened and answered, "Ah, Miss Hacker has found two particularly suspicious places based on the clues. Let's go to the closer one first."
"gone!"
He stood up with his hands on the chair, called his partner, and walked out the door.
…
In a spacious and luxurious single-family villa in Dubai, a dark portal slowly opened, and three figures, one man and two women, walked out.
This house belonged to Wahar, but now it has been given to Joseph for use.
“This is Dubai?”
Looking at the scenery in front of her, Dana muttered softly, saying that this was her first time going abroad.
But perhaps because it was just one step, it didn't feel very real at this moment.
Karen was also looking around the room, and it was obvious that she was also somewhat curious about this place.
"This is the residence of a friend of mine." Looking at the two people looking around, Colin introduced: "You will probably need to live here for a while. If you need anything, just let me know. The owner of this place is a super rich man, so please don't hesitate to ask."
Colin joked kindly. Dana watched and got rid of some of her nervousness towards him. She rolled her eyes and said, "I want my little black one more now."
But she was still thinking about the skeleton that was taken away.
Colin felt a little embarrassed when he heard footsteps outside the door. He felt relieved and pretended he didn't hear what Dana said and walked towards the door.
Behind him, Dana pouted in dissatisfaction, but she was still somewhat afraid of Colin in her heart, so she didn't bother to argue with him.
"You came here really quickly. I rushed here as soon as I received your call!"
As soon as the door opened, Joseph saw Colin and excitedly went forward to hug him.
"My portal allows you to come directly through with just one step, which is much faster than running up and down the stairs." Colin explained with a smile, leaned sideways, pointed at the two people and introduced them to Yosel: "This is Dana, my comrade's sister, a very smart girl."
"Hello." After listening to the introduction, Dana was not nervous and extended her hand confidently.
Joseph shook his hand and said seriously, "Sir, Colin's friend, nice to meet you."
"This is Karen, my comrade's girlfriend, a very good virology expert!" Colin looked at her and pointed at Karen and introduced her.
Karen also extended her hand and said hello.
After they were introduced to each other, Colin said to Joseph, "Some problems have occurred in Manhattan, so I brought Dana and Karen here to take shelter for a while. I'll trouble you to take care of them from now on."
