Alexander, back in his seat, closed his eyes and instinctively pressed his temples.
After a while,
Alexander reopened his eyes, his face dark, grabbed the phone on the table, and once again called Anna, who had been promoted and given a raise to manage the secret Base in Japan.
But…
As Alexander's voice deepened, the voice on the other end of the line was no longer Anna's, but a sharper male voice, with a strong electronic tone.
"He guessed something happened to Anna?"
"I don't know."
Alexander said in a low voice, "But I know, if he doesn't see Anna next month, it probably won't be able to be hidden anymore."
At this point,
Alexander took a deep breath.
"How is Anna now?"
"The situation is very bad. She's being kept alive by machines, but it won't last much longer."
"Damn Mallick!"
Upon hearing this, Alexander couldn't help but curse, "He's going to destroy us."
The electronic voice on the other end of the phone, hearing this, spoke up for Mallick, "This really can't be blamed on Mallick. No one expected that two-year-old girl to have such great potential."
"Motherfucker!"
Upon hearing this, Alexander completely lost it, his voice low and furious: "Zola, you and Mallick just mess around. That damn Mallick is making artificial gametes with the Devil's blood, and he even let an experimental subject give birth naturally! Zola, you're even more damn. You keep messing with cloning people. Go on, mess around, you two just mess around. When the Devil finds out everything, at worst, I'll be buried with you."
At this moment, Alexander finally understood why HYDRA's first uprising had failed back then.
It's not the opponent that's scary, but the teammates who are like pigs.
He had thought that after the first failure, these two HYDRA leaders, one who had lived until now by relying on genetic technology since World War II, and the other who had lived until now by transforming himself into an electronic person, would learn from their experiences.
As a result…
He was too naive.
The lesson humanity learns from history is that it doesn't learn from history.
The same goes for Mallick and Zola.
The key reason for HYDRA's previous failure was that it had mocked too many enemies. If they had fought one by one at that time, they would never have failed.
The same is true now.
One took Hulk's blood and, using the DNA information in the blood, directly synthesized gametes in vitro. Then, under these impossible circumstances, they somehow managed to make an experimental subject conceive and even give birth to a healthy baby girl.
Zola was even more extreme.
Without his knowledge, he transferred Dr. Mallick, the cloning expert who was still in the Black Prison, and secretly started dabbling with Hulk's clone.
Clearly, both of these things were explicitly forbidden by Hulk before the transaction.
Only God knows how崩溃 he was when he accidentally learned about these two pig teammates' outrageous actions.
Hulk's blood was obtained under his supervision, and his initial plan was to befriend Hulk.
Even if they couldn't become friends with Hulk, they at least couldn't become enemies.
Their HYDRA couldn't bear a second failure.
Facts proved that his chosen path of befriending was very good. Anna, whom he sent to contact Hulk, was also successfully regarded as a friend by Hulk.
He had clearly planned everything.
Even if their operation failed this time, relying on Hulk's promise to Anna, even if it failed, their lives would be safe.
Unexpectedly…
The backyard caught Fire.
Alexander accidentally learned that Mallick had artificially synthesized Hulk's gametes from Hulk's blood under almost impossible circumstances, and even naturally given birth to a baby girl. His first reaction was to immediately exclude Anna and rush to Sokovia to extinguish this huge bomb.
After all, if this bomb accidentally exploded, God knows what would happen.
But just as Anna ran to Sokovia, preparing to put out the Fire on this matter, an accident occurred.
Anna was severely injured, critically ill, and is currently lying in a machine in the Base's treatment center, maintaining her life balance with the help of the machine.
And after seeing the potential of that baby girl, Mallick even protected the baby girl, stating that she would be the future of HYDRA.
Alexander was so angry at the time that his nose was crooked. He originally wanted to discuss with Zola and get Zola on his side.
As a result…
Zola gave him an even bigger surprise.
He didn't use Hulk's blood to create some male infant; he directly teamed up with Dr. Mallick to create Hulk himself.
Good heavens!
Truly good heavens.
He had specifically emphasized not to use Hulk's blood for any strange experiments when he transferred the blood to Mallick and Dr. Zola, as Hulk also said that any other experiments were fine as long as they didn't involve strange ones.
As a result, he listened, but the two leaders of his HYDRA organization, who could be called hidden dragons and phoenixes, also listened, but they interpreted "don't do anything strange" as "only do strange things."
When Alexander learned of this shocking news, his blood pressure instantly soared. If there hadn't been medicine nearby at the time, he probably would have gone to see Mephisto on the spot.
But now…
Alexander recalled Wakanda, which had turned into a vast, clean White expanse outside, and at this moment, he couldn't help but think that it would have been better if he had just died then.
At least that way of dying would have been easier.
Unfortunately, he didn't die then.
Now…
Alexander rubbed his temples, thinking about possible remedial measures: "Can Dr. Mallick get Anna's clone ready within half a month? We only have half a month."
Hulk has already come to ask, although he and Dr. Zola managed to deal with him using a method they had thought of in advance.
But what about half a month later?
Let Anna stand Hulk up?
It's feasible, but there's a certain probability of failure, and once Hulk senses something is wrong, and follows the clues, only God knows what will happen.
So now, Alexander eagerly hoped to hear the answer he wanted from Dr. Zola.
His dream was shattered.
"No time."
"Fuck!"
Alexander's brow twitched: "What? Didn't I tell you to make Anna's clone as soon as possible? Didn't we have a plan for today's events from the beginning?"
Zola explained: "Dr. Mallick has successfully synthesized a more powerful Super Soldier Serum by combining Hell Hulk's blood and Hulk's blood. Version 3.0 is currently at its most critical stage."
Alexander was almost insane.
"We're going to explode in half a month."
"Actually…"
Zola listened to Alexander's furious scolding, and his electronic voice paused, then he spoke: "We don't have half a month left."
The expression on Alexander's face froze.
"What?"
"Hulk already knows about the clone."
"What?!"
Alexander's pupils constricted, and he instinctively stood up, then reacted: "Impossible. If he knew, I would be dead by now."
S.H.I.E.L.D. is studying Hulk's personality.
HYDRA is doing the same.
And the conclusions drawn by both are almost identical.
Neutral and free!
Without actively provoking Hulk, Hulk generally remains neutral, spending his days either at school or accompanying his fiancée home from school.
But when someone provokes Hulk, Hulk's counterattack comes very quickly, almost without giving anyone time to react.
So…
If Hulk knew about the clone, could he still be alive just now?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"But that's the truth."
Zola's electronic voice on the other end of the phone said, "Maria Hill has authorized Sharon Carter to take Dr. Mallick from the Black Prison. Once Sharon goes, and he finds Dr. Mallick missing, we will be exposed."
Upon hearing this, Alexander said in a deep voice, "Then put Dr. Mallick back first."
Zola flatly refused.
"No!"
"What?"
Alexander laughed.
Indeed.
When people are speechless, they will laugh.
Zola's electronic voice explained, "Once Hulk 3.0 is successful, plus the saint cloth fragments we've collected, even Hulk himself won't be able to contend with us."
Alexander was expressionless.
"Are you sure?"
"The data won't be wrong."
"…"
Listening to this, Alexander not only had no expression on his face, but even his tone no longer held the anger it had just moments ago.
But similarly, there was no surprise or anticipation either.
As if he had given up.
"Then what do you plan to do?"
"The time has come."
"What time has come?"
"The time to launch the second struggle."
"Heh heh."
"Why are you laughing?"
"I thought of something very happy."
Alexander, with a forced smile, took off his glasses and placed them on the table in front of him, then took a deep breath, looked up, and stared at the ceiling with both eyes: "I was wrong, I was really wrong. If I hadn't been blind back then, I wouldn't have joined HYDRA. If I hadn't joined HYDRA, I wouldn't have fallen to where I am now…"
At this point,
Alexander's expression became terrifying. Grabbing the phone, he almost hissed, "I wouldn't have fallen to working with two idiots who are so stupid they belong in a museum. Launch it now? Are you saying you want us to die faster? Don't you know Hulk is still in New York City?!"
Zola ignored Alexander's ferocity: "Now is the best time. The Insight Project has also been initially launched. Tony Stark has gone to Korea, Thor has gone to New Mexico, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s high-level combat forces, Natasha and Hawkeye, are still in Africa."
Alexander was expressionless: "Captain is still in Washington, and Hulk has also returned to New York City."
Zola's electronic voice had no fluctuations.
"We have Vibranium weapons. Captain is nothing to fear."
"As for Hulk…"
"He won't be in New York City for long. This is our chance. By the time he comes back, our Hulk 3.0 will also be out."
"…"
