273 Chapter 273 Old Friends Reunited, Superman Returns (2/2)
...
Boom!Boom boom boom!
Several ball lightnings containing high-temperature energy evaporated the killer that appeared later into a ball of coke.
”It should be gone this time.”
Captain America wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, turned his head and said to Howard.
That car, like Wuling Hongguang, had unlimited space, and ten people came down in batches.
It was like a steady stream of small bases for explosive forces.
”I wonder if it is a car or... an unusual car.”
Howard lifted his chin and motioned to Captain America to take the lead and go to investigate the reality.
The latter has no objection, holding the iconic vibrating shield in his right hand to prevent accidents like explosions.
Tear!
Pulling the door with his bare hands, Rogers saw a silver-white computer with a science fiction appearance.
Several red and green lines are connected to ten culture flasks. Just follow the established procedure to ripen and grow.
”It's Essex Biotech's technology.”
Rogers was not surprised. He had seen the same clone fighters in the Soviet Union and Hydra.
Those killers with empty eyes and no emotions, according to the compiled gene template, are like batch products on the assembly line, and they are continuously delivered.
”Such biotechnology is at least more than a century ahead of the current one!”
Howard glanced a few times and made a judgment.
He has always regarded the recent rise of Essex Biotech as a replica of ”Hammer Industries” that relies on government support and contacts.
But seeing the cutting-edge technologies such as breeding bottles, gene editing, and overdraft maturation, I couldn't help being shocked.
This is not something that can be researched casually!
”I have seen similar clone fighters.”
Rogers said in a deep voice.
”Learning that Superman had disappeared, I was ready to come back as soon as possible, but on the way back, I encountered a large-scale attack.”
Howard's eyes dimmed slightly, and he felt a large net covering him.
Not only oneself, but any person or thing related to Superman, or that might threaten the other party, must be erased.
”I found similar serial numbers on some clone fighters. They are all produced by Essex.”
Rogers continued.
He took the Roaring Commando, conducted a long-term reconnaissance, and gained some secret information.
”Hydra has close ties to this company, and the helm of Essex, Nathaniel, has always been simple and low-key.”
”However, according to my investigation, this person has close ties with the White House.”
”Connect these clues together, and we can come up with a complete web of relationships.”
Hearing this analysis of Captain America, Howard nodded slightly, completely consistent with his guess.
”I still have some... more exciting information that I want to share with you.”
He stroked his mustache and said in a deep voice.
The president may be a future man posing, Superman left this universe...
Compared with the above, these two news may be more difficult to digest.
If it were not for good psychological quality and strong receptivity, Captain America would definitely think Howard was crazy to tell such an outrageous ”truth.”
”Go to my house first. By the way, you are the one who came in this afternoon?”
Captain America nodded and followed the vine. After finding out the rudiment of the black hand behind the scenes, he wanted to contact Howard.
In the absence of Luke, he is trustworthy and the only one who can help is probably the latter.
Howard got into the undamaged car and planned to head to the villa on Long Island.
His Iron Overlord power armor is there. If Essex Biological Company launches a second round of attacks, his first machine will definitely surprise the opponent.
”Did you gain anything in the Soviet Union? I mean, about Barnes.”
While driving, Howard took the initiative to find a topic.
He heard Luke talk about it, Captain America has a deep relationship with Bucky, and his friendship is deep.
Knowing that the latter might be in the Soviet Union and fall into the hands of Leviathan, Rogers, who was thinking about retirement, did not hesitate to abandon his girlfriend who was in love and sneak into Moscow with a roaring commando.
This kind of friendship makes Howard sometimes over-speculate.
”We stayed in Moscow for two months, bumped into the agents of the Red House, and were almost eliminated by them.”
Rogers recalled the days when he was incognito, changed identities, and lurked in Moscow.
”It is said that the Red House is a secret organization dedicated to training spies, agents, and assassins by Leviathan.”
”They took in many war orphans, and taught etiquette, culture, and dance skills so that they could enter the upper echelons in the future.”
”Of course, shooting, interrogation, counter-interrogation, and close combat... these are also required courses.”
”There, everyone is a tool. The best will get the title of'Black Widow'.”
Rogerston paused, and the image of a blonde woman came to mind.
”I ran into a black widow. It was not easy to escape the trap with the Roaring Commando.”
Howard raised his eyebrows. He has always been very sexually interested in female spies and agents.
In Luke's words, it means to eat the icing, and then the shells are shot back.
”Bucky is indeed in the clutches of Leviathan. He has a new name, Winter Soldier.”
Speaking of good friends, Rogers's tone is a bit complicated.
”It's a pity that I couldn't bring him back.”
”Bucky's existence and his plan of action are classified in Leviathan and I have no access to it.”
”In addition to Luke's accident and sudden disappearance, I can only temporarily give up the idea of rescuing him.”
Howard was silent for a moment, and the top priority was to determine the whereabouts of Superman and then bring him back.
As long as Luke is in, S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as the Cold War competition between him and Captain America, and even the two superpowers, all the dangers can be solved.
This is the status of Superman!
A weight that can change the world situation!
”Arrived.”
The car drove straight in and stopped at the door of the Long Island Villa.
”Jarvis shouldn't sleep yet.”
Howard got out of the car and raised his hand to look at the time.
His personal housekeeper is usually busy until after twelve o'clock, and will not go to bed until after twelve o'clock.
”If you are hungry, you can ask him to make a sandwich or something.”
Captain America was holding his stomach, he was indeed a little hungry.
As a warship class soldier, energy consumption also needs to be supplemented.
”Wait! Something is wrong!”
Howard opened the door and saw the light in the living room, but Jarvis the butler did not come to greet him.
This is very abnormal behavior.
His housekeeper has always done his best.
From personal etiquette to ability to do things, there is nothing wrong with it.
Every time, as long as Howard goes home, the other party will definitely stand at the door.
”It may be dangerous...”
Howard stepped lightly, and Captain America walked ahead and raised the gold shield.
The two of them crept into the living room slowly.
They saw a man sitting at the table, taller than Jarvis.
”I said, old friends reunited, shouldn't you be more excited?”
The familiar voice rang suddenly, startling the two nervously tense people.
The man at the table turned around, smiling.
