The next morning, Merlin arrived at his office in the Trident Building on time.

Ah, it feels great to be able to go to work with teleportation, there is no pressure to commute or be late.

However, this also made Merlin seem elusive in the eyes of ordinary agents. In the office area near his office, some rumor about the internal affairs agents have begun to spread among the office.

Merlin first processed some of the documents, all of which were related to the Intelligent Machinery Plan.

Hill is very efficient in its work. In just a few days, several companies invited before have sent back their reply. Lakes Group and Stark Industries have agreed to the opinions on forming the Onika Consortium. Wayne Industries is still considering it, but it should be able to get a reply soon.

The only troublesome thing is the country Wakanda.

The last meeting between Merlin and Prince Techara and Princess Su Rui was not very pleasant. Wakanda has developed technology and a relatively open humanistic concept. They accepted a lot of smart machines and planned to give those smart machines citizenship rights, which is not consistent with the planning of the smart machines plan.

Agent Hill is currently in difficult consultations with the Wakanda royal family to include Wakanda's smart weapons in the big plan for smart weapons.

According to the World Security Council's opinion, the first intelligent equipment center of the Onik Consortium will be established in Africa, with a vast land and sparsely populated areas, and the news there will not be much attention from the mainstream world. Even if there is a problem, it can be covered up in time.

The area they chose was a small city called Nubani, which was located in the Nigerian prairie and was extremely well-known and suitable for secret work.

And there is very close to Wakanda. If the Wakanda royal family can give a positive answer, the construction of the first intelligent equipment center of the Onika Consortium will inevitably be very fast.

Although, in the current world situation, Wakanda still appears as a poor and backward third world country, among S.H.E.L.D. and several directors of the World Security Council, Wakanda, which is so advanced that it is almost out of touch with the world, is undoubtedly a country that must be paid attention to.

"Maybe it's time to meet Ororo."

Merlin looked at the meeting records sent back by Agent Hill, and frowned and said:

"Impress Techara's thoughts through Ororo...well, Madam diplomacy?"

He shook his head, feeling that his thoughts were a bit strange, but if you think about it carefully, the success rate of doing this is actually quite high.

After all, since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty. If Ororo can convince Ororo, then relying on the pillow style of the future Queen Wakanda may allow Prince Techara to change his persistence.

"Yeah, it's worth trying."

Merlin put down the document, pushed her glasses, and said to Icarus:

"Help me contact Ms. Ororo to see when she has time and invite her out for a meal. Also, is there any result in monitoring the Hydra communication program?"

"have."

Icarus quickly posted the communication records that he had monitored these days on Merlin's lenses, and she said:

"It is probably because of the accidental death of 'Speaker' Gideon Malik, the remaining Hydra molecules felt the pressure. In the past few days, their internal connections have been very active. I have locked in 1,383 different communication signals, and their nodes are distributed throughout the world."

A world map appeared on the lens in front of Merlin, with dense red dots marked in different positions.

Those are Hydra elements who are in touch with each other through the Hydra contact program.

Merlin's eyes fell on the northeast of the world map. He enlarged the map of North America and found that there were many red dots in the East Coast area. He narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, he said:

"How many communication signals are there in S.H.I.E.D.?"

“Not much, but not much.”

Icarus marked S.H.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E

"At present, there are 74 internal signals of SHIELD, and 58 Hydra molecules have been confirmed, including 33 agents above level 4, and almost all branches in each of SHIELD's systems... According to the current frequency of data collection and the internal system of SHIELD, there are at least 1,500 Hydra molecules hidden in every 20,000 employees of SHIELD."

"oops..."

Merlin sighed helplessly:

"It's really penetrated into a sieve. Can you find a way to 'induce' them out at one time?"

“You can try.”

Icarus replied:

"I can use Gideon Malik's highest authority to issue a special order to S.H.E.L.D. employees in the communication system, but this attempt can only take effect once, and it may not necessarily trick all Hydra elements out."

"However, in addition to this risky approach, there is another safer way."

The little sister of artificial intelligence suggested to Merlin:

"Any communication system has a core database. In theory, any member information added to this communication system will be stored in the database of this communication program. So, if we can find the location of the database and back it up before the data is self-destructed, then we can discover and clear all the Hydra molecules that are still present at one time."

"Well, this sounds good."

Merlin played with the signature pen placed on the table, and he said:

"The question is, Miss Icarus, who can do everything, tell me where is that database?"

"Sokovia!"

On Icarus' lenses, the world map moved rapidly, and finally locked in the direction of the small Eastern European city of Sokovia. She said to Merlin:

"Through data return and location, I can confirm that the database of Hydra communication system is hidden in the mountainous areas near Sokovia, which is also the place where Hydra remnants who are still being hunted by European branches. They are commanded and managed by Dr. Liszt, who escaped many pursuits by chance."

Icarus also thoughtfully placed Dr. Liszt's photo in front of Merlin, which surprised Merlin.

"I remember I issued a chasing order for this guy a few years ago... He is still alive now? He can really escape. But since the location of the database has been determined, there is no need to wait any longer."

Merlin moved his fingers and said:

"Carry a fixed-point clearance operation. This time, let's dig up the remaining Hydras!"

"Well...just, the 'Death' project has made some progress, so let me see how powerful this monkey version of Merlin, which Fury has high hopes for, can be."

Ghost Base, Biological Laboratory.

Ms. Moira, who had a cold face, held a special tablet computer, carried an identity card, and after triple identity detection, she came to the deepest part of the laboratory.

In front of her, there was a test chamber like a honeycomb. The shape of the thing was very similar to the quantum restraint warehouse used by Little Ava. They were all from the same designer, and Dr. Hall, a great man in mechanical engineering, also participated in the design.

In short, this experimental cabin was specially customized for the "Death God" project officially launched a month ago. After a month of experiments and strengthening, the strengthening stage of the first "Death God" experimental subject has been initially completed.

"Ba, bha"

Dr. Moira glanced at the man lying in the experimental cabin. The guy was selected from the special reaction force of SHIELD. He looked in his 30s, wearing a black tights, with a strong appearance, a bulging muscles, and a superb figure.

But this guy is also pitiful. He suffered from an impossible cancer in his prime. In order to survive in his life, he had to join the "God of Death" project.

“No. 24!”

Dr. Moira wears a special communicator on her ear, she says:

"Get up!"

"Swish"

Between the black fog, the experimental subject that received the order was very similar to Merlin's posture when he moved in battle. Between the black fog, he stood in the experimental cabin in a standard military posture.

He looked at Dr. Moira, his eyes full of the energy that soldiers should have. After the terrifying disease was completely eliminated, this incomplete guy who was once hit by fate was full of confidence in life.

He put his hands behind his back and responded loudly:

"Soldier No. 24 is on standby! Sir."

"Um."

Dr. Moira didn't even look at him. In the eyes of this slightly perverted doctor of biology, anything in her lab was a test subject, even the cute assistant Miss Lillian.

"Start a cognitive ability test..."

Moira connected the tablet to the experimental cabin and checked the physical condition of the experiment body No. 24 and the frequency of thinking activity in his brain. She said:

"Show your life, soldier."

"My name is Gabriel Leyes."

The experiment subject No. 24 has to undergo cognitive ability tests and emotional tests every few days, which is to avoid cognitive impairment due to the strengthening of the God of Death Project. After all, the bad ending of the last Black Mist variant is still vivid in my mind. Although Lillian used her own research to fill the shortcomings of the God of Death Project, this is not foolproof.

If this project creates a lunatic agent with black mist incarnation ability, then there is no doubt that the experiment will fail.

Fury and Merlin's perception in this area is very traditional, and they believe that it is better not to have any powers that cannot be controlled.

But to be honest, the No. 24 soldier performed very well. He did not have any confusion in his thinking or will. He was an elite warrior, and his will was as strong as steel.

He loudly and clearly spoke to Dr. Moira's past to prove that he was very sober.

"I served in the Army's 107th Army Corps, participated in the Gulf War and the Afghan War, performed 35 secret missions in the Middle East, with a mission completion rate of 100%. After retirement, I entered the SHIELD Seventh Special Reaction Force, participated in the Vampire War and the Sulphur Port War."

"I found out that I had cancer 2 years ago, but unfortunately I was on a mission in the European branch at that time, and I missed the selection test of the 'dressing' plan. I thought I was dead..."

24 soldiers shrugged:

"But I got the chance to test the 'Death' project again, uh, I've been single, I've had a girlfriend before, but then broke up... This is my previous story, sir."

"Well, I'm glad to see you are still very sober."

Moira nodded, she said:

"On the 24th, how do you feel today? Is the nightmare situation reported last time still happening?"

"No, no more, sir."

The 24th experiment subject answered in a concise and clear manner:

"I am very healthy now, and the pain in my body is also disappearing. Dr. Lillian's neutralizer has taken effect. I can participate in any military operation at any time, sir! In fact, I can't wait to return to the battlefield."

"You have the final say whether you can participate in the action, soldier."
