But the longer he stayed in the fog, the more his human emotions seemed to be peeled away.

The omnipresent ancient whispers were like countless tiny tentacles, drilling into his pores and stirring inside his brain.

The wet and sticky feeling inside made him nauseous, yet he couldn't avoid it.

"Sir, but... General Randall is still here..."

A Blackwatch behind them hesitated slightly, then couldn't help but step forward to offer a reminder.

"Bang!"

However, before he could finish speaking, the senior officer stopped his frantic self-harming actions, turned around abruptly, his bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent, and shot the soldier in the head.

"Does anyone else have any objections?"

The surroundings were deathly silent. Behind the high-ranking officer, two burly soldiers skillfully dragged the body away, their destination unknown.

"Ah, that feels so much better..."

The senior officer exhaled with pleasure, then swung his rifle toward the tunnel entrance, his words tinged with impatience.

"I'm going to get a coffee, hurry up inside!"

The engineering expert, who was holding the energy analysis instrument, nodded hurriedly.

After watching the obviously neurotic troublemaker leave, the soldier wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed under his breath.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At the same time, the fog in the distance surged violently, and two Blackwatch, covered in blood and with tattered tactical uniforms, ran towards the camp.

They carried a critically wounded comrade who was on the verge of death, while another person followed beside him, responsible for constantly monitoring the wounded's vital signs.

"This is unbelievable! That bastard researcher who escaped actually got the drug and even injected himself with it! Who the hell guarded the door?!"

Just as the Blackwatch at the base entrance focused their attention, they heard the curse coming from the other side and couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for their unfortunate comrades.

The mid-ranking officer who had stepped out of his post went to meet him. As soon as he got close, his colleague who was in charge of transporting the wounded patted him on the shoulder.

"We've run into a bit of trouble, but we've successfully hooked him, and that guy can't escape!"

"Brother, please keep our return to settle the wounded a secret, or at least delay it until our men bring that guy back before reporting back."

The man wearing a breathing mask swore an oath with conviction, but his eyes revealed fear of the consequences of "punishment from his superiors."

Indeed, if the top commander, who was already somewhat insane, found out about this, the pursuit team would be severely injured, if not killed.

Then, seeing that the mid-level officer's expression had only softened slightly, the man hesitated before leaning closer to his ear, lowering his voice, and speaking in a low, thoughtful tone.

"Long live Hydra!"

The mid-level officer's expression turned serious. He turned around and gestured for the four men to pass quickly.

A moment later, in the camp, the three people and the sick man avoided the sight of the guards ahead and entered the tent.

"Hey, Alex, wake up! How did you escape?"

The man behind the breathing mask kicked the patient on the stretcher and asked in a deep voice.

Pale-faced and still somewhat surprised, Alex stood up and nervously looked around.

Ada and Lara, who were accompanying him, had been keeping a close watch on the Tokyo camp, which finally put him at ease, allowing him to truthfully reveal the secret passage.

Is there still an abandoned ventilation duct in the mountain base? Wasn't it completely sealed off by the spatial barrier?

"I have some bad news. I just saw Blackwatch's engineering scouts seemingly moving an Alpha miniature tactical nuclear bomb out of a warehouse."

"The countdown is about thirty minutes..."

Just as Kevin frowned and pondered his route, Ada, who was keeping watch at the back door, turned to cover the gap in the curtain and quietly warned Kevin.

"If the nuclear bomb is detonated and causes the mountain to collapse, even with the spatial barrier of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, all the external entrances and exits may be sealed off. We must act immediately!"

Lara offered a serious suggestion, her expression somewhat earnest.

"Alex, I hope you're right, otherwise, pray you'll die before us!"

Kevin knew there was no time to waste, so he had no choice but to selectively trust the biological genetics expert in front of him who had some antisocial personality tendencies.

"I may not be a good person, but I wouldn't stoop so low as to repay kindness with enmity to those idiots in the base."

Alex recalled those who were willing to stay inside the base to create a disturbance, attract attention, and give him a chance to escape; a hint of icy warmth melted from his indifferent gaze.

"Remember your promise, rescue them! Destroy Blackwatch! Close this damned portal!"

Okay, the cooperation is settled.

Kevin and Alex shook hands symbolically, and then the four of them put on their standard Blackwatch combat uniforms again and moved quickly through the shadows.

Chapter 878, Section 840: Marvel's Troublemaker

Pushing aside the overgrown weeds, the four of them crawled into the abandoned ventilation ducts, where the heavy, stale smell was almost nauseating.

Fortunately, none of the four people traveling with him were being dramatic; they simply curled up and climbed forward silently.

Caught in the middle, Alex couldn't help but admire Kevin's thoughtfulness and vigilance.

After unexpectedly dealing with the alerted Blackwatch pursuit team, this guy did not directly attack the base camp.

Instead, he used the Blackwatch tactical uniform he had taken off to stage a play with the three people present.

Although he initially stated that he was only 50% confident, after saying the secret phrase "Hydra" to the officer, he actually moved through the camp without any hindrance.

Moreover, the man had considered many details before the plan even began.

For example, in order to cover up the bullet holes on the Blackwatch tactical uniform, the area where the clothing was shot was deliberately cut open with claw-like marks, blaming it on "Alex after being injected with drugs and going berserk."

For example, to avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop and to prevent the loss of communication between each other, the Wolf Pack Squad outside will wait for an hour and, if they do not receive any feedback, will launch their own attack on the Blackwatch base.

Kevin didn't even fully trust this researcher who had escaped from the base, always maintaining a degree of vigilance.

However, it's better to have everything out in the open; it's more satisfying than recklessly barging into Blackwatch and then using him as a bargaining chip.

We're here! Do you have a way to get in?

After walking for seven or eight minutes, navigating several winding paths, Kevin, following the directions, looked ahead at a faint, eerie blue light screen.

After tapping on it and confirming that it was difficult to destroy, the man turned to Alex and asked for a solution.

Upon hearing this, the researcher obediently handed over a vial of dark blue liquid. Kevin glanced at it and quickly confirmed that it was similar to the energy extraction fluid that Nick used to connect to the Cosmic Rubik's Cube space.

"Can it be opened by simply pouring it on top?"

Alex shook his head slightly and responded.

"If it were that simple, those Blackwatch outside, who possess some control over the Rubik's Cube's energy extraction fluid, would have already stormed in."

"This is an extract prepared according to a special ratio. Its reaction with the energy of the Rubik's Cube will create different energy fluctuations in different areas..."

"There's only one of these items, and it can only be used in a specific place. Only the person inside can confirm my return through the energy reaction data."

"Next, they will briefly open the passage, which will greatly damage the stability of the Rubik's Cube's Cube's energy matrix. They won't take the risk unless all the conditions are met!"

Kevin confirmed that the behavior of the people inside matched his judgment, so he lowered his guard and poured the extract onto the screen.

As the faint flashes of light flickered, ripples of pale blue spread out, and the originally thin light screen gradually became transparent.

A moment later, at Alex's prompting, Kevin reached out and touched the light screen, passing through it completely with only slight resistance.

"Walk!"

The four formed a tight formation and immediately headed into the base. After another four or five minutes of fussing, Kevin removed the peeling paint from the guardrail at the ventilation opening and was the first to crawl out.

"Move again, and I'll blow your head off!"

However, as he entered the base, a cold, low shout rang out, and a shotgun was pressed against the back of Kevin's head.

"General Randall, I've returned with reinforcements. Please hold your gun steady, be careful not to discharge it accidentally."

Alex and the other two emerged from the tunnel one after another, responding coldly. Even so, he obediently raised his hand, letting the one-armed Old Man scrutinize him.

"It seems Blackwatch hasn't completely betrayed us?"

Kevin glanced at General Randall, who had gray hair and blue eyes, and whose gaze was as sharp as a hawk's despite his disability, and whispered something.

The man then pulled out a temporary badge issued by Nick, used for receiving and handing over Blackwatch credentials, to prove his identity.

"Upon arriving here, I discovered that soldiers loyal to the country have either been reformed, eliminated, or replaced; there's practically no Blackwatch left."

"We've been hollowed out long ago! Those sons of bitches, Hydra! And a bunch of good-for-nothings in the Ministry of Defense!"

After confirming the documents, General Randall returned them to Kevin, his expression somewhat grim.

It must be admitted that Hydra's reputation as a "Marvel troublemaker" and "ghost-making machine" is well-deserved.

In terms of infiltration alone, its power was so great that even S.H.I.E.L.D.., which is responsible for intelligence and security, almost became a den of snakes, not to mention Blackwatch, which focuses more on strength than on investigation.

Especially after the failure of Project Insight, the U. S. military, having repeatedly stepped on landmines, was thoroughly targeted by Hydra.

Meanwhile, the guys at the Department of Defense, in order to enable the Blackwatch to better extract technology patents from S.H.I.E.L.D.., also did the dirty work for them.

Therefore, although the soldiers selected by the Blackwatch unit are quite capable in combat, more than half of them should be court-martialed for their actions.

It's easy to imagine that such a diverse force would be a sieve with holes on all sides for Hydra, which wanted to infiltrate.

"Where are Shirley and Jill? What happened to my men?"

Kevin looked around but didn't see Shirley or Jill. A sense of foreboding filled him. He turned and grabbed General Randall by the collar, asking in a cold voice.

"The two girls are not in good condition. They received an injection, and several viruses in their bodies are reacting chemically, seemingly vying for control of their bodies."

Randall took a deep breath, brushed Kevin's arm aside, grabbed his shotgun, and led the four men into the inner part of the base.

Along the way, the research institute, built with metal and conventional engineering plastics, has a considerable space.

The shattered glass all around, the bullet holes in the walls, and the lingering smell of blood all indicate that a major battle had taken place here.

Therefore, very few people survived within the research institute.

Aside from three wounded Blackwatch who remained loyal to General Randall, there were only four or five researchers, led by Dr. Erik.

At that moment, due to his anxiety, Kevin grabbed the somewhat sluggish General Randall and rushed into the lounge with great speed.

Jill! Shirley!

The moment he entered, Kevin felt a tightness in his chest at the sight of the red and black blood vessels that appeared and disappeared around their pores. However, just as he was about to approach, he discovered that the area around the hospital bed was also protected by a spatial barrier.

"After entering the Fog of War, the second group of Blackwatch took advantage of the two women's unpreparedness and injected them with the DX-1118 virus, intending to infect them and then shoot them."

"This would weaken their unique physique and combat power, while also concealing the truth, allowing Hydra to continue its lurking."

"However, the other parasitic virus in their bodies was far more resilient than those people had imagined, which is why the two women managed to survive their escape all the way to the base and join us."

General Randall glanced at the silent Kevin, his tone somewhat somber.

"I was among the first group targeted for purges by Hydra, and I witnessed firsthand the final fate of those infected!"

"To avoid the situation getting out of control, you'd better act now. At least these two ladies will have a dignified death."

The general, somewhat dejected, drew his sidearm, released the safety, and handed it over, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Bang!"

However, a tremendous force suddenly kicked Randall in the stomach, sending him flying and crashing into the back wall. Kevin's eyes were cold, and his face was icy.

"Roll!"

Instantly, the atmosphere froze. Several wounded soldiers immediately drew their weapons and surrounded Kevin and his men with hostile expressions.

Chapter 841, Section 879: Are you teaching me how to do things?

"You can't even control your own Blackwatch, and you expect to teach me how to do things?"

Kevin ignored the indignant threats from the three wounded soldiers, while Lara and Ada stood guard beside the commander, ready to eliminate the wounded at any moment.

In one scene, Countess Lara couldn't help but speak with a sarcastic tone, revealing a harsh reality.

"At a time like this, you're still thinking about cleaning the inside? There's an Alpha Tactical Nuclear Bomb going to detonate in 20 minutes. This is big trouble, you idiot!"

Just as the atmosphere became tense and the two sides were on the verge of exchanging blows, Dr. Erik, with his graying hair and balding head, helplessly waved his hand to persuade them to separate.
