The Last Miracle

Dr. Zola's weapons research has also made good progress. The NB-2 energy rifle is much smaller than the original NB-1, but it is still a bit bulky.

The energy weapon is a high-tech weapon designed by Dr. Zola. It uses energy extracted from the Cosmic Cube as its power source and has immense power.

The latest NB-2 energy rifle has a single bullet with a power roughly equivalent to a rifle grenade, but its kill radius is very small, and the energy explodes directly upon hitting the target, resulting in poor penetration. It has neither the wide kill radius of a rifle grenade's explosive fragments nor the strong penetration of an armor-piercing bullet.

However, its energy is more concentrated, and its single-target destructive power is greater. A powerful energy beam can burn a person to ashes and melt the surface of steel when it hits it.

At the same time, due to the limitations of current technology, its rate of fire is much slower than that of ordinary rifles. The charging interval of a fraction of a second is sufficient for ordinary soldiers, but it is too slow for Chen Mo, which seriously affects the efficiency of killing enemies.

Therefore, in Chen Mo's view, the NB-2 energy rifle is just like a more powerful automatic shotgun. When facing ordinary enemies, there is not much difference between an ordinary bullet and a high-powered shotgun to Chen Mo. It also lacks penetration power when attacking armored vehicles, so it is not very useful to him.

The NS-2 energy pistol also suffers from a low rate of fire and is much less powerful than a rifle, so Chen Mo didn't even consider it a threat.

Dr. Dr. Zola was ordered to continue researching and optimizing energy weapons, Chen Mo hoped that when he returned next time, he would see energy weapons that would have practical value to him in combat.

Chen Mo glanced at the two people standing below, and then, as if remembering something, his brows furrowed slightly. Just as he was about to say something, there was a rhythmic, gentle knocking on the office door.

Hearing the familiar knocking sound, Chen Mo's brows relaxed, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

Then, the office door was slowly pushed open, and Major John and Dr. Zola turned their heads to look. They couldn't imagine who would dare to barge into Chen Mo's office so casually.

Could it be...?

At the entrance, a tall, white-haired old man slowly walked in carrying a coffee pot. His peaceful face showed no sign of the panic they had imagined; on the contrary, he looked very happy, with a kind smile on his face.

Under the watchful eyes of the two men, the old man walked straight to Chen Mo's side and calmly poured him a cup of coffee.

The coffee steamed gently, and a rich, fragrant aroma filled the room.

Chen Mo naturally picked up his coffee and took a small sip.

"Thank you for your hard work, Eddie."

This old man was none other than Eddie Albert, Chen Mo's old butler.

After arriving in London from New York with a few people last time, Chen Mo secretly arranged for HYDRA personnel to bring Albert to Norway Secret Base to take over HYDRA's operations.

Chen Mo was not worried about whether Eddie was up to the task.

The entire HYDRA was completely under Chen Mo's control. Although Major John and Dr. Zola were temporarily in charge, it was only because of his initial orders. With just a word from him, the two would obediently hand over their power.

His words are the will of God, and no one in the entire HYDRA dares to disobey them.

Moreover, HYDRA had long been reorganized and restructured by Chen Mo, with a well-established internal organizational structure and clear division of labor. It did not require much effort to manage, and the instructions issued by superiors would be executed quickly and effectively. With Old Albert's abilities, he was more than capable of managing HYDRA.

"I will be leaving again in a few days. This time it will be longer. HYDRA will be in charge of Eddie from now on. You two will assist him well and wait for my return."

"Yes!"

John and Zola quickly responded.

They had been working under Albert for some time and had always strictly followed Chen Mo's orders without any disobedience. So, they naturally had no objection to Chen Mo's orders at this moment.

As for Chen Mo's statement that he had been gone for a long time, they didn't quite understand, only assuming it would be a few years. Only Old Albert vaguely understood that this "long time" would probably be a very long time.

After waving the two away, Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, holding his cup and enjoying the rich aroma of his coffee.

"Eddie, I will probably be gone for more than seventy years after I leave this time. I'm entrusting HYDRA to you."

Old Albert didn't speak, but just looked at Chen Mo and slowly nodded. Chen Mo smiled with relief, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Albert.

The old butler took it and glanced at it.

"Natasha Romanoff, Soviet Agent, Red Room..."

"Anton Vanko, Soviet Union scientist, energy and machinery..."

This was a list containing information about some important figures or scientists that Chen Mo knew.

"The people on this list are all top talents. It would be best if they could be put to my use. I can try to gradually absorb them into HYDRA, but I must keep them under control. They are not easy to deal with."

Chen Mo solemnly explained.

The old butler neatly folded the paper, carefully put it into his shirt pocket, and nodded to Chen Mo.

"Rest assured."

Seeing this, Chen Mo said no more. He was quite at ease with Albert's steady and reliable work style.

After explaining these matters, Chen Mo waved his hand and took out several clear blue potions from his spatial storage.

When Dr. Zola and Major John saw Albert again, they were both surprised. Old Albert, who was originally in his sixties with gray hair, now looked only in his forties, and his gray hair had turned light gold.

His body was stronger and more upright, and he seemed to be taller than before. Coupled with his deep blue eyes that seemed to see through everything and his angular and indifferent face, he appeared noble, elegant and imposing, exuding the charm of a mature man.

Seeing the incredible changes in Albert, the two couldn't help but think of Chen Mo. To be able to make someone regain their youth and undergo such amazing changes, there couldn't possibly be anyone else in the entire base but Chen Mo.

Their awe of Chen Mo deepened, and they became even more convinced of Chen Mo's "god" status. Even Dr. Zola, who had always feared Chen Mo more than he revered him, completely changed his mind and, from this moment on, truly worshipped Chen Mo as a god.

Not only the two of them, but everyone at the entire HYDRA base was shocked by Albert's tremendous changes.

Everything happened right before their eyes. They witnessed firsthand how the old man with gray hair transformed into a tall, strong, and incredibly powerful middle-aged man on the day Chen Mo returned.

As a result, the faith of everyone in HYDRA in Chen Mo became increasingly firm and fanatical.

God bestowed upon his chosen representative immense power and eternal youth—isn't that a miracle?

But their god disappeared after performing this final miracle.
