Guan Heng's Two Trump Cards (Third Update)

No one knew that Guan Heng had secretly infiltrated the base under the cemetery. Even when Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. investigated later, they concluded that it was an internal fire that had detonated the armory.

The leader of Hydra went to visit his old rival, who had been missing for a long time. When he returned disappointed, he found the base destroyed. He concluded that the Phantom Cat clone zombie and the ancient book he had obtained had been annihilated in the sea of fire. He was naturally furious, but unfortunately, none of the branch members, from the small leader Sam and his subordinates, survived. The leader had no one to vent his anger on, so he could only consider himself unlucky. Anyway, the Super Zombie project had already been hindered by the deciphering of the ancient text and was on the verge of being shelved. It was fine to give up now.

As for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigation, they only found some wreckage of Hydra members' uniforms and weapons at the scene. They assumed that the base had been destroyed by an accident and were happy to watch from the sidelines.

Regardless of how the two sides investigated, Guan Heng was busy in the villa's basement at this time, drawing the Corpse Control Array he had just learned on Dabao and Er Ni. Since it was the first time drawing it, Guan Heng, to be safe, drew dozens of arrays on them, but rather over a hundred on each, to ensure foolproof control of these two Super Zombies.

Ordinary zombies relied on their fangs for bloodsucking and the Corpse Poison on their claws. Now, both of these abilities had been crippled by Guan Heng, and once crippled, they could not regenerate. They could no longer bite or scratch people.

Guan Heng only needed to inject them with some blood regularly to maintain their vitality.

Dabao was a clone of the M Nation Captain, possessing the Super Soldier Serum and excellent combat skills. In addition, Guan Heng had found a treasure at the Carnival – a piece of paper with Spider-Man Peter's nosebleed on it. Guan Heng extracted some blood from it and injected it into Dabao to see the reaction. As a result, Dabao's fingers and toes grew countless tiny barbs, allowing him to crawl rapidly on walls and steep surfaces. However, due to the limited amount of blood injected, Dabao could only maintain this spider-crawling skill for about twenty minutes. Even so, his agility soared.

As for Er Ni, her body was flexible, and her agility and combat skills were also good. Most importantly, she possessed the Wall-Penetrating Ability, which would help Guan Heng at unexpected times. Although she could only use it once in a short period, Er Ni would then fall into a twenty-four-hour slumber to recover her strength.

After all, the two Super Zombies were just clones, and their abilities could not compare to the originals. However, they were still of great help to Guan Heng. Most importantly, with the help of the Corpse Control Array, they were completely obedient to Guan Heng and had no rebellious thoughts.

It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon. The sky over New York City was clear, a perfect day.

Standing on the rooftop of a building in the city center, Spider-Man was hanging upside down on the roofridge, chatting with Guan Heng.

"So, Nick Fury personally tried to recruit you yesterday?" Guan Heng took a bottle of drink from a plastic bag and threw it to Spider-Man, then opened one for himself.

"Yeah, Director Fury said my abilities were great and should be used to benefit the public. Peter flipped and landed beside Guan Heng, and I'm just starting to adapt to my superpowers. S.H.I.E.L.D. will provide me with the necessary training so I don't misuse my powers and accidentally injure others. I think this is very important."

"That makes sense," Guan Heng nodded slightly and then smiled, "But be careful not to be too easily fooled by that old fox and do dirty work for him. In short, do what you think is right. Stay away from what you shouldn't get involved in. Always maintain control and never be a pawn for anyone."

Peter nodded, "I'll keep your words in mind." He then chuckled, "So you've joined S.H.I.E.L.D. But it feels strange hearing you criticize Nick Fury like that."

Guan Heng burst into laughter, "You'll know when you spend more time with him. Fury isn't a good boss, and I'm not a good employee. We're like crows landing on a coal pile, both equally black."

"Hey, that's an interesting metaphor," Peter said with a smile.

"Let's not talk about that. When do you plan to see Fury?" Guan Heng said, "Since you've decided, let's act on it."

Peter said, "I've decided. I'll go see him now. I happen to have some free time."

"Alright, let's go together," Guan Heng said. He went downstairs and rode his motorcycle. Spider-Man shot webs and swung through the air. The two arrived at the entrance of S.H.I.E.L.D. almost simultaneously, one after the other.

Screech The motorcycle tires screeched to a halt. Guan Heng jumped off the bike. Peter changed out of his Spider-Man suit in an alley, and they entered the lobby together.

Phil Coulson, dressed in a sharp suit, walked towards them. Guan Heng quickly greeted him, "Hi, Phil. What brings you back to the agency today? I thought you'd be lingering at the lavish reception at the Stark Enterprises Building."

"Guan Heng, is that you, you little brat?" Phil said, as unhurried as ever. "I didn't expect you to unilaterally decide to make me your S.O. supervisor without my consent. Don't you know how busy I am? If you make a mistake, I'll have to clean up your mess. Now I've learned from Hill and Fury that they both say you're a troublesome kid."

"Don't say that. The capable should bear more responsibility," Guan Heng said with a light chuckle. "Who told you to be the famous Phil Coulson, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most renowned all-purpose nanny?"

"I don't want to hear any flattery," Phil shrugged, listening to Guan Heng. "You need to behave yourself during this period and absolutely do not cause trouble. When I'm done with my work, I'll make sure you understand what strictness and discipline are. Just you wait, kid. I have to go." With that, he strode away.

"I can't believe I actually managed to anger S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Good Old Man Phil. That's quite an achievement," Guan Heng said with a grin.

"Guan Heng, isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk to your superior like that?" Peter asked, a little uneasy. "What if they get angry?"

"It's fine. I wish they'd fire me," Guan Heng stuck out his tongue. "But I still have some use to them right now, so they won't be willing to let me go. Right, Fury?" Guan Heng made a face at the monitor in the hall.

Fury, watching on his surveillance computer screen in his office, saw it all clearly. Helpless, he chose to pretend he hadn't seen it. I understand now. The angrier I get, the more smug this kid becomes.

A moment later, in Nick Fury's office, he was shaking Peter's hand warmly.

"Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D., Peter," Fury said with a broad smile. "I'll show you that your choice was definitely the right one."

"Thank you, Director Fury," Peter, being young, was a bit overwhelmed. "I'm just a green kid, rash and ignorant. I hope you'll guide and help me a lot in the future."

Fury seemed pleased. He turned and glanced at Guan Heng, who stood by with his arms crossed, observing coldly. "Look at Peter," Fury said irritably. "How humble and polite he is. Not like you, with that Ruffian Appearance. You two are polar opposites."
