Winds of Change

"Gene 1 α Locus identified. Reduce the Acetaldehyde Phenylamine dosage by 0.2 grams!"

"Gene 2 Σ Locus identified. The β Gene is damaged. Increase the Sodium Vinyl Phenylalanine dosage by 3 grams..."

"Gene Chain 5 has begun overlapping. The nerves are expanding at nearly thirty times the normal rate... but the expansion is too fast. Reduce the Dopamine component by 1 ml."

Shen Fei watched the data transmitted from the analyzer onto the computer, constantly calculating the quantities of the different components in the serum.

His hands danced ceaselessly over the keyboard. Empowered by his physique, they seemed to turn into afterimages, as though he had grown countless extra hands, continuously analyzing the experimental results and immediately proposing modifications.

Listening to Shen Fei's instructions, Connors kept formulating fresh batches of serum.

Then they administered repeated injections.

The current serum had been formulated based on the one retrieved from the military. Although the ingredients were correct,

Matt had been trying to save someone when the serum splashed into his eyes. It had been exposed to the outside environment, and the temperature might have denatured certain components.

So Shen Fei needed to keep experimenting and gathering data.

Until he reached the most perfect state of Matt's original mutation.

What he did best was make God's dice land exactly where he wanted.

Mutated Super Heroes existed because of God's favor, because they had encountered the tiniest probability of a beneficial mutation.

Shen Fei intended to replicate that probability.

A massive amount of experimental data was continuously fed into the computer, altering the gene sequences of the ten volunteers displayed on-screen and comparing them with the sequence on the other side.

Suddenly, he saw that No. 3's gene sequence had undergone the same structural change as Matt's.

"Repeat No. 3's experiment! Formulate a new serum according to the previous specifications. The injection dosage should match that of Subject 3."

Shen Fei took a deep breath and began running simulated experiments on the computer, calculating the proportions of various ingredients and changes in temperature in his mind.

"Subject 3! The α, γ, and Σ Loci have appeared. The structure has changed!"

An assistant's voice rang out, unable to suppress his wild delight.

"Change the experimental method. Use this serum as the base and continue the experiment!"

Shen Fei said calmly.

Connors stared at Shen Fei in amazement. What terrifying talent. He could resolve problems so quickly and devise solutions in such a short time.

Solutions that were almost perfectly correct, and he could even find the data he needed amid such an enormous volume of information.

It seemed Shen Fei would crack this before long.

"It has finally appeared, Shen Fei. I never expected you to become a major shareholder in Osborn. As expected, you possess wisdom blessed by Heaven."

Baron Strucker looked at the information that had been sent back and muttered to himself.

After Hydra's previous blow in central New York, most of its members had gone deep into hiding to preserve their strength. Unless there was a crucial mission,

they would definitely not mobilize those people.

But now, it seemed they could be mobilized.

"Awaken the Winter Soldier! Go capture Shen Fei! We must get him this time. Mobilize everyone in the surrounding area as well."

Baron Strucker ordered the assistant beside him.

He had to capture Shen Fei. Although his subordinates had resurrected him through genetic engineering, Dr. Zola's research had left almost every leader in the organization with a backup plan.

But something had gone wrong during the resurrection.

S.H.I.E.L.D. had found them, and during the battle, some of the things they had once acquired had entered his body along with his resurrection.

Death Spores.

Baron Strucker still did not understand the origin of these extraordinarily mysterious things, but he could feel himself growing stronger and gaining certain special abilities.

But there was one drawback. He felt that his entire body was beginning to grow less and less human.

That was also why he wanted to capture Shen Fei.

He needed Shen Fei's intellect to help him solve the problem with his body.

The assistant beside him advised, "But such a major operation in New York will definitely attract their attention.

"Chief, the strength of our New York branch is already close to its limit.

"If we are wiped out again this time, we may never be able to operate in New York again."

"And..." The assistant wanted to continue, but Baron Strucker's glare frightened him silent.

"Pass on the order! Why are you talking so much!"

The assistant swallowed what he had wanted to say: *And we might not even be able to bring him back. Last time, even Bucky was nearly beyond saving after the explosion.

He is still barely alive, and some of his organs have been replaced with steel. His strength has been greatly reduced.

After all, an order from Strucker was a death order.

With a single order from Strucker, some people scattered throughout New York who had looked utterly ordinary received text messages at the same time and vanished from where they had been.

Inside a certain basement.

Nick suddenly saw several members he was monitoring begin leaving their posts.

"Natasha, Barton. Hydra is on the move. They have mobilized almost all their members in New York.

"Get the Captain and investigate!"

"Director, I was planning to look for Banner..."

"Banner can wait. Hydra is making such a huge move, so there must be something important going on.

"Find out what their target is and adapt to the situation!"

"But..."

"Natasha, right now, you and Barton are the only ones I can trust!" Nick's tone grew much heavier, leaving Natasha no choice but to say, "Understood."

After hanging up, Nick fell silent for a while. "Damn the Hero Act. Damn the council!"

He could originally have cleaned up this mess, but the other side had begun pressuring him. Nick could only find a way to extricate himself and move from the open into the shadows.

Although they claimed Hydra no longer existed, he knew Hydra was certainly lurking in the dark. It had merely hidden itself more deeply.

He had concealed himself in the shadows so Hydra would not discover the problem.

So he could completely wipe out this remnant of the old regime that had thrown the world into chaos.

"They're headed for Osborn!"

After receiving the signal, Natasha immediately met up with Barton and began tracking the targets. She also sent word to Captain America, though he would need some time to arrive.

Very quickly, they discovered that these people were fully armed. After boarding military vehicles one after another, all of them were headed for Osborn Company.

She hurriedly sent Nick a message.

"Osborn? Isn't Hill monitoring the information over there? I'll ask her!"

At that moment, an email arrived on Barton's phone. When he opened it, it contained Osborn's basic information.

"Shen Fei? A major shareholder of Osborn. Could he have some connection to Hydra?" Barton was puzzled, while Natasha seemed as if something had frozen her in place.

"Shen Fei..." Natasha murmured.
