At this very moment, in the underground cell of the Sokovia Hydra secret base.
In the cramped, cold iron cell, the dozen or so remaining test subjects all had numbness in their eyes, as well as extreme fear and despair.
Over several months of experiments, more than a hundred volunteers died tragically one after another. The clear screams and the stench of blood constantly assaulted their minds, including Wanda and Pietro.
Pietro leaned against the cold wall, his fists clenched tightly, his face pale and haggard, filled with regret.
"If we had known... we definitely wouldn't have come here."
His voice was hoarse, filled with deep regret.
He initially thought he could gain power here to avenge himself against Stark and protect his home, but in the end, he only lost his life in vain.
Wanda huddled to one side, her eyes red-rimmed, feeling both scared and regretful.
The siblings were not afraid of death; they came with the hope of gaining power through a successful experiment, even if only one of them succeeded, but the success rate of this experiment was almost nonexistent.
To die here in vain, without even a chance for revenge, is a worthless death.
"Tap tap tap..."
Five Hydra soldiers rushed to the cell door and quickly opened the iron gate!
"Here we go again..."
"I don't want to die...!"
You will all die a horrible death!!
The moment the cell door opened, some of the dozen or so people cried out in fear, while others cursed loudly!
"Why is this happening? We're already struggling to survive, how can they still lie to us and harm us!"
Wanda clung tightly to her Pietro beside her, her eyes red with fear.
At that moment, two Hydra soldiers entered with guns, and the group huddled in a corner in fear, leaving only the brother and sister standing alone in another corner.
Two Hydra soldiers noticed them instantly and immediately designated them as the targets of this experiment.
They went straight up and roughly pulled the two of them up.
"No, I'll go... I'll go, please let my sister go, please...!"
Pietro pleaded loudly!
"No, I'll go... Let my brother go!"
Wanda pleaded as well.
However, the Hydra soldiers remained unmoved by the two men's pleas and forcibly dragged them out of the cell.
Watching the brother and sister being taken away, everyone felt only endless darkness and despair, with no hope in sight.
Just when everyone was on the verge of collapse--
The alarms on the outer perimeter of the base suddenly blared wildly and piercingly!
Beep beep beep--!!
The piercing alarm blared throughout the base, and the lights flashed wildly.
Baron Strucker, who was waiting for the test subjects in the laboratory, frowned instantly.
He was one of the leaders of Hydra, and controlled all the Hydra in Europe, wielding immense power.
This experiment aims to research artificial Mutants. If successful, it will allow them to mass-produce Mutants, giving Hydra the power to sweep across the world.
Unfortunately, while it's theoretically possible, it's very difficult to succeed.
However, this is just the beginning, and he is confident that mass production will be achieved within the next four or five years!
Unfortunately, his dream is destined to never come true!
"Report... Mr. Strucker... There... there's a powerful enemy invading!"
His subordinate rushed over, his face filled with terror, and reported in a trembling voice.
"What enemy could frighten you so much? S.W.O.R.D. arrived?"
Baron Strucker's expression changed, and he instantly thought of the S.W.O.R.D.!
Now that the Avengers of the S.W.O.R.D. have that woman's presence, they are all very cautious, keeping a low profile and trying their best to hide it.
"No... no... it's the Great Emperor of the Ten Rings Empire, Xu Wenwu!"
His subordinate looked terrified and extremely flustered, and stammered as he spoke.
"What? Xu Wenwu, the Ten Rings?"
A group of scientists in the lab exclaimed in surprise!
"No... impossible! How could he be here?!"
Baron Strucker gasped in shock, his face turning deathly pale.
Xu Wenwu was a terrifying figure who, ten months ago, teamed up with Captain Marvel to completely destroy Manhattan!
He actually came in person!!
At that moment, Baron Strucker was filled with terror and immediately ran out of the laboratory and into the monitoring room.
On the surveillance footage, when he saw the figure in mid-air, he froze instantly, his face drained of color, and extreme fear surged in his heart!
"This... this really is the Ten Rings Empire, Xu Wenwu!"
This is a terrifying being, comparable to a god, whom even the major powers dare not easily provoke. How can they possibly withstand it?
Baron Strucker trembled violently, completely panicked, and driven to madness by extreme fear, he roared hysterically, issuing the following orders:
"All personnel on standby! All anti-aircraft weapons, unleash your fire! Kill him at all costs! Now!!"
He didn't believe Xu Wenwu was here as a tourist. The Ten Rings were also frantically searching the world for Hydra, and if they found one, they would wipe them all out without leaving a single one alive!
Now that Xu Wenwu has come here, even a fool would know that the other side is here to destroy them.
The command was issued instantly.
An energy shield rose from the base castle, and countless high-energy weapons instantly locked onto the base's outer walls, defensive turrets, and underground armed positions.
High-energy lasers, energy beams, and dense bullets rained down on the figure in mid-air, the firepower reaching its peak.
However, despite all the deadly attacks, Wenwu remained unmoved in mid-air, his expression utterly calm.
Wenwu was not wearing armor at this moment, but only black trousers and a black oversized trench coat that went past his knees. The wind blew the hem of his coat, and he stood in mid-air, looking cold and murderous.
He lightly treaded through the air, slowly descending from the sky, his posture upright and steady, like a god walking in the mortal world, ignoring all the roar of cannons.
Black King's powers were instantly unleashed!
He instantly absorbed all the kinetic energy, thermal energy, high-energy beams of light, and explosive impact from the entire sky, accumulating them all within his body. Not a single attack could touch him in the slightest.
The barrage of firepower was completely ineffective; it couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
In the underground corridor, Wanda and Pietro, who were initially in despair, saw Hydra soldiers abandon them and rush towards the base.
I instantly felt like I had survived a disaster.
" Pietro! There's fighting outside! It must be Hydra's enemies! We're saved!"
Hearing the constant roar of artillery fire from the outside world, Wanda wept with joy, and a glimmer of light rekindled in her eyes.
"That should be right! But we can't just sit here and wait to die. Only by escaping in the chaos will we have a real chance to survive!"
Pietro suppressed his excitement and spoke urgently.
"Alright! Let's charge out!"
The two held each other's hands tightly and ran wildly through the passage towards the outside of the base.
Many Hydra soldiers hurried past along the way, but none of them were distracted to stop or pursue them.
Compared to the terrifyingly powerful enemy high in the sky, the two unarmed, ordinary experimental subjects went unnoticed.
The brother and sister ran all the way to the second basement level of the castle, where they could clearly see the breathtaking scene above through a huge floor-to-ceiling window.
At this moment, Wanda and Pietro stared blankly at the tall, solitary figure in mid-air, completely stunned, frozen in place, their hearts filled with utter shock and disbelief.
