Chapter 38 Howard's Faked Death
"Seriously, you really don't know the location of the Hydra base?"

Howard asked softly while looking at Mu En who was exercising in front of him.

"I really don't know where the other Hydra bases are. If I have to say who might be Hydra, it's only that old man Pierce."

Moon answered impatiently. He was really getting annoyed by Howard. Ever since he returned with vibranium, Howard had been asking him questions about the Hydra base.

If Hydra was so easy to find, they would have been eliminated long ago. Not to mention the officers in the Hydra bases, even the leaders of Hydra may not know all the Hydra bases.

Seeing that Mu En still gave the same answer, Howard remained silent.

He also knew that Hydra had survived until now without being discovered, so confidentiality should never be underestimated. As for Pierce, who Moon believed was Hydra, although he had doubts, he could not find direct evidence and could only be wary of Pierce's actions.

"Okay!" Howard sighed and pointed to the pickup truck's cargo box. "Your equipment is ready."

After bringing back the vibranium, Moon gave this magical metal to Howard and asked him to help him make a set of equipment.

Howard readily agreed. Based on the Kree technology he analyzed, he used vibranium to create a combat suit for Moon.

Although it is an imitation of the Kree combat suit, its appearance and functions are very different. Compared with the Kree combat suit, the vibranium combat suit does not have many functions.

The function of the vibranium combat suit is very simple. It can absorb any form of attack energy, store it, and release it as the user moves.

This combat suit consumed about half of the vibranium, and the remaining half was made into vibranium alloy by Howard through a certain proportion.

Although the effect of vibranium was weakened a little, it met Howard's needs. He also made some special equipment for himself and Maria to protect them at all times. This was also the real reason why he left the farm.

He also recast a mechanical arm for Buggy, used vibranium alloy to enhance the power of the mechanical arm, and even added many functions to Buggy's mechanical arm, allowing him to deal with many different situations.

The combat suit made by Howard had a metallic luster all over, and it shone with golden light under the sunlight, but this was not what Moon En wanted. After all, it looked like he was deliberately telling his opponent his position.

Seeing Mu En looking over with a puzzled look, Howard came over and explained:
"This is just the basic form of the battle suit. You can change the appearance of the battle suit as you wish!"

As he spoke, he pressed the edge of the vibranium wristband and gently scratched it, and an energy grid appeared on Mu En's arm.

Now Moon understood how to operate it. This was the technology used on the Kree combat suit, which could change the shape of the combat suit through the grid.

After a few random operations, the combat suit turned into a light gray color, with some dark blue metal decorations spreading all over the body along the gaps in the combat suit.

“Hmm… it feels good!”

Mu En nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with this combat uniform.

"One more thing!" Howard said to Moon and Bucky, "I plan to hold a funeral with Maria!"

???

The two were stunned by this. What did it mean to hold a funeral? Did these two guys not want to live anymore?
Seeing the shocked expressions of the two, Howard smiled and explained:
"Maria and I plan to fade out of Hydra's sight by faking our own deaths, and I've been doing that for the past few years." Ever since Hydra sent Bucky to attack them, he has been thinking about how to change the status quo.

The Hydras were hiding too deeply, and he couldn't find a way to destroy them. Although Mu En destroyed a Hydra base, no one knew how many Hydra bases there were. All he knew was that it couldn't be the only base of Hydra.

So, after being attacked, he began to prepare. If he could not destroy Hydra, he would disappear from the public eye.

And this is the real reason why he has been asking Moon about the Hydra base. Now that the substitute body he has cultivated has matured, it won't be long before he and Maria die one after another.

After understanding Howard's idea, the two of them suddenly realized that it was to avoid Hydra.

"That's a good idea, but there must be a reason for your death, right? You died suddenly and inexplicably, which seems abrupt no matter how you look at it."

"You're right. Remember when you brought back the vibranium, Maria suddenly became seriously ill?" Howard smiled and said, "From then on, we started the show, using the fight when you were attacked as an excuse. We were both frightened, and Maria even became ill because of the fright.

After all, we are both older, and after two attacks, it is normal for our bodies to have some problems due to shock, isn't it? "

That was true. Howard and Maria were both old, especially Howard. He gave birth to Tony when he was in his fifties and was now in his seventies. It was not a big deal that he died of illness due to some shock.

"Okay, so how are you going to do it?"

Although Howard's plan was pretty good, the most critical thing was how to implement it. After all, their deaths had to seem normal to everyone.

“I’m quite old, so I’ll be the first one to fake my death. In a few days I’ll be in a coma due to heart problems. You can send my stand-in to the hospital for emergency treatment. You must act anxious enough!
As for Maria, she will need some time!"

There are certain reasons for Howard's choice. First, he is older, and it is normal for him to have heart problems after two attacks. He will also die of a heart attack, and no one will be able to find any evidence against him. Second, he is Hydra's real target and must disappear from Hydra's sight as soon as possible.

……

A few days later

Howard suddenly had a heart problem. When he was taken to the hospital by Moon, his clothes were soaked with sweat and he fell into a coma.

After emergency treatment at the hospital, Howard was temporarily out of danger and lay unconscious in the intensive care unit.

"This stand-in is good!" Mu En thought to himself as he looked at Howard lying on the hospital bed, "Except for the lack of consciousness, he is almost exactly the same as him in other aspects."

This substitute was cultivated by Howard using biotechnology, and his entire body is in the same condition as Howard himself. If Mu En didn't know that this thing itself was a dead object, he would have thought it was a clone of Howard.

Although this 'Howard' has all the organs, in fact all of them are fake and are just tissues used to deceive medical staff.

And this is indeed the case. Howard successfully deceived the medical staff and made everyone think that the elderly Howard had developed a heart disease due to excessive shock caused by the two attacks.

This incident was spread almost all over the country. Many people couldn't help but feel regretful, and even the hidden Hydra were stunned.
