The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapters 482, 880, and 881: Lyon: Captain, I really want to improve!
"Before we officially begin the mission, I'll repeat the mission details one last time..."

"Primary operational objective: Rapidly capture and completely eliminate all infected and resistance personnel within all strategic facilities in Wakanda, including but not limited to advanced research buildings, core equipment and supply centers, and, most importantly—the Vibranium resource storage facility!!"

"Each team must report immediately after completing the 'purification' work within the designated target facility!"

"The command center will then evaluate your actions in real time based on the following dimensions: tactical coordination, battlefield division of labor, number of surprise attacks and their handling efficiency, the extent of combat personnel injuries, and—most importantly—mission completion time!!"

"afterwards……"

The captain of the Plague-Free Squad smiled slightly, his voice suddenly rising, filled with strong encouragement and warning, "The top three squads in the overall ranking will receive Legion commendations and extra leave, while the number one ranked Glory Squad..."

He paused deliberately, then continued amidst the expectant gazes of the new recruits: "You will have the opportunity to meet the Boss in person!!"

(＾＾●)

A burning fighting spirit ignited in the eyes of all the new recruits. Before Karl unified Sokovia, they were almost all refugees who were starving, cold, and constantly on the move, suffering from the ravages of war.

Among them, the vast majority of parents died in accidents during the protracted war between the government forces and the rebels.

Those who survived by sheer luck still couldn't escape the tragic fate of being tricked by Hydra into becoming experimental subjects...

Finally, if it weren't for Karl's sudden appearance and his saving of Sokovia, they would probably have followed in their parents' footsteps and become victims of the war.

Therefore, for them, Karl had given them a second life, and being received by Karl in person was the highest honor.

However, despite their immense anticipation, the new recruits stood as straight as pine trees.

The captain of the plague-free team nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject, saying, "As for the bottom three teams... heh heh! They naturally need to be punished, including but not limited to daily hellish extra training, cancellation of all holidays this year, and..."

He practically spat out the last sentence through gritted teeth, his words clearly laced with a wicked sense of humor: "Hand wash all the combat socks and underwear of the entire top seven squads until the next mission begins!!"

Damn it?

Instructor, isn't this punishment a bit too harsh?
This completely ignited the fighting spirit of all the new recruits.

Whether we even get to meet the Boss is another matter, but if I end up at the bottom of the rankings and have to wash someone else's pants, I absolutely can't stand it. So... brothers, charge forward like crazy!!!
"Now!"

The captain of the Plague-Free Team, wielding his arm like a blade and pointing his palm like a sword at the surging horde of zombies ahead, demanded, "Any questions? No?! Very well, then... let's begin!!"

With the order given, ten killing squads composed of 'trainee' [COVID-free] recruits were instantly activated.

The soldiers worked together seamlessly, advancing rapidly toward their respective designated targets.

Da da da--

bang bang bang-

Blood splattered.

Corpses littered the fields.

The roar of the [Bomb Gun] and the howl of the [Chainsaw Sword] instantly tore apart the deathly silent sky of [Wakanda].

Along the way, the ten squads of "Plague-Free" recruits swept away all enemies who dared to block their path with unstoppable force and overwhelming power.

The thick, black blood plasma splattered wildly like cheap paint.

Limbs and broken bones, like harvested wheat, covered the earth in the path traversed by these ten steel torrents.

The air gradually filled with an overwhelming mixture of blood, gunpowder, and putrid odors.

Lyon considered himself a seasoned veteran who had carried out many dangerous missions in the BSAA over the years.

But at this moment, he could only follow closely behind the captain of the Plague-Free Group, looking like a greenhorn with a complicated expression.

He witnessed firsthand how squads of ten new recruits, each a "Plague-Free" soldier, pierced through a medium-sized horde of over five hundred zombies in the blink of an eye, like a red-hot blade piercing butter... their movements precise, their coordination seamless, their near-brutal firepower perfectly combined with ruthless close combat, all in just a dozen seconds!

Shocked!

The unparalleled shock, like a 'Daiyun' with its brakes failing, crashed into Lyon's heart.

No way, you call this a recruit?!

An indescribable shock and sense of powerlessness made this seasoned veteran feel slightly suffocated.

Lyon originally thought he was just a greenhorn compared to the veterans who were free of the plague.

But now it seems that compared to this group of real "greenhorns" who are stepping onto the battlefield for the first time, he is like a toddler learning to walk!
Looking at the ten robust figures ahead, advancing steadily and efficiently through the horde of zombies, Leon seemed to have made a momentous decision. He took a deep breath and solemnly addressed the Plague-Free Captain beside him:
"Captain! I want to improve... no, I mean... I want to apply to join the [Plague-Free Band]!!"

……

【Subspace Group】.

"Boss, according to the latest battle report just sent back from the front lines in Wakanda by the [Infectless Legion], the first phase of the operation has been completed. All infected individuals inside the designated buildings and facilities have been completely eliminated, and our research team and logistics personnel have successfully moved into their respective target locations..."

Mai Zhuo adjusted her elegant glasses and reported in a clear voice, "The backup of all subsequent technical data, as well as the transfer of Vibranium resources and Vibranium-equipped equipment, are about to begin in full swing."

After reporting all the news from the front lines to Karl on the Golden Throne, the blonde secretary obediently stepped aside and stood respectfully with her hands at her sides.

Karl's long, slender fingers tapped lightly on the pure gold armrest of the Golden Throne, producing a crisp, soft sound. He nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Notify Dr. Stern to adjust the priority of the technology decryption sequence: the primary targets are 'nano-vibranium armor technology' and 'city dome energy shield technology'... As for the other technologies, we can explore them step by step."

“Yes, Boss,” Mai Zhuo replied immediately, her fingertips quickly taking notes on the tablet.

At this moment, Zemo suddenly asked, "Boss, after the [Plague-Free Chapter] has completely cleared out all the infected, should we also teleport [Wakanda] back?" "Let's not."

Karl shook his head dismissively and said, "Besides its advanced technology and vibranium, Wakanda's geographical location is also very suitable for use as an overseas strategic foothold."

"Moreover, we don't have a very ideal location to put it in right now."

Although Karl did consider relocating Wakanda entirely before taking action, the problem was that Wakanda's land area was larger than Sokovia's.

Currently, there is simply no suitable place to put it except in [subspace].

He has no immediate plans to put Wakanda into the Warp.

Therefore, the best option right now is to clear out all the infected and then station troops in Wakanda, treating it as an overseas military base.

As for the safety of underground vibranium deposits, there is no need to worry too much.

Karl only needs to use the power of the Reality Stone and the Space Stone to place one or more stable spatial portals in Wakanda connecting Sokovia and Sky One, and he will no longer have to worry about being caught off guard by a sneak attack.

"Let's station troops there first and turn it into an impregnable overseas military base."

……

[Asia Space Group], 18th basement level, inside a laboratory in Zone B.

"minister!!"

A young researcher in a white lab coat, with dark circles under his eyes, pointed nervously at several figures outside the lab and reported to Samuel Stern, who was engrossed in his work at the lab bench:

"[The COVID-free individuals] have delivered the 'sample' you specifically requested."

"Oh? So fast?!"

Samuel Stern's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately stopped what he was doing, got up, and went outside the laboratory.

In the corridor, cold, pale light shone down from above, and two robust, towering warriors of the Plague-Free class stood there silently like sculptures.

One of them held a figure tightly in their grasp, struggling and emitting low, beast-like growls—a young female Silent Zombie.

The other person's clothes were tattered and covered with dried blood and dust. The most shocking thing was his right arm, which was gnawed and mutilated from the elbow down, with the white bone exposed. From time to time, some viscous dark liquid would drip from the wound.

However, apart from that, there were no other obvious open wounds on its body.

“Dr. Stern…”

Upon seeing Stern, the two uninfected warriors immediately straightened up and gave a standard military salute in perfect unison, the heavy arm armor clashing together with a dull metallic clang.

Then one of them pointed to the Silent zombie girl who was firmly controlled and introduced her with a respectful expression:
"Target's identity has been confirmed: Shuri, a direct descendant of T'Chaka, the former King of Wakanda, and Prince T'Chaka's younger sister!!"

"Before being infected, he served as the Kingdom's Chief Technology Research and Development Officer, leading the development of most of the cutting-edge technology systems, including the Vibranium Nanotechnology Black Panther Combat Suit worn by Prince T'Chaka, as well as core equipment such as holographic projections and medical devices within the [Kimoyu Beads]..."

"Thank you."

Samuel Stern's eyes lit up at the words, and his lips curled into an uncontrollable, sinister smile, reminiscent of a movie villain. He then eagerly examined the Silent zombie girl before him, clicking his tongue in amazement:
"Incredible... If the Boss hadn't mentioned it himself, I would never have believed that such a highly intelligent core individual could be born from a race that evolves so slowly... It's simply an excellent processor!"

At this moment, the male researcher who had been following Stern without daring to breathe cautiously took a step closer. Looking at the Silent Zombie Girl's body, which, apart from her missing right arm, showed no obvious injuries or inhuman deformities, he cautiously asked:

“Um, Minister Stern… since her physical structure hasn’t undergone irreversible deep mutations due to the virus, shouldn’t we give her a ‘universal vaccine’ to restore her to human form?”

"Wouldn't this make it easier to access the technical data in her brain?!"

Samuel Stern frowned slightly, turned to look at the other person, and asked in a somewhat displeased tone, "Why turn her back into a human?"

"what?!"

The male researcher seemed taken aback by his department head's sudden question, scratching his head instinctively and saying with some confusion:

"Didn't you emphasize this before? To utilize the advanced technological blueprints stored in her brain that we haven't fully grasped yet, especially the core knowledge of vibranium applications, to help the group achieve scientific breakthroughs in key areas in a short period of time?!"

He swallowed hard, his voice lowering, "But...but if we don't turn her back into a human and restore her consciousness...how...how can we get her to willingly speak or cooperate with us to acquire that knowledge?"

"Ha ha……"

Unexpectedly, Samuel Stern let out a chilling laugh, looking at his bewildered subordinate with the fanatical glint unique to a mad scientist in his eyes, "Who said we have to turn her back into a human to access the knowledge in her brain?"

"Ah this..."

The male researcher was completely stunned. Looking at the familiar excited look in his minister's eyes, the look that only appeared when conducting forbidden experiments, a chill instantly ran down his spine and straight to the top of his head.

Before he could even react, Samuel Stern beside him had already given the order in an impatient and excited tone:
"Immediately notify Dr. Rebecca and tell her to prepare..."

He paused mid-sentence, then seemed to remember something, and waved his hand irritably. "Forget it! Let's not bother her. She's probably on the vaccine production line right now, overseeing the production of the 'universal vaccine'... that's the most important thing!"

After a moment's thought, his gaze refocused on the Silent Zombie girl opposite him, who was screaming and struggling but unable to move forward an inch in the hands of the Plague-Free Warrior. He then gave the order in a resolute tone:

"You, immediately prepare a top-standard sterile dissection room for me!"

"Prepare the neural tract extraction toolkit, the precision brainwave scanner, and the B-7 type 'wet' life support culture tank..."

"I want to personally take the lead in extracting this precious brain... perfectly and completely, and then use it as the most efficient... 'wet component' processor!!"
