American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

It's not impossible.

After all, even Nick Fury, the old fox, is a fake. Who can guarantee that their subordinates haven't been replaced by aliens?

This moment.

Director Taylor felt a chill run down his spine, and his fear of the Skrulls' shapeshifting abilities grew even stronger.

Just one possibility has put him in a difficult position.

He dared not gamble on whether his trusted confidants had any problems.

Finally, he slowly put down the internal communication phone.

"It seems I'll have to take action myself."

"I was an elite agent back in the day, and even though I've neglected my skills for a year, I shouldn't have completely forgotten them."

Chapter 219 Tracking Clues

a week later.

Inside a biological laboratory at the Tianjian Bureau's space base.

Tony Stark and Dr. Banner, dressed in white lab coats, were busy at the lab table.

The gene chain on the holographic screen has 27 pairs of chromosomes, and the DNA segments representing deformed genetic factors are located in this mysterious gene chain.

[Experiment 163: L3n Gene Molecular Sampling Test...]

Tony Stark glanced casually at the holographic screen and suddenly exclaimed with ecstasy, "We did it! We've finally cracked the Skrull genetic secrets!"

Dr. Banner, a large man, quickly walked over, adjusted his glasses, and saw the sampling test displayed on the holographic screen.

Mice cloned using sampled DNA factors have been observed to exhibit deformability.

This shows that they did indeed find a segment of the Skrull gene chain that represents mimicry DNA.

However, finding the mimicry DNA does not mean everything is fine.

They also need to develop methods to suppress or distinguish mimicry DNA.

Fortunately, Tony and Banner have already succeeded halfway.

The most difficult step has been solved.

Identifying the mimicry gene was even less of a challenge for the two super geniuses.

So Tony Stark and Dr. Banner stayed in the lab for almost three days and three nights without sleep.

They didn't even have time to rest, continuing to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the research on identifying mimicry genes.

......

half a month later.

Tony and Dr. Banner still hadn't left the biological lab, while Wanda was growing impatient.

During this period, she frequently encountered agents or civilian staff of the Sky Sword Bureau.

From these people, she learned a rather strange piece of news.

Since Director Taylor went to the Arctic Bear Country two weeks ago, there has been no news from him.

Intelligence agencies sent people to the Russian Federation to gather information, but they found nothing.

Wanda recalled a piece of information given by the Skrull who was impersonating Nick Fury: Skrulls had been active in the Chernobyl region.

She simply didn't have the patience to wait for Tony and Banner to develop the technology to distinguish Skrulls.

She then boarded a Quinjet and landed in North America, venturing alone into the Chernobyl region.

Although this area is off-limits to humans, decades later, the radiation levels in the air are still higher than in other areas.

But at least animals and plants can survive here.

Along the way, Wanda saw mostly abandoned towns overgrown with weeds, suburban cottages with vines climbing their walls, and abandoned factories filled with all sorts of small animals.

The road has been neglected for a long time, and the concrete surface has cracked from the sun. Many vintage cars are stuck in traffic.

Wanda flew across the Chernobyl nuclear power plant ruins from the sky, and there wasn't a single person in sight in the entire area.

We arrived above a giant arched reinforced concrete sarcophagus.

Below is the original site of the No. 4 accident reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. In 2016, the authorities built this 36,200-ton sarcophagus.

Designed for a service life of over 100 years, it can effectively prevent the leakage of 200 tons of radioactive material from the No. 4 nuclear reactor.

Considering the effects of nuclear radiation on people, Wanda set up a red magical shield around her to block the invisible radiation.

As soon as she landed on the ground of the abandoned nuclear power plant, she sensed something unseen slowly eroding her magical shield.

Clearly, the radiation in the air here is highly lethal to the average person.

She glanced around and realized that there did indeed seem to be signs of long-term life here.

In the corner of the abandoned wall were several crushed Coca-Cola cans, old clothes, clothes hangers, and even a motorcycle.

These things look quite new, at least not like they were left behind when the official sarcophagus was built 8 years ago.

"The Skrulls must be unafraid of nuclear radiation to be able to survive here for so long," Wanda thought to herself.

I took a tour of the nuclear power plant and even forcibly broke through the alloy explosion-proof door inside the sarcophagus to take a look.

Aside from recent traces of Skrull life, she found no one.

Disappointed, Wanda was preparing to leave.

But then she suddenly stared at the south wall of the nuclear power plant, as she thought she had just heard a faint noise coming from that direction.

"Who's over there?"

Wanda's hands glowed red, and she quickly flew towards the south wall.

She found no living people or animals, but instead spotted a miniature surveillance camera on the barbed wire fence.

Is someone spying on this place?

Could it be an official source?

Wanda quickly shook her head. It wasn't impossible, but the technology of this camera was too advanced for this country to possess.

A tiny camera the size of a fingernail doesn't seem like the technology of this underdeveloped country at all.

If we eliminate all the impossibilities, then there's only one reason left.

The Skrulls are watching this place.

Thinking of this, Wanda's expression calmed down. She raised her hand, and the miniature camera automatically detached and flew into her hand.

She took the item back to the S.W.O.R.D. space base, intending to show it to Tony Stark.

Perhaps we can find clues about the Skrulls from this miniature camera.

......

7 p.m.

Wanda left the S.W.O.R. space base with excitement, having obtained some clues from Tony.

The miniature camera is made of a kind of shape-memory metal, and this material, which only exists in theory, has actually appeared in reality.

Clearly, the Skrulls' technological level should not be underestimated.

Normally, no one could crack this memory metal material that is beyond human imagination.

However, the super genius Tony Stark is the biggest plot hole in the Marvel Universe.

In a single day, he deduced that the main synthetic materials of this shape memory metal include titanium, nickel, platinum, and some trace metal elements.

After reverse-engineering the formula for shape memory metal, Wanda was able to track down the buyers of the main synthetic materials, thereby analyzing and finding the Skrulls' hiding place.

Back in New York, Wanda didn't intend to fight alone this time.

Shuri, Steve, Bucky, and Clint from Wakanda are all her allies.

With everyone working together, they quickly found a suspicious buyer who had been purchasing these three rare metals for a long time.

Wanda, along with Captain America and Bucky, rushed to Detroit, the former Motor City, as soon as possible.

Since Detroit declared bankruptcy, the once bustling Motor City has become a sparsely populated tourist destination.

Because the area once had a thriving automobile manufacturing industry, many abandoned factories remain.

Wanda and her team's destination happened to be a paint manufacturing company located in the suburbs.

In recent years, this company has purchased small batches of titanium, nickel, and platinum in multiple transactions.

A paint company has no need for these rare metals.

If it were a corporate-level laboratory wanting to research new types of paint and thus need to purchase rare metals, it wouldn't buy this much.

Therefore, this company called Vallance appears highly suspicious.

Chapter 220 A Strong Attack on the Skrull Settlement

Wanda and her accomplices arrived at the factory gate of the company in a Chevrolet special agent vehicle.

The security guard at the gate was just an ordinary, unremarkable old man.

Pakistani even wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

Wanda could vaguely sense that there were dozens of fairly capable individuals in the factory.

"This is it! I'll go first!"

After her super-evolution, Scarlet Witch ignored the old security guard after getting out of the car and floated into the factory area.

After Steve and Bucky got out of the car, they watched the old security guard warily. When they found that he didn't seem to care, they easily climbed over the automatic gate.

"Intruders? Notify Talos immediately!"

"Who are you? Ahhh~"

Steve and Bucky didn't dawdle.
