Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

There's no doubt that the source of the information is Coulson. Perhaps it was Lin Nan's repeated hints that had an effect, leading Coulson to tell him this top-secret information.

Captain America's awakening signifies that, under Hydra's influence, the Tesseract will restart its research program, followed by Loki's appearance and the Battle of New York.

I wonder if Nick Fury, that one-eyed guy, noticed his hint and added more code to protect the Tesseract.

Moreover, doesn't this big black head have any information about those lurking Hydras?

Lin Nan didn't believe it. Ma Ren'er had been with S.H.I.E.L.D. for so many years, he might know about Hydra's infiltration, but he didn't know what they were planning.

Various thoughts swirled in Lin Nan's mind, instantly invigorating his somewhat weary spirit.

The Battle of New York might be coming soon, probably in less than a year, or maybe even much sooner because of my existence as a butterfly.

The formation of the code needs to be accelerated. The existing members, Peter and Matt, are far from sufficient in terms of combat power. The Battle of New York is no small matter.

Of course, there are also advantages to Captain America being discovered.

Captain America is the perfect Avengers leader in Nick Fury's mind. His discovery means that most of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources will be focused on building the Avengers.

For street heroes, surveillance is much more relaxing.

This disrupted his plans. The establishment of the cipher could no longer proceed step by step; he needed to be more aggressive and establish it quickly.

If the Battle of New York breaks out, how much of a chance does he have of winning with the men under his command?

Peter Parker, the little spider, is highly mobile but lacks ranged attacks and defensive capabilities against high-intensity energy attacks.

Daredevil possesses top-notch intelligence capabilities, radar senses, and superb fighting skills, but his effectiveness is quite limited when facing a large-scale regular army.

Such a configuration, in a war of the scale of the Battle of New York, where there are tens of thousands of infantrymen, giant biological weapons, and energy cannons that bombard the ground, cannot affect the key battle situation.

Hulk? First, we don't know where he's hiding now, and second, he's too unstable and prone to going berserk, so he's not suitable.

Thor? He's far away in Asgard, impossible to contact.

Besides, these are people the Avengers want, and contacting them now would cause too much of a stir.

Are there any powerful players who haven't yet come into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sights?

Doctor Strange? He might still be scalpel-wielding people these days, and besides, the Sanctum Sanctorum might not even agree to participate in real-world combat.

After thinking it over, I finally came up with two people who are definitely going to be big shots in the future, if they don't die.

Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, possesses chaos magic, allowing her to warp reality and alter combat abilities. Initially, her powers manifested as telekinesis and mental interference; later, she could easily defeat Thanos without the Infinity Stones.

There should still be some time left. If we rescue them and train them, they should be able to play a significant role on large-scale battlefields.

Quicksilver, Wanda's twin, possesses super speed and is extremely valuable in rescue and evacuation operations, lightning strikes, and other areas.

The twin siblings are now believed to be trapped in a secret Hydra base in Eastern Europe, forced to participate in experiments.

It's just unknown whether their abilities were activated without the Mind Scepter.

If I remember correctly, in both the cinematic universe and the comics, the twins' abilities are innate, especially Scarlet Witch's, which she was born with, while Loki's scepter simply fully activates them.

This universe is too chaotic; I don't know which path I'm on.

But even those who are not yet capable, or whose capabilities are weak, have enormous potential. Rescuing them would not only increase our chances in the Battle of New York, but also generate causal value.

However, Hydra is very well hidden, and the place where Wanda and Pietro are imprisoned must be heavily guarded.

Furthermore, the current state of Wanda and Pietro's abilities is unknown. If they have already awakened, given Wanda's current temperament, she could easily lose control. If they haven't awakened, they need to be rescued and a way to awaken them.

Go! Rescue the twins.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan took out a map of Eastern Europe and recalled the information about the twins.

Pointing a finger at a spot, Sokovia.

I don't know if this universe is still imprisoned here; we'll find out if we go and see.

This name is inconspicuous on the entire map, sandwiched between several major powers, subjected to constant friction, and deeply affected by the lingering poison of history, making it a place of turmoil and instability.

This is it. Lin Nan went out and found a street stall, bought some clothes, and then found a military supplies store, bought some compressed biscuits, and stuffed them all into his backpack.

After returning to the apartment, I sent a message to Peter and Matt, saying that I would be going out for a while and to contact them if needed.

After thinking about it for a while, he sent Tony a message: "Going to Eastern Europe, contact me if needed."

After a while, Tony replied with a message: "Found something interesting, tell me when you get back."

Lin Nan watched for a while, wondering what this subtle sense of trust was all about.

Did Tony really consider him Howard's friend? No way...

After tidying up his things and using the Dream Harmony Capsule to sense the surroundings, he jumped out of the window after finding no surveillance.

A subdued, deep electronic voice rang out, armor covered his entire body, plasma propulsion wings unfolded, and his figure shot through the night sky like an arrow, flying towards Sokovia.

Agent Zero's first mission: "Rescue the twins!"

Officially begin!

【Your next mission: Save the twins! 】

Good luck, Zero!

Chapter 66 Sokovia

Wings covered his entire body as he sped away. Once inside the clouds, his speed increased continuously, and he coated his entire armor with harmonized energy, forming a protective shell that blocked detection.

The harmonized shielding energy covering its own armor is virtually flawless, but it reveals its weakness when used on others, which is a pity.

It might be better if the compatibility and synchronization rate are higher.

After entering Kosovo's airspace, Lin Nan hovered in the air, looking down below.

This country is no longer glamorous; it is left behind only a dilapidated landscape with a somber hue.

The sky seemed perpetually gray, filled with smoke and coal dust.

People walked the streets with blank expressions, and most of them were extremely thin.

Lin Nan watched from the air for a long time before landing on the ground. He put away his armor, changed into an inconspicuous set of hiker's clothes, and carried a backpack, looking like a traveler.

I walked through the border checkpoint and blended into Novigler, a city in southern Sokvia.

Novigne is like a microcosm of the country, with wide streets that are scarred and worn. Buses run on the streets, old and rough, bearing the marks of time.

Lin Nan lowered the brim of his hat, maximizing his reconnaissance abilities, which spread outwards like a spider web, capturing any unnatural presence.

I vaguely remember that the twins were located around here, but I had no idea where they were exactly.

He first found a motel, which was very dilapidated with peeling paint on the walls. He didn't even need to check his ID. The owner was a very fat middle-aged woman who spoke a bunch of incomprehensible gibberish, but thankfully, she recognized Dao Le.

I followed the mountain-like aunt through the dark stairwell and into the room.

Upon opening the door, a strong smell of feet hit me. I touched the bed sheet; it was almost calcified, sticky, wet, and stiff.

Lin Nan gestured for the aunt to leave, then closed the door, sat on the bed, and the Dream Concentrate appeared in her hand.

He had never attempted such a large-scale reconnaissance before; it required immense resources.

Lin Nan first sat on the bed and meditated for half an hour. After feeling that her mental state had reached its peak, she used her mind to stimulate and harmonize the dream capsule.

The energy of the dream capsule spread outwards from Lin Nan like a spider web, penetrating the walls and slowly extending.

We don't need highly precise reconnaissance, we just need to capture a similar energy fluctuation.

This process is like stretching and unfolding a ball of cotton, turning it into a net, until it covers the entire silent sea surface in an attempt to find floating islands on the sea.

As time passed, Lin Nan's face gradually turned pale.

Just when he felt mentally exhausted and wanted to rest before continuing.

Suddenly, a very faint but massive energy fluctuation pierced Lin Nan's mind.

The feeling is like stepping barefoot on shards of glass; although it's barely visible, you can still feel the pain.

The emotions conveyed by this energy—pain, despair, and a yearning for freedom—bloomed like a blood-red flower in the blurry images in my mind, vivid and dazzling.

Lin Nan suddenly opened his eyes; the direction was eighty kilometers to the northwest.

It's uncertain whether it's Wanda or not, but we can go and see. Lin Nan didn't expect to get the ideal answer right away.

He rubbed his aching temples, feeling quite drained. He took out two compressed biscuits from his bag, ate them, and drank a lot of water. After feeling noticeably full, he began to meditate to recover his energy.

After an unknown amount of time, darkness fell, and rain began to fall in Novig. The streets were wet, and the streetlights cast a dim, yellowish glow through the rain and mist, creating circles of warm yellow light.

After showing the plump aunt a picture of Franklin, Lin Nan went out with a small umbrella and soon returned with a map of the surrounding area.

Back in her room, Lin Nan spread the map out on the floor and drew a circle on it with a pencil, following the direction she sensed.

The former Red October Precision Instrument Manufacturing Plant is now uninhabited. Lin Nan is now almost certain that even if they are not twins, they could be other human experiments.

It seems I need to go and check it out myself, to confirm the entrance, the defenses, and of course, most importantly, to make sure the twins aren't there.

Lin Nan opened her schoolbag, carefully checked the contents, and after confirming that everything was in order, she jumped out of the window like a wild cat at midnight and disappeared into the deep night.

The country was shrouded in darkness at night, with only a few industrial areas in the distance still lit up, burning holes in the night sky.

Lin Nan did not use the Dream Capsule's abilities, but relied on his increasingly enhanced physical strength and stealth skills to move through various shadows.

More than an hour later, he approached the area.

It has been abandoned for a long time, but the perimeter is surrounded by barbed wire with several "No Entry" signs posted on it.

The barbed wire is somewhat damaged and appears to be randomly placed, but its placement and size are very carefully considered.

Near the gap, there are still some tire tracks and footprints that have not been completely erased.

Lin Nan stirred the energy of the Dream Capsule and sure enough, he found several cameras on the branches of a tree high up. Among the dense weeds, there were also some extremely fine tripwires that were almost invisible to the naked eye.

These defenses may seem simple, but they are actually very professional and should absolutely not be found in abandoned factory areas.

The possibility of human experimentation within it has greatly increased.

Lin Nan observed and memorized with great patience, memorizing all the monitoring points and traps in his mind, just like a very patient hunter analyzing all the weaknesses of his prey.

With his current abilities, it seems not difficult for him to escape unscathed from the Hydra army.

But if we want to protect two people and get them out, we need to plan carefully.
