Kamen Rider ZZZ from the American comic book world

Ada looked at Leon, whose clothes were soaked with sweat, and raised an eyebrow. "Looks like I'm late?"

After saying this, Ada's gaze fell on the box that had not yet been opened.

“Actually, you came at just the right time.” Li Ai opened another box and presented Ada with a set of witch armor that was mainly black but had gold trim.

“Interesting.” Ada examined the armor, smiling as she asked, “What is its function?”

"This suit of armor is designed for lightweight agility and has a fast movement function similar to your grappling hook gun. There are locks on the heels that can lock the gun in place. With a little practice, you can unleash the full power of Scarborough Fair."

After saying this, Li Ai crossed her arms, looking like she was waiting for praise.

"You've really worked hard." Ada chuckled, then changed the subject, "But your attendance rate this semester is probably..."

Li Ai's expression changed slightly, and she quickly took out the last vial of serum, forcefully interrupting him:

"Let's not talk about those things anymore, let's inject the enhancement serum first."

"And it can also activate superpowers," Leon added at the opportune moment. "Just close your eyes and take a deep breath, and you'll be fine."

"Judging from his appearance, I know the process must have been difficult. I'm going back to my room to get the injection." Ada glanced at Leon, who looked like he had just been pulled out of the water, and then took the serum back to her room.

About half an hour later, Ida, who had changed into sportswear, returned to the basement. "I feel good, just a little hungry."

"So what is your superpower?" Leon and Li Ai asked at the same time.

“A superpower that allows me to perceive things around me as slowing down for a short period of time, while my speed remains constant,” Ada explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Ai's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "So it's a superpower similar to bullet time!"

Enhanced physical abilities and bullet time—these are the superpowers that Leon and Ada possess.

In fact, Li Ai believes that his superpower is 'flight'. This perception is somewhat wrong. It's just that 'flight' is the most obvious to him. In fact, it also enhances his ability to survive in harsh environments. Even if he wants to go to space, it's just a matter of wearing a breathing mask. He doesn't need to worry about other issues at all.

"Alright, can we set off now?" Leon patted Li Ai on the shoulder.

"can."

“I’ll go get the car sorted out.” Lyon turned and headed downstairs.

Ada glanced at Li Ai and suddenly asked, "Aren't you two thinking about what to eat to recover your strength after cycling?"

"I'll eat whatever's available by the roadside. I'm not picky," Li Ai said casually.

However, Li Ai wouldn't relax for long. After returning from his bike ride, he would infiltrate the dreams of the Skrulls whose identities had been confirmed to gather more intelligence.

..............................

Meanwhile, in America, in a base hidden underground in the desert.

A dozen Skrull technicians were gathered around a huge machine, nervously making final adjustments.

This machine is tens of meters tall, with countless complex circuits connected inside, and its core emits an eerie green light.

Queen Velanko of the Skrulls, dressed in a royal robe, came to inspect the progress of the machine. In her own base, she no longer maintained her disguise and reverted to her original green-skinned, pointy-eared appearance.

"How much longer until the machine is finished?" Queen Vilanco asked without turning her head.

“At the current pace, it will take another ten Earth days,” a Skrull scientist behind her replied respectfully.

"Too slow," Queen Vilanco said coldly. "Speed ​​up the process. I want to see the finished product within seven Earth days."

"But Your Majesty, resource supplies have already reached their limit. If we accelerate the process any further..."

"I said, speed things up." Queen Vilanco turned around, her eyes sharp as blades. "There are more superhumans than we expected. We can't wait any longer."

“The Queen’s orders must be obeyed absolutely, don’t you understand?” Gravik’s voice came from behind.

Although Gravik does not show any negative emotions towards his fellow countrymen, all Skrulls in Queen Vilanco's camp have great respect for this strongest warrior.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The scientist bowed his head respectfully and said, "But Your Majesty will need to put in more effort to ensure the progress of the machines at the other two bases."

"I will make them do it."

Queen Vilanco looked back at the machine, opened her arms, and said confidently:

"Earth, the planet that was prophesied to belong to us, is about to become the new home of the Skrull civilization."

Chapter 103 The Captain's Deployment

five days later

In the center of the underground laboratory of the forest villa, a map of America is suspended in mid-air as a holographic projection, with three locations clearly marked by red dots.

Li Ai, Tony, Banner, Pym, and Steve, who had retrieved the vibranium shield, stood around the holographic projection, discussing their next move.

"Just like the green-skinned lizard monster we captured at the beginning said, they do indeed have three bases in America." Tony pointed, and detailed coordinate information immediately popped up next to the three red dots.

After a period of deciphering, Tony and his two companions have located the Skrull base.

"Then how do we get in?" Steve asked. "Hydra and Mustache both developed a set of military codes back then, and aliens can't possibly be without them."

“You’ve hit the nail on the head, Captain.” Dr. Pym smiled slightly, then took out a black terminal. “This is a decryption device we built based on Skrull technology. It can open the gates of their base and also has a signal jamming function.”

"Simply put, it's a quick lock-picking tool," Dr. Banner explained.

"Do you have a map?" Steve asked the three, expressing his concern, "Without direction, the hostage rescue mission will become very difficult."

"Wait a moment." After making a few operations on the holographic interface and roughly constructing the internal structure diagrams of the three Skrull bases, Li Ai explained:

"During this time, I also infiltrated the dreams of those Skrulls whose identities had been confirmed, thereby obtaining some inside information..."

"To be honest, your ability to gather intelligence is terrifying," Tony remarked. "There's probably only artificial intelligence that you can't uncover secrets about without unplugging it."

Seeing that Li Ai seemed to have more to say, Dr. Pym sternly interrupted, "Let him continue, Stark."

"First, I must remind everyone that not all Skrull dreams are locked. My information may be somewhat limited, so please be sure to ask if you have any questions." Li Ai gave a stern statement first, then continued operating the holographic interface:

“We all know that Skrull cells have a very obvious assimilation ability to human cells, and their recent series of actions against Osborn suggest that they may be trying to obtain the formula for cross-species serum.”

"Interspecies serum?" Steve's eyelids twitched. He sensed something was wrong and asked, "They wouldn't be trying to replicate the serum Dr. Erskine used on me, would they?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ai sighed, her feelings complicated, and said:

"Interspecies serum is a drug whose core purpose is to transplant the self-healing genes of other organisms into humans, allowing patients who have lost limbs to return to a normal life. If the patient's condition is not suitable for injection, the interspecies serum can also be changed to be used as a mist inhalation."

“That sounds pretty good.” Steve thought of the disabled soldiers he had seen during the war and wished he had had this medicine back then.

"But early cross-species serum actually had significant problems," Li Ai said, changing the subject in a deep voice.

"In early experimental versions, there were calculations showing that the injectors were affected by foreign lizard genes and eventually became half-human and half-lizard, while Skrulls and Earth reptiles have a certain degree of genetic similarity."

In other words, with a few modifications, those green-skinned reptilians could use their cross-species serum to transform humans into their own kind. Add to that a device to distribute the atomized serum globally, and Earth would become their new home planet.

As soon as he finished speaking, the laboratory became eerily quiet, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

"In other words, the Skrulls can turn humans into their own kind without using force," Steve said, clenching his fists.

“Li Ai also made some mistakes,” Dr. Banner waved his hand, correcting him from another angle:

“I conducted a simulation test by changing the core of the cross-species serum to Skrull cells, and the final result was brutal: individuals who used this serum could only be considered half-Skuru.”

“That sounds even worse,” Steve said, rubbing his temples with concern. “In my time, skin color differences could cause bloodshed. If they succeed, how will natural Skrulls view the converted half-Skuru?”

“So we absolutely cannot let the Skrulls succeed,” Li Ai said through gritted teeth.

“Alright, let’s allocate our fighting strength first.” Tony clapped his hands, steer the conversation to the next stage.

The holographic map then displayed information on all currently available combat personnel. Excluding Dr. Pym, who is in logistics and research, the combat-capable personnel are as follows:

Li Ai, Banner, Tony, Ada (codenamed "Mrs. Scott"), Leon, Peter, Jessica, Nancy, Steve, plus the ten-man commando team chosen by Leon.

In addition to the people mentioned above, two more people were successfully recruited.

The first is another spider-type ability user Peter encounters. She is a woman who calls herself Ghost Spider. After confirming that she is not a Skrull, Peter also extends an invitation to her. Ghost Spider says she is willing to join, but is not yet willing to reveal her identity.

After Peter relayed this to Li Ai and the others, they all expressed their understanding and agreed to let Ghost Spider join the team.

The second person is Daisy, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent whose identity was exposed on her first day at Midtown High School. On the day the Skrulls disguised themselves as terrorists and attacked the opening party, Li Ai knew that she also had superpowers, so she asked Steve to recruit her.

After some persuasion, Daisy agreed to join under the codename 'Shockwave' and, along with Ghost Spider, received new equipment provided by Tony.

“Leave this to me.” Steve nodded, quickly piecing together all the information in his mind. His gaze swept over the codenames on the holographic map, and he said in a deep voice:

"I made the following deployment: First, Agent Kennedy and a ten-man commando team were prepared as reserve forces."

Secondly, Tony, Shockwave, and I will attack Base One.

Banner, Spider-Man, and Ghost Spider attack Base Two.

Li Ai, Mrs. Scott, the Female Knight, and Lord Six are attacking Base Three.

As Steve finished speaking, the member codenames above the map automatically returned to their positions under Jarvis's control.

“Great, the arrangement is perfect.” Tony clapped his hands to himself, then said in a teasing tone:

"Except for one student who took the day off today, we still have to wait for most of the superpowered students to get out of school."

These words made Steve think deeply. He did not approve of involving minors in danger, but the current situation was so compelling that he had to use every fighting force to the fullest.

After a moment of silence, Steve looked at Li Ai and said meaningfully:

"After we drive these alien invaders away, we'll have to have a good talk about what to do with you students."

Chapter 104 Offensive

Upon hearing this question, Li Ai could only give an awkward smile and look away.

There were indeed too many underage students involved in this operation. Li Ai is legally an adult, while Daisy and Nancy are both seventeen.

Next up is Jessica, who will be sixteen next spring.

Peter is the youngest, only fourteen now, while the 'Ghost Spider' who doesn't want to reveal her identity, Li Ai roughly guessed from the memories of the transmigrator that she is Gwen Stacy, the daughter of Sheriff George, and is also a freshman, definitely not fifteen years old.

This group of people, when they got together, were clearly not a secret mission team, but rather an extracurricular interest group.

"Let's talk about it later. I think we need to consider this more carefully." Li Ai scratched the back of his head, wanting to quickly change the subject. He turned to Banner and asked:

"Dr. Banner, is there any mage who would be willing to spare some time to help us?"

Since three portals need to be opened simultaneously when transferring the hostages, Banner alone would be too busy, so Li Ai suggested going to Kamar-Taj to borrow some more people.

“Two mages can help us,” Dr. Banner replied. “One is Mage Casillas, and the other is Mage King.”

Li Ai still had some impression of these two monks. One looked like he was very good at cooking and dealing with people, and the other was the honest and kind-hearted deputy of the Supreme Monk.

“They can come here when school is over,” Li Ai said happily.

"Once this is over, I definitely need to find a bigger place to use as a base. This villa is a bit too restrictive," Tony muttered to himself before continuing to prepare his secret weapon.

..............................

As evening fell, all those involved in the operation quickly arrived at the villa in the woods with the help of a teleportation spell, and more than twenty people gathered on the dance floor on the first floor.

This place, originally intended for guests to revel and dance, has now been transformed into a makeshift war room filled with various equipment boxes and staff.

The robust, short-haired white man, having just fastened the last buckle of his exoskeleton armor, stretched his shoulders and said:

"Lyon, isn't this high-tech equipment a bit too flashy?"

"It's alright, this armor actually has a camouflage function."

Wearing the custom-made armor, Leon pointed to his left chest. With a gentle press, the black and red armor transformed into a black military combat uniform, without a trace of reflection, and felt almost indistinguishable from ordinary fabric.

"That guy called Kamen Rider ZZZ is really something," the white man couldn't help but remark.

"Chris, this gun feels amazing." A red-haired woman with a ponytail was holding a gun that looked almost identical to the standard American military rifle, but was actually an energy weapon.

These two are the Redfield siblings; the short-haired man is the older brother, Chris, and the red-haired woman is Claire, who once fought her way out of Raccoon City with Leon.

Years later, the siblings, along with Leon, are working in different fields to prevent bioterrorism. Now, Leon has recruited them to participate in this operation against the Skrulls.

Chris also called in his teammates, Sheva, an African American woman, and sniper Pierce.

The fully automatic assault rifle and energy rifle with camouflage capabilities are both Li Ai's creations. The problems that require a lot of investment to overcome in the outside world are just a matter of turning the projection and the thruster capsule for him.

"Captain Chris, do you really think those people over there are adults?" Sniper Pierce sidled up to Chris and glanced at the other side out of the corner of his eye. He noticed the Star Wars limited edition pendant on Peter's backpack.

“I’m not the captain today,” Chris shook his head and denied. “The one in command today is that legend.”

"Is this Stark Technology? It feels so different from what I made by hand!" Gwen Stacy, who was fighting under the codename 'Ghost Spider', was testing the new equipment.

Because the vibrations would put a strain on her bones, 'Shockwave' Daisy received a pair of mechanical arm guards made by Tony to reduce the burden. They also had built-in miniature Arc batteries that could fire palm cannons similar to those in Iron Man armor, enhancing her endurance.

"Damn it, they've never given me this much equipment before," Daisy said, looking down. The "they" she was referring to was S.H.I.E.L.D.
