Russia, a small town in the northeast.

An old man with gray hair, tall and strong body, and a red nose walked out of the courtyard. He was wearing an ordinary sweatshirt, jeans, and carrying a small canvas bag. There was a smell of vodka mixed with sweat coming from his body.

Not a very pleasant smell.

This is the most common image of the elderly in Russia.

The first ray of sunshine from the east shone on the road, and the old man's steps were steady and strong.

This is a small town with a small floating population, and the neighbors are all familiar with each other. The neighbors greeted him warmly and affectionately called him "Old Victor."

In response to this, Old Victor nodded, his expression relatively cold. The residents of the town understood his inexpressive character and did not find it strange at all.

Neighbors who have been together for decades did not realize that this "Old Victor" had changed. He was not the old man who was cold on the outside and warm on the inside at all. Instead, he was a man who planned to rule the world and almost destroyed a building.

The urban conspirator!

Alexander did not board the battleship. Ever since Mr. Zero sent the avatar who was exactly like him as a "gift" for cooperation, Alexander had retreated behind the scenes and controlled various actions of Hydra through the avatar.

Relying on the special device sent by Mr. Zero, Alexander can do two things and control two bodies at the same time.

Alexander thought that he could use the substitute as bait to trap all the Avengers in the impact of the mothership's fall. Unexpectedly, they could actually find a way to escape from that terrible defensive barrier, and in some way, roughly

Mastered his hiding place.

With the collapse of the battleship group, Hydra was basically in a semi-collapse state.

Under the current circumstances, Alexander did not dare to contact the remaining Hydra members. He knew Olivia's hacking skills. If he did so, he would definitely be traced and located.

The only thing he could do was to issue covert orders prepared in advance, asking some Hydra agents to carry out various terrorist activities to attract attention. He and some core agents took advantage of the outside world's attention to seize the opportunity to hide.

Get up and wait for the opportunity again.

Hydra had already done this kind of thing once after the end of World War II. It would not be difficult to do it again in Alexander's opinion, as their slogan says: if one head is cut off, two more will grow back.

As long as he, Alexander Pierce, is alive, there is still a chance.

The identity of this old Victor is Alexander's covert agent arranged in advance in Russia. Old Victor has never done any tasks in his life. Every month Alexander will remit 50,000 US dollars for him through secret channels as a reward. The only requirement is not to

Marriage and childbirth are allowed.

And just when old Victor had just celebrated his sixtieth birthday, he received the first mission in his life: to die.

Die silently and quietly, and then "give" his identity to Alexander.

Just like that, Alexander Pierce disappeared, and there was only old Victor in the world.

He walked through the path between apartments and walked all the way to the parking lot. After getting into an old-fashioned jeep, Alexander finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he will drive all the way north to a forest about two hundred kilometers away from the town.

Because the terrain is complex and unsuitable for a town, coupled with Russia's vast and sparsely populated environment and its industrial layout mainly concentrated in the west, the government has no intention of developing this forest.

After news spread that someone had been scratched by a bear living in the woods, the woods were completely transformed into a no-man's land.

No one knows that there is a secret base of Hydra. In Alexander's memory, it contains at least ten nuclear warheads made by the former Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War!

In addition, there is an unfrozen Winter Soldier, as well as a large amount of weapons and money.

Relying on these things, coupled with Alexander's prestige, as long as he is given a few months, he can regroup the power of Hydra.

"This time, I will definitely kill you, Zhang Ming, and those hateful Avengers!"

Alexander felt that he had mastered Zhang Ming's biggest secret: he could predict the future about one minute later. This plan was too hasty. He believed that as long as he had enough time to prepare, he would be able to use this secret to kill Zhang Ming.

After thinking about what happened next, Alexander suddenly felt like he had returned to his youth and had to start everything over again, but now he was infinitely stronger in terms of thinking and strategy.

Self-confidence soared.

He picked up a bottle of silver flask. The front of the flask was engraved with Moscow's landmark St. Basil's Church of the Assumption. This was a souvenir from Old Victor's trip to Moscow ten years ago. When he opened it, a unique smell of vodka was released.

The pungent smell wafted out.

Alexander took a big sip of the transparent liquid, which had no other aroma except the aroma of wine. There was a burning sensation in his mouth and nose, as if it was on fire.

Still not used to drinking vodka, it would be nice to have a bottle of whiskey at this time. Alexander thought.

God seemed to hear his inner desire. A glass of honey-colored whiskey was suddenly handed over from the back of the jeep. Judging from the smell, this should be traditional Scotch whiskey...

wrong!

The second the wine glass appeared, Alexander reacted abnormally. His right hand quickly reached into his arms and pulled out a pistol. Before he could pull the trigger, the pistol was tightly held by a steel arm.

Squeak—squeak—

Under the harsh and unpleasant sound, the pistol and Alexander's index finger were pinched and deformed. He reluctantly said the opponent's name: "Winter Soldier!"

Click.

"Ah!" Alexander's fingers were completely twisted off.

"It's Bucky Barnes. The Winter Soldier you knew has disappeared." Steve, who was sitting on the other side, passed the glass forward and said, "I remember you were willing to drink whiskey. This glass is a farewell."

Gift, you will probably have to say goodbye to this world for a long time."

For the sake of the intelligence in Alishan's brain, they would not kill the conspirator easily, but the ending he had to face was not much easier than death.

Various cruel interrogations, a large number of illegal drugs, especially after the development of super healing potions, made it difficult for Alexander to commit suicide.

"How did you find me?"

Faced with the strongest combination of the Winter Soldier and Captain America, Alexander did not give up. While trying to delay time with words, he threw away the gun, held his broken index finger, pretended to be in unbearable pain, and took advantage of the two Steves.

If you don't pay attention, prepare to press the detonation device of the jeep.

"You underestimate Heimdall too much. In Thor's words, your disguise is as conspicuous as a child smearing mud on his face." Steve came closer and asked: "I answered your question, and now it's your turn.

it's your turn."

"Who is that 'Mr. Zero'?"

Mr. Zero?

Do they even know this?

Alexander still didn't know that Sitwell did not die on the battleship, so he told the Avengers all the secrets about him.

But for Mr. Zero, there is no need for him to keep it secret. If it can cause a conflict between the Avengers and Mr. Zero, it will be a good thing for Alexander.

"That Mr. Zero——"

Alexander stopped mid-sentence, and made an unpleasant "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" sound, as if he suddenly became mute. He strangled his neck, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his face turned red.

"Mr. Zero is...just..."

"Just what?" Steve grabbed Alexander's shoulder, and it felt cold to the touch, not like a living person at all.

"that is--"

Alexander slowly raised his head, his eyes were completely covered with bloodshot eyes, and blood flowed from his facial features. In the end, he said nothing and fell stiffly on the seat.

Steve felt his carotid artery.

No more jumping.

Steve and Bucky looked at each other, all kinds of doubts growing in their hearts:

Why sudden death?

Is Alexander really dead, or is this also a substitute?

What did Mr. Zero behind the scenes do?

The joy of finding Alexander disappeared at this moment, and they saw deep vigilance in each other's eyes.

And in a dark corner, Alexander Pierce, who thought he was dead, suddenly woke up. Saying "wake up" may be inappropriate because he couldn't feel his body.

He could see the light yellow liquid around him, but not with his eyes; he could hear the approaching footsteps, but not with his ears; he could smell a disgusting fishy smell, but certainly not with his nose.

He is still alive, in a very strange way.

A thin figure wearing a robe came over and looked down at the glass jar in front of him.

Through the reflection of his pupils, Alexander saw the name "Alexander Pierce" written on a metal sign under the jar, a brain covered with wrinkles, soaked in a pale yellow liquid.

This is... me? Endless fear surged in Alexander's heart.

"Hehehehe——"

A familiar, sharp laugh appeared. This was the laughter belonging to Mr. Zero!

Mr. Zero stretched out a finger. The nails were black and sharp, which obviously did not belong to humans. He put his finger into the jar and gently scratched Alexander's brain.

Don't... don't touch me! Please, don't touch me again!

Under the severe pain, his brain trembled slightly. Mr. Zero's laughter became even louder.

It turns out that the two Alexanders in the battleship and the town were both stand-ins made by Mr. Zero. The real Alexander had long been captured by Mr. Zero and made into a brain specimen, but using some special mind projection technology, Alexander responded to this

Completely unaware.

Before, Alexander's conversation with Mr. Zero was not over the phone at all, but directly here. It was just a "phone call" process added to make him relax his vigilance. In fact, the phone did not ring at all.

This is why Sitwell was unable to trace Mr. Zero because there were no call records.

The various abnormalities displayed by the stand-in Alexander were only discovered by Sitwell because it was carried out through remote mind control, and there was a certain repulsion between the real body and the brain in the vat.

However, the stand-in game only ends here.

Alexander has lost its use value. It is a worthless thing with only one result.

Mr. Zero took out his finger and pressed a button, and a metal stirring device slowly rose from the bottom of the tank.

Alexander, who "saw" this scene through his special senses, yelled like crazy, begging for mercy, saying that he still knew a lot of information. However, his voice could not be transmitted outside the tank, and the stirring device began to rotate slowly...

A few minutes later, a cup of light pink liquid was brought to Mr. Zero's hand.

He picked it up and took a sip.

"Not bad, the flavor of conspiracy, cunning and desperation is just right."
