Speaking of which, this Dark Elf was indeed quite well-behaved, not only working diligently without complaint but also harboring no ill intentions, so Su Zhan didn't mind slightly elevating his status!
"Blink, go out and bring him over!"
"Yes, BOSS!"
Blink responded, opened a portal, and disappeared. A moment later, the portal reopened, and Blink appeared in the conference room with a person!
Lizard Professor!
The person who arrived was none other than Lizard Professor.
Looking at the people in the conference room, Lizard Professor seemed a bit nervous, especially towards Su Zhan, even having a feeling of not daring to look up.
"Tell me, why did you suddenly come to find me?"
Su Zhan sat on a chair, his feet casually propped on the table, hands clasped, looking at Lizard Professor…
Lizard Professor hesitated for a long time before quietly saying, "I… I'm already following you, aren't I? I just thought maybe there was something you needed me to run errands for, so I came over?"
"Oh? I remember it's been a while, hasn't it? If you truly thought that, why didn't you come sooner?" Su Zhan asked with a smile.
Lizard Professor choked, unable to speak.
"Hmph, why else? He must have been scared, of course," Bone Marrow on the side couldn't help but say.
She didn't have a good impression of Lizard Professor; after all… Lizard Professor had tried to capture her before.
Su Zhan didn't speak, just stared at Lizard Professor. Even though Lizard Professor didn't look up, he could feel that gaze constantly on him, making him feel immense pressure, and even his breathing seemed to become uneven. He knew this should be considered a kind of deliberation. After hesitating for a long time, Lizard Professor gritted his teeth and said, "Yes… I was scared. After I went back, I kept hiding. I… I wasn't willing to follow you just like that. Especially when I found that you didn't come to find me, which made me feel even more that maybe you were just scaring me and threatening me at the time, and you didn't intend to recruit me! I… I just saw the news and knew you killed Dr. Octopus. I had some contact with him before, and I was afraid I would end up like him, so I came!"
After speaking, Lizard Professor seemed to have exhausted all his strength, waiting nervously for Su Zhan to speak.
After a long while, Su Zhan slowly said, "Since you're here, stay. Coincidentally, there's a team of scientific researchers here, and plenty of manpower. I have an Ability potion here; you can research it."
"Phew!" Lizard Professor let out a long breath, nodding repeatedly.
"I won't warn you; you should already know what it will be anyway." Su Zhan got up, clapped his hands, and said, "Things are arranged like this for now. If anything happens, have Blink contact me."
Su Zhan wasn't worried that Lizard Professor would cause any trouble. Blink, Bone Marrow, and Chen Haoran had all made great progress during this time, which was enough to deal with one Lizard Professor.
He was going to Skye's place and also intended to ask Fitz about the battle suits he had him make.
Chapter 0100 S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy
Among the layers of clouds, Su Zhan found the S.H.I.E.L.D. plane. Without him needing to say anything, Mei, who was piloting the plane, had already detected Su Zhan and opened the hatch directly. After Su Zhan entered, he found the others gathered at the bar, seemingly discussing something.
Seeing Su Zhan suddenly appear, Skye naturally was the first to pounce on him.
After their intimate contact, Su Zhan had become more important than herself in Skye's heart.
"What are you guys talking about? It looks like you have a mission." Su Zhan put his arm around Skye, smiling as he asked the others.
"Yes," Fitz nodded and said, "There was an accident at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. The swimming pool water suddenly froze, and a device was found inside. Uh, this device was a concept we researched before, and we didn't expect the concept to become reality now, so we need to go investigate!"
"Is that so…"
Su Zhan nodded in response, not expecting his timing to be so coincidental. He generally knew about this incident, and most importantly, he seemed to be able to recruit someone to expand his influence this time!
"By the way, how are the battle suits I asked you to make last time?"
"Hmm, they're already done, in the same style as yours, just without the cape. I thought, after all, we need to distinguish you from them. Oh, and since I didn't know the sizes, I specifically made several different sizes!"
Speaking of this, Fitz was quite excited. Su Zhan also wanted to see what they looked like, so he followed Fitz to the lab. Looking at the battle suits Fitz took out, Su Zhan was very satisfied and patted his shoulder, saying, "Thanks!"
"It's nothing," Fitz said with a low laugh.
"I'll take these." Su Zhan said, putting all the battle suits into the system space.
Fitz watched, stunned, wondering where the battle suits went. Su Zhan smiled and winked, but didn't explain, turning to leave.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy.
Because the pool quickly froze and injured people, the students at S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy were quite unsettled. After all, that device was clearly deliberately placed there by someone, specifically targeting those few people swimming. Not knowing who placed it or who it targeted naturally affected the students' mood and emotions.
Because this device contained the successful designs of Fitz and Simmons, they were specifically invited to come, on one hand to give a speech to reassure the students, and on the other hand to investigate who exactly did it!
Su Zhan, Skye, Gemma, and Simmons arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy.
Coulson and Mei had other missions and did not accompany them.
"This is S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. It looks no different from a regular university, doesn't it?" Skye curiously looked around. Students walked by leisurely, some chatting in groups of two or three, others sitting under trees or by flowerbeds, looking down at books.
"Indeed, there's no difference, except that you need at least a Dr. degree to study here, and there are no people with an IQ lower than two digits!" Fitz whispered, "If you continued your studies, you should also be here!"
Skye's IQ was not low, especially her hacking skills, which were exceptional; otherwise, it would be impossible for her to become a S.H.I.E.L.D. consultant.
As they were talking, a woman walked over from a distance. A dark-skinned woman in a formal business suit.
"You're here. It's good to see you!" The woman walked over, smiling and extending her hand, shaking hands with each of them.
Simmons said happily, "You're still so beautiful."
"This is Agent Weaver, the Officer in charge of this case."
Simmons said, but it was clear that Skye and Su Zhan already knew without being told.
"Are there any suspects?" Skye asked curiously.
Agent Weaver nodded and said, "Based on the intellectual level required to develop that device, we have narrowed the scope to the top ten percent of the cadets; it should be among them!"
"Can we talk to the injured person?"
"Of course, I'll arrange for you to talk to Seth after class." Agent Weaver responded. "But for now, Agent Fitz and Agent Simmons need to go to the lecture hall to prepare their speech."
"Suddenly, I've noticed they're very popular here?"
Skye and Su Zhan walked behind, watching many cadets gather around Fitz and Simmons to greet them, and Skye said with a smile.
"After all, they are top students at S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. They need to prepare their speech, so shall we look around? It's rare to come here, after all?" Su Zhan said to Skye with a smile.
The two walked through S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy and soon saw a wall covered with names. This was the Wall of Valor, recording many heroes who died while on missions. Su Zhan and Skye looked at it for a while, and Skye noticed Su Zhan kept staring at a name, couldn't help but glance at it curiously.
"Bucky Barnes?"
"Captain America's childhood friend. When Captain America was not yet Captain America, but Steve Rogers, he had already enlisted first and later joined the Howling Commandos. He fell off a snowy mountain while on a mission with Captain America." Su Zhan gave a brief introduction, but couldn't help but wonder what expression Captain America would have when he learned that Bucky was still alive and appeared before him as Winter Soldier, the Winter Soldier?
Speaking of which, Winter Soldier was also one of Su Zhan's targets.
His body had been modified by HYDRA, with effects similar to Captain America's, and he also had a bionic arm. In terms of overall strength, he could be said to be on par with Captain America, after all… he would become the second-generation Captain America! Of course, he was still controlled by HYDRA now, serving as HYDRA's killing machine.
