Chapter 0170 A Plan That Kills Two Birds with One Stone
War Alliance Base.
Captain America Steve looked around in surprise, not expecting the War Alliance to be so magnificent; its scale was much larger than S.H.I.E.L.D.. Looking at the War Alliance members, their neat uniforms, and their spirited demeanor, Steve could clearly feel their vitality.
That vibrant, upward-striving vitality was something S.H.I.E.L.D. lacked.
"Coulson? Have you joined the War Alliance now too?"
Seeing Coulson, Steve noticed that although he was still wearing a suit on the outside, his inner shirt also showed the War Alliance emblem. Steve asked with some surprise.
Coulson nodded: "Su Zhan saved our entire team, and the current situation at S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't suitable for working alone, so joining the War Alliance isn't bad. At least here, we can do many beneficial things."
"There's a beneficial thing waiting for you to do right now, it could save hundreds of thousands, even millions of lives!" Su Zhan walked over and said to Coulson.
Coulson looked at Su Zhan, and Steve was also curious. He knew Su Zhan wouldn't speak without purpose. What kind of matter could affect millions of people?
"S.H.I.E.L.D. has three Aircraft Carriers, equipped with an algorithm called the Insight Project, which can identify people with Abilities… If they activate the Aircraft Carriers, at least millions of people will die instantly!" Su Zhan said in a deep voice.
Coulson and Captain America Steve immediately gasped. Coulson quickly asked: "I've never heard of this plan. Why would they do such a thing?"
"To eliminate obstacles, HYDRA has always plotted to control the World, and these people with Abilities, or Super Heroes, will certainly stop them. So, using S.H.I.L.D.'s resources and finances, they completed this plan. Now HYDRA has officially occupied S.H.I.E.L.D., and I believe it won't be long before they execute this plan. By then, while we might be able to react and prepare, most people will have no idea that Death is coming."
"We must stop them!" Captain America Steve said sternly.
Su Zhan nodded: "Of course, but it won't be that easy. HYDRA has already teamed up with Magneto, and destroying the Aircraft Carriers won't be simple. So, Coulson, you must spread this news as quickly as possible. Better safe than sorry; the more helpers we have, the greater our chance of success. You should know that if even one Aircraft Carrier isn't stopped, at least hundreds of thousands of people will die!"
"Destroying the Aircraft Carriers, this is the War Alliance's true first mission!"
"I want to help too!"
At this moment, Skye suddenly came over, probably having overheard the conversation, and volunteered.
Su Zhan looked at Skye and said with a smile: "You're the expert in this area, of course I need your help."
"Then let's go!"
Skye nodded happily, finally able to play a role.
It must be said, Skye was indeed very powerful. It's unknown how she did it, but she managed to control the global network, broadcasting this message simultaneously across various global networks and video platforms.
Suddenly, everyone exploded. Whether ordinary citizens or Ability users hidden among them, their first reaction upon seeing this news was trouble, something big was about to happen. Although some doubted the accuracy of the message, believing it to be a prank, seeing the large "War Alliance" at the end, they had no choice but to believe.
After all, the War Alliance had just rescued Captain America from S.H.I.E.L.D.. If there wasn't really a problem, why would Captain America be wanted and hunted by S.H.I.E.L.D., and why would the War Alliance go to S.H.I.E.L.D. to save him?
Captain America's name was still very effective; most of the public still trusted Captain America very much. Therefore, they also developed extreme trust in the War Alliance, a name appearing for the first time.
This was what Su Zhan wanted!
The sudden establishment of the War Alliance made it difficult to quickly establish status and trust among the public and everyone. If they followed the usual routine of catching criminals and having War Alliance members do good deeds, perhaps they could succeed in the future.
But it was too slow…
Leveraging Captain America's influence could quickly gain the trust of everyone for the War Alliance, saving at least three to five years, and this time was very precious! As for what Captain America Steve thought? Su Zhan didn't mind; after all, I saved you once, so you have to pay some price.
Of course, it didn't matter what Captain America Steve thought now. After the first message was released, Su Zhan had Skye immediately send out another message: announcing the location of the War Alliance, so that those willing to help could come to the War Alliance first, and act together for a greater chance of success.
Natasha was a bit worried if this would be too high-profile? What if enemies infiltrated? Who knew if these people were good or bad? In response, Su Zhan just smiled and said he had it under control!
Distinguishing good from bad was difficult for others, but for Su Zhan, it was very easy.
As soon as someone mentioned their Ability and name, Su Zhan could basically identify their identity.
If even Su Zhan didn't recognize them, it meant they were minor characters, and even if they had malicious intent, they couldn't cause any significant trouble.
Most importantly, this way, although the War Alliance stood at the forefront, once they got through it, the War Alliance would instantly become one of the top well-known organizations. Secondly, with the War Alliance taking the lead this time, they might even recruit some good members.
It was clearly more beneficial than harmful; the risks, though present, were not great.
After this message was sent out, not only did the Ability users hidden in the crowd know about it, but S.H.I.E.L.D. HYDRA certainly knew as well. Therefore, no one knew when HYDRA would activate the Insight Project and launch the Aircraft Carriers, which required taking some preemptive action.
While Blink and Natasha arranged the War Alliance's affairs, responsible for receiving, screening, and settling potential War Alliance recruits, Su Zhan left the War Alliance Base. He was going to find someone, someone who could let him know immediately when HYDRA was preparing to launch the Aircraft Carriers!
With this person's help, knowing both himself and his enemy, Su Zhan could arrange the situation properly.
Chapter 0171 Sharon's Confusion
Sharon had just returned home from work. Of course, she wasn't coming from a hospital, but from S.H.I.E.L.D.. She knew about Captain America's situation. In fact, before Captain America was questioned, she was also questioned, because Nick Fury was at Captain America's house at the time, and her task was to monitor Captain America, so she couldn't avoid being asked.
She answered truthfully, and the higher-ups didn't say anything, just told her to return to S.H.I.E.L.D. to work.
Sharon didn't know why her original mission was suddenly canceled and she was told to return to S.H.I.E.L.D. to work, but she was quite happy, after all, she had trained for so long, and her goal was to become a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, not to disguise her identity to monitor others. However, her happiness didn't last long. She saw Su Zhan leading people to injure S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents and rescue Captain America, and then immediately heard about the Insight Project, naturally learning about HYDRA.
Sharon didn't know what to do, nor who to trust.
She thought she was working hard for justice, but then discovered that the place she fought and worked for was actually the source of evil. This blow was not small.
Taking out her key to open the door, Sharon was unenthusiastic, and had no mood to cook or eat. She wanted to figure out what she should do.
Closing the door, she casually threw her coat onto the sofa, but then Sharon suddenly heard sounds coming from the kitchen. Sharon instantly became alert, pulled out her gun, and slowly walked towards the kitchen, pointing the gun.
Clink, clank.
It sounded like someone was cooking.
A person wearing an apron seemed to be stir-frying, and a waft of fragrant aroma slowly drifted out, making Sharon involuntarily swallow her saliva.
"Su Zhan? Why are you here?"
When she clearly saw who was in the kitchen, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Su Zhan turned to look at Sharon holding the gun and said with a smile: "Uh, aren't you going to put that thing away before talking? I really hate it when people point that at me!"
Sharon hesitated for a moment, put her gun away, and pressed: "Why are you in my house? You, you're cooking, Chinese food?"
"Hmm, just simple home-style dishes, but the taste is definitely more authentic than what you'd find in a restaurant. Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, this is probably the first time I've cooked for someone, for a woman, since I came to this World!" Su Zhan smiled. Sharon inexplicably felt happy and proud when she heard this, but then quickly calmed down. Now was not the time to be pleased that Su Zhan was cooking for her.
"You still haven't said why you came."
"Because of you!"
Su Zhan smiled and said: "I know you're curious. How about this, can you be a little patient? After I finish cooking, we can eat and talk?"
Seeing that Su Zhan seemed genuinely busy, although Sharon was curious, she could only wait beside him.
Soon, Su Zhan had made three or four dishes, arranged the table, and smilingly invited Sharon to sit down.
"Try it, it shouldn't be too bad." Su Zhan smiled, picked up a chopstick full of food, and extended it to Sharon's mouth. Sharon hesitated for a moment and opened her mouth. "How is it?"
