Chapter 674 Open Sesame
In Peter's mind, Baron Zemo should have been killed by Kang, and Kovacs had no reason to resurrect Zemo.
Or was it that the person who appeared at the scene wasn't actually Zemo?
Watching Zemo walk out of the teleportation array, Peter hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to follow. Although following him now might allow him to gather a lot of information, the more crucial details were definitely in the teleportation hub.
So he didn't follow.
Zemo, who had just stepped out of the teleportation chamber, stopped and looked back at it. He took a few more steps and then paused again.
Dr. Faust, a high-ranking Hydra official in charge of Hydra's Antarctic headquarters, looked at Zemo with some confusion: "What's wrong, Your Excellency?"
"No, it's nothing."
Zemo shook his head. At first, he thought someone was following him, but after walking a few steps and confirming that no one was following him, he continued walking and chatting with Faust: "I am very safe now. Those so-called superheroes didn't realize that their teammate was actually Zemo from Hydra. It's ridiculous."
"It seems our experiment is indeed progressing smoothly. Since the chameleon mask is so effective, why don't we manufacture more and create a large number of disguised soldiers?"
Dr. Faust offered his suggestion, and Zemo, upon hearing it, glanced at Faust. It was a good idea, but only if a sufficiently safe and trustworthy person could be found to perform the surgery.
"Hydra is short-handed, Doctor. We don't have enough trustworthy soldiers."
The modern Hydra originated from the remnants of Hydra during World War II. At that time, the remnants had a very limited population and needed to maintain several large bases. If they relied solely on intermarriage, the population would inevitably be insufficient.
Moreover, the gene pool is not large enough, so the Hydra minions become less resistant to disease as time goes on.
The number of people who are compatible with the super soldier modification will definitely decrease.
Of course, in theory, Hydra is not without solutions. The simplest way is to absorb outsiders. However, considering Hydra's own characteristics, it is estimated that these people would have great difficulty obtaining security clearance to enter the various bases.
Well, theoretically speaking, nobody knows why Spider-Man can cause trouble so easily here.
Just as Baron Zemo and Dr. Faust were discussing something, a change from outside Hydra Mountain put the entire mountain on high alert. Upon hearing this news, Zemo, his expression unchanged, asked, "What happened?"
"Report! There's an attack by cavemen outside! And Deadpool too!"
Zemo wasn't interested at all when he heard it was about cavemen, but when he heard Deadpool, he narrowed his eyes and prepared to get involved. He was also very curious about where Deadpool came from.
This gave Peter enough time.
At this moment, Peter had already knocked out the Hydra soldier in charge of the control room and began operating the control panel.
Peter was initially worried that Nornstone's control panel might be very difficult to operate, but he was surprised to find that it was actually quite easy to use.
"Alright, let's see how many secrets Hydra has buried in the teleportation array, starting with the teleportation coordinates for other places—doesn't headquarters have them?"
Peter first focused on the coordinates of other Hydra branches, but he found that only the Antarctic base sent teleportation requests to Hydra headquarters, and not the other way around.
In other words, even with the Norn Stone, Hydra was still hiding traces of their headquarters, which piqued Peter's curiosity, but he first memorized the coordinates of all the other headquarters.
At the same time, Peter discovered another fact: the Hydra teleportation system had been in use since the 1950s, right after the end of World War II.
What does this mean? It means that Hydra discovered Nornstone in the last century, and even more so, that Nornstone exists on Earth.
If this is true, then Peter is certain that creating a teleportation hub of their own for the Avengers has become much easier.
"That's about it. Next, we need to consider how to remove the shielding of the electronic signals and the forced closure of the teleportation array. We don't know how to remove the former yet, but the latter is undoubtedly related to the Norn Stone. As long as we adjust the Norn Stone, it will be removed simultaneously—or perhaps—"
While Peter was pondering how to activate or deactivate the Norn Stone, he discovered some special experiment numbers. These experiments explained in detail how to trigger the Norn Stone, but also told Peter the purpose of the experiments.
Hydra is attempting to obtain resources from another universe—meaning that Hydra discovered the multiverse before the Avengers, established contact with one of the universes, and planned to open a portal between the two universes.
Peter was quite certain that the universe wasn't a benevolent one, otherwise why would Hydra be chatting so happily with them?
"But the good news is that, as an experimental report, these experiments have listed all the steps to activate the Norn Stone, so simply destroying the Norn Stone's sequence isn't too difficult—wait a minute—hmm?"
Soon, various things were happening inside the Hydra base. Peter keenly realized that Katie must be covering for him, so he immediately activated the Spider-Droid, hacked into the Hydra's power armor, and caused a great disturbance.
This also bought Peter more time.
"Alright, following the procedure, we just need to try to inject a large amount of energy into the Norn Stone—"
A powerful lightning bolt struck the Nornstone, and in an instant, the stone erupted with a blinding blue light, drawing everything into the vortex.
Peter tentatively drew a swivel to ensure that the portal could be opened again, and then walked towards the vortex. If his calculations were correct, then Avengers Tower was on the other side of the vortex.
Peter successfully passed through the vortex and returned to the top of Avengers Tower, where the Avengers who had been gathered to discuss where Spider-Man was were stunned.
After confirming with Cindy Moon via remote communication that the person in front of him was indeed Peter, Tony asked in surprise.
"Hey kid, where did you come from?"
In response to Tony's question, Peter pointed to the vortex.
"A secret Hydra base, containing Baron Zemo, Norn Stones, and other things. This vortex won't last much longer. Shall we all attack together?"
