Marvel's The Dark Knight Rises

Chapter 22 A Plan Not a Plan

On that familiar big table in the basement, the crystal blue liquid was firmly bound by the test tube. No one knew the power and practical value it possessed.

Enhance the quality of the human body, improve the structure of the human body, and even accelerate the healing ability of the human body.

Wearing glasses, Alfred carefully looked at the super soldier serum that Bruce put on the test tube rack on the table, as if seeing his beloved lover, "Master, can I study this?"

Bruce reluctantly put down the development group plan that Alfred had made in the past few days, shook his head, and said simply: "Five hours have passed since I brought it back, Alfred , You have been looking at it like this for five hours, and you have asked the same question five times, once an hour on average, please Afu, now we have the conditions to study this serum.”

"Master, I have already taught myself the advanced chemistry and physics knowledge of this world, and"

"Stop! Stop, Alfred."

Bruce breathed a sigh of relief, and turned Alfred, who seemed a little excited at the moment, "I know you are 'very, very' interested in this kind of high-tech products, and I also believe in your ability, but Alfred Fred, this bottle of super soldier serum is a product that has not been perfectly replicated until the 21st century, after research by Howard Stark, Dr. Banner, and many scientists in the US military that I don’t know. Wait until our The group has grown, and the world we live in is just a little bit more scientific."

"But maybe by then I'll have something more interesting, my lord. A scientist's passions are ever-changing, so can I now?"

Alfred adjusted his glasses and said to Bruce again.

"Oh shit."

Bruce scratched his head in pain. If he was given another chance, he would not have chosen to carry a bunch of chemistry and physics books to Alfred to "relax boredom". Well, in fact, he also held Alfred The "cultivation" of virtue should be more comprehensive, so that you can use self-made weapons in the future, and you don't have to go to the black market to buy explosives and guns at high prices
In the end, who knew that Alfred's learning ability was so BT!You can learn to be a physicist and chemist by yourself!Bruce knew that Ah Fu often attended some gatherings of chemistry and physics enthusiasts, and those so-called "enthusiasts", some worked in government scientific research institutions, and some opened their own laboratories in universities!

Of course, now Bruce really doesn't worry about his weapons anymore. As long as there are materials, Fu can make light weapons and several types of high explosives commonly found on the black market, but the consequence is that Fu can't see beyond this now. For things of the scientific research level of the times, such as the bottle of super soldier serum in front of him, Ah Fu showed his enthusiasm and persistence different from usual
After staring at each other quietly for a while, Alfred seemed to see the words "strongly disagree" in Bruce's eyes. He took one last look at the super soldier serum, and then turned his head, as if he had completely recovered his previous composure. Heping, "Okay, master, then, you walked all morning just to get back this bottle of serum?"

Bruce rubbed his temples and sat back on the chair, "Getting back the serum is just one of them."

"Any other purpose?"

Bruce nodded, looked at Alfred and said, "Do you still know that I once told you that I have a non-solution method to deal with this group of Hydras in New York who refuse to show their heads?"

"You said, but what does getting back the serum have to do with your plan?"

Bruce clasped his hands together and placed them on the table, his eyes seemed to be flickering with thoughtfulness.

"I used to have two plans. The first plan was to rely on the power I could control to slowly force the Hydra organization hidden in New York out of the water, and then perform a 'beheading' to destroy their lair in one fell swoop. But they are too tolerant, they would rather be shrinking turtles than expose their identities."

"So your first plan failed?"

Bruce nodded, and said lightly, "That's right, so I have to use the plan that wasn't a plan."

"Appreciate further details."

Bruce looked at Ah Fu, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Remember what I told you this morning, I don't have a hammer that can be used to break turtle shells?"

Alfred's eyes flashed, and he smiled gently: "Have you found the hammer?"

Bruce winked at him: "I found it, but it's not mine, it's from the US military~"

********
"Have you found any clues?"

In a secret underground base on the outskirts of New York City, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a military officer opened the door and walked into the dissection room. Looking at the agents and doctors who were still busy surrounding a dead body, he couldn't help frowning.

This is a top-secret experimental base directly under the jurisdiction of the US military. Most of Dr. Erkins and other scientific researchers who served the US military have worked here for a long time, and the current major general officer is in charge of this A representative of the US military at the experimental base.

The person placed on the planing table is naturally the Hydra agent who was killed by Bruce at the river port in the morning. At this time, his chest and limbs have been completely dissected, and the clothes he wore were neatly dissected. Set aside, everything from the clothes, the fake government official ID, the detonator, and a vial of chloride were placed on a tray next to the body.

The leader of the agents saw the officer coming in. After saluting, he hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward and handed a badge to the officer, "Sir, of all the things we have found so far, only this badge is the most valuable" value', although 'it' is somewhat dubious."

The officer raised his eyebrows and took the badge with dried blood.

"Another Hydra badge? Isn't it the same as the ones we got before? What's the difference?"

The agent leader explained: "According to Agent Carter, there was a man in a black coat who rescued the man who killed Dr. Erkins and stole the super soldier serum, but we ended up at the river port again. The body of this person was found. After inspection, it should be a homicide. It cannot be ruled out that the agents sent by the Hydra headquarters are infighting. However, sir
You turn this badge over. "

The officer glanced at the agent and flipped the badge over at his suggestion.

"Huh? NYC, for New York City?"

This badge is the same as the normal Hydra badge. On the front, there seems to be a pattern of small snakes around the skull, but on the back, there is a NYC letter that is not printed on the normal Hydra badge. It is small but very clear.

"Until now, we still haven't found any trace of the suspicious man in black. It seems that he killed the Hydra agent in front of us. According to the report on Schmidt analyzed by Dr. Erkins, we initially It can be concluded that the dead Hydra agent should have been dispatched by Schmidt from the German headquarters, which fits his character of wanting to keep everything in his hands, and this blood-stained badge is in the distance. It was found by our people three meters away from the murdered Hydra agent, and after judgment, it should have fallen from the man in black."

"so?"

"We determined that there was a disagreement between the two agents of Hydra, and the result was that the agent in black killed the agent and left the scene with the serum. Now the entire city of New York and the eastern seaboard of the United States The military has issued a strict blockade and inspection order, and people entering and leaving New York and the U.S. sea have undergone strict inspections, but we still have not received any news about the appearance of the serum, or, the agent is trying to find a way to leave New York, if Well, he will be caught by us sooner or later, either, he has given the serum to the organization or person he wants to give it to, an organization or person connected to Hydra headquarters, but there is a rift .”

The Major General frowned and glanced at the Hydra badge with the three letters "NYC" printed on it again, "You mean, in New York, there is likely to be a Hydra that doesn't deal with Hydra's German headquarters. Organization? A self-reliant branch?"

"Judging from the fact that they want to get the serum, even at the expense of killing Hydra headquarters agents, if some doubts are excluded, I think so, sir."

The major general rubbed the badge in his hand, weighed the pros and cons for a while, and finally put the badge in his jacket pocket, and said lightly: "Go ahead, if you find any valuable information, remember to tell me as soon as possible. Will remember to write a report on the reasoning you just told me, and I will hand it over to the chief, you did a good job."

After finishing speaking, the Major General opened the door and hurried out of the interrogation room, as if preparing to report the incident to his superiors.

"Master, don't you think there are too many doubts about your plan?"

After hearing Bruce's plan, Alfred straightened his glasses and said noncommittally.

Bruce shrugged slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "I don't need to forge a perfect lie and so-called 'evidence', I just need the US military to suspect, based on how much they value this bottle of super soldier serum, As well as the fear of Hydra getting this bottle of serum, with this suspicion, they will soon follow the "clues" I left in Brooklyn during this period, and start looking for the underwater creature that actually exists in New York. of the 'Hydra'."

Looking at the bottle of serum on the table that made countless people go crazy, Bruce said indifferently: "Such valuable things will always make some people lose some ability to judge and act blindly, but when they really find New York Hydra branch, they will thank me in the end, won't they?"
