It must be said, Hydra's actions were actually quite swift.

Originally, Tony Stark had planned to find all the evidence related to Hydra and then hand it over to SHIELD for operation, to deal the biggest blow to Hydra.

Although the killer of his parents was indeed the Winter Soldier, the Winter Soldier was just a pawn, a knife for killing.

Strictly speaking, the real mastermind behind the killing of Iron Man's parents was actually Hydra.

Now that he had already broken into this secret Hydra base, how could Tony Stark miss this rare opportunity and do nothing? However, it's a pity that Hydra's actions were pretty quick, destroying everything that could be destroyed.

They didn't leave anything useful for Tony Stark.

"Sir, Nick Fury is calling."

Just as he was thinking about "scavenging" a bit more to see if he could find something useful, Jarvis immediately sent a reminder.

"Put him through."

Iron Man, after a moment of contemplation, made this decision.

Black Widow had just returned with information on the Winter Soldier, and right after, he himself had created such a "big event."

If Nick Fury couldn't guess what had happened by then, it would really be an injustice to the man's status as head of agents.

"Stark, that grand 'fireworks' in the forest was your doing, wasn't it?"

As expected.

The moment Nick Fury spoke, he hinted wildly in a very certain tone.

"No, I was just going for a drive and happened upon a fireworks show."

Of course, Tony Stark would not admit it, and without blinking an eye, played Tai Chi with the cagey superhero.

"Is that so? How was the fireworks show? Very spectacular, right?"

Nick Fury didn't expose Iron Man either, tacitly playing along with Iron Man, "If I rush over now, can I still catch it?"

"Unfortunately, it's already ended. The show is over!"

"That was quick."

"Who would say otherwise?"

"Besides you, were there any other audience members for this fireworks show?"

"I don't think so!"

Having divulged a few key pieces of information to Nick Fury, Tony Stark didn't waste any more words with him.

He directly cut off the communication and quickly left the secret base.

Squeak! Squeak!

Not long after Tony Stark left.

Several agent vehicles, dragging long trails of dust, roared in and stopped in a line around the chaotic entrance of the base.

The car doors were quickly opened, and a group of armed SHIELD agents rushed down from the vehicles.

The one leading them was none other than Nick Fury's loyal subordinate, the straightforward Phil Coulson.

"Seal off the scene, guard all the exits, nobody leaves, and I mean nobody."

"I want you to take over this base as quickly as possible, take away everything that can be taken."

"There might still be hidden enemies inside, everyone be on alert."

"Alright, everyone, let's get started! Move!"

Following Coulson's order, a large number of SHIELD agents immediately started spreading out, surrounding the entire base.

What awaited them was the mess Tony Stark had left behind.

Of course.

Although the relevant data had been deleted and the corresponding materials had been destroyed.

Hydra, in their rush, couldn't possibly erase all traces.

Not to mention.

The Hydra agents strewn about the base were the best "gift" for Fury.

To be frank, even a mess on the ground still held great analytical value for Nick Fury.

However, for Nick Fury's former boss, Alexander Pierce, it was a massive headache.

"Sir, our base has fallen, the Winter Soldier is confirmed dead."

"Although James activated the purge program in time, and the core information was destroyed, not all personnel in the base managed to evacuate."

"A significant number of our people have fallen into Nick Fury's hands."

"Including our commander James."

Hearing the report from his high-ranking undercover agent before him, Pierce's expression couldn't have been uglier or more ominous.

It seemed as if he had been violently slapped several times, his mouth even twitching involuntarily.

For a regular base, Alexander Pierce wouldn't really care.

After all, Hydra was large and could bear some losses.

But this base was different; it was the Winter Soldier's base!

Ever since Bucky Barnes was transformed into a super-soldier, he had been eliminating many major threats for Hydra for almost seventy years.

He could be considered an exceedingly sharp knife and a top-secret ace in Hydra's hand!

For the entire Hydra, he was of great value.

Now that he was dead, Alexander Pierce felt a great loss.

However, more than feeling the loss, Alexander Pierce was filled with anger and vigilance.

Why did the Destroyer suddenly discover this secret base?

It was too sudden!

Completely catching Pierce off guard, he was even now struggling to accept it.

Heavens have mercy.

The Winter Soldier's base had always been operating in the dark, never revealing any flaws.

It hadn't even attracted Nick Fury's attention.

So how could it suddenly catch the attention of the Destroyer?

No, it was more than just attention.

You know who the Destroyer is?

He is a public superhero, always involved in punishing the wicked and fighting crime.

How could such a person casually deploy his armor for suppression and destruction?

Unless, the Destroyer considered that secret base, like the other armed bases he destroyed, to be evil forces!

So, what exactly did Tony Stark, that guy, know?

What exactly did he have?

Had he already figured out that the base was actually Hydra's?

This couldn't be possible.

How could Tony Stark suddenly possess a major Hydra secret?

Alexander Pierce instinctively rubbed his temples, struggling to think through this series of questions.

But the event happened so suddenly, it wasn't something Pierce could figure out in a moment.

"Look into it!"

"Thoroughly investigate!"

"I need to know why that Iron Man suddenly took action against us."

"I need to know what he found out!"

Retrieving his fingers from his temples, Pierce quickly regained his composure.

He gave such an order to his high-ranking undercover agent before him.

"Yes, sir!"

"And another thing…"

It wasn't over yet, Pierce continued giving one order after another.

With a Hydra secret base suddenly destroyed and exposed right before Nick Fury's eyes, it was visibly clear that a whole lot of trouble was coming.

Alexander Pierce would do his utmost, without arousing Nick Fury's suspicion, to preserve as much of Hydra's power as possible.This was not an easy matter.

Even Alexander Pierce had now recognized a fact: Hydra was about to bleed again in this wave.

Lately, Hydra had really been down on its luck!

Pierce's suspicions were correct.

Nick Fury's methods were unquestionable. After taking over that mess, he began a series of operations.

Every trace was thoroughly and meticulously analyzed by Nick Fury.

Every Hydra agent captured was secretly and comprehensively interrogated by Nick Fury.

Although the core data had been completely destroyed by Commander James, Nick Fury still managed to uncover quite a bit.

A new wave of conflict between Hydra and SHIELD, a new round of secret confrontations between Pierce and Nick Fury, unfolded once again.

Of course.

Even if Pierce and Nick Fury fought fiercely, Zhou Cheng would have no way of knowing.

Compared to the troubles of these two, Zhou Cheng was in a good mood at the moment.

Because he had once again received a reward from the diary.

[Item: Hacker Mastery]

[Attribute: Hacking Skills]

[Origin: Agents of SHIELD]

[Detailed Introduction: All the hacking technique experience and skills of Darcy Johnson.]

"This time's reward is actually from Marvel?"

Sorting through the information in his mind, Zhou Cheng found it somewhat unexpected.

It had been over a year since he received the diary, and in that time, Zhou Cheng had received a reward every fifteen days.

Up to now, Zhou Cheng had received as many as twenty to thirty rewards.

Aside from most rewards enhancing physical attributes, all were from worlds outside of Marvel.

Zhou Cheng didn't expect this time's reward would come from Agents of SHIELD.

The series, sharing the same background as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, could also be considered part of it.

If that was the case...

Zhou Cheng's eyes slightly brightened, even harboring some expectations.

Some of the abilities in Marvel were extremely powerful; he wondered if there would be an opportunity to acquire them?

For example, Doctor Strange's magic, Scarlet Witch's magic, or Odin's power?

That was a bit of a stretch.

Zhou Cheng shook his head and smiled lightly, quickly focusing back on the reward at hand.

Darcy Johnson? Isn't she Quake?

However, instead of awarding Quake's seismic abilities, the diary awarded her hacking skills!

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but voice his complaints.

But complaints aside, Zhou Cheng was actually quite satisfied with this reward from the diary.

Apart from her strong abilities, Quake was also an incredibly skilled hacker.

Before joining SHIELD, while still fighting against them with the Rising Tide organization, she could hack into SHIELD's security system, which cost billions to build, with just a laptop.

It was because of such exceptional hacking skills that Coulson extended an olive branch to her.

In an era of information technology, these hacking skills were unquestionably very useful.

"Let's see what it feels like to be a top hacker!"

Eager Zhou Cheng began to use his laptop.

His hands moved fluently across it.

Just a few days ago, there were leaks about a monster battle on the internet, but soon, all related information was deleted.

Zhou Cheng was very curious about this.

Could that so-called monster be the Hulk?

With a bit of curiosity, Zhou Cheng, who had only basic computer skills, began performing a series of smooth operations.

In just half a minute.

Several deleted and banned videos popped up on Zhou Cheng's computer screen.

In the videos.

Two green behemoths, like human tanks, collided fiercely.

Everything around them was nearly destroyed by the two, creating a terrifying scene.

"So it's the classic battle between the Hulk and the Abomination!"

Zhou Cheng realized and then started excitedly watching this spectacular fight.

Caught up in the excitement, he even subconsciously recorded some thoughts in the diary.

...

[Amazing, it's just like watching a live broadcast, a thousand times more exciting than the movies.]

[Hulk vs Abomination, arguably one of Marvel's most classic one-on-one battles, truly insatiable!]

[There are many exciting one-on-one duels in Marvel, but the battle between Hulk and Abomination is definitely among the top.]

[It's a battle between monsters, following a beastly style of brute force.]

[Symbolizing strength and primal ferocity, it's all about the adrenaline.]

[I'm not sure about other people's rankings, but this can easily make it into my top ten!]

[As for the number one spot, I believe it undoubtedly goes to Doctor Strange's solo confrontation against the dimensional demon Dormammu.]

"Indeed, that monster is the Abomination!"

Inside the luxurious villa.

Tony Stark immediately had a thought.

Ever since the diary spoiled the battle between the Hulk and the Abomination, Iron Man had Jarvis monitor related dynamics.

Iron Man had actually "watched" this battle when it happened between the Hulk and the Abomination.

Although the diary didn't provide much description about the Abomination, Tony Stark made such a guess.

After all, besides that green monster similar to the Hulk, it's hard to find anyone else who could battle the Hulk.

At least that seemed to be the case for now.

And at this moment.

Tony Stark's guess was confirmed.

That monster, undoubtedly derived from the same "technology" as the Hulk, was indeed the Abomination.

"That Ross guy, how many monsters does he plan to create before he's satisfied?"

Tony Stark couldn't help but voice his complaint.

The Abomination, following the same path as the Hulk, was obviously a creation of General Ross!

But what Iron Man didn't know was that this time, he had misunderstood General Ross.

The Abomination was not Ross's creation, but a private action by Blonsky.

However, this matter was irrelevant to Tony Stark, who quickly refocused his attention on the diary.

In Zhou Cheng's eyes, such an incredibly exciting duel only made it into the top ten.

Iron Man grew curious about what battles ranked higher than the one between Hulk and Abomination.

"Dimensional demon?"

Soon, Tony Stark's gaze fell on the spoiler about Doctor Strange, and he was thoroughly stimulated.

A dimensional demon?
