章 243: Chapter 243: Traces That Must Be Erased
Coulson and his team ultimately failed to catch up with the annual gathering of the benevolent society because they were busy with various matters.
However, even with Peggy Carter personally intervening, the US government and military were determined to eliminate all the remnants of "S.H.I.E.L.D."
Regardless of whether they were targeting Hydra or not, the legacy of an organization like S.H.I.E.L.D., a world-class organization, made them turn green with envy.
Of course, other countries were also envious.
But since S.H.I.E.L.D's headquarter was in Washington, D.C., close to the seat of power, if the US government and military didn't gobble up this big piece of meat, they would be acting like a charity!
Nevertheless, the influence and connections of Peggy Carter still had an effect, which alleviated the pressure on Coulson, who was attempting to reorganize S.H.I.E.L.D.
With the help of Peggy Carter and Captain America, Coulson managed to acquire a cloaking Quinjet, providing them with security for their operations.
As for Peggy Carter herself, although she was the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., she was now only cooperating with Coulson and his team.
Even her disciple, Melinda May, was not invited to join the reformed Howling Commandos.
The new Howling Commandos were a superhero team.
Both "Black Widow" Natasha Romanoff and "Hawkeye" Clint Barton accepted Peggy Carter's invitation.
The two Avengers, as the former high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, they wanted Hydra to pay for their actions.
Of course, like Captain America, they had not left the Avengers.
The first task of the new Howling Commandos was to retrieve valuable items from S.H.I.E.L.D's storage facilities before the US government could get to them.
Among these items was the first "0-8-4," Obelisk, which Whitehall had always been obsessed with and referred to as the "Diviner."
This thing was currently in Oaks's laboratory. Utilizing Whitehall's research data from all these years, Oaks planned to finish his current tasks and then find time to investigate what this thing was all about.
This unknown extraterrestrial metal had a reaction on non-Inhumans, turning them into stone if they didn't possess Kree genes.
For individuals with Kree genes, it merely caused them to glow, revealing the patterns on its surface.
Oaks had no interest in the patterns on the Obelisk, the map to the "Afterlife."
Whitehall died at his hands, and Skye was with him. Her parents would naturally come to him on their own.
Ultimately, what was inside the Obelisk was the key.
As for the last member of the Howling Commandos, Sergeant "Winter Soldier" Barnes, who was still in hibernation, Oaks had the ability to awaken him at any time but needed to take care of other matters first.
And with a communication coming from Sokovia, Oaks was finally preparing to take action.
"Boss, they've been experimenting with the Mind stone Scepter constantly..."
Hati was giving Oaks his daily report.
"But today, they seem very pleased. The experiment has achieved significant results.
The leader here, a guy named Baron Strucker, used the Mind stone Scepter to create two individuals with superpowers!"
Hati's tone instinctively became cautious.
"They say it's a pair of twins. The guy seems to have incredible speed and agility, and the girl can manipulate objects... like a magician!
The guy is fine, but the girl... I feel she's very dangerous!"
"Hmm, it's just dangerous. Don't worry about those two for now. Have you gathered the information I asked for?"
Oaks held a "Mind stone Scepter" in his hand. It was a replica he created using detailed specifications provided by the deceased Agent Sitwell, and it was so realistic that it could easily be mistaken for the real thing.
He even found a blue gem, infused it with magic, and created blue light effects and energy fluctuations, making it indistinguishable from the genuine article—
To achieve this, Oaks even used some Uru metal and enchanted it with soul magic.
Although it wouldn't last long, it should be enough to give those fools who hadn't figured out the true purpose of the scepter a headache for a while.
"Yes, boss. These are the coordinates for Hydra's Siberian base, and this is the address of the Winter Soldier's trainer in Cleveland..."
Hati sent two sets of coordinates to Oaks, and Oaks raised an eyebrow. Hati was quite capable:
"How did you acquire this information?"
"I swallowed a researcher who seemed to hold a high position!"
Hati sounded proud.
"After vomiting him out, he became obedient to me!"
"...Well done."
Oaks' mouth twitched. Being swallowed by an invisible monster and then spat out would certainly be a blow to the psyche of an ordinary researcher.
"Then keep an eye on that researcher. I'll be there shortly."
"Yes, boss!"
Oaks arranged the affairs on this side and transformed directly into his swift form(white-throated needletail), flying towards Sokovia.
With Hati's real-time tracking, he easily found the Hydra branch in Sokovia.
He had Hati stealthily bring the fake Scepter inside, and in no time, it came out with the real scepter and handed it over to Oaks.
"Boss, the scientists there are studying the sudden changes in the equipment..."
Hati proudly wagged his tail.
"With my intervention, they didn't even realize that the scepter had been switched!"
"Very good!"
Oaks patted Hati's head, satisfied. This little guy is indeed clever and excellent at trickery.
"You stay here; I may need some time...
If there are any 'volunteers' for human experiments during this period, scare them off. If anyone captured by Hydra comes, release them.
In short, don't let them focus their energy on the scepter until I give the signal."
"Understood, boss!"
Oaks stored the scepter and immediately headed to Cleveland.
With Hydra's internal records, Oaks easily found his target—
The colonel officer who trained the Winter Soldier at the Siberian branch.
But he didn't need to go through the trouble Zemo did, forcing him to reveal the control code.
He came just to silently eliminate this guy.
After all, dead people usually keep most secrets.
It didn't take much time for Oaks to arrive at the buried Hydra base in Siberia.
It appeared abandoned, but many internal facilities were still operational.
Oaks took some effort to find the five Winter Soldiers still frozen here, freeing them from the doom of being controlled forever in their sleep.
Afterward, he successfully located one of his targets for this mission.
Mission report, December 16, 1991.
After watching the footage and confirming that he had found the correct item, Oaks let out a sigh and proceeded to destroy this dangerous information completely.
"The last one is in Bucky's memories."
Oaks glanced at the empty base and activated its defense measures.
Then, he took out the Mind stone Scepter.
"Well, let's give it a try!"
