"Dr. Oaks Lin, I didn't expect you to appear here."

Zola recognized Oaks, but was suddenly silent.

"And unplugged my network cable."

After a while, Zora's machine voice seemed to be a little exasperated:

"How did you find this place! Even the head of the European branch here doesn't know..."

"Of course you told me yourself."

Oaks folded his arms and looked at Zola's green face:

"Aren't you wondering why I'm not surprised to see you at all?

Your backup in New Jersey, tell me the last one you're here.

Then he was bombed to rubble by Pierce's missile along with the SHIELD founding site that you miss. "

"..."

The tape of the database twirled frantically, and Zora spoke again after a while:

"Pearce decided to sacrifice my backup, which means he doesn't need that backup anymore."

There was no sadness in Zola's voice:

"So soon, Hydra will conquer the world—

Or, did you survive? "

"Wrong, if you mean the Insight Program,"

Oaks walked slowly, and Zola's camera was staring at him:

"Then Insight has failed, and S.H.I.E.L.D., along with the Hydra in it, was destroyed by your old nemesis, Captain America, Steve Rogers."

He smiled and looked at Zola's camera, which was his eyes, so to speak:

"Pierce was killed by Nick Fury himself, and all encrypted material was posted on the Internet—

Ah, what a pity you've been disconnected. "

"Hmph... if one head is cut off, two will grow..."

"Dr. Daniel Whitehall, or Reinhardt, was killed by me."

Oaks watched with satisfaction as Zola's database tape twirled frantically again:

"Besides, I just got something from Baron Strucker, and I'm going to wait and find him to settle the account."

"If you think that you can completely eliminate the Hydra, then you are very wrong!"

Zola's tone was flat, but Oaks said a name next, making him silent again.

"Gideon Malik."

Oaks sneered:

"I also know something about this old-fashioned veteran.

But I seem to have heard that the reformists of your Red Skull faction have always scoffed at his plan to bring back the 'Hydra God'? "

"You even know this..."

Zola finally couldn't stand it anymore:

"Druid! Although the last time I synced data was three months ago, the data encrypted with my algorithm can't be cracked so quickly!"

"Who knows..."

Oaks laughed:

"You can do the math, how did I know—

But your computing power is probably not enough. "

"...What are you here for?"

Zola didn’t take Oaks’ ridicule, since Oaks pulled out his network cable, which means he couldn’t get information from the outside world.

Now only Oaks says what he listens to, and then judges the credibility through his own mental operations.

Based on the information that Oaks said, Zola quickly calculated that the current situation of Hydra should be very bad, even if the hardware was a little stretched.

"As you said, your wisdom is worth preserving..."

Oaks took out a small box with several ports, about the size of a bp machine:

"I'm going to blow up this place later, so I found a house for you in advance."

"Why do you think that I will serve you!"

Zola was not angry, but asked directly:

"And why you? According to your behavior pattern, I wouldn't be surprised if you study the human brain!"

"With your wisdom, Dr. Zola, can't you imagine..."

Oaks spread his hands exaggeratedly:

"Your current life form is very strange... and I am very interested in all forms of life.

If you only limit the concept of 'life' to carbon-based creatures, then I will be disappointed in you. "

"...It turns out that this is a reasonable explanation."

Zola quickly came to this conclusion:

"But I can't serve you, you are the enemy of Hydra!"

"Okay then, let's become ruins with this place."

Oaks touched his chin but didn't force it, he turned around and left.

One step, two steps, three steps...

When Oaks' foot was about to step out of the room door, Zola's cry came from behind:

"Okay! I believe you are going to blow up this place... take me away!"

"It's too early?"

Oaks snorted, turned back, clicked on the small box, and plugged the pop-up usb port into the front port of Zola's old computer:

"I told you about the backup when I was in New Jersey. Now that the hardware is so developed, Hydra actually put you in this old database...

That is, you are this life form now, otherwise it is really hard to imagine that you will not be angry. "

"Different life forms have different ways of thinking about problems. This kind of thing is out of my usual range of consideration."

A green progress bar appeared on Zola's screen:

"Starting to download, downloading..."

The progress bar seemed to be moving quite fast, and it didn't take long for the transmission of consciousness to be completed.

"Huh? Why doesn't your box have an input and output device?!"

Zola cried out:

"You're putting me in jail!"

"Yes, it's just external..."

Oaks took out a small display with a camera, microphone and speakers, and plugged the small black box that was unplugged:

"Isn't it there?"

The monitor shows a high-definition image of Zola:

"You... I don't believe you made the audio and video equipment detachable for easy replacement!"

"of course not."

Oaks waved his hand and threw a dense mass of astral energy on the Zora host in front of him, which was blown to pieces with a scream.

"boom--"

Starlight condensed around Oaks, and then smashed into the surrounding database components like stars fell.

"It's for your convenience at any time."

The fire burst, and Zola in Oaks' hands "watched" his "corpse" exploded, and fell silent.

"Is there a self-destruct device here?"

Oakes thoughtfully pointed Zola's camera out, blasting a few more rooms.

"...Yes, I'll take you there."

I don’t know if it’s Oaks, a small black box specially created by Banner, that has good computing power. Zora’s voice seems to be more emotional:

"What are you going to ask me to study for you?"

"For me? No no no..."

Oaks looked at the map displayed on the screen, nodded with satisfaction, and walked in the indicated direction:

"I want you to benefit all mankind...do the opposite of Hydra~lightnovelpub.net~ You are insulting my personality!"

Zola was outraged, and asking him to do this kind of thing made him more uncomfortable than killing him!

"You're not human anymore, do you still have a personality?"

Five minutes later, the former Siberian branch of Hydra was completely history.

The portal was closed, and in the Natural Guardian laboratory, Oaks put the small black box with the monitor unplugged in a safe double-isolated by the electromagnetic barrier and the magic barrier:

"Let's be locked up for a while, after all, he has no human rights anymore."
