After Chen Mo pressed the button on the pager, in another office not far away, the old pager on the desk that had been silent for many years suddenly rang.
Sitting in front of the desk was a tall, blonde middle-aged man. His temperament was calm and elegant, and his aura was extraordinary. His pair of deep blue eyes were full of indifference as if he had seen through the world. He gave people the feeling that he was a wise old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
However, as the beeper on the table rang, his eyes, which had been as calm as an ancient well, suddenly began to fluctuate violently. He became extremely agitated, no longer as calm as before.
The middle-aged man stood up from the chair and couldn't help but have a look of reminiscence on his face.
"It's been seventy years, you're finally back?"
…
Not long after Chen Mo pressed the pager, a familiar but slightly hurried sound of footsteps sounded not far away.
The footsteps stopped outside the door. Chen Mo could feel the rapid heartbeat and heavy breathing outside the door.
After two seconds, the office door was slowly pushed open, and the middle-aged man from before walked in nervously.
When Chen Mo saw the familiar figure of the middle-aged man, he couldn't help but smile.
"Eddie, long time no see."
Abbott looked at Chen Mo, who was sitting behind his desk. His originally nervous and excited mood suddenly calmed down.
"Master, you're back."
Abbott bowed slightly toward Chen Mo with a benevolent expression on his face.
"Do you need me to make you a cup of coffee?"
Chen Mo couldn't help but think of the familiar smell of coffee. A hint of mellow fragrance seemed to linger at the tip of his nose.
"Of course."
Chen Mo nodded happily.
Since he was back, there was no need to rush. He hadn't drunk old Eddie's coffee for many years, and he really missed it.
Soon, Abbott returned to Chen Mo's desk with a cup of brewed coffee. Chen Mo noticed that on the tray was the set of exquisite sterling silver coffeepot and matching coffee cups and saucers that he had been using.
Chen Mo looked up at "old" Eddie, who was pouring coffee into a cup with a serious expression, and he couldn't help but smile.
This set of coffee pots was the one they used when they were in Liverpool.
After Chen Mo left, Albert still carefully took care of it. Later, whether he went to the martial arts center in New York or the Hydra base in Norway, Albert always brought them with him to ensure that Chen Mo could drink the fragrant coffee he made himself at any time.
The dark brown coffee poured out from the slender mouth of the pot and into the exquisite sterling silver coffee cup with billowing hot steam. A strong coffee aroma wafted out.
Chen Mo picked up the coffee cup and leaned back comfortably in his chair. He raised the cup to his mouth and took a sip. The familiar taste bloomed on Chen Mo's tongue again.
Chen Mo sipped his coffee as he learned about the current situation of this world from Abbott.
It had been seventy years since Chen Mo last left.
Ever since Chen Mo left, the entire Hydra was managed by Albert, with Dr. Zola and Colonel Johan assisting him.
The Hydra's absolute loyalty and devout belief to Chen Mo made the process of Albert's ascension to power extremely smooth. No one jumped out to seize power.
All the hidden dangers and unstable elements had been eliminated by Chen Mo long ago. He left Albert with an extremely powerful, loyal, and united huge organization.
Following Chen Mo's orders, they had been deeply hidden in the dark. No one knew of their existence, but their forces were spread all over the world.
Norway, where the top-secret base was located, was completely controlled by the Hydra in the dark. The entire Norway could be said to be their headquarters.
In addition, the Hydra's tentacles had also reached the upper echelons of various countries. They had people in almost every country's political leaders, especially in European countries.
Other than Norway, which was completely controlled from top to bottom, the Hydra's infiltration into many countries had reached a level where they could influence national politics.
Who would have thought that the Hydra, which was hidden in the dark and unknown, had the terrifying ability to influence the entire Earth?
In addition to the powerful technological power they had, if the Hydra was still in the hands of ambitious people like Red Skull Schmidt, it would be a huge disaster for the entire world. This was because with the terrifying power of the Hydra, it would not be difficult to rule the world.
Fortunately, the Hydra had always been under Chen Mo's control, and his dream was world peace!
In fact, in the past seventy years, the Hydra's technological development had not been fast. Dr. Zola's research seemed to have reached a bottleneck. Other than energy weapons, the gap between the Hydra's overall technological strength and that of other countries had not widened. Instead, it had been shrinking in the past seventy years. Even so, the Hydra still maintained a twenty-year technological lead over other countries.
The specific situation required Dr. Zola to explain it personally, but he was not here at the moment.
Before leaving, Chen Mo had injected the improved super soldier serum into Old Albert. Under the enhancement of the serum, not only did Albert's appearance return to that of a forty-year-old, but he also gained three times the physical fitness of a normal person. His lifespan was also greatly increased.
However, this was not eternal life. His body would still age slowly, but it would be several times slower than a normal person's.
Now, seventy years had passed, but his appearance had not changed much. He still looked less than fifty years old.
It turned out that other than Albert, Dr. Zola and Colonel Johann had also been enhanced by the serum. When Chen Mo had given him the super soldier serum, he had also told him about the effect of the enhancement. It could stop the consumption of lifespan through freezing. Therefore, Albert and the other two had taken turns freezing, leaving only one person outside to manage the Hydra. They would rotate every twenty years.
Twenty years was not too long for them, whose lifespan had been greatly increased after the enhancement of the serum.
Albert remembered that Chen Mo had said that he would return in seventy years, so he chose to be the first to stay outside. This way, the next time it was his turn, it would be the time Chen Mo said he would return. He would personally welcome Chen Mo's return.
Ever since he had been unfrozen ten years ago, he had been waiting for this day to come.
Today, he had finally waited for it.
Back then, Chen Mo had not only given Albert a few enhancement serums, but he had also given him the formula of the improved serum. The first batch of Hydra members had been extremely loyal to Chen Mo. Chen Mo did not plan to let them grow old with the passage of time.
According to Chen Mo's instructions, after the development of the Hydra had stabilized, Albert would gradually enhance the serum and freeze them. Now, this powerful super soldier army was sleeping in the freezing chamber below the top-secret base, waiting for their leader to wake them up.
At that time, they would pick up their weapons again and fight for the God they believed in!
Chen Mo had given them a new name, Winter Soldiers.
However, Chen Mo had no intention of waking them up this time. The reason why they were enhanced and frozen was not only because he did not want these loyal subordinates to die in vain, but also because Chen Mo wanted to make preparations in advance to deal with the powerful alien forces that might invade Earth in the future.
Not only the first batch of Hydra members, although Chen Mo had left, he had always been the spiritual symbol and belief of the Hydra. As long as the Hydra soldiers recruited later passed the test and inspection and were loyal enough to Chen Mo and the Hydra, they would be enhanced and frozen at the right time to become a member of the Winter Soldiers.
Hydra has its own set of perfect selection, training, and inspection testing mechanisms, which is enough to ensure the loyalty of every Hydra member, and the selection of the Winter Soldiers is even stricter, so there is no problem with their loyalty.
Chen Mo was very satisfied with the development of Hydra. As for the development of science and technology, Chen Mo had expected it. If it was so simple to get powerful technology just by spending time on research, then everything would be too simple.
He can stay in the world of Legend of the Night for hundreds of thousands of years. Anyway, he has infinite life, but it is estimated that in the end, he will only get some advanced ordinary technology. The powerful technology in those movies is not so simple to study.
Many technologies are unique to a movie world, such as the super soldier serum, the Space Portal, Transformers, Gundam, and other black technologies, which are by no means something that can be studied with time. This is also the meaning of Chen Mo's constant travel from one world to another, to obtain the top technology and treasures of each world to strengthen himself and improve his strength.
And his primary goal for this time is the Iron Man Armor!
"How is S.H.E.L.D. developing now?"
Chen Mo continued to ask after taking a sip of coffee.
"They are now called the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Security Bureau, which is supervised by the International Security Council and is responsible for dealing with all kinds of strange events internationally. The current director is Nick Fury."
Hydra's infiltration of S.H.E.L.D. is beyond anyone's imagination, and Albert knows the situation of S.H.E.L.D. like the back of his hand.
"S.H.E.L.D. is secretly led by Colonel Phillips, Agent Carter, Steve, Howard, and Dr. Erskine. They have faked their deaths in the decades after you left, and now most of them are in frozen dormancy. The one in charge of S.H.E.L.D. is Howard."
Chen Mo couldn't help but smile when he heard this. It is hard to imagine how an unreliable guy like Howard manages S.H.E.L.D..
"What is Howard's son doing now?"
Chen Mo asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Tony Stark, a weapons genius, a playboy, Howard faked his death when he became an adult, and he inherited Stark Industries and continued to develop it."
"Now …"
Albert paused for a moment, took out a smartphone from his trouser pocket, quickly operated it, and looked up at Chen Mo.
