Noon, Sokovia.
A civilian airliner from France landed on time at the capital's airport.
Sokovia's rapid development was no longer a secret.
Although due to various reasons, Sokovian authorities were extremely strict about immigration and household registration, this didn't affect entry for tourism or business inspections.
Or more accurately, tourism had always been one of Sokovia's important economic sources.
Luca didn't plan to turn Sokovia into a reclusive hermit state like Wakanda, so naturally, he wouldn't suppress this industry.
Although the world had been turbulent recently, and many people were terrified that those around them had been replaced...
Life had to go on. While long-distance travel by ordinary people decreased, it hadn't stopped completely.
However, after this airliner landed at the airport...
While other passengers were collecting their luggage and leaving the airport according to guidance...
Three seemingly unrelated travelers quietly disappeared from the rear of the crowd.
Eventually, these three people, who had absolutely no connection according to passenger information, all gathered together and walked towards a secluded corner of the airport.
Here, over a dozen fully armed Sokovian soldiers were already waiting.
However, seeing the three travelers—one tall, one short, one fat—approaching, the Sokovian soldiers showed no surprise.
They didn't even seem very vigilant, merely holding their guns loosely, maintaining basic alertness.
Of course, this wasn't due to lack of combat discipline or negligence.
It was because...
"Stop there. Drop the disguise!"
Among the Sokovian soldiers, the leader was Green Bull, who had been transferred back to the Sokovian army from the Aurantius Group.
At this moment, he pointed expressionlessly at the empty space in front of him, issuing orders to the three slightly dazed "travelers."
After the order was given, the three obediently walked to the spot Green Bull indicated.
Then, the "tall" and "short" travelers' skin rippled and changed, quickly shedding their disguises to reveal two green-skinned Skrulls.
Only the "fat" one's behavior was strange. He took off his fake beard and sunglasses, revealing his pale, chubby face, then stood motionless again, waiting for instructions.
"Heh, there's actually a human spy! Traitors like this should be dragged out and shot!"
Muttering to himself, Green Bull didn't delay the main business.
After confirming the identities of the three, he turned to the only two female members of his group.
"Miss Maximoff, Dr. Raina. Please probe their memories and confirm if the Skrulls' subsequent plans have changed."
"Oh, and check this human spy too. See if he's really in league with the Skrulls."
Wanda and Raina exchanged glances and stepped forward.
Red Chaos Magic and colorless psychic waves unfolded simultaneously. No intelligence or memory of the enemy could escape their detection.
Actually, this wasn't the first time they had done this.
Ever since Luca and the others announced online that they would build a "Scanning Spire" in New York, the Skrulls had started secretly sending spies to infiltrate Sokovia.
Perhaps in their view...
Since Luca and the others had just realized the Skrulls' existence and the hastily developed "Scanning Spire" was planned to be built first in the uninhabited area of New York...
Sokovia must not have much defense.
The ordinary people here would actually aid their infiltration.
Although disrupting material transport certainly couldn't compare to sabotaging the construction site directly, it would still have some effect.
But how could these Skrulls know...
Today's Sokovia had long been planted full of "Psychic Sensors" and "Psychic Beacons" by Luca.
Those seemingly perfectly disguised Skrull spies, whether entering through legal channels or smuggling across the border over mountains...
The moment they stepped into Sokovian territory, they would be locked onto by "Psychic Sensors," and their data uploaded to Hakimi in the core mainframe.
After program verification, in less than a second, a psychic wave released by a "Psychic Beacon" would affect these infiltrators, making them obediently walk to designated locations for investigation.
As for these three unlucky souls, their minds were controlled before the plane even landed.
That was why Green Bull led his team to wait for them at the airport ahead of time to "report for duty."
And the Skrull spies captured earlier were all obediently staying in the Sokovian military base. Under the influence of mind control, they occasionally sent back some false intelligence to other Skrulls.
Soon, Wanda finished probing the memory of one Skrull and gave the answer.
"No problem. In his memory, the superiors still ordered them to lay low individually and cooperate in a unified operation tomorrow."
"Since he arrived late, his task isn't disrupting the power grid like the previous ones, but creating chaos in the downtown area with bombs."
"Wait! Bombs!"
When reading this part of the memory, Wanda's expression changed instantly.
Coincidentally at this moment, Raina, who was probing the human spy's memory, also shouted to everyone in horror.
"Careful! He has a bomb on him! It will explode directly if he deviates from the predetermined route for too long!!!"
While shouting, Raina didn't care if others heard her clearly. Using her psychic ability, she controlled the human spy to run rapidly into the distance.
However, since the primary control authority of the spy belonged to the nearby "Psychic Beacon," while Raina tried to take over his body control with her powers, she seemed to hear the sharp beep beep beep of the bomb.
Fortunately, Green Bull behind her reacted in time.
He pulled Raina behind him, then kicked the chubby spy flying.
As a veteran by Luca's side, Green Bull and his team never lacked enhancements and equipment.
With his kick, the spy, who had already started running away, was launched over ten meters further.
However, the next moment.
BOOM——
The person exploded at close range. Scorching flames spread rapidly.
A shockwave mixed with heat and charred flesh swept towards Green Bull's group instantly.
In the nick of time.
Scarlet energy quickly formed a shield, enveloping everyone.
No matter how the explosion raged, it couldn't shake the energy shield in the slightest.
