HYDRA is very good at infiltration and subversion, and there are many reasons for this.
Mature compartmentalized management techniques, an operational policy of always keeping an ace up their sleeve, and a history of exceptional operations where they strike only when they are sure to succeed, and when they do, it's stunning.
Most importantly, there is their masterful brainwashing technique, which uses psychological suggestion to make the brainwashed react violently to a series of words, turning them into people who only know how to obey orders.
Some of the sleeper Agents planted among them might show no abnormalities in daily life; they might not even know they have been brainwashed themselves.
Through the virtual reality, Harry could actually use his psychic abilities to see the incompleteness in these people's consciousness, but there are only two ways to eliminate this suggestion.
One is to know the keywords used to plant the psychological suggestion and disrupt the impact of these words on the brainwashed in the virtual reality.
Another is to deal with them one by one using the Mind Stone directly.
Obviously, it is impossible for Harry to find these soldiers and help them recover one by one, but they are still somewhat useful.
Harry deliberately had some of these HYDRA members put on gp armor, and now they have rushed in front of Whitehall.
Ward and the others received the order to open their faceplates; now it was time to talk.
"Dr. Whitehall, I didn't expect us to meet like this." Ward acted very naturally.
"Who are you?" Whitehall certainly didn't know a small fry like Ward.
The submarine was right behind him, just a step away, but he knew that if he made any sudden moves, he would be killed on the spot immediately.
Ward shrugged and introduced himself: "I used to work under The Clairvoyant Garrett, so it's normal that you don't know an Agent of my level.
However, I believe you should understand that I am no longer with HYDRA, and neither are these poor guys here—though some of these poor guys seem to have been dragged out of the Fridge prison."
Hearing this, Whitehall narrowed his eyes.
He seemed to still have a chance.
"So that guy Osborn put a 'mobile prison' on you? Interesting, it does look quite secure.
But are you really no longer with HYDRA?"
Ward was stunned when he heard this, thinking of something.
Whitehall continued: "Deep breath, surrender, and you will find your meaning; surrender, and you will be liberated."
When he said this, several people suddenly frowned.
Ward noticed that they seemed to be influenced by something, their expressions becoming confused.
Ward was shocked: he knew about HYDRA's brainwashing methods.
But what was the use of brainwashing? If these soldiers made even the slightest unusual move, the armor on their bodies would cause them to drop dead.
At this moment, Ward looked at the submarine behind Whitehall--
Whitehall only needed to make a few soldiers hesitate, and he could jump in during the chaos, but what about him?
Would that A let him drop dead inside the armor?
Thinking of this, Ward was about to pull the trigger immediately, but the HYDRA member beside him had already had their brainwashing program activated!
"Take out the people around you!"
As Whitehall gave the order, the HYDRA member beside him lunged at Ward, and the scene quickly descended into chaos.
The soldiers wearing gp Power armor were incredibly strong; they smashed huge holes into the walls made of steel and concrete.
"Damn! A, I haven't been brainwashed, do you hear me?" Ward was pinned to the wall and hurriedly explained to A.
However, A ignored him completely. Seeing this, Whitehall jumped onto the submarine and gave Ward a wicked smile.
Ward was confused now. According to Osborn, the moment the brainwashing program started, this armor should have detected the anomaly and killed them inside!
The submarine was about to start; Ward didn't care what the situation was anymore. Perhaps HYDRA had used some kind of jamming device—but if Whitehall escaped, he would die no matter what!
However, the person fighting him didn't consider any of this at all, only wanting to hold back Ward and the others who hadn't been brainwashed.
Bang!
Suddenly, the surrounding walls were violently smashed open—and this was an underground Base capable of withstanding a nuclear attack!
Those who broke in were the enhanced Spartan Warriors!
After Frank smashed through the wall, he kicked a Rifleman blocking his path into the wall, then brought the muzzle of his Gauss rifle into intimate contact with the face of the brainwashed Rifleman.
With a few gunshots, the person inside the armor became a headless corpse.
The gp armor could give an ordinary person several tons of arm strength and allow them to fall from a height of 20 feet without any impact, weighing over 500 pounds, yet they were easily suppressed by Frank and the others at close range; this scene stunned Whitehall inside the submarine.
You have to know that after putting on the gp armor, these soldiers were all over 2.5 meters tall, while Frank and the others were just over 2 meters. Plus, the gp armor was very bulky, making the scene visually look like Captain America knocking away Hulk.
How is this possible?
In reality, the battle between Frank and his team and these Riflemen was more like Hulk knocking over a tank with one punch.
Frank punched and shattered a Rifleman's helmet faceplate, then raised his Gauss rifle and fired behind him without looking, the spike armor-piercing rounds easily penetrating the Rifleman's visor.
Ward watched the whole thing from the side. These massive gp Power armors seemed like toys in front of the Spartan Warriors; they were faster, more agile, efficient, and cruel.
When these Spartans easily finished off the last HYDRA member, Frank glanced at Ward.
Ward was terrified that this group of killing gods would finish him off without a word—the Spartan Warriors were clean and efficient, with almost no trace of hesitation.
Seeing these Riflemen, who a second ago had beaten them HYDRA members to a pulp, being wiped out like cutting melons and vegetables, Whitehall finally snapped back to reality.
"Why hasn't it started yet! Start it, quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Frank looked at the submarine on the shore and kicked the tail of the submarine onto the shore with a flying kick. The propeller made intimate contact with the reinforced concrete, kicking up some debris before it stopped working.
The violent impact made Whitehall inside the cabin lose his footing, and his head slammed hard against the console.
"Submarine self-destruct sequence initiated, self-destruction in 60 seconds."
This bump directly triggered the self-destruct sequence. Whitehall tremblingly picked up his glasses from the floor and leaned against the console, laughing.
Another Super Soldier! Last time it was Captain America, and this time it was even worse; that guy kicked the submarine askew with one flying kick.
Self-destructing is fine; it saves him from having to endure various interrogations.
He still remembered the decades he was locked in prison—that feeling of being forgotten was still fresh in his memory.
The sound inside the submarine was also heard by Frank.
"Billy, it's time for you to give a suggestion on how to defuse the bomb." Frank opened the scanning program; now he needed the AI's support.
"Scan complete, data transferring. Suggest cutting the submarine in half and throwing the rear part into the Water."
"Received."
Then, Ward only saw two Spartans firing at the submarine in unison, then one grabbed the tail of the submarine, and one grabbed the head, and along the bullet marks left on the submarine, they tore the whole submarine in half.
Frank carried the tail of the submarine containing the energy room to the shore, a cloud of thick steam puffing out from the heat exhaust vents of his individual armor.
Throwing this piece of junk into the Water, Frank clapped his hands.
"Mission accomplished, boss. However, I feel like the equipment on me isn't working quite right." Frank reported to Harry while using gestures to direct the Spartans to clean up the scene.
He happened to walk past Ward when he said this, and this sentence made Ward swallow hard.
What does "not working quite right" mean?
This isn't good enough?
