Chapter 217 - Research Base

Eastern Europe, Sokovia, the Hydra branch belonging to Strucker.

Among the continuous mountain ranges was a gray-white building. This building was the Hydra's research base in Sokovia.

After Strucker took over the Hydra branch here, he turned it into his own backyard, gradually expanding his power.

The current Hydra Sokovia branch was the most well-equipped and heavily guarded of the remaining Hydra bases on Earth.

Inside the research base at this time, rows of computers and research equipment were neatly arranged.

Researchers were engrossed in their work in front of the computers and research equipment.

The purpose of this base's full operation was to analyze the Scepter, emitting a pale blue light, placed in the center of the instrument.

After this period of research, they could already make initial use of the Scepter's energy.

Therefore, they also used energy modification to design many new Laser Energy Weapons. These weapons were not only powerful but also performed better than traditional weapons in all aspects.

While the staff were busy with their research, a man with a buzz cut and a monocle walked in.

Seeing the man enter, a stern-looking middle-aged researcher put down his research and walked over to him.

"Mr. Strucker," the middle-aged researcher greeted him.

Strucker nodded and asked, "How are the weapons and equipment coming along?"

The middle-aged researcher replied, "All the combat personnel have been equipped with the latest weapons. The large tanks and armored vehicles are also being manufactured."

Strucker nodded and said, "Excellent. Speed up the production of the large weapons; there's no such thing as too many."

The middle-aged researcher nodded in agreement.

Next, Strucker made another round of inspections, then asked the middle-aged researcher beside him, "By the way, how are the Twins doing?"

Upon hearing Strucker's question, the middle-aged researcher gathered his thoughts and replied, "Their condition stabilized a week ago."

"After observing them this week, we haven't found any unusual circumstances or side effects. This modification was very smooth, and their Abilities are also getting stronger."

Hearing the middle-aged researcher's report, Strucker instructed him, "Take me to see them."

Because Strucker had been busy receiving the scattered Hydra forces around the world these past few days, he hadn't checked on the latest research progress in a timely manner.

Afterward, the two of them left the research area. After passing through several secret passages and several security doors, they arrived at another laboratory.

The previous research area was where they studied weapons and equipment, while this research area was where they conducted human experiments using the Scepter.

After they transported Loki's Scepter to Sokovia, they had been conducting experiments with the Scepter without interruption.

The most important place was where the human experiments were conducted.

There were fifteen Test Subjects here, all of them Powered Individuals taken from the Monster.

Most of these Powered Individuals were B-Rank, with only a small number being C-Rank.

The reason for this composition was that A-Rank Powered Individuals were too precious to waste on experiments. And C-Rank Powered Individuals' Abilities were too weak, making them too low in strength as Test Subjects.

Moreover, even if the experiments on C-Rank Powered Individuals were successful, the results wouldn't be particularly significant. Therefore, using B-Rank Powered Individuals for Scepter experiments was the most cost-effective method.

Although the Monster also wanted to conduct human experiments directly on its own turf, this was, after all, a project in cooperation with Strucker. Thus, the human experiments were placed in Sokovia along with the weapons development.

However, although the experiments took place in Sokovia, the Monster also sent some researchers and security personnel here, partly to assist with the research and partly to place a few spies here.

After passing through the access control, Strucker and the researchers around him walked into the innermost laboratory.

This laboratory was also built underground. It was made entirely of gray stone, but it was much cleaner and tidier than the weapons development laboratory outside.

Strucker looked at the two places in the back where the successful test subjects were housed, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

Although thirteen of the fifteen test subjects died during the experiment, leaving only two successful results, he was still very satisfied.

Because the performance and potential of these two successful test subjects completely exceeded his initial expectations.

Through two floor-to-ceiling, two-way mirrors, Strucker could see the two lucky ones inside, Pietro Django Maximoff and his sister, Wanda Django Maximoff.

At this moment, Pietro was running quickly on a treadmill in the laboratory. Because his speed was so fast and the frequency of his legs moving was too high, he appeared to be standing still on the treadmill to the naked eye.

With a crackling sound, the treadmill under Pietro's feet broke down again, ending its short life with a puff of smoke.

In the room next door, Wanda's hands were flashing with red light, lifting several blocks of different materials from the ground.

As she crossed her hands, the various material blocks floating in the air were simultaneously crushed by an invisible force, turning into colorful fragments that clattered to the ground.

These two lucky individuals were siblings, or rather, Twins. They were originally orphans, and after living together for a few years, they were chosen by Monster to become potential Powered Individuals.

Then, after successfully awakening their Abilities, they were sent to Sokovia for the Loki Scepter human experiments.

After a year of experiments and adjustments, they were very fortunate to survive the experiment, becoming the only two successes among the fifteen Test Subjects.

Their original Ability ranks were both B-Rank. The elder brother, Pietro, possessed physical qualities and speed far exceeding ordinary people. His younger sister, Wanda, possessed the Ability to manipulate objects with her mind.

However, after the Loki Scepter experiment, both of their Ability ranks broke through from B-Rank to A-Rank, and they still had the potential to grow.

Pietro's physical qualities became stronger, and his speed became faster, while Wanda's Ability to manipulate objects also underwent unknown mutations and improvements. Not only did its intensity become stronger, but the range of objects it could affect was also wider, and she could even perform mental control and telepathy.
