“Where the hell is that damn HYDRA base?” I cursed as I created a portal for the umpteenth time and found no reaction from the bloodline radar upon arrival.
I had already been searching all over Russia for the previous 6 hours without any reaction from the bloodline radar.
While the bloodline radar had a very long range of 5 kilometres, this range was nothing when compared to the whole of Russia. I was only searching through the suspicious areas but even they were quite big considering Russia’s mountainous terrain which provided a lot of space to hide.
Moreover I had to search the areas specifically to ensure that I didn't miss the base just because it was right outside the bloodline radar’s range. This was a very time consuming task but someone had to do it.
“Phew! This area is finally completed. It was one big area though.” I said with a sigh as I completed scanning through a fucking mountain range.
“Time for the next area.” I said as I created a portal like I had done hundreds of times before.
Ping!
“Huh!!” This was my reaction when the bloodline radar finally responded. After all, I had long become numb To the silence of the radar.
“I finally found it!” I said, my voice dripping with sheer joy as it finally settled within me that I had found the HYDRA clone base. Fortunately, I only had to scan a quarter of the designated area before I found the base.
“Now, let's see where the base actually is.”
I first casted an invisibility spell on myself so that I won't be seen from far away and then ran towards the direction the bloodline radar was pointing to.
“So, this is where they are!” I muttered as I looked at a mountain covered in snow. It was at such a desolate place that it would be difficult to find even animals here. No wonder HYDRA established their most important base here.
Looking at the bloodline radar, I could see that it was showing not one but more than ten responses.
Since the base had been found, it was now time for me to perform the next step, scouting.
I slowly moved through the snowy land with careful steps as I closed the distance with the mountain, trying to not leave obvious footprints if possible.
Once I reached the mountain, I started circling around it, trying to find the entrance to the base.
It was at this moment that the bloodline radar showed an unusual reaction. Its pointer moved, meaning that someone with Mr. Logan's bloodline was nearby. It could only mean that a clone was coming out of the base.
Taking advantage of the opportunity before me, I followed the bloodline radar’s direction and soon found myself in front of an inconspicuous mountain wall.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
But that was not for long as a part of the wall suddenly slid away, revealing a giant door inside which opened soon after.
Out of the door came two masked soldiers with a HYDRA emblem on their vest along with a beautiful girl around my age in a combat suit. For some reason, the girl seeing to exude an aura of wildness.
“Now, bitch! Go and hunt some nearby wolves for your so called training.” One of the masked soldiers ordered the girl in a derogatory tone.
“And don't even think of trying anything funny. Otherwise you know what will happen.” The soldier said as he pointed at a metal collar on the girl's neck which was obviously to keep her in check.
But why would HYDRA take such measures for a mere girl? I couldn't see anything special in her from a glance. Was she perhaps a mutant? However, even if she was, it didn't make sense for HYDRA to just leave her alone to train in the wilderness.
“Grr…” Clink!
To my surprise, the girl growled at the soldiers and unsheathed metal claws from her wrists just like Mr. Logan!
Was she the one who the bloodline radar was pointing at? So far, I was thinking that it was the other masked soldier who was a Wolverine clone.
After all, a Wolverine clone could only be a male since Mr Logan was also a male. However, this girl here had Mr. Logan's claws. Just what was going on here?
Wait a second! Now that I look closely, she looked quite similar to Mr. Logan. Could it be that HYDRA had created a natural child of Mr. Logan while he was in their captivity?
Now that I think about it, it was something obvious for HYDRA to do when they had Mr Logan in their captivity. After all, there was no way for them to be sure that they would be able to actually create clones. In such a case, they would obviously create Mr. Logan's natural child, both for research and to use it as a brainwashed soldier.
“Have you grown some guts again, bitch?” The masked soldier shouted furiously towards the mutant girl and then smashed his rifle’s butt towards her head.
However, to my surprise, the girl didn't resist and willingly let the soldier hit her for some reason.
“Good, good!” The masked soldier laughed at the girl as she fell to the ground because of his attack.
“Never try to resist, bitch! Otherwise you know what will happen to your dear Mom and Dad.” The soldier said derogately as he made a sign of his finger moving through his neck, making a very obvious sign.
It was obvious that the so called Mom and Dad of this girl were not her original parents but people HYDRA had forced to raise the girl so as to make her emotionally attached to them.
“Fine!” The girl said in a furious tone as she stood up and started moving towards the forest.
As the girl started to move, I stealthily took out my camera and captured a few pictures of her.
Now, I had two options before me. First, I could enter the base stealthily alongside the soldiers when returned to the base. This would give me a chance to properly scout the base and find where were the hostage scientists who were forced by HYDRA to work for them.
But this was also a risky option. If I was somehow discovered, HYDRA would likely kill the hostage scientists so as to make sure that their secrets were not released.
The other option was for me to return to report the location of the base. I could then return with a team to capture the base in an entire scoop.
But this plan was also risky as we won't know the layout of the base during the assault, making it difficult for us to extract the hostages.
“Make sure to not kill all the wolves. You still have to go through this training tomorrow.” The masked soldier shouted at the girl to give her a reminder.
The moment I heard his words, I knew what I had to do. It was obviously the second option.
I would return with a team tomorrow. Then, I would enter the base along with the soldiers and find where the hostage scientists were. Once they were secure, we would attack the base to capture it.
Tomorrow was the day this base will be finished and with it will start the end of HYDRA.
As I looked at the back of the girl for a last time, I vowed to save her. She was just an innocent girl who was unfortunately born under the machinations of HYDRA.
