Hydra Spy

Chapter 13 Highway and Genius

The distance between Seattle and New York is about 2850 miles (4600 kilometers). If you fly by plane, it only takes 6 to 7 hours.

If driving, it will take about 42 hours, not including any breaks.

The best option is of course to fly to New York, saving time and energy.

But Ward couldn't do that.

In the plan, 'he' should stay in Seattle for two days before heading to the next city.

Although as an agent, Ward has many other identities, but these are all handled by S.H.I.E.L.D. and will be monitored if he moves, so they must not be used.

If he pretends to be another identity, he can't pass the surveillance and scanner at the airport.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have asked Skye to rent a car in Seattle with several other identities, and I drove back to New York..."

Of course, this is just a thought. Ward had actually anticipated his current step, but he still didn't choose to let Skye do this.

The reason is simple, he doesn't want to be discovered by Skye, or rather, not be discovered so quickly.

For this reason, Ward specially created 9 identities to confuse Skye.

Except for the identity of himself and one of the robbers, the identities of the remaining seven people are real.

The source of these identities is very simple, 2 of them are from the university he went to in New York, and the other 5 identities are that he saw on the road, and then specially selected a few people who should not travel often, and secretly took photos , Write out the itinerary of these people, and then hide them in two black bags for Skye to get.

Ward also knew that even if he had done so much, Skye would definitely find out who he really was.

But it's okay.

As long as Skye doesn't find herself before the plan is completed, then her father and mother, who is the leader of the Inhuman Race, will definitely make her have no energy to manage herself.

That's a complex story about a race that's much more interesting than him as a little agent!
Ward thought to himself mockingly, walking on the road alone, looking around at the cars parked on the side of the road, it is better to decide to get a car and drive to New York directly.

This is the safest way. In addition, the way Ward can think of is to hide in the cargo of the plane and send himself to New York as a cargo.

But this method has many disadvantages. First, it is easy to be exposed. Second, hiding in the cargo is not controlled by yourself. If you die in the cargo due to insufficient oxygen, it will be too embarrassing...

Afterwards, when SHIELD found out that their agent was so aggrieved to death, they didn't know what expression they would have...

Thinking of this possibility, Ward's walking speed unconsciously became much faster.

He did not choose to rent a car, the procedures were too troublesome, and it was not easy to handle after driving to New York.

In contrast, going to the second-hand market to buy a second-hand car is the best choice.

Even though it is possible to encounter the situation of second-hand cars lying in the nest, relatively speaking, this situation is relatively rare in the United States.

Moreover, Ward had learned how to repair a car for a year in his previous life, as long as he bought a second-hand car and tried it out, and then brought some repair tools, he could avoid this situation.

When I came to the second-hand car market, it was close to 8 o'clock in the evening, and it was almost closed. Ward hurried into it, and after finding the boss's requirements, he was recommended several cars soon.

There were off-roaders, there were convertibles, there were minivans, and there were ugly old sedans.

After trying everything, Ward bought one of the small RVs for $4000, brought maintenance tools, and set off on the road.

There were no beautiful women, robbers, or car accidents in American road movies on the road, and even the second-hand small car had no problems, and we arrived in New York smoothly all the way.

It just took 14 hours longer than Ward expected, for a total of 56 hours, a little over two days.

No way, although his body is strong and his energy is good, the 2850 miles across the west and east of the United States is still too long. For the sake of safety, he took two breaks halfway to replenish his energy.

The advantage of this is that Ward didn't feel very tired after arriving in New York, and he didn't need to sleep as soon as he got here.

After hiding the small RV in an unobtrusive location, Ward made his way to the mansion where the Fantastic Four lived.

At first, after seeing the name of Mister Fantastic Reed Richards in the Fantastic Four on the news, Ward still had doubts about the world he traveled through.

He didn't know whether this was the Marvel Cinematic Universe or which one of the Marvel Comic Universe.

There are no Fantastic Four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but there are. There are no mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and there are also here, and like the Inhumans, they are all problematic races with superpowers and recorded by S.H.I.E.L.D.

This situation is completely outside the scope of Ward's familiarity.

Later, as time went by, Ward stopped worrying about this kind of problem, because no matter which universe it is, it is very dangerous, and all he has to think about is how to survive!
The building where the Fantastic Four are located is called the Baxter Building, which is a very common building in the high-rise Manhattan area. It has neither a dazzling height nor a resounding reputation.

The only one that is a bit famous is that Reed Richards, who was hailed as the first genius in the United States a few years ago, and his team lived in this building, and from time to time they would attract interviews from some small news media and so on.

Reed Richards did not own the entire building, he just rented the top 6 floors as his laboratory.

As for why Reed Richards was the number one talent years ago?Is he not now?

The answer is, it really isn't.

Ward has seen related reports in the news and knows the reason for this incident.

Mr. Fantastic is indeed very smart. He has been called a child prodigy since he was a child. He has graduated from several famous universities such as Caltech, Harvard University, and Columbia University. He also has a doctorate in engineering, mathematics, and physics. Many inventions are veritable super geniuses.

But when Mr. Fantastic set up his own family and rented a place to start a company, he seemed to have stepped on dog shit luck. The new invention either didn't work well or didn't work at all, and it was a waste of money.

Slowly, Mister Fantastic saved less and less savings, and his reputation was gradually surpassed by his opponent Doctor Doom, the prodigal genius Tony Stark and other scientists, and his reputation gradually declined.

But Ward knew that soon Mister Fantastic would regain attention as a superhero, relying on the cosmic currents he discovered while looking up at the stars.

And for him, this is also an opportunity to acquire superpowers and strengthen himself!

During this period of time, Ward has been paying attention to related news, knowing that Dr. Doom has begun to provide funds and equipment to Mister Fantastic, and has put the research on cosmic airflow on the agenda.

Without further hesitation, Ward sneaked into the building, preparing to get detailed information about the Fantastic Four's plan to study cosmic airflow.
