Chapter 242 Execution time! [Thanks for tipping]
The execution time of the Red Hood is getting closer and closer. During this time, Hydra's troops also gathered in New Babylon. They deployed their defenses in strict accordance with the plan set by the Red Skull and built New Babylon into an iron barrel. .
At the same time, on the day of the execution, martial law was implemented throughout New Babylon, and countless Hydra soldiers wearing green military uniforms appeared one after another to control various traffic arteries throughout the city.
And secretly, Tobias also teamed up with a group of local gangs to constantly explore information about other forces across the country, whether it is Dr. Doom or Hulk Banner. This time, the Red Skull does not want to Anyone come to interrupt their own grand performance.
Text messages and information were transmitted to the White House via signal satellites one after another. After Dr. Zola sorted and determined them, they were constantly placed in front of the Red Skull.
This is the most comprehensive mobilization since the establishment of Hydra, except for the Old War. Even in the face of counterattacks by other criminals, the Red Skull has never put on such a big stage. This shows that the Red Skull is This time I am really ready to take action.
A new world that has never been observed, a group of superheroes from another world. For a hero like the Red Skull who has been silent for more than forty years, this is a grand war that is enough for him to abandon everything and face it. No wonder he took this execution so seriously.
On the surface, the battle strategy has been formulated, and the execution venue is set in the New Times Square of New Babylon. Almost all of it is occupied by heavily armed Hydra elites, and no one is allowed to get close.
Each of these Hydra elites can fight one against a hundred. Although their fighting skills and physical fitness are not comparable to those of Captain America, they are definitely strong men who cannot be underestimated.
The instructors of these people are none other than the copycat masters of superheroes who have experienced hundreds of battles and suppressed the Avengers head-on many times.
Although Taskmaster has been baptized by time and is no longer as brave and good at fighting as he once was, his combat experience is an extremely precious treasure. Just like the villain Crossbones he taught, the students he brought out are all It cannot be underestimated.
In addition to powerful close combat skills, the Red Skull also asked its combat readiness laboratory to equip them with many high-tech weapons. High-tech weapons that were previously only available to superheroes and supervillains are now within Hydra. It can be wholesaled in large quantities.
It can be said that with this force alone, except for some beings whose individual strength is not on the same level, Hydra can completely defeat any city on the earth.
And these people are just the first line of defense prepared by the Red Skull!
Rather than saying that they were there to block the heroes who might come to rob the field, it would be better to say that these people were there to maintain order outside the battlefield.
Hydra's elite troops formed a human wall covering the entire Times Square to keep all outsiders out of the venue. Even those who were observing the scene to join in the fun, or those who were ready to reap the benefits, could never get close to the battlefield. Half step.
Red Skull's move completely cut off the idea of those mercenaries trying to fish in troubled waters. At the same time, he also knew that this group of people could not stop the Hulk Gang members and mutants who had sneaked in.
However, he can use these soldiers to screen out those who can really rush in and pose a threat to this execution.
The significance of these people's actions is to form a huge network, invite you to enter the urn, control all the people who rush in, and then eliminate them all.
After entering the execution site, there is still about a kilometer away from the actual execution location, which is Red Hood's execution platform. Within this huge range, the second line of defense prepared by the Red Skull was carefully selected by him. A few trump cards.
After Bullseye and the Winter Soldier, two master assassins, died and betrayed each other, these men were the strongest men left in the hands of the Red Skull.
In order to ensure that the aerial battlefield is not breached by the enemy, the Red Skull also mobilized countless armed helicopters, as well as drones and surface-to-air anti-aircraft guns. All these things are controlled by the artificial intelligence Dr. Zola.
After being isolated from the existence of 'humanity', Dr. Zola completely became a mindless intelligent machine, which also increased his danger several times. Now Dr. Zola has become a member of the Hydra network As the mastermind, he can observe all layouts of the entire battlefield in real time and make tactical changes at any time.
Finally, on the execution platform, the Red Skull placed this extremely important position on himself. He was like an emperor sitting on the throne, and like a marshal guarding the country.
As the judge of this execution, he will appear in person and face the heroes from another world.
Red Skull has been waiting for this battle for forty years, and he does not allow any unexpected changes to occur.
The time came to 8:50, and there was not much time left for Red Hood's execution.
The entire atmosphere in New Babylon became extremely strange. Most people did not dare to speak loudly or gasp for fear of attracting unnecessary attention. In this atmosphere, it seemed as if the air had become thicker.
All the people watching the execution gathered outside the New Times Square. They looked solemnly and silently cast their eyes in the direction of the execution platform, quietly waiting for the passage of time.
Due to the distance, it was difficult for these people to see the execution platform clearly, but the Red Skull kindly focused the large screens around New Times Square on the execution platform.
At the same time, with the help of Dr. Zola, signal stations around the world can receive the footage here in real time. The Red Skull’s move is not for anything else, but he hopes that through this war, the world will once again experience the feeling of being surrounded by nine heads. The oppressive feeling of snake rule.
Everyone knows how important this execution is, and they are also looking forward to those heroes from other worlds appearing on the battlefield, because the appearance of those people will completely change the next pattern of the entire earth. This is needless to say doubt.
Not long after, Jason Todd, codenamed Red Hood, escorted by two Hydra soldiers and accompanied by the executioner Copycat, stepped onto the execution platform step by step and came to the center of the camera.

Tonya's Auto Repair Shop in Hammerfell.
"Oh my god" Ultron No. 8 stood in front of the TV in a daze. So far, he has not recovered from the news of the visitors from another world. "This is a shock to the world of physics, if only the Fantastic Four were here, I mean, if this were real."
".It's meaningless, all this is meaningless." Tonya was still repairing the car beside her. She didn't look back, as if the picture on TV had no appeal to her.
"Mr. Barton should be at the scene, I guess. He is a hero. He will not sit idly by and ignore the Red Skull's execution." Ultron 8 murmured to himself.
"Ah"
Tonya smiled coldly, her expression gloomy, and after a long time, she sighed silently.
"If he was smart enough, he wouldn't run over and die."

Thousands of miles away, Bishop Refuge.
The silver-haired Kate Bishop had been waiting in front of the TV early. Next to her, there was a young and beautiful archer. This was the captain of the Hawkeye Guards she brought out personally, and she was the only one in this shelter besides her. The second master.
"This is Batman's adopted son, the Red Hood who came back from the dead."
"Who is the Red Hood, Mayor Bishop?" the young archer asked curiously.
"A hero from another world." Kate Bishop stared deeply at the red hooded face on the TV screen. For a time, countless familiar figures appeared in front of her eyes, and memories surged from the bottom of her heart.
"Are heroes from other worlds like Sister Lance?" the young girl asked again.
Only this time, Kate Bishop didn't answer her. Kate was immersed in her infinite memories, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Within the Hulk Gang, Logan Farm.
Wolverine Logan, who had been working all morning, returned to the room. He silently nodded to his wife as a greeting, and then he prepared to drink some hot water to warm himself.
However, when he came to the living room, he was surprised to find that his children were sitting neatly on the sofa, their eyes fixed on the TV, watching something.
"I said, don't stare at the TV, it's not good for your eyes." Logan spoke softly, speaking softly in his rich and hoarse voice.
Hearing Logan's voice, his children reacted immediately, then stood up and ran to his side, took his big hand and spoke.
"Dad, look, the Red Skull is about to execute a superhero from another world!"
"What?" Logan was stunned when he heard this, and then he quickly reacted.
He also saw Red Skull's previous declaration, but he didn't care at all. Since that day, Wolverine no longer exists. Now he is just an ordinary farmer. He is also trying his best to put aside his previous past. In the past, as he said, Wolverine was dead.
"Damn I should sell the TV."
——
Border of Red Skull's jurisdiction, former Osborne City, Blood Nest.
Blood Baron John sat quietly in the shadows, watching the real-time footage from Hydra on the big screen, the expression on his face full of gloom.
Next to him, a beautiful woman wearing a black dress with her snow-white back exposed walked over. She had a charming smile on her face, showed her sharp teeth, and spoke softly.
"Lord Baron, the intelligence station we established for Hydra has been completed. At the same time, the weapons workshop that promised to cooperate with Hydra has almost been renovated. What should we do next?"
"No hurry, no rush." Blood Baron waved his hand, his eyes glanced at the crow tattoo on his arm, and then looked at the big screen with a gloomy expression.
Following the Blood Baron's gaze, the stunning beauty was quickly attracted by the execution scene on the big screen. She pursed her lips, poured a glass of fresh blood for the Blood Baron, and smiled.
"This should be the execution site in New Babylon. Time flies so fast. Lord Baron, do you think those 'superheroes' from other worlds will really appear?"
Hearing this, the Blood Baron couldn't help but shudder, then he licked his lips and sneered. "They will show up, they will."
"Then do you think it is possible for them to defeat the Red Skull?" The beauty asked again, blinking her eyes.
"It doesn't matter, who wins or loses, the harder they fight, the better." Blood Baron said casually. "Go ahead and get our people ready to closely monitor every move of those Hydra soldiers. I want to know all their movements."
"Understood." The beautiful vampire smiled sweetly. "What about our cooperation with Hydra?"
"Cooperate. Let's wait until they win this battle." Blood Baron curled his lips.
"What if they lose?"
"Lost?"
The Blood Baron's eyes narrowed slightly into a slit.
"Then I don't want any Hydra soldiers on my territory!"
——
At the same time, New Babylon.
Most of the Hydra soldiers arrived at the designated positions. They stood ready and faced the unknown challenge with bated breath.
"The Head of State seems to take this operation very seriously. I haven't seen him so excited for a long time." Outside New Babylon, an older Hydra soldier clenched the laser gun in his hand and sighed slightly.
"This is my first time to participate in such a major battle. It's hard to imagine who our enemy is. I heard that they are a few superheroes, but... those heroes shouldn't make the head of state make such a fuss, right?" A young soldier on the side Somewhat careless.
"Don't underestimate those guys!"
Hearing this, the older Hydra soldier frowned, and he lectured with a gloomy face.
"Have you forgotten the fate of Baron Zemo? None of those old guys who survived the old war were good. What's more, we are facing heroes from another world. We don't know their intelligence at all, let alone I don’t know what they are capable of.”
"Hmph, I think it's just that. We do have no information about them, but at the same time, they don't know how powerful we are, right?"
The young soldier didn't take it seriously and still looked casual. But the next moment, his throat seemed to be choked by something and he could no longer make a sound.
The sweet and fishy liquid gushed out from his throat, and the young soldier kept spitting out blood. He silently lowered his head and found that the tip of a sharp knife had pierced through his abdomen at some point.
"enemy--!"
The older Hydra soldier on the opposite side reacted quickly. The moment the young soldier was attacked, he raised the laser gun in his hand. At the same time, he also tried to speak and relay the enemy's attack through the walkie-talkie.
But unfortunately, the attacker didn't give him any time to act. Before he could make any move, his neck was nailed to the wall with a three-pronged thorn.
The microphone-type intercom on his ear had already blocked the signal, and his voice was not noticed by anyone at all.
Before the veteran died, the only thing he saw was a one-eyed old man wearing a jacket.
As well as his cruel smile and scarlet eyeballs.
