"Hey, Hydra!"
The room echoed with a chorus of voices, muffled slightly by the door.
Leo Elwin, who had been waiting outside the door for a while, heard this slogan and knew the meeting inside was about to end.
The secret Hydra base held daily morning and evening meetings. Leo, with his status, could certainly attend, but he had more important tasks to do every evening, so he only needed to attend the morning meetings.
Leo waited patiently at the door, deliberately standing straight. Soon, the door creaked open, and a tall, alluring woman with a seductive face and blood-red lips walked out, her lips exuding a fatal allure.
A strong desire flashed in Leo's eyes, and he skillfully ducked his head, raised his hands, and shouted loudly:
"Hey, Hydra!"
But the alluring woman didn't even glance at Leo, walking straight down the corridor. A muscular white man followed her out, his hair hanging to his neck, and one arm gleaming with a metallic sheen under the corridor lights.
Leo deliberately showed a look of jealousy in his eyes.
The muscular man didn't look at Leo either, following the alluring woman around the corner of the corridor.
Leo lowered his arms and pouted, watching the alluring woman's retreating back.
Every time he performed this ridiculous action, he had countless complaints, but rationality compelled him to complete the entire set of actions and shout the slogan "Long live Hydra."
Because if Leo showed even the slightest disrespect to Hydra, the Winter Soldier's iron fist would mercilessly crush his head.
The muscular man who had just passed by was Bucky Barnes, Captain America's closest comrade during World War II, later transformed by Hydra into the Winter Soldier with a chip implanted in his brain to control his will, now Hydra's top enforcer.
Being killed by Bucky's iron fist would be the best outcome. If he fell into the hands of the alluring woman "Sin," it would be worse than death.
Sin, Sienna Schmidt, the daughter of "Red Skull," is now the leader of Hydra. She is ruthless to both enemies and her own people.
So ever since he arrived in this world, Leo had been thinking of ways to leave this den of danger to avoid losing his life accidentally, but he had yet to find a suitable opportunity to escape.
"Stop staring, they're long gone." An electronic voice came from below Leo.
Leo turned his head and saw a robot about 1.5 meters tall with no head, only limbs.
The robot had an electronic display on its chest showing an old man with glasses, Dr. Zola, who had uploaded his consciousness to a computer.
"She's not someone you can handle. She can drain you in one night, only the Winter Soldier can take it! Don't have those fantasies, boy. Have you finished calibrating the equipment?"
"All done, teacher."
Dr. Zola grunted and then hopped forward, and Leo quickly followed.
Leo, male, a typical穿越者 from Earth.
Traversed world: Marvel Universe.
Traversed identity: Leo Elwin, an Asian youth whose parents were Hydra agents and died on a mission. The original Leo's role in the base was Dr. Zola's student and assistant.
For some reason, Leo from Earth woke up in the body of the Marvel Universe's Leo after a night's sleep and reviewed all the original Leo's memories.
This allowed him to blend in well and survive in the Hydra base.
When he first arrived, Leo was lost, afraid, and desperately homesick. He had a beautiful and virtuous wife and two one-year-old twins at home.
But after half a year, Leo could only bury his longing deep in his heart and began to think about how to survive in this world.
He couldn't stay in the Hydra base for long! Not only because Leo couldn't tolerate the ridiculous actions of the organization, but also because the people here knew the original Leo, and any mistake could expose him.
For example, the original Leo was infatuated with the alluring Sienna, so Leo had to subtly express hidden desires whenever he encountered Sienna to avoid arousing suspicion.
...
Soon, Leo followed Dr. Zola to the laboratory.
After a brief inspection of a few instruments, Dr. Zola said:
"Everything is as usual. Use the emergency wake-up function if there's an emergency."
Dr. Zola gave Leo a brief instruction and then lay down on a dedicated mechanical frame.
Dr. Zola had uploaded his consciousness to a computer, and with the base's network system, his computational speed rivaled that of the latest Intel processor.
But his daily computational load was too heavy, so he had to sleep for six hours each day on a specialized device.
This was not only to restore his energy but also to use the device to determine his main consciousness among countless backup bodies worldwide.
As Dr. Zola's student and assistant, Leo had to calibrate the sleep device every evening, so he didn't need to attend the evening meetings.
"Teacher, I've been doing this for eight years, I'm very familiar with it. I can do it with my eyes closed, so you can sleep soundly."
"You'd better keep your eyes open."
Unfortunately, Dr. Zola didn't understand Earth humor and sternly reminded Leo several times.
Leo agreed repeatedly and then pulled a lever to send Dr. Zola into "dreamland."
[Detected analyzable target "autonomous consciousness multifunctional robot," current analysis completion: 50%.]
When Leo focused his attention on Dr. Zola's sleeping body, a line of pale green transparent text suddenly appeared clearly on his retina.
Leo silently said, "Attributes."
A list of attributes appeared before Leo's eyes.
[Name: Leo Elwin
Occupation: Mechanic
Occupational Skills: Mechanical Power Extraction Method, Mechanical Power Analysis
Skills: Basic Combat, Basic Firearms Proficiency
Specialties: Computer Expertise, Physics Expertise, Genetics Expertise, ...
Knowledge Mastered: Computer Manufacturing, Firearms Manufacturing, ...]
[Mechanical Power Extraction Method: A specialized cultivation method for mechanics, capable of extracting energy from the universe and converting it into mechanical power. Note: The extraction speed is related to the host's physical condition, and the mechanical power limit can passively and permanently enhance the host's physical condition.]
[Mechanical Power Analysis: Consumes mechanical power and mental energy to analyze any object, gaining knowledge and blueprints.]
This was Leo's穿越福利, the Mechanic System.
The attributes on the system panel were partly from the original Leo and partly from what Leo had learned after traversing, such as firearms manufacturing.
This was the capital that allowed Leo to survive in this world and the basis for his plan to leave the Hydra base.
After all, the Marvel Universe was a world where gods and demons roamed, and superheroes and criminals were as common as dogs, with Earth always facing the threat of destruction.
However, the current timeline was still relatively low-tech. Captain America was still sleeping in the North Sea, Thor was still proving himself in Asgard, Dr. Bruce Banner had not yet mutated, and Tony Stark had not yet created his Iron Man suit.
At the meeting two months ago, Sienna had only proposed a plan to eliminate Howard Stark, which had not yet been put into action.
So the time was still early, and Leo didn't need to worry about being chosen by the purple-skinned bald guy.
There was still plenty of time for Leo to grow, especially with the Mechanic System, which gave him infinite potential for growth.
After half a year of exploration, Leo was now familiar with the system's usage. The 50% analysis completion of Dr. Zola's robot body was the result of nearly four months of effort.
"Start analysis."
Leo stared at Dr. Zola, his eyes filled with invisible mechanical power, as if he could see through everything.
After a while, the mechanical power he had accumulated was completely consumed, and the analysis completion increased by only 1% to 51%.
At this rate, it would take Leo several more months to fully analyze the robot.
Leo's mechanical power had a limit, which was related to his physical condition. The growth of mechanical power could also enhance his physical condition, forming a beautiful positive feedback loop.
However, after half a year of mechanical power cultivation, Leo's physical condition was only slightly above that of a well-trained soldier.
His total mechanical power could barely support simple operations like drawing a gun from his waist.
With his mechanical power depleted, Leo couldn't use the mechanical power analysis skill again.
He turned off the lights in the laboratory, creating a perfect sleep environment for Dr. Zola, and then went to a small room next to the laboratory to start re-extracting mechanical power.
After more than an hour, Leo's mechanical power was fully restored, but he didn't return to the laboratory to analyze Dr. Zola's robot body again.
In the past, Leo could analyze Dr. Zola's robot body three times each time he slept. More than that, and Leo's mental state couldn't handle it, requiring a good night's sleep to recover.
But today, Leo had a more important analysis target, and the analysis completion was expected to be full today. This would be the first powerful weapon he had successfully analyzed in half a year.
Suppressing his excitement, Leo quickly walked to the north side of the base.
