Ultraman Noah from Marvel

74. My experience tells me to use super strength.

Stark wandered aimlessly around the rescue base.

The pungent smell of disinfectant filled his nostrils, and he frowned uncomfortably, but continued walking through it.

An elderly man with missing limbs, a blind woman, a child lying alone in a hospital bed, a emaciated young man...

Stark witnessed the plight of the refugees.

His heart clenched slightly, as if someone had grabbed it, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"It turns out that the weapons I made have caused far more harm than I ever imagined."

He stood there, his eyes darting about, lost in thought.

Hey, hello.

The sudden female voice interrupted Stark's thoughts. He looked up and saw a middle-aged woman in medical attire looking at him.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Audrey asked with surprise in her eyes, seemingly wondering who this elegantly dressed stranger was.

"Uh... hello." Stark seemed a little flustered, then his eyes lit up. "I'm here to deliver supplies to the base."

"Oh, you must be Mr. Tony, the backer Dr. Ji Yuan mentioned. Thank you for your contributions to helping refugees," Audrey said with great surprise.

She then added, "I am Dr. Audrey. It's dangerous here. You don't need to go into danger. We all know about your contributions."

Stark was speechless for a moment. He hadn't expected Ji Yuan to use his name to provide funding. Then, his clever mind started working.

Steve is a symbol of justice and peace, and his presence in this war-torn region speaks volumes.

So Stark said, "Don't worry, the war is about to end."

Audrey simply nodded and said, "Whether it ends or not, you must be careful. I'm going to check on the patient now."

Having lived here for so long, she naturally knew that wars were not so easy to end. She simply took Stark's words as the hopes of a well-meaning wealthy businessman for world peace.

If it could end so quickly, they wouldn't have been here for so long.

Stark watched Audrey's departing figure, unsure of what to say. His reasoning was undoubtedly reasonable; given Steve's personality, even if he hadn't had this thought before, seeing the situation here would surely have given him that idea.

He shook his head and returned to the basement entrance.

"How is it? What are your thoughts?" Ji Yuan glanced at Stark, who looked somewhat tired.

Stark shook his head and said with a grin, "Doctor, I didn't realize you were such a generous person. You even included my name in your donation. I'm very touched."

Ji Yuan glanced at Stark indifferently, smiled, and said, "Because apart from the food, I got all the other equipment from you. Is there a problem with that since you sponsored it?"

Stark was stunned; he realized he had been too naive.

"You said yourself that you could use Stark Industries' card to buy anything," Ji Yuan said with a smile.

"Oh, no problem, I'm Stark of my word," Stark said with a shrug. "Do you know why Steve is here?"

Ji Yuan didn't answer that question. Instead, he asked, "Do you know the root cause of why Sokovia has been in constant conflict?"

Stark stroked his chin, and said uncertainly, "Government weakness? Internal power struggles? And... the influx of weapons?"

Ji Yuan said, "These are only part of the reason. The fundamental reason lies in the covert manipulation of Hydra. They need a place covered by war and conflict to cover up their purpose."

"Hydra?"

This time, not only Stark was surprised, but Wanda and Pietro, who were just watching from the sidelines, were also very surprised.

The two of them had stubbornly attributed the destruction of their home to Stark's weapons, but now it seems there were many other reasons as well.

Wanda suddenly remembered what Ji Yuan had said before:

The power of weapons is neither good nor evil; the key lies in who wields them and how they are used.

"But wasn't Hydra wiped out a long time ago?" Stark asked, puzzled.

"They're not so easy to eliminate. Things rooted in our minds are never easy to eradicate. If you delve deeper, you'll find that they've actually been involved in many things," Ji Yuan said meaningfully.

Stark narrowed his eyes and said, "So Steve came here actually to eliminate a portion of Hydra's members?"

"Yes," Ji Yuan nodded and said, "Sokovia has a Hydra branch base hidden there. Only by taking them out can the war here truly end. With the intervention of major powers, resolving internal strife is not a problem."

"And you should be prepared, as you may uncover the truth of some things along the way. Remember to stay calm."

"What do you mean?" Stark had a vague sense of unease.

"You'll know when we break through the base," Ji Yuan said mysteriously.

Stark's eyelids twitched. If he weren't outmatched, he would have loved to kick the old mage hard in the ass.

As if reading his mind, Ji Yuan turned his head and looked at him with a meaningful gaze.

Stark shuddered and quickly said, "I'll go get some rest now. Tell Steve to wake me up tomorrow."

After saying that, he dashed into the basement.

Ji Yuan smiled and shook his head. When it comes to putting on an act, Stark is also a master.

"Mr. Ji Yuan, was it Hydra that truly caused the Sokovia war?" Wanda and Pietro asked, looking at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan shook his head and said, "The root of the war is the power struggle during the transition process, and the reason for the continued war is the infiltration of Hydra. Otherwise, how could it have lasted so long?"

"You don't need to think about it so much. Someone will handle this. Once you learn magic, you can deal with them yourselves."

Wanda and Pietro nodded, a deep hatred for Hydra rising in their hearts.

The moon set and the sun rose, and soon it was the next day.

Peter, Steve, and Stark are hiding behind a boulder about three meters high.

Steve did not wear his signature uniform, but instead wore a full-coverage mask.

Peter and Stark also disguised their Jaegers to some extent, covering them with bulky stealth suits.

The attack on the Hydra base was Steve's personal operation, and naturally it had to be kept secret to avoid alerting the enemy. This time, he was prepared to use a power that he had never shown to outsiders before.

Several mini drones flew out from the mech's shoulder and roughly scanned the base's outer defenses.

Stark said, "Captain, their defenses are very strong, with a thousand men on the outer perimeter and all kinds of weapons. What tactics do we have?"

Steve's voice sounded somewhat muffled beneath the mask: "My combat experience tells me that I need to use superpowers now!"

After saying that, Steve lifted the several-ton boulder in front of him high and hurled it forward with a whooshing sound.
