The search was fruitless, and Lu Xiao invited Thor and Loki to temporarily return to the London Temple.
In front of the two of them and Daniel, Lu Xiao played the video sent by Aletheia through the holographic imaging function of Focus.
"Wow~"
Loki exclaimed in surprise: "Has Midgard's technology developed to this point?"
Thor was looking at the projected image attentively, and shouted impatiently to his side: "Loki, shut up!"
The entire video lasts less than a minute, recording the entire contact process between Hela and the two villains.
The result of the battle was completely one-sided. Hela casually used a flying knife to kill most of the mercenaries who raised their guns to attack her, leaving only the two most threatening enemies.
One of them is a young black man with a strong build. He should be the leader of this group of mercenaries.
Another bearded white man has a prosthetic arm on his left hand. This prosthetic arm can emit some kind of energy attack, which looks like sound waves.
Sonic attacks are very effective against ordinary people, but they are just toys in front of Hela.
She pinched the prosthetic limb that was producing sound waves and disabled the weapon with a twist.
The scattered sound waves affected the stability of nearby surveillance cameras. When the video screen was reframed, the scene was empty.
Aletheia used the big criminal data obtained from the Braised Eggman to compare the faces of the two people on the screen.
Lu Xiao paused the replay of the video, walked into the holographic image, pointed at the white man with a beard, and said, "This man is Ulysses Crow, an arms smuggler who travels to West Africa all the time."
"Not long ago, my fiancée had a conflict with his men in Africa. I didn't expect to get news about him so soon."
"And this person."
Lu Xiao pointed to the young black man with pigtails: "His name is Eric. He is a former US Navy SEAL. He was expelled from the army because he was too brutal during his mission. He later became a freelance mercenary and was recruited by his peers in the mercenary industry.
Called 'The Killer King'."
Thor asked in confusion: "Why are these two people related to Hela?"
Loki rolled his eyes at his brother who couldn't think of anything else. "Please, Thor, use your brain."
"It's not that they have anything to do with Hela, it's that they were forced to use it by Hela."
Lu Xiao nodded in agreement with Loki's explanation: "It should just be a coincidence. The British Museum not long ago issued a notice that someone broke into the West African exhibition hall and took away two precious ancient cultural relics. That is what Crowe and Eric's team did.
of."
"As Klaue and Eric were preparing to escape to the airport, they happened to be hit by Hela. Perhaps the energy fluctuations emitted by Klaue's sonic weapon aroused Hela's interest. She stopped the two of them and followed them into the car.
Leave."
Lu Xiao nodded at the black Audi car on the screen: "Klaue once sneaked into Wakanda and stole a large amount of vibranium. His prosthetic limbs and car should have been modified with vibranium and cannot be captured by surveillance cameras."
"Thor, you should know about this metal. Rogers' shield is mixed with a part of vibranium. It is also called sound-absorbing steel and has excellent kinetic energy absorption capabilities."
Thor, who was confused throughout the whole process, finally found a chance to speak: "I know! Rogers' shield is very impact-resistant and can even block my Mjolnir war hammer."
Loki frowned and thought: "Hela has been sealed for thousands of years. He definitely doesn't have any weapons in his hands. He can only use his own death power to materialize and attack."
"If she gets enough vibranium from Klaw to build a new weapon... I have a bad feeling."
"It's not that easy."
Lu Xiao used Focus to project a holographic image of Vision: "The vibranium stored in Crowe's hand was taken away by Ultron. After a series of changes, the vibranium was finally combined with the Mind Stone to become Vision."
"If Hela wants to build new weapons, she should temporarily cooperate with Klaw, who is familiar with the West African environment, and try to invade Wakanda to obtain more vibranium."
"Wait a moment."
Thor slapped his forehead in confusion: "Wakanda? An African country?"
"I don't know much about the distribution of countries in Midgard, but as far as I know, Africa is a barren continent far away from the civilized world, right? Why doesn't Wakanda's possession of precious materials like vibranium cause other countries to covet it?
?”
"Ha~"
Lu Xiao smiled sarcastically: "That's a good question. Given the plundering nature of Western countries, if they knew that Wakanda had an unimaginable amount of vibranium, they would definitely launch a war of aggression at all costs.
"
"However, Wakanda is not as poor and backward as it appears to the world."
Lu Xiao called up the territory of Wakanda from the map and put a big question mark on it: "Vibranium is not an ore native to the earth. It is a meteorite that landed on the earth from outer space millions of years ago."
"The landing site of this meteorite is in West Africa, which is where the Kingdom of Wakanda is today."
"For thousands of years, Wakanda has used vibranium to develop amazing technology, but they have never truly shown their true appearance to the world."
"Uh~"
Thor rubbed his temples and asked: "In other words, Wakanda actually has technological strength that far exceeds that of the countries in Midgard?"
Lu Xiao spread his hands: "Yes, it's not so much that they avoid plundering, but that they disdain conflicts with Western countries that are technologically backward."
It can be seen from the plot of Avengers 4 that Wakanda has long developed high-tech technologies such as energy shields and optical camouflage. If it really starts a war with Western countries, it is probably difficult for nuclear bombs to break through Wakanda's own territory.
defense.
Loki pondered and analyzed: "If I were Hela, before I regain my strength and return to Asgard, I will definitely find a way to enhance my combat effectiveness. Weapons are an important enhancement prop."
"Hela is the eldest princess of Asgard. Ordinary metals can never get into her eyes. Only vibranium, an extraterrestrial and strong material, can arouse her interest."
"Then our destination is very clear."
"Yes."
Lu Xiao raised his hand and clicked on the question mark on the holographic map: "Wakanda, we must try our best to stop Hela before she obtains enough vibranium to create weapons."
"I'm not sure how far Wakanda's technology has developed. Maybe they really have the ability to send Hela back to Asgard."
The strength of Wakanda, which uses vibranium to develop technology, cannot be underestimated, but in terms of individual combat effectiveness, a company of Black Panthers combined is no match for Hela.
If Hela chooses to hide her whereabouts and attack Wakanda's high-level core, once the king is controlled, Wakanda may be coerced and send her to Asgard as requested by Hela.
"Time waits for no one, Aletheia, help me contact Fury, tell him the situation, and ask him to arrange for a Quinjet to come over. We will rush to Africa as quickly as possible."
