The Legendary Mechanic in Marvel Universe

Chapter 249 The Lively Wakanda

TL: Kyous

The alarms flashed with a dazzling red light while emitting an ear-piercing siren that startled Bucky. He hastily asked, “Leo, did you accidentally trigger the alarm while you were digging the herbs?”

Before Leo could reply, he urged, “The alarm is sounding now, are the Wakandans coming? We need to leave immediately!”

In his view, Leo had just dug up half of the herbs available, which was equivalent to touching Wakandans’ core interest. He had personally experienced the effects of the herb, so he was well aware that the effect of a single herb was no less than that of a standard dose of the Super Soldier Serum.

Ever since the death of Dr. Erskine, the formula of the Super Soldier Serum was lost and nations worldwide had been engaged in intense pursuit to recreate it. This pursuit had led to countless conflicts and bloodshed.

Even Howard Stark had lost his life in an attempt to recreate the serum.

Now, with Leo taking away such a precious stash of the herbs, the consequences would be dire if they were discovered. The Wakandans would undoubtedly stop at nothing to annihilate them.

As the alarms blared, Bucky assumed that they were exposed.

However, Leo didn’t share the same concern. He had analyzed and studied the alarm system a few days ago, obtaining its blueprint. This particular alarm system was quite common in Wakanda and was called the “All-purpose Alarm.” It was specifically designed to notify the Wakandan populace of large-scale dangers such as fires or other natural disasters.

Moreover, based on the alarm pattern of the current situation, it was only a Level 2 alert, indicating that regular civilians needed to stay vigilant at home but weren’t in immediate danger.

Only Wakandan warriors and designated personnel would need to spring into action, following the orders released by the Wakandan Defense Department and taking their positions for defense.

Thus, the reality was far from what Bucky had suggested and they were likely not exposed yet.

But their time was running out.

Once the alarm sounded, given the importance of the Temple of Panther God, Wakandan warriors, and priests would promptly come to investigate the situation and fortify the defenses. By then, they would discover numerous pits within the temple and realize that half of the herbs were gone.

This would drive the Wakandans to madness!

Leo certainly didn’t want to face the wrath of the Wakandans. It would be far too troublesome and he could only imagine that they would hound him for the rest of his life.

Realizing the situation, he quickly called out to Bucky, “The alarm wasn’t triggered by me, but the outcome is pretty much the same. The Wakandans will soon arrive to check the temple. We need to leave right away.”

“Are we leaving Wakanda right away or return back to our hiding spot?” Bucky hurriedly sought confirmation from Leo.

“Let’s leave Wakanda right away,” Leo replied as he recalled the contingency plan he had in mind and continued, “But before that, I need to return to our hiding spot and take the Capsule House. And then, I still need to settle a few matters. Since we’re tight on time, I’m afraid you’ll have to endure in the hibernation pod for now, Bucky.”

Bucky didn’t refuse and agreed instantly.

Leo then pulled out the hibernation pod from his Storage Belt and helped Bucky, dressed in the Winter, comfortably lie inside it and the pod shrunk in size instantly. After that, he placed it back into his Storage Belt.

He then reduced his size, blasting into the sky and heading toward the location of the Capsule House.

While flying, he activated his newly acquired skill, “Mechanical Force – Relay.” The relaying target was the communicator in his helmet. Despite the communicator having a size of a thumbtack, it had a much larger physical size. It was equipped with an advanced processing chip, as well as a control panel composed of many buttons and a large display screen. And it wasn’t any different from a high-performance computer.

In the past, even if Leo possessed extraordinary Mechanical Force, the control panel would appear as a blur when faced with such a tiny communicator, making it impossible for him to control the control panel of the communicator with his Mechanical Force from a distance.

But now, with the incredible skill of “Mechanical Force – Relay,” everything changed.

Although this was his first time using the “Mechanical Force – Relay,” once he successfully established a link with the communicator, he instantly understood how to utilize the “Mechanical Force – Relay.” He immediately became used to it, as if it were second nature.

It was challenging to put his sensations into words. If forcefully describing it, it would be as if the communicator became an extension of his body. He could effortlessly command the communicator with his mind to accomplish anything it was capable of.

The feeling of a piece of machinery becoming a part of his body was even more genuine than the Intracranial Transmission Technology but without any hint of “addictive” tendencies. There was no illusion of being trapped and unable to escape.

So using “Mechanical Force – Relay” to link with the communicator not only improved the precision but also relieved any mental burden.

Upon discovering this fact, Leo’s face displayed a pleasant surprise.

Right away, he set aside his original plans and eagerly activated the “Mechanical Force – Relay” once more, targeting the entire Viper.

And as expected, the next moment, he linked targets successfully increased by one, the Viper Mark VIII.

The moment the link succeeded, he abruptly trembled with excitement, thrilled beyond measure.

At that moment, he felt as if he and the Viper had undergone a bio-mechanical transformation, tightly fused into one entity. Especially with the “Pym Arc Reactor,” a super-powered energy core within Viper, he experienced an unparalleled and unprecedented sense of security.

He felt as though he had suddenly turned into a Super Saiyan, capable of soaring through the skies with his “body” alone and launching immensely powerful energy blasts with mere gestures.

Besides, with several dozen “Pym Miniature Highly-compressed Battery,” he felt akin to a martial arts master who had unlocked all of his body’s meridians, with each meridian brimming with stored Qi.

And the super-powered energy core was his Dantian.

Mechanics was a typical science fiction trope, but after being equipped with the “Mechanical Force – Relay,” it gave him a touch of Xuanhuan cultivation vibes!

Instantly falling in love with this sensation, Leo felt so excited that he could let out a scream.

Because this feeling was truly exhilarating!

It was as if driving a car at 120 miles per hour when suddenly realizing that you could easier run at the same speed.

Apart from that, what made “Mechanical Force – Relay” more convenient than the Intracranial Transmission Technology was its ability to transmit over long distances without physical contact. Unlike the Intracranial Transmission Technology that required a sensor attached to the back of Leo’s head, the skill proved to be much more convenient.

With these thoughts in mind, Leo suddenly felt that it was time for an upgrade to Viper Mark VIII.

With the “Mechanical Force – Relay” in his arsenal, he believed that the Intracranial Transmission Technology would become obsolete from now on. It could accommodate more powerful weapons now that it was able to free up more space.

As his thoughts wandered, Leo swiftly flew towards the designated tree that served as their base and slipped through the cracks in the tree bark, entering the hollow spot when the towering Capsule House awaited.

Casually lifting his hand, Leo made the Capsule House shrink and fit into the palm of his hand.

The sight was even more awe-inspiring than the magic itself.

He effortlessly stuffed the Capsule House into his Storage Belt and continued with his original plan. Continuing using the “Mechanical Force – Relay” to link with his communicator, a series of commands that would require him to press a dozen keys on the control panel were easily transmitted with a single thought.

Then, the monitoring function of the communicator was activated, and Leo successfully breached Wakanda’s communication channel.

Of course, it would have been impossible for him to infiltrate Wakanda’s communication channel solely through the communicator. 

However, he invested a considerable amount of energy recently to create a set of external stations, which didn’t just transmit signals with the Vibranium mine. After all, those external stations stood at an impressive two meters height!

With the massive size that was larger than Viper itself, Leo naturally filled it with various functions. Among its functions, infiltrating Wakanda’s communication channel was just one of them.

On top of that, it possessed another crucial capability, breaking into Wakanda’s database. It could download as much information as possible before Wakandan forces discovered and intercepted it.

Although this action would expose its location, the Wakandans would never suspect it was as small as a matchstick, making it unlikely for them to swiftly locate it. And during this short period of time, Leo would already retrieve the external station and left Wakanda.

Currently, the communication channels within Wakanda were buzzing with activity, filled with electromagnetic waves of various frequencies carrying diverse information.

Leo swiftly controlled the communicator to filter out the current military channels in Wakanda, immediately tuning into the military briefing. The translation module of the communicator rendered the received Wakandan language into English, displaying Wakandan-English subtitles through a holographic projection in front of him.

From the communicator, a voice could be heard saying, “Your Majesty, the Border Tribes have gained full control over the situation beyond the Azure Firmament. Shall we deploy more air forces to swiftly eliminate all the H.Y.D.R.A. forces?”
