"This… even she doesn't know."
Tony Stark shook his head, looking helpless.
"Motherfu**er!!"
Nick Fury couldn't help but curse, then instructed Maria Hill, who was not far away:
"Immediately contact the field agents on the ground and track down Maya Hansen's whereabouts… Remember, this woman is a very important scientific talent, and we must bring her back to [.] alive for interrogation."
"Yes, sir."
Maria Hill then began to call the ground base.
…………
……
A few hours later.
[Miami].
The secret manor where the [Ten Rings Gang] was hiding.
A completely invisible [Quinjet] sped down from the sky and quietly hovered above the manor, but the armed men patrolling the manor were not aware of the danger at all.
"Wow, sis, your invisibility ability is so powerful now? You can even cover a plane."
[Human Torch] Johnny Storm gave Susan Storm, who was continuously outputting [Invisibility Field], a thumbs-up gesture.
"Stop talking nonsense, whatever you are going to do next, you better decide quickly…" Susan Storm said with a slightly ugly face, "Because I'm about to run out of strength."
After all, she had only obtained this superpower for a few months, and being able to do this was already her limit.
Captain America quickly said when he saw this: "Everyone, check whether the communication equipment and weapons are complete. Before the official action, I want to reiterate our primary goal this time… that is to capture Aldrich Killian, the mastermind behind the [Ten Rings Gang], and Dr. Curt Connors. If you encounter resisters, you can kill them on the spot."
"But there is one thing everyone needs to pay special attention to. The best way to completely kill those KB terrorists who have been injected with the [Extremis Virus] is to shoot them in the head!"
"Understood." Hawkeye smiled confidently, "I'm best at this."
"[Jarvis] has just used the infrared thermal imaging system to scan the entire manor. This is their personnel distribution map."
Tony Stark then used [holographic projection technology] to display the electronic sand table of the manor below, and the red dots moving back and forth in it represented the locations of the KB terrorists.
"There are really too many guards in this manor?"
Black Widow pointed to the two red dots that were significantly larger than the other red dots deep in a building and said:
"Judging from the heat signals emitted from these two people, it is highly likely that they are Aldrich Killian and Dr. Curt Connors. Everyone be careful when you take action later."
Everyone nodded in agreement, only [Thing] Ben Grimm said indifferently: "Hurry up and let me down. After I deal with this group of bastards, I still have to go back and continue searching for Reed's whereabouts."
It can be seen that he still hasn't recovered from the resentment of being "abandoned" by his friend.
So he will never give up until he drags the other party out and questions him face to face!
And this is exactly what Nick Fury wants to see most.
"Action."
Captain America immediately signaled the pilot to open the tail hatch.
Whoosh whoosh——
Tony Stark and Human Torch took the lead and flew out. Before the KB terrorists below could react, they launched the first round of attacks, thus making sufficient preparations for their teammates to parachute.
Thing and Captain America followed closely behind, jumping directly from a height of more than ten meters.
Boom——
Thing smashed a huge pit into the ground like a meteorite, and then when the surrounding KB terrorists surrounded him with guns to check, he rushed out of the pit like a heavy tank.
Captain America, during the process of falling, curled his body into a ball, and then used the powerful characteristics of the [Vibranium Shield] to successfully resolve the huge kinetic energy attached to falling from a high altitude.
He somersaulted up from the ground with a carp and immediately threw himself into the battle without delay.
"It's our turn."
Black Widow and Hawkeye looked at each other, and both saw envy in each other's eyes. How could they not want to do a chic "leap of faith" like Captain America?
But their physique and equipment didn't allow it!
So the two could only use high-altitude rappelling to quickly reach the ground under the cover of several teammates and join the battle.
"Aren't you going?"
Susan Storm looked sideways at Bruce Banner, who was hesitating in front of the hatch. The latter scratched his head awkwardly, "I think with them here, I shouldn't need to… ah, no, Hulk shouldn't need to take action, right?"
"You still can't control that power well?" Susan Storm asked curiously.
Bruce Banner replied with a wry smile: "That's right, after all, I'm just an ordinary scientist, and fighting is not my forte."
"I understand… you and Reed both have unparalleled brains."
Speaking of her ex-boyfriend… oh no, it should be her ex-ex-boyfriend, a look of loss could not help but appear in Susan Storm's eyes.
The reason why she agreed to join [.] was partly because she didn't want to see her brother being used by Nick Fury to do some dirty things, and partly because she simply wanted to find the whereabouts of her old lover Reed Richards.
She also wanted to question this heartless man face to face, why didn't he take her with him back then?
"Uh, thank you for the compliment."
Bruce Banner politely nodded to the other party, then crossed his arms and returned to his seat.
At this time, the battle in the manor below had entered a white-hot stage.
The six people had a clear division of labor. Thing, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Human Torch were responsible for containing the enemies outside.
Tony Stark and Captain America were responsible for going deep into the building to carry out the capture mission.
After all, most of the enemies were concentrated outside.
Although the Extremis warriors of the [Ten Rings Gang] had an absolute advantage in numbers, they still couldn't stop the fierce offensive of the four Avengers.
Especially Thing, the layer of hard rock covering his body could effectively isolate bullets and the high-temperature damage released by the Extremis warriors, so he was not afraid of the enemy's concentrated fire.
Bang bang——
Thing punched two Extremis warriors who rushed towards him, and the two's sternums immediately collapsed inward.
But what surprised Thing was that the two quickly got up again after landing. With a burst of red light flashing on their bodies, the depressions on their chests quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then they fearlessly charged towards Thing again.
"Hey, big guy, remember to hit their heads!!"
Hawkeye's voice came from behind. At the same time, two arrows with explosive tips accurately hit the heads of the two Extremis warriors.
Boom boom——
After two loud explosions, two bloody, headless corpses fell heavily to the ground.
According to the information provided by Maya Hansen, as long as they shot these Extremis warriors in the head before they activated the [Extremis Virus], they could avoid self-destruction after their death.
"Don't worry, even if they self-destruct, it doesn't matter at all, because I have Human Torch!"
Human Torch burned an Extremis warrior into coke with a fire fist, then hovered in mid-air and showed off with his hands on his hips:
"See, they don't even have a chance to explode… Boom!!!"
Obviously, the flame temperature he just released was far higher than the highest temperature created by the [Extremis Virus] and its self-healing ability, so he could burn the Extremis warrior to death.
But before he could be proud for long, two Extremis warriors who jumped up from behind directly chose to self-destruct.
Boom boom——
The scorching high temperature immediately swept in all directions like a sea of fire.
The latest novel is first published in the sixth 9 books bar!
"Fu*k!!"
Hawkeye and Black Widow, who didn't have time to find cover, could only lie down on the spot, avoid vital points, and use their backs to withstand the scorching flames.
When the explosion ended, although the two successfully escaped, a large area of the special combat uniforms on their backs were ignited, and even some parts had been burned through, constantly emitting black smoke.
"Ah, my hair?!"
Black Widow let out a scream. The delicate short hair she was so proud of had also become charred at the back of her head, looking quite ridiculous.
On the other hand, Human Torch, although he was in the center of the explosion, was not hurt at all, and showed off with a smug look on his face:
"How is it, I said their self-destruction can't hurt…"
"Damn it, if you dare to say another word, I will kill you myself!!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Black Widow, who was glaring at him.
If gazes could kill, Human Torch would probably have been shot through by Black Widow's gaze.
Human Torch saw this and defended himself dejectedly: "Sorry, I didn't notice their sneak attack just now. Next time I will definitely… bang!!"
A bullet flew past his head. Black Widow pointed the gun at his brow and said with a gloomy face: "Try saying another word?"
What else could Human Torch do?
Of course… he chickened out!
Originally, he was very much looking forward to leaving a heroic and good impression on Black Widow in this battle, so as to develop a friendship that could start at any time.
But now it seems that it is mostly hopeless!
But before Black Widow could say anything more, a large number of Extremis warriors poured in from other directions of the manor.
Da da da——
Dense bullets poured towards the direction where the four were.
Human Torch decided to redeem himself, while attracting firepower in the air, while releasing flames to bombard and kill those unlucky ghosts who didn't have time to activate the [Extremis Virus].
And Thing was still in that unscrupulous, rampaging posture, and ordinary attacks couldn't break through his defense at all.
Bang bang bang——
After dispersing the enemy's formation, he waved his hand and grabbed two Extremis warriors like he was carrying chickens, and then slammed their heads together.
Pfft——
Blood and brain matter splattered out, and the two Extremis warriors died on the spot before they could self-destruct!
……
Inside the building.
Under the guidance of [Jarvis], Tony Stark and Captain America successfully arrived at the area where the dense high-temperature signals were released.
However, waiting in the hall were not the "mastermind" Aldrich Killian that the two imagined, but two lizardmen with thick scales all over their bodies and obviously mentally disordered… to be precise, they should be called fire lizard warriors!
And a dozen fully armed Extremis warriors.
Da da da——
Tony Stark immediately ordered [Jarvis] to scan the facial information of everyone. After confirming that Aldrich Killian and Dr. Curt Connors were not among them, he directly controlled the shoulder machine gun of the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] to accurately blow the heads of all the Extremis warriors.
Then he hovered in mid-air and looked at the two fire lizard warriors opposite and said: "Hey, gentlemen, may I ask which of you is Aldrich Killian?"
Roar——
But what responded to him was a series of beast-like roars. The two fire lizard warriors didn't say a word, and attacked Tony Stark and Captain America with strange cries.
"Oh, sh*t?!"
Tony Stark dodged the scorching flames sprayed by the two fire lizard warriors sideways and complained to Captain America, who was constantly dodging attacks below:
"Captain, can you tell which one of them is Aldrich Killian?"
Captain America relied on his rich combat experience to flexibly defend and dodge, while helplessly shaking his head, "They all look the same in my eyes, and there is no way to tell… or, should we just capture them all?"
"It looks like that's the only way."
Tony Stark couldn't help but complain: "I hope that Aldrich Killian bastard is inside, otherwise I will beat him to the ground next time I see him!"
……
At the same time.
[New York, Queens].
Inside a car, Aldrich Killian was admiring the battle between the [Avengers] and the group of subordinates he regarded as abandoned through the monitoring system.
"Tsk tsk tsk, those Thing and Human Torch must be new members of the [Avengers], right? They look like they are very difficult to deal with!"
Eric Savin pointed to Human Torch in the monitoring screen and said with some worry: "Boss, this fire guy seems to be immune to fire attacks and is very restrained against the [Extremis Virus] in our bodies."
"And that b*tch Maya Hansen seems to have told them the weaknesses of the Extremis warriors. In this case, the situation is very unfavorable for us!"
"It doesn't matter."
Aldrich Killian said with a sneer: "Don't forget, in addition to the [Extremis Virus], we now also have the blessing of the [Lizard Cross-Species Gene Serum]. It won't be so easy to deal with us."
Then he looked at the time on his watch, "How is Dr. Connors' preparation? Under normal circumstances, President Ellis has already entered the arena. It's time for him to start taking action."
As long as he can draw all the attention, we can take President Ellis away with ease... Anyway, we've already got the formula for the [Lizard Trans-species Gene Serum], so whether he lives or dies is of little importance to us now!!
