The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 440: A stray dog ​​without an owner won’t live long
Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths.

In American culture, gangs are an integral part of society and cannot be banned, so they find it difficult to understand why all the gangs on the other side of the ocean are living in seclusion.

As a gangster, of course you have to make yourself famous so that you can recruit more brothers to join!

Whether it's the Crip Gang, the Blood Gang, the Hand, the Ten Rings Gang... they all have to have a resounding name, even if the gang only has a hundred or so people.

The Viper Gang that Natasha found was just this kind of small gang.

This is a small gang mainly composed of Mexicans. It was established less than three months ago. I don’t know where Natasha got the information that allowed her to find this place.

The lair of these small gangs is basically in a bar or nightclub. A group of people gather together and make a fortune when there is business. When there is no business, they eat and drink as much as they want, play with women, and smoke weeds, just to get by from day to day.

We absolutely dare not disperse, otherwise we will not see the sun tomorrow.

Small gangs also have their advantages. They rise and fall quickly, and perhaps all of them will be wiped out in a street conflict tomorrow. There is no need to worry about information leaks.

No matter which world it is, it is Zhan Liu’s first time to come to a bar.

The environment here is smoky and foul, just like those places in the movies where a fight will break out within three minutes of appearing.

Enduring the pollution of various noises around his ears and the smell of cheap perfume, leaf cigarettes, hormones and sweat that filled his nose, Zhan Liu followed Natasha and squeezed towards the bar.

In such an unfamiliar environment, it is better to let experienced agents like Natasha take charge of everything. As a rookie who has not yet entered the society, Zhan Liu should watch and learn more.

Natasha was indeed very familiar with the entire environment. She waved her arms, pushed away everyone in front of her, and strode forward.

After Natasha broke the third finger of the hooligan who was so blind as to tease her, Zhan Liu and the other man finally met the boss of the Viper Gang. However, this guy was not very friendly and surrounded the two of them with a group of people.

The leader of the Viper Gang was a sturdy man who looked like Dwayne Johnson. He had a dahlia, the national flower of Mexico, tattooed on his left chest, covering half of his chest. On each of his two sturdy arms was a king cobra, with the body of the snake wrapped around his arm and the head of the snake passing over his shoulder, staring at him from behind, which looked very creepy.

A group of people behind him had knives in their hands, their clothes half open, deliberately exposing the guns at their waists, looking at people with squinted eyes, as if they were ready to start a fight if they disagreed with him.

Zhan Liu looked at this scene which looked like something often seen in a movie, and stood behind with a smile on his face, ready to watch the fun.

With this bunch of scum, they can't even get close to Black Widow, so there's no need to worry about being at a disadvantage.

However, the much-anticipated fighting scene did not appear. Natasha's words made the leader of the Viper Gang change his attitude.

"Steppenwolf's original business now belongs to your Viper Gang, right? Are you still going to do it?"

"Yes! Of course!" The tattooed man who led the Viper Gang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled happily, bent his waist, turned sideways and stretched out his hand to point inside, "Let's talk about it in detail inside."

Seeing their boss like this, the group of people behind him of course knew that a sponsor was sending money.

No one can resist money, not even gangsters.

A group of people suddenly dispersed to both sides, leaving a passage in the middle.

Natasha held her head high, strode forward and walked straight in.

Zhan Liu didn't see the excitement and followed behind sullenly, looking like a follower.

Behind the bar was a large, messy living room, where several half-naked women were lying on the sofa and carpet. Judging from their dazed looks, they had obviously taken too much.

The tattooed man waved his hand, and a group of his men beat and kicked the women out, then politely asked Natasha to take a seat.

Natasha looked around. The room was dirty and filled with all kinds of suspicious substances. She couldn't sit there.

She looked around and felt that only the curtain seemed relatively clean, so she reached out, pulled the curtain down, placed it on the sofa, and then sat down leisurely.

As for Zhan Liu, he looked around but didn't see any clean place, so he simply gave up. He clasped his hands in front of him and stood behind Natasha like a bodyguard.

It's true, he is nearly two meters tall and has muscular body, so he really looks like a bodyguard.

The tattooed man sat opposite Natasha, and his younger brothers were standing or sitting behind him, looking quite imposing as well.

A waiter brought clean wine glasses and wine utensils from the bar in front, and then the tattooed man filled the glasses with wine himself, placed them in front of Natasha in a flattering manner, and introduced himself with a smile on his face.

"This is a fine wine from my collection. I rarely drink it. I only take it out when distinguished guests come. You can try it."

"I'm Akanado, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang. I have the final say on these streets now."

"What the Steppenwolf did before, our Wild Wolf Gang can do too. Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problems."

Arcanado patted his chest and assured Natasha.

The purpose of running a gang is to make money. Of course, you cannot treat the financiers who bring money to your door as roughly as you would treat an ATM.

Since people have different statuses and needs, their attitudes are naturally different.

Natasha didn't even look at the glass of wine. She said coldly without any expression on her face, "Our company doesn't care who you are or what gang you belong to. As long as you can complete the work we assign to you, that's enough. No matter how much you say, it will be useless. In the end, it still depends on the actual results of your work."

"Don't worry!" Akanado was not offended by Natasha's indifference and contempt, and still smiled. "Whether it's materials for human experiments, or spraying and destroying drugs or recycling test products, we can do it!"

Natasha nodded without comment and said nonsense: "Tonight, a batch of medicines need to be sent outside the city for large-scale testing. If you can complete this task well, the company will transfer all the business of Steppenwolf to you in the future."

Arcanado was overjoyed. "Okay, okay, I will personally lead the team to deliver the drugs tonight. It will be done secretly and no one will find out about the problem. Even if we are discovered, our Wild Wolf Gang will naturally send someone to take the blame, and your company will definitely not be implicated."

"But the resettlement fee for the person who took the blame..." Arcana stopped talking halfway and looked at Natasha cunningly.

"Don't worry, the company has always been generous with money, otherwise you wouldn't have gone out of your way to kill the Steppenwolf, right?" Natasha sneered and taunted him.

Arcanado smiled awkwardly, "We will definitely be able to do it beautifully and will never let your company down."

"It's better this way, otherwise our company will inevitably have to support a new gang to replace you."

Natasha issued a warning bluntly, scaring Arcanado so much that sweat broke out on his forehead. He waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, we can definitely do it. Please trust us."

"Then I wish you all the best." Natasha reached out for the wine glass and gestured to Arcanado. Arcanado hurriedly raised his glass, the two clinked their glasses lightly, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Natasha put down her glass, stood up and was about to leave, saying, "The two of us will go to the scene to observe and evaluate when the time comes."

"Oh, okay..." Arcanado was stunned, feeling that it seemed different from the procedures he knew, but Natasha had already walked out. Without time to think about it, he nodded in agreement and followed Natasha and the other person out.

After getting in the car and leaving this shabby neighborhood, Zhan Liu asked the question in his mind only after he saw that the Viper Gang had disappeared from his sight.

"Does this small gang have the ability to bypass S.H.I.E.L.D.'s blockade?" Natasha took off her hood and black contact lenses, took out a mirror, removed her makeup, and wiped off the disguise on her face while explaining:

"Don't underestimate these small gangs. They can survive because they have their own way of survival. I have carefully checked and found that they bribed a few corrupt police officers in a certain block of the New York Police Department to protect them in transporting some contraband. They can't do anything too difficult, but they can still enter and leave the city freely."

"Won't they betray us?" Zhan Liu always felt that the credibility of this kind of people was zero.

"Strictly speaking, anyone could betray us." Natasha poured some mineral water on her handkerchief and wiped her eyeliner carefully.

Her disguise was too complicated and time-consuming, unlike Zhan Liu, who could just use a headband or a hat to cover his third eye.

"But I understand SHIELD's working style. Normally, a small gang that has just been established and cannot prove whether it can stand on the streets is not worth SHIELD's investment of any energy."

"There are countless small gangs like these that rise and fall quickly. If we contact all of them and recruit them as spies, it would be a huge waste of resources."

"Only after the Vipers survive the counterattack of the forces behind Steppenwolf and gain a firm foothold, will they be qualified to become informants for organizations such as S.H.I.E.L.D. or the FBI."

Zhan Liu suddenly realized, "So when the so-called company showed up, the tattooed man named Nado immediately turned into a lapdog. He mistakenly thought we were the force behind Steppenwolf and came here to recruit them, so that they could survive the counterattack and truly take root in these neighborhoods."

"That's right." Natasha twisted her head left and right to make sure there was no residue on her face in the mirror before putting the pile of miscellaneous items back into her bag. "All gangs are dogs raised by organizations of all sizes. There must be masters behind them."

"Big organizations raise big dogs, small organizations raise small dogs, and stray dogs without owners won't live long."

This is easy to understand, but...

"Why can't everyone just not keep dogs?" Zhan Liu asked doubtfully, "If there were no vicious dogs biting people, wouldn't people live safer and happier lives?"

"You really are an alien..." Natasha glanced at him strangely and sighed, "In America, dog owners are human beings, and those who are bitten... are not!"

While chatting, the two carefully avoided various checkpoints on the road and returned to the safe house.

I just made a few boxes of so-called "medicine" using mineral water and test tubes, packed them in a very high-tech suitcase, and waited for action at night.

With nothing to do, I rolled around in bed for a while to kill some energy, and then it got dark.

Natasha said that she had exercised too much and consumed too much physical energy, so Zhan Liu carried two boxes of "medicine" and followed Natasha, doing the job of follower and bodyguard to the end.

We had a smooth journey and arrived at the Wild Wolf Gang. The Mexicans had been waiting here for a long time.

The two men got out of the car, one in front and one behind, and walked towards the Wild Wolf Gang.

However, Natasha stopped after taking a few steps.

Being in the midst of gunfire and bullets for many years has made her very sensitive to danger.

There was something wrong with the atmosphere at the scene.

After noticing that Natasha stopped, Akanado on the opposite side realized that an accident had occurred, so he immediately waved his hand and launched an ambush in advance.

Two huge searchlights suddenly lit up behind Acanado, and the strong beams shone towards Zhan Liu and the other man. Then a group of Mexicans pulled out various automatic weapons from behind and concentrated their fire on Zhan Liu and the other man.

The moment the lights came on, Natasha fell down reflexively and rolled away like a lazy donkey.

Only Zhan Liu hadn't reacted yet. The first thing he did when he was dazzled by the light was to close his eyes, turn his head to the side, and cover his eyes with his hands.

Then there was a burst of gunfire, and bullets poured down on Zhan Liu like rain.

"oops!"

When Zhan Liu heard the gunshots, he realized that he was ambushed. He screamed, quickly threw away the "medicine" in his hand, and lay down.

However, in such a short period of time, Zhan Liu felt that he had been shot countless times.

"Ah... I was shot... I... Hey? I seem to be okay?"

When he was shot for the first time, Zhan Liu was terrified and thought he was going to die.

He screamed and rolled on the ground twice, then suddenly realized that it didn't seem to hurt.

He fumbled around with his hands and grabbed a handful of bullet heads. When he looked closely, he found that all the bullet heads were flattened.

After a closer inspection, I found that the clothes were full of bullet holes, but there was not even a white mark on the skin.

After calming down and looking up again, Zhan Liu discovered that when he concentrated, the trajectories of the bullets were very clearly visible. He even felt that he should be able to catch the fired bullets without getting hurt.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhan Liu reached out and tried it, and the result was just as he expected.

This time, it was Zhan Liu's turn to take the lead.

He looked at Natasha who was pulling out a gun and shooting at the Wild Wolf Gang, laughed, brushed the dust off his butt, stood up with a swagger, and faced the hail of bullets without fear, allowing the bullets to pierce him and then turn into copper pieces that fell to the ground, making a clinking sound at his feet.

“Haha…did you see that?”

"Master is invulnerable to swords and guns!"

"I'm a mutant!"

Zhan Liu laughed loudly and strode towards the Mexican.

He didn't know any martial arts moves, so he just grabbed something with his hands and swung it around like a weapon. Whoever it touched would die, and whoever it touched would be injured. He was like a tiger among a flock of sheep, causing a bloody storm.

Seeing Zhan Liu displaying his prowess, Natasha was also stunned.

Although I had seen Zhan Liu kill a whole car of escorts during a carjacking before, these two situations are completely different.

Being able to avoid being harmed by thermal weapons has already gone beyond the scope of ordinary humans and can be called a "super criminal."

And super criminals just happen to be under the jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Regardless of whether his true identity is exposed this time, it will inevitably attract the attention and tracking of SHIELD.

And somewhere far away, someone who was following the situation here via satellite let out a long sigh and disconnected the satellite connection.
