I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 139 The Winter Soldier

If they had known it was this simple, Hydra would have sent someone to infiltrate the house long ago and steal the Iron Monger's head from the corner.

Why wait until now, when he and the Winter Soldier led a large group of people to ambush the Joker, only to unexpectedly discover that the Iron Monger's head was lying quietly in the corner of the room.

Just as "Crossbones" Locke Rumlow picked up the Iron Monger's head, intending to leave with it first...

Suddenly, a series of deafening gunshots and intense gunfire erupted downstairs.

"Um?"

Hearing the gunshots from downstairs, Crossbones frowned and tightened his grip on Iron Monger's head.

The loud gunshot sounded like the firing of an M500 revolver.

It seems the clown has returned.

As Hydra's top agent planted in S.H.I.E.L.D., "Crossbones" Rock Rumlow's abilities are by no means lacking.

Even from two floors away, he recognized the distinctive sound of the M500 revolver almost immediately upon hearing the gunshot.

"Heh, M500?"

A sneer appeared on Locke Rumlow's lips as he played "Crossbones".

While the M500 is powerful, its magazine capacity is far too small for a special agent.

Humans are not like those resilient wild beasts.

A bullet fired from a Gelgoog is just as deadly as a bullet fired from an M500. So why sacrifice magazine capacity for a paltry five bullets?

On the contrary, because of that limited ammunition capacity, you have to keep changing bullets, which adds a lot of variables.

After shaking his head dismissively, Crossbones turned to the Winter Soldier, whose face was half-covered by a mask and whose eyes, as calm as still water, remained unmoved. He ordered, "I'll take Iron Monger's head back first. You go and kill that clown."

After nodding expressionlessly, the Winter Soldier, carrying a load of weapons, walked towards the third floor where the fierce fighting was taking place.

Meanwhile, "Crossbones" Locke Rumlow, accompanied by two of his men, headed towards the roof of the small building.

He planned to take advantage of the fight between the Winter Soldier and the Joker to enter the adjacent building from the rooftop and then use the opportunity to leave.

Crossbones is more interested in the Iron Monger's head than in dealing with the Joker.

He didn't want the Iron Monger's head to be damaged in the slightest while fighting the Joker.

Just as Crossbones was about to leave, a powerful bullet slammed into the stairs in front of him with a loud bang, creating a large crater in the concrete staircase.

The splashing cement shards hit Crossbones' face, making his cheeks sting.

"I haven't even properly entertained you yet! Why are you leaving already? Is this... a sign of disrespect?"

As he watched the bullet whiz past him, Crossbones knew it was a warning from the Joker.

Otherwise, given the clown's marksmanship, that bullet might not have simply hit the stairs in front of him.

Although Crossbones knew perfectly well that Joker Erin might have held back with that shot, he still felt an overwhelming surge of anger and lingering fear.

Because Erin's bullet almost hit the Iron Monger's head.

Given the power of the M500 bullet, who knows how many parts of the Iron Monger's skull it would damage, how much harm it would cause, and how much difficulty Hydra would face in repairing the skull later?

Thinking this, Crossbones turned to the Winter Soldier, who had already reached the stairwell, and coldly ordered, "Kill him!"

"yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the Winter Soldier walked to the stairwell, raised his shotgun, and fired two shots into the stairwell below.

With the roar of gunfire, multiple small pellets from the shotgun shattered instantly, covering a large area of ​​the corridor.

This widespread, all-encompassing attack forced even the clown, Erin, to dodge in advance.

"trouble!"

After avoiding the range of shotgun fire, the clown Erin, who was hiding behind cover, twitched his finger.

The venomous threads of resentment, imbued with spirituality, coiled around the Winter Soldier standing at the top of the stairs like a nimble serpent.

"Get down here!"

With a sudden, forceful pull, the Winter Soldier, standing at the top of the fourth-floor staircase, was dragged down the stairs by Erin.

The Winter Soldier, caught off guard and pulled down the stairs, showed no sign of panic.

While rolling around, he took the opportunity to pull the pin on a grenade and threw it in the direction from which the pull was coming from.

"Go back!"

Before the grenade could hit the ground...

The venomous threads of resentment wrapped around the Winter Soldier contracted and then quickly wove into a small net in mid-air, covering the grenade.

With a forceful flick, he sent the grenade flying backward toward the stairwell on the fourth floor.

"boom!"

It was accompanied by a violent explosion.

The fourth floor of the small building, which had already suffered damage, was blown open with a large hole.

Meanwhile, the Crossbones group on the fourth floor were also covered in dust and dirt from the grenade explosion.

······

Take this opportunity.

Arryn the Clown flashed forward and rushed in front of the Winter Soldier with a unique gait.

Seeing the Joker rushing towards him, the Winter Soldier, who had just gotten up from the ground, raised his mechanical left arm and threw a punch at Erin in front of him.

The Winter Soldier's mechanical left arm is a high-tech product of Hydra.

It can not only greatly enhance the Winter Soldier's strength, giving him mechanical strength far beyond that of ordinary people, but it can also serve as a small shield to help the Winter Soldier withstand incoming firepower.

Faced with this punch brimming with mechanical power.

Erin showed no intention of taking the punch head-on, easily dodging the fierce wind from the punch with a simple sidestep.

Arryn's eyes met the Winter Soldier's eyes directly.

[A dejected stare]

A mental shock, like a thunderclap, instantly exploded in the Winter Soldier's mind.

Even his brain, which had been controlled and brainwashed by Dr. Zola, was blasted open by the terrifying mental impact of the [Despair Gaze].

"You're still not dizzy?"

Seeing the Winter Soldier sway slightly on the ground, attempting to struggle to his feet, Erin was slightly surprised, then fired another [Dejected Gaze] at the Winter Soldier's head.

If one shot doesn't work, then two will do.

In any case, what Erin lacks now is not the mental strength of the [Disappointing Gaze].

"Snap!"

With another [Disappointing Gaze], Arryn blasted a huge hole in the Winter Soldier's mental control.

This immediately made his eyes look blank and confused.

Take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Meanwhile, Arryn was also constantly mobilizing his mental power to launch a fatal blow against the Winter Soldier.
