The bar was closed and cleared, and the two Winter Soldiers stood outside the door, refusing to allow anyone else to enter.
In Hell's Kitchen, ordinary rejection won't stop the curious onlookers, but a counter-terrorism squad tactical suit certainly will.
Submachine guns, assault rifles, grenades, flash bombs...
If that's not enough, the anti-material sniper rifle placed at the door of the bar should be fine.
Don't ask, asking is for SHIELD to do its job, and others should avoid it!
What, you said you are also from SHIELD and have a very high level. How come you didn’t know there was an operation in Hell’s Kitchen?
Don't be stupid, who are you? Your director level is not even high enough!
In the bar, the tables and chairs were moved to clear a spacious space. Four Winter Soldiers surrounded Luke Cage and fought with him in a team-based attack.
When the use of weapons and equipment is not allowed, a single Winter Soldier is no match for Luke Cage, even if they have experienced secondary or even triple enhancement.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Luke Cage's abilities seem to be specially designed for being beaten. In addition to powerful strength, he also has enhanced muscle tissue and bone density. Whether it is cold weapons such as knives or close range routines, Great defense against pistol shots and even blunt force blows.
Coupled with the self-healing ability that is three times that of ordinary people, he has good endurance and considerable battery life.
No wonder Bucky is eyeing him. This ability is specially designed for the team. He is the best melee tank. If he is recruited into the Winter Soldier Legion and trained carefully, he will become a capable member.
Bucky had planned this at first, but then he thought about it and decided to take it slow.
The reason is very simple and very touching.
The Winter Soldiers are all strengthened people. They are all very energetic and have endless physical strength after daily training. It is okay to serve as mercenaries on alien battlefields. There is no place for these powerful people on the earth to use.
If tough men gather together, trouble will inevitably arise if things continue like this.
This is indeed the case. There are already more than 300 chat groups among the one hundred or so Winter Soldiers on Earth. Some time ago, a collective protest broke out because soap was replaced with shower gel.
so terrible!
In order to stop this bad trend, Bucky decided to take advantage of the sandbag... ahem, while Luke Cage was not one of his own, and seize the time to take advantage of it, otherwise it would be difficult to attack him in the future.
Bucky never doubted whether Luke Cage was willing to join. He could tell by looking at the stupid face of the other party counting the money that there was no problem.
The above is the antecedent of the incident, and the consequences are very effective. After ten days of repeated beatings, many Winter Soldiers have agreed to use shower gel to bathe.
As for Luke Cage, although he is showing signs of fatigue from continuous battles, Bucky believes that as long as he adds money, he will definitely be able to survive.
The day he couldn't stand it anymore was the time to formally invite him to join the team.
Bang!
A Winter Soldier rushed forward, hugged Luke Cage around the waist, lifted him up and threw him heavily to the ground.
Then, two Winter Soldiers came together and suppressed Luke Cage's body, making it impossible for him to stand up.
Four Winter Soldiers surrounded Luke Cage, punching and kicking him mercilessly. The Winter Soldiers knew very well how terrible his defense was. It could beat ordinary people to broken fists and feet, and put them free. Not even a bruise could be seen on his body.
Bang! Bang! Bang————
Life-sacrifice collision, hell thrust, explosive rolling, tickling...
Facing the invulnerable and powerful Luke Cage, the four Winter Soldiers showed no mercy, using their fighting skills to kill each other and using sweat to collide with their muscles, gradually breaking the deadlock.
Luke Cage lived on the streets in his early years and learned all his fighting skills by himself. Because of his own abilities, these skills are only suitable for him and cannot be used in actual combat if others learn them.
In contrast, the Winter Soldiers' killing skills honed on the battlefield were flexible, versatile, and extremely ruthless. They were more than one step ahead of him, and once they were surrounded, it would be a tough battle.
Facts have proved that without qualitative change, numbers are still king.
Luke Cage was unable to defeat four opponents with his two fists. He was knocked down by the Winter Soldiers who gradually became familiar with his routines and worked as a team. They barely protected their heads and endured the rain of punches and kicks.
"Wait a moment!"
Bucky called a stop when he saw this. He could see that Luke Cage's performance tonight was not as good as before. Maybe it was because he couldn't keep up with the nutrition of ten shots a day, or maybe the Winter Soldiers were familiar with his fighting style and figured out how to deal with it. strategy.
But this is not what Bucky wants. It is not the time for Luke Cage to fall yet. He has to continue fighting.
"Stand up and keep fighting."
"..."
Luke Cage lay on the ground with his back stretched out, raising his hand to wipe the nosebleed from the corner of his mouth. No more, he really couldn't fight anymore.
Snapped!
Throwing a stack of beautiful knives on the ground, Luke Cage looked sideways and glared at the inhumane Bucky. He was so miserable that he still used money to attack.
Is this a problem that money can solve?
Snapped! Snapped!
Another two stacks of beautiful knives fell to the ground.
Luke Cage sighed, this is really a problem that can be solved with money.
Somehow, my exhausted body gained strength again.
He swore that it was not that he was desperate for money, but that the money was too much. His brain refused, but his body gave in.
Body: I can’t do it anymore!
Brain: No, you can!
"Hohohoho——"
After counting the bills, Luke Cage put the knife on the bar, turned around and let out a roar to show his power.
The four Winter Soldiers were also unambiguous. Two of them rushed forward. After the two detoured, they planned to repeat their old tricks and beat Luke Cage down again.
Luke Cage knew well the horror of being surrounded. He rushed out with all his strength, ignoring the heavy punches on his body. He hugged a Winter Soldier in front of him, lifted him high and threw him to the ground.
Cast on earth! Continuous blows with the face-hand knife! Exploding kick to the lower plate!
The three Winter Soldiers were eliminated with three moves. Facing the last one, Luke Cage ran out of strength and was knocked to the ground by his shoulder. The two rolled several times. Finally, Luke Cage barely recovered some strength and used Ground biceps lock.
He used his pectoralis major and biceps to create an absolute realm and clasped the Winter Soldier's neck, making him breathless and give up.
A brutal victory against four!
Luke Cage got up out of breath, came to the bar, picked up a bottle of wine and drank it in one gulp.
"Substitute, you four!"
After hearing Bucky's order, Luke Cage turned around quickly and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, man, I am a human being, not a machine. You have to let me rest for a while."
"Why, do you want more money?"
Luke Cage's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Fcuk, this is really not about money!"
"you sure?"
"..."
Luke Cage was silent when he heard this. If Bucky said that, then he was really not sure.
Jingle Bell----
At this moment, the bar door opened and the wind chimes rang.
Luke Cage turned around and looked around, his eyes widening immediately. There were beauties, or two.
One had blond hair and the other had red hair. They had voluptuous figures and impeccable faces and temperaments. He swore that he had never seen a more beautiful woman in his entire life.
Russell carried Natasha and Yelena into the bar. Looking at the small, ordinary decoration, but slightly warm layout, he felt that rough gentlemen also have delicate hearts.
Seeing Russell hugging each other, and all of them were top beauties, Luke Cage suffered a 10,000-point blow in his heart. The bachelor said sourly: "Three guests, this place is reserved, you... Hey, how did you get in?" ?”
There are people standing guard outside the door, and it is impossible for other people to be let in.
"Sir!" X9
Including Bucky, all the Winter Soldiers held their chests high and their heads raised, their hands behind their backs, standing meticulously like a javelin.
Luke Cage looked at this scene in surprise. He was very sensible and didn't say anything. He had many questions, but he knew that curiosity killed the cat. The less you know about some things, the better.
Russell found a chair and sat down, raised his hand slightly, and Yelena stepped forward to take off his coat.
"Sir, why are you here?"
Bucky asked nervously, lest Russell have a task assigned to him. Under normal circumstances, the task is not given to Natasha and Yelena, but to him specifically, which means that the task is a trap.
It’s not dangerous, it’s just a trap!
"Bucky, do you still have Howard's tape in your possession?"
Bucky's heart thumped, and he didn't dare to take a breath: "Yes, I have been keeping it, and there are still five years left before the date of sending it."
"No, I'll send it out tomorrow."
"..."
Bucky's face turned gloomy. He heard that Howard's son had followed his father's footsteps, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and playing with women. Miraculously, he invented steel armor.
It's not that he is afraid. He is proficient in using the Kree Empire's 'universal weapon' warhammer, but he still doesn't look down on a mere Iron Man.
The key is that Howard is alive and well, why should he bear this unclear blame?
Bucky felt that Russell did it on purpose, but he didn't dare to say it and nodded to accept the order.
He smiled apologetically and said, "Sir, why would you go there in person just for this trivial matter?"
"Why, can't I come out and get some fresh air?"
"No, I mean, for such a small matter, just send someone to inform you."
"That makes sense!"
Russell nodded: "Since you said so, I can't come here in vain. I will give you a task and do it beautifully."
"..."
Bucky's mouth twitched when he heard this. He knew it would be like this, and tentatively asked which superhero was the blame this time: "Sir, whose father are you filming a toothbrushing video this time?"
"Don't take a video. Let's be more direct this time. You can lead someone to beat him up."
"Uh, beat me to death?"
"You're overthinking it. I have no enmity with him...well, it's enough to beat him until three-quarters of him is dead."
