Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths.
In American culture, gangs are an integral part of society and cannot be banned, so they cannot understand the fact that all gangs on the other side of the ocean live with their tail between their legs.
As a gangster, of course you have to make your reputation big so that you can recruit more brothers to join!
The Crips Gang, the Bloods Gang, the Hand, the Ten Rings Gang... all have to have a resounding name, even if the gang only has a hundred or ten people.
The one Natasha found was called the Viper Gang, which was a small, low-level gang.
This is a small gang mainly of Mexican origin. It has been established for less than three months. I don't know where Natasha got the information and found it here.
The lair of this kind of small gangster is basically in a bar or nightclub. A group of people get together and make a fortune when there is business. When there is no business, they eat and drink, play with women and suck leaves, just hanging out all day long.
You absolutely don’t dare to spread out, otherwise you won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Small gangs also have the advantages of small gangs. They can rise and fall, and maybe they will all die in street conflicts tomorrow. There is no need to worry about leaking information.
No matter which world he was in, this was Zhanliu's first time at a bar.
The environment here is smoky, no different from the kind of place in the movie where a fight will break out within three minutes.
Resisting the pollution of various noises in his ears, as well as the smell of cheap perfume, leaf smoke, hormones and sweat that spread everywhere in his nose, Zhan Liu followed Natasha and squeezed to the bar.
In this unfamiliar environment, it is better to let a senior agent like Natasha take charge of everything. As a rookie who has not yet entered the society, Zhan Liu is better to watch and learn more.
Natasha was indeed very familiar with all this environment. She waved her arms, pushed everyone in front of her away, and strode forward.
After Natasha broke off the third finger of the little gangster who was too blind to tease her, Zhan Liu and the others finally met the leader of the Viper Gang, but this guy was not very friendly and surrounded them with a group of people. stand up.
The leader of the Viper Gang is a strong man who looks like The Rock. He has the Mexican national flower Dahlia tattooed on his left chest, covering half of his chest. There is a king cobra tattooed on each of the two thick arms. The snake's body is wrapped around the arm. The snake's head is over the shoulder, staring from back to front. It looks penetrating.
A group of people behind him held knives in their hands, their clothes were half-open, and they deliberately exposed the guns at their waists. They looked at people sideways, as if they were going to fight if they disagreed.
Zhan Liu looked at this image, which was like something often seen in a movie lens, smiling from behind and preparing to watch the fun.
With this bunch of scum, they can't even touch the Black Widow, so there's no need to worry about suffering a loss.
However, the much-loved fighting scene did not appear, and Natasha's words made the leader of the Viper Gang change his attitude.
"Steppenwolf's original business is now owned by your Viper Gang, right? Are you still going to do it?"
"Do it! Of course we do it!" The tattooed man who was the leader of the Viper Gang was stunned for a moment, then he beamed with joy, bowed his waist, and stretched out his hand inwards, "Let's talk about it in detail."
Seeing that their boss was like this, the group of people behind him certainly knew that a sponsor had sent money.
No one has trouble with money, not even gangsters.
A group of people dispersed to both sides with a crash, leaving a passage in the middle.
Natasha held her head high, strode forward, and walked straight in.
Zhanliu, who didn't see the excitement, followed him angrily, looking like a follower.
Behind the bar, there was a large and messy living room. There were several naked women lying on the sofa and on the carpet. Looking at their confused looks, they were obviously addicted to drugs.
The tattooed man waved his hand, and a group of boys drove the women out with beatings and kicks, and then politely asked Natasha to take a seat.
Natasha looked around. The room was dirty and all kinds of suspicious substances were everywhere. She really couldn't sit down.
She looked at it and felt that only the curtain seemed to be relatively clean, so she reached out and pulled down the curtain, placed it on the sofa, and then Shi Shiran sat down.
As for Zhan Liu, he turned his eyes around and couldn't see a clean place, so he simply gave up. He held his hands in front of him and stood behind Natasha, like a bodyguard.
Not to mention, he is nearly two meters tall and has muscles all over his body. He does look like a bodyguard.
The tattooed man sat opposite Natasha, and the younger brothers were standing or sitting behind him, and they didn't look weak.
A boy brought clean wine glasses and drinking utensils from the bar in front, and then the tattooed man filled the wine himself, placed it flatteringly in front of Natasha, and introduced himself with a smile on his face.
"This is a good wine that I have collected. I rarely drink it. I only bring it out when I have distinguished guests. Try it."
"I am Arcanado, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, and I have the final say in these streets now."
"What the Steppenwolf could do before, our Wild Wolf Gang can also do. Don't worry, there will definitely be no problems."
Arcanado assured Natasha, patting his chest.
The purpose of running a gang is to make money. Of course, you can't treat the donors who bring money to your door as roughly as you treat the cash machine.
They have different statuses and different needs, so their attitudes will naturally be different.
Natasha didn't even look at the glass of wine, without any pretense on her face, she said coldly: "Our company doesn't care who you are or what gang you are, as long as you can complete the work we assigned you. No matter how much you say, It’s useless, in the end it still depends on the actual results of your work.”
"Don't worry!" Arcanado didn't feel dissatisfied at all with Natasha's indifference and contempt, and was still smiling, "Whether it's materials for human experiments, spraying, destroying chemicals, or recycling test products, we can do it. Do!"
Natasha nodded noncommittally and said nonsense: "Tonight, a batch of potions need to be sent outside the city for large-scale testing. If you can complete this task well, the company will be responsible for Steppenwolf's business in the future. All handed over to you."
Arcanado was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, I will personally lead the team to administer the drug tonight. I will be absolutely unaware and will not let anyone discover the problem. Even if we are discovered, our Wild Wolf Gang will naturally send someone to take the blame. Your company will definitely not be implicated.”
"But the settlement fee for this guilty person..." Arcana stopped mid-sentence and looked at Natasha slyly.
"Don't worry, the company has always been generous with money, otherwise you wouldn't go out of your way to kill Steppenwolf, right?" Natasha sneered and stabbed him.
Arcanado smiled awkwardly, "We will definitely be able to do things beautifully and we will never let your company down."
"It's best this way, otherwise our company will inevitably support new gangs to replace you."
Natasha issued a warning rudely, which made Arcanado sweat on his forehead. He waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, we can definitely do it well. Please trust us."
"Then I wish everything goes well." Natasha reached for the wine glass and motioned to Arcanado from afar. Arcanado raised the glass hurriedly, the two touched it lightly, and then drank it down in one gulp.
Natasha put down her wine glass and stood up to leave. She said in passing, "The two of us will go to the scene to observe and evaluate."
"Oh, okay..." Arcana was stunned for a moment, feeling that it seemed different from the procedures she knew, but Natasha had already stepped out and didn't have time to think about it. She nodded in agreement and followed behind her. Natasha and the two sent them out.
After getting in the car and leaving this shabby neighborhood, and seeing that no one from the Viper Gang could be seen, Zhan Liu asked the question in his mind.
"Can such a small gang have the ability to bypass SHIELD's blockade?"
Natasha took off her hood, took off her black contact lenses, took out the mirror, removed her makeup and wiped off the disguise on her face, and explained:
"Don't underestimate these small gangs. If they can survive, they naturally have their own way of survival. I checked carefully and found that they bribed a few gangsters in a certain neighborhood of the New York Police Department to protect them in transporting some contraband. It's too difficult. You can’t do things like that, but you can still enter and exit the city freely.”
"Won't they betray us?" Zhan Liu always felt that the credibility of this kind of thing was zero.
"Strictly speaking, anyone can betray us." Natasha poured some mineral water on the handkerchief and wiped her eyeliner carefully.
Her disguise is too complicated and time-consuming. Unlike Zhan Liu, she only needs to get a headband or a hat to cover her third eye.
"But I understand SHIELD's work style. Normally, this kind of small gang that has just been established and has no way to prove whether it can gain a foothold on the street is not worthy of SHIELD's investment."
"There are so many small gangs that are spinning up and down. It would be a waste of resources if we contacted all of them and used them as informants."
"Only after the Viper Gang has withstood the counterattack of the forces behind Steppenwolf and established a firm foothold will they be qualified to become informants for organizations such as SHIELD or the FBI."
Zhan Liu suddenly realized, "So when the so-called company appeared, the tattooed man named Nado immediately turned into a pug. He mistakenly thought that we were the forces behind Steppenwolf who came to recruit them, so that they could survive safely. The counterattack has really taken root in these neighborhoods.”
"That's right." Natasha twisted her head left and right to make sure there was nothing left on her face in the mirror before she put a bunch of scattered items back into her bag. "All gangsters are dogs raised by large and small organizations. They all must have an owner.”
"Large organizations raise big dogs, while small organizations raise puppies. Unowned wild dogs will not live long."
This is easy to understand, but...
"Why can't everyone stop raising dogs?" Zhan Liu asked doubtfully, "If there were no vicious dogs biting people, wouldn't people live safer and happier lives?"
"You are indeed an alien..." Natasha glanced at him strangely and sighed: "In the United States, dog owners are human beings, and those who are bitten... are not!"
The two of them were talking nonsense while carefully avoiding various checkpoints on the road and returned to the safe house.
I randomly made a few boxes of so-called "potions" with mineral water and test tubes, and then packed them in very high-tech suitcases, waiting for the night's action.
With nothing to do, I rolled on the sheets for a while to kill some energy, and then it got dark.
Natasha said she exercised too much and exhausted her physical strength, so Zhan Liu carried two boxes of "potions" and followed Natasha to complete the job of follower and bodyguard.
The journey went smoothly and we arrived at the Wild Wolf Gang. The Mexicans had been waiting here for a long time.
The two got out of the car, one after the other, and walked towards the Wild Wolf Gang.
However, Natasha suddenly stopped after taking a few steps.
Living in the rain of bullets all year round makes her very sensitive to danger.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere at the scene.
After noticing that Natasha had stopped, Arcanado 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 of light were directed at Zhan Liu and the others. Then a group of Mexicans pulled out various automatic weapons from behind and focused their fire on Zhan Liu and the two.
The moment the lights came on, Natasha's body reflexively fell down, and she rolled away like a lazy donkey.
Only Zhan Liu didn't react. The first time he was hit by the light, he closed his eyes and turned his head to the side, reaching out to cover his eyes.
Then there was a loud sound of gunfire, and bullets rained down on Zhan Liu's body like rain.
"oops!"
Zhan Liu only realized that he was ambushed when he heard the gunfire. He screamed, quickly threw away the "potion" in his hand, and lay down.
However, in such a short period of time, Zhan Liu felt like he had been shot countless times.
"Ah... I was shot... I... Huh? It seems okay?"
Zhan Liu was frightened when he was shot for the first time, thinking that he would die this time.
He screamed and rolled on the ground twice, and then suddenly realized that it didn't seem to hurt.
He groped up and down with his hands, grabbed a handful of bullets and took them out. When he looked carefully, he found that the bullets had been flattened.
Upon further 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 those bullets were very clearly visible. He even felt that he should be able to catch those fired bullets without being injured.
After Zhan Liu hesitated for a moment, he stretched out his hand and tried it, and the result was just as he expected.
This time, it's Zhan Liu's turn to do his best.
He looked at Natasha who was drawing a gun and shooting at the Wolf Gang, laughed, patted the ashes on her butt, and stood up swaggeringly, facing the hail of bullets without fear, letting the bullets stick to his body. , and then turned into copper pieces and fell to the ground, making a tinkling sound at the feet.
"Haha...did you see it?"
"Uncle is invulnerable!"
"Uncle is a mutant!"
Zhan Liu laughed loudly and rushed towards the Mexican with large strides.
He didn't know any martial arts moves, so he just grabbed something randomly with his hands and swung it like a weapon. He would die if he touched it, or get hurt if he touched it. It was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, causing a bloody storm.
Seeing Zhan Liu showing off his power, Natasha was also stunned.
Although Zhan Liu had seen Zhan Liu kill a car's escorts during a carjacking before, the two situations were completely different.
Being able to avoid being harmed by thermal weapons is beyond the scope of ordinary humans and can be called a "super criminal".
And super criminals happen to be under the control of SHIELD.
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 paying attention to the situation here through satellite sighed deeply and cut off the satellite connection.
