"What the hell is going on?"
Watching Iron Man Tony Stark flying through the sky on the monitor.
Watching Steve Rogers with a shield in one hand and Mjolnir in the other.
Watching the Silver Moon Knight charge into the crowd and decimate the HYDRA soldiers with a single combo.
Baron Strucker angrily slammed the table, demanding an answer from his subordinates.
Even he had felt the violent explosion in the castle's outer city moments ago.
He'd thought it was an accident in one of the research team's experiments.
But upon hearing the sounds of battle and screams from outside, Baron Strucker quickly rushed to the monitoring room.
Only then did he see this chilling scene through the monitor screens!
Damn it!
Why were Iron Man, the Silver Moon Knight, and that damned Captain America, Steve Rogers, attacking his HYDRA base together?
When had his HYDRA base been exposed, and how did these three know about it?
Moreover, you have to understand, all the soldiers under his command were well-trained HYDRA troops!
They were HYDRA soldiers equipped with HYDRA's proprietary black-tech weapons that even regular forces couldn't defeat!
They were such powerful HYDRA soldiers that just a few thousand of them could easily control all of Sokovia.
But in front of these three guys, they were being slaughtered like young livestock!
Even those weapons powerful enough to destroy strong fortresses were useless against these three!
"Send them all out! Push out everyone and all our technology!"
Watching groups of HYDRA soldiers being massacred, Baron Strucker yelled angrily at his assistant.
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing Baron Strucker's order, the assistant quickly ran out.
Once only Baron Strucker and Dr. List remained in the room,
Baron Strucker, who had been furious and ferocious moments before, instantly regained his composure.
While holding the phone and starting to dial, he said to Dr. List, "List, go to the research team and destroy all data that can be destroyed."
"Just... destroy it like that?"
Hearing Baron Strucker's calm order, Dr. List, who was in charge of leading the research department, felt somewhat reluctant. "Your Excellency Baron, that represents decades of our research results and painstaking efforts!"
"Or else?"
Dialing the most secret number stored in the phone, Baron Strucker spread his hands and said, "That's the Silver Moon Knight. And next to him is Iron Man Tony Stark. Haven't you seen the news?"
"It was reported that when Tony Stark's armor fought against Iron Monger, even missiles couldn't blow it up."
"Not to mention, there's also an enhanced Steve Rogers—who knows where he got that hammer—and he can summon lightning!"
"With these people here, how can we fight them with what we have?"
Seeing Baron Strucker's calm expression, Dr. List opened his mouth but, for a moment, didn't know what to say.
Clearly, just a second ago, you ordered all soldiers to charge out and aimed all high-tech weapons at them—an attitude of desperately wanting to fight them to the end.
But in the very next second, you're ready to give up?
You surrendered way too quickly!
Aren't you going to try holding on a bit longer?
"Don't look at me like that. I'm ready to surrender anyway!"
Seeing Dr. List looking at him with that expression, Baron Strucker spread his hands. "The reason I sent all HYDRA soldiers to attack was just to buy a little time."
"So the research team's data can be destroyed as much as possible."
"Dr. List, don't think about fighting back. Didn't we analyze the Silver Moon Knight's abilities based on news reports?"
"Bullets and missiles pose no threat to him. It feels like he has Superman's body from the comics."
"Plus his abilities... Doctor, one has to face reality. We are no match for these three at all!"
After speaking, looking at the phone that still couldn't connect, Strucker casually threw it on the ground and crushed it under his foot.
"Damn it! I knew that idiot Alexander Pierce was unreliable!"
"He doesn't even know that the Silver Moon Knight teamed up with Iron Man and Captain America to attack our base."
"He didn't even answer the phone at a critical moment. Tell me, why is he commanding the entire council?"
Listening to Baron Strucker's words, Dr. List fell silent for a moment.
Yes, Alexander Pierce is an idiot who doesn't even know the news.
But you're not much better!
Surrendering as soon as you see them knocking at your door?
Damn it, how are you going to face the great Red Skull, Lord Johann Schmidt?
Glancing at the monitoring screen showing the three destructive figures,
especially seeing the Silver Moon Knight rush to the heavy artillery in the bunker and send it flying along with the bunker itself,
Dr. List turned and ran toward the research base.
Can't win. Can't win at all.
Might as well destroy what can be destroyed.
Baron Strucker is ready to surrender without any integrity.
What's the point of him, a mere researcher, holding on?
He had just turned a corner and hadn't run far when
he saw an arrow nailed directly into the wall not far away.
Several red lights on the arrow flickered slightly.
In the next second, a violent explosion instantly erupted.
Several HYDRA soldiers guarding there were blown away by the blast before they could react.
That guy with exposed arms, a quiver on his back, and a bow—he actually knows how to take advantage of the chaos?
Tsk, as expected of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Hawkeye; he really doesn't leave anyone alive!
Fine then!
With nothing more to say, Hawkeye had infiltrated.
Baron Strucker was preparing to surrender, and Hawkeye had sneaked in.
Why should he still care about destroying data?
Run!
But just as he turned to run, the next second, a black gun muzzle pressed directly against Dr. List's head!
"Do you know who I am?"
Looking at the researcher in a white lab coat in front of her, Natasha Romanoff asked, her gun to his head.
"Y-yes... I know!"
With a gun pressed to his head, Dr. List nodded repeatedly. "S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Natasha Romanoff, codename: Black Widow!"
"Since you know me, don't move. I'll kill you if you move!"
Grabbing Dr. List by the collar, Natasha Romanoff pushed him forward and said, "Take me to your secret database!"
"If you dare take a detour, bullets don't have eyes!"
"O-okay... okay! Don't shoot, be careful!"
Faced with Natasha Romanoff's threat, Dr. List didn't have the same backbone Baron Strucker had shown earlier.
Leading Natasha Romanoff, he walked toward the database.
