Let's go."
Natasha called out, and Steve followed, puzzled, into the building.
The next second, they were already on the ground.
Looking at the surprised S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents around him, Steve subconsciously looked up at the elevator, then at Shadow.
"Amazing!"
Shadow smiled, looking at the Agents who were surrounding them, and said, "BOSS said that although we are here to rescue someone this time, we can't just leave after saving them. After all, this is our War Alliance's first battle, and we need to show the War Alliance's demeanor."
"So, we're going to fight our way out? Just as I wished!" Chen Haoran chuckled, revealing a wicked smile as he looked at the Agents who were running over. Then, he slowly bent down, placing both hands on the ground.
With a low roar, flames surged from his hands into the ground, roaring towards those Agents.
Boom!
After a loud bang, those Agents all lay on the ground, and two scorched marks appeared on the ground.
"How was it?" Chen Haoran asked proudly, turning his head.
"Far worse than BOSS." Shadow struck him down unceremoniously, and Chen Haoran instantly deflated.
Chapter 0169: War Alliance Rises to Fame
In the distance, the bridge was gradually being sealed off. A fighter jet circled above the bridge, its weapon system activated, aimed at Steve and the others!
Behind them, more Agents swarmed out, forming a encirclement and gradually closing in.
"We're surrounded."
Steve said in a deep voice.
"Surrounded? I don't see it?" Shadow glanced around, saying indifferently.
"Cease resistance, or we will open fire!"
A warning came from the plane. Steve held his shield, ready to act, but Natasha stopped him. Steve looked at Natasha in confusion, and Natasha smiled, shaking her head and saying, "Steve, this is our mission!"
"But…" Steve frowned slightly. In this situation, it wouldn't be easy to force their way out, especially since this was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters. Not letting him intervene, and still intending to force their way out, wasn't that a bit too overconfident?
"You, or me?" Natasha turned to Shadow and asked.
"Hey, I can do it too!" Seeing that they weren't including him, Chen Haoran, eager to show off, yelled out in frustration.
Natasha said to Chen Haoran, "Leave those behind to you," and then looked at Shadow.
"You… no problem?" Shadow asked in confusion.
Natasha smiled charmingly, said nothing, and charged towards the S.H.I.E.L.D. plane.
Seeing Natasha charge over, clearly unwilling to cease resistance, the fighter jet immediately opened fire, bullets swarming towards Natasha.
Da da da, da da da.
The sound was deafening.
Natasha showed no intention of dodging; instead, a psionic field abruptly formed around her. The bullets struck it and were deflected, unable to injure Natasha, let alone break through the psionic field.
"This feeling is really not bad!"
Natasha's lips curved into a smile. Although she wasn't worried about handling such a small situation even without psionics, the feeling with psionics was completely different—a sense of invincibility!
No matter how wild your bullets are, they can't harm me in the slightest!
In a flash, Natasha had reached the underside of the plane. She raised her wrist, a rope secured to the plane, and Natasha, nimble as a cat, easily climbed onto the plane. Immediately, she gripped her two guns and fired wildly at the propeller.
Before long, the left propeller suddenly caught fire and exploded, causing the plane to lose balance.
Natasha, with a calm expression and graceful posture, leaped from the plane, landing effortlessly. The moment she landed, the plane suddenly exploded…
"Cool!"
Su Zhan's voice suddenly rang out. Natasha turned around and found that he had already arrived beside her. "You could have done it with just a flick of your hand, yet you made me work so hard."
"Hard? This is child's play for you, isn't it? Besides, don't you think you looked really cool just now?" Su Zhan said with a grin.
This must be her charm.
If she were just an ordinary woman, she would only be Natasha, not Black Widow, Natasha!
"Alright, I actually think so too." Natasha stood on her tiptoes and kissed Su Zhan's lips, then smacked her own lips. "Chocolate flavored? Actually, I think vanilla tastes better!"
"I'll try that next time." Su Zhan said with a tilted head and a smile.
At this moment, Shadow, Steve, and Chen Haoran had already arrived. Although there were many pursuers behind them, Chen Haoran's performance truly impressed Su Zhan. While he hadn't reached the level of Human Torch, or even the fire control power of Pyro, he was much stronger than when he started. Initially, it was just a spark, but now it was almost a prairie fire.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel were now somewhat bewildered. Most of them hadn't expected S.H.I.E.L.D. to capture Captain America, and even less did they expect so many people to come and rescue him. Moreover, despite deploying fighter jets and countless Agents, they couldn't do anything to the other side; in fact… they suffered heavy casualties.
And HYDRA, who knew the inside story, was now somewhat undecided whether to continue taking action. They hadn't expected Su Zhan to interfere, and even less did they expect Su Zhan's War Alliance to be so strong.
Shadow, Chen Haoran, Natasha.
With just three people, Su Zhan himself didn't even have to act to easily rescue Captain America.
No… this wasn't a rescue; it was a taking away.
And the War Alliance wasn't just those three… One can imagine how strong the War Alliance's true power would be?
It seems they need to be taken seriously from now on.
"It looks like they probably won't dare to stop us. Shall we go?" Natasha looked at Su Zhan and asked.
Su Zhan's gaze was fixed on the deep lake nearby. He knew there were three Aircraft Carriers beneath this lake. Should he destroy them now? Or perhaps not. Anyway, these Aircraft Carriers definitely wouldn't be effective, and destroying them now wouldn't serve much purpose. It wouldn't be too late to act once this thing emerges and everyone knows its threat. Firstly, only by letting people know you saved them will they be grateful to you. Su Zhan didn't want to be a Lei Feng, secretly doing good deeds. By letting people know there's danger, and letting them know that the War Alliance saved them, they will be grateful, remember the name War Alliance, and increase the War Alliance's influence.
Secondly, this also provided an opportunity to continue improving the combat experience of War Alliance members, and to cultivate their sense of belonging and honor to the War Alliance—killing two birds with one stone.
"Let's go."
Su Zhan said with a smile, and Shadow beside him had already opened a portal directly.
The group entered the portal, and as the portal disappeared, they left just like that, leaving behind a ground full of fallen Agents, a ruined fighter jet, and that useless large iron gate at the exit.
Not long after this incident, although it wasn't known throughout the city, at least those with some influence and power knew that the War Alliance had rescued Captain America from S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters. For a time, the name War Alliance was thoroughly remembered.
This operation could be said to be perfect. It not only rescued Captain America but also used S.H.I.E.L.D. as a stepping stone, establishing the War Alliance's reputation and truly bringing the War Alliance into the public eye…
