American comics: Starting from a copycat arms dealer.

Chapter 116 Don’t touch the keyboard!

Carl dealt with this little trouble and was about to leave when Red Queen spoke again.

[Boss, there is one more urgent information. ]

[Our space satellite monitoring and surveillance agents have discovered that the Avengers have made unusual movements.]

[According to intelligence predictions, there is a 97% chance that the Avengers' target is Pierce's secret base! ]

Hearing that the Avengers wanted to attack Pierce, Carl stopped and showed an interested face.

"See where the Avengers are?"

Red Queen projects a holographic screen.

Umbrella agents used reconnaissance drones to monitor that the Avengers were launching a fierce attack on Pierce's base.

Carl touched his chin and sat back in his boss chair, intending to watch the live broadcast of the battle between the superhero and the villain Pierce.
Carl lit a Cuban cigar and puffed on it while watching a real "superhero movie".

In the images sent back by the drone.

Several small explosions suddenly occurred inside Pierce's base, and sporadic gunshots were heard from inside the base.

Then, Captain America and others took advantage of the chaos to split their forces into two groups and launched a fierce attack from both sides of the base at the same time.

The Avengers were naturally easily defeated by the Hydra soldiers who were just ordinary people.

Captain America and his men took only a few minutes to break through Hydra's outer defense line and rush into the base.

Carl could not see the subsequent scenes because the drone was too close and might be discovered.

In the picture, you can also see Tony Stark wearing a gold and red battle suit swooping down from a high altitude, preparing to rush in to resolve Pierce's nuclear threat.

Jarvis suddenly reminded.

[Sir, thermal scan shows that there is a reconnaissance drone at the 11 o'clock position! ]

Iron Man's metal helmet suddenly turned around, staring straight in the direction of the drone, and quickly raised his hand to destroy the drone with a palm cannon.

[The drone signal is lost, and the space satellite monitoring screen is being retrieved.]

Red Queen reacted quickly and switched the holographic image to a satellite perspective.

Carl's eyes didn't waver at all, and he continued to smoke.

From the satellite perspective, thick smoke was billowing from all directions at the Pierce base, and flashes of fire from explosions could be seen from time to time.

At this moment, Red Queen prompted that a major customer's satellite phone had come in.

On the holographic screen, the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

But Red Queen used satellite positioning to pinpoint the source of the call to Pierce's base.

Carl was a little curious. Could it be that old man Pierce came here to ask for help?

With a hint of fun in mind, he let Red Queen answer the phone.

Sure enough, Pierce's slightly anxious voice appeared.

"Mr. Carl, I. Boom. Need. Your. Help. I am willing to pay two hundred tons of Boom Boom Gold as the price for Umbrella's rescue."

The situation on Pierce's side seemed to be very critical. There were loud gunshots and explosions as he spoke.

Carl said slowly, "Mr. Pierce, is your life worth only 200 tons of gold? Aren't you too self-deprecating?"

This profiteer was clearly trying to blackmail him, but Pierce could only hold back his anger and said humbly:

"I just want to ask Mr. Karl for a favor. I am willing to give out all my wealth, five hundred tons of gold!"

When Carl heard the price of five hundred tons of gold for his life, his eyes lit up.

However, for him, it is easy to save a person, but it may not be so easy to get the other person's money.

Needless to say, most of Pierce's wealth is definitely kept in his old base.

At most, a small portion of the wealth will be hidden in other secret places. Therefore, if you want to get Pierce's money, you may not only have to rescue him, but also protect his wealth from being taken away by the Avengers.

After thinking for half a minute, Carl felt that there was no need to go to war with the Avengers for this little bit of gold.

Moreover, this old guy Pierce's behavior is becoming more and more outrageous, and Carl is afraid that he will really start a nuclear war.

Therefore, it is better to eliminate this unstable factor as soon as possible.

So Carl hung up the phone directly, not giving Pierce the opportunity to curse in person.

"The world needs to get back on track. The Avengers defeated the villain Pierce and saved the world. Isn't this a perfect ending?"

Carl muttered to himself.

On the other side, Pierce, who was hung up, really started to curse:
"Fuck you! You greedy profiteer, I curse that you will be sent to hell by the Avengers sooner or later. I will wait for you in hell, you damn vampire."

at this time.

The central command center of the base where Pierce is located.

Rumlow suddenly rushed in from the door holding a submachine gun with white smoke still coming out of the muzzle.

He walked quickly to Pierce and whispered anxiously:

"The base defense has been completely lost. The situation is extremely critical. Sir, we have to retreat!"

Pierce turned around, his eyes full of determination, and ordered with a grim look:
"Initiate the base's self-destruct sequence immediately, and kill the Avengers here before leaving!"

The technicians who could sit in the command center were all Hydra's most loyal soldiers, so they executed the order to start the base's self-destruction program without hesitation.

Then, Rumlow, along with two Hydra soldiers, escorted Pierce into the secret door of the headquarters.

This is a secret passage leading to the outside world.

All the technical personnel in the headquarters, including the soldiers, shouted in despair: "Long live Hydra!"

Everyone continues to stick to their posts.

One minute later.

The door of the command center was kicked open, and the Hydra soldiers who had been prepared opened fire wildly with assault rifles.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

Countless bullets hit Captain America's vibranium shield, but apart from some small sparks, not even a trace was left.

Captain America swung out his shield and skillfully used the frisbee throwing trick to knock down a dozen Hydra soldiers with guns.

Immediately afterwards, many technicians took out the pistols from their waists and shot at Captain America fearlessly.

"Boom!"

Captain America kicked hard, and his figure nimbly moved among the various coverts, knocking down the enemies one by one in no time.

Only when all the enemies were lying on the ground did Captain America put his shield upside down on his back and glanced at a line of English words on a technician's computer screen.

Even though he rarely uses modern computers, Captain America can read.

He pressed a few keys on the keyboard to try to abort the base's self-destruction program while pressing the headset communicator.

"Pierce isn't at the command center, where are you Tony? They've activated the base's self-destruct sequence!"

At this moment, another person came in through the headquarters door and shouted in a terrified tone:

"Don't touch the keyboard, it's a good thing I'm here, otherwise you almost killed us!"

The person who came in was Tony Stark wearing the gold and red Mark VII suit.

He had just dealt with the land-based nuclear missile launcher in the base and arrived at the headquarters in time.
