Chapter 221 Machine Guns Are Also Pistols

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump...

A dull thud came from below, and several soldiers patrolling the corridor of the white presidential suite stopped in their tracks.

What was that sound?

Before they could figure out what was going on, the floor beneath their feet suddenly disappeared, revealing several neat square pits.

The soldiers only had time to utter a short cry of alarm before they plunged straight into the pit.

Immediately afterwards, a hand grabbed the edge of the hole, and Du Mu, carrying a diamond pickaxe, leaped up, followed closely by Mu Lang and Eagle Eye, who nimbly vaulted onto the corridor.

Only Wade, with his upper body bent over the edge of the floor, kicked his butt several times before finally managing to pull himself up with some groans.

After regaining his footing, he dusted off his uniform and turned to look at the pickaxe in Du Mu's hand.

"Dude, aren't you mixing in a bit too many elements? How did my world get in here?"

"Don't worry about the details."

With a flick of his wrist, Du Mu's diamond pickaxe vanished.

"What's our plan next?" Hawkeye asked in a low voice.

"Find the Red Skull, and then... Neizout!"

Du Mu made a throat-slitting gesture.

The other three didn't understand the word, but the meaning was crystal clear.

Twilight Wolf frowned: "The problem is we don't know exactly where he's hiding; this place is too big."

"That's easy."

Du Mu's lips curled up slightly, and a delicate hummingbird-shaped mechanical object appeared in his hand without him noticing.

[Equipment: Hummingbird Spy Camera (Releases a hummingbird-shaped spy camera to automatically track and visually mark designated targets)]

He raised his hand and lifted it up, and the mechanical hummingbird gracefully flapped its wings and silently glided into the depths of the corridor, disappearing into the shadows around the corner in the blink of an eye.

Within seconds, a red humanoid silhouette lit up in Du Mu's field of vision. It was the Red Skull marked by the mechanical hummingbird, clearly located on the east side of the top floor of the building.

"Found it, come with me."

Du Mu led the way and quickly moved toward the stairs, with the others following.

But just as they passed through a horizontal corridor, they heard orderly footsteps around the corner ahead, and a patrol of fully armed soldiers came towards them, their guns all pointed at them.

Clearly, their whereabouts have been discovered.

"Fire!!"

The captain gave the order in a stern voice, and the soldiers did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and flames instantly spewed out!

Da da da da da—!

Countless bullets rained down like a storm.

Hawkeye reacted extremely quickly, using an invincible roll to dodge behind a decorative stone pillar. Bullets chased after him and hit the pillar, sending marble shards flying everywhere.

Du Mu was a beat slower, taking more than a dozen shots before leisurely hiding behind another pillar, with half his body exposed, mainly to feign compliance.

As for Wade and Twilight Wolf, they seemed to have no dodging skills at all. They stood still and took a whole magazine of bullets, then fell to the ground and started to slack off openly.

After lying down, Wade even had the leisure to reach out and scratch his butt, then wriggled and adjusted his position to make himself more comfortable.

Eagle caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, his lips twitched slightly, and ignoring the two bastards, he shouted at Du Mu.

"Hey, Du Mu, I've heard you're quite the marksman. How about a match with my archery?"

Before he could no longer see, he heard Du Mu use only two guns to single-handedly take down Kingpin's gang of henchmen, hitting their heads with every shot, clearly a sharpshooter.

Now that his eyesight has been restored and his strength has returned to its peak, he is itching to challenge Du Mu.

He had absolute confidence in his archery skills. Although Du Mu was very strong, Hawkeye didn't think he would lose to anyone in the field of archery.

"OK."

Du Mu replied indifferently.

"Then I'll use a bow and you use a pistol, let's see who kills more and faster."

Hawkeye grinned and launched the first attack.

Taking advantage of a brief lull in the enemy's fire, he swiftly leaned out, drew his bow, and nocked an arrow in one fluid motion.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Three purple-tailed arrows shot through the air, precisely piercing the gaps in the protective shields covering the necks of three soldiers, killing them instantly.

But this is just the beginning.

Hawkeye's movements are fluid and natural, from drawing arrows from the quiver, nocking the string, drawing the bow, to releasing them, it's almost an instinctive, continuous rhythm.

He doesn't even need to aim for a long time; with the powerful senses he's honed over the years, he can determine the enemy's location and movements.

Arrows flew in succession, each one precise and deadly. Enemies in the corridor fell one after another as the bowstrings whirred; not a single arrow missed its mark.

As an ordinary person without superpowers or money, Hawkeye's ability to infiltrate the Avengers, a superhero team, naturally indicates that he possesses extraordinary strength.

Soon, Hawkeye had taken out nearly half of the soldiers in the corridor.

It wasn't that he didn't want to keep killing, but that he was out of arrows...

As everyone knows, Hawkeye is just an ordinary person who plays with a bow; without a bow, he's just an ordinary person.

Eagle Eye paused, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.

I should have brought two more quiver arrows.

"It's my turn."

Du Mu chuckled, and suddenly a Gatling gun with a cold, metallic gleam appeared in his hand.

The six gun barrels began to spin, emitting a deep, terrifying hum.

Da da da da da—!

A deafening roar instantly filled the entire corridor!

The flames spewing from the muzzle were a dazzling azure blue, looking incredibly cool. Countless bullets swept towards the soldiers in front of them, and spent casings clattered all over the ground with a constant, crisp sound.

The soldiers had no time to dodge or retaliate; they were torn to shreds by the ferocious fire, and their bunkers collapsed one after another.

After a round of gunfire, there was no one left standing on the other side.

Du Mu released the trigger, and the Gatling gun's spinning sound slowly stopped, with wisps of smoke rising from the barrel.

He looked at the dumbfounded Hawkeye and chuckled, "Looks like you lost."

"You fucking call this a pistol!?"

Eagle's face darkened as he stared at the still-smoking Gatling gun.

Du Mu slung the Gatling gun over his shoulder, looking completely matter-of-fact: "A gun that can be operated with one hand, how can it not be a pistol?"

Hawkeye:

'

""

After the soldiers were cleared away, the two thugs lying on the ground slowly got up.

Without pausing, the four quickly passed through the corridor filled with thick smoke and the stench of blood, and continued to advance to the upper levels.

They encountered several patrols of soldiers along the way, but these ordinary people were no match for them and were dealt with in no time.

Of course, it was mainly Du Mu and Eagle Eye who were dealing damage, while Twilight Wolf refused to make a move and just kept taking hits.

As for Wade, he's a complete slacker, so let's not even talk about him.

Soon, they arrived at a heavy metal door on the top floor, where Red Skull was located, according to the markings on the hummingbird camera.

Du Mu took out the master key and easily opened it.

The room was dimly lit, with only a few pale spotlights shining down from above.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge transparent display case in the center of the room, designed like a museum display case. Inside, various superhero relics are neatly arranged, and from the damaged marks, one can imagine the ferocity of the battle.

Among them are many items familiar to Du Mu, such as Iron Man's gold and red armor and Spider-Man's mask.

Thor's feathered helmet, the Hulk's purple shorts...

Well, the other heroes' relics are all damaged to some extent, but the Hulk's big shorts are completely undamaged, not even a loose thread, making them truly valuable for collectors.

Above the large display case, there is a smaller, independent display case containing a round shield with the Stars and Stripes, which is Captain America's shield.

It was wiped spotless, reflecting a cool light under the spotlight, and its placement was particularly eye-catching, as if it were the center of the entire room.

Anyone could see how much the owner of this room valued Captain America; calling him a true fan wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"Oh, my poor little spider."

Wade looked at the Spider-Man mask in the display case, covered his face and let out a dry wail with ups and downs, but unfortunately the crying was too fake and too forceful, and you could feel the lack of sincerity in his acting even through the mask.

But this affected sadness actually affected Hawkeye and Twilight Wolf, both of them looking somber.

After all, there are quite a few relics of their old friends on the display case.

"Hawkeye, Wolverine, these are rare guests. Are you here to visit your fallen comrades?"

A hoarse, cold voice came from the depths of the shadows to the side.

Everyone turned to look and saw a figure draped in a black robe slowly walking out of the darkness in the corner and stepping into the pale white circle of light.

The person's face was completely exposed under the light, with a horrifying blood-red skin, deep-set eyes, and prominent cheekbones. The whole face looked like a dried-up skeleton specimen, the kind that wouldn't need makeup to go out on Halloween.

[NPC: John Schmidt]

Codename: Red Skull

[Favorability: -50]

[Evaluation: Leader of Hydra, Captain America's number one toxic fan, mastermind behind major events, and gatekeeper of the Soul Stone]

This is none other than the first leader of Hydra, Red Skull.

What's particularly striking is that beneath the Red Skull's black robe is a familiar blue uniform, with a bright white five-pointed star on its chest—it's none other than Captain America's classic battle suit.

However, the clothes looked loose and awkward on Red Skull, with droopy shoulders and a slouching waist, completely failing to support the upright and proud silhouette that the character should have. After all, he didn't have Captain America's full chest muscles and American-style perky buttocks.

"Red Skull!"

Hawkeye practically spat out the name through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing with fury.

He knew very well that Red Skull was one of the masterminds behind the attack fifty years ago, and that he had a mountain of blood debts that Red Skull had to pay.

Twilight Wolf glared menacingly at Red Skull.

The person who directed Mysterio's operation was none other than Red Skull.

Red Skull swept his gaze over the two enraged men, finally settling on Twilight Wolf, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips.

"Wolverine, why don't you just stay in your rural fields and wait to die? What are you doing dragging this old body all the way here? If you just stayed in your doghouse, you might be able to get through the rest of your pathetic life."

The wolf gritted his teeth and pressed, "Where is Mysterio?"

"Do you think I'd tell you?"

Red Skull sneered, completely ignoring the murderous intent surging in Twilight Wolf's eyes, and turned to look at the other two.

"I do know Deadpool."

The red skull scrutinized Du Mu closely: "But who are you? Your name doesn't seem to be on my list."

Du Mu chuckled and said, "My name is Du Mu. In a way, we should be considered colleagues."

"Du Mu, this guy is Hydra," Eagle Eye reminded him from the side.

"Yes, I'm a Hydra too."

"???"

Hawkeye looked completely bewildered: "But didn't you say you were a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent?"

Du Mu honestly replied, "I am a Hydra spy infiltrated within S.H.I.E.L.D., I am both an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and a Hydra agent."

Hawkeye:

'

'

So I've been spending all this time with a Hydra agent!?

Hawkeye's expression stiffened, his voice hoarse: "Your world's S.H.I.E.L.D., it couldn't have been destroyed by Hydra, could it?"

Given the strength Du Mu has demonstrated, he cannot imagine how S.H.I.E.L.D. in another world would be able to withstand Hydra.

Du Mu shook his head: "In my world, S.H.I.E.L.D. has long been completely infiltrated by Hydra. A large portion of its employees are Hydra's people. Who would destroy their own company?"

Hawkeye's lips twitched: "Does Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., know about this?"

"He's no longer the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. He's now in charge of Hydra's operations within S.H.I.E.L.D. He's constantly outwitting the current director, trying to figure out how to get more funding for Hydra without being detected."

Hawkeye:

'

'

He suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in another world.

"That's enough!"

Red Skull suddenly roared, interrupting their conversation.

Damn it, I'm still standing here, and these two are already chatting away, completely ignoring me!

Red Skull's face was horribly grim: "I have no interest in your ridiculous jokes. Whoever you are, you all have only one fate today: to add a few more spoils to my collection."

'

Whoosh—!

Before he could finish speaking, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

Hawkeye starts with zero frames, the bowstring vibrates, and a purple-tailed arrow shoots straight at Red Skull's forehead like lightning!

However, the Red Skull did not move, standing still as the purple-tailed arrow pierced his skull.

Strangely, there was no sound of flesh being pierced.

The purple-tailed arrow seemed to pass through a phantom, piercing straight through the red skull's head and embedding itself in the wall behind it, its tail feathers still trembling.

The red skull's figure gradually blurred, turning into a swirling green mist that slowly dissipated in the same spot.

"This is... Mysterio's ability!"

Mulang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he clenched his fists.

He knew this scene all too well; it was this indistinguishable illusion that had blinded all his senses, leading him to kill almost all of the X-Men with his own hands.

"Heh, did you think I'd be completely unprepared?"

Red Skull's hoarse voice came from the other end of the room.

His figure reappeared not far away, and beside him, several more figures of various shapes appeared.

"You fell into my trap the moment you stepped in."
