"Go to hell! You bastard!"

The "eye of the storm" in the trio raised his hand and fired an air cannon.

But the Winter Soldier had vanished the instant before he swung his arm.

He jumped down, moving as fast as a black cheetah.

Without adjusting his posture in mid-air, the Winter Soldier's mechanical left arm slammed directly into the container wall, using the force to change direction and avoid the continuous bombardment from the eye of the storm.

It landed and tumbled.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two muffled gunshots rang out.

A cloud of blood mist burst from the eye of the storm's thigh, and he screamed as he knelt down.

The sonic girl's amplifier was precisely shattered by the bullet, and the huge feedback noise made her cover her ears and roll on the ground.

The Winter Soldier stepped over the Eye of the Storm without expression.

Without hesitation, without wasting words.

He raised the gun, aimed it at his forehead, and was about to pull the trigger.

"Drink up—!!"

In that instant, a huge black shadow crashed in with a whooshing sound.

"Bang!"

The shot missed, grazing the woman's scalp before hitting the concrete and sending sparks flying.

Iron Arm Joe.

This muscular man, who usually only shows off his biceps in front of the camera, now resembles an enraged bull.

He clenched his right fist and slammed it hard against the Winter Soldier's gun.

The immense force smashed the M4A1 carbine into pieces, which were scattered all over the ground.

The Winter Soldier's eyes flickered slightly, and he instantly made a tactical retreat, creating distance.

He looked at Iron Arm Joe.

The man whose left arm he had broken and who had been groaning in pain was now completely healed, and even looked thicker than before.

An empty syringe lay at my feet.

T-VEX.

That was a T-VEX that Iron Arm Joe had painstakingly acquired in the VGD store using hero points he had saved for two whole months, plus the Black Friday first-purchase discount.

I originally intended to keep it to save my life, or to use it during the next performance review.

"Fuck you! You freak with that mechanical arm!"

Iron Arm Joe was panting heavily, white mist coming out of his nostrils, a sign that his body temperature was rising rapidly.

"Do you know how expensive this thing is?! Huh?!"

He roared as he charged out, his footsteps cracking the concrete beneath his feet.

"I'm going to rip your arm off and stuff it up your ass!!"

With the help of T-VEX, his speed and strength increased dramatically.

The punch, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, went straight for the Winter Soldier's face.

Instead of taking the hit head-on, the Winter Soldier leaned back slightly, pivoted on his heels, and executed a perfectly executed sambo evasive maneuver.

The force of the punch grazed past his mask.

The Winter Soldier's mechanical left arm shot out instantly, grabbing Iron Arm Joe's wrist and attempting to deflect the force using a joint lock.

Not moving.

"He's gotten stronger," the Winter Soldier concluded.

"Get out of here!!"

Iron Arm Joe roared and swung his hand back.

The immense force sent the Winter Soldier flying, crashing into a shipping container five meters away with a loud bang, leaving a large dent in the metal.

"Hahahaha! See that?! That's power! That's Walter's power!"

Iron Arm Joe felt invincible. The omnipotent feeling brought on by the drug intoxicated him, and he felt no fear whatsoever.

He strode toward the Winter Soldier, ready to deliver the final blow to this damned killer.

However, when he walked up to the container...

no one.

Only that large, sunken pit.

"Where is that damn masked man?!"

"Damn it! Come out here, you coward!"

Joe frantically smashed everything around him, trying to force the enemy out.

"call out--"

A flashbang grenade rolled to his feet.

"What?!"

Upon hearing the sound, Iron Arm Joe hurriedly turned around.

"boom!"

The bright light and loud noise instantly robbed him of his sight and hearing.

"Aaaaaah! My eyes!!"

Iron Arm Joe covered his eyes and flailed his fists wildly, each punch piercing the air but hitting nothing.

The Winter Soldier hung like a ghost in the shadows atop the shipping container. He stared coldly at the crazed Iron Arm Joe below.

As Hydra's most perfect weapon, he never fights unprepared battles, nor does he ever confront a monster in a drug-induced frenzy head-on.

The Winter Soldier removed a magnetic mine from his tactical vest; it was originally intended to blow up tanks.

He did not attack Iron Arm Joe.

With a flick of his wrist, the landmine arced through the air and landed not far away next to the sonic woman who was trying to get up.

"Beep—beep—"

The red light is flashing.

"No!! Amy!!"

Iron Arm Joe has gone mad; that's his goddess.

Upon hearing the sound, he instinctively rushed over.

"Don't move!!"

He lunged at the sonic woman, covering her with his body, which had been enhanced by the drug.

"BOOM!!!"

The explosion engulfed the two figures.

Iron Arm Joe's back was blasted to pieces, but the regenerative abilities provided by T-VEX had begun to visibly repair the wounds.

"Cough cough, damn it..." He spat out a mouthful of cement debris, picked up the sonic girl, and rolled behind cover.

"Don't go out... Joe... he'll kill us..." the sonic woman cried out.

"I know! I know!" Iron Arm Joe glanced at the watch on his wrist.

The medication will remain effective for another ten minutes.

And that damned assassin never even fought him head-on.

"Da da da da da—"

M4 carbine bullets rained down from above, pinning them down and making it impossible for them to lift their heads.

And as soon as Iron Arm Joe leaves, his teammates will be attacked immediately.

The Winter Soldier kept moving and changing positions, using the terrain, traps, and psychological tactics to slowly whittle down the remaining time of the enraged bull.

Two minutes.

five minutes.

Eight minutes.

Iron Arm Joe's breathing grew heavier and heavier, the sense of invincible power began to fade, and a deep-seated emptiness gradually emerged.

"Damn it... the drug's effects are wearing off..."

Iron Arm Joe felt his knees go weak, and his strength was receding like the tide.

He staggered and almost fell to his knees.

In the shadow of the shipping container, the Winter Soldier stepped forward.

He noticed the prey's weakness.

"Click."

He changed to a new magazine, and the robotic arm gripped a tactical knife.

Harvest time.

The Winter Soldier leaped down from the height, and this time, instead of dodging, he charged straight at the exhausted Joe Ironarm.

"Ugh—!!!"

The roar of an engine drowned out the thunder.

A blinding beam of searchlight descended from the sky, enveloping the Winter Soldier.

The wind blows.

A VOT Nightingale fighter jet, "independently developed" by VOT, hovered at low altitude, with a huge "VGD" logo printed on its fuselage.

"Put down your weapons!!"

An authoritative command came from the loudspeaker.

The Winter Soldier looked up and squinted.

They did not stop.

Instead, he sped up, changing his thrusting motion to a throwing motion, aiming straight for Ironarm Joe's eye socket!

"clang!!"

A red, white, and blue shield flew in a graceful arc, precisely deflecting the deadly dagger.

Immediately afterwards, the shield bounced off and smashed into the Winter Soldier's chest.

With a swing of his mechanical arm, the Winter Soldier forcefully deflected the shield.

But this also cost him the opportunity to attack.

"Thump!"

A tall figure jumped off the fighter jet and landed directly between Winter Soldier and Iron Arm Joe.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Steve Rogers caught the rebounding shield, slowly stood up, and the star on his chest stood out prominently under the searchlight.
