A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

What makes her stronger than others is not just the amplifying effect of "qi" (vital energy), but also the martial arts she has practiced diligently since childhood.

Bang bang bang!

The two exchanged blows, faster and faster. Gwen was strong, fast, and quick-witted, launching a relentless barrage of attacks.

However, Mai was no pushover either. Facing Gwen's attacks, she fought steadily and methodically, seemingly in perilous situations, but in reality, she maintained order amidst the chaos.

As the saying goes, "one effort is enough, but a second effort is not enough," and Gwen's high-frequency attacks, though fierce, were difficult to maintain for long. Soon, the speed of her attacks involuntarily slowed down.

Mai sneered, "This is the moment I've been waiting for!"

Snapped!

谷蚎

Gwen threw a punch, but Mai, with her explosive speed, slapped it away.

"You've slowed down!" Mai sneered, then leaped up and delivered a powerful spinning back kick to Gwen's abdomen.

Bang!

Gwen was sent flying backwards instantly. Cao Gui, who was in the distance, frowned. Although he had anticipated this situation, he still felt very unhappy.

However, what happened next was somewhat unexpected for Cao Gui.

Suddenly, Gwen bent her wrist and shot out a spider silk that stuck to Ma Yi's right foot.

"Wh...what?" Mai stared blankly at the thing.

Gwen pulled hard from the other end of the spider silk, and Mai fell to the ground instantly, being pulled over by Gwen.

Bang!

"Don't look down on people!"

Gwen gave a cold shout and kicked Mai hard in the chin, causing her head to tilt back involuntarily.

The two passed each other, and then jumped up from the ground at the same time. Gwen rubbed her stomach, which was burning with pain and made her very uncomfortable.

"Pah!" Mai tilted her head and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. That kick just now had caused considerable damage and was quite humiliating.

Cao Gui was slightly surprised. He had underestimated this girl; she had done a good job.

Seeing this, Cao Gui felt relieved. The two were evenly matched, and neither should be able to defeat the other in the short term.

Cao Gui glanced at the map on the wall, took a detour, and arrived at the control panel. On the computer screen, the progress bar showed 78%. If he delayed any longer, the system intrusion would be successful.

Cao Gui unplugged all the data connectors and also put all the computers into his system inventory, effectively cutting off their supply lines.

On the other side, the two girls, having rallied their spirits, started fighting again. Mai pulled out two short sticks, her expression fierce, and swung them around incessantly.

Gwen frowned, her fingers moving rhythmically, the spiderweb poised to be unleashed, but she knew she had to end the battle quickly; her father was still engaged in a gunfight, and she didn't know how things were going.

"Die!" Ma Yi shouted, leaping forward and slashing down with his short stick, the sound of it cutting through the air whistling through the air.

Gwen frowned slightly and retreated instantly. She wasn't carrying any weapons and didn't want to take the hit head-on.

Bang!

A crater was smashed into the reinforced concrete wall on the right, and small chunks of dirt flew out, hitting the two men's faces.

"Drink!" Mai, having missed her first strike, swung her left-hand stick and smashed it down on Gwen's head again.

Gwen dodged the short stick by shifting her feet, and at the same time, she tapped her left hand under her ribs. With a squeak, spider silk shot out and stuck to Ma Yi's left hand.

"What..." Mai had always thought this was a ranged skill, and she was still thinking of using close combat to bring the situation back to the way it was before.

Before she could even react with surprise, Gwen sneered and with a flick of her hand, stuck the spider silk to the wall.

"Bastard! Let me go!" Spider Silk pinned Ma Yi against the wall, and in her anger, she swung her short stick at Gwen.

But with Gwen's spider-sense, he couldn't hit her at all.

Gwen tilted her head to dodge the short stick and shot out another wisp of spider silk, sticking Mai's right hand to the wall.

Not satisfied with that, Gwen threw out two more strands of spider silk, which stuck Mai's legs to the ground as well.

"You'd better just stay put!"

Bang!

Gwen punched Mai in the face, knocking her unconscious.

Seeing this, Gwen stepped up to the wall and quickly walked towards the stairwell, where there were still a few people to deal with.

In the shadows, watching Gwen leave, Cao Gui pulled the woman off the wall. He needed to find a place to interrogate her and find out where Agent 47 was.

Chapter 149 Cao Gui: Why is this girl back again?

Washington, D.C., Trident Building, S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.

"Coulson, have you found the enemy?" Nick Fury turned around and asked anxiously.

Down the steps, Coulson shook his head: "Sir, we haven't even found out their real IP address."

"What!?" Nick Fury was furious... but no hair, no crown, just a dark face.

"Damn it, what have you been doing all this time?" Nick Fury couldn't help but roar.

Generally speaking, he wouldn't do something like publicly berating his subordinates in front of so many people, but with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technology, it's simply illogical that they couldn't even find a few malicious hackers!

“Sir…” Coulson suddenly took a deep breath, but then sighed helplessly: “All the networks they are using come from the federal government, and all the IPs they are using also come from the federal government.”

"We deal with them like immune cells deal with prions; we can't distinguish which ones are harmful and which ones are harmless."

"We don't even have a standard to define it..."

Upon hearing this, Nick Fury felt a headache coming on. In fact, they had received an alert when the transportation system was paralyzed, but this matter was under the jurisdiction of the FBI, not S.H.I.E.L.D.

But what happened next stunned them. In less than half an hour, the FBI headquarters fell, anthrax alerts sounded, financial market networks collapsed, and control of communications satellites was seized.

This whole series of events took less than half an hour. Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. went all out, they couldn't have completed it in half an hour.

"Sir, something's happened!" Coulson roared. "The power exchange hubs in the west and central regions are all down."

"Fuck you..."

"Sir, the Security Council has convened an emergency meeting and requires you to go to the video conference room immediately!" Agent Hill rushed in and said.

Nick Fury felt a chill run down his spine. Luckily, he was bald, or he would have tragically lost his hair.

“Understood,” Nick Fury said. “Hill, keep an eye on the power hub in the east.”

With that, he quickly walked out.

……

New York, Bronx, east bank of the Hudson River.

In a room in the factory, with a thud, a woman named Mai was thrown to the ground by Cao Gui, making a dull thud.

Looking at the dusty floor, Cao Gui shrugged. Anyway, this woman still had "qi" (vital energy), she wouldn't die.

However, the fall woke Mai up. She let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes.

"Shit!" Upon opening her eyes, Mai was startled to see Cao Gui squatting in front of her and instinctively slapped him.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, Ma Yi rolled away like a gourd.

Cao Gui shook his hand, and behind his mask, he curled his lip in disdain. This woman really deserved a beating.

"Are you awake?" a female electronic voice asked. Cao Gui took out a phone and played the question aloud.

Mai remained silent, her face ashen. She could tell that the person in front of her was not the same woman who had been spitting silk before.

"You're courting death!" Cao Gui repeated these words, slowly raising his right foot before suddenly swinging it out.

Bang!

The air exploded instantly, and a pale blue crescent-shaped slash shot out, heading straight for Mai.

Mai's face turned pale with horror, her heart pounding with fear. She instinctively rolled to the ground to dodge the attack.

With a strange "poof" sound, a large hole appeared in the wall nearly half a meter away, completely open from front to back. Mai's forehead was covered in cold sweat; luckily, she dodged quickly.

However, in reality, it wasn't that she was quick to dodge, but rather that Cao Gui deliberately let her go; otherwise, her body would have been torn to pieces long ago.

"Now, can we talk?" The emotionless electronic female voice rang out again, sending a chill down Mai's spine. She dared not show any more contempt for the person in front of her.

“…Okay,” Mai nodded slowly.

Where is Thomas Gabbs now?

"..." Mai hesitated, knowing that if she spoke, all their plans would fail.

Bang!

Cao Gui slammed her fist against the wall behind her head, the sudden sound startling her.

谷迍

“In a warehouse near Woodlawn Cemetery in New York!” Mai said, her face pale.

Cao Gui nodded, expressing his appreciation for her sensibility: "Then tell me, whose subordinate are you?"

Cao Gui continued broadcasting a series of voice messages: "Bot, Alexandra, Sowanda, Murakami, or Madam Gao?"

"!!!"

Mai's expression changed drastically, as if she had seen a ghost. She didn't know who the other four people Cao Gui mentioned were, but she knew her superiors and the organization she belonged to. If she wasn't mistaken, the other four appointments were the other four fingers in the organization.

Cao Gui, hiding behind the mask, raised an eyebrow. It seemed this woman didn't know much about the opposing faction.

"Answer my question, ma'am." The electronic female voice sounded again, and Cao Gui snapped his fingers and said slowly.

"Murakami!" Mai cried out immediately, "Murakami is my superior, he's my teacher!"

"What is your purpose in instigating this incident?"

"No...this was my personal behavior..."

Snapped!
