Ch. 131 Fierce Battle
🕑 Added 2023-11-06 16:00:07 +0000 UTCNeither Bucky nor the Hydra soldier in the Zaku battle armor had anticipated encountering such formidable enemies here.
Although Hydra had obtained some information about the laboratory, they couldn't possibly know everything that was happening inside.
This secret base had connections with S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, but the experimental data within the base wouldn't be transmitted to headquarters immediately.
Unless significant results were achieved in the experiments, the base wouldn't send back all the data.
With his metal arm and enhanced body, Bucky managed to temporarily withstand the attacks from the symbiote agents, not worrying about being torn apart for the moment.
In comparison, the Hydra soldier in the Zaku battle armor was having a much tougher time.
Two symbiote agents had set their sights on him simultaneously.
The symbiote agents' sharp claws repeatedly scraped against the Zaku battle armor, sparking flames and leaving noticeable scratches on the armor's surface.
In just over ten seconds, the Zaku battle armor had accumulated over ten visible wounds.
What was worse, as the armor got damaged, its defensive capabilities further declined.
If it weren't for the machine guns and small missiles mounted on the armor, these two symbiote agents would need just ten seconds to completely tear apart the armor.
As Bucky and the Hydra soldier struggled to fend off the relentless attacks from the symbiote agents, two Zaku battle armors appeared in the corridor behind them.
The other two Hydra squads had finally arrived.
Seeing Bucky and his companion under the fierce assault of the symbiote agents, the newly arrived Hydra soldiers didn't hesitate and immediately started supporting them.
The two intact Zaku battle armors rushed forward like heavy trucks at full speed, colliding with the two symbiote agents and sending them flying.
Subsequently, these two Zaku battle armors began releasing a barrage of firepower.
With the reinforcements joining the battle, the Zaku battle armor that had nearly been torn apart by the symbiote agents earlier began to counterattack.
Three Zaku battle armors simultaneously unleashed their firepower, filling the corridor with intense gunshots and explosions.
With the help of the other Hydra soldiers, Bucky finally managed to shake off the symbiote agent that had been relentlessly attacking him. He dodged a grenade launcher shot from one of the Hydra soldiers, then frantically fired back at the symbiote agent that had almost killed him.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Even before Russell and Bakshi had reached the corridor, they could hear the continuous explosions echoing through it.
Upon hearing the ongoing explosions, Russell and Bakshi hastened their pace.
Several dozen seconds later, they finally arrived at the corridor.
Seeing the intense firefight before them, especially the three symbiote agents who bore a striking resemblance to Venom, Russell frowned slightly.
He wasn't surprised that S.H.I.E.L.D. had created symbiote agents.
If Nick Fury didn't discover the symbiote dragons, that would be surprising. Once he did and understood the symbiotes' capabilities, he would definitely weaponize them.
If he found out about the symbiotes' abilities and didn't weaponize them, then he wouldn't be Nick Fury.
What Russell was truly concerned about right now wasn't the three symbiote agents currently enduring intense gunfire. It wasn't even Hawkeye Barton, Natasha, and the others in the distance. It was the appearance of these three symbiote agents.
Seeing these three symbiote agents that looked like they had been carved out of the same mold as Venom, he felt like he was seeing imitators.
Fine, imitate away!
But at least try to imitate just a tiny bit.
Although the three S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were bonded with symbiotes, it was evident that they had no understanding of the true use of symbiotes.
At this moment, they had transformed into monstrous shapes, fighting like beasts.
This wasn't the fighting posture symbiotes were meant to have!
It was simply an insult to the symbiotes!
Seeing the three symbiote agents enduring the firepower from the Zaku battle armors and seeking opportunities to attack like wild animals, Russell decided to take action himself.
He reached the side of one of the Hydra soldiers and removed the flashbang grenades from his gear.
Once he had the flashbang grenades, he didn't hesitate. He pulled the pins and threw them towards the symbiote agents in the distance.
Boom!
The flashbang grenades exploded loudly.
Although the flashbang grenades couldn't harm the symbiote agents, the noise from the explosion could induce a certain stress response in them.
In gaming terms, the flashbang grenades could briefly stun the symbiote agents.
Russell used the symbiote's ability to temporarily close off his vision and hearing. Ignoring the effects of the flashbangs, he dashed towards the three symbiote agents.
Even though he couldn't see or hear, it didn't affect his ability to launch an attack on the symbiote agents.
Although closing off his vision and hearing might prevent him from dodging attacks from others in the first instant, he was completely protected by the symbiote Serum.
Even without Serum, his body could withstand most conventional bullet attacks.
With Serum, he had even less to worry about.
Although he hadn't transformed into the superhero Serum form, he was still enveloped in the symbiote's all-encompassing protection.
Whether it was the uniform on his body or the appearance of Captain America, they were all transformations brought about by the symbiote.
Although they didn't look the same, there wasn't much difference between his current form and the symbiote agent.
