Chapter 863: This is an unethical fight. How about we find a place to rest for a while?
Danny's face twitched slightly, "So that means we can only take the stairs?"
"Yes, we can't split our forces, otherwise we'll be easily defeated one by one." Coulson said solemnly, "If we take the stairs, we can fully utilize our manpower, which is safer, and we can ensure that no one will slip through the net by checking layer by layer."
Having said that, naturally no one would have any objections.
Matt, who had the best hearing, took the lead, and the others followed closely in his footsteps.
Shouhehui paid great attention to this underground passage. Although it is vertical and there are not even a few floors, many energy-saving lamps were installed and the lighting conditions are quite good.
Everyone walked carefully in the empty cave. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Matt suddenly waved his hand and everyone stopped.
"What's going on?" Luke asked. "Is there an ambush?"
Matt nodded solemnly, "There are a lot of people around the corner, and they are all armed."
"I'll draw the fire, and you guys find the right opportunity to counterattack."
"Wait, Luke." Frank stopped him and said, "I have a better idea."
"Uh... you don't seem to be invulnerable!" Danny looked at him suspiciously, "The bulletproof vest may not be reliable at this time."
Frank rolled his eyes, then placed the briefcase he was carrying on the ground, unzipped it and took out several grenades.
"Gulp! Isn't this a bit too enthusiastic?"
The old man with the stick glanced at him with disdain, "To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself. If more people die in Shouhe, fewer of our people will die. Don't you even understand this?"
"No, it's a misunderstanding." Danny waved his hand, trying to save face, "I'm just worried that this will block the road."
"No." Frank said affirmatively, "I have observed that they built this passage very solidly. A simple explosion will not cause much impact."
"Stick, Coulson, get your men ready."
After saying that, Frank pulled out the safety rings of several grenades and immediately threw them around the corner.
boom! boom! boom!
There was a loud explosion, and the entire floor shook slightly.
"Open fire." The old man with the stick gave the order immediately, and Coulson also waved his hand, signaling his men to open fire.
Da da da!
Flames and gunshots were heard from the darkness. Dense bullets were fired back and forth, and people were shot dead from time to time.
However, the Shinchun Society and the Hand Society brought elites, and with Luke taking the initiative to act as a meat shield, the losses were much smaller than those of the Hand Society.
The group advanced gradually and steadily, and after a few minutes, all the enemies on this floor were wiped out.
But looking at the corpses all over the ground, everyone felt extremely depressed.
"I want to vomit." Jessica said, trying hard to suppress her nausea.
"These are people from Sowanda," said the old man with the stick, "and there may be people from Madam Gao as well."
"The damage is almost to one-fifth." Coulson said in a deep voice, "If there are a few more waves of guards like this, we may not be able to reach the deepest point."
"Not too many." The old man with the stick said firmly, comforting everyone, "We acted at a good time. If we attack, the enemy will be caught off guard. They won't have time to gather all the people in New York."
"Let's keep going!" Frank felt an itch on his back, which was the urging of the Holy Dragon in his backpack.
On the way back, they encountered several waves of guards as expected.
At first, it was just a fight with guns, but as they descended deeper and deeper, the firepower of the Shinjunkai became more and more fierce, and they used grenades, machine guns, and even RPG rocket launchers.
Rumble!
Loud explosions were heard from above, mixed with dense gunfire and screams, and a large amount of earth and rocks poured down, but Alexandra and others at the bottom didn't care much.
"Sowanda, it seems your people can't stop us!" Botu looked up at the shaking ceiling and said with a relaxed smile, "They are getting closer and closer."
"You can't blame me for this." Sowanda said unhappily, "The tall people are also up there, aren't they also losing ground?"
"This is the difference in weapons." Madam Gao said, leaning on her cane, "The arms shipped from Sowanda are only firearms, but S.H.I.E.L.D....seems to have brought rocket launchers."
"I heard you. It's not that I didn't try hard, it's that the enemy is too shameless."
Botu shrugged. "What do you think their expressions will be when they see us after going through so much trouble to come here?"
"Despair." Murakami sneered, "The people above are just cannon fodder, used to consume their strength. The real elites of the Hand and the Society are all in this last floor."
Hearing this, Alexandra also smiled with ease and turned her head to look behind her.
Erica stood there like a stone statue, and behind her were hundreds of fully armed elite ninjas, each of whom could fight with those so-called superheroes. They would definitely not be able to stop them if they rushed over in a rush.
After a long time, Matt and others, the Shinchunkai and S.H.I.E.L.D. people finally reached the large flat floor at the deepest part of the cave. It was spacious and flat enough, and dozens of thick stone pillars supported the ceiling, making the space very stable.
At this moment, everyone looked exhausted. Several battles made them particularly embarrassed. Not only did they consume a lot of weapons and ammunition, but they also suffered a lot of casualties.
Coulson and Stick Man tacitly agreed not to bring the wounded down, but instead assigned some people to escort them up. After all, the upcoming decisive battle was not suitable for them to participate.
"Thank you, everyone, for sending the Iron Fist. We've been waiting for so long!" Alexandra smiled proudly, and looked at Danny Rand as if she wanted to swallow him up.
"The situation is not good!" Coulson said solemnly, "There are only about thirty of us left, but there seem to be hundreds of people on the other side."
"They are all ninjas." Matt seemed to recall some bad memories, "And they are even stronger than the ones who chased me. I can hardly feel their breath."
"This may be the last defense of the Hand and the Society." Frank took off the backpack behind him and threw it casually in a dark corner. "The war will be over if we defeat them."
"It's time to fight to the death." Danny looked at the wall covered with runes behind Alexandra and the others, and felt his blood boiling. He wished he could have a hearty battle.
Coulson blinked blankly and said dumbly: "The point is that we are very likely to be unable to defeat them."
"Don't think too much about it now." Jessica said calmly, "Whether we can win or not, we have to win first."
"Yes, that's true!"
"In fact, it may not be impossible to discuss it." Madam Gao stepped forward and said, "The Hand has no intention of becoming an enemy of SHIELD, and there is no overt conflict between the two sides.
Everything that happened above can be regarded as a misunderstanding. As long as SHIELD withdraws now, I guarantee that you can leave this building safely."
"That sounds good." Coulson laughed dryly, then looked at the wall covered with runes, "But I'm here for what's behind that wall.
The main responsibility of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to deal with extraordinary events, and the things behind the wall obviously exceed the scope of "ordinary things". S.H.I.E.L.D. must ensure that they do not fall into the hands of people with evil intentions, so as to avoid causing any damage.
How about this? As long as the Hand and the Society are willing to give up what's behind that wall and sign an agreement never to touch it, I'll take my people and leave now."
Madam Gao frowned, "Nothing to discuss?"
"No room for negotiation, this is the bottom line."
"I'm sorry, Phil Coulson, you made a wrong decision." Sowanda spread her hands and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. is huge, but it's still too young compared to the SHIELD."
"maybe!"
"Kill everyone except Iron Fist!" Alexandra gave the order, and many Shouhekai ninjas immediately raised their guns and prepared to shoot.
"Get ready." The old man with the stick shouted loudly upon seeing this, and the ninjas behind him immediately stepped forward, bringing out weapons of great destructive power that were no less powerful than those of the enemy.
hiss!
Looking at the gun barrel shining with cold light, the five leaders of the Shouhe Society all gasped.
Damn it! They were mentally prepared to know that this group of people had no moral principles, but they didn't expect them to be so unethical.
It would be fine if a dozen people were carrying rocket launchers, but the Punisher actually carried a Gatling gun. That's too much.
"Despicable, so despicable." Sowanda gritted her teeth, her eyes full of anger.
"You are the despicable ones!" Frank laughed and scolded with disdain, "Who said we can't use weapons?"
"But these weapons..."
"I prepared this specially for you. I didn't want to use it on the way down here, so we still have enough ammunition.
The only thing we need to worry about is the strength of this cave, but it should be able to withstand a round of bombing."
"Shoot." Mrs. Gao looked grim and gave the order to open fire directly.
The ninjas in the hand and the society did not hesitate and pulled the trigger.
At the same time, the old man with the stick waved his hand and said, "Fire."
A dozen ninjas carrying RPGs stepped forward, and flames came out from the tail of the missile as it whizzed past.
boom! boom! boom!
clatter! clatter! clatter!
The sounds of gunfire and explosions mixed together, and the scene suddenly became like a raging fire.
The Shinjunkai ninjas and SHIELD agents all hid behind the cover at the first moment, and Matt and others reacted not slow at all. After all, the Shuuhekai had the advantage in numbers, and even if they had the advantage in firepower, they could not withstand too much loss.
The same was true for the ninjas of the Tewakai, but there were too many of them and they didn't hide fast enough, so many of them were taken away by a dozen shells.
The only one who was working hard on the scene was Frank. He pulled Luke in front of him to cover him. The barrel of the Gatling gun in his hand was spinning wildly, and the flames that spewed out were like the scythe of the god of death, reaping the lives of the hands and ninjas.
"This is too fucking awesome!" Danny stared at the scene in amazement, and couldn't help but write a big "admiration" to the Punisher in his heart.
Coulson was also shocked, and finally understood why Nick Fury had such a high opinion of Frank.
Just based on his stance of one man blocking a thousand, he might be stronger than Natasha.
When Mrs. Gao and others saw this scene, they were so heartbroken that they almost bled.
These are the elite ninja soldiers they trained with great difficulty. The death of one would be a huge loss, but now so many have died, and their deaths were extremely hasty. It's impossible not to feel sad!
As Frank emptied the Gatling gun's bullets, the first round of gunfight came to an end. Seeing that he seemed to be preparing to throw a grenade, the Stick Man and the people from the Hand and Peace Society hurriedly called a halt.
"Frank, that's enough," Matt yelled. "If this continues, this place will collapse."
Hearing this, Frank reluctantly threw away the machine gun in his hand.
Alexandra and the other four came out and stared at each other gloomily.
"For everyone's safety, how about we decide the outcome the ninja way?"
"I have no objection." The old man with the stick directly pulled out the two samurai swords on his waist. "To be honest, I'm worried that I can't kill you with guns!"
Matt, Luke and the others also took up their positions. They knew that if there was another round of firefight, this underground palace might be destroyed, and everyone would be buried in this dark cave.
"Well..." Coulson raised his hand weakly, "I know it would be a bit disappointing to interrupt at this time, but the people I lead are good at using guns, so..."
"Shut up." Alexandra scolded, "Don't be afraid of dying together, just try it."
Coulson opened his mouth in dismay, then turned to look at his remaining less than ten men, and made a decision that went against his principles, "How about... we go up and find a place to rest for a while, and take care of the logistics."
"You are wise, sir."
Everyone:......
In full view of everyone, Coulson led his men towards the exit. Both the Hand and the Shinchun Society tacitly did not stop them.
However, no one noticed that Coulson left a monitor before leaving.
......
Gaius Divination House.
Aaron and Hela sat opposite each other, with a chessboard placed between them. The black and white chess pieces moved slowly on the board, fighting each other.
“Wizard chess, not difficult.” Hela looked at the black pieces surrounding the white king on the chessboard, a smug smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.
"Haha! You're right. It's not difficult." Aaron agreed reluctantly.
If Hela hadn't smashed the chessboard four times in a row, making the cost of winning much higher for him, he wouldn't have put so much water in. He had never realized that the Goddess of Death had such a strong desire to win!
boom!
The white king was torn to pieces by the black knights and pawns, heralding the victory of the goddess of death.
"I won."
"I will never play wizard chess again." Aaron said with some relief, "Her Highness Hela's chess skills are really beyond my reach!"
“Tsk!” Hela curled her lips in disdain. “I’m not stupid. I know how I won.”
"and you..."
“I just want you to lose, is that okay?” Hela raised her eyebrows and said confidently, “Your expression right now makes me feel much happier.”
Aaron didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your Highness Hela, is this interesting?"
"I find it interesting. It is a great honor for you to humor the goddess of death."
"Forget it! I don't want this honor."
“But you have already received this honor.” Hela showed a triumphant expression and leaned casually on the sofa. “How is Abe? Have you reached your destination?
You should be able to check the situation on site, do you mind letting me take a look? "
