I'm having a blast in Marvel!

You're not going to vote even if this is the case? Things are so desperate, how can you still be so enthusiastic? Do you have a built-in lighter, or is there a nuclear reactor inside your head?

Chu Hang admitted that he was completely overwhelmed by Steve's damn, utterly out-of-place heroic spirit. Yeah, giving up now was too early. What if? What if this big guy ran out of mana? What if its next shot got stuck? What if…

Just as he was lost in thought, trying to cheer himself up with all sorts of unrealistic fantasies, his ears, which had been enhanced by the super soldier serum, suddenly caught a very subtle change.

The devastating beam attack was so powerful that it temporarily "cleared" the surrounding sound, causing him to experience temporary hearing loss. Now, as the tinnitus subsided, the sounds of the world were returning.

The sound of the wind, the rustling of snowflakes against the ground, the cracking sound of a distant glacier breaking open...

"Buzzing—"

The terrifying noise coming from the foot of the mountain, which had just sounded like ten thousand industrial drills operating simultaneously, suddenly subsided!

Chu Hang's heart skipped a beat!

He immediately closed his eyes, focusing all his attention on his hearing, like a highly sophisticated sonic radar, carefully discerning every sound detail coming from the monster.

That's right! The turbine fan on the monster's head slowed down significantly, and the sound changed from a deafening shriek to a weak, strained "whoosh" sound, like an old engine being forced to cool down after being overloaded.

"Yao Yao... no, Captain!" Chu Hang almost blurted out his catchphrase from his gaming days in his past life in his excitement. He scrambled over to Steve's side, "That thing over there has such a weak voice! Now!"

Steve's eyes lit up instantly, as bright as a two-kilowatt searchlight, dispelling all the gloom in an instant!

"Good! Good! Good!" He shouted "Good!" three times in a row, and the dejected look on his face vanished.

"Listen up, this is our only chance, so everyone listen up! I'm going to draw their fire!"

Chu Hang and Logan were both dumbfounded. You're going to draw fire? What are you going to use to block it? Your handsome face? That thing doesn't protect against light cannons!

“I’ll draw its attention.” Steve spoke at breakneck speed, like a Gatling gun, but every word was terrifyingly clear. “I’ll use my speed and shield to harass it from the front. With its clumsy build, it’ll be as slow as a donkey to turn around. What I want are those few seconds when it turns around to chase me!”

His gaze, like two scorching hot irons, landed precisely on Logan and Chu Hang.

"The moment it turns around, its weak point on its back is completely exposed! Logan, your claws are hard enough, but with your own strength, you probably can't pierce its thick armor with one claw. So, you need Chu's help!"

He suddenly turned to Chu Hang, his eyes filled with trust and expectation: "Chu, you're incredibly strong now, I reckon you're almost as strong as me. In a bit, you and Logan will go together. Logan will use his claws to find the core point, and then you'll use all your strength to hammer Logan's claws in like nails!"

Using Logan's claws... as nails?

Chu Hang's jaw nearly dislocated in shock.

Captain, your tactics are way too damn abstract! What do you take Logan for? A humanoid self-propelled armor-piercing missile? Or one of those disposable tools that you can just use and throw away?

"I get it!" Before Chu Hang could even complain, Logan's eyes blazed with a wild light again. He licked his chapped lips, and a near-perverted... no, an extremely excited smile spread across his face. "This way of playing is exciting! I fucking love it!"

"Captain, this is too reckless!" Chu Hang finally couldn't help but complain. "You're just wandering around in front by yourself. What if it doesn't have any sense of justice and suddenly gets back to its cooldown and attacks you again? We won't even have a chance to collect your corpse!"

“No ‘what ifs’!” Steve interrupted him decisively, his tone leaving no room for argument. “This is an order! It’s our only hope of survival! Remember, we only have one chance, maybe only a few seconds! If we fail, the three of us will be going back to our hometown!”

After saying that, he didn't give Chu Hang any more chances to whine or complain.

He suddenly stood up and stepped out of the cover of the rocks.

The fierce winds at the mountaintop made his blue, white, and red striped bodysuit flap loudly, perfectly outlining his physique, which was comparable to that of an ancient Greek sculpture. He stood alone on the edge of the cliff, facing the colossal steel monster at the foot of the mountain.

He raised the pot lid in his hand high... oh no, it was the vibranium shield.

"Hey! You big, ugly tin can!"

Steve's voice, amplified by the Super Soldier Serum, echoed throughout the valley like a loudspeaker, filled with provocation.

"Your grandpa is right here!"

At the foot of the mountain, the colossal creature slowly turned its enormous single eye, and the crimson light instantly locked onto the clueless little one on the mountaintop.

A roar filled with furious rage, provoked by ants, exploded with a deafening boom, making the entire mountain vibrate!

Steve roared, his leg muscles bulged, and with a "whoosh," he leaped off the ridge dozens of meters high like a cannonball that had broken free of its restraints!

Chu Hang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He actually... he actually rushed forward on his own initiative!

In mid-air, Steve curled up, tightly protecting the round shield in front of him. He transformed into a blue meteor streaking across the sky, carrying an indomitable determination and fearless courage, and crashed headlong into the steel jungle that represented death and destruction!

Chapter 35: I Choose You, Humanoid Armor-Piercing Bullet!

Steve Rogers, the walking recruitment advertisement and a spiritual icon of the entire United States, just jumped straight off the cliff.

His figure in the wind and snow was like a blue cannonball fired from a gun, heading straight for the Hydra-brand "Gundam" at the foot of the mountain, which was comparable to a mobile fortress.

Chu Hang stood on the edge of the cliff, shivering as the cold wind rushed down his collar. But he knew very well that this physical chill was nothing compared to the turmoil surging in his heart.

This guy is absolutely a 100% madman!

Any carbon-based creature with a normal thought process, upon seeing this behemoth whose size, firepower, and defense completely overwhelmed him, would immediately run for their lives. But Steve was different. Not only did he not run, he played the "face-checking bushes" game, willingly offering himself up as the tank. He was treating his life as his last trump card in a gamble, recklessly slamming it onto the table, betting that the two spectators above could find that slimmer-than-winning chance to turn the tables before he was turned into a meat pie.

"Damn it..." Logan, standing beside Chu Hang, let out a low growl, a mixture of surprise, annoyance, and a hint of wild, untamed savagery. His eyes, usually half-asleep and tinged with mockery, were now fixed on Steve's back, his clenched fists cracking with each knuckle. "That son of a bitch, America's sweetheart, always manages to do something that sends my blood pressure soaring."

Chu Hang glanced at Logan, a wild grin spreading across his face. "Hey, Old Wolf, you're not just experiencing a blood pressure spike, you're getting an adrenaline rush, all fired up!"

"Stop talking nonsense, bro!" Chu Hang took a deep breath, forcing himself into a state of mental clarity. His brain, enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum, began to work at overclock, frantically calculating distance, wind speed, trajectory, and the lead time for every joint of that metal behemoth's rotation. "The captain has entrusted his life to us as a pledge of loyalty. If we mess this up, the three of us will be sitting here in this freezing cold, waiting to be packed up and taken away!"

As they spoke, Steve had already landed. He moved with incredible agility, like a blue flea, darting around the behemoth's feet. Each strike of the monster's massive alloy feet was like a mini-earthquake, the resulting waves of snow and debris capable of burying a tank alive. But Steve always managed to dodge with the slightest margin, his shield clanging as it deflected the sweeping mechanical tentacles, the noise more grating than fingernails scraping a blackboard.

He succeeded. He used himself as the perfect mocking face, firmly drawing all the monster's hatred to his front. The metal behemoth clearly didn't have any advanced AI chip installed, its intelligence was questionable, and it was furious at the annoying little guy in front of it. Its huge head lowered, its two scarlet electronic eyes locked on Steve, completely unaware that its broad and thick back had been exposed to the two "old sixes" on the cliff without any defense.

Now! This is your only window of opportunity!

"Logan!" Chu Hang shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Cheers!" Old Wolf's response was just one word, concise and to the point, full of excitement for the upcoming feast.

Chu Hang grabbed Logan by the back of his collar. It felt like he was grabbing half a cast iron door. The old man's muscles were harder than Chu Hang's skin.

"Hold on tight, old man!" Chu Hang couldn't resist cracking a joke before launch. "If I accidentally drop you halfway through, I'm not going to go down and collect your corpse!"

"Shut up, kid! You're the heaviest accessory I've ever seen!" Logan cursed fiercely, but his body was already taut like a bow, his legs slightly bent, ready to be launched like a cannonball.

Chu Hang exerted force with both legs, squeezing out the terrifying explosive power brought by the super soldier serum to its limit at this moment! The rocks beneath his feet cracked, and he shot into the sky like a cannonball, carrying a "human-shaped pendant" weighing more than 100 kilograms with three bone claws in his hand.

The wind howled in Chu Hang's ears, and the feeling of weightlessness made his stomach churn. He stared intently at the huge, moving target below, frantically adjusting their parabolic trajectory in the air based on the lead time it took for the target to turn.

"That's it!" Chu Hang roared at Logan from mid-air, pointing to a heavily armored area on the monster's back. That was the "Achilles' heel," the only spot he'd located using his extraordinary hearing that sounded like an energy core!

Logan abruptly turned his head in mid-air, looking in the direction Chu Hang pointed, his eyes instantly becoming sharper than the bone claws in his hand.

Three bone claws, gleaming with a chilling light, suddenly shot out from between his fists!

Close! Closer!

Chu Hang could even see the large welds and menacing rivets on the monster's armor, and smell the nauseating odor of engine oil, burnt smell and ozone emanating from it.

Steve, below, seemed to understand as well. He thrust his shield forward, slamming it into one of the monster's legs with all his might. The action wasn't particularly harmful, but it was extremely humiliating, successfully causing the massive creature's body to stiffen for a moment.

This is the moment!

"Let me in, you!"

Chu Hang let out a roar that sounded inhuman, twisted his waist and abdomen, bulged his arm muscles, and used all the strength he had accumulated since transmigrating to press the Logan in his hand hard down toward the target point!

Rather than pressing, it would be more accurate to say that Chu Hang risked everything, using a ferocious, almost suicidal approach, to smash Logan into that ridiculously thick armor like a living human armor-piercing nail!

"clang--!"

A deafening, ear-piercing metallic scraping sound suddenly exploded!

Logan's bone claws clashed violently with the monster's armor, sending up a shower of sparks more dazzling than fireworks. Those bone claws, powerful enough to tear apart the steel plates of a bank vault, only managed to leave three glaring white marks on the armor's surface, failing to penetrate completely!

"Damn it!" Logan's curse mingled with the sound of metal scraping together, filled with resentment.

Chu Hang's heart sank. Had he miscalculated? The tortoise shell was harder than he had imagined?

No! It's not over yet! His part isn't finished!

Chu Hang's body followed closely behind, and with the immense inertia, he slammed heavily into Logan's back. His feet landed precisely on Logan's lower back, using him as a perfect fulcrum and lever.

"I told you..." Chu Hang's eyes were bloodshot from straining, and his voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth, "Get in! Here!"

He channeled all the power unleashed by the super soldier serum within him, all his resentment as a modern-day corporate slave towards the 996 work culture, the cutthroat competition, and this messed-up world, his fear of death and his desire to live, and all his energy into his right foot!

Then, he kicked it out hard!

The kick landed squarely on the back of Logan's right fist, which was already halfway into his armor!

This time, it wasn't a harsh, scraping sound, but a crisp, cracking sound, like tempered glass being shattered!

With the combined strength of the two "super soldiers," the seemingly indestructible armor was finally breached by them in the most barbaric and unreasonable way!

Logan's entire right arm, along with his bone claws, was kicked forcefully into the monster's body by Chu Hang!

"Roar--!"

A agonizing roar, unlike anything a living being could produce, filled with electrical static and system crash alarms, erupted from deep within the monster's throat. The terrifying sonic boom instantly hurled Chu Hang and Logan off its back.

They tumbled through the air like two rag dolls, crashing heavily onto the snow dozens of meters away, creating two large, steaming craters.

Chu Hang felt as if all the bones in his body had shattered. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a metallic taste. But his eyes remained fixed on the enormous creature.

The monster they had stabbed in the kidneys went completely mad. Its massive body writhed wildly, countless mechanical tentacles flailing erratically, smashing everything around it to pieces. The enormous turbine engine on its chest began to flicker uncontrollably, its dark red energy beams sweeping aimlessly in all directions, carving deep trenches into the ice and melting the rocks into molten lava.

"Run!" Steve shouted as he rushed to their side amidst the chaos and pulled Chu Hang out of the snow pit.

On the other side, Logan also stood up unsteadily. His right arm, which Chu Hang had used as a "nail," hung limply, clearly broken, but it was now wriggling and resetting at a visible speed under the action of the self-healing factor.

The three of them ran for their lives without looking back, heading in the direction away from the monster.

Behind them was an apocalyptic scene.

A series of muffled explosions emanated from inside the monster's body, with plumes of black smoke and sparks erupting from the gaps in its armor. Finally, in a colossal, earth-shattering explosion, its mountain-like form collapsed, sending up a thousand waves of snow.

The world has finally fallen silent.

Chu Hang plopped down on the snow, panting heavily like a broken bellows, feeling like his lungs were about to come out.

Steve, leaning on his shield, knelt on the ground, his chest heaving. Logan, on the other hand, lay flat on his back, spread-eagled, a flattened cigar dangling from his mouth, staring silently at the gray sky.

In this seemingly hopeless battle, the three "overpowered" individuals, with their increasingly insane plans and relentless execution, actually managed to dismantle that arrogant behemoth.

An unprecedented feeling called "爽" (shuang, meaning "refreshing" or "exhilarating") arose spontaneously in Chu Hang's heart.

So this is what it feels like to be a hero.

It's... pretty damn good.
