Chapter 26 Saving Private Rhodes
Chapter 26 Saving Private Rhodes
"Hahahaha!"
"Did you hear that? He said he's a pangolin!"
Natasha and Clint clutched their stomachs, laughing so hard they were doubled over.
"Alright," the widower walked over and patted Qin Wuying on the shoulder, "Let's test your strength first."
The two led Qin Wuying into a training room.
At one end of the room was a shooting platform, and at the other end were many scattered targets.
It's immediately obvious that this is a training ground for firearms and archery.
Qin Wuying picked up a pistol from the table that looked like a USP and pretended to aim at the bullseye of the target opposite him.
"Hey! You've got it wrong." Hawkeye Natasha blocked the muzzle of the gun with one hand.
"My technique isn't correct, is it?"
It should be noted that Qin Wuying had never seen a real gun before, let alone used one.
"That's alright," Clint said with a knowing smile, "because you're going to be a sitting duck."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wuying instantly became alert and teleported to a distance slightly away from the two.
"What do you mean by this? Are you suggesting this mission is to kill me again?"
Thinking of Nick Fury's repeated insistence, Qin Wuying felt that he had been tricked by this cunning old man again.
"No, we just want to know if you have the capability to cooperate with us."
Seeing Qin Wuying tense up, Natasha quickly explained and showed him an arrow without an arrowhead from the tube.
Qin Wuying then slowly relaxed and walked to the middle of the targets.
The Hawkeye and the Widowmaker in this world seem rather arrogant and not the type to easily submit to others.
Well then, let them have a good look.
"I'm not giving you any advance notice, so you'll have to rely on your own reactions!"
Natasha waved to Qin Wuying, signaling the start of the test.
Qin Wuying made no verbal or physical response.
"duang~"
Natasha lightly plucked the bowstring, making it appear as if she was about to shoot an arrow.
Qin Wuying remained completely still on the other side.
"Duang~Duang~!"
He plucked the strings twice more, each time louder than the last.
Then, in the next second—
"Kamui!"
The speeding bullet pierced through Qin Wuying's body and struck the target behind him.
The bow and arrow were just a feint; what he really needed to be wary of was the bullet Clint secretly fired from the side.
Even though those were very soft training rounds, they would probably still hurt a lot if they hit you.
"Tsk, you managed to spot that."
Clint, the widower, smacked his lips, surprised that his sneak attack tactic had failed.
"Child, I can react to the seashell."
Qin Wuying made a facepalm-laughing-crying emoji.
As a player with a ranking of 3000 points in a certain game, his reaction speed is a major advantage.
Clint and Natasha exchanged a glance and had no choice but to admit defeat.
Although they were seasoned veterans, they had never seen Qin Wuying possess such abilities.
Some people rely on supersonic speed, while others rely on teleportation devices—
Qin Wuying appeared to be standing still, yet she could not be hit.
"You're not a spirit, are you? Like, someone who's already dead?"
Unable to resist his curiosity any longer, Clint voiced his doubts.
"How could that be? Don't talk nonsense." Natasha gave Qin Wuying an apologetic look.
As for the mission they were to carry out after this meeting, Nick Fury had already sent it over on his terminal.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has located the Skrulls' location where Rhodes is being held.
Fury immediately assigned Hawkeye and the White Widow to lead the rescue.
However, because the two of them acted on their own too many times, Fury had to find someone else to keep an eye on them.
Fury believed that Qin Wuying's teleportation ability was the best choice for this mission.
After checking the weapons and equipment one by one, the three got into the car heading to their target location.
"Hello, it's nice to see you again. How are you?"
While Sasha was focused on driving, Qin Wuying in the passenger seat persisted and tried to break the ice.
Natasha, sitting in the back, couldn't help but smile slightly when she heard Qin Wuying's straightforward question.
As expected, Sasha only responded with an "um" and ignored him completely.
"Lucy is so much better," Qin Wuying thought to herself. "She's always been very patient with me."
"The place we're going to is an abandoned factory area."
Clint shared a map on his communication terminal, showing several factories clustered in the center of the area.
"The director instructed us to avoid killing anyone, otherwise our relationship with the alien guests would become too strained."
Natasha added from the side.
Qin Wuying felt that whether or not Nick Fury was killed, he was a complete idiot.
If the problems of homeland and resources cannot be solved, and if the question of where the Skrulls will go cannot be resolved—
Secret intrusion incidents cannot be eradicated.
"Remember not to split up," Qin Wuying reminded him again after getting out of the car.
The two agents nodded, seemingly listening but not really.
Next, according to the pre-arranged plan, they had to check each of the closed old factory buildings one by one.
"If we can't open this, how about we blow it up?"
The iron gate of the first target factory was covered with more than one large padlock.
Unraveling them one by one would take too long; using explosive devices would attract unnecessary attention.
"Step back, I'll handle this."
Having learned from his previous experience in picking locks, Qin Wuying volunteered again.
This time, he had an even more ingenious method.
Countless slender tentacles made of blue energy emerged from behind Qin Wuying.
"Ugh~ How disgusting." Natasha covered her mouth and complained.
Each tentacle reached into the keyhole and then pried it open with extremely slight movements.
Then, using the soft cushions conjured from energy, they caught the falling door locks one by one.
"It's done, nothing's happening." Qin Wuying clapped his hands as he retracted the energy tentacles.
Because the door was so old, it inevitably made a creaking sound when pushed open.
Natasha frowned, looking thoughtfully at the second floor of the factory.
"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"
Qin Wuying looked at Eagle Eye; with her abilities, she might be able to see things that Qin Wuying couldn't.
"No, I was just thinking, what should we do if there are snipers lying in ambush here?"
Oh no, this has happened! This is the kind of situation where bad things inevitably follow a person's jinxed prediction!
As soon as he finished speaking, three red laser dots appeared on the chests of Qin Wuying, Natasha, and Clint, respectively.
A tall Skrull man emerged from the shadows on the second floor.
"I advise you not to move rashly, or your lives will be in danger."
"Oh, what bad luck." Qin Wuying looked at the other person indifferently, without the slightest pressure.
Looking back at Hawkeye and the widower, neither of them showed any sign of panic.
The sniper upstairs isn't facing ordinary people, but rather—
A spatial ability user who can make their body appear ethereal at any time;
Eagle Eyes, with unparalleled accuracy and exceptional vision;
And possibly the world's most skilled secret agent, the widower.
"We're thinking the same thing, aren't we?"
Qin Wuying blinked hard at the two agents.
"Sir! Target number three has disappeared! Repeat! Target number three has disappeared!"
