Engagement

As soon as Coulson stepped out of the Puppet Shop, Barton asked, "Coulson, what happened to those guys who went out earlier?"

Coulson looked at Barton, picked up the suitcase in his hand, and said, "When they left, the suitcase they were carrying was exactly the same as this one I'm holding."

"I suspect that box also contains a Physical Enhancement Serum."

Upon hearing this, Barton immediately said, "Stop them immediately! This kind of thing must not be allowed to leak out; it will cause great social problems."

Coulson nodded, quickly ran to the car, found the agent he had just spoken to, and asked, "How's it going? Did you manage to track down any information about the other side?"

"Sir, I've already activated the surrounding cameras to track their movements. Fortunately, only a few minutes have passed, and they haven't gone too far."

Coulson and Barton climbed into the armored vehicle and immediately ordered, "Move out and follow the target."

As soon as Coulson finished speaking, the armored vehicle started up and sped towards the target location.

Coulson glanced at the agent beside him and continued, "Take the images of the three men from the surveillance footage and immediately transmit them back to headquarters. Have headquarters send us their information."

Barton, sitting in the car, touched the Bow and Arrow behind him, looked at the box in Coulson's hand, and said, "Should we send someone back with this Physical Enhancement Serum? I'm afraid it might be damaged if we catch up with them and a battle breaks out."

Coulson shook his head and said, "When we came out, we only brought out this one armored vehicle. Now that we've split up, without any vehicles, we can't catch up with them."

"The team escorting the Physical Enhancement Serum doesn't have a vehicle, so the risk level is still very high."

"Take the items with you. I believe that with you here, you can protect the Physical Enhancement Serum."

Upon hearing Coulson's words, Barton took the longbow off his back and placed it in front of him, saying with a serious expression, "Don't worry, the Physical Enhancement Serum will definitely work."

"If they also have this, I will definitely bring it back."

Coulson nodded, then reiterated, "This is $300 million worth of supplies; it's extremely important."

Barton nodded without saying anything, but simply gripped his Bow and Arrow tighter.

Coulson turned to the agent beside him and asked, "Have you predicted their route? And what about headquarters? Why haven't we received any information about those three yet?"

"Sir, the target is heading towards the outskirts and we expect to catch up with them in 10 minutes. Their vehicle will soon be in our sight."

"However, headquarters hasn't sent back any files from them. They say they're still searching and haven't found any information about them yet."

Upon hearing this answer, Coulson frowned slightly. The fact that headquarters hadn't immediately retrieved the other party's file suggested that these three individuals were not simple people.

On the other side.

Hydra Base.

Dr. Zola monitored all the Winter Soldier's activities online and deleted any traces of them from the internet.

When S.H.I.E.L.D.. investigated the situation of the three Winter Soldier, Dr. Zola immediately became aware of it.

Immediately upon arriving at the base, Dr. Zola contacted Pierce at the UN Security Council.

"Pierce, our three Winter Soldier who went to buy the Physical Enhancement Serum were spotted by Coulson at the door when the transaction was completed. Coulson is now investigating the three Winter Soldier Winter Soldier, and their vehicle is also following us."

Upon hearing Dr. Zola's words, Pierce frowned slightly. He hadn't expected to run into Coulson and his group outside the Puppet Shop and arouse their suspicion.

"Take them out. The base and the Winter Soldier's affairs cannot be exposed."

However, Dr. Zola spoke up, saying, "Agent Barton, who was injected with the Physical Enhancement Serum, was also present."

"Our three Winter Soldier might not be a match for him, unless Grant Ward is there and joins in."

Hearing Dr. Zola's words, Pierce felt somewhat helpless. Grant Ward and Yakushi Kabuto were at S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters and had no way of getting over.

"Smash their vehicles, shake them off, and don't let Coulson and his men follow the Winter Soldier back to our base."

"Dr. Zola, please remove the Winter Soldier's traces on the internet as soon as possible."

"Okay, I understand!"

At this moment, three Winter Soldier were escorting the Physical Enhancement Serum back to Hydra Base. Upon hearing the situation through their earpieces, they activated their Individual Smart Terminal on their arms and immediately saw a red dot following them, which turned out to be an armored vehicle.

"Number 1, wait for us at the next street corner in 5 minutes."

"If Number Three and I don't return in 5 minutes, you will escort the Physical Enhancement Serum back to base."

The Winter Soldier, driving the car, replied coldly, "Yes, Number Two!"

At that moment, Winter Soldier Number Two and Number Three took a backpack from under the car seat, slung it over their shoulders, opened the car door, and jumped directly out of the speeding vehicle, landing safely.

After jumping out of the vehicle, Winter Soldier No. 2 and Number Three lay in ambush on both sides of the road, waiting for Coulson's armored vehicle to arrive.

About two minutes later, an armored vehicle sped over and came into view of Winter Soldier No. 2.

Winter Soldier No. 2 appeared on the street, holding a Grenade Launcher, and pulled the Grenade Launcher on the oncoming armored vehicle.

"Boom!"

A grenade was fired, but the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the car immediately sensed danger upon seeing a person wielding Grenade Launcher on the road. Just as the person pulled the trigger, the agent swerved the steering wheel, narrowly avoiding the grenade.

The grenade hit the road, creating a large crater. The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the vehicle were also shaken by the sudden swaying of the car, making them unsteady on their feet.

Seeing that the first shot had missed, Winter Soldier No. 2 pulled the trigger again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three grenades were fired in quick succession, and this time the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in charge of driving the vehicle was unable to dodge them and was hit directly on the front of the car.

The front of the vehicle was blown apart, and the armored vehicle was knocked over and slid sideways by the explosion.

Seeing the overturned and sliding vehicle approaching, Winter Soldier No. 2 launched its last grenade.

"Boom!"

The grenade tore the vehicle apart, completely severing the armored car. Seeing the damage he had caused, Winter Soldier No. 2 tossed aside his empty Grenade Launcher and, instead of leaving immediately, stared at the burning armored car to see if any survivors could emerge.
