The Quinjet spun as it crashed onto the road. Fortunately, Barton stabilized the fuselage, causing it to fall horizontally. Additionally, the aircraft's special materials prevented it from disintegrating and exploding.
Barton immediately opened the hatch, and Natasha, Chen Haoran, Brock Rumlow, and two others ran out of the fighter jet.
Natasha, watching the convoy drive off into the distance, immediately said, "Chase them! There are people blocking their way at the next intersection; they can't get far."
The four of them immediately started running at full speed. All four had been injected with Physical Enhancement Serum, but Barton, who had been injected with Physical Enhancement Serum produced by Charlotte Agency, was actually faster.
At this moment, Barton, carrying a longbow on his back, ran while looking up at the sky, but saw nothing. He then asked, "Who just shot us down?"
Natasha said, "I didn't see it, but the attack method is somewhat similar to the weapons used by the previous Chitauri Army. It's possible that someone on their side obtained the enemy's laser weapons and activated them."
Chen Haoran and Brock Rumlow: "We were inside the cabin and didn't notice any attack."
Barton shook his head. "No, the attack wasn't coming from the ground, it was launched from the air."
Upon hearing Barton's words, everyone looked up at the sky but saw nothing.
After a moment's thought, Natasha said, "Once we catch up with the target, everyone should be wary of aerial attacks when launching your assault."
"Yes!"
······
On the other side.
T'Challa witnessed the S.H.I.E.L.D.. fighter jets from the car. Although he looked down on S.H.I.E.L.D..'s technology and considered these outdated guys, the fact that they had sent fighter jets to intercept him meant they were trying to kill him.
T'Challa, wearing the Black Panther helmet, didn't look well, even though the enemy's fighter jet had already been shot down.
He still didn't understand. This was the second time. Last time, they sent a large number of people to attack him, and this time they even deployed fighter jets. What was S.H.I.E.L.D.. trying to do?
Just as T'Challa was pondering, Okoye spoke up, "Your Highness, Doraka reported that there is a roadblock at the intersection ahead, and our vehicle may not be able to break through it."
Upon hearing Okoye's report, T'Challa's face darkened further inside his Black Panther helmet. After a two-second silence, he said in a deep voice, "Have the airborne headquarters blow up all the roadblocks and checkpoints. I refuse to believe they can still intercept us there after the bombardment."
"Yes!"
······
At the intersection, spike strips and netting barriers had already been laid out on the road, with three vehicles parked horizontally behind them as a second line of defense. In addition, two armored vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns were parked on the side of the road, with machine gunners already in position, aiming at the Maybach convoy that was about to appear at the intersection ahead.
Furthermore, there were troops on their way to provide support; as long as the convoy was blocked, the enemy would have no chance of escape.
An agent stood in the middle of the road with a megaphone in hand, waiting. Not long after, the Maybach convoy arrived.
"Final warning. The convoy ahead must stop immediately for inspection."
"Final warning. The convoy ahead must stop immediately for inspection."
"Final warning. The convoy ahead must stop immediately for inspection."
Just as the S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents were about to order the Task Force to attack, the Maybach convoy ahead surprisingly obeyed the order and stopped.
The S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents who witnessed this breathed a sigh of relief, when just then, several laser beams shot towards them from the sky.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh!"
Several blue laser beams shot out from the sky. The S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents only saw a blue light before their eyes, and then lost consciousness the next second.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Lasers shot out from the sky as if they were free, blasting armored vehicles that were hit directly away, and melting away ground-based interception equipment, leaving nothing behind.
As for the cars that were originally intended to block and act as shields, they were blown up during the attack.
The S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents and Task Force members who were preparing to attack suffered heavy casualties in this wave of attacks.
The Wakanda Stealth Fighter in the sky bombarded the convoy for a full minute, wiping out all the enemies in front of it before ceasing their attack and disappearing again.
Seeing that the enemy had been eliminated, Doraka started the vehicle and said, "Let's go!"
The convoy resumed its march towards the stronghold, which was now only three streets away.
As the convoy drove away again, Barton and the others finally ran to the street corner.
Seeing the horrific scene before them, everyone froze and stopped in their tracks; it was not what they had imagined.
Chen Haoran exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of enemies did they encounter?"
Brock Rumlow paused for a second before saying, "It only took us less than three minutes to catch up. This battle ended far too quickly."
Barton ran forward and said, "Check if anyone is still alive."
The three immediately ran to the scene and began checking each person one by one.
Natasha immediately contacted S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters to report the situation on the ground and inquire about the next steps.
······
On the other side.
S.H.I.E.L.D.. - Triskelion.
War Room, everyone fell silent as they watched the video of the interception team's deaths.
Hill asked, "Have you found the owner information for these five Maybach?"
An agent in front of the computer said, "Sir, we can't find any vehicle information. The license plates might all be fake."
"We are currently checking the vehicle's past travel history to see if we can get any clues."
Hill frowned slightly, then said, "Check the security cameras on the surrounding streets. I need to know where they went."
"Where are the support troops now? Tell them to speed up."
"Another ten Quinjet will be dispatched for interception and support."
"Yes, sir!"
Just as Hill was issuing the battle orders, Nick Fury walked in, glanced at everyone, and then asked, "How's the situation?"
Hill pulled up the previous footage and said, "The situation is not optimistic. The enemy possesses laser weapons similar to those of the Chitauri Army."
"From the angle of fire, the enemy should be in the air, but according to the intelligence transmitted back and our radar, we have not detected any trace of the enemy."
"I suspect it's similar to the stealth technology used on Helicarrier, and possibly even more advanced than ours."
Nick Fury watched the video, paused for a few seconds, and then asked, "Can the Helicarrier take off now?"
Hill shook his head. "The Helicarrier is still under repair; the others haven't been put into service yet."
"Natasha and her Quinjet have also been shot down, and their target has been lost."
Nick Fury's expression was grave. He had previously believed that there were extraordinary forces on Earth, only stronger than them individually, but he never expected that there would be beings that were also more technologically advanced than them.
The leopard's behavior was truly beyond his expectations.
Recalling the other party's mysterious departure last time, Nick Fury realized that they must have left in Stealth Fighter.
