Batman Incident (IV)

In mid-air, around the flower bud-shaped UV emitter, many bats hovered. Ground troops' machine gunners and snipers were creating a fire encirclement to prevent these bats from flying out of the generator's effective range.

Spider-Man has discovered a new use for Venom. After undergoing rigorous training from Iron Man and Batman, the Symbiote has adapted very quickly to Spider-Man's outlandish combat methods.

Spider-Man first weaves the Web using Venom's Slime, then leaps high from the bridge pillar like a real spider and throws the web out, always catching a dozen or so bats at a time. He then throws these bats into the range of the UV emitter, and soon catches hundreds of bats.

Natasha watched as the number of bats around the UV emitter increased, but she still frowned and said, "No, this is not enough. We must eliminate more than a third of their forces at once, otherwise the situation will remain very difficult."

Humans are already at a disadvantage when fighting superhuman beings, not to mention that their numbers are so great, almost equal to those of humans, and the terrain is not conducive to the use of human weapons. Heavy firepower such as missiles is simply unusable, and the Brooklyn Bridge cannot withstand a violent explosion.

"Hurry! My wave frequency is gradually weakening. The distance is too far. I can only control it for two more minutes at most!" Daisy, the Quake, shouted.

Without a word, Natasha put away the walkie-talkie, went straight to the cockpit of the attack helicopter, grabbed the pilot, and sat down in her seat, shouting, "Everyone! Prepare to eject!"

Then, while piloting the helicopter, she took out her walkie-talkie and said, "Attention, Squad 2! Everyone prepare to disengage! Pilots, follow my movement path. Machine gunners, maintain firepower. We're going to force that Legion to the east to move out of here!!"

Hawkeye Clint yelled into the walkie-talkie, "No!!! That's too dangerous! Stark's UV emitter is incredibly powerful. You can't get too close, or you'll end up like those bats, instantly melted!!"

Natasha fully utilized the Russian fighting style, immediately hanging up the walkie-talkie, ignoring Hawkeye's protests, and forcefully pulling down the control stick, sending the armed helicopter hurtling towards the swarm of bats.

The regular crew had already parachuted out, leaving only Natasha and the machine gunner. The pilot of plane number 2 gritted his teeth and followed suit. Their machine gunner had already been killed. Kree cursed under his breath, then walked to the machine gunner's position and began preparing to fire.

The two remaining armed helicopters flew towards a Legion bats to the east. Hawkeye operated the machine gun, which provided the main firepower, while Natasha provided tactical cover using the helicopter.

Helicopter No. 2 also carries the powerful weapon, Quake. Although she needs to devote some of her energy to controlling the UV emitter, she can still use Quake to drive swarms of bats toward their destination.

The instant the dozens of bats reached the generator's effective range, Natasha yelled into the walkie-talkie, "Daisy! Move!"

Quake gritted her teeth, her hair whipping wildly in the helicopter's rotors. She stretched out One Hand, Hawkeye said, "Wait! Let's get out of here. Do you want to be blown up?!"

"No! Someone has to maintain firepower. Number 2, retreat first, I'll follow later!"

"Natasha! Are you crazy? Why are you still driving forward?!" Hawkeye poked his head out and saw Natasha's helicopter continuing to fly forward, forcing a bunch of bats that were trying to escape.

Daisy said, "Hurry! I can't hold on much longer!"

"Evacuate immediately!" Natasha's voice sounded very calm. Hawkeye didn't know where she got such confidence from. He could only grit his teeth, then equipped himself with the grappling hook and parachute, and jumped out of the helicopter with Daisy. The moment they jumped, Daisy clenched her fist tightly.

Instantly, the two UV emitter suspended in the air exploded violently, shining like a sun over the Brooklyn Bridge.

The violent explosion, accompanied by the release of high-intensity ultraviolet radiation, instantly turned all the bats within the generator's effective range into ashes.

Beside the giant sun, a small dark figure landed, and then another dark figure swung across on Silk and caught her. As Spider-Man placed Natasha on top of a pier of the Brooklyn Bridge, Venom thought to himself, "She has a great figure, doesn't she?"

Peter's face turned red instantly, but thankfully he was wearing a mask. Natasha dusted herself off and turned back to look at her spoils.

This tactical operation was indeed remarkably effective. A third of the bats that were originally hovering over the Kree Bridge were affected by the blast wave, and the vast majority of them lost their ability to fight.

More importantly, vampires are also highly intelligent humanoid beings, and as long as they possess humanity, they will feel fear.

Watching their companions vanish into thin air in an instant would put immense psychological pressure on them. It's already visible that many bats have stopped hovering in the air and instead transformed into human form, trying to escape along the alleyways.

At this point, one advantage of the Brooklyn Bridge area became apparent: with human forces blocking both ends of the bridge, any bat that wanted to fly out would have to endure machine gun fire and Sniper Bullet. If it didn't fly out, the only way to avoid being sniped was to transform into human form, which would make it smaller and less likely to be hit.

However, if you transform into human form within the bridge area, you can either land on the bridge surface or in the river, neither of which is a good choice.

Landing on the bridge would immediately subject them to a hail of bullets, while landing on the river would leave vampires with little mobility in the water, making them practically sitting ducks.

Apart from a few high-level vampires who are skilled in using magic, most ordinary vampires could only frantically fly towards the bottom of the bridge.

Just as Natasha was about to relay the next battle plan, a loud whooshing sound rang out. She looked up and saw several dark figures rapidly approaching in the distance. Natasha said, "The fighter group has entered!"

Although armed helicopters can be used for combat, they are not as professional as fighter jets. Twelve fighter jets emitted sharp screechs and streaked across the sky, shooting down more than a dozen large bats in almost a single encounter.

While low-altitude combat is not a fighter jet's forte, fighter pilots' aerial combat skills far surpass those of these bats that merely fly around aimlessly.

The three of them formed a small team and carried out rapid tactical maneuvers, often keeping the bats spinning in circles. The bats in the air were distracted and had no time to swoop down to the ground, which greatly eased the situation on the ground.

The ground forces mainly deal with advanced humanoid vampires who use all sorts of magic, such as claws that suddenly appear from the black mist. Even Spider-Man, with his speed, almost took several hits. Ordinary people have a very low chance of survival if they are ambushed.

Therefore, the ground forces were losing manpower too quickly, and the personnel who were replaced needed to spend time reorganizing firepower.

On the bridge, Steve raised his shield, the sound of his claws scraping against metal sending chills down everyone's spines. Steve said, "This won't do! Spider-Man, are you there? We have to think of something. We can't let them use magic so freely; it's too harmful to ordinary people!"

Spider-Man's voice came through the headphones. "Destroy the bridge."

"What did you say?" Steve asked incredulously. "Spider-Man? Hey? Are you okay?"

"I said, we have to destroy the bridge so they have no foothold."

Peter's voice sounded very calm, even somewhat deep, which was a bit unlike him, but Steve was drawn to it and didn't immediately refute him, instead listening to Peter continue.

"I just observed that when they transform into bat form and hover in the air, they cannot use that claw magic. They must transform into human form to use magic."

"And when they take human form, they need a foothold."

"The bridge is too wide now, so they can use magic without restraint. But once the bridge is destroyed and there is no flat surface left, only uneven ruins, then humans can use the ruins as cover."

"Not only can they evade magical sneak attacks, but special operations teams have also entered the fray, which is their forte."

Steve opened his mouth wide, took a deep breath, and said, "Peter, I really didn't expect... are you really Peter?"

It's no wonder Steve was so surprised. In his previous conversations with Peter, he also found that because Peter was relatively young and inexperienced, some of the tactical plans he came up with often seemed rather petty.

This is understandable, after all, you can't expect a high school student who has only ever seen street fights to come up with any big plans, but this time it really shocked Steve. Peter came up with a very bold plan as soon as he opened his mouth.

Peter's voice sounded very calm. His mind was full of all the possibilities of this tactic. He said, "Now is the One chance. The bats in the air are distracted by the fighter jets and won't interfere with us. And the explosion of the UV emitter just now has destroyed half of the bridge pier in the southeast direction."

"We only need to destroy the pier in the southwest direction, and the entire bridge will collapse from the south. I estimate that about half of the bridge will completely collapse, which will provide the special operations team with a lot of room to maneuver."

Steve stood behind a truck and involuntarily added, "Indeed, the explosion just now caused many bats to flee to the bottom of the bridge. If the bridge collapses, it could crush many of them."

He stood on the edge of the bridge and looked down. Below the bridge were all glowing red eyes, which looked very eerie. Steve said, "Don't they like to hide under the bridge? Then lure more bats there. When the bridge collapses, even if they aren't crushed to death, they'll all fly out and get shot."

With the battle plan finalized, Steve and Peter began coordinating their operation. They obtained some explosives from the Police Department George, and after a brief discussion with George, Director George indicated that the ground police forces would be ready to cooperate at any time.

With this promise, Spider-Man contacted Natasha again. Natasha also agreed with their rather audacious plan, saying, "Those fussy politicians only think about the cost of repairing the bridge. Why don't they think about the fact that every bullet they fire is made of silver? The firepower cost for this short time is enough to build two bridges."

"Furthermore, your plan is too conservative," the Soviet Union female agent said firmly. "The larger the explosive yield, the greater the effect! Your manual transport of explosives is far too inefficient!"

"Listen, I just contacted Stark. The reason he hasn't arrived yet is because he's adjusting his Jaeger. In a little while, about five unmanned Jaegers will join the battle, and I'll take two of them."

"All you need to do is load them with enough explosives and then launch a suicide attack. This will not only destroy the bridge, but the violent explosion will also wipe out a wave of bats that can't escape in time."

Steve and Peter both swallowed hard. Steve said, "Actually, we originally just wanted half of the bridge to collapse, so that..."

"Can't you American have a damn bit more guts?!" the female agent yelled. "If the Soviet Union had commanders like you, those Germans would have stormed Moscow long ago!!!"

"Listen to me! Prepare now!! Destroy the Brooklyn Bridge completely!!!"
