Just before boarding the plane, Dreykov saw Qin Xiao leap towards him and immediately gave an order to the two super soldiers.
Then, two super soldiers leaped towards Qin Xiao, who was in mid-air.
Although the super soldiers didn't have Qin Xiao's freakish jumping ability, Qin Xiao was already in a falling state.
Two super soldiers rushed towards Qin Xiao's thighs from the left and right.
Clearly, the two men were trying to grab Qin Xiao's ankles, restricting his movement and buying Dreykov some precious time to escape.
Qin Xiao simply smiled at this.
The person bends forward in mid-air, and the Tang sword slashes from left to right.
If two super soldiers were to arrive, they would surely lose their hands before they could even grab Qin Xiao's ankles.
Unexpectedly, the moment Qin Xiao bent down to draw his sword, two super soldiers grinned maliciously and ruthlessly pressed the detonator in their hands.
"Holy shit!"
Qin Xiao then noticed the detonators in the two men's hands.
After a busy night, Qin Xiao, who had been full of confidence, was finally brought to his knees by Dreykov's series of unexpected moves, and blurted out a vulgar curse.
Intense light and heat erupted in the air.
The two human bombs generated enormous heat and shockwaves.
The blast sent Qin Xiao flying backwards in the direction he came from, glancing more than ten meters past the Natasha sisters before crashing heavily to the ground.
Looking at the jet plane again, it had already accelerated and become a tiny dot in the sky.
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck!"
Qin Xiao angrily cursed three times.
To be honest, tonight's events were essentially about Francis and Dreykov's conspiracy being exposed.
Even though Dreykov played all his cards, he ended up losing both his wife and his army, and could only flee in panic like a stray dog.
But Qin Xiao didn't think so. His purpose today was to find Dreykov, but he didn't expect that even though he was prepared, Drekoff still managed to escape.
"Damn it! I should have called Tony. I was so arrogant!"
Qin Xiao said indignantly.
"It's okay! He's already lost a lot today, we still have a chance, don't we?"
Natasha should have been even more eager to kill Dreykov than Qin Xiao, but seeing Qin Xiao's remorse, she went to comfort him.
"We didn't expect him to have so many backup plans. This isn't your fault, Qin!"
"When we first arrived, some people around us were firing specially made nerve agent bullets at us. They must be Widow trained by the Red Room. Shall we find them and help them break free from the control?"
Yelena changed the subject.
Dreykov, returning from his humiliating flight, grimly opened a tablet, quickly summoned the three Widow he had been lying in ambush at a distance, and without hesitation initiated their self-destruct sequence.
In Qin Xiao's apartment.
The three men, each holding a bottle of beer, sat on the balcony, looking rather dejected.
It was one thing for Dreykov to leave, but the three Widow they found later had all taken their own lives, even though they were three young girls who could have been saved by the antidote.
They were reduced to three cold corpses, so the three of them were somewhat sullen and didn't want to speak.
Qin Xiao, in particular, listened to Natasha and Yelena recount their experiences in the Red Room.
In particular, Yelena described the feeling of being controlled—being aware of what she had done and understanding the nature of her actions, yet being unable to control her body and behavior.
He could only watch helplessly as his bullets and daggers killed one innocent person after another, or one who was utterly wicked, but none of them were people he wanted to kill.
Even feelings of sadness and guilt were suppressed and could not be expressed, remaining deep within the soul and constantly backfiring on one's conscience and humanity.
Qin Xiao put himself in that position and shuddered at the thought of it.
Qin Xiao is not a saint, and he doesn't have any of the so-called superhero awareness, at least not yet.
However, if he had the ability to stop such inhumane behavior, I believe every normal person would have done so.
Just like when you see news reports of scumbags abusing the elderly and children, if the law doesn't intervene, I believe many people would want to beat these scumbags to death.
It was as if it sensed Qin Xiao's anger.
The system issued a new task at the appropriate time.
"Destroy the Red Room and rescue all the Widow controlled by the nerve agent, reward 1000 points; kill Dreykov, reward the accessory: The Widows' Sweetie!"
"Puff!!!"
The somber atmosphere among the three was broken when Qin Xiao spat out a mouthful of beer.
The two sisters glared at Qin Xiao with hostility.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I was just thinking about something else!"
Qin Xiao quickly explained.
"System! Explain to me what this ' The Widows' Sweetie' thing is. Are you going to reward me with a donut necklace? Or a bracelet with a strawberry in it?"
"Once you complete the task, you will naturally understand the purpose of this reward. Please do not try to guess or speculate based solely on the name; doing so would make you appear very shallow!"
For some reason, Qin Xiao could always detect a hint of contempt in the system's lifeless voice.
He cursed inwardly.
I forced myself to convince myself not to stoop to the level of a non-intelligent being.
He turned to Natasha and her sister and said.
"Didn't you two both receive training in the Red Room? Don't you know where their base is?"
"No matter how well it's hidden, or if it blindfolds you or something, you're special agents, you should at least be able to determine the general direction!"
Qin Xiao didn't believe that Dreykov could hide so well, without even a single clue.
"After my sister joined S.H.I.E.L.D.., Dreykov moved the Red Room base. For safety reasons, every Widow who goes back to the base must be given a sedative injection before going in and out."
"Furthermore, within the base, the areas we have access to have no windows, no place where we can see outside, so we have no idea where the base is."
Yelena shrugged and said helplessly.
"What about that person? Is there anyone who works for the Red Room, or someone of a higher rank than you? Surely only Dreykov can know where the Red Room is?"
Qin Xiao pressed on, unwilling to give up.
"I do know someone who might know where the Red Room is?"
Natasha suddenly said in a low voice.
Yelena glanced at her sister, and suddenly seemed to understand something.
You mean Dad?
When Natasha and Yelena were children, they were undercover in the United States. The temporary family they lived in was led by Agent Alexei Shostakov, who played the role of their father.
He was once the only super soldier in the former Soviet Union to have been injected with Super-Soldier Serum.
His nickname is Red Guardian, and he is also known as Captain Soviet Union.
"The guy playing your father is such a big shot, a superhero from the former Soviet Union? Captain Soviet Union? According to what you're saying, he might not cooperate with us, and he certainly wouldn't be easy to get in touch with, right?"
Qin Xiao asked curiously.
"They are indeed not easy to access."
Natasha shrugged and said.
"He lives in a Siberia prison!"
