"For God's sake, our plan is to sneak in and arrest them!"
Black Widow weakly slapped her forehead.
"I expected this. This is their way of expressing dissatisfaction with the operation. Activate the jamming device. I don't want the headlines about two superheroes robbing drug dealers to be on tomorrow's front page!"
Qin Xiao and Tony Stark are now among the most famous people in the world. It's easy for Qin Xiao to be unrecognizable if he covers his face, but Iron Man's armor is just too easily recognizable.
They didn't want to expose the team, nor did they want the two of them to be exposed; they had already made preparations.
Coulson's voice came through the headphones.
"Let them be. You and Hawkeye keep an eye on any leaks and make sure no one escapes. Our people in Mexico are already on the outskirts; leave the rest to them!"
As expected, the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. were absolutely meticulous in their work.
Needless to say, the forces deployed here were arranged by Nick Fury; they were a secret armed force operating illegally within S.H.I.E.L.D..
Even though these drug dealers were well-equipped and numerous, they still caught Iron Man off guard when he descended from the sky.
He suddenly flew down from the sky in the middle of the night, wearing armor that was impervious to swords and spears; conventional weapons were completely useless against him.
These drug traffickers, who were comparable to a regular army, didn't even have time to pull out their powerful weapons to fight back.
The wall next to the gate collapsed with a loud crash.
A thin, frail-looking figure burst in like Beast.
It not only smashed through a wall that was over ten meters high, but also brute-forcely destroyed several nearby watchtowers.
All the bullets that hit him bounced off; he was practically a human tank.
It's the kind with massive horsepower and incredibly thick armor.
As soon as Qin Xiao entered the battlefield, Tony in the sky immediately and tacitly switched to cruise mode.
They circled the manor repeatedly, not only eliminating some drug dealers who were hiding in the corners.
On the contrary, they accurately located the drug traffickers' hiding places for weapons and drugs, and two miniature missiles were launched, directly igniting tons of drugs and a sky full of gunpowder fireworks.
A sea of fire engulfed the once-grand estate, Kung Fu Hustle to half-ruins in an instant.
Tony in his armor and Qin Xiao, a miniature Hulk, were like a game-changer for the unprepared drug dealers.
Anyway, by the time Black Widow and Hawkeye arrive...
That's the scene before my eyes.
"Hiss!"
The two of them gasped.
"It has absolutely no technical content!"
Hawkeye curled his lip in disdain, but the hint of envy in his eyes did not escape the notice of Black Widow beside him.
What hot-blooded man wouldn't love a headlong, chaotic battle?
"It seems we underestimated Qin's combat capabilities; he's practically a miniature Hulk!"
Black Widow muttered something as well.
He then spoke loudly into the headphones.
"Don't linger. Stark has destroyed the armory. Leave the outside to us. Don't forget my objective. Don't let them escape through the tunnels."
"Don't worry, he can't escape!"
Tony Stark's confident voice came through the headphones.
"Qin, go check around Celesto's room to see if he's still there! JARVIS, scan the underground passages of this manor!"
Even the most secret passages are no match for Tony's advanced technology.
Almost immediately after Qin Xiao received the news that he couldn't find Celesto.
The screen inside Tony's mask already displayed a map showing the layout of the underground passages.
"Sir, there are at least a dozen secret passages beneath this manor, and there should be measures in place to shield it from heat sensors."
JARVIS's words were simultaneously transmitted to everyone's headphones.
More than ten secret passages? That's a bit of an exaggeration.
"Think of something, JARVIS!"
Tony answered without hesitation.
"Yes, sir!"
JARVIS restarted the scan of the underground passage, and the results came back in less than thirty seconds.
On Tony's screen, a passageway was marked with a red line on the floor plan of the secret passage.
"There's some magnetic interference in this passage, probably due to a thick layer of metal. If I were that drug lord, I'd definitely choose this one. Safety first, sir!" (Whether the thick metal layer would cause magnetic interference, I honestly don't know, let's just assume it does, ignore the details, haha!)
"Well done, JARVIS!"
Tony's armor flew directly outside the manor, the armor on his shoulders activated, and an armor-piercing round was steadily fired towards the ground.
Tony was clearly prepared; the miniature missile turned into a drill-like object the moment it touched the soil.
It burrowed deep into the ground.
They drilled to a depth of almost four or five meters, grinding a small dent into the steel inside, before finally exploding with a deafening roar.
A large patch of soil was stirred up.
It's unclear how thick a layer of steel the drug lord had reinforced the tunnel, but Tony's specially made bomb only blasted a crater a few dozen centimeters thick in its surface.
"Qin, I didn't prepare that many missiles. The steel plates here can't be more than a meter thick, otherwise the rock layers below wouldn't be able to support them. Where's your weapon that can split steel?"
"Here I am!"
Qin Xiao arrived upon hearing the sound, leaping several times to reach the vicinity of the crater Tony had created.
After jumping down, he didn't waste any more words. Following the steel plate that had already been blasted away by the missile, he directly took out his Tang sword and thrust it in.
A piercing metallic scraping sound rang out.
The heavy steel plate met Qin Xiao's incredible strength and Tang sword's ability to cut through iron like mud, and with a sickening sound, it was sliced open, creating a skylight the size of a square tile.
A huge passage, more than two meters high and almost three meters wide, was revealed below.
"Drug lords are indeed incredibly wealthy!"
Qin Xiao muttered something and rushed into the passage in the opposite direction of the manor.
I don't know if it's because there are too many underground passages in the manor, or because it avoids some underground sewers and other infrastructure.
The passage wasn't straight; Qin Xiao ran for about ten meters before encountering a bend.
Qin Xiao was highly skilled and daring, and unafraid of any ambushes, he charged straight ahead.
Da da da da!
We had barely turned the corner; we hadn't even seen what was happening on the other side yet.
A sound like a Gatling gun barrel spinning followed by a gunshot rang out.
The terrifying rate of fire filled the entire passage with bullets almost instantly.
"Holy shit!"
Qin Xiao cursed inwardly and instinctively reached out to protect his head.
Although you're practically invulnerable now, being hit in the face by a hail of bullets is definitely not a pleasant experience.
The clanging and clattering sounds were accompanied by Mars as bullets bounced back and forth between Qin Xiao's body and the steel plates of the passage.
"Damn it, I'm going to shove this machine gun up your ass."
Qin Xiao was enraged by the barrage of bullets.
When the gunfire stopped, he lowered his hand and said viciously.
He had barely peeked out when he saw a metal arm swinging horizontally toward him.
