Chapter 498: Helping Ultron
"What?!"
For the power of the Leopard 2A6M tank, the general can be described as full of confidence.
However, the reality is unusually a slap in the face.
The powerful characteristics of the vibranium shield live up to its reputation as invincible.
Even the damage of tank artillery could not break through the shield's defenses and damage the two Avengers behind it, Captain America and Natasha.
If the bullets and rockets before let him know that conventional weapons can't do much damage to these so-called superheroes, then Steve's hard response to the cannonballs made him feel a little more frightened of the existence of extraordinary power as a soldier.
Such a power has completely surpassed the imagination of human beings, and it is no wonder that in the historical propaganda of the United States, Captain America is called a one-man army.
Originally, the general thought that this was just a slogan shouted by the United States for propaganda during World War II, but now he reacted to Steve's strength, and it turned out that American propaganda was not exaggerated.
"The Avengers must not be allowed to get out of the base alive!"
After being shocked by Captain America's power, a deep sense of unease welled up in the general's heart.
After all, the whole world knows that the Avengers are not only the two in front of them, but the strength of Captain America alone has already made them feel a little tricky in the base, and if they wait until all the members of the Avengers are dispatched, even the arrogant general is not guaranteed to be able to compete with them.
After all, this is a team of superheroes who have fought alone against an alien legion that is far superior to humans in terms of technological strength.
On the other hand, the general also knows very well in his heart that if the huge monster in the base is exposed, Justin, as the Prime Minister of Canada, will never admit that there is such a thing.
"All soldiers, don't worry about the experimental equipment and monsters around you, give me an attack on the Avengers!"
Thinking of this, the general suppressed the last trace of concern in his heart, withdrew his gaze from the giant monster, and immediately gave the order to attack indiscriminately.
Bang bang β
Boom β
With the general's order, the soldiers no longer left their hands behind, and a large number of bullets and shells turned into a terrifying metal storm and emerged the Avengers on the opposite side.
In the face of these surging firepower, Steve's expression became noticeably more cautious.
Although the vibranium shield in his hand is powerful, the range of defense has a limit after all, and he was already a little struggling to resist those scattered bullets before, but now he is facing more fierce artillery fire, which undoubtedly makes Steve fall into a passive situation.
In the current situation, he couldn't dodge because there was Natasha behind him, but if he didn't dodge these flying bullets, sooner or later they would fall on him through the gap in the shield.
The vibranium shield is indestructible, but it doesn't mean that Steve himself holding the shield is also indestructible.
Although his own physical fitness has far surpassed ordinary people under the reinforcement of the super soldier serum, it is far from being able to meet bullets or even shells unscathed.
There may be a few members of the Avengers who can do this, but it's definitely not him.
Standing behind Captain America, Natasha struggled to move her body to avoid the stray bullets, but she was still accidentally grazed by a stray bullet that hit her arm.
"Hmm!"
Gritting her teeth to withstand the pain of the bullet grazing the flesh, Natasha glanced down at her bloody arm, raising her hand to cover the bleeding wound while continuing to dodge the flying bullets. In the current situation, she can't let her injuries affect Steve's movements.
"Good, the Avengers are already injured!"
Although, Natasha has tried her best to avoid her injury affecting Steve in front of her.
However, the action of her holding her shoulders was still low, and the bright red blood that fell to the ground was quickly discovered by the general in front of her.
Noticing the wounded Natasha, a smile began to appear on the general's originally gloomy face.
Seizing this opportunity, the general immediately opened his mouth to shout.
Under the rain of bullets, the general's shouts were not obvious, but they were still heard by Steve, who has superhuman hearing.
Knowing that Natasha was injured behind him, Steve's original movement of carrying the shield in his hand was immediately paused.
And at this moment of his pause, a shell from inside the Leopard 2A6M tank landed on the ground in front of the two with a huge boom.
The huge impact caused by the instantaneous explosion of the cannonball, which Steve was caught off guard, directly blasted the two Avengers away.
Click, click-
"I admit, Captain America, your presence is a huge warning sign to me."
After a few seconds, the smoke from the shells cleared, and the general raised his hand to stop the shooting of the soldiers behind him.
He stepped on the rubble to Steve and Natasha, stopping himself at a safe distance, looking down at the fallen Avenger and the fallen vibranium shield.
"The power of superheroes is beyond my imagination, but at the same time, I am very grateful for your appearance, it is precisely because of your appearance that I am more and more confident in the next plan, as long as I can crack the power of this huge monster, Canada will also control and create super soldiers who will not lose to the United States, and even surpass the Avengers."
"And now we don't just have the power of a giant monster......
Turning his head to look at the huge monster on the other side, the general took a deep breath, and then said in silence: "At the same time, there is also the power of Captain America." β
That's right, although in the beginning, the General's idea was to eliminate the Avengers who broke into the military base.
However, looking down at Steve and Natasha, who had fallen to the ground and their fate was uncertain, the general's thoughts changed.
At this moment, he not only wants the power of the giant monster, but also has ambitions for the power of the super soldier serum in Captain America's body.
It would be a shocking thing if Canada could master both of these forces at the same time.
Zizi~
Thinking of this, the expression on the general's originally unsmiling face couldn't help but change.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the excitement in his heart, the general retracted his gaze from the Avengers on the ground and placed them on the vibranium shield that had fallen to the other side.
Raising his eyebrows, recalling the appearance of Captain America fighting before, the general really wanted to step forward and pick up this shield.
The bright lights in the base suddenly began to flicker.
"Huh?"
The flickering light overhead made the general stop his movements, but before he could react to the situation in front of him.
I heard the exclamations of tank crews from the Leopard 2A6M not far away.
Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of the general, I saw that the muzzle of the tank, which was originally aimed at the direction of the Avengers, began to slowly change direction and aim at the general's position.
"What are you doing, soldiers!"
Looking at the empty muzzle of the Leopard 2A6M in front of him, the general's heart shrank, as an ordinary person, he didn't think that he could take the attack of the cannonball like Captain America and still not be blown to pieces.
With a cold face and trying to keep the panic in his heart from appearing on his face, the general looked at the leopard 2A6M in front of him and scolded in a deep voice: "Stop your operation for me immediately!" β
"Sir, we didn't do anything!"
In the face of the general's reprimand, the same panicked voices of the tank crews came from inside the tank car.
As reported by the soldiers, they did not have any maneuvering in the tank, but the muzzle of the Leopard 2A6M turned to aim at the general's position.
"Look, something is moving towards the tank!"
At this moment, a soldier standing behind the tank noticed the strange appearance on the Leopard 2A6M, and as he shouted, everyone in the base found that a humanoid robot with a silver and white body was really climbing on top of the Leopard 2A6M in an unusually fast posture.
Controlling his mechanical hands and feet to climb onto the tank, Ultron stepped on the roof of the Leopard 2A6M and at the same time accompanied by a blue light flashing in his eyes, and warned the people in front of him with his gentle and rational voice: "Everyone, please stop your movements and leave the captain's position at the same time." β
"You're also a member of the Avengers!"
Staring at Ultron, who appeared on the Leopard 2A6M, the general said coldly.
"I'm Ultron, an artificial intelligence robot created by Mr. Stark."
Faced with the general's questioning, Ultron immediately introduced his identity.
Thanks to Canada's upgrade of the Leopard 2A6M, the modernization has made the Leopard 2A6M easier to operate, but it has also given Ultron a plan to take advantage of.
Through the intrusion of the electronic system within the Leopard 2A6M, Ultron easily took control of the tank, turning the deadly weapon that originally belonged to Canada into a weapon in the hands of the Avengers.
"I don't believe you dare to attack me with cannonballs, unless you want to provoke a war between Canada and the United States!"
Looking directly at the pitch-black muzzle in front of him, the general's attitude was unusually firm.
The death of a general, if not a war, will definitely have an impact on the relationship between Canada and the United States.
And as the avenger who created the fuse of this conflict, he will definitely pay the price for it.
The blue gaze swept over the general in front of him, a large amount of data flashed in Ultron's eyes, and he quickly reacted: "Indeed, as you said, General, the Avengers can't hurt you." β
Hearing Ultron's answer, the general's face did not change in the slightest on the surface, but he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
However, before the general's original heart was completely let go, he saw Ultron controlling the gun muzzle of the Leopard 2A6M to move away from the general's body and aim at the huge monster not far away.
"Although the Avengers cannot harm you because of the complex relationship between the two countries, you are not the only one who can be a threat in the base."
Boom β
This time Ultron didn't care, and as its words fell, a powerful cannonball landed on the giant monster in the midst of a huge cannonball.
ββ¦β¦β
In the newly built antique store, witnessing everything that happened in the base, Li Ran twitched the corners of his mouth.
He is recruiting someone to provoke whom, obviously [Gamera] has not yet acted, why did he mention the lying gun.
"No, stop, do you know what you're doing?!"
Obviously, Ultron's action obviously threatened the general, and his originally unsmiling expression changed for a moment, looking at the stones on the huge monster's body that were constantly peeling off in the explosion, the general's expression changed drastically and shouted.
As an artificial intelligence, Ultron's attack was naturally not unreasonable, and the use of damage to the giant monster successfully attracted the attention of the general, and it immediately opened its mouth to give its own conditions: "If, General, you don't want to watch this huge creature be damaged by the destruction of the cannonball, then please ask your soldiers to stop what they do." β
"You're threatening me!"
"That's right, General."
With an angry gasp from his mouth, the general's gaze stayed on Ultron's humble machine face for a long time before he suppressed the urge to let the soldiers shoot directly, gritted his teeth and ordered: "All soldiers, according to what he said, put down the guns in their hands." β
The general knew very well that Ultron's attack on the giant monster was both a threat and a reminder, if he still ignored the soldiers around him to attack, then it was very likely that the location of the cannonball would not be on the giant monster's body, but on his own body.
ββ¦β¦β
In the face of the commander's order, the soldiers in the base looked at each other for a while, and finally chose to obey the order and lowered the muzzle of the gun in their hand to the ground.
"Captain, Natasha."
Seeing the soldiers around him press down the muzzle of their guns, Ultron's eyes flashed with a blue light, and he immediately opened his mouth and shouted to Captain America and Natasha who were lying on the ground.
"Ahem, ahemβ"
With the shout of the artificial intelligence, the two people who were still motionless immediately began to slowly stand up on the ground.
Although the power of the explosion was huge, it had not directly caused the two to lose consciousness.
The reason why they chose to pretend to be unconscious while lying on the ground was actually to trick the general into approaching, and then seize the opportunity to control the other party.
However, before Steve's plan could unfold, Ultron, who arrived in time, managed to suppress the situation.
Moreover, although the disguise of the two Avengers is wonderful, there are obvious flaws in the powerful scanning function of Ultron, and from the analysis of the heartbeat and breathing of the two, the artificial intelligence immediately knows the situation of the two.
Zizi.
Reaching out to help Natasha, who was injured on the side, Steve pressed the button in his hand, and the next moment he saw that the shield that was lying on the ground flew directly back into his hand under the effect of the magnet device.
"It looks like even without this Ultron robot, you'll still be able to escape from the base without any problems, Captain America."
Looking at the avengers who stood up, a look flashed in the general's eyes, and he reacted instantly.
