Chapter Seventy-Five: Smoke
“....”
Baron Straker's hands slowly left the computer screen, and the vertical scar that ran through his right eye began to ache again, and some very bad memories rippled silently, giving him the illusion that he had returned to the battlefield when blood and steel collided, smoke and death were filled.
After a while, Baron Straker withdrew his gaze and gave his own evaluation, "Interesting.."
"I'm sorry, I don't see anything interesting here."
However, the penguin was not as calm as he was, and he poked the ground back and forth with the tip of his umbrella in a rage, and said unceremoniously: "A man, just a man in a disguise and holding a cheap fire axe, single-handedly killed half of your soldiers!" ”
He held out his finger and pointed to the iron door that led from the rooftop to the downstairs, "In a few minutes, do you think that person will walk in through the door and talk to us about the night?" No! He'll wield a fire axe and chop you and me into flesh. ”
"Rest easy, Mr. Copote."
Baron Straker didn't even move his eyelids, but said coldly: "So far, he has not shown any special abilities beyond the norm, he can't fly to the sky, he can't be invulnerable, he can't control water and fire to control thunder..."
"Yes, he's just a mortal who can pierce the eyes of his enemies with the steel of a Newton's pendulum!" The Penguin sneered, "Whether you want to admit it or not, Mr. Straker, this matter is beyond your control. ”
"Trust me, it's still under control." Baron Straker said in a deep voice, "We have three groups of snipers and a tactical team. And I still have some back-up hands that I haven't used. ”
This sentence is true, as a deep-sea monster lurking on the dark side of human civilization, the hydra has accumulated over countless years and is by no means something that can be reflected by just a few dozen elite soldiers.
If you go back to the origin, the name of the Hydra organization comes from the monster Hydra in Greek mythology, which is the nine-headed serpent in the swamp killed by Hercules, the son of the main god Zeus and Alcmene in the Twelve Trials.
According to biochemistry, Hydra has a total of nine heads, and if one is cut off, two other heads will be born in their place, which is in line with Hydra's concept of "endless life, eternal evil".
The most important thing is that the Hydra organization implements a leader system, where each leader is responsible for a territory, controls certain resources, and has their own subordinates.
As one of the leaders of Hydra, Baron Straker naturally has hole cards, and now that time is pressing, he has no choice but to play his hole cards....
He didn't hesitate any longer, and pulled the laptop out, revealing a semi-cylindrical groove in the bottom of the suitcase, in which was a steel glove similar in structure to his prosthetic leg.
The penguin's face changed slightly, and he whispered, "Is this the 'Satanic Claw'?"
"One of the improved models." Baron Straker put his gloves on his prosthetic leg, took a deep breath, and slammed it into the ground, smashing dense gully cracks into the solid concrete.
He stretched his arm again, stretched out his five fingers and pressed them against the guardrail on the edge of the roof, the iron railing was as soft as mud in his hands, and in the blink of an eye it was wrung and crumpled into a mass of slag.
This prosthetic limb, known as Satan's Claw, is the work of countless Hydra scientists, and the time, manpower, material and financial resources consumed are incalculable, not only indestructible, can give the user more strength than ordinary people, but also burst out high-voltage electricity, spray flames, and shoot miniature missiles, which is equivalent to the combination of the prosthetic limbs of the Winter Soldier and the armor of Iron Man.
A hint of envy flashed in the penguin's eyes, although he was the most famous snake in Gotham, but compared to such a huge organization, it was still dwarfed.
"In that case, it should be about the same as dealing with him."
Baron Straker muttered to himself, his gaze on the silent iron door, and there was no trace of evasion or dodging in his eyes, only indifference and silence.
Tap, tap,
Footsteps came from inside the iron gate, and the Hydra soldiers who were standing in an arc on the sidelines opened fire with a resolute fire, pouring chains of bullets on the door.
After a while, the iron door had been blasted out by the bullets with countless dents, and it fell backwards under its weight and smashed on the stairs, making a loud "clang" sound.
And the staircase leading downstairs was still dark and secluded, and there was not a single light in sight.
The Hydra soldiers glanced at each other, silently took out a burning light rod from the pocket of the LBV's tactical vest, and threw it down the stairs.
The flickering of the delayed fuse, and a moment later a bright and dazzling fiery red glow bloomed in the darkness, and a Hydra soldier followed the firelight to look inside, but found nothing.
"He's not here...."
The words came to an abrupt halt, and a palm that poked out of the darkness grabbed his trouser leg and jerked it backwards, causing the soldier to lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground, dragging him back into the darkness.
"Fire! Fire! ”
In the communication channel, the soldiers roared hoarsely, and the fear of the unknown and death made these elites taste despair, and they could only vent in this impotent rage.
The grenades were thrown as if they didn't want money, and the powerful explosions that almost made the entire high-rise tremble slightly.
By the time the aftermath of the explosion had dissipated, the staircase was filled with smoke and sand, and the glow of the burning rod had not yet been extinguished, shining through the smoke and dust.
An American M8 smoke grenade was thrown from the staircase, and a Hydra soldier stepped forward to kick it away, but was killed by a bullet floating from nowhere.
In the blink of an eye, a thick gray-white smoke erupted, obscuring the view of the entire rooftop.
"What is this for? Didn't he know we had low-light night vision? ”
Baron Straker frowned slightly, the AN/PVS-21 night vision device used by this batch of Hydra soldiers is one of the fourth-generation low-light night vision devices with the highest technology content on the market.
There are objective lenses, infrared light-emitting diodes, night vision eyepieces, and even external HUDs through data interfaces, which can be connected to the thermal imager to provide a complete thermal image and low-light image superimposed renderings, which can be called a world-class black technology with 100% gold content, and the price is only 20,000 US dollars!
This also means that the standard smoke grenades do not play much role in front of the AN/PVS-21 low-light night vision device, and if the other party wants to use the smoke grenades to disrupt the formation of the Hydra soldiers, it is simply a fool's dream.
Without being reminded by Baron Straker, the Hydra soldiers had already consciously pulled down their night vision devices and firmly monitored the staircase through a low-light enhanced image.
In the smoke, a figure rushed out.
