Chapter 63: Escape
A ray of light immediately brought hope to everyone, and when the dust cleared, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was a cave that was almost just enough for everyone to pass through, if it was a little narrower, I am afraid it would not be so easy to escape.
Hawkeye switched arrows again, and nailed a feathered arrow with a rope firmly into a stone above, pulling it twice hard, strong enough to support the weight of a person.
"Mr. Barnes, can you stop this damn monster a little longer?"
Of the people present, it was obvious that Bucky was the strongest fighting force, and Coulson hoped that Bucky would be able to take on the heavy responsibility of breaking off.
Coulson's words made Bucky a little distracted, and he was not paying attention, and was whipped hard by the strange rat with his tail, and snorted before shouting dissatisfiedly: "What do you think I'm doing now!" ”
Since Hawkeye blasted a big hole in the top of his head, the monster rat has obviously been a lot crazier than it was at the beginning, and Bucky, who originally had some small advantages, can now only fight with the monster rat. Although Bucky had left more than two dozen wounds of varying shades on the monster rat's body, he himself had been swept by the monster's whip-like tail several times, and there were several ribs that had been broken several times.
At this time, the strange rat is no longer attached to Bucky in front of him, and is always trying to get rid of Bucky's entanglement, and first deal with those agents who are much weaker. As a result, the pressure on Bucky is even greater, and it is not an easy job to stop a monster rat that is more than two meters long and has terrifying speed and strength, and several times, Bucky has to fight hard to eat the monster's attack to force it back.
On the other side, Hawkeye had crawled to the ground along the rope, and then began to grapple with the rope, pulling the other agent up with force.
The rat that was once again forced back by Bucky saw all this and let out a strange cry, and the next moment, the rat group that was besieging the agent suddenly stopped.
Before the agents could catch their breath, they were horrified to find that the rats had turned their heads in unison and surrounded Bucky, who was fighting the rats.
"Be careful, the rats are coming at you!" Coulson immediately shouted at Bucky.
In fact, there was no need for Coulson to remind him that when the rats began to surround him, Bucky discovered all this out of the corner of his eye.
Looking at the rats that attacked him at the orders of the rats, Bucky was very puzzled by the rats' behavior. Although the agents now have the possibility of escaping, because the escaped agents cannot continue to provide effective fire support, under the siege of the rat swarm, the more likely the agents who leave behind will not be able to escape, which can be seen from the fact that more and more rats have just broken through the fire net of the agents and rushed in front of them.
However, as more and more rats join Bucky in the battle with the monster rat and start harassing Bucky, Bucky no longer has the heart to analyze the psychology of the monster. These rushing rats didn't care about their own lives at all, they just leaned on Bucky, and it didn't matter if they could catch or bite Bucky, they just hoped that Bucky would be distracted a little and give the monster a chance to injure or kill Bucky.
Bucky danced the Edelman Alloy Short Sword in his hand into a sword net, like a meat grinder, constantly grinding the rats that approached him into minced meat, and after a while, Bucky's side was full of a thick layer of rat corpses, and Baki himself, his whole body was also stained with the blood of the rat swarm, and he looked very terrifying.
However, Bucky is not a robot after all, and he can't keep wielding the short sword, and finally a mouse takes advantage of Bucky's breathing to get through the sword net formed by the short sword, comes to Bucky's feet, and bites Bucky on the calf.
Although it was only a second for the mouse that had bitten Bucky's calf to be in a different place, it still caused Bucky a lot of trouble. The rat took advantage of the opportunity and plunged its sharp claws into Bucky's chest, as if to pull Bucky's heart out. Looking at the attacking claws, Bucky had no time to block, so he could only deflect his body as best he could, trying to dodge the monster's attack.
Bucky tried his best to dodge, but the rat's attack was too fast, and in the end, Bucky avoided the tragic fate of being scratched a large hole in his chest, but he still had a large piece of flesh torn off by the rat's claw on his left shoulder.
But fortunately, by this time, the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had already evacuated, and now only Agent Duncan was left in the sewers.
At the same time that Bucky was hit his left shoulder, an oxygen cylinder suddenly fell into the crowd of rats not far from Bucky, and then, there was a loud bang, and the impact of the explosion of the oxygen cylinder immediately emptied a large area of rats.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Although the sudden explosion made Bucky a little confused, fortunately his willpower was strong enough, and it only took less than a second for him to come to his senses again. Turning his head, Bucky found that Agent Duncan, who was more than twenty meters away, was waiting under the escape cave, holding an oxygen cylinder in his hand, and threw it towards another area where rats gathered. It was still Hawkeye who detonated the oxygen cylinder, and at this time, Hawkeye was holding a gun, half of his body leaned out of the cave, and in a very difficult position, he once again detonated the oxygen cylinder that Agent Duncan had just thrown.
"Let's withdraw, quick!" Agent Duncan shouted at Bucky waving at him.
Bucky also understands that if he doesn't withdraw at this time, he may really drown in the sea of tens of thousands of rats, although he has the ability to heal himself almost immortally, but he doesn't dare to guarantee that he will survive.
Bucky didn't hesitate any longer, and quickly ran towards the exit while the gap between the rats and the two oxygen cylinders had not been filled.
Naturally, the strange rat refused to give up, and immediately chased after him. However, although the monster rat was extremely fast, Bucky still had helpers, and from time to time, an oxygen cylinder would fall between Bucky and the monster rat, and then it would be detonated by Hawkeye, and in this way, he forcibly supported the progress of the monster rat, allowing Bucky to escape smoothly under the escape cave.
Bucky didn't need the rope hanging from the cave at all, and with a slight leap, he grabbed the stone wall in the cave with one hand, followed Hawkeye, and climbed out nimbly. Before he had time to observe the situation outside, Bucky grabbed the rope and, with a force of his arms, lifted Agent Duncan, who had already grasped the rope, upward.
However, just as Agent Duncan was about to come up, he suddenly cried out in pain, and as soon as the hand that had been holding the rope loosened, he was about to fall back into the sewer.
Bucky's eyes were quick, and he leaned down and grabbed Agent Duncan's falling as he stood, trying to lift him up. But when Bucky pushed hard, he realized that something was grabbing Agent Duncan's leg at this time, and he couldn't pull him at all. Looking closely, it turned out that it was the strange rat that bit one of Agent Duncan's legs, and no matter how hard Agent Duncan's other leg kicked the strange rat, it would not let go.
"Shoot, quick!"
Bucky yelled at several of the agents nearby, and the agents reacted, reaching into the cave and firing at the rats below. Perhaps because of the lack of scale armor in his mouth, Bucky vaguely saw a bullet from the tip of the mouse's mouth, bleeding a little.
Eventually, instead of holding on, the rat gave up trying to pull Agent Duncan back down the drain, and instead bit off Agent Duncan's entire calf and disappeared into the darkness again.
Looking at Agent Duncan, who was pulled up, missing a calf and wailing in pain, Coulson did not have the slightest sense of joy on his face, this operation, lost three excellent agents, and one was left with lifelong disabilities, and the result was only to eliminate tens of thousands of rats, which made Coulson angry in his heart.
