Chapter Seventy-Four: The Big Mouse
This rat tide is a little more ferocious than the last time Bucky encountered, I don't know if it's Bucky's delusion, he seems to be able to feel a kind of emotion called greed from the eyes of these rats on the other side.
Just as Bucky pulled out two short swords from behind his waist, the rat tide attack began. Although this rat tide was not as numerous as the last time Bucky and the others encountered, this time the rat tide was even more ferocious, and countless rats not only pounced on Bucky from the ground, but also went up to the walls next to them and even the ceiling of the sewers. For a while, around Bucky, countless rats rained down directly from the sky.
The two Edelman Alloy Short Blades were impenetrable by Bucky's wielding, each sword could kill more than one or two mice, but in just a minute or two, Bucky's side was piled up with rat corpses nearly half a meter high.
In the face of the rat tide formed by these ordinary rats, Bucky didn't use all his strength, these annoying little guys can basically not cause any pressure on Bucky except for being able to greatly disgust Bucky, even if they occasionally dodge one or two rats decapitated by the short sword, they can only bite Bucky hard, but this kind of injury, between a few breaths, will heal.
Although it only takes a few seconds to fully recover from the bite, Bucky at this time still hopes that he can have a complete set of armor, and in the face of armor made of high-hardness titanium alloy, these rats have polished their teeth, and it is estimated that it is difficult to leave a trace on the high-hardness titanium alloy.
On the ground, Tony was already in a cold sweat at this time, and now he regretted joining the operation for the sake of picking up girls, although he didn't face this terrifying rat tide himself, but through the camera on Bucky's body, it was extremely bloody, and the rat corpses that had been piled up more than half a person tall had already made the young Tony rush out of the car and vomit once.
"Don't we really have to help Bucky? Oh my God, I bet there are definitely over fifty thousand rats here, and unless Bucky can put on a full suit of armor, he'll be eaten by the rats. ”
Maybe it's getting used to it, or maybe he's already vomited once, and when Tony gets back in the car and looks at the scene of Bucky slaughtering rats, he doesn't feel so disgusting anymore.
Coulson caught the word "armor" at once, looked at Tony and asked, "What armor?" Is it the kind of armor that Mr. Barnes has on his left arm today, and what does this armor do? ”
That's when Tony realizes that he's slipped out, remembering what Bucky had told him about armor to keep it a secret. But fortunately, Tony is also very smart, and said directly: "It's the armor of his left arm, as for what that thing is for, I don't know, I only know, that thing is at least made of iron, and the mouse will definitely not be able to bite it." ”
With that, Tony ignored Coulson and returned to the tablet in Coulson's hand.
At this time, Bucky has become more and more comfortable with killing, and he can always find the best time, and he can kill at least four or five rats with one sword, and even cut ten rats with one sword. Bucky couldn't help but think to himself, "This rat tide is disgusting, but it's a good opportunity to practice your melee combat skills, and maybe one day, I can use my short sword to split the bullet that shoots at me in two." ”
The more he thought about it, the faster the short sword in Bucky's hand became as fast as lightning, and it actually formed a whirlwind around him, and the blood of the rat was out of the control of gravity for a while, and with the whirlwind, it floated around Bucky.
What Bucky didn't know was that many years later, in a world-famous real-time strategy game, there was a skill called Blade Storm, which was adapted from his performance when he slaughtered rats this time, and as for who leaked this operation to a game developer, it was naturally a rich second generation who had little knowledge of supernatural powers.
After ten minutes of slaughter, Bucky found that the number of rats had decreased by half, and he had killed at least more than 10,000 rats in these hours.
"It's almost time to show some fatigue, and if you don't give the weird rat a hint, I'm afraid it won't show up after killing all these ordinary rats."
Thinking of this, Bucky began to gradually control the speed at which he slaughtered rats, and the short sword, which was originally as fast as lightning, gradually slowed down, and more and more rats climbed onto Bucky, but Bucky did not kill the rats on his body at the first time, and even Bucky endured the feeling of nausea and was deliberately bitten by the rats many times. In general, the current Bucky gives people the feeling that his physical strength has dropped greatly and he is about to be unable to hold on.
As Bucky continued to slay the rats, he retreated towards the path he had come, settling as if he couldn't beat him.
At the same time, on the ground, Coulson also said to the agents in the other cars through the walkie-talkie: "Follow the red dot, the bait plan has reached a critical moment, the target creature will appear at any time, ready for battle!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
Bucky felt that he was almost done, he should have shown enough weakness, if the monster rat really had a killing intention for himself, then it would definitely take action to stop his retreat, this creature with a very high IQ could not not know that this ordinary mouse alone could not keep himself.
Bucky's evacuation speed was not slow, it had almost reached the speed of ordinary people running, and he immediately distanced himself from the rat tide, but at this time Bucky was more cautious and more attentive to his surroundings.
Bucky's reasoning was not wrong, and just as he was about to leave the rat tide's vision, a rat the size of a house cat with dark blue eyes appeared in front of Bucky, blocking Bucky's path. And Bucky looked back at the rat tide behind him, and after the strange rat appeared, it scattered and disappeared into all corners of the sewers.
This is the same monster rat, which once used its small size to hide among ordinary rats and launch a sneak attack on a rodent extermination team of S.H.I.E.L.D., and wiped out the team of fifteen agents.
"The target appears!"
"That's it!"
Coulson and Tony had also seen strange rats in this form, and when they saw the strange rats appear, they immediately exclaimed.
Wade and Qin, who were in the same car, also lit up their eyes, and after waiting for a long time, it was finally their turn to make a move, and both of them were a little eager to try.
And Bucky is not so easy in the face of the strange rat, what kind of ability the strange rat in this form has, Bucky is not clear, but judging from the video data transmitted back before the last extermination of the rat extermination team, its speed is very fast, much faster than after it became larger. This time, after wandering around the sewers for so long, and slaughtering more than 10,000 ordinary rats, leaving himself covered in blood, Bucky didn't want to be run away by this monster rat because of his carelessness, not to mention that with the IQ of this monster rat, once this bait plan failed to completely solve it, then it would be difficult to lure it out again next time.
Facing his old rival, the monster didn't hesitate at all, and with a kick of his limbs, he jumped straight from the ground and lunged at Bucky's chest like lightning.
"So fast!" The crowd on their faces, who were watching the strange rats through the camera, exclaimed at the same time.
Indeed, the monster rat can definitely be called lightning fast in this form, and it only took a tenth of a second to cross a distance of four or five meters and appear in front of Bucky.
However, Bucky's speed is not slow, how could he be attacked so easily when he has been guarding against the monster rat, the left arm wrapped in the armor is blocked in front of his chest, and Bucky is using the newly made armor to try the monster's attack ability. At the same time, the Edelman Shortsword in Bucky's right hand slashed towards the mouse's abdomen.
The moment the rat's claws made contact with the armor of Bucky's left arm, sparks erupted, and there was a piercing sound of metal grinding.
A man and a rat quickly intersected, and in that confrontation just now, neither Bucky nor the monster rat could achieve much results.
Looking down at the three scratches left on the high-hardness titanium alloy armor that were two or three millimeters deep, Bucky's face couldn't help but gloomy, this strange mouse's claws seemed to be sharper and stronger than when it became bigger, and it was so easy to leave two or three millimeters deep scratches on the high-hardness titanium alloy, which is definitely not to be underestimated.
And the strange rat also **** his tail, just when he fought with Bucky, the strange rat used his tail to slam on Bucky's short sword, making the short sword slightly off, and brushed the body of the strange rat and slashed over, but failed to hurt the strange rat in the slightest.
Bucky and the strange rat couldn't help but be cautious, although this encounter was short, but it was thrilling, one was not careful, maybe the other party would be severely injured, or even killed.
The mouse's glowing blue eyes flickered, and it immediately changed shape, and suddenly grew from the size of a house cat to the size of the last time he fought with Bucky, a giant monster rat nearly three meters long. This is undoubtedly a smart choice, the short sword in Bucky's hand only has a blade of about thirty centimeters, for a strange mouse the size of a domestic cat, as long as the blade is pierced into the body of the monster rat for ten centimeters, it may be able to hurt the internal organs of the monster mouse, but for the giant monster that has been nearly three meters long and is eighty or ninety centimeters tall while lying on his stomach, even if the thirty centimeter blade is pierced into the body of the monster mouse, it may not be able to severely damage the monster rat.
With the transformation of the strange rat, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from it, making Bucky's heart feel terrified, this monster is even more powerful than the last time they fought each other!
"How long will it take to get through?" Coulson asked anxiously to the agent who was making a hole with a laser cutter.
Coulson had brought a total of three laser cutters and were simultaneously digging holes in the direction of the sewers, so that as long as the passage was opened, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents would be able to launch an attack on the monster rat in the shortest possible time.
"Twenty seconds." The agent replied to Coulson as he operated the laser cutter.
Twenty seconds was fleeting for Coulson and the others on the ground, but for Bucky, who was battling the Monster Rat, he had already fought the Monster Rats for several rounds in those twenty seconds, and each round was thrilling.
The strength of this strange rat is indeed a lot stronger for some reason, not only the scales on the surface of the body are stronger, even if you want to pierce the scales with a short sword made of Edelman alloy, it will take a lot of effort, and the strength of the strange rat has also increased a lot, especially the tail like a long whip, under its huge power, it has brought a lot of trouble to Bucky, and now Bucky does not dare to connect the tail of the monster rat at all, and it is definitely a broken bone to be hit.
Just as Bucky narrowly avoided the rat's claws on his head, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s support finally arrived. Three large circular holes about two meters in diameter appeared on top of Bucky and the mouse's heads almost simultaneously, and then three ropes hung down from above, and three heavily armed agents slid down the ropes.
As the three agents slid down, several grotesque shells shot out of their guns, hitting the rats. I saw that the cannonball did not explode, nor did it break through the scale armor of the strange mouse, but directly adsorbed on the surface of the strange mouse's body, and the next moment, Bucky found that those cannonballs immediately emitted an icy cold air, and a large amount of cold air enveloped the strange mouse at once, making the strange mouse's movements gradually stagnate, and turned into an ice sculpture.
Half a minute later, all the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents went down the sewers, and except for Coulson, who stood aside to command, the remaining dozen agents took out something similar to a fire extinguisher from the combat bag behind them and sprayed it at the strange rat, but instead of dry powder or foam, it sprayed a stream of cold liquid.
"It's liquid nitrogen, which can completely freeze the mutated rat so that it will never be able to escape." Coulson introduced Bucky.
Looking at the strange rat that had been frozen into a giant ice lump, Wade couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This is solved, it's too unchallenging, it's really easy to earn 100,000 US dollars!" Agent Coulson, although I didn't make a move, you shouldn't be repaying your debts, after all, you are a well-known organization, and this kind of behavior is not good! ”
"Mr. Wilson, please rest assured, we at S.H.I.E.L.D. are absolutely ......"
Before Coulson could finish speaking, Jean interrupted him, and his voice trembled a little: "No, it's coming out!" ”
"You guys, get out of there!"
Bucky didn't even ask Jean how he knew the rat was about to break through the ice, instead shouting at the agents who were still spraying liquid nitrogen at the rat.
But alas, Bucky is still a step too late.
The next moment, the thick layer of ice outside the monster rat's body immediately exploded, and the flying ice knocked the agent next to it out in an instant. Coulson's luck was good, all the ice blocks flying to this side were blocked by Qin's telekinesis, and they did not cause harm to an ordinary person of average strength.
Before the cold air around the strange rat could dissipate, Bucky saw that the strange rat's body began to grow violently, and it broke through the ceiling of the sewer in one fell swoop. That strange rat turned into a monster that was seven or eight meters tall and stood on two feet!
"Big ...... Big...... Big Mouse! Wade exclaimed, "What a big mouse!" ”
