Chapter 98 Scarlet light, mountains of corpses and seas of blood
"The situation is not good."
Marcus stared at Tony with a wary face, and secretly touched his lower back with his palms.
Logan put away his gun and said, "Mr. Stark, we have something to discuss."
At this moment, Tony seemed to remember something, "So it's you. It's not wise to steal the Avengers' things, but now"

"To be precise, that thing still belongs to Hydra."
Klaus on the side spoke without blinking and refuted Tony's words.
Tony turned to look at him, "Boy, be careful what you say. That was originally our thing, but it was stolen by Hydra guys."
After speaking, he turned his attention back to Logan. He could see that Logan was the leader of this team.
"Sorry sir, I can't help you this time."
While speaking, Tony raised his hands, a dazzling light flashed in his palms, and the energy gathered in them was ready to be released, "Everyone, squat down with your heads in your hands, I don't want any unnecessary casualties here."
Marcus and others looked at Tony's mecha's palm cannon and couldn't help but take two steps back in fear.
Although this was their first encounter with Iron Man, they had already heard about Iron Man's strength and understood that the power of his palm cannon should not be underestimated.
"Tony, what's going on over there?"
In the mecha, Steve's voice came from the communicator.
"It's okay. I caught a few stowaways. It seems they are also some guys who want to steal the scepter. I have them under control."
Tony responded in the mecha, his tone still very casual. It was obvious that he did not consider Logan and the others a threat.
"How are you doing over there? Have all the enemies outside been dealt with?"
At this time, he had noticed that on the battlefield behind him, the sound of gunfire was gradually decreasing, and the battlefield was gradually stopping. It seemed that the fighting had stopped.
"not yet."
Steve's tone was a little heavy, "There is a very fast guy blocking our way. The guy's speed is as fast as a ray of silver light. We can't lock on to him, and we are currently in a stalemate with him."
Judging from his tone, that guy obviously caused them a lot of trouble.
Tony listened to his words and was about to respond when he suddenly saw a black shadow flashing in front of him.
He suddenly came back to his senses and saw Victor flying towards him like a tiger, his sharp nails scratching the armor's mask without hesitation.
Click...
There was a harsh friction sound, and the paint on the mask was scratched by sharp claws, leaving several clear and deep claw marks.
"Shet!"
The sudden attack made Tony's expression darken. He raised his palm without hesitation and fired a bright beam of light at Victor's chest.
Victor had quick eyes and quick hands, and he dodged sideways.
The palm cannon grazed his clothes and hit the wall nearby.
boom!
The sound of explosions came, and a large gap was opened in the thick wall, with rubble flying everywhere.
"What's wrong?"
Steve's worried voice sounded from inside the suit again.
"fine."
Tony restrained his cynicism and became serious, saying in a deep voice: "I'm afraid you have to deal with that fast guy on your own. I have to arrest these smugglers first!"
Although Victor's attack didn't work, Tony could tell from his speed and strength that these guys were definitely not ordinary people.
At the same time, Victor turned to Logan and said, "You go and get the goods first, and I'll hold this tin guy down!"
He knew very well that if they didn't complete the mission quickly, they wouldn't be able to escape until the other Avengers eliminated the enemies outside and surrounded them.
They can't fight against all the Avengers now.
Logan glanced at Victor and frowned, but he didn't refuse. He just said, "Okay, be careful. This guy is not easy to deal with."
Although it is a bit risky to let Victor face Iron Man alone, this is the only way to do it now.
After all, they are now racing against time. Only by completing the mission before Steve and the others can they have a chance to escape. Otherwise, they may all be imprisoned by SHIELD forever.
But before leaving, Logan glanced at Victor and Tony on the other side, and then turned his eyes to John in the team, "John, you stay to assist Victor, be careful."
If it were the young Victor, Logan would naturally feel free to let him fight Iron Man alone.
After all, Tony's research on armor has not yet reached its peak, and the ability of the Mark 43 he wears is still relatively limited. Coupled with Victor's self-healing factor, it is enough to compete with him in a short time.
But now that Victor is old after all, his self-healing factor has declined very seriously, and his physical strength and physical strength have declined. Logan is really worried about him fighting Tony alone, and asking John to assist him can relieve him to some extent. pressure.
After hearing Logan's arrangement, John did not refuse. He nodded and said "Okay." After that, he turned to look at Tony who was confronting Victor. He jumped behind Tony and hugged him from the back. , trying to trap him with his own strength.
But he obviously underestimated Iron Man's power.
Tony glanced at him sideways and said calmly: "I'm not used to such intimate actions with men."
After saying that, he raised his elbow and hit John behind him hard.
puff!
A dull collision sounded, and Tony's elbow strike was like a hammer, hitting John's stomach and making a dull groan in his throat.
But he had no intention of loosening up, and planned to lock Tony tightly with his limbs.
After several consecutive elbow strikes failed, Tony was a little helpless and activated the thrusters on the soles of his feet.
A momentum directly pushed his body back heavily, and took John to the wall behind him.
Bang!
The solid wall sank instantly, forming a circle of dense cracks around it.
The violent collision made John feel that his internal organs were constantly surging, his throat groaned, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his limbs were forced to loosen and let go of Tony.
Tony was about to say a few words to John, but a black shadow flashed in front of him again.
Victor rushed towards him with his long claws, and his powerful fists made a sound of breaking wind. Tony was hit on the head by him accidentally, and the powerful force made the frame of the armor ring.
If it was a normal person's skull, it would at least be broken under this blow.
Fortunately, Tony was protected by the armor and did not suffer any damage.
But Victor's attack continued. This continuous attack made Tony unable to resist for a while, and the fists he swung would be detected by Victor and dodged.
Tony was a little annoyed for a while and said, "Jarvis, analyze his moves."
"Okay sir."
The voice of artificial intelligence Jarvis sounded from under the mask, and then began to scan Victor's offensive and analyze it.
A few seconds later, a set of enemy plans specifically for Victor was formulated.
Tony seemed to have evolved into a fighting master. He suddenly leaned back to avoid Victor's claws. At the same time, he raised his leg as if he knew what was going on. Almost at the same time, Victor's whip kick swept out, but was blocked by the mecha's calf.
Victor was stunned, and launched a fierce attack again, using all the fighting skills he had learned in his life.
But Tony at this time was no longer the passive punching bag just now. It seemed that he had become a fighting master on par with Victor in an instant. No matter how fierce Victor's attack was, he could easily block it.
"This... How is it possible!"
During the attack, Victor couldn't help but exclaimed, looking at the suddenly flexible armor, he was a little confused for a while.
You know, in his two hundred years of life, basically half of it was spent in battle. At least in terms of fighting skills, except for Logan, he has not met an opponent.
But now facing Tony, it seems that all his moves have been deciphered. Not only can he be easily blocked by Tony, but he can even hit him with a few heavy punches from time to time.
On Tony's side, after using the solution provided by Jarvis, it was much easier to fight with Victor. Whether it was defense or attack, the mask would give accurate prompts, and he just had to follow the prompts to complete it.
Gradually, he even crushed Victor in fighting, and his iron fist made Victor gradually unable to resist.
Taking advantage of a gap when Victor swung his fist, Tony bent down and swept out a leg.
Victor couldn't avoid it in time, and his legs were swept by the powerful force. He lost his center of gravity and fell heavily.
But before he fell to the ground, Tony kicked up like a ball, kicked Victor up again, stretched out both hands at the same time, condensed the palm cannon, and hit Victor's chest in mid-air without hesitation.
Boom!!!
The palm cannon accurately hit Victor's chest, and the powerful impact directly knocked Victor away and hit the wall behind him.
Boom!
The thick wall was suddenly knocked open by his impact, and a huge hole was opened.
Victor fell behind the hole, and the waste bricks on the wall directly buried him, raising a cloud of dust.
Tony looked at the pile of rubble in the dust, and could vaguely see Victor's bloody body under the ruins, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Finally solved."
Tony couldn't help but murmured. At least in fighting, this guy is indeed a tough opponent, and his strength and flexibility cannot be underestimated. After a fight, Tony's armor has been covered with many terrible claw marks.
Looking at these claw marks, Tony was even a little scared.
If he hadn't been wearing armor and fighting him like this, I'm afraid his chest would have been completely torn open by him.
But fortunately, it was finally solved.
Just as Tony exhaled and wanted to deal with John on the other side, a violent cough suddenly came from the rubble.
"Cough cough cough."
Victor's voice came again, and a hand stretched out from the rubble, pushed away the rubble buried on his body, and struggled to stand up.
At this time, Victor was obviously not feeling well. The palm cannon almost blew away all the flesh in front of his chest, his clothes were completely torn, his chest was bloody, blood kept dripping, and a clear blood mark flowed from the corner of his mouth.
But as Victor stood still, the blood in his chest recovered visibly, and the bloody chest seemed to be slowly repaired as if something was wriggling.
"It's okay?!"
Tony stopped and looked at Victor in disbelief.
The palm cannon he just used would have scrapped a car, not to mention a person.
But Victor not only took it, but also stood up. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to have the ability to continue fighting.
"Who are you?"
Tony instantly realized that these people could never be ordinary humans. Normal people could not have such strong defenses, unless this guy, like Steve, had been injected with super serum or had some kind of defense.
call out!
Just as he was thinking, a harsh sound of breaking wind suddenly came from behind him.
Tony's expression changed, but at Jarvis's reminder, he turned around suddenly and raised his palm to catch the flying thing.
It was a thick steel plate, about the same size as a table, made of solid material, and weighed at least dozens of kilograms.
The person holding the other side of the steel plate and waving it towards Tony was none other than John. He gritted his teeth and held on to the steel plate with a look of unwillingness to surrender in his eyes.
"Sneak attack is not a good boy."
Tony looked at John's gritted teeth and snorted disdainfully.
"Oh shit!"
John's eyes were full of anger, and he jerked his hands. The huge steel plate suddenly escaped Tony's grasp, and was pulled back by John.
The dozens of kilograms of steel plates made a loud noise when John swung them, and they fell towards Tony again.
Tony dodged, and the steel plate scraped against his face and hit the ground hard. The powerful force caused the floor to tremble slightly, and the dust was blown away by the heavy blow, and the dust flew up for a while.
Tony stepped hard on the steel plate, completely eliminating the possibility of John lifting it up to launch an attack.
However, he did not deal with John immediately, but looked at him curiously.
"You all seem to have special bodies."
He stared at John and noticed that there were no obvious wounds on the other person's body, and there were no restrictions on the movement of his limbs.
This is not normal. You must know that the impact just now is enough to cause serious fractures or even fatal injuries to ordinary people.
But this person is not doing anything at all, and he is even so powerful.
Thinking of this, Tony couldn't help but turn his head and look at Victor.
Although Victor's injuries have not completely healed at this time, the bleeding has stopped, and some minor scratches on his arms have also completely healed.
Recalling Victor's strength and speed just now, Tony also had a suspicion in his mind and asked the two of them: "Are you mutants?"
Except for super soldiers like Steve who have been injected with super serum, the only people who can physically resist blows and also have strong strength and speed are mutants who have mutated.

…
While there was a fierce battle here, Logan had already led Marcus and Klaus deep into the castle.
At this time, the entire castle was completely in chaos due to the Avengers' attack.
Some technicians were sitting in front of the computer, frantically deleting all kinds of data, and throwing some paper files into the burning fireplace.
The soldiers in the castle were also in a hurry, running around in the castle with rifles.
Logan led a few people to carefully avoid these Hydra people, entered a long and narrow staircase, and headed deep into the castle.
"Shh!"
In the basement of the castle, Logan suddenly leaned on a corner, put his finger in front of his mouth and hissed softly, then pointed behind the corner, "Someone is coming."
After a while, there was a dense sound of footsteps. It was a small team of Hydra soldiers.
As they approached, Logan nodded heavily at Klaus and Marcus.
The next moment, three people flew out at the same time.
Logan's steel claw easily penetrated the heads of the two soldiers, and Klaus and Marcus also wiped the necks of the two guards with their daggers.
A Hydra team had no chance to resist and all died.
This is already the fifth team they have dealt with along the way. They were all dealt with cleanly and decisively, and there was no danger along the way.
After hiding the bodies of those people, Logan continued to lead a few people to explore the depths of the castle.
"This castle is too big. If we continue to shine like this, let alone guards blocking it, even if there are no guards, we won't be able to find it tomorrow."
Klaus looked at the passages in the basement and felt dizzy.
They have been wandering down there for a long time, and it feels like there is no end here.
Logan frowned and looked at the passages extending in all directions. It felt like walking through a maze. Guys like Hydra had dug dozens of kilometers of underground into their basements.
Finding a scepter in such a big place is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
"Look for each other separately."
Logan ordered with a frown.
Although he had some impression of the location of the Mind Scepter, he only remembered that it was in the basement, but he didn't know exactly where it was.
After all, the drawings of the castle were not released in the movie.
"That's all we can do."
Marcus sighed helplessly. Although it was more dangerous to search separately, at least the chance of finding the goods was greater.
"Okay, I'll look for the left."
Klaus nodded and immediately walked to the left. At the same time, he used his invisibility ability and disappeared into the passage.
Invisibility can save him a lot of unnecessary troubles and allow him to search faster.
"Then to my right."
After Marcus finished speaking, he set off cautiously.
Logan continued to move forward.
As the three of them dispersed to search alone, a graceful scarlet figure slowly walked out of the dark corner behind them, staring at the direction they were leaving.
After dozens of minutes of searching, Logan found a laboratory.
There were still many guards and researchers inside. Even though there was continuous gunfire outside, these researchers were still busy at the lab table. It was unknown whether they were destroying the experimental results or continuing their research tasks.
However, Logan did not intend to waste time with them. He took out a few grenades looted from the bodies of the guards and threw them in.
Boom boom boom!!!
As the explosion sounded, the entire laboratory was directly scrapped. All the researchers and guards were killed in the explosion. Even though there were a few who stood farther away and did not die immediately, lying in a pool of blood and wailing, Logan did not let them go. He took out his pistol and decisively ended their lives.
After searching the laboratory, although he did not find the scepter, Logan unexpectedly found a passage leading to a deeper place.
Logan looked at the passage and walked down carefully.
Soon, he came to an empty hall with no one. The Mind Scepter was placed in the middle of the hall, on a shelf, with a beautiful glimmer on the top.
In addition to the scepter, Logan also found five light blue super serums in the freezer in the basement.
Logan's eyes lit up, and without even looking at the scepter, he rushed straight into the freezer and put all the serums in his pocket.
Although he knew that at this stage, these super soldier serums could not turn people into super soldiers like Steve with just one, they could still slightly increase human functions.
However, there were obviously only five in this base, and Logan guessed that the others might be hidden in the headquarters of Strucker's base.
After putting away the serum, Logan looked at the Mind Scepter, thought for a while, and walked forward to take it off.
But as soon as he reached out, he felt a flash of scarlet light behind him.
The next second, before he could react, everything in front of him suddenly disappeared completely.
What came into view was a gloomy and terrifying sea of blood and corpses, with countless corpses soaking in the bubbling sea of blood.
With his arrival, the corpses suddenly moved, and countless eyes belonging to the undead all stared at him.
