Chapter 549 Heart Set on Death
The red and blue afterimage that hit the Vanguard Guard didn't stop. Instead, it bounced off at another angle, hitting another Vanguard Guard. This repeated, bouncing several times among the Vanguard Guard before finally losing its powerful momentum and being casually swatted away by a Vanguard Guard who reacted.
The afterimage that was swatted into the air revealed its true form, which was Captain America’s iconic weapon—the vibranium shield. The shield tumbled in the air before suddenly stabilizing. It first shook for a while, and then unexpectedly flew towards a direction on its own.
A Vanguard Guard was standing in that direction. Seeing that the shield's momentum wasn't very strong, the Vanguard Guard wanted to imitate its partner and swat away this inexplicably flying shield. However, it suddenly felt footsteps coming from behind. Turning its head, it saw Steve dodging and maneuvering, evading the attacks of other Vanguard Guard as he ran towards it.
The Vanguard Guard roared and decided to prioritize dealing with Steve in front of it. The danger level of the shield was not high, but Captain America's danger level was slightly higher. Only when Captain America picked up the shield would his danger level rise sharply.
Swinging out its pair of right hands, claws cut through the air, creating a sharp sound. Seeing this, Steve immediately lowered his body, performing a sliding shovel to slip under the Vanguard Guard's crotch, and then directly meet the flying shield.
Raising his right arm, the special gauntlet was now emitting a faint light. The shield in the air was attracted by it, returning to Steve's right arm like a swallow returning to its nest.
Not daring to linger, Steve, catching the shield, used his right knee as the center to spin around. The Vanguard Guard behind him also happened to turn around, and his right hand, bound with the shield, just caught the claws swung down by the Vanguard Guard.
"Clang!"
The Vanguard Guard's attack was steadily received. For a moment, the two were evenly matched. However, Steve understood that if he wasted any more time, he would only be torn into fragments by the surging Vanguard Guard army.
Triggering the button on the right hand gauntlet, a surge of purple energy erupted from the five-pointed star symbol in the center of the shield, sending Steve and the Vanguard Guard who were trying to pounce on him flying out.
"Wakanda's technology is indeed good." Steve glanced at the shield in his hand with satisfaction. This small function, ever since it was installed on the shield, had saved him more than once. Moreover, with it, Steve could play even more new tricks.
Casually using the shield to knock down a few Vanguard Guard who pounced on him, Steve pressed another button on the gauntlet, and then threw the shield in his hand out again. The shield once again turned into a red and blue afterimage, the five-pointed star symbol in the center constantly flashing, emitting a dangerous smell.
"Natasha!" Steve used excellent fists and feet to trip an enemy, then shouted at Natasha, who was unleashing firepower.
"Shoot at the shield!"
"Don't ask the impossible, Captain!" Natasha shot through another enemy, one handgun vigilantly guarding against enemies that might attack at any time, while the other handgun obediently aimed at the shield that was thrown out.
Without spending too much time aiming, Natasha decisively pulled the trigger. The energy bullet, flashing with light, left the gun without making any sound, and after a short flight, it concentrated on the shield in the air.
"Bang! Boom!"
First, there was a muffled sound, followed by a deafening explosion. Purple energy erupted from the shield's center in all directions. The surrounding Vanguard Guard were hit one after another. The lightly injured ones had severed hands and legs, while the seriously injured ones died on the spot.
The cooperation between Natasha and Steve once again cleared out a small vacuum open area. This gave Natasha, as a marksman, a chance to catch her breath. She rolled and neatly broke out of the encirclement, arriving at a safe area to join up with her teammates.
The four fought and retreated, finally converging. Each person faced one direction, resisting countless enemies. Natasha looked at the uniquely shaped handgun in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
If it weren't for the plumber called Four Arms who threw this thing to her, ordinary guns would have run out of ammunition long ago, and she would have fallen into the embarrassing situation of close combat early on.
Although the dual guns in her hands didn't require her to reload ammunition, they would still overheat. Natasha had to dissipate heat from the handguns from time to time. Fortunately, she controlled the rhythm very well, and there was always one handgun that could fire.
What was encouraging was that the four Avengers, through their personal abilities and cooperation, actually suppressed the Vanguard Guard troops for a time. But everyone knew that this was only temporary.
Just like what was said before, these Vanguard Guard were inexhaustible. They had once relied on Wakanda's shield to resist countless Vanguard Guard armies, but every time they thought Thanos had suffered heavy casualties, another endless Vanguard Guard army would appear before long.
Fortunately, this plumber base was small, and the Vanguard Guard could only drill in batch by batch. If they were in an open area, Steve and the others might be directly crushed to death by the army.
However, when the Avengers finally exhausted their stamina, although there were superhuman among them, they were not guys of Thor's level after all. They would feel tired. Although they had achieved good results for a time, their death was when they were exhausted.
"We need to find a method to break through!" Steve said after knocking down he didn't know how many Vanguard Guard. The corpses of Vanguard Guard around him were about to pile up into a human wall.
"We know!" Natasha shouted. The Vanguard Guard army was coming more and more fiercely, and with the loss of stamina, her rhythm of firing guns was soon going to be uncontrollable.
"So if you have a plan, just say it! Don't raise problems, because I'm also thinking about this problem!"
Everyone knew that to survive, they could only break through, but how to break through was indeed a problem as difficult as ascending to the sky. The Vanguard Guard didn't want to give them a chance to breathe at all. Such a high frequency of attack, whether it was Zhang Liang's plan or crossing the wall, was of no use.
"I have a method." Steve looked at the shield in his hand. "Wait for me to say run! You guys have to run!"
"Wait, Captain! You don't mean to..." Falcon chopped a Vanguard Guard in half at the waist, then took time to glance at Steve beside him, and found that the other party was looking at the shield with a determined gaze. He immediately understood what the other party's method was, and was about to stop him, but was stopped by Steve's gaze.
"This is the only method, soldier!" Steve tightened the straps of the shield. "If the battle is over, bury my cenotaph with Carter."
A cenotaph represented that the corpse was not found. Everyone could see Steve's determination. Clint and Natasha fell into silence. As teammates who had fought alongside Captain America for many years, they naturally knew the latter's personality and that they could not stop him.
"Preserve more living power, Sam." Steve showed a bright smile, just like when he first became Captain America, and then prepared to rush out, getting as far away from his teammates as possible.
But at this moment, Steve only felt that his legs were weak and disobedient. Gradually, his brain felt a burst of dizziness, and then he fell to the ground weakly.
Before fainting, Steve only felt that he smelled a strange fragrance.
