Chapter 1640: Mister, Times Have Changed

Steve and Natasha, however, immediately guessed who it was.

It was just an ordinary electronic voice, but the annoying tone was very much like that of a certain tycoon.

Both of them looked at the source of the voice, and saw a spider drone shoot out of the corner and jump in front of them. “Get out of there. SHIELD’s Strike force is on its way.”

The door opened again.

Zola exclaimed, “Who are you? What are you doing? Ah, get out! Don’t touch that!”

Zola, who had initially sounded cold and calm, was now like a helpless girl who had been targeted by a hoodlum.

Tony, however, didn’t say a word as he started searching the database like crazy.

Completely uninterested in this monster, Natasha stepped forward, pulled out the USB, and ran to the door with Steve.

Now that she knew that the drive was part of Project Insight, and a certain tycoon had appeared, it wouldn’t be a problem to figure out what was inside.

No matter how difficult it was to crack the code, how hard could it be for someone who could be considered the inventor of the code?

They entered the elevator, and the doors closed automatically.

Soon, the two of them were on the surface. Steve looked around warily with his shield up, only to see that it was quiet. There was no one from SHIELD’s Strike force at all.

But he didn’t hesitate.

Trapping them in the computer room would have been the best choice for Hydra.

The person who had let them out was most likely Tony.

The tycoon was usually willful, but in a critical moment, he was very reliable, and would never compromise with Hydra.

Steve and Natasha got into the car and drove northeast.

Luke watched the tail lights disappear into the distance. He raised his head and saw several dark dots in the sky get bigger.

The special Strike force had arrived.

On the helicopter, Rumlow gave the team stern reminders, before they rushed out of the helicopters.

A moment later, he found it strange.

In contrast to Sitwell’s warning, the Strike force wasn’t attacked.

The abandoned camp was quiet, as if it didn’t care about their presence at all.

Sitwell contacted Rumlow again. “Head to the underground computer room. It might have been damaged earlier. We’ve lost the signal.”

Rumlow immediately gave his men the orders.

Four of them were left to stand guard at the entrance on the surface, while the rest took the elevator to the basement.

Just as the elevator descended, a tall and thin man charged in and killed the four team members at the entrance.

The eight people guarding the elevator immediately reacted and fired.

The person moved very quickly. He moved sideways in the dim barracks and shot eight team members with two pistols.

In just a minute, all twelve members were dead.

They were all loyal to Rumlow.

Steve was very popular in SHIELD, while Natasha had a lot of connections.

If they weren’t loyal, Rumlow wouldn’t have dared bring them out to hunt down the two agents.

With nothing to worry about, Luke killed all of them and instantly earned more than 5,000 experience and credit points.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened again.

Rumlow and the others had returned.

It wasn’t by choice – Tony was controlling the elevator.

Tony was busy dealing with Dr. Zola. When Rumlow and the others went down, he naturally didn’t open the elevator doors to the computer room for them.

The tycoon simply sent the eight of them on a round, and then sent them up again.

The elevator doors opened, and Rumlow, who knew that there was an intruder, rushed out with his team.

Suppressing Luke with firepower, he gnashed his teeth. “Grant Ward, you really betrayed us.”

Leaning against a pillar, Luke chuckled. “Captain Rumlow, I’m not your subordinate. I can prove I didn’t betray you.”

As he signaled to his subordinates to surround Luke, Rumlow said, “Is that so? Let’s see the proof.”

“Then listen up.” Luke said, “Hail Hydra~”

The shout was earth-shattering.

It echoed in the office.

Rumlow: …

His men: …

Rumlow glared. “Kill him.”

The team members who had already surrounded Luke immediately stood up and opened fire from both sides at the pillar.

Then… nobody.

It was empty behind the pillar.

Before the men could come back to their senses, gunshots rang out.

Bullets were fired from behind them one after another. Everybody screamed and fell. Almost everybody was shot in the butt and legs.

They were all wearing bulletproof vests and helmets.

Luke, who had used Ward’s identity as a double agent to muddy the waters, didn’t want anyone to think that Ward had suddenly become a sharpshooter.

So, he just needed to kill them with wild shots.

After they were shot in the leg, the eight remaining team members were unable to move quickly.

Luke killed them all with quick movements and wild gunfire.

The person who had taken the least number of bullets had still been shot five times.

Rumlow was the only one still alive, but he had been shot in the leg and arm. He could only scream and curse on the ground.

Luke walked over leisurely and put one gun back into its holster.

He unhurriedly reloaded the other gun. “Captain Rumlow, it seems that your Strike force isn’t great at combat. How disappointing. You want to become another leader of Hydra with this sort of capability?”

Rumlo gritted his teeth. “You’re?Hydra, you traitor. SHIELD won’t let you go.”

Luke clicked his tongue and crouched down in front of Rumlow. He patted his head with his left hand. “Look at you. You’re weak, pitiful and helpless. You only dare threaten me with SHIELD now. You’re a real embarrassment to Hydra.”

“What are you waiting for?” Rumlo said, “Kill me. Don’t think of trying to frame me.”

“Mister Rumlow, times have changed.” Luke drew his hand back, and his expression turned cold. “You’ve been following those old World War II coots all this time. How can you fight us?”

Rumlow didn’t say anything, and simply glared fiercely and hatefully at Luke.

The Strike force had real-time battlefield cameras on them, and the signal went straight to SHIELD HQ. At least a hundred people could be watching this.

It would be bad if he admitted that he was Hydra.

At SHIELD HQ, Sitwell’s expression was extremely ugly as he secretly sent a message to Pierce.

Very soon, the surveillance camera on Rumlow was cut off.

Pierce used his authority to directly cut off the communication line at SHIELD HQ’s command center.

Luke didn’t know about this for the time being, but that didn’t stop him from finishing his performance. “I know that you want to protect Sitwell and Alexander Pierce. After all, Director Pierce is someone your side painstakingly raised up to be a leader. However, now that Pierce has come forward, it won’t be long before he declares himself Hydra.”
