“Kyle has arrived—”
This phrase was often used by the German citizens as a means to intimidate children.
In the hall on the second floor of the base, Hydra’s armed guards couldn’t help but feel their scalp tingling and a shiver running down their spine as they watched Kyle burst in from outside the window.
They were not afraid of dying in battle, but they were afraid of being directly cut down like pigs and cabbages.
If the enemy was only Steve, the guards were confident that they could overpower him with their numbers. However, with the addition of the ‘Executioner’ Kyle, the situation was completely different.
Red Skull, who had a clearer understanding of Kyle’s personal strength, naturally understood this point. So when he saw Kyle’s figure appear, he didn’t hesitate for a moment before he decisively turned around and rushed towards the underground passage of the base.
“Trying to run again?” Kyle entered the hall, his gaze first falling on Steve to ensure his safety, and then immediately locking onto Red Skull’s location.
Seeing Red Skull attempting to escape, Kyle coldly snorted as he wielded his sword and quickly stepped forward to pursue him.
At this moment, Steve no longer pretended to be weak and launched an attack. He stood up, swiftly knocking out the two guards who had been restraining him. With his right hand holding the shield, he stared coldly at Red Skull.
Red Skull clearly sensed the coldness coming from behind his neck so he yelled with a furious expression on his face as he desperately tried to speed up his escape, “Stop them!”
“Yes!” The armed guards in the base responded in unison, using their bodies to construct a defensive line and firing their guns.
“Trying to stop me?” A cold smile played at the corners of Kyle’s mouth and with a swift movement of his sword, the arms holding energy weapons in front of him were severed, and crimson blood splattered onto the polished floor.
But Kyle had no intention of slowing down. The remaining armed guards surged forward once again, forcing him to divert his attention to deal with the obstacles in his path.
These Hydra soldiers who had been thoroughly brainwashed truly lived up to their reputation. Despite knowing that it was a dead end, the armed guards continued to stand their ground as cannon fodder, shooting and intercepting Kyle and Steve’s pursuit of Red Skull.
“Shoo—”
Kyle quickly raised his right hand, deflecting another laser blast, and his left hand, holding the Carbonadium Sword, was stained with blood, which dripped on the ground incessantly.
He gazed indifferently at the end of the hallway on the second floor, where Red Skull’s figure was receding, about to disappear completely around the corner.
“Don’t even think about running!” Kyle clenched his teeth as he stepped on the chest of a guard in front of him before he leaped into the air, throwing his left hand in that direction.
“Whoosh!”
The Carbonadium Sword flew like a hidden weapon, tearing through the air with a sharp and piercing sound, heading straight for Red Skull’s back.
“Come here!” Seeing that the sword was about to strike, Red Skull, aware of the danger, grabbed a nearby guard and used him as a shield, positioning him in front of himself.
“Pshh—”
The guard’s body was as fragile as paper in front of the Carbonadium Sword as the sword easily pierced through the protective suit and chest, protruding from the back, splattering Red Skull’s body with warm blood.
“Hmph, Major Kyle, I will remember…” Red Skull coldly threw the guard’s corpse to the ground. He was about to taunt them with another sarcastic remark when he suddenly felt something unusual in his arm. He quickly glanced at the wound, which was just a superficial injury, and saw blood flowing out uncontrollably.
“It’s just a minor flesh wound. With my extraordinary physique, how could this happen?” Red Skull muttered to himself in disbelief. He cast a suspicious glance at the single-handed sword on the guard’s body, covered his injured arm with his other hand, and hastily disappeared from the corner of the corridor, not daring to linger around here.
“Did I almost let him escape again?” Kyle raised an eyebrow as he thought to himself. At that moment, deafening sounds of soldiers charging came from outside the base.
It was the massive siege launched by thousands of American soldiers led by Fury against the Hydra organization’s base!
“Clang!”
Outside the glass window on the second floor of the base, several agile American soldiers descended on steel ropes, joining the fierce battle with the armed guards in the hall. Their arrival greatly relieved the pressure on Kyle.
“Well done. Steve, you and the soldiers clear out the Hydra guards here. I’ll go after Red Skull!” Kyle quickly made his decision and swiftly moved through the brutal battlefield in the hall. At the corner, he retrieved his sword from a fallen body and accelerated towards the underground passage.
“Kyle!” Steve called out, forcefully knocking away the guard beside him with his shield before he followed Kyle with a determined look on his face.
In the dimly lit passages of the base, Red Skull was in the lead, followed by Kyle in the middle, and Steve at the rear. They couldn’t see each other but maintained a rapid pursuit.
“With the Venom Battlesuit augmentation, I not only have increased strength but also faster speed than the perfect Super Soldier,” Kyle thought to himself, confident that he could catch up to the injured Red Skull.
And he had another means of acceleration.
Following the small traces of blood on the ground, Kyle seemed to transform into a shadow in the dimly lit tunnel, his speed skyrocketing to another level!
[Stealth] Ability Card: Nightcrawler Mode, which increases movement speed!
“Show me how you can escape from me this time!” Kyle, like a bloodthirsty cheetah, raced forward at full speed, his body accompanied by the rushing wind pressure.
In a short span of time, Red Skull’s figure appeared in front of him, just ten meters away, in the slightly curved tunnel.
Within ten meters of approaching someone and with the limitation of the dim lighting, Kyle’s stealth mode was forced to deactivate, fully exposing his figure in the tunnel.
“Why is he so fast?!” At the same time, Red Skull also noticed Kyle chasing after him and experiencing a tingling sensation on his scalp for the first time in his life.
‘They were both Super Soldiers, so how could there be such a huge gap between them? Why is he the weak one here?’ Red Skull cursed as he continue to run away.
With a twisted expression of despair, Red Skull could only continue to flee, knowing he was the prey, but the distance between him and Kyle was steadily decreasing.
“Schmidt, why don’t we stop and have a drink, talk about life?” Kyle taunted with a sadistic sense of humor, slowly breaking down Red Skull’s psychological defenses.
Red Skull remained silent, wishing that he could have been born with an extra leg, as he used his full strength to flee for his life.
“If you won’t stop, then I’ll come to you.” Kyle’s words ignited another burst of speed from him as he disregarded the expenditure of his stamina. He dashed forward with his sword, aiming for Red Skull’s back.
Just five meters away from their final distance, a guard suddenly appeared from a side junction in the tunnel, blocking Red Skull’s path. He held a weapon with a massive flame nozzle, connected to a fuel tank on his back.
A flamethrower?
Kyle barely identified the guard’s weapon when he immediately drove his single-handed sword into the tunnel wall, stabilizing his body, and rolled backward.
The next moment, the flamethrower spewed a five-meter-long column of flames, almost sealing off the narrow tunnel, while the temperature in the air soared.
