Chapter 129: Recognition
Balvino held a rifle and poured fire at the target frantically. With his strong arm strength, even with the full-automatic mode turned on, the bullets were still very accurate.
However, all the bullets were blocked by the shield.
"Shoot! Keep shooting!"
Balvino changed a magazine and continued to aim at Bob Eagle and pull the trigger. They did not transform immediately, but waited for the lizard man to rush forward in the rain of bullets to give him a big surprise.
Whether it was Steve, Hawkeye or Black Widow, they were all experienced fighters and responded at the first time. While looking for cover, they used their weapons to shoot at Balvino and others.
For a while, the rain of bullets in the sewer tilted against each other, splashing the ground and the wall.
Steve held a shield in one hand and a rifle in the other, advancing and shooting. He suppressed four people by himself.
"Boom!"
The arrow shot by Hawkeye exploded in the air, releasing a dazzling light, instantly blinding.
Black Widow was like a nimble civet cat, moving skillfully in the rain of bullets. She wanted to take the opportunity to close the distance and eliminate Balvino and his men through hand-to-hand combat.
She grabbed with both hands and threw out two electric darts.
Balvino's heart skipped a beat. He found that the enemy opposite was definitely not an ordinary person. His combat literacy was terrifyingly high, and his cooperation with each other was even more perfect. Although they took the lead in launching a sneak attack, they fell into a disadvantage in an instant and were suppressed and could not raise their heads.
Facing the flying electric darts, he directly swung the sheathed scimitar hanging on his waist and knocked it away.
"Roar!"
Bob Eagle roared. Facing the rain of bullets, he leaped a few times and pounced in front of Balvino and his men. He was thinking about tearing them into pieces, but his body suddenly froze.
His half-lizard face showed human doubts.
"Cade?"
"Huh?"
Cade Eagle looked at the lizard man in front of him and was shocked to find that he looked 50% like himself.
"Cease fire! Cease fire!"
Bob Eagle raised his hand, and the scales on his body quickly faded away, returning to human form. Now the two seemed like twins, 90% similar. But Bob was more sturdy and strong.
"Bob! You, how did you become a lizard man?"
CNN's live broadcast was too blurry and did not clearly capture Bob Eagle's face, so Cade only knew now that the mutant on TV was actually his cousin.
"What's going on?"
Steve put away his shield.
"He is Tessa Eagle's father and my cousin. He runs a farm in Texas."
Bob explained.
"What about these three Mexicans? They don't look like cowboys on the farm."
Black Widow looked at Balvino and the other two. She could tell at a glance that the three of them were Mexicans, and judging from their marksmanship and tattoos, they were most likely assassins from the Mexican drug cartel.
When she was on a mission in Mexico, she had dealt with this kind of people a lot.
"They are the bodyguards I paid to hire from Mexico to save my daughter."
Cade almost blinked and came up with a suitable reason.
Black Widow looked at Balvino with some suspicion. The way he knocked away the electric dart just now was not like that of an ordinary assassin. Such a clean and neat skill would be difficult even for a SHIELD agent.
"You are too reckless, Cade. Winston is not someone you can deal with with three assassins."
Bob patted his cousin's shoulder comfortingly. He didn't expect that Cade, who was soft-tempered, could do this for his daughter.
"Captain, let them go with us."
In his eyes, Cade was walking around in this dangerous sewer, and it was very likely that he would lose his life before long.
Steve hesitated for a moment and nodded. Cade Yeager's sincere fatherly love touched him. He really couldn't bear to see this great father who lost his family fortune and was willing to sacrifice his life to save his daughter inexplicably lose his life.
Moreover, the three Mexicans had good shooting skills, even better than those well-trained agents of SHIELD, and they were a strong reinforcement. The situation in the sewer was far more complicated than they expected. This group of orcs who appeared inexplicably made the situation out of control.
"No, our goals are different."
Cade hurriedly refused.
"Your target should be Colonel Johnson. I just want to rescue my daughter. Now Colonel Johnson has been entangled. It's the best time for me to rescue Tessa."
Black Widow raised the tablet in her hand.
"Your daughter is temporarily safe now."
The drone took a picture of the temporary laboratory built by the lizard man. A lizard man fell to the ground and struggled in pain. The scales on his body were disappearing rapidly, and his giant body began to shrink, and finally returned to the size of an ordinary person.
The lizard gene in his body was being destroyed by the antidote. In just a few tens of seconds, he degenerated into an ordinary person, with only lizard scales on his face.
Tessa picked up the assault rifle that the lizard man had dropped on the ground, and pulled the trigger at the unconscious lizard man, turning him into a blood gourd.
"A wise choice."
Hawkeye raised his eyebrows. As a former member of the Navy SEALs, the lizard man was definitely not something these two high school girls could resist. If they didn't strike first when he was unconscious, they would kill themselves.
"Now our goals are the same. If we don't get rid of Colonel Johnson, your daughter will still be in great danger, especially if she has created the antidote for the lizard serum. Colonel Johnson will never let her go."
The existence of the antidote almost eliminated the possibility that Colonel Johnson wanted to use lizard people to replace humans. If mutants also had similar antidotes, then mutants would have disappeared from the earth long ago.
Black Widow stared at Cade with suspicion, observing his micro-expressions. She had a feeling that there was a big secret in these four people.
She knew the killers of the Mexican mafia very well. How could these killers suddenly have such professional ethics? With their ethics, Cade Yeager should have been killed long ago.
"Since we already have the antidote for the serum, why don't we use it to directly turn Colonel Johnson back to human?"
Steve suddenly had an idea.
Peter Parker, who had been listening silently, shook his head.
"The antidote will only work on lizardmen who have been injected with the serum recently. Moreover, Colonel Johnson has eaten so many of his kind that the lizard genes have already been completely integrated into his body. The antidote will not have any effect."
