From Iron Man's thermal vision, two FT fighter jets slowly landed outside the wreckage of the plane. The cabin doors opened, and a group of heavily armed, burly men quickly rushed out.
They formed tactical formations, positioned on both sides of the jet, each holding a gleaming firearm.
And these weren't ordinary handguns; most were high-powered weapons like automatic and semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns.
Iron Man couldn't help but frown slightly. Fighter jets and this kind of equipment—this group of people was definitely not just ordinary armed militants.
They must have a significant background.
However, all these men wore balaclavas, making them look like low-level bank robbers. It would be impossible for Jarvis to scan their faces for identification and analysis.
"You two keep an eye on Captain America!"
Iron Man casually instructed Nick Fury and Black Widow, preparing to fly out and confront the armed militants.
But Nick Fury grabbed him, the bald agent asking gravely, "Stark, what's the situation out there? How many of them are there?"
"Twenty-five fully armed soldiers, twenty-five submachine guns. The situation isn't too bad," Iron Man shrugged.
Nick Fury and Black Widow's expressions instantly became extremely grim. This situation was as bad as it could possibly get.
Could the three of them, plus Iron Man, really deal with such a formidable armed force?
"And one more… the Metal Arm Man!"
Iron Man suddenly added, as he saw someone else emerge from the jet.
That person wore a black mask, like a gas mask, but unlike the others, his entire face wasn't covered.
His eyes were visible.
He had extremely stylish, shoulder-length hair that seemed out of place for a special forces operative. More importantly, his entire left arm was made of metal!
That wasn't some kind of prosthetic; it was a real arm!
Undoubtedly, the "Metal Arm Man" Iron Man referred to was the Winter Soldier.
After emerging from the jet, the Winter Soldier casually made a tactical hand gesture, and the special forces operatives immediately began to move in an orderly fashion.
One by one, they aimed their submachine guns, forming a pincer movement, and rapidly approached the jet wreckage where Iron Man and the others were located.
"Metal Arm Man?"
Nick Fury and Black Widow paused slightly, about to ask Iron Man who the Metal Arm Man was, but Iron Man didn't waste any more words.
He swiftly flew out of the hole he had cut in the jet wreckage.
Tat-tat-tat-tat!
An incredibly dense volley of gunfire immediately erupted, and in an instant, countless bullets rained down on Iron Man from all directions.
Clang, clang, bang, bang.
A metallic clatter, like a shower of raindrops, immediately sounded, and countless sparks flew.
If it hadn't been Iron Man, anyone else would have been instantly riddled with holes.
Whoosh!
Amidst the hail of bullets, Iron Man decisively and rapidly flew towards the crowd, retaliating immediately.
A row of muzzles appeared on his Iron Man suit's shoulders, simultaneously firing several bullets.
Since it was AI-aimed shooting, the accuracy was naturally extraordinary. Six armed militants were instantly headshotted and fell to the ground.
They were dead beyond dead.
"Screech… Bang!"
"Screech… Bang!"
Following this, Iron Man fired several more repulsor blasts from his palms, and several other armed militants were similarly blasted away.
The Iron Man suit was indeed devastating when dealing with ordinary armed forces,
an almost invincible presence.
The Winter Soldier stood at the very back of the crowd, watching everything with cold eyes, his face devoid of any expression. He simply gestured to someone beside him.
The person immediately handed a grenade launcher to the Winter Soldier, who took it and pulled the trigger, aiming at Iron Man.
Bang!
Clang!
A grenade hit Iron Man directly, blasting him away.
At this point, the Winter Soldier threw the grenade launcher to the ground and began to rapidly advance towards Iron Man, step by step.
After being knocked down, Iron Man quickly got back up. Without a word, he raised his right hand, aimed his repulsor at the Winter Soldier, and fired.
However, the Winter Soldier's reaction speed and agility far surpassed that of an ordinary person. Like a rabbit, he suddenly dodged the moment the repulsor blast came.
He managed to perfectly evade it.
"Are you kidding me?"
Iron Man was stunned. Could someone actually do something like that?
It had to be a joke, right?
Iron Man then raised both hands, aiming his palms at the Winter Soldier, and continuously fired repulsor blasts at him.
However, the Winter Soldier was incredibly fast, almost inhuman. He managed to dodge all of Iron Man's repulsor blasts. Not only that, but he rapidly advanced, closing the distance and arriving in front of Iron Man.
"Okay!"
This distance wasn't suitable for repulsor blasts, so Iron Man simply swung his fist, striking hard at the Winter Soldier.
But who would have thought that the Winter Soldier would reach out and, with his metal arm, grab the Iron Man suit's arm!
He completely blocked the Iron Man suit!
Inside the suit, Iron Man's eyes widened. He used all his strength to try and land that punch on the Winter Soldier's face, but his fist couldn't move an inch.
Not only that, but a creaking sound came from the part of his Iron Man suit that was grabbed, and the metal there had already begun to dent and deform.
Iron Man was astonished. He immediately raised his other hand, and a miniature missile popped out from the suit's arm, aimed at the Winter Soldier, ready to fire.
But the Winter Soldier forcefully pressed down on Iron Man's other hand with his free hand and pushed it aside.
Whoosh!
The missile was launched, but its aim was off by a hundred and eighty degrees, directly hitting an empty spot.
Clang!
At this moment, the Winter Soldier sharply retracted his metal arm and punched Iron Man in the head, knocking him to the ground.
Iron Man was questioning his whole existence.
After admitting he was Iron Man, he had become somewhat arrogant, believing that no one in the world could harm him, and no weapon could defeat him.
But now, a single person, with just flesh and blood, had taken him down!
Iron Man would never have believed this without experiencing it firsthand.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Intense gunfire erupted again, as a person in a Black Panther suit emerged from the jet wreckage.
Judging by her physique and agility, it was Black Widow.
Black Widow, holding a Colt with infinite bullets, mercilessly pulled the trigger on the Winter Soldier.
