Chapter 607 Steve: Vibranium Shield, Kid
It was at this moment that Steve, having confirmed that Felicia and the snake had been exposed, decisively abandoned his original plan to launch a full-scale attack.
He gestured to the agents behind him, signaling everyone to move closer to the manhole cover at the alley entrance.
Since the ground routes have been blocked at every turn, let's launch a surprise attack from underground.
He bent down, and the heavy metal manhole cover was easily peeled off in front of him, a super soldier, as if it were a light foam product. The metal edge made a low thud as it rubbed against the ground.
Just as he was about to jump down, a very slight whooshing sound made him instinctively tilt the manhole cover to the right.
The next second, with a clanging sound of metal colliding, a uniquely shaped throwing knife was deeply embedded in the center of the manhole cover.
The tip of the blade pierced through the surface of the cast iron, and the blade was still trembling slightly.
When Steve put down the manhole cover, raised the shield back in front of him, and looked in the direction from which the flying knife had come,
A familiar figure, leading a large group of bandits armed with energy weapons, swaggered out of the shadows.
That was Kingpin's most loyal and top henchman.
Like Eagle Eye, Bullseye excels at precision shooting!
"Oh my, is this the famous Captain America? Why is he acting like a thief, always crawling into the sewers?"
Looking at the solemn-faced Steve, Bullseye waved his hand, ordering the outnumbered thugs to surround Steve and his men, cutting off their escape route. He continued throwing knives, his voice laced with a morbid excitement and madness, enunciating each word clearly.
"It's been a long time since I've encountered a target worthy of my serious aim. Let's take a gamble... on how many attacks your laughable shield can block, and how many people it can save!"
The moment he finished speaking, Bullseye swung both hands out at the same time.
Several flying knives came at Steve from different angles.
But Steve was a veteran who had fought his way through the hail of bullets in World War II. The shield, which should have been synonymous with "clumsy," swung with incredible force in his hands. In the blink of an eye, he deflected all the throwing knives!
As an ordinary human without any superpowers, Bullseye's ability to become Kingpin's top henchman shows he's got some skills.
The throwing knives that Steve deflected bounced off the surrounding walls and even other deflected knives several times before heading back towards Steve!
Some of them even bypassed Steve's defenses and went straight for the faces of the District 13 agents.
Thanks to the trials and tribulations they've endured, the agents of District 13 have transformed from "human robots" into "superhuman robots" with everyone capable of aiming down sights.
Almost the instant they sensed the impending danger, the agents who were in a standoff with the bandits took aim and fired, accurately knocking down the throwing knives.
Meanwhile, the energy beams fired by the bandits were intercepted by Steve, who completely trusted the District 13 agents and had no intention of defending against the incoming throwing knives. He threw his shield and blocked them all! With the help of the recoil, he simply raised his hand and, like Thor summoning his hammer, firmly grasped the shield back in his hand!
"Hehe... Hehehe, hehehaha! Yes, yes! That's it! That's more like Captain America!"
This precise grasp of geometric angles made Bullseye laugh out loud, as if he had met a kindred spirit.
Of course, despite the laughter, Bullseye's knife-throwing motion never stopped.
His darts seemed inexhaustible, instantly transforming him into a human Gatling gun, unleashing a storm of metal. With meticulously calculated launch angles, even if Steve blocked or dodged, the darts would bounce back several times before striking again, forcing Steve to regroup. While minimizing the team's chances of being hit, he was constantly forced to retreat by the bullseye.
However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that while Steve appears to be suppressed and powerless to fight back, he is actually using a strategy of retreat to advance, consciously guiding Bullseye's position, while Bullseye remains completely unaware of this.
He was immersed in the thrill of chasing his prey, fantasizing that he could defeat the legendary super soldier and become famous overnight.
In his eyes, Captain America was nothing more than a cornered beast, and it was only a matter of time before he killed him.
He enjoyed the feeling, the sense of control he felt every time he threw a knife, cornering his prey.
So much so that the aggressive and relentless Bullseye didn't even notice that his position had unknowingly moved to the left side of the alley entrance.
Steve had been waiting for this moment!
As he backed away, he deliberately stepped on a loose brick, causing his body to sway slightly.
This flaw isn't huge, but it's tempting enough for a marksman of Bullseye's caliber.
The next second, Bullseye took the bait!
He abandoned his long-range suppression, took two steps forward, and threw four throwing knives with both hands at the same time, wanting to finish off his prey at this opening.
Just as he took those two steps, Steve's body, which had been in a defensive stance, suddenly tensed up, like a bowstring stretched to its limit that suddenly snapped open.
The vibranium shield flew from his hand, carrying the terrifying explosive power granted by the super soldier serum, drawing a parabola in the air with a trajectory accurate to the millimeter.
At the same time, Steve immediately activated the shapeshifting ability of his nanosuit, clapping his fists together to create a huge tower shield with a red five-pointed star, completely obscuring himself and the District 13 agents behind him!
Steve's long-awaited counterattack, which he had been patiently waiting for, seemed far too childish to Bullseye, who was skilled at throwing.
Even if Steve wanted to do the same as him and use the shield's rebound to catch Bullseye off guard, his shooting angle was clearly wrong, full of amateurish ignorance.
He didn't even bother to move; with just a slight tilt of his head, he easily dodged Steve's shield throw by the narrowest of margins!
The vibranium shield grazed past his ear, severing a few strands of hair, before continuing its flight deeper into the alleyway, crashing into the wall behind him just as Bullseye had predicted.
Hearing the dull thud of the heavy object colliding, Bullseye, who could already foresee where the shield would fly, had a mocking smile already curving his lips.
However, before Bullseye could even open his mouth to mock Steve's "incompetence," the shield Steve had thrown bounced back at an angle completely defying the laws of physics! It headed straight for the back of Bullseye's head!
It's not that Bullseye miscalculated...
But Bullseye, despite his meticulous planning, overlooked one crucial detail...
Steve uses a vibranium shield with the amazing property of absorbing kinetic energy and then releasing it!
Not to mention, he himself is a shield-throwing expert, a master of wielding a shield with incredible skill! In terms of geometric physics, he's no less accomplished than Bullseye!
"Varied--!"
When Bullseye heard the noise behind him getting closer and closer, he subconsciously turned his head to take a look, and he was completely dumbfounded.
Even though his instinct was to run, his most prized professional skills were ruthlessly telling him that he had already missed his best chance to escape. He could only watch helplessly as the high-speed flying shield grew larger and larger in his eyes!
