Chapitre 314: Chapter: 314
In Seoul, the mechanical clones of Max which were in preparation for the final lift-off, have vanished without a trace at this moment.
Due to the prior martial law, the government departments and enforcement agencies in Seoul have all come to a standstill.
With the absence of the mechanical clone's threat, some of the citizens who intend to escape Seoul have been presented with an excellent opportunity.
However, most of these individuals are from the middle class and above, possessing substantial wealth. Even if they lose their fixed assets and stable jobs in the city, they can still sustain their lives elsewhere.
As for the impoverished residents and the general working class who had a harder life in the city, they still choose to stay in their original residences, unwilling to leave easily.
Consequently, Captain and Quicksilver can only follow the instructions of Baymax and J.A.R.V.I.S., rushing around the city, persuading the remaining populace that are yet to evacuate.
"Seoul is facing a severe attack. Please maintain order and evacuate immediately!"
The name of the Avengers is still very influential. After receiving the evacuation alert, most of the populace gritted their teeth and took their families, and began to flee outside Seoul for their personal safety despite some difficulties.
If there are some stubborn individuals unwilling to heed the warning from the Avengers, then it's time for the Scarlet Witch to make her appearance.
Using her mind-controlling abilities, she alters the thoughts of those unwilling to leave, allowing the evacuation efforts to proceed smoothly.
With the coordination of these three individuals, the task of emptying the entire Seoul progressed very smoothly. According to Baymax's monitoring, there are no signs of human activity left within the city's buildings.
At this point, the remaining population of the city has flooded onto the streets, with vehicles and pedestrians forming long lines as they slowly move towards the outskirts of Seoul.
"Tony, Thor, we have already evacuated all citizens from the buildings on our end, but it will take some more time to completely clear the citizens from the battlefield area. You must stall Max on your end, don't let it activate the thrusters!
Hawkeye, Mark, how is your mission going? Have you safely rescued Natasha?"
...
"Captain, based on the location traced by Baymax, Mark and I have found the underground cave where Max has imprisoned Natasha.
Currently, a large number of mechanical clones have gathered here, guarding the entrance. It seems that apart from detaining hostages, this place is also a crucial site for Max's plan. We are planning how to infiltrate it."
Outside the underground cave, Hawkeye and Mark are using a building as cover, observing the situation and relaying information to Captain and other members.
"What are you planning? Just rush in headlong and take out all the enemies, rescue Natasha, and destroy all the thrusters. Why bother overthinking it? Over here, the two of us can't withstand the enemy's continuous attacks—"
Before Captain could strategize and give orders, Tony couldn't hold back from speaking up. Currently, most of the entire mechanical clone army had concentrated around Max in the center of Seoul.
The underground cave only had one entrance and exit, making it easy to defend but hard to attack. So, even though Max had stationed a significant number of forces here, the quantity was still noticeably fewer compared to the forces in the city center.
As the heart and pivot of the entire lift-off plan, the city center stood on a spacious square surrounded by open space.
But achieving comprehensive defense here required relying on a tactic of overwhelming numbers, thus Max placed a greater emphasis on the city center's position when allocating its mechanical clones.
This led to Tony and Thor, responsible for containing Max, getting embroiled in a fierce battle. Due to the excellent conductivity of the mechanical clone army's metallic bodies, Thor required a much larger amount of magic energy than usual when using lightning attacks.
On Tony's end, his weapon ammunition was already very limited. In order to cope with the upcoming battles, he had to continuously use energy attacks, causing significant energy consumption for his Arc Reactor.
However, upon hearing Tony's plea for assistance, Mark didn't feel worried at all; he burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, serve you right for not wanting to wear my Vibranium Nano-Armor. Now you're in big trouble!"
Mark wasn't entirely wrong in saying this. If Tony and Thor had equipped Mark's Vibranium Nano-Armor before their operation, their situation would have been vastly different.
The Vibranium Nano-Armor could absorb and store the energy transmitted by enemy attacks and release it without any loss.
With this feature, Thor could fearlessly close in on the enemy and engage in energy-efficient close combat. In close combat, Max's mechanical army wouldn't stand a chance against Thor's might.
Tony could also use the enemy's energy attacks to his advantage, deflecting them back as counterattacks and thus conserving his own energy output.
However, there's no undoing the past. Tony and Thor could only tough it out for now and await their companions' support once they completed their mission.
"You little brat, you're making jokes at a time like this. If you don't hurry over here, Seoul is really going to spiral into the sky!"
Hearing Mark not only not caring about their situation but also mocking and taunting them, Tony responded irritably.
"Tony, I think we'll be able to come over and support you soon, but you guys must hold on—" Before Tony could finish his sentence, Hawkeye responded to his call for reinforcements with a serious tone.
"You're the reliable one, Hawkeye. Wait a minute—why do I feel like your tone is a bit off?" Tony asked in confusion.
"Perhaps your and Thor's performances were too impressive. Right now, a significant portion of the forces that were originally guarding the underground cave are beginning to shift towards the city center in your direction.
The pressure you'll face next will be even greater than what you're experiencing now. But don't worry, we'll complete the mission as quickly as possible and rush to support you with Natasha." Hawkeye truthfully informed Tony.
"I can't believe..." Before Tony could finish cursing, Hawkeye and Mark directly cut off the communication.
"If Captain hears this, he'll surely want to give us a lecture again. Let's go, Hawkeye, don't keep Natasha waiting for too long!"
"I've been itching for action. With the Vibranium Nano-Armor, I can truly unleash my firepower without reservation." Hawkeye said, pulling out an anti-matter annihilation arrow from his quiver behind him and fitting it onto the string of his Compound Bow. He then aimed accurately at the entrance of the underground cave.
Boom!
With a tremendous explosion and the shockwave it created, a massive hole appeared before Hawkeye and Mark, revealing a dim and extensive underground space, along with its intricate network of underground passageways...
