Chapter 198 Smile

boom--

With a violent explosion, the armored tank vehicle was blown to pieces.

Holding his brand new vibranium shield in his hand, Steve couldn't help but smile on his face when he saw this scene.

"Judging from our current progress, it won't take long to destroy John Schmidt's base here." Relying on the body strengthened by the super soldier serum, Steve led the people he gathered The team members have been making great progress along the way and have successively destroyed several secret bases of Hydra.

"Perhaps, after we deal with this base, we need to make some short repairs."

Bucky looked at the tired faces around him and couldn't help but say.

"After all, not everyone is like you and has extraordinary physical fitness."

Dio looked at Steve, who was still showing no signs of fatigue, and said in a lukewarm tone.

At Captain America's invitation, Dio reluctantly joined his team.

Turning his head and glancing at the tired-looking team members beside him, Steve nodded: "Okay, let's make repairs after we finish solving this goal."

Hearing Steve's words, the team members who were still nervous suddenly showed expressions of relief.

"God, I can finally get a good night's sleep."

"I haven't had a break for days."

"I'm going to have a big drink."

"Hey, you forgot that we are trying out a secret mission...well, don't forget to call me then."

Hearing the team members chatting with each other, Steve noticed Dio's expressionless face and asked, "What, Dio, aren't you happy?"

Glancing at the people talking and laughing with indifferent eyes, Dio turned to look at Steve in front of him: "You know, Steve, the reason why I agreed to join your team is because I want to know who I am. How big is the gap between me and you?" As he spoke, Dio turned his eyes to his hands and continued in a neither sad nor happy tone: "However, the more actions I participate in, the more I can feel I realize the gap between me as an ordinary person and you, the gap is so huge that it’s disappointing.”

"..."

Dio's words made Steve a little silent, but he didn't know how to speak.

Dr. Abraham Erskine is dead, and even the last super soldier serum has been destroyed. Therefore, even if Dio wants to conduct a super soldier experiment, there is no possibility.

…

"Another failure! Another failure!"

Standing on the ruins of the Hydra base, John Schmidt's bright red skull face showed an extremely ferocious expression: "We have the power of the Cosmic Cube, and we have created weapons that no army can compete with, but we cannot Take out a dumbass with a shield and his squad.”

"It's not all my fault!"

Faced with John Schmidt's questioning, Dr. Zola stammered and explained: "Fighting is not my specialty. I am only responsible for inventing weapons, and I don't know how to use them."

"It seems that I need to remind you, Dr. Zola." John Schmidt turned his blood-red face, looked at Dr. Zola in front of him, and threatened in a sharp voice: "If you lose my protection, , the Yankees will definitely tear it into pieces at the first opportunity, so don’t challenge my patience..."

"Sir John Schmidt," at this moment, an embarrassed figure came to the ruins, detained by several masked reformed soldiers: "Captain America is too strong, our entire army has been wiped out."

"No, obviously not yet." John Schmidt said with a cold expression as he took out an energy gun from his clothes and pointed it at the survivors.

The next moment, a faint blue light flashed, and the survivors who were standing in front of them were reduced to ashes.

John Schmidt turned his head and looked at the ruins in front of him: "We need to take the initiative. We cannot have Captain America continue to destroy like this."

…

“It should be right here.

"

Raising his hand to catch the flying shield, Steve looked sideways at the base in the distance and reminded the team members beside him: "Everyone, be careful."

"Do not worry."

Holding the submachine gun and glancing in the direction Steve was pointing, Bucky nodded and replied.

"We know what to do."

After this period of cooperation, the members of the team have already figured out a suitable combat mode. With Steve holding a vibranium shield in front, they conduct fire attacks on his left and right.

Hearing Bucky's answer, Steve couldn't help but smile, but he quickly restrained himself and cautiously approached the location of the Hydra base with his shield. Steve then raised his hand to signal to the members behind him, and used his fingers to count down. Then he jumped suddenly and came to the patrolling base soldiers. He waved his shield and knocked them away.

"shot!"

Following Steve's actions, the team that stayed behind quickly opened fire and began fire support.

After getting rid of the soldiers outside the base with ease, Steve took the brunt and ran into the base immediately. However, the large number of Hydra soldiers standing inside the base ready to go made Steve's expression subconsciously change. He quickly used The shield stood in front, protecting the team members standing behind him: "Be careful, it's a trap!"

"You're finally here, Captain America."

A sharp voice came from among the Hydra soldiers, and then they took steps. John Schmidt walked out with his bright red face and looked at Steve and others in front of him. , grinning with a very charming smile: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Johann Schmidt!"

Looking at the familiar face appearing in the base, Steve couldn't help but blurt out.

"I have to admit, Captain America, I underestimated you. What you did caused me great trouble and even seriously slowed down my plans. So in order to make my next If the plan can proceed smoothly, I have to take action to solve your troubles."

As John Schmidt's words fell, the Hydra soldiers standing behind him raised their weapons and turned to Steve and others in front of them.

boom--

The next second, a large amount of blue light shot out from the opposite side, forming a blue light curtain in mid-air.

"careful!"

Facing this screen of light, Steve did not hesitate to raise the shield in his hand to block the front. While blocking the light, he shouted to the team members behind him: "Quickly, get out of here and tell the people outside. , this is a trap."

"We can't just leave you here, Steve!"

Facing Steve's order, Bucky refused without thinking. He raised his gun and fired at the Hydra soldier on the opposite side. He turned and looked at each other with the team members beside him: "We will I will keep fighting with you!"

"That's right."

"certainly."

The team members behind him also responded in the affirmative.

Faced with everyone's persistence, Steve couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion in his heart. However, he gritted his teeth and resisted the laser beam, but he didn't notice that one of the members of the team behind him had disappeared. Traces.

…

Dio stood calmly on the second floor, looking down at the situation below.

Looking across the figure of "Johann Schmidt", a strange smile appeared on Dio's face.

In fact, from the moment he entered the base, he had already put on [Dio Brando] and transformed into a real vampire.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to discover the weirdness of the John Schmidt underneath. Although he looked exactly the same as the Red Skull they had seen before, in fact, he could clearly detect it from the vampire's senses. , the "Johann Schmidt" in front of him is actually the white-bearded old man who he transformed into a vampire in the church of Tonsberg Town.

Not only did he not die in the explosion of the base, but I don't know what kind of method Hydra used to not only control him, but also turned him into the appearance of the Red Skull and appeared in the base.

Here, Dio was thinking. Below, Steve used his shield to block the ray attack, then turned over and rushed in front of "John Schmidt".

Behind him, Bucky and others hid behind a temporary cover, firing continuously to spread the firepower for Steve in front.

"Johann Schmidt!"

He raised the shield in his hand high and slammed it down on "Johann Schmidt" in front of him. The shield hit "Johann Schmidt" and made him fly backwards like a cannonball, overwhelming the blockbuster. of soldiers.

However, obviously, Steve's attack is not fatal to "Johann Schmidt" or should I say vampire. Standing up, looking at Steve holding the shield in front of him, he opened his mouth and let out a roar. In the next moment, he had rushed in front of Steve, waving his arms and grabbing him fiercely. Go down.

Theoretically speaking, vampires obviously have many advantages over "Johann Schmidt" in terms of combat.

It's a pity that the opponent it is facing now is Steve, who has gradually adapted to the power of his serum after many battles, and at this moment the opponent is holding a vibranium shield that can offset the impact force, so even if the vampire's attack is fierce, , and Steve couldn't resist it at all.

However, although he blocked these attacks perfectly, Steve still had a puzzled expression on his face under the shield.

There seemed to be a certain degree of difference between the "John Schmidt" in front of him and what he had encountered before.

Although there were some doubts in his heart, the situation in front of him did not give Steve much time to think. Using his arm strength, Steve used his shield to lean forward to block all the attacks of "John Schmidt", and then squatted The side kick hit the vampire's left leg.

Click——

With an obvious breaking sound, the vampire's left leg was kicked to a sixty-degree angle under Steve's powerful and heavy attack.

A roar came out of his mouth, but "John Schmidt" did not fall down screaming as Steve expected. A green light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately started using his hands and feet to change targets. He jumped and ran towards Bucky and others who were hiding behind to provide fire support.

"What?!"

Seeing this scene, Steve was shocked and turned around quickly to run behind him.

However, it was obvious that the Hydra soldiers could not let him go easily.

The next moment, a large amount of light was aimed at Steve's position, forcing him to raise his shield for defense.

Bang bang bang bang——

Raising the firearms in their hands, Bucky and others kept shooting at the charging "John Schmidt" in an attempt to block the opponent's attack.

However, in the face of the bullets pouring in, "John Schmidt" did not dodge and allowed the bullets to hit his body.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that bullets were of no use to "John Schmidt", Bucky couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The performance of "Johann Schmidt" reminded him of the Death Legion he had encountered before, but it was obvious that the power displayed by "Johann Schmidt" was more terrifying than those soldiers of the Death Legion.

Bang——

Seeing that "John Schmidt"'s attack was about to fall on Bucky and the others, the attack power it showed would be a massacre for the members of the team.

Just at this moment, with a dull sound of falling, a figure wearing a Hydra uniform hit the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.

At this moment, "Johann Schmidt" stopped his actions.

really.

Seeing this scene, Dio, who was standing in the shadows on the second floor, had such an expression on his face.

He had been thinking about how Hydra used to control vampires, so he searched in the base and found a strange figure in a secret place on the second floor. He solved the opponent and successfully solved the problem. gain their control over vampires.

Of course, Dio didn't do this to save Bucky and the others, it was just to...

Below, with a thought from Dio, the vampire that had stopped moving pounced again, rushing directly in front of a team member.

"puff!"

The vampire's sharp fingers penetrated Jim's chest like a sharp blade, and a large amount of blood dyed his arm bright red in the next second.

"Jim!" Steve yelled miserably, throwing out the shield in his hand and knocking down all the Hydra soldiers on the opposite side.

"Ah~~~~~"

With angry shouts coming from their mouths, the members of the team turned their fire on "Johann Schmidt", and the bullets poured out, beating it into a honeycomb in the blink of an eye.

Jim looked up at the roof of the base. The look in his eyes gradually disappeared, but he suddenly noticed a figure on the second floor. He couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Dior, Dior, Dior..."

He saw Dio standing on the second floor, holding a pale mask in his hand, and a smile he had never seen before on his cold face.

Just like the evil ghost in the game.
