I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

He rushed forward, grabbed his submachine gun, and unleashed a burst of fire!

The other squad members who followed also found their positions, took out their weapons, and started firing.

However, the exoskeletons worn by the dozen or so invaders on the other side were clearly not ordinary; bullets hitting them only produced a series of crisp clanging sounds.

They weren't hurt in the slightest!

"Kill them!"

One of the men, clad in armor with two white crossed bone patterns printed on his chest, gave a command, and all the intruders rushed towards the Thunder Squad members!

Just then, Walker and his team ran out of bullets, so they threw away their weapons and used their superior physical abilities to fight the intruders hand-to-hand!

Six against more than a dozen! Flesh against steel!

In an instant, the equipment in the laboratory was smashed to pieces.

The scene was completely chaotic!

boom! !

The intruder leader raised his arm, and a loudspeaker emanated from the exoskeleton attached to it. Then, he slammed a hammer down on John Walker's chest!

The immense force sent him flying, his body crashing through a wall and rolling into another room.

"How can it be?!"

Walker, who had just climbed out of the rubble, looked at the intruder in disbelief, realizing he had underestimated his opponent.

Their armor was clearly no ordinary item; the power unleashed by their mechanical linkages was in no way weaker than that of these super soldiers!

Because they were outnumbered, his five teammates were being brutally beaten on the ground.

Even two fists can't beat four hands, let alone six against more than a dozen!

Just when defeat seemed imminent

Another tall figure rushed out of the door!

Hill leaped more than three meters into the air! Like a shooting star, he hurtled towards the intruder.

boom! ! !

With a single punch, the intruder who had just defeated Walker was knocked to the ground, his exoskeleton armor shattering into pieces...

Walker stared blankly at Hill, utterly shocked.

How could he have imagined that this woman, whom he thought only knew how to give orders because of her high rank, actually possessed such great power!

Chapter 228 Crossbones

John Walker then rejoined the battle, joining forces with Hill to fight the remaining invaders!

With her help, the Thunder special forces, who had been being overwhelmed, were spared.

Finally, through everyone's combined efforts, all the invaders were defeated, their armor smashed to pieces by Hill, leaving them powerless to resist.

They were then subdued by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who arrived at the scene, and were shackled and forced to kneel in a row on the ground.

"Huh...huh..."

Walker, panting heavily, wiped the sweat from his face and turned to look at Hill. He noticed that despite the several battles they had just fought, she hadn't sweated much, and her breathing was very steady.

This shows that her physical abilities far exceed those of herself after being injected with the super serum.

Walker also abandoned his dismissive attitude and asked, "Just who are these people?"

Hill didn't speak, but frowned and walked towards the man whose armor she had shattered with a single punch.

He was kneeling on the ground, his hands cuffed behind his back, his head drooping, motionless.

After stopping in front of the man, Hill ripped off his mask.

Beneath the mask, however, was a familiar face.

"Rumlow!?"

"You're still alive?"

Hill was shocked.

Brock, Rumlow

He was once a Level 7 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., but his identity as a Hydra agent was exposed during the 'Operation Insight' six months ago.

He was one of the men who led the attack on S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters when the Winter Soldier attacked it.

However, due to Rayleigh's intervention, the 'Penetration Plan' was aborted before it even began, and all the Hydra members who had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. were wiped out.

Even the Winter Soldier was arrested and is still being held in a special prison.

Hill never expected this.

You'll see this guy who betrayed the organization's trust again here.

The thought that many of his colleagues, including Natasha and himself, had almost died at his hands...

Hill was furious.

'Boom! '

She punched Rumlow hard in the face!

"puff!"

Rumlow tilted his head to the side and spat out several bloody molars.

Hill held back with that punch; otherwise, his head would have been smashed open like a watermelon.

After calming himself down, Hill got down to business and angrily said to him:

"Who sent you?!"

Rumlow tossed his head back, his face ripped and badly injured, yet he still looked at Hill with an indifferent expression.

He said in a teasing tone:

“Oh… Hill…”

"It's been half a year, and you seem different from before."

As he spoke, he scrutinized Hill's long legs and a certain area above them with his eyes, a lewd smile on his face:

"Even hotter now..."

"Snapped!"

Another slap landed on his face, but this time it wasn't Hill who did it, but John Walker who was standing nearby.

As a former soldier, his interrogation methods were much more brutal.

With his left hand gripping Rumlow's hair, he clenched his right fist and stabbed him hard in the ribs...

"what!!"

Rumlow, who had remained silent after being slapped by Hill, now screamed in pain.

Walker glanced back at Hill with a slightly smug look, but seeing the other's expressionless face, he thought to himself, "How boring."

So he increased the pressure on his hands, drilling hard into Rumlow's ribs.

This is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body; even a professionally trained agent would not be able to withstand a severe blow here.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Suddenly, a pig-like scream erupted from the room!

"explain!

Who sent you?! What is your purpose?!

John Walker roared at Rumlow menacingly, only to be met with a disdainful look in his eyes.

It was as if they looked down on him.

This action enraged him, and he became even more ruthless, without changing his position, causing Rumlow excruciating pain!

But he still refused to say anything, his mouth was as hard as iron.

Hill simply stood aside with his arms crossed, watching coldly, showing no intention of stopping them.

At that moment, a logistics agent walked up to her and whispered:

"They planted a virus on the computer server in the lab, which destroyed all the data..."

Our people are trying to fix it, but the virus they're using is very powerful, so I don't think there's much hope.

Hill's expression changed slightly, and he questioned the agent:

Does it include research data on heart-shaped herbal remedies?

"Yes."

"I see,"
