【British and American】My miserable life studying abroad

Chapter 116: The Great Escape from France (4)

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Wei Shengling exhaled silently and held the gun with both hands. At such a long distance, it would of course be faster to use a gun.

After getting ready, she quickly emerged from behind the cover, locked her eyes on two of them, and with her arms steady, she fired two shots straight at the neck that was unprotected between the bulletproof vest and helmet.

The other party reacted quickly, hid behind a tree immediately and fired back several shots. Watson took the opportunity to pull the trigger. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a sharpshooter. With a "bang", one of them fell down.

They were currently in an area with sparse trees, which could barely be called a forest. The campsite where they had rested last night was the most open area in the forest, some distance away from the surrounding trees.

These trees were not that thick and could only barely cover a person's body, and they had to lie sideways to cover it. Sherlock's brain worked quickly, calculating the angle. After getting the result, he changed his position, raised his hand and shot directly into the ankle of one of them. When he fell to the ground, the bullet hit him right in the throat.

The atmosphere was very tense. No one spoke. Everyone was highly focused. Wei Shengling's breathing was light. Her mental power was sensing her surroundings. Behind a tree, someone took out an instrument and turned it on. Invisible sound waves, covered by her mental power, allowed her to see the direction clearly. The sound waves spread in circles.

It seems to be... a mutant suppressor?

She had an idea in her mind. Her tiny voice was covered by the sound of gunfire. She contacted other people with telepathy and planned to use herself as bait.

The isolation buff worked diligently to block the sound waves. When she had enough mental strength, the mutant suppressor was actually useless. This time she used the anti-suppressor to test the effect.

Wei Sheng Ling pulled the necklace around his neck and pressed the small black buckle-shaped thing to remove the isolation buff. Not bad, made by Tony, the quality is guaranteed.

Then, she fell to the ground, completely exposed to the sight of others. Just as she raised her head and was about to perform a move, she heard a violent explosion coming from the enemy side, followed by screams and wails.

Wei Sheng Ling:……?

what's the situation?

Watson was cautious and did not move. Sherlock seemed to have discovered something and walked towards the enemies openly. "No need to hide."

He just walked over, raised his hands and killed these people with "bang bang bang".

Sherlock's judgment was correct. Watson came out from his hiding place. Wei Shengling stood up with a puzzled expression, "What's going on? I haven't even started to show my skills yet."

"You should ask yourself, when Iron Man gave you the anti-inhibitor, didn't he tell you how it could be anti-inhibited?" Sherlock asked. Wei Shengling looked confused. "He only said that this should be the final version of the inhibitor, which is very useful. I don't have to be afraid of the mutant inhibitor in the future."

"It's the final version," Sherlock sneered. "Your anti-suppressor can emit corresponding sound waves when the switch is pressed. While counteracting the suppressor's sound waves, it can also destroy the source of the sound waves, which is the instrument itself."

He pointed to several people lying on the ground with wounds all over their bodies and said, "These people were injured by the exploding equipment."

"Can it be like this?" Wei Shengling remembered that she was about to start the performance and fell to the ground. She patted the dust off her clothes and felt a little regretful. "It's okay."

"Hydra has a deep foundation. Fighting them is a long-term task, especially here in France, which has been chosen as our burial place." Sherlock looked into the distance. "There will only be more and more people chasing us. It would be good to save some energy."

"We can't stay in this place anymore, we need to move to the next place." Watson went to pack up the sleeping bag and tent, Wei Shengling went to help, Sherlock stood there thinking seriously, in his memory palace, a person who looked exactly like him was looking for information everywhere.

Not this, nor this...

After packing up, Wei Shengling and Watson looked at Sherlock who seemed to be in a daze. They did not disturb him. Wei Shengling thought, "I don't know how long he will take to think. Why not take him away first?"

"How do I carry him? Should I carry him on my back?" Watson looked at Sherlock, and Wei Shengling smiled wickedly, "I can also carry him like a princess."

"Put away those weird ideas of yours," Sherlock came back to his senses quickly. He sneered at the two people's ideas. They were just trying to tease him. It was wishful thinking.

"What were you thinking about just now? Staring blankly in such a dangerous place." Watson patted Sherlock's shoulder.

"First, I'm considering the probability of us pretending to be caught and using this as a way to infiltrate the inner circle," Sherlock put his hands in his pockets and walked forward to lead the way. "Considering Suki's fighting ability, the probability is not high and it is easy to arouse Hydra's suspicion, so I ruled out this idea."

The force is too high. Wei Sheng Ling:? My fault...?

"and then?"

"Crossbones," Sherlock finally found Rumlow's information that was originally to be deleted from his brain, "We can start with him."

"Crossbones? You said before that he was an important member of Hydra!" Watson couldn't believe it.

"He is indeed an important member, but he is being excluded now," Sherlock said. "As for the reason, I haven't found it, but it can be inferred that he has offended some more important core members, or the leader, and then there are differences of opinion... If not, when we first arrived in France, he should have joined the hunting team instead of waiting for the Hydra base here to apply."

"He has been slowly squeezed out of the core staff." Sherlock sneered, "Some people are always stubborn and will not be questioned."

"Do you want to incite Crossbones to rebel?" Wei Sheng Ling followed his thoughts.

"The chance of him defecting is very small, but we can get some more important information," Sherlock said. "He could be a member of Hydra, or just a mercenary."

"Why don't we invite the Avengers to join us?" Watson had wanted to ask for a long time.

"After failing to alienate the Volturi and the Avengers, the remnants of Hydra in the United States also began to disrupt the situation," Sherlock explained. "Lynn Group, Osborn Group, and even Stark Industries...some large companies have Hydra undercovers."

Wei Shengling's eyes trembled slightly. Lin En Group...

"Don't let your imagination run wild. You underestimate your friend," Sherlock snorted. "The young master of the Osborne Group should have mentioned to you more than once what kind of person Lin En was when he met him."

Wei Sheng Ling sighed, "It has nothing to do with whether she is strong or not. I am worried about Claire because she is my friend, just like I am worried about the other Avengers now. When facing the Volturi, I will also worry about you and John - even though I know I left protection behind."

"..." Sherlock didn't say anything, he just took out his cell phone and started fiddling with it. Soon, he threw the phone to Wei Shengling, who took it and subconsciously took a look at it.

On the phone screen, Claire was seen planning and strategizing. She wore a pair of glasses and calmly arranged everyone. Everything was in order.

As if sensing something, Claire looked over with sharp eyes.

"what is this?"

"Internal monitoring of the Lin En Group."

"……what?"
