17. Rescue operations

"Swoosh"

At midnight, a small jet plane quickly crossed the sky, like a hunter in the night.

In the cabin, six agents are conducting final preparations before the battle.

"Click"

Fury pulled out his pistol magazine, took a look, and then closed it again.

Beside him, Gatler fiddled with a carbine loaded with a grenade launcher. At the feet of this old cowboy-like agent, there were communicators, night vision goggles and other fragments.

Agent Patton was the most leisurely. He sat in his seat, counting the arrows in his quiver. It seemed that he still did not plan to use a hot weapon this time.

However, Merlin noticed that Patton had a knife in his hand, which looked like the kind of samurai sword used by the spirit butterfly.

He fiddled with tactical gloves himself, and two silencer pistols hung around his waist. Since he was responsible for rescuing the hostages, he did not carry too many hot weapons, and replaced them with two short swords for assassination. In his boots, there was also the black fighting knife he had obtained from the Winter Soldier.

"I said, have you become a member of us so soon?"

Merlin, who had packed up her equipment, chewing gum and sat on the chair. He looked at the black widow who was resting with her eyes closed beside her, and he asked softly.

The super female agent closed her eyes, as if she was napping.

She was wearing a black combat uniform, and there were basically no other weapons on her body except for two pistols. However, Natasha had two black belts on her wrists that looked like wrist guards.

Merlin knew that this thing was also a weapon. At that time, Agent Patton was knocked down by the strong current burst out from the bracelet.

I heard from Fury that this thing is called "Widow Tear", a special weapon specially made for Black Widow by the former Soviet Union's secret service. Strong discharge is just one of its many functions.

Hearing Merlin's inquiry, Natasha opened her eyes. She was a little embarrassed and pushed away her burgundy hair, pointed at her neck, and said to Merlin:

"Did you see it?"

"Um."

Merlin nodded, and he saw that there was something similar to a small tattoo on Natasha's neck, and it looked like a scar left after being bitten by a mosquito.

But it certainly won't be that simple.

"This is a more advanced mini bomb. If I don't obey, or try to escape."

Natasha looked at Merlin, spread her hands open, and made an explosive gesture expressionlessly:

"Bang"

"Uh, OK."

Merlin was silent for a moment and he whispered:

"This is also a forced one. Natasha, trusting each other takes time."

"Yo"

Black Widow raised her eyebrows, she looked at Meilin, leaning on Meilin's shoulder a little ambiguously, she said:

"Little Meilin, are you comforting me? You are still as caring as ever."

"No, I'm just talking about the matter."

Merlin stretched out her wrist and looked at the time. It was late at night. According to the planned time, in another 15 minutes, they would arrive at the battlefield. He said to Natasha:

"We have worked so hard to bring you back from Europe, definitely not to blow up your head."

"I know better than you what you want me to do, Little Merlin, I don't actually resist doing that."

Natasha leaned on Merlin's shoulder and said calmly:

"It's just a change of boss, and the work content is almost exactly the same. But now it seems that the format of yours is not very good. I feel more and more that I bet on the wrong treasure."

"From another perspective, this is actually a good thing."

Merlin whispered:

"Only after experiencing bad times together can friendship be deeper. I understand the truth, don't you not understand it, right?"

"Hmph, you're pretty good at talking."

Natasha snorted, straightening her body, leaning against the back of the seat, closing her eyes, and ignoring Merlin.

A moment later, the voice of Agent Victoria Hand, who was responsible for flying the plane, rang in the cabin:

"I have entered the reserved airspace and arrive at the sky above the embassy in 3 minutes. I will wait for you in the direction of the airport. Everyone, prepare for the airborne."

"Barton, you and Natasha are in the group, airborne to the top of the embassy! I and Gatler are in the group, looking for the evacuation route in the rear."

Fury put on a black hood, lifted the carbine at his feet, opened the security with a click, and said to the agents standing beside him:

"Merlin, you are responsible for rescuing the hostages. Patton and Natasha will cover you. Don't bother with the rebels and resolve the battle as soon as possible. Is it okay?"

"No."

Merlin carried his head hood on his face, moved his fingers and put on a flying squirrel suit dedicated to urban airborne combat. Behind him, Patton and Natasha carried two backpacks behind him, which were huge explosives.

Fury stood behind the cabin, he moved his body, and Gatler beside him whispered:

"Fry, the last time we were on a mission together was in 1988, right?"

"Yes, almost 5 years ago."

Fury, who was wearing a hood, said in a veiled voice:

"In the outskirts of Vienna, we almost lost you that time."

"Yes, that time it hurts so much that my intestines were broken."

Gatler's voice became softer, he said:

"This time, you won't leave me behind, are you?"

"Never."

The conversation between the two old men was full of some emotional emotions surprised Merlin, who was standing aside.

There is a sense of story between these two people.

But the next moment, under the control of Agent Hand, the rear compartment of the plane passing over the embassy slowly opened, and the cold wind whistled into the cabin at this moment.

Fury pointed his arm forward and rushed out with the lead.

"action"

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish"

Five figures spread their arms and jumped out of the cabin.

Merlin received airborne training in flying squirrel at the Secret Service Academy. He sensed the wind. In the night, he stared at the brightly lit embassy below. He could even clearly see whether there were clean blood in the yard of the embassy. A group of militants had already built positions there, and even several wheeled chariots, small mortars, etc.

It's just like the battlefield.

Meilin spread her hands back, making the flying squirrel's clothes spread out, as if she had added wings out of thin air.

He moved his arms and maneuvered in the air. Behind him were Patton and Natasha, Fury and Gatler flew towards the airspace behind the embassy just now.

The three of them, like silent birds, hovered in the air. Under the cover of the darkness, they made almost no sound, and landed accurately and lightly on the top of the embassy.

"Puff, puff"

Two sharp blades entered the body sounded in the darkness. Patton and Natasha cooperated very exquisitely. Almost the moment they landed, they killed the two patrolmen on the top of the building.

When Merlin landed, she jumped into the shadow cape.

He pulled out the assassination short sword from his waist and followed the stairs at the top of the building and went deeper. Pierce and the kidnapped officials were locked in the basement of the embassy.

Merlin, who was walking in the shadows, did not alarm anyone. He identified the direction and according to his previous plan, he placed several explosives he carried with him on several load-bearing pillars of the embassy.

Ten minutes later, Merlin successfully arrived at the second floor basement of the embassy, ​​but the bad news was that there were tightly guarded by militants. In Merlin's dark perception, at least 15 people patrolled here.

"Merlin, report on the situation!"

Fury's voice rang in Merlin's communicator, and Merlin reached out and held the communicator, and said in a whispering voice:

"I have arrived at the designated location, and there are a large number of militants ahead, and I am ready to deal with them."

"Okay! We have found the retreat route, right behind the embassy. Merlin, fight quickly!"

Fury's order was given, and Merlin took a deep breath, his wrist moved, and he held the two daggers used for assassination tightly again.

"This is a mission, this is a mission."

Merlin told himself this that a few seconds later, he quietly walked behind the militant closest to him, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder. The shadow extended out at this moment, pulling the unexpected guy into the shadow.

He struggled subconsciously, but the next moment

"puff"

The sharp blade cut open his neck and blood gushed out.

Merlin covered his mouth tightly. After a few seconds, he placed the body that no longer moved on the ground, and then walked towards the second target like the best assassin under the shadows.

Five minutes later, Meilin, who showed his body, reached out to wipe the blood from his arms, and then pulled the chains on the door in front of him.

"Clang"

With a sound, the sound of opening the door made Alexander Pierce, who was trapped in the basement, suddenly raise his head, and then he saw Merlin with a hood in front of him.

Merlin squatted down, tear the tape on Pierce's mouth apart, and said to Pierce:

"Sir, you have suffered. We are here to save you, come with me!"

"Um!"

Pierce is also a tough guy. Even though he was abused so badly during the past half day, he was not panicked or ecstatic at the moment of his rescue.

Merlin cut the rope from his wrist and released the other five people in the basement, ready to take them away.

"Give me a weapon, young man."

Pierce limped behind Merlin. The tough old man in his 50s and gray hair gritted his teeth and said:

"I will protect myself, you just need to open the way in front."

Merlin looked back at the commander who had met for the first time. He reached out and took the pistol from his waist and handed it to Pierce. The latter took it in his hand, skillfully opened the insurance, and nodded to Merlin, indicating that they should leave.

"Fry, Chief Pierce has been rescued, and I am taking him away."

Merlin reported in the communication, and Fury's voice rang out the next moment:

"Received! Patton and Natasha will cover you and make sure to keep Your Excellency Pierce safe."

"Come with me, sir."

Merlin said, then stepped out of the basement with his double blades in his hand. Pierce followed him and followed him step by step. The remaining rescued people were still wearing tape on their mouths. This was what Pierce asked, so that these civil servants would not be frightened and would make noises to expose their location.

"You did all this alone?"

Pierce walked out of the basement and smelled the blood. He looked around and found that there were more than a dozen militants lying in the open space, and they had not heard any gunshots in the cage just now.

In other words, the young agent in front of him killed more than a dozen militants with cold weapons alone in the dark.

"Are you Merlin?"

Pierce immediately remembered the newcomer who was recruited by Ms. Carter himself. He had read Merlin's files and knew Merlin had some special abilities.

"Yes, I'm Merlin."

Merlin did not look back. He used dark perception to sense the lives moving around him, and he whispered:

"After learning that you are trapped, I immediately came with Fury and the others."

"Okay! Very good."

Pierce clicked, and he held the gun in both hands and responded in the darkness:

"You are an excellent agent, and Ms. Carter is indeed very keen."

"stop!"

Merlin raised his hand and asked the person behind him to stop, he said to Pierce:

"There is a situation ahead, please wait for a moment!"

After saying that, he walked into the stairs in front of him. After a while, Merlin poked his head out of the stairs and snapped his fingers at Pierce below:

"The situation is resolved! Let's continue."

Pierce walked around the stairs and saw three more bodies lying there at the entrance of the stairs.

This time, as I saw with my own eyes, Pierce finally had an intuitive feeling of Merlin's assassination ability.

This guy walked quietly in the darkness and was simply a natural killer.

A few minutes later, Merlin led a group of people to rush out of the embassy's back door in the rain of bullets that were gradually ringing. Fury and Gatler were guarding a wheeled chariot at the intersection not far away, and they used guns to fight back against the surrounding militants.

"Pearce, get in the car!"

Fury turned around and saw the group rushing towards them. He hurriedly opened the car door and stuffed Pierce and the rescued people into the car.

"Barton, Natasha, retreat!"

Fury issued a retreat order in the communicator.

The next second, a violent explosion broke out in the main building of the embassy. The rapid explosion almost destroyed the heavy weapons and wheeled vehicles of the insurgents. Even their temporary command center was sent to the sky by explosives.

In the dazzling firelight, Patton and Natasha drove a stolen off-road vehicle out of the bombed embassy.

After the two sides met, they rushed to the airport as fast as possible, where Agent Hand was responsible for picking up.

"Someone is chasing me from behind."

Gatler, who was driving, said to Fury:

"They have weapons, find a way to stop them."

"Merlin, knock off their tires!"

Fury handed a sniper rifle to Merlin, who opened the top cover of the wheeled chariot and set up the sniper rifle.

In the night wind mixed with the smell of gunpowder, Merlin's black hair was blown up, and he was holding a sniper rifle and didn't need a sight at all.

"Sorry, everyone"

As the dark perception spread, Merlin put the butt on his shoulder and he whispered.

The next moment, the trigger pulls.

"Bang"

A ray of flame spurted out of the muzzle, and the rebel driver driving the vehicle behind him was shot in the head.

"Bang"

The second shot was fired, and the tires of the truck full of militants exploded.

A car of people rushed into the river ditch on the road in screams. On the last pickup truck, a masked guy carrying an anti-tank rocket was just aiming, and Merlin pulled the trigger again with his finger.

It's like a sickle falling from death.

"Bang"

The headless body fell into the pickup truck's carriage. The anti-tank rocket that had been launched roared into the sky, like a ball of fireworks, illuminating the noisy night sky.

"Done."

Merlin sat back into the car, put the sniper rifle aside, then took off her hood and smiled at Chief Pierce in front of her.

He reached out and said to Pierce:
Chapter completed!
