Chapter 323 Crossbones: "Yes, I betrayed you. I am a traitor!"

"Long, promise him, please..."

When Aunt May heard Pierce threaten Spider-Man's life, her heart instantly rose to her throat and she looked at Cheng Long with a pleading look on her face.

Peter is the person she cares about most, and nothing must happen to him.

What's more, the other party only asked for a tube of blood and a handful of hair, which would not cause much harm to the human body.

As Pierce said, the deal was a steal.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, especially since this person is her beloved relative!

However, Cheng Long ignored her plea and said murderously: "Pierce, I advise you not to threaten me, otherwise you will die miserably..."

"If you and I were to negotiate face to face, I might still be a little afraid, but I'm hiding in a bunker now, what can you do to me?" Pierce's voice was extremely arrogant, with no fear on his face.

Since he decided to take action, he had already prepared for the worst.

Not to mention that Cheng Long didn't know where he was. Even if the two of them really had a face-to-face fight, Pierce would not be afraid, because his men had buried a nuclear warhead in the base, which could be detonated at any time and the other side would die together.

He didn't believe that anyone could survive a nuclear explosion.

Even if it was the high and mighty God who was at the center of a nuclear explosion, he would probably be instantly melted to ashes by the terrifying high temperature.

"Really?"

Hearing Cheng Long's sneer, Pierce, who was dozens of kilometers away, felt panic in his heart, as if some great terror was about to befall him, so he took the initiative to give in and persuaded:

"Mr. Cheng, I know it's stupid to threaten you with someone else's child. At worst, I can just step back. I don't want the hair, and I don't need to draw a tube of blood. Just half a tube will be enough to show my appreciation."

"Since you have surrendered voluntarily, I will give you a chance to live. You can drive Peter back here yourself, kneel at the door, and shout "Grandpa, I was wrong" three times. Who knows, if I am in a better mood, I might let you live a few more years."

At this time, Cheng Long had already used his powerful spiritual sense to detect Pierce's location. He could use the substitution technique at any time to replace Peter who was trapped in the secret room, and then kill him so that a river of blood would flow.

When he first acquired the substitution technique, he only thought about saving his life. He did not expect that as his cultivation level gradually improved, the substitution technique would actually evolve into a magical power to save people.

With just a thought, he can replace the hostage with himself to ensure the hostage's safety.

If a policeman learns this skill, he will become a legend in the police force and will always be able to stand tall and talk to any gangster who holds hostages.

"Mr. Cheng, half a tube of blood is already my last bottom line. As a person, you must know when to stop. It will not be good for anyone to fight to the death." Pierce gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger.

Cheng Long is a very mysterious man. He doesn't want to fight to the death with someone unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Oh, you're still feeling wronged, as if I was bullying you for no reason!"

Cheng Long had never seen such a shameless person. He was looking for trouble, but now he was asking himself to back down and make money in harmony in an aggrieved tone.

This old guy has lost all his dignity.

"Long, it's only half a tube of blood. Promise him! As long as Peter can come back safely, you can do whatever you want afterwards..."

Aunt Mei persuaded quietly.

She was scared to death now, holding Cheng Long's arm tightly with both hands, her eyes full of pleading.

"Mr. Cheng, it seems that you have never loved Miss Parker. You only regard her as a free lady for sexual gratification. In your heart, she is not even worth half a tube of blood..."

The cunning Pierce did not hear May's plea, but he still took advantage of May's concern for Peter and tried to sow discord between the two.

It is true that old people become more cunning and old ghosts become more spiritual.

If it were an ordinary young person, after being provoked by him, he might really not care about anything and draw out half a tube of blood to give to Aunt Mei to show his sincerity.

But Cheng Long would not be fooled at all. He gave Aunt Mei a reassuring look and issued the final instructions.

"I'll only give you three seconds. If you don't let me go, you will die."

"3!"

"2!"

"Snapped!"

As soon as the three seconds were up, Cheng Long hung up the phone.

Western suburbs of New York.

Inside a secret underground base of Hydra.

When Pierce heard the busy tone on his phone, his face instantly became gloomy and terrifying, and a huge rage grew in his heart.

"Sir, do you want to fight back?"

Pierce's assistant, Agent Sitwell, asked cautiously.

Although there were many Hydra agents in the base, he did not think that these people had the ability to deal with Cheng Long. A violent monster like Abomination could be knocked away with one punch, and even Crossbones, the strongest member of their Hydra, was unable to resist.

What's more, after Crossbones went to the desert town, he drifted away from them, and this time, even when Pierce gave the order himself, he was unable to call him over.

As a last resort.

They unsealed several of the Winter Soldiers.

One of them is the Winter Soldier equipped with a mechanical arm, Captain America’s good friend Bucky.

"No, kill that kid. I want him to know the consequences of offending Hydra!"

Pierce gave the final order with murderous intent.

Cheng Long's arrogant attitude completely angered the old man.

how many years?

Twenty years, thirty years, or even longer, Pierce no longer remembers.

In short, after he climbed to a high position and became a level seven agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., no one dared to tell him what to do.

Cheng Long is the first and will be the last.

He must make the other party pay a heavy price.

"Sir, he's just a child, why don't you consider it?"

Agent Sitwell wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he didn't dare to follow his leader's orders from the bottom of his heart.

It's not that he still has a conscience, but the disgusting way of death makes him dare not act recklessly.

The deterrent effect of sucking a person dry in an instant is much greater than that of a bullet in the head.

“I don’t want to say it a second time…”

Pierce glanced at Sitwell, his eyes filled with indifference to life.

This guy talks a lot about morality in SHIELD, but in fact, he is a complete lunatic.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come up with an Insight plan, disregarding the lives of hundreds of millions.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'll follow your orders."

Sitwell didn't dare to say anything more. He immediately turned around and looked at an agent next to Peter. He made a small gesture of wiping his neck. The man immediately reached down to his trouser leg and pulled out the dagger tied to his leg.

……

At Aunt Mei's house.

Seeing Cheng Long hanging up the phone without saying anything, Aunt Mei, who was worried about Little Spider, finally lost her temper uncontrollably.

"Long, are you crazy? Why did you hang up the phone? You are killing Peter, do you know that?"

"Don't worry, Peter will be fine."

Cheng Long held down the restless Mei and patiently persuaded her: "Believe me, you will see Peter in the next second. I promise that he will not be missing any limbs."

"..."

Aunt Mei looked at Cheng Long blankly.

She knew she was a little too excited just now.

But she didn't quite believe that Peter could be rescued by Cheng Long in the next second.

After all, she only worshipped the dragon as a god, and the dragon was not a real god. However, what happened in the next second completely changed her mind.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Cheng Long, who was standing in front of her, was replaced by Peter, who was holding a piece of cake with cream on his hands.

The little guy's face was full of terror!
Because before he was rescued, a dagger suddenly appeared at his neck, which made him feel cold to the bone and scared to the point of shivering all over.

But before he could even scream, the environment and people around him changed. The environment went from unfamiliar to familiar, and the big guy who was guarding him became his beloved aunt.

"Mei, Mei, is it really you?" Spider-Man hugged Aunt Mei with his butter-covered hands and said in panic, "I'm so scared. Someone just wanted to kill me. Really, they wanted to cut my throat with a knife..."

"Don't be afraid, you are safe, safe."

Aunt May hugged Peter ecstatically, her joy beyond words.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Long said that Peter could be rescued in the next second, and she really saw her nephew in the next second.

And he brought the person back safely before anyone else took action.

At this moment, Cheng Long is no longer the god worshipped by Aunt Mei, but a real god. Only a god can master such magical powers to teleport a person from one end to the other in an instant.

……

Inside the Hydra underground base.

"boom!"

Cheng Long used the substitution technique to replace Peter and then hit the agent behind him with an elbow, which exploded his heart. His move was extremely ruthless.

The sudden change left dozens of Hydra agents in the base dumbfounded.

Alexander Pierce, Sitwell and others who were preparing to evacuate also opened their mouths wide and stared at Cheng Long in a daze. Only Bucky who was under control and the other three Winter Soldiers were able to remain calm.

"Pierce, your end is here!"

Cheng Long was too lazy to take action, so he directly used the Bloodthirsty Pearl to control everyone in the base.

The next moment.

Everyone, including Buggy, floated up uncontrollably. The blood in their bodies began to boil and flowed out uncontrollably to the surface.

"Bucky?"

Seeing the several Winter Soldiers under his control, Cheng Long thought about it and decided to spare their lives. Although Bucky and the others were useless to him, they could stay with Aunt May and protect Spider-Man's safety.

After the four people landed.

Cheng Long used his spiritual sense to break the Hydra's hypnosis. In front of an orthodox monk, the Hydra's hypnosis was nothing but a crude trick.

In less than three seconds, Buggy and his companions regained consciousness and looked at what was happening in front of them in shock.

Dozens of people fell to the ground like dumplings, their dry bodies shattered and cracked, and many unlucky people even had their heads smashed.

"Do you want to live or die?"

Cheng Long put his hands behind his back, and the bloodthirsty bead was suspended in front of him with great spirituality, shining brightly from time to time, as if it had not absorbed enough blood and was staring at Buggy and the others.

"Want to live."

The four made their choice without hesitation.

"very good."

Cheng Long smiled slightly, took back the bloodthirsty bead, and shot out four strands of demonic energy with a flick of his fingers.

Before Buggy and his companions could even notice, the evil energy had already penetrated into their mouths and noses.

After a brief outage, the figure of a person emerged in the minds of the four people at the same time.

That is the phantom of the god whom they serve unconditionally!

"Bucky Barnes..."

“Irina…”

The four Winter Soldiers introduced themselves and expressed their loyalty to Cheng Long.

"I'll take you to a place. Mei and Peter will be the ones you will protect with all your strength in the future." Cheng Long directly used the substitution technique and replaced the positions of Bucky and the other three with the four mosquitoes from Aunt Mei's house.

Then he took out his cell phone and called Natasha.

About twenty minutes later.

The SHIELD agents, led by Natasha and Nick Fury, marched into the Hydra underground base.

"They are all dead!"

Crossbones, who came with them, saw familiar faces all over the ground, lying on the ground in pieces like mummies, and was very glad that he had made the right choice.

Breaking off ties with Hydra and refusing Pierce's orders was the best thing he had ever done in his life.

"Alexander Pierce?"

"And Agents Sitwell and Johnson, how could they...?"

Nick Fury, who always wears a windbreaker regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, recognized Pierce, Sitwell and others, and felt a chill of fear down his spine.

In recent years, in addition to maintaining the security of the world's "Citi", S.H.I.E.L.D. has also been committed to fighting Hydra. Who would have thought that the dead but still alive Hydra would appear right before their eyes and become S.H.I.E.L.D.'s companion vine.

It’s dark under the lamp!

No wonder after so many years of investigation, they have always caught some small shrimps. With Pierce, the former head of SHIELD, there is no telling how many Hydras are hidden in the agency.

Even among the agents he led to deal with the cleanup, there were many Hydra members among them.

this is too scary!

"Dragon, are they all Hydra?"

Natasha came to Cheng Long with lingering fear and asked in disbelief.

"Of course, Brock knows better than me..."

Swish swish!
Dozens of eyes were instantly focused on Crossbones, making this tall and mighty man of more than 2.40 meters feel uneasy.

After a moment of silence.

Crossbones Bullock nodded and said, "Yes, these people are all members of Hydra, not just them, but also Alia, Dürrenmatt..."

"Bang bang bang..."

Before Crossbones finished saying his name, several Hydra agents who were called drew their guns and shot without hesitation.

Fortunately, Crossbones was prepared. The moment he heard the gunshot, he rolled on the ground and hid in the bunker flexibly.

"Bang bang bang..."

Natasha, Nick Fury and others drew their guns decisively.

The few people exposed by Crossbones were turned into a hornet's nest in less than ten seconds.

However, the riots did not stop. Because Hydra was lurking around, the SHIELD agents no longer trusted each other after the shooting. They each hid in their own corner, carefully guarding their surroundings.

For a moment, the scene fell into an eerie silence.

"Brock, don't stop! Keep exposing it. I don't believe that there are only a few Hydra agents around you." Cheng Long, who was enjoying the fun, urged with a smile.

"That's exactly what I meant!" Crossbones smiled very innocently, "Eriksson, Morris, stop hiding, come out and die!"

Erickson: “…”

Morris: “…”

They were really unlucky today. They actually met a traitor like Crossbones, who exposed his teammates without even blinking an eye.

Damn it, fight them!

Knowing that they had no way to escape, several Hydra agents once again attacked Nick Fury, Natasha, Crossbones, and even Cheng Long.

But the moment they pulled the trigger, their bodies floated up uncontrollably.
