The four super soldiers stared blankly, their expressions empty.
Their eyes were cold, predatory, like bloodthirsty animals, and all four fixed their gaze on him at once.
Tony felt like he was being watched by four cobras, slick scales glistening, tongues flicking in and out.
The thought made the armored Tony shiver involuntarily.
"Don't look at me like that… Your girlfriend—or… your mom—isn't on my list of romantic interests, right?"
Bang! Bang!
Two incredibly blunt punches hit him in response.
The four super soldiers split into two pairs, charging at Tony and Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao wanted to test just how far apart he was from these super soldiers.
Using less than half his strength, he engaged two of them in combat.
Tony muttered nonsense as the two super soldiers struck first, pushing him back several steps.
Then the thrusters fired, flames shooting out, and he was about to collide head-on with the pair.
"Go get them first! Leave the rest to me!" Qin Xiao shouted from the side.
Tony's armor arms trembled at Qin Xiao's words. He angled upward midair and charged straight into the fray.
As the two super soldiers moved to pursue, Qin Xiao received two heavy blows on his back, but grabbed the belts of the two approaching soldiers with one hand.
"Back off!"
He toppled the two soldiers to the ground, then spun to engage the remaining super soldiers.
Glancing at Tony again, he accelerated past the others, flying straight into a corridor.
At the far end, the lone female super soldier casually walked out. She shut the door behind her and beckoned Tony with a mocking finger.
Tony didn't have a habit of showing mercy to women. He raised his palm and fired a laser cannon.
The female soldier dodged, but the blast tore a huge hole in the door behind her.
"Ivan Vanko!" Tony said, as if confirming, "You really are here."
Ivan looked up and gave Tony a meaningful smile, then returned to typing on his keyboard.
In the lobby, the rows of armor reflected a flickering white light.
Tony had no intention of fighting the woman. He just wanted to accelerate past her and grab Ivan, just like before.
Unfortunately, the corridor was too low and narrow for more than two or three people to pass side by side.
As Tony accelerated, the female super soldier jumped, kicked off the wall, and used the momentum to grab the armor's leg.
Tony had just boosted, but the thrust wasn't enough. The instant his feet hit the ground, she shouted and slammed the entire suit down.
The armor crashed to the floor with a thunderous boom. The female soldier stepped forward and stomped hard on Tony's prone body.
Flames erupted from his hands and feet, sliding him several meters before he launched into the air.
She floated above him and said, "Alright, you made me angry. Since you're a man… I'll spare your face this time!"
She was about to strike again when a rushing sound came from behind.
Tony instinctively looked back. Dozens of towering suits of armor were charging into the room.
Qin Xiao assessed the situation. After exchanging blows for a while, he realized the super soldiers weren't as fast or strong as he had imagined—they seemed weaker than before.
He wasn't sure if it was due to serum absorption, or because they had been frozen in Siberia too long, but they hadn't fully recovered their strength.
After taking so many punches and kicks, he finally understood just how powerful they were.
Qin Xiao prepared to give it everything, moving at full speed to end the fight quickly.
Suddenly, he heard the whirring of Gatling guns.
He was familiar with the sound—he had played with these guns in Mexico.
Every shot, every pause, came with a brief moment of spinning barrels. His brain reacted immediately, but his body couldn't turn in time.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!
Bullets filled the air.
In an instant, Qin Xiao felt every inch of his lower body being struck.
God knows how many rounds had been fired simultaneously to achieve this effect.
He watched the skin and muscles of a nearby super soldier being torn apart, piece by piece, leaving him as a bloody, fallen figure.
In front of Qin Xiao and another ally stood three super soldiers.
They dodged the first wave of bullets, many parts of their bodies smeared with blood, but avoided the hits.
Qin Xiao stepped forward. Pain shot through the exposed parts of his body not covered by combat armor, especially the back of his head—it felt like someone was repeatedly pounding it with iron fingers.
"I've been shot at how many times on my back?!"
As if in sync with Qin Xiao, the Gatling gun on the right arm of one armor fired twice, using the last two bullets, striking the back of his head. Qin Xiao's head nodded forward twice like a chick pecking at rice.
Fortunately, the weapons in these suits were equipped with small magazines, not modified to hold endless rounds. Otherwise, Qin Xiao would have been under fire for at least two minutes straight.
"Done? My turn!"
Hearing the barrels spin, Qin Xiao snapped his head around.
Dozens of suits that had been leaning against the wall now formed a line.
They must have been the ones firing at him moments ago.
Qin Xiao turned again—several suits stepped back while the ones behind advanced, Gatling barrels slowly spinning.
"Come on, let's see who's faster!" Qin Xiao launched himself like a cannonball toward the armored line.
On Tony's side, the suits roared through the narrow corridor. Both Tony and the female super soldier were caught off guard, slammed and scattered. In the chaos, Tony saw one suit crash through a room, burst through the ceiling, and fly out. Another suit followed, grabbing Ivan Vanko, who clutched his synthetic notebook, and flew toward the hole it had just broken.
"No!" Tony shouted, trying to break free from the surrounding suits, but suddenly, all the suits' chests flashed red, blaring a piercing alarm…
Too late. And the story continues in the next chapter.
