The attack on Noel became even more fierce, with a large number of bullets seemingly surrounding him from all directions. Noel quickly used a clone to defend himself. Fortunately, the clone's body was tall enough to completely cover him.
Bullets shot out, piercing the clone. Blood gushed from the corner of the clone's mouth, as though it were free. Noel whispered, "It's okay, you won't die, just suffer a bit." The clone, unable to speak, could only stare at the masked person before him. It had never experienced such intense emotional fluctuations before. Angry yet powerless, it felt extremely frustrated—an emotion it had never felt before.
At that moment, Donald rushed towards Noel and punched him, saying, "Captain America! Don't bring trouble upon yourself by offending us, Essex! You better get out of here! Otherwise, you'll regret it!" Then, something faster than Donald's iron fist—a shield—collided with Donald's body, sending him flying and rebounding back to Noel. The people around took a slight breath at the sight of this scene. This ability to calculate was simply terrifying, even allowing for understanding an attacking range on a moving target.
Noel continued to sprint towards his motorcycle. Just then, Les shouted, "Bring out the heavy weapons, we must stop them!" The mercenaries beside him hesitated, saying, "But he has x-24 in his hands; it's company property. If we destroy it, the company will be furious..." Les gritted his teeth, "x-24 has a self-healing ability! It won't die! We'll just have to spend more time recovering! We absolutely cannot let the other party take X-24 away. This is our latest genetic weapon, and there is still a large amount of experimental data that has not been recorded! We absolutely cannot afford to fail and start over from scratch!"
Donald climbed up from the ground, his whole body in pain. He swallowed a mouthful of blood and fiercely shouted, "Heavy weapons! Listen to Dr. Les's orders!" The mercenaries quickly lifted a rocket launcher from the car, preparing to aim at Noel.
Noel heard the sound from behind. He swiftly hung the shield back on his backpack and quickly drew his pistol from his waist. Turning his head, he instantly locked onto the enemy who had taken out the rocket launcher. Just as the enemy was about to aim, Noel fired a shot towards the back.
A bullet hit the enemy's forehead accurately. In the moment of death, the enemy accidentally pulled the trigger, sending the shell flying towards the ground beside Noel. Seeing this, Noel's eyes narrowed, "Shit!" He quickly positioned the clone in front of him.
An explosion followed because the shell hit closer to Noel, the strong shockwave threw Noel and the clone into the air. They flew forward for a while before both landing near the motorcycle. Noel felt as if his whole body was falling apart, his face twisted in pain, looking somewhat ferocious. He took a shallow breath, "Feels kinda refreshing." As for the clone beside him, its back had been facing the explosion. Bloody and looking much worse than Noel, its original injuries were now even worse.
Noel exclaimed, "Thank goodness you're here." The immobilized clone stared at Noel as if trying to kill him with his eyes. His chest heaved violently, and blood constantly flowed from the corners of his mouth. It was clear that the clone was in a highly emotional state. Noel tried to comfort him, saying, "It's okay, you'll be fine in a while." Upon hearing this, the clone became even angrier and let out an angry growl from his throat. Noel completely ignored him. He lifted him up and stepped onto the motorcycle. With a loud rumble, the throttle was opened, and the motorcycle sped away, kicking up a trail of dust like a long ribbon, fluttering behind them.
"Damn it! We can't let them escape! Drive and chase them!" Les's eyes turned bloodshot, and he stomped his feet in anger. The group quickly ran towards their car, but at that moment, two things flew off the motorcycle and shot towards the convoy. A few sharp-eyed people immediately recognized the shape of those objects. "F**k! They're grenades! Take cover!" they shouted. Two grenade-like objects fell among the convoy. Just when everyone thought that two small explosions were about to occur, the grenades emitted low buzzing sounds. An invisible shockwave was released!
Inside the car, some monitoring devices instantly shut down and went black. The cars that were still running suddenly stalled and stopped buzzing. Lai Si saw that the bomb didn't explode, and his pupils contracted with realization, "Damn it, this isn't an ordinary hand grenade!" He quickly ran towards the car, trying to start it, but he failed. Looking at the dashboard, it was pitch black. No matter how he tried to start it, it wouldn't work. Lai Si grabbed his hair and exclaimed, "Damn it! Captain America is using an electromagnetic pulse weapon! He damaged the engine of our car!"
"To make an electromagnetic pulse weapon in such a small shape, yet with such great power, it must be extremely advanced technology! How could Captain America have such technology? It must have been given to him by Tony Stark! Only a top genius like Tony Stark could create such an electromagnetic pulse weapon! It's really you, Captain America! Don't think that you've hidden your identity, I know it's you!" Lai Si roared in anger, "Captain America! You will pay for your actions!"
One of the mercenaries next to him spoke up, "We still have Caliban! As long as we call for backup, we can lock onto X-24 and retrieve him!" He quickly took out his phone, only to find that it was blacked out. "Fool, even your phone can be destroyed by an electromagnetic pulse weapon!" Dr. Lai Si was furious and helpless. Donald quickly went to check the other cars, but they were all destroyed. He went inside the house, hoping to contact someone, but found that the communication facilities were also damaged. Donald walked out and punched the wall, creating a dent. "Damn it! The range of this electromagnetic pulse is quite large, electronic devices within a radius of fifty meters have all been destroyed."
