However, Captain America didn't bother retrieving his shield at that moment.
Instead, he used one hand to yank his cape, using it as a makeshift shield to block the hail of bullets.
With his other hand, he hurled the hammer forward.
Again, several special forces operatives were knocked down.
Captain America rolled a few times on the ground, evading to a favorable position, and then suddenly, he reached out his hand, and the hammer swiftly flew back into his grasp.
At this point, Captain America continued to use his cape for cover while making a sweeping motion with the hammer.
Crackling and popping!
Streaks of lightning immediately gathered and brewed on Mjolnir.
Captain America then swung it forward.
Streaks of lightning spread out, and several special forces operatives were instantly struck down to the ground.
"Mjolnir is indeed much more convenient to use!" Captain America couldn't help but think to himself.
Thus, with the added power of Batman's cape, Mjolnir, and his shield, Captain America was practically unstoppable, cutting down anyone in his path.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe his progress as breaking through bamboo.
The Hydra special forces operatives who charged out were easily taken down by Captain America.
"Is this some kind of joke?"
Inside the Hydra base command center, the commander watched Captain America's incredible display of power through the surveillance monitors, so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.
How did Captain America suddenly show up and attack?
And how could Captain America be so incredibly powerful?
He could even summon lightning; it was just too exaggerated!
"All combat personnel, go and stop Captain America, now! I mean everyone!"
But after the initial shock, the commander quickly regained his composure.
He roared through the communication channel, directing all available forces within the base.
One special forces operative after another, regardless of what they were doing or what tasks they had at hand, rushed out of the base at the first possible moment.
They went to stop Captain America.
However, the commander also knew that they wouldn't be able to hold off Captain America for long.
"Has the situation become this dire?"
In front of the special forces operatives, there was a fluorescent screen, similar to glass, displaying a person's avatar, which was none other than Crossbones.
As soon as the base was invaded, the commander reported the incident, but no one at the time expected the situation to become so critical.
"How many enemies are there?" Crossbones asked, looking at the commander with a serious expression.
"Only one, sir."
"One? You mean only one?" Crossbones couldn't believe his ears. "Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding, sir, it's Captain America! Captain America is holding a hammer and can summon lightning, and he's wearing strange bulletproof armor, we can't stop him at all!"
"I'll send you the relevant video right now!"
"Sir, according to our estimates, we can only hold out for ten minutes at most. What should we do?"
The commander said to Crossbones with an anxious expression.
Of course, as he spoke, he also operated the controls, and the video of Captain America's powerful display on the screen was quickly sent.
"My team won't arrive for at least thirty minutes, before then, you must hold the line no matter what!" Crossbones sternly ordered the commander.
Then he quickly went offline.
Triskelion.
Top floor office.
Pierce was in a meeting with some relevant personnel, but suddenly, Pierce's phone rang.
After glancing at it, he subtly stood up.
"You all continue, I'll be right back."
Pierce left this sentence and walked straight out.
Because the message Pierce had just received was a code that was only activated in the most extreme emergencies.
Once this code was activated, it meant that it was definitely a very serious matter.
Pierce quickly returned to his office, fully activated the security system, and then contacted Crossbones.
"Sir, emergency situation, Captain America has suddenly attacked the Winter Soldier's base, it is estimated that the base will be completely overrun in ten minutes."
"However, my team will need at least thirty minutes to arrive, what should we do now?"
Crossbones gave Pierce a concise report.
Even with Pierce's composure, he couldn't help but be greatly surprised.
The Winter Soldier's secret base was extremely covert, so much so that not many in Hydra knew about it, so how could it suddenly be attacked?
Even if it was attacked, the base was of a very high level, so how could it be so easily overrun?
However, Crossbones then sent a corresponding video, and after Pierce glanced at it, his eyes almost popped out: "Is that Captain America?"
When Captain America was rescued, Pierce had even thought about taking Captain America for himself, and after the mission failed, he didn't really dwell on it.
In Pierce's view, Captain America and the Winter Soldier were roughly on the same level.
But now that he saw this?
This was so much stronger, wasn't it?!
After the initial shock, Pierce's expression became unprecedentedly grim.
Judging by the strength Captain America had displayed, the situation was likely very serious.
"I understand. Send more personnel, and hurry over to provide support as quickly as possible." Pierce immediately said to Crossbones.
"Also, you have a position in S.H.I.E.L.D., so don't show your face! I'll have Mars take over for you!" Pierce added after a pause.
He then ended the call and immediately contacted the on-site commander at the base.
"Director Pierce!" The commander immediately greeted Pierce respectfully.
"Report the situation on site immediately!" Pierce said to the commander without any preamble.
"Currently, only Captain America has been detected as an invading enemy, but Captain America's combat power is too strong, we simply cannot stop him!"
"I have already dispatched all combat personnel to stop Captain America, but according to the situation on site, they will all be defeated within three minutes!"
"And support will not arrive for at least another twenty minutes."
The commander reported in a deep voice.
"Seal off the base immediately! Wait for reinforcements!" Pierce immediately issued orders without thinking. "If those thick gates also can't stop Captain America, I want you to initiate the purge protocol and immediately release the Winter Soldier!"
"But sir, the Winter Soldier only obeys your commands." The commander said with some hesitation.
The Winter Soldier's emotions were unstable right now; if he were truly released, it might be like unleashing a monster.
"That's right, he certainly is. So, what about you?" Pierce glanced at the commander and asked meaningfully.
The commander then made a certain decision.
He said to Pierce, "Hail Hydra!"
"Hail Hydra!" Pierce also said, and then ended the communication.
