After addressing Shamila, Shield Mountain finally looked at Luca in the passenger seat and said with slight hesitation.
"Master Luca... I still advise against you moving with us. I believe assisting Wrench with technical support here would also be a great help to us."
If this were a normal squad operation, Shield Mountain would never waste so many words on his team members, let alone use a consultative tone.
However, given Luca's status and the fact that he hadn't quite figured out the young master's temperament yet, Shield Mountain naturally spoke more cautiously.
But Luca had different ideas about his suggestion.
Although Kingpin was nominally just a "decently successful" gang leader, he was still a famous Marvel villain.
Luca didn't want any losses to the only force he currently had complete control over.
To put it arrogantly, Luca choosing to join the risky operation was also a way to provide a safety net for the entire squad.
Of course, out of respect for Shield Mountain as the captain and to build trust, Luca didn't completely reject his command.
"Don't worry, I'll stick with Thresh and Baymax. I believe the two of them can protect me well."
Saying this, Luca turned to look at the bald burly man still biting his nails.
Thresh immediately hid his hand awkwardly and sat up straight.
"Alright, since you insist, Master."
Shield Mountain patted the back of Wrench's seat in front of him, returning to his serious mission mode.
"Wrench, start preparing surveillance coverage."
Wrench's fingers flew across the keyboard in the front seat, replying quickly without stopping.
"Security system intrusion in progress! Surveillance coverage complete in thirty seconds!"
Shield Mountain immediately turned around and scanned everyone.
"Everyone, final equipment check. Ensure communication channels are clear!"
"Operation start!"
With a single command.
Thresh quickly pushed open the van door. Shield Mountain, Shamila, and Green Bull put on their tactical goggles and rushed out of the vehicle one by one.
Thresh also shouldered his M249 SAW squad automatic weapon and followed quickly.
Only Baymax, clad in carbon fiber armor, was left behind. It shuffled out of the van slowly, then trotted to catch up with the four.
"I'm going too. Be careful alone."
Luca greeted Wrench.
Then he put on his bulletproof vest, opened the side door, got out, and followed Baymax at the rear of the squad.
Wrench, busy hacking the system, didn't reply until he hit the enter key for the last time. He then reported over the comms.
"System intrusion successful. Surveillance coverage complete."
Simultaneously, the screens in the surveillance room of the luxurious building flickered slightly, then returned to "normal."
After this, Wrench pulled a hidden lever in the corner of his seat.
Suddenly, the driver's seat rotated 180 degrees to face the rear cabin.
Holding his laptop, Wrench reached for a switch on the roof. Four staggered screens unfolded rapidly, and a square table rose from the previously flat floor.
Wrench scanned the four screens now connected to his computer.
"Surveillance feed acquired. Target not found. The third floor is a blind spot. Suspect..."
Wrench paused slightly, realizing something. He looked at the thermal imaging feed still displayed on the screen and continued.
"Thermal imaging shows 5 people in the room on the third floor, 3 armed. Based on body size, confirmed mission target is in the east room."
Honestly, although Wrench was the youngest member of the squad, he had been on many missions.
But this experience was truly unique.
Isn't this basically wall-hacks?!
For a moment, even as a logistics support personnel, he felt an unprecedented thrill.
Leaving aside Wrench's internal excitement...
On the other side, Shield Mountain, having rapidly approached the target location, raised his hand to signal a halt. He whispered:
"Wolf Spider, Green Bull, advance with me. The others, hold position here in silence."
Then he tapped his earpiece lightly.
"Longbow, confirm target. Guard post at 2 o'clock."
"Longbow, copy." Longbow's voice in the headset was cold as ice.
Shield Mountain looked down at his tactical watch, silently calculating the time.
"Four patrol groups. 20-second guard blind spot. Wait for my command."
After speaking, Shield Mountain signaled Shamila and Green Bull to follow, silently counting down.
5... 4... 3... 2... 1!
"Longbow!"
Whoosh—
A sniper bullet cut through the air, crossing the 300-meter distance in a blink.
The gang guard on the watchtower, who had been lazily leaning and smoking, suddenly had a blood flower bloom on his forehead and collapsed.
Simultaneously, Shield Mountain and the other two rushed to the perimeter fence.
The moment a two-man patrol appeared, they raised their guns and fired.
Pfft pfft pfft—
After several faint, typewriter-like shots, the two patrolling gangsters were hit multiple times and silenced before they even realized what was happening.
Shield Mountain ignored the slight noise of the falling bodies and immediately pulled out a probe, placing it against the wire fence.
"Not electrified. Green Bull, cut an opening with me. Wolf Spider, watch our backs!"
"Yes!" x2
Shamila immediately focused, scanning the surroundings with her gun raised.
Green Bull pulled a pair of wire cutters from his tactical bag and tossed another pair to Shield Mountain.
But before cutting, Shield Mountain thought of Baymax waiting behind them and added helplessly:
"Cut the opening a bit bigger this time."
At the same time, he didn't forget to order Longbow on the abandoned building in the distance.
"Longbow, watch the patrol gaps. Eliminate all enemies on the other three watchtowers."
"Longbow, copy!"
Under the rooftop billboard of the abandoned building in the distance.
Sitting on his small folding stool, Longbow received the order and quickly moved his scope away from the trio dismantling the wire fence.
Hmph, the weak deserve only death!
Reciting his lines internally, Longbow aimed the muzzle resting on the Nikon tripod at the guard on another watchtower in the distance.
Seeing the enemy locked in his crosshairs yawning and scratching an itch, Longbow's expression remained unchanged, but his disdain grew stronger.
Hmph, to die in confusion and ignorance... how lucky you are, human!
His finger gently squeezed the trigger. Blood burst from the temple of the man in the scope, and he slumped over.
"Southwest tower, eliminated!"
His voice remained calm and cold.
