Balvino held the rifle and madly poured fire at the target. With his strong arm strength, even with the full-automatic mode turned on, the bullets were still very accurate.
However, all the bullets were blocked by the shield.
"Shoot! Keep shooting!"
Balvino changed the magazine and continued to aim at Bob Eagle and pulled the trigger. They did not transform immediately, but prepared to give him a big surprise when the lizard man rushed forward in the hail of bullets.
Whether it was Steve, Hawkeye or Black Widow, they were all experienced fighters who responded immediately. While looking for cover, they used their weapons to shoot at Balvino and the others.
For a moment, bullets rained down in the sewer, hitting the ground and walls, causing rubble to fly everywhere.
Steve held the shield in one hand and a rifle in the other, advancing and firing. He alone suppressed four people.
"boom!"
The arrow shot by Hawkeye exploded in mid-air, releasing a dazzling light that instantly blinded people.
The Black Widow was like a nimble civet cat, moving expertly through the hail of bullets. She wanted to take the opportunity to close the distance and eliminate Balvino and his men in hand-to-hand combat.
She reached out with both hands and threw out two electric darts.
Balvino's heart skipped a beat. He realized that the enemy on the other side was definitely not an ordinary person. Their combat skills were terrifyingly high, and their coordination with each other was perfect. Although they took the lead in launching a sneak attack, they fell into a disadvantage in an instant and were suppressed to the point that they could not raise their heads.
Facing the flying electric dart, he simply swung the sheathed scimitar hanging on his waist and knocked it away.
"Roar!"
Bob Eagle roared. Under the hail of bullets, he leaped a few times and rushed in front of Balvino and his men. He was thinking about tearing them into pieces, but his body suddenly froze.
His half-lizard face showed human confusion.
"Cade?"
"ha?"
Cade Eagle looked at the lizardman in front of him and was shocked to find that he was 50% similar to himself.
“Cease fire! Cease fire!”
Bob Eagle raised his hand, and the scales on his body quickly faded away, returning to human form. Now the two of them looked like twins, 90% similar, except that Bob was more sturdy and strong.
"Bob! You, how did you turn into a lizard man?"
The live broadcast was too blurry and did not capture Bob Eagle's face clearly, so Cade only realized now that the mutant that appeared on TV was actually his cousin.
"What exactly is going on?"
Steve put his shield away.
"He is Tessa Eagle's father and my cousin. He runs a farm in Texas."
Bob explained.
"What about these three Mexicans? They don't look like cowboys on a farm."
The Black Widow looked at Balvino and the other two. She could tell at a glance that they were Mexicans, and judging by their marksmanship and tattoos, they were most likely assassins for the Mexican drug cartel.
She had dealt with this kind of thing a lot when she was on duty in Mexico.
"They are the bodyguards I paid to come from Mexico to save my daughter."
Cade almost blinked as if he had come up with a suitable reason.
Black Widow looked at Balvino with some suspicion. The way he knocked away the electric dart just now was not like that of an ordinary killer. Such a clean and neat skill would be difficult even for a SHIELD agent.
"You are too reckless, Cade. Winston is not someone you can handle with just three assassins."
Bob patted his cousin's shoulder comfortingly. He didn't expect that Cade, who was of a soft personality, could do this for his daughter.
"Captain, let them go with us."
In his eyes, Cade would most likely lose his life if he wandered around in this dangerous sewer.
Steve hesitated for a moment and nodded. Cade Eagle's sincere fatherly love touched him, and he really couldn't bear to see this great father who had lost everything and risked his life to save his daughter lose his life inexplicably.
Moreover, the three Mexicans were very good at shooting, even better than the well-trained agents of SHIELD, and they were a strong reinforcement. The situation in the sewer was far more complicated than they expected, and this group of orcs who appeared inexplicably made the situation out of control.
"No... our goals are different..."
Cade hastily refused.
"Your target should be Colonel Johnson. I just want to rescue my daughter. Now that Colonel Johnson has been entangled, it is the best time for me to rescue Tessa."
Black Widow raised the tablet in her hand.
"Your daughter is safe for now."
The drone captured the temporary laboratory built by the lizardmen. A lizardman fell to the ground, struggling in pain. The scales on his body were disappearing rapidly, and his giant body began to shrink, and finally returned to the size of a normal person.
The lizard genes in his body were being rapidly destroyed by the antidote. In just a few tens of seconds, he degenerated into an ordinary person, with only lizard scales remaining on his face.
Tessa picked up the assault rifle that the Lizardman had dropped on the ground, pulled the trigger at the unconscious Lizardman, and shot him into a bloody mess.
"Wise choice."
Hawkeye raised his eyebrows. As a former Navy SEAL, the Lizard Man was definitely not something these two high school girls could resist. If they didn't strike first while he was unconscious, they would end up killing themselves.
"Now our goals are the same. If we don't get rid of Colonel Johnson, your daughter will still be in great danger, especially now that she has created the antidote for the lizard serum. Colonel Johnson will never let her go."
The existence of the antidote almost eliminated the possibility that Colonel Johnson wanted to use the Lizardmen to replace humans. If mutants also had a similar antidote, then mutants would have disappeared from the earth long ago.
Black Widow stared at Cade with suspicion, observing his micro-expressions. She had a feeling that these four people had a big secret.
She knew the killers of the Mexican mafia very well. How could these killers suddenly become so professional? With their ethics, Cade Eagle should have been killed long ago.
"Since we already have the antidote for the serum, why don't we use it to directly turn Colonel Johnson back into a human being?"
Steve had an idea.
Peter Parker, who had been listening silently, shook his head.
"The antidote will only work on lizardmen who have been injected with the serum recently. Moreover, Colonel Johnson has eaten so many of his kind that the lizard genes have already been completely integrated into his body. The antidote will not have any effect."
