Looking at Lupin and the other two standing up, Lei, who had led his men to break out, was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, the SHIELD agents who were responsible for hunting down Lupin and his two companions but lost their trace and finally rushed here to meet up under Steve's orders also hurried over at this time and blocked their retreat.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the battlefield was a little tense.
"This is the route you take, Lupin!" Jigen looked at the situation with some toothache and complained to Lupin in a low voice.
There are wolves in front and tigers behind, and I am completely surrounded. How can I describe my feeling right now
Lupin was speechless: "How could I know that they would break out from here at this time..."
He didn't want this to happen, but it was just a coincidence that he arrived there. Besides, there were those bastards blocking the road behind him. Even if they had arrived half a minute later, the situation wouldn't have been as difficult as it is now.
"What should we do, break out, Lupin?"
Goemon held a knife and looked around with sharp eyes.
Even he couldn't cut off all the bullets when being attacked from both sides.
"Wait a minute."
Lupin narrowed his eyes and looked at it, but didn't agree.
The current situation is very dangerous, but it is far from a desperate situation. Moreover, judging from the fact that there has not been a direct fight yet, there is still the possibility of conversation.
Even if I really can't hold on, the worst that can happen is that I can use the summoning spell to summon Colin Blake. I won't panic because I have cards in my hand.
"Do you know who they are?"
While Lupin and the other two were talking in a low voice, on the other side, Steve, holding a shield, asked Natasha and Barton who had gathered together.
These three people looked very different, and there was even a warrior with a knife, but seeing that they were able to easily shake off the pursuers sent by SHIELD and come all the way here, he would not underestimate them.
"It's Lupin the Third, but how did they get here?"
Natasha looked at the three of them, somewhat puzzled.
As a world-class thief with a great reputation in the dark world and even a reputation within S.H.I.E.L.D., she would naturally not be so ignorant as to fail to recognize him after meeting him.
But Lupin III has always been interested in treasures and antiques, and coming here at this time is obviously a problem.
"Someone must have hired them." Patton continued.
He had also read some internal intelligence about Lupin III. Objectively speaking, it was not an exaggeration to call him a chivalrous thief. Judging from his previous crimes, it was highly unlikely that they were members of a certain organization. So, if they did not have jewels and heirlooms to attract them, the only possibility was that they were hired.
"Do you know them?" Steve asked, listening to the conversation between the two.
He could tell that this gang called Lupin III seemed to be very famous, but as an old antique who had just been dug out from the Arctic, he could not understand the conversation between the two.
Barton and Natasha looked at each other and whispered to Steve about the origins of Lupin III.
"Boss, what should I do?"
In the center of the battlefield, a soldier asked Lei in confusion.
The joy of successfully breaking through had long since disappeared as they were surrounded again.
Under the blow of such extreme joy and sorrow, the morale of the remaining troops has reached rock bottom.
Lei turned around and glanced at the brothers following behind him, all of whom had dull faces and absent-mindedness, and clenched his fists.
What to do, he didn't know what to do.
Now both the front and rear routes are blocked. Even if he tries his best again, he can only kill a few SHIELD agents at most before being shot like a sieve.
And surrender
This sounds like a way to survive, but Hydra has always been the most ruthless in dealing with traitors, and the entire family will be killed.
Even if he doesn't care, the soldiers behind him will not. If he really dares to surrender, he will be shot secretly in the next second.
What's more, does surrender really work
As a quasi-high-level Hydra member of this branch, he knew that there was a Hydra force hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D.
Even if they really surrendered, the final result would probably not be the same.
So from the very beginning, he only had one choice.
"I don't need to explain the organization's system. If you die here, your family will be properly arranged. And once..." Lei didn't continue to say the rest of the words, but his expression suddenly changed, revealing a tragic momentum, and said: "The time to be loyal to the organization has come!"
Lei raised the rifle in his hand, ready to die here.
The dozen or so remaining soldiers following behind Lei also had changing expressions and gradually increased the force on their fingers gripping the triggers.
After roughly listening to Barton's description of Lupin III's gang, Steve saw the sudden change in the momentum of the team led by Ray, frowned, stepped forward and said, "We don't have to fight."
Even though he knew that it was unlikely to dissuade the other party with words, Steve still chose to step forward and give it a try because the matter was of great importance.
"Captain America, Steve Rogers?"
Looking at Steve's battle suit and the shield in his hand, Lei showed a strange smile on his face.
Steve didn't understand the meaning of Lei's smile, but he nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I guarantee on my reputation that your family..."
He was interrupted by Lei's stop gesture when he was halfway through his words.
"Captain America's reputation? I do believe that, but you are wrong about one thing. From the very beginning, we have been in a life-and-death relationship."
Steve took a deep breath. "Nothing to talk about?"
He didn't care about the other party's manpower, but if the research data on the Blacklight virus was not found, the research on the virus vaccine could not be carried out smoothly. The terrible consequences were so frightening that he was scared just thinking about it.
Lei didn't say anything, but he raised his hand to attack.
The SHIELD side also tightened their guns, and the battle was about to begin again.
Ziyuan, who was also surrounded, looked at the black muzzle of the gun aimed at him, took out his partner's Smith & Wesson M19 revolver, lowered the brim of his hat, and whispered, "Let's start the fight, Lupin."
"Ah!" Lupin had lost his usual cynical expression. His face was full of seriousness, and a small box was held in his hand in the blink of an eye.
The atmosphere at the scene was on the verge of breaking out, and it seemed that a fierce gunfight would break out in the next second, but at this moment, the bright lights suddenly turned red, and a piercing and sharp alarm suddenly exploded from the loudspeakers installed in various parts of the base.
The sudden change made most people on the battlefield a little panicked. Lei looked up, a little confused, but soon he showed a look of relief and burst into laughter.
"Do you know what happened?"
Steve asked as the alarm blew and his anxiety suddenly reached its limit.
Lei listened, a carefree smile appeared on his face, and he said viciously: "We have become abandoned pawns, but you should also be buried with us!"
Lei's words were unclear, and just when Steve was about to ask again, the trembling voice of Sharon, who was searching the third underground floor, came from the headset.
"Sir, the base's self-destruct system has been activated!"
