Rat-a-tat-tat!
Rat-a-tat-tat!
After Captain America was blasted away, the Winter Soldier and his team openly stood on the street, holding submachine guns and unleashing a barrage of bullets at Black Widow and Sam.
Fortunately, both of them were highly skilled and used the vehicles on the overpass as cover to dodge and maneuver, avoiding any real harm.
Whoosh!
Amid the fierce battle, the Winter Soldier launched a grenade at the car Black Widow was hiding behind.
With a violent shockwave, the car was instantly blown into the air.
Had it been a normal person, they would have been blown to pieces. But Black Widow was no ordinary person—she seized the moment, jumped off the overpass, and avoided the deadly blast.
While in midair, Black Widow moved as nimbly as a rabbit. She shot a grappling hook at the bridge wall and landed gracefully.
"Wow!" said Iron Man, stunned. "I didn't expect such a pretty agent to have moves like that!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Once on the ground, Black Widow and the Winter Soldier exchanged gunfire, one above the bridge and one below.
"I'll deal with the woman. You go find Captain America!"
The Winter Soldier casually ordered his men, then leapt off the six or seven-meter-high overpass without any assistance.
Several other agents followed behind him, sliding down ropes, each armed with submachine guns—one even carried a Gatling gun.
The hunt for Captain America had begun.
Eventually, three of them arrived at the overturned bus Captain America had crashed into.
The guy with the Gatling gun mercilessly opened fire on the bus.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Bullets rained like a storm, relentlessly tearing into the bus, sparking violently.
The rounds tore through the bus's outer shell and riddled the interior, turning it into a storm of bullets.
Luckily, the other passengers had already evacuated. Only Captain America remained. Otherwise, the consequences would've been unimaginable.
True to his title as a super soldier, Captain America charged through the bullet storm and burst through the front windshield with a loud crash, retrieving his fallen shield from the ground.
He instantly raised the shield in front of him.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A storm of metallic impacts rang out.
But… the bullets were all deflected by Captain America's shield.
Holding the shield in front of him, Captain America quickly charged toward the agent with the Gatling gun.
"I have a question," said Iron Man, unable to contain himself. "Why are they only shooting at the shield?"
The shield was only so big—it could block his head and torso, but his waist and legs were completely exposed.
Yet the enemies only fired at the shield.
It was as if they intended to shoot through it first and then kill Captain America afterward.
Even more absurd, during this firefight, Captain America managed to reflect the Gatling bullets with his shield, killing two agents who were firing at him.
Super soldier perks—some things that defy common logic just happen.
In this way, with only his shield and on the defensive the whole time, Captain America took out two agents with submachine guns and closed in on the one wielding the Gatling gun.
No need to explain much about a super soldier's melee combat ability—Captain America took the guy down with ease.
Meanwhile, Sam was exchanging fire with other agents on the overpass.
Captain America glanced at Sam, ready to assist, but Sam shouted, "I got this! Go help her!"
Without hesitation, Captain America went off to find Black Widow.
After all, Sam's opponents were just regular agents. But Black Widow's opponent was the Winter Soldier!
Soon, Captain America found Black Widow and the Winter Soldier.
At that moment, the Winter Soldier had her pinned down in a corner with his gun, and she didn't dare make a move.
Without any hesitation, Captain America charged at the Winter Soldier, initiating a fierce hand-to-hand battle.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fists and kicks flew with dazzling speed.
Although both sides had their moments, overall, Captain America was clearly being overwhelmed by the Winter Soldier.
"Looks like this is the battle where the Captain discovered some key clue about the Winter Soldier's identity," said Nick Fury, nodding.
So far, everything matched his earlier predictions.
"Captain, have you noticed anything yet?"
As he spoke, Nick Fury couldn't help but glance at the Captain, who simply shook his head.
He'd been closely observing the Winter Soldier the entire time, but so far, he'd found nothing.
There were no telltale signs on the Winter Soldier linking him to WWII.
He genuinely wondered how his future self had uncovered the truth.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
On the screen—
The fight between the two continued. At its peak, Captain America managed to knock off the Winter Soldier's mask.
The Winter Soldier's face was fully revealed to the group.
"Bucky?"
Captain America blurted out, eyes wide in disbelief.
"Who's Bucky?"
The Winter Soldier looked confused and asked back.
The footage froze there.
The atmosphere in the room turned subtly strange. The Winter Soldier's true identity had completely blindsided everyone.
"Bucky. The Winter Soldier is actually Bucky!"
Captain America stood stunned for several seconds, totally shell-shocked, his expression screaming WTF.
He had imagined countless possibilities about the Winter Soldier's identity, but never—not even once—had he thought it would be his best friend and wartime comrade: Bucky!
Nick Fury and Iron Man were equally stunned, feeling like this entire situation was just one massive WTF.
They'd already thought Captain America finding clues about the Winter Soldier was ridiculously lucky.
But reality turned out to be ten thousand times more dramatic.
Captain America literally knew the Winter Soldier!
This felt straight out of a movie. The drama was off the charts.
