Somewhere in Siberia.
It was a scene of ice and snow.
In the distance, a lone snow wolf walked on the snow, leaving a string of footprints behind him.
He was foraging.
Looking for suitable prey.
And Rhodey was also here to find prey today.
And he had already found it!
Right in front of him.
In front of him was a secret HYDRA Base located in Siberia.
This Base had never been exposed to the Avengers' sight because it had never been open to the outside World.
While other HYDRA Bases were being purged by the Avengers.
This Base was conducting various secret experiments, trying to create biological weapons that could contend with the Avengers, ultimately aiming for a huge comeback!
However,
They clearly didn't have this opportunity.
At the entrance of the Base, disguised as a mine shaft, Rhodey slowly walked in.
The moment he entered the mine shaft, the Base's internal monitoring system had already detected his presence.
In a monitoring room.
More than a dozen Hydra Soldier were sitting here, looking at the screens in front of them.
Just then!
One of the Hydra Soldier suddenly discovered a new situation.
"Attention! Camera 3 has captured suspicious personnel intruding!"
This Nine-Headed Serpent Soldier shouted loudly.
The next moment;
The footage from Camera 3 was enlarged to the main screen.
The HYDRA Officer in charge of the monitoring system also saw the person in the footage.
"Who is this person?"
"A tourist?"
This HYDRA Officer clearly didn't recognize Rhodey.
In fact, apart from a few people who knew about Rhodey's situation.
In the eyes of most people, he was just a "four-six-seven" wealthy super rich second generation.
Including those fair-weather friends around Rhodey.
No one knew that Rhodey actually possessed power enough to destroy the World!
Otherwise.
Those guys wouldn't dare to constantly hook arms with Rhodey and call him brother.
Therefore, it was normal for the Officer of this HYDRA Base not to recognize Rhodey; it would be truly problematic if he did!
"Unclear, Officer!"
The Hydra Soldier below immediately shook their heads.
They didn't recognize the person in the footage either!
Just then;
Rhodey in the camera suddenly looked towards the camera and even smiled slightly at it.
Waving his hand to say hello!
"Did he see us?"
The HYDRA Officer was startled and quickly asked.
"Impossible. Our cameras are well disguised. Even a professional Agent couldn't spot it from that distance."
The Hydra Soldier were confident in their monitoring system, but the person in the video was clearly waving at them. How could that be explained?
For a moment,
all the HYDRA in the monitoring room simultaneously looked at Rhodey on the screen.
Meanwhile, Rhodey had already continued deeper into the mine.
Seeing this, the HYDRA Officer, regardless of whether the other party had discovered them, quickly ordered, "Immediately send people to capture this person for me!"
"Perfect. Dr. needs more materials for his experiment. There's no reason to refuse someone who delivers themselves right to our doorstep!"
"Yes, Officer!"
A Hydra Soldier immediately began making arrangements after hearing the order.
Two minutes later.
A well-trained HYDRA combat team emerged from the Base, passed through the Base's all-metal gate, and entered the mine.
"Our mission is to apprehend this intruder. It's uncertain whether the target possesses extraordinary abilities, so everyone be careful later!"
The HYDRA Captain leading the team instructed the soldiers in his squad.
"Don't worry, Captain." A few Hydra Soldier chuckled and patted the weapons in their hands.
"With Dr.'s latest weapons, it's absolutely foolproof!"
The weapons in their hands looked very strange.
They somewhat resembled a fishing harpoon gun.
But they weren't entirely the same.
Especially the transparent part in the middle of the gun body, which contained a purple energy. It looked somewhat sci-fi, but also gave off a sense of being crudely made.
Mainly due to its shape!
It looked too much like a harpoon gun!!
...
Inside the mine.
It was pitch black, with only the dim yellow lights connected by wires on both sides providing a sliver of light to the cave.
But it was very limited.
It must be said,
this mine was disguised quite convincingly.
At least, an unsuspecting person would surely only think it was an old mine.
They would never imagine that a secret HYDRA Base was hidden inside.
Coupled with the sparse population in the area,
it was possible that no one would pass through here for years.
Therefore,
it greatly reduced the possibility of the Base being discovered!
However, at this moment, Rhodey saw a group of people in the depths of the pitch-black mine.
These guys probably thought they were well hidden.
Little did they know that in Rhodey's eyes, they were as obvious as fireflies in the dark night.
From far away,
he had already discovered them!
"Target confirmed!"
"Target confirmed!"
"Execute capture plan!"
"Fire!"
The next second—
several large nets, crackling with electricity, enveloped Rhodey.
These nets were made of special metal wires and carried an electric current that could instantly paralyze a person, making them lose the ability to resist.
Normally, even a Super Soldier, if caught by such a net, would only have one outcome!
That was to be obediently captured and taken away.
But!
this time, these HYDRA had underestimated their opponent.
Just as the nets were about to fall,
Rhodey, who had just been there, suddenly vanished!
Several nets fell directly to the ground.
They caught nothing.
The Hydra Soldier were stunned.
Where is he?
"Are you looking for me?"
Just then, an unfamiliar voice came from behind them.
The HYDRA Captain leading the team almost instinctively turned, fired his weapon, and then rolled away from his original spot.
The entire sequence of movements was executed in one fluid motion.
It was clear that this was a standard action perfected through countless hours of training.
And the weapon the HYDRA Captain held was Dr.'s latest secret weapon from their Base.
This weapon, shaped like a harpoon gun, could fire highly penetrating projectiles.
The projectile looked somewhat like an arrowhead, cross-shaped, and appeared very sharp!
And in reality, it was even sharper, because even a one-meter-thick alloy door would be instantly pierced by this projectile. Its power was far greater than any anti-material sniper rifle!
Its only drawback was probably that the projectile needed to be loaded one at a time.
