Chapter 318 Bucky the Winter Soldier
Chapter 318 Bucky the Winter Soldier
As the last syllable of the secret message faded, Bucky's empty eyes snapped shut like a cold guillotine. It seemed he was receiving the message and activating the "Winter Soldier" program buried deep within his mind.
This familiar scene filled Alexander Pierce with immense joy. His cloudy eyes were fixed on Bucky's face, his heart pounding wildly in his chest, as if it would burst out of his chest!
"Bucky! No—!!!"
At the same time, Alexander Pierce's sudden whispered roar finally caught Steve's attention. Steve belatedly realized that he had overlooked this culprit and hadn't had time to deal with him.
Therefore, seeing Alexander Pierce standing right next to Bucky, Steve, who could perfectly guess what he was doing, let out a heart-wrenching roar.
The next second, Steve didn't have time to think, and his right hand almost instinctively reached for his waist.
empty!
The alloy dagger that was captured earlier has been melted and destroyed by the Winter Soldier!
In desperation, he picked up the shield he had just recovered and, without even having had a chance to warm it up, poured all his strength and anger into it and hurled it fiercely at Pierce's head, which was frantically chanting incantations!
In an instant, the shield, accompanied by a whistling sound as it sliced through the air, shot straight at Alexander Pierce's unsuspecting face!
The speed was so fast that Alexander Pierce's legs were already weak and powerless...
Even if Alexander Pierce's body were still able to move freely, this kind of murderous attack was far beyond what a pampered man like him could possibly react to!
So much so that he subconsciously looked up and saw the shield that was constantly enlarging and approaching within his field of vision.
Alexander Pierce's heart leaped into his throat. He couldn't help but grit his teeth and complain inwardly.
"Damn it, is this the end...? We were so close...!"
"Bang—!"
At this critical moment, a sudden change occurred!
As the secret code took effect, Bucky, who had been lying quietly on the recliner with lifeless eyes, sprang up from the recliner like a wild beast awakening.
The next second, Bucky, the prototype of the Winter Soldier and the most outstanding one, simply raised his silver-white metal left arm and caught the shield, which was moving faster than the limits of visual perception, in his palm without any deviation!
The immense kinetic energy contained in the shield dissipated instantly. Its sharp edge was less than an inch from Alexander Pierce's forehead!
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Having once again struggled to survive on the brink of death, Alexander Pierce collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon, utterly exhausted.
But soon, the ecstasy of surviving the ordeal surged through Pierce's already fragile nerves like a high-voltage current!
It worked!
The password worked!
The Winter Soldier has been awakened!
He's protecting me!
Although, judging from the fates of the other five Winter Soldier members, theoretically, Bucky alone would not have been enough to allow Alexander Pierce to escape...
But Bakki's unique identity and experience are the last hope that Alexander Pierce relies on!
Thinking of this, Alexander Pierce suddenly turned around.
The face, contorted with fear and ecstasy, instantly blossomed into an exaggerated, wide grin that stretched almost to the ears, a mixture of relief and control!
He looked at the silver-white metal arm that firmly gripped the deadly dagger, as if looking at the most loyal guardian deity!
