Marvel: I'm just the Supreme Master's sidekick.

Chapter 27 Saving Private Rhodes

"Target number three has disappeared! Repeat! Target number three is gone!"

The sniper, having lost track of Qin Wuying, shouted in panic.

I was just locked onto by the ray, how did I suddenly disappear?

Upon hearing the report, Commander Skrull was somewhat surprised and quickly looked around warily.

"Hello, are you looking for me?"

Before anyone knew it, an energy dagger was already pressed against the Skrull commander's neck.

"Never mind me, shoot the target! Oh—ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Wuying deftly wiped the enemy off the second floor.

"What a pity, I gave you a chance."

Upon seeing their superior officer killed, the snipers lost their composure and opened fire.

Two bullets flying at extremely high speeds were heading straight for Natasha and Clint.

The white widower pushed off with both legs and tumbled in the air; Hawkeye swiftly took a specially made arrow from his quiver and fired it instantly.

When the bullet hits the arrowhead of the specially made arrow, it is struck and explodes mid-air.

While neutralizing the sniper's first wave of attacks, the three immediately began to move at high speed.

Given the dim lighting inside the factory, the Skrulls had difficulty pinpointing their location.

But the snipers already fired their shots...

A Skrull sniper realized the problem and was raising his heavy sniper rifle, preparing to change his position—

But suddenly I felt a chill in my abdomen.

Looking down, I saw a piercing wound on my lower abdomen.

"What...is going on...?"

Before he could even groan in pain, the Skrull sniper collapsed, clutching his stomach.

Within seconds, Qin Wuying eliminated all the exposed snipers.

"What are you doing? Fury instructed us to spare their lives if possible."

After they regrouped, the widower expressed his dissatisfaction with Qin Wuying's actions.

"They fired first; we were acting in self-defense. Besides—"

"What else?"

"Just say that I, a temporary worker, did all the work, and it has nothing to do with S.H.I.E.L.D."

Clint and Natasha exchanged a surprised glance.

Holy crap, is there even such a way to take the blame?!

After a thorough search of the first factory building, no abnormalities were found.

There are two more to come.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a large group of armed Skrulls at the entrance right now.

They will completely surround the place where Qin Wuying and the others are.

After scanning the area with the infrared system, Eagle Eye roughly determined the number and direction of the enemy.

"Now we're stuck, are we really going to have to start a massacre?"

Qin Wuying patted the widower on the shoulder: "Don't rush, let me turn my back first."

Then, Qin Wuying tried hard to recall what the factory they were in looked like, and the entrance that was covered with locks.

A square portal with blue borders opened before us.

On the other side of the portal, a group of Skrulls carrying rifles stood with their backs to Qin Wuying and the two agents.

"Wait, don't mages need to use a suspension ring to activate this?"

"Your intelligence is quite comprehensive. However, I am more gifted."

The three men nimbly stepped over and silently took down the commander at the back.

The other Skrulls were so focused on aiming that they didn't notice what was happening behind them.

The group then slipped into the second factory that needed to be inspected.

"Dude, why didn't you use this skill sooner?"

The widower frowned, thinking that if he had used the teleportation portal earlier, he might not have had to start the killing spree.

"I can only teleport to places I've seen or been to."

Qin Wuying stared intently at a slightly raised section of the floor and answered casually.

Compared to the previous factory, this one is too empty.

Almost all the abandoned equipment and facilities have been cleared away, leaving only a dusty ground.

"Do the three of us think the same way?"

Hawkeye also noticed the unusual arrangement.

"Ugh... I can't get any strength in here!"

After trying to pry it up for a long time, the widower finally gave up.

This place is probably just damaged or not properly renovated; in any case, it's not a hidden door.

"Uh? There seems to be a small switch here."

Qin Wuying found a lever painted with camouflage next to the raised floor.

Pull the switch, and the hidden door slowly opens, revealing a downward ladder.

The group of people looked at each other.

Although it was a little awkward, it didn't affect the continued execution of the task.

After a long climb up the ladder, the three of them landed one after another.

The air was filled with fine dust, mixed with the smell of an unknown fuel.

In contrast, the corridors are designed in a particularly orderly manner, and the renovations are brand new.

Following the electronic map that Natasha had stolen, they quickly arrived at the door of the most suspicious room.

Of course, we also encountered a few Skrulls along the way.

However, none of them were soldiers carrying weapons, so they were all quickly knocked unconscious.

"Okay, how do we get in?"

Looking at the smart fingerprint lock, Qin Wuying felt a little eager to try it out.

"I copied one of the Skrull fingerprints."

As he spoke, the widower raised the fingerprint extractor and gently pressed it onto the recognition area.

"We don't want to see your grotesque tentacles again," Natasha shrugged.

"Beep beep! Authentication successful."

The automatic doors open to both sides, revealing the scene hidden behind them.

There were many unidentified containers lined up on both sides, and a person was lying in each container.

"It looks like the Skrulls will lock up this poor guy whose identity was swapped in this dark and gloomy place."

Qin Wuying checked each item along one side and finally found Rhodes in the last area.

He quickly called Natasha over, hacked into the system, and unlocked Rhodes's container.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Having just awakened from a long period of unconsciousness, Rod couldn't help but cough violently.

He has not fully regained consciousness and even walking is a problem.

The widower and Hawkeye each held one side of Rhodes' arms, helping him straighten up.

"Colonel, how long have you been locked up here?"

Seeing that Luo De had regained some consciousness, Qin Wuying quickly asked a question.

He certainly doesn't want this universe to experience a collapse of worldviews or the problem of retconning existing knowledge.

Rhodes glanced at Natasha's communication device.

"Not for long, only a month or two."

Hearing this, Qin Wuying breathed a sigh of relief.

That makes things easier. At least Tony Stark's friendship with Rhodes is genuine.

Moreover, there should still be some time before any major events occur.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military will intervene here to rescue them. We'll retreat first."

The white widower relayed Nick Fury's latest instructions to the group.

Using the teleportation portal, Qin Wuying sent everyone directly back to the base where they had met.

Several agents were already waiting there to take Rhodes to the hospital.

Clint and Natasha remained on standby.

As for Qin Wuying, she had just sat down to catch her breath when the phone rang again.

"I'm not accepting any missions right now, you bastard!"

After working non-stop for so many days, even an iron man deserves a rest.

"Sorry. But I wanted to ask if you would like to take a vacation."

Lucy's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sorry, I thought you were from S.H.I.E.L.D."

Qin Wuying rubbed his temples; he was extremely tense.

"It's okay, you can go on vacation with me next."

"Huh? Just the two of us?"
