"I think I'm starting to miss those cute little terrorists."
Looking at the dangerous situation in front of her, Natasha tilted her head helplessly and muttered a sarcastic complaint.
Then the wires in both her hands tightened, and she directly engaged the charging beasts.
"Roar!!"
At that moment, as the first Hellhound lunged at Natasha with a savage howl, she flipped both hands, and a thin wire flashed out.
Natasha kept twisting, flipping, and darting across tables, platforms, and research equipment.
In a situation where the smaller-bodied Hellhounds should have had the advantage, Natasha instead used her agile movements to shake off wave after wave of them.
Several Hellhounds even ended up crammed together because of the narrow space.
This time, after dodging several more times, Natasha returned to the ground and crouched low as she watched the Hellhounds charging toward her from not far away.
Right in front of them was a barrier made from several metal wires that Natasha had woven together into a tight killing net.
But for these Hellhounds, already consumed by frenzy, such an obstacle naturally could not stop them. Every one of them threw itself at Natasha with all its strength.
But at the moment of impact, the tremendous momentum turned the first Hellhound into a burst of torn flesh. Then, as more and more Hellhounds charged in from behind, the scene instantly turned into a meat grinder, with chunks of flesh spraying out through the gaps in the metal wire mesh.
However, as more and more Hellhounds threw themselves forward, the huge wall of flesh and gore gradually began to weigh down the hastily built wire net.
The table legs and equipment it had been tied to began trembling violently, looking as if they could collapse at any moment under the increasing force.
When Natasha saw that, the heart she had only just managed to calm immediately tensed up again.
She quickly looked around.
At this critical moment, she had to find another tool before the wire net gave out.
Then, when she looked into the hallway outside, Natasha was delighted to spot a fire axe.
In the next instant, she pushed off with her toes and rushed straight toward it.
Bang!
With a brutal elbow strike, the emergency glass shattered at once, revealing a cold gleam from the fire axe lying quietly inside.
But she had no time to admire it.
At that moment, Natasha could already hear the Hellhounds behind her breaking free and charging out.
The moment she grabbed the axe, she caught sight of one Hellhound already lunging toward her from the corner of her eye. She swung backward in one motion, and the Hellhound was split in half from head to tail.
A flood of dead blood and internal organs spilled out in an instant.
Even Natasha's stealth suit, which had started out clean, was now dyed mostly red from the battle.
At that moment, Natasha could only pray that these things were not carrying some kind of infectious disease.
Otherwise, she could already imagine the kind of decontamination waiting for her once she got back.
But before she could think further, the last two Hellhounds pounced at her as well.
This time, Natasha swung the fire axe in a wide horizontal sweep.
The two Hellhounds flying toward her were instantly severed into upper and lower halves, then slammed into the wall as piles of rotten meat.
"Hah... Hah..."
Only after seeing that there were no more Hellhounds left did Natasha finally begin adjusting her breathing rapidly.
The fight had been short, but every second of it had required her to drive every muscle in her body to the limit.
By now, she felt nearly exhausted to death.
But before she could fully relax, she suddenly saw the corpse that had earlier been cut clean in half beginning to twitch and writhe again, as though it were about to revive.
Yet before it could continue, Natasha raised the fire axe and hacked down again.
This time, she chopped those writhing chunks of dead flesh into several more pieces, the kind that could never be put back together.
Only then did the dead flesh finally go still.
"Damn it. I'm never taking another job involving this company again."
"At this rate, who knows what kind of monsters they'll come up with next."
"Fury, you owe me therapy for this."
Complaining under her breath, Natasha began searching for another way out.
The path she had entered from was already sealed off, which meant the only option left was to keep moving deeper.
She did not know what would be waiting for her next, but surely it could not be more disgusting than those dead dogs.
...
Meanwhile, after watching everything Natasha had done through the live surveillance feed, Killian could not help raising an eyebrow.
What he had not expected was that S.H.I.E.L.D. had set its sights on him this early.
And the one they had sent was none other than Fury's top field agent, Natasha.
For a moment, Killian found himself uncertain about how to deal with her.
Although he believed he had no reason to fear S.H.I.E.L.D. right now, that organization was basically a loaded cannon.
As long as they believed something was right, they would dare to do anything.
And they answered only to the Security Council, meaning the five great powers.
No single country had the authority to order them around.
Their agents were spread all over the world.
It could be said that if you could imagine it, they were already involved in it.
If he killed Natasha here, then yes, the secrets of the base would stay hidden.
But it would also completely draw S.H.I.E.L.D.'s full attention.
In other words, from that point on, he could forget about continuing to develop in peace the way he had been.
For a moment, Killian felt like his head was about to explode.
At that instant, he finally understood why, during the Three Kingdoms period, both Sun Quan and Liu Bei had wanted Cao Cao to be the one to kill Guan Yu.
This kind of thing was a blazing hot burden.
If you killed her, the only reward was unlocking a title.
Beyond that, there were no real benefits at all.
But if you did not kill her, she still disgusted you just by existing.
At this point, Killian could fully relate to Liu Bei.
Still, while Killian was weighing his options, Natasha, under the deputy's arrangements, was led deeper into the base and entered a pure white room.
Inside were all kinds of training equipment.
At a glance, Natasha immediately knew this place had definitely been used to test the real combat performance of some kind of organism.
Beep! Beep!! Beep!!!
And then, as the loud alarm rang through the room...
