*Chapter 237: Hotdog Bucky*

The car's roof shed its fabric and foam components, but the alloy strength remained high—after all, it was designed to protect passengers in case of a rollover.

The strength was well over a thousand megapascals.

Black Widow didn’t fire her gun; instead, she kicked through the roof with pure physical strength. Captain America realized that his longtime partner had clearly been hiding some secrets.

Falcon, Sam, glanced at the long, shapely leg that exuded both power and beauty. He grinned, thinking, No ordinary man could withstand that leg. One kick, and—no, it would definitely kill you.

The enemy was kicked away, finally giving Captain America and his team a moment to breathe. Sitwell, who had just betrayed Hydra by leaking information, screamed in fear. No one knew better than him how Hydra dealt with traitors.

"Sam, speed up!" Captain America yelled, watching as the Winter Soldier, who had been sent flying, flipped gracefully in midair and landed on top of a black truck to continue the chase. Cap knew there was no easy way out of this.

Sam wanted to speed away, but a rocket was suddenly launched toward them.

“Fuck!” At the last second, Sam managed to jerk the steering wheel, dodging the direct hit. The rocket exploded beside the car, flipping it over on the highway.

The car tumbled down the road like an overturned turtle, spinning several times before coming to a stop. The Winter Soldier was already upon them.

In theory, the attackers should have had the absolute advantage.

They didn’t expect Black Widow to drop the act. She revealed her true strength.

Faced with an enemy speeding toward them, clearly intending to crush them all, Black Widow first dove out of the car window. She performed a beautiful somersault and landed on the upturned underside of the car. As the black truck barreled toward her, she leaped high into the air.

This wasn’t something an ordinary human could do. With a nearly standing long jump, she flew five or six meters, landing just as the truck was about to hit. She kicked straight into the driver’s cabin.

The bulletproof windshield shattered with her kick, and the driver, of course, wasn’t spared. Her first target was him.

Crack!

The sound of a spine snapping echoed.

Her kick was faster than the airbags deploying, and the driver had no chance to react—he was dead instantly.

But it wasn’t over!

In a split second, Black Widow even had the presence of mind to flick her other foot against the steering wheel, causing the truck to swerve sharply at the last second, flipping over on the right side of Captain America’s vehicle.

The Winter Soldier, Bucky, was stunned.

He hadn’t been briefed on the fact that there was another superhuman on their side besides Captain America.

So, when Black Widow kicked two of his henchmen with an airborne double leg strike, he had no time to react.

Bucky managed to roll out of the way, using his powerful mechanical arm to dig into the surface of the elevated highway. He slid for about ten meters before stopping himself.

But Bucky’s henchmen weren’t so lucky.

Those Hydra agents, who in another timeline might’ve at least gotten a few shots off, didn’t even have time to draw their guns before Black Widow shot them all down with her pistol.

“Sam, keep an eye on him,” Captain America ordered. He wasn’t the most agile superhuman, but with brute force, he ripped off his seatbelt and elbowed the deformed car door off its hinges. Crawling out, he met Black Widow, who had just cleared out the entire truck. Together, they began to converge on Bucky from a 120-degree angle.

At this moment, Bucky was still wearing his full mask.

Cap couldn’t recognize the black-haired figure as his lifelong friend.

Drawing his iconic shield, Captain America faced his enemy.

“No matter who you are, your plan has failed!”

“Humph!” Still under the effects of brainwashing, Bucky quickly drew a Glock and fired first at Black Widow, who appeared unarmed.

Rat-tat-tat-tat!

The Glock P18C, equipped with an extended magazine, sprayed 9mm bullets toward Black Widow’s slender figure.

But she wasn’t playing around anymore. With the confidence of a superhuman, she ripped the door off the truck and used it as a shield, charging forward.

Clang clang clang! For 9mm bullets, most car doors offer adequate protection. Without an assault rifle or a large-caliber Desert Eagle, there was no way through. And this truck had been modified to be bulletproof.

Besides, Black Widow wasn’t fighting alone. As Bucky tried to shoot at her legs, Cap’s shield came flying in.

Clang!

Bucky caught it with his mechanical arm, stunningly deflecting the shield.

Honestly, if Black Widow hadn’t immediately thrown the truck door into Bucky’s face, that move would have been incredibly cool.

Bucky raised his non-mechanical right arm in a boxing stance, blocking the incoming truck door.

Before he could react, Black Widow, moving like a phantom, launched a double-footed flying kick.

Boom! Her kick landed squarely on the truck door.

Though she only weighed 48 kilograms, with her superhuman strength, Bucky felt like he’d been hit by a truck.

It wasn’t just one side but both sides. Black Widow kicked, and Captain America rushed in with his shield, delivering a powerful shoulder tackle.

Poor Bucky became like a hotdog from a New York street vendor.

Yes, he was the poor sausage.

Ugh!

Bucky coughed up blood. Because of his mask, it didn’t spray out but instead leaked out from the sides—a truly pitiful sight.

Now in close combat, every punch and kick landed hard.

Thanks to the Super Soldier Serum, every punch Captain America threw was heavy and fierce.

Under normal circumstances, Bucky wouldn’t be outmatched in hand-to-hand combat against Cap.

But now, there was also a much stronger Black Widow.

Bucky, trying not to seriously hurt his friend, punched Captain America lightly with his mechanical left arm. Each punch still whistled through the air.

Even Cap found it painful to take a hit from Bucky’s “strong arm.”

But Bucky couldn’t get any momentum.

Why? Because Black Widow was too smart.

Every time Bucky tried to get some space, she swept his legs out from under him.

Aside from his left arm, Bucky’s body was only as durable as a standard Winter Soldier. He could withstand attacks from normal people but not from someone three to four times stronger.

As Bucky punched at Captain America with his left arm, Black Widow slid in low and, with the strength of a python, locked her legs around Bucky’s right leg. He was forced to kneel, just as Cap brought his shield down, preventing Bucky from counterattacking. This allowed Black Widow to lock her deadly legs around Bucky’s neck.

"Nice work, Nat!" Captain America praised, just as something unexpected happened.

Bang!

A gray SUV, seemingly just another vehicle on the road, crashed into the three of them, sending them flying off the overpass.
