A moment earlier, Luke's eyes had been closed.
One of the two attackers lunged at Pierce and punched at Luke's head at the same time.
It was a pity that the surprise attack didn't work on Luke at all, even though it worked on Natasha.
Even though he was using Elementary Hypnosis and Hallucination to deal with Pierce, his original self, who was used to operating in a three-thread manner, was still idle.
With only two clones, his reaction speed was much faster than the attacker's.
Almost instantly, he threw a punch with his right hand.
It was a very fast punch, but it wasn't very powerful. It was more of a backhand jab.
Only a master of body techniques like him could throw such a strange and smooth punch.
The attacker's fist collided with this fist, and then he felt his vision go black.
Luke's punch arrived first even though he had launched it later.
He had even slightly delayed his punch, so that the attacker wouldn't be able to change direction.
So, he didn't need to use too much strength. All he needed to do was wait for the fast attacker to deliver himself to him.
In fact, the attacker's face did hit Luke's fist, and his lower body was still moving forward, successfully hanging in the air.
Crack!
The man's neck cracked slightly, but Luke heard it very clearly.
Bang!
The assailant collapsed on the ground, and Luke slowly lowered his fist.
Highly focused, he couldn't be bothered to waste time on the dead man, and focused on dealing with Pierce, who was still hallucinating.
On the other side, Natasha didn't turn around until two seconds later, only to see the dead attacker.
The file transfer started, and she didn't have to stand there the whole time.
After waiting for a moment, she examined the attacker who was still twitching on the ground.
The man was wearing equipment that looked like Iron Man armor, but a closer look would reveal that there was a big difference.
At the very least, it wasn't fully covered, and all the joints and places that needed to be moved were exposed. Clearly, it couldn't solve the problem of the flexibility of full-coverage armor.
In that regard, it was a level lower than the Iron Man armor and the Bat armor.
Secondly, the equipment was ugly. Clearly, it was still at the stage of practicality, and couldn't be bothered with aesthetics.
This proved once again that it was more than two generations behind the Iron Man armor in terms of technology.
One had to know that even if the Bat Battle Armor mainly considered practicality, it was still acceptable in terms of aesthetics. It just couldn't be compared to Tycoon's.
Natasha was still observing, when she heard a whooshing sound, and a figure dashed towards her.
Before she could react, a large foot kicked the head of the attacker in front of her.
Crack!
The attacker's neck was crooked at a weird angle. Natasha only heard a sentence: "Just a rubbish product. Look at the information I gave you. There are three Helicarriers. "
Natasha suddenly looked up. "What?"
But at this moment, she was the only living person left in the office. Pierce, who had "looked at" John Doe just now, also had his head hanging on his chest. He was already dead.
But she didn't care about Pierce's death anymore. So be it.
She clicked on the document that she had just received on her brown sunglasses. She only took a few glances at it before her expression changed drastically. She quickly informed Hill who was on the other side of the communication room, "There are three aerospace carriers …"
Hill's voice came from the earpiece, "I can see them."
Natasha: "What?"
Hill: "They're taking off. There are two other docks in the special district, but they don't belong to S.H.I.E.L.D. We didn't know they existed at all. "
Natasha was speechless.
In recent months, their attention had been on Hydra inside S.H.I.E.L.D., and they hadn't paid attention to the other departments of the United States at all. It was normal for them to be a little slow.
Also, as the number of deaths of Hydra members inside S.H.I.E.L.D. increased, the World Security Council and the American authorities kept coming for trouble for no reason.
Now, it seemed that Hydra clearly wasn't a fool.
They had used all kinds of connections to distract Nick Fury so that S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't have time to deal with it, while they secretly "cloned" two Helicarriers.
What was the difference between one and three?
Thinking back to the last battle in New York, if the Chitauri only had one Helicarrier, Luke would have long since gone home to play.
Even in an ordinary war, two teams could play more tactics than one team, and had a higher margin for error.
Even if they didn't play any tactics, they could crush all opponents with their strength.
Based on Tony's third-generation Helicarriers, these three Helicarriers could send all the important cities on the east and west coasts of the United States into the sky.
If they succeeded, the death toll wouldn't be much higher than in the battle in New York, but it definitely wouldn't be less.
Once America's target was sent into the sky, the last three Helicarriers would cross the Atlantic Ocean, sweep across Europe, and finally explode in Asia.
What was terrifying about this plan wasn't who they killed or how many people they killed, but how they killed as many "key people" as possible.
For example, according to Dr. Zola's calculations, Michelle Gable in the White House wasn't a key person, and only a small portion of the advisers were on the list.
The bigshots of certain capital groups, on the other hand, were the first targets.
Many groups needed a strong leader.
Tony Stark, for example, was no longer in charge of the management of Stark Industries, but if he died, Pepper would soon lose her power as CEO, and the group would inevitably fall into internal strife.
In other words, Project Insight existed to clean up all kinds of "key people."
Without these unified people who were charismatic, capable, and resourceful, the world was bound to become a mass of loose sand.
Only by breaking the order of a peaceful society would Hydra be able to rise in chaos.
More importantly, Project Insight didn't have too high a requirement.
As long as 10% of the target was cleared, the world would enter a state of frequent chaos, and Hydra's basic goal would be achieved.
20% was good, and 50% was perfect.
This was just a simple avalanche effect.
The less snow that was pushed in the beginning, the slower the reaction would be, and it might not even spread.
If they could really get rid of 50% of the key people, it would definitely exceed the threshold of the avalanche reaction, and the world would instantly fall into uncontrollable chaos that would last for a long time.
Luke had quickly read all this from Pierce's mind with hypnosis and hallucination.
It turned out that Pierce wasn't that stupid.
Apart from the two modified Death Warriors, his biggest trump card was actually himself.
Naturally, the minister had to use a mere life detection program on himself.
If anyone really shot him dead, the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mothership here would go on a rampage, ensuring that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters would be sent to the sky as well as the special administrative district.
Unfortunately, the cunning Pierce ran into Luke and directly obtained the relevant information from his mind.
Before killing Pierce, Luke used his inventory to put the watch-shaped detector on his wrist.
His skin had already been switched to Pierce's genes, and the detector couldn't detect Pierce's dead body.
He didn't have the time to change the program or anything.
Two Aerospace motherships were already in the sky. If they weren't taken down soon, something big would happen.
