Hearing the sound, Luca quickly turned his head.
Behind the counter of the convenience store, two burly, bald black men with fierce expressions poked out half their bodies.
One of them even held a pistol of an unknown model, pointing it directly at his chest.
"Bastard! What are you looking at! I told you to get out! Don't attract those monsters!"
The other bald black man, holding a dagger, leaned out again, forcibly lowering his voice to roar at Luca, while not forgetting to gesticulate with the dagger in his hand.
However, seeing that he didn't even dare to speak loudly, he truly lacked much deterrent power.
It was only then that Luca noticed.
Right next to the counter, a young woman in a convenience store uniform was already lying in a pool of blood, having suffered multiple stab wounds.
With a little thought, Luca could guess the general situation.
It was nothing more than two pieces of trash who didn't dare to escape, occupying the nest and hiding there to await death.
However, after noticing Luca's gaze, the black man holding the gun seemed to gain some confidence, and his voice grew louder.
"Get out! If you don't leave now! This will be your…"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Luca suddenly raised his gun.
A light blue laser shot out, squarely hitting the chest of the gun-wielding black man.
The guy, who had just straightened up, instantly had a scorched chest and was sent flying backward, knocking down a large pile of miscellaneous items behind the counter.
Before the other black strongman could react to what had happened, a second laser followed close behind.
"Boom~"
The same scene reappeared, and the black strongman holding the short knife also flew backward.
"Idiot, didn't you see I also have a gun?"
Looking at the two fallen men, Luca didn't care if they were still alive, directly stepped forward and gave each of them an additional shot to the head, ensuring these two idiots were completely dead, then slightly stretched his back, which was a bit sore from crashing into the store earlier, and turned to continue his journey.
But when he reached the store entrance, he found that…
Perhaps due to the earlier explosion upstairs, or the commotion caused by killing these two black men just now.
At this moment, several Chitauri soldiers were slowly surrounding the store's location, holding energy rifles.
And as Luca discovered these Chitauri, they, too, noticed him.
No time to think.
Without a word, Luca hooked a can of soda from the ground with his right foot and directly kicked it in mid-air, shooting it.
At the same time, he quickly aimed his folding energy rifle and continuously pulled the trigger.
The rapidly spinning can and several lasers shot out simultaneously.
The can, as expected, hit the bullseye, exploding directly on a Chitauri's head, causing him to instantly fall unconscious.
However, due to the hurried shooting, only one of the several lasers hit its target.
The remaining Chitauri soldiers naturally wouldn't let Luca, this enemy, go, and immediately raised their guns to aim.
However, before Luca could exert force again to jump away and hide behind cover…
A familiar golden-red figure spun and rapidly fell from the sky.
As if playing bowling, he 'clanged' and 'clattered' as he successively knocked over four or five Chitauri soldiers, then heavily smashed onto the ground.
The unlucky one who was hit first even exploded on the spot, his head rolling to Luca's feet.
'This is the third time… Was Tony that miserable in the movie?'
Looking at Tony Stark, who once again landed in front of him in a similar posture, Luca himself felt a bit dumbfounded.
'Soccer Kid?'
Similarly, Stark, who was struggling to get up, also noticed Luca inside the store.
However, before he could figure out why this kid wasn't staying home obediently but instead running around…
More Chitauri soldiers had already quickly surrounded him.
Clearly, in the eyes of these Chitauri, eliminating these members of the Avengers was a very high priority.
Several lasers continuously struck Tony Stark's armor, preventing him from standing steadily.
He could only barely cope with the less powerful repulsor blasts from his palms.
'No! Isn't this the scene before Iron Man went to stop the nuclear missile?!'
This somewhat familiar scene immediately made Luca realize that he had to quickly help the other party eliminate these enemies.
Otherwise, if Stark went all out and flew off to deal with the nuclear missile, he alone might not be able to handle such a large Chitauri encirclement.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Luca quickly raised his gun to aim.
Several quick bursts of fire instantly took down two Chitauri who were besieging Tony Stark.
However, his actions clearly angered the enemies who had previously ignored him.
Immediately, several Chitauri raised their guns and fired in Luca's direction.
Fortunately, Luca had anticipated this and flashed away from his original position beforehand.
At the same time, in the middle of the street, Tony, who had gained a slight respite chance, immediately raised his hand and took down three Chitauri.
However, just as Luca got up with a clumsy roll on the ground, preparing to counterattack again…
He found that two energy rifles were already aimed at him from the opposite side.
'Not good!'
"Kid! Get out of the way!"
Stark suddenly lunged forward, tackling a Chitauri soldier, while simultaneously firing a beam from his right palm, directly blasting another Chitauri soldier away.
However, the second attack was half a beat too slow.
The trigger in the hand of the Chitauri who was blasted away had already been pulled.
A light blue laser instantly shot towards Luca's location.
'Damn it…'
Even though Luca had already made a dodging motion the moment he realized he was being aimed at.
But this squatting posture after rolling could not fully utilize the strength bonus provided by the Power Enhancement Shoes, and his dodging movement was far less agile than before.
At this moment, he could only desperately raise his arm to shield himself while dodging.
"Bang~"
An explosion sounded.
A burst of sparks erupted on Luca's arm, and he was sent flying backward, heavily smashing into a car behind him.
Under the immense impact, Luca felt a sharp pain in his back, followed by his vision going black, almost causing him to faint on the spot.
The explosion, coupled with the dull thud of the impact, filled Luca's ears with a ringing sound.
A strong metallic taste instantly filled his mouth, and crimson blood flowed from the corner of his lips.
He slowly slid down from the somewhat dented car door.
Fortunately, his right leg, which was constantly stimulated by the 'first gear' electric shock, remained strong, allowing Luca to endure and not fall to the ground.
'This body, it needs some exercise!'
Luca opened his somewhat blurry eyes.
He 'raised his hand' to look at his ruined prosthetic right arm, then suddenly grinned with his blood-stained mouth, revealing a somewhat chilling smile.
"Hahaha, good thing I'm right-handed!"
