Chapter 199 Human Beings

"Bucky, take the remaining team members away! We were all deceived, he is not John Schmidt!"

After catching the flying shield, Steve shouted loudly to the remaining people. The bullet hit "Johann Schmidt" in the face, taking away large tracts of skin, revealing a completely unfamiliar face. Steve rushed back and used his shield to swat the fake "John Schmidt" away. The situation in front of them has become obvious. They have fallen into the trap set by Hydra and must evacuate as soon as possible.

"Dio, cover for me!"

After blocking the vampire's attack again, Steve couldn't help but shout loudly.

Although his strength is not as good as his own, if Dio can take action, he can at least force the Hydra soldiers in the distance and allow the remaining team members to retreat smoothly.

In fact, although the vampire's attack is dangerous, it is not to the extent that Steve is unable to parry it. Enhanced by the super soldier serum and with the help of the characteristics of the vibranium shield, if Steve is given a certain amount of time, he can completely defeat this fake " "Johann Schmidt" held back and even killed him.

Unfortunately, the premise of all this is a one-on-one duel.

At the moment, the attack by a large number of Hydra soldiers has obviously greatly restricted Steve's movements. Under such circumstances, he must avoid the attacks of Hydra soldiers while fighting with the fake "John Schmidt" in front of him. "Special" battle.

At this time, Steve was glad that he was holding a vibranium shield. If he had replaced it with the previous shield, it would not have been able to withstand many attacks.

"Quick, quick, where is Dio, why didn't you see him!"

Bucky asked the remaining team members to evacuate immediately, but he continued to hold up his gun and shot a few times at the vampires in the distance. However, it was obvious that his bullets had no effect. Looking at the bullet holes all over his body, he still moved freely. Bucky's face became extremely ugly as a vampire: "Damn it, what kind of monster is this? Is he really not going to die?"

Even the death army they fought on the front line before was not so difficult to deal with.

"Bucky, be careful!"

At this moment, a blue ray suddenly aimed at Bucky who was standing not far away.

Seeing this scene, Steve threw out the shield in his hand without hesitation and caught the light in mid-air. But he himself was directly hit by the vampire's sharp claws, leaving a bone-deep wound on his arm. If his body hadn't been strengthened by the super arm serum, he would have surpassed ordinary people. The vampire's blow could even Just rip Steve's arm off.

Rolling on the ground to avoid the vampire's next attack, Steve covered his injured arm with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.

The injury to his arm undoubtedly greatly weakened his combat effectiveness, and such a situation was obviously quite fatal to the battle in front of him.

Bang, bang, bang——

Stimulated by the blood, the vampire's emotions were obviously getting more and more excited. It was about to pursue the victory and kill Steve, but the crisp sound of gunfire suddenly sounded, blocking it in front of it.

"Tap tap tap~"

Then, with the sound of footsteps, Dio walked down from the second floor step by step with a mask in hand: "This kind of battle that transcends ordinary people, Steve, this is what I have always pursued."

[Legendary from Steve Rogers +235]

[Legendary from Bucky Barnes +185]

"Dior!"

Looking at the sudden appearance of Dio, both Steve and Bucky had a look of astonishment on their faces, but soon Steve noticed the stone ghost face in his hand and heard the words in his mouth. After speaking, he hurriedly said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, Dio."

"No, Steve, you're wrong."

Brutally interrupting Steve, Dio walked up to Jim's body, held the mask and said, "Do you remember this mask, Steve? I have always believed that it contains unknown secrets.

I have been researching for a long time, and finally I discovered the correct way to use it. As long as you apply human blood on the mask, its ability will be activated..."

"This is just your guess, Dio."

"No, Steve, during this period of time, as I fought with you, I realized that the abilities of human beings have their limits after all. What I have learned from my short life is that the more human beings become, the more they become." When you play with strategies, you will find out how powerless the so-called strategies are in the face of powerful forces. No matter how hard I try, I still can't surpass you...unless I surpass humans."

"What on earth are you talking about, Dio!"

Dio's words made Steve frown subconsciously, with a bad feeling in his heart.

Putting the mask in his hand on the wound on Jim's chest and putting it on his face, Dio shouted loudly: "...So, I will stop being a human being, Steve!"

[Legendary from Steve Rogers +1705]

[Legendary from Bucky Barnes +835]

At this moment, [Dio Brando]'s vampire power fully exploded, and the eyes exposed by the mask flashed with a terrifying red light.

Clang——

The mask fell from Dio's face and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Immediately afterwards, under Steve's stunned gaze, Dio's body appeared in front of him in an instant, and he swung his fist and smashed it down with powerful force.

Faced with Dio's powerful attack, Steve didn't have time to think more, and almost subconsciously raised his intact arm to confront him.

Bang——

Click!

With a dull clashing sound, Steve flew backwards, and Dio's originally raised arms also dropped.

"You're crazy, Dio!"

Seeing that Dio was attacking Steve without any explanation, the expression on Bucky's face suddenly changed, and he raised his gun and turned to him.

However, facing Bucky's gun, Dio showed no fear at all. He jumped up and appeared next to a Hydra soldier. He reached out to grab the soldier's body and stabbed him through the opponent's struggle. He hit him, and then he saw the soldier's body shriveled up quickly, and Dio's originally twisted and broken arm also recovered expertly: "Steve, have you seen it? This is the real power of the Stone Ghost Face. You are now He is no longer my opponent, just like he was when he participated in the Super Soldier Project!"

"Is this the power you seek, Dio, to become a monster?!"

Steve covered his arm and looked at the bodies of the Hydra soldiers that had been sucked dry with a pale expression.

"No, I didn't turn into a monster, I just turned into a more perfect creature than human beings. In fact, I think John Schmidt is right. Since you have power beyond human beings, why bother to hide yourself anymore, Phoenix I don’t want to be with pheasants. In fact, Steve, I have had enough of your weak will! You obviously have superhuman strength, but you are willing to be controlled by others as a clown."

"This world doesn't need too many extraordinary people, especially stupid guys like you, so Steve, go die with your weak will!"

Bucky had been wary of Dio's actions, so the moment he heard his words, he raised the gun in his hand and shot at him.

The pouring bullets hit Dio's body, but did not stop his progress at all.

Just as Steve said, Dio has now become a complete monster.

As he watched, Dio pressed forward step by step, and in his current state, Steve simply couldn't resist Dio, who had turned into a monster.

boom--

At this moment, with the sound of shelling, members of the previously evacuated team came over with backup troops.

"It seems that you are in good luck, Steve." Turning to look at the fierce artillery fire coming from outside the base, Dio's footsteps did not stop but accelerated even faster. He grinned and showed his sharp teeth: " However, I just don’t know if these people are moving faster or if I will kill you faster!”

"Steve, go on!"

Realizing that the bullet had no effect on Dio, Bucky immediately dropped the submachine gun in his hand, pounced on the ground, grabbed the shield that fell on the ground, and threw it in the direction of Steve.

Bang——Bang——

Raising his hand to catch the shield thrown by Bucky, Steve gritted his teeth and blocked Dio's fist.

His condition is not good, especially since the vampire's attack before made him unable to use one of his arms at all. Now he can barely resist Dio's attack, which makes Steve's already serious injury even more serious. , the blood that continued to seep from the wound directly dyed his uniform bright red.

"I want to see, Steve, how long you can last!"

Noticing Steve's injuries, the expression on Dio's face became more and more crazy, and his hands fell like raindrops towards Steve in front of him.

"Dior!"

Seeing that Steve was in an increasingly difficult situation under his own attacks. At this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Um?"

Dio turned around and saw that Bucky had driven in a tank at some unknown moment.

"Do we have to do this?"

In the tank, the surviving team members looked at Dio in front of them, obviously hesitant. They have not experienced the previous situation, so they naturally cannot understand everything that happened during that period of time.

"This is the only way to save Steve!"

To this, Bucky replied decisively, and controlled the muzzle of the gun to aim at Dio and fired it.

boom--

The heavy shells, driven by gunpowder, produced a strong explosion that hit Dio accurately and knocked him away. Steve, who was closest to the center of the gunfire, used the effect of his shield to block most of the damage. . Finally, he staggered and fell to the ground.

…

"Thanks."

Brooklyn, in the secret base underneath the Strategic Science Department.

Steve touched his bandaged wound and thanked Agent Carter silently.

"Steve, you should know that what happened to Dio is not your fault."

Looking at the silent Steve in front of him, Agent Carter couldn't help but comfort him.

The strategic science department had obtained all the information about what happened to the team at the first time, including Jim's death and everything Dio had done.

"I know, it's just..."

Stretching out his arms to pick up the clothes with difficulty, Steve's expression was a little downcast: "I'm thinking that if the doctor had chosen Dio instead of me, maybe these things wouldn't have happened now."

"You should know the reason why Dr. Abraham Erskine chose you as an experimental subject, Steve." He stepped forward and took the clothes in Steve's hands to help him put them on. Agent Carter replied: "The serum can make good people The better ones, the worse ones are worse, and Dio's performance proves how correct Dr. Abraham Erskine's previous choice was, and you are the most suitable candidate for the super soldier serum."

"..."

Agent Carter's words made Steve somewhat silent.

…

"So, this is what happened in the Hydra base?"

Colonel Phillips frowned, listening to Bucky's talk about the previous situation in the base: "You mean, after Dio put on that weird mask, he turned into an unkillable monster?" As he said, Colonel Phillips He turned to look at Howard who was standing aside: "Didn't you say that there is nothing abnormal about that mask?"

"Sorry, Mr. Colonel, I'm just an engineer. You can't expect me to know everything."

Facing Colonel Phillips' vaguely harsh question, Howard raised his eyebrows and replied.

"Because of your negligence, I lost two excellent soldiers."

For Dio, Colonel Phillips has always maintained expectations for him, and even thought that he was the most suitable user of the super soldier serum. I just didn't expect that in the end, he would make such a choice.

"Has Dio's body been found?"

"No." Shaking his head, Bucky frowned and replied, "We have searched there several times since then, but we have never been able to find Dio's body."

"Perhaps he was directly blown to pieces by the cannonball." Having never seen the power displayed by Dio who turned into a vampire, Howard obviously did not think that anyone could survive the power of the cannonball.

"No, Dio must still be alive."

Walking into the strategic research room with Carter Carter, Steve answered in the affirmative.

"If the power of the Stone Ghost Face really exists, then Dio must have been transformed into the legendary vampire by it."

"vampire?!"

"That's right. According to the information that Dio and I read at the Hydra base, the Stone Ghost Face was something that Hydra found with the vampires in Tonsberg Town. However, Hydra did not research the Stone Ghost Face. The power of Dior, but Dio..."

Steve's words made everyone in the strategic research room somewhat silent.

"Where's the mask?"

Suddenly, Colonel Phillips asked Bucky.

After looking at Steve, Bucky replied, "I don't know, maybe he was blown to pieces in the explosion."

In fact, what really destroyed Stone Ghost Face was not the explosion in Bucky's mouth, but Steve.

Dio's transformation made them realize the horror of the Stone Ghost Face, in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the evil power of the Stone Ghost Face. Steve destroyed the Stone Ghost Face as soon as he found it.

Of course, although the approach is commendable. In fact, their approach makes no sense.

After all, the so-called stone ghost noodles are actually just fake.

What really allowed Li Ran to show his vampire power was the system's cards.
