Chapter 299 Assistance

In fact, it was just as Steve had wondered.

Although they are all vampires transformed by the stone ghost face, according to the difference of the stone ghost face, the potential stimulated by the transformed person as a vampire is also different.

If it can be said that the card [Dio] that Li Ran drew to transform a vampire is the most complete and close to the peak potential of Stone Ghost Face. So, most of the stone ghost masks now created by Li Ran using [Kazi] are such stone ghost masks that are inferior in the effect of stimulating potential.

After all, according to the setting, the appearance of the Stone Ghost Face is a tool created by [Kaz] as the Pillar Man in order to overcome his own weaknesses and achieve perfect evolution and transformation into a super creature. Since it is manufacturing, some uneven stone ghost faces will naturally appear during the process.

Although these stone ghost masks also have the effect of transforming people into vampires.

However, there is a certain gap between the transformed vampire and the full [Dio] in terms of strength and healing ability.

Of course, even if there is a gap, these vampires are terrifying existences that are difficult for ordinary people to defeat. At the same time, they also bring a lot of trouble to the Avengers who come on the ship.

…

The thoughts in my mind disappeared in a flash.

Steve looked at the vampire who was still struggling in front of him, then raised the shield in his hand, stepped forward and pressed it against the vampire's neck, and asked in a cold voice: "Tell me, your purpose, vampire?"

"Hey," turning his scarlet eyes, the vampire stared at Steve in front of him and replied in a hoarse voice: "The purpose, our purpose is to kill all of you SHIELD people who ran to the ship. In addition, , do you think I’m the only vampire on the ship?”

"What?!"

The vampire's words made Steve feel uneasy, and he quickly asked towards his headphones.

"Natasha, Natasha!"

"..."

After waiting for a few seconds, I heard Natasha's slightly rapid breathing and reply from the other side of the earphone.

"...I'm sorry, captain, I may need a little more time here. The local resistance is a bit fierce."

As she spoke, Natasha turned her head to look at the vampire with a blackened body and a ferocious expression opposite her, and turned the blue glove in her hand.

Under normal circumstances, she is no match for a vampire.

However, with the equipment developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. using Chitauri technology, it was able to close the gap between the super agent and the opponent, making the battle disparity between the two sides not too great.

However, Natasha couldn't help but curl her lips as she stared at the wounds on the other person's face that were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even though she is strong-willed, she still feels a little bit of a headache when dealing with a vampire with such a strong self-healing ability.

"Tell me your location, Natasha, and we'll be there right away..."

After hearing what happened to Natasha, Steve's expression wrinkled and he was about to go over.

"team leader……"

I heard Falcon behind me say in a helpless tone: "Judging from the current situation, it's not necessarily clear who is supporting whom."

As he spoke, Falcon's eyes scanned the densely packed figures that appeared around him unknowingly, especially their identical scarlet eyes, and the solemn look on their dark faces.

Obviously, as the vampire said before, there were not only a lot of vampires on the ship, but on the contrary, there were many more than they imagined.

"In this world, do even vampires become pirates?"

…

Bang, bang——

With her slender and strong thighs wrapped tightly around the vampire's neck, Natasha waved her fist wrapped in blue light and suddenly hit the vampire's head.

The continuous heavy blows were accompanied by a strong feeling of suffocation, which even a vampire could not bear for a while.

After all, even though he still bears the name vampire.

However, there is still an essential difference between these vampires and the so-called vampires in legend.

If the legendary vampires are evil magical creatures transformed by curses, then the vampires on these ships are more like superhuman monsters with mutated bodies. Their abilities all come from something called the Stone Ghost Face, which has the same near-immortality, superhuman strength, speed, and recovery capabilities as vampires.

However, these abilities have certain limits, especially the powerful self-healing ability he showed before, which requires a certain amount of life force to be effective, and the life force required is not low.

Right now, in the battle between him and Natasha in the computer room, there was obviously no other target to replenish her healing vitality.

Therefore, encountering Natasha's successive attacks, she lost her powerful self-healing ability as her trump card.

The vampire's resistance naturally became weaker and weaker.

Natasha was obviously aware of this, so she launched a steady stream of fierce attacks towards the opponent.

…

Swinging the metal wings on his back, Falcon knocked away the vampires that were coming in front of him. Falcon looked at the vampires that were still rushing up like zombies in front of him, staggered and shouted.

"Captain, we can't go on like this!"

"If this continues, even if we are not killed by vampires, we will be dragged to death by them."

Although he has high-tech wings as an assistant, Falcon is still just an ordinary person in essence. Against vampires whose strength and speed are far beyond ordinary people, it is considered good that he can persist until now. However, this is obviously close to the Falcon's limit.

Bang!

Swinging the shield in his hand, Steve knocked the opposite vampire onto the deck. Steve took advantage of the victory and hit the opponent's neck again.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of bones shattering, the vampire on the ground let out a shrill scream and rolled to the side.

Steve took a deep breath and put away his shield, with a tired look on his face.

Although Steve, who had been injected with the super soldier serum, had stronger endurance than Falcon, it was obvious that he still felt a little overwhelmed by the constant stream of vampires in front of him.

However, during the battle, Steve also clearly felt something.

So, although the vampires in front of him were difficult to deal with, they were not as difficult to resist compared to the vampires he had come into contact with in the past. Therefore, although there were many vampires against him, they were not enough to make him despair.

If every vampire has the same power as he once fought against Dio.

Then, no matter how good Steve's endurance is and how determined his will is, he still has no motivation to continue fighting.

"Huh~"

After trying hard to adjust his breathing, Steve glanced at the vampires around him who were about to move around. He clenched the shield in his hand and was about to step forward.

boom--

A brief gunshot was heard, and a vampire on the opposite side was shot and fell to the ground.

Although the vampire who was shot quickly stood up again, the situation in front of him clearly explained the situation.

"Captain, we are here to help you."

Following the sound of gunfire, the voices of members of the SHIELD action team soon came from the headphones.

"What about the hostage situation?"

Hearing the support from the team members, Steve's expression relaxed, but he immediately thought of the safety of the hostages.

Even in the face of repeated attacks by vampires, he still did not forget that the purpose of his mission was to rescue the hostages on the ship who were taken hostage by the pirates.

"All the hostages have been arranged to be sent to safe places."

In the headset, the response from the action team completely reassured Steve, who was still slightly worried.

Holding the shield in his hand and looking at the vampire in front of him, he said in a deep voice: "Then, I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry, Captain."

…

Click!

He pulled out the special wire rope from his waist and tightly tied the vampire to death as his resistance became weaker and weaker.

Natasha gritted her teeth and suddenly pulled her hand down, instantly tightening the wire rope around the vampire's neck. Seeing the completely unconscious vampire in her hands, Natasha continued to pull the wire rope uneasily for dozens of seconds.

Then he gasped and let go of the rope on his hand, looked down at the red mark on his hand, and then turned back to look at the computer screen still showing the transmitted content.

…

Bang, bang——

Inside the ship, there is assistance from the action team.

Things have clearly improved dramatically for Steve and Falcon.

Although the surrounding vampires still launched attacks, relying on the team's powerful firepower assistance, the vampires' originally overwhelming offensive was obviously slightly hindered.

Although they were transformed into vampires by Stone Ghost Face, it did not mean that they could ignore bullet damage.

The action team's bullets hit their bodies. Although they could not kill these vampires, the damage caused still made the vampires grin in pain.

They are vampires, not unconscious stones. Even because of being transformed into vampires, their senses are sharper to a certain extent.

at the same time,

"Captain, be careful to evade, we are going to use the big guys."

After successive attacks, the action team apparently discovered that their bullets were not as effective as imagined.

After all, these were not the opponents they usually encountered, and ordinary bullets were obviously not as useful as they thought.

Looking at the vampires who kept falling and standing up, and the fewer and fewer bullets in their hands, the action team began to change tactics.

As mentioned before, as SHIELD's action team, in order to cooperate with the actions of the Avengers, they are equipped with extraordinary equipment.

Following the reminder from the team members, Steve and Falcon looked at each other silently, and without hesitation, they threw themselves aside to avoid the situation. And the next second they fell down, with a harsh sound, a missile specially made by SHIELD roared into the galley of the ship where the Avengers and vampires were.

boom!

A huge fire burst out instantly with the impact.

"Ahem..."

There were bursts of coughing in his mouth, and he got up from the ground shaking his groggy head. Falcon looked at the metal steel frame around him that was hit hard by the explosion, and then turned to look at the broken and blackened metal wings behind him. He couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his eyes and said: "I don't know if SHIELD is responsible for repairing it. If it doesn't work, we can only ask Tony."

Because of the reminder from the action team, Falcon controlled the metal wings on his back to make defensive movements before the explosion occurred. However, even so, he did not expect that the effect of the explosion was so amazing. Perhaps it was because the design of the ship's galley itself did not have much buffering, so the missile effects launched by the team did not have much room to vent, and were completely filled in. Entire kitchen interior.

Under such a huge explosion, Falcon was somewhat lucky that he had a pair of metal wings for cover.

Therefore, although the equipment was damaged, at least no one was affected by the explosion.

Unlike these vampires,

While thinking in his mind, Falcon glanced at the vampire in front of him.

Seeing their miserable situation at this moment, even if they were opponents, they couldn't help but take a breath.

Unlike him and Steve who mentioned being prepared, these vampires were not prepared at all before the explosion, because it could be said that they were completely exposed to the power of the explosion. Under the influence of the huge explosion and fire, even vampires whose physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people were unable to resist and were instantly burned by the hot flames generated by the explosion.

The entire galley of the ship was littered with their mutilated limbs and wails.

At this moment, the powerful self-healing ability that the vampires were originally proud of was not only not a good thing, but also became the source of their pain.

Compared with those vampires who died, the vampires who survived the explosion gradually recovered with the ability to heal themselves, but the life energy in their bodies at this moment was simply not enough for them to heal completely. Dragging their charred bodies and a few partially healed wounds, these vampires struggled to move, leaving charred marks on the deck.

Holding his own shield and getting up from the ground, Steve was in a better situation than Falcon, not only because of his stronger physical fitness, but also because of the vibranium shield in his hand.

Arriving next to Falcon, Steve looked at the wailing vampires around him with a silent expression on his face.

"Natasha!"

After all, Steve didn't only know the existence of kindness. Although the Super Soldier Serum strengthened his kindness, his combat career in World War II also made him very clear about the attitude towards the enemy.

Withdrawing his gaze, Steve immediately thought of another teammate, Natasha.

Bang!

Thinking of this, Steve didn't hesitate much and immediately rushed towards the engine room with the shield in his hand.

However, the moment he rushed out of the ship's galley, there was a heavy impact sound.

A shining metallic arm slammed towards him.

Faced with this sudden attack, Steve hurriedly responded. Raise your shield to block.
