Dark Battle in the Northern Country

Blade's actions significantly suppressed the Vampires ' power, bringing a temporary lull to Los Angeles's Dark World.

However, several months later, this action seems to have emboldened the hawks among the Vampires, and their counterattacks have become much stronger. It just goes to show that the greater the external pressure, the greater the reaction.

Although the intervention in the positive world has not led to a return to the original situation, the battles between Vampires and Vampires hunters sometimes cannot be concealed and make it into the media.

However, when the news media reports on this, they either refer to heinous criminals from non-specific ethnic groups or they smear Mutants.

In any case, the word "Vampires" remains a taboo subject.

Take Blade and Abraham Whistler's stronghold, for example; it was raided by Vampires once.

Fortunately, before the enemy could attack, Abraham Whistler received a warning from other Vampires hunters. Black Super also helped by driving them from the warehouse district to an abandoned steel mill in the industrial area.

Abraham Whistler was able to gain such favor because he secretly First Embrace Serum developed by Black Super.

Those who can work as Vampires hunters are people who deeply despise Vampires, these dark creatures. For them, the most painful thing is to see themselves or their family members transformed.

Previously, people could only rely on garlic extract injections and gamble with their luck; now that there's a cure available, who wouldn't welcome it?

Not to mention that this serum can also be used as a weapon against Vampires. The downside is that its production volume is not large; otherwise, considering only the material costs, it would be much cheaper than silver bullets and silver cones...

These Vampires hunters simply distrust half- Vampires like Blade, and therefore refuse to work with him.

However, Abraham Whistler, the old hunter, was still highly respected. Some of his connections were made possible by the help of these fellow hunters.

Therefore, as soon as the Vampires made any unusual moves, Abraham Whistler received a warning from his colleagues and immediately evacuated.

This chaotic experience of moving made Henry realize that building his secret base in a location inaccessible to ordinary people was a wise move. Moving every few days was truly exhausting.

While the battle between Vampires and Vampires hunters rages on in the dark side of Los Angeles, another covert war is raging in the icy lands to the north.

Alexei Shostakov, the super soldier codenamed "Red Guardian," has been arrested.

To prevent him from resisting arrest and escaping, the police who came to arrest him were heavily armed. Everyone was fully armed and had long guns in hand before they dared to escort this super soldier.

Although Alexei was a hothead, his patriotism was genuine. He did not resist or refuse arrest; he simply questioned his arresting officers loudly.

"Why, why arrest me? I just wanted to suggest to that Tatar that we could be more lively and cheerful, instead of being so lifeless and serious as before."

"And I only said these things to General Dreykov. Did he betray me? Dreykov, come out! I know you've been watching nearby. Come out and face me, tell me why. Aren't we comrades?"

Although Alexei did not resist arrest, his behavior was far from cooperative. He frantically turned his head, searching for the treacherous accomplice who had betrayed him.

The police squad leader who came to arrest him said to his subordinates, "Alexei, we're not arresting you for such a ridiculous reason."

"Don't you know the information you brought back was wrong, yet you're still smugly boasting about your achievements? You damned bastard. We're here to investigate this matter; cooperate properly."

To get this man, who was as strong as a bear and several times stronger than an average person, into the car, the police escorting him used every trick in the book, and their actions were inevitably a bit rough.

Such strength wouldn't actually harm a super soldier, but it would certainly hurt their pride. Alexei retorted, "Hey, hey, kid, show some respect. When I was serving my country, you were still breastfeeding. I'm Red Guardian!"

Behind Alexei, the young man who was pushing hard against the bear-like man's backside, trying to shove him into the car, said with difficulty, "Now, there is no longer any red that needs to be protected!"

Upon hearing the young man's words, Alexei felt as if all his strength had been drained away; he stumbled and was pushed into the car.

Perhaps burying his face in the seat was too uncomfortable, so Alexei adjusted his position and sat properly in the car. This relieved the police officers, who prepared to escort him to the security bureau.

But as he was leaving, Alexei, staring blankly out the window with a heart full of despair, suddenly shouted excitedly, "Suka... Bruyne! Stop the car, stop the car! I see a damn United States, Nick Fury."

"Stop the car, we're going to arrest him! Do you know how valuable this guy is? Nick Fury! Panny! Did you frame me?! Ah~!"

On the roadside, two people, who were already wearing coats to keep warm even though it was only early September, were watching a convoy drive away out of the corner of their eyes.

However, it was early morning, when the temperature was lowest, so their appearance wasn't particularly conspicuous. Furthermore, their coats and beanies helped to conceal their faces.

For the one-eyed, Old Bai man standing at the front, this warm clothing was also particularly important. This mission had made him realize that his physical condition was no longer suitable for fieldwork.

The young woman behind him was an outstanding newcomer who had been sent to provide support.

However, this newcomer's mindset is not calm enough. When they appear here to confirm their achievements, they should pretend to walk by as if nothing happened, so as not to arouse suspicion from those who might be interested.

But the target's loud voice seemed to come from even the passing vehicles. The girl couldn't help but ask, "Sir, Red Guardian spotted us?"

Fortunately, the girl didn't turn to look at the convoy, which prevented the one-eyed Old Bai from lowering her opinion of her.

The Old Bai man said, "Don't underestimate Alexei just because he's a reckless brute. His battlefield instincts are terrifying. People like him are easy to let their guard down and then fall into his hands."

"Fortunately, we don't have to confront him directly. How's your investigation into the second target's movements going? Have the contacts I gave you been of any use?"

Barbara Morse, who had arrived in the North, said, "Sir, the Iron Maiden Melina Voskov, has returned to General Dreykov's protection. No one can find their location."

"In the end, we still went back to the Red Room," Benedict Nick Fury sighed. He then asked, "What about the third goal?"

Barbara Morse said with some difficulty, "The collected fragments and parts have been handed over to the postman and sent back home by express. Only a portion of the original documents and personnel records from the Alien Research Institute have been found."

"Regarding personnel, a considerable number are missing, and only a small number have been located. However, there are doubts about whether we can make contact, so there are no plans to do so for the time being. What If...? we want to find more information, we'll need to allow more time."

Old Nick Fury asked, "Is finding evidence that that man was an alien something you can't accept?"

"No, sir. I'm just worried that he might have mental problems, as the Skrulls say," Barbara said, making up a casual excuse.

"We shouldn't take another race's records from nine thousand years ago, especially those from someone who didn't experience it firsthand, as reliable information. That person's actions and behavior are the reliable basis for our judgment."

"Yes, sir."

"Let's go, evacuate along Route C. We've had enough." Old Nick Fury concluded his trip to Russia.

This mission might be his last field mission. Replacing a Red Guardian is definitely a worthwhile trade, Nick Fury thought to himself.
