The Man in the Medical Tank

On the third floor of the Sheep Cave Valley Laboratory, in a makeshift medical water tank, Abraham Whistler opened his eyes.

Because my mouth and nose are protected by a breathing mask, it's not a big deal. But even for those who can open their eyes underwater, it takes a short time to get used to it.

Suddenly finding himself in such an environment, the old Vampires hunter was somewhat terrified. Especially with his hands, feet, and body restrained, Abraham Whistler immediately mistook it for being captured and controlled.

"Calm down, Whistler, you're in my medical tank. This will help speed up your recovery."

The Black Super, appearing outside the glass enclosure, somehow transmitted his voice to the old man inside the water tank—or rather, he thought he heard something.

Black Super tapped on the glass cover of the water tank and said, "If you want to speak, you can whisper. There's a small Mike inside the breathing mask, so people on the outside can hear what you're saying."

Although a brainwave translator for Tiger Language has been completed, human thought is more complex. The brainwave translator can only identify emotions for now, but cannot accurately recognize language, which is why it is not yet useful.

However, Black Super did put a brainwave detector on the old Vampires hunter and collected some data along the way.

The old man in the water tank asked, "Where am I? How did I get tied up?"

"This is my secret base, guaranteed safe."

At a depth of 110 meters underground, even nuclear disaster shelters aren't necessarily that deep, so there's nothing we can do about it if it's unsafe. The power source is the same type of battery used in the Duck Leopard armor, charged at an underwater power plant—a product of Kree Technology.

"As for immobilizing you, it's to prevent you from moving around. Your wound has only been stitched up and hasn't healed yet; moving around won't help you. I also treated your old injury on your left foot; it needs rest and recovery as well."

Abraham Whistler asked his beloved student, "Where's the Blade?"

"He went to cause trouble for the Vampires."

"Damn it, didn't you know it was a trap?"

"Blade did say that, but do you think I can stop him? Besides, you're about to die, do you think I'd abandon you? Even if I wanted to abandon you and go with Blade, he wouldn't allow it, okay?"

"Damn it! How much time has passed?"

"It's been about seventeen hours since you gave me the Black Super injection. It's now the evening of the second day. The surgery was a success. Except for your foul mouth, which I can't fix, everything else is fine."

"I've given you two bags of artificial plasma, plus an Erythropoietin. You're currently on an IV drip of glucose, so don't expect me to let you out for dinner."

"Black Super, do me a favor," Abraham Whistler pleaded.

"This sounds like a lot of trouble, could you please stop talking?"

"Go help that kid. He's recklessly barging into enemy territory all by himself, especially knowing they've set a trap to capture him."

"Sigh, you still told me. You should understand why I don't want to confront Vampires head-on. Just changing my appearance isn't enough to protect me from those guys with their keen sense of smell."

Vampires's sense of smell is quite mysterious; it's not just about smelling body odor, but also about smelling blood. This is why Blade was able to tell from the smell that the blood plasma brought by the Black Super was not right—because it was indeed artificial blood plasma, not real blood plasma.

Abraham Whistler continued, "I know, but I have no one else to turn to. Other Vampires hunters or exorcists don't trust Blade, no matter how much the kid does."

"You're the only one who didn't approach him for money, looks, or physique, and didn't want him because you wanted him. I don't expect you to fight alongside him, but at least keep an eye on his escape route and lend a hand when he's in danger. I can't ask for more."

Black Super used the brief moment to think as he walked around the medical water tank from one side to the other.

One of the main reasons he dared not intervene in the previous Kree- Skrulls war was that Captain Marvel was simply too overpowered. Once that big sister unleashed her full power, there were very few people who could suppress her.

The only time he helped the Quinjet, which was also escaping, was when he returned to Earth from space, reducing the number of Kree warships chasing him. After all, Nick Fury was up there, and he had originally hoped that Fury would clear his name.

However, the current situation is quite different.

It can be expected that the next phase will be a battle between Blood God and Blade.

Does Blade have the ability to win decisively? Is Blood God really as weak as portrayed in the movies?

If Dickon Thaddeus Ross were to succeed, it would undoubtedly only create more trouble for himself.

Unlike the battles against the Kree and Skrulls, whichever alien group wins, they will leave Earth. At most, they'll blow the Earth to smithereens before they leave.

But if the Blood God were to fight the Blade and the Blood God were to win, it would mean that Dickon Thaddeus Ross, or any Vampires who becomes the Blood God, would be more daring in their actions towards the real world.

Can we expect them to only kill the lower classes and not the rich and powerful? In the end, it will probably still be the same old story of those who obey prosper and those who resist perish. And those of us who don't cooperate have a great chance of becoming the chicken in the "chicken kills the monkey" scenario.

Therefore, if you don't want to fall into an even bigger predicament later, you can only take advantage of this critical moment to nip the crisis in the bud; rather than stand idly by and let the situation fall into the Abyss.

Having figured it out, and knowing he couldn't stay out of it, Black Super sighed softly and said, "I understand, I'll go help."

Thanks.

"You're welcome. I'll give you another injection. Get some sleep. I hope you'll have good news when you wake up next time." The Black Super, who had already moved to the other side of the medical tank, controlled the control panel and added a certain dose of sedative.

Under the influence of the medication, the elderly man, who was recovering from serious injuries, fell into a deep sleep once again.

Black Super returned to the second level of the laboratory, which was the original excavated cave. Unlike the third level, it was reinforced with concrete, making the room look like part of a normal building.

The hastily assembled medical water tank required the dismantling of many parts. Fortunately, the parts that are temporarily unusable are all unimportant.

He removed his Black Super and donned his Kevlar suit. To Vampires, this suit was practically transparent, offering no concealment whatsoever.

This was confirmed by Blade himself. Every time he recognized him, it wasn't from hearing the deliberately made footsteps of Black Super, but from the unique smell of blood that convinced him someone had arrived.

So it's time to change into another set of battle gear.

The Duck Leopard (闽: 恶霸) armored Duck Type, green paint version. The most striking feature is the Punjabi hat with pheasant feathers and a triangular inner rim.
