Introduction

Although it looked like shattered minced meat, this mass of shredded meat still retained the vitality of a biological organism, constantly gathering together and coalescing into a humanoid form with complete limbs and facial features.

If the details were refined and a skin-like substance were to cover its body, this lifeform would be completely human.

But just then, a dazzling white light flashed, and the lifeform that had condensed into a human shape was scattered again, its flesh and blood splattering the entire interior of the sealed device.

It was unclear if the scattered flesh and blood had its own consciousness, but after experiencing failure once, it began to gather again, attempting to form a human shape. However, just as it was about to succeed, another white light flashed. It was like Sisyphus in Greek mythology, who angered the gods and was punished to push a boulder to the mountaintop, only for it to roll back to the foot of the mountain every time before reaching the summit. Sisyphus could only endlessly repeat this doomed task.

Before Wei Xiuming arrived, this lifeform had already repeated this process an unknown number of times. Nick Fury, like a god on Mount Olympus, watched its failures mercilessly.

Nick Fury pointed at the coffin in front of him: "This device is a failed product—the beam it produces is highly lethal to biological organisms. Even a small amount of energy can instantly shred an adult blue whale into minced meat. However, its usage is very limited; the effective range is too short for weaponization, and atmospheric dissipation can also harm the user. Currently, it can only be used to create a sealed environment for experimental testing. This has become a cage to contain this creature. It's irradiated almost once every minute, but this cannot completely kill it; it can only slightly delay its recovery to its original form."

Nick Fury's folder contained the analysis results of this flesh and blood sample, but many items were marked with question marks. However, Wei Xiuming could recognize what it was. After all, he had personally created the so-called Amazon Cells by dissecting the X Gene from the Deathbird part of his own cells and artificially inducing mutations. That was the origin of Amazon Cells.

The flesh and blood before him was using Amazon Cells adopted by humans (vampires). It was one of the two special injections given to Victor. Combined with the inherent regenerative abilities of the Blood Clan, its near-time-reversing recovery capabilities made even Wei Xiuming, the creator, quite alarmed.

"Where did you capture it!" Wei Xiuming looked at Nick Fury, whose complexion was as dark as ever, and asked with a tone of suspicion: "Don't tell me you found a Fang Vampire base. With this level of recovery ability, it should be a cadre-level existence."

The Blood Clan really wasn't very effective. Such a strong individual could move freely in lower-level military bases, yet it fell into the hands of ordinary people.

"What?" Nick Fury turned his head and looked up at Wei Xiuming: "This creature is the Fang Vampire you mentioned!"

"It's not just that; it's even more terrifying." Wei Xiuming took a deep breath and handed Nick Fury a few pages of reports from the folder.

Nick Fury looked at the pages, which he basically couldn't understand, and felt a headache coming on, as the most frequent marks on them were question marks indicating conclusions that couldn't be reached due to technical issues.

Wei Xiuming said: "You've seen the recovery ability of this Fang Vampire. In my memory, even noble-class Fang Vampires don't have this much strength—and in this analysis of Fang Vampire cells, some things are very indicative. You should be very familiar with them."

"This creature's life state is very special; half of it possesses the traits of vampires in the database," Nick Fury said, pointing to the analysis charts on certain pages. "And the cell sampling and analysis results found that the other half of this creature has extensive similarities with your genetic testing results. Although further analysis of the specific structure is impossible, a simple judgment can be made. If you hadn't introduced yourself beforehand, given the technical capabilities you've displayed, there's a high chance I would suspect you created this so-called Fang Vampire."

"War and procreation are important components in promoting human technological progress. In the process of fighting Shuka and other threats, we also learn from their strengths. I, born as a weapon, am proof of this," Wei Xiuming said slowly. "The reason this Fang Vampire has become so powerful is the Amazon Cells, which I thought were almost impossible to appear—Please contact the World Security Council as soon as possible. We have a big problem."

Wei Xiuming admitted this, which was not outside of Nick Fury's expectations. After a long period of analysis and summarization, Wei Xiuming's psychological model had already been completely constructed, and his behavior could be predicted with 80% accuracy.

Wei Xiuming looked at Nick Fury and said, "Can you tell me where this Fang Vampire was found?"

"In the wreckage of the Parker couple's crashed plane. At the time, due to the high-altitude fall, fuel leakage, and fire, its tissue structure was constantly being destroyed and regenerated. This consumed a large amount of its substance, slowing down its recovery ability, which allowed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to capture it," Nick Fury said. "And during transportation, it killed and ate several agents, which led to a rapid increase in its recovery power."

As for how the Fang Vampire was captured and imprisoned in this coffin-like device again, Wei Xiuming didn't ask; that was the Black Eggplant's secret.

What he cared about now was whether his touted Amazon Cell threat theory had touched Nick Fury, thus triggering a global purge of vampires led by the five major powers.

Adopting a thoughtful posture, Wei Xiuming cleared his throat and began to recite the settings he had written in his mind along the way: "Amazon Cells, according to database information, have two origins."

"The first is that Japan, an Axis power along with the Third Reich, established a Shuka branch. Their public identity was a pharmaceutical company called Nozama (NOZAMA), engaged in the development of biological weapons. Amazon Cells were their research achievement—besides being used as weapons, their greatest utility was extending human lifespan without the rejection reactions similar to organ transplants. According to intelligence analysis, the initial objective for the development of Amazon Cells was to extend the lifespan of the chairman of Nozama Pharmaceutical, with weaponization being a byproduct."

Nick Fury silently dismissed this possibility. Japan could only follow America's lead now. If they wanted to suck blood, they could; if not, they would be beaten. They didn't even understand their own internal affairs as clearly as an external intelligence organization like S.H.I.E.L.D.

After his first meeting with Wei Xiuming, Nick Fury had already sent people to investigate Japan. After all, in exchange for technology, America had harbored a large number of Japanese war criminals. It was possible that some of them still had ambitions and colluded with the remnants of the Third Reich.

At the time, as fellow Axis powers, no one could be sure of the relationship between the Third Reich and Japan. The Third Reich declared war on America precisely because Japan, their junior partner, had stirred up trouble.
