A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

After seeing Cao Gui and his group of three women and one man, Cao Gui silently turned his head and focused his attention back on the television. He glanced at it and recognized the movie as "Vulgaria," a classic film.

Aksela led Cao Gui and the other two to the counter. At that moment, a white guy at the front desk slowly walked out from behind.

"Is there anything I can help you with? You three beautiful ladies, and this gentleman from the East." The receptionist smiled gently... if you ignored the bloody smell all over him.

Cao Gui's eyes flickered; this person, apart from vampires, was the one with the strongest bloody aura he had ever seen.

“My friends need some rooms, and I need your help,” Aksela said with a smile.

"No problem, of course no problem," the receptionist said with a smile. "You'll need to show your passports."

Cao Gui thought for a moment, then took out a French passport and handed it over to Beth and the other two.

"Wow~, so the two beautiful young ladies are American, and this gentleman is French," the receptionist chuckled, speaking with a knowing look.

The French are great, they offer the same prices as Americans.

“Cao…?” Beth asked in confusion, not understanding how Cao Gui had suddenly become French.

Cao Gui chuckled and ignored her. Beth was filled with doubts, but she wisely chose not to press the matter further.

"So, gentlemen, how would you like your rooms assigned?" the receptionist asked.

“I’ll share a room with Cao,” Beth said first. “Whitney, you share a room with Akela.”

“No, Beth, I want to share a room with you,” Whitney immediately retorted.

Beth was furious and glared at her fiercely. "What are you doing following me? I don't want to be watching from the sidelines when I'm getting my man back!"

Whitney didn't hold back, glaring back at him just as fiercely. "Idiot! With such an outstanding man right in front of me, I'd have to be stupid to look for someone else!"

The receptionist and Aksela exchanged a silent glance, both of them mentally issuing a kill order against Cao Gui. This man was too much of a nuisance.

"Alright then, three people, one room. Here are your room keys." The receptionist handed over a set of keys with the room number 237 on them, looking helpless.

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow; this room number was rather unlucky.

……

In the underground laboratory of a dilapidated factory, a pale-faced young man in a white lab coat is intently observing under a microscope.

He is a rare scientific talent among vampires. Although he still looks young, he is actually close to 100 years old.

"Sir, two new live subjects have been delivered," a middle-aged human researcher ran over and said.

"Oh?" The vampire looked up from the microscope, frowning as he asked, "How many more experimental subjects do we have?"

"Sir, there are four. Three are humans and one is a vampire."

“In that case, let’s begin the control experiment…” the young vampire said. “By the way, how many doses of Langley’s reagent do we have left?”

"Two portions, sir."

"Bring them all up, get ready to start the experiment."

At the young vampire's command, two large glass cases were pushed up, and the researchers took out a vial of blood-red potion and injected it into the bodies of one person and one vampire inside the cases.

As the potion was injected, changes began to occur on both the human and the ghost. On the human's body, blood-red lines began to spread along his veins, his veins bulged on his skin, and his muscles expanded along with the expansion of his veins, making his whole body grow larger and larger...

Finally... bang!

It turned into a mixture of blood and bones.

Seeing this horrifying scene, Sitwell and Rumlow broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it, what do we do? What do we do?

The vampire in the glass case also had crimson patterns spreading across his body, but his skin also changed. His skin began to turn white and become transparent, making him look neither like a vampire nor a human.

The young researcher, a vampire, was overjoyed. Had he succeeded?

However, no sooner had the thought crossed his mind than another strange change occurred. A strange "crackling" sound appeared, and the monster's jaw in the glass case began to change, gradually splitting open from the middle to both sides, revealing a bizarre, red mouth that looked ferocious, disgusting, and terrifying.

However, the next second, with a bang, just like the human from before, it transformed into a pile of blood, flesh, and bone fluid.

"Shit!" The vampire at the research institute looked grim. There had been progress, but it had also been a complete failure.

“Let’s switch to Langley’s potion. I want to see the reaction with my own eyes,” the researcher vampire said.

The subordinates opened a refrigerator, revealing two kinds of four-tube medicines, one green and one blue. According to Langley, the blue one could enhance intelligence, and the green one could enhance physical strength.

“Let’s look at the green one now,” the researcher vampire said.

The subordinate swiftly injected the drug into Sitwell's body with a syringe, during which Sitwell was completely unable to resist.

His hands and feet were immobilized with ice, and his neck and spine were secured with ropes, leaving him unable to do anything except turn his head and eyes.

As the medicine was injected, a burning sensation began to spread from the extremities.

"What is the success rate of the experiment over at Langley?" the researcher vampire asked, watching Sitwell's body gradually turn red.

"Sir, Langley has conducted hundreds of experiments, and only one agent successfully injected the drug and survived."

"Oh? Who is it?" The researcher's interest was piqued. "Can we capture it?"

“Sir, that man’s name is Jason Bourne. Langley can’t find him right now, so we might not be stronger than Langley.”

"Alright, let's continue observing the live subjects."

……

In room 237 of the hotel, Cao Gui suddenly felt no panic, but rather a deep unease and inexplicable anxiety.

"Cao, what's wrong with you?" Beth looked at Cao Gui with confusion. This was the first time she had ever seen such an anxious expression on Cao Gui.

"It's nothing, just a little uneasy," Cao Gui said, taking a deep breath. He knew something was definitely going to happen, and he preferred to be safe than sorry. If danger was imminent, where could it be?

Cao Gui turned his gaze to the factory shrouded in the night. The town was small and surrounded by mountains. If vampires didn't have the habit of sleeping in the mountains and hanging upside down in the trees, then their hiding place would definitely be that factory.

"Beth, I'm going out for a bit. Remember, don't wander off, and don't trust anyone!" Cao Gui said before hurriedly leaving the room.

"Hey, wait a minute, Cao..." Beth was about to speak, but Cao Gui's figure had already disappeared.

Chapter 87 The Tragic Situation of Sitville (Seeking First Subscription!)

Whitney, who was rolling around in bed, hadn't even realized what was happening when Cao Gui had already disappeared.

“It’s already 9 p.m., where is he going?” Whitney asked, puzzled.

"I don't know." Beth's expression was serious. She then locked the door from the inside and pulled a table over to block the doorway.

"Hehehe!" Whitney was startled by her series of actions: "Hey sister, what are you doing?"

"Stay in your room and don't wander around," Beth said matter-of-factly. "And don't tell anyone."

"No way?" Whitney's face immediately fell. "Sister, we came here for tourism, to soak in hot springs, not to scare people. Is this really necessary?"

Beth said calmly, "Whitney, no matter what you say, you cannot step out of this room before sunrise tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he took the M4 from his suitcase, inserted the magazine, cocked the bolt, and disengaged the safety. Then, he sat down on the edge of the bed, holding the M4.

Whitney was truly stunned, while Beth looked serious, not like she was joking.

“So… what do we do now?” Whitney asked.

Beth went over and pressed the switch, turning off the lights in the room: "Then you should go to sleep."

"Oh my God, this is too much!" Beth exclaimed, covering her face.

“Whitney, unless Cao comes back, try to keep quiet,” Beth whispered.

"Damn it, I'm never going out with you again. You're acting all weird. You must have been influenced by Cao." Whitney muttered, rolled up in the blanket, and went straight to sleep.

However, less than ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door: "Beth, Whitney, are you in there? Open the door, I need to talk to you."

"It's Akela," Whitney was about to answer when Beth slapped her across the mouth. In the light of the phone, Beth gently shook her head, signaling her to be quiet.

Whitney rolled her eyes, unable to resist Beth's insistence, so she plugged her headphones and went straight to sleep. This was the first time she had gone to bed so early since becoming an adult.

……

On the other side, Cao Gui was running at full speed, and in less than ten minutes, he arrived within a 500-meter radius of the factory.

He slowed down, reduced his speed, found a place to crouch, took out the drone, and began reconnaissance.

As the information transmitted back by the drone, Cao Gui began to slowly learn about the factory.

Just as he had expected, there were numerous surveillance cameras and tight security; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say there was a sentry every five steps or a guard every ten steps.

Cao Gui took a deep breath, his mind racing, quickly processing the information transmitted back by the drone.

Half an hour later, Cao Gui, dressed in the uniform of a factory security guard and with a full beard, slowly walked through the factory.

He killed a security guard and sneaked in using his clothes.

The factory had an old exterior and was even darker and damp inside. Walking through it was incredibly oppressive, and the strong smell of blood almost made Cao Gui vomit.

"Damn it, aren't vampires supposed to be elegant? Why does this place look like a slaughterhouse..." Cao Gui cursed inwardly, but soon he knew the reason.

Cao Gui walked through a long corridor with iron doors on both sides, some open and some closed.

Through the few doors that were open, Cao Gui saw a nauseating scene: behind these iron doors was a room with a large number of torture instruments hanging on it, and inside were two people, one responsible for inflicting the torture, and the other who could only be tied up and tortured.

Cao Gui even saw an old man meticulously cutting a young woman's legs down to the bone, just like cutting a steak.

The girl's mouth was open, but she couldn't make a sound. She could only lie helplessly on the dissection table, at the mercy of others.

These scenes inflamed Cao Gui's anger. If nothing unexpected happened, the fate of the three of them would be the same as that of the lambs waiting to be slaughtered in these rooms.

Damn vampires!

Cao Gui's chewing muscles bulged, he took a deep breath, and suppressed the impulse in his heart. The culprit here was the vampire.

Even if you kill everyone here, the scene here will reappear in another part of the world.

Therefore, we must find the vampire.

Cao Gui lowered the brim of his hat and continued walking forward, but after turning a corner, he looked up and saw that it was the end of the road, with no other way out.

Cao Gui frowned. "Impossible," he thought, "the people in the hotel smell so strongly of blood. They can't possibly be vampires."
