A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Cao Gui smiled, finished speaking, stepped on the gas, and drove off down another road. But Cao Gui didn't notice that Audrey in the passenger seat was smiling and looking at him with dreamy eyes.

Cao Gui shook his head. He was a good person, but unfortunately, he made a bad choice in his friends.

“Cao, let’s go up the mountain over there. The scenery there should be nice,” Audrey said with a smile, pointing into the distance, a blush still lingering on her face.

She was referring to a small hill that wasn't very high.

"Okay." Cao Gui drove over there.

As the sun set, the sky reflected a magnificent sunset. By the time Cao Gui and his companion arrived at the small hill, it was already getting dark.

"Audrey, we're here. Let's get out of the car," Cao Gui said with a smile after turning off the engine.

But Audrey leaned forward, reached out and pressed down, locking all the car windows and doors.

"Audrey...?"

Have you ever thought about... why I came to find you?

Audrey gently turned around and sat on Cao Gui's lap, lifting Cao Gui's chin and chuckling softly.

Cao Gui: "..."

I didn't know before, but I can see it now.

Audrey chuckled, pressed the button to lower the chair, and then sat down on Cao Gui.

"Cao, let me teach you some new knowledge..."

—————————For her sake I've grown thin and haggard, I stop my carriage to admire the maple leaves at dusk on the riverbank—————————

Three hours later, Cao Gui sighed silently. Sure enough, Cao Cao was an obstacle that needed to be overcome.

---Aside---

Dear readers, there's only one chapter today. I don't know what's wrong, but I feel dizzy and lightheaded, and my mind is a mess. I guess it's because of the vaccine, but I was perfectly fine yesterday...

Chapter 106 Reaper Overrun

Inside the villa, Cao Gui lay on the bed with an indifferent expression, staring at the ceiling, his mind completely blank, quietly enjoying the tranquility of the world.

Audrey lay sound asleep beside Cao Gui, her face slightly flushed. Cao Gui frowned and reached out to remove a curly hair from the corner of her mouth.

It was a bit unseemly, but it's much better now. Just now... it was nothing really, just Audrey warming my stomach with her hard work.

After hugging his partner, Cao Gui, feeling refreshed, pulled the covers over himself and prepared to take a nap.

But then, the computer on the table not far away suddenly started beeping.

Cao Gui's expression changed slightly. He quickly got out of bed to check. This was a small notification program he had set up, which would make a sound when it detected a target.

On the screen, humanoid monsters with white, gelatinous skin are preying on humans and besieging vampires in the streets.

coming!

Cao Gui was slightly startled, quickly dressed and put on his gear, and ran out.

……

"Shit! What is this thing?!"

"Shoot! Shoot!"

"Damn it, these guys are invincible!"

"Ah—, help me, help me!"

"..."

In a secluded, damp, and foul-smelling alley, several yakuza blacks ran around in a panic, like headless flies.

Behind them, several of their companions were being held and devoured by the monster. In no time, the skin of those being eaten by the reaper was shriveled up, and although they were still bleeding, they looked like mummies.

The black yakuza members fled desperately, leaving their shoes and hats scattered on the ground, looking utterly disheveled. The six Reaper mandibles roared and pounced again.

The vampire-modified Reaper was unsuccessful; its extremely fast metabolism meant that if it did not receive food for a certain period, it would die from exhaustion.

Eating and reproduction became their only pursuits.

Apart from the first Reaper encountered with "Cristiano Ronaldo" who still retained some consciousness, the other Reapers were reduced to mere animal instincts.

For these harvesters, humans are excellent food, while vampires are essential creatures for reproduction.

"Crack... hiss hiss..."

The reapers shook their heads, blood seeping from their slowly closing mandibles, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust.

These black yakuza ran too slowly, not even a tenth the speed of the South Korean prisoners of war.

The Reapers leaped forward with a powerful kick, quickly closing in on the yakuza members in the blink of an eye.

But then, several gunshots rang out, and several silver bullets shot out from the darkness, hitting their bald heads precisely.

"Ow!"

The harvesters screamed and fell to the ground, but within seconds they shook their heads and stood up again.

Keep in mind that their skin is not bulletproof; the silver bullets went straight into their brains.

"Oh shit, we're saved, we're saved."

"God, someone has come to save us!"

"Run, run, run!"

Upon seeing this, the gangsters were overjoyed and turned to run for their lives, taking the opportunity to escape.

The six Reapers did not give chase. Although their intelligence had degenerated into that of wild beasts, their instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm remained, and they knew who the real enemies were.

Dressed in black and wearing a helmet, Cao Gui slowly emerged from the darkness, carrying Shi Yu in one hand and a specially made pistol in the other.

“Clatter… hiss hiss hiss…” The harvesters emitted a series of unintelligible sounds from their throats.

"Hehehe..." Cao Gui chuckled lightly, shaking the beautiful Shiyu in his hand:

"Since it's our first meeting, I'm not familiar with the rules. May I ask if we should follow the proper procedures or just start fighting?"

"Hoohoho!"

The reaper monsters couldn't hear Cao Gui's words and roared as they pounced.

Five shots were fired in quick succession, and the five Reapers running behind fell to the ground, leaving only the fastest one in the lead.

But before he could even open his mouth, a flash of silver light appeared, and his fine head shot into the air, instantly decapitated.

"Hooho..."

But the decapitated Reaper was not dead; his headless corpse stood swaying in place, his head rolling to the side.

These Reapers were originally vampires, but were infected and turned into Reapers, thus making up for their weakness to silver bullets and garlic essence.

However, Machinos was unable to help them overcome their fear of sunlight.

Not far away, five Reapers stood up again, roaring as they charged forward, the silver bullets unable to inflict any real damage on them.

Cao Gui's gaze darkened slightly. These monsters' combat strength was only average. As long as their numbers were not too large, Cao Gui could easily suppress them. Although he couldn't kill them, he could make them lose their fighting ability.

But vampires are different. To kill the Reaper, they need sunlight. However, sunlight can also be fatal to vampires, resulting in a lose-lose situation.

"Hoohoho-"

Cao Gui shook his head, raised his hand and threw out an ultraviolet grenade. A burst of purple light flashed, and the six Reapers let out a "roar" and turned into dust.

Hey~

[Host has eliminated the monster harvester, completing one 'Protect the Territory and Safeguard the People' mission. Reward: 2000 Merit Points, 1000 Experience Points.]

Cao Gui's eyes lit up; it was indeed a good head!

……

The House of Pain is actually a bar, a bar where vampires hunt and feed, and the largest vampire gathering place in Los Angeles.

Here, there are not only a large number of lured humans, but also a large number of vampires ready to feed.

Interestingly, the former predators have become the prey, and vampires now face the risk of being hunted.

Fearing it would cause unrest, the vampire upper echelons kept it a secret from ordinary vampires. Apart from a few armed personnel responsible for eliminating the Reapers, the other vampires were unaware that the Reapers existed.

The reason why Maginos kept the news secret was simple: in addition to the factors mentioned earlier, it was also because these Reapers were the stupid things he had done. If the other elders found out, he would definitely be impeached and even face punishment.

Therefore, Maginos deployed his strongest force: the Blood Gang, to handle this matter.

At the same time, by contacting Blade, the vampire hunter, one can deceive a gentleman with reason, and the same applies to a hero. With the words "for the fate of all mankind," Blade has no choice but to join his operation and work hard for him.

Moreover, as the world's first vampire who is not afraid of sunlight, his research value is far greater than that of his foolish son.

It has to be said that Maginos, as an old vampire who has lived for over a hundred years, has mastered the art of political maneuvering.

Inside the bar, members of the Blood Gang and Blade Runners strolled around, accompanied by blasting heavy metal music. The vampires here certainly lacked the elegance of their European homeland, instead exuding a crude, American-style savagery.

Inside the bar, Blade and Blood Gang members moved about; this was the largest gathering place for vampires, and the Reapers had no reason not to come here.

"Nothing was found, Nisha."

"It's the same on my end."

"Blade, how about you over there?"

"Ha ha……"

Inside the headset, the group was exchanging messages, but unbeknownst to them, a dozen or so Reapers, led by Norma, the first Reaper, were secretly lurking in the bar's underground pipes.

I'm still feeling a bit uneasy. I don't know if there will be a second chapter; I can only say I'll try my best... (＠_＠;)

Chapter 107 First Encounter with Pepper Potts

In a building, Coulson and Sitwell stood in front of a giant holographic screen displaying images of Los Angeles captured by surveillance cameras, showing Reapers devouring lives.
