The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 371 Abnormal Situation
In the evening, the sun set and the sky gradually turned orange, marking another day of fruitlessness.

After searching for several days, there was still no result.

The Avengers have already prepared themselves mentally for a protracted war. They have survived the previous two or three years, so another two or three years won't be a problem!

The hustle and bustle of the city gradually subsided, and the street lights lit up one by one, illuminating the streets as bright as day, isolating the night completely outside the city. The streets were no longer noisy and crowded as they were during the day, and only the occasional lone night walker was left walking in the darkness.

Scott leaned back, rubbed his eyes tiredly, picked up the espresso handed to him by Natasha, took a sip to refresh himself, and prepared to call it a day. On the wall opposite him, there were dozens of virtual screens hanging, monitoring the energy fluctuations in various parts of the city. If there were any suspicious movements, Friday would transmit the corresponding location to him for manual review and elimination.

Although it is not very realistic to monitor the fluctuations of real gems through this method, it is the only option when there is no other way.

"Thank you, Natasha. I'll leave it to you tonight."

"Everyone rests at night, there are fewer signs of human activities, and the fluctuations have basically subsided. In fact, it is relatively much more relaxing."

"In fact, many times, I doubt whether it is really useful for us to just hold on like this?" Scott sighed.

"For most work, you don't know whether it's useful until the results come out." Natasha was much more patient than Scott and didn't seem anxious at all.

"Just like we used to infiltrate gangs, and in the end we found out that the gang leaders were just tools and knew nothing about intelligence."

"Like Professor Hulk, he must have often encountered experiments in which the final result proved that the research direction was wrong."

“This is so common!”

"But as long as you patiently eliminate the wrong options one by one, the correct result will naturally emerge."

"Patience! You must be patient!"

As the two were talking, suddenly a virtual screen popped up from among the many screens, and a dim red light flashed on the border.

Scott hurriedly put down his coffee, tapped the screen, enlarged it, and looked at the screen carefully.

The location corresponding to the screen is at the entrance to the city. It was through this entrance that the Avengers entered the city that day.

A shabby SUV came careening along the road, knocking down and running over several small trees at the intersection. Even after entering the city, the vehicle did not slow down and continued to rush forward madly.

In the car, a woman was driving in the front seat, and two men leaned out of the rear windows on both sides, not caring about the bumps and dangers of the car, and kept shooting at the back with their rifles. As their muzzle flames sprayed, the red light of energy detection on the virtual screen also flashed.

Scott leaned back in his chair in frustration. "It's always like this! Most of the things we detect every day are energy fluctuations caused by gunshots. Maybe we should ask Professor Hulk to lower the sensitivity of energy detection. There's nothing to worry about with gunshots!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a black shadow rushing in from the darkness on the screen. It was so fast that he couldn't even see his figure or appearance clearly on the screen. Only a black shadow could be seen. Wherever the black shadow went, the street lights went out, allowing the darkness to invade the city again.

The shadow caught up with the car, and pulled the man who was shooting out of the car. Then he retreated and disappeared into the darkness. The car lost control due to the force and crashed into a house on the roadside.

At the same time, the detection red light on the screen became bright red like blood.

"This is an abnormal event!" Scott stood up in an instant, "Let's go save them immediately!"

Natasha shouted, "Captain, something's happening!"

Before she finished her words, the door of the room burst open, and Xingyun appeared in the room first. She glanced at the screen and immediately disappeared into the room. The wind pressure brought by her in and out blew up all the papers on the table in the room.

When Steve and others rushed into the room, they saw Nebula standing on the street, holding a man in black in one hand and making a gesture of completion towards the camera.

"Well, it's really efficient!" Steve sighed, "It looks like we don't need to do anything, everything is solved. Just hand the criminals over to the local police. We don't have the power to enforce the law here."

"Captain, this matter is not that simple." Natasha reminded, "The one that Xingyun is holding may be a super criminal. The local police station should not be able to detain him."

"Then what should we do? SHIELD has been disbanded long ago, and now even the United States is gone. Who should we hand him over to?" Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Let's interrogate him first. If his crime is not serious, we can just criticize and educate him and let him go. Or we can consider whether to recruit him. We are in need of manpower right now."

"Well, let's go check on the victims who were being hunted down first. I hope they're okay."

Things are never as perfect as one wishes. When Steve and others arrived, they found that the man who was caught first was already dead. The man and woman who broke into someone else's house were also seriously injured, but were rescued by Nebula.

The only problem was that one of the children living in the house was unlucky enough to be hit and killed on the spot. Even Nebula's cell recombination could not save him.

As soon as Steve arrived, before he could even speak, the woman among the two people who were rescued shouted in surprise:
"Steve Rogers!"

"Captain America!"

"Are you here to save us?"

"I'm a fan of yours. It's so exciting that I can see you here!"

"Oh my god! You're my hero!"

She rushed over excitedly, opened her arms and hugged Steve, and kissed him on the face.

"Hey, lady, calm down!" Steve raised his shield awkwardly to block her kiss, but he didn't dare to push her away, for fear of hurting her by using too much force.

"I need to know who the bad guy is who is chasing you? This will determine how we treat him. Please cooperate with my companion's questioning, okay?"

Speaking of the pursuer, the excited woman immediately calmed down. She pointed at the man in black who was being held by Nebula with an angry face and cursed: "That's a scum, a beast, a beast..." She cursed continuously for several minutes until Steve persuaded her many times. "That guy is not a human, he is a vampire!"

"Vampire?" Steve and others were stunned. They looked carefully at the guy in Nebula's hand and saw that he was pale and bloodless.

Nebula also reached out and pulled his lips apart, revealing obvious vampire fangs inside.

Although there are dark creatures like werewolves and vampires in another universe, Steve and others have never seen them. Unexpectedly, they see them in this universe.

Steve carefully asked the woman some questions, and his female fan answered all of his questions without hiding anything, and soon everyone figured out the whole story.

The woman's name was Nina, and her companion was called Hanks. In addition to the companion who just died, a total of eight people in two cars died on the road.

They come from the neighboring Czech Republic, which is a lair of vampires.

Originally, superheroes and super criminals were in check and balance with each other, and neither side could do anything to the other. But ever since Magneto wreaked havoc in Europe and wiped out most of the powerful superhero teams, Europe began to fall into chaos.

When powerful superheroes died in large numbers and the strength of both sides declined, various dark creatures and super criminals ushered in their spring.

Later, magnetic field warriors appeared in large numbers, filling the position of superheroes to some extent, and allowing the power of both sides to form a new balance again.

But the good times did not last long. With the proliferation of strong magnetic armor, magnetic field warriors could use their strong magnetic armor to crush a large number of dark creatures even if the magnetic field only rotated by one level.

The balance of power was once again unbalanced.

In order to survive, the dark creatures became dogs for the powerful and capitalists in European countries at that time.

Of course, the big shots would be happy to control the magnetic field warriors with one hand and the dark world with the other, bringing the whole of Europe under their control during the day and at night.

But joy turns to sorrow. When the magnetic field warriors were forcibly taken away by the New World Empire, the powerful people, as ordinary people, had no means to restrain the dark creatures at all. The trend of the master being weak and the ministers being strong was obvious. There was no doubt that the dark creatures began to devour their master.

The European dignitaries who possess power and wealth are like fat meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at will!

Except for some clever ones who saw the danger and fled to other countries in advance and thus escaped the disaster, the rest of the dignitaries were quickly devoured by the dark creatures.

Now the whole of Europe has become the base camp of dark creatures. Various dark creatures have divided their own territories according to the size of their power and started to rule over humans openly.

The Czech Republic is the land of Dracula.

In the Czech Republic, Dracula has a large number of descendants who rule the entire country and control the military, economy, food, energy, media... and all industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

Although the number of ordinary humans in the country is still far greater than that of vampires, the humans with many differences are like a pile of scattered sand and are completely unable to fight against the vampires. Anyone who tries to lead and instigate others to fight against the vampires will be targeted and beheaded by the vampires. Without superheroes, ordinary humans are still no match for the vampires even if they have hot weapons.

Vampires will also divide humans. Some of the humans who obey the vampires will be given the First Embrace by them and become vampires, and then they will in turn exploit humans even more severely.

In the eyes of vampires, humans are no different from livestock. They raise ordinary humans like pigs and sheep, and when they want to drink blood, they grab them and drink fresh blood. If someone dares to resist, they will be caught, drained of all blood and killed. There are even many vampires who trade humans like livestock.

But vampires are very picky about their diet. When they had no choice in the past, they would even drink expired blood from the hospital. But now, the whole country belongs to them, so of course they have to drink the freshest blood that tastes the best.

Most people are not qualified to be blood slaves on the vampire's menu. Only those young, healthy, beautiful, and even virgin girls are the favorites of vampires. Because of this, those old, ugly, and sub-healthy workers are relatively safer. Therefore, many people accept the rule of vampires and live numbly in the Czech Republic. Even if they know that danger may fall on them one day, they still turn a blind eye to the guillotine hanging over their heads.

However, not everyone is willing to live in such a muddle. Some humans do not want to be kept as animals and resist this rule in different ways. They form resistance groups, escape from the breeding base or assassinate vampires. However, these resistance actions have not achieved any significant results, and vampires still control the entire Czech Republic.

Nina and others could not bear the oppression and did not want to live in fear. They were afraid that they would accidentally provoke vampires and be killed like an ant.

She and a group of friends around her escaped together by car early this morning after careful preparation for a long time.

Vampires cannot move during the day, so as long as they escape from the Czech Republic before dark, they will be free.

However, they encountered a traveling werewolf on the way. After paying a huge price, they barely managed to kill the werewolf, but this also delayed their journey. When it got dark, the vampire pursuers found their tracks and attacked them many times by flying kites, killing many of their companions.

Fortunately, Nina and her group finally made it here, and were rescued by Xingyun in time. If Xingyun had arrived a little later, Nina and her group would have been wiped out.

After listening to Nina's story, the Avengers looked at each other.

"I was saying that I always felt like something was wrong with Sokovia, but I couldn't remember what the problem was. So this is what's going on!" Clint suddenly realized.

"Yes, it's so peaceful here!" Natasha nodded and said, "There are absolutely no dark creatures in Sokovia. It's just a normal small city!"

"This is so abnormal! All of Europe is in chaos, but here it's quiet and peaceful, everything is as it was before. This doesn't make sense!"

Everyone had seen information about the situation in Europe on the Internet, but seeing information and experiencing it in person were two completely different concepts, and the difference was huge. So when everyone arrived in Sokovia and saw a place that completely matched everyone's expectations of this small country, they didn't realize what problems there were.

But when someone from outside rushed in and brought in disharmonious elements, everyone was immediately reminded of the unreasonable aspects of this small city.

"This must be the effect of the Reality Stone. In other words, the Reality Stone rewrote this place?"

"Any Infinity Stone requires energy to activate, and the most commonly used energy for Infinity Stones is magic!"

"Who do you think of when you talk about this?"

Everyone said in unison: "Wanda!"
