The extraordinary life of a certain American comic.

Chapter 151 The unknown loss of blood pool energy (55 please order the whole thing!)

Blade is serious about hunting vampires.

And very persistent too.

So after receiving Locke's call yesterday, he came to the bureau to find Locke as soon as possible, and then without waiting for Locke to finish speaking, he gladly accepted Locke's invitation.

But the number of vampires is huge.

And there is only one Blade.

fortunately!

Locke has also been promoted now.

Again.

His system was very generous when it came to collecting extraordinary points.

The ones he kills himself count, and at the same time, the extraordinary creatures killed by his friends, allies who cooperate with him, and even his subordinates can all count towards his extraordinary points.

In a word.

After he became the Deputy Director of Operations in New York State, all the supernatural creatures killed by sentinels across the state would eventually be converted into supernatural points and aggregated to him.

But the main business of the Sentinelese is mutants at present. After the Sentinelese have been continuously exploiting the mutants for so many years, they have already mastered the hidden skills and are very slippery and difficult to catch.

So if we can’t cut costs, the only option is to increase revenue.

Natasha reacted to Locke's introduction to Blade's new position.

"He is the vice-captain, who is the captain?"

"Of course it's me."

Locke looked at Natasha with a smile.

Only as the captain of this operation can he convert the vampires killed by any team member in this operation into extraordinary points that only he can obtain.

"I am fighting this battle to tell the extraordinary world clearly that you are not Nick Fury, and New York State has my protection. In front of New York, extraordinary people are prohibited from entering!"

Locke then saw Commander Victoria Hand and extended an invitation: "Are you interested in joining, Victoria?"

Victoria was thrilled.

She really wanted to agree.

but……

She opened her mouth.

"Locke, you know I can't make the decision on this matter."

"You can call Chief Maria Hill now."

"..."

Commander Victoria Hand looked at Locke who was looking at him with a smile, opened her mouth again, then sighed, took out the phone from her arms, and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

Locke smiled slightly and said to Blade next to him, "Please sit down."

He waited until Blade sat down on the sofa before sitting back in his seat.

The moment Locke sat down, Natasha moved closer to Locke, and snatched the bourbon from Locke's hand while Locke didn't react, then lowered her eyes and sniffed the special bourbon in the glass.

next second.

A strange expression appeared in Natasha's eyes. She looked up at Locke, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Because she smelled blood in this particular bourbon.

This is not dragon fruit bourbon, but bloody bourbon.

Natasha turned her head to look at Blade, who was sitting opposite her with an impeccable posture. Then she whispered to Locke with a frightened look on her face, "You... were transformed?"

Well known.

There is only one creature that needs to drink blood.

vampire.

If that's the case, then it would explain everything very well.

Locke was not uninjured in the Vampire Building, but was transformed into a vampire. That is why Locke hates vampires so much and wants to kill them all.

Natasha's mind was spinning wildly.

Locke smiled when he heard this, then grabbed Natasha's right hand, stuffed it directly into his clothes and placed it on his chest.

Natasha was slightly startled.

"What are you doing?"

"Do you hear my heartbeat?"

"..."

Natasha was stunned again, then reacted.

Well known.

A vampire is a dead but still alive corpse, and a corpse has no heartbeat.

But she could feel through her right hand the powerful heartbeat in Locke's chest, like a water pump.

So Locke is not a vampire.

Natasha finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she was lost again.

She looked at the bloody bourbon in Locke's hand and frowned: "If you are not, then why are you drinking this?"

Locke shrugged.

"Experience."

"Experience?"

"Blade likes to drink this stuff, I want to try it too, what's so good about it."

"This……"

Natasha was speechless when she heard Locke's answer, and her eyebrows jumped: "What's the point of trying this?"

Locke smiled and replied: "At least this thing is not addictive, right?"

Natasha opened her mouth, speechless.

Locke looked at Natasha's expression and smiled.

He didn't actually tell Natasha the truth.

That is……

Locke didn't drink the bloody bourbon out of curiosity, but because he had to.

His pool of blood was drying up.

This abnormality started to appear last night. He could feel that the energy in his blood pool was decreasing at a slow speed that was invisible to the naked eye but could be felt.

In just one night, his blood pool dropped by one-fifth.

But he was not hurt.

After trying it out, Locke discovered that the blood wave could relieve the situation and replenish the blood pool. He heaved a sigh of relief and began to explore the cause of this situation.

But until now, Locke was confused.

He was not injured, and his vampire ability had eliminated all side effects, so this should not be his own fault.

But external reasons?
It had only been one night since this happened, and he couldn't think of any external reason that could explain why the energy in his blood pool was slowly draining away.

The only thing that was certain at the moment was that he could replenish the lost blood pool energy in time by drinking the blood-colored drink.

He was the operations director of the Sentinel Special Service, and it was quite simple for him to ask the blood station for some blood drink for experiments.

As for what experiment?
Sorry.

This is confidential!

Natasha seemed to want to say something, but at this time, Commander Victoria Hand, who had walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to talk to Maria Hill on the phone, had returned.

She ignored the scene of Natasha putting her hand into Locke's clothes, and instead sat down again and looked at Locke.

"Locke, I need to confirm three things."

"Of course, please speak."

"In this operation, SHIELD and Sentinel are equal."

"of course."

“Intelligence is fully shared.”

"I have asked Debbie to build an information sharing platform for both parties for this operation."

Locke smiled at Commander Victoria Hand and said, "For this operation in New York State, all information and intelligence will be fully shared by both parties."

Cooperation is all about win-win.

Again.

All he cared about was the massive amount of extraordinary points that New York State had now, and as for the sharing of intelligence and information on vampires, that was all he shared.

Anyway, Nick Fury is no longer the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Maria Hill has a good relationship with him. He even has connections with Hydra, which is parasitic in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Therefore, he really didn't mind sharing this information with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Commander Hand nodded upon hearing this.

"One last thing."

"Please say."

"Our people must fully participate in this operation."

"of course."

Locke smiled at Commander Hand and said, "Commander Hand can be the captain of this operation like me. SHIELD will send a vice-captain to work with Blade. Who will SHIELD send? Hawkeye?"

Commander Hand smiled.

"Phil Coulson and Clinton Barton were sent overseas for further studies by Director Hill."

"Oh."

Locke raised an eyebrow.

He was no exception to this result.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

But Hill was merciful.

Because it would be fine if Nick Fury was really dead, but if Nick Fury faked his death, once he got in touch with Coulson again, Coulson would definitely continue to be loyal to Nick Fury.

As for Hawkeye, he was not so sure.

but……

This has nothing to do with him.

"Who is SHIELD going to send then?"

"Natasha Romanoff."

"Ok?"

"I?"

Locke subconsciously looked at Natasha beside him.

Natasha was also slightly stunned, and looked at Commander Victoria Hand with some surprise.

It's not like she hadn't thought that this person might be herself.

But Natasha found that unlikely.

After all, her affair with Locke was public knowledge, and letting her, who had an affair with Locke, serve as deputy captain of the joint operation was not a good choice at all.

Even if Hill and Hand believed in her very much, it wouldn't work.

Because this is official business.

Commander Hand's suspicion and surprise about Natasha were understandable.

Because she and Hill thought so at the beginning.

It's not that the two of them don't trust Natasha, official business needs to be handled in an official manner.

Well known.

The principle of avoidance.

Commander Hand was thinking of Sharon Carter at first. Now that Nick Fury is gone, Sharon can go to SHIELD in Washington as soon as possible.

But this requires seniority and merit to be reasonably promoted to the SHIELD headquarters in Washington.

Hill thought so at first, but later gave up.

the reason is simple.

Sharon now has a more important mission.

and so……

Commander Hand looked at Natasha, who was also curious about this decision, and sighed.

"We have no choice but to choose you now."

"……All right."

Natasha blinked, thought about the current situation of SHIELD, which already had a shortage of high-end combat power, nodded, and quickly got into the state.

She stood up and walked towards Blade, who was sitting opposite her without saying a word and without smiling, and extended her right hand.

"It's been a pleasure working with you, Eric."

"Pleasant to work with."

Blade glanced at Natasha, and thought of the scene where Natasha had also hunted vampires. He grinned, stretched out his hand and shook it: "Happy cooperation."

He is a very simple man.

Whoever kills a vampire is his friend.

Natasha then turned around with a smile, looked at Locke and extended her right hand.

"Captain Underwood, it's been a pleasure working with you."

"Haha, happy to cooperate."

Locke smiled and shook hands with Natasha.

Commander Victoria Hand on the side looked at Locke.

"So, when does the action begin?"

"Now!"

"..."
