The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 160 Methods to Prevent Du Mu from Stealing the Car
Strucker has now become a loyal follower of the Goat.

This means that the entire Hydra network in Europe has fallen under Du Mu's control.

Without hesitation, Du Mu ordered Strucker to begin consolidating his Hydra forces, allowing Hydra members to join Sokovia as legal citizens and serve him.

Despite Hydra's infamous reputation, it must be admitted that its members are all highly capable.

Du Mu had observed S.H.I.E.L.D. for a period of time and found that the agents who worked diligently were almost all Hydra spies who voluntarily worked overtime every day and never took a break.

In contrast, real S.H.I.E.L.D. agents tend to be somewhat lax, with some even playing video games on the Helicarrier.

If it weren't for the tireless efforts of these Hydra spies, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. would probably have fallen apart.

Which company boss wouldn't want such hardworking, selfless, and even salary-free employees?

Du Mu didn't care about their status.

It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!

Hydra has a wealth of talent, covering almost every industry, which perfectly fills the talent gap in Sokovia across various sectors, making things much easier for Zemo, who was in charge of the state affairs.

But to be honest, the amount of Hydra in Sokovia right now is just too high.

This place is practically becoming a hydra kingdom!

Zemo was deeply worried about this.

If other countries found out, Sokovia would probably be subjected to a massive mushroom planting campaign.

Du Mu said his worries were completely unnecessary. Even S.H.I.E.L.D., a global intelligence organization, was infiltrated by Hydra so thoroughly that no one noticed. How much less would a small country like theirs be ignored?

Speaking of small countries, Du Mu suddenly remembered the information Peter B had revealed to him, which included a country with a highly developed level of technology.

He immediately ordered people to search for information, and sure enough, they found a country called Wakanda in East Africa.

Public information shows that Wakanda is a poor and backward agricultural country with a very low international profile.

Aside from pleading and whining at international conferences every year, Wakanda almost never appears in the public eye and has repeatedly refused all outside aid, making it an extremely closed country.

However, according to Peter B, all of this was actually an elaborate disguise by Wakanda.

In reality, Wakanda's technological level far exceeds what the outside world imagines, even surpassing technological powerhouses like the United States by decades, which sounds as absurd as the self-delusion of Black people.

This is all because they control an extremely rare special metal, which is also one of the main raw materials for Captain America's shield: vibranium!
Vibranium possesses incredible hardness and the ability to absorb all kinds of energy, making it almost entirely unrestrained by conventional physical laws.

It is said that a long, long time ago, a meteorite containing high-purity vibranium struck central Africa, bringing unparalleled treasures to this land.

The early inhabitants of Wakanda were the first to discover this special metal, and began to mine it and apply it to various fields, especially in technology.

From then on, Wakanda's technology tree climbed higher and higher, and it just wouldn't stop!

Similar to Sokovia, Wakanda also employs a monarchy, with a single king ruling the entire country. Successive kings have been given the title of Black Panther.

A certain king, well aware of the preciousness and strategic value of vibranium, chose to close the country off from the world in order to avoid attracting the covetous eyes of other countries, especially the ubiquitous mold of the United States. He used advanced technology to completely conceal the true situation within the country.

It gives off a strong sense of a master strategist pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

It's impossible to say that Du Mu wasn't interested in vibranium.

He would naturally not let go of such a precious and special material easily.

This thing is destined for me!

Du Mu immediately ordered Wakanda to be listed as a top priority target, and instructed Hydra's intelligence department to conduct a comprehensive investigation into it.

A few days later, Du Mu arrived at the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters as usual and handed over the mission items to Hill.

[Mission 'Gather Intelligence' Completed]

[Rewards: 500 experience points, 10 S.H.I.E.L.D. reputation, and a 'Mana Potion']

[Your S.H.I.E.L.D. reputation has reached its limit. You can now receive an identity advancement quest from NPC Maria Hill.]

As soon as the system notification sounded, Hill, who was standing in front of Du Mu, called out to him.

"Agent Du Mu, please wait a moment."

Hill took out a folder marked "Confidential" and handed it over with a serious expression.

"There is a special mission here, and I think you are the most suitable candidate. After the mission is completed, I will apply for your promotion to Level 8 Agent. I believe you are capable enough to handle it."

[NPC Maria Hill issues you a quest to advance your status]

[Mission: The Vampires in the Shadows]

Objective: Investigate the recently active vampire organization, ascertain its true purpose, and prevent any potential threats.

[Reward: Level 8 S.H.I.E.L.D. (Hydra) Agent Authorization]

vampire?
Du Mu raised an eyebrow slightly. Vampires were old acquaintances of his; he had once slaughtered all the vampires in New York and was known as the Vampire Slayer.

Unexpectedly, this promotion mission has once again become related to these vampires.

He checked the game system's instructions; the destination was Los Angeles, and he needed to drive there.

Without wasting any time, Du Mu went straight to the parking lot outside the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building, randomly picked a car, opened the door, bent down and pulled out the wiring harness under the steering wheel, skillfully wired it and started the engine.

The engine started immediately, and Du Mu naturally sat in the driver's seat. He instinctively reached out with both hands, but unexpectedly grabbed nothing.

He paused for a second, then looked down to confirm carefully.

The dashboard and joysticks are all there, but the most crucial control component is nowhere to be found.

"Wait, where's the steering wheel?"

Du Mu's lips twitched. Without a steering wheel, even an experienced driver like him couldn't drive.

He got out of the car somewhat speechlessly and walked to another car, only to find that the other car also had only a smooth dashboard and the steering wheel was empty.

Du Mu: "."

Unconvinced, he checked five or six cars in the parking lot.

Without exception, the steering wheels of all the vehicles had mysteriously disappeared!
Because Du Mu stole vehicles so many times, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents couldn't find their cars every time they went on a mission, which made them extremely resentful.

They tried all sorts of advanced anti-theft systems, but they were all useless against Du Mu. A master key could easily open it, and pulling the wires to start a fire was just a formality.

Finally, some genius came up with this simple and crude solution: they simply removed the car's steering wheel and used it as a key.

In that case, even if Du Mu stole it, he wouldn't be able to drive the car.

"Okay, okay, let's play like this, right?"

Du Mu was both amused and annoyed.

Do you think I, the Fourth Calamity, can be stumped by a bunch of NPCs?
So he ran out onto the street, found a car, opened the door, pulled out the steering wheel, and then went back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. parking lot to put it in the car.

The engine started smoothly, and Du Mu stepped on the gas, and the vehicle sped away.

Almost simultaneously, a citizen who had just bought coffee returned to the street and saw his car door wide open, his heart sinking.

He hurriedly checked and found that the valuables inside the car were intact and the gas tank was still full.

The steering wheel is missing!

"Fuck! Which bastard stole the steering wheel?!"

Following the game system's instructions, Du Mu took advantage of the darkness and drove to a factory a hundred meters away.

He stepped out of the car, his gaze sweeping across the factory gate, where several security guards in black uniforms were patrolling. However, the game panel that appeared in his field of vision indicated that these security guards were vampires.

Just as Du Mu was about to take action, he suddenly heard a familiar voice beside him.

"Du Mu?"

"Who's speaking! Show yourself if you dare!"

Du Mu immediately widened his eyes in alarm and quickly scanned his surroundings.

Blade: "."

This time I stood right under a streetlamp, that's going too far!
Du Mu chuckled when he saw Daofeng's stiff, dark face: "Just kidding, Daofeng. Long time no see. How have you been lately?"

"good."

Blade sighed: "It's a pity that I still haven't been able to find my mother's whereabouts, and I don't know where she went."

Du Mu: "."

Based on the timeline, your mother might be in someone else's womb.

Du Mu quickly changed the subject: "By the way, what are you doing here?"

In fact, he had already roughly guessed in his heart what other reason Blade could have for appearing here; it must be because of the vampires.

Blade's daily routine consists of only three things.

Kill vampires, kill vampires, and kill vampires again!
Unless vampires are completely eradicated, the Blade series will probably never end.

As expected, Blade said in a deep voice, "I came here to destroy this blood factory."

"According to my investigation, a vampire faction has established multiple such factories across the United States, secretly capturing a large number of humans, continuously extracting their blood to make blood bags for storage, and then selling them to other vampires for money."

"Good heavens, these vampires have even started making pre-cooked meals."

Du Mu muttered a complaint, then said to Dao Feng, "Perfect timing, my target this time is also a vampire, how about we team up again?"

"Right on my mind."

Blade readily agreed.

With a strong teammate like Du Mu to help him, he can save himself a lot of trouble.

Most importantly, he can save a lot of money on silver bullets, which is the best of both worlds.

NPC Eric Brooks has joined your party.

The Black and White Duo is back in action!

Black & White - Double Kill!

Just as Daofeng was about to set off, Du Mu suddenly reached out and stopped him.

"Wait, I almost forgot about this."

Du Mu took out a pair of sunglasses from the game inventory and put them on. Blade was wearing sunglasses to look cool late at night, so Du Mu naturally couldn't be left behind.

"Alright, we can set off now."

Du Mu waved his hand, and the two of them walked in sync towards the factory gate.

In the silent slow motion, their clothes fluttered in the night wind, and the sunglasses on their faces accentuated their cool aura.

Du Mu: (■_■)
Blade: (■_■)
The vampire guards at the entrance were stunned by the sight of the two making their entrance.

They're so pretentious. I really want to beat them up, don't you think?
One of the vampire guards, regaining his senses, shouted, "Who are you here for?"

boom!
Gunshots rang out suddenly, and the bullet pierced the vampire guard's forehead with pinpoint accuracy.

Du Mu did not use silver bullets; he simply attached energy to the bullets.

However, the vampire guard who was shot didn't even have time to scream before he was quickly turned to ashes in the flames.

Clearly, these energy bullets are exceptionally effective at killing vampires.

After all, it's energy of the light attribute, so it's normal for it to have a restraining effect on dark creatures like vampires.

boom! boom! boom!
Several gunshots rang out in succession, and several more vampire guards who had just reacted and tried to pounce were instantly blown to the head.

The Blade Runner on the other side was also busy.

He drew his specially made silver longsword, and with a flash of cold light, several vampire heads rolled to the ground, their bodies turning to ashes in convulsions.

Without pausing, the two kicked open the heavy factory door and swaggered into the factory.

The vampires inside the factory had clearly been alerted long ago.

Dense footsteps came from all directions, and a large number of vampire guards armed with automatic rifles rushed towards the two of them, pulling the triggers without hesitation!

Ta-ta-ta-ta-!
Gunfire erupted, and golden bullets rained down!

Du Mu showed no intention of dodging. His body was flashing with white light, and under the protection of his protective technique, all the bullets were intercepted without even touching his clothes.

He calmly raised his gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger amidst the hail of bullets.

boom! boom! boom! boom--!
Each bullet imbued with the energy of light that leaves the chamber can end the life of a vampire.

His steps were steady, as if he were strolling in a courtyard, with only the muzzle of his gun continuously spitting deadly flames.

Seeing this, the remaining vampires were devastated.

"This...this is a monster!!"

"You vampires have the nerve to call others monsters?"

Du Mu was somewhat speechless.

But the vampires ignored what he said, dropping their weapons and frantically trying to escape.

Blade, of course, wouldn't let them go. Grasping his silver longsword, he charged forward and easily dispatched these vampires who had lost their will to fight.

After dealing with the vampires, Blade turned to look at Du Mu, his tone surprised.

"What ability did you just have?"

Blade remembered that Du Mu wasn't this powerful the last time they met.

How long has it been? The other party has actually evolved into a ruthless person who is not afraid of bullets!

Du Mu didn't explain, but smiled and said, "Look at the light on my body, what kind of ability do you think this is?"

Blade frowned in thought: "This light seems to have a restraining effect on vampires. Could it be holy light?"

Du Mu nodded: "You have a good eye. That's right, this is the Holy Light!"

Blade was taken aback: "Then who are you?"

"Since you've figured it out, I won't hide it from you anymore. Actually, I'm an exorcism squad sent by the church."

Du Mu held up the two golden Desert Eagles, his expression solemn.

Blade: "."

No, I didn't see it at all!
