Chapter 60: The Reward
The "Enforcers" faced a different situation, their opponents were mainly gangsters and gangster mercenaries, and there was occasionally a mutant with strange abilities, or mutants or something, and they did not need heavy armor like the "Labyrinth Templars".
The armor of the "Knight" actually exists as a test model, and these people only dispatch one or two units each time, and they also participate in such big scenes as smashing illegal drug factories and encircling large transactions, but the "law enforcers" are more focused on tracking and sabotaging strongholds, killing some small leaders in key positions, and not using so much firepower.
This time he didn't take advantage of the matter of chasing the Reaper, Blade and the Punisher were in a bad mood, both of them were arrogant, although this matter was not a shame, after all, it was not something worth boasting about, so now they are putting pressure on the head of the weapons research and development department - this unlucky guy is naturally Buffyment, the Horned Monarch, so he will not hand over such an important department to others.
After hiding in the Night God Palace by the river for a few days, Buffyment had no choice but to return to Oranides, and obediently sat in front of the office looking at the report handed by the female assistant Macquarie, which recorded in detail the modification design of the personal armed against vampires, but unfortunately the effect was not very good.
"Sometimes I don't know if these people are smart or stupid, and I will fight these back and redo them, these stupid people, the personal armament is full cover armor, yes, but no one says that we only make full cover armor, why only focus on the armor?
Isn't it possible to load attachments on a combat suit? It's not difficult to just make a powered exoskeleton.
If it weren't for the heavy weapons, there would be no need for personal armament to be so cumbersome, and it wouldn't be for people to see those missiles and machine guns, wouldn't it be possible to just take them out and plug them in?"
Buffett was quite annoyed and closed the folder heavily, and slapped it hard a few times.
The current Oranides research department is facing a very embarrassing problem, they lack a project leader, they have enough basic researchers, and even have a surplus, but these people are a little bit worse in innovation, and it is enough to develop derivatives on a research, but if you want them to make something new, it is like forcing a sow to go up a tree.
The Parker company, which has Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, has designed several household appliances that are quite popular in the market, and this is still a matter of course for the two of them, after all, their main business is bioengineering, and they are still learning, and these gadgets are just looking for profit points to maintain the company.
The Fantastic Four's space labs have always been very successful, they just didn't have a qualified operator before, so the technology didn't bring enough income - even these few people didn't know what technology on the market could bring income, and now they have the support of mysterious investors, and they are like turning serfs and singing, and they have reached the sky in one step.
Without asking, as soon as he looked at the winged black hawk vector illustration, Buffett knew that the so-called investor must be the ubiquitous S.H.I.E.L.D.
Fortunately, the foundation has been laid, and all that remains is the in-depth development and upgrading of the product, which is the strength of these people, so the development is very good, much better than expected.
Oranides really has its own research team when Dr. Connors and Zhao Helen joined, and the XXG developed by Zhan Kailin was full of loopholes in the eyes of Dr. Connors, not only was it pushed down and redone, although the new product is still called XXG-1, the effect is more than doubled, and even the production cost has decreased.
In the end, Zhan Kailin also re-studied under Dr. Connors, and in the face of her grades, Dr. Connors expressed doubts about the research and development methods of XXG medicine, and after reading the research and development records, he was silent for a long time and spit out the word "lucky", of course, Buffett knew very well that this was the "will of the world" on Zhan Kailin's body to hang on the blade.
The progress of the research department is not so fast, but the matter of the reapers is imminent, and the "blood collection bag" and the hunter team led by old Whistler jointly made a rough statistics, and the reapers have expanded from about 100 to 1,000 people, and there are even cases where vampires actively pursue infection mutations.
This data surprised Buffyment, he never thought that there were so many vampires in New Yorktown, and it was a serious incident to have dozens of people making trouble, no wonder the blood collection bag said that this was a racial crisis.
The slaughter of New York City in a matter of hours by thousands of vampires is alarmist if they are unleashed, but a few days is definitely enough, not counting the panic caused by their public presence - and of course, the government's response is not counted.
The Punisher had brought back news from his friends, and the results were not very promising, and the Poison Blood Clan and the Children of Plague were fighting on John Bull's territory, supposedly for some "perfect blood" that supposedly could turn a person into a perfect vampire-werewolf combination with no side effects.
Vampire wolves, wolf bats, who knows what the hell it could be.
The Government is closely monitoring developments, and some of the people on both sides who are reluctant to join the fighting are trying to find a way to get out of that island, and the North American Eagle is their first target, so there is a lot of pressure on border control.
In other words, they don't have the time and energy to pay attention to the changes in power in New York City, and even if they do, I'm afraid it will have to wait until a few months later, when the daylily will not only be cold, but will be able to harvest the second crop.
However, they are not without help, given that the reapersare are poor ghosts who have no money (rich vampires buy much better blood than the food they find on the street, so they don't feel uncomfortable going out to find it), the government, through some intermediaries, has issued a reward for the reapers, which is very considerable, especially for some special parts, which can be called high-priced purchases.
In addition to the traditional teeth, blood, skin, and eyes, these special parts also add a kind of organ unique to the reaper, the tentacle needle-like mouthparts that grow in the palm of the hand.
That's right, these reapers, not just sucking blood with their teeth, they have strange long whiskers growing on their palms, and as for the number of them on one hand, ranging from dozens to few, these long whiskers are sharp enough to easily pierce buffalo hides.
Once these long whiskers penetrate the body, they will suck blood out with great pleasure and are much more efficient than teeth, sucking an adult dry almost in the blink of an eye.
However, after they grow this strange mouthpart, they become very recognizable, and the change in appearance is too obvious.
Vampires are very normal and look almost the same, nothing more than when they are not full of blood, their faces are a little paler, but they are similar to the faces of ordinary people when they don't sleep well.
But the reapers, first of all, their hair will fall out, what hair, eyebrows, armpit hair, unspeakable hair, etc., all fall out, and there is not a single one left, ordinary vampires have hair, and they are generally well cared for.
The second is that the face will turn into a strange blue-white, which looks like a lime-pickled green radish, not only is it not bloody, but it also looks like it is about to fall off at any time, even the lips are it, and it looks extremely disgusting.
Finally, there are the ears, which become pointy and a bit like a canine's standing ear, but the size doesn't change – a dog lover like Jessica, of course, who vehemently denies this, believing that they are bat ears because they don't have hair.
Normal vampires have two forms, but there is not much difference between these two forms, one is an ordinary human form, and the other is a vampire form, in fact, it is just that the blood-sucking teeth can shrink freely, grow out when used, and put away when not in use.
The Reaper will always have the form of a blue-white pine egg, and its eyes will always be red as if they are suffering from severe blepharitis.
These distinct features are inconvenient for the harvesters, but even more so for the hunters.
Because they are easy to identify, these harvesters are in groups when they are resting, with large groups of hundreds, and small groups of dozens, which makes it difficult for hunters who have always been loners to attack them.
