Chapter Fifty-Nine: Blood Packets and Reapers
"Jenny (Jenny's nickname) is not afraid of vampires, old ghost, your store is good, shouldn't you find a proprietor. ”
Hearing that his adoptive father had no opinion on his lover, Blade's hand immediately stabilized, and after a few strokes, I was unfamiliar with the lying function gun assembly, and the suspicious flush on his face disappeared, which in turn made fun of old Whistler.
This is a typical North American Hawk-style single parent-son relationship, they are like old friends, often making innocuous little jokes.
Old Whistler just glared, and muttered a little weakly, "You don't have to worry about this kind of idle business, stinky boy kill your vampire" and asked Buffyment to explain the matter of the Poison Blood Clan in detail, this performance made Blade's eyes light up, could it be that this old guy's spring is also here - why do you say it?
He immediately raised his attention to this matter, but he was not busy at first, as long as he went to the old man's shop a few more times in the future, he would find out sooner or later.
After listening to Buffyment's description of the Poison Blood Clan, old Whistler lowered his head and thought for a while, thumped his lame leg, and opened his mouth with some hesitation.
"The situation has been a little different recently, in fact, I have encountered some problems this time.
The vampires of New York sent emissaries to make peace with the hunters, and according to them, a group of vampires had mutated and attacked not only humans but also vampires.
They have investigated, and it seems that it is because of a certain virus, which has caused some vampires to change, not only the amount of food has increased greatly, but the strength has also increased rapidly.
These new breeds, which call themselves 'harvesters' and refer to the original vampires as 'blood collection bags', are now grabbing territory, but the blood collection bags are falling behind and are said to have suffered heavy losses. ”
"I haven't encountered anything like this, although there has been less movement lately, it is because the vampires are less active, they seem to be shrinking their power, and many vampires are attacking those werewolves, and one brother lost his leg yesterday. ”
That's right, during this time, Blade and his "bloodthirsty fangs" were most of their energy involved by werewolves, and they relaxed their suppression of the local vampires, and the attackers on the werewolves were all outsiders, so they didn't feel the change in the local race.
"We've got to get to the source, these reapers—what the hell are they, and the blood collection kits, their boss is an illiterate person on the streets—to find out what they're mutating for, if it's the people of the Poison Blood Clan who are disguised for it.
If it's just a disguise, it's easy to do, but if the poisonous blood and the original blood are mixed to mutate, it's a big problem. ”
Buffyment is tired of this kind of clan war, and he is not a good person on that side, but now he has to cooperate with one of them, and I hope that he can reach an agreement with these "blood collection kits" of the original blood.
These vampires used to keep to themselves, but Deacon squeezed all the elders who controlled the situation into juice in order to ascend to power, and so far these people have not elected a proper council - according to vampire tradition, they must have at least seven people to serve as councillors and elect a speaker.
This is not only the distribution of power within the vampires, but also the role of secular power.
Once a deal is reached with humans, these vampires will have to buy blood from professional institutions, and they will not have enough worldly power to support enough subordinates.
This is the internal affairs of the vampires, and Buffyment doesn't want to get involved, but the elder Whistler said that the vampires sent messengers, which is really surprising.
"That's right, a messenger is a beautiful girl named Nissa, the daughter of one of the thirteen elders who were juiced by Deacon, and she is not a small celebrity.
I heard that they organized an assassination team, the target was Eric, Nissa was the captain, and there were a few hard stubbles under him. ”
Old Whistler, with his back to the blade and Oranides in supply, has a lot of reputation among hunters, so he can get a lot of information, and when it comes to vampires, Oranides is probably not as well-informed as this old man.
"So they want to use this to negotiate terms with us? It's not a smart move, for us, as long as it's a vampire, it's all in the fight, whether it's a blood collection bag or a reaper, either faction wants to suck human blood anyway. ”
"Not really, they want us to organize a team to take out the leader of the Reapers, and things will be much easier without a leader. ”
"They didn't figure it out at all, it's useless to kill a leader, find him, we don't need their help at all, Volibel can plow the court and sweep the cave alone, and he's forming the 'Winter Cold' guard, we don't even need to go out at the leader level. ”
The so-called boss level, in fact, is the internal name of Oranides, like Daredevil and Red Flash, who are only good at individual combat and squad combat, is the elite level, like the punisher, Blade, who can command multiple squads, and can conduct regional operations to a certain extent, is the leader level.
And someone like Leorik who can command a large team of more than 1,000 people to conduct a large-scale war is at the corps level.
As for people like Buffyment and Volibel, who only rely on their personal bravery to charge on the battlefield, they are called heroes, and similarly, people like sirens who have no achievements in command and personal combat power, but who have expertise in intelligence analysis and advice, also have a separate title: strategists.
And Buffyment's statement that Volibel alone can handle the vampire leader is also completely certain.
With so much experience in his long time with vampires, and with the guidance of old seniority like Whistler Sr. and Blade, a mutated vampire leader is really not a problem - he doesn't even have a title, and he gathers a bunch of outlaws to think that he is really a high-level bloodline?
However, the North American Eagle has been established for a short time, and they don't know much about these gods, gods, ghosts, and ghosts, and they probably can't figure out the classification and level of the blood clan, which is more than 10,000 years of red tape.
The representatives of the "blood collection kit" did not come, they just expressed their expectations, and the elder Whistler said that now the original blood of the blood collection bag has stopped all human social activities and concentrated on defending against the invasion of the enemy, which makes the activities of the hunters a lot more difficult.
Because the strength of the reapers, who are generally higher than the blood collection packs, and act crazy and wantonly, they are all poor ghosts, and there is almost no gain from killing them.
That's right, the purpose of hunters killing vampires is not for the sake of human righteousness and other noble sentiments, vampires' teeth are very valuable, and they are all hobbies and pleasures, and there is no shortage of money, killing a vampire often earns more than a year of serious work, and if you are lucky, it is not uncommon to catch up with a millionaire or even a multimillionaire who has lived long enough.
So it's all about small money.
The reapers probably have something wrong with the mutation, their thirst for blood is even stronger, they have to come out to forage for food almost every day, and they don't talk about any means, they knock people out and drag them in the alley when they like them, and they can often suck the blood of the whole person at once.
As the Reaper team grew, the situation intensified, and Blade and his guard "Bloodthirsty Fangs" were busy every day, but the harvest was not much, and most of those reaperswere roosters and dog thieves, and they didn't fight very well, and each one was more slippery when it came to escaping.
Because the Blade was established early, the Bloodthirsty Fangs are not equipped with too many advanced weapons, most of them are still those things designed by the old Whistler, that is, the upgraded version of the rework, in terms of mobility and firepower, it is not much stronger than the "Enforcer" of the Punisher.
But compared to the "Labyrinth Templars" under Buffyment, the evil rangers who are rumored to be "redeemers" are not half a bit, not to mention the "Winter Cold" guards that Big Bear is forming, after all, the equipment used is too different.
So they're urging the research department to develop lighter armor, the bloodthirsty fangs are because the vampires have always been explosive, speed is their strength, and now the operation of personal armament is cumbersome, and when facing high-speed moving enemies, they will fall into the embarrassing situation of being more defensive and less offensive.
