In fact, as Steve wondered.

Although they are all vampires transformed through the Stone Ghost Face, the potential of the transformed person as a vampire varies depending on the Stone Ghost Face.

If it is said that the card [Dior] transformed vampire drawn by Li Ran is the most complete and close to the potential of the stone ghost face to stimulate the peak. Then, most of the stone ghost masks created by Li Ran's use of [Kaz] now are such stone ghost masks that are inferior in the effect of stimulating potential.

After all, according to the setting, the appearance of the stone ghost mask was a tool created by [Kaz] as the pillar man in order to overcome his own weaknesses and achieve perfect evolution into a super creature. Since it is manufactured, there will naturally be some uneven stone ghost faces in the process.

These stone ghost masks, while also having the effect of transforming people into vampires, have the same effect.

However, the transformed vampires have a certain degree of gap with the [Dior] in their full state in terms of strength and healing ability.

Of course, even if there is a gap, these vampires are a terrifying existence that is difficult for ordinary people to overcome, and at the same time, they also bring a lot of trouble to the Avengers who come to the ship.

……

The thought in my mind flashed away.

Steve looked at the vampire who was still struggling in front of him, then lifted the shield in his hand, stepped forward against the vampire's neck, and asked in a cold voice, "Tell me, your purpose, vampire?" ”

"Hehe," turning his scarlet eyes, the vampire stared at Steve in front of him, and replied in a hoarse voice, "Purpose, our goal is to kill all of you who ran to S.H.I.E.L.D. on the ship, besides, do you think that I am the only vampire on the ship?" ”

"What?!"

The vampire's words made Steve's heart flash a trace of uneasiness, and he hurriedly asked into his headphones.

"Natasha, Natasha!"

“……”

After waiting for a few seconds, Natasha's slightly rapid breathing and answer were heard from the other side of the headset.

“…… Sorry, Captain, I may need a little more time here, and the local resistance is a bit fierce. ”

As she spoke, Natasha turned her head sideways at the blackened, hideous vampire across from her, and turned the blue fist in her hand.

Under normal circumstances, she is not a vampire opponent though.

However, with the equipment developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. through Zetarian technology, it was able to close the gap between this super agent and the other party, so that the battle gap between the two sides was not too great.

It's just that, staring at the wound on the other party's face that recovered at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, Natasha couldn't help but pout.

Even if she is strong-willed, she feels a little headache for a guy like a vampire with super self-healing ability.

"Tell me where you are, Natasha, and we'll be over right ......"

Hearing the situation on Natasha's side, Steve's expression furrowed, and he was about to pass.

"Captain......

I heard the falcon behind him say in a helpless tone: "Judging from the current situation, it is not necessarily accurate who will support whom." ”

As he spoke, the falcon's gaze swept over the dense figures that appeared around him unconsciously, especially their identical scarlet eyes, and a solemn look on their dark faces.

Obviously, as the vampire said before, there were not only many vampires on the ship, but there were many more than they imagined.

"In this world, even vampires have come to be pirates?"

……

Bang, bang-

Her slender thighs wrapped tightly around the vampire's neck, and Natasha swung her fist wrapped in blue light and slammed it into the other's head.

The continuous blows were accompanied by a strong feeling of suffocation, which even as a vampire could not withstand for a while.

In the end, although it also bears the name vampire.

However, there is still an essential gap between these vampires and the so-called vampires in the legends.

If the legendary vampires are evil magical creatures that change due to curses, then the vampires on these ships are more inclined to superhuman monsters with mutated bodies. Their abilities all come from something called the Stone Ghost Face, although they share the same near-immortal abilities as vampires, superhuman strength and speed, and the ability to recover.

However, these abilities have a certain limit, especially the powerful self-healing ability he showed before, which must consume a certain amount of life ability to exert its effect, and the required life ability is not low.

Right now, in the computer room, he and Natasha obviously have no other goal to replenish her healing vitality.

As a result, he encountered Natasha's successive attacks and lost his strong self-healing ability as a hole card.

Naturally, the vampire's resistance became weaker and weaker.

Natasha was obviously aware of this, and she would launch a steady stream of fierce attacks on the other side.

……

Waving the metal wings on his back to knock the vampires out of the way in front of him, the falcon staggered and shouted as he looked at the vampires that were still rushing up like zombies in front of him.

"Captain, we can't go on like this!"

"If we continue like this, even if we don't get killed by the vampires, we will be dragged to death by them."

Although he has a high-tech wing as a support, in essence, Falcon is still just an ordinary person, and he has been able to hold on to vampires who are far superior to ordinary people in terms of strength and speed, and it is not bad that he has been able to hold on until now. However, it is clear that this is already close to the limit of falconry.

Boom!

With a wave of his shield, he knocked the vampire on the deck, and Steve chased after him and smashed him down on the neck again.

With a crisp sound of bones shattering, the vampire on the ground let out a terrible scream and ran to the side.

Steve took a deep breath and put away his shield, a look of tiredness on his face.

Compared to the falcon, Steve, who was injected with the super soldier serum, had more stamina, but he obviously still felt a little difficult against the endless stream of vampires in front of him.

However, in the course of the battle, Steve also clearly felt something.

Then, although these vampires in front of him are difficult, they are not so difficult to resist compared to the vampires they have been in contact with in the past, so although there are many vampires against him, they are not to the point of despair.

If every vampire is as powerful as he once fought Dio.

Then, no matter how good Steve's endurance and determination are, he has no motivation to fight.

"Whew~"

Struggling to adjust his breathing, Steve's gaze swept over the vampires around him, clenching his shield and about to step forward.

Bang –

A brief gunshot was heard, and a vampire on the opposite side was shot and fell to the ground.

Although, the vampire who was shot quickly stood up again, but the situation in front of him clearly illustrated the situation.

"Captain, we're here to help you."

With the sound of gunfire, the voices of members of S.H.I.E.L.D. operations team were soon heard in the headset.

"What about the hostages?"

Hearing the support of the team members, Steve's expression was relieved, but he immediately thought about the safety of the hostages.

Even in the face of repeated attacks by vampires, he still did not forget that the purpose of his mission was to rescue the hostages taken by the pirates on the ship.

"The hostages have all been sent to safety."

Inside the headset, the action team's answer completely reassured Steve's originally slightly worried mood.

Holding his shield and looking at the vampire in front of him, he said in a deep voice, "Then, please leave it to you." ”

"Don't worry, Captain."

……

Click!

Pull out the special wire rope around your waist and entangle the vampire who is getting weaker and weaker in resistance.

Natasha gritted her teeth and pulled her hand down suddenly, instantly tightening the wire rope on the vampire's neck, and seeing the vampire who was completely unconscious in her hand, she continued to pull the steel rope for dozens of seconds.

Only then did he gasp and release the rope in his hand, looked down at the red mark on his hand, and then turned his head to look at the computer screen still showing the content of the transmission.

……

Bang, bang –

Inside the ship, there was the assistance of the action team.

Things have clearly improved dramatically for Steve and Falcon.

Although the surrounding vampires still attacked, relying on the strong firepower of the team to help, it was obvious that the vampires' original offensive was slightly blocked.

Although they have been transformed into vampires by Stone Ghost Face, it does not mean that they can ignore bullet damage.

The bullets from the operation team hit the body, and although they couldn't kill the vampires, the damage they did still made the vampires grin in pain.

They are vampires, and they are not sentient stones, and even because of the transformation of vampires, their senses are more acute to some extent.

meantime

"Captain, do a good job of evading, we're going to use the big guy."

After one attack after another, the action team apparently discovered that their bullets were not as effective as they had imagined.

After all, these weren't the usual opponents they had encountered, and ordinary bullets were clearly not as useful as they thought.

Looking at the vampires who kept falling and getting up, and the fewer and fewer bullets in their hands, the operation team began to switch tactics.

As mentioned before, as the operation team of S.H.I.E.L.D., in order to cooperate with the actions of the Avengers members, they are equipped with equipment that is not ordinary.

As reminded by the team members, Steve and Falcon silently glanced at each other, and without hesitation, they threw themselves to the side to make a dodge gesture. And the second they fell, with a piercing firing, a missile specially made by S.H.I.E.L.D. roared into the galley of the ship where the Avengers and vampires were.

Rumble!

The huge flames erupted in an instant with the impact.

"Ahem......"

There was a cough in his mouth, shaking his drowsy head and getting up from the ground, Falcon looked at the metal steel frame around him that was hit hard by the explosion, and then turned his head to look at the broken and charred metal wings behind his back, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes and said: "I don't know if S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible for maintenance, if not, I can only find Tony." ”

Because of the action team's reminder, the falcon controlled the metal wings on its back to make defensive movements before the explosion occurred. However, even so, he did not expect that the effect of the explosion was so amazing, perhaps because the design of the ship's galley itself did not have much cushioning, so that the effect of the missiles launched by the team did not have much catharsis, and completely filled the entire kitchen.

Under such a huge explosion, the falcon was somewhat fortunate that it had a pair of metal wings for so-called cover.

Therefore, although the equipment was destroyed, at least the people were not affected by the explosion.

It's not like these vampires,

Thinking in his heart, the falcon's gaze swept over the vampire in front of him.

Seeing their miserable situation at the moment, even if they were opponents of each other, they couldn't help but gasp.

Unlike him and Steve, who were prepared, these vampires were unprepared before the explosion, because they were completely exposed to the power of the explosion. Under the effect of the huge explosion and fire, even vampires with far more physical fitness than ordinary people could not resist, and they were instantly burned by the scorching flames generated by the explosion.

The entire galley of the ship was littered with their stumps and wails.

In this moment, the powerful self-healing ability that vampires were proud of was not a good thing, but became a source of their suffering.

Compared to those vampires who died, the vampires who survived the explosion gradually recovered under the ability of self-healing, but the life energy in their bodies at the moment was not enough for them to heal completely. Dragging their charred bodies and few healing wounds, the vampires struggled to move, dragging blackened marks across the deck.

Climbing up from the ground with his shield, Steve was in a better position than the Falcon, not only because of his stronger physical fitness, but also because of the vibranium shield in his hand.

Coming to Falcon's side, Steve looked at the wailing vampires around him, the expression on his face silent.

"Natasha!"

After all, Steve doesn't only know the existence of kindness, although the super soldier serum strengthens his kindness, but the combat career in World War II also makes him very clear about what kind of attitude he should have towards the enemy.

Retracting his gaze, Steve immediately thought of his other teammate, Natasha.

Boom!

Thinking of this, Steve didn't hesitate too much, and immediately rushed in the direction of the engine room with the shield in his hand.

However, the moment he rushed out of the ship's galley, there was a heavy thump.

A shimmering metallic arm slammed into him.

Faced with this sudden attack, Steve hurried. Raise your shield to block it.
