The sound of footsteps echoed in the silent passage, like ripples on the water.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Only then did the walls of the stone castle reveal their original appearance. Clumps of dry moss hung in the cracks of the wall like an old man's white beard, while small spiders walked among the fluffy spider webs.
They didn't go far, and they were greeted by a large group of small red eyes. They were at the corner of the underground passage, and you could meet them as soon as you turned the corner.
Hanging above the head, it looks like the blood-stained stars in the night.
"It's the bat again."
Strange, why do you have to say it again?
Su Ming signaled Parham to take action. These winged stuffed animals crowded the passage in a dense manner. They used their winged forelimbs to writhe on their companions, squeezed around, and crawled toward a few people.
Several people in the darkness noticed the difference between these bats, because they had canine teeth that were so large that they were disproportionate to their bodies, and they were clearly exposed outside their lips.
This deforms the corners of their mouths, making them look like they are smiling strangely.
For Su Ming, he would not be afraid of these small animals if he was wearing heavy armor, unless their teeth were made of Adamantium alloy.
But since these things are arranged here as defense mechanisms, they must have their specialties, so Su Ming told Parham to strike first and not give them a chance to show their specialties.
He also took off two incendiary bombs and threw them over. They were the incendiary grenades that he had picked up when he went to SSR.
There are many types of incendiary grenades in the US military. The death knells commonly use m3 thermite incendiary bombs and m15 white phosphorus incendiary bombs. The former is used to destroy light armor and equipment, while the latter is used to kill personnel.
Su Ming is now able to tear apart tanks with his hands. He only needs the M15 to increase his three-dimensional killing ability.
A billowing heat wave hit in an instant. This kind of thing is actually very unsafe to use at close range, but these people are not ordinary people, and a little flame is just a drizzle.
The bats screamed, just like a group of children suddenly crying in your ears at midnight. Their voices continued to echo and spread in the small space, and instantly poured into the minds of several people like a torrent.
Su Ming immediately felt his breathing stagnant, and the pain from strangulation was felt. The noise made by thousands of bats at the same time made it extremely painful.
Although part of the body forms the host's armor and is metalized, more parts form soft buffer layers such as linings, including the links within the human body, which are unable to defend against sound wave attacks.
In addition to Parham, the two others, Hela and Satana, also covered their ears with uncomfortable expressions.
These bats have a strange power. The frequency of their sound waves seems to affect people's sanity, just like there is a tsunami rolling in the brain.
"Parham, hurry!"
Su Ming was slightly affected by the presence of the x-metal skull, but strangulation was no longer enough and it was slowly softening.
Now this situation must rely on the Ghost Rider, who only has flames in his skull.
Parham saw the looks of the three people and naturally knew that now was not the time to delay. Not only did he spit out the fire snake again, but he also fired the weapon in his hand.
"hold onto."
Su Ming dragged the two women back and evacuated, but the narrow tunnel continued to conduct sound waves far away. When all the bats roared in their direction, there was no way to escape.
He immediately took off another grenade from his chest and threw it out. This time it was a shock bomb. When it exploded, it would produce a bright light and a huge explosion. It was also a sharp weapon against vampires.
It's just that using it in such a narrow place may cause harm to several people, but long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If the situation develops like this, you can't hesitate and just use it.
The shock grenade was an invention of the German company Rheinmetall. It was used by the German special operations teams during World War II. After World War II, the American Paperclip Project naturally did not forget this technology.
After all, there are always demonstrations in democratic countries. Now that we have shock bombs and tear gas, we no longer have to worry about unruly people making trouble.
The small tube suddenly exploded, and after a muffled sound, everything seemed distant and quiet, and Su Ming's ears buzzed.
No matter how much his body was strengthened, the eardrum was still not a strengthened part. Even he himself felt unsteady and could only hold on to the cold stone wall.
On the contrary, Ghost Rider has a great advantage in this situation. He has no ears and no eyes.
He doesn't even have a brain, his whole person is just a skeleton supported by the flames of hell.
The strong sonic boom caused considerable damage to the bats. They fell from the ceiling like rain and fell into the flames below, making crackling and exploding sounds.
Parham lost no time in grilling them with flames, and soon a special burnt aroma filled the passage.
It's the kind of meaty aroma mixed with the smell of fur on fire and bones burning.
Hela's recovery speed was the fastest. The half-god and half-undead she got rid of the effects of dizziness just by shaking her head, while Satana's recovery was slightly slower, but the difference was only one second.
The one with the slowest recovery was Strangler. It did not regain contact with the host until all the barbecue was done.
Su Ming replaced all the grenades on his chest with shock bombs. If strong sound is useful for bats, then strong light is the nemesis of vampires.
Creatures with night vision are often very sensitive to light, just like the trench tribe next door.
Satana leaned against the wall, raised her hand and touched the blood flowing from her ear, stuck out her tongue and licked it, then turned back to Su Ming: "You ruptured my membrane, please give me some compensation.
"
"You also have the ability to heal yourself. The membrane is not worth anything to us."
Su Ming took off his helmet and wiped his ears. Strangler had already repaired the host's body with his own tissue.
"Hmph..." Satana let go of him angrily: "Let's go. I'll leave as soon as I finish my work. There's no point in being with you at all."
The strangulation spread to Su Ming's face again. He held the God Killer and walked deeper into the passage: "You think all the interesting people should be killed by you, right? Are interesting souls more delicious?"
Satana was thoughtful. She looked at the black ash on the ground and recalled: "It seems like this is really the case..."
"Parham, open the way." Su Ming stopped talking to the female demon and directly gave the order to Ghost Rider: "Can you use grenades?"
Ghost Rider received several shock bombs, but the demon fire did not detonate them, but instead turned them into skeletons with wires.
"Grenadiers are not a new product."
"Very good. If you encounter someone difficult to deal with, throw a grenade and we will keep a distance from you." Su Ming pointed to the passage ahead.
"Understood."
The burning skeleton gradually moved away with the light of fire.
With the Ghost Rider opening the way, Su Ming could paddle. As everyone moved forward, some small rooms gradually appeared on both sides of the corridor, and a coffin was often parked in these rooms.
Surrounded by candlelight, the dark coffins have a mysterious beauty. These are the beds of vampires.
The three of them pried open each coffin and inspected it. They found that they were all empty inside.
By counting the number of coffins, you can get the approximate number of vampires. From the furnishings and decorations in each room, you can roughly judge the number of vampire sorcerers.
Maybe their talents are not as good as the Ancient One, but if they are vampire wizards who are thousands of years old, they will definitely be stronger than the Magic Prince and the others.
After obtaining the information, the group continued to move forward, always maintaining a reasonable range from the Ghost Rider.
The area adjacent to the accommodation area is an underground restaurant, a vampire's restaurant, which is like a prison to humans, with cells filled with pale people.
There are women in the cells, and the tasteful vampires only drink the blood of women. Obviously, they have been trapped here for a long time. The cell and their bodies are filled with a stinky smell. Everyone's mental state is abnormally depressed, and there is only a look in their eyes.
With an excited look.
Sucking blood to kill people is what low-level vampires do. High-level vampires usually practice breeding, keeping the taste they like, only taking a few sips at a time, and letting the blood donor recuperate for a few days, and then the water will flow slowly.
"Come here, come here quickly!"
"Huh? Hero, come and save us!"
"Let me go and I will repay you."
Su Ming and the others looked different from vampires at first glance, and the women in some cells began to pray to them.
They stretched out their arms from the windows on the cell door, as if to save a few people, with hope on their faces.
Through the darkness and the solid iron door, Su Ming looked at their necks. There were two round holes on them, as if the wounds would never heal.
He turned around and continued to move forward: "Satanana, they belong to you."
"Oh? It means...can it be eaten?" The devil's daughter smiled, licked her lips with her little tongue, and said gloomily.
"Yes, leave no one behind." Su Ming nodded and continued moving forward with Hela: "Remember to burn the corpses."
Hela listened to Satana's delicate laughter and the screams of humans coming from behind. She was a little curious as to why Deathstroke would give such an order.
As if aware of her doubts, Su Ming just smiled and said nothing more.
The teeth marks on their necks are obviously formed over many years. These women have probably become blood slaves. Due to Stockholm Syndrome, they will also find new masters after they are released.
Being sucked by a vampire is addictive, and ordinary people cannot get rid of that ultimate pleasure, regardless of men or women. This is the origin of the Death Cult.
There is an even more critical point.
Su Ming had no way to tell whether these were parasites of blood-sucking parasites.
Judging from the appearance alone, there is no difference between a parasite and a human being. Ultraviolet radiation, garlic essence, silverware and other props are ineffective. The brain needs to be split open to examine the contents inside, which means death.
Today's medical technology only has X-rays, which are used to examine bones and cannot detect the presence of brain parasites. Brain CT equipment has not been invented yet.
If strangulation is allowed to get into their brains to search and check, it will be a death for ordinary people who do not have the ability to heal themselves.
Satana and Hela in the team did not know anything about parasites, and even if they had detection methods, Su Ming would not believe them.
It was impossible for him to split every head to check, and then use the time gem on each person to revive them. This kind of thing could not be shown in front of ordinary people, and it would consume a lot of money for him.
Once a parasite is accidentally released, it is likely to spread to a large number of people. Su Ming and the four people will not be infected, but it does not mean that other people will not be infected.
Saving people may seem like a good thing, but it may kill more people.
At this time, you must make a rational judgment and not be soft-hearted. Kill them all now, and do not let go of the wrong ones.
Maybe there are innocent people inside, maybe their families are still waiting for them to go back, but they must sacrifice themselves for the world.
This world has never changed, and there is never any fairness.
