Chapter 197: The Confident Dracula
Romania is a small country in Eastern Europe, and the people here seem to be still living in the 19th century.
There are no noisy and bustling big cities here, only peaceful and quiet small villages and towns.
People do not have all kinds of luxuries and live in simplicity.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Simple, but happy.
On the country road where the Avengers were walking, looking at the people on both sides who were busy in the fields but with happy and satisfied smiles on their faces, I felt particularly heavy: this paradise-like place was about to become a battlefield.
At that time, all the good things will be shattered.
Perhaps feeling the heavy atmosphere, Tony breathed a deep sigh of relief and said: "I always thought that only more advanced technology can bring happiness to people, but after seeing them, my concept was shaken."
After the kidnapping incident in the Middle East, Tony met that friend in the lair of terrorists...Tony learned a lot from him: In the Middle East, many small and weak countries are bullied by big powers and live in dire straits.
All these are the consequences of technology.
Because big countries have advanced technology, they enjoy it while also plundering other small countries with backward technology.
Technology is just a tool and cannot bring happiness to people. What can bring happiness to people are the people who use technology.
But it can also cause pain to people.
Tony realized this at that time, so he immediately abolished the weapons research and development department after escaping back, sincerely hoping to use technology to bring happiness to people.
Now, after seeing the lives of the Romanian people, I am even more convinced of this.
"The only thing that can bring happiness to people is human beings themselves."
Tina was walking listlessly while carrying a sniper cannon that was taller than herself.
As he walked, he said nonchalantly: "Before I traveled across time, I often performed conflicting tasks as a soldier. But even so, I felt very satisfied to be needed by others.
Because I am the child of the curse.
As for the Cursed Child, just being alive makes people disgusted, and they are like garbage."
Tina's voice was very calm, as if she was talking about something trivial.
But that's why it feels heavy.
So what kind of world is it, and what kind of life have we experienced, that we can be satisfied with this kind of thing and become accustomed to it?
"..."
Tony was speechless.
He originally wanted to improve the heavy atmosphere, but he didn't expect it to become even heavier.
Fortunately, the destination has arrived.
On a pile of earth, two people stood.
One of them has a bald head with many ugly tumors on his head, but he is wearing an expensive black suit, which makes him look a little funny.
The other is for female soldiers.
He is about 20 years old, wearing a modern military uniform, with a golden ponytail, and a modern pistol on his waist.
"Welcome to the territory of the Night Clan. I am "Bobby", the servant of the Vampire King. I would like to salute you, Avengers." The bald man saluted everyone.
"Time is tight, so I won't talk nonsense."
Nick Fury held an orange cat in his arms, stared at the man and said, "Take us to see Dracula quickly. If it's too late, the two peers from another world will come over."
"They're not that fast."
Bobby said, extending his hand inside to signal invitation.
Fury and others were not polite and led everyone in.
Outside there is a bare plain, but after walking in, the environment suddenly changes into dense woods.
Bobby walked at the front and said: "Dracula City is in a barrier, they can't find it so quickly."
"It's also a waste of our time."
Tony complained dissatisfiedly.
"It won't waste much, there is transportation ahead."
"You mean the carriage?"
“I don’t know how long it will take to do that thing!”
"We're not that backward."
While talking, everyone entered the woods.
In the seemingly dense forest outside, there is an open space with an Apache helicopter parked on it.
Bobby said proudly: "The weapons and equipment of our Night Clan are no worse than those of any country today."
"Okay, we already know how awesome you are, send us to see Dracula quickly!" Colonel Rhodes said disapprovingly.
Obviously, he didn't take this seriously.
Romania has no industrial technology of its own. Even if it has the huge wealth accumulated by the vampires, arms dealers will not be stupid enough to sell them advanced weapons that can threaten itself.
But Tony and Fury's eyes became more solemn.
Although they also think it is unlikely.
But, if, if, the vampires really have nuclear bombs, then this war cannot be lost.
Once it fails, Dracula launches a nuclear bomb frantically, triggering nuclear reactions from various countries.
The world may fall into a nuclear attack.
"Captain Luna is an experienced pilot. She will take you to Dracula City."
After hearing Bobby's words, Fury and Tony came back to their senses. They looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
But he didn't say anything. He just nodded slightly and followed the female soldier named "Luna" to the helicopter.
…
Ten minutes later.
The helicopter arrived at Dracula City.
This is an ancient city built in a sunken basin.
The area is not large, similar to a modern town.
The city wall is not high, about three meters.
Even according to ancient architectural standards, it has no chance of being majestic and majestic.
This surprised all the Avengers.
They originally thought that as the legendary vampire king, his lair must be extraordinary, not to mention as majestic and domineering as in fantasy novels and comics.
The result was like this.
"Is this guy a roadie?"
Colonel Rhodes complained.
"Speaking ill of someone behind their back will cause sores on your butthole."
Captain Luna said without looking back.
"Damn it, I was so quiet, how did you hear me?"
"Didn't we tell you that this time we are going to meet the vampire boss?"
Fury glared at him fiercely and immediately asked: "I'm very sorry, Captain Luna. It's just that the legendary Dracula City is a bit..."
"Too bad?"
"Forehead……"
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
Captain Luna said calmly: "Although our king has left a strong mark in history, Romania has always been a small country, but it does not have the resources to build any majestic and majestic big cities, nor does it have the need."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"Okay, we're here."
As he spoke, the helicopter stopped in an open space in the city.
Everyone got off the plane one by one.
Dracula, on the other hand, has already been waiting here with his people.
"Welcome to my territory, Avengers."
Dracula smiled and gave a slight salute to Fury and others.
"Thank you very much."
Fury bowed slightly to return the salute, with a solemn expression on his face, and went straight to the point: "Time is running out, so I have to speak directly. Do you have a plan to deal with this situation?"
"That's natural."
With a calm smile on his face, Dracula said: "Come to my castle and have a full drink and chat slowly. Whether it is Vlad III or Accardo, they are destined to fail."
Fury stared at Dracula.
Seeing that his expression was natural and not trying to stay calm, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Then, he looked straight and reminded: "It's a good thing that you have confidence, but you lost to Accardo last time."
"That's just a clone of me."
Dracula shrugged and said, "Moreover, when I woke up from a deep sleep, my strength had not recovered. Otherwise, that Accardo would have been dead."
"But as far as I know, Accardo didn't use his full strength."
"That's natural."
Dracula was not surprised and said: "After all, he is my peer. No amount of power is too much."
You are such a stinker!
Everyone's lips twitched when they heard this.
Fury took the lead to adjust his mentality and continued to question: "If this is the case, how do you get the confidence to win?
Do you know the true power of Accardo?
That’s the ability to make your scalp tingle just thinking about it.”
"It seems you already know his power."
Dracula had a look of surprise on his face.
To be honest, he has never underestimated humans.
But he didn't expect that the other party could figure out Accardo's power so quickly.
Is this because Accardo is too useless, or do these people have abilities beyond imagination?
Or is it just a coincidence?
"Yes, I already know."
Fury stared at Dracula and said: "Accardo alone is an army, an army of the undead with more than three million people."
As soon as these words came out, Gassner, the envoys, the guards who came with Dracula, and Captain Luna who came to send Fury all couldn't help but take a breath.
Even Dracula was stunned.
There is an old saying in the world: Under absolute power, quantity is meaningless.
But there is also an old saying in the world: power is meaningless in absolute numbers.
Both are correct.
If it's wrong, there's not enough strength or quantity.
Therefore, everything is relative.
The power of vampires is indeed stronger than that of humans, and as the legendary king of vampires, Dracula's power is so powerful that it makes people change their minds.
But we are still far from ignoring the quantity.
More than three million undead... Even if more than three million pigs are lined up for him to kill, he will kill them until his hands are weak, and he will not be able to kill them all even if he uses up his magic power.
Not to mention the hostile undead.
The enemy will not just stand there and let him kill him.
Even if each unit wastes one of his chances to take action, he will most likely be killed.
but……
"As expected of my peer, he is quite capable."
Dracula laughed nonchalantly.
Fury couldn't help but be stunned.
He couldn't understand something.
Dracula's previous astonishment was not deliberate, but revealed naturally, and the same is true for his current indifference... Faced with the same problem, he showed completely opposite reactions one after another.
Obviously, even with his strength, it would be difficult to deal with an army of more than three million undead, but he has a way to deal with it.
"Don't worry about this kind of thing."
Dracula patted Fury on the shoulder and said confidently: "This cannot be solved by strength. Even if Accardo has 1,500 troops or 100 million troops, it will be useless."
Real or fake?
Fury looked at Dracula suspiciously, but could only see a confident look on his face.
He shifted his gaze and looked at Gassner and the envoy.
The two of them also had shocked expressions on their faces.
Obviously, they don't know the reason why Dracula said, "Even ten million, one hundred million is useless."
Could it be nuclear weapons?
Seemingly seeing through what Fury was thinking, Dracula smiled and said: "This is not a question of strength... However, it cannot be said that it is useless. If the army is killing people everywhere, it will be meaningless even if I win the war in the end.
Already.
Gassner, prepare to evacuate the Romanian people from the country before war comes."
Having said this, he looked at Fury and said, "Director Fury, I'm afraid I need your help here."
"It's natural."
Fury agreed without thinking twice.
Although Romania is a country of vampires, the people here are humans. Whether it is out of duty or inner justice, Fury has no shirking duty.
"Then, we just wait for Accardo and Vlad III to arrive."
…
Morocco.
Airport, waiting hall.
Gu Qing sat on the chair and said with a smile: "People are discussing what happened last night."
"It is a supernatural event after all."
Yelena said, looking around.
People waiting in the lobby, both familiar and unknown, were having heated discussions.
"Vampires, heroic spirits, Dracula...these are all materials that often appear in film and television novels. When legends appear in reality, they are like huge rocks thrown into a lake, causing huge waves."
Gu Qing said, looking at Yelena, the smile in his eyes gradually turned cold.
"What, what's wrong?"
Yelena was a little at a loss, like a little woman who didn't know where to anger her boyfriend, and felt extremely wronged.
"nothing."
Gu Qing replied calmly, not at all as gentle and casual as before, "Although I don't mind playing pretend games with you, something happened last night that made me no longer in the mood to play with you."
"What are you talking about?"
"Yelina, the record holder of the Red Room, the strongest black widow..."
Gu Qing looked at Yelena, whose face was turning pale, with a smile on his face, "I'm not interested in your identity or purpose... Although I was slightly interested in the person behind you, it's gone now.
I don't intend to go into detail about you, after all, you also spent a good time with me.
But that’s where it ends.
For a long time from now on, I won’t be able to face it with a playful attitude.”
Yelena's face turned pale, and her expression changed.
Finally, he glanced at Otto, who was sitting in the back, reading quietly, and let go of the things in his pocket.
She took a deep breath, then raised her head, looked directly at Gu Qing, and asked, "When did you know?"
"Target me but don't know me at all?"
"Precognition!"
Yelena stared at Gu Qing closely, confirming the answer from his default eyes, biting her lower lip tightly, her eyes turning red.
It's like looking at the enemy who killed his father.
This made Gu Qing very strange.
The first time they met was when Yelena came to his door in order to get close to him.
Before that, the two had no intersection.
After we met, I never did anything to feel sorry for her.
He didn't understand why Yelena hated him.
"Your reaction piques my interest..."
Gu Qing rubbed his chin and looked at Yelena with curious eyes, "Although it is possible that you deliberately showed this reaction to attract my attention, I really can't figure out what benefit it will do to you and the people behind you.
So, is this your true reaction?"
"This is……"
Yelena paused slightly, then suddenly burst out.
A sharp blade came out of her mouth, she took it with her right hand and turned it into cold light.
However, just as he waved his right hand, it stopped.
The thick green rhizomes wrapped around her from bottom to top without any gaps.
Yelena glanced at the young man with gray hair and delicate appearance from the corner of her eye, but his face was expressionless, as if he were dead.
He couldn't help but grit his teeth and spit out his name.
"Otto!"
Otto ignored her, didn't even raise his head to look at her, and still looked down at the book quietly.
This made Yelena even more angry.
But what makes her feel strange is that although there is obviously a supernatural dispute here, why are other people doing their own thing as if nothing has happened.
"If this is your true reaction, that would be strange. I don't remember doing anything sorry for you." Gu Qing pinched his chin and looked at Yelena with interest.
It is impossible for a qualified spy to reveal his true feelings outside, let alone the record-breaking Black Widow.
But now it's happened.
Chapter completed!
