Due to the excessive number of inquiries, the lines are exceptionally busy.
Zemo had to temporarily reassign a large number of customer service personnel to provide 24-hour online support.
As for those 86 countries that voted in favor of sanctions against Sokovia at the UN General Assembly... no, now there are only 85!
No matter what promises they make... even if they are willing to pay double or even several times the compensation, Zemo's answer is always a refusal!!
They think they have a little dirty money and don't have to pay for the mistakes they made?
Dream on!
Just wait to die!
Zemo had never imagined that a small country like Sokovia could one day display such a tough stance in the international community.
And fear no targeting or sanctions from anyone or any organization.
The man who triggered this huge change was none other than Karl!
Even Zemo couldn't help but say in his heart: Boss YYDS!!
...
On the other side, the vast majority of countries that were turned away had to place their last hope on the PPDC organization.
They have promised to increase investment in the future and are constantly urging Stacker Pentecost to complete the first batch of Jaeger mechs as soon as possible!!
For the PPDC organization, this is definitely a small surprise.
But Stacker Pentecost couldn't laugh at all.
Because, as he had expected.
After many countries secretly reached cooperation intentions with Sokovia, they chose to withdraw from the joint defense system established by the PPDC.
And demanded that Stacker Pentecost return the huge membership fees paid earlier.
This made the taciturn commander feel a burst of headaches.
Because the money had already been spent in the research and development process, what could he use to return it now?!
Another small group of countries did not give up after being rejected.
Using their status as allies of the United States, they attempted to use General Ross, who was in charge of this cooperation project, to help lobby between Sokovia.
But General Ross simply didn't have time to pay attention to them now.
Because an unprecedented huge crisis had quietly occurred.
And even if he had time, he would never help these pig-like guys and make Karl feel resentful.
They are not worthy!
...
At this moment, in a certain combat command room.
General Ross stared solemnly at the huge black curtain on the big screen, photographed by military satellites in space, covering the sky above seven target cities and constantly spreading outward. Without turning his head, he asked:
"Have the troop deployments around the city been completed?"
Just five minutes ago.
In seven cities, including Green Bay, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Kingston... the seven Night Demons, who had disappeared for a while, actually walked onto the streets in broad daylight.
Then, as if they had been summoned, a majestic dark energy suddenly surged from their bodies.
These dark energies converged madly, then shot straight into the sky, immediately forming seven huge black smoke columns.
In just a few breaths, the sunlight was completely blocked by the dark barrier released from the black smoke columns.
A terrifying darkness, like an eternal night, enveloped the sky above the seven cities, making people feel suffocated as if it were an abyss about to swallow everything.
In the city, everyone was a little panicked by this sudden scene.
Flickering lights gradually lit up from the buildings on both sides of the street, barely bringing a sense of security to people in this darkness.
Many people carefully gathered in front of the windows and looked out.
But outside the window, in addition to the boundless darkness and the lights lit from the surrounding buildings, there was only their own blurred figure reflected on the glass due to the reflection of the indoor lights!
No one knows what will happen next.
But obviously it won't be anything good!
The truth is just like that...
The overwhelming darkness did not stop there, but continued to spread rapidly towards the internal area surrounded by the seven cities.
And countless dark creatures are lurking in the shadows waiting for orders.
"Report, sir, all troops have arrived at the designated area and are standing by!"
A staff member immediately reported in a stiff posture:
"According to the latest news from the front, it has been initially confirmed that the seven dangerous figures who released dark energy are all related to the recent series of vicious attacks caused by vampires, including the former street hero Blade!"
"In addition, because these people are all shrouded in some kind of unknown energy, ordinary attacks cannot cause any damage to them, nor can they interrupt their actions."
"Notify each squad, don't act rashly for the time being."
General Ross stared at the black curtain on the big screen, which had gradually converged into a large area, and couldn't help but frown, muttering to himself:
"The darkness is not spreading outward, it is only spreading towards the area within the encirclement of these seven cities... What the hell are these damned guys doing?!"
...
On the other side.
Somewhere on the streets of Chicago.
Not far from the black smoke column surrounded by the police.
Black Widow, who had just arrived at the scene, successfully invaded the monitoring system of this block through SHIELD's high-tech equipment and retrieved the images before the arrival of darkness.
"Director, it can be confirmed that the enemy's identity is Blade... at least he was Blade before his transformation!"
Then she picked up an energy detection device that looked like a walkie-talkie and aimed it at Blade, who was completely wrapped in dark energy.
After looking at the pointer on the dashboard that instantly slid to the end, she reported again:
"This energy field is released directly from Blade's body. In addition to blocking the sky, other functions are temporarily unknown... Wait a minute, something seems wrong?"
Black Widow turned on the tactical flashlight and shone it at the rooftops on both sides of the street with a puzzled look on her face.
Whether it was an illusion or not, she actually heard intermittent low roars there.
It was as if a group of unknown beasts were roaring from the darkness.
The next second—
One pair, two pairs... countless scarlet eyes suddenly lit up from the darkness on the rooftops on both sides of the street.
Immediately afterwards, countless vampires, like dumplings, jumped straight down from the rooftops on both sides, and made a series of dull crashing sounds when they landed, and then pounced on the crowd on the street with strange screams.
Not just the rooftops...
There were also the stinky sewers and abandoned warehouses that no one cared about.
The vampires, who were originally afraid of the sun and dared not appear during the day, are now flocking to the streets, carrying out indiscriminate slaughter of humans!
For them, this is undoubtedly an unprecedented daytime carnival.
And humans... are the food they are going to hunt!
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
WTF???
Everyone was stunned by this sudden and terrifying scene.
"Help!"
"No, don't come over, please don't come over... Ah!!!"
The civilians on the street were knocked down by the vampires in patches like cutting wheat, and then drained of blood or torn to pieces in terrified wails!
Those vampires who failed to capture their prey quickly set their sights on the brightly lit buildings on both sides of the street.
No one can escape this disaster!
Next, what awaits them will be a tragic blood hunt.
And under the shroud of endless darkness, fear is constantly growing, spreading, and gathering...
"Damn it, this place is like hell."
Black Widow kicked away a vampire that pounced on her, and while fleeing into the building next to her, she reported on the communicator:
"Director, what should we do next? There are vampires everywhere on the streets, and we can't kill them all... Do you think the vampires' high-level officials want to unilaterally tear up the ceasefire treaty?"
"How the hell would I know!"
Nick Fury said with a gloomy face: "But if those bastards really decide to go to war with humans, why only set the location in these seven cities?"
"And, humans and vampires have always been at peace, why have there been constant conflicts until recently?"
The latest novels are first published on !
Nick Fury didn't continue.
But all the current signs indicate that something they don't know must have happened quietly among the vampire high-level officials!
Thinking of this.
Nick Fury couldn't help but feel annoyed and depressed again.
If his 'undercover development plan' hadn't been ruined by Karl, he would have already figured out the vampire high-level officials' plan.
He wouldn't be so passive like he is now!
Karl Mara, you damn bastard, sooner or later I will repay all the insults I have suffered in the past twice as much!
"Romanoff, stay in that building for the time being and don't move around. I'll send someone to pick you up."
...
At the same time.
At the edge of the city of Chicago.
The highway leading out of the city was already jammed with a long line of cars.
Under the influence of extreme fear, the panicked crowd had already lost their minds. They stepped on the accelerator, trying to squeeze in and cut in to escape as soon as possible.
But the more this happened, the more chaotic the scene became.
In the end, in a series of rear-end collisions and collisions, the highway leading out of the city was completely blocked.
The noise caused here also successfully attracted more vampires roaring from the streets in all directions.
So the fleeing crowd chose to get out of the car and walk.
They began to flee along the highway, using the lights of the cars to try to get rid of the vampires chasing behind them.
But the overly dense cars on the highway greatly slowed down their speed.
The crowd had to slow down and squeeze forward through the narrow gaps between the cars that could only accommodate one person.
Who could have imagined that the car, which they originally regarded as an escape tool, has now become the biggest obstacle to their survival!
However.
As the vampire army behind quickly approached.
The screams and wails gradually became more and more dense.
In the anxious crowd, some strong guys began to wave their fists or other tools, constantly knocking down the people in front of them, and then stepping on their bodies to move forward quickly.
Those who were knocked down didn't even have a chance to climb up again, and were soon trampled into a bloody mess by the continuous stream of people behind them.
However, there were also many quick-witted young people who jumped onto the roof of the car and began to run and jump forward on the roof of the car, just like the vampires attacking from behind!
But often before they ran far, they were knocked down by people below who also wanted to climb onto the roof of the car, or they were simply grabbed by the ankle and pulled down.
At certain times... people are more terrible than ghosts!
Soon, these people were all drowned in the tide of vampires.
And at the very front of the highway.
Those who were lucky enough to pass through the obstacles of the car shook their legs and ran forward with all their strength.
In the more distant place, the junction of light and darkness, General Ross's troops had already established a heavily guarded temporary checkpoint.
Under normal circumstances, their behavior of forcibly breaking through the checkpoint without identity verification would be regarded as potential enemies and killed on the spot.
But at this time, these people had already run out of options.
Because as long as they stop, they will be swallowed alive by the vampire army that follows them like a shadow.
Since stopping is death, and breaking through the checkpoint is also death, it is better to bet their lives and see if a miracle will happen!!
Facts have proved that they bet right.
"Dad, help..."
Just as a girl behind was accidentally knocked to the ground and was about to die at the hands of the vampires.
The two vampires who pounced on her from behind suddenly burst into flames and were burned into a pile of ashes in miserable wails.
That was because General Ross had already set up ultraviolet spotlights outside the checkpoint to prevent vampires.
As the lights shone back and forth, those vampires who were chasing behind burned and turned to ashes in patches.
In the end, the vampire army also learned to be good and stopped outside the range that the ultraviolet spotlights could not reach, and roared in a creepy manner towards the direction of the checkpoint.
Those civilians who successfully escaped the disaster took the opportunity to drag their soft and weak bodies to the front of the checkpoint to accept the comprehensive and detailed inspection of the soldiers.
And such scenes are constantly being staged on the edge of the seven cities!!
...
"Phew, it's a good thing ultraviolet light is effective against these bastards!"
It wasn't until the moment the vampire army swarmed out that General Ross in the combat command room finally realized what those seven high-level vampires wanted to do... a large-scale hunt for humans!
And when he saw the carefully prepared ultraviolet weapons take effect, the heartstrings he had been holding on to were finally relieved.
To be honest, he was truly afraid that the accident with the Blood God Cult would be re-enacted here.
It was precisely out of this consideration that he did not immediately order the troops to enter the dark zone after the vampire surge broke out.
Fortunately, the situation hasn't deteriorated to that extent yet.
But that's about it...
Based on real-time images transmitted by drones from various cities.
In these seven cities that were previously shrouded in darkness, at least 20,000 vampire soldiers emerged almost simultaneously.
Some cities even had as many as 50,000!
And this doesn't include the number of vampires who followed the darkness and fled to other areas during the process.
Such an astonishing number is simply unprecedented.
This greatly exceeded General Ross's previous estimates.
To the point that the total force he sent out didn't even reach one-tenth of the total number of vampires.
With this little manpower, forget rushing in to rescue people, he would already be thanking the heavens if they could firmly hold the outer defense line when night fell!
You must know that the combat power of vampires in the dark is 2 to 3 times that of ordinary people.
Even special forces proficient in special operations have no chance of winning when fighting vampires in a dark environment.
Therefore, General Ross decisively changed his strategy.
From the previous plan to enter the dark area for clearing and rescue operations, to now firmly defending the outer defense line, and absolutely not allowing this crisis to spread to the outer cities!
