Daywalker stared upward and shook his head. “This guy isn’t dead yet. It seems the dose wasn’t enough. Do you still have any anticoagulants?”
Luke said, “Too much trouble.” He then took out another M500.
As he stretched out his hand, the blood cocoon above him trembled. The five bullets it had been shot with weren’t normal at all, and its memory of it was still fresh.
A strange sound rang out. As Luke and Daywalker watched, a bunch of test subjects smashed down at them.
Daywalker brandished his longsword, while Luke simply pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The five bullets twisted in an S shape in the air this time to pass through the test subjects and hit the blood cocoon that was slipping away.
At that moment, the blood cocoon had lost its meat shield, and Luke’s five shots were all incendiary shells.
The bullets pierced the blood cocoon, and it let out a strange roar. It turned over and blue smoke seeped out. Then, with a bang, its bottom half exploded into countless drops of dark blood.
Luke ducked into a side tunnel he had already seen earlier on.
Daywalker, who had just cut down several test subjects and had been about to chase the blood cocoon, was hit.
Two seconds later, when there were no more blood splatters, Luke stuck his head out of the tunnel. “Are you alright?”
Daywalker silently took off his sunglasses and threw them away. They were covered in blood and he couldn’t see through them at all.
When he killed vampires before, they turned into dust very quickly. When had there ever been a b*stard like this who spat out blood every now and then?
Luke took out a roll of bandages apologetically. “Use this to wipe yourself down first. We have to catch up with it. We can’t let it escape.”
Daywalker silently accepted the bandages and wiped his eyes.
Actually, the bandages couldn’t even clean his face.
Luke had given them to this temporary teammate to appease him, before he immediately flew up.
This was a multilevel sewer system.The two of them had entered from the bottom, while the blood cocoon was fleeing to the top.
Although part of the blood cocoon had exploded, it had still taken dozens of test subjects with it. Clearly, it hadn’t truly lost its combat ability.
Of course, they couldn’t let this monster roam free in New York’s sewers, in the event it let loose another bunch of test subjects some other day; it wasn’t like Luke and his temporary teammates could look out for it every day.
Daywalker quickly followed him. His feet squelched as he ran, and Luke shuddered at the sound.
The dark red blood cocoon left behind a stench after it was burnt by Luke’s incendiary shells, and it was very easy to track it.
After covering 100 meters, they found an open manhole cover. They charged out and were immediately swamped by a noisy cacophony.
Helicopter searchlights swept the area. Cries of alarm, screams, and the sound of walls breaking rang out, stunning Daywalker.
Luke’s face darkened.
Alfred had been keeping an eye on the live broadcast. Luke had known what the situation would be like before he charged out.
The dark red blood cocoon ran over the ground and broke into a nearby building.
Flying out of the sewers, Luke rushed into the building and caught up with the test subjects that were wreaking havoc inside.
With a wave of his longsword, all the test subjects that were blocking his way were cut into pieces.
But as soon as he passed by them, he sensed something was wrong. He turned around and saw that they weren’t dead, but had been stuck back together with the help of some dark red blood. Then, they roared and lunged at him again.
Luke raised an eyebrow and reached behind him to take out a net gun.
With a bang, seven or eight experimental bodies were wrapped up in the net.
He had various equipment in his inventory, and could take them out at any time. If he couldn’t kill them, he would trap them first.
Following the stench to the blood cocoon, Luke finally followed it into a building on the side.
At that moment, there were already more than 30 experimental bodies lying on the ground behind him, but there were still more than 30 of them in front of him.
Had these test subjects… just been created? He immediately reacted.
The test subjects which had entered the building just now had very typical appearances: They basically weren’t wearing clothes and were also very dirty. It was obvious that they had been in the sewers for a long time.
Although the test subjects in front of him now weren’t exactly clean, they were clearly wearing home clothes or underwear that were just a little grubby.
Was this mutant Blood God turning the residents it encountered into test subjects? Thinking of this possibility, Luke was furious. How troublesome!
“Tony, grunt if you’re free,” he said over the comms.
Iron Man: “What’s up?”
Batman said, “Hurry up and get to Jackson Heights. We have a really annoying guy here.”
There basically weren’t any more monsters on Tony’s side. He immediately turned around and flew over excitedly when he heard that. At the same time, he didn’t forget to ask, “How annoying?”
Batman: “See for yourself.”
Tony immediately received information on the mutated Blood God. He was stunned.
If Jarvis hadn’t been in charge of flight control, Tony would’ve fallen. “A suspected vampire Blood God mutant? A blood cocoon that can run around and turn ordinary people into test subjects?”
To be honest, he could accept monsters and magic. After all, “gods” of Asgard had appeared, so a little bit of magic was nothing.
He could also accept monsters being a little more technologically advanced. After all, he was a scientist; it wouldn’t be strange if some crazy scientist created monsters.
But why did this thing feel like a magic and tech two-in-one?
However, the tycoon had seen a lot. He was only surprised for a moment, before he immediately thought of ways to deal with this monster.
While Luke had the tycoon use his brain, he trapped these new test subjects in another net.
The troublesome thing was that the charred smell of the mutant Blood God had suddenly disappeared.
The trail led here and then disappeared.
Luke frowned.
He didn’t think that this guy had some sort of space portal. Daywalker had killed so many vampires, and had never mentioned such a ridiculous thing.
So, this guy had planned to create chaos and then escape?
For a moment, Luke stood in the hallway and fell into deep thought.
Daywalker arrived and asked, “Where’s the Blood God?”
Luke shook his head. “It suddenly disappeared after entering this building. Hm, can you track it?”
Daywalker: “I’ll try.”
He narrowed his eyes and took a sniff.
At that moment, dark red blood suddenly shot out of a test subject not far away from Daywalker and jumped onto his back.
Neither of them had expected this twist in events. Daywalker even had a shocked expression on his face as the dark red blood stuck to his body.
Luke quickly realized what was going on.
The mutant Blood God had killed the residents just to hide and ambush the two of them.
When it hid inside the residents who had been converted into test subjects, its charred smell disappeared.
In such a short period of time, Sharp Nose could only discern that the residents had been in contact with the blood cocoon.. Luke hadn’t thought of the possibility that it was hiding in them.
