As they advanced toward Vajra City, Coulson received images from the reconnaissance aircraft, confirming the presence of a moving crowd ahead, with many Kabaneri approaching that location.
After spending several minutes clearing out the Kabaneri, Coulson chose to continue forward, attempting to make contact with the humans of this world—a step that would be inevitable sooner or later.
Thus, the current scene unfolded.
Natasha, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit that caught many eyes, approached the bitten Good Samaritan and took out a vial of Kabaneri serum. "Sir, please raise your hand!"
"He has already been bitten..." Nameless remarked from the side, unable to comprehend the actions of these suddenly appearing humans.
Why not eliminate the threat when he had already been bitten? The fact that he would inevitably transform into a Kabaneri could not be changed.
"This serum is specially prepared for those bitten by Kabaneri. As long as it is injected, even if bitten by a Kabaneri, one will not turn into a monster!" Natasha explained with a smile, addressing both the man with a sorrowful expression and the others around them.
"Does such a thing really exist? That serum?" Countless eyes turned toward her with a mix of hope and skepticism.
Could that transparent liquid truly have such great effects? If it could be widely distributed, humanity would have the power to reclaim the world they had lost.
"We'll find out soon enough if it's real!" Nameless watched curiously, her expression complex. If such a thing were real and effective, her long-held wish could finally come true.
But why did she feel so empty inside? Nameless was puzzled, her delicate hand pressed against her chest, feeling a heartbeat similar to that of the Kabaneri.
Amidst the throng of armed forces, Coulson emerged from the Ground Fortress. He looked up to see a girl of similar treatment slowly approaching.
Was this seemingly underage girl the leader of this group? Coulson pondered as a clear voice rang in his ears.
"Hello, thank you for your help!" Acorus said lightly, frowning slightly. This oddly dressed group reminded her of recent events involving those who operated hovering vehicles in Jun City.
Coulson nodded with a smile. From their attire and demeanor, he saw an echo of ancient Island Nation culture; it seemed this region had quite a connection to the modern Island Nation.
As agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., every agent above level three possesses multilingual capabilities, with only a few exceptions who took an unconventional path to join.
"You're the leader of these people, aren't you?" Coulson inquired, though his gaze was fixed on an object in the girl's hand, which bore the unmistakable logo of Stark Industries.
Before the girl could respond, he continued, "Have you had any contact with a man in Iron Armor? From what I understand, the item you have should be one of his inventions."
"Sorry, I've seen that person, but the one who gave me this weapon is an adult named Peter!" Acorus pondered for a moment, recalling the individual in question.
She remembered seeing a humanoid metallic figure hovering; it was only now that she understood it was a human clad in armor!
Coulson chuckled softly; Peter certainly knew how to make friends by giving away Tony's creations!
"Your Peter must be one of ours. We're actually preparing to meet up with them. If you’re willing, you can join us!" After his laughter, Coulson extended the invitation.
A girl who could receive gifts from Peter likely had caught his interest.
Coulson, with his seasoned experience, thought back to the source of this connection and found it quite plausible. If not for the language barrier and the strange atmosphere in Jun City, Big Boy probably wouldn't have left.
In fact, Peter couldn't stop thinking about that strong girl. At this moment, he gazed up at the bright moon—a sight that had reappeared after a month. Only in this other world could he see such a full moon.
"What are you staring at? No resting allowed; get back to work!" Big Boy suddenly turned and shouted at the vampires beneath the building. In a foul mood, he needed a target to vent his frustrations. If they didn’t watch their step, Peter wouldn’t hesitate to let them taste Spider-Man's fist.
—It would be just right to avenge the last time he was beaten like a dog by that female vampire!
The dozen or so vampires dared not voice their anger. They had originally been relieved to finally be able to live under the sun, but now they felt resentment. Mabapi—working for free during the day and still having to work at night without rest—twenty-four hours non-stop—
For vampires, creatures with remarkable regenerative abilities, Monster Teacher was thoroughly satisfied. In this society, where else could one find laborers who could work twenty-four hours without needing rest?
Vampires have also contemplated suicide.
However, Tony Stark, who had once been bitten by a vampire, developed a drug that prevents them from taking their own lives. It was called Nano-Microrobots. Once injected into their bodies, whenever it detected brainwaves indicative of suicidal tendencies—
—Ah, living is worse than dying, and dying is worse than living!
“Mr. Peter, I have some news about Acorus. Would you like to know?” J.A.R.V.I.S. controlled a machine that floated next to Big Boy, simultaneously projecting a screen in the air. On it was the girl he cared about, named Acorus.
On the screen, Acorus's delicate figure was surrounded by countless modern firearms; however, only the girl’s silhouette was captured, with no other figures visible.
It looked like a dire situation where she was being aimed at by numerous weapons.
Big Boy's mind exploded as he stared at the screen in shock. Was that strong girl about to perish?
“She’s still alive, at least for now!” J.A.R.V.I.S. replied.
Peter breathed a sigh of relief, but his tension did not ease. The fact that she was still alive only meant that the situation was critical; there was no telling when disaster might strike.
“For just one apple, I can send a clone to ensure her safety. Quite a bargain, wouldn’t you say?” J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice carried a hint of cunning as it observed Peter's interest.
It continued, “She’s a beautiful girl; even in modern times, she would stand out. Most importantly, women in this world share the same deep-rooted belief as those from the ancient Asian continent: they follow their husbands no matter what!”
“Has Mr. Peter made up his mind?” J.A.R.V.I.S. urged; it hadn’t lied at all!
“One apple, huh? I’ll give it to you!” Peter gritted his teeth. He truly liked that girl; what was there to hesitate over an apple?
After Peter made his decision, a firework shot from the Floating Fortress into the distance, quickly fading into a speck of starlight.
In the fortress, Chen Fan's lips twitched as he watched the scene below, which was being synchronized by J.A.R.V.I.S., clearly seeing the entire process unfold.
“Tony… when did your J.A.R.V.I.S. become so devious?” Chen Fan said, stroking the Thunder Book. He certainly didn't want 007 to catch this kind of personality.
“It has always been like this!” Tony sighed while tinkering with vampire blood, pondering whether he should clean up some of J.A.R.V.I.S.'s garbage programs to prevent it from becoming even more cunning.
However, this thought quickly faded; after all, being able to con a big apple out of Peter showed that this artificial intelligence was quite capable. At least he still had to spend money to get Peter to spill secrets.
“Sir… I have one question. Why do the fruits and vegetables you produced this time lack the ability to enhance physical strength?” Tony asked curiously, which was also a reason for his confusion.
After some research, he discovered that the food samples extracted from the Slum only contained slightly more protein and beneficial substances than ordinary crops; they were nothing like the miraculous fruits and vegetables from the villa.
Tony's confusion was met with the boy's resentful gaze.
Chen Fan regretted giving away the villa's fruits and vegetables.
During the power fusion phase, the mutated fruits and vegetables from the villa possessed an irreplaceable ability. Unless Chen Fan went to slay a deity with agricultural divinity, there would be a chance for new mutated fruits and vegetables to appear.
And that was merely a chance, not a guarantee.
Fortunately, although those fruits and vegetables had miraculous effects, they were still ordinary food to Chen Fan. It only caused him a bit of heartache; otherwise, he would have demanded them back.
