Prepare for suppressive fire! Drive them under the bridge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain America swung his shield, knocking back two humanoid vampires beside him, then feigned defeat, leaping off the bridge with his shield—the two vampires, of course, followed without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, the man with the shield was merely stronger than an ordinary human; had his shield not been so unbreakable, they would have broken through his defense long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the advantage was theirs, the two vampires chased after Steve relentlessly, completely unaware that several oddly shaped armors were speeding toward the bridge piers above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha stood on the roof of a truck behind the firing line; watching Stark’s self-destruct armor ready, she said: “Listen, the detonation sequence is this: Pier No. 1 is too damaged—we can ignore it, the blast waves will destroy it anyway. We must first blow up the strongest pier, and we must do it in one continuous motion—no time for those bats beneath to react…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark said from above: “Armor units 4 and 5 are in position, preparing for detonation. JARVIS, calculate blast radius…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blast radius confirmed. All friendly forces have evacuated. Flight trajectories calculated… Preparing for detonation… 3… 2… 1…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark hovered above the Brooklyn Bridge, watching several streaks of light surge toward its underside. The moment they struck the piers, flames erupted, the deafening explosions battered their eardrums, bricks blasted hundreds of meters into the air, and the entire bridge collapsed in a thunderous crash, its dust and smoke obscuring the entire battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>JARVIS’s voice echoed through every radio: “Detonation completed successfully. Expected effect achieved. Proceed to next phase of operation…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many enemies eliminated?” Stark asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Based on biological scans from surrounding armors, the bridge collapse killed 132 vampires. Approximately 120 remain severely wounded and are regenerating…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before JARVIS finished, Natasha shouted: “Track their positions! Send coordinates to night-vision visors! Kill those wounded vampires now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark clicked his tongue from above—he’d just watched a bat whose wings had both been pinned through struggle, flap twice, burst free from under two massive stones, and within minutes, was flying again, lopsided but alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This regeneration is deadly. I hope Connor’s side is almost ready—this kind of fighting will never end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the battlefield situation was still improving. With fighter squadrons and ground special forces coordinating, heavy firepower providing cover, and Stark’s armor units inserting themselves, the vampires’ formation was shattered. The bridge explosion had destroyed most of their combat strength; only a few high-ranking vampires now fought desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strategic counteroffensive began in full. Human lines advanced steadily; the flashes of machine guns and explosions of grenades never ceased, and sharp screams occasionally rose from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade, wielding an assault rifle, emptied a magazine into the head of a high-ranking vampire, then took a deep drag from his cigarette and crushed the butt under his boot. “Looks like we won’t need three days—tonight we’ll finish them off…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than he sensed something wrong—a sudden red glow lit up on a rooftop in Brooklyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red light solidified, slowly forming the shape of a bat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark saw it too; he frowned. “What the hell is that? Who’s doing a light show on the battlefield?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade cursed under his breath, grabbed his radio, and shouted: “They’re performing the ritual! Stop them now!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, Captain America dashed forward at supersonic speed, leaped high, and landed on the rooftop—but it was too late. Steve saw a massive mysterious array on the roof, but no one was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do I destroy this?” Steve asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, screams erupted across the battlefield. Every vampire touched by the red bat’s light let out inhuman shrieks, their faces twisting grotesquely as they transformed into bats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bats were unlike the old ones—they each had wingspans exceeding ten meters, spines growing along their wing bones, fangs lengthening, their once-normal bat faces now monstrous and terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the red glow in their eyes intensified, and collectively, they lost all reason, attacking everyone around them indiscriminately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the high-ranking vampires weren’t spared—though the bat-monsters they became were surrounded by thick black mist. Several police officers who inhaled even a trace of it collapsed instantly, clutching their necks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick! Put on gas masks! Now!” Director George shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late—the officers who inhaled the mist began thrashing, their backs sprouting wings, transforming directly into mad bat-monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, vampire attacks carried infection, but transformation was slow; once detected, infected personnel were immediately removed from the battlefield for treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these officers instantly transformed into bat-like monsters, with no chance of rescue. Director George’s eyes turned red with rage as he roared: “Fire! Indiscriminate fire! Blow these monsters to pieces!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Man accelerated to full speed, dove, grabbed a bat-monster, and fired a shot into its head—but the creature didn’t stop struggling; it grew even more frenzied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re being controlled!” Stark said. “Damn it! Even headshots aren’t lethal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade’s voice crackled over the radio: “It’s the power of undeath. Burn them! Reduce them to ash—that’s the only way to kill them. Quick! Prepare flamethrowers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one had anticipated this turn—the flamethrower, an unconventional weapon, was not equipped by any combat unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mutated bats’ combat power surged dramatically. Headshots and heart-piercing no longer killed them. Their bodies grew larger, their strength increased, and they were utterly insane—fearless, relentless, only attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tide of battle reversed instantly. Humans were pushed back step by step; even Stark, surrounded by the frenzied bat-monsters, struggled to keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after being slammed by another bat, Stark roared: “JARVIS! Connect me to my lab at Stark Tower!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice answered: “I’m assisting Connor with research. What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manually deactivate the highest-level security protocol,” Stark said grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you sure? Didn’t you say to wait until the battle reached utter desperation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s already utter desperation.” Stark watched more and more humans transform into bat-monsters—the horde blotted out nearly all moonlight. “Do it now! Cost is no longer a concern!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xieler held the phone, walked to a hatch in the lab, entered the password Stark had given him, stepped inside, and found only a single lever. He pressed his hand on the screen; after two beeps, he yanked the lever down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a lighthouse-like beam began rotating atop Stark Tower. The weapon storage hatch on the top floor opened, and dozens of armored units carrying heavy weaponry launched outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, two massive steel monsters stepped out—one resembled the one once piloted by Obadiah, the other bore resemblance to General Johnson’s tentacled steel beast, yet clearly had been modified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two giant machines stepped from the roof of Stark Tower to another rooftop, then raced toward the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the arrival of the two giant armors, the brutal battle eased slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These steel monsters were large enough to engage both ground and air targets; grabbing a bat-monster allowed them to tear it apart. Moreover, the one Obadiah once piloted carried a built-in flamethrower, eliminating many frenzied bats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the tide began to turn, more vampires flooded into the battlefield—as if their commander had deliberately chosen this moment. These new arrivals were instantly bathed in red light, transforming into even more frenzied bat-monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Iron Man and his armor units were forced to retreat temporarily. Connor received Stark’s call; Stark said: “Connor, when will your support arrive? We’re about to collapse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter held a test tube and said: “Doctor, I think we’re almost there—this serum should temporarily nullify the vampires’ regeneration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct—but only if we inflict effective damage within the serum’s duration. That means we must first reclaim the ground.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter looked up at Connor and saw him pull out a syringe. Peter said: “Wait… Doctor… what’s that? That can’t be…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, Stark dove, tore off a bat’s wing, and blood splattered onto his armor. He cursed: “Damn it! So filthy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, the bat’s wing began regrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve was nearly buried under a pile of bats; he strained to hold his shield, smashing one bat far away—but it returned moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawkeye hid behind a bridge ruin, rapidly drawing and firing arrows, his arms trembling. The Shockwave Woman hammered the ground, sending approaching bats flying. Natasha, from behind, used binoculars to provide tactical support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Iron Man! Fall back! They…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Natasha finished shouting, Stark was tackled by a much larger bat. Its fangs sank into his left arm; sparks flew. Stark roared: “Activate electric shock!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful current surged—the bat went rigid. Stark broke free, but before his armor could lift off, the bat chased after him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind from its wings destabilized his armor; he was about to be tackled again when Steve swung his shield, striking the bat’s wing. The bat wobbled. Stark seized the chance to climb higher. “Thanks!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Behind you!” Steve shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark turned just as a violent gust struck him—a bat had been lying in wait nearby. He dodged, but it was too close. Stark said: “Initiate ejection! Then self-destruct the armor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ejecting now would put you at extreme altitude risk,” JARVIS said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark’s peripheral vision caught Steve on the ground. He said: “Eject! Now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure was ejected from the armor; the suit erupted in blinding electricity, then exploded. Two bats were blasted away—one reduced to charred ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Book of Deceiving Kangxi\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve leaped, caught Stark, and set him down on the ground. Before Stark could speak, both felt a massive shadow loom over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned—and Stark swore: “Shit! What the hell is that?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them stood a giant green monster, over ten meters tall, crushing the fleeing bat beneath its foot into pulp. A lizard-like beast the size of a mountain leaned down, its vertical pupils fixed on Stark, its tongue flicking as it spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your reinforcements have arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————Author’s Note————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten thousand characters today!
