Chapter 182 The Darkness Under the Lights

In the hospital, the situation was not much different from what Ash had imagined. Devlin was indeed in the observation room of the emergency department, and there was nothing else other than occupying a bed.

Fortunately, the command vehicle was escorted by a small combat unit, and under the threat of guns and uniforms, the area was quickly cleared.

"Jimmy, can you turn around? I have something to ask him."

Ash said to Jimmy who was standing by the bed, although Jimmy was very curious about how Ash would ask a person who was obviously in a coma at the moment, but he obediently turned his back.

A miraculous light belonging to the Church of Kalim appeared in Ash's hands. This kind of miracle, which can be taught without discrimination, is suitable for an agent like Devlin who does dirty work.

In the milky white light, Devlin, who had been in a coma for an unknown period of time, finally woke up.

Ash had watched Devlin's eye roll under that eyelid, but couldn't see Devlin's eye open.

"Okay, it's me. Since you are awake, open your eyes, there is no one else now."

Hearing Ash's words, Devlin slowly opened his eyes and scanned the surrounding environment.

Moving a distance towards the head of the bed, Devlin leaned against the head of the bed and asked, "How long have I been in a coma?"

Ash pointed his back, and Jimmy, who was listening to the conversation with his ears open, said, "I don't know! Until today, your little brother found me, and he still relied on the reckless behavior of rushing into the military blockade."

Looking at Jimmy's ears that resisted not turning around and wanted to listen to the gossip, Ash said helplessly: "Okay Jimmy, you can turn around now. Devlin has something to ask you."

"Mr. Devlin has been in a coma for 32 days, um, as of today."

Jimmy counted the days from the day of the car accident to today.

Devlin saw Jimmy's clothes and asked, "Jimmy, are you wearing my clothes?"

Hearing Devlin's question, Jimmy was a little embarrassed and at a loss, lowered his head and said, "Yes, Mr. Devlin, I'll take it off and return it to you."

"No, Jimmy, remember what I told you? The remaining ten percent is in your heart. I have the same set of clothes in your closet. Can you bring them for me?"

Jimmy Tang, hearing Devlin's words, said in surprise: "Okay, Mr. Devlin, I'll bring it to you right away, don't worry, I'm driving fast."

After Jimmy finished speaking, he rushed out of the door, causing a flurry of panic in the hospital along the way.

"You just gave it to him. You must know that Lasseter has been greedy for your equipment for a long time."

Ash's words were full of ridicule. Hearing Ash complain about Russell, Devlin shook his head with a smile and said, "I gave Russell a set, but he kept hiding it and never wore it."

After finishing speaking, Devlin asked Ash in a low voice with a serious face, "Ash, I found out a big thing, do you know about vampires?"

vampire?Isn't that what Ash is cleaning up?Why did Devlin mention this group of things again?

"I found out that a group of vampires, relying on their Hagui brothers, were planning to release some kind of virus by drinking water, but I didn't find out what was the reason."

Hearing Devlin's information, Ash was a little confused, launching a virus?Isn't it summoning the blood god?Why is it different from your own information?
"You mean, vampires are going to put viruses in drinking water?"

With Ash's unconvinced skepticism, Devlin hurriedly explained: "Yes, they bypassed the CDC's detection system and used insect water striders to drop them at the end..."

Devlin's eager explanation made Ash interrupt him and said: "Stop, I understand what you mean, but the news here is that vampires are going to use their vampire bible "Book of Erebus" to summon the blood god ..."

Ash introduced the situation he had investigated to Devlin. After the two sides communicated, they found that the other party's information was completely different from their own.

The only point where these two things intersect is that the object of investigation is a vampire.

"And my side has reached the last moment. The vampire may have obtained the last fragment of Summoning the Blood God."

After explaining his current actions to Devlin, Ash also wondered if he had also forgotten something.

But in this ward, Devlin and Ash didn't come up with any key information when Jimmy Tang brought a new tuxedo.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he could only take one step at a time. After changing his clothes, Devlin dialed the number of his subordinates, planning to forcibly arrest the drinking water producer Dietrich Banning, to see if he could What useful information was obtained from him.

As for Ash, he continued to clean up the vampires, compressed their living space, and forced them to gather in the center, and then the two sides worked together to kill this group of restless guys in one go.

After the two sides agreed on the goals and their respective mission responsibilities, they parted at the hospital gate.

When Ash returned to the front line, he found that more than half of the cleaning work had been completed, and most of the vampire gathering places on the note Martha gave had been cleaned up by the Control Bureau.

But in these cleared vampire gathering places, there is no human blood bag. This kind of thing that is completely unreasonable for vampires makes Whistler's brows close together.

The mission went smoothly and was obstructed. The operation of clearing the house to kill the vampire was extremely smooth. Most of the vampires left behind were cannon fodder with little combat experience. Any news of value.

Such actions continued until the end of the day without any progress.

After the last vampire gathering place was cleaned up, Ash scratched his head a little annoyed.

Things are completely different now, the vampires who have been cleaned up have no reaction, even their mouthpiece, the Hagui clan, has no public opinion on this behavior of cleaning up their boss.

Even on the Internet, except for the video of the control bureau's actions taken by some people who eat melons standing outside the blockade, no positive or negative news has spread.

The atmosphere was terribly oppressive. Ash could only let the soldiers rest on the spot and resupply ammunition. He did not intend to let the fighters of the Control Bureau leave the central area of ​​NY and return to Long Island.

And now, there is no clue about the whereabouts of the blade display. Whistler has tortured several vampires to death now, just to ask about the whereabouts of his disciples.

Everyone was blindfolded and couldn't hear any news.

Just then, Ash's phone rang, it was the writer Cassel.

"Cassel, I'm busy. Our entertainment night is tomorrow night. Don't worry, I won't miss it. I can even bring Stark, who has taken advantage of me, and let him lose everything at the poker table..."

Ash's tone was a little impatient, but fortunately Stark was not by his side, otherwise, Ash would have been punched more or less.

"No... Ash is not about this matter, I have important information, you may be useful."

Cassel's intelligence?From the various dramas in the previous life, Kassel can indeed see different news, which brings a different way of solving problems to Beckett's investigation.

Now Cassell says he has important information, which gets Ash interested.

"I'm on patrol with Beckett today. You have to know that today is her patrol day in the police station. The police detectives who are on vacation will take over the work of the patrol police officers, so that they don't forget their previous grassroots work..."

"Kassel! This is the important information you mentioned?!?"

"No, no, of course not. In one block, Beckett didn't receive any calls to the police all day today, and even the entire police station didn't receive related calls to the police. This block was a crime-prone area before..."

Ash was suddenly enlightened at the moment, and the situation was dark under the lights without other people pointing it out, so it was not easy for anyone to get out.

The vampires occupied a block, gathered most of their manpower, and sealed off the place. They only left two or three small characters in the previous scattered gathering places, so that people could not get relevant information, and the cleanup personnel wanted to be safe. Just in case these enclaves cannot simply be abandoned.

And because of the particularity of vampires, anyone who is sucked by a vampire will become his lackey. Although the lower the level, the weaker the vampire's ability is, but as long as he becomes his own ghost, who cares about those little things, it's a big deal Let the vampires at the bottom work harder and eat more. Anyway, these little brothers are eager to improve their lives.

"Cassel, you really helped a lot!"

After trying to understand the reason, Ash re-ordered the troops to start moving towards the location provided by Kassel.

As soon as he entered this community, the vampire taught Ash a lesson.

IED, Improvised Explosive Device, is simply a roadside bomb.Create simple, powerful explosive devices.Usually a form of asymmetric warfare.

This method of guerrilla warfare was used on Ash. The leading Stryker wheeled armored vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb.

The 19-ton combat vehicle was turned over from the side, with its feet in the air, and fell to the side of the road.

Violent smoke and dust covered the entire road at the same time, and the heat and smoke from the explosion also hindered the observation of infrared equipment and heat sources.

The simplest explosion can block the progress of an entire team.Fortunately, only the front car was affected by the explosion. If the middle of the convoy was attacked, the entire team would be in a state of being overwhelmed.

In the communication channel, the soldiers in the lead vehicle were still reporting their own situation. The AMPV tracked armored personnel carrier following the lead vehicle used the R800S remote control weapon station on its head to tentatively drop 30mm ammunition into the smoke.

Under Ash's order, all fighters regarded this place as a war zone, and there were no war zones for civilians.

Since it is a battle, the firepower must be projected fiercely, and indiscriminate bombing is the right way to make the enemy unable to hold their heads up. No one wants to have a tactical interlude with those fast-moving vampires.

The sound of roadside bombs woke up the entire sleeping NY, and the firelight in the night accompanied by the roar of 30mm automatic guns woke up those who slept early.

A few blocks away, Devlin's operation is coming to an end. They are now stopping at the private residence of drinking water producer Dietrich Banning, looking for him.

"Lasseter, blow up this place for me, didn't you hear? Ash has already started using 105mm long-range howitzers!"

All the people present silently accelerated their movements, only Jimmy Tang, who followed the scene for the first time, was a little at a loss.

"I found it, here it is!"

A search agent found a hidden combination lock next to the swimming pool.The rest then brought their decoders, plugged them in and waited for the results.

In the sound of gunfire not far away, the swimming pool was slowly opened from the bottom, and a staircase extended down into the darkness.

Devlin sneered and said, "Play with me, where is the fire truck, it's time for you to play!"

A fire truck requisitioned from Ash, loaded with garlic essence, parked beside the swimming pool.

The fire hose was thrown directly into the darkness along the stairs, as if someone made a suspicious sound in the darkness.

"Disinfect this group of ignorant things!"
