Chapter 118 Anemia

   "Boss, something is not quite right." While Josie and Colonel Ward were drinking wine and commenting on the prisoners, Ophelia suddenly came to Josie and said.

   "What's the matter?" Josie asked, and Colonel Ward beside him was also a little strange. Could it be that this woman still wants to avenge the prisoners of war or something?

   "We found that the prisoners of war here have large-scale anemia." Ophelia said.

  Josie and Colonel Ward were speechless for a moment.

   "You don't know the situation in this prisoner-of-war camp. Isn't anemia strange?" Josie smiled apologetically at Colonel Ward, and then whispered to Ophelia.

  As he said, there is no food or clothing in this prisoner-of-war camp. Is it strange that you are anemic?

"Of course it's strange, boss. Even if you don't have enough food or clothing, it should be mainly malnutrition, not anemia. These are two different things!" Seeing that Josie misunderstood what she meant, Ophelia immediately explained road.

   Now it was Josie and Colonel Ward's turn to be confused.

  Anemia and malnutrition, is there a difference?

"Malnutrition may indeed cause anemia, but it is not inevitable, and I have asked, most of these prisoners of war have not been locked up for a long time, and the military does not completely deny them food. For some For a healthy person, it should not be to the extent of anemia... But the current situation is that the scale of the anemia has exceeded the normal range." Ophelia explained again.

   Now Josie understood, but why did this happen? Could it be that the garrison guards in this camp still sell the blood of prisoners?

  But Josie looked at Colonel Ward at the side, but found that he also looked confused.

"By the way, I have another discovery!" Seeing the bewildered expressions of the two, Ophelia ran back to the line of female prisoners, and quickly directed two soldiers to pull a naked female prisoner in front of them. Then he pointed at the stamina of the woman, "Look here!"

  Josie and Colonel Ward looked along the position she pointed, but found two small hole-shaped blood scabs.

   "This...is it a vampire bat?" Colonel Ward couldn't help muttering when he saw the wound.

   "Colonel Ward has seen a vampire bat?" Josie was taken aback and asked involuntarily.

   "Of course, I'm from Texas. There are indeed such things there, but they are not very common. I just didn't expect that they are also available in Germany. Haha, maybe this is the origin of the vampire legend!" Colonel Ward said with a smile.

  However, Josie looked at Colonel Ward with strange eyes.

   "Uh... what's wrong?" Josie looked at Colonel Ward a little strangely.

"Colonel Ward, it's true that there are vampire bats in Central America, and there are also vampire bats in Africa, but there are indeed no vampire bats in Europe. They only live in the tropics, and they can't adapt to the environment in Germany, let alone such a big winter. —In addition, the legend of vampires has nothing to do with vampire bats." Josie shook his head and said.

   "What's going on? Could it be that the vampire really did it?" Colonel Ward sneered, but then he saw Josie's extremely serious face, and his face couldn't help but slowly changed.

   "Ophelia, you have been in Europe for so many years, have you heard of the existence of vampires?" Josie did not answer Colonel Ward, but asked Ophelia.

  That's right, if it was in the original world, Josie might be the same as Colonel Ward, and would not take the legend of vampires too seriously.

  But what Josie is in now is not the ordinary world of his previous life, but the Marvel world.

  Although there are no vampires in the Avengers series, it does not mean that there are no vampires.

  The most famous is the Blade Warrior series—although this series does not belong to the Avengers series, it does not mean that it is impossible to appear.

  In addition to the Blade series, Mobius, the night doctor who also belongs to Marvel, can also be regarded as a different kind of vampire.

  And judging from Josie's previous experience, this world is likely to be a Marvel world that incorporates many movies and TV dramas he knows or doesn't know.

  This also means that it is not impossible for vampires to appear in works such as four hundred years of vampire horror, the first year of Dracula, legends of the night, and Twilight.

   To be honest, Josie would welcome it if it was a vampire like Blade Warrior or Underworld, because they are all weak chickens that can be killed with technology.

  But if it’s the Four Hundred Years of Thriller, Dracula’s First Year, or Twilight… Josie thinks it’s better for him to return to the United States as soon as possible.

"As for the rumors, I have heard of them. Although I am an Austrian, I was actually born in Hungary. There are indeed some similar legends there, and there are also Romania, but in Austria, I don't seem to have heard of it. In addition, before the defeat of Hydra , When the Red Skull sent Reinhardt to collect supernatural items, it seems that he also investigated these two countries, but I don’t know if there is any gain.” Ofelia tilted her head after thinking for a while and replied.

"Mr. Kahn, you don't really think there are vampires, do you?" Hearing what Ophelia said, Colonel Ward couldn't help asking with a dry smile. To be honest, seeing Josie's serious expression, he was a little scared. up.

   "Colonel Ward, what are you so afraid of?" Josie felt a little strange seeing Ward's appearance.

Josie thinks that there may be vampires in this world. It is because he is a time traveler, so he speculates about the situation in this world. However, Ward, an ordinary army officer, should have no reason to believe in the existence of such things so easily. ah.

"Ahem, Mr. Kahn, to be honest, when I was young in Texas, I really saw some strange things, so there are some things that I would rather believe." Colonel Ward said with a slightly dignified face, "So Do you think there is really such a thing as a vampire in this matter?"

  Hearing what Colonel Ward said, Josie couldn't help but suddenly realized, no wonder, it turned out that he had encountered weird things when he was a child.

  Speaking of which, Texas is also considered to be a high-occurrence place for supernatural events in various film and television dramas in the United States. Colonel Ward said that he has seen it, which makes sense.

"It's hard to say. After all, it can't be ruled out that someone is playing tricks. Without investigation, you have no right to speak..." Josie shook his head and said, "But I don't think you need to worry too much, Colonel Ward, at least from the current situation. It was just to attack these female prisoners, and it was very measured, and it didn't cause death, and I don't think this happened to your soldiers, right?"

   "I have to ask the officers under me, but at least so far, I haven't heard of any soldier suffering from malnutrition or anemia... Well, there are quite a few waist sprains." Colonel Ward shook his head.

  Waist sprain...I'm afraid it's not due to kidney deficiency! Josie couldn't help but twitched her cheeks when she heard Colonel Ward's words.

   Considering the virtues of these American soldiers, facing these helpless female prisoners in the camp, it would be a ghost if they could control their lower body.

   You don’t even need to use force, just a little food is enough for these women to serve with all their heart.

   "Let's not talk about this, continue to choose candidates. I will talk to General Eisenhower about this matter, but I think he may not believe it." Josie shook his head and said.

  There are too many people in the Rhine Camp. Even if there are vampires, Josie and his staff can't do anything.

"Mr. Kahn, if there is such a thing, is there any way to deal with it? Garlic? Cross? Holy water? Silver?" Colonel Ward also understands that in the absence of real evidence for such a thing, those senior generals probably He wouldn't believe it, but he couldn't be defenseless himself.

"Colonel Ward, I'm just skeptical. In fact, I haven't actually seen that thing. I just guessed that those things might exist for some special reasons. So are the things you said useful? I don't know, if you have the conditions, you can naturally prepare some, but in my opinion, if there are really vampires, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers may be more effective than the things you said." Listen. When it came to Colonel Ward's words, Josie couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly, and then said.

   Regardless of whether there were vampires or not, as long as the other party didn't provoke him, Josie didn't want to get involved. At most, he mentioned this to Eisenhower. As for whether the other party believed it or not, it was none of Josie's business.

   It's just that Josie seems to overlook a point.

  Josie is not interested in vampires, and it is unlikely that the top military officials believe it, but it does not mean that other people are not interested in this matter.
