The tall woman stood on the lawn, looking up at the rising sun in the east, her face full of trance.
She used to hate every sunrise because it heralded the beginning of a new journey into hell. Every day, humans were mercilessly killed by vampires; every day, humans could not bear such horror and turned themselves into monsters.
The woman was very aware that the world was sinking and being destroyed, collapsing from the inside out, and no one was able to reverse it.
Nineteen years ago, her father believed that he would one day kill all vampires. But she, who inherited his legacy, dared not even think about what the future would hold.
When she closed her eyes, she could only see a bloody hell in her mind; when she opened her eyes, she was faced with darkness in reality.
She knew that this world was beyond saving.
But now, the world is telling her with overwhelming force—there is hope! Miracles still exist! Believe in yourself, believe in the future!
The woman walked into the warm sunshine, facing the gentle morning breeze, tears streaming down her face. Only then did she hear an anxious cry in her ear: "Jindou, Jindou? Are you okay? Answer me quickly if you can hear me!"
"Master, I'm still here, I'm fine!" the tall woman replied quickly.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was an explosion in the Crystal Castle. A big hole was blown open in the floor of the banquet hall. Someone standing at the bottom of the hole threw a grenade upwards, followed by another explosion.
When Jindou ran into the banquet hall, X had already crawled out of the cave with a dozen fully armed team members, looking around in amazement.
"Fuck, a bomb made from a bird's beak is so awesome? Just one bomb can kill hundreds of vampires?" X murmured in disbelief.
"They were not killed by bombs, but by the sun." Jindou caught the backpack thrown by a team member and hid behind the curtains to change clothes.
X looked around with his gun pointed, and said in horror, "Are they all sunburned to death? Isn't it said that the new generation of vampires are not afraid of the sun?"
"I don't know either! As soon as the sun came out, they all exploded. Oh, and a young man in his early twenties ran in and took Okar and a female vampire away. I didn't see his face clearly. He seemed to be prepared just like us and came in at the right time. The explosion will attract nearby vampires, so let's go quickly."
Jindou quickly put on a camouflage uniform.
X tossed her a gun and quickly explained, "When we reached the end of the tunnel following Emile's map, we discovered that Heinrich had blocked the entrance. We had to rig a temporary charge to blow it open, so we were a little late getting to you. Are you okay?"
"No, these vampires were just madly drinking the blood in the pool and didn't pay any attention to us." Jindou walked past the pool of blood, pointed at the licked-clean bottom, and explained, "Look, this pool was originally filled with blood."
"Get up, get up, don't faint! The vampires are coming, why don't you run?" Jindou slapped the faces of the girls who fainted on the ground.
The girls woke up one after another.
"Take her, her, her...don't worry about anything else." Jindou said, pointing at the seven girls.
Without asking a single question, X and his team each carried a girl and quickly ran to the top floor of the Prince's Palace. Outside, the roar of propellers could be heard; the helicopter that was supposed to pick them up had arrived.
"Wait, save us! You can't leave!" The remaining twelve girls wanted to catch up, but their bodies were too weak to run.
Jindou smashed a glass cabinet with his fist, pulled out a few car keys from a rotten drawer, and threw them to the girls: "Take the keys and go to the garage. Whether you can escape depends on you."
"No! You must save us, you are our companion!" a girl screamed in a shrill voice.
To provide the prince with the best possible dining experience, twenty girls were locked together and subjected to a twenty-day body cleansing. Their food and drinks were carefully selected. They ate, lived, and slept together, and had known each other for a long time.
"Bah, I don't want to be your companion! The seven of them were sold here by their families, and you signed up voluntarily. Don't you want to become monsters? Well, there are monsters everywhere outside now, and they will give you a chance." Jindou quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
She hated vampires, but she hated humans even more for not uniting to fight the enemy but betraying themselves and even their compatriots.
If everyone could stand up and resist, the world would not be like this.
The twelve girls rushed to the top floor breathlessly, only to find that Jindou and the others had already left in a helicopter.
"They are still standing there stupidly, not even knowing how to run. I really want to jump down and slap each of them." Jindou lowered her head and looked down.
"Don't go down. Our helicopter can't carry so many people." X said coldly.
Finally, the twelve girls started running. They went back to the living room, picked up some clothes and put them on, went to the garage, drove out five cars, and rushed into the street.
The nobles living in this neighborhood all gathered at the Prince's Palace last night to participate in the carnival, and now it has become a pool of minced meat.
Their servants and bodyguards hadn't made any movement yet. A few vampires had escaped from different mansions, but they all looked terrified and had no intention of chasing the girls.
Jindou observed the neighborhood through the hovering helicopter.
"Master, something is wrong here! There was an explosion in the Prince's Mansion, but the nearby vampires didn't even come out to check what happened. Are they all dead too?" she guessed.
"I don't care whether they live or die. I just know that this castle must be reduced to ruins today!" X took out the remote control and pressed the detonator.
The next moment, the entire prince's palace exploded into a sea of fire with a loud roar.
Such a commotion should have attracted all the surrounding vampires, but it didn't. The vampires that rushed out from the various noble mansions were only a few scattered, and the usual full-scale outburst was completely absent.
"One, two, three, four..." Jindou counted the vampires standing on the street and said in disbelief, "Only seventeen vampires have escaped from this area. Look at their clothes, they are all servants' uniforms or work clothes. None of the high-ranking vampires noticed them. What's going on?"
Jindou was confused.
X also found it more and more strange.
They didn't know that only high-ranking vampires were entitled to the blood produced by Zhuang Li, while low-ranking vampires could only hide in their servants' rooms, drooling over the aroma. This was the reason they survived.
"Never mind, let's go first. The army is coming out soon." X gave up exploring and ordered the driver to leave this dangerous place.
Not long after they left, the police issued a global wanted notice online and on television. The death of Prince Okar, who ruled China, was a major news story that shocked the world.
How could a vampire be killed by a bomb? This is unbelievable!
What’s even more terrifying is that on the day of the explosion, all of China’s noblest vampires gathered at the Prince’s Mansion for a banquet, and they all died!
Aren't they immortal? Aren't they invulnerable even to nuclear bombs?
When the people saw the news, they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces, and then their eyes turned red with pretended sorrow. However, when they lowered their heads, each of them was laughing in their hearts.
Some people were unable to suppress their ecstasy and could only cover their faces and pretend to cry.
It's so sad, they are so sad! Which crazy bastard did this?
However, although they were secretly happy, the people knew very well that the nobles were dead, but the traitors who were transformed into vampires by the nobles and helped the nobles oppress and harm their fellow humans were still alive.
They occupy important positions in the Chinese leadership and are the ones who truly rule this country. They will immediately replace Okar and other nobles and become the new nobles.
In the end, the world hasn't changed much. Vampires, like cancer cells, are spreading everywhere and must be killed.
Only by killing them all can the world be saved.
The people's ecstasy was soon replaced by deeper anger and powerlessness as the leadership began to mobilize troops across the city to capture those who killed Prince Okar.
It is said that the terrorist attack was planned by an organization called "Six Days". Anyone who can provide clues about "Six Days" will receive a reward of 100 million.
The vast majority of the soldiers in the army were humans. Under the oppressive rule of the vampires, they became a group of jackals who only knew how to turn their guns on their own people. They launched a comprehensive search, ready to eradicate the "Six Suns" completely.
X, who was watching the live news in front of the TV, cursed angrily, "Fuck him! If I were a soldier, I would have led the army to defeat the vampires long ago!"
"The vampires understand too well the principle of capturing the leader first. They just need to kill you, the troublemaker, and promote a few traitors, and the other soldiers will listen to them obediently." Jindou said unhappily.
Emile, wearing a white dress, raised her index finger and shushed the two of them. She needed to analyze the current situation through the news reports.
While the city was under martial law, making it difficult for even flies to fly in or out, Zhuang Li's "Fountain of Life" was a huge hit among the vampire community. However, no one cared about the sales of a single drink; everyone was focused on finding Liu Ri.
X's cell phone rang. He looked at the number and answered it with a pout.
"Dear old friend, you have impressed me this time. How did you blow up those hundreds of high-level vampires? Can you teach me? Also, what means did you use to paralyze the city's surveillance system? Did you crack their password?" The person on the other side chattered incessantly, trying to find out the situation.
"Bird's Beak, I didn't blow up Okar and those nobles. They were already dead when I got there! I escaped by helicopter, and I wasn't the one who paralyzed the surveillance system on the street." X said frankly.
Nineteen years ago, he and the other party were comrades-in-arms, and they had been through life and death together. Now they are still fighting for the same goal, so there is nothing to hide between them.
"How could that be?" Bird's beak's joking tone turned into astonishment.
"It's true. I'm sharing an insider tip. I suspect the person who orchestrated this attack wasn't anyone from our temple, but a young man in his early twenties. Did you know he single-handedly took down hundreds of vampires? Let me show you the chat log."
X sent the chat history between himself and Zhuang Li to Bird's Mouth and said in awe: "He told me that he would kill Okar and his minions on the night of the blood moon, and then he succeeded.
"No weapons were used, and he didn't even show up. He killed hundreds of vampires without anyone noticing. He really did what he said. He entered the Prince's Palace at daybreak. Jindou saw him and swaggered away Okar and a female vampire. So Okar didn't die at all."
beak:"!!!"
"Hahahaha..." Bird's Beak laughed heartily and sighed, "Are you sure he's only in his early twenties? If that's the case, then we have a successor?"
"Yes, we have a successor." X also said happily: "I will take the blame for him! I have lived to be 63 years old, which is enough!"
He was ready to help Zhuang Li attract all the firepower and sacrifice himself for it.
His daughter Emile turned her head away and wiped the slightly red corners of her eyes, but did not say a word to stop him.
His apprentice, Jindou, was silently cleaning his gun, a sneer on his face. "Die, die. No big deal."
However, Zhuang Li, who was protected by all of them, didn't appreciate their kindness. He set up a camera, connected to the Chinese network, hijacked all channels, and began his own live broadcast declaring war on vampires.
