Sarah choked.

"Eat slowly!" Cao'er was so scared that she patted Sarah's back.

Sarah coughed a few times and then continued to eat, as if she had never eaten before. Holding a bowl of cooked blood stew, Aunt Li knew Sarah's taste, so she added a lot of chili peppers. The bright red bowl of pig's blood and duck's blood made everyone present terrified.

Except for Zou Ming and Chen Shu, no one, including Ye Zhou, eats spicy food.

Ye Zhou didn't like it, but Aunt Li and the others had never eaten it before and could only accept a little bit of spiciness. Adding four dried chilies to stir-fried potato shreds would make them cry and have runny noses.

Ye Zhou didn't have much appetite as he ate too much before going to bed last night, so he went to make Sarah a cup of milk tea.

Although Sarah couldn't taste the milk tea, she could smell it.

He still remembered that Sarah liked the original flavor, so he mixed it with some boiled water after boiling it, and the temperature was just right, a little hot, but just right for drinking. After drinking it, his stomach and whole body felt warm.

Sarah ate three large bowls of blood stew, put down her bowl and chopsticks with a feeling of satisfaction but fear, and shrank her neck without moving.

Everyone was looking at her, and she thought she had done something wrong.

Whenever so many people looked at her together, she knew she was going to be tortured again.

Otherwise, those people wouldn't even think of her, nor would they want to take a second look at her.

She didn't know these people, but she could feel that they had no ill will towards her.

Their eyes were gentle, even with some pity. Sarah was not angry at these pitying looks. Pity is also kindness, and is always better than malice.

"Drink it." Ye Zhou put the milk tea in front of Sarah.

He didn’t use the original packaging of the milk tea, but put it in a cup so that Sarah could taste the aroma.

Sarah looked at the cup of milk tea, smelled the fragrance, and looked up at Ye Zhou cautiously. Her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say a word.

"You can't sleep alone yet." Ye Zhou didn't care whether she replied or not. He smiled and said, "Cao'er will take care of you. You can tell anyone if you need anything."

Wu Yan immediately responded, "Yes, yes, yes, just tell us what you want, and we'll give it to you as much as we can."

Wu Yan never forgot that it was Sarah who saved him from dying at the hands of those soldiers and bandits.

I never had the chance to repay this life-saving favor before, but now I finally have the chance.

Although they didn't understand why the older Sarah left and the younger Sarah came.

But since they couldn't figure it out, they simply stopped thinking about it.

Under everyone's earnest concern, Sarah could only hold the milk tea cup and drink it in small sips, but she still shrank her neck, with all her muscles tense, as if she was ready to jump out at any time.

After dinner, Cao'er took Sarah to choose clothes. There were not many styles of clothes in the supermarket, but it was enough for Sarah.

Cao'er basically chose dresses for Sarah. After all, she remembered that her sister Sarah's favorite thing to wear was skirts. However, compared with Sarah's own skirts, the dresses sold in the supermarket were so rough that they were unbearable to look at.

Sarah was led by Cao'er, and she did not struggle, like a doll that could be dressed up by anyone. She only asked when Cao'er was comparing the last skirt with her: "Why did you save me?"

Cao'er stopped, not knowing how to explain. After a long while, she said, "Because you are very important to us."

Sarah asked calmly, "You are all human. Do you want to find the reason for immortality from me?"

"I can't give you the First Embrace. I'm a half-blood and don't have the ability to give someone the First Embrace. If you get bit by me, you'll die."

Cao'er suddenly reached out and rubbed Sarah's head - she had wanted to do this for a long time, but had never dared to.

Sarah was also stunned. She raised her head. Cao'er withdrew her hand and coughed lightly: "Do you want to go to sleep for a while? Or watch cartoons?"

Sarah was confused and asked, "What is a cartoon?"

Cao'er didn't know how to explain it, so she just said, "You'll understand when you see it."

So Sarah was pulled into the lounge by Cao'er, who not only gave her a chili-flavored lollipop, but also some fried chilies that she could eat as snacks. After everything was ready, Cao'er stayed in the lounge with Sarah to watch TV.

Ye Zhou, Zou Ming, Chen Shu and others were standing at the entrance of the supermarket.

"What should we do now?" Chen Shu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket after listening to Ye Zhou's statement.

Ye Zhou glanced at her, a little curious: "Do you still smoke?"

Chen Shu: "I don't smoke often, but occasionally, if you guys mind I'll hold it in my mouth."

Ye Zhou waved his hand: "You can smoke it, we are not in the supermarket. Just don't smoke it in the supermarket. Remember to put it out before throwing it away, don't cause a forest fire."

Chen Shu nodded, and she asked again: "So we can't do business with that town now, and the farmers around us don't have the purchasing power, so it's very likely that we won't be able to do business? Then why don't we reduce the size of the supermarket and find a place where we can do business?"

Ye Zhou shook his head slightly: "I have used a drone to check this area. Only this town is relatively wealthy. Other towns are very poor."

He originally thought that even if the living conditions of ordinary civilians in other towns could not compare with that of this vampire town, at least they would not be worse than those of the nearby farmers. As a result, compared with these ordinary towns, the vampire town was really exceptionally good.

The roads were wide and smooth, and there were tracts of land outside the city. With the explanation of the ox-horned man, Ye Zhou also learned that the residents in the town did not have to pay taxes when cultivating the farmland outside the city next to the town, and could even get seeds for free.

Although many townspeople could only barely defraud their fellow countrymen or travelers enough to keep them in the town, they were able to make a good living by farming.

Vampires also buy the townspeople's handicrafts and crops and redistribute them.

"They are quite good at sustainable development." Zhou Yuanhe laughed. "Coercion will only lead to resistance, but as long as they become a community of interests, this alliance will be indestructible."

Chen Shu nodded: "But in this way..."

She thought about it and said, "I still haven't figured out how we're going to make money now."

Without a customer base, no matter how many or how good their products are, they won’t be able to sell them and won’t be able to command a high price.

Moreover, this place is too close to the vampire town. If they sell goods to nearby farmers, the news will immediately reach the ears of the vampires.

Ye Zhou: "That's why I came to discuss this with you."

Zou Ming said: "Let's take down that town."

Everyone looked at Zou Ming. Zou Ming did not realize how shocking his words were. He remained calm and composed: "Once we take it, we can use this town as a base and attract nearby civilians to come and do business."

Ye Zhou was silent for a while: "What about the people in the town?"

Ye Zhou had no resistance to killing vampires. Even if he had not come into contact with the townspeople, he would not think that these accomplices of the evil were worthy of sympathy or should not be killed.

But he had come into contact with and even talked to the Horned Man, and was "taken care of" and "helped" by him.

Ye Zhou is in a complicated mood now. He knows in his heart that these townspeople have killed people. Even if they did not kill the people themselves, it is still difficult for him to equate these people with vampires.

He even hopes that the world is divided into black and white, good people are good and bad people are bad, so that he can have no psychological burden.

"Are all those who were deceived by them dead?" Ye Zhou suddenly asked, "They shouldn't be killed immediately, right?"

Ye Zhou: "They should raise those people. Some of them may die, but at least half of them will still be alive."

Otherwise, if we caught and killed one by one and could not continue to draw blood, the residents of the town would have suffered long ago.

Ye Zhou suddenly said: "It would be best if we can successfully rescue them. Then if we really want to attack this town, we can let them deal with the townspeople."

It is best to let the victim decide.

Zou Ming: "Chen Shu and I will go in again."

Ye Zhou immediately stopped him: "No, they definitely won't recruit any new members in the next few days. They should spend time investigating. If you go over now, they will definitely be suspicious."

He did not doubt Zou Ming and Chen Shu's abilities, but there was no need to rush head-on into some dangers if they could be avoided.

Zou Ming curled his lips, but quickly recovered: "Let's sneak in."

Chen Shu exclaimed, "Don't count me in. I don't know how to lurk. If you want to cause trouble, you can take me with you. As for lurking, forget it. I can't lurk."

"I'll go with you." Zhou Yuanhe suddenly said, "I want to see how vampires take blood."

"Maybe if we encounter someone whose life is in danger, we can save him if we treat him immediately."

Seeing that Zou Ming and Zhou Yuanhe had already agreed, Ye Zhou didn't object firmly, but he couldn't help but say, "It's too dangerous. There's no need to do it just to make money. We can go somewhere else. We're not in a hurry anyway."

As long as you find someone rich, you can dig out a bunch of them like digging potatoes.

Vampires are hateful, but Ye Zhou knows what is important. To him, the safety of Zou Ming and the others is more important than whether the vampires live or die.

"Forget it." Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Ye Zhou could only say, "I'll go to the system to find out if there is anything more effective and simple to deal with vampires."

After saying that, he looked at Zou Ming again.

Zou Ming also looked at him.

Ye Zhou sighed worriedly and walked into the supermarket.

Chen Shu nudged Zou Ming with his elbow and whispered, "The boss is concerned about you and is worried that something might happen to you."

Zou Ming stood aside, his eyebrows slightly raised: "I know."

Zhou Yuanhe suddenly said, "Sarah has been rescued, and the boss's attention will probably be on her, so that's why you said you wanted to go into that town again."

Zou Ming didn't say anything.

Zhou Yuanhe couldn't help but laugh at her: "You are really capable of competing for favor with a little girl."

Zou Ming frowned slightly: "She is not a little girl, she is an adult."

Zhou Yuanhe hesitated for a few seconds: "How old is she now?"

Zou Ming: "Around thirty years old."

Zhou Yuanhe: "...Indeed, she is not a little girl."

Chen Shu asked, "You haven't confronted your boss yet. How long do you want to wait?"

She gave Zou Ming a thumbs up: "After so many years, you are like this. If I were you, I would definitely not be able to hold back and would tell you everything within three days of meeting you."

Zou Ming didn't say anything.

Chen Shu suddenly said, "It's almost your turn."

"Leave here, it's your turn."

Zou Ming: “I know.”

He had been waiting for this day.

But when it was about to arrive, he had no expectations.

He didn't want to leave Ye Zhou even for a day.
