Chapter 88 The Sleeping Vampire
After a fruitful trip to Eniro, the two did not delay and boarded a flight to Europe early the next morning.
A new destination – Greece.
Unlike previous flights that lasted over ten hours, this flight was short, lasting only a little over two hours. The plane landed at the airport just as dawn was breaking.
Perhaps due to the continuous high-intensity operations, or perhaps due to the great gains made inside the pyramids, both of them felt a bit tired, their minds were somewhat agitated.
"Let's not rush out," Zhou Jue suggested. "Let's find a hotel, get some rest, and get ourselves back to our best condition."
Cheng Gan had no objection and nodded in agreement, recalling the map of Greece he had seen before.
On the map, the territory containing Greece is depicted with an eerie dark red glow. This is completely different from the dazzling silver-white of Japan and the fiery pure gold of Egypt.
This color gives people an ominous and eerie feeling.
Making thorough preparations when facing an unknown enemy is a quality ingrained in Cheng Gan's bones.
The two found a five-star hotel in the city center. As usual, they only relaxed completely after the system scan confirmed that it was safe.
Instead of ordering food as they had before, they drew the curtains and prepared to take a nap first.
Lying on the soft bed, Cheng Gan suddenly asked, "Xiao Jue, do you know about our relationship with Xila?"
"Hmm?" Zhou Jue was somewhat surprised, but still replied, "It should be...not bad, right? It seems to be an important partner in the 'Belt and Road' initiative?"
“That’s right.” Cheng Gan’s voice was steady: “We have a comprehensive strategic partnership with Greece. We have in-depth cooperation in all aspects and at multiple levels in the fields of economy, culture, and military. It can be said that Greece is a very important friend of ours in Europe.”
Zhou Jue immediately understood what Cheng Gan meant.
This is yet another friendly unit.
"Don't worry, Sister Cheng Gan, I know what I'm doing." Zhou Jue smiled.
"Our principle is: we don't steal our friends' treasures, we exchange them. We help fight our friends' enemies. If our friends have pests, we'll volunteer to be their pesticides."
As she spoke, she sat up, turned on the tablet again, and pointed to the dark red light.
"Brother Tongzi, take a closer look at this dark red energy reaction. What exactly is it?"
[Received. Deep scan in progress... Energy composition analysis in progress...]
The system's voice paused for a few seconds.
[Scan complete. High-density negative life energy detected in the target area. The energy source is... 13 'vampire lifeforms' in a deep dormant state.]
"A vampire life form?" Zhou Jue was taken aback. "What do you mean? Speak like a human."
[Commonly known as, vampire.]
"What the hell?! A vampire?" Zhou Jue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He then exchanged a glance with Cheng Gan, both seeing a hint of shock and absurdity in each other's eyes.
Vampires?!
Isn't this something that's just fiction in movies and novels?
"Brother Tongzi, are you kidding me?" Zhou Jue asked incredulously, "Isn't this a world of science? How come vampires have appeared?"
[The host's perception of the world is flawed.] The system's voice was flat, yet it revealed something that shattered the two people's worldviews.
[Blue Planet is not a purely scientific world. In ancient times, with abundant energy and relaxed laws, countless supernatural beings such as gods, demons, ghosts, monsters, and spirits were born. Many of the creatures and deities recorded in ancient Chinese classics such as the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* and *Investiture of the Gods*, as well as angels, demons, dragons, elves, and vampires from Western legends, actually existed.]
However, as time passed, the laws governing Earth underwent fundamental changes. Energy became increasingly scarce, and the environment became unsuitable for extraordinary life. The vast majority of extraordinary beings either perished in the course of history or chose to self-seal, entering a state of 'hibernation' to resist the erosion of the laws.
[Warning: Given the current strength of Earth's laws, any extraordinary being that forcibly awakens will be unable to adapt to the environment, causing its power to rapidly dissipate within a short period, ultimately leading to its complete demise.]
These words struck Zhou Jue like a thunderclap.
It turns out that myths are not legends, but simply forgotten history!
After calming down, Zhou Jue raised a new question: "Since these vampires are all asleep and will die on their own when they wake up, is it still necessary for us to care about them? Besides, this is a friend's house. If we take action, it will be too loud and difficult to explain."
She was still a little intimidated by these creatures she had only seen in movies, and felt they were very eerie.
[Host, there are three reasons why I suggest you eliminate these dormant vampires.]
The system's voice carried a hint of temptation.
First, vampires are inherently evil creatures, feeding on the blood and life force of intelligent beings. Even in their slumber, their very existence slowly and steadily drains the nation's fortune, like a malignant tumor clinging to the bone. Eliminating them is like removing a malignant tumor from a friendly nation.
[Secondly, your inaction doesn't mean others won't. According to system predictions, the laws of Earth will undergo another dramatic shift, with energy resurgence, potentially awakening these dormant extraordinary beings. At that time, these awakened vampires will bring immense disaster to this country.]
[Third, and most importantly.] The system paused, then unleashed its true trump card.
[Vampire life forms are an excellent tonic for the Starry Sky Secret Box. Their life cores and negative energy can be completely absorbed and transformed by the box's space. Devouring these 13 sleeping vampires is enough for the Starry Sky Secret Box to generate a 'spiritual spring'.]
"A spiritual spring?!" Zhou Jue's breathing quickened instantly.
"Yes, it's a spiritual spring," the system continued.
[The water of the spiritual spring contains pure life energy. Ordinary external injuries can heal rapidly within an hour after drinking it. If the host is lucky enough that the quality of this batch of vampires is high enough, there is even a very low probability that it will directly generate a high-quality 'Eternal Spiritual Spring'.]
The Everlasting Spirit Spring not only has the power to bring the dead back to life and heal broken bones, but long-term consumption can also cleanse the marrow and improve one's constitution. Most importantly, as long as the host's soul remains, even severed limbs can be regenerated by soaking in the spring water.
Severed limbs! Reborn!
These four words were like four heavy hammers, striking Zhou Jue's heart hard!
Her eyes suddenly burst forth with a golden light comparable to a 1,000-watt light bulb!
A portable fountain of water, a super trump card that can regenerate severed limbs!
This... this is unbearable!
Let alone sleeping vampires, even if they were awake, she would dare to charge at them and fight them to the death!
"Let's do it!" Zhou Jue slapped his thigh, jumped out of bed, and all his fatigue vanished, replaced by boundless fighting spirit and burning desire.
"Sister Cheng Gan, let's go slaughter gods tonight... no, I mean slaughter vampires!"
Cheng Gan looked at her eyes shining and her mouth practically watering, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Although she didn't know what the system and Zhou Jue had said, the fact that she was so excited meant that the benefits must be extraordinary.
Since we're going to slay vampires, then let's go!
The two exchanged a glance, and there was no longer any hesitation in their hearts.
The sky outside the window was still bright.
But their hearts had already flown into the approaching night that belonged to the hunters.
