Chapter 28
The program team has made it clear that this city will not release any more supplies, so Feng Shen and others originally planned to set off for the port tomorrow. Now Professor Terrence and others suddenly appear, and Shi Buxi, who had previously promised to give them a vampire corpse, can only catch one for them tonight.
When Lu Feng, Feng Shen and others heard that Shi Buxi was going to capture the Vampire King tonight, they were eager to try and wanted to go with him. However, they were rejected by Professor Terrence. He had watched several videos of contestants encountering vampires. Except for Lu Feng, the others could barely protect themselves. Wouldn't it be a drag to ask them to go together to capture the Vampire King?
"No, the kids will have to save you then." Professor Terrence scowled.
Feng Shen/Zong Ziyu: ..., these words really hurt my self-esteem.
"We can't let him go alone." Zong Ziyu said.
"I'll get someone to help him," Professor Terrence replied. Every year when they went to Blue Star for scientific research, they always brought a special operations team. Although they hadn't successfully entered Area 1, they had no problem getting into Areas 2 and 3.
Feng Shen and Zong Ziyu looked at the soldiers in combat uniforms standing in a line beneath the aircraft and silently swallowed the words they were about to say. Their mental strength might be comparable to theirs, but their combat capabilities and physical skills were far inferior.
"Then it's no problem for me to follow you!" Lu Feng stepped forward and said.
"No, I'll go by myself," Shi Buyi said, shaking his head. He had agreed to go capture the Vampire King with Professor Terrence. Firstly, he had promised him before, and secondly, he wanted to go back to the building to see if the man was still there. He hadn't even asked his name yet!
"How can this be possible? What if something goes wrong..." Academician Liang disagreed. Vampires were important to them, and Shi Buyi was important to them right now. Before he left, the director of the Psychiatric Research Institute had a long talk with him. He even hoped that Shi Buyi would end the program immediately and return to the main planet.
"Don't worry!" Shi Buyi finished the last bite of bread and stood up. He had to resolve this matter tonight, otherwise it would delay his trip tomorrow. If he was alone, he was sure he could catch a vampire, but with others, he was no longer so sure.
Many people in the research team wanted to persuade him again, but Shi Buxi finally said that he would not go no matter how much he was persuaded.
The few people swallowed the words that were about to slip into their throats and dared not say anything more.
Since Shi Bushi and others came to Blue Star, vampires only appeared at dawn, so he was not in a hurry. After eating and washing up, he returned to the car to sleep and prepared to get up in the early morning.
The others, on the other hand, couldn't sleep as they were itching to catch the Vampire King because of Shi Buxi's plan. However, they returned to the car early. After all, no one could guarantee whether or not there would be vampires appearing tonight.
The only people outside at this time were the producer and Professor Terrence. The producer was humbly negotiating with Professor Terrence and the others, hoping that the filming wouldn't be affected. The station director had said that the live broadcast market share of this program had reached 25%. If it could break 30%, their program would be recorded in history.
As a producer, he naturally has a lot of benefits.
"Don't worry, we'll try our best not to disturb you, but we'll definitely follow you to Area 1," Professor Terrence said. They hadn't been able to enter Area 1 for so many years, so following Shi Buxi might give them a chance.
"This..." The producer hesitated.
"Come on, we're not shutting down the show right now because we respect you, the children," Professor Terrence said angrily. Entertainment programs and zombie research simply couldn't be compared.
"Okay, but you can't interfere with the filming along the way, including providing them with food and aircraft, etc." said the producer.
Professor Terrence agreed. However, they had to follow Shi Buxi to Area 1, which presented another problem. If Shi Buxi really caught a vampire tonight, he couldn't take the vampire with him, so he had to arrange for someone to take the vampire back to the main planet first.
The zombie research team gathered together and chattered until almost dawn.
"Will there be more vampires tonight?" Academician Liang said, looking at the gray sky. He wanted to see the terrible lightning net in person.
"It looks very quiet." After Professor Terrence finished speaking, he saw Shi Buxi's car door opened and he came out.
Shi Buyi saw Professor Terrence and others at a glance, waved, and turned to walk towards the alley they were in last night.
【Children, why don’t you go and tell them? 】
"No, I'll finish it early and come back early." Shi Buyi smiled at the camera, took a step forward and started jogging.
The building Shi Buxi had visited last night was a bit far from the camp, and it took him nearly fifteen minutes to reach it after a jog. Unlike the quiet night before, the building was unusually bustling tonight. Vampires were gathering one after another, seemingly about to do something big.
This was trouble. If he made a move, everyone would be alerted. There was no telling how many vampires were in this building, and with a vampire king added in, he wasn't sure if he could handle it.
Just when Bu Xi was lost in thought, a tall vampire in a black cloak suddenly appeared from the sky above the building. He was slowly descending when he suddenly stopped and looked into the dark alley.
"Ugh!" Before Shi Buxi could dodge, someone covered his mouth and dragged him backwards into the alley.
At the same time, the camera following behind Shi Buxi was grabbed by a black hand and moved backwards and backwards until only Shi Buxi's figure could be barely seen, but no longer anything he said could be heard.
【Ahh, let us go.】
[Who are you? If you have the guts, take off your mask and let's duel.]
Jian Mingyuan: Silence.
Shi Buyi was dragged by this and was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to resist, a familiar breath made him pause. A low and familiar voice sounded in his ears, "Why are you here?"
"Mmmmm!" Shi Buyi patted his hand, and when he let go, he turned around and looked up. It was indeed the Fangya zombie. He couldn't help but smile at him, "I'll catch the Vampire King."
"Why did you catch him?" Zong Zhengqing's heart skipped a beat when he saw the boy's laughter. He couldn't help but turn his gaze away and looked at the boy's slightly red ear.
"I promised Professor Terrence that I would give him a vampire." Shi Buxi said.
"We can't let them take the vampires out of Blue Star." Zong Zhengqing said directly.
"Ah, research is not an option?" Shi Buxi didn't understand these things very well. He originally thought that if it was research, it should be good for mankind.
"You also heard last night that someone has already transported the corpse poison out." Zong Zhengqing said.
Shi Buxi nodded. Even if Yaya hadn't said anything, it was definitely not a good thing to ship this thing out. It was indeed not right to allow things that did not belong to humans to appear in the human world. So he said, "Are you investigating this matter?"
Shi Buxi found it quite interesting that the zombies were investigating the vampire poison being transported out of Blue Star, and couldn't help but ask again: "Are you really a zombie? I don't sense anything from you..."
"The smell of a corpse?" Zong Zhengqing chuckled. He was still as soft-hearted and kind as he was when he was little, and couldn't even bear to say hurtful words.
"Logically, that's the case." Shi Buyi smiled embarrassedly.
"The zombies are just infected with the virus, not dead," Zong Zhengqing said solemnly. Three thousand years ago, humans didn't completely exterminate the zombies because some people opposed it. Since they couldn't save them, they were forced to relocate.
Since the founding of the Zongzheng Dynasty, the country has established a zombie research team to develop an antidote to the zombie virus, but it has never been successful. The most common speculation now is that cosmic rays are the cause, but there is no evidence to support this.
Shi Buyi heard this and thought that this made sense. "Then what about these vampires? What are they doing?"
"We should gather our forces and attack you." Zong Zhengqing said, then pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Do you still want to continue playing?"
"Hmm?" Shi Buyi didn't understand why he asked that.
"If you don't want to play anymore, I'll ask the production team to withdraw from Blue Star now. If you want to continue playing, I'll take care of the rest." Zong Zhengqing said.
Shi Buxi understood that he was asking if he still wanted to participate in the show, and immediately said, "Yes."
He also wants to go to District 1!
Zong Zhengqing nodded and said, "Then you can go back. I will take care of the rest."
"No, I'll help." Shi Buyi grabbed the toothy zombie's arm, looked at him firmly and said, "You know, it's easy for me to deal with them. It's just that I don't understand the Vampire King's strength, and I'm afraid of being ambushed when I set up the formation."
"Then I'll take care of him, you can go ahead and set up the formation." Zong Zhengqing saw that he was smiling again because of his words, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch his face, but he found that he was wearing white gloves. For the first time, he felt that his gloves were an eyesore.
Shi Buxi was going to set up the "Corpse-killing Divine Formation", which required burying talismans in the four directions of the building: east, south, west and north. Now the vampires were gathering in front of the building, and there was no way to avoid their formation. The only way was for Yaya Zombie to go out and attract their attention.
"There are too many of them. If you can't beat them, just run to my side, okay?" Shi Buxi instructed seriously.
"Okay." Zong Zhengqing looked at the boy's trusting yet worried eyes and couldn't help but reach out and touch his head, saying, "I know you will protect me."
The child who stood at the door with a small stick and said he would protect him when he fell ill has grown up and become strong.
"Ah? Ah, then, of course." Shi Buxi's face felt a little hot because of his sudden gentle voice.
Jian Mingyuan, who had taped the camera to the wall and came over to inquire about the situation, nearly fell flat on his face when he heard His Highness's words. The prince who had intimidated aliens on the battlefield said he wanted a young man to protect him?
"Then let's start!" Shi Buyi noticed Jian Mingyuan's arrival and his face became even hotter. Obviously, they didn't do anything.
Zong Zhengqing saw his bewilderment and smiled in response. He glanced at Jian Mingyuan who was approaching and said, "You go first. I'll protect Xiaoxi and place the talisman."
Jian Mingyuan: ..., do you really think that I can defeat the Vampire King?
“Ouch!”
In the silent night, the howling of vampires woke up all the sleeping contestants. When they got up, they realized that Shi Buxi was going to capture the Vampire King for the research team tonight. Has he already set off?
Several people got out of the car immediately and found that Shi Buxi's car was empty, and Professor Terrence and others were looking towards the west with frowns.
"What's going on?" Lu Feng walked over and asked.
"I don't know." Professor Terrence shook his head, feeling worried. He shouldn't have agreed to let the child go alone.
[Ahhh, we know that the kid is with the Fangy Zombie. Maybe the Fangy Zombie is helping him catch vampires.]
"Are you the audience of Xiaoxi's live broadcast room?" Feng Shen asked.
[Woohoo, yes, but we're stuck to the wall now. Before, I could see him talking to the Fangya zombie, but after they left, I couldn't see anything anymore.]
"YaYa zombie is here too?" Zong Ziyu's eyes immediately turned when he heard it.
"You seem a little excited?" Lu Feng said.
"No." Zong Ziyu quickly shook his head. He had not yet confirmed whether the Yaya zombie was him!
Jian Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"boom!"
“Ouch!”
As they were talking, the ground shook, and suddenly a huge beam of light shot up into the sky in the distance. The vampire let out a terrible howl, making the soles of the feet of those present feel cold. However, when they saw that holy light, the chilling feeling quickly dissipated.
"What is this?" Academician Liang took a step forward in disbelief, and then suddenly rushed towards the direction of the light.
Professor Terrence was shocked when he saw it, and shouted to the special forces who were protecting them, "Hurry up and follow me."
"Let's go too!" said Mr. Ouyang from the zombie research team, and followed.
When the others saw it, they all had the same idea in their minds: go and take a look.
A group of people ran towards the light, but after running into the alley for a while, the light disappeared, the vampire's screams stopped, and the surroundings returned to calm.
"How do we get here?" Feng Shen asked.
Just now everyone was following the light, but now the light is gone, how can we get there?
"The program crew should know the location." Lu Feng said.
"The audience in Xiaoxi's live broadcast room should also know this." Zong Ziyu said.
"Look, what is that?"
Just as everyone was discussing how to go, someone suddenly shouted and pointed to the sky. The others followed his gaze and looked up, all with surprised expressions: the moon.
They had been in Blue Star District 3 for some time, and this was the first time they saw the moon.
"rustle!"
In the quiet alley, the sound of something being dragged suddenly rang out. Everyone's faces changed, and they immediately retreated. Some even made attacking gestures...
"Why are you here?" Shi Buyi turned a corner and saw a group of people crowded in the alley, and asked curiously.
"I, we just heard a scream, so we thought of coming over to check. Are you okay?" Professor Terrence still remembered what he said and quickly explained.
"Ah, this," Shi Buyi said embarrassedly. He was supposed to catch a vampire king for him, but he didn't know. "How about a dead vampire king? No, a dead vampire king that can't move?"
After Shi Buxi finished speaking, he walked forward a few steps and revealed a corpse lying horizontally.
Only then did everyone see clearly that Shi Buyi was pulling a rope in his hand, and behind the rope was a wooden board. On the board was naturally the vampire king who he said would not move.
Professor Terrence: ...
"Well, I purified the entire building. Now there may not be a single vampire left." Shi Buxi whispered.
Everyone: ...
In the middle of the night, looking at this corpse, no matter what he was in his lifetime, it was always a bad feeling. When he heard Shi Buxi say that there might not be a single vampire left, although Lu Feng wanted to know the details, but seeing Professor Terrence's expression, he decided to ask later, so he turned around and left first.
Jian Xiaonan and Tian Lou took a look and hurried to follow.
Professor Terrence took a deep breath, then another, and suppressed his emotions before asking, "Why?"
"They are creatures that don't belong to this world, don't they?" Shi Buyi replied.
"Then we have to know how they appeared, right?" Academician Liang felt it was such a pity.
Shi Buxi thought for a moment and said, "In your words, they must have absorbed some kind of spiritual energy from nature, causing them to move again. They are just a force of energy, yes, that's it."
"What kind of energy is that?" Professor Terrence continued to ask, wanting to see how Shi Buxi could explain it.
"Dark energy." Shi Buxi said firmly.
Everyone: ..., you win.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go to Area 1 with me?" Shi Buyi saw Professor Terrence's despairing look and said with a sense of apology, "I'll take you to Area 1."
"Do you want to use this to compensate me?" Mr. Ouyang asked.
Shi Buxi nodded.
"I could have had both," Professor Terrence said through gritted teeth.
"It's hard to say, I haven't agreed to take you to Area 1 yet!" Shi Buyi looked innocent.
Professor Terrence: ..., you win.
"These are not important. Can you let me see the power of the talisman again?" This is what Academician Liang wanted to study this time.
"Is tomorrow okay? I'm sleepy." Shi Buxi said.
"Of course, of course." Academician Liang nodded immediately.
Professor Terrence: I haven't agreed yet!
"Is it your own idea to purify them?" Professor Terrence looked at Shi Buxi seriously.
"I just think this is something that shouldn't appear, so it shouldn't appear in the laboratory." Shi Buyi's eyes were a little vague, and he didn't say that he was affected by the Yaya zombie.
"Okay, then give me what you have in your hand!" Professor Terrence knew that he was hiding something from him, so he didn't ask any more questions. He could only take a step back, thinking that maybe he could find something else from the body.
Shi Buxi nodded quickly, handed the rope to Professor Terrence, and left with the camera.
[Ahhh, it’s finally gone. I was so scared.]
When it moved, I was afraid, but it was the fear of unknown creatures. But seeing a child dragging a dead body, ahhhh, how am I going to sleep tonight?
[Wow, what happened just now? Why is there such a big beam of light?]
"Ahhh, Xiaoxi, what did you mean by purification? What did you do?"
"Is the one you're dragging really the Vampire King? I won't believe it unless you show us the scene again."
【I'd like to know what the child said to the Yaya zombie.】
[So scary, so scary, little friend, aren't you afraid at all? ]
"I'm not afraid." Shi Buyi listened to the audience's words, picked out a response, looked up and yawned, and saw a crescent moon. It was a bit surprising, but after thinking about it, it seemed natural. After all, the clouds had dispersed.
Professor Terrence and others left soon, and the alley returned to peace.
No one noticed that there were two people standing on the roof of one of the buildings.
"Your Highness, are you going back to the main planet next?" Jian Mingyuan asked.
"Let's take another look!" Zong Zhengqing looked at the young man's back, slightly distracted.
"But, your illness..." Jian Mingyuan was anxious and wanted to persuade him, but he stopped when he saw the indifferent look of His Highness.
I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the boy whose back was particularly clear because of the moonlight: Is Shi Buxi's arrival a good thing or a bad thing?
