After cutting off the live broadcast signal, Zhuang Li pinched open Okar's jaw and stuffed a pill filled with photosensitive nanoparticles and a small metal ball the size of a soybean into his mouth.
He brought the small metal ball from the previous world and stored it in the system in the form of data. Now it has just turned into a physical entity and he can use it.
Okar had been half-dead from the sun for a long time and was unable to resist Zhuang Li's manipulation. He could only use his tongue to push the pill and the ball away. But the moment the pill touched his saliva, it dissolved into a milky white liquid and slid into his esophagus, taking the small ball with it.
"You, what did you feed me?" Okar asked fearfully. He vaguely realized that this was the reason why he was afraid of the sun.
Without saying a word, Zhuang Li covered Okar's head and torso with a black cloth and put him into a box with an embedded ultraviolet lamp.
In the previous exposure to the sun, the nanoparticles remaining in Okar's body had been consumed by the explosion of cells. However, Okar inherited Le Qinglan's bloodline and his self-healing ability was stronger than any other vampire.
Now, his torn flesh has begun to heal, and even his broken heart has grown back together.
To prevent Okar from escaping after recovering his strength, Zhuang Li supplemented him with some photosensitive nanoparticles and kept his limbs exposed to ultraviolet rays.
As a result, Okar's limbs would continue to explode, turning into a mass of white bones. He would be the equivalent of a human pig, so where could he run?
Zhuang Li placed Okar in a huge safe made of thick steel plates, then closed the door, which was also made of thick steel plates, and opened the combination lock. No one except him could crack the combination of the door lock.
This is the underground vault of an abandoned bank, standing in a long-deserted neighborhood.
Zhuang Li walked along the sewer for a long distance until he was completely away from the block where the abandoned bank was located. Then he lifted the manhole cover and crawled out from a hidden corner.
He had explored the route back and forth many times and knew how to avoid pedestrians and cameras.
After returning home and washing off the blood and dust on his body, Zhuang Li took out his cell phone and called his parents.
He had strangled Wang Annie with extremely cruel means, but now he asked in an extremely gentle tone: "Mom, does your wound still hurt? Did Dad make you something delicious?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. Your father and I steamed two eggs for us tonight. Son, we, we all saw it." Mother Zhuang covered her mouth and cried softly.
Zhuang's father scolded him, "Why are you crying for no reason?" He snatched the phone away and said firmly, "Son, go ahead and do what you want. Don't worry about us. Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. Go all the way!"
"Okay, I understand." Zhuang Li, who thought it would take a lot of effort to appease his parents, smiled unexpectedly.
He rubbed his tired brows and thought to himself with ease: This world can still be saved, and the flame of resistance is still burning in everyone's heart.
The most terrifying thing is not being at war with the whole world; the most terrifying thing is that when he fights for all of humanity, his fellow citizens feel that they are better off with the status quo. Everyone is willing to be enslaved or even slaughtered. This is the real despair.
Although Zhuang Li arrived a little late, it wasn't too late. The world hadn't yet completely fallen into darkness.
"I will protect this world and put everything back on track." He closed his eyes and made a promise to the lover in his heart.
Zhuang's father thought these words were directed at him, and his voice choked up: "Okay, okay, Mom and Dad are waiting for that day. Mom and Dad are doing well, don't worry about us. Just go ahead and do your best!"
Even though he knew what a terrible enemy his son was facing, Zhuang's father never said a discouraging word.
Zhuang Li opened his eyes and nodded seriously: "Okay, I will try my best. You and mom must take good care of yourselves. We will definitely be reunited, believe me."
"Believe me, Dad always believes in you." Father Zhuang's tone was steady and firm, but his face was already covered with tears.
Mother Zhuang, with her ear pressed against the other side of the phone, bit her intact hand and suppressed the painful sobs in her throat.
Zhuang Li hung up the phone and pulled up a location-tracking app, using his phone's signal to check his parents' location. They were hiding in a small village in a remote mountainous area and were currently safe.
Vampires are a group of extravagant creatures. They only occupy prosperous metropolises and take pleasure in plundering human wealth, power, and life. They will not go to remote places to seek suffering.
Zhuang Li put down the phone and was about to put on some old-age makeup and go to the research institute to take a look, but he found that his account registered on the dark web had received a string of private messages. X, who had made a deal with him, said that he wanted to cooperate with him to deal with Le Qinglan.
Zhuang Li glanced at the computer screen and ignored it.
The temple was destroyed because of betrayal by an insider, so he would not trust anyone easily.
But X trusted him very much and said frankly: "I am the leader of the Six Suns. The Temple is the predecessor of the Six Suns. Our goal has always been to eliminate vampires."
Zhuang Li's livestream was a declaration of war on vampires worldwide, and X had no reason to doubt Zhuang Li's stance. He must be a friend!
Zhuang Li put on a wig and started applying foundation.
X continued, "You don't know Le Qinglan. She's not that easy to deal with. We've learned a little bit about her and know she doesn't need to eat anything to stay alive. She doesn't even drink human blood. So we have every reason to suspect she's not a vampire, but another species capable of immortality!"
She's harder to kill than a vampire! Our captain once chopped off her head, and guess what?
[Heinrich stole her head and replaced it on her neck, and she came back to life! She is a monster more terrifying than a vampire!]
After typing this, X boasted to his daughter, "Zhuang Li will definitely reply to me now! There's no way he wouldn't be interested in a freak like Le Qinglan."
Emile agreed.
The father and daughter stared at the computer screen.
The next second, Zhuang Li's reply appeared, just six words: [Who is your captain?]
"Damn, why doesn't he ask about Le Qinglan's situation?" X was stunned. He looked up at his daughter and asked with his eyes: Will you tell me or not?
Emile nodded: Go ahead.
Zhuang Li killed thousands of noble vampires in one go. He definitely couldn't be on the vampire side. He was a human fighter.
X immediately replied: "Lei Ming is my captain. Have you heard of him? He was once the world's most powerful vampire hunter. He single-handedly killed tens of thousands of vampires. If it weren't for Le Qinglan, he would have nearly wiped out the vampire race."
Zhuang Li stared at this sentence without blinking. After a long time, he put down the powder puff, picked up the wet tissue, and slowly wiped his face.
He took off his wig, covered his eyes and eyebrows, and sank into sorrow.
Lei Ming—of course he knew, this was his lover.
X didn't wait for his reply, so he kept on talking: [You can't defeat Le Qinglan alone, she is an unkillable monster.]
[We have experience dealing with Le Qinglan, we can help you.]
"We want Le Qinglan's blood. Once we get it, we'll leave. We won't interfere with your actions."
"Okay, okay, we'll give you any amount. If you catch Le Qinglan, can you sell us ten milliliters of her blood?"
【We are waiting for her blood to save our captain.】
Our captain is a hero. I can tell you his story.
[Please reply to us. If the captain can survive, you will have more companions to fight alongside you. Wouldn't that be great?]
【Isn't it lonely to fight alone? 】
Zhuang Li looked at these words in astonishment.
7480 was shocked: "Isn't the god dead? That's what it says in the script!"
Zhuang Li never believed in scripts. He stretched out his slightly trembling fingertips and quickly tapped the keyboard: [Lei Ming is not dead?]
X immediately perked up and said frankly: [He's currently in a state of being neither dead nor alive, but as long as he gets Le Qinglan's blood, he will definitely be able to come back to life!]
[Where is he? I want to see him!] Zhuang Li stared at the computer screen.
X looked at his daughter, his eyes full of questions.
Emile thought for a moment and then nodded.
X immediately replied: [Let’s agree on a meeting place. I’ll take you to meet our captain.]
[I want to see him now!] Zhuang Li quickly sent an address, then put on a black windbreaker and hurriedly left the rental house.
---
An hour later, Zhuang Li, led by Jin Doudi, stepped into a dilapidated shack. The house was filled with a sour and foul smell, and every room was covered with mottled mold. The living environment was so bad that it was unbearable.
Zhuang Li asked gravely, "How dare you let Lei Ming live in a place like this?"
Jindou looked at him in confusion, then suddenly realized: "You must be a fan of the captain, right?"
Zhuang Li suppressed his anxiety and asked, "Where is he?"
"He's here." A beautiful woman in a white dress walked out of a closed door and extended her hand, saying, "Come in."
Zhuang Li didn't even consider whether there might be a trap in the room, and stepped right in. Then, he saw the person he had been thinking about day and night. He was lying on a clean bed, covered with a thin quilt, his face very peaceful.
His chest was still, and his skin had lost its color, all of which indicated that he was dead. But his body had not been eroded by time, reduced to a pile of bones. He still retained the appearance he had in life: tall, strong, and handsome.
He seemed to be able to sit up as soon as he opened his eyes, and greeted others with a smile.
Zhuang Li was in a daze for a moment, then strode over, bent down, and stared deeply.
A tear fell on Lei Ming's face, then two, three, four...
X turned his head away sadly, unable to bear watching this scene. He understood the fans' feelings too well, as he had felt the same way back then.
The next second, Jindou and Emile screamed at the same time: "What are you doing!"
X quickly turned his head back, only to see Zhuang Li lower his head, kissing the captain's lips, then prying open the captain's teeth and inserting his tongue...
Fuck! This guy is a pervert after all this time!
X was furious and rolled up his sleeves to rush forward, but then he heard Emile scream, "The captain's heart is beating!"
As Zhuang Li held Lei Ming's head and kissed him deeply, he accidentally knocked the thin blanket off, revealing Lei Ming's open chest. A heart branded with scars began to beat at the touch of this kiss, once, twice, three times, four times...
Although the pulsation is weak, it cannot be ignored.
X and others were stunned.
Zhuang Li kissed Lei Ming deeply, his fingertips tracing along his scalp to the back of his neck, feeling a burst of burning heat.
He ended the kiss, carefully turned Lei Ming's head, and saw a golden anchor engraved on the back of his neck.
This is their agreement, a bond that comes from their souls.
Zhuang Li's pupils trembled slightly, and tears fell into the corners of his mouth, which was covered with a faint smile: "You did it." He leaned over and kissed Lei Ming, whispering in his ear: "You waited for me."
Lei Ming's weak heart suddenly trembled violently, as if responding to his call.
