Lei Ming slept until dark and woke up feeling extremely satisfied.
He subconsciously kissed Zhuang Li, who was held tightly in his arms, then got out of bed quietly and went into the bathroom to wash up.
The mirror reflected a tall and strong body, with bronze skin covered with red marks, witnessing the thrilling events of last night.
It wasn't until then that Lei Ming realized Zhuang Li seemed to enjoy kissing his neck, and that was where the most red marks were. Later, when he went out to hunt vampires, he might need to wear a turtleneck to cover them up.
Lei Ming turned his neck to check for these traces of love, and finally found the golden anchor on the back of his neck.
He was slightly startled, then placed his palm on it, silently feeling it. This mark gave him a very solid and reassuring feeling.
"Do you know what that is?" Zhuang Li's voice suddenly came from behind him. He was wearing a loose white shirt and leaning against the bathroom door.
"I think this is your mark." Lei Ming guessed.
Zhuang Li pursed his lips and smiled. This was indeed his mark. It seemed that even if he lost his memory, the words he had once said would be firmly engraved in his soul.
Lei Ming's brain may not remember Zhuang Li, but his heart will never be wrong.
That's enough.
Zhuang Li walked over, held Lei Ming's cheek and gave him a gentle kiss.
After the kiss, he turned around, pointed at the back of his neck, and chuckled, "How about I get a tattoo of the word 'Ming' here too?"
Branding each other, this ritual was more moving than any love words. Lei Ming couldn't help but kiss the back of Zhuang Li's neck, gently grinding it with his teeth and slowly licking it with the tip of his tongue. When he spoke again, his voice was unusually hoarse, "Okay, I'll help you brand it myself."
"I have to get up so late at night to do experiments. I'm so tired." Zhuang Li whispered with his eyes closed, his hands resting on the mirror, indulging in the numbness on the back of his neck.
"I'll help you charge." Lei Ming has already learned the ultimate fast charging and has become addicted to it.
Zhuang Li opened his hazy eyes, stared at Lei Ming's longing face through the mirror, and smiled happily with the corners of his lips curled up.
"Do you feel it?" He panted and whispered, "It's best when we're together."
"Yeah." Lei Ming bit the back of Zhuang Li's neck. The fierce attack made his blood boil.
When X came knocking on the door, Lei Ming had already eaten and drunk his fill, and was humming "The Blue Danube" while wiping his hair.
Smelling the strong odor in the room, X showed a playful expression and turned his head left and right, trying to see where Zhuang Li was.
"Don't move your eyes around." Lei Ming warned in a deep voice.
Now he is like a wild beast, highly alert to everything around him, because he has a treasure hidden beside him that no one can touch.
X raised his hands in surrender, and seeing the captain's neck covered with red marks, he couldn't help but whistle.
"It was quite intense last night!" he joked.
"Well, it's exceeded the limit." Lei Ming boasted without any hesitation, his expression full of satisfaction and aftertaste.
X felt jealous, but also happy for the captain. He had always thought the captain was an emotionless monster.
The captain's method of hunting vampires is extremely cruel. Rather than saving the world, it is more like venting his inner brutality.
But now, he finally understood that the captain was not without emotion, but was just waiting for someone. When this person appeared, he would burst out with all his light and heat.
His heart is not ice, but lava.
"Captain, I wish you all the best." X said sincerely.
"Thank you." Lei Ming touched the anchor behind his neck and couldn't help smiling.
X said seriously, "Okay, let's talk business. Aside from Solo, the other seven princes are already on their way to China. They've brought an army of high-level vampires, as well as planes, tanks, and rockets. Do you understand what this means?"
Lei Ming had already anticipated that the situation would develop to this point, and said calmly, "Have our troops been assembled?"
"We have only assembled 200,000 people so far, and the weapons and equipment are far from enough. Other areas of China have not yet completely escaped the control of vampires. By then, City B is likely to become an isolated island, surrounded by vampire armies bombarding us." X said worriedly.
Lei Ming frowned and thought.
X added, "Right now, the people of City B are fleeing. A large-scale war would raze this place to the ground."
The struggle between darkness and light often means endless bloodshed and slaughter. X was already prepared to sacrifice himself. He simply couldn't bear to watch the masses being slaughtered.
What he didn't mention was that the people who had previously supported them were now cursing at him. They blamed Zhuang Li for provoking the vampires and for bringing trouble upon everyone.
There is a saying that goes like this: When a beam of light shines into the darkness, allowing everyone to see the ugliness hidden in the darkness, then this beam of light is guilty.
And Zhuang Li is such a sinner.
Even if X didn't say it, Lei Ming could imagine what the situation was like outside.
He pondered, "When will the vampire army arrive in China?"
"Half a month later." X wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, the vampires have neglected infrastructure construction for 19 years, resulting in the aging of many transportation facilities and transportation hubs. Otherwise, this legion would have arrived faster.
Lei Ming nodded and was about to go into the bedroom to discuss the next strategy with Zhuang Li, but Zhuang Li opened the door first and asked lazily, "In half a month, most of the world's high-level vampires will gather in China?"
"Yes, they also have the most advanced weapons." X nodded heavily.
Zhuang Li clapped his hands and said, "You're just in time."
X found it difficult to understand Zhuang Li's train of thought, but Lei Ming already knew what he was thinking, so he asked, "How many nanosilver particles can you produce in half a month?"
"If all the factories and mines run at full capacity, there will be no problem in killing this legion," Zhuang Li estimated.
"Let's do it this way." Lei Ming nodded calmly.
X: "...How? I don't understand."
Lei Ming glanced at him and reminded him, "Before the troops move, the food must go first. To gather so many high-level vampires, the seven princes must first ensure that they are well fed. They will plunder blood banks around the world, then store enough blood in jars and transport it to the front lines. Naturally, our Chinese blood banks will be among those plundered."
Zhuang Li continued, "So, we can put nanosilver particles into the blood bank and have them transport it away."
"Vampires can't stand hunger. The lack of blood will make them dry up and shrink, and their strength will be greatly reduced. So before going to the battlefield, they will drink to their heart's content." Lei Ming described such a scene.
Zhuang Li slowly guided them, "Can you imagine what happens when blood laden with nanosilver particles slides into their esophagus?"
X was stunned on the spot.
Zhuang Li rubbed his neck and said, "Let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to tattoo me?"
"It will be a little painful, just bear with it." Lei Ming stood up and took Zhuang Li's hand, and gently kissed him on the center of his eyebrows and cheeks.
The two of them left the lounge hand in hand. After a long while, X, who was in a daze, suddenly slammed the table and laughed wildly.
No wonder Mr. Zhuang said this army arrived at the right time. Hiding in the corners of the world, the human army really has no way to deal with them.
But this group of vampires was so desperate that they actually gathered together and set foot on Chinese soil. Isn't this just walking into the trap?
Therefore, the human army does not need strong ships and cannons at all. Mr. Zhuang is the most terrifying weapon in their hands! This biological and chemical warfare will definitely go down in history!
---
The human army that had been actively preparing for war actually put down their guns, picked up their hoes, and went mining.
This bizarre operation stunned the people of City B. Some sped up their escape, some stayed home, silently waiting to die, and some took the initiative to seek out the army and join the anti-Japanese war.
In the face of disaster, everyone made their own choices.
Seven days later, a massive army of vampires surrounded City B. Seven princes, dressed in neat uniforms, stood at the front and declared firmly to the camera, "After tomorrow, City B will be wiped off the map!"
They imitated Zhuang Li and released their declarations through all channels. They wanted to make humans understand that vampires were the masters of this world.
The people who did not escape from City B were sitting with their families, watching TV in silence.
Those who escaped from City B breathed a sigh of relief. Their choice was the right one; they didn't want to be cannon fodder in a war.
The civilians who had temporarily joined the army and were ready to fight bloody battles were cleaning their guns, all with resolute expressions on their faces.
"Hiss, it hurts!" A citizen suddenly covered his fingertips and wailed, and the tragic atmosphere disappeared.
The people sitting around him all cupped their hands and inhaled. Their palms were also covered with blisters.
Someone muttered, "I've been mining for the past two weeks and haven't participated in any military training at all."
"Me too."
"I don't understand the point of digging so much silver mines."
"that is."
Everyone was complaining.
X, who happened to be passing by, shouted, "Stop howling! Sit up straight! You'll soon learn how important your work is to all of humanity! Watch TV, stop talking nonsense!"
X pointed to a giant screen hanging above the barracks, which showed the vampire army preparing for battle. They were loading their cannons with ammunition and refueling their tanks. With just one command from the seven princes, they would soon raze City B to the ground.
Every vampire bared its sharp fangs, excitedly waiting for a kill.
Seeing this scene, the ordinary citizens who had just joined the army felt disheartened.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you showing us this? Shouldn't you say a few words to boost morale? Who would dare to go to the battlefield after seeing this! We have millet and rifles, and they have planes, tanks, and rockets. The difference in strength is too big!" Someone shouted dissatisfiedly.
Someone nearby immediately added, "Yes, vampires are still a group of immortal monsters. We have no chance of winning!"
"I don't want to fight anymore! The vampires' firepower is too strong, we will only die! I want to go home and be with my mother." Someone hid below and sobbed.
These words dealt a heavy blow to everyone's morale, and the regular army, which had been eager to fight, also showed sad expressions.
Lei Ming, standing on the rostrum, remained unmoved. The generals around him also remained calm and composed.
On the screen, the vampires had already raised their blood jugs and began to drink freely. Blood flowed from their mouths, staining their bodies. The strong smell of blood made their eyes red, and their killing desire intensified.
Seeing this scene, all humans were consumed by endless despair and fear. They could foresee that one day in the future, they too would turn into a jar of blood and be devoured by these monsters. They had no future to speak of.
Tears quietly slid down faces, and many people cried.
However, the next moment, something unimaginable happened. After the blood entered their stomachs, these vampires actually fell to their knees, grabbed their own necks, and let out shrill howls.
Before the screams had died down, many vampires had their esophagus, belly, and even heart burned by a ball of fire.
In just a few seconds, the dark army of vampires fell in large numbers, engulfed in the surging red flames.
Even the seven princes were curled up on the ground, holding their stomachs, looking the most embarrassed.
The vampire photographers who were responsible for filming this army did not drink blood, so they were still standing. They completely forgot that they were filming, and ran around with their cameras, shouting in despair.
They broadcast this tragic scene to people all over the world.
