It's raining.
Sarah sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window in a trance.
She watched the rain gradually grow heavier and heavier. She didn't understand agriculture and didn't know how much loss this rain would bring to the farmers. She just thought the sound of the rain was beautiful.
She used to be afraid of rain, and whenever it rained, she could only stay outdoors without any shelter.
Especially in winter, when it doesn't snow sometimes and the rain stops, the cold wind blows and she is almost frozen into an ice stick.
She is a vampire, she will not die easily, but she can also feel cold, heat, pain and discomfort.
But no one ever cared about her, no one felt sorry for her, so she forgot to feel sorry for herself.
Sarah sneezed and wrapped herself in a small blanket.
Sometimes she still thought that all this was just her fantasy. She had seen humans being sucked to death. They would struggle wildly in pain at first, but then they would calm down and soon a smile would appear on their faces, as if they had seen some beautiful scene.
She once heard the guards say that before these humans died, they would have hallucinations and return to the happiest time in their lives.
Sarah thought that maybe she was like that too.
It’s just that there wasn’t a single happy day in her past, so she could only imagine a new environment and a group of new people.
"Why are you still in a daze?" When Cao'er entered the room, she saw Sarah staring out the French window. She was holding a white knitted coat in her hand. She walked to Sarah, handed the coat to her, and also looked out, "I like rain very much."
"Ever since I followed the immortal, I've come to like rain." Cao'er smiled. "I used to hate rain, especially before the autumn harvest. We had to rush to harvest. If it rained heavily, there would be mudslides. You know mudslides? Mud and rocks on the mountain will collapse. If you're lucky, only a few people will be injured. If you're unlucky, the farmland will be flooded."
Her eyes became blurred. She was just an ordinary country girl who had to learn to work as soon as she could walk.
Before she was able to go out to work, she had to stay at home to take care of her younger siblings. At that time, she was still a child herself, so she had to learn how to raise even younger children.
She prepared food for her parents who were always working in the fields and cleaned the house, which would otherwise be infested with bugs and rats.
Rats will gnaw on people's nails or even flesh while they are sleeping. She had her nails bitten once before. Fortunately, she woke up, otherwise she would have definitely lost a piece of flesh.
Later, when she was able to go out to the fields, she began to work with her parents, while her younger brother had to stay at home to take care of her younger sisters.
She didn't want to go to the fields. Not only would it be tiring, but her body would also be crawling with insects that would not go away no matter how she drove them away. They would disperse one moment and gather again the next.
There was no meat to eat, there was not much oil at home, and she had to do heavy physical labor every day. At that time, the thing she wanted to do most was to have a good sleep.
No one woke her up, so she could have a good sleep, even if she never woke up again.
She had never told this to anyone, let alone her mother.
She knew in her heart that her parents had put in all their efforts to keep her and her brothers and sisters alive.
They may not even live long enough for them to grow up and repay them.
After arriving at the immortal's side and entering the supermarket, the painful past gradually faded away.
When the sun is scorching, she can enjoy the cool breeze while eating ice cream, and even wear a blanket when the temperature is low.
When it rains, she doesn't have to go out to harvest and doesn't have to worry about mudslides. She can stay in the safety of the room and sleep well to the sound of rain.
Although she still couldn't wake up naturally - even on her day off, her mother would wake her up.
But she can sleep eight hours a day, which was unimaginable before.
Sarah said, "I don't like rain."
“I like sunny weather.”
Only then were the vampires unable to go out and could only stay in the dark room, but she, a half-blood, could sneak out. Sometimes mothers of other races with children would see that she was so small and pitiful and give her something to eat.
However, most of the time the food was rotten and inedible, but she would still wolf it down.
Even though as a vampire, she couldn't get any energy from these foods, but that little bit of kindness was precious to Sarah.
"Then you have to wait." Cao'er said, "It's been raining these days."
"Brother Zou and the others have already left. They will probably release those captured by the vampires soon."
Sarah didn't have much impression of Zou Ming. She only remembered Ye Zhou and Cao'er. Although other employees in the supermarket took good care of her, she didn't want to get close to them.
"Where's the Immortal?" Sarah asked suddenly, "He hasn't come to see me today."
She tore off the blanket wrapped around her body, without even putting on her coat, and jumped out of bed, stepping on the carpet barefoot. She looked up and asked Cao'er in a panic, "Where is he? I want to go find him."
Cao'er: "The immortal should be in the supermarket, in the lounge now."
So Sarah ran out immediately, and Cao'er shouted behind her: "Shoes! Put on your shoes! Don't catch a cold!"
But Sarah ran too fast and probably didn't hear her at all. Cao'er could only catch up with her while holding Sarah's shoes.
"Can't I use the intercom?" Wu Yan was sitting in the lounge. He felt a little restless and only dared to glance at Ye Zhou's expression.
Ye Zhou was looking at the computer with a pen in his hand. Zou Ming and the others had already left. Before they left, Ye Zhou gave them a lot of weapons purchased from the system. He wished he could equip Zou Ming and Zhou He into a division.
Zou Ming was very receptive and he accepted whatever Ye Zhou gave him.
But Zhou He couldn't do that. He protested against too many things and he was almost overwhelmed.
Ye Zhou could only take away a little, so he was extremely uneasy and had been frowning for the past two days.
The employees could all see that Wu Yan said cautiously, "If the Immortal is worried about them, why don't I ask the Master to go with us? We can look after each other if there's anything else?"
Ye Zhou shook his head: "Too many people is not a good thing. You are learning the skills of fighting, not lurking."
Wu Yan: "Don't worry, Immortal. Even if Brother Zhou is not capable, there is still Brother Zou. Brother Zou is capable and nothing will happen to him."
Ye Zhou put down his pen, raised his hand and rubbed his temples, and said softly, "I hope so."
They did bring walkie-talkies and pinhole cameras, but because there is no internet here, the walkie-talkies have distance limitations and the sound is not so clear at a long distance. It is also the same thing as not bringing the camera, as the sound and images cannot be transmitted back at all.
Ye Zhou became even more uneasy because he couldn't see and know the situation immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the lounge was pushed open.
Wu Yan locked the door when he came in. It was easy to tell who was pushing the door open when it was locked.
Ye Zhou looked up and it was indeed Sarah.
Ye Zhou pushed the chair away and stood up. He pulled up his sleeves and walked over to Sarah with a smile, trying to hide his uneasiness. After he walked in front of Sarah, he leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Sarah raised her hands in a hugging gesture.
Although he knew that Sarah was not a child, Ye Zhou still did not refuse the hug.
Ye Zhou picked up Sarah and let her sit on his arms.
Just at this moment, Cao'er came over, holding Sarah's shoes in her hand. Ye Zhou glanced at the shoes, then turned to look at Sarah. He said seriously, "Why did you run out without shoes?"
Sarah hugged Ye Zhou's neck and buried her head in the crook of his neck.
Maybe it was because of her fledgling complex, the first person she saw in the dark was Ye Zhou, so she only felt safe when she was with Ye Zhou. This sense of security was something she had never had before, so she wanted to grab it desperately.
Ye Zhou patted Sarah on the back: "Have you eaten?"
Sarah shook her head gently: "I'm not hungry."
Ye Zhou: "What are you going to do this afternoon?"
Sarah: “Watch cartoons.”
Ye Zhou smiled and said, "Okay."
Although Sarah's physical age is not young, she lacks a lot of common sense because she has lived in a closed and terrifying environment since she was a child. Sarah cannot read and does not know the difference between men and women. Her mental age is even lower than that of a ten-year-old child in Ye Zhou's original dimension.
After all, when Ye Zhou was in elementary school, many of his classmates had fallen in love early.
So Ye Zhou didn't think he should reject Sarah's closeness.
"Watch it with me." Sarah rolled her eyes.
Ye Zhou: "...Cao'er, can you help me? I have something else to do this afternoon."
Sarah: “What do you want?”
Ye Zhou: "I'm going to take a look around the town."
Sarah shuddered. She didn't want to recall what happened in the town, but she still tried to pretend to be calm and said, "I'll go with you."
"I know which ones I can get in without being discovered."
Sarah said, "There are blood slaves imprisoned under the castle."
"My mother... that woman locked them up there, and when someone died, she threw them out and buried them in a pit."
"We will keep those who are not dead alive and take their blood from them every once in a while."
"Other vampires will come too." Sarah said, "That woman will hold a party, and every time she holds a party, many blood slaves will die."
When vampires party, they forget about sustainable development.
Sarah said that the vampires would release the blood slaves, but they could not escape from the castle. They enjoyed the process of chasing prey and believed that this would stimulate their instincts. The captured blood slaves would have their necks bitten immediately.
By the end of the banquet, none of the blood slaves whose necks were bitten survived.
The blood slaves who were not caught would be captured by the guards and locked up underground again, waiting for the next banquet.
However, even if the blood slaves could escape from the castle, run to the streets and seek help from the townspeople, the final result would still be that they would be handed over to the guards by the townspeople, and there would be no possibility of them being kicked out.
Ye Zhou's eyes lit up: "Come and see if you can draw the entrance."
He would not take Sarah back to that town, but he now had a photo of the entire town. It didn't matter if Sarah couldn't draw a map, she could just draw the route on the photo based on her memory.
Ye Zhou patted Sarah's head and said, "Thank you for your help."
Sarah shook her head: "It's not hard."
She hasn't done anything yet.
Since she came to the supermarket, she has been either eating or sleeping. Although Cao'er would take care of her, she only checked whether she drank water and ate on time.
Sarah looked into Ye Zhou's eyes and said, "Do you want that town?"
Cao'er told her what Zou Ming and the others were going to do in the town.
Ye Zhou: "I don't know yet."
Zou Ming has already gone, and now that he says no, it seems like he is taking advantage of the situation.
Sarah asked, "Are you going to kill everyone in this town?"
Ye Zhou was silent for a while and then said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
"The vampires are all in the castle during the day. Although there are guards, most of them are humans. Vampires also need to sleep, so they sleep in coffins during the day." Sarah, "We don't need too many people."
Her voice was calm, but still full of malice. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a terrifying smile, but Ye Zhou couldn't see it. She said, "It only takes a few people to kill the guards, lock the vampires' coffins with chains, and then burn them."
Sarah's voice suddenly became shrill: "The flames will burn them to ashes! Find their hearts and pierce them with something silver!"
Ye Zhou did not show any discomfort when he heard Sarah's sharp voice. Instead, he reached out and rubbed Sarah's head, and said softly, "You can try."
He knew that Sarah hated these vampires. He had heard Sarah say more than once that she was going to kill her mother and brother.
So since the past cannot be changed, it proves that either they did not succeed or Sarah's mother and brother escaped.
But he didn't want to disappoint Sarah.
What's more, Ye Zhou had no psychological barriers to killing these vampires whose hands were stained with blood and who kept killing people.
Vampires don't need to rely on sucking human blood to survive, animal blood is enough.
Although it does not provide as much energy as human blood, it can still sustain life.
Ye Zhou put Sarah on top of Sarah and put the photo in front of her: "Draw it."
Since Zou Ming and Sarah both hope so, let’s do it.
Ye Zhou looked out the window.
It was pouring rain outside, covering up most of the view, and the whole world became hazy.
