Although it doesnât matter, he just recently relied on his familyâs connection with one of the previous Commanders of this region.
The position is with practically no obligations. The terrorists donât dare attack the dam because of the large number of soldiers guarding the barracks, which are part of the international force of the New China Federation.
Therefore, Li Tie planned to have here a life of **. Just a few days ago he happened to see ** that took his fancy and abducted. That is ** the male was a bit annoying.
However, after that guy was eached a lesson he wonât come back, right?
Li Tie just wanted to go back ** his night activities ⊠a fully armed soldier suddenly rushed inside in panic to report .
âReporting to the Officer, the barracks are under an attack!â
âWhat? How many? Did they stated the name of their organization?â
Real terrorists came to make trouble, ah! The hairs all over his body erected after hearing sounds of explosions coming from the outside.
This barracks is being defended by more than a 1000 soldiers, and terrorists actually dare to come here to make trouble, ah? Everything is going to be alright ⊠absolutely everything is going to be alright.
However, after Li Tie consoled himself.
âItâs only ⊠only one person.â
âOne person?â Li Tie opened his small eyes wide as he eyed the soldier: âAre you kidding me? Could it be a Power User?â
Among humans, existed a group of people born with inconceivable abilities âŠ, that by far outmatched ordinary people.
They are existences equally feared as Lu Qiu.
If itâs really a Power User, then one only can escape!
Itâs much more scarier than an army, ah!
Just as Li Tie ran out of the barracks, he became completely frightened without being able to move.
âShoot! Shoot! Youâre not allowed to retreat!â Unyielding ⊠yells sounded, as a group of soldiers holding rifles aimed at a distant shadow and pulled the triggers.
Explosions rang all over the barracks, as flames illuminated the night.
The barracksâ aged Sergeant is currently leading the resistance against the enemies.
His vigorous voice **, is the backbone of the entire troops!
Well done! Sergeant! Iâll give you a promotion after you repel the enemy! After Li Tie saw this scene, as the barracks highest ranking Officer, he only wanted to find a safe place to hide, let alone being in charge âŠ
Only âŠ
âGrrrrrrrr!!!â
In the direction at which everyone was shooting, the place where flames were burning, a monster appeared in the middle of the flames and charged at a great speed towards the soldiers that pulled the triggers.
The humans in front of the monster named The Hunter, by Lu Qiu, are unable to withstand a single blow.
The huge sharp claws easily teared a soldier into three pieces of mincemeat, which fell on the ground, as blood splattered everywhere.
Bullets were pouring down in torrents at the monster, but were unable to injure its ** scarlet skin in the slightest. The monsterâs mouth was several times longer than its body **, it bound a soldier and pulled him towards its mouth to bite at, emitting unbearable sounds of crushing bones.
What is that disgusting devil! Li Tie shuddered while seeing that lone monster, like a tiger among a flock of sheep, easily gnawing on the soldiers and tearing them into pieces.
The fatty couldnât control his body as he sat on the ground.
Eventually that monster noticed the fatty sitting on the ground!
The monster and Li Tie looked at each other for a moment, and Li Tie actually recalled the male that just a moment ago was taught a lesson and was thrown out the barracks.
Is it really him? Li Tie didnât got an answer, because his head was already severed by that monster. Sharp claws pierced into Li Tieâs body, as his head flew through the air with a fearful expression frozen on his face for all eternity!
âGrrrr!!â It once again roared, as it faced the sky it seemed to be acclaiming its revenge!
While on the other side.
âDespair despair despair.â
Lu Qiu then came in through the barracksâ gate without hiding or concealing himself whatsoever, because the barracks already sank into a sea of fire.
The sounds of humans howling and shrieking felt so sweet in Lu Qiuâs ears.
âThatâs it.â Lu Qiu made a beeline towards the damâs management office in the rear of the barracks.
Not paying any attention towards The Hunterâs slaughter.
âWho are you? Stop right there!â Finally somebody noticed the outsider Lu Qiu in the chaos. A wounded soldier that seemed to be helping his comrades that were wounded by The Hunter, discovered Lu Qiu, then raised his a.s.sault rifle and aimed at Lu Qiu.
Lu Qiu, as if not hearing him, continued onward towards the dam management office.
âStop right there! Stop right there, otherwise Iâll open âŠâ
Before the soldier said the word âfireâ, his comrade that he was helping wrap the wounds just a moment go, suddenly pulled him with blank eyes, opened his mouth and bit at the soldierâs neck.
What the f.u.c.k! The soldier watched the comrade that turned strange and felt pain in his neck. Being a well trained soldier, he immediately pointed the muzzle of his gun at the madness-stricken comrade and pulled the trigger!
âBang!â
A shooting sound rang as blood splattered âŠ
âWi ⊠wicked! Itâs youâre fault!â The soldier on the ground watched Lu Qiuâs back as he indifferently continued onward and suddenly realized something. Seeing that all around the place his comrades were turning into monsters, the soldier greeted his teeth and gathered the rest of his strength to aim the muzzle at Lu Qiuâs head.
âItâs you who made them like this!â
But the trigger was never pulled.
âGrrrrrrrrrrr!!â The Hunter with a wave of its claw turned the soldier into several pieces mincemeat.
At the same time Lu Qiu received a warning in his mind.
Receiving Despair Pointsâ reminders became slowly more common, which signifies that humans dying in despair has became more common, consequently, the corner of Lu Qiuâs mouth rose higher in excitement.
It is precisely this kind of feeling ⊠the collapse of the social order, humans despairing in death, it still is far from sufficient to make this city ⊠this world to sink into despair.
Humans, doomsday is nigh.
At last, Lu Qiu arrived safely in front of the dam management officeâs entrance, pushed the door open and went inside.1
Compared to the outside noisy environment, it was somewhat more quiet inside the management office, as the outside sounds gradually diminished.
The sound of Lu Qiuâs footsteps reverberated â there were a lot of pipes on the wall that transported some necessary energy â as he walked along the pipes into the damâs innermost.
At last he saw a small pool.
Itâs a testing pool with flowing water, where the water is checked whether it meets the required standards. And the clean water is connected to ⊠if not mistaken, itâs connected to the whole cityâs water supply channels.
Introducing the virus into it will lead to the cityâs collapse, much like the barracks! Falling into despair and darkness!
Lu Qiu was getting impatient as he took out the crimson container, and just like Pandoraâs box ⊠with the wondrous **.
Just as Lu Qiu wanted to open the container.
âPut down the container in your hands!â A rough-sounding yell came from behind Lu Qiu.
âTch!â Lu Qiu turned to look at the shadow walking out of the corridor, wearing a green uniform, with large amounts of blood flowing from the abdomen â from his determined appearance and temperament, he seems to be a veteran.
The Sergeant that just a moment ago was in command luckily escaped from the attack, then saw the suspicious looking Lu Qiu and followed him until now.
After he saw the dangerous-looking container in Lu Qiuâs hands, he had a slight feeling that it was the reason why the barracks had been turned into h.e.l.l.
Virus? If the same scene that happened in the barracks would happen in the city, then the consequences would be disastrous!
The Sergeant fought against the pain in his abdomen, raised a pistol in his hand with some remaining bullets â being in close proximity, he aimed at Lu Qiuâs forehead.
âRegardless of your goal, now ⊠put down the container in your hand.â
âOh my, I was caught in the end.â
Lu Qiuâs scarlet eyes watched the Sergeant, as he slowly lifted his hand â not surrendering, but rather moving the container in his hand to above the waterâs surface.
âYou!â The Sergeant holding the pistol **, suddenly became unable to keep his calm.
âDonât get too excited.â Lu Qiu jokingly said to the Sergeant: âThis small bottle will fall into the water in case you shoot me, oh. A good soldierâs priority should be the protection of the civilians, right? If youâre careless, the civilians you protect will turn into monsters just like the people outside, ah.â
The Sergeant clenched the pistol in his hand as he sweated in torrents, not daring to blink his eyes observed Lu Qiu.
Lu Qiu was also the same, although he looked relaxed, yet inside he was somewhat fearful. He didnât have a resilient body like The Hunter and could still be killed by a head-shot.
He can be killed by the Sergeant!
Lu Qiu doesnât intend to die before completing his objective.
Lu Qiu calmly faced the Sergeant.
âDonât fool around or you will bring a disaster upon humanity, youngster if you have any demands, Iâll try my best to comply!â
The Sergeant spoke in a slightly gentler tone â as Lu Qiuâs outward appearance was very young, adding his pale skin, he gives people a sense reminiscent of a junkie.
If one has even a bit of common sense, one will immediately realize the danger that this kind of character poses.
But itâs a pity that the reason Lu Qiu is like this is because he isnât a human.
âHumanity?â Lu Qiu opened his eyes wide, as if looking at an idiot, and said to the Sergeant: âI do not care about this kind of thing.â
âDo you know how many people will die? People will lose their family, their lives and their happiness! Could it be that you lack any kind of compa.s.sion?â
The Sergeant roared.
Lu Qiu listened to the Sergeantâs speech ⊠but then suddenly lowered his head, making it so that the Sergeant couldnât see his expression.
Compa.s.sion?
Family?
Happiness?
âJiâer, ah ⊠you like your ge-ge the most âŠâ2
âJiâer, after you grow up, you must become ge-geâs bride!â
âGe-ge is the only man for me, oh âŠâ
âThey seem to have found us, why do humans loath us so much? Is it because we belong to a different race?â
âGe-ge Daren ⊠thereâs only us, its most fortunate that we can keep on living!â3
The last scene was of a young girl swallowed by flames. The young girlâs suffering expression, as if a brand, was deeply carved in Lu Qiuâs heart.
Lu Qiu laughed, a heartfelt laughter arose and reverberated in the entire corridor.
âWhatâs so funny?â
âCompa.s.sion? Ha ha ha ha!â Lu Qiu clenched his face: âDo you humans have it? Do you?! That child also hadnât harmed anyone! Not what so ever! But you still pushed itâs young body to burn at the stake, ah! We are monsters! Monsters are being hunted down by humans without any compa.s.sion! Therefore ⊠expect the same treatment from us!â
Lu Qiuâs eyes bloomed brightly, so that the Sergeant couldnât help but take a step back.
This male ⊠heâs already crazed!
âPut down the container in your hand!â The Sergeant put his hand on the trigger, but the beautiful and translucent crimson virus in Lu Qiuâs hand was already poured into the pool.
After several hours, the ignorant humans will drink the liquid thatâll bring despair upon them!
âYou madman!â The Sergeant roared, wanting to pull the trigger, yet a sharp pain arrived at his heart!
The Sergeant dropped the pistol from his hand, as he sank to the ground while clutching his chest.
âIâve had enough of being humanityâs prey.â
Lu Qiu stared at the pathetic Sergeant groveling on the ground, as his left hand spilled a scarlet radiance, the hand as if ** holding a beating heart.
âNow Iâm the one hunting ⊠you are my prey.â
Lu Qiu became more and more blurred in the Sergeantâs line of sight, and he became aware of where the pain in his heart came from.
This male has a Power! The thing in Lu Qiuâs hand ** couldnât be anything else than the Sergeantâs heart!
âThanks to me, youâll die and become an ordinary corpse.â Lu Qiuâs squeezed the Sergeantâs ** beating heart, as his left hand clenched it more and more.
âAnd wonât become one of those zombies, that would kill its so-called relatives, ah.â
The Sergeantâs final memory is of the smile on Lu Qiuâs mouth **.
A dull bursting sound arose from the Sergeantâs chest, as Lu Qiuâs left hand also finished **.
Indicating that the heart in Lu Qiuâs hand was clenched until bursting.
Seeing as the Sergeant had already become a corpse, strength left Lu Qiuâs body and he sat on the ground. He then checked his current Despair Points in his mind while gasping.
The value displayed was zero.
Lu Qiu all along had been waiting for more soldiers to die outside, and consequently gain more Despair Points, finally exchanging them for a Vampireâs basic skill.
âHeart Squeezingâ
Within a 3m scope, capable of using the Vampireâs instinctive blood manipulation ability to squeeze an ordinary personâs heart.
Only, Lu Qiu currently doesnât has enough Despair Points, and could only exchange for a one time use skill with an approximate deduction of 1,000 Despair Points.4
Itâs easy for Lu Qiu to collect Despair Points, therefor, it worthwhile to have them fall in such a fashion.
Because tomorrow ⊠there will be tens of thousands of Despair Points pouring towards Lu Qiu.
The revolution ⊠has already begun.
Lu Qiu as a Vampire, doesnât know why, but he looks forward to tomorrowâs dawn.
