Bloody and seductive: Notes of a Vampire

As night fell, we left the cemetery and set out again.

The number of zombies seen tonight is obviously much less than yesterday, whether in towns or suburbs.Apart from us, Ray and his party and vampire hunters from all over the place must have taken action.

After eliminating more than a hundred zombies that came out at night in Tarentuo City, we continued to travel south and came to a medium-sized town called Penknew.

There was no sign of the moon overhead, dense dark clouds shrouded the sky, and the air was particularly dull.I stood side by side with Pei outside the city of Penknew, staring at this town that seems to have sprung from the darkness.

The wind picked up quickly, and the dust and sand rolled up carried a strong smell of rancidity.The whole city of Penn New York is filled with this bad smell - the smell of the walking dead.

My eyes widened, and my heartstrings, which had been slightly relaxed, tightened again.What I saw in front of me was much more serious than other places. Walking into the dilapidated city gate, the long streets were empty, and rotting corpses could be seen everywhere, and suspicious noises could be heard from dark corners from time to time.

"Squeak, creak..." The half-collapsed door whimpered miserably in the wind, and there were fresh bloody handprints on the door.The last street lamp on the side of the road flickered faintly a few times and went out completely.

It was dead silent, without any sound of people, barking of dogs, not even a rat crossing the street.On the dirty stone floor, only the sound of our scattered footsteps echoed.

All the houses are dark, but they exude a restless atmosphere. I have no doubt that there are bloodthirsty bloodthirsty animals in every house.

I can imagine how the zombies invaded the place, infecting the townspeople they bitten into new companions.The town has been completely overrun by zombies and has become a city of the dead.

More than a dozen zombies appeared from behind the corner of the street, dragging their upright bodies and staggering towards them, carrying the smell of corpses.One of the zombies, with white maggots wriggling in its empty eye sockets, was decapitated by one of the guards before I could start to queasy.

There were a few muffled thuds again, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen zombies were lying on the street, and there was no more sound.Like most vampires, they cannot be revived without their hearts and heads.For vampire hunters, zombies are no easier to deal with than vampires.Because they have a crazy thirst for blood and strong brute force, they don't know fear and pain. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as "death squads".

The black blood gradually gathered into a stream, and the flames lit by Jingwei swelled instantly, jumping and dancing on the corpses of the zombies.

Peventis raised his hand slightly, and several strands of flames had already shot up to the surrounding buildings.The wind helped the fire, and it burned blazingly, and the houses on both sides of the street were instantly engulfed in flames.

From time to time, smoky zombies scurry onto the street like flies without their heads, and what awaits them are the long swords wielded by the elite guards.

Firelight danced in Pei's red eyes, and his quiet face flickered.At this moment, I understood his mind.

Complete destruction also heralds endless hope.In the future, a new human town will be rebuilt on the ruins that have been burned out of evil. Vitality and laughter will return here, and time will eventually erase all pain.

We continued to go deep into Penk New City, and wiped out scattered zombies in the spreading flames.When we turned around a row of white houses, we noticed an ancient building standing behind the square.

It was the largest library in the city. It was divided into three floors. The blue-gray exterior wall covered with vines was probably as old as the books in the library.

What attracts us is not its historical atmosphere, but the only strong popularity that we feel after entering this city of the dead, and the cries of children that are becoming clearer and clearer.Judging from the sound, there are at least hundreds of children in the library.

Mindless zombies are taking the town's children hostage?No one would believe this.But even if I knew it was a trap, how could I turn around and leave when I heard the helpless cries of young children? !

After listening quietly for a while, I asked Pei in a low voice, "Do you want to go back?"

I was worried that I would hear Pei's cold answer. After all, these hundreds of human children are nothing to him, but what he said was far beyond my expectation: "I'll go in, you stay here first."

"No, Your Highness, you can't put yourself in danger, let me take someone to investigate the situation first!" Retino immediately demanded.

I also stood in front of Pei, looked straight into his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Pei, you and I will advance and retreat together, I will not let you go alone!"

Staring at me, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of Pei's mouth: "Okay, then let's meet some old friends."

Hearing what he said, I already understood seven or eight points in my heart.

The person who is staying in the library to lure us in at this moment is the instigator of this zombie disaster!

After entering the library door, there is a bright hallway, which connects the narrow corridor and the upward staircase.There was no one around. On the right side of the corridor was a pool full of water lilies, and on the left side were independent reading rooms. The door at the end was open.The loud cries of the children came from there.

Without encountering any obstacles, we went straight to the double wooden door.

The scene inside was unobstructed. In the center of the hall, there were more than 130 boys and girls sitting or lying down, aged no more than 15 years old. Their dirty little faces were covered with tears, and their eyes and noses were red from crying.Around them stood more than a dozen zombies, their dull eyes proved that they were being controlled by people.

Other than that, we didn't see acquaintances.Of course, I have no doubt that they may have hidden their bodies.

With Retino's order, the Jingwei rushed into the hall and quickly eliminated the zombies.The children seemed petrified by the sudden turn of events and forgot to cry for a moment.Afterwards, some young children began to cry louder, and most of the children stood up and looked at us in bewilderment.

This place is full of dangers, Retino and I immediately stepped forward to help the Jingwei to comfort the children, telling the children that we are here to rescue them, and let them keep quiet and leave here as soon as possible.

Only Peventis stood far away like a statue, his red eyes narrowed slightly.

"Big Brother, where are Mom and Dad, I miss them..." A little boy asked me pitifully with his big eyes open, pulling at the corner of my clothes.

I knelt down and stroked his hair wordlessly.Can such a young child understand what kind of concept death is?

"Dad, I want to find Dad!"

A weeping blond boy burst out of the line, wiping his eyes as he ran in Peventis' direction.

"Hey, don't run around!" I was about to catch him back and bring him to the door, when suddenly I saw a sharp cold light flashing across Pei's red eyes.In the next second, Pei made a move.

The child's young body was torn apart less than 3 meters away from me.

What surprised me even more was that a naked black energy ball emerged from the child's splattered flesh and blood, spinning at high speed, and suddenly exploded.

There was a blank moment in front of my eyes, and amidst the deafening roar, I had sunk into the darkness.
