A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

Walking through a carriage full of gorging werewolves and enduring their dangerous gazes wasn't an experience to remember, but he could only trust Lucian for now...and he wasn't attacked, even though he was always in the back all the way. .

The compartment at the rear was the first to be emptied, and now there are only stumps and blood around, as well as various luxury decorations that have been torn apart.

Klein walked through the mess on the ground and pushed open the door at the rear of the car, but first found a red spot of light in the darkness.

Max stood in the shadows, smoking a cigarette. When he saw him coming out, he smiled at him and said in a low voice, "You are the one who came out. I won the bet."

"...Human?" Klein was shocked. It was hard to believe that there was a human being smoking leisurely on this battlefield where supernatural creatures were slaughtered into a sea of ​​blood.

"Yes, the same as you used to be."

Max reached out his hand, took out a small box from his pocket, and opened it in front of Klein.

He said before that he would go with Cheetos to spend the money... But in fact, the two of them went to another place and brought back something that he had already seen the effect of...

"What... what kind of blood is this?!" Klein felt that all the strength in his body was being sucked away by the dark red blood in the box, and he wanted to raise the knife in his hand in shock, but he had no strength left. All I could do was watch as Max splashed blood in his face.

Chapter 15 Deathwalker

Before coming here, Mike had grabbed Max and told him about several wonderful discoveries.

Mike said at the time that although time was limited and the sample size was not large enough to prove it thoroughly, he had an intuition that this must be true.

"...The genes of vampires and werewolves are as aggressive as viruses, but their structures are also relatively fragile. This is not contradictory, because the essence of retrovirus transmission is to use its own sequence to infect the host's DNA , Replacing the host's DNA for replication and expression, leading to lesions in host cells and even organs.

"Their gene fragments are abundant in the blood and have the ability to invade human cells.

"But at the same time, their genes are also more susceptible to breakage and collapse. Humans are actually prone to sunburn and skin lesions due to the influence of ultraviolet rays. Vampires have only greatly reduced the threshold of this effect, so that a small amount Ultraviolet rays can cause cell death. Similarly, werewolves are more vulnerable to silver ions because of their fragile genetic structure.

"The only solution is to further fuse and complement the source gene before mutation to form a structure with reduced transmissibility but a more stable structure. I think this is why they need me."

At that time, Max asked him: "...In other words, other things that can cause damage to the stable genetic structure of human beings can also be sure to have a stronger effect on vampires and werewolves?"

Mike replied: "Yes, but this effect must be fast enough, and viruses can't, because the aggressiveness of viruses is weaker than their genes, and they will only be 'digested' by them."

Max nodded thoughtfully, as if he knew why Selene reacted so strongly to the tainted wolf blood in the wasteland world.

The nuclear radiation that destroyed the entire world...satisfies all the conditions mentioned above.

Back on Amelia's train, the effect of the wolf blood collected by Max was so strong that Klein, who was splashed in the front, immediately covered his face and screamed.

His hair fell off in large pieces, and the skin on the top of his head and face was festered in a few seconds, melting into balls of scarlet, dripping on the railroad ties outside the train; He was out of shape, because his throat also started to burn, and he lost the strength to stand up. He could only lie on the ground and roll wildly like Amelia who was attacked by him just now.

Max strode forward, stepped on his chest that was gradually collapsing, shook his head at the distorted face of flesh and blood, and said: "...I'm sorry, I have to take you before the radiation completely destroys you blood. Promised 'Moon Goddess'."

As he spoke, he took out an overly large syringe, swung his arm violently, and nailed it into the heart of the vampire below him.

In the first few carriages, under the smashed windows, the werewolves in the moonlight were eating their mortal enemies.Suddenly, Klein's dying wailing resounded through the night sky, causing them to stop and raise their heads for no apparent reason.

At the same time, several round black objects were thrown from the car window.

"Varied……"

The voices of the werewolf's instinctive reaction hadn't finished yet, and the silver powder grenade had exploded suddenly.

Selene, who was wearing a full-face gas mask, leather gloves and a neck cover, and covered with a layer of gray fibers over the tights, protecting every inch of her exposed skin, after the explosion , kicked the fractured and sunken ceiling of the train, and fell from the sky under the white moonlight.

She had to dress up like this hairy owl because Max put some stuff in her weapon... If she didn't, she'd lose the fight faster than the werewolves.

The oval eyepiece of the gas mask blocked part of her vision, so she had to work harder to concentrate and maintain a stronger concentration than before when hunting; even through several layers of clothing, the silver sword in her hand still came The uncomfortable feeling reminded her to resolve the battle quickly.

The werewolves in the entire carriage were flustered by the grenade attack. The silver powder floating in the air and another unknown substance quickly corroded their skin, and their eyes and mouth felt burning and pain immediately. , followed by the trachea and lungs...

Selene let out a breath, holding a dagger in each hand, gritted her teeth and rushed into the chaotic pack of wolves.

She listened to her heartbeat, adjusted her long breathing through the gas mask, and felt the inertia of the weapon with her hands, drawing one silver arc after another in the air.

The werewolves waved their sharp claws in vain, but blinded, they couldn't touch her at all. Instead, one after another, the passing blades tore open throats, severed arteries, and slit chests.With her advancing footsteps, the blood was swung backward by the trajectory of the silver sword, and together with the weakly fallen corpse, it became a wreck that no longer had any meaning.

In just a few tens of seconds, she had already reached the end of the carriage and kicked the door open.

The werewolves behind were silent... They became part of the eternal silence just like the vampires they killed.

Behind the door stood Lucian, and a few werewolves.Seeing their brethren who fell to the ground, they howled in grief and indignation, but something floating in the air prevented them from approaching.

"Death walker..." Lucian squeezed out heavy words from his throat, staring at Selene who was approaching.

For the first time in hundreds of years, he felt that the name was really correct.Wearing a full face mask, Selene is like an emotionless killing machine, a messenger who comes to the world on behalf of the god of death, and has nothing to do but harvest the soul of the victim.

Speaking of which, he really didn't want to live anymore...but not now, not here.

The Werewolves will never stop until Victor and his bloody horrors are brought to an end!

Lucian stared at Selene for a few moments, then suddenly raised the double-barreled shotgun in his hand, and shot it with a bang.

The werewolf beside him couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed forward roaring along with the gunshots.But they were in vain—Selene suddenly turned around and escaped from the bullets and claws, leaving only the gray radiation protection suit in place.

The smell of radiated wolf blood is still spreading in the air, but there is not a high enough lethal concentration in this carriage, so that she can temporarily take off the protection, reveal a black and straight posture, and increase the speed to the limit...

Lucian couldn't even catch her figure with his eyes. He just felt the darkness before his eyes, and jumped back quickly, avoiding a white line that flashed from bottom to top.

Selene's silver sword failed to achieve success with one blow. This is the first werewolf to escape from her hands today.But she is still calm, or rather, her mind is always particularly clear when hunting; even in the era when vampires were most powerful, she was the strongest and calmest among the death walkers, let alone now... …

Two silver swords flew behind them, piercing into the hearts of the werewolves who had turned back with two puffs, quickly killing their lives, causing them to fall backwards, and leading those stupid wolves that had been emptied into nothing. Gained a few more seconds for her.

She didn't have time to turn around to confirm the result of the battle, but she had already pulled out a silver dagger from her waist, and continued to rush forward, chopping the gun that Lucian was about to raise and his fingers in two.

Lucian groaned in pain, stomped his feet, jumped up quickly, smashed through the ceiling and jumped onto the roof of the car, howling loudly at the moonlight, gray-black hair quickly covered his whole body.

Usually he doesn't want to transform, which involves unforgettable memories and pain from his youth.But this time it didn't work, the death walker was too fast, so fast that it surprised him... Even Victor himself never gave him such a strong sense of crisis.

"...No, she can't..."

Thinking of what Klein said, he couldn't help thinking, could it be that this death walker has already received the blood of the "key"?But it's not right... According to his calculation of the concentration of this bloodline, if she really drank the doctor's blood, then the fighting power she displayed should be far stronger than it is now.

Selene followed him and jumped onto the roof of the car, without giving him a chance to think again, she waved her hand and a silver light flew towards her.

Lucian gritted his teeth, slapped the silver dart flying angrily, and rushed towards her.

But he just persisted for a while...

When Max at the rear of the car struggled to climb onto the roof, he saw Selene lift off her gas mask and walk towards Lucian who was lying there.

Only then could she carefully take a deep breath, calm down her violent heartbeat, avoid the radiation dust floating in the train below, and come to Lucian's side.Her tight leather jacket was scratched under the ribs by sharp claws. If she hadn't been flexible enough, she might be the one lying there now... But taking advantage of this opportunity, she directly sent the dagger into the werewolf's spine , so the risk is worth it.

Seeing her blue eyes, Lucian suddenly felt sober when he was dying.

He could no longer control his body, and could only say to the death walker during the process of turning back into a human: "...Drink my blood."

He knew that vampires could extract memories from blood, just like the setting that the screenwriter specially added for the smooth progress of the plot...God knows how they did it?Maybe it's because blood is life force, and memory is part of life?

Selene raised her chin and nodded at him.She was actually curious, what would this werewolf remember?Would there be memories of screaming and slaughtering some whole human family, like she had?

At the moment when the sharp teeth pierced the blood vessel, Lucian also felt the coming of death.

"Sonia, here I come...No one can separate us..."

He muttered to himself, the light in his eyes gradually dissipating.

No.16 Chapter Doctor

In the tavern, Xue Li was making seedling trays.

The seedling Daiger and Chido brought back from the wasteland world is growing vigorously, and the leaves are beginning to take shape; this plant has heart-shaped stipules and oval leaflets. Xue Li, who had compared the pictures, was finally sure that this was a pea.

Although it is not a special plant, and it can be bought in large quantities in another world, considering that it survived in that environment, it also has special meaning to Wuvarini's mothers, Xue The carp still decided not to use it as food... The seeds of this pea plant will also be expanded and planted as the next generation, until they become large enough to supply to the tavern.

Although the grains are not distinguished, and even the pea sprouts could not be recognized at first, Xue Li enthusiastically planned to try hydroponic peas, and bought a bunch of plastic containers specially for this purpose.

Just as he was trying to fix the low square basin in the tray with cable ties, the door of the tavern opened, and Selene came in carrying a coffin, and Max followed behind her empty-handed.

... There is no way, no matter how strong a human being is, it will not be stronger than a vampire.

If you changed to a normal tavern, this behavior could already be regarded as provoking trouble, but since this tavern has no relationship with the word "normal" from the beginning, the owner Xue Li decided to endure it, and went to see what happened what.

After Max came in, he moved a few tables to make room for the coffin, and Selene put it on the ground with a blank expression, and lifted the lid.

"...doctor?" she asked in a low voice.

Mike, who was watching the excitement from the side, also came forward, looked into the coffin with Xue Li, and at the same time made a "hiss—" gasping for air.

Lying in the coffin was a thin and pale woman, who was already exhaling more than inhaling.Her hands were cut off at the root, and there was a large hole more than a foot wide beside her side, plus broken internal organs mixed together.

The moment she entered the tavern, her near-death process had been forcibly stopped. If not, everyone might have to face a corpse in a few minutes.But the vampire's strong resilience didn't take effect, because the blue-purple liquid stained on her wound was still emitting light, preventing the cells from regenerating.

"Who is this?" Xue Li asked.

"...Elder Amelia, one of the oldest vampires." Selene replied, not willing to say more about why she was rescued, and who made her into this half-dead state.

Mike examined the wound carefully and shook his head.He has never healed a vampire, but based on the experience of human patients, he infers that a large amount of blood transfusion and simultaneous arm and abdominal surgery are needed at this time; the problem is that he can never do it in this tavern, and once he leaves here, the already dying Amelia would be instantly killed by the UV generator that had flowed into the bloodstream.Live in this state forever in the tavern?It would be better to die.

Amelia seemed to know the result, she desperately opened her eyes and tried to control her voice, but she could only let out a "ho-ho-" breath from deep in her throat.

"Nothing is eternal, not even the life of a vampire." Max said softly from the side.

The title "Elder" is enough to prove Amelia's age. She has already lived much longer than the average human being. Maybe it is time to accept the reality and close her eyes to rest like all life in this world.

Amelia heard it too, her eyes calmed down a lot, and she slowly closed her mouth.

But Mike didn't accept it. He looked up at Selene and asked her, "So... my blood is indeed the key, isn't it?"

"Yes." Selene replied, "I learned everything from the memories of Lucian and Klein. You do have the same ancestor as our two races, and your blood is purer and your genes are more stable."

Mike nodded and continued to say to her: "Those three girls are not here, so... take me back to our world, take blood from me and feed it to this 'Elder Amelia'."

"Are you sure? You don't need to do this at all." Selene said, and Max next to him seemed to want to persuade him.

Mike stopped the two with a wave of his hand and said seriously: "I have been convinced since the moment my wife died beside me in a car accident, and of course it is the same now. I studied medicine to save lives. It is impossible to leave a dying patient alone when there is a cure for it.”

After accepting his "pure blood", theoretically, Amelia's genetic structure will become more stable, and foreign objects in her blood will no longer be able to pose an immediate threat to her life.After the abdominal cavity is sutured, another hemofiltration can be arranged, and these things will be excreted at that time.

"...But wouldn't it be dangerous for you to go back?" Max asked.

"...It's up to this lady to solve it. Take it as my consultation fee."

For Mike's request, Selene just nodded slightly.In fact, his safety is no longer a problem. The main force of the werewolf has been wiped out that night, and the rest are nothing but stragglers in twos and threes. They can't know about Mike; After that, it will cease to exist.

She has suffered hundreds of years of deception and betrayal, and at this moment there is only anger in her heart.

In the past 600 years, she has never forgotten that night, the roar of beasts in the wind, and the murder of her father, mother, sister and niece... The twin girls were only six years old at the time, but they collapsed like torn dolls. in a pool of blood.

Now that all is known, the matter is all the worse...for where the ferocity of a werewolf may come from an inherently uncontrollable wildness, the machinations of a vampire are pure and active evil.

She is even very grateful to Victor, who has been loyal to him for hundreds of years, regarded him as the blood lord, cut off all enemies for him, and has been hunting for his orders and her own hatred.Before the night she first walked in here, she had forgotten everything but killing...

"...I need more radiation," Selene said.

"...Then why didn't you save yourself?" Max complained, and then pulled Cheetos again.

He once complained that the people in the tavern regarded him as the President of the United States and wanted all kinds of weapons from him... Now it seems that one day these bastards will really ask him how much the atomic bomb costs per catty!

Amelia would be kept in the tavern for the time being to save her life while Max and Cheetos took lead boxes to the wasteland and bled some hapless mutant wolves.

Before everything was settled, the door of the tavern was opened again. This time it was Qido and Kia who came in with tears on their faces, and Gibb who had lost consciousness with a whole steel pipe stuck in his body.

"Save her...quickly save her..."

Needless to say, these girls must have also taken a fancy to the feature of this tavern that "no one will die here", and brought Gibb here to continue his life when the ambulance was too late.

Everyone present looked at Mike again, but he just shook his head after this inspection, and gave a conclusion that no one wanted to hear: "The heart stopped beating. The brain ischemia is already serious, and the brain cells are increasing Death, it is impossible to wake up now, and immediately after going out..."

"Wait a minute, what exactly happened to you?" Xue Li had to ask. I heard from the girls that it might be the wraith that killed the person, but the wraith doesn't need to use a two-meter-long steel pipe to pierce someone through, right?Shouldn't they be more inclined to use "the way of their own death" to harm people?

"No...it's not Freddy...it's a two-meter-tall brawny guy wearing a hockey mask, just like the killer Jason of Crystal Lake, this pervert is killing people in the camp!"

Luo Li shouted with tears all over her face, they are completely confused now, they never thought that what the police, father and other adults said was true, they were really "perverted murderers who imitated similar cases in Crystal Lake"!There is no mystical factor, and of course the cross and the salt are completely useless.

"Not exactly..." Max, who was about to leave, looked at Gibb's wound, frowned and said, "Did you see the moment Gibb was injured?"

"Of course I saw it..." The calmer Kia also said while trembling, "Gibb hasn't come back for a long time, so we went to find her very worried. After all, what happened to Freddy recently made people panic..."

What kind of camping party is going to be held in panic, I really don't know what to say to these high school students.

But anyway, that’s how it happened. Gibb drank half a case of beer in the camp and went to find a place to put water, but he didn’t come back for a long time, so the sisters went to the cornfield outside the camp to find her.

Gibb hadn't gone far, perhaps because the alcohol had made her drowsy, and when Lori and Kia found her, she was lying sprawled on the floor sleeping.The strange thing is that she took off her trousers, and the sisters wondered if she suddenly passed out halfway through urinating?There won't be such a thing, will it?

But immediately, there was a sharp scream from the depths of the cornfield, and the head of a young man with a visual kei band hairstyle was thrown out and landed right next to Gibb.The body of this young man who also didn't wear pants appeared staggeringly after that, and even took two steps before he fell limply to the ground, with bright red blood arrows spraying out from his neck one by one.

A tall and strong figure over two meters tall wearing a hockey mask pushed aside the corn stalks and came out. He held a steel pipe broken from the railing in his hand, and nailed Gibb to the ground with one stroke...

[15. No. 15]

Thinking of the scene at that time, the two girls cried again, and Lori said in a crying voice: "...We, we wanted to save her, but that guy was too strong, he threw Kia to the other side of the camp in one fell swoop. Heading towards the camp. I saw someone set fire to the liquor and throw it on him, but he brandished the machete like he was completely unaffected..."

In that case, they were very lucky to be able to rescue Gibb and find a "door" to come here.
