The upper part of the entire factory—the wall bricks and the huge workpieces—seemed to have shifted, with the cuts so smooth as if they had been cut off by a knife, forming a rather obvious and spectacular "line".
Moreover, it extends from the direction of entropy!
"What happened? Jones... no! You did it?" Ruo Keke exclaimed.
Yin Shang replied, "Yes."
He walked over to the two of them, and Solid stepped forward to support him with concern.
"I think I can figure out my blood energy now. It's a kind of... cough, power that can directly sever space!"
“I can unleash a kind of ‘blade energy,’ which directly erases the space in the path of the ‘blade.’ It passed directly through the entire mirror prison set up by the ‘Strategist,’ and even… it seems to have affected the factory as well. He couldn’t withstand such widespread destruction in a short time, and the mirror trap he constructed completely collapsed.”
Coco scolded, "This is really reckless!"
...
"It's all thanks to me."
Yin Shang smiled, then became serious.
"It seems you've been attacked by him too. But the one on my side doesn't seem to be his main body either. He's still hiding in this factory. Let's be careful and make sure he doesn't separate us again this time."
Boom boom...
At this point, the long-neglected factory structure could no longer maintain stability in this disconnected state.
It made a huge rumbling sound, and the entire heavy and huge concrete dome was about to collapse!
Coco said, "I'll do it! [All Things in the Universe]!"
If Coco's eyes flashed with blood-red light, under the influence of her powerful blood energy, the sky that was about to crash down on them was directly deflected by her gravity and slid outwards.
But shock and terror instantly filled Ruo Keke's eyes.
After a night of fighting and lingering in the factory, they were completely unaware that the sun was already high in the sky.
The sun casts its warm rays, but for vampires, this "gift" means a painful death.
"Ahhh-"
Yin Shang's skin was quickly and intensely burned by the bright light, and he cried out:
"team leader!"
Coco covered her face in pain, crying out, "Ouch! Hold on tight! Let's get to the shadows over there right away!"
Solid's holy light barrier was completely ineffective at blocking the sunlight, and she could only anxiously try to shield the two of them from the light with her own body.
...
...
"Where do you want to go?"
Jones's voice rang out at just the right moment, nearly stopping the three men in their tracks.
With a snap of his fingers, the surrounding factory ruins vanished in an instant.
The illusion created by the mirror prison projected sunlight from all directions without any blind spots, forming a death purgatory exclusively for vampires.
Jones appeared not far away, looking at the three people who were extremely shocked and furious with a cold smile.
"Did you enjoy the sunbathing I prepared for you?"
He stood in the sunlight, seemingly unaffected.
"This is the biggest difference between us 'new humans' and you inferior creatures."
"I've had enough fun, it's time to call it a day. Please, everyone, leave now."
...
"Uhhhhhh-"
"ah--"
"Brother Yin! Miss Ruo—!"
Chapter 218 Wish
hours ago.
Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, only one person stood there, calmly brushing the dust off his clothes.
"Sir, you..."
When faced with Alexei, who had returned from the battlefield, the peacekeeping officers and soldiers were all dumbfounded and at a loss.
Because this soldier-like vampire annihilated all the bloodthirsty ones in a short time, and was almost unharmed, only covered in dust from the fighting.
Bang! Da!
Alexei stood at attention before the peacekeeping commander and gave a vampire guard salute.
"Vampire recruit Alexei reporting. Sir, the Bloodhate have been wiped out. Where is the medical camp? I need to rendezvous with my comrades and get some information."
...
Judging from his skills, fighting style, and appearance, he was undoubtedly a well-trained Russian soldier, or at least he used to be.
peacekeeping chief
The officer was amazed that the vampires had such elite special forces, but out of mutual respect, he did not pry into the vampires' past.
“She’s over there.” The officer pointed in a direction. “But I have some questions for you…”
He gestured for Alexei to look at the battlefield strewn with corpses.
"...You should know that peacekeeping forces never kill humans, right?"
...
Alexei understood the implication in his words.
"The Bloodhaters... These insane humans, already terminally ill and beyond redemption, deserve no pity. They are nothing more than a mob that uses the excuse of 'being squeezed out of living space by vampires' to disrupt the order of human blood. Because of their complex composition and the fact that they come from all over the world, no military or police force of any country, or even the peacekeeping forces of the United Nations Parliament, can effectively punish the Bloodhaters... I'm sure Your Excellency the Peacekeeping Commander knows this better than we do."
Alexei looked meaningfully into the eyes of the peacekeeping commander.
"They were one of the true enemies of the vampires. Out of 'self-defense,' the vampires had no choice but to annihilate them all, which was perfectly reasonable."
The peacekeeping commander chimed in, "...That's perfectly reasonable."
With that, the peacekeeping commander was relieved.
As long as the peacekeeping forces and the vampires maintain a consistent narrative and support each other in subsequent public discourse, it will be a win-win situation for both sides.
The peacekeeping forces eliminated the local bloodthirsty gangs without shedding a drop of blood, and the vampires were able to rightfully rid the local vampires of the bloodthirsty attacks... Congratulations!
Who cares about the fate of hemophiles?
...
“Oh, wait, Mr. Alexei.”
"That's what the peacekeeping commander said."
"The kidnappers inside the factory haven't been caught yet, and my scouts on the perimeter haven't made any progress. It's deathly silent inside, completely still. How's the situation with the vampire forces you sent in? Do you need our help?"
Alexei glanced sideways; the first rays of dawn were already appearing on the horizon, and staying outside was clearly "not healthy" for a vampire.
"Take me to the medical area to see my companions first."
The officer understood what he meant, smiled, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Alright, let's talk in private."
Soldiers are all pretty much the same profession, and Alexei quickly gained the trust of the peacekeeping commander.
...
...
...
As a result, after some time, all the operational plans that the peacekeeping forces had discussed with Alexei, Hilliot, and others failed without exception.
Because the entire factory is protected by a strange barrier, anyone who tries to enter will be teleported to the outer perimeter and will never be able to step inside the factory walls.
“Miss Hilliot, that’s the blood energy of the [Strategist], quite troublesome. The group’s 'Evolver Project' must be nearing its end, because he’s stronger than when I last saw him, it seems he has undergone the latest modifications.”
“I strongly advise against you or Lochina going in to find him. Although he may be hostile to peacekeeping soldiers, he may not be hostile to us vampires. Jones obviously wants to get some ‘success’ to report back, otherwise President Spyr will definitely be furious.”
Hiriote held Lochina, whose body was wrapped in bandages, both mother and daughter looking very worried.
Hilliot said, "But we can't just sit here and do nothing, what if they're in danger..."
Lochina looked up and said, "Mother! My brothers and sisters need help! Let Lochina go..."
Hilliot flatly refused: "No way!"
She held onto Lochina tightly, refusing to let go.
She then realized she might have been using too much force, so she quickly relaxed and gently stroked her hair.
"..."
"...Lochina."
"Mom won't allow you to go. Because you're that bad uncle's target, and if you go to save your older brothers and sisters, you'll be playing right into his hands."
"Mom, I won't venture deep into enemy territory either. Because Lingxi and I both promised you that we would never leave you."
"Also, Lochina, from now on you're not allowed to call us Queen Mother, you have to call us Mother or Mom. Okay?"
...
The Eternal Queen Hilliot, who once selflessly gave everything for her vampire people, is now just a mother who can be described as "selfish".
This was exactly what she had predicted for a thousand years, down to the last detail—
A child would not only become her biggest weakness, but would also render her incapable of being a queen and no longer qualified to rule her subjects.
A woman's greatest weakness is her own child, but history is full of queens who neglected their children and even killed them to consolidate their power.
For a lonely person like Hilliot who longs for family and to be loved, she is very clear about what having a child means to her.
After realizing that Lochina was her own flesh and blood, the last bit of pride she had as a queen vanished without a trace.
She was exhausted. A thousand years of solitude is not something anyone can endure.
"I am already a failed queen. At least from now on..."
I don't want to be a failed mother again.
By this time, she had already completely transformed the title of "Eternal Queen" into a buried part of history.
Because she tasted what she had been searching for for a thousand years, what she should have had had if her homeland had not perished in war, and if she had never become queen—
Love.
It was the love that Lingxi and Luoqina gave her.
As a wise man once said, "Love is selfless, but at the same time, it is very selfish to others." This statement is perfectly embodied in Hilliot.
Several years ago, on that grand wedding day, she, dressed in a blood-red wedding gown, and Lingxi held hands in a moonlit hall filled with rose petals, becoming whole under the blessings of the vampires.
At that moment, her heart, which had been empty for a thousand years, was truly filled by one person.
Now, she has completely relinquished the burdens of queen and has miraculously reunited with her beloved family and loved ones.
She finally became exactly what she wanted to be.
An ordinary mother, a woman who could enjoy family life and live an ordinary life.
...
When she came to her senses, she wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.
"Alexei, please go and think of a solution. I must stay here to look after Lochina, I'm sorry."
...
Alexei let out a soft sigh.
He had only been a member of the vampire clan for a short time, yet he could already sense the traces left by the Eternal Queen in every corner of the castle. He had also heard from the old ministers of the previous dynasty that the Eternal Queen had led the vampire clan to stand proudly in the world for thousands of years. Everything about her was already familiar to every native vampire through word of mouth.
Now, before Alexei, there was no trace of her former queen.
