Were the vampires human?
Chu Hao couldn't guarantee that the vampires in Bloodthirsty Daybreak were human. However, Chu Hao was confident that the vampires in Bloodthirsty Daybreak were human.
First of all, the vampires in Bloodthirsty Daybreak were all transformed from humans and possessed the consciousness and memories of humans. At the same time, the vampires in the movie could transform back into humans by soaking in water while basking in the sun. Therefore, it was definitely possible to treat the vampires as humans. Although Zhang Heng didn't know whether the Level-1 spell, Charm Person, targeted the body or the mind, it should be able to charm the vampires in Bloodthirsty Daybreak.
Now, the key was another one. It could charm the vampires, but … could it charm the Fallen?
In Bloodthirsty Daybreak, compared to the vampires, the Fallen could be considered a different kind of creature. Their bodies had been completely deformed, and their memories and consciousness had begun to disappear. Even their humanity had begun to disappear. Therefore, Chu Hao wasn't sure if he could charm the Fallen.
After Charm Person was cast, Chu Hao and Zhang Heng widened their eyes, trying to observe the Fallen's performance. Just as Zhang Heng slightly relaxed the suppression on the small Fallen, it didn't immediately escape or attack. It even stopped trembling slightly. It stood there and looked at the two with its ugly face.
"Success!"
Chu Hao and Zhang Heng exchanged glances with each other. Their eyes were filled with surprise. However, they were not in a hurry to be surprised. The two of them worked together to pull the rusty lock on the large door. After the two of them exerted all their strength, the large door was finally pulled open slowly. Immediately, an even denser rotting smell seeped out from within.
After Zhang Heng shone the emergency flashlight and confirmed that there were no living creatures inside, the two of them brought the small Fallen into the room and closed the door. Only then did the two of them let out a sigh of relief.
The entire room was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight square meters in size, and it was dark inside. When he shone the emergency flashlight into the room, he saw that there was an electric light in the room. After identifying the direction, he used the Level-0 Repair Cantrip again. This time, however, his breathing became a little faster after he cast the cantrip.
As expected, I can only cast two Level-1 spells or six Level-0 spells a day. I've already used two Level-1 spells today. The arcane energy in my body is almost depleted. If I continue to use them, will my life force or mental strength be drained?
Just as Chu Hao was deep in thought, the repaired light bulb suddenly lit up and illuminated the entire room. This place … was actually filled with a large amount of experimental equipment and various specimens. There was also a gigantic bat skeleton on the ground. The entire skeleton had completely decayed and turned into dried bones.
Chu Hao and Zhang Heng looked at each other. Chu Hao walked over to a table and picked up some papers and documents. After rummaging through them for a while, he began to carefully examine the documents. Zhang Heng, on the other hand, carried his metal bow and began to search the room. Only the small Fallen stood there obediently. Its eyes were fixed on the giant bat on the ground.
The two of them and the small Fallen remained silent for about ten minutes. Then, Chu Hao suddenly spoke. "Ares, can you hear me? J, can you hear me? I'm Chu Hao … Damn it, the signal … "
Zhang Heng turned to look at Chu Hao, who was talking into his ear. He was surprised to see that Chu Hao's face was ashen. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened? "As soon as he finished speaking, he walked to Chu Hao's side and started to look at the documents on the table.
"… 14th March, 2010. The plague has been brought to an end. A new round of antidote experiments has been carried out …"
"… 7th April, 2010. The research team has been split up. The antidote research team is one, the virus research team is one, and the underground exploration team is one …"
"… 2nd May, 2010. The antidote research team was ordered to stop all experiments and was forced to split into other teams. I was the only one who persisted. Of course, I was forced to resign from all work, so I had no choice but to retreat here to continue the experiments. I can no longer see the light of day. The same goes for my daughter. No, never …"
"… 2010 … Forget it. Time is meaningless to me and my daughter. We will not age under the influence of the virus … The results of today's experiments are still invalid. The virus is not a normal virus. It is a symbiotic gene fragment. When it infects humans, it will combine with the human gene fragment. There is no possibility of separating the gene fragment. The experiment will continue …"
"… Human blood can effectively prevent the gene fragment from eroding the original human genes. The current goal of the experiment is to completely stop the gene fragment from eroding the original human genes. The current goal of the experiment is to completely stop the gene fragment from eroding further …"
"… Experiment failed …"
"… Being unable to consume human blood for a long period of time will cause the erosion to intensify and eventually degenerate. The government seems to call these degenerates the Fallen. What an appropriate name. After losing their consciousness and consciousness, they will no longer be human. What will they become in the end? I … seem to be in the process of such a transformation … "
"… After consuming human blood, there is a sweet taste. In fact, after my experiments, this is not a feeling transmitted to me by my sense of taste. It is a feeling transmitted to me by the human genes in my body. This is the human genes struggling to resist the vampire gene fragment …"
"… The discovery of the Fallen in the sewers. Because they are unable to purchase the expensive human blood, they are slowly degenerating? How sad … "
"… Beginning experiments on the Fallen. Analyzing the gene fragment in their body …"
"… What a shocking transformation! As human genes gradually turn into vampire genes, the Fallen have become stronger and stronger. Furthermore, the gene fragment is getting closer and closer to the source of the plague … the gene fragment of the underground humans. "
"… Beginning the second round of experiments on the Fallen. From various experiments, it is clear that the Fallen have an extreme passion for human blood. This passion even surpasses their instinct for life. Even if human blood is exposed to the sun, the Fallen will rush forward as soon as they discover it. Even if they consume a small amount of human blood before they are burned to death, they will still do so. Is this the doing of the vampire genes in their body, or … is it the remaining human genes that are forcing them to do so? Continuing the experiments … "
"… Beginning the third round of experiments on the Fallen. I will feed the Fallen the blood of other Fallen and force the vampire genes in their body to grow to an extreme level …"
"… God, we … we were all wrong! Vampires, we are not vampires at all. At most, we are just infected humans. If you want to find the right words from those vampire novels, we are at most blood slaves … Only when the Fallen begin to consume the blood of other Fallen will the vampire genes in their body overwhelm the human genes. When the human genes completely disappear, the Fallen will no longer be interested in human blood. They will only be interested in the blood of other Fallen or vampires! Because … that will allow them to become closer to real vampires! We were all wrong … "
"… Experiment … After being bitten by a Fallen who has completely turned into a vampire, everyone, or us who call ourselves vampires, will become Fallen. The human genes in our bodies will disappear in the shortest amount of time …"
"… I've noticed it. The Wise One has recovered from the Fallen. He's been talking to me very politely. He even invited me to enjoy the Fallen that they've hunted together. His form is very similar to the source of the plague, the Subterranean human. No, he should be a true vampire, right?"
"… The stronger the Fallen, the deeper they go. They want to consume the purer vampire blood. What they want the most is the blood of the source of the plague. Of course, they don't mind drinking some of our blood. Just like how the vampires on the surface view humans as livestock, they … view us as livestock. How ironic …"
"… I was bitten by him. He said it was The Embrace. No, I don't want to become a monster like that. Even now, at least I'm still in human form. I don't want … Daughter, live on. At least you have to live on. I will inject you with this failed immunity potion. Even if you become a Fallen, I hope you won't forget that you are a human …"
Zhang Heng had also finished reading the documents. He raised his head and looked at Chu Hao in a daze. He saw that Chu Hao was standing there with an ashen face. He was facing the little Fallen, whose face was filled with fear.
"This is … his daughter?" Zhang Heng asked curiously.
"It should be …" After Chu Hao said that, he closed his eyes and fell into a daze. It was not until a few minutes later that he opened his eyes again.
"I see …"
Chu Hao rubbed his brows and said with a bitter smile, "I see. All the clues are aligned …"
"I was wrong from the very beginning!"
