"… Based on the evidence collected at the scene, as well as the investigation report of the experts, it was found that the explosives used to blow up the sewers were high-explosive grenades, which then detonated the natural gas pipes in the sewers …"
"… Based on the fragments of the high-explosive grenades found at the scene, at least five high-explosive grenades were used at the same time, perhaps even more … Furthermore, we cannot rule out the possibility that they still have five to ten high-explosive grenades in their possession. If all of them were used at the same time, it is indeed possible to blow up an entire floor and cause the entire building to collapse. At the very least, the more than 14,000 humans stored in the blood bank would not be able to survive."
"At the same time, psychological experts have evaluated this group of humans. When they saw the humans stored in the blood bank, they were very dissatisfied and angry. However, they still retained their rationality and did not enter the feeding room. Instead, they injected the humans with tranquilizers and painkillers through an external remote injection device. The dosage is about twice as much as what we usually inject. Furthermore, it is still within the safe range. According to the evaluation of the experts, this group of people are not irrational thugs."
In an underground building not far from the company, it was the military encampment center of the city. At this moment, the conference room in the center was shrouded in smoke. A few vampire officers were discussing something nervously. Sitting beside the officers was an adjutant who was holding a document and reporting to them.
One of the vampire officers, a middle-aged vampire officer, asked, "Second Lieutenant, this report was obtained from the second floor of the sewers. So … how are the Fallen doing?"
The adjutant hurriedly flipped through another document and said, "A total of 476 low-level Fallen were killed and 3 mid-level Fallen were seriously injured. After that, the enemy's offensive weakened and issued a negotiation order. Currently, the negotiation team and the special forces have already headed to the fifth floor to meet with the high-level Fallen. At the same time, we have also handed over our investigation report to the other party."
The few officers were silent. The middle-aged vampire officer who spoke just now coughed and said, "Second Lieutenant, you may leave."
The Second Lieutenant immediately saluted, opened the door of the conference room, and walked out. The rest of the officers were still sitting there in silence, smoking.
It was not until a few minutes later that one of the black vampire officers slammed the table and roared, "Damn it! They are simply extorting us! They want us to compensate 3,000 young vampires and 5,000 new Fallen. At the same time, they want us to urgently provide 10,000 standard units of human blood and the formula for the synthetic blood. They are even afraid that we will falsify the blood formula, so when we are negotiating with those humans, they actually want to send a high-level Fallen to be present! What do those monsters think we are!? "
The rest of the officers remained silent. Only an old vampire chuckled coldly and said, "They're just treating us like livestock. I've long since understood that this world is nothing more than a place where the strong prey on the weak. Humans are eaten by us, and we're eaten by the high-level Fallen."
The black vampire officer clenched his fist so tightly that it made cracking sounds. Suddenly, he said fiercely, "Recently, their demands have become more and more excessive, especially the human blood. Every time, they ask for more than the last time. This has forced us to draw blood from the humans we are raising like crazy. Researchers have reported that in the past six months, the number of humans who have died from abnormal causes is more than 140 times the previous few years … … Drawing blood like this is like boiling us in warm water. Once all the humans die, we will eventually become mindless low-level Fallen. Then, we will be manipulated by the high-level Fallen and become their slaves!"
The old vampire asked in a low voice, "If we continue to draw blood at the current rate, how long can the humans we are raising and the blood bank's stock last?"
The middle-aged vampire officer immediately said, "We can still hold on for one to three months, but definitely not longer than that … … Actually, if we slow down the rate of drawing blood from now on, and give them enough rest, and continue to capture wild humans, then we have a chance of regaining the blood balance in five to ten years, and returning to normal human reproduction within twenty years … …"
The black vampire immediately said, "So, why don't we … … let's not pretend to be cordial. Normal Fallen are just beasts, and the mid-level Fallen are just more agile, stronger, and have a stronger combat sense. Only the high-level Fallen have intelligence and can control their own muscles. They are not afraid of most firearms, so they are slightly more troublesome to deal with, but they are few in number. As long as we concentrate our firepower, it should not be a problem … …"
"Then what about the top-level Fallen?"
The old vampire shook his head and said, "All weapons are ineffective against it. We've even tried using missiles and tactical nuclear missiles, but nothing worked against it. The blood flames burning all over its body can self-repair, and it can also create an invisible barrier to block physical and impact damage. It can also devour any organic matter to multiply. Even if we use a large yield hydrogen bomb to completely wipe it out, what about the subterranean Blood Breeds? Without it holding us back, are we going to fight them ourselves? You have to know that they still treat us as food, just like how we treat humans. They will never kill us, but the Subterranean Blood Breeds … … they want to exterminate us. Other than human blood that can harm the Subterranean Blood Breeds, only the Fallen's flames can harm us. "
The whole conference room fell silent again. After a long time, the old vampire sighed and said, "Let's prepare for the negotiations … … Tell those humans that we can pardon their crimes, and at the same time, we will allow some of them to be raised as humans, and we will establish a human reserve area. Of course, the monthly voluntary blood donation must be carried out, and at the same time … … the synthetic blood must be verified. If it is fake, then let them become one of the ten thousand standard units of blood urgently provided this time!"
A moment later, at about two o 'clock in the afternoon, Chu Hao and the others received a message from the upper echelon of the vampires.
"The so-called general trend doesn't necessarily mean strength, power, or dominance. Most of the time, the direction of history is also the general trend, the necessity of events is also the general trend, the cohesion of people's hearts is also the general trend, and even the enemy's coercion is also the general trend. As long as you grasp this point, all the decisions and arrangements you make will be the general trend of all things and creatures, and that will be the general trend. This is the so-called 'when the time comes, the heavens and the earth will work together'!"
Chu Hao looked at the document in his hand. It clearly stated the time and place of the negotiations, as well as the number of people that both parties could bring. When the sun set, the negotiations would begin. He continued reading as he spoke.
"The plot in the movie, from the appearance of the protagonist to the ending of the movie, in the short span of a month, more than ten thousand humans stored here have all died. And from some of the scenes in the movie, it can be seen that they all died of exhaustion caused by excessive blood donation. In other words, the blood consumption has increased rapidly in this one month. Of course, the government can't just have these ten thousand humans here, there must be many more humans stored in other places. However, in the original movie, a blood shortage began to appear, causing a large number of middle and lower class citizens to turn into The Fallen …"
"If we follow the clues we have, then the answer is very simple. In this one month, the underground vampires must have begun to madly attack the surface. As for the timing and reason … it's very likely that it started when the scouting bats discovered the secret of the vampires turning back into humans. If my guess is correct, both the vampires and The Fallen are in extreme need of human blood. For them, the blood synthesis formula is the general trend, and they have no choice but to step in."
Behind Chu Hao, Ares, J, Zhang Heng, and Tom were standing guard at the entrance of the feeding room with guns in their hands. After hearing what Chu Hao said, J couldn't help but ask, "Although all this has happened as you said, what's next? The negotiations will begin when the sun sets, at least eight or nine hours before we return. Once the negotiations begin, the fact that we don't have the blood synthesis formula will be quickly discovered. By then, forget about surviving the eight or nine hours, we'll be lucky if we don't get dismembered on the spot. Moreover, there will be high-level Fallen present to hear the negotiations, so … "
"We're dead meat!" Ares, Zhang Heng, and Tom said expressionlessly at Chu Hao, raising their thumbs at the same time.
"Don't worry about these details, young people …" Chu Hao waved his hand and said casually.
"How can we not care!" The four of them shouted loudly.
Chu Hao raised his glasses and his face twitched expressionlessly. Rather than saying that he was smiling, it was more accurate to say that his skin was twitching savagely. Seeing this, the four of them were secretly shocked.
"That's why I said just now …"
"The general trend is with us, we've already won!"
