Chapter 756: Chapter 756 Vampires Alliance
Chris Weiss was the deputy mayor of another nearby town. The mayor had been trapped in the town when the flood appeared and his exact whereabouts were still unknown. He had temporarily a.s.sumed the role of a leader to help with organizing the rescue. However, because he couldn’t get in touch with higher-level people, the only thing he could do was to help the people who had fled to the mountains, rely on a few policemen who he was familiar with to maintain law and order, and try to find food and medicine in the debris floating in the flood.
Especially food. The shortage was already quite severe. With only a little bit of food brought by other people who fled to the mountains from their homes, they were unable to survive long. There were quite many people in the mountains, they needed a large amount of food every day. Yesterday, someone was so hungry that he went back to the nearest town on a rubber inflatable bed taken from a seaside vacation. However, until this evening, he still had come back.
Adults were able to endure hunger much longer. Especially the elderly people. They didn’t need much food. They could survive for a few days by just relying on water. But children, especially infants, needed food more than adults. Tragedies like death caused by starvation were p.r.o.ne to occur. No matter where and when, during the famine, it was children who die of starvation the most.
Chu Yunsheng and the group of people that were following him were riding horses while carrying shotguns behind their backs. When they appeared, their menacing look startled many people. If it was only the adults that were hungry, those people that had fled into the mountains may not want to come out to stop them, but now that it was their children that were hungry, so they had no choice but to come out. In addition, in such a big flood, those horses would completely lose other functions except for food. The people in the mountains believed that even if they would not be able to convince Chu Yunsheng’s group, they would be able to kill a few horses with the guns they had.
Mayor Chris, as the negotiator, was sent out by them and stopped in front of the vampire knights. First of all, he tried to express his intentions in a very friendly tone.
After all, the great flood had just occurred not long ago, although things like looting and robbing were inevitable, he still believed that people were willing to help each other out.
The vampires were also no longer the vampires who regarded humans as lowly beings in the Middle Ages. They had also been integrated into human beings. In some respects, they also regarded themselves as members of human beings now. They had the same family and life as human beings, and their only difference was their bodies. In recent decades, some vampires even insisted that they had an ancient genetic disease and wanted to cure this disease desperately, hoping to return to normal humans.
They would not sympathize with adults in the mountains, but some of them would sympathize with extremely hungry children, because some of them were also parents, and the most important thing was that they indeed had food with them.
But sympathizing with them was one thing, giving them horses was another thing. They needed to get to the next vampire headquarters as soon as possible in this terrible storm and flood, and to do that, they needed those horses. They couldn’t afford to waste time here.
Moreover, even if those vampires sympathized with those people, it was not up to them to decide whether to give those people anything. So when they heard that the other party wanted horses as well as their food, they all stopped the horses, waiting for their lord’s command.
“Tell him that there is no horse or food. If they want to shoot us, then let them shoot. We don’t have many bullets left, so don’t use firearms. Draw your swords. If they dare to shoot us, kill them all!”
Chu Yunsheng said indifferently. He had already noticed that behind the mayor more and more people began to surround them.
He had experienced so many things like this before.
People’s desires were always endless. He knew that even if he gave them all the food they had, it would not be enough for the people on this mountain. So once they found out that they were willing to give them food, they would definitely want to ask for more. Since this was the case, it was better not to give them anything.
Buterne rode the horse forward and told Chris the words of Chu Yunsheng. After that, she drew out her sword and waited for the other party to move out of their way. At the same time, the other seventeen blood hors.e.m.e.n also slowly rode their horses forward to line up with Buterne while drawing out of their swords.
The people in the mountains had already lost their minds because of hunger. Although Mayor Chris had repeatedly expressed his willingness to use money and other valuables to exchange for food, Chu Yunsheng and his group still refused to give them the horses. Since the peaceful talk would not walk, they decided to use force to take their horses away.
As he gesticulated in the rainstorm, gradually more and more people started to surround them. Seeing this, Buterne raised her sword and was about to order all the blood hors.e.m.e.n to charge to break out from the crowd with her.
At this time, Chu Yunsheng’s gaze fell onto an area in the distance. In the heavy rain, he couldn’t see the figure behind the rain, but he could feel the smell of vampires, and it was the smell of the wounded vampires.
From where he was to the place where the smell came from, he had to pa.s.s a crowd of people. Moreover, the other party had probably noticed his group, and they were retreating quickly.
The Stephen family was the only family among the six vampire families he wiped out that had blood scriptures, but after Chu Yunsheng broke through the headquarters of Stephen’s family, he never found it. Only then did he start to chase and kill the remaining people who had fled from the Stephen family’s headquarters.
Not wanting to let them escape, Chu Yunsheng immediately jumped up from the horse, and approached the group of vampires quickly by stepping on people’s heads. In just a few moments, he stopped before the group of young vampires.
“Where is the blood scripture? Tell me, or die!” Chu Yunsheng said coldly.
He had already hunted down other vampires from the Stephen family along the way, but none of them had it.
“In your dream!” A vampire resisted his fear and refused.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to talk nonsense. He cut off the vampire’s head, then pointed the sword at the next person, “and you.”
The man’s face was pale, and he stammered, “I, I don’t know!”
Chu Yunsheng hacked down his sword again and then moved to the next person.
Seeing two heads falling to the ground in the rain, the next person shouted in terror, “You demon! The Vampires Alliance will definitely send someone to kill you, you—”
Chu Yunsheng hacked down his sword again and moved to the next person. “You all know what happened to the previous five families, if you tell me, I will spare your lives. If you still refuse to tell me, then I will kill you. Think about it clearly, and then tell me.”
The last two people, a man, and a woman looked at each other and then looked at the three bodies on the ground, completely shocked. “I, I–” the woman stuttered.
The male vampire hurriedly interrupted and said, “We are willing to surrender, Linda, kneel down, kneel down!”
As he spoke, he pulled the female vampire’s clothes forcefully, and forced her to kneel in front of Chu Yunsheng, and said anxiously, “We are willing to surrender. But the blood scripture has already been sent to the vampire alliance. We don’t have them.”
“Search their bodies, if there is really no blood scripture, then take them with us.” Chu Yunsheng said to Buterne who quickly followed him. He put away the sword, pointed at a place between the two small mountain peaks, and said, “set up camp there. Once the rainstorm stops, we will immediately set off here and go to the second base to meet up with Ashe.”
Both Buterne and Ashe had told him about this vampire alliance before. However, it was an organization with no real power. Although they might seek help from the older vampire families in Europe, they would not be able to get here anytime soon, so Chu Yunsheng was not worried about them.
Judging from the reactions from other vampire families, Chu Yunsheng also guessed that most likely, this alliance had all the remaining blood scriptures. If he was able to get them all, he would be able to find out what exactly happened in the past.
