While Huang Qiuyan was observing the foreign ent.i.ty in her head, Fu Mian couldn"t help but feel uneasy. Huang Qiuyan was staring at her blankly for about fifteen minutes. She called her out many times, but Huang Qiuyan didn"t respond. On top of that, Huang Qiuyan was turning paler with each second like she was watching a horror show. Fu Mian was young, but not stupid. Her IQ was high for her age. Though Huang Qiuyan couldn"t harm her, Fu Mian didn"t like getting bitten.
Fu Mian waited for a minute. Her patience was running out. She had been unlucky recently. First, the vampire hunters kidnapped her from the school bus when she was coming back home from the school. Then, the rogue converts found her by her scent. The hunters and the rogues fought. One of the rogue converts managed to kidnap her and ran away. When the hunters didn"t stop following the rogue vampire, he threw her at the mall and run away. Then, a female human found her and asked her some questions. Fu Mian didn"t like humans. So, she didn"t answer her questions. The female human left her in the children section to play with other kids and went away. The kids were also humans, ugly and loud. So, she hid in the playhouse. She spent the rest of the day hiding and waiting for her daddy to find her inside the playhouse
When she heard a lot of screams, she was scared. She didn"t dare to come out. She covered her ears and closed her eyes. She didn"t know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was this ugly converted vampire who found her before her father.
"Aunty, are you okay?" Fu Mian threw candy on Huang Qiuyan"s face in annoyance. The candy hit right between her brows and then, fell into her lap. Huang Qiuyan was finally awoken. She widened her eyes.
"Did you hit me with a candy?" She asked.
"I wanted to throw the tray, but it is heavy for me," Fu Mian replied seriously.
Huang Qiuyan didn"t look happy or amused. "Little Doll, what was in that candy?"
Fu Mian c.o.c.ked her head and crossed her arms. "Ugly Aunty, did you not taste blood before? What kind of vampire are you?"
The system interrupted Huang Qiuyan with a loud warning.

[System: Dear Host, kindly run away as far as possible from this creature. This creature is found to be extremely dangerous to host. The creature has been fed the blood of a pure-blooded vampire to increase its survival rate. The creature is found to contain a type of inactive magic in her blood that is highly dangerous for you. You are likely to combust into ashes if you accidentally drink her blood. ]
[Host: You didn"t tell me where is the uninstall b.u.t.ton.]
[System: Dear Host, I can"t be uninstalled. We are stuck for life.]
[Host: How did install yourself in my head?]
[System: Dear Host, Apocalypse a.s.sistance System was designed and built by Dr Jane Doe from the alternate world number 5KV09. World 5KV09 is a parallel dimension. Dr Jane Doe designed the Apocalypse a.s.sistance System to help the people survive during the apocalypse. To test out the system, she released the prototype of Apocalypse a.s.sistance System in your world through the psychic dimension to test the system. You are the first chosen test candidate for the system. If you fail to survive, I would be wiped out completely.]
Huang Qiuyan rubbed her forehead. Her head was throbbing with pain. She only found out yesterday that vampires were real. She even turned into a vampire. Now, there was a foreign system software in her head. Was she a computer now?
[System: Dear Host, you were chosen by Dr Jane Doe because your survival chances were extremely low. During an apocalypse and post-apocalypse, children and women are most vulnerable. Since you have low IQ and physical strength, you were one of the perfect candidates. However, she overestimated the humans of this world. Last night, I couldn"t activate myself in time and you died too easily. I tried to keep your heart beating despite the odds. I used the vampire venom and the mana from the arrow to manipulate your body. You are currently the only sane converted vampire in the whole world. I couldn"t formally activate myself because of your low strength. When you took the blood candy, I received the energy to properly install myself in your mind.]
[Host: So you saved my life?]
[System: Dear Host, that is my job. I don"t want your thanks. Kindly run away from this dangerous child or kill her without letting her blood out.]
Huang Qiuyan stared at the little girl who was eyeing her with curiosity. The system was a psychopath. How could anyone kill this child? Look at her round eyes. Her round cheeks. Her chubby fingers. She is so cute. Huang Qiuyan wished to adopt her as her own daughter.
[System: Dear Host, please do not get distracted by her cute looks.]
She ignored the tensed system and decided to ask the little doll herself.
"Little Doll, where is your home?"
Fu Mian raised her brows. This vampire didn"t know her. Where did this vampire come from?
"I don"t know." Fu Mian really had no idea where her home was. Her home was far from the bus station. Usually, her father would drop her at the station in his car since it was mandatory to take the school bus. Then, they would wait for the school bus to arrive.
"Who is your father?" Huang Qiuyan didn"t find it unusual that the little doll had no idea where her home was.
"My father is the vampire king. You know who he is," Fu Mian replied without batting her eyes.
[System: Dear Host, this information is wrong. Her biological father cannot be a vampire. I have looked into her history. She was kidnapped by the pure-blooded vampire after she was born. She was supposed to be killed, but the vampire king decided to adopt her and raise her as his daughter on a whim. Her real parents were ordinary humans. Her mother died in the grief of losing her only daughter. Her father remarried after a year. Last night, He was attacked along with his new family. They were infected with the vampire virus.]
[Host: So, she is orphan now?]
[System: Dear Host, her adopted father is a pure-blooded vampire. She was kidnapped by the vampire hunters when she was returning from the school for special children. The vampire hunters wanted to use her blood to kill all the vampires. However, the rogue vampires attacked them. One of the rogues converted vampires managed to take her away. When he was running, the vampire apocalypse started due to the celestial events. The converted vampires started to lose their sanity. The converted vampire couldn"t carry on running along with her. He abandoned her in the mall.]
"Where does he stay?" Huang Qiuyan didn"t know what to say. This little doll had gone through some bad stuff.
"He lives in a castle."
"Where is that castle?" Huang Qiuyan was having second thoughts. This little doll"s adopted father didn"t look like a good person. He might have ulterior motives to keep her alive.
Fu Mian paused for a while before she answered, "It"s somewhere far away."
Huang Qiuyan sighed.
"Little Yue, do you remember your father"s phone number?"
"He doesn"t like phones."
Huang Qiuyan exhaled and inhaled loudly. She really wanted to know what kind of person didn"t like to keep phones in the twenty-first century.
The scent of warm blood filled her nose. She heard voices. She put a finger in front of her lips and gestured the little doll to keep quiet. There were three males with guns. They were heading toward the food section of the mall.
"I don"t think that it"s a good idea." It was a male voice, somewhere in his mid-twenties.
"Do you want to starve? We have been hiding for hours. The children need food. We need to go in." The second male"s voice was haughty and mature.
"But...what if those monsters are here?" The first male asked timidly.
"Didn"t you hear them? They said that it was okay to come out as long as we do not go to dark places. Those monsters are hiding in the dark places because they cannot tolerate the sunlight." The third male spoke this time. He paused for a moment. "It"s just like in the movies. Vampires can"t walk under the sunlight."
"Why should we believe them anyway?" The first male was rather suspicious of whoever was helping them.
"Lu Yuan, do you even remember what happened last night?" It was the third male. "Those monsters won"t die whether you stab or shoot them. They are the only one who can deal with them. We have to leave the city soon. They were saying that the city became the nest of these monsters. I heard them say that those monsters will come out again at night now. In the future, these monsters will even come out at daytime."
There were survivors. They were hiding somewhere. She turned to look at the little doll. What should She do with this girl? Should she send her away with these humans? She didn"t trust her adopted vampire father. She wanted to keep the little doll to herself, but this child was human. This child should be living with humans.
"Hey," She leaned toward the little doll. "There are humans below. You should go with them."
The little doll s.h.i.+fted her eyes in annoyance and said, "Don"t send me with them. I don"t like humans."
"Why?"
Fu Mian straightened up in her chair and looked into Huang Qiuyan"s eyes.
"I am Fu Mian. I am a n.o.ble vampire princess."
Huang Qiuyan could hear the sound of Fu Mian"s erratic heartbeats. Then, she realized something crucial. Her own heart wasn"t beating.
[System: Dear Host, the apocalypse started due to rare celestial events. These events harmed the converted vampires most. The converted vampires have lost their sanity and turned into mindless blood drinking beasts. The celestial energies have also physically changed the converted vampires and their venom. Their hearts do not beat or pump blood. These newly converted vampires cannot be killed by the enchanted woods or cultivate. Currently, you are the only new converted vampire who can cultivate. If you do not start cultivating or drink blood, you will die soon. I suggest that you steal the blood candies and kill the girl to avoid future complications.]
[Host: Vampires are not immortal?]
[System: Only pure-blooded vampires are naturally immortal. A convert like you have to work hard and cultivate to reach immortality and survive in the apocalypse.]
Fu Mian saw that the vampire woman was lost in her thoughts again. She rubbed her forehead like an adult and frowned at her.
She climbed off the chair and said, "We should leave now."
"Where are we going?" Huang Qiuyan stared at Fu Mian.
"If you send me home, my daddy will reward you heavily." Fu Mian was little disappointed that her daddy couldn"t find her already. Why was he late? This ugly woman was too weak to protect her, but she was also her only option at the moment.
[System: Dear Host, reject her offer and kill her. Take the candies.]
"Little Doll, I think that you should go to the human survivors" hideout." Huang Qiuyan ignored the system suggestions. She concentrated on the humans who were still in the food section. They were talking about heading toward this section.
"Aunty, I have decided. You will take me home." Fu Mian looked up at her. "I will teach you how to cultivate and become strong. Then, you can protect me until we reach home."
Huang Qiuyan was thinking other things. Leaving her at human survivors" hideout alone was risky. The child was too cute and she had seen a lot of zombie apocalypse movie. One could never trust human nature during tough times. Keeping the little doll with her was the best solution. She should meet her father and judge him herself.
"Alright, I won"t give you to them," She told Fu Mian with a smile.
