Like most villages in northwest China, the village is nothing special, with a hardened asphalt road running through the houses of more than 50 families. The streets were clean, free of clutter and the corpses that everyone imagined were dead on the streets.

Luo Zhigang looked at Zou Lang with puzzled eyes.

"It's all in the house." Zou Lang said and walked into the first courtyard at the entrance of the village.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw two corpses, a man and a woman, lying on the ground, the clothes on the corpses were very intact, there were no external injuries on the outside, and there was not a trace of blood on the ground. The corpse's face was pale and slightly shriveled, and its wide-open eyes seemed to have been greatly frightened before death.

Judging by the integrity of the body, it seems that the person died not long ago.

The crowd left three houses in a row, and all the corpses showed the same state of death. The unknown is the biggest fear, and a trace of fear hangs over everyone's hearts.

"In pairs, let's scatter around the village to search for any other clues, and Xiao Dan will take a closer look at this female corpse." Luo Zhigang commanded with a solemn face.

After all, Xie Xiaodan was born as a nurse, so she squatted down and began to carefully examine the female corpse little by little. Chi Hua also stood aside and watched and didn't leave.

"Captain, the corpse is very strange, we all ignored it just now, the paleness of the corpse's face is not the paleness of normal death, but the paleness of the body without blood. Yes! Xie Xiaodan suddenly exclaimed, "Captain, look here, there is a wound." Xie Xiaodan said and lifted the head of the female corpse slightly, revealing two small hole-like wounds on her neck, which were pale blue around the wounds.

"Brother Hua, borrow your knife and use it"

Xie Xiaodan took Chi Hua's knife and quickly slashed it on the wrist of the female corpse, "Look, there is no blood flowing out, it's terrible, the blood in this body has been sucked up!" ”

"Did an animal do it?" Luo Zhigang asked with a heavy face.

Xie Xiaodan shook his head, "You can't see it from the wound alone. ”

"Captain, there's a situation here!" Qin Yurou's shout suddenly came from outside the house.

……

As soon as Luo Zhi entered the house, he frowned, and seven or eight corpses fell on the ground, although there were no wounds on the body, but it can be seen from the broken furniture and torn clothes all over the floor that the people in this room resisted violently before they died.

Qin Yurou, Zou Lang and others were standing in front of a small half-length cabinet standing in the corner of the room at this time, the door of the cabinet had been opened, and when they looked inside, there was a little girl who shrunk into a ball and was still trembling.

"Don't be afraid, baby, it's okay, come out." Qin Yurou opened her hand to the little girl, and her tone was surprisingly gentle.

The little girl burst out crying, and her body trembled even more.

Qin Yurou had to reach out and take the little girl out of the cabinet, the little girl was about five years old, and her big eyes were full of fear.

"Ghosts, ghosts!" The little girl cried and screamed, desperately dragging her body out, very resistant to Qin Yurou's hug.

"Let me do it." Xie Xiaodan stepped forward to take the little girl, and stroked the girl's forehead with one hand at the same time, a warm air flow wrapped the girl, and the girl sobbed twice and fell asleep in Xie Xiaodan's arms.

Xie Xiaodan took care of the little girl, and the others searched the entire village again.

When they returned to the house, they were all pale. At this time, the little girl was lying on the kang in a group, and she was already sleeping soundly with Xiaodan's cloak on her body.

"Big brother, we counted, a total of 132 people died in the village, and there was no survivor except this little girl." Zou Lang reported the situation to Luo Zhigang in a low voice.

"Chi Hua, what do you think?"

Chi Hua was looking at the sleeping little girl on the kang in a daze, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and he came back to his senses when Luo Zhigang suddenly clicked it.

"Judging from the scattered traces of resistance, it doesn't look like an animal did it, it should be a person, although I can't confirm the number, but I believe that the number will not be small, these people should all died last night, Xiaodan, do you think?"

Xie Xiaodan nodded lightly.

"Do you believe in vampires?" Chi Hua asked suddenly.

"Chi Hua, have you watched too many science fiction novels and movies?" Qin Yurou still remembered the hatred just now, and did not give up any opportunity to fight back.

Chi Hua didn't answer Qin Yurou's words, but said to himself: "All legends have prototypes, and from a medical point of view, it is explained that vampires may be infected with rabies, because vampires are photophobic, hate pungent smells such as garlic, pale complexion, and have mouth muscle twitches and desire to bite are all consistent with the symptoms of rabies." By the way, there are also ways of infection, all of which are infected after biting. ”

"Brother Hua, you know too much! It simply makes some breastless and brainless women embarrassed! Li Xiaofei suddenly came up and looked at Chi Hua with adoring eyes.

Chi Hua continued: "What if we explain it from another angle? Ancient legend has it that vampires possess supernatural powers, and in addition to immortality, vampires also possess far superior strength, agility, and the ability to recover quickly from blood. If you think about it, the power we have now is actually supernatural in the eyes of ordinary people, and it seems to be no different from vampires in other ways except for immortality. Before the war, the Chinese Laboratory of Special Functions issued a statement saying that the superpowers that appeared in various places have existed since ancient times, and if vampires are a type of superpowers in ancient times, what do you think of this explanation? ”

Luo Zhigang gently rubbed the short beard on his chin and muttered in a low voice, "You said that this massacre may have been done by an evolutionary like us?" ”

"Big brother, what you have as a transformation evolutionary is the power of a cow, Zou Lang has the wings of a bird, and there are still people who have the speed of a leopard, the strength of a bear, and the mimicry of a chameleon. If someone inherits the characteristics of an animal with the ability to suck blood, what do you think they might have? Chi Hua asked with a smile.

Luo Zhigang nodded, "You have a point. ”

"That's not right!" Luo Zhigang suddenly shook his head again and said, "You just said that this massacre was not done by one person, and we have never encountered a situation where many people awaken the same ability?" ”

"Maybe there was only one evolutionary who awakened the ability to suck blood at first, but you overlooked one point, and that is the contagiousness of vampire animals!"

Luo Zhigang's eyes lit up, "You are very right in your analysis, what kind of vampire animal is that?" Bats, mosquitoes or leeches? ”

"There are a lot of blood-sucking animals in nature, in addition to those few common ones, there are vampire moths, vampire fish, vampire finches and even bed bugs, but judging from the bite marks of the deceased's corpse, it seems that the biggest possibility is that they still have the ability to vampire bats, I hope they only awaken the ability to suck blood and can't fly, otherwise it will be a big trouble!" Chi Hua suddenly said with some worry.

"How many people do you need to suck the blood of the whole village? Shall we go back to Xiaoqingshan and find some help? Hearing Chi Hua say this, Li Xiaofei was the first to start worrying.

"Coward!" Qin Yurou, who was bound to take revenge, took the opportunity to kick Li Xiaofei's buttocks, "There may not be so many, I heard that bats are particularly capable of sucking blood, and it is said that 4 vampire bats can drain the blood of 1 cow in a year." No matter how many stinky bats come, this girl clicks them! Although Qin Yurou said bats in her mouth, she glared at Li Xiaofei with vicious eyes.

"There is also a possibility, if we assume that this evolutionary is contagious, the people in the village may not all be killed, and there may be a possibility that they will be infected and taken away." Chi Hua continued to analyze.

Luo Zhigang suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment in his mind, "Let's go back and re-examine the corpses of the villagers to see if there are obviously fewer corpses of young men?" ”

Soon everyone met in the house again, and from the face of a person when he entered the house, Luo Zhigang knew the answer, and what he was most worried about had happened.

"What does this bastard want to do? Is he going to form an army of vampires? Luo Zhigang suddenly became irritable and circled back and forth in the house, "We must kill this bastard, if we allow him to develop, the survival of mankind will face a greater threat!" ”

"Don't worry, big brother, he can't run. If he is alone, if he hides in the vast sea of people, it is really difficult for us to find him, if he pulls up a team, then sooner or later his traces will be exposed. Chi Hua comforted.

"Ahh The little girl who was asleep on the kang suddenly let out an exclamation, perhaps dreaming of something, rubbed her eyes and woke up, first looked at the people in the room in confusion, and then cried with a wow, "Mom, Mom! ”

Xie Xiaodan hurriedly hugged the girl in his arms and comforted her gently. It took a while for the girl to stop crying.

"Baby, tell Auntie, what's wrong with Mom?"

"Mom was eaten by youkai, there are many, many youkai."

"What do youkai look like? Tell my aunt about it, I haven't seen it yet. ”

"The monster has red eyes and long teeth, and it bites my mother in one bite, and I'm so scared to hide in the cabinet! But my mother wouldn't let me out. ”

"Don't be afraid, there are aunts here, and there are so many uncles, we are all here to catch monsters. Tell your aunt what's your name? ”

"Chen Jiaojiao."

"Jiaojiao, where's your father?"

"Dad went to be a bad guy in the People's Liberation Army!"

Chi Hua was stunned for a moment, hurriedly looked down at several corpses on the ground, and suddenly took a few steps forward and turned over a young female corpse with long hair.

Chi Hua finally knew why he felt familiar.

Chi Hua's two fists clenched loudly, "Brother Luo, I won't let go of these bastards, even if I chase them to the ends of the earth, I have to pull them out." ”

The Beidou team gathered the corpses of the whole village and put them in two rooms, and asked Yan Jie to light a fire and burn them together.

Two raging fires suddenly ignited in the village and continued for a long time. Against the backdrop of the firelight, eight fast horses rushed out of the village and galloped west......
