Chapter 57: The Trap
Chapter 57
This is a large ship, a million-ton ocean-going freighter. The cabin is densely packed with a large number of goods from all over the world. Clothing, sneakers, sports cars, appliances, countless goods are piled up in every inch of space in the cabin.
But at this moment, in the middle of the pile of goods, a clearing was cleared. It is surrounded by more than a dozen shipping containers, which surround the open space, forming a huge room-like space.
In the center of the clearing, a rough, stone-like, crudely carved coffin sits in the center. At this time, the coffin lid has been lifted. It was filled with slow, crimson blood. Through the dim light, a faint human figure can be seen beneath the blood.
And at this moment, around the coffin, an extremely terrifying and terrifying scene is happening. A vampire dressed in black with fangs in his mouth was dragging a human like a sailor and pinning him down in front of the coffin.
The paw of its right hand slashed lightly at the other's neck. Blood gushed down the arteries. The vampire took a deep breath, as if enduring a great temptation, and pressed the other man's neck against the coffin, allowing all his blood to flow into the coffin.
The crimson blood in the coffin appeared to boil somewhat, but strangely. The already full pool of blood, after adding some human blood, did not overflow, but remained just the right amount of full. It's as if there is something in the pool of blood that is absorbing the blood in the pool at an even rate.
In the gloomy surroundings, there was a muffled scream, but it soon lost its voice. Then another crew member was dragged out and the process was repeated.
In the pool of blood, a faint sound of breathing came out. The voice became clearer and clearer, as if in the next second, the figure would stand up from the pool of blood.
……………….
In Barrow Town, Lu Qiming and others walked out of the vegetable cultivation base. The surroundings had become empty, and it looked like the vampires were indeed gone. However, Lu Qiming and others were not pleased. In particular, the sheriff and others almost sat on the ground and cried when they saw that the home they had lived in all their lives was razed to the ground.
"We need to search for survivors, as well as food. I know all Eun is tired of you and sad too. But we don't have time to suffer now. We need to seize all the time we need to survive. Then understand it all. Lu Qiming mobilized everyone to go to the mobile phone supplies.
Previously, they were in a vegetable cultivation center. Unfortunately, this is a small workshop. And it seems to have just been picked once, and there is only a small portion of the vegetables in it that are not yet ripe. There is not enough for everyone to eat.
An hour later, the group returned to the meeting point. However, the gains were extremely limited. A dozen pieces of somewhat charred bread, a few cans of beer, and some raw, frozen beef. Lu Qiming and Liu Qing still had some compressed biscuits, but they were prepared for themselves. This food is only enough for others for about two days.
"The nearest city is about three hundred kilometers away. We lost all our means of transportation. With the current road conditions, plus the blizzard, we may not be able to get out in a week. God, who will save us. ”
The sheriff, who has always been strong, has also become a little desperate at this moment. Darkness, cold, blizzards, everything was preparing to annihilate them.
Lu Qiming separately convened several people from his side to discuss.
"I don't care what you've been through, the situation is such that we need everyone's strength. Now we are in a very delicate situation. Since we are not allowed to leave this town, I need your advice. ”
Lu Qiming already had an idea himself. But he needs to know if the two surviving newcomers in front of him can think independently and clearly under this huge pressure. Fighting is such a thing that can be gradually cultivated in the future. However, a calm and rational mode of thinking, which belongs to human nature, is more inclined to be innate.
After a night's rest, Xu Lei's mental state has become much better now. But the whole person is still a little sluggish. Especially when he looked at Xu Qing, there was an obvious sense of fear. It seems that the picture of Xu Qing stabbing the gangster to death in front of him scared this young man a little.
Xu Lei opened his mouth and wanted to say something first. But at this time, Xu Qing spoke, which made Xu Lei quickly shut up. Just stared at each other and spoke.
"It's a vampire retreat, and we're facing now, ostensibly about food and warmth. But that's just a trap. First of all, let's not say that we don't have enough food, and even if we can find more food from the sea, we will never be able to do that. We need to be proactive and find those vampires. ”
Lu Qiming smiled slightly and said.
"Tell me your reasoning."
Xu Qing felt Lu Qiming's encouraging tone and continued.
"First of all, this world is facing a vampire crisis, right? If this is the case, then they will never let us go like this. Within thirty days, we will inevitably be attacked again. The only thing is why they left all of a sudden. This may be the key to our mission. ”
After Xu Qing finished speaking, Xu Lei decisively closed his mouth. He had wanted to say that he had watched a video of fishing under the ice at the base to help them get food. But now it seems that he has thought a little simpler.
Lu Qiming glanced at Xu Qing with some surprise. According to Liu Qing's description, Xu Qing's performance along the way was a little more than expected. She's not just a mistress on the surface. There was some kind of huge emotion hidden in this woman's heart. And now I keenly thought of the biggest trap of this mission. Lu Qiming couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of person she was in reality.
"You're right. I had interrogated the homeless man and had learned some information from him. For example, those vampires come from deeper ice fields. The first thing they attacked was the giant freighter north of the town. At that time, there were more than 30 of them, but there should be more.
This also shows that the black-clad vampires we met before are not all of them. Secondly, after they occupied the freighter, they only converted a dozen crew members as subordinates. More of the crew were imprisoned by them to the lowest level of the ship's cabin. This is the biggest doubt and key point of the whole mission. If I'm not mistaken, there's probably the key to the birth of these vampires. It could be some kind of item, or something like a real ancestor. They reserve blood, trying to wake up the thing.
If we decide to survive the remaining twenty-nine days in the town. Then it is estimated that in ten days, or twenty days, we will face an unbeatable opponent. This is the way God has always been. Until we receive a hint that the mission is complete, it will never allow us to survive the remaining twenty-nine days. So, we have to be proactive. ”
