Chapter 31: The Sweep

Bloodline keeps humans in captivity?

It's a very difficult assumption to accept, and just thinking about it can make people shudder.

But what if that's true?

To a certain extent, does it indicate that human civilization will completely decay, until it is enslaved by a new race, and finally goes to extinction?

This is not alarmist......

On the contrary, Xia Jian thinks that it is really possible!

Otherwise, there is no reasonable explanation for a series of strange things that happened on the ship Dingyuan.

…………

Meanwhile......

On the other side, with the entry of Xia Jian and Xie Cong, the crowd of people who were imprisoned in this small black room immediately caused a lot of commotion.

Perhaps because they were completely accustomed to the darkness, they seemed to be very afraid of the light......

After seeing the light, most of them covered their eyes with their hands and shrank into the corners with trembling.

Then he was very frightened, and looked at Xia Jian and Xie Cong with a little curiosity.

Most of these people had a sickly pale complexion, without a trace of blood.

Apparently it's because I haven't seen the cause for too long......

Most of the clothes on their bodies have been broken and ragged, and only occasionally some luxurious ornaments can be seen on some necklines and chests, which can be judged that these clothes were expensive in the past.

Many people's hair has also fallen out to varying degrees.

The eyes are even more hollow, without a trace of brilliance, lifeless......

If it weren't for the aura that emanated from them. If they are clearly human, at first glance, people who don't know the way will definitely mistake them for monsters such as zombies.

Of course......

That's just the majority of people......

In one of these corners of the crowd. There was a small circle of about a dozen people.

At the head of the group was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a crew costume, and next to him was a middle-aged beautiful woman in luxurious clothes.

Next to this man, there were nearly thirteen to fourteen people around, all of whom were also uniformly dressed in the work uniforms of the crew.

Compared to the other people in this room, these dozen or so people were also depressed and embarrassed. There was fear in his eyes, but at least it wasn't empty.

Other words......

They weren't completely overwhelmed by the environment.

Moreover......

When Xia Jian and Xie Cong looked at them, they were also looking at Xia Jian and Xie Cong.

It's just that there is a hint of hesitation in his eyebrows. It seems a little uncertain whether Xia Jian and Xie Cong are good or bad people.

To be precise, they weren't sure if Xia Jian and Xie Cong were human beings, or if they were those terrifying, bloodthirsty monsters......

……

"Did you just call for help?"

See them. Xia Jian couldn't help but think of the few weak cries for help before.

Those lifeless guys. Having completely lost the desire for life, it is naturally impossible to notice the situation outside.

The only explanation is these people.

Really......

Hearing Xia Jian's inquiry, the man at the head showed a look of ecstasy on his face, and nodded almost madly, "Yes, it's us, it's us who are calling for help......"

He has a reason to rejoice!

You must know that although the Lu Dao Blood Clan has a certain amount of wisdom. But they don't speak!

Since even the Bloods can't speak, let alone the Shadow Chaser!

"Can you move now?"

Now that the mind is still relatively clear. It's easy to do, what Xia Jian is most afraid of is these people, because they have been subjected to too long, they have completely gone insane.

"Well, you can ......"

The middle-aged man kept nodding his head wildly, as if he couldn't express his excitement if he didn't do so.

Xia Jian smiled understandingly, "What about the others?" ”

"Give me some time......"

"Hmmm......"

……

After a short period of communication, Xia Jian did not stay in this room for long.

The rest will be handled by those middle-aged men!

Although Xia Jian was also curious about what was going on on this ship, now, with their mental state, it was obviously not a good time to communicate and exchange.

The immediate task now is to get them out of here.

OK......

After losing the suppression of the invisible spiritual stance exuded by the spiritual blood clan, Xia Jian's spiritual perception is now the same as in other places.

The radiation range has reached a staggering twenty meters.

In other words, as long as Xia Jian wanted to, all the abnormalities and problems within a radius of twenty meters centered on him would not be able to escape his induction.

That's a long way off.

After all, the cabin is a very complicated place.

Moreover, after last night's efforts, the dark chasers who are still wandering outside are very least.

With the cooperation of him and Xie Cong......

A passage to the deck was quickly cleared.

Then he took Black Widow and the others over......

Forthwith......

With everyone's cooperation, an hour later, they finally succeeded in transferring these people to the Weiyuan.

…………

However, in the process of transferring, there were some hiccups that occurred.

That was when Xia Jian looked at these people and Yuguan walked out of the cabin, Xia Jian saw a woman in a black evening dress who seemed to have a lot of wounds.

And these wounds seem to be still bleeding.

It seems that he has just been injured......

Seeing her, Xia Jian couldn't help but think of the bloodstains in the corridor and the suit torn off the skeleton he had summoned.

At that time, Xia Jian was wondering, is this woman the one who escaped once?

I wanted to call her out and ask about it.

didn't think that when this woman faced Xia Jian's inquiry, she was expressionless and unresponsive, and the whole person was like a fool.

It stands to reason that since they can find an opportunity to escape from the place where they are detained. It can't be so sluggish!

"Are you scared stupid?"

Xia Jian was puzzled! In the end, I can only make such a reluctant explanation!

Pity......

Xia Jian couldn't read the skeleton's memories at that time.

If he could see the picture at that time, he would definitely not think so.

Because according to the intensity of the attack at the time, this woman. It's impossible to survive......

Moreover, he didn't notice that when he was trying to communicate with this woman, the middle-aged man had been staring at him nervously......

It seems like I'm worried about something!

………………

By the time all the personnel had been transferred, the clock in the cabin showed that it was already about half past six.

distance from the South-Eastern Military District. There were fourteen hours left in the agreed bombing time.

Time is running out......

Fortunately, at this time, it has reached the sea area around Shenzhen-Hong Kong City.

If the journey goes well, it should be less than two hours. Reach the port.

Other words! Before that, there are still two hours to rest......

……

If it was before dealing with the spiritual general-level blood clan, Xia Jian would definitely have arranged for everyone to rest now.

But after what happened just now!

Xia Jian suddenly had a new idea......

Although the specific number of these survivors has not yet been counted, Xia Jian estimates. It should not be less than five hundred.

An incredible set of numbers.

When a ship. Under the complete control of the Dark Chasers and the Bloodline, after drifting on the sea for half a year, there were still about 500 survivors.

However, Xia Jian doesn't care about what they eat in this small half year? What to drink?

Xia Jian only cared about their numbers.

Other than that......

In another corner of the cabin, Xia Jian also found a mountain of bones.

After preliminary calculations.

These skeletons, about 2,000!

Five hundred survivors, plus more than two thousand skeletons, plus nearly four thousand dark chasers who had been wiped out on the deck of the Weiyuan by themselves before. The total number of the three has reached more than 6,500 people.

According to the information seen in the control at the time. The total number of tourists on the entire ship, plus the crew and staff, should be around seven thousand.

After a simple addition and subtraction......

It can be roughly estimated that the remaining shadow chasers on this ship should be around five hundred.

And that's not counting the survivors who died elsewhere.

Or some survivors who jumped into the sea and died......

Subtracting this part, the remaining dark chasers on the ship should be between two hundred and three hundred.

However, during the day today, in the upper part of the cabin, Xia Jian had already cleared out two hundred shadow chasers.

Other words......

At this time, the Dingyuan, the remaining dark chasers on the entire ship, should be less than a hundred.

And, the real number, definitely not more than a hundred, only less!

Less than a hundred Shadow Chasers......

And on the whole ship, Xia Jian didn't feel that very depressed feeling, and in this regard, Chen Xi's feeling was the same as Xia Jian's! After careful confirmation by the two of them, it is certain that there should be no blood clan with too strong strength on the ship.

With such a level of threat, Xia Jian didn't pay much attention to it.

You must know that at this time, Xia Jian's hands alone have evolved more than a hundred.

What's more, there is also the cooperation of spiritual perception!

After the end, after deliberation, everyone unanimously approved and decided to take advantage of the two hours left to arrive at the port to completely clean up the entire Dingyuan......

So......

Leaving Liu Li, Black Widow, and Yasha, the three women led this group of weaker people, and after placing these survivors on the Weiyuan, Xia Jian led the group to enter the Dingyuan again!

…………………………

Two hours later......

At nine o'clock in the evening, twelve hours before the bombing.

Dingyuan Cabin ......

There is no darkness and misery as imagined.

Since the engine units are all turned on, the entire interior of the cabin is illuminated as bright as day.

This level of the cabin is used as a rest area for employees......

There are not as luxurious and intricate decorations as the cabins above, but only simplicity and practicality.

Whitewashed walls.

Clean and tidy hallways and passages.

Perhaps due to the fact that when disaster strikes, it is precisely the time of work.

All in the tunnel. Didn't see any dark chasers or bloods.

Everything is well organized......

It's not like there's a catastrophe at all.

……

At the end of the hallway, a closed white door.

Above the main door, there is a sign hanging - Conference Room!

If there are no accidents. This is supposed to be the place where the supervisors of the crew and staff hold meetings.

The view passes through the door and inside the conference room......

A round conference table.

On the table, there are some stationery sporadically, and the chairs that were originally placed next to them fall to the ground horizontally.

In this room, blood stains finally appeared.

There was a large pool of blood on the ground. It's just that because of the time, the blood has dried up and taken on a dark red color.

Not far away. It's a skeleton that has been gnawed cleanly,

The cleanliness of the skeleton was comparable to the skeleton that Xia Jian summoned from the corpse, and there were even many clear tooth marks left on it. Apparently by something. Nibbled and gnawed.

Beside them, there were eight skinny corpses, all over the body, so thin that only skinny corpses remained, lying on the ground horizontally.

Want......

On the day of the Great Destruction, the nine men, the supervisors of the nine employees, were meeting in the conference room.

Wait until the virus spreads in.

Nine people. There were eight people on the spot, mutated into dark chasers.

And the remaining one. Before he could escape, he was eaten by eight dark chasers.

But because the door to the conference room was closed......

The eight-headed Darkchaser, after eating the only prey, was unable to leave, and eventually had to go into a long dormant state......

If this ship has been drifting on the surface of the sea without any accidents......

It can be expected that perhaps these eight dark chasers will remain dormant until one day they are dormant and completely die!

But now Xia Jian and they have occupied the ship.

These dormant dark chasers have finally ushered in the end of their lives ahead of schedule......

"Click......"

In a shrill noise, the hatch, which had not been opened for a long time, was opened again.

"Treading ......"

Immediately, in the empty corridor, dense footsteps sounded.

A group of about 20 people, exuding a strong evil aura, rushed into the corridor with a fierce momentum.

The person at the head was more than one meter eight tall, covered in blood, holding a dark broadsword nearly two meters long, and the murderous aura on his body almost wanted to condense into substance, just standing there gave people a strong sense of oppression.

But that's not what makes him the most attractive.

What really attracts you is his dark eyes......

Those dark eyes are like the stars in the sky, bright, weird, and profound, so that people can't help but be attracted by them when they are slightly on them, and then sink into them.

This person is Xia Jian......

At this time, he was unfolding all his mental perceptions, and he was fully surveying the entire cabin......

"Go ......"

With a low snort, he strode forward.

Storm, Cui Kai, Shi Hu and the others who were guarding him did not hesitate and immediately followed him.

They didn't even glance at the closed corridors next to them.

And after they passed, the people in charge of the broken ones drew a plan on the closed doors one by one, to mark that the place had been inspected and that the danger had been eliminated.

There will be no one pushing open the door and going in to check it out.

Wait until the entire cabin has been fully inspected......

Then the person in charge of sweeping the tail will come in again, they will open the doors one by one, and then collect all the materials in the room that can be recycled, and gather them in the warehouse.

As for the corpses, they will also collect them, dig up the blood crystals, and throw them into the sea to feed the sharks.

……

This is how Xia Jian cleaned the cabin......

It's very fast......

It often takes about 30 minutes to completely exclude the safety of a one-story cabin.

In the cabin with fewer dark chasers, this time may have to be halved again.

And such a combination, there are two groups in the entire cabin.

One group is naturally headed by Xia Jian.

The other group is led by Xie Cong and the two sisters Chen Yan and Chen Xi.

It had been almost two and a half hours since the battle with that general-level blood clan.

It has now reached the coastal zone......

Soon the target port will be reached.

And this floor is also the last cabin that Xia Jian's team is responsible for.

As long as this layer is cleared, the entire Dingyuan will truly belong to Xia Jian.

……

In-room ......

With the dense footsteps, it continued to pass into the conference room in the corridor.

The scrawny Dark Chaser, who had been lying on the ground and had entered a deep dormant state, opened their eyes violently.

In the cloudy and empty eyes, a trace of violent blood suddenly emanated.

His ears twitched......

Seems to confirm the sound.

Then the nose sniffed in the air.

When they smelled the breath of life, they suddenly became excited.

But then, the behavior of these shadow chasers is very strange......

They did not let out a long howl, but as if they were afraid of disturbing their prey, they rose very gently, but very quickly.

They all gathered in the direction where the sound came from, that is, near the gate.

Seemingly......

The long period of dormancy has not degraded the intelligence of these dark chasers, but has a tendency to evolve like the blood clan.

It may only take one chance for them to completely break away from their identity as dark chasers and become a true bloodline.

……

The intelligence of these dark chasers is obviously higher than that of ordinary dark chasers.

They even learned to sneak attack......

If he were an ordinary person, unprepared, when he pushed open the door of the conference room, I believe it would be the time of his death.

The sneak attack of the eight-headed shadow chaser is quite deadly.

Even if Xie Cong reached the middle level of the general level, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to retreat with his whole body.

Pity......

These eight-headed dark chasers have chosen the wrong target for sneak attacks!

"Bang ......"

Suddenly, the closed door was kicked open with the utmost brutality.

"Whew......"

At the same time, the eight-headed shadow chasers who saw a black shadow appear at the door roared excitedly and rushed out in unison.

However, just as their bodies were exposed in the doorway......

"Woo ......"

"Sudden ......"

A dense burst of gunfire erupted from the hallway.

The eight weak shadow chasers exposed to the muzzle of the black hole cave were caught off guard, and only had time to let out a miserable scream, and in an instant, they were beaten into a sieve by the impenetrable rain of bullets.

The flesh that was almost dry was suddenly sprinkled on the ground......
