He was only eleven or twelve years old, and his clothes were of exquisite workmanship and gorgeous styles. He seemed to be from a noble family in the city.
The young man turned to look at Qianye with a look of astonishment on his face.
When the boy just ran into sight, Qianye had already aimed at his head.
Although gunpowder firearms are not as good as Force firearms, three consecutive shots at such a close range can still severely damage the vampires. However, Qianye felt that the trigger was unusually heavy and he could not pull it for a while.
This should be a normal person... Qianye couldn't help but think this.
Faced with an unarmed normal teenager, is it necessary to shoot him without saying a word? Although this is an order.
The young man suddenly stretched out his hands to Qianye, as if he wanted to seek shelter. His left cheek was a little dirty, and there were some bloodstains from unknown sources. In a chaotic battlefield, this kind of situation is very common.
Qianye's fingers relaxed a little, the muzzle of the gun was slightly depressed, and the crosshair left the young man's forehead.
At this moment, the young man suddenly rushed towards Qianye, his movements were so agile that he was not human at all! He opened his mouth wide, with an abnormal amount of saliva flowing between his teeth, and his eyes were fixed on the artery on the side of Qianye's neck.
, his eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot eyes, and even began to glow red, looking extremely ferocious!
Qianye raised his gun in an instant and aimed it at the young man's forehead. The flow of time seemed to slow down at this moment, and Qianye's finger on the trigger slowly pressed back.
Suddenly a big foot flew out from beside him, and kicked the young man away, slamming into the wall dozens of meters away! With a muffled sound, the young man's whole body was stuck to the wall, and all his muscles and bones were broken.
, and then slipped to the ground, leaving a thick bloody mark.
"Rookie! What's wrong with you?" The Red Scorpion-level captain walked out of the alley next to him, stared at Qianye and shouted sternly.
"No, it's nothing, I just...want to see what other abilities it has." Qianye said with some guilt.
"Those are blood slaves! They only have the instinct of beasts and no special abilities. Don't look at it. Boy, put away your eagerness to learn or curiosity, these things are more dangerous than you can imagine! If you are killed by them
If you bite and let their saliva enter your blood, then it is best to commit suicide immediately, lest I personally blow up your head with a bullet!"
The stern voice of Captain Red Scorpion showed that he was definitely not joking.
Qianye agreed and continued to search. Along the way, he killed a dozen blood slaves and a hidden vampire. These blood slaves had not been transformed for long, and they basically looked like humans.
The clothes on many blood slaves are still clean.
But all the blood slaves are like wild beasts. They pounce on Qianye crazily when they see Qianye. Their desire for flesh and blood has overwhelmed all reason. Among the blood slaves are old people, young women, and even children of three or four years old. But no matter
What they were originally, they have now become completely irrational beasts.
Qianye was shooting and counting silently in his mind, as if this could distract him from thinking too much about whether there were still humans surviving on the other side.
A blood slave is the product of being sucked blood by a vampire, or simply being bitten. Unlike the first embrace, a blood slave will not become a new vampire because there is no blood feedback from the vampire.
The blood slaves' sanity will be eroded by the vampire's blood poison, turning them into monsters that are half vampire and half beast. After that, their instinctive desire for flesh and blood, as well as the fear and obedience to the real vampires will be their entire life.
So far, humans are still helpless against the blood poison of the vampires. After a human is bitten by a vampire, the brain will be completely destroyed by the blood poison within a day or two. This is the fundamental reason for losing consciousness and becoming a blood slave. This transformation process is irreversible.
, even the vampires themselves have no way to recover.
The worst thing is that blood slaves also have blood poison, which is even more violent than real blood slaves. Anyone bitten by a blood slave will basically become a blood slave. Therefore, it has only been a few days since the fall of this small town, and the blood inside
There are already too many slaves to count.
Among the dark races, blood slaves are also the lowest level of creatures, not even cannon fodder. They do not live long at all, so they are used as food for the lower dark races, and are sometimes used to raise war beasts.
Whether it is dawn or eternal night, the fate of the blood slave is extremely tragic, and it cannot be changed or undone.
The Great Qin Empire and other human countries have a surprisingly consistent attitude towards blood slaves: all blood slaves, or those who have been contaminated by blood poison, will be executed.
So among the dark races, although the vampires are not the most powerful or the largest in number, they have always been regarded as the biggest enemy by humans. This is the reason. This is the relationship between food and predators, like natural enemies.
.
The battle in the small town soon came to an end. All the vampires and blood slaves had been cleaned up. The whole city was full of corpses, and blood was flowing on the streets. Qianye's military boots would make a crackling sound when they stepped on the blood.
sound.
"Listen, people in the city, all come out and gather in the central square! You have ten minutes, repeat, you have ten minutes. Anyone who does not come to the central square before the deadline will be regarded as a blood slave. Search
Immediately execute him after he comes out!"
A loud sound came from the loudspeaker of the chariot, which continued to echo over the small town. After a few minutes, some people walked out of the houses tremblingly and gathered in the central square.
Qianye was walking along the street when he was suddenly stopped by a Black Scorpion veteran.
"Rookie, come with me, it's time for class!"
Class? Qianye was confused, turned around, and followed the veteran to the central square.
Hundreds of people have gathered in the central square, and they are anxious. However, judging from their expressions, it is obvious that they still maintain their rationality. Some of them have injuries on their bodies, and they cover their wounds carefully. But even Qianye
You can't hide it, let alone the veterans of the Red Scorpion Legion.
The soldiers of the Red Scorpion Legion and all the rookies appeared around the square, blocking the passages on all sides.
The veteran who brought Qianye here turned around and said, "If anyone wants to run away, shoot them in the head! Do you understand?"
"clear!"
At this time, a Red Scorpion captain said to the division commander of the local army who was responsible for commanding this operation: "Now let your people search the city, and don't miss any corner! You have... twenty minutes!"
The division commander was startled by the twenty-minute time limit, but immediately jumped away like a rabbit, and at the same time loudly greeted his team, asking them to search the entire city as quickly as possible.
After a while, sporadic gunshots and occasional screams rang out in the city. Some people hid in their homes and did not come out. Once found, they would be executed immediately.
Twenty minutes seemed extremely long. Slowly, the city became quiet, and there were no more gunshots or screams.
At this time, a Red Scorpion captain raised his right hand, pointed towards the square, and then made a horizontal stroke, slitting his throat!
Qianye's heart immediately trembled, this was the order to massacre!
Qianye raised the gun expressionlessly, but did not pull the trigger. Not only Qianye, but also many rookies' expressions became very ugly, while the Black Scorpion-level veterans scanned the square with indifferent or even cold eyes.
of these people.
They are still normal people!
Qianye and many rookies think this way.
"Captain! They don't look like blood slaves!" Finally a rookie shouted out.
Captain Red Scorpion said coldly: "There are a few blood slaves inside. The others are not sure. They may be polluters, or they may not be. The procedural way to deal with them is to throw all these people into a special black mine.
, let them mine until they die! But this time we don’t have the time, and there are no specially established black mines nearby. So direct execution is the best way, do you understand, rookie?"
The rookie shook his head vigorously, pointed at a few normal people, and said loudly: "They don't have any injuries on their bodies! How can they be blood slaves!"
Captain Red Scorpion said: "Blood poison is not only transmitted through blood. As long as there is deep contact, there is a possibility of infection. Although this possibility is unlikely, we cannot take this risk. If it is not controlled, there will be
Given enough time, a blood slave can destroy a
City! I can't bear this responsibility, and I think you can't bear it even more, rookie! Well, as a price for questioning my order in public, you will be imprisoned for ten days after the team is closed, and then you will be temporarily removed from the Red Scorpion Legion.
Qualifications will wait until you kill a hundred blood slaves with your own hands!"
The rookie's face immediately turned pale.
This punishment is basically equivalent to kicking him out of the Red Scorpions. Even if he returns to the team, he may not be taken seriously in the future. The Red Scorpions' quotas are fixed and very precious. Once his quota becomes vacant, many aristocratic families will be keeping an eye on him.
Go to this position.
Captain Red Scorpion glanced at all the rookies, his voice became extremely stern, and he shouted loudly: "Rookies! This is war! This is a war that lasts for thousands of years! There is only a life-and-death war between us and those dark bastards.
Any compromise is betrayal of your comrades! So put away your ridiculous sympathy and obey the order. Kill all enemies in sight. This is the fate of the imperial soldiers! Now, rookies, raise your guns,
shooting!"
All the rookie's guns were spitting fire, and Qianye also subconsciously squeezed the trigger. His muscles were a little stiff, and the impact of the gunpowder made the automatic rifle keep jumping in his hand, and metal projectiles were ejected from the muzzle, shooting
The human body on the opposite side was torn open and smashed into pieces.
In the blink of an eye, the magazine that could hold eighty rounds was empty. Qianye replaced the magazine with a new one with mechanical and skillful movements, and then continued shooting. When all the rookies had emptied two magazines,
There was no one left standing in the square.
After the gunfire stopped for a while, the division commander of the local army trotted over. He looked at the scene in the square, the fat on his cheeks couldn't help but beat a few times, and cold sweat rolled down his face. He approached the captain of the Red Scorpion
, whispering for instructions on the next step.
"There are still many people hiding in this city, and some of your soldiers seemed to have turned a blind eye to them just now."
Captain Red Scorpion's words made the division commander of the local army break into a cold sweat and said quickly: "Give me another twenty minutes, no! Ten minutes! I will dig out every last person here! I promise!"
Captain Red Scorpion looked at the blood flowing on the ground, shook his head, and said, "No need. This city has been completely polluted and can no longer be inhabited. So, I will burn it."
"Burn...burn it down?" The division commander was shocked on the spot. Even a small town with a small size still has considerable wealth, so it was burned down like this?
Captain Red Scorpion nodded and said meaningfully: "Yes, burn it! This is the consequence of getting involved with the vampires!"
The teacher's cold sweat broke out again, and he kept nodding and bowing: "Yes, I understand! Burn it, burn it immediately!"
The troop transport truck roared and slowly drove away from the battlefield.
Qianye looked back, his vision was full of flames soaring into the sky, and his ears were filled with the sound of explosions that had not completely subsided. The small town had been plunged into a sea of flames, and it would not take long before it would become ruins and history. A city that was completely burned down like this had no place in the history of the empire.
Not uncommon.
Qianye was tapped on the shoulder. He turned around and saw a veteran sitting next to him.
