These figures that suddenly appeared were exceedingly strange.
At first glance, they seemed to be of the same origin.
They had the appearance of humans, yet their ears were slender and elongated, fangs exposed, and their bodies were entirely crimson.
The nails on their hands were blood-red, sharp and long like knives.
At this very moment,
the several figures that had appeared were all with their heads bowed, their sharp fangs piercing the necks of these gene warriors and sucking greedily.
"Fuck!"
One of the gene warriors roared, charging towards the nearest strange figure.
It seemed he wanted to rescue the gene warrior being bitten.
But as soon as he made a move, the strange figure, alerted, raised its head slightly, its blood-red eyes fixing on him.
The next second,
a flash of red light appeared, and a bloody gash instantly opened on his neck, hot blood gushing out.
"Wuwuwu~"
He clutched his neck with both hands, as if trying to stop the spurting blood, his mouth agape as if trying to say something.
But in the end...
with a 'thud', he collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing.
Witnessing this, the bodies of the remaining gene warriors who had not yet been bitten trembled violently.
Just now...
they hadn't even seen how he died.
They only saw a flash of red light and nothing else!
"So delicious!"
"Mmm~ Delicious food!"
A moment later, the strange figures seemed to have finished their meal, licking their lips as they tossed the desiccated corpses aside.
Their blood-red pupils swept across the surviving gene warriors.
The surviving gene warriors' faces turned ashen, their bodies trembling even more violently, like sieves.
At this moment, they had only one thought in their hearts.
That was to escape!
Run!
Because this was simply not something they could resist.
A large number had been lost before they could even react, so how could they possibly fight back?
How could they still have the will to fight?
But!
No matter what commands their brains sent, their bodies were as if frozen.
They couldn't control their bodies at all, standing dumbly in place.
"Food! Delicious food!"
At this point, the leading gene warrior, hearing the voices of these strange figures, was the first to regain his senses.
He stared at the strange figures before him with a dazed expression. He had no inclination to fight them, nor did he care about the other gene warriors who hadn't snapped out of it yet. The threat of death drove him to flee for his life!
"Food! Want to run~"
Gasp!
A flash of blood instantly streaked by.
The next second,
the leading gene warrior landed on the ground with a thud.
His strong body rapidly became gaunt.
In just one second, he turned into a desiccated corpse.
Only his eyes were wide open, filled with terror...
And the direction his gaze was fixed upon was a strange figure covered in crimson!
At this moment, the other gene warriors finally came to their senses.
Their hearts trembled with fear.
This was the second time!
Both times they had been so easily dealt with.
If one said the initial gene warriors didn't have time to react,
and the ones who attacked were weak,
then their strongest gene warrior now couldn't even escape or mount a final counterattack.
How could they have any other thoughts!
Thud, thud, thud!
The moment they regained their senses, they all knelt before these strange figures.
"God, please forgive us!"
"We... we didn't mean to."
"I'll leave now, right now, please let me go."
"I have a seventy-year-old mother above and a three-year-old child below, please have mercy and spare my life!"
"Me too, as long as you let me go, I'll do anything!"
A string of pleas erupted.
Begging for mercy seemed non-existent in the eyes of the Beautiful Country.
They had always considered it shameful.
After all, on Blue Star, the Beautiful Country was the undisputed overlord.
But when facing these strange figures, they had no choice but to beg for mercy.
"You... the outside world!"
"What time is it?"
These strange figures didn't kill them but asked in a hoarse voice.
Their voices were strange, and ordinary people wouldn't understand.
But since their lives were at stake, how could they dare not listen carefully?
"Now... now it's the New Era of Blue Star! Technology is developing rapidly, and Blue Star's spiritual energy is recovering." Someone quickly responded.
"Blue Star, technology... spiritual energy recovery?"
The strange figures fell silent, seemingly pondering something.
A moment later, one of the strange figures hesitantly spoke, "Were you sent in by the Church?"
Church?
Hearing this, the gene warriors inwardly acknowledged.
Looking at the strange figures before them, they exchanged glances. A name arose in each of their minds.
Vampires!
It had to be said that the strange figures before them were very, very similar to the vampires in myths and legends.
Only their complexions were not as pale as in the myths.
Apart from that, they were practically identical!
"No, no, we are not from the Church!"
"We... we are from the Secret Covenant!"
Suddenly, a gene warrior had a flash of inspiration and said repeatedly.
The Secret Covenant!
This was an alliance in myths and legends formed by eight of the thirteen vampire clans.
If they were truly vampires,
then their chances of survival would be greatly increased.
Although they couldn't be sure if they were indeed vampires,
did they have time to ponder now?
No.
All they could do was try their luck!
Taking their words as encouragement, the other gene warriors secretly observed the behavior and demeanor of these strange figures.
It seemed their luck was not that bad.
They could sense that as these words were spoken, the blood-red glow in the eyes of these strange figures was gradually fading.
Seeing this, all the gene warriors breathed a sigh of relief.
This was also a characteristic of vampires; their eyes only turned blood-red under extreme anger.
It seemed...
they had not gambled incorrectly this time!
"People of the Secret Covenant, how can you be so useless!"
One of the strange figures looked at these gene warriors and said with disdain.
A look of embarrassment flickered across the faces of these gene warriors.
One brave gene warrior chuckled sheepishly and said, "You may not know this."
"There is no longer a Church on Blue Star, nor beings like you."
"These have become myths in the eyes of mortals, and only we still believe that one day they will return!"
Saying this, and seeing the expressions on the faces of the strange figures, this person, emboldened, continued,
"And precisely because Blue Star's spiritual energy is recovering recently, we are facing an unprecedented crisis, which is why we ventured in to explore if we could find anything."
"An unprecedented crisis?"
"Didn't the Church cease to exist?"
"It's... it's the Eastern gods!"
Someone said, swallowing hard.
