What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Although Jiang Chun has been appointed as the head of the field departments in Southeast Asia, Thailand and Myanmar, and has even met Mr. Lao He and Mr. Liang, this is the first time he has met Xia Libing, and he was a little excited for a while.

Of course, this excitement had nothing to do with seeing beautiful women, but he came to a conclusion from his communication with Mr. Liang and Lao He, as well as his communication with Alice through communication equipment:

Xia Libing, who is now responsible for building the entire "mutant creature" research system and the "mutant creature" management mechanism in China, is working with the "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant maker", "the savior who solved the Antarctic crisis", and "the lightning storm" The person closest to "the controller" and "the source of everything".

For Xiang Kun, Jiang Chun's feelings were much more complicated than those of Mr. Liang and Lao He. He saw the vision of the eight-armed and eight-eyed giant when he was the most desperate and discouraged in his life, and was even determined to die. The fear that arose deep in my heart was awakened, and I saw the true needs and fears in my heart. Then my body mutated, my life changed drastically, and I truly survived a desperate situation.

He has always believed that his mutation and his rebirth came from the illusion of the eight-armed and eight-eyed giant, and from Xiang Kun, who created the illusion.

Later, he saw the "eight-armed and eight-eyed giant" who came across the sea and took the power of heaven and earth to save him from danger. He also saw the super giant sea monster that almost killed him being killed by lightning storm punishment. The power of heaven and earth, the shocking feeling of being there in person, had a huge psychological impact on him.

And as a member of the "mutated creatures" and a linker of the "Little Carrot Platform", he can not only truly experience the changes brought about by mutation, but also rely on the "Little Carrot Platform" to relieve his bloodthirsty impulses, so he can be certain To a certain extent, he can perceive the overall presence of "super-connected things" in the surrounding environment, and he also has an extremely grand conjecture about the entire power system.

Now being able to see Xia Libing, who is said to have a very close relationship with Xiang Kun, for Jiang Chun is not just seeing a high-level manager, a person with stronger abilities, or a "celebrity" he wants to know, but more like meeting him. A corner of reality that reflects the majestic existence of some conjecture.

The moment he saw Xia Libing, Jiang Chun felt excited, "Sure enough," and that feeling even made him have the urge to kneel down on one knee.

Xia Libing had an aura that he could clearly detect, which was different from his surroundings. However, the "aura" he perceived was fundamentally different from what Zuo Liu perceived. It did not originate from Xia Libing. Li Bing's appearance, expression, movements, and identity are not psychological factors per se, but a special perception that he had from the night the "Eight-Armed and Eight-Eyed Giant" came across the sea. It seems to be different from all kinds of things around him. There is a connection between these things, weak but clear. This connection is like light flowing into the starry sky. There is no clear landing point, but the mutual connection can be felt.

And now Xia Libing's appearance is like a bright moon rising among the stars in the night sky. It is so dazzling that it suppresses all the surrounding light.

Jiang Chun naturally knew that the source of this power and momentum did not come from Xia Libing herself, but the source of the entire power system and Xiang Kun behind her.

Because of this, he would be excited and trembled by this perception, as if he had glimpsed the vastness of the ocean from a drop of water.

This is not a simple Mu Qiang, nor does he expect to obtain or control such power. He is just like a backpacker who comes to the new world, full of curiosity and imagination about everything, trying to get a glimpse of this world. Real face and approximate appearance.

Seeing Jiang Chun bow his head and remain silent after seeing him, Xia Libing, who had done psychological analysis on him, could probably guess what he was feeling.

Then he repeated it again: "Jiang Chun, tell us about the situation."

Jiang Chun finally came to his senses and began to introduce them to the target "mutated creatures".

Seeing the bald man's appearance, Yang Zhuo, who was standing behind Lao Xia, lowered his high opinion of the bald man by two points, and his sense of superiority for "coming from the domestic headquarters" could not help but rise by another three points.

However, Li Shijue knew that Jiang Chun's reaction was not a sign of weakness, but was most likely due to his strong perception.

He heard that Jiang Chun seemed to be a "mutated creature" himself and had a direct connection with the "World Tree". In a sense, he and Mr. Liang were on the same level in terms of strength.

The so-called "World Tree" is the nickname of a super giant "mutated creature". Its official internal code name in the base is 40003, but no one knows what it looks like specifically. It is said that it is not a tree. The name "World Tree" is just a metaphor and description of its ability. It allows other "mutated creatures" to establish some kind of symbiotic and mutually beneficial relationship with it, thus avoiding some of the unfavorable characteristics of mutant creatures. , obtain certain buffs and mutation guidance, like a "platform" for coordinating and managing mutation characteristics, which can ensure to a certain extent that "mutated creatures" will not cause chaos to social order by drinking blood or devouring each other, and this This kind of connection can work all over the world.

The "mutated creature" they are going to capture in Thailand today refuses to access the "World Tree" and threatens human safety. Therefore, they need to deal with it, bring it back to the country, subject it to free restrictions, and provide it to the research department for study. .

The preparation stage, emergency treatment, and temporary target isolation and restriction of the front part were basically completed by Jiang Chun and the two peripheral members he recruited.

The field and investigation departments of the base have a corresponding processing mechanism, but after all, the establishment time is relatively short. Most people have not experienced the full set of processing procedures, including supervisor-level members like Li Shijue.

So this time Xia Libing brought Li Shijue and Yang Zhuo over, not to ask them to help, but to familiarize them with the entire process, accumulate preliminary experience, and have an intuitive understanding of the "spirit control theory".

After Jiang Chun received the mission, he came to Chiang Mai and informed Xia Libing, Li Shijue, Yang Zhuo and others in detail about a series of operations carried out on the target "mutated creatures".

In fact, what he has to do is very simple, which is to find the target, limit the scope of the target's activities, and clear away ordinary humans within the scope of activities.

This step sounds troublesome and seems to require the use of a lot of resources, but in fact Jiang Chun, Zuo Liu and Putpeng just followed the action orders sent from the country and completed it quickly.

Because they do not need to carry out personnel clearance and regional isolation themselves, but contact local Thai officials and let them take specific measures.

What's more amazing is that the Thai people didn't have any doubts about the ridiculous excuses they used, and even showed a deep belief in it. Apparently, the country had already made relevant preparations before sending the "action order" , they actually just came to "shout out".

The more dangerous part of the action is to directly confront the "mutated creatures" and prevent them from leaving the restricted area. This step is all done by Jiang Chun.

Fortunately, the "mutated creature" did not try to leave this time, and Jiang Chun did not have a direct conflict with it yet.

…

"The target 'mutant creature' should be a mutation of an elephant. Its appearance is still very similar to an elephant, but its size has become extremely large. It is about 6 meters tall at the shoulder and close to 7 meters, and its weight should exceed 20 tons. In front of the proboscis It has scales on its head, and its two giant teeth can expand, contract, and change angles, and are very rigid."

Jiang Chun led them into the blockade area, then pointed to a forest in front of the mountain in the distance and said: "There."

Xia Libing, Li Shijue, Yang Zhuo and others she brought to Thailand all set their sights on that position.

The night sky was clear tonight, the moon and stars were sparse, and the light was not bad. However, wherever they looked, they did not see any giant "mutated creatures".

While Li Shijue, Yang Zhuo and others were still searching with squinted eyes, Xia Libing nodded: "I saw it, you guys go back another 20 meters." As he said that, he was already walking forward.

Jiang Chun was stunned for a moment: "Should I retreat too?"

Xia Libing didn't look back: "Yes."

Li Shijue and others had not yet identified the specific location of the "mutated creature", but after hearing Xia Libing's instructions, they instinctively started to retreat.

In the past few years, under the influence of various trainings at the base, the authority of "Doctor Xia" has been subtly implanted in their hearts. When it comes to her requests and orders, their first reaction is to execute them first, never Ask why - because she will naturally explain if necessary.

Xia Libing moved forward step by step. After walking for more than 40 meters, a huge thing suddenly moved next to some big trees in front of the mountain.

It was a giant elephant nearly seven meters tall. When it moved slowly, the trees and plants around it seemed to be trembling.

Even if Li Shijue, Yang Zhuo and others were far away from the giant elephant, even if they could only roughly see the outline of the giant elephant under the moonlight, even if they had heard Jiang Chun describe the target's basic body shape data before, even if they had already Having seen all kinds of weird and bizarre "mutated creatures" information, this time I still felt a huge shock.

Adult Asian elephants here in Thailand generally have a shoulder height of more than two to three meters, which looks very big.

The extinct imperial mammoth can reach a shoulder height of more than four meters and weighs nearly 10 tons. The ancient rhombus, known as the largest elephant on earth in history, has a shoulder height of 5.2 meters and a weight of nearly 20 tons. If it appeared in this In front of the giant elephant, he can still only be the "younger brother".

Tyrannosaurus rex, the all-powerful apex predator of the Cretaceous period that appears on TV and in various literary and artistic works, was only four or five meters tall at the hip and weighed about 10 tons.

In comparison, the giant elephant in front of me, with a shoulder height of nearly seven meters and a weight of more than 20 tons, is an order of magnitude larger and more ferocious.

The giant elephant seemed to have the ability to blend into the environment. When Jiang Chun pointed it at them just now, the giant elephant was between the tall trees, and its entire outline seemed to have narrowed. There was nothing unusual about it, and it was impossible for people to look at it. to its existence.

But when it moved, the entire silhouette and huge body were immediately fully revealed under the moonlight.

The giant elephant raised its huge head, opened its mouth wide, and let out a long roar.

The roar was extremely shocking, tearing apart the tranquility of the night sky. Li Shijue, Yang Zhuo and others subconsciously raised their hands to cover their ears, and Yang Zhuo even instinctively took two steps back.

They couldn't help but worry about "Doctor Xia". Although they all knew that "Doctor Xia" must be very powerful, after all, no one had ever seen "Doctor Xia" take action, and compared to the giant elephant, she looked too small.

However, whether the giant elephant showed its shape or raised its head and roared, Xia Libing's footsteps did not slow down or pause at all.

"Don't we have some thermal weapons or tranquilizer guns?" Yang Zhuo couldn't help but ask Li Shijue.

Li Shijue shook his head, he was also a little nervous. After he joined the secret department of "Shenxing Technology", he has always been responsible for field operations, security and other related matters. This is his specialty. He has never had other people step up to face threats while he hid behind.

As for the other three team members, their legs were already weak when the manifestation appeared. Seeing those huge creatures through projectors, monitors, etc. in the base is a completely different feeling than seeing them in reality.

Moreover, when Jiang Chun introduced the situation to them just now, he also made it clear that this "mutated creature" had killed people - several poachers were killed by it, and it seemed to become extremely manic because of this. Humans are extremely aggressive.

After the giant elephant roared, it began to run towards Xia Libing.

The entire ground began to shake, and all kinds of plants in front of the giant elephant were flattened. As it ran, its head was slightly lowered, and its two tusks extended forward, growing three or four meters longer, like the teeth of a heavy cavalry. The spear was pointed directly at the thin-looking girl with a ponytail.

Obviously, the giant elephant could feel Xia Libing's threat to it to a certain extent.

When the giant elephant was less than 20 meters away from Xia Libing, a large piece of snow-white material suddenly appeared around it. The material was more than three meters high and wrapped around its body, like a very thick layer of material. The snow-like accumulation impeded its progress.

The material that covered the giant elephant was not snow, but cream—the cream that Xia Li Bingju had emerged from.

This thick cream not only hindered the giant elephant from moving its legs, but also reduced the friction on its soles, causing it to slip and lose its balance, and its entire body leaned forward and sank into the cream.

The moment it fell down, all the butter disappeared, but its forward momentum was too great. Even if it fell down, its long teeth were still pointing straight at Xia Libing, rushing towards him.

However, Xia Libing was not afraid at all when faced with this hill-like behemoth and terrifyingly huge ivory. He calmly stepped aside, holding a scalpel in his hand at some point.

After ducking to the side, the huge tusks and trunk of the giant elephant slid past her. She even took a good look at the elephant's eyes, then raised the scalpel in her hand and swung it down.

In the distance, Jiang Chun, who still had excellent vision at night, clearly saw Xia Libing waving the scalpel, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

He knew that the mutated giant elephant's skin was extremely thick and hard and could withstand large-caliber bullets. No matter how sharp Xia Libing's scalpel was, given its size, I'm afraid the whole knife would sink in and it wouldn't be able to deal with it. The mammoth deals no substantial damage.

What's more, from his perspective, when Xia Libing swung his knife, he was three or four meters away from the giant elephant. Was he trying to throw a flying knife?

Just as he was thinking this, the scalpel in Xia Libing's hand suddenly disappeared after waving her hand.

Then, a giant scalpel with a length of more than ten meters appeared on the top of the giant elephant's head. It slashed downwards in the same way that Xia Libing had just waved it. The sharpest blade directly cut off the giant elephant's trunk and a tusk. , a large amount of blood burst out, and he screamed horribly.

At the moment when the giant elephant was seriously injured, the giant scalpel disappeared again.

The giant elephant's eyes were red, and it was already in a state of madness. It howled and struggled to use its limbs to support itself to stand up from the ground, and turned back to Xia Libing.

But as soon as it turned around, fireworks suddenly exploded in front of its eyes. Amidst the crackling sound, five or six fireworks exploded directly in front of its eyes. Although it couldn't cause any real harm to it, it was still startled and Xia Li suddenly lost it. Ice position.

At this moment, Xia Libing, who had already detoured behind the elephant, held another scalpel in his hand and swung it towards the giant elephant's lower body from a distance of six or seven meters.

Just like before, a scalpel more than ten meters long appeared out of thin air, slashed diagonally from behind, cut off the giant elephant's right hind leg, and then disappeared.

The giant elephant immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground.

The hill-like giant elephant was still struggling with an alarming momentum, but Xia Libing kept a distance and still ran around it. From time to time, he swung a huge scalpel to chop off its elephant feet.

After a while, the limbs, nose and tusks of the giant elephant were all chopped off. Although the muscle fibers in the wound of the nose that was cut off first were already squirming and changing, constantly repairing the damage and trying to recover, but for the time being, it was still there. In front of Xia Libing, he had lost his ability to resist.

It actually had some other methods, but when Xia Libing came closer and put the small scalpel on its forehead, it knew that those methods were meaningless.

And when it looked up at the sky, for a moment, it seemed to see an extremely huge human little girl several thousand meters tall looking down at it coldly, and it could clearly sense the threat.

As a result, it whined in submission under Xia Libing's scalpel.

In the distance, everyone, including Jiang Chun, opened their mouths and were stunned.
