Who would want to be a ghost if they could be a human?
Yu Xian wasn't genuinely trying to become a wild man in the deep mountains and forests; he simply had no other choice.
"Do you have a phone?" Yu Xian was very curious about what kind of organization Qilin was, so he asked Nora, who was beside him.
Nora took out her phone and handed it to Yu Xian, saying uneasily, "The password is six sixes. You're not allowed to look at my photo album or my browsing history, or I'll shoot you."
"Don't worry, I just want to look something up," Yu Xian said with a smile.
After unlocking it, Yu Xian opened the browser and searched for "Qilin." The results were various legends about Qilin, and some posts even had people swearing they had seen a Qilin in the wild.
"Pfft, you don't actually think you can find information about Qilin online, do you?" At this moment, Nora couldn't help but snicker.
Yu Xian returned the phone to Nora, his expression unchanged, "There's no harm in checking, so why not give it a try?"
At this point, Nora took a blood bag from her bracelet, bit through it with her fangs, thought for a moment, and then took out another one to hand to Yu Xian, as if sharing a snack.
"No, thanks. Even though I'm a Vampire, I don't drink blood," Yu Xian refused.
Although his body was already that of a Vampire, since he could consume light, he felt it was better not to drink blood if possible.
"Don't worry, I'm not a classical type. This is all synthetic plasma. Just try it," Nora said, licking her fangs with her small tongue, encouraging him with a smile.
The two pushed and shoved, and in the end, Yu Xian couldn't win against Nora, so he had to take the blood bag.
Alright.
Actually, he was a little curious about what Vampire blood tasted like.
He pierced the blood bag with his fangs, and the next second, he felt a surge of life force being absorbed into his body, warming every cell.
This feeling was amazing.
It was completely different from sunbathing.
Gradually, he lost consciousness in this warm sensation, his mind a blank…
When he came to, the entire school was surrounded by a large number of soldiers.
"What did you put in the blood?"
Yu Xian stood up and looked at the surrounding soldiers, unable to help but ask Nora beside him.
He had lost consciousness after drinking the blood. If Nora or these soldiers had tried to do something to him just now, he would have had no chance to resist.
Nora explained with a smile, "It really is just ordinary synthetic plasma, but I didn't expect you to get blood-drunk like my cousin. Simply put, it's like getting drunk after drinking blood."
…
Yu Xian was speechless after hearing this. So, some Vampires could get blood-drunk.
Fortunately, he discovered this weakness in time; otherwise, it would be troublesome if he messed up at a critical moment in the future.
The subsequent cleanup work was handled entirely by the arriving soldiers. Yu Xian and Nora, under the arrangement of the surviving teachers, went with Zhang Shou and the others to rest in tents outside the school.
Currently, the entire Silver City had entered a wartime state, so going home was definitely out of the question.
The night passed without incident.
The next day.
Yu Xian woke up on the wooden board bed in the tent and couldn't help but stretch.
Perhaps it was because he had expended a lot of energy fighting Zhou Tai yesterday, but he actually slept until dawn. This indicated that Vampires don't truly not need sleep; it's just that their energy recovery rate is usually greater than their consumption, which gives the illusion that they don't need to sleep.
Of course, it could also be because regrowing an arm requires a lot of energy.
Yu Xian woke up to find that his right hand had already healed. The newly grown right hand was almost indistinguishable from his original right hand, and he said "almost" because this arm seemed even more perfect.
In fact, many people, due to being left-handed or right-handed, do not have two arms of exactly the same size.
For example, someone who is right-handed.
If you observe carefully, you will find that their right fist is larger than their left.
Yu Xian used to be right-handed, so his right hand was actually slightly larger than his left. Now, both arms are exactly the same size, and whether punching or performing other actions, his sense of balance is much stronger.
Stepping out of the tent, the sunlight shone on him, and Yu Xian felt as if his phone had been connected to a power source. His spirits became increasingly high, his thoughts became more agile, and he was fully aware of every movement around him.
Not far away, Zhang Shou and others sat in a row, looking towards the school. A group of soldiers in white protective suits were disinfecting the entire school to prevent Alienated Insects from leaving behind hidden dangers like eggs.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Xian walked over and sat next to Zhang Shou.
Zhang Shou said solemnly, "I just heard that there are only over a hundred survivors in the entire school, and most of them have permanent disabilities."
Among these survivors, half were saved by Yu Xian and his group. If it weren't for Yu Xian and Nora cooperating to quickly kill the Alienated Insects in the teaching building, there would probably only be thirty or forty survivors.
Yu Xian fell silent after hearing this. So many students and teachers, and only so few survived…
Then, it was unclear who started it first, but several girls began to sob softly, making the atmosphere even more sorrowful. Even Zhang Shou's eyes turned red.
"Xian Yu, do you think my parents are alright now? Oh, by the way, where's my phone?" Zhang Shou suddenly asked.
Yu Xian immediately showed an awkward smile and said apologetically, "Your phone… you know, at the time, things happened so suddenly, so I accidentally broke it."
"That's right, it was chaotic then, and it's a good thing you were there, otherwise we would have been in a terrible situation too," Zhang Shou said, recalling yesterday's events with understanding.
If it weren't for Yu Xian, he knew that he and the other students would definitely not have fared well.
His life was saved by Yu Xian, so what was a mere phone?
At this moment, Chen Ling and a male teacher came over carrying several bowls. She forced a smile and said, "Everyone, come and eat breakfast."
"Oh, I've been hungry for ages!" Zhang Shou immediately perked up and said loudly.
Chen Ling brought a bowl of noodles to Yu Xian. Yu Xian took the noodles and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Although he couldn't digest other foods and they tasted like chewing wax, he didn't want to refuse Chen Ling's kindness right now.
He held the bowl with one hand and chopsticks with the other. Only then did Chen Ling notice that his right hand had grown back, and she said in surprise, "Yu Xian, your hand is healed?"
"Yes, it grew back after I slept," Yu Xian said with a smile, taking a bite of the noodles.
At this moment, he frowned and subconsciously looked up at the male teacher who was distributing breakfast nearby.
"This teacher is…" He looked at the person and asked Chen Ling.
Chen Ling introduced, "Teacher Yu Wei, he's the PE teacher for the ninth grade. He happened to not have class yesterday, so he was sleeping in the dorm, which is why he wasn't harmed by the Alienated Insects."
"Oh, Teacher Yu must have been sick yesterday," Zhang Shou said with a smile.
Although ninth grade wasn't as stressful as twelfth grade, the academic pressure was still significant, and PE teachers were also frequently 'sick.'
Chen Ling glared at Zhang Shou exasperatedly, while Yu Xian scrutinized Yu Wei, feeling a persistent unease.
Although his senses, enhanced by Silver Blood, hadn't detected any problems with his smell or sight, he just inexplicably felt that there was something wrong with this teacher.
The problem was that everyone present should have been checked by the officials; there shouldn't be any stragglers.
Something's not right!
Something's not right!
Something's not right!
Yu Xian lowered his head and ate his noodles.
But deep down, a voice seemed to constantly remind him: Yu Wei is problematic!
