Chapter 263 - The Rainy Night (1/2)

The woman is on the brink of giving birth at any moment. She is pounding furiously on her belly. Two pale European girls come downstairs to the bas.e.m.e.nt. Liu Mei recognizes the blue eyes.

Seeing that she is pounding her belly madly, the female vampire sneers, grabbing her hand. “So this is what human is like. What kind of mother you are to cruelly kill your own baby?” The wrist of the woman becomes scarlet because of the tight grip. She did everything she can to get rid of her hand, yet the contraction makes her powerless, her hair soaked wet in sweat. “Monsters… I don’t want to give birth to a monster…”

Another female vampire with long flaxen hair covers her mouth and smiles. “It’s not your choice to make.”

She holds a tray, on which are several needles with liquid mixed with red lines, s.h.i.+ning peculiar light under the incandescent lights of the bas.e.m.e.nt.

“Alice, keep an eye on the incubation. I’ll do the injection to the newcomers.” The woman with flaxen hair may not be able to speak the language of Huaxia because she’s been speaking a foreign language with old-school grammar. Liu Mei thought she misheard the word “incubation” at the beginning.

However, she sees the foreign girl come near with the tray and immediately realizes that she is one of the “newcomers” they just talked about. Injection? What are they injecting to her? Is this place the bas.e.m.e.nt for biotechnology research in the movies? That’s why these women said she was to give birth to a monster? Liu Mei puts her hands on her belly and retreats back. She cannot let them hurt her baby!

The room in the bas.e.m.e.nt is limited, and several pregnant women were here. As a result, Liu Mei retreats for only a few steps before she invades another woman’s place. Those women are s.h.i.+vering. Her impending steps only make them feel even more threatened. The female with flaxen hair already has her hand on a needle skillfully, eyes sweeping all over the place and focusing on Liu Mei at last.

As soon as she moves her legs, Liu Mei falls into complete desperation.

At this very juncture, the woman who has been contracting for half an hour gives birth to a child successfully.

On hearing a faint cry from the baby, the woman stops and turns around. “What is it that comes out of her belly?”

Liu Mei is coddling herself in a corner, thinking to herself shockingly, “Isn’t she supposed to ask it is a boy or a girl? Why would she ask what comes out of the belly… That woman did give birth to a monster?”

Blue-eyed Alice seems to be disappointed. “Come and see for yourself.”

She does as asked, putting down the tray. Liu Mei feels she grabs the slightest hope and cannot help but looking in the direction of the woman giving birth. The baby is wrinkled with blood and covered with dirty stuff. Liu Mei sees its head first and lets out a sigh. Although it is small and full of wrinkles, it is a normal baby. How can these people call a normal baby a monster?

“It failed again…” Alice takes the baby to the flaxen-haired woman. As she turns around, Liu Mei finally has her eyes on the baby—under the normal head is a distorted body with no hands and feet. Instead, it has claws in their places. And the dark things. Are they wings?!

Good heavens! This new-born baby has under its head… the shape of a bat!

Liu Mei feels like being dumped into a freezing swamp. She s.h.i.+vers, feeling cold all over her body.

These people are taking pregnant women as experimental subjects. What Alice said means it has failed—which means the successful one is a whole bat? Tremendous fear winds her like seagra.s.s. Her heart is telling her to run from reality and pa.s.s out, yet nature goes against her by keeping her very sober… Will I give birth to such a monster?

Alice takes the distorted baby out while the long-haired woman wipes the blood on her hands and takes up the tray again, leaving the woman who just gave birth there as if her mission is accomplished and she is of no use.

Liu Mei feels her heart pounding fiercely again.

She has already felt the coldness of the needle. The long-haired woman is approaching… Who can save me? Where is my husband? Please come and get me. As outgoing and straightforward as Liu Mei is, she cannot help crying. Her wrist is grabbed by somebody. Extremely terrified, she uses up all her strength to defend herself. The door of the bas.e.m.e.nt is open again!

“Wait!” That Alice! She’s back again! At this moment, Liu Mei is almost grateful for that.

The baby in her hands is gone and Alice runs in with anxiety. Seeing the injection is not done yet, she is relieved. “Miss Crystal said these batch of needles must be remade. We’ll leave the new ones alone for the time being.”

Did I just get away with this? Liu Mei is still out of her mind. Seeing the long-haired woman leave with the tray and the bas.e.m.e.nt door closed, she finally let loose of herself a little.

The bas.e.m.e.nt is a mess and Liu Mei is all soaked in sweat. It is already late autumn. She will catch a cold in those wet clothes. Liu Mei wants to get some air, so she moves to the wall, which has a ventilation opening near the ground. She feels some dew drops on her face. Is it raining outside?

She hears raindrops splattering on the ground.
