Chapter 2 (1/2)

2 – Neverwinter Nights1

After the WW3, the New China Federation Celestial Empire's alliance encompa.s.sed the union of several Asian countries, which then became a behemoth.2

To confront the USA and the EU

This world's appearance after WW3 became utterly grim the countries are secretly vary of each other, as they keeping each other in check.

The development of science and technology, and the powerful supernatural abilities became the subject of grooming for each each country.

It's not Lu Qiu's business.

”Whew.” Lu Qiu moved away from his small room. The room lies in a residential roof, in the slums of the New China Federation's Wen Han City.

Lu Qiu had no choice but to hide here, because of his ident.i.ty of a Vampire, as the Church's Exorcists run amuck for ages, he was always a target to hunt down and kill.

How much was the bounty that the Church offered when it listed Lu Qiu as wanted?

A full 700,000 of New Federal Currency.

Even for the most fiendish criminal, the bounty won't be more than this.

Lu Qiu is clear about what kind of end his kind will receive when captured by the Church's Exorcists.

He himself doesn't has any power …. and so can only watch his younger burned to death by the Church.

Now …. there's no need to continue hiding.

Lu Qiu looked at the red liquid swaying in his hand, his scarlet pupils flas.h.i.+ng in the black night.

I already have the power to get my revenge.

”So cold.” Lu Qiu on the roof, once again looked at the distant glimmering lights of the city. He exhaled another breath which condensed into a white mist, as it was now deep winter. Lu Qiu was only wearing a piece T-s.h.i.+rt and a pair of jeans as he directly went out.

On one hand exhausted, on the other hand, Lu Qiu as Vampire fundamentally doesn't has any body warmth.

Blood …. has long since been frozen without any warmth.

After the system's strengthening, Lu Qiu felt that his body already reached an ordinary Vampire's level.

Strength and agility seem to be around three times that of a human's.

Lu Qiu lowered his head to look at the three storey residential building, then without any hesitation, directly jumped down.

A road worn down by years of disrepair emitted sorrowful sounds, as large amounts of fissures propagate from Lu Qiu.

“The Power is not bad.”

Lu Qiu felt the extent to which his body was strengthened.

“Like this, not even a D-level Exorcist would be a match.”

Putting aside the matter of the Church.

The only objective is the current world’s destruction and the procurement of Despair Points.

Lu Qiu looked at the contrast between the distant glimmering city and the ghetto, slightly reminiscing about the city’s construction.

The city is built by the riverside, there’s a dam upstream, supplying the entire city with water, as well as the residents drinking water.

Furthermore, the dam is quite close.

As long as the virus is dumped within the dam, not long after, the city will become h.e.l.l.3

Lu Qiu walked toward the direction of the dam.

In this somber ghetto, what can there be … in this night one could spot quite a few pa.s.sers-by, only in the residential area do the roads seem somewhat desolate.4

Lu Qiu made some noise just a moment ago, but he didn’t let anyone take notice of it. Granted that, even if someone noticed, they also wouldn’t dare to make to give voice.

Lu Qiu entered an alley without street light, a moment later, he saw a delightful scene.5

A few oddly dressed young men, holding knife’s, while making them spin, as they watched a seemingly very young woman.

The woman was wearing what should be an office worker’s clothes, while going home she must have been inattentive for a moment and then met this group of young men.

Robbery?No, not as simple as that.

Her clothes already can’t cover up her body.

Lu Qiu took a glimpse at the woman’s skin exposed under her messy clothing, as suddenly a whiff of an odd desire welled up in Lu Qiu’s mind.

“Have you seen something good?Quickly scram if you want to die. “Among them, a tall bald guy pointed the handle of a s.h.i.+ny small knife towards Lu Qiu, gestured with it and ordered Lu Qiu to leave.

At first Lu Qiu wanted to leave, but then he heard this guy’s clamor.

Lu Qiu lowered his head and silently walked into the alley.

“Hey, you want to save this chick?In what era are we?Kid, you still putting on appearances in this kind of situation?”

Seeing Lu Qiu seeking death while entering the alley by himself, the several tall young men mocked and pointed their small knifes towards him.
