Even hybrid monsters have their day

"Ah Xian!" Ji Hongzhang called out to him, but it didn't stop Peng Yuxian. He cursed under his breath and followed after him.

When Ji Hongzhang caught up with Peng Yuxian, he was standing blankly not far from where they had parted ways with Geng Miaowan and the others.

"what happened?"

Peng Yuxian said uncertainly, "Just now... I think I saw someone, and it suddenly disappeared from my sight."

"Huh? You must be mistaken. How could someone suddenly disappear?"

“That’s true.” Peng Yuxian stopped dwelling on the issue. Only then did he remember the purpose of his visit, and he began searching among the corpses. “Geng Miaowan…Geng Miaowan…”

The air was filled with the unique, sweet scent of Geng Miaowan's blood, even stronger than when they left. This indicated that Geng Miaowan had lost a significant amount of blood since they departed.

The ground was littered with the corpses of many mutants, and among them were a few vampires of level 1 or even level 2.

"How could this be?" Ji Hongzhang stared at the scene before him in disbelief. So many corpses, coupled with the pervasive stench of blood in the air, showed just how brutal the battle had been.

"How could this happen?" Peng Yuxian gave him a cold look. "If you had said so earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

"I... I originally thought it was just a few level-3 mutants, and with the strength of the two men beside her, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with them. Who knew that even level-3 and even level-4 vampires would come."

However, Peng Yuxian glared at him and said, "Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and come help us search."

Ji Hongzhang also started searching. After all, Geng Miaowan had risked so much of her life to save Peng Yuxian. No matter how much he disliked her, he shouldn't have wanted her to die so soon after saving his friend.

He genuinely hadn't expected to see level 1 and 2 vampires joining in the fun. "But... don't you find it strange? Usually, vampires of these levels don't associate with level 2 mutants. Why are there so many here all of a sudden?"

Peng Yuxian rolled his eyes at him. "You're asking me? Who should I ask?"

"Found it!" Upon hearing Ji Hongzhang's voice, Peng Yuxian rushed forward and saw that Ji Hongzhang was carrying the corpse of a super vampire. He said to Ji Hongzhang, "Found it! Look here!"

Peng Yuxian's heart, which had been in his throat, relaxed again. He resisted the urge to slap Ji Hongzhang to death and said irritably, "What are you looking at? I asked you to help me find Geng Miaowan, what are you doing making a fuss here?"

"No, look here." Ji Hongzhang pointed to a wound on the vampire's body. "Isn't this wound strange? It looks a bit like the wound he caused, but it's different. It even feels like it's more serious than his?"

Peng Yuxian then leaned closer to take a look. He discovered that the vampire's fatal wound on its chest was a scratch mark, as if a hand with sharp nails had reached into its chest and caused it, a fatal blow, and the edges of the wound were somewhat blackened.

"Don't you find it strange? Where did so many level-1 and even level-2 vampires come from?" Ji Hongzhang was clearly more interested in this question than in finding Geng Miaowan. "I remember Qiu Pi telling us that all the viruses he had were lost in that mistake. Also, look at these level-2 mutants, don't you think there are too many of them?"

Something flashed through Peng Yuxian's mind. Thinking of that possibility, his eyes widened suddenly. "You mean..."

Ji Hongzhang nodded.

Geng Miaowan felt lightheaded, yet her feet couldn't touch the ground. What was happening to her? Was she dead? She remembered being held by a vampire before she lost consciousness. And then?

It feels like I've been sucked of blood, and then what?

It seems that Luan Hao really didn't try to save her until the very end...

Thinking of this, she sighed softly, wondering how Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aoxuan were doing. She had dragged them down with her.

She was feeling sad when suddenly a powerful suction pulled her away. When she opened her eyes again, a blinding light was shining mercilessly into them.

The doctor opened her eyes, turned off the flashlight, scribbled something in his notebook, and then said to the person outside the door, "She's awake, but she still needs to rest."

"Yes, I see."

Geng Miaowan recognized Xu Ruwen's voice. She opened her mouth and called out, "Ruwen..."

The voice was extremely soft, as if it came directly from the mouth without passing through the throat, but Xu Ruwen still heard it. He quickly came to the bedside, "I'm here, are you alright?"

Geng Miaowan nodded, then shook her head. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just some minor injuries, almost healed." The minor injuries he mentioned almost cost him his life, but he didn't want to say that in front of her.

Hearing this, a relieved smile appeared on her face, but a sense of understanding washed over her. She glanced behind him; besides herself, Xu Ruwen was the only other person in the entire ward. "Where's Aoxuan?"

“Ao Xuan, he…” Xu Ruwen paused, thinking about how to tell her this.

However, her pause stirred a bad feeling in Geng Miaowan's heart, "He's still dead...?" She had thought that her act of shielding him would save him, but she hadn't expected...

Just as she was feeling sad, a domineering voice suddenly appeared in her mind, "I think you're the one who's going to die!"

A small white figure appeared before her eyes, and she exclaimed, "Little White, thank goodness, you're alright!"

"Put away your foolish sentimentality and this title that is completely unbecoming of my status."

At this moment, Geng Miaowan also realized that this person was not Huangfu Aoran, Huangfu Aoxuan's eldest brother, but his second brother, Huangfu Aohan. "How is... Aoxuan?"

Huangfu Aohan snorted coldly, "Don't worry, he won't die."

If he hadn't known that this woman almost lost her life to save Huangfu Aoxuan, he would have torn her to pieces. What kind of broken spirit body is that? What's so good about that broken blood? It actually caused such a huge problem, leaving his brother barely alive.

Geng Miaowan looked at the arrogant little white dog standing there, and felt a pang of sadness when she thought about how Huangfu Aohan no longer even had the ability to maintain his human form. That was the little bit of cultivation that the three brothers had worked so hard to accumulate, and it was all gone just like that.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

Xu Ruwen: "I'm fine."

Huangfu Aohan: "Good to know."

Xu Ruwen glared at Huangfu Aohan, who had transformed into a dog, and thought that the three Cerberus brothers were all quite temperamental, with Huangfu Aoxuan being the best. He glanced at Geng Miaowan and hesitated before speaking, "Wan'er, there's something else I need to tell you."

In a special room in the hospital, there was a computer displaying a picture of two people and a dog in the ward. A handsome man in a black suit was standing there with his arms crossed, watching. Next to him stood a young man in a suit, who looked like his assistant.

Looking at the two people talking on the screen, Du Jie asked, puzzled, "Why save them?"

"Why..." Qiu Pi murmured, then smiled silently, because he had discovered something very interesting, or perhaps more accurately, something very important.

"Oh, right, this just arrived." Du Jie said, handing Qiu Pi a chip the size of a fingernail. Qiu Pi inserted it into his cell phone, and lines of small text quickly appeared on the screen. (To be continued.)
