Bloodline Survival Guide

The sun is rare today.

The morning fog is also penetrated by the morning sun, and the whole city has a warm and cozy feeling.

The sun is not very friendly to the vampires.

During the day when there is direct sunlight, the blood race will be weaker and less energetic than usual.If you are exposed to the sun for a long time, the skin will be dehydrated and cracked quickly.

Originally, on a day like this, Chen Zhen should have stayed at home for a day, but he still went out.

Chen Zhen wrapped herself up tightly, wore a mask and a hat, and shuttled back and forth in the streets and alleys filled with morning light.

Passing through stalls selling soy milk and fried dough sticks, and shops selling noodles and rice noodles, he kept passing groups of human beings who went to work and school during the morning rush hour, looking for something in the streets.

Finally he stopped in front of a store called 'South Country'.

Chen Zhen raised his hand and knocked for a long time before the door opened.

The one who opened the door was a man wearing a black vest. He looked very ordinary, and what was not ordinary was the full arm tattoo on both hands.

"What are you doing early in the morning?" The man hid at the door, he was stunned for a while when he saw Chen Zhen, and then he showed a very impatient look, "We start business after ten o'clock, come early in the morning to tattoo, are you sick? "

Seeing Chen Zhen's indifferent expression, he cursed and became even angrier, "Don't think that foreigners can make an exception for you because they are good-looking! Can you understand Chinese? It's closed now!"

Chen Zhen took off his hat, did not answer his words, but took out a black round token from his bag.

The token looks like an antique, the old color is very retro, there is a blood-red gemstone inlaid in the middle, and complicated patterns are carved around it.

Chen Zhen shook the thing in front of the man, saw the man's expression changed, and then took the token back.

The man hurriedly opened the door completely to let Chen Zhen in, still talking nonsense, "Why didn't you say it earlier, you are our VIP, fast forward, fast forward, ouch, why didn't you say hello before you came..."

He brought Chen Zhen inside, and Chen Zhen looked up. It was a tattoo shop, and the store was not small.

The man hurried to the back room to find a shirt and put it on to cover his tattoo.He hastily buttoned his button three times or two, and as soon as he came out, he knelt down on one knee towards Chen Zhen.

The old god Chen Zhen crossed his legs on the ground and asked him, "Do I need to introduce myself?"

The man smiled awkwardly, "Of course not, Mr. Vidal, don't be angry. You know that we, the Crusaders, only recognize tokens and blood spirits. If you didn't show the cross just now, I wouldn't be able to I recognize you. After all, you also know our rules, without your instructions, we can't take the initiative to appear in front of you."

After saying this, both of them were silent for a while.Chen Zhen looked down at his fingers, and took a long time to raise his head.

"Get up, stand up and talk." Chen Zhen looked at the man in front of him with a smile that was not a smile, "Li Ping, the leader of the Southern Cross dead soldiers, is from Beijing, China, and is 82 years old this year, so he can be considered a senior. That's fine. , I became the team leader at a young age, and I’m just of ordinary blood.”

"Your Excellency is ridiculous." Li Ping kept his head down, "May I ask you why Your Excellency came to see me this time..."

Chen Zhen took off her schoolbag and put it on her lap, and looked at her watch, "Are you in such a hurry, I want to pave the way for you... It's okay, I have to go to class later, to make a long story short."

Li Ping was stunned when he heard the words, "Class?"

"I study at the Agricultural University." Chen Zhen paused, then coughed, emphasizing, "...I got in by myself, with a score of 586."

"..." Li Ping was silent for a while, and then complimented without emotion, "My lord is really amazing."

"Awesome?" Chen Zhen said in a calm tone, "What is this? You will know how powerful it is later."

Li Ping heard that his tone was not right, so he didn't dare to answer, so he lowered his head and waited for Chen Zhen to speak.

"You are the one who was left to me directly by the great elder. Although we met for the first time, I think I should be able to trust you." Chen Zhen paused, "...Have you been to Europe, have you seen me?"

Of the eight bloodlines of the ancestors, only the Great Elder has the Crusaders.They are individually appointed by the Great Elder, do not belong to any organization, and are regarded as retainers.But in fact... This is the first time Chen Zhen has the right to use this token.

After hearing this, Li Ping bowed and replied, "I haven't met your lord. But my lord, if I remember correctly, you are not yet of age, are you?"

The adulthood period for a Kindred is 30 years.

In addition to the year when she slept in the coffin after the first embrace, Chen Zhen, as a blood clan, is 29 years old this year and will only become an adult next year.

Chen Zhen frowned, "Everyone knows something, so why ask it again."

"Of course I want to ask clearly. You are not yet an adult. Although you have inherited the blood of the Great Elder, you have not inherited the identity of the Great Elder." Li Ping raised his head and smiled at Chen Zhen, "So I am very curious, why you have not yet Inheriting the title of Great Elder, but having the Great Elder's Cross Order in his hand?"

"Before I came to China, the Fourth Elder, who is now temporarily taking over the Ou headquarters, gave me the cross order." Chen Zhen's tone remained the same, and he could not hear the slightest wave, "I know it may be against the regulations, but I need help very much now. It is not necessary At this critical moment, I will not use the cross to find you."

Liping was stunned for a moment, and he raised an eyebrow, "Master Vidal, may I know what happened?"

"Okay, then I'll get straight to business." Chen Zhen looked serious, "Do you know that I'm here to take over the affairs of the southern part of China, do you know the current situation of the Liu family, and do you know that the wolf king is about to wake up?"

There were three questions in a row.

Li Ping seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he answered quickly, "My lord, we are a knife for you when you are in danger. Our mission is to protect the safety and continuation of the blood of the ancestors. What you just asked me Those questions are not within the scope of my mission. If you really want to know, you can summon the blood shadow planted in the south to ask questions. My mission is to show up when you need it and be your weapon. Other... …is not within my purview.”

"Okay, I'll take it as if you answered my second and third questions. You mean you don't know." Chen Zhen touched the shoulder strap of his schoolbag and stared at him, "Then do you know that I'm here to take over the China region?" thing?"

Li Ping nodded, "Everywhere you go, we will receive notifications."

Chen Zhen didn't know which word in his words angered her, she stood up abruptly, and the schoolbag on her knee fell to the ground.

He snapped and asked, "Who will notify?"

Chen Zhen's eyes turned red.

Before Li Ping could react, he was shocked by the coercion erupting from Chen Zhen.He swayed, closed his eyes and knelt down on one knee, and tried his best to speak, "Master Vidal, calm down first..."

"Calm your anger?" Chen Zhen burst into a rage in an instant, flashed in front of Li Ping, lightly grabbed his neckline, and directly lifted him up in the air,

"Do you still know to call me an adult? Do you think I am an adult? Let me ask you, who is behind your Crusaders? Can you contact the headquarters now? How much do you know about things here? If you want to die, I advise you to say it quickly."

After speaking, Chen Zhen threw him onto a recliner.Li Ping smashed on it in embarrassment, and the four metal legs of the chair broke with a snap.

Li Ping didn't dare to resist at all.Panting heavily, he stood up again, lowered his head and said to Chen Zhen, "My lord, I really don't know."

Chen Zhen was uncertain, looked at him condescendingly for a while, and then asked him coolly, "Tell me you know."

Li Ping caught his breath, and then said in a low voice, "My lord, I really... have nothing to say, why do you make things difficult for me as a servant."

Chen Zhen remained silent, his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.

He walked up to Li Ping step by step, and raised his hand to give him a slap.

This slap directly slapped Li Ping against the wall. To Li Ping, the force was almost like a speeding car hitting him.A big hole was knocked out of the wall by him, and he fell to the ground, feeling as if his nose, eyes, and ears were shaking, and his head was still buzzing.

——Master Vidal has a grumpy and grumpy temper, so it is true.This is Li Ping's only thought now.

Chen Zhen still didn't let him go, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Ping by the throat, lifted him up, and continued to ask him, "You still don't know?"

With blood in his mouth, Li Ping replied intermittently, "Master Vidal... the headquarters is for your own good..."

Chen Zhen took a deep breath, dragged him with one hand, and threw him onto the workbench used for tattooing in the shop, and said without emotion, "Li Ping, let me tell you, I can't contact anyone in the headquarters now, and I can't convene any other people. As far as the blood shadow stationed here, I haven't even heard the news that the wolf king is about to wake up... Why can't I contact anyone in the headquarters immediately after I know about the wolf king's about to wake up? What are you planning?"

Seeing that Chen Zhen had raised his hand, Li Ping's eyes had turned completely dark red. With this slap, Li Ping felt that half of his life must have been lost!He quickly opened his mouth when Chen Zhen threw another slap -

"Master Vidal!" Li Ping yelled, "You know that the Second Elder and the Third Elder have always been worried about the fact that you will inherit the Ou headquarters, and they have tried every means to get rid of you. It is also helpless for you to be sent to China this time. An unexpected accident... I don't know what happened at the headquarters, but I'm sure that the Second Elder and the Third Elder must be putting pressure on the Fourth Elder, so it caused some confusion..."

Chen Zhen was taken aback when he heard the words, let go of Li Ping's neck, and murmured, "Lilith told me that the Fourth Elder has entered a dormancy period... Is it because of this that he went to dormancy earlier?"

Li Ping panted, and closed his eyes tiredly, "Master, how do we servants know this? I can only tell you that the Fourth Elder gave us a death order before you came to China, not letting you To meddle in anything about the wolf tribe in the southwest of China, even if the wolf king wants to wake up, we must block the news...at least not to inform you, this is the meaning of the fourth elder. But not long ago, we received a message from the Ou headquarters Another secret order... It says that you are required to kill the ancient wolf king on the day the wolf king wakes up. This will be your most important task in China. After completing it, you can return to the headquarters in advance to inherit the title of Great Elder. "

Chen Zhen was shocked, "Kill the ancient wolf king? Who issued the secret order? Are you crazy?"

Moreover, Chen Zhen had never seen the shadow of these two orders.

Why hide it from him?

Li Ping wiped the blood from his head and sighed, "My lord, whose order is not important. But now, Blood Shadow and us Crusaders have received two orders with completely opposite meanings. I dare to ask Lord Vidal, What would you do if it were you."

Chen Zhen's eyes fixed on him, "I'm more concerned about why you keep it from me."

"Master Vidal..." Li Ping sighed wearily, thinking that this man was more difficult to deal with than brown sugar, he beat himself half to death when he came up, and kept asking, he was really bad luck for eight lifetimes.

"The fourth elder has his own considerations. Why do you have to be so desperate? The important thing now is that we have received two different orders. You have stayed in the European headquarters for so many years, and you know that something must have happened at the headquarters now. In this situation , we can only follow the old practice and disconnect from the headquarters first to avoid being involved in internal fighting."

"So you simply cut off contact with me?" Chen Zhen sneered, "You think it's cutting vegetables, right? If you say cut it off, cut it off! If I don't come here today, you're going to hide it from me, right?"

Li Ping lowered his head and covered his wound, fearing that Chen Zhen would violently beat someone up again, and said cautiously, "My lord, the order of the Crusaders is to protect you, we can't intervene in anything else."

Chen Zhen folded his arms and walked around the room around Liping.

Li Ping was very upset, and when Chen Zhen finally stopped, he walked up to Li Ping and squatted down.

In Li Ping's eyes, Chen Zhen's pale and beautiful face had already been equated with the devil. He was not in the mood to admire the handsome man at all, the handsome man was too fierce.As soon as Chen Zhen approached him, he subconsciously raised his heart.

But Chen Zhen didn't do anything, he just looked at Li Ping coldly for a long time, although this also made Li Ping's hair stand on end...

"I can't go back to the Ou headquarters now. There is something wrong with the Liu family." Chen Zhen said in a serious tone, "Since you don't care about it, and the Ou headquarters is also in chaos, I will solve it myself. In this critical period, no matter which elder gives the instructions in the future, I will I won't listen to it anymore. I don't care what your attitude is, but..."

Chen Zhen pointed at Li Ping's head, "If you make trouble for me, no matter if it's a dead cross or a blood shadow, I will screw your heads off one by one! Do you understand?"

Li Ping's shoulders trembled from the weight of his words.

He gritted his teeth and replied in a low voice, "Yes."

When Chen Zhen picked up his schoolbag and left, Li Ping fell limply to the ground.

It hurts so much.

He lifted his clothes to look at the wound on his body and sighed.

The room was quiet, and at some point, a pair of well-polished men's leather shoes had stopped by his legs.

"Sorry my lord, I don't have the strength to move anymore..." Li Ping held his wound, said so, but still bowed his head to the visitor, "Master Vidal is too harsh."

"Thank you." It was a middle-aged man's voice, "He has always had a bad temper."

"Why does Lord Vidal have the cross in his hand?" Li Ping asked suspiciously, coughing up another mouthful of blood while speaking.

"That cross is fake." The man handed a handkerchief to Li Ping, sighed, "He's pretty good at bluffing people."

Li Ping took the handkerchief and was silent for a while, dumbfounded, before asking hesitantly, "He has already started to suspect, we now..."

"Don't do anything." The man interrupted Li Ping, "I know that the matter of the Wolf King cannot be hidden from him, so you can tell him. Let's see what he chooses. We can't protect him forever. That man ...and still miss him."

Li Ping became anxious when he heard the words, "But if there is another chaos at the headquarters, Vidal will really kill that person in order to stabilize the overall situation..."

Halfway through his speech, he seemed to have remembered something horrific, his expression changed again and again, but he didn't continue speaking after all.

"Just wait and see." The middle-aged man sighed lightly, and patted Li Ping on the shoulder, "Even if it really happened, it was his fate."

Fate.

The two words are so heavy that no one can say anything to refute.

Liping was not qualified to know more, so he could only sigh.
