Xiao Qiang was struggling, barely holding on. "Ah... uh..." The roar from the back seat made Wu Yi and Matt anxious.
"Quick, see if there are any drugs to suppress his transformation."
"I'm looking," Matt said, rummaging through the car's drawers, sweat pouring down his face. A small, unassuming green capsule caught his eye, and he couldn't help but shout in excitement, "Found it! There's a precious V2 Zombie Virus Gene Vaccine capsule here. I originally planned to give it to Lin Yu, but I didn't expect..."
"Quick..." Wu Yi interrupted him, pushing open the car door to the back seat. He opened the door, urging Matt to hurry and inject the drug into Xiao Qiang's capillaries. Xiao Qiang felt uneasy, unsure if this dose would actually work.
Every nerve in Xiao Qiang's body was tense; his blood felt like it was flowing backward, his veins were collapsing, his limbs trembled, and it seemed as if his skin was about to burst. As Matt injected the drug, his heart raced with fear that Xiao Qiang might jerk suddenly and break the syringe.
Two long minutes passed... Matt and Wu Yi prepared to run, watching as Xiao Qiang's eyes turned bloodshot and his skin began to crack... They silently urged him in their hearts: You have to hold on, you must hold on.
Finally, under their focused gaze, two minutes passed, and the drug indeed had a suppressive effect in the capillaries. The bloodshot eyes returned to normal, followed by his limbs and facial muscles.
"Ha~ ha~ ha," Xiao Qiang was okay now. After struggling against the mutated form earlier, he was utterly exhausted. With the aid of the drug, he gradually drifted into a peaceful sleep.
Seeing him drenched in sweat, Wu Yi and Matt exchanged a smile and embraced each other tightly in relief.
"Let's go to Dongjiawan Station."
"Okay."
Dongjiawan Station still had several buses running throughout the day; the platform remained desolate. A stinking ditch ran beneath the train tracks, now filled with wild grass. In the past, there must have been many rats and other creatures here. At the end of the tracks was a narrow road lined with a few eateries.
These eateries catered to long-distance drivers; in bygone days, this place was also known for being a temporary spot for those seeking wild food or companionship.
The leftover oil from these restaurants flowed into the stinking ditch; otherwise, how could there be rats setting up camp among the wild grass and breeding? The car lights cast reflections on the tracks and illuminated a large patch of wild grass beside the ditch.
"Maybe those rats went down into the sewers," Wu Yi said, feeling that it was too quiet here. He picked up a stick and casually stirred the grass, hoping for some movement.
"I'll go wake up Xiao Qiang and see," Matt said as he turned to call for Xiao Qiang while Wu Yi continued poking at the grass. Disappointingly, they saw no rats or even a single cockroach.
Inside the car, Xiao Qiang slept soundly for the first time without dreaming; it was a peaceful slumber. When Matt called him awake, he realized they had already arrived at Dongjiawan Station.
Waking up startled him greatly. He was surprised that Matt and Wu Yi were here, especially at night...
"You two need to drive away quickly. Hurry..."
"Fear the birds!" Wu Yi rolled up her sleeves, deliberately revealing her sharp nails.
"This is a piece of cake for you. Trust me, your priority is to protect Matt and get him out of here." The full moon hung high in the treetops, casting a dark red glow instead of the usual bright white.
Seeing this, Xiao Qiang felt increasingly anxious. Without hesitation, he pushed both Matt and Wu Yi toward the car.
There might not be enough time. Xiao Qiang heard faint movements behind him. Matt and Wu Yi got into the car, but before they could start it, several shadows emerged from the tunnel exit... The shadows suddenly huddled together...
"Not good! You all need to go now! Keep driving straight and step on the gas, don’t look back or out the windows!"
As Matt drove away, the shadows let out a howl. One shadow leaped toward the car trying to escape. Xiao Qiang clenched his fists and sprinted to intercept the werewolf that was lunging forward. While running, he attempted to channel his energy to transform, but unfortunately, just over ten minutes ago, Matt and the others had injected him with suppressants. By the time he reached the werewolf, he was still himself. His wings did not extend; he did not take on his werewolf form.
What a sight to behold—Xiao Qiang showed no fear against the terrifying werewolf as he nimbly dodged its pounces, claws, bites, and pulls... Meanwhile, in another location, Lin Yu, who was under house arrest, suddenly felt uneasy.
This sensation was peculiar; she often felt it when Xiao Qiang was in danger or something unexpected was about to happen.
Thinking of the battle at Dongjiawan, Lin Yu's heart tightened. She hurriedly spoke to Cold Star, who had been waiting by her side: "Little sister, I need to go out for a bit."
"Where are you going, sister?"
"I'm going to catch you a squirrel."
"What does a squirrel look like?"
"It has a fluffy big tail, small ears, and little eyes that spin around—very pretty."
"Wow! I really want to go out; my father has never allowed it."
"Be good. Tell me if there are any horses or cars around here?"
"I'll call Luca to prepare for you."
"Who is Luca?"
"My personal nanny."
"Let's keep this between us." Lin Yu felt anxious; she didn't want to risk encountering those unusual characters by leaving through the front door and wasting precious time. After pondering for a moment, she looked at Cold Star again and asked, "Is there another way out of here?"
"I sometimes go out with Yu to pick wild fruits. We don't eat them; we just think it's fun. But later, when death appeared in the forest, Father forbade us from going."
"Okay, hurry and tell your sister."
"Follow me."
Cold Star blinked her bright, spirited eyes and led Lin Yu through a passage to what seemed like a secluded dead end. She explained that there was a small opening at the dead end, and entering it would lead to the Underground Tunnel. If they kept turning right in the tunnel, they would reach another exit.
Cold Star also warned her that exiting from this point could lead to encountering something unpleasant. However, she would prepare a swift horse for Lin Yu, a horse that her father, Han Shaoyu, had specially transported from a distant place by sea for her tenth birthday.
As Lin Yu stepped out of the exit, she finally saw the dark sky outside. It was truly dark, but she wasn't afraid of it now; darkness was essentially the domain of their Vampire Clan.
She understood what Cold Star meant by unpleasant things—those were merely the Beast Werewolves that Han Shaoyu referred to as uncultured and disorganized.
A pitch-black horse was indeed tied to a wooden stake at the exit. Cold Star must have called Luca to tie it here; she naively thought her sister would come to catch little squirrels for her.
Mounting the horse, Lin Yu squeezed its belly with her legs. The horse neighed a few times and galloped away.
