What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Xiang Kun lay on the ground for more than ten minutes, and only got up after his body had basically recovered.

Rain and snow drifted leisurely in the sky, and the temperature dropped a lot, but compared to the raging lightning storm just now, the rain and snow now feel inexplicably warm?

Xiang Kun's mouth still had a smile that hadn't smoothed over.

The "flying" in the air for more than a minute just now can be said to be after he mutated...no, it was after he became an adult...not right, it should be said to be the happiest and most enjoyable experience in his life.

After triggering the lightning storm, flying through the thunder and lightning, on the verge of losing control in the high altitude, the process of concentrating his attention and reacting in an instant made him instantly decide the extreme danger of life and death and conquer the sky and lightning. In the sense of accomplishment, I got the ultimate pleasure.

Whether it's a man or a woman, whether it's an old man or a child, Xiang Kun feels that the desire to fly is inscribed into his genes.

Even before the mutation, Xiang Kun, who had a fear of heights, had fantasized about having the ability to fly.

Xiang Kun never thought that it would be so cool to be able to fly directly in the air without relying on external objects.

In addition to flying, the minute or so just now allowed him to grow back his long-lost "hair". Of course, Xiang Kun knew that strictly speaking, that thing was not the same as ordinary hair.

Compared with "hair", they are more like a functional tissue that can help him gather and control the peripheral charges around his body, so as to control the direction and speed of flight.

But obviously, they need to be driven by a specific electric field environment and enough electric energy to appear. When they appear, Xiang Kun can clearly perceive them and use them to control the electric charges around him to a certain extent , controlling the direction slightly.

But when the large-scale discharge of the cloud layer ends and the "electric energy" of the whole body is exhausted, those hairs disappear directly.

Now Xiang Kun couldn't perceive their existence either. Instead of "shrinking" back into his head, they annihilated directly.

During the last "test flight", the light clusters gathered around him were like his shadow, completely uncontrollable and unperceivable. But the faint halo around her just now can be influenced and controlled to a certain extent through the "hair". This should be the functional organization evolved by the body in order to realize the ability of "royal flight" after the recent blood-drinking mutation, combined with the "needs" put forward by the training guide.

Xiang Kun touched his still bald head, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He didn't have time to think about it in the air, and he couldn't even think about it at all, but now he couldn't help it. Is there any way to keep that hair? It doesn't matter if it is more than one meter long, a length of 2 or 3 cm is fine.

In the snow and rain, Xiang Kun, who was barefoot, walked back while thinking.

Now that the goal of this experiment has been completed, there is naturally no need to stay any longer.

Walking in the forest, looking at the fire slowly extinguishing in the rain and snow in the distance, Xiang Kun frowned slightly as he recalled the devastating lightning storm just now.

Obviously, the sudden lightning storm and the large-scale explosive discharge between the cloud and the ground were caused by him.

But to be honest, he still hasn't figured out how he did it.

The only operation he could know was to sense the changes in the electric field of the atmosphere and the movement trend of the electric charge between the cloud and the ground, and then he could use all his strength to throw himself into the air at the right time.

Subsequent "charging\

,"It's a bit like a mobile phone just thrown on the wireless charging pedestal. It just passively accepts and gathers charges. As for how to gather them, I don't understand.

A bare-bottomed surfer was riding the wave, and suddenly found that the wave had turned into a tsunami.

He is also very confused!

In the end, Xiang Kun thought it was due to his lack of understanding of abilities and lack of control.

After I go back, I still need to look for more relevant articles and materials. When I know why this short-term high-intensity thunderstorm phenomenon is caused, I can reverse my possible role and impact based on its principle.

He was also a little lucky, fortunately, he chose this uninhabited mountainous area for the experiment, otherwise, not to mention the middle of the city, even in the suburbs, innocent people might be affected.

Without first figuring out how such a large-scale lightning storm would detonate, Xiang Kun would not dare to fly where there were people for the time being.

He is not worried that someone who has noticed the abnormal phenomenon will come to find him. In this deep mountain and old forest, especially in the dark night, his advantages are too great. With super vision and switching between night vision mode and infrared thermal imaging mode, And other powerful senses, allowing him to maintain the effect of "full map", always be able to find other creatures first, even machines can't escape his senses.

For example, a passenger plane flew by in the distance just now. Although the distance was very far away, he also noticed it, and quickly assessed the possibility that the people on the plane would find him.

Judging from the angle and the visual situation at that time, although Xiang Kun was in the air with a faint halo around him, and it was still bright and dark, but because the distance was too far and the height was different, cumulonimbus clouds covered the traffic in that direction. Most of the field of vision was full of lightning at the time, so it was difficult for the naked eye to notice him in flight.

Even if you notice it, you can't tell what it is at all.

Unless someone happened to take a picture with the right equipment, and then looked back carefully and zoomed in, it would be possible to discover it.

But that was at best a strange-shaped "flying object". After all, his "long hair" was straightened and opened at the back of his head. People are more likely.

While driving in the middle of the night, Xiang Kun sensed the location of the bone that established the supersensory connection. It was still in the Qinling no-man's land. Compared with the previous direction of movement, he was still walking out, but the speed was really slow. It is speculated that there may be too many things brought out in the mountains, and the speed of carrying them will not be fast. After all, many places over there are very difficult to navigate. Not everyone can ignore the terrain like Xiang Kun, can open the way better than wild boars, and climb trees better than monkeys.

I sensed the rabbit woodcarving again, but there was still no feedback. Obviously, those people were still firmly implementing the strategy of staying away from the woodcarving while sleeping.

Xiang Kun was not worried about what they could study after the wood carving was brought back.

Even if there are vampires with similar abilities in Shenxing Technology, judging from Xiang Kun's research on these items that establish various connections, it is very unlikely that they will try to reverse perceive him through these items. The other party did this because according to his understanding, he has absolute authority in the induction system he has established through various "supersensory connection" and "emotional injection" items. If the other party had a similar perception ability and tested it through his items, it would give Xiang Kun a chance to reverse the detection, and the other party must be the first to be exposed.

Compared with wood carvings and bones, Xiang Kun is more worried that the people behind "Shenxing Technology" who know the truth about mutant creatures and vampires will use other social methods after judging that the mutant creatures in the Qinling Mountains have been killed by vampires from another human society. way to find relevant information.

So he also recalled and retrieved the process of going to Qinling no-man's land and leaving.

The car to go to the town is a private car I found temporarily near the station, and the payment is also in cash, so it is unlikely to leave any clues;

When I arrived in that small town, I didn't stay overnight, so I won't leave any identity registration;

He has entered a hotel in a small town, pretended to go to the toilet, and then collected various information through his super senses. In the process, he kept his face from being photographed by surveillance;

When entering the mountain, he walked directly, did not pass any entrance of the scenic spot, and was not seen by anyone;

Because of the nature of the body, he will not leave any body tissue for human acquisition;

The clothes that were damaged in the mountains were also brought back, and the footprints left behind, the traces of fighting with the mutated spider, etc., should have been almost destroyed by the heavy rain for several days afterwards.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be "fish that slipped through the net". After all, he did not deal with them one by one, which is impossible.

Damaged clothing may also have small fragments or fibers remaining, but the possibility of being found is too small.

And even if these are found, it is still difficult to locate him, unless he already has doubts about him, which can be verified by those supporting evidence.

However, based on what he has observed during this period of time, Shenxing Technology's behavior style still cannot be ignored.

Maybe they have other unconventional methods to investigate "suspect targets". Without knowing the method, no matter how careful Xiang Kun's thinking is, it is impossible to guess what they will do and how far they can do it.

So after the "bones" left the Qinling no-man's land, arrived at the final destination, and finally confirmed the location, Xiang Kun would find a way to investigate to see if there was a way to "infiltrate" it in, and only by knowing himself and the enemy could he win all battles.

Of course, under the premise of ensuring your own safety.

Xiang Kun, who was running fast on the mountain road at night, suddenly stopped, feeling it, and looked up at the night sky.

...

star city.

Liu Shiling is drawing pictures in her room. This is the homework assigned by the kindergarten teacher today, asking them to draw the winter in their minds.

Liu Shiling started drawing after dinner, and she has already drawn five pictures, but she was not satisfied with all of them. In the end, they were all painted into a ball, torn off and thrown into the trash can.

She really couldn't concentrate on the painting. It wasn't because she was playful and didn't want to finish her homework. It was because her father, who hadn't seen him for almost a month, was in the living room at home. Mom quarreled, and the more noisy it became, the louder and louder it became.

Although her mother told her to stay in the room and draw, and she was not allowed to go out until the painting was finished, she really couldn't continue to paint. Even if the door was closed, the sound of quarreling outside could still be heard clearly in her ears.

On the other hand that is not holding the paintbrush, the coin is flying rapidly between the fingers, but it has no usual stability, and it seems that it will fall off the finger and fall to the ground at any time.

"You silly bitch!!" With a snarl, the sound of a broken glass resounded in the living room.

Liu Shiling, who was so frightened by the sound, finally couldn't bear it any longer. Holding the coin in her hand, she opened the door and rushed out. Standing in front of her furious father who was about to scold him, she opened her arms and said loudly: "You are not allowed to scold mother!"

The middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a ferocious expression was about to blurt out the swear words after seeing his daughter, but finally suppressed them.

Shi Ling's mother scolded angrily: "Who told you to come out? Go back to the house! Your business has nothing to do with you! Don't meddle in it!" Her voice was choked with sobs.

Liu Shiling looked up at the flushed and angry mother, bit her lower lip, and finally walked back to the room with her head down.

The quarrel outside continued, but the voice was a little quieter. Liu Shiling knew that it wasn't that her father and mother were arguing less intensely, but that they went to the balcony.

She sat in the room for a while, still unable to do anything, but subconsciously flipping the coins with her fingers.

Then she seemed to have made a decision, she held the coin, and started to pick up her small red schoolbag to pack things, stuffed a few clothes, some origami paper, a small red flashlight, and a small long box containing her special chopsticks. He left the room with his schoolbag on his back.

Dad and mother were arguing on the balcony, but they didn't see her. She stood at the door of the room and watched for a while, then lowered her head and carried her schoolbag to open the door and walked out of the house.

She took the elevator down the stairs, left the community, and walked several hundred meters. Standing on the sidewalk in the middle of the night, where there was no one else, Liu Shiling slowly stopped in her tracks.

The first reaction in her mind just now was to leave the house temporarily to avoid the quarrel between her parents. The only place she could think of was to find the bald uncle.

But when she got here, she suddenly remembered that she forgot to bring money, how can she take a taxi without money, and how can she get to the city where the bald uncle lives without taking a car?

And she didn't have a mobile phone, so she couldn't contact Uncle Bald.

This season, at this time, the temperature in Xingcheng is already close to zero, and a cold wind blows at night, which makes people want to shrink their necks and stomp their feet. Liu Shiling is only wearing a thin red sweater and red khaki pants, even a jacket. Forgot to wear it.

I just went downstairs with a feeling of emotion, but I didn't feel anything yet, but now I stood still, but I couldn't help shivering from the cold, and my nose wanted to come out.

Sniffing, the little chubby girl looked back at the neighborhood in the distance, hesitating whether to go home or not, now sneaking back, her parents might still be arguing on the balcony, she didn't realize that she just "run away from home", She can quietly go back to the room as if nothing happened.

Hey? When you came out, it seemed that the door was locked? And the access control downstairs has to swipe the card to open.

The little fat girl scratched her head, struggling for a while.

When she was hesitating, she suddenly found a homeless uncle with beards and a tattered padded jacket looking at her with piercing eyes in the bus stop diagonally opposite.

Liu Shiling's heart jumped violently, thinking of the stories her mother told her about children being taken away by bad guys in order to keep her from running around, her feet were a little weak.

Just when she was about to move, she suddenly heard faint thunder, she looked up in surprise, the night sky above her head didn't change much, she could even see the moon, isn't it going to rain?

In the past, Liu Shiling would be afraid when she heard thunder. She was not considered a brave child.

But when she heard the thunder today, she didn't feel any fear. Instead, she felt an inexplicable curiosity, wanting to hear it more clearly.

The rumble of thunder, seeming far away but also approaching, one after another, somehow made her feel at ease, and when she looked at the homeless man across the street, she was no longer afraid.

And for some reason, she saw that the uncle was staring at her, as if it wasn't malicious, but fear?

What is uncle afraid of?

The rumbling thunder gradually stopped, and Liu Shiling suddenly looked down at the coin she had been holding in her hand. She clenched her fist with the center of the fist upward, put her thumb under the coin, and then bounced the coin with a ding.

She often does this action, bouncing the coin 20 to 30 centimeters, then falling down and clapping it on the back of her hand, asking other children to guess heads and tails. This is a game she often plays with people in kindergarten, and she always wins.

But this time, the coin bounced straight into the air, flying higher and higher.

Liu Shiling raised her head, squinted her eyes, and looked at the coin that was flying higher and higher until it was almost invisible before hovering, showing a happy smile.

She retracted her gaze, looked at the homeless uncle across the street, pointed to the top of her head, and shouted: "Uncle! Uncle! Look!"

"Ah!?...Ah!!!" However, what surprised Liu Shiling was that the uncle ran away screaming and stumbling as she cast her gaze, as if he had seen something terrible ?

Liu Shiling, who had been focusing on the coin just now, didn't notice that the moment she flipped the coin, all the street lights around her were constantly changing in brightness and darkness, and the closer the street lights were to her, the greater the range of change.

At that distance, the homeless uncle who had drunk a lot could not see the coins in her hand at all, but only saw the little girl in red with a red schoolbag on her back, making a gesture to him amidst the flickering street lights. A weird gesture of thumbing up, then looked up at the sky, and then looked at him with a human smile.

Recalling the "true stories" he had heard when he was young, the homeless man could no longer suppress his fear and ran away.

Liu Shiling looked suspiciously at the figure who disappeared at the corner of the street, and when she was about to look up at the coin hovering in the air, the coin had already fallen in front of her.

When leaning over to pick up the coins, Liu Shiling heard a crackling voice behind her shouting: "Liu Shiling!!!"

Liu Shiling shrunk her neck subconsciously, got up and turned her head, lowered her head, and put her legs together, like a quail just picked up from the water, thinking about how to admit her mistake to ease her mother's fury.

But Shiling's mother, who ran over at a speed of 100 meters like an athlete, knelt on the ground on one knee, hugged her tightly, and cried, "I'm sorry, baby, mom is wrong, don't leave Mom, mom won't kill you anymore..."

Liu Shiling, who was racking her brains to figure out a solution, burst into tears, and shouted, "I'm sorry, Mom, I don't dare anymore... Chiliu... Ah! I've had a runny nose, Mom, I'm so cold..."
