What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Seeing Liu Shiling's "I'm super brave" attitude, Xia Tianhuo couldn't help but laugh.

This little girl is like a pistachio. Even though she doesn't actually want to make others laugh, Xia Tianhuo can't help but raise the corners of his mouth every time he sees her these days.

But looking at the little chubby girl's appearance, why does she still look a bit menacing and murderous after putting on the hood of her coat? Well, although she is still very cute, judging from the few interactions between Xia Tianhuo and the little chubby girl in the past few days, this little girl has a very good personality. She is in a cute state most of the time, soft and soft. Nuo Nuo seems to not lose his temper at all.

Xia Tianhuo could also feel that the little fat girl's aggressiveness was not directed at him, nor could it be directed at her sister Little Apple and Lao Xia. What was going on? Are you upset when you wake up in the middle of the night?

Or is it that the fact that the little girl was awakened by thunder was exposed, is she a little embarrassed and a little angry?

Xia Tianhuo smiled and said: "Okay, little Lingdang is very brave and is not afraid of thunder. She must have woken up from hunger. It's all your fault that your roast chicken wing sister didn't make delicious dinner."

Now Liu Shiling was a little embarrassed to be replaced. She scratched her head through the hood, walked down the stairs and greeted Chu Xiuwen, while arguing in a low voice for Lao Xia: "The dinner is still delicious." However, this argument sounded like an argument. But it's a bit powerless.

Seeing the little chubby girl approaching Lao Xia who was making noodles and leaning on her legs, Xia Tianhuo couldn't help but said: "Lao Xia, I'm making a supper for the children. You can also make some nutritious and healthy food." , why just instant noodles? It’s too perfunctory.”

However, when Xia Libing looked back, he immediately shut up because he realized what Lao Xia meant: You can do it.

There's nothing he can do, and neither can he.

When you are abroad, you have to cook your own food. Basically, meat and vegetables are stewed together in a pot. You can add more or less oil, salt and other seasonings according to circumstances, and you don’t know how to cook it. Especially after he ate the food cooked by Xiang Kun, his definition of "being able to cook" improved even more.

When Lao Xia added hot water to the instant noodles and the little fat girl went upstairs to ask Little Apple to come down to eat the noodles, Chu Xiuwen couldn't help but ask: "Dr. Xia, when there was a power outage and heavy fog just now, if you were awake, Did you hear anything? What did you smell?" Although Xia Libing no longer works in the hospital, he is still used to this title.

Xia Libing said: "I heard thunder and some birds chirping. I guess the birds in the mountains were frightened by the thunder and obscured by the fog. They couldn't tell the direction and wandered into the village by mistake. The visibility was too low and they were confused. If it flies around, it may hit the buildings in the village."

Chu Xiuwen and Xia Tianhuo immediately thought of the bird that died on the road.

He nodded subconsciously.

"Did you smell anything? When we were on the road, when the fog came out, we smelled something like barbecue..." Xia Tianhuo asked.

"Maybe it hit something during the thunder," Xia Libing said.

Chu Xiuwen frowned: "It still smells like cumin..."

"By the way, I seem to have seen something on fire in the village, and then flew into the mountains. Could it be that a bird was also hit?" Xia Tianhuo said, then laughed and shook his head: "No, it really happened. If a bird is struck by lightning, it will definitely burp on the spot and it will not be able to fly."

Chu Xiuwen glanced at him and couldn't help but want to refute. He thought of what he heard about the "Fire Phoenix" in Zihuan Mountain when he had tea with his old classmates Guo Lin and Officer Xu in Citong City later that year. He "refuted rumors" with many people that it was a drone that caught fire, not a fire phoenix, but after watching the relevant video, he had other ideas. Moreover, he also thought of the two fugitives who were struck to death by lightning in the Chongyun Mountain area. There must be some "existence" in this mountain. Maybe this is the reason why Mr. Xiang chose to live in Chongyun Village and serve as that research base.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he did not express his inner thoughts and judgments.

A few minutes later, the instant noodles were ready, and Liu Shiling took Little Apple downstairs to eat the noodles.

When they were sitting at the dining table eating noodles, the two girls, who were originally very lively and talkative girls, were busy eating noodles without saying a word, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.

Especially for Little Apple, when he first came downstairs, you could see that his eye sockets were a little red and swollen, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was not right, which was very different from his usual happy and sunny look.

Xia Tianhuo couldn't help but asked Lao Xia in a low voice: "What's wrong with Little Apple?"

Xia Libing said: "Jin Shining was injured on the way back before the fog started. They were both very sad."

Thinking of the extremely intelligent and chubby canary, Xia Tianhuo also asked with concern: "Is it seriously injured?" He immediately understood why the little chubby girl was in that state just now. It didn't seem to be menacing, but Worried.

Chu Xiuwen also hurriedly said: "I know an old friend who used to open a pet hospital in Jianzhou City. He now lives in the town. Now that the fog has cleared, can I take you to send the bird over to see it?"

Xia Libing shook his head and said, "No, the wound has been treated and bandaged. It's no problem."

Hearing her words, Xia Tianhuo and Chu Xiuwen both thought that Jin Shining was probably just a minor skin injury, and they could just apply some alcohol and iodine and wrap it up. As for the reactions of Little Apple and Little Fat Girl, it’s easy to understand. Little Apple can’t see, so it’s impossible to determine Jin Shining’s specific injuries. Little Fat Girl is too young and will be scared when seeing blood, so if she is concerned, she will be confused and overreact. , looking at Lao Xia, he became much calmer.

But Lao Xia always seemed so calm.

After drinking some tea and seeing that the rain had eased a lot, Chu Xiuwen also said goodbye and left.

On the way back, he deliberately drove around the newly built village road to see if Liu Caifu was awake. Then he turned to Xiang Kun's research base construction site and met with Liu Gaoshang and Liu Gaoshang who were both awake. The two brothers Liu Zhengyi chatted for a few words.

On the other side, Xia Tianhuo started to feel sleepy even after drinking tea. When he saw Little Apple and Little Fatty finishing their noodles and whispering something together, he told Lao Xia to go upstairs to the room first. Go to sleep.

When he passed the door of Little Apple's room on the second floor, he wanted to see Jin Shining's condition, so he opened the door and took a look.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, I saw a big orange cat standing up from the table and looking over with wide eyes. At that moment, this fat cat who usually looked quite silly and cute suddenly burst out with a wave of energy. The aura that was not consistent with its size made Xia Tianhuo, who was over 1.9 meters tall, startled.

However, after seeing clearly that it was him, Egg Yolk Pie's fleshy body leaned down again, his eyebrows lowered, and he dozed off.

And behind it was Jin Shining, half of his body bandaged.

A cat guarding a bird?

…

Downstairs, Xia Libing, who also had a bowl of instant noodles, looked at the two girls who were still energetic and not sleepy at all, and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Little Apple shook her head: "Can't sleep."

Liu Shiling also shook her head: "Me too."

Xia Libing first asked Alice on his mobile phone to make sure that Xia Tianhuo had gone back to the room and went to bed, then contacted Xiang Kun and asked a few words, and then asked Xiao Guoguo and Liu Shiling: "Are you afraid of ants? ?”

"Don't be afraid." Little Apple said.

"Afraid... not afraid!" Liu Shiling said halfway. After hearing Sister Little Apple's answer, she quickly changed her words, swallowed her saliva, and added in a low voice: "If ants don't crawl on me or bite me, I'm not afraid. "

Xia Libing nodded and ordered: "Go put on some more clothes and change your shoes. Let's go out."

Thinking that they were going to determine the whereabouts of the seriously injured Jin Shining monster, Little Apple and Little Fatty were shocked, quickly went upstairs, changed their clothes and shoes and came down.

Then Xia Libing took the two of them out. The rain outside had basically stopped, and the moon peeked out again. With the street lights in the village, it could be seen clearly without using the circuit board.

Xia Libing held the little fat girl in her left hand and the little apple in her right hand. However, she did not go to the edge of the village, near Chongyun Mountain. Instead, she took them to the place she and Xiang Kun rented when they first arrived in Chongyun Village. That yard.

After taking out the key and opening the courtyard door, Xia Libing led the two of them into the courtyard, but did not continue into the house. Instead, he turned on the lights under the porch, walked back and stood directly in the middle of the courtyard, flipping a coin in his hand. , seems to be waiting for something.

After a while, two black things flew up from the tree and the grass nearby, and landed on Xia Libing's arm.

Liu Shiling subconsciously stepped back, but her hands tightly grasped the hem of Xia Libing's clothes, and her round eyes stared at the two dark things in her hands, one large and one small.

"Sister Grilled Chicken Wings, are these... ants?!" The little fat girl's face was filled with a frightened expression of "Sister, I don't study well, don't lie to me."

The big one is bigger and fatter than an AA battery, and has thin wings. It doesn’t look like an ant at all. The other one is smaller, as big as her little finger, also has thin wings, and has a back A looks shiny, with barbs, and looks very ferocious.

As soon as she saw these two "ants", the little fat girl felt hairy all over her body and her scalp was numb. If she hadn't received Xia Libing's promise and explanation before, and there was little sister Apple next to her, she would have run away crying. Or throw out chocolate, ice cream and other five little elf guardians to "protect" you.

Little Apple didn't have much reaction. She held her mobile phone and pointed the camera at the two "ants", tilting her head and thinking.

Alice is using the mobile phone camera, the original camera in the yard, and the hyperconnected objects arranged in the yard to simulate various information from the two "ants" into cognitive information that Little Apple can understand and pass it on to her.

"Sister Bing, are these two ants raised by Uncle Xiang?" Little Apple asked. From the simple phone call between Xia Libing and Xiang Kun just now, she realized that these two ants may also be special beings like Jin Shining Shining. , and has special abilities from Xiang Kun.

Xia Libing nodded: "Yes."

Hearing this answer, Liu Shiling suddenly felt less scared. She even felt that the two big ants were as fat and cute as Egg Yolk Pie and Jin Shining. She couldn't help but stand on tiptoes to take a look.

Xia Libing put the larger ant into Little Apple's palm and said, "This is Zero Zero Two, the queen ant."

He put the smaller ant on the little fat girl's arm through her clothes and said, "This is Zero Zero One, a worker ant."

"Ah, does it have a bell in its name like mine?"

"It's zero from zero eggs."

"oh."

Liu Shiling gently touched the "001" on her arm with her finger. The front antennae and two translucent tentacles of the big ant touched her finger. She tilted her head and rubbed her with the back of her body. Fingernails.

Liu Shiling felt that the big ant was close to her, and she no longer had any worries or fears. She started teasing the ant and murmured: "Ling Ling Yi, you are Ling Yi, I am Shi Ling, I am Si Ling, So I am older than you... forty minus one is equal to... equal to... ten minus one is nine, four minus one is three... thirty-nine, I am thirty-nine older than you, you have to call me big sister ."

"Little bell, ants don't know how to chirp." Little Apple said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, I'll teach it." Liu Shiling said.

Xia Libing let them play with ants in the yard, while she opened the door and entered the house. After a while, she came out carrying two special boxes.

Put the box in the yard, open the special lid on it, and immediately see a swarm of black ants inside, flapping their wings and flying up.

Although these flying ants are far smaller than Zero Zero One and Zero Zero Two in size, they are still one size larger than ordinary ants. At first glance, the scene is indeed quite scary.

Liu Shiling was startled and subconsciously wanted to hide, but then she thought that these were probably the pets of her bald uncle, so she put on a hood, shrank her neck, and watched carefully.

Fortunately, after these flying ants scattered in all directions, they quickly gathered on top of Lao Xia's head and were not around Little Fat Girl or Little Apple.

Xia Libing took out two palm-sized small cloth bags from his coat pocket and handed them to Little Fat Girl and Little Apple respectively: "Give these to the flying ants and let them take them into the mountains to search for the ones that were just struck by thunder." Help Alice find the 'monster' that escaped."

Upon hearing this, Little Fat Girl and Little Apple immediately cheered up and began to carefully pour out the tungsten steel balls from the small bag, spread them on the palms of their hands, and then let the flying ants come over and use their front feet and front jaws to pick up the tungsten steel balls. The tungsten steel ball is placed in the mouthparts, flaps its wings and flies away.

When the ants crawled on the palm, it felt numb and itchy, which made Little Apple laugh out loud. The haze when Jin Shining was injured suddenly seemed to have been swept away.

The little chubby girl put her hand into the bag, took it out, covered one finger with dense tungsten steel balls, and said to Lao Xia: "Sister, grilled chicken wings, look at it!"

The tungsten steel ball covering her index finger flowed on the surface of her skin like water.

"I know, these are the magic beads used by Alice!" Liu Shiling said happily. She was controlled by induction through the five coins on her body. Although it was separated by one layer, this low-complexity control was still very convenient. Easy, after all, these balls are too small and light.

After sending more than two hundred flying ants and asking Zero Zero One and Zero Zero Two to lead them into the mountain, Xia Libing took the two boxes back to the house, locked the courtyard door, and took Little Fat Girl and Little Apple home. .

After returning home, he went to the bedroom and changed his clothes and slippers. Little Fat Girl and Little Apple sat side by side at the end of the bed. Xia Libing put his laptop on the table in front of the end of the bed.

Alice called up an electronic map on the display screen, and then marked the locations of more than two hundred ants carrying hyperconnected objects with dots.

It can be seen that more than two hundred small dots are moving outward in an orderly manner at the edge of Chongyun Village, like an attacking army.

With more than two hundred hyperconnected objects, Alice has a "mobile version of Chongyun Village" that can detect and detect in a short time. In other words, relying on these ants, she has forcibly extended the scope of Chongyun Village. .

Through this method, Alice can clearly determine whether there are "mutated creatures" within the coverage area, and analyze the relevant super-sensory information to determine whether the "mutated creatures" have been struck to death by lightning and wiped out.

In fact, arranging Zero Zero One, Zero Zero Two, and those second-level derivative ant colonies to carry the super-connected ball beads to the mountains does not require Lao Xia, Little Apple, or Little Fat Girl to operate it, but Xiang Kun in the "Super Link" The remote processing is completed in "feeling state".

Although Zero Zero One and Zero Zero Two have also entered the "super-sensory object system", their understanding and IQ are far from comparable to Egg Yolk Pie and Jin Shining. If they are separated by one layer, whether it is Lao Xia, Little Apple, or It is difficult for a little fat girl to issue precise orders to the secondary derivative ant colony through them.

But Xia Libing still took Little Apple and Little Fat Girl to complete this seemingly unnecessary step in person, because she knew that these two girls were really "uneasy" tonight because of Jin Shining's injury.

Although they joined forces to beat the "weird big bird" through the black monster made of condensed gravel, and Jin Shining's injuries were treated remotely by Xiang Kun, after all, they stayed in the room and experienced the whole process. It was still difficult to find out whether the "weird big bird" was dead or escaped, and until there was a complete result.

And Xia Libing couldn't take the risk of taking them into the mountains to search, so he could only let them preside over the "distribution" of super-connected objects to the ant army, so that they could have a real sense of participation in the search.

When the little dots representing ants on the computer screen reached the location where the little fat girl had struck five lightning strikes, Alice appeared in the room, pointing with a scalpel on the laptop screen.

"Zero Zero One is this little dot. He led the first legion of one hundred and thirty ants to the first mine pit. According to my induction, the insect was not electrocuted here. The second legion was led by Zero Zero Two. It first went to the second mine pit to check." Alice appeared, sitting cross-legged on the table, narrating the specific investigation situation in her notebook sideways, and very playfully divided the "army" of ants into "legions" ".

The little fat girl was very interested in this novel way of exploration. She stared at the screen closely, her eyes shining brightly, as if she was a commander-in-chief, watching the actions of thousands of troops.

Little Apple also used the cognitive information directly simulated by Alice to explore the mountainous area, even more intuitively than Little Fat Girl.
