Chapter 263 The Rainy Night

The woman is on the brink of giving birth at any moment. She is pounding furiously on her belly. Two pale European girls come downstairs to the basement. Liu Mei recognizes the blue eyes.

Seeing that she is pounding her belly madly, the female vampire sneers, grabbing her hand. “So this is what human is like. What kind of mother you are to cruelly kill your own baby?” The wrist of the woman becomes scarlet because of the tight grip. She did everything she can to get rid of her hand, yet the contraction makes her powerless, her hair soaked wet in sweat. “Monsters… I don't want to give birth to a monster…”

Another female vampire with long flaxen hair covers her mouth and smiles. “It's not your choice to make.”

She holds a tray, on which are several needles with liquid mixed with red lines, shining peculiar light under the incandescent lights of the basement.

“Alice, keep an eye on the incubation. I'll do the injection to the newcomers.” The woman with flaxen hair may not be able to speak the language of Huaxia because she's been speaking a foreign language with old-school grammar. Liu Mei thought she misheard the word “incubation” at the beginning.

However, she sees the foreign girl come near with the tray and immediately realizes that she is one of the “newcomers” they just talked about. Injection? What are they injecting to her? Is this place the basement for biotechnology research in the movies? That's why these women said she was to give birth to a monster? Liu Mei puts her hands on her belly and retreats back. She cannot let them hurt her baby!

The room in the basement is limited, and several pregnant women were here. As a result, Liu Mei retreats for only a few steps before she invades another woman's place. Those women are shivering. Her impending steps only make them feel even more threatened. The female with flaxen hair already has her hand on a needle skillfully, eyes sweeping all over the place and focusing on Liu Mei at last.

As soon as she moves her legs, Liu Mei falls into complete desperation.

At this very juncture, the woman who has been contracting for half an hour gives birth to a child successfully.

On hearing a faint cry from the baby, the woman stops and turns around. “What is it that comes out of her belly?”

Liu Mei is coddling herself in a corner, thinking to herself shockingly, “Isn't she supposed to ask it is a boy or a girl? Why would she ask what comes out of the belly… That woman did give birth to a monster?”

Blue-eyed Alice seems to be disappointed. “Come and see for yourself.”

She does as asked, putting down the tray. Liu Mei feels she grabs the slightest hope and cannot help but looking in the direction of the woman giving birth. The baby is wrinkled with blood and covered with dirty stuff. Liu Mei sees its head first and lets out a sigh. Although it is small and full of wrinkles, it is a normal baby. How can these people call a normal baby a monster?

“It failed again…” Alice takes the baby to the flaxen-haired woman. As she turns around, Liu Mei finally has her eyes on the baby—under the normal head is a distorted body with no hands and feet. Instead, it has claws in their places. And the dark things. Are they wings?!

Good heavens! This new-born baby has under its head… the shape of a bat!

Liu Mei feels like being dumped into a freezing swamp. She shivers, feeling cold all over her body.

These people are taking pregnant women as experimental subjects. What Alice said means it has failed—which means the successful one is a whole bat? Tremendous fear winds her like seagrass. Her heart is telling her to run from reality and pass out, yet nature goes against her by keeping her very sober… Will I give birth to such a monster?

Alice takes the distorted baby out while the long-haired woman wipes the blood on her hands and takes up the tray again, leaving the woman who just gave birth there as if her mission is accomplished and she is of no use.

Liu Mei feels her heart pounding fiercely again.

She has already felt the coldness of the needle. The long-haired woman is approaching… Who can save me? Where is my husband? Please come and get me. As outgoing and straightforward as Liu Mei is, she cannot help crying. Her wrist is grabbed by somebody. Extremely terrified, she uses up all her strength to defend herself. The door of the basement is open again!

“Wait!” That Alice! She's back again! At this moment, Liu Mei is almost grateful for that.

The baby in her hands is gone and Alice runs in with anxiety. Seeing the injection is not done yet, she is relieved. “Miss Crystal said these batch of needles must be remade. We'll leave the new ones alone for the time being.”

Did I just get away with this? Liu Mei is still out of her mind. Seeing the long-haired woman leave with the tray and the basement door closed, she finally let loose of herself a little.

The basement is a mess and Liu Mei is all soaked in sweat. It is already late autumn. She will catch a cold in those wet clothes. Liu Mei wants to get some air, so she moves to the wall, which has a ventilation opening near the ground. She feels some dew drops on her face. Is it raining outside?

She hears raindrops splattering on the ground.

Would this be the last rain before winter? Face against the wall, she thinks to herself. These foreigners seem to be perfectly organized. Maybe she's in the middle of nowhere. Will she be rescued?

The rain is trickling on the Tianfu Square at night with nobody around.

The dawn is near, which is the time when people are the most sleepy and tired in a day. Only the by-passing taxi drivers curiously notice the group of people in the rain. Is it some group training for some company?

They cannot possibly know that the cultivators who are mostly mysterious to ordinary people show up in groups here and now.

Raindrops come down from the sky and merge in puddles, brushing the ground in the square. Xiao Xiaomu is not aware of the coldness at all. He is holding a tray with many porcelain bottles to be given out to the people as Master Lin instructed.

Hundreds of cultivators at the level of Training Qi stare at him and then Lin Luoran in the front. Her shape is outlined by dim light, keeping raindrops three feet away from her. “Every porcelain bottle contains three Replenishing Qi Boluses, which should be enough for today.”

Master Lin is giving out elixir to them? A lot of the cultivators are surprised by this. Killing rebels from foreign groups are how they are educated since childhood, which comes natural to them. Now Lin Luoran is going to give them elixir to them? That is indeed a surprise, considering that all of Master Lin's elixirs are of high value.

Eyes sweeping the cultivators, Lin Luoran finds that the most experienced cultivators are Wen Guanjing and herself. Others are to tackle the scattered vampires. The rain pours for a day. Rumor has it that the Blood Lines are not fond of the muddy rainy night. Lin Luoran bets most of them are staying in the Textile School. She needs to solve this before tomorrow night.

It surprises her that Wen Guanjing came out of his cell so soon. He has already completed the level of Training Qi again and can go to the Textile School tonight with her.

What the least expected for her is—An, the discarded apprentice from Qingcheng Taoist Temple whom she has not seen for a long time. As he is now an individual cultivator, she has no reason to object to his participation.

There are some old friends among the cultivators, who are from the same team in the secret land. Although shares a special bond with Qu Yi, Li Xi'er is against him. But Qu Yi seems to be a little bit guilty? It's all about he didn't stick to the end. Therefore, Lin Luoran is not in the proper position to blame him.

“Xi'er, you and Qu Yi lead two teams separately with five cultivators in the early stage of Training Qi. You go to those locations Xiao Xiaomu collected where the vampires are most active and kill those who are left!”

“Yes, master!”

The two of them respond at the same time and select five cultivators they are familiar with.

“Those who are in the middle stage of Training Qi, three steps ahead.” Lin Luoran calms her mind and deploys the cultivators. It is the first time that she has led so many cultivators. There is no doubt that she is nervous and careful. But as she is the most experienced, if she is not confident enough, the rest of them will be totally at a loss.

From hundreds of people, only around twenty cultivators are in the middle stage of Training Qi. Lin Luoran cast her eyes on Wen Guanjing and responded by a nod. She is more confident about her deployment and speaks loudly. “The twenty of you go in with us. The rest of you in the early stage of Training Qi go in threes. Under no circumstances can you leave your teammates. You need to help each other! Thirty of you stay out of the wall. If you spot any Blood Line escapes from here, kill them. ”

Lin Luoran's arrangement is perfectly reasonable. The cultivators have no objection. Liu Zheng smiles bitterly, hand on his nose. He is still an inexperienced cultivator. He figures he will only wait here or go with others who have not found teammates, which is far from being the partner of Lin Luoran. From this point of you, he is really envious of Wen Guanjing.

Xiao Xiaomu asks boldly, “Master, shall we start at this instant?”

Lin Luoran laughs, “Of course we need to eat before we act. As your master, I'm not that mean.”

The door of a van parking at the square opens. Fatty Cui comes out with his shaky belly and calls out on those in the van. “Come on. Come on, girls. Come out now.” His disgusting voice makes those who focus completely on cultivation imagine something indecent. Good heavens! Is Master Lin giving out—girls? This is so inappropriate!

They cast their eyes to the car and see the young, beautiful girls coming out from the van. Of course, they are not in the way they imagined. They are holding something in their hands. The rain is lighter and the sun is revealing from the clouds. What they are holding are fruits, wine and… hot barbecue? What kind of combination is that?

A cultivator takes a peach and is completely shocked by its delicious taste. There is Reiki in it. Good heavens! Am I seeing this wrong?

The wine contains Reiki too. Only the roast barbecue is ordinary but with good taste. Master Lin, this is indeed an extravagant meal!
