Chapter 20
In the town where Phoebe is living, the number of people missing here increases, although all have increased their vigilance, and built strong barricades, they also put aside their evening jobs to return home. home. People's psychology is extremely scared and confused, they are afraid that they will die, afraid of the apocalypse of mankind. The people are helpless in front of the things in front of them, even if they are strong and healthy men, but facing a Vampire, they are just ants that are easily crushed to death at any time.
Although they tried very hard to build a barrier to protect the house, people were too scared, so after returning from work before sunset, they would gather at someone's house, thinking that the more people there were, the more likely they were to survive. will be higher. But all efforts are zero, no matter what they do, every morning when they wake up there will be one or two corpses, and the condition of those corpses is the same as the body of the first woman they met. see.
Things started to become more serious, Phoebe's brothers and sisters both knew Phoebe couldn't hide them and said it was simply a movie. Ron was a very smart kid, he was also the first of the five children to realize that something serious was going on at this time, and maybe the smell of corpses and blood was so strong that he couldn't help but be curious.
Phoebe also did not want to hide them, she told them everything and reminded them that if they want to live, they are not allowed to leave the house even during the day or at night, no matter who knocks on the door, they are not allowed to enter.
“Listen, you guys absolutely must stay at home, don't leave the house, even if humans come, don't open the door, we can die at any time, we can be arrested at any time. Ron, you have to protect and remind the other four."
The children innocently looked at Phoebe, they were very obedient but just obeying was not enough, as Phoebe said earlier death could come at any time. Although Phoebe, Ron, Emily, and Mina are all Vampires, in front of another Vampire, they are no different from small and weak humans and will also be killed by the Vampires out there.
Mina whimpered and cried, she said: "Then we will be killed by other Vampires, humanity will become extinct, the people here are all good people why do Vampires slaughter them like that? "
Faced with the innocent and pitiful questions of the children Phoebe did not know how to explain, she did not want them to witness those nauseated corpses, those horrible things would haunt their psyche. Phoebe pats Mina and the other children on the head, she said:
"Don't cry, it's true we can die but not now, it's a pity for the lives that were harmed and had a painful death but we have to continue to persevere in life and make every effort to live, do you remember this?”
The five children said in unison, “Remember!” but Phoebe could see their limbs shaking with fear, their faces white and blue, tears of fear rolling down their faces. Now no one is not afraid, Phoebe is also very scared, she just wants to hide in the blanket and forget all that is happening but she can't be that cowardly.
The tragic deaths more and more and more terrible in the town made the people extremely terrified, now there are dead people everywhere, and the smell of carrion fills the streets. At first, the people in the town also brought those bodies to be burned and expressed their grief for those who were killed, but when there were too many dead people, the survivors were too afraid to go out so there was no one to clean up. corpses and so on the strong and disgusting stench of corpses filled the streets.
The government can do nothing but make meaningless promises, they have not found a way to solve and prevent these horrors. Food gradually runs out, cannot be produced, can't be supplied, can't be helped...
While humanity is desperate, too tired, and helpless to sink in the pain of losing loved ones, family, and friends... suddenly there is A guild of vampire hunters claiming to be descendants of previous generations of hunters, they claim to be able to solve these problems. Although it was unbelievable that these hunters could kill vampires while the army couldn't. The question many people ask is why are they just now coming to the rescue, why not participate in stopping the Vampire riots in the first place?
But those questions were left unanswered, the Hunters Guild didn't work for the government they were human but they weren't on the same side as the humans, they worked freely and only listened to their Leader. Vampire hunters were not obedient or obligated to tell anyone about their actions.
They are mysterious and scary people, the government does not dare to touch them. Whether or not they could kill the Vampires and stop the mad riot, the humans were forced to believe now. The Hunters Guild is the straw that can save their lives, and save humanity.
Because of the lack of manpower, while the number of Vampires was too much, humans and werewolves were formerly number two, but the riot caused a lot of human deaths from which the population dropped unexpectedly.
The Hunter's Guild appealed to young people regardless of male or female, and of course, if they joined their hunter club, they would be rewarded, have a place to eat and sleep, and don't have to worry about food. With the current shortage, of course, many people have signed up to join because they have food and can provide for their families.
Phoebe also signed up to join, although she did not trust the self-proclaimed hunters, if they help her brother and sister to be safe, she will join, although with the money left by her mother and A little bit of money she accumulated from work, but it was difficult to exchange for food because the food was rarer than gold.
The Hunters Guild formed a large organization called HDR; The base of the Hunters Guild was also huge, possibly half a city. They divided zones according to different positions, the leader and the pillar hunters carrying the mission of humanity will be in the center of the base, then the hunters of low rank will be circled outside. Moreover, further away are the newly joined recruits, the relatives of the recruits are also located in the base but are the gathering place and close to the outside of the base.
Despite their displeasure with this arrangement, the rookies could not do anything about it. Because those with no combat ability should be placed in the safest locations.
Some people have suggested that people with no combat ability should live near the center to ensure safety.
The pink-haired guy said to a Vampire hunter: “Why should the incompetent be in such a place, you should have arranged our relatives in the center of the base. Well, are you guys hunters, or do you just want to take advantage of the murky water to fish.”
The hunter with a serious expressionless face said: "Rookies like you have no right to speak, if you want to survive, keep your mouth shut and obey your superiors."
The pink-haired guy along with many people was very annoyed by the hunter's words, they suspected that this HDR organization was not capable of protecting them from the vampires out there. The other rookies all agreed with the pink-haired guy's opinion, the guy who was supported by the others even more fiercely spoke to the hunter.
But without two more sentences, he was killed on the spot by a hunter with a scarred face. He warned all the rookies not to talk too much because they had no right to speak up.
“You all have no right to speak in this place, you and your family are not allowed to speak. If you want to claim benefits, get out of the organization's base. If someone is like the "brave" person just now, the result will be death and your loved ones must also leave the base and self-destruct."
After listening to the other hunter's warning, all the recruits and Phoebe were sweating from fear, she was very worried about her brother and sister because where they were on the base but also very worried. dangerous, but she had to trust that they could protect themselves even though this was hard to believe.
