He was only eleven or twelve years old, and his clothes were exquisitely crafted and gorgeous, and he seemed to be from an aristocratic family in the city.
The young man turned his head to look at Qianye with a look of astonishment.
When the boy ran into the field of vision, Qianye had already aimed at his head.
Although the gunpowder firearms are not as good as the original force firearms, three consecutive shots at such a close range can still severely injure the blood race. However, Qianye felt that the trigger was extremely heavy, and he couldn't pull it down for a while.
This should be a normal person... Qianye couldn't help thinking this way.
In the face of a normal, unarmed teenager, is it necessary to shoot him without asking a word? Although this is an order.
The boy suddenly stretched out his hands to Qianye, as if he wanted to seek shelter. His left cheek was a little dirty, and there were some blood stains from nowhere. In a chaotic battlefield, such a situation is very common.
Qianye's fingers loosened a little, the muzzle of the gun slightly pressed down, and the sight left the boy's forehead.
At this moment, the boy suddenly rushed towards Qianye with his body, his movements were so agile that he didn't look like a human being at all! He opened his mouth wide, with an abnormal amount of saliva flowing between his teeth, his eyes fixed on the arteries in Qianye's neck, his eyes were instantly bloodshot, and even began to glow red, looking extremely ferocious!
The muzzle of Qianye's gun was instantly raised, aiming at the boy's forehead again. The flow of time seemed to slow down at this moment, and Qianye's finger on the trigger slowly pressed back.
Suddenly a big foot flew out from the side, kicking the boy flying horizontally, hitting the wall dozens of meters away! With a muffled sound, the young man was stuck to the wall, his muscles and bones were broken, and then he slid to the ground, leaving a thick bloody mark.
"Rookie! What's the matter with you?" The captain of the Red Scorpion came out of the alley next to him, stared at Qianye and asked sternly.
"No, it's nothing, I just... want to see what it can do." Qianye said with a guilty conscience.
"That's a blood slave! They only have the instincts of beasts, no special abilities, don't worry about it. Kid, put away your studious or curiosity, these things are more dangerous than you can imagine! If you are killed by them Bite, let their saliva enter the blood, then it is best to kill yourself immediately, lest I personally bomb your head with bullets!"
Captain Red Scorpion's stern voice indicated that he was definitely not joking.
Qianye agreed, and then continued to search forward. Along the way, he killed a dozen blood slaves and a vampire in hiding. These blood slaves have not been transformed for a long time, and they basically look like human beings, and the clothes on many blood slaves are still clean.
But all the blood slaves are like wild beasts, and they will attack Qianye crazily when they see Qianye. Their desire for flesh and blood has already overwhelmed all rationality. Among the blood slaves were old people, young women, and even three or four-year-old children. But whatever they were, they were now utterly mindless beasts.
While shooting and killing, Qianye silently counted the number in his heart, as if he could distract his attention from thinking about whether there were any human survivors on the other side.
Blood slaves are the product of blood sucked by vampires, or simply bitten. Unlike the First Embrace, because there is no return of blood essence from the blood clan, the blood slave will not become a new blood clan.
The sanity of the blood slave will be eroded by the blood poison of the vampire, turning into a half-blood, half-beast monster. After that, the instinctive desire for flesh and blood, as well as the fear and obedience to the real blood race will be the whole of their life.
So far, human beings are still helpless against the blood poison of the vampires. After a human being is bitten by a vampire, his brain will be completely destroyed by the blood poison within a day or two. This is the root cause of losing his sanity and becoming a blood slave. This transformation process is irreversible, and even the vampires themselves cannot recover.
Worst of all, blood slaves are also blood poisoned, even more violent than real blood. People who are bitten by blood slaves will basically become blood slaves. So it has only been a few days since the fall of this small city, and there are already countless blood slaves in it.
On the side of the dark race, blood slaves are also the lowest-level creatures, not even cannon fodder. They don't live long at all, so they will be used as food for the lower dark races, and sometimes used to raise war beasts.
Whether it is Liming or Yongye, the fate of the blood slave is extremely tragic, and it cannot be changed, and it is irreversible.
The Great Qin Empire, and other human countries have surprisingly consistent attitudes toward blood slaves: all blood slaves, or those who have been contaminated by blood poison, will be executed.
Therefore, among the dark races, although the blood race is not the most powerful and the number is not the largest, they have always been regarded as the greatest enemy by human beings. That's why. This is the relationship between food and predators, like a natural enemy.
The battle in the small town soon came to an end, all the vampires and blood slaves were cleaned up, corpses were everywhere in the whole city, and blood was flowing on the streets. Qianye's military boots made a crackling sound when they stepped on the bloody water.
"Listen, everyone in the city, come out and gather at the central square! You have ten minutes, repeat, you have ten minutes. Those who don't reach the central square before the deadline will all be regarded as blood slaves, search Immediately after leaving!"
A huge sound came from the loudspeaker of the tank, constantly echoing over the small town. A few minutes later, some people walked out of the house tremblingly and gathered towards the central square.
Qianye was walking along the street when he was suddenly stopped by a Black Scorpion veteran.
"Rookie, come with me, it's time for class!"
Attend class? Qianye was puzzled, turned around, and followed the veteran towards the central square.
Hundreds of people have gathered in the central square, and they are anxious. However, judging from their expressions, they obviously still maintained their own sanity. Some of them had wounds on their bodies, and they carefully covered up the wounds on their bodies. But even Qianye couldn't hide this, let alone those veterans of the Red Scorpion Legion.
The soldiers of the Red Scorpion Legion and all the rookies appeared around the square, blocking the passages in all directions.
The veteran who brought Qianye turned his head and said, "As soon as anyone wants to run away, shoot them in the head! Do you understand?"
"clear!"
At this time, a Red Scorpion captain said to the commander of the local army who was in charge of the operation: "Let your people search the city now, and don't let go of any corners! You have... twenty minutes!"
The division commander was taken aback by the 20-minute time limit, but immediately ran away like a rabbit, and at the same time called out to his team to search the entire city as quickly as possible.
After a while, there were sporadic gunshots and occasional screams in the city. Some people hid at home and did not come out. Once they were found, they would be executed immediately and on the spot.
Twenty minutes seemed extraordinarily long, and the city gradually quieted down, with no more gunshots or screams.
At this moment, a Red Scorpion captain raised his right hand, pointed at the center of the square, and then swiped horizontally, cutting his throat!
Qianye's heart trembled immediately, this is an order to kill!
Qianye picked up the gun expressionlessly, but did not pull the trigger. Not only Qianye, but many rookies' faces became very ugly, while the veterans of the Black Scorpion level all scanned these people in the square with indifferent or even cold eyes.
They are all normal people!
Qianye and many rookies think so.
"Captain! They don't look like blood slaves!" Finally a rookie called out.
Captain Red Scorpion said coldly: "There are a few blood slaves inside. The others are not sure. They may be polluters, or they may not be. The procedural way to deal with them is to throw all these people into a special black mine. , Let them dig until they die! But this time we don’t have the time, and there is no specially established black mine near here. So direct execution is the best way, do you understand, rookie?”
The rookie shook his head vigorously, pointed at a few normal people, and said loudly, "They have no injuries at all! How could they be blood slaves!"
Captain Red Scorpion said: "Blood poison is not only transmitted through blood, as long as there is deep contact, there is a possibility of being infected. Although this possibility is not high, we can't take this risk. If it is not controlled, there will be another Given enough time, a blood slave can destroy a city! I can't take this responsibility, and I don't think you can afford it even more, rookie! Well, as the price for you to question my order in public, you will be punished after closing the team. Ten days of confinement, and then temporarily cancel the membership of the Red Scorpion Legion, and wait until you kill a hundred blood slaves with your own hands!"
The rookie's face turned pale immediately.
This punishment is basically equivalent to kicking him out of the Red Scorpion Legion. Even if he returns to the team, he may not be taken seriously in the future. The number of red scorpions is fixed and very valuable. Once his spot is vacated, many families will be eyeing this position.
Captain Red Scorpion glanced at all the rookies, his voice became extremely severe, and he shouted loudly: "Rookies! This is war! This is a war that has lasted for thousands of years! There is only a life-and-death war between us and those dark bastards. Any compromise is a betrayal of your comrades! So put away your ridiculous sympathy and obey orders. Kill all enemies in sight, this is the fate of the imperial soldiers! Now, rookies, raise your guns, shooting!"
All the rookie's guns were spewing flames, and Qianye subconsciously pulled the trigger. His muscles were a little stiff, and the impact of the gunpowder made the automatic rifle jump in his hand continuously, and metal bullets spewed out from the muzzle, tearing apart and smashing the human body on the opposite side.
In the blink of an eye, the magazine that could hold eighty rounds was empty. Qianye replaced the magazine with a new magazine with mechanical and skilled movements, and then continued to shoot. When all the rookies had emptied two magazines, there was no one standing in the square.
After the gunfire stopped for a while, the division commander of the local army trotted over. Looking at the scene in the square, the fat on his cheeks couldn't help but twitch a few times, and the cold sweat rolled down. He leaned in front of Captain Red Scorpion and asked in a low voice for instructions on what to do next.
"There are still many people hiding in this city. Some of your soldiers seemed to turn a blind eye to them just now."
Captain Red Scorpion's words made the division commander of the local army break out in a cold sweat, and said quickly, "Give me another twenty minutes, no! Ten minutes! I will dig out the last person here! I promise!"
Captain Red Scorpion looked at the blood flowing on the ground, shook his head, and said, "No need. This city has been completely polluted and can no longer be lived in. So, I will burn it."
"Burn... burn it?" The teacher was stunned on the spot. Even a small city with a small scale is still a considerable wealth, and it just burned like this
Captain Red Scorpion nodded, and said meaningfully: "Yes, burn it! This is the consequence of getting involved with the blood clan!"
The teacher broke out in cold sweat again, nodded and bowed repeatedly: "Yes, I understand! Burn it, burn it immediately!"
The troop truck roared and slowly left the battlefield.
Qianye looked back, seeing flames soaring into the sky, and the sound of explosions that hadn't completely subsided in his ears. The small town has been engulfed in flames, and it won't be long before it will become ruins and history. A city that was completely burned like this is not uncommon in the history of the empire.
Qianye was patted on the shoulder, he turned his head and saw a veteran sitting beside him.
