The vampire felt his wet socks rubbing against his leather shoes. With each step, Zach shook his head helplessly and continued to go up against the flow of people.
The spiral staircase was already crowded with people, including medical staff and patients wearing only thin light-colored cloths. However, their clothes were not clean. Gray and black marks were smeared on their clothes. Some people's His face was still covered in smoke and dust.
Zach was leaning against the wall, leaning on his side, buried on the spiral staircase full of piles. A passage was squeezed out in a very small gap and moved upward quickly.
Well, not much faster. With the supernatural ability of a vampire, he was just walking upstairs at the normal speed of an ordinary person. He had just passed the second floor with black smoke and moved to the third floor.
The fire alarm continued, and the desperate voice kept repeating over and over again, "This is not a drill..." I don't know which genius recorded it. It had no calming effect at all, but instead made the crowd More panic.
Zack had to stop moving from time to time and pull up the fallen people around him, so as not to cause any tragic accident and make the vampire forget his purpose for a moment. In line with the principle of not wasting food, he enjoyed the food without emotion...
Zach's purpose is no longer what Henuo said. With everyone trying to leave here, it would be ridiculous if he still wanted to honestly verify the list and find the people bribed by Smith.
At this time, wouldn't it be better to get rid of Neil and Daphne!
Zach's eyes kept scanning the crowd moving down above, and the faces of people who were still rushing out of the door to join the crowd.
'This situation is quite convenient', Zack thought with his mouth curled up. But please don't align yourself with the vampire's thoughts. Let us pray seriously, 'May whoever it is be blessing this world. Please don't let any innocent people get hurt or die in this inexplicable fire! '
A familiar smiling face flashed across the vampire's field of vision. No, there are three, and there is only one smiling face.
Zach swept his gaze across the crowd, retraced his steps, and stopped at the faces of two people. Neil held the panicked Delphine tightly. Being squeezed into the crowd, their faces were covered with black smoke marks, but Zach still recognized these two people.
Diagonally above them, behind the door on the third floor, the bright red firelight faded and appeared in the thick black smoke. Zach didn't see which floor the fire started from, but seeing Daphne tightening her body in fear and coughing violently, Zach knew. Except for the first floor where he and the male nurse were before, the situation on other floors was very bad.
Zach's eyes had to be drawn to the guys in front of these two main targets. Although it was also blackened, that smile was so distinctive!
In Zach's boring prank game, the silly guy who disappeared is now grinning at Zach! The other person's thin body tried his best to raise his arm in the crowded crowd and waved towards Zach.
Zach raised his eyebrows. Was the other person's gesture letting him pass
Zach left the wall he was leaning against and leaned toward the three of them on the stairs.
No more support from walls. Even vampires have to be controlled by human beings. His approach was very slow. Just when Zach was about to lose his patience, the flow of people stopped in an instant!
Zach looked up. In the courtyard filled with billowing smoke and dust, there was an ink-black thing that was completely different from the surroundings. Countless hair-like black threads densely emanated from the ink-black, and they were tightly immersed. Everyone on the spiral staircase. 'Stitch' all their vitality!
Zach's eyes narrowed, Seth was fighting hard enough.
The vampire wasted no more time, and his figure turned into an afterimage among the stagnant crowd. Seth can't hold on to such a large-scale control for long!
Zach put his arms around Neil and Daphne, and after a moment of hesitation, he made a decision! Zach doesn't hold anything back. Pushed by their arms, the young couples on the left and right closed together in the middle, clamping the thin guy. With their arms strong, the three bodies rushed up to the patio vertically!
The flow of people below began to move again, and it only lasted for a second. They could not tell whether the sudden increase in heartbeat and breathing was caused by the adrenaline of being at the fire scene, or by being controlled by the devil for a moment.
And the three places that were suddenly vacant among them were filled instantly. Zach glanced above. Something dark ink pulled at the exposed leg of someone who didn't know who it was, and completely disappeared to the side of the patio. The vampire's actions were once again controlled by the flow of people. Zach twitched his lips and followed the crowd.
As soon as he left the nursing home, Zach's body was pulled aside by a strong guy, "Damn it! Where have you been!"
Zach looked at the male nurse in front of him and said aggrievedly, "I was pushed away."
The male nurse stared at Zach, not knowing what to say, and pushed him away angrily, "Your visit can't continue today! Leave now!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, grabbed the male nurse who was in a hurry to play with the crowd in the nursing home, and looked down, "What should I do next?" Zach was referring to the intensive care area where Pochi was.
The male nurse shook Zach's hand away and said, "You don't have to worry about it!"
Zach curled his lips. It turned out that it was not that the other party's professional ethics was good enough, but that no matter what the matter was, he was unwilling to answer.
Zach took a few steps back and looked at the entire building. It was still very stable. He didn't even worry that the entire sanatorium would collapse. It was impossible for the fire to go down, so Bochi had nothing to worry about. Based on the environment he was in, he probably wouldn't even know what was happening above.
People kept pouring out from the main entrance, patients and staff. Zach complained that the design of the entire nursing home was extremely unreasonable. There was not even a fire escape. He slowly squeezed into the reception room again and stood in front of the male nurse. With his eyes fixed on his face, he took back the things he had left little by little, such as watches, wallets, belts...
After Zach finished tidying up, he walked down the stone steps outside the main entrance of the nursing home among a bunch of frightened and worried people. Standing in the courtyard full of people, 'Seth' was lying on the steering wheel of an old car, looking like he was sound asleep.
Zach opened the door and frowned. There was only one container here, and Seth hadn't found any space to come down from the roof.
Zach pushed 'Seth' and moved him to the passenger seat, then got into the driver's seat and started the car.
Someone started tapping on the hood of Zach's car. They were people wearing hospital gowns. Some people even tried to open the roof of the car and jump in. Zach raised his eyebrows, this was convenient, it shouldn't be surprising that one or two people escaped.
Zach honked the horn to remind the staff to take care of their patients. Watching a road clear in front of his car, Zach started the car and drove out of the nursing home.
After a half-circle around the front yard wall, the old-fashioned car was blocked by the shadow of the lush trees and parked behind the nursing home. Zach stopped the car, stared at the tree canopy blocking the sun, and held out his hand.
Amidst the crashing noise, two things leaked out of the shadow of the tree. Zach caught two people on the left and right, Neil and Daphne, but their eyes were closed, probably because they were knocked unconscious by Seth.
Zach stuffed the two of them into the back seat, stretched out his hand again, and with a splash, a thin man fell out. When he fell into Zach's arms, the familiar silly smile reappeared.
"I set the fire!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, now was not the time to investigate this guy's motives.
The rich inky blackness fell with the sunlight leaking through the shadows of the trees, directly entering the sleeping body of 'Seth', the co-pilot.
Zach put down 'Arsonist' and gave a smile, "Sit in the back."
The thin guy happily pushed the two sleeping people away and reached the back seat.
Zach watched Seth raise his head, and the dark eyes condensed into pupils. He also sat in the driver's seat for a while. When he started the car again, he turned to the man who excitedly put his face in the middle of the seat and asked, "Name ?”
"Philip! You can call me Lip!"
As the car drove out of the woods surrounding the nursing home, Zach looked back. Thick black smoke was still coming from the surroundings and the patio, and there were already fire trucks blaring in the distance.
"Zachary Grande." Zach smiled, "You can call me Zach."
"I know you!" Lip shouted excitedly, "Zach! Zach and Madison! Vampires and humans! The only ones left in the chaos..."
As if he realized that he had said too much, Lip retracted his body from between the seats and squeezed into the corner of the back seat, pressing his lips tightly.
Zach's eyebrows furrowed when the other party said 'Zach and Madison'. How could the vampire's name be put together with that useless low-level alien? !
Zach glanced at Seth.
Unfortunately, Seth is not Benjamin, and he has little chemistry with vampires. Seth frowned as he looked at the fire trucks passing by outside the car window.
The fire exceeded everyone's expectations. Even Zach, all he wanted to do was use the fire alarm to cause temporary chaos.
It seems necessary to clear up at least this layer of confusion. Zach chose to ignore Lip's previous words and asked in a questioning tone, "Why set the fire?"
"I..." the guy in the back seat began to stutter, "I, I can't say! I have already said too much!"
Zach's eyes turned red and he turned his head, "Why did you set the fire?"
But Lip seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He closed his eyes tightly, his legs were hugged by his chest, and his head was tilted against the car window, "I will not be caught by your charming eyes!"
Zach frowned.
"Don't ask me! I can't say anything! Anyway, you got Neil and Daphne! Go to Nuo! Complete the commission of that annoying guy Quest! Then deal with those hunters!"
Even though he no longer had a tacit understanding with Zach, Seth looked away from the window at this time. Like Zach, he turned to the back seat and looked at Lip with doubts and surprise.
Why does this guy who just officially appeared know everything.
Believe me, even though my name was put next to vampire, I have no idea what it means. At this time, I was in the mill, looking at my hair that had become black and white in a daze. (..)
