The Calamity Containment Zone was a place of safety for Wen Wen. This time, he had returned to the familiar location. He turned his gaze towards the nearby cell, where the female vampire was imprisoned.
At this moment, the female vampire was crouching in the same manner, moving slowly, her gaze towards Wen Wen filled with hunger.
Her body had shrunk significantly, and her once-imposing figure had become gaunt.
Her… chest had become sunken from hunger.
"It seems she won't last much longer. I can't delay any further."
After resting for a while, Wen Wen went to the central area to look for usable containers.
All the rooms in the central area were locked; without using force, it was impossible to get in.
In such high-tech prisons, using violence could lead to unfavorable consequences. To avoid complications, Wen Wen did not resort to breaking or prying open locks.
However, he quickly found what he needed—a small metal bowl with a dog paw print outside one of the rooms.
It was a dog food bowl.
After cleaning it thoroughly with water, Wen Wen looked at the dog bowl with satisfaction. This would now serve as the female vampire's feeding bowl.
Although no one lived here now, the containment zone had water and electricity. It was more convenient than staying in a hotel, although lacking a private room was a bit inconvenient.
Each cell in the containment zone had a small door for food delivery. Wen Wen filled the dog bowl with a bag of blood and pushed it into the cell.
The moment the female vampire saw the blood, her eyes turned crimson. She exaggeratedly crawled to the dog bowl and began licking.
As she drank, her licking turned into sucking, and her movements became more vigorous. Her body quickly recovered from being like dried, shriveled meat to its original curvaceous form.
Wen Wen also felt his own strength rapidly increasing, and the exhaustion he felt was visibly dissipating.
"My power relies on drawing from hers…"
The female vampire was extremely hungry. One bag of blood was not enough for her to fully recover. Wen Wen had to repeatedly pour out twenty bags of blood before stopping.
Since she no longer showed significant improvement despite her continued thirst, Wen Wen decisively stopped supplying blood.
He felt that his speed and strength were now even greater than when he first acquired these powers!
At that moment, the fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged female vampire sat in the cold cell, cradling a small aluminum bowl, constantly extending her tempting tongue to lick.
Wen Wen observed for a while and then displayed a strange smile.
"This seems a bit… uh, I might be getting a bit perverted. No, no, I need to stay pure and fresh.
From now on, I'll need to feed her periodically. With about twenty bags of blood remaining, that should last a long time.
By the way, dealing with a vampire who only needs periodic feeding is already quite troublesome. Imagine if I caught a monster that needs daily feeding… Ugh, it would be so much easier if they were like that little ghost."
In the adjacent cell, the little ghost Qin Shuang cowered in the corner. Previously, when the female vampire was weak, he had mocked her. Now that she had regained her strength, the little ghost had once again hidden away.
A cowardly bully.
Wen Wen shook his head, not lingering nearby, and went straight to the central area.
This time, he planned to stay in the containment zone for a while to wait for the vines outside to retreat and then find an opportunity to escape from the hospital.
As long as the vines did not encircle him as they did before, Wen Wen, now empowered, should be able to easily escape from Renji Community Hospital.
He had been monitored by the Hunter Association for the past few days and had not visited the containment zone. Now, he would take this opportunity to inquire with the Central about the inner and outer worlds and the matters between superhumans.
"Hey, Central," Wen Wen greeted.
"Hello, Calamity Containment Officer 72580, Mr. Wen Wen," the metal particles transformed into the appearance of a suited man and addressed Wen Wen.
"Can you arrange for a couple of staff members to help me manage those monsters?" Wen Wen asked, scratching his ear.
"Sorry, your permissions are insufficient," the Central politely responded.
"How about if I bring someone in myself to help with the work?" Wen Wen continued asking.
The Central hesitated for a moment, and the suited man's expression became a bit off.
Isn't this something that a containment officer should handle?
"Sorry, your current permissions are insufficient," the Central replied.
"Currently insufficient permissions, so there's a chance for more in the future. That works; otherwise, once I catch enough monsters, I won't have to do anything and will just be a babysitter," Wen Wen said, shaking his head.
"I have some more questions about superhumans."
…
Like the Hunter Association, many things were beyond Wen Wen's permissions. However, the containment zone still had many unique aspects.
While the Central did not provide information on high-end matters due to Wen Wen's limited access, it did explain many basic issues in detail. Moreover, here, Wen Wen could ask targeted questions. As long as it didn't exceed his permissions, the Central generally provided answers.
However, the Central lacked the timeliness of the Hunter Association's information. Much of what the Central provided was outdated, so Wen Wen couldn't rely too heavily on it. At most, he used the Central's information as a reference.
After asking all the questions he wanted, Wen Wen found a place to sleep soundly.
He would consider the escape plans after waking up. By then, the vines should have dispersed.
…
Renji Community Hospital.
A nurse with arched eyebrows and thick foundation on her face pushed a small cart to an iron door on the second floor, which was heavily sealed.
Her name was Liu Qing'e, the head nurse of the surgical department.
Most medical staff at the hospital knew that the western annex building was off-limits, but few knew why.
Liu Qing'e was one of the few who did know.
She knew that in the original morgue of the western annex, there was a bizarre and terrifying plant.
But as long as she provided the plant with some blood and flesh every day, it wouldn't come out of the annex. She was responsible for this task on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
It was this task that had elevated her from an ordinary nurse to the head nurse of the surgical department.
In a hospital, the waste blood and flesh were abundant.
Limbs amputated in surgery, blood left on the operating table, and even corpses of those who died in the hospital could become food for that plant.
"I'm doing this to prevent that plant from harming others. Yes, that's right," Liu Qing'e reassured herself as she opened the iron door.
Despite having to take this job for a living, Liu Qing'e felt uneasy in her heart. She knew this work might be wrong, and if she didn't constantly comfort herself, she might not be able to continue.
Relying on this task, her family had a better life, her son enjoyed better education, and she had a higher status, so she had to persevere!
As she opened the iron door, she intended to use the long pole as usual to pour the blood and flesh from the cart inside.
However, this time, something was off. A blood-red vine reached out from the iron door and wrapped around her foot!
Then, an irresistible force pulled her inside…
