The river at night is quiet and silent, as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a full moon.
A stray dog walked to the river, looked around and saw no danger, so he let down his guard and lowered his head to drink.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow floated under the water not far away.
When the stray dog saw this, it immediately felt that something was wrong. After years of wandering, it judged that there were extremely dangerous things in the water.
He didn't care about his thirst at the moment, he turned around and put all his four legs into action, and disappeared into the darkness in a few sprints.
And the next second, the stray dog sank into the shadow.
Two dark shadows broke through the restraint of the river, jumped out of the water, and then fell heavily on the dry land by the river.
"Ahem…"
Su Qing's breathing was a little rapid, and the river water he accidentally inhaled choked him and made him cough.
But he didn't care about himself and quickly sat up and looked at the person next to him.
Selena was seen sitting on the ground, wet all over, her face was extremely pale, even her lips had lost their color.
Without waiting to say anything, he closed his eyes and fell backwards weakly.
Su Qing quickly grabbed the other person's back and reached out to feel his breath, only to find that his breathing was weak and his body was cold.
The situation is not good!
His heart tightened, and he stood up holding Selina and looked around the surrounding environment.
In order to escape the werewolf's pursuit, Selena took him into the river and sneaked underwater for an unknown distance. It seemed that they were still in the city.
On both sides of the river, there are lit street lights.
Street lights illuminate the road on the side, and there are buildings on the side of the road.
There were neon lights flashing on these buildings. Upon closer inspection, I saw that there were shops selling perfumes, skin care products, and jewelry... It turned out that I had arrived at a commercial street.
After determining the location, Su Qing carried Selena onto the street and walked straight into a clothing store.
After entering the store, he didn't say anything nonsense. He just threw out a soaked hundred pounds and said, "Two sets of clothes for each man and woman, and the rest is yours."
For the sake of Pound, the shop owner stopped scolding Su Qing for getting the floor wet. Without saying a word, he put away Pound and got everything ready in a short while.
"Mr. and Mrs., take care..."
Ignoring the shop owner's strange look, Su Qing took the packed clothes and quickly left to find a place to stay.
After turning into another street, Su Qing finally saw the hotel sign and immediately strode over.
Five minutes later.
Su Qing walked into the room, closed and locked the door, and put the unconscious Selena on the bed.
Then, he began to check Selena's injuries and saw four deep cuts on her shoulder blades. Due to being soaked in water for a long time, they had turned white and were no longer bleeding, but the bones could be clearly seen. There were also several wounds of varying depths on her waist and abdomen, and there were no less than seven or eight large and small wounds in other parts of her body.
With such injuries, an ordinary person would have died long ago.
In other words, Selina is a vampire with a special physique and strong vitality, which is why she can sustain it for such a long time.
But it can only last a little longer. If the vampire is not treated quickly, he will not be able to escape death.
Su Qing was not a doctor and had not received any similar training, so he had no idea how to treat injuries. He could only take off Selena's wet clothes, dry her body with a towel, and change her into dry clothes.
After doing all this, his originally chaotic mind finally calmed down.
"Damn, being stupid at the critical moment."
Cursing inwardly, Su Qing immediately went out to look for blood.
He remembered that there were multiple scenes in the noir movie where a vampire was shot and, after sucking blood, relied on its self-healing ability to squeeze the bullet out of its body.
In other words, in Selena's current condition, there is no need to suture the wound. As long as enough blood is provided, her body's self-healing ability will automatically start to heal the wound, and then there won't even be a scar left.
...
Fifteen minutes later, Su Qing returned to the room.
At this time, he was holding a large glass bottle in his hand, which contained scarlet liquid that was still steaming.
"fine."
Su Qing came to the bedside and was relieved to see that Selena was breathing normally and her injuries had not worsened.
Without hesitation, he reached out and gently parted the other person's cold lips, then carefully fed her the blood in the bottle.
As the blood flowed into her mouth, Selina swallowed subconsciously. It didn't take long for her to drink the entire two liters of blood.
With the blood activating her self-healing ability, her pale face quickly turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her weak breathing became strong.
"call!"
Seeing this, Su Qing finally felt relieved.
In fact, the blood in the bottle was horse blood, which he bought from a horse driver soliciting customers on the street for twenty pounds.
He had been worried that feeding horse blood to Selina would have no effect, but now it seemed that he had been worrying too much, as her reaction was the same as in the movie.
In Underworld, there is a very human setting.
That is, vampires. They don't necessarily have to suck human blood, they can also suck the blood of animals or the blood of their own kind.
Remember that Marcus, the ancestor of vampires, also initially fed his stomach with the blood of livestock.
It can be said that blood is just a key to stimulate the self-healing ability of vampires and a food that can be replaced at will.
Therefore, the vampires in the Noir series are not so obsessed with blood. They can live in cities, run companies, open research institutes, have jobs, and marry normal people. They are not like the vampires in another series called Twilight, who have to spend a lot of effort to overcome the temptation of human blood, nor do they need to suck blood regularly.
Even in the Dark Night series, he had never seen a hungry vampire clamoring for blood.
Selina was out of danger, and Su Qing finally had time to clean herself up.
First I changed my wet clothes, then went downstairs to find the hotel owner who had prepared a big meal.
After dinner, he returned to the room, sat on the chair, and looked at the person on the bed, his eyes flickering and changing.
Thinking back on everything that happened tonight, Su Qing couldn't remain calm for a moment.
At that time, five werewolves were besieging her. With Selena's abilities, even if she couldn't defeat them, she could still break through and escape easily.
But she didn't do that. Instead, she tried her best to protect Su Qing. Even though she was constantly wounded, she didn't abandon Su Qing. In the end, she took the werewolf's claw and jumped into the river with Su Qing to escape the werewolf's pursuit...
Su Qing was deeply moved by Selena's loyalty and decided to help her avenge her family's destruction.
Although it may sound a bit unpleasant to say, in the previous period, he was completely thinking of taking advantage of it and running away.
I thought that after I finished downloading the bloodline, I would find an opportunity to run away and go solo. As for following Selina to Hungary to meet that historian, sorry, my life is at stake, so I'll slip away first.
Hungary is the main battlefield for the battle between vampires and werewolves. Su Qing doesn't even have time to hide, so how could he really go in?
But now, the grace of saving my life, never leaving me...
Forget it, there is no point in thinking too much. Now I can only prove it through action.
Shaking his head, Su Qing silently opened the light curtain.
The prerequisite for helping Selena is strength. Without strength, everything is just an empty fantasy, and even your own life cannot be controlled.
Just like tonight, he was being chased by a werewolf like a stray dog, and Selena had to try her best to save him.
so...
"Sky-based!"
No matter what, even if I die, I will not be such a coward anymore.
Su Qing gritted his teeth, and a light screen appeared in front of him with a thought. Then he chose Selena's high-level vampire bloodline without hesitation and downloaded it.
The moment the thought came to his mind, his eyes went dark, and all the energy in his body seemed to be slowly and steadily drained away. His chest felt like a huge rock was pressing down on it, and he slumped in the chair, his consciousness gradually becoming blurred.
