Chapter 1438: Chapter 1438 The Enemy’s Secret

Under Xue Lang’s lead, the other vampires also reluctantly called Gu Fan "Big Brother."

Li was a bit nervous, "Should I call you Tai from now on, or Gu Fan, or like them, call you Big Brother?"

"We’re friends, so let’s just use the names friends use," Gu Fan had barely finished speaking when suddenly a mutant vampire sprang out, lunging at Li.

Gu Fan’s response was lightning-fast; he grabbed the mutant vampire’s head with one hand and then slammed it against the wall.

Despite the mutant vampire’s strength, it was unable to break free—it desperately bit at Gu Fan’s hand, which played right into Gu Fan’s hands.

Soon, the mutant vampire convulsed and passed out, and the people around still couldn’t understand what technique Gu Fan had used; they only knew that Gu Fan was everyone’s hope.

Gu Fan took out a tube of blue blood and then said, "Pour this blue liquid into your tranquilizer guns, don’t ask what it is, just do it quickly."

"Got it!" Xue Lang quickly took it and followed the instructions.

Listening to the roaring around him, Li was very scared, "What should we do, our people have scattered, and it’s likely that most have turned into mutant vampires."

Gu Fan frowned, "To be honest, I can’t save that many people by myself, and we’re currently surrounded. The only way is to head to Experimental Zone No.2."

The others thought it made sense, except Xue Lang suddenly had a realization, "What do you mean, Gu Fan? You came for Experimental Zone No.2, didn’t you?"

Gu Fan quickly explained, "How can you say that, I’m thinking of everyone."

Xue Lang looked skeptical, "Stop lying, I’m definitely..."

Gu Fan landed a heavy punch on Xue Lang’s head and issued a stern warning, "As the little brother, you shouldn’t question Big Brother’s decisions."

"You..." Xue Lang held his aching head, fuming inside, but he dared not express his anger.

Just then, more than ten mutant vampires discovered them and charged over, roaring like starving wild beasts.

"Fire! Let’s test the new weapon’s power," Gu Fan said indifferently, and the others immediately sprang into action, firing their tranquilizer guns.

After being hit by the tranquilizer darts, the more than ten vampires, who had been charging wildly, suddenly went limp, collapsing on the ground in convulsions, and eventually all fell unconscious.

With a successful trial run, a smile played on Gu Fan’s lips. He turned back to look at the astonished faces of the others, then he said, "Now, does anyone still question me as the Big Brother?"

"No, no, we are thoroughly convinced; you are our Big Brother," the other vampires immediately declared, looking genuinely content.

Gu Fan glanced at Xue Lang, his eyes filled with significance.

Xue Lang immediately realized he needed to do something, so he quickly grabbed Gu Fan’s hand, looking at him with eyes that were incredibly earnest and sincere, "Big Brother, once a Big Brother, always a Big Brother. I’ve been searching for a Big Brother like you for hundreds of years. Why did you only show up now? If you had appeared earlier, I wouldn’t have gone astray."

Hearing this, Gu Fan showed a look of contempt. "Are you still the ruthless and fierce Xue Lang I remember?"

Xue Lang gave a wry smile. "Helen said that to deal with you guys, we need to possess the ability to spout nonsense with a straight face, just like you. I’ve been secretly practicing lately."

"Alright then, you guys have really gone to great lengths to target me." Gu Fan had to hand it to Helen for coming up with such a trick.

Li became anxious. "Now’s not the time to talk about this. Let’s hurry and escape from here."

"You’re right! Let’s get out of here!" Gu Fan immediately sprang into action, leading everyone towards Experimental Zone No.2.

As they traveled, some vampires whispered with concern. "Xue Lang, this isn’t right. Organization X strictly forbids approaching Experimental Zone No.2. Our task is just to clear the mutated vampires from Experimental Zone No.1."

Xue Lang, of course, knew this and gritted his teeth. "Do you have a better idea right now?"

"This..." The other vampires were speechless. They had no choice; if they didn’t follow Gu Fan to Experimental Zone No.2, they were on a path to certain death. Yet, by going there, they would violate Organization X’s rules, which was also a path to certain death.

Gu Fan seemed to hear their conversation. He stopped, turned around solemnly, and his indifferent gaze made Xue Lang and the others somewhat panicked. They were afraid that Gu Fan, displeased, would abandon them all.

Gu Fan spoke indifferently. "Please understand one thing. The moment Organization X sent you down for this mission, they had already given up on you. You’re not fighting for Organization X now, but for yourselves. If you’re still that concerned about the rules of Organization X, if you’re still blindly loyal to them, then go ahead and return to combat the mutated vampires."

Xue Lang quickly explained. "No, that’s not what we meant. We’ve just been with Organization X for so many years and can’t shake off its shadow right away. Please be understanding."

Gu Fan snorted coldly. "Xue Lang, are you thinking that for now, it’s fine to submit to me, to compromise, as long as you can survive and escape, and later capture me and offer me to Organization X to redeem yourselves?"

"No, absolutely not." Xue Lang quickly took a stand, but Gu Fan obviously didn’t believe him. "Xue Lang, if you want me to trust you and lead you out, you must do something. For example, tell me a secret about Organization X. You’ve been with them for so long, you must know many secrets."

"This..." Xue Lang started sweating profusely, his face filled with unease. He didn’t dare speak, knowing that if he did, he would surely be severely punished by Organization X.

Gu Fan was indifferent. "There’s one thing I really admire about you, Xue Lang. It’s your blind loyalty. Organization X has already abandoned you, yet you remain so devoted to them, guarding their secrets."

"Alright, don’t say anymore. I’ll tell you," Xue Lang said, appearing to weigh his options carefully before making a major decision.

At that moment, not only Gu Fan but also the vampires from Organization X pricked up their ears to listen—they all wanted to know what shocking secret Xue Lang would reveal.

Xue Lang spoke calmly. "Remember, you, Gu Fan, asked me to tell this. Don’t regret it."

Gu Fan was very sure of himself. "If I regret it, I’ll take your name."

"What about you guys?" Xue Lang looked at the other vampires and then at Tai before saying solemnly, "Organization X will kill anyone who shouldn’t know this secret. If you know this secret..."

Gu Fan lost his patience and quickly urged, "Alright, stop with the ominous talk. Speak up if you’re going to speak. Time is precious, and youth waits for no one."
