Chapter 1439: Chapter 1439: Opening the Door for You

Xue Lang gave a self-deprecating smile. "Experiment Zone Two was actually not established by Organization X. Do you know what that place is?"

Gu Fan immediately answered, "It’s a large spaceship, and it’s related to an ancient Super Civilization."

"You know?" Xue Lang was shocked but then came to a realization. It made sense—after all, the person he was speaking to was Gu Fan; this guy had been through a lot.

The other vampires did not know what an ancient Super Civilization was, and they all looked confused.

"Let’s save ancient Super Civilizations for later; now let’s focus on the key point," Xue Lang said after thinking it over. Then he continued, "In Experiment Zone Two, Organization X discovered a device that could transfer life energy from one person to another. For instance, if someone was critically injured and beyond the help of contemporary medical knowledge, this device could transfer the life energy of a healthy individual to the severely injured one."

Gu Fan couldn’t help but interject, "So what was the result? Did the critically injured person miraculously recover, and the other person..."

Xue Lang nodded sadly, "Yes, that’s what life energy transfer is like."

The other vampires were puzzled, "Xue Lang, while the stuff you’re talking about is novel, it doesn’t seem like a big secret? Even if you tell us, Organization X won’t exterminate us just because we know this secret, right?"

Xue Lang gave a bitter smile, conveying that things were not that simple. "Organization X once conducted an experiment with that device, transferring the life force of a vampire into another vampire. Guess what happened."

Hearing this, everyone was horrified, realizing that the following information was the crux of the matter. They all listened with bated breath.

Xue Lang went on: "A vampire can’t survive more than a minute under the sun’s rays, but the vampire that received the life force could last more than five minutes under the sun."

Gu Fan frowned—should all vampires undergo such life force transfers for enhancement, Organization X would become invincible.

"If I’m not mistaken, Organization X subsequently conducted experiments transferring the life forces of two vampires into one," Gu Fan said, staring intently at Xue Lang, the atmosphere heavy with tension.

Xue Lang nodded, "Correct, based on earlier experiments, Organization X continued to transfer the life energy of more vampires into one individual, eventually making that vampire’s life force so strong that it overcame the sun’s influence, approaching perfect immortality."

Upon hearing this, the other vampires initially cheered because it meant overcoming the threat of sunlight, finally being able to walk in it.

Gu Fan, seizing the moment, asked, "How many vampires were sacrificed to empower one?"

"About a hundred," Xue Lang replied with a simple four words but with a face full of helplessness.

Gu Fan understood, "So what Organization X truly cannot afford to lose is not the experiment area, but the device that can transfer life force."

Xue Lang nodded again, "Yes, the Xue Clan wants to thoroughly study the device and then create one that can transfer the life energy of a hundred people into one individual at once, which means..."

"Which means that if Organization X enhances the device, then all vampires would become sacrifices for the Xue Clan to achieve near-perfect immortality," Gu Fan said, astonished. He looked around at the repulsive expressions on the faces of the surrounding vampires.

Xue Lang added, "It’s not just the Xue Clan, even a veteran vampire like me would be eligible for this life force enhancement. For Organization X, it wouldn’t matter if they had to sacrifice all vampires to obtain a stronger life force."

"This truly is a tremendous secret," Gu Fan said, stroking his chin thoughtfully. He knew the implications if this secret spread—it would sow discord among all vampires and the Xue Clan, leading to a split within Organization X.

Although the other vampires remained silent, there was a look of resentment in their eyes. They had been assigned to clean up garbage, a task done with unspoken anger toward Organization X. Now, knowing that they were considered expendable by Organization X all along, they obviously didn’t feel good about it.

Li could not hold back and interjected, "Alright, let’s talk about this later. Right now, we need to hurry to Experiment Zone Two. Who knows when those mutated vampires will come after us."

"Okay, let’s move," Gu Fan took the lead, and the rest followed.

Along the way, they moved swiftly, encountering many scattered companions, slightly augmenting the group headed to Experiment Zone Two.

Following the map’s guidance, they were about to turn a corner and would see the entrance to Experiment Zone Two—but, Li raised a concern, "How are we getting into Experiment Zone Two? Do we have an access card?"

Upon hearing this, everyone paused, considering the dilemma—if they couldn’t get in through the main entrance, what would they do? Wouldn’t that make it a dead end?

Gu Fan cursed himself for his oversight, not having considered this aspect. But there was no choice but to press on with determination.

Behind them, the occasional growls of mutated vampires could be heard, spurring everyone to pick up the pace and silently pray that the way forward would be open.

Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed as the entrance to Experiment Zone Two was firmly shut with no way through.

Gu Fan snorted contemptuously, accelerating towards the door, looking ready to take the lead in breaking through.

Xue Lang figured out what Gu Fan was planning to do and kindly warned, "That’s metal from the ancient Super Civilization; no matter how strong you are, you can’t break it."

Gu Fan ignored the warning and started to sprint, rolling up his sleeves as he ran.

At that moment, the roar of the mutated vampires grew closer, sounding like demons about to crawl out from hell, causing everyone to tremble with fear.

With no other options, they had to take the challenge head-on; Xue Lang led all the vampires in a charge to break open the imposing door with their combined strength.

Just as Gu Fan was about to kick the door, he was surprised to see it open automatically for him.

"This..." Xue Lang was stunned, sensing something was very amiss.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do or whether they should enter.

"It’s too easy; could it be a trap?" Li voiced everyone’s concern, then a growl from behind sent a jolt of fear through them.

Gu Fan knew there were no better options and resolutely decided to be the first to rush in.

Seeing Gu Fan take the lead, the others followed his steps, and they all dashed through the door into Experiment Zone Two.

At that moment, the mutated vampires also emerged from the darkness, ferociously attacking the group.

At the last second, the door closed, barring the mutated vampires from entering.
