Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 458 I really didn't intend to steal the credit!

The zombie girl was lying on the ground, gnawing on a piece of fresh flesh.

"You eat so badly. Your IQ is so low, but you're so clean. It means someone has been taking care of you. But your owner didn't teach you to eat properly. It seems they just raise you like a dog." A woman's voice whispered in the dark.

The zombie girl devoured the fresh flesh, then casually smeared the blood and gore all over her face with her claws.

“It’s so dirty.”

A figure stood up from a chair in the corner of the room and walked towards the zombie girl, the sound of leather shoes clicking on the ground.

The zombie girl suddenly let out a low growl, her gentle and harmless face-wiping action abruptly transforming into a ferocious beast ready to devour anyone, lunging straight at the nearby figure.

But then, a wide skirt billowed in her vision, and a long leg swept across her forehead, making her stumble. The figure raised its leg high into a split, and finally stomped down on the zombie girl.

The zombie girl was pinned to the ground without any resistance, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't shake off the foot that was stepping on her head.

However, the zombie girl didn't struggle for long before calming down.

"Even if they are inherently unruly, they are used to being oppressed. Once they find that things are impossible and there is no chance, they will immediately show weakness. Although it is humble, it is indeed a kind of cleverness."

The female voice continued, then bent down, revealing a hand with sharp nails that reached towards the zombie girl's face from the shadows...

The handkerchief gently wiped the zombie girl's face, cleaning away the bloodstains.

"This is outrageous. Both are monsters that drain life force, yet the difference between them is so vast. I thought I had finally found one of my kind after wandering around for so long, but I am truly disappointed."

"Huh?" The zombie girl stared blankly at the woman wiping her face with clear eyes.

Under the dim lighting outside, a tall woman with flowing blonde hair and an elegant and noble demeanor was revealed.

However, her eyes were an eerie blood red, and sharp teeth could be vaguely seen protruding from her mouth as she spoke. She wore a bright, heavy red Lolita dress.

"It seems impossible to get any clues from you about why we are here."

After wiping the zombie girl's face clean, the woman stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the indistinct buildings and the hazy night sky.

Just then, her keen hearing picked up a sound coming from downstairs in the building.

Echolocation and life force sensing quickly pinpoint the source of the sound in the mind.

A team of humans, all full of vitality, entered the building. Five people entered, while seven others guarded the outside, blocking all possible entrances and exits.

Noticing the gaze sweeping towards her window, she took a few steps back, moved away from the window, and disappeared back into the darkness.

"Someone's here, but it doesn't seem to be the reason they brought us here," she said in a low voice, grabbing the zombie girl.

The zombie girl instinctively struggled a few times, but finding it futile, she eventually gave in.

"Those human clothes must be from the processing bureau. Getting involved with them would be troublesome."

She easily opened the door and went out.

Indeed, this was also something that puzzled her. Although she woke up in this strange place, seemingly having been captured, she hadn't seen a single person and they didn't seem to be imprisoned.

Is it a cruel joke, or some other conspiracy?
Two footsteps quickly approached their floor.

Just as she was about to turn around and take a detour, a figure suddenly burst into the stairwell through the window, and gunshots rang out continuously, with several silver bullets heading straight for her face.

The woman carried the zombie girl in one hand, and with her other hand, she instantly blurred and deflected all the silver bullets in front of her.

The burly figure landed in front of her, drawing a curved knife from his back: "I didn't expect such an unexpected gain. Well, after all, you are also a tainted creature, the most prominent vampire."

A searchlight shone directly through the window, illuminating the full appearance of the vampire named "Most Star".

Although she is a vampire, she has a pure and lovely appearance, like a fairy, without any seductive charm.

"You are...?" Zui Xing looked at the other person with suspicion, and after a moment of recollection, she couldn't remember this person who seemed to know her very well.

“My name is Kang Zhengshan. We’ve never met before; I’ve only heard of your tainted reputation. But that’s alright, you’ll remember me soon enough.”

After Kang Zhengshan finished speaking, his curved blade flashed with a cold light and slashed towards Zuixing.

While protecting the zombie girl, Zui Xing also maneuvered with Kang Zhengshan in the corridor. Claws and scimitars clashed and rubbed against each other frequently in the dark corridor, sparks flying.

Not intending to get entangled with the other party any longer, she darted out of the window from which Kang Zhengshan had come, her black bat wings unfurling as she flew through the air.

Those guarding below quickly launched an aerial attack on her. But then her eyes flashed, and a red light spread from her body, causing all the attacks to freeze in mid-air. They only resumed their attack after she flew away, but all of them missed their target.

Just as she was about to leave, an intense pressure came, and Zui Xing's expression changed slightly as she fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

A team member walked out carrying two iron balls that appeared to be tightly joined but were actually always spaced apart; the heaviest pressure on the star came from his hands.

"You dog shit humans!" Zui Xing cursed vulgarly.

Kang Zhengshan jumped out of the building and landed leisurely: "A tainted creature with such high intelligence as you is especially popular at the Academy and will definitely fetch a good price."

"Roar!" A deep roar suddenly sent several streams of corpse poison shooting towards the team member holding the iron ball. Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the team member's balance on the iron ball was disrupted as he dodged.

"Damn it, she's carrying something else too?!"

Zuixing suddenly stood up, his fierce gaze fixed on the group before him, about to display his might...

boom!
A car suddenly drove by and hit her, throwing her into the wall.

Lu Chongming hurriedly got out of the car.

"Lu Chongming?!" Kang Zhengshan frowned. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm sorry to interfere with your team's operation, but could you leave the zombie she's holding to me?" Lu Chongming said somewhat nervously.

I'm late!

He clearly wanted to get along well with his colleagues, and even if he couldn't, he should at least try not to ruin their impressions, but he really couldn't control his own situation! Lu Chongming knew that right now he was like a hyena chasing after achievements, wanting to bite anyone who was working.

Please, just let him have one zombie, considering he just helped the other person a little bit!
“Impossible.” Kang Zhengshan approached and said, “Our prey, you suddenly intervene and want to get a share of the pie? Dream on. You are indeed riding high recently, but I still hope you know your place. I became the captain two years before you, and I am your senior. Not only do you have no respect, but you also dare to ask me for credit. You are too arrogant.”

"I'm sorry, but I really didn't mean to take credit for this; I just had personal needs. I can make it up to you later..."

Kang Zhengshan suddenly punched Lu Chongming directly in the face. Lu Chongming was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

"How did you..."

Kang Zhengshan ignored him and simply ordered his team to surround the vampire.

Before Lu Chongming could get up, Kang Zhengshan's team members approached him and kicked him down a few more times.

"The captain is too kind. A kid like you would have been a casualty in any mission before the earthquake, hahaha."

"If it weren't for the current tense situation, we would have dealt with you right now according to our past practices. So I advise you to put away your insignificant ambitions, thank you. You're just an ordinary person, and you don't have any ability other than stealing credit like a dog. You actually think you can make up for the captain's years of accumulation in just one month."

Lu Chongming dodged their subsequent kicks and punches, looked at them and said, "You've attacked your own people before?!"

Although he had heard some rumors, he always thought they were just little stories to scare newcomers. Even though he knew that corruption was serious in the past, he never thought that someone would actually use a mission to harm their own people.

Not to mention it's just a "habit".

They just said "habit," right? That means these veteran members have done similar things more than once, perhaps even many times...

"So what?" The teammate in front of him asked matter-of-factly.

Lu Chongming took a few deep breaths and said, "I really don't want to steal credit. How about I just give you the money I can get for that zombie in exchange?"

Kang Zhengshan suddenly turned around and slashed at Lu Chongming with his sword. Lu Chongming was prepared this time and immediately drew his sword to meet the attack head-on.

“Captain Kang, I did offend you, but this is about enough. You're the one who crossed the line now.” Lu Chongming’s eyes gradually turned fierce, and compound eye-like features appeared in his pupils.

Kang Zhengshan's face darkened: "I've really had enough of you ignorant newcomers. You don't know the rules."

"Speaking of rules, I remember that after the earthquake, Chief Zhang Xue explicitly forbade members of the Jiangwen Street Affairs Bureau from contacting the Society privately, right? Captain Kang, you still want to sell the tainted organism to the Society, isn't that really breaking the rules?"

Swish!
Just as they were confronting each other, a red light suddenly swept across everyone present.

Everyone stared wide-eyed as the vampire slowly emerged, his eyes filled with malice.

Everyone covered in the red light was frozen in place, their bodies immobilized, unable to move an inch except for slight facial expressions.

"Roar!" The zombie girl jumped around the vampire angrily.

The vampire's skirt fluttered slightly as she spread her claws: "You talk too much, humans really are just trash."

Eastern and Western vampires join forces!
