Chapter 164

It was extremely quiet all around, without even the sound of birds chirping.

Gu Wanyin was quite relaxed, sitting in her carriage, eating fried skewers while watching a show.

The fried skewers were in a takeout container, yet they tasted as if they had just been freshly fried, both fragrant and crispy.

She had activated the carriage's vampire-invisibility function, as she didn't want to be stopped by vampires and waste time along the way.

If humans were to stop her, she wouldn't mind taking an extra guest back to the hotel.

Just as they were approaching Cateros Town, she heard a whistle from the left side of the road.

Then another whistle sounded from the right.

The whistle from the left rang out again.

The whistles from both sides seemed to be responding to each other.

Gu Wanyin wasn't sure what was happening, so she continued forward. Suddenly, three burly men jumped out from the bushes on both sides and blocked her carriage's path.

She quickly brought the carriage to a halt.

"We weren't wrong, it's definitely a human!" one of the men said.

"What a delicious smell..." another man deeply inhaled the aroma in the air, "It's been so long since I've had normal food!"

Gu Wanyin could tell they were human and had just started to smile, preparing to promote her hotel, when one of the men aggressively spoke up.

"Woman, if you're smart, hand over all your food and the carriage! Otherwise, don't blame us for throwing you to the vampires!"

Gu Wanyin: "..."

Well, these kinds of people weren't worthy of staying at her hotel.

"Even in times like these, if you're so capable, why don't you go fight vampires instead? What's so brave about bullying a woman?" Gu Wanyin asked coldly.

"Heh... who has time for that? We're not looking to get ourselves killed!"

"Yeah, fighting vampires is too difficult, but dealing with one woman is much easier!"

One of the men kept looking around nervously and urged, "Hurry up! There are four of us here now, let's not attract any vampires!"

"Get her! If this woman dares to resist, kill her on the spot!"

Someone shouted, and the three men charged toward Gu Wanyin's carriage!

Gu Wanyin sat there, completely unmoved.

One of the men suddenly felt something was off and shouted, "Stop!"

The other two hurriedly stopped, nearly falling over.

"What are you doing? Suddenly yelling stop, you scared us!"

"Something's not right..."

In this apocalyptic world brought about by vampires, everyone lived in fear, so how could this woman dare to drive a carriage alone so openly on the road?

Moreover, when all three of them charged at her carriage, she showed no fear at all!

Something was definitely wrong, very wrong!

"Now you're starting to feel afraid?" Gu Wanyin smiled, "Sorry, but it's too late."

As soon as she finished speaking, three Merciless Iron Hands grew out of the carriage!

"What the hell!"

The three men were terrified and turned to run.

However, the three Merciless Iron Hands seemed to extend infinitely, catching up to them in an instant and mercilessly punching each of them in the head.

"Ouch!"

The punches were clearly powerful, as all three fell to the ground, wailing in pain.

But the Merciless Iron Hands weren't done with them yet.

The three iron hands pummeled them relentlessly, sometimes taking turns, beating them until they were howling and crying for mercy.

Finally, they were left barely conscious, too weak even to speak.

Gu Wanyin moved the carriage forward a few steps to their side.

"You wanted to kill me, didn't you? And throw me to the vampires?" Gu Wanyin sneered, "Well then... you can wait here to feed the vampires yourselves."

She pointed to the sky.

The three men mustered their strength to look in the direction she was pointing, and saw several vampires flying toward them.

"Ah! Vampires!"

They struggled to get up, but they had been beaten too severely by the Merciless Iron Hands and had no strength left.

"Well, I'll be going now. Have fun with the vampires," Gu Wanyin said leisurely.

"Don't go! Please, don't!"

"Please, save us! We'll never dare to do this again!"

"Don't leave us to the vampires!"

But Gu Wanyin acted as if she couldn't hear their pleas and drove her carriage away.

Soon, the vampires landed and surrounded the three men.

"Humans, fresh humans, hehe..."

"Humans are too good at hiding these days, I haven't had blood for days!"

"I claim the biggest one!"

One of the men trembled as he begged, "Don't, don't kill us! Look, there's a carriage up ahead with a woman in it, go drink her blood instead!"

"What carriage? What woman?"

One vampire even flew up to check, then came back saying, "What nonsense! There isn't even a shadow of a carriage!"

"That's impossible, she just left a moment ago..."

"Stop wasting time with them!"

The vampires swarmed in and instantly drained two of the men dry.

The remaining man was left trembling in absolute despair.

"Please, I beg you, don't kill me..."

One vampire licked the blood clean from the corner of his mouth and smiled wickedly, "You're in luck today, boy."

The man froze for a moment, thinking he might actually survive, but then heard the vampire continue, "We're taking you back as an offering to our First Director! Haha, what an honor for you!"

With that, two vampires grabbed him and took flight.

The man wailed and screamed for a while before fainting from fear.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a dark place.

His head was spinning, and he didn't know what to do.

As soon as he looked up, he discovered a vampire sitting right in front of him!

The vampire was quite handsome, but his expression was cold and terrifying to look at.

He screamed in panic, annoying the vampire who waved his hand at his subordinates and said, "Take him away! Looking at him makes me lose my appetite."

Two subordinates happily carried the man away.

"Lord Wazi, are you still worried about your brother?"

"Yes, Buchuan Kucha went out yesterday and hasn't returned yet. Could something have happened to him?"

"That's impossible, my lord. Lord Kucha is so powerful, how could humans possibly be a match for him? Don't worry, I'll send vampires to search for him right away."

"Kucha, where have you gone..."

...

Soon after, Gu Wanyin arrived at Cateros Town.

The town was in a miserable state, with many buildings collapsed and signs of fire damage.

It was clear that this had once been a prosperous town, but now, its former bustling atmosphere was completely gone.
