Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 34: 34. Information

Behind the tree was a bloodied body of a man which had cut marks on it. There was a slit on the person's neck and dried blood all over the grass.

Dexter shook his head and walked closer as he saw that the man died with a horrified expression.

"W... wait." Rina said and Dexter looked back at her with a tranquil expression.

Zain understood how relatable this was as he remembered the bloodied bodies of the people at the orphanage where they narrowly escaped death.

Dexter just continued walked towards the body and used both of his fingers to close its eyes.

'I still remember we had bodies like this every month back at Serene because of the gangs.' Dexter sighed.

"What creature do you think did this?" Rina asked, looking at the body in horror.

"It's not a monster." Leo said and Zain raised a brow.

"He's right. Look at the bloodied axe on the tree." Dexter pointed and they looked to see a short red axe stuck in the tree.

"There's also markings of the axe on the body." Dexter added. "And a dead body that stabbed itself with an axe won't be able to move to stick it on the tree."

"So a human did this?" Zain asked and Dexter nodded.

"Why would a human do this though?" Rina asked and Dexter just started walking back towards them.

"Who knows." Dexter shrugged.

"So a person within the camp is killing people. Should be easy enough to catch whoever did it." Leo said as they began to make their way back to the camp.

Upon reaching close to the camp they were shocked to see the streets bloodied with bodies of the blue zombies all over. Most of the zombies were missing a part while some were burnt to a crisp.

"What happened?" Zain asked the soldiers upon reaching the entrance of the camp.

"We were attacked again. This time there were more zombies and captain Laurence and Beatrice dealt with them." A soldier replied.

"So today's attack was bigger than yesterday's?" Dexter asked and the soldier nodded.

They then made their way into the camp.

"So many strange things at once. Missing people, zombie attacks." Dexter mumbled.

"But in the second phase humans would be able to evolve. Not just humans, but monsters as well."

"As for what the Tiran really was. She didn't know anything about it. Only that when it chooses a particular planet, it will evolve for the better, or for the worse." Laurence explained and the others were pondering.

"Are you saying there are alien races in the universe too?" Dexter asked as he remembered the words, 'choose a particular planet'.

"Unfortunately, they are. The only thing we can do now is grow stronger for what is to come." Laurence said and all of them fell into deep thought.

"What about the tower? We were only allowed into one section." The colonel said.

"Huh. Yes, the tower has many sections, but to go a higher section the second phase of the tiran impact must occur. Else we would be overpowered, she said." Laurence said with a bitter smile.

Dexter sighed.

"The restrictions on the tower is stupid. But whatever." He gazed at the ceiling.

"But she told me that even the weakest Heavenly totem in the higher section cost 10,000 Heaven's tower points so we won't be able to afford it." Laurence said, making Dexter sit up with a shocked expression.

10,000 points!

Not just him but also the others in the room also had shocked expressions.

'10,000 points.' Dexter was in disbelief.

He only gets 10 to 50 points from zombies so far, 10,000 points was a huge amount.

...

After that brief meeting they stood up to leave with new motivations to grow stronger. But then Laurence called them.

"Oh. Wait."

They looked back at him.

"Also, this uhh... these golden words that records whatever we get and have is actually called a spirit interface." He said. "Just thought I should tell you guys since calling it the Tiran is actually wrong and the Tiran is something else."

...

Dexter made his way to behind the same building where he met Lily the previous day and when he got there, the little girl was overjoyed at his presence.

"I thought you wouldn't come." She looked excited and Dexter proceeded to show her some basic self defence moves.
