In the Ant Nest, Li Hang believed that his father maintained neutrality and would not harm Xiao Qiang, who was deep in sleep inside the Cryogenic Chamber. The probing information from the star system had been intercepted by intelligent radar, originating from the most powerful Blue Star System, sent to Earth using encrypted codes.
Humanity had exhausted every means and finally succeeded in cracking this set of Alien System encrypted messages. The content remained confidential, but scientists were well aware that in the near future, humanity and Earth faced imminent danger.
To swiftly eliminate all Extraterrestrial Beings and Mutants lurking on Earth, humanity intensified their extermination efforts. The crackdown came from all directions.
They employed Silver Nitrate spray, flamethrowers, and Silver Bullets to forcefully cleanse the surrounding areas inhabited by humans as well as uninhabited zones. A large number of werewolves infiltrating the cities began to retaliate violently against the military personnel involved in the search operations.
However, under the overwhelming firepower, the werewolves ultimately retreated into underground tunnels, seeking new escape routes.
At the same time, the Li Family was attacked by werewolves.
The werewolves' keen sense of smell detected the family's hidden secrets; within a sealed smart monitoring room lay a Rare Serum they needed. Meanwhile, humans were also using this Mass Extermination to search for two crucial individuals who had gone missing: Lin Yu, known as Metal Slut from Tomorrow's Battle, and another warrior with Rare Serum and Ability named Wildfire.
Han Shaoyu returned to his lair early that morning.
Lin Yu, also unable to sleep through the night in her lair, sat on her bed with her knees hugged tightly, lost in thought. Ever since parting ways with Cold Star at the opening last night, strange images kept surfacing in her mind.
A Cryogenic Chamber in deep sleep, a cold figure lying still. She desperately wanted to see that person's face clearly, but every time she sensed that moment, the image would waver and become indistinct.
Her fingers tangled in her hair as she felt her scalp's follicles stretch under her touch. Frustrated, she got up and casually pushed open her bedroom door. A glance down the hallway revealed Li Hang at the end.
Knowing that Li Hang was typically aloof, Lin Yu approached him with a casual stride before suddenly looking up to meet his gaze. "Are you looking for me?"
Li Hang sensed a call from his father and assumed he was there to bid farewell. This departure might be permanent. He had intended to stay hidden and gather important information for a deal with someone but hadn't expected his father to summon him early.
Before arriving at Han Shaoyu's lair, Li Hang had agreed with his father not to connect or sense each other unless an emergency arose. Doing so could expose his identity and attract Han Shaoyu's attention.
Now it seemed something must have happened within the family for his father to urgently summon him back.
"Yes, I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?"
"To where I should be." Without confirming whether Lin Yu had any familial ties with Han Shaoyu at that moment, Li Hang could not reveal that he was a member of another Vampire Family.
In fact, long ago, Li Hang had been unaware of his status as a Vampire Family member. The term "father" felt foreign in his memory. Altered memories had completely obscured the truth.
Until Professor R was on the brink of death, he was granted the ability to regenerate by Han Shaoyu. When he refused to become a vampire, he was bitten by Wen Kai, who forcibly brought him into the Han Shaoyu Family.
With his newfound regenerative abilities, combined with his original powers, Li Hang sensed an unprecedented phenomenon—a call awakening in his mind. He sought the source of this calling and found the family ancestral home, where he encountered his resurrected father.
His father told him an almost absurd story, claiming that he had been killed long ago by a young man named Xiao Qiang. He also said that Li Hang was born at that time, and that his mother had been burned alive in a car for refusing to become part of him.
Li Hang insisted that Xiao Qiang was his friend, and his father promised not to harm this friend. Meanwhile, Han Shaoyu sensed a distant calling and hurried back to the Ant Nest.
His early return startled Li Hang, who had not managed to leave in time.
Lin Yu quickly urged Li Hang, "You need to leave now."
"Okay," Li Hang replied, moving swiftly. As he approached another exit, he found Wen Kai blocking the way.
"Are you trying to betray Han Shaoyu?" Wen Kai's complex gaze fell on his former friend. "You should abandon that thought."
"It's not betrayal; it's a return," Li Hang declared as he suddenly unleashed his ability, fingers extending and spinning like drill bits as they lunged toward Wen Kai.
"Hah..." Wen Kai revealed his fangs, meeting the attack head-on without flinching.
In the narrow corridor, the two exchanged blows back and forth, neither gaining the upper hand.
Han Shaoyu entered the activity hall and urgently summoned the council members. Lin Yu was promoted to a member of the Vampire Family council.
From his elevated position, Han Shaoyu's fierce eyes bore down on the submissive Professor R. "We have a traitor in our family; he is one of yours."
Professor R was taken aback. He had been preoccupied with researching weapons capable of defeating Silver Bullets with a single strike and had neglected the management of Li Hang and Wen Kai. He turned his sharp eyes toward Han Shaoyu, secretly wondering if they were both...
"The Lord, they won't betray you."
"I never said it was them," Han Shaoyu shouted. His gaze seemed ready to devou Professor R R whole, sending a chill down the latter's spine as he dared not speak.
Han Shaoyu turned to Lin Yu. "Go fetch Cold Star for me."
Cold Star sat gloomily inside, torn between wanting to leave and being reluctant to part with everything once held dear. The door swung open from outside as Lin Yu entered.
"Cold Star, you need to run—run as far away as you can."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know if Han Shaoyu has discovered your situation."
"..." Cold Star shook her head in denial. "No, my father must have seen that the body in the punishment room is missing."
"Wrong. He returned without checking that room and went straight into the activity hall to summon all the council members." Lin Yu was also uncertain about who Han Shaoyu's target was—perhaps it was Cold Star, or maybe Li Hang. If they split up, they might save one of them.
Cold Star refused to run, confidently believing that Han Shaoyu wouldn't do anything to her since she was just a teenager. Lin Yu had no choice but to accompany her to the council activity hall, thinking they would act according to the situation.
However, when they arrived at the activity hall, they saw Wen Kai escorting Li Hang into the room.
Han Shaoyu's gaze followed Cold Star as she stepped in, finally locking onto Li Hang.
"Who are you? What is your purpose lurking here?"
Li Hang sneered, raising his head without responding. If it weren't for Wen Kai's trickery earlier, he wouldn't have been easily captured.
