Chapter 28

The night was as red as blood.

At some point, the moonlight in the sky had taken on a hint of blood red, and that blood-red moonlight had dyed half the sky red, making the entire night sky appear red. This was a rare occurrence; in Zhao Futu's memory, he had only seen it once in his life, on August 13, 2004, when the sky over his hometown was blood red, dark and ominous, causing unease and fear!

Zhao Futu remembered very clearly that after that day, a thunderstorm broke out in his hometown, a very heavy thunderstorm. The thunder and lightning struck 136 times, and he counted 136 times! There was a mountain range in his hometown with a very common name, called Wild Boar Ridge, because there were many wild boars there. After the thunderstorm, a fire broke out there, burning for several days, leaving nothing on more than a dozen mountain peaks!

It was a very strange event.

Especially after the heavy rain, that mountain range was engulfed in a massive fire.

Many elders said that a monster had appeared on that mountain. Over a decade ago, people had seen a silver-white giant snake, over ten meters long, on Wild Boar Ridge, perhaps it had become a demon.

Now, the heavens were striking to subdue the demon!

This incident once piqued the curiosity of the young Zhao Futu and left a deep impression on him.

………………

"An unusual phenomenon in the sky!"

When Zhao Futu rushed out of the corridor with the woman in his arms, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the moon in the sky. He looked down at the woman in his arms, who was already unconscious, and gazed at her slightly swollen abdomen, saying slowly, "It really seems like a demon is being born!"

The blood-red moonlight greatly stimulated the ferocity of the werewolves!

Suddenly, the werewolves, who had been barely holding their ground against the vampire warriors of the Death Corps, burst into an astonishing fighting power! Some of the werewolves' muscles continued to swell, and they began to undergo a second transformation! They howled to the sky, howling at the moon, and their bodies, which were originally slightly smaller, quickly swelled up like balloons, and soon several giant werewolves appeared again!

"Hmm? Her wound has stopped bleeding?" Zhao Futu found a safe corner and gently placed the woman on the ground.

He had been unbuttoning her clothes, preparing to re-bandage the wound on her shoulder, which had been roughly bandaged before, just to stabilize it. But when he reopened the wound on her shoulder, he found that it had completely stopped bleeding. Not only that, but the wound on her shoulder, which had been a mess of flesh and blood, showed signs of regenerating muscle!

"Has the werewolf virus entered the mature stage?" Zhao Futu was immediately relieved.

As long as the werewolf virus in her body entered the mature stage, this injury was nothing. With the astonishing recovery power brought by the werewolf virus, her injuries would likely be almost completely healed by tomorrow.

"Ah... um... it hurts..."

The woman had completely lost consciousness, her eyes closed, but the eyeballs under her eyelids were moving constantly. Suddenly, she let out an unconscious moan of pain, which startled Zhao Futu. Not only that, but her whole body began to tremble violently, and soon she was covered in a fine sweat, and her abdomen visibly swelled.

This was a very strange situation!

The woman on the ground was completely unconscious, but the intense pain still made her struggle violently. Her abdomen seemed to be giving birth to a new life, which was rapidly growing inside. In just a short time, the woman's belly had swollen as if she were nine months pregnant, and Zhao Futu could clearly see the signs of a newborn baby moving inside!

The woman's struggles and tremors gradually weakened, but the signs of the baby moving inside her became more and more obvious.

Zhao Futu opened her eyes and found that her eyeballs had turned white, with obvious signs of dilated pupils, and the center was a hollow, pale white. Her wound, which had started to heal, began to bleed again, and her breathing and heartbeat gradually slowed, the signs of life gradually fading away.

As if in a last burst of energy, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a glimmer of vitality appeared in her gaze.

The woman turned her head with great difficulty to look at Zhao Futu, revealing a sad and beautiful smile. Then she raised her hand, trembling, and touched her abdomen, where a powerful life was being nurtured. Even as a fetus, it was already making Zhao Futu and the others hear its strong heartbeat. As if sensing the touch of her fingers, the baby inside her stopped moving, as if enjoying the comfort of its mother.

A look of tenderness and fear flashed in the woman's eyes!

She trembled, her hands trembling, and said softly, "My... child... my child!"

Her eyes, which had lost their luster, slowly closed. She seemed to have exhausted all her strength, or perhaps the last burst of energy had passed, and she finally closed her eyes again. Her breathing and heartbeat became weaker and weaker, and only a last bit of special vitality remained in her body, maintaining her most basic life signs!

The baby inside her moved, and a dark red bloodstain began to spread from her lower body.

Zhao Futu was now at a loss to describe what he was seeing. He didn't know what he could do, and could only watch as a tenacious new life was born!

The night sky was as red as blood.

The bloodstain under the woman had spread widely, and the baby's head had already emerged, not much different from most newborns, except that its eyes were open, with one large and one small pupil, a greenish gaze, like a wolf...

………………

Bang!

A graceful and charming figure suddenly descended from the sky, and Sonia's surprised voice rang in Zhao Futu's ears, "You haven't been infected with the werewolf virus!"

Even with a hint of blood on her, Sonia's expression remained cold and proud. She stood up after landing and, seeing that Zhao Futu was still in human form, was surprised! It was now the full moon, and since Zhao Futu had not transformed into a werewolf, he was undoubtedly not infected with the werewolf virus!

But if he wasn't infected with the werewolf virus, why did his wound heal so quickly?

Sonia was full of doubts, but when her gaze fell on the newborn baby on the ground, she was immediately stunned speechless.

The baby, no, now it should be called the werewolf king Lucien.

He didn't cry or fuss, using his tender hands to crawl on the ground, leaving a trail of blood, inching closer to the woman's ear. He gently licked her pale, delicate face with his tongue, his eyes like a young wolf that had lost its mother, gazing at her face, and making low whimpers. The moment he was born, the last bit of life force supporting the woman had disappeared, and by the time the newborn baby saw her face, she had already become a cold, lifeless corpse.

Lucien whimpered, whimpering like an adult, not the cry of a baby. Zhao Futu saw tears, like blood, fall from his eyes.

"Lucien..."

"The ancestor of the second generation of werewolves! Has the first true werewolf been born?"

"From his bloodline, will werewolves no longer be primitive beasts? Has a true wolf clan, a wise life form like vampires, been born?"

………………

Zhao Futu felt his long-undisturbed Dao heart fluctuate, as if a hard-to-describe emotion was stirring.

He turned to look at Sonia, who was already shocked speechless, and slowly bent down to pick up the woman, who had lost her life. Then, he pointed to the baby, who was whimpering and making wolf-like growls, and said slowly, "Take him to your father. He knows what to do with him."

After speaking,

Zhao Futu walked to the city wall and jumped down from the five or six-meter-high castle wall.

"Thud!"

The heavy landing sound made Zhao Futu's whole body tremble, and he felt a great pain in his feet, but it was not enough to threaten his digitized body.

He turned to look at the blood-red castle under the blood-red moon, seeing Sonia's cold and proud figure on the city wall, and the baby in her arms. Sonia did not chase after him but watched Zhao Futu's blood-stained, thin figure gradually disappear into the dark wilderness, until it was completely out of sight.

"It's almost time to return." Zhao Futu looked up at the sky.

There was not much time left before the 48 hours were up. He looked down at the cold, lifeless woman in his arms, gently placed her on the ground, and then pulled out the short sword from his waist, preparing to dig a hole to bury her.

But when his fingers touched the woman's sunken abdomen, his face showed a look of struggle.

In the end!

He softly said, "I'm sorry," and then used the short sword to cut open her abdomen. Inside, it was empty, and the woman's fetus had disappeared.

Zhao Futu was stunned.

For a long time.

For a very long time...

He sighed softly and began to dig a hole to bury the woman.

………………

Although, from this moment on, the newly born werewolf clan, under Lucien's bloodline, would be able to think and have emotions like humans, at this moment, in the woman's empty abdomen, the innate ferocity of the original werewolves was fully displayed! This moment also determined that even with human thoughts, they would still be werewolves...
