Chapter 208: 205. The inventor - Two-tailed fox
After that day, Dexter wanted to leave, but they had nowhere else to go. Not only was this camp very safe, but it was also filled with people who were ready to defend it anytime.
Currently, Kila was explaining to the people there what the supernatural is all about. She couldn't refuse as Dexter told her to do it.
"So, there are a lot of races, and they all have an advantage in this apocalypse. A lot of them are already at fourth class," Kila said, and the people there were all shocked.
They all had complex looks on their faces, and Dexter looked at them and sighed.
One of the guys there stood up. He had a lean, fit stature with tattoos and a side cut with his hair sideways, looking like a rockstar.
"We also want to grow stronger faster. We want to survive. You guys could turn us all into supernaturals. That way, we wouldn't face threats," the guy said, and the people around looked at themselves.
"It depends on the race. Vampires feed on blood, and lack of control turns us into monsters," Kila explained, but then she thought about what this guy in front of her said.
If Dexter were to turn every one of them into vampires, then he could have his own vampire army and even form his own coven of vampires.
She then looked at him.
Throughout her time with him, she knew the kind of person he was. He wasn't one to talk too much, and he loved his family. He didn't even like the company of too many people.
She didn't know how he would react if she told him this.
'I wonder if he would even consider this,' Kila thought, and then she left the people there who were filled with confusion.
The apocalypse that they were already finding hard to survive was actually even more dangerous than it was due to the presence of supernatural creatures.
As Kila walked towards Dexter, he went towards the storage house where he let the scientists go.
"Hey, Dexter," Kila called out to him, and they both walked together.
"So, I explained everything to them..." Kila looked at him.
Dexter only nodded.
"Good for them. Now they know that they aren't safe," Dexter said as he didn't want to bother himself with them.
"But have you thought of helping them?" Kila asked, and Dexter's brows raised as he looked at her.
He indeed did not even let the people get close to his mind as he wanted to just grow as strong as possible so that he could stop Hannah from being with Quan.
Thinking about it, he was like those MCs in novels that want to stop their lover's marriage with another random man.
And also, Hannah would have wanted him to help. But he couldn't in this situation...
"There's nothing I can do to help them," he replied with a flat tone.
Kila smiled as she expected that and nodded in understanding.
"How about you mass produce vampires?" Kila said with a grin, and Dexter looked at her in confusion.
"I mean, you could turn a lot of these people here. Make them stronger, faster, and more deadly. Plus, you get quite powerful with the more underlings you have," Kila said, and Dexter wasn't really interested in it.
"Why don't you turn them, then?" Dexter asked curiously as they entered the storage house and went through a door that led to a staircase downstairs.
"I can't. Not all vampires have the ability to. Only those that aren't bonded with the one who turned them can do it."
Hearing what Kila said, Dexter couldn't help but think about the skill he got to change people into vampires when he first became a true vampire.
If what Kila was saying is true, then...
"Then you're now connected to me?" he asked, and he received a nod from Kila.
"Your blood was so potent that it killed my original master's blood in me and replaced it with yours," she said with a smile, and Dexter shook his head.
"We'll talk about that later. Here." Dexter stretched forth his hand, and a beautiful rapier appeared in his hand.
Its red blade glimmered as the lights from the ceiling touched it, and the black handle made it look a bit demonic with the dark aura it was emanating.
Kila waved it around and nodded in satisfaction.
Soon, they got into the lab, and they saw the scientists arranging their things.
"I was wondering how you guys managed to get electricity running in this place," Dexter said to one of the scientists, and he stopped what he was doing.
"Ah, about that... Um..." The scientist looked hesitant to talk and looked at his comrades, but both of them ignored him, and he chuckled as he looked back at Dexter.
"It's better I show you," the man said before walking through the same hallway that Dexter came through when he was abducted.
"So, like a month ago, we encountered a humanoid creature with animal features and decided to study him. We later found out that he has quite the talent for inventing stuff, and we put him to good use," the scientist said, and they stopped by a strong door and opened it.
In it was a cage with a person curled up inside, seemingly sleeping.
Dexter observed the creature that was in it, and it indeed was exactly like a human but with two ears upon his head and two tails sticking out of his trousers.
"A tailed fox?" Kila looked shocked by what she was seeing.
"You know what it is?" Dexter asked, and she nodded.
"The fox race is not very numerous. They have extremely long lifespans and can live up to 100 millennia.
However, the more tails they get, the more powerful they get and the longer their life becomes. I've only seen one of them when I was still with the snow clan," Kila explained, and Dexter nodded.
"So, you guys made him create almost every electronic in the lab?" Dexter looked at the scientist, and he shivered before nodding slowly.
