The next morning...

After dozens of second-generation vampires left, several ancestors also returned to the city where their respective ethnic groups were located. At this time, only Chen Ze, Todd and Priscilla were left in the huge cliff palace.

After a moment of silence, Chen Ze waved to close the palace gate. When the stone gate closed, the hall suddenly became dark, and then a series of dark blue lights on the dome reflected down to illuminate the hall again.

"Todd, Priscilla..."

Chen Ze fell from the bronze throne, called them, and asked, "You said in the scroll that the American military and official personnel were studying the body and... they were still investigating us secretly. What is the specific situation now?"

"Father……"

After the two nodded in greeting each other, Todd thought for a moment and replied: "The body was transported to a secret base by the military half a month ago. We just blamed that we received the news too late. Although we know the approximate location of the base, it is almost impossible to remove it from it."

"Why should I take out the body?"

Chen Ze asked with a smile, and then said, "Since the core of the heart has been dug out, the corpse has no value at all. Do you think humans can still find the true secret of our clan from this incomplete corpse?"

"No." Todd shook his head with Priscilla.

"But my father..."

Priscilla shook her head and frowned slightly, saying, "The American military does seem to have found some clues from that corpse, otherwise they would not have started to secretly investigate the existence of our clan after this. And..."

"If they really get something deeper from that corpse, we'll be hard to deal with."

"Prishyla, you're thinking too much."

Chen Ze smiled and shook his head, saying, "Clues, haha... they probably can only limit themselves to clues. If they want to get more things, they are not qualified by their current methods."

Chen Ze can be said to be very confident in this regard. He knows very well that the deep secrets in the vampire's body are undoubtedly those elemental inscriptions and life inscriptions.

This is the crystallization of wisdom accumulated by countless generations of wizard civilization. With the current science and technology on Earth, it is even difficult to find these inscription traces loaded deep into the genes. It is even said that it is trying to analyze its principles.

"Um……"

Looking at Chen Ze's swearing look, Todd and Priscilla nodded with relative peace of mind.

"Father……"

After pondering for a moment, Todd opened his mouth and said, "But recently, the American military seems to have secretly increased its investigation efforts. They... they seem to be very eager to find us."

"Then have they found something?" Chen Ze asked.

“Not yet…”

Todd shook his head and responded: "After learning that the body of the descendant was taken away by the military, we immediately became alert, gathered the clan and ordered all the second generations, and the third generation of the blood clan stopped transforming the descendants during this period."

"But this is not a long-term solution after all, Father, I think we have to prepare for it."

"Of course you have to prepare."

Chen Ze nodded, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, and said, "It's not just us, at this time, the top leaders of the American military and official government have begun to make preparations."

"I will make arrangements as soon as possible and I will notify you as soon as possible, as for now..."

Chen Ze turned around and walked forward a few steps, his figure gradually faded in Todd and Priscilla's eyes, and finally said, "It's better to continue to implement your previous countermeasures."

After the words came, his figure disappeared without a trace in the hall.

…………

A few days later, a research institute at a military base in the United States...

Dozens of researchers wearing sterile experimental suits were scattered in every corner of the institute and in front of experimental instruments, each of whom was busy with the work they had on hand.

Among them, an elderly white researcher in his fifties and sixties was standing in front of a major instrument.

He stared at the electronic screen on the instrument, and kept tapping and operating it with his hands, while the screen was spread out to present a series of data formulas and some three-dimensional models.

After more than ten minutes, the old researcher finally stopped his hands.

"No progress..."

Taking a deep breath, he suddenly shook his head with annoyance and murmured: "It's still the same problem as before."

"What exactly restricts..."

"Dr. Wilson..."

Just as the old researcher scratched his head and muttered to himself, a soldier in a military uniform and anti-bacterial mask came to him and called him.

"Um……"

The old researcher who was immersed in his own world, Dr. Wilson, who was called a soldier, suddenly woke up, turned his head to look beside him, frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Col. Carlisle asked me to invite you out to see him." The soldier pointed his hand outside the door.

Dr. Wilson looked in the direction of his fingers, and through the glass door of the institute, he saw a middle-aged officer with two beards standing outside the door and looking at him.

"Yeah, I get it."

Dr. Wilson nodded and responded, then got up and took off his antibacterial suit and walked out of the door.

…………

"Dr. Wilson..."

As soon as he left the door, middle-aged officer Carlisle looked back at the busy researcher in the institute and asked directly: "What are the progresses in recent research?"

"I guess you've disappointed, Colonel Carlisle."

Wilson took off his mask, shook his head helplessly, and said, "The research has been stuck at the previous step. We have made almost no progress during this period."

"It's still stuck at that step..."

Carlisle frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Have you speculated what exactly caused it?"

"There were a few speculations..."

Wilson nodded and said, "You should also know that under normal circumstances, even if a certain creature loses its physical function and falls into death, the cells in its body will not completely lose their activity in a short period of time. However, this humanoid corpse that you call "vampire" is very different..."

"Its body cells were all in decline when you sent them, and we have not found the cause of the decline yet."

"During this period, we have also tried to use microcurrents to stimulate the cells of this organism, and wanted to activate cell activity again, but the result was not as we expected."

"So..." Colonel Carlisle spread his hands and motioned to him to continue.

"So we speculate..."

Wilson thought for a while and said, "Although the cells or genes of this kind of organism are similar to those of us humans, there are also great differences. It is precisely because of these differences that normal means do not work at all.

"When we cannot fully understand the genetic composition, subsequent cell and gene research is impossible to continue, so this is trapped in a vicious cycle. Of course, other than that..."

Seeing him suddenly stop, Carlisle hesitated and signaled again: "Dr. Wilson, please continue..."

"In addition to that, I have another guess..."

Wilson nodded and said, "I think the heart that was cut off by the corpse is likely to be the true core of this vampire. Once they lose their heart, they will die completely and their physical activity will completely disappear."

"Dr. Wilson, how much do you think your guess is based?" Carlisle asked.

"I don't know either."

Wilson shook his head and said, "But just find a surviving vampire to prove whether my guess is accurate."

"That is to say, your guess actually has no factual basis."

Carlisle smiled, muttered in his heart, but said, "Okay, I know the situation. Doctor, I will have something to bother you later..."

"I need to integrate the information and give you a backup?"

"Yes."

Carlisle nodded and said, "The upper class is very concerned about the vampire corpse and the corresponding research. I have to submit every new research data in time."

"I see."

Wilson expressed his understanding, turned around and opened the door of the institute, and said, "I have prepared the backup information in advance and I will give it to you immediately."

Carlisle responded softly and watched him walk in and pull out the USB drive on a computer.

A few minutes later, Carlisle, who had received the USB drive from him, immediately left the external hall of the institute and rushed to another place by car.
Chapter completed!
