In the following days, Du Mu and Blade teamed up to raid Fees's territory.
Blade was responsible for charging into battle and dealing damage, while Du Mu was in charge of finishing off enemies and securing kills, a clear division of labor.
As the number of Vampires they killed surged, their fearsome reputation spread like a plague throughout the entire Vampire community.
Some Vampires even gave them a resounding nickname—the Black & White Double-Kill!
Perhaps their actions were too high-profile.
Starting from the third day of their team-up, they noticed that the number of Vampires had significantly decreased.
Often, only a dozen or so Vampires were left guarding a territory, and at the slightest sign of trouble, they would immediately flee, abandoning their territory entirely.
After clearing out another almost empty territory, Du Mu finally received the system's prompt.
[Mission 'Ghost Sweeping Operation' settlement complete!]

[Player, do you want to skip the plot and start the next mission?]
There's a follow-up mission?
Du Mu didn't think much and chose to skip it directly.
[NPC Fury has issued you a new mission]
[Mission: Blood God Sacrifice]
[Objective: End the conspiracy of the Vampire leader, Dekeon Fisi]
[Rewards: 5000 Experience Points, S.H.I.E.L.D. Reputation +100, Random Skill 1, Random Equipment 2, Random Item *3]
Although it wasn't a main quest, the rewards were quite generous.
Just then, Blade had already tracked Dekeon Fisi's stronghold, so Du Mu immediately decided to set off with Blade.
The next morning.
According to intelligence, Du Mu and Blade arrived at a completely sealed private building.
The entire building was like a steel fortress; all windows were securely covered by heavy metal gates, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.
Du Mu looked at the building from a distance: "Are Vampires that rich?"
Blade snorted coldly: "There are many rich people who want to become Vampires."
The richer people are, the more they fear death, and for eternal life and youth, they are willing to pay any price.
Du Mu looked at Blade curiously: "Then why are you so poor?"
Blade: "..."
I am half-human, half-Vampire, a new species, not included!
Next, the two began to formulate a plan.
Their plan was simple: first, infiltrate the building, and then act as circumstances dictated!
It could be said to be a very rigorous plan!
Du Mu suggested: "To prevent Dekeon Fisi from escaping, you go in from downstairs, and I'll go in from upstairs. The two of us will surround the entire building."
Two people surrounding the entire building, that's cool, I like it!
Blade silently approved in his heart but then asked: "But how do you plan to get up there? This building is at least fifty stories high."
Du Mu didn't explain, he squatted down and pressed the switch on his new Gravity Boots, then moved to the edge of the building and stepped onto the vertical wall.
The next moment, Du Mu stood steadily on the wall as if he were walking on flat ground.
Blade was completely dumbfounded.
He hadn't studied; who could tell him if this was scientific?
With the help of the Gravity Boots, Du Mu easily reached the rooftop of the building. As soon as he peeked over, he heard an explosive burst of music. A group of Vampires were having a party around the swimming pool.
Du Mu was a bit speechless.
Do these Vampires have no other hobbies? Why are they always partying?
He pulled out a megaphone and shouted down: "Hello! Everyone, look at me! I have an announcement to make!"
All the Vampires instinctively looked up towards the edge of the rooftop, only to see half of Du Mu's head, and they were instantly dumbfounded.
This was the fiftieth floor; how did this guy climb up?
Before they could react, several cylindrical objects suddenly dropped among them.
"Shit! It's a flashbang!!"
Boom!!
A dazzling, intense light burst forth instantly!
The Vampires were caught off guard and flashed directly!
Although Vampires have strong self-healing abilities, being flashed like this was still quite severe; they were blinded, deafened, snot and tears flowed everywhere, and all of them instantly lost their ability to resist.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—!
Du Mu rolled off the platform, pulled out his golden desert eagle, and continuously fired at the Vampires, who were afflicted with various DEBUFFs!
He had already switched to silver bullets. A dozen Vampires had their heads blown open, turning into ashes and scattering in the wind on the spot.
The remaining Vampires frantically tried to grab their guns to counterattack, but they were still blinded. The bullets they fired either went somewhere unknown or hit their companions nearby, creating a chaotic scene.
Du Mu stood still, picking off the remaining Vampires one by one, leaving only the last one for questioning.
"Where is Dekeon Fisi?"
"Dekeon what?"
"Dekeon Fisi."
"What Fees?"
"..."
Bang!
Du Mu shot and killed the old Vampire.
It seemed he had overestimated the Vampire's self-healing ability; the deafness caused by the flashbang lasted for such a long time.
Du Mu opened the communicator by his ear: "This is Du Mu, I have successfully infiltrated the building. No one has discovered my whereabouts. Over."
"I've also infiltrated, um… no one has discovered my whereabouts either."
Blade's voice came from the other end of the communicator, along with a fierce sound of fighting.
Du Mu nodded: "Very good. Next, we'll split up and search for Fees's whereabouts."
Then, Du Mu found the stairwell and walked down the stairs.
Tap tap tap tap—!
Rapid and dense footsteps suddenly came from the end of the corridor. Dozens of fully armed Vampires appeared in sight.
Their equipment was excellent: they wore bulletproof helmets, bulletproof vests, and each was equipped with an automatic rifle. They looked like a professional team.
Seeing Du Mu's figure, this group of Vampires did not hesitate at all and immediately raised their guns!
Da da da da da—!
Flashes of fire erupted, and dense firepower surged towards Du Mu!
Du Mu performed a tactical roll and hid behind cover.
The Vampires were experienced; while maintaining continuous suppressive fire, they formed a tactical formation and steadily advanced towards the cover where Du Mu was hiding.
Just as they were about to approach the cover, a grenade suddenly flew out from behind a pillar, accurately rolling to the front of their team.
"Watch out for the grenade!"
A Vampire exclaimed.
However, the expected explosion did not happen.
With a hiss, the grenade released a large amount of thick yellow smoke, which spread rapidly in the enclosed corridor!
"Fuck! It's a concentrated garlic essence grenade!!"
The Vampires' expressions changed drastically, and they tried to retreat in terror.
But it was too late; the yellow garlic essence smoke, like maggots on a corpse, instantly engulfed them. Their bodies burst into flames, emitting heartbreaking screams, and then turned into a pile of ashes.
Vampires have extremely tenacious vitality, but at the same time, they are very fragile.
Even ordinary people, as long as they master weapons like garlic essence and pure silver, can easily instantly kill Vampires.
Not to mention Du Mu, a player, with absolutely counteracting weapons and equipment, it was almost like playing against AI.
After dealing with the Vampire armed forces, Du Mu searched the upper levels for Dekeon Fisi's traces, but unfortunately found nothing.
So, he contacted Blade again.
"Blade, how are things on your end? Any discoveries?"
"Yes, I found my deceased mother resurrected."
Du Mu: "???"
