Chapter 62: 62. Daylighter & Blood bank
A young man stood in front of a destroyed building at night. The surroundings were deserted and zombies from the surroundings were already approaching him.
'So they're not here huh. I wonder where they could be.' Dexter thought as he vanished from where he was, stunning the zombies.
He appeared on a tall building and he looked down at the city below.
'It's been two days since I left the previous camp. I still haven't reached level 20, I really need to find a high level creature.' Dexter sighed as he looked at the ring on his right hand.
'Let's see if she woke up.' Dexter thought before stretching his hand in front of him.
A blue portal made with swirling blue energy appeared and he entered into it.
He came out to see a vast grassland with nothing else but a big bed which had a canopy. Dexter furrowed his brows when he saw that the bed was empty and he looked around to look for the girl he left there.
'There's nothing else here, where could she go.' Dexter thought as his eyes darted around.
He saw something fast approaching him and upon closer look, it was Lily. But she looked a little different than before.
Dexter didn't move and just crossed his arms and she just hugged him making him sigh tiredly.
"Silly girl, I told you to follow the busses, but you came after me."
Lily stayed quiet and just hugged him so he sighed again and patted her head.
"You don't have to worry anymore. You're safe with me." Dexter said, and Lily nodded.
After a while of being like that Lily finally let go and looked up at him
"I feel different. My st... hmm... stats in the interface has increased too." Lily said with a confused expression and Dexter knew that he has a lot of explaining to do.
"Do you know what a vampire is?"
...
The ruined city was crawling with rogue creatures and zombies. The crescent moon shone brightly, giving off a natural vibe.
Atop one of the taller buildings in the city a blue portal appeared and two individuals stepped through.
"You can go to Heaven's tower now, right?" Dexter asked and Lily nodded.
"Hmmm..." He fell into deep thought.
"My interface doesn't show that I'm a vampire." Lily said, taking Dexter by surprise.
"Huh? Then what's there?"
"It says 'Daylighter'. There's also a few words in bracket. It says, 'Blessed by a child of the sun, you are not affected by the scorching sunlight'." Lily said and looked at Dexter and he sat on the floor and curled up his legs.
'How unfair. I that have the technique didn't get immunity but her...' Dexter thought as he sulked.
"Brother, did something go wrong?" Lily asked and Dexter just smiled at her.
"How much Heaven's tower points do you have?" He asked.
"I have... 680, and I got some for the titan, although I don't know why. I have 1680 points." She said.
'The points are still too little, she wouldn't be able to buy something good for herself.' He put a finger on his chin.
"You can enter and buy weapons and skills you like. Make sure to get a lot of items that give stat points." Dexter said and she nodded before heading back into the portal.
'Daylighter huh. So anyone I turn will become one. A vampire that isn't affected by the sun.' Dexter couldn't help but continue to think about it.
He stretched his hand towards the portal and dismissed it and he looked to the distance as he remembered there being something important for his survival around.
'Zombies blood doesn't satiate the thirst anymore. I need... human blood.' He thought as he looked towards the hospital that was a few hundred metres away.
Black smoke covered his body completely and vanished to reveal a fist sized bat which flew towards the hospital.
'I think bats have echolocation. Not sure if it applies to vampires.' Dexter thought. 'So do I just shout.'
The bat, Dexter, let out a squeak that was barely audible and his ears perked up as he heard loud stomping from below.
'A high level creature!' He thought and dived downwards to the location.
Flapping his big bat wings he stopped on a building and looked down to see a disgusting, obese zombie that was even more hideous than the one he fought at camp.
It was bigger and it was like a walking jelly as its belly vibrated with each step it took. However, this walking jelly caused the ground to shake as it walked.
'Let's just do this quick.' He dived down towards the creature from the building and the smoke appeared again, turning into his vampire form.
Lightning surrounded his body and he swung his fist downwards as he fell.
*BOOM!*
The zombie's head exploded as Dexter came in contact with it.
Dexter vanished before it's blood which is filled with fat could touch him and he appeared a couple of metres away from it.
[You have slayed level 17 monster zombie. You have gained 1,638,400 spirit points and 2030 Heaven's tower points.]
'Hm. At least I got spirit points.' Dexter nodded and then turned into a bat again and flew towards the hospital.
Dexter stopped in front and entered into it to see a hallway filled with zombies and he sent out a bolt of lightning which annihilated almost all of them and broke the wall at the other end.
"Level 7 to 10 huh." Dexter mumbled as he viewed all the notifications.
He walked into the hallway, checking out all the rooms and when he couldn't find the blood bank, he decided to head to the upper floors.
As he got to the higher floor he was ready to take on anything that was there but he was shocked when he went in to see an empty, quiet place.
'Huh? So empty?' He became alert.
A single zombie was not even in sight.
He suddenly sniffed the familiar scent of blood and he knew he was close.
Above him, two red eyes flashed on the ceiling and followed Dexter who went to search for things.
Soon after, Dexter reached in front of a room where the scent came from and he saw a big fridge inside which was powered by the hospital's auxiliary power.
As he was about to enter the room he heard a swooshing sound coming from above and he jumped backwards and them something fell in front of him.
