My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

并且1号区域的血矿并没有2号区那么丰富，根据已知的情报记载，1号区域只有1座血矿脉，而2号区却有3座。

Therefore, regardless of the reason, occupying District 2 and driving out Innis and Denise is imperative.

Chapter 261 No Man's Land

At the Meor base at the No. 1 dock, only a small number of troops protect the first adventurers to arrive on the island.

These adventurers all possessed certificates issued by the state; some were geologists, some were writers, and others were navigators. They were a valuable asset to the nation.

Therefore, even if they themselves were to die in battle, these soldiers had to protect these people.

When these soldiers saw the signs of Meor and Toredo on the sea, everyone was moved to tears.

"Our reinforcements have arrived! Our reinforcements have come!!!"

Meor's soldiers cheered and waved towards the sea; they had received a telegram to welcome the first reinforcements.

However, the ship stopped 500 meters from the dock before it even approached it.

Lin Mo and Ye Zimo noticed the situation on the island at the same time. Although the soldiers who were welcoming them were all wearing neat black uniforms, they all had gunshot wounds on their bodies or heads.

Some people had a gaping hole in their heads, some had cuts in their chests, and some had their arms hanging off their shoulders.

Their faces were as pale as old newspapers, and their eyes were cloudy.

It appears that he has been dead for at least three or four days.

At least in appearance.

But none of them seemed to realize this fact, and stiff smiles appeared on their faces.

It looked as if a group of zombies were laughing and crying, eagerly awaiting the approach of the warship.

The observer, who was watching through binoculars, immediately informed General Luton of the horrific scene unfolding at the port.

Luton took the binoculars, carefully examined the situation on the dock, and frowned.

"All troops on high alert! Retreat immediately! Withdraw one nautical mile!"

The fleet immediately retreated as instructed by the general. The soldiers on the warships nervously picked up their weapons, lined up, and stood ramrod straight with their guns at the ready.

As the warships retreated, Tremblay ordered the pirate fleet to change direction and move away from Area 1.

The officer in charge of welcoming the reinforcements paced anxiously on the dock. He didn't know what was wrong, why the reinforcements were not advancing but retreating instead.

Jerry asked nervously, "Uncle Luton, why are we backing away?"

"Damn the Innis, they used the Ancestral Artifact V-012 in Area 1!"

Luton gripped the binoculars tightly and cursed angrily.

Ye Zimo cast a questioning look at Luton, hoping he would continue to explain.

Ruhr swallowed hard and, on behalf of his father, explained to Ye Zimo:

"V-012 is called the Curse of Immortality. This name does not mean that it will grant immortality, but rather that it will infect people with the M virus. Although the body dies, the consciousness does not die, and the person may not even remember that they are dead. The deceased will continue to live according to their own will, just as if they were alive. They will not be aware of any abnormalities in their bodies."

"During the war four years ago, Major General Yud of Innis used V-012 to turn an entire state into a graveyard for the living dead, just to test the power of V-012."

Lin Mo recalled the records in the old newspapers. Although Ye Zimo had chosen newspapers from within the last three years, the impact of the event was so great that even a year later, war commentators were still writing about it.

That incident is also known as the Denisean Shame because Denisea is located in the heart of Denisea, and the fact that the heartland was turned into a no-man's-land is enough to demonstrate the government's incompetence.

The Nissas incident resulted in the deaths of 2 million people, all of whom were later burned alive. Yud became famous for this battle, and V-012 is known as one of the most terrifying Ancestral Artifacts.

People cursed by V-012 will carry the M virus, which can be transmitted through the air or through human contact. If one dock is infected, the entire population of Island 1 can be infected within half a month.

Therefore, Luton's first decision was to retreat.

Only a raging fire can completely kill the M virus. At the same time, all those carrying the virus must be killed, and the entire island must be burned and disinfected before landing can continue.

Luton convened an emergency meeting, attended by generals, lieutenant generals, major generals, and the third-generation leaders of Torido, as well as Ye Zimo.

“We were just about 500 meters apart. To prevent us from getting infected, we must first disinfect everyone.”

"Shikov said."

"The purification of 6 people will require at least a week of non-stop work."

Ruhr touched the purification ring on his hand. It was an ancestral artifact that originally belonged to Queen Betty. On the eve of Ruhr's departure for war, Betty lent it to her brother Ruhr.

"We must do it immediately, starting with the key figures."

Luton realized the seriousness of the matter.

Purification can only be used on living people. Once someone dies and becomes a living dead, the purification spell can no longer be used.

Ruhr nodded.

"Island No. 1 cannot be left standing. It must be covered by artillery fire and burned to ensure our safety afterwards."

The portly lieutenant general said solemnly.

"What about our scholars and adventurers? They were the first to arrive at the archipelago and still have a lot of clues that we don't know about."

Luton objected, saying that Meyer placed great importance on the human rights of scholars.

“That’s right, we must confirm whether they are all dead. If any of them are still alive, we can use purification magic to bring them back.”

Jerry also shared his thoughts; he has a tutor who is also among these scholars.

The tutor was Jerry's favorite teacher; he was a learned geography professor.

"Given the current situation, who would dare to go ashore to investigate?"

Luton asked, and the conference room suddenly fell silent.

The group looked at each other in silence, none of them wanting to contract the virus.

"I'll go."

Ye Zimo said calmly.

"Son of Gold".

Luton looked at Ye Zimo gratefully; only the immortal body of the Son of Gold would dare to go at a time like this.

“But there is only one purification ring. I must purify our army first and cannot go with you.”

Ruhr said hesitantly.

Ye Zimo nodded slightly: "It's alright, I'll go check the situation first. If there are any survivors, I'll bring them back. If not, then you can begin the artillery barrage plan."

"May the progenitor Cain bless you."

The officers nodded respectfully to Ye Zimo.

"If they all unfortunately perish, please be sure to bring back their valuable data."

Luton said with a serious expression.

Ye Zimo's face remained expressionless. She stood up and left the meeting ahead of schedule.

"We won't get infected with this virus, will we?"

Lin Mo asked.

"Actually, as long as you don't die, there's no need to be afraid of this virus. The vampires in this world have been greatly weakened, and their bloodline has become so diluted that it's almost indistinguishable from humans. But I'm different. I won't die, and this virus has no effect on me."

Ye Zimo explained.

Lin Mo felt that Ye Zimo's words made a lot of sense, and he knew the purification magic himself, so he didn't even need the Ancestral Spirit Artifact Purification Ring.

Chapter 262 The Anomaly in Area 1

Lin Mo and Ye Zimo traveled in a small lifeboat until they arrived at the port of Island No. 1.

The officers and soldiers who were waiting for reinforcements at the dock saw the Torredo insignia on Ye Zimo's body and their eyes were filled with confusion.

"Why was only one noble lady sent?"

Why aren't the reinforcements coming ashore? Why are they retreating instead?

The soldiers chattered amongst themselves, saying that the colonel was a tall, middle-aged man with a hunchback.

The colonel first turned around and used a sharp look to stop the soldiers' discussion, then turned back and grasped Ye Zimo's hand:

"Honorable lady, are you here alone?"

"We encountered pirates at sea, and our army is currently engaged in battle with their forces. We will be landing later."

Lin Mo spoke on behalf of Ye Zimo, mainly to appease the emotions of the deceased.

"I see. May I ask your name?"

"Lilith."

Ye Zimo replied.

"Miss Lilith, are you the Son of Gold?"

The colonel was overjoyed. He had already received a telegram saying that the Son of Gold would be coming with a large army, and the Son of Gold's name was Lilith.

But he never imagined that Lilith would be such a young and beautiful young lady.

The soldiers' faces also showed surprise. Although they were dead, their expressions were still very rich, just as rich as when they were alive.

Looking at their surprised faces, Lin Mo felt a strange sense of absurdity.

In fact, if Lin Mo were to use a purification spell on them now, they could completely burrow into the earth.

But the timing wasn't right yet. They needed this group to guide them to the base, find the scholars, and the materials they had left behind.

"We, Meor, have a golden child now! The golden child has come to see us!"

"Miss Lilith has come to see us!"

The soldiers cheered with immense excitement.

They came to participate in the war in order to win. The Son of Gold was undoubtedly a sign of victory. There have been legends about the Son of Gold over the years. Innes has produced several Sons of Gold, so its territory has been expanding.

It's finally Meor's turn!

They were very excited; it was a kind of democratic patriotism. Even though they were dead, they were still very excited.
