After seeing off the two police officers who had gotten a major merit for nothing, the others remained where they were. Black Super was operating the Blood Ranch's control computer, searching for internal leads.
Perhaps the Vampires had extremely strong cybersecurity awareness. The computers here only used a local network and were not connected to the outside world. That was why, no matter how skilled Black Super was at hacking, he had been unable to locate this place.
Now that he had gotten inside, failing to search the computer for clues about the Vampires would have been a waste of all the time he had spent honing his hacking skills.
Unfortunately, aside from controlling the entire life-support system and blood-drawing equipment, the operating system contained no additional research data. Nor, as Uncle Rogers had said, could they use the vegetative patients here for reproduction to breed blood livestock. That was probably an upgraded feature added later. This Blood Ranch was not yet capable of doing such a thing.
Everyone here was disposable. Before being killed, each person could produce seventy to a hundred pints of plasma, roughly thirty-three to forty-seven liters. Once their blood production rate dropped noticeably, all the blood in their bodies would be drained at once. Then they would be discarded and replaced with new blood livestock, imprisoned in this hellhole.
But saying there had been no gains at all would have been a lie. The designer of this system was Umbrella, the lunatic company that would later create the T-virus and a whole series of zombies and monsters, then try to weaponize them.
...So the researchers who collaborated with a Vampire elder in 2002 to create the new Reaper Vampires had belonged to Umbrella's team?
They really did love playing with infectious monsters.
