Lahat ng Kabanata ng System Of Blood: To Crave Survival: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

CHAPTER 121Camryn's POVI raised the device. "Move.""Why? We're finally meeting properly. I've been watching you for months, you know. Ever since you found Eugene's device. I was curious to see what my dear sister would do with it.""I'm not your sister.""Aren't you? We share blood in two worlds. That's more than most siblings can claim." He tilted his head. "Though I suppose I did kill you once. Does that make family reunions awkward?""Get out of my way, Julian.""No, I don't think I will." He pulled something from his pocket, a small device that looked like a modified comm unit. "I need you to see something first. To understand what I've been building all these years."He pressed a button, and the walls around us lit up with projected images. Surveillance footage from across Lenore shows riots burning, anomalies manifesting, and people dying by the thousands. But the footage was organized and edited, showing specific patterns."Do you see it?" Julian asked. "The anomalies aren't

CHAPTER 123Camryn POV Julian looked at the machine with an adoring gaze. "I'm talking about creating something new. Something that transcends the weakness of humanity and the mindlessness of anomalies." He turned to face me. "You've seen what integrated anomalies can do. Fabian is Stage IV because he carries one inside him. Reginald survived House Blue's experiments because his body adapted to corruption. Integration isn't mutation; it's evolution.""Forced evolution. Taking away people's humanity without their consent.""Consent is a luxury in times of crisis. Lenore is dying, sister. Within two weeks, Intent levels will reach critical mass. The system will collapse completely. When that happens, only the strong will survive—those who adapted, who evolved, who became something more than human.""Or you could help us stop the collapse. Use your resources, your knowledge, and your influence to calm the Intent surge and break the feedback loop.""Why would I do that?" Julian asked gen

CHAPTER 125Camryn's POVThe next six hours were a comprehensive tour of Julian's operation.He showed me the recruitment process, how his agents identified potential volunteers in riot zones and desperate districts. How they offered hope to people who'd lost everything, promising power and survival in exchange for transformation.He showed me the training facilities where successfully integrated subjects learned to use their new abilities. Where former humans became living weapons, learning combat techniques and strategic thinking and how to function as a coordinated unit.He showed me the communications center where his people monitored the collapse in real-time, tracking anomaly manifestations and House responses and civilian casualties. Where they identified optimal intervention points to maximize chaos and accelerate the timeline."You're not just waiting for the collapse," I realized. "You're engineering it.""I'm helping it along," Julian corrected. "The collapse was inevitable

CHAPTER 127Camryn's POV The process continued for another thirty-six hours. I monitored Sarah's transformation, guided the integration, kept her consciousness stable even as her body became something no longer quite human. Julian supervised, offering advice and corrections, treating it like any other learning experience.By the time it finished, Sarah Mendez had become something new.She was conscious, coherent, and significantly more powerful than she'd been before infection. The grief that had been consuming her was now a tool she could wield, sensing emotional pain in others, manipulating sorrow, even inducing grief-based paralysis in targets.She was also no longer entirely human."How do you feel?" I asked when she was finally released from the containment pod."Different. Stronger. The pain is still there, but it's... useful now. Like I can do something with it instead of just drowning in it." She flexed her hands, watching corruption marks pulse with power. "I can feel everyo

CHAPTER 129Camryn's POV The uprising began at 1400 hours, exactly on schedule.Fabian had orchestrated it perfectly. House Red's vampire population in the eastern territories had been simmering with resentment for weeks, their blood harvesting territories disrupted by riots, their authority challenged by both Houses and civilians. All they'd needed was a spark.Fabian gave them several. A series of coordinated attacks on House Red administrative buildings, blamed on civilian protesters but actually executed by Fabian's loyalists. House Red responded with overwhelming force, which triggered genuine civilian resistance, which escalated into full-scale combat.Within two hours, the eastern territories were in open rebellion. Vampires fighting House Red forces. Civilians caught in the crossfire. Anomalies manifesting in unprecedented numbers, drawn by the concentrated Intent of thousands of people experiencing terror simultaneously.Julian watched it all from his command center, his exp
