Story
At the end of the XXI century , a biotechnological laboratory accident occurred in the world in which they tried to create a super-soldier. As a result, part of the world's population became infected with the virus and mutated into hemophages with vampire fangs. The mysterious virus that acts on DNA has created a race of haemophage superhumans that are stronger, faster, and smarter than mere mortals. People started a war against hemophages, and so they had to go underground. The super-soldier Violet was also in this underground. Law enforcement agencies were not able to stop the infection and, due to the state of emergency on the planet, a world government was established.
Violet was instructed to steal allegedly human-made weapons against mutants. Using her superpowers, she alone on a motorcycle attacks the center ("Blood Bank"), where a superweapon is hidden that can destroy hemophages. However, the 9-year-old Sixth boy, a clone of Vice- Cardinal Ferdinand Daxus (President of the World) and a carrier of the virus dangerous for hemophages, is in the container. Violet delivers the boy to the base, but, in a fit of sentimentality , prevents him from being killed by hemophages.
From now on, she begins her own game, planning to create a vaccine that would return it to the world of people. Now she is being hunted by both special forces of the vice-cardinal and hemophages. Meanwhile, it turns out that the hemophages enter into a conspiracy with the vice cardinal, who in turn turns out to be a secret hemophage. In the laboratory of her loyal people, Violet learns that the boy is not dangerous for hemophages, but for the vice cardinal he has a mysterious value. Violet learns that the vice cardinal wants to increase his well-being through a new epidemic , the antidote from which he will sell for a lot of money. The boy is the key to these insidious plans. Violet also finds out that it was Daxus who in the past, working as a laboratory assistant, specially arranged an accident in the laboratory, in order to subsequently take advantage of the situation to head the world government. Saving the boy and destroying Daxus, Violet suddenly becomes the savior of mankind.
