Trickster Hunter

Chapter 185 Bone Mountain

Although the large-scale heat radiation devices in various residential areas of Tianfu City have begun to operate, as the eternal night continues, the average outdoor temperature in the urban area still falls below the zero mark.

Yang Lian shivered when she opened the door and subconsciously shrank her neck - it was urgent. In addition to the down jacket she had just put on, she was only wearing a thin nightgown. The bone-chilling coldness instantly poured in from the collar and hem, making her want to retreat indoors.

"It's a bit cold outside." Yang Lian whispered, her teeth chattering and making some slight knocking sounds, "Do you want to change into thicker clothes?"

"It's not a big problem. I have received rigorous cold-resistance training in Siberia. This temperature is nothing to me." Ye Xuan said. She only wore a thin investigator uniform over her pajamas. Compared with Yang Lian's long down jacket with the hem dragging below her knees, Ye Xuan's legs were exposed to the cold air, and her fair skin was slightly reddened by the cold.

Yang Lian glanced at the two closed fire doors in the elevator room, then at the locked windows, walked barefoot to the elevator door and pressed the button.

In order to prevent the white shadow from noticing that this was a trap set up specifically to trap it, the closest monster hunter to Ye Xuan was set two hundred meters away. It would take about half a minute to rush over at the fastest speed. In this case, the field operators on standby in the same building became the last line of defense to protect the two.

The residents of Building 13 had been evacuated in advance. The only people still living here, apart from Yang Lian and Ye Xuan, were the elite field agents who were on high alert.

But now, all these agents have lost contact.

Yang Lian was sure that this was definitely not a communication problem - because they could still contact the headquarters, but neither the headquarters nor they could contact the agents in the same building.

"If that strange creature can really obtain the memory of its prey by feeding on the human brain, then our ambush plan may have been exposed." Ye Xuan's tone was full of regret, "It will be even more difficult to catch it next time."

"Six armed groups, more than 40 people, lost contact at the same time... Was this really done by that white shadow?" Yang Lian's heart was filled with uneasiness and doubts, and she kept scanning the surroundings until the elevator that arrived at their floor made a crisp "ding" sound.

The elevator door opened, and a strong smell of blood suddenly hit her nose!

In the elevator lay a half-cut body, the part above the waist was gone, the cut was smooth and neat, even the pistol in the holster was cut in two.

Judging from the uniform and equipment worn by the body, it was obviously a member of the field team, and the sticky blood flowed and dripped from the gap of the elevator door.

"That guy is already taking action." Ye Xuan said solemnly, "We are still a step slower."

"What should we do now? Should we return to the room, or..." Yang Lian asked.

"The elevator is rising from the bottom, which means that the guy should be downstairs now." Ye Xuan said, "Take the elevator, let's go to the top floor! Let the headquarters send a helicopter to support!"

The two walked into the elevator, just like that, stepping barefoot on the sticky and slippery plasma... Yang Lian covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and pressed the button to the top floor with the other hand.

...

...

Nameless Island, ruins of the research institute, underground second floor, experimental area

The cursed Indian hunter turned another corner and ran towards a more densely built block.

His running posture was very different from that of humans - at first he was still running on his feet, but later he had become a person lying on the ground, crawling on all fours like a beast.

To be precise, it can't be considered crawling, but relying on the explosive power of the "hind limbs" to continuously jump short distances... It is hard to imagine how much pressure this guy's spine has endured during this tens of seconds of chasing.

There were spots of blood on the ground, which were left by his palms being rubbed by the ground. Several times he had run out of the sight of Sun Hang and the fisherman, but the two of them relied on the blood on the ground to catch up with him again.

"Damn, this guy can run too fast!" The fisherman complained while panting, "This has broken the short-distance record of the infected sports meeting, right?"

"Didn't you notice something?" Sun Hang asked suddenly.

"What's the matter?" The fisherman wiped the sweat from his face. "There are too many things I haven't discovered. Big brother, you don't need to ask, just tell me directly."

"After we passed through the tunnel and entered the experimental area, the red light that guided us disappeared."

"Huh?!" The fisherman was stunned. "Really! If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed it at all! Damn, it's all because of this guy who attracted my attention!"

"No, don't blame him." Sun Hang shook his head. "If I'm not mistaken, he is the guide that replaces the red light."

"Ah? Him? Uh cough cough cough cough——" The fisherman couldn't help but open his mouth wide, but the next second he was out of breath and started coughing violently.

...

Finally, the Indian hunter stopped in front of a building that looked like a large factory. He turned his head and looked at Sun Hang and the fisherman who were chasing him with his bloodshot eyes, then knocked open the half-closed door and went in.

"It seems to be here." Sun Hang nodded to the fisherman.

He could feel the breath of several infected people inside the building. In addition, there was a very weak breath that made him extremely familiar.

The breath of the same blood.

"Will there be an ambush?" The fisherman asked again.

"No."

"How do you know?"

"Intuition?"

"Intuition?! Or should we be more cautious..."

Before the fisherman could say the "point" of "be more cautious", Sun Hang had already walked up and pushed the heavy door open completely.

Sun Hang finally knew why they couldn't see a single corpse of the staff on the island all the way here.

Bones, countless bones, spread out layer upon layer on the ground... These bones piled up to form a mountain of bones more than one person high, and the missing hunters sat quietly between the mountains of bones, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The fear and madness on the face of the Indian hunter who was chased here by Sun Hang and the fisherman also disappeared, as if all his emotions were absorbed by some unknown existence as soon as he entered here - he staggered to a mountain of bones, then fell to the ground, and completely stopped breathing.
