Trickster Hunter

Chapter 188 Collapse

"Is this the name of the girl just now?" The fisherman couldn't help asking.

"Girl? Where is the girl?" Yano was stunned, and his eyes subconsciously swept towards the group of dazed hunters.

There are indeed women among this group of hunters, but they are all around 30 or 40 years old. Women in this age range should not be called "girls"...

"Look, there." The fisherman pointed to the mummy lying on the pile of bones.

"Ah... this person should have been dead for a long time, right?" Yano asked in confusion, "Strange, why are all the other bodies only bones left, but the body tissues of this body are preserved by the wind? Is there something special about it?"

"Just three minutes ago, this mummy was still a living beautiful girl." The fisherman pointed to the broken jar in the air, "She was soaked in that jar, but then I don't know what happened, the jar suddenly cracked, she fell down, and became like this in a few seconds."

"This jar... is a CL 08 life support device!" Yano narrowed his eyes, "No, it's 06... The 08 was still in the trial stage back then, and by the time it was mass-produced, the nameless island had already been abandoned... Her sudden death may be due to the life The life support device is damaged..."

"It's not possible that a living person can turn into a mummy in just one second, right?" The fisherman exclaimed, "Besides, this life support device seemed to be broken when we came in. The cables and pipes below have been cut off long ago."

"In fact, even if the life support device is intact, it would be unusable after more than a hundred years." Yano walked to the pile of bones and looked at the mummy with a serious expression, "This antique life support device does not have the function of self-filtration and self-purification. The filling liquid inside is a substance called "artificial serum". This thing must be replaced once a week to ensure the normal operation of the device... In the past hundred years..."

"Will this "artificial serum" evaporate immediately when it touches the air?" The fisherman asked again.

"Of course not, will the blood in your body evaporate immediately after it flows out?" Yano asked back.

"Then you may be wrong. The jar should not contain artificial serum, because the jar just broke and the liquid evaporated in just a few seconds after it spilled, leaving no trace."

"Well...it is also possible that the artificial serum has undergone unknown changes due to its age...It is also possible that it was affected by a strange object-by the way, since this "girl" was previously immersed in a life support device, she should be an experimental subject, right?"

"That's right, since she is an infected person...then all the unreasonable places are reasonable." Fisherman Muttered, "This girl is probably over a hundred years old. Judging by her age, it's not too much to call her our great-grandmother..."

Hearing the fisherman say this, Sun Hang couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "You call her great-grandmother... then you have to call me great-grandmother...ah...great-grandfather?"

Although there is a feeling of blood connection, Sun Hang does not have much affection for his fleeting cheap daughter. The only thing he feels sorry for is that he finally got to the truth of his life experience, but in the end it was ruined by the damn three monkeys.

"It's not time yet... Then when will it be time?"

"Speaking of which, what should we do with these people? Just leave them here?" The fisherman walked over and patted Sun Hang's arm, looking at the absent-minded monster hunters, "I don't know what the situation is at sea. If the Yamata no Orochi is still near the island..."

Before he finished speaking, a mountain of bones suddenly shook twice, and half of a broken skull rolled down from the top of the mountain, accompanied by a crisp knocking sound, and rolled to Sun Hang's feet.

"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel like the ground just shook?" The fisherman looked up and saw that the only remaining metal cover of the glass jar was shaking back and forth under the beam.

"It's not an illusion, I felt it too!" Yano had just finished speaking when a more violent shaking came from above, and several mountains of bones collapsed instantly, and countless broken bones scattered!

"Earthquake?!" The fisherman's eyes widened, "This place shouldn't be in an earthquake zone, right?!"

"It's not an earthquake!" Yano's face tightened, "It's... it's the institute's self-destruct device! In order to maintain absolute confidentiality, a large amount of explosives were pre-buried in the load-bearing structures of the institute. Once an enemy invaded and could not resist, the institute's garrison would immediately detonate these explosives... While destroying the enemy together, the confidential documents were completely buried... According to the records of the Tianshu Tower, the institute's self-destruct device was activated once that year, but the explosives were not successfully detonated..."

"It seems that the explosion was delayed for more than a hundred years, waiting for us?!" The fisherman turned and ran to the door, "Why are you still standing there? Run! Run out before this place collapses completely, maybe you can still survive!"

Yano looked at the distracted monster hunters with some reluctance, and ran out without saying anything.

Sun Hang followed closely behind.

"We can't run up!" Yano shouted loudly, "It's too late to run up. We will be buried alive by the landslide before we reach the ground!"

"Where should we run?"

"Go to the third underground floor!" Yano said, "There is an escape passage to the outside world!"

"Leading to the outside world? Where?" the fisherman asked hurriedly.

"In the sea!"

"Can you dive?" The fisherman turned his head and looked at him, "I have no problem, but what are you two going to do?"

The depth of the third underground floor of the Wuming Island Research Institute is 300 meters below sea level, and the exit of the underwater escape passage is about 270 meters below sea level - and the record of human diving without equipment is only a little over 100 meters.

The average depth of the sea area where Wuming Island is located was only about 20 meters, but in a battle against sea beasts more than 100 years ago, the seabed of this sea area collapsed severely, causing this coastal area only a few hundred kilometers away from the mainland to become a deep sea with a depth of more than 500 meters.

It is for this reason that a behemoth like the Yamata no Orochi can sneak into this sea area without anyone noticing.

"The escape passage should be equipped with a deep diving suit!" Yano said.

"That thing has been there for over a hundred years, are you sure it still works?!"
