Trickster Hunter

Chapter 216 Devouring

"Do you cook it every day? Noodles with soybean paste?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"If you want to eat other food, I can cook it too." Zhong Ling said, "But you have to apply for some fresh ingredients from the material allocation department in advance... The things in your refrigerator are too monotonous."

It has to be said that this is a very tempting proposal.

Although Sun Hang is not a foodie, who would be willing to eat frozen fast food every day if there is fresh and hot food to eat?

"I suddenly remembered the story of the snail girl." Sun Hang glanced at Zhong Ling, whose eyelids drooped slightly. She did not look at Sun Hang, but just silently picked up the noodles with chopsticks, put them into her mouth, and chewed them in small bites.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed. Perhaps it was too much for her to lift the heavy wok in the kitchen with one hand.

With the snail girl taking care of the cooking task, Sun Hang took on the task of washing dishes very consciously... Anyway, he only needed to collect the dishes and chopsticks together, throw them into the dishwasher and press the switch.

"By the way, where's your mother?" Sun Hang glanced at Zhong Ling, who was standing in front of the refrigerator in a daze, and asked a question that sounded a bit like cursing, "Is it lying in those coffins like the other skeletons?"

"She's on the roof." Zhong Ling replied.

Sun Hang looked up at the ceiling - although the breath concealment ability of the No. 001 skeleton is not as good as that of No. 005, it still has a strong concealment. At this distance, Sun Hang couldn't detect any breath belonging to it.

"She shouldn't sneak into my bedroom in the middle of the night to give me a claw?" Sun Hang muttered.

"No." Zhong Ling shook his head.

"That's good." The dishwasher made a slight ding sound, and Sun Hang opened the cabinet door, took out the dishes that had been washed and dried, and put them back on the dish rack.

"Do you like drinking?" Zhong Ling suddenly asked.

"Ah? Why do you ask this?" Sun Hang was slightly startled. "Oh...you mean the wine in the refrigerator? I didn't put it there. It was all Lao Wang's work. She likes to drink and always asks me to drink with her...but I still prefer carbonated drinks."

"Lao Wang?"

"Wang Xiyi, a registered hunter in Tianfu City, codenamed 'Night Fury'." Sun Hang explained, "That's the guy who crushed Chimera No. 17 in the video."

"You...live together?" Zhong Ling's facial expression seemed to become a little stiff.

"No, she lives next door, but she often comes to my house to drink when she's free." Sun Hang said, "After all, there were only two hunters left in Tianfu City at that time, and no one lived in this villa area."

"Oh." Zhong Ling nodded slightly, her expression slightly relieved.

After a while, she took out two cans from the refrigerator, walked in front of Sun Hang, and handed one over.

"Want to drink?" Zhong Ling asked.

Sun Hang took a look and saw that the girl had chosen the highest alcohol content sparkling blended wine in the refrigerator. He had just drunk a can of this stuff. If he drank another can, his head would probably start to feel dizzy.

Although Sun Hang had the ability to sober himself up, it was just a thought... but no one could guarantee that before he sobered up, he would not take advantage of this drunkenness to do something he would not do when he was sober.

You know, her mother was still squatting on the roof...

"This stuff has a high alcohol content. Are you sure you want to drink it?" Sun Hang asked.

"I want to try it." Zhong Ling whispered.

"Then drink it." Sun Hang put the can of wine in his hand on the cutting board.

He didn't say he wanted to drink it.

"Don't you want to drink it?"

"No, drinking will delay things." Sun Hang shook his head, "I have important things to do these two days."

"But didn't you drink two cans before?" Zhong Ling pointed to the cans in the trash can.

"So I can't drink the third can." Sun Hang pulled out a garbage bag from the side and stuffed it into Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling looked at him in confusion.

"If you vomit, remember to vomit in the bag. The sweeping robot can't handle vomit." Sun Hang said seriously.

"..."

"How can someone who doesn't know how to drink try a 67-degree liquor right away?" Sun Hang took the wine can from Zhong Ling's hand, walked to the refrigerator and replaced it with a can of low-alcohol fruit wine for her, "I recommend you drink this, it tastes similar to juice, a little bit of alcohol, when I drank with Lao Wang before, I liked this the most. And the thing you chose, only senior alcoholics like Lao Wang would like it."

Zhong Ling took another look at the two cans in the trash can, opened the can of fruit wine, and sipped it carefully. In a few seconds, a strange blush appeared on her face, and her eyes began to become a little blurry.

"No way?" Sun Hang looked at Zhong Ling in astonishment.

He thought that this girl might not be able to drink very well, but she shouldn't get drunk easily, right?

"I feel... a little... dizzy." Zhong Ling said softly.

"Luckily you didn't drink 67% alcohol." Sun Hang complained, "You can't even walk, and you're thinking about pole vaulting?"

He snapped his fingers, and Zhong Ling's gradually rising drunkenness instantly disappeared without a trace.

"Is this also your ability?" Zhong Ling naturally noticed something unusual and asked Sun Hang.

"That's right, but I still suggest you stop drinking it." Sun Hang said, "I'll tell the material distribution department tomorrow and ask them to send some juice and milk."

Zhong Ling didn't say anything. Just when Sun Hang was about to turn around, she suddenly grabbed the can of sparkling wine on the coffee table, pulled the tab and took a big gulp.

Then, she fell straight down.

Fortunately, there was a thick plush carpet next to the coffee table, otherwise Sun Hang estimated that Zhong Ling would suffer a concussion from the fall.

"This saves trouble."

Sun Hang picked up the drunk Zhong Ling and threw her on the bed in the guest bedroom.

He just turned around and walked out for two steps. After thinking about it, he went back and found a new, unused quilt from the cabinet and covered Zhong Ling's body.

As soon as he turned around, he found that Skeleton No. 001 was already standing quietly at the door of the guest bedroom, staring at him faintly.

"Uh, please give in." Sun Hang made a gesture to the corpse to step aside.

Guigui obediently stepped aside and watched Sun Hang walk out of the guest bedroom and follow the stairs to the second floor.

…

…

the next day.

Sun Hang, who was wearing pajamas and pajamas, had just walked out of the master bedroom when he smelled the aroma of food coming from the direction of the kitchen.

"I feel like having breakfast as soon as I wake up...it seems not bad." Sun Hang muttered in a low voice and walked slowly to the first floor.

Zhong Ling, wearing heat-proof gloves, brought two plates to the dining table. One plate contained toast slices, fried bacon and butter pudding, while the other plate contained fragrant fried dumplings, which were also wrapped in Golden eggs and emerald green onions - Western and Chinese breakfasts are put together to make a difference in an instant.

"There aren't many usable things in the refrigerator, so let's make do with it." Zhong Ling took off his insulated gloves and handed a pair of chopsticks and a fork to Sun Hang.

"It's too easy... it's too Versailles." Sun Hang rubbed his hands and was about to start, but the next second he noticed that Zhong Ling's face looked very bad, and he would rub his forehead and temples with his fingers from time to time. Location.

"Hehe." Sun Hang chuckled, "I told you not to drink, but if you don't listen, the hangover feels very uncomfortable, right?"

"I'm fine." Zhong Ling said with a sullen face, pulled out a chair, sat down, and rolled up a piece of bacon with a fork.

"The dumplings are good." Sun Hang very unconventionally used a Western-style fork to fork a dumpling into his mouth and said while chewing, "This should be the uneaten package of frozen dumplings... I didn't expect it. This stuff tastes so good fried.”

"You shouldn't use a fork to eat dumplings," Zhong Ling reminded.

"Is there any difference?" Sun Hang glanced at the fork in his hand, "It'll be fine if it's easy."

"There is no soup in quick-frozen dumplings, so there is no difference." Zhong Ling said seriously, "But authentic fried dumpling fillings should be filled with aspic made of stock and lard. When fried, the aspic will melt into The soup, if you pierce the dumpling wrapper with a fork, the soup inside will leak out.”

"Master, you are right." Sun Hang said to Zhong Ling with his fists in his hands, "I am being rude."

Sun Hang cleared up all the dozens of fried dumplings on the plate in three strokes. Just when he was about to pour a glass of water, the cell phone placed aside suddenly rang.

The call was from Yang Qi, and the first sentence after the call was answered: "Sun Hang, the preparations have been completed, and the time is set at 2:00 this afternoon."

"So soon?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment, "I thought it would take two days."

"I know you are in a hurry, so I worked overtime with my colleagues all night last night." Yang Qi's tone showed a hint of exhaustion, "If you have no problem, I will send a car to pick you up when we get to the club."

"There's nothing wrong with me, but there shouldn't be any problem with you, right?" Sun Hang asked, "Be careful not to die suddenly..."

"It's not a big problem. It was common for me to stay up all night when I was doing my graduation project." Yang Qi said, "By the way, is Zhong Ling at your place?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"We will bring her with us later," Yang Qi said. "If you fail, we will immediately switch to plan B."

"Is plan B to transform Lao Wang into a trick weapon?" Sun Hang asked.

"Well, but if Plan B doesn't work, there is Plan C..." Yang Qi stopped mid-sentence.

"Harmless treatment?"

"……Um."

"Okay, I understand." Sun Hang responded, "Is there anything else?"

"No more." Yang Qi suddenly said again, "By the way, Sun Hang..."

"What?"

“If something can’t be done, don’t force it.”

"In my memory, you seem to have said this to me many times."

"But you don't listen every time..." There was a hint of anger and complaint in Yang Qi's tone, "This time, please don't mess around."

"Okay, okay." Sun Hang promised, "I will not mess around."

"Really?" Yang Qi still didn't believe it.

"real!"

…

…

1:55 pm, 160 kilometers west of Tianfu City, No. 0 Test Site.

The huge ravine created by the movement of Longyan Barrier has been filled in. Hundreds of modular buildings have formed a large circle with a radius of two kilometers. In the middle of the circle, there is a bowl-shaped glass cover. .

Sun Hang, who was wearing heavy protective clothing, was standing inside the glass cover. Yang Qi, Zhulong, Zhong Ling and other staff of the institute were standing outside the glass cover, watching everything inside the cover solemnly.

There is also a huge "coffin" inside the glass cover with Sun Hang.

Countless pipes and cables connected this huge coffin, covering the ground inside the glass cover and extending to the outside of the cover.

"The pressure of valves one to six is ​​normal." The operator's voice came through the glass cover, "The pressure inside the containment container is decreasing, and it is expected to be the same outside in twenty-five seconds."

"The liquid nitrogen is being extracted, please always pay attention to changes in the target infection process."

"The extraction pump operates normally, the pressure coefficient drops normally, and the target state remains stable."

"After the liquid nitrogen is extracted, the target infection process begins to accelerate, but it is still within the expected value."

"Containment container ready for disassembly, three, two, one."

A dozen robotic arms surrounding the "coffin" moved in an orderly manner, dismantling the huge "coffin" piece by piece - this "coffin" is actually an outer part used to transport permanently frozen coffins. The container is used to replace the liquid nitrogen pool in the underground containment facility during transportation.

All the liquid nitrogen in the coffin has been removed, and the appearance of the permanently frozen coffin has been revealed bit by bit.

Sun Hang walked slowly and stood in front of the eternally frozen coffin.

"The infection process is accelerating again, please hurry up!"

"The permanent frozen coffin will be opened in five seconds." Yang Qi's voice sounded in Sun Hang's headphones, "Sun Hang, be ready!"

"Yes." Sun Hang nodded and gave a thumbs up to the people outside the glass cover.

"Crack!" A burst of white smoke spurted out from the gap in the frozen coffin. The next second, the lid of the frozen coffin was torn apart, completely exposing Wang Xiyi lying inside.

"The target body temperature is rising rapidly! The infection process is greatly accelerated! It is approaching the dangerous threshold!"

"Quick! Start absorbing immediately!"

"Sun Hang!"

The protective suit Sun Hang was wearing was specially made - it was not completely enclosed, but had small holes that could be closed throughout the body. Dozens of pale hyphae could be seen emerging from these small holes. It reached out and penetrated Wang Xiyi's body.

The devouring ability was activated... Sun Hang felt a hot, violent energy flow into his body along the mycelium, and the next second, the blood in his body seemed to boil along with it.

He felt as if his body was burning.

And Wang Xiyi's body also began to undergo drastic changes - a pair of hard black dragon horns broke through the skin and emerged from her forehead, the extended tail vertebrae protruded from behind her, and the white joints began to ooze. With bright red flesh and blood, a strong and powerful tail took shape in the blink of an eye, and black scales with a metallic luster were wrapped all the way to the end of the tail.

She has fewer and fewer human characteristics, and more and more dragon characteristics.
