Trickster Hunter

Chapter 260 Bait

However, in Sun Hang's heart, he still held on to a last glimmer of luck - he hoped that during the time he lost consciousness, he was just driving around in Shuzhou and did not drive into the occupied area...

After all, the uninhabited suburban environment in Shuzhou is similar to here. As long as Sun Hang can find a road, all problems can be solved.

Just as he was thinking this, a figure suddenly rushed into his field of vision from the darkness and staggered towards the SUV.

Sun Hang immediately stepped on the brakes.

His right hand instantly rested on the rifle on the passenger seat.

"He is not friendly..." Sun Hang muttered to himself.

As the figure gradually approached, Sun Hang subconsciously held his breath.

However, to his surprise, the visitor was not a demon or ghost, but an old lady with a slightly hunched figure. She was carrying a wicker basket and walking with a cane in her other hand.

Sun Hang only noticed at this time that there was a dirt road almost buried by dust under her feet.

Human?

Is this really not an occupied area?

No... Where are the people, and an old woman over 70 years old, who ran to the wilderness alone in such a dark environment... What's more, she didn't even have any lighting equipment.

"Click."

Sun Hang opened the safety of the assault rifle.

The old lady didn't show any special reaction to the off-road vehicle parked in front of her. She walked around the car like an ordinary passerby and walked slowly from one side.

But when she passed the car window, she still turned her head to look at Sun Hang in the car.

The two looked at each other, and Sun Hang actually saw a hint of complex emotions in each other's eyes.

Doubt, pity, and a little kindness... This look was like an elder seeing a younger generation who had gone astray.

The old lady sighed imperceptibly, lowered her head, and continued to walk forward.

Just when Sun Hang was hesitant, she suddenly turned back, walked to the SUV, raised her withered arm, and gently knocked on the window glass.

"..." Sun Hang hesitated for a moment, and finally rolled down the window and asked in the most polite tone, "Grandma, is there anything wrong?"

"Little one, are you hungry?" the old lady asked.

Her voice was hoarse and rough, and her missing teeth made her speak a little leaky... Except for her, Sun Hang could hardly find anything abnormal about this old man.

The fact that this old man appeared in this place at this time was the biggest abnormality in itself.

"Uh... not bad." Sun Hang scratched his head, "By the way, do you know where this is? The navigation in the car is broken, I'm lost."

"Shh..." The old woman put her index finger in front of her lips and whispered, "Don't ask... don't ask..."

Sun Hang narrowed his eyes... Could this old lady be a mental patient?

The family didn't keep a close eye on her, and then she sneaked out alone and sneaked into this wasteland?

Sun Hang's eyes swept across the old woman's wrists and neck, trying to find the kind of ring or nameplate with family contact information... Unfortunately, except for a string of homemade silver necklaces hanging around the old woman's neck that didn't look very valuable, Sun Hang found nothing.

Even if this is not a occupied area, under the cover of the eternal night, it is difficult for the entire Shuzhou territory to have any safe places except Tianfu City...Small villages and towns can hardly protect themselves, let alone the wilderness where there is no shop in front and no village behind.

No one can guarantee that a strange creature will jump out of any corner... In fact, in the current Shuzhou, except for those large human settlements, other places have become no different from the occupied areas, except that the federal government has not officially recognized them.

"Excuse me, where are you going? It's dark here, and it's in the wilderness. It's not safe. How about you give me a direction and I'll drive you a distance?" Sun Hang asked tentatively.

However, the old lady still shook her head, "Don't ask... Don't ask... Little one, are you hungry?"

This time, before Sun Hang's turn to answer, the old lady tremblingly lifted the cloth covering the basket, took out a piece of food similar to rice cake from it, and handed it in from the window.

"Old lady, I'm not hungry, you can keep this thing for yourself." Sun Hang just opened his mouth to refuse, and the old woman had already let go of her hand, and Sun Hang could only take this "rice cake".

The rice cake was cold, but it was not as hard as the cold rice cake in Sun Hang's impression. It felt softer and stickier when pinched.

"Be careful on the road." Seeing Sun Hang take the rice cake, the old man showed a simple smile on his face, took two steps back, and continued to walk in the original direction.

"Old lady——" Sun Hang wanted to call her, but the next second, he was frozen in place as if he was hit by a spell.

He saw the reflection of this "old man" in the rearview mirror of the car.

It was a mass of walking flesh and blood. Every step she took, a few drops of blood or pus would fall from her body. The cane she was leaning on in her right hand was actually a piece of dry bone extending from the wrist; and the "basket" she was carrying in the other hand was actually a large mass of tumor-like hyperplastic tissue wrapped around her arm.

The only thing that has not changed is her still staggering gait.

"Tsk..."

Sun Hang glanced at the "rice cake" in his hand, and then took it to the rearview mirror.

What was lying in his palm was not a rice cake at all, but a ball of rotten meat that was still wriggling.

"Is it a trick? Or is it a cognitive distortion deep in the consciousness?"

"No, it shouldn't be a cognitive distortion... If it was a cognitive distortion, even if I saw her true face in the mirror, my brain would tell me that this was a kind-looking old man... not some weird monster..."

Sun Hang took another look at the rice cake in his hand, found a container for storing "dangerous goods" from the storage box next to him, and put the thing in it.

It's a pity that Sun Hang didn't know much about the pastries in the southwest region of the Federation, otherwise he would have recognized it - this thing is not actually a rice cake, but a special food in the Yunnan and Yunnan regions: bait block.

Sun Hang thought about it, stepped on the accelerator, turned the car around and caught up with the old man.

"...Grandma, do you know where the nearest village is?"

The "old lady" turned her head and looked at Sun Hang, shook her head, and murmured: "Little boy, are you still hungry... Is one piece of bait not enough for you?"

Sun Hang: "..."
