Trickster Hunter

Chapter 269 Yard

"We can provide whatever equipment and supplies you want, but unfortunately, I want to take that fat guy with me, but Tianshu Tower won't agree to it." Wang Xiyi said as she started the car.

"In my opinion, if you really want to take that fat guy into the occupied area, he might really choose to commit suicide." Ye Jiu shook his head in the co-pilot seat, "You can't pretend to be that kind of fear."

"I always feel that we went to Chunming City in vain this time. Apart from knowing that there may be a rule-based monster in the occupied area, we didn't get any useful information at all." Wang Xiyi grasped the steering wheel with one hand and took out a nutrition bar from the armrest box with the other hand. He skillfully tore open the aluminum foil package with his teeth and stuffed it into his mouth.

According to the "information" provided by Li Junwen, Tianshu Tower provided the team with two special foods for the characteristic of "hunger" - one is a modified version of the super high-calorie nutrition bar that Wang Xiyi has been eating; the other is a special ration that has the same calorie content as ordinary food, but it is added with special rations that can regulate neurotransmitters and suppress appetite.

"Rule-based weird things, rule-based weird things..." Ye Jiu was wearing a heavy armor, and a sound of metal armor plates rubbing against each other sounded on his body when he moved a little. "Have you ever dealt with rule-based weird things?"

"Bao Si, does she count?" Wang Xiyi asked.

"... barely, it counts."

"That means we have dealt with them before." Wang Xiyi said.

"No... Bao Si is a human, not a monster." Ye Jiu shook his head repeatedly, "But then again, even such a big mountain can be led by her nose... She has only inherited part of the power of the rule-based monster. It is hard to imagine what a real rule-based monster would look like."

"It looks like a rule-based monster. For example, if the rule is 'death', then you have to die." Wang Xiyi rolled her eyes at him.

"If what we are going to face is really a rule-based monster called 'hunger', I feel that these snacks with added ingredients are useless at all." Ye Jiu said.

"I never expected them to be useful." Wang Xiyi stepped on the accelerator, and the car slowly accelerated forward.

"Anyway," Zhulong's voice came from the intercom, "'Hunger' is better than 'death', 'dismemberment', 'burning' and the like. At least it won't be directly fatal - even ordinary people like Li Junwen can return to the civilized world alive, I think our chance of survival can't be lower than his, right?"

"Yeah, that makes sense." Ye Jiu nodded in agreement, and the armor on his body made another clanging sound.

"On the contrary, it's you." Ye Jiu turned around and looked at Ling Xiao and Jiang Yu in the back seat, "It's the first time for both of you to go on a mission, and you directly rushed into the occupied area. The enemy you face may be an extremely rare A-type monster... Tsk, many hunters can't achieve an achievement in their entire lives, but you two got it for the first time. How about it, do you have any feelings?"

"No." Ling Xiao said expressionlessly.

"I... I don't know what to think." Jiang Yu's tone was a little awkward, "Are Type A monsters... really that powerful?"

"It's not certain whether they are powerful or not, but they are definitely the most bizarre." Ye Jiu said, "Come to think of it, you don't know anything about the classification of monsters?"

Jiang Yu shook her head.

During this period of time, she has been undergoing various physical examinations and has no time to take the corresponding training courses... In fact, her understanding of monsters is not even as good as the group of temporary investigators who received induction training with Sun Hang.

"If you have time on the way, I really need to make up for it." Ye Jiu said.

The reason why Jiang Yu and Ling Xiao were included in the team was that they took the initiative to apply for this operation, and secondly, because the combat power available in Tianfu City was really stretched to the limit.

It has been a while since the eternal night came, and there have been incidents of strange creatures attacking various counties and cities... The Disaster Countermeasures Committee would like to break a hunter into eight pieces to use, and all departments of the research institute and the investigation bureau have been working overtime to the point of explosion. Cigarettes, coffee and strong stimulants have become strategic materials with the same priority as drinking water.

According to the original plan of the Disaster Countermeasures Committee, after the initial chaos, all parts of the federation will gradually launch support to the Shuzhou area... But unfortunately, not long after the comprehensive support plan was launched, something happened in Baikal City.

At least 30% of the manpower and material resources originally allocated to Shuzhou were transferred to the north. Not only that, the reinforcement plans of various places were also postponed - the events in Shuzhou and Baikal City meant that the "second large-scale activity period of strange creatures" may have arrived, and almost everyone who knew about it was in danger, because no one knew where the next place to encounter a "natural disaster-level" strange creature would be.

Many ordinary people with a keen sense of smell also feel the approach of the crisis... There is no need to read the discussions in the online forums. Just opening the stock trading software and looking at the military and energy sectors that have been rising for several consecutive days is enough to make people realize the seriousness of the problem.

Not only that, food and medicine copyrights have also begun to show an upward trend - although the official media has repeatedly advised the public not to hoard supplies, as long as the canned food and bagged rice in a supermarket are sold out, similar products in the whole city will soon show signs of being out of stock.

Panic will spread among the crowd, and the speed of transmission is much faster than the virus.

The soldiers guarding the roadside raised the temporary blocking pole, and the convoy quickly passed through and drove into the vast mountains.

…

…

Sun Hang walked forward along the street. He found that wherever he went, the lights of the buildings on both sides went out... as if he was an evil star that would bring misfortune and disaster...

"Damn it, you are rebelling against Tiangang." Sun Hang cursed in a low voice, "You are obviously the monsters, right? Can you have some basic dignity of monsters?"

He walked forward for a while, and a large courtyard appeared on the right side of his field of vision - compared with the previous dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street, this courtyard was obviously much more luxurious, with red painted wooden doors and two sides of the door. The stone lions all told Sun Hang: This is a wealthy family in the town.

Sun Hang took out a mirror and took a look at the yard - just as he expected, in the mirror, the vermilion paint on the door turned into dark red blood stains, and the stone lions on both sides turned into two groups that were dripping. The rotten flesh was dripping with pus, and countless maggots were burrowing in and out of the two large pieces of rotten flesh. The scene was extremely delicious.

To be honest, until now, Sun Hang couldn't be sure whether what he saw with his naked eyes was real or whether the picture in the mirror was real.

Or... neither.

Sun Hang stepped forward, reached out and knocked on the vermilion door.

No one opened the door, and there was no movement in the yard.

Sun Hang knocked a few more times, each one more urgently and then harder.

There was still silence in the courtyard.

"Is there anyone? If there's no one... I'll just do it myself." Sun Hang shouted loudly.

After saying that, he pulled out his pistol and put it against the door latch.

"Boom! Boom!"

Deafening gunfire echoed over the town. The hunting pistol opened two sea bowl-sized holes in the wooden door. The door latch behind the hole had broken, and the two heavy doors slowly opened with a creaking sound.

Opposite the courtyard gate is a shadow wall, which is also a common design in ancient Xiazhou courtyards. There are fine reliefs carved on the shadow wall. Unfortunately, most of the reliefs have been weathered, and only some bristles, scales and claws can be seen vaguely.

"Dragon?" Sun Hang looked at the relief on the wall for a while and muttered to himself.

The ancients rarely used dragon patterns for decoration, because in ancient times, the dragon was the symbol of the emperor. If the common people's clothes, utensils or homes have dragon elements, it means they have a rebellious heart, which will cause them to lose their temper. A serious crime on the head - even a noble family would only carve some auspicious beasts from myths and legends on the wall at most. They would never dare to carve a dragon...especially a five-clawed golden dragon on the shadow wall.

After all, the screen wall is the first thing you see when entering the yard...

However, considering that this courtyard should be an antique building built in modern times, the feudal dynasty on the Xiazhou continent has long been destroyed by this time. As long as no one stupidly jumps out and claims to be emperor, let alone carving a dragon on the wall, Even if everything in your daily life is tattooed with dragon patterns and you become a contemporary "Ye Gong", no one will care about you.

There is a large fan-shaped flower bed at both corners behind the courtyard wall. However, the vegetation in the flower bed has long since died, leaving only the charred remains that look like ghosts. A tattered copper kettle was thrown next to the flower bed. Farther away, there was a broom made of sorghum.

Sun Hang bypassed the shadow wall and walked straight towards the main house. But before he got close to the main house, he heard a faint murmur coming from behind.

He turned around, and there was nothing behind him except the wall of shadow.

There was no dragon-shaped relief on the back of the screen wall, but some geometric patterns instead. Sun Hang took two steps closer, and when the next murmur sounded, it became obviously much clearer.

Are the walls talking?

No, the thing that spoke is hiding in the wall...

Although the murmur became clearer, Sun Hang still couldn't understand its content - it didn't seem to be human language. At least, it's not Chinese, nor the common foreign languages ​​that Sun Hang can distinguish.

"Is it... a dialect?"

There are many ethnic groups in Yunnan and Dian, and different ethnic groups have different languages. Learning these minority languages ​​is no easier than foreign languages ​​such as English and French...

Sun Hang got closer, and just when he was almost putting his ear against the screen wall, a hand of the same color as the wall suddenly stretched out from the wall and grabbed his shoulder.

"Fuck you." Sun Hang subconsciously wanted to break away, but the moment the hand touched Sun Hang, he let go, and then he twitched violently, and the murmurs from the wall turned into pain. screams.

"What the hell?" Sun Hang picked up the broom on the ground and poked the hand protruding from the wall. The texture of the broom handle was very hard, as if the hand was also carved from bluestone.

Sun Hang was too lazy to further explore what was inside the wall. He directly pulled out his pistol and fired three shots at the shadow wall.

The thickness of the shadow wall is nearly a foot, the base is made of blue bricks, and the relief is a complete bluestone slab. Even with the power of a hunting pistol, it cannot be completely penetrated.

The relief had been shattered into pieces, revealing what was underneath - it was a strange body carved out of stone. It seemed to be a human body, but there were eight arms that Sun Hang could count. many.

"Bang!"

Another shot accurately hit the "torso", the relief shattered, and the gray stone inside was still exposed.

Sun Hang took out the mirror. He thought that these stones would turn into horrifying flesh and blood in the mirror, but what he didn't expect was that the mirror also showed stones, but the color of the stones changed from gray to white, similar to plaster.

"What the hell..."

The carved limbs were still struggling in pain, and the screams gradually turned into faint moans.

[P.S. Since the new volume was opened, I have seen many comments complaining about why the whole power and ability were lost inexplicably... To be honest, I wanted to ignore this kind of comment at first, but more than one reader brought it up, so I think I might have to explain it to everyone.

First of all, this book is a weird novel, not a traditional fantasy novel of fighting monsters and leveling up. Personally, I hate writing books with fixed combat power and level systems. In a weird world, no matter how high the level of physical combat power is, if you encounter a rule-based weird thing, you can only become the opponent's plaything.

Even in fantasy novels, the competition between the top is not about combat power, but about things like laws and great ways...

The so-called power, skills... These are all tools, all external things, which can be obtained at will and can naturally be discarded at will.

The really important things have never been these.

Besides, I have already written weird things, and readers can't believe everything I write, right? Maybe I am a Zuowang Dao? The author said that the protagonist's power is completely lost, so the protagonist really loses all his power? What is the author?

Finally, a piece of advice for everyone, don't believe every word written by this guy with the ID Dark Dust Dispersion. If what he wrote is contrary to your common sense and cognition, please don't...

■■■■■

Don't...

Don't...believe...■■...

? ? ?

Please believe what I write. As a conscientious author, I will definitely not cheat my readers, right?
