Trickster Hunter

Chapter 295 Stress Response

"Gloves? Blood?" The hunter was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked down at his hands.

His eyes were full of confusion.

"Blood... Why is there blood?"

"I'm asking you." Sun Hang said, "If you are not injured, then it can only be the blood of your teammates, or the blood of the monster... But then again, you didn't even see what the monster looks like, how could you hurt it?"

"Blood? Whose blood?" The hunter muttered in confusion.

This guy looks very wrong... Sun Hang is not sure whether he was scared by the monster or his mental state was affected by some unknown force.

"Take off your gloves and see?" Sun Hang suggested.

The hunter hesitated, then took off his gloves.

When looking at the other person's hands, Sun Hang's pupils shrank slightly.

These hands are generally considered to be a pair of "human hands", but the surface skin is not as smooth as that of normal humans, but is covered with large and small tumors... In these tumors, there seems to be something squirming, and from a distance, it looks like insect eggs wrapped under the skin.

"What's wrong with your hands?" Sun Hang asked immediately.

He couldn't be sure whether the hunter was infected by the weirdo... After all, these hunters themselves are infected. To use a popular saying on the Internet: except for still maintaining the human way of thinking, the weirdo hunters are essentially not much different from the weirdos.

"My hands?" The hunter raised his hands, "What's wrong with my hands?"

His reaction seemed a little slow. After looking at his hands for several seconds, he suddenly widened his eyes and said in horror: "What are these things? They... When did they get into my flesh?!"

As he said that, he frantically used his fingers to dig these tumors. As the tumors ruptured, a bunch of tiny, curled-up fleshy tentacles fell out of the tumors.

"Another parasitic tentacle?" Sun Hang couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

It's not like he hasn't encountered parasitic tentacles before. This kind of weirdo is not strong at all... A whole team of senior hunters, no matter how careless they are, can't be wiped out by parasitic tentacles, right?

Most of the parasitic tentacles that fell out of the tumor fell into the mud on the ground, and the remaining small part was hung on the hunter's skin by mucus - under the corrosion of mucus, the hunter's skin became very fragile, just like a wet napkin, these tiny tentacles easily penetrated his skin and drilled into the flesh again.

They are called tentacles, but they seem to be more like a kind of flesh worm parasitic in the human body.

The hunter has completely lost his mind. He dug and scratched his hands until they were bloody, but the crazier he was, the deeper those worm-like tentacles drilled... until he dug until even his bones were exposed, he still couldn't completely clean up the tentacles parasitic in his flesh.

"Help me! Help me!" The hunter panicked and asked Sun Hang for help, "Get rid of these bugs for me! Help me get rid of them! Please!"

Sun Hang did not step forward, but stood there and silently activated his memory reading ability.

The hunter had gone crazy, and his brain was in an extremely abnormally active state. The images that Sun Hang could read were extremely distorted and mixed with a lot of images imagined by the other party - but in these messy memories, Sun Hang still captured some valuable things.

He saw with his own eyes that the hunter pulled the trigger on the back of his companion, and he also saw that the hunter inserted his hands into the chest of another hunter and tore the other's chest open with brute force... The other members of the fourth team who were "almost wiped out" in the hunter's mouth were all killed by him.

"You just said that the strange creature was always behind you, right?" Sun Hang asked suddenly.

The hunter was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Yes! That's the feeling! I can't see it, but I can feel it! It's been chasing me, and I can't get rid of it! Please! Please help me! I really don't want to die!"

At the end, there was even a hint of crying in his words.

"You're right, it's behind you."

A liquid flying blade that had circled behind the other party at some point suddenly cut open the protective suit worn by the hunter, exposing his back to the air.

A creature resembling a manta ray was tightly attached to his back, and its suction cup had been deeply embedded in the hunter's flesh. Through the translucent texture of the creature's flesh, Sun Hang could see that with the rhythm of the breathing-like peristalsis, crimson blood was constantly sucked out of the hunter's body and then spread to the whole body of the creature.

After the blood "circulates" in the body of this creature, its color will become darker and darker, and then it will be returned to the hunter's body - in medical terms, it is equivalent to completing an extracorporeal circulation.

However, this "device" that completes the extracorporeal circulation is not the common ECMO, but the body of an unknown monster.

The hunter also noticed something was wrong. He stretched his bloody hand behind his back and touched the monster attached to his spine.

He froze in place.

"I guess you are probably doomed." Sun Hang took out his pistol, pulled the bolt, and loaded it.

"Don't... don't... save me..."

"I'm not a doctor, and I'm not very interested in studying weird things and infected people." Sun Hang shook his head, "My mission is to collect meme samples from Chimera No. 17, and saving people is not included in my mission. As for the rescue team, this location is too deep, and they can't get in."

"Save me..."

"This is the only thing I can do for you." Sun Hang raised his pistol.

"Bang! Bang!"

The standard Mozambique shooting method, the first two shots were shot at the left and right chest cavities of the target, and then quickly added a shot to the head.

But at the moment Sun Hang fired, the weird thing that looked like a manta ray suddenly released its adsorption state and fell off the hunter's body.

It glided in the air for a distance with its wings spread out, and then drilled into the mud.

But the next second, its body floated to the surface of the mud again, and with it floated hundreds of hyphae that pierced its body.

While Sun Hang was talking to the hunter, he had already used the hyphae of Tai Sui to lay a net around him - with the position where the two stood as the center, the radius of this large net woven by hyphae was 50 meters, and if necessary, the radius could even be doubled in half a second.

Sun Hang quickly devoured the manta ray weirdo - what surprised him was that this seemingly inconspicuous weirdo actually exploded with two very interesting skills.

The first skill is parasitism. As the name suggests, Sun Hang can parasitize himself on other creatures and absorb nutrients by absorbing the blood of other creatures... In addition to blood, he can also absorb memes. However, in terms of efficiency, it is much worse than Taotie.

However, Taotie is a "super weird creature" ranked in the top ten of the sequence after all, and its main ability is devouring. If its signature skills are surpassed by this little weird creature that popped out of nowhere, then Taotie might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.

As for the other skill, it is much more useful to Sun Hang than parasitism.

"Hallucination".

This weird creature can return the blood and memes absorbed from the host to the host, and transform these things into a nearly unsolvable "hallucinogen" - since this part of the transformed blood and memes comes from the host itself, the host's body will not have any "rejection reaction" to them... The host will not even notice that his consciousness has been disturbed. From the host's perspective, even if he receives abnormal information, he will think it is normal... In the long run, this "hallucinogen" can even completely distort the host's normal cognition and turn a person into a lunatic.

The most interesting thing for Sun Hang is that this skill will not be suppressed by the level of the meme.

In other words, even if the target is an invincible original primary monster, as long as he can successfully parasitize the other party and transfer the memes "stolen" from the other party, he can rely on this "hallucinogenic" ability to control a primary monster.

This behavior is very dangerous... The primary monster in the hallucination state may lose control at any time, and the success rate is infinitely close to zero - but no matter what, Sun Hang finally obtained a skill that can pose a "fatal threat" to the primary monster.

He even had a bold idea in his head: the next time the three monkeys appear, why not try these two skills on them?

If it works...

Sun Hang didn't think about it any further. Indistinctly, he seemed to feel two cold eyes.

Why two eyes? Of course, it's because one of the three monkeys covered his eyes.

Sun Hang looked around and didn't find any trace of the three monkeys.

"What is this? A warning?"

Fortunately, the feeling of being watched quickly disappeared, and Sun Hang's new ability was not erased by some unknown force.

After dragging the hunter's body to the ground, Sun Hang got on the hovercraft. It must be said that this amphibious vehicle is widely applicable. In addition to water and flat land, it can also be used in special areas such as deserts and swamps.

Nearly a quarter of the hunters who participated in the operation chose this vehicle.

"If I had known earlier, I would have asked Yang Qi for one." Sun Hang thought to himself, "It's more comfortable to sit on this thing than to hold a dragon's tail that keeps swinging back and forth."

There was still 60% of fuel left in this hovercraft. Sun Hang twisted the handle, and the motorcycle engine suddenly roared. Two tongues of fire sprayed out from the back of the motorcycle, instantly pushing Sun Hang and the motorcycle forward.

Ordinary hovercrafts use compressed air pumps as a power source, but this one is different. This one is also equipped with rocket thrusters.

The streamlined front of the car tore through the dense rain curtain. Sun Hang clicked a few times on the control panel of the motorcycle and turned on the music player.

The network has been disconnected, and the songs that can be played now are all pre-stored in the system... Sun Hang doesn't know which department this hoverbike belonged to before it was requisitioned, but in short, the owner of this motorcycle has a good taste in music.

Heavy metal rock and roll with the current stormy weather are simply complementary.

Sun Hang turned the volume up to the maximum, then turned the throttle to the bottom. The speed of the hoverbike instantly reached 340 mph, speeding on the road that looked like a swamp.

The airflow hood pulled the shape of the rain, forming a shock wave surface at the tail of the motorcycle like a fighter breaking the sound barrier. The rain mixed with mud splashed into the air tens of meters high, and after a short hover, it fell again.

Soon, Sun Hang saw the giant object emitting a faint fluorescent light.

"Chimera No. 17." Sun Hang said to himself, "Why did Anna let me avoid you?"

Sun Hang did not slow down, nor did he turn off the car audio of the hoverbike. He just rushed towards Chimera No. 17.

A strong sense of crisis arose spontaneously. Sun Hang seemed to see that the fluorescence on the surface of Chimera No. 17 was gathering in one direction. He subconsciously turned the handlebars, and the hoverbike made a 360-degree turn and drift on the mud. At the same time, a blazing white beam of light fell on the path Sun Hang had just driven.

"Playing tricks, huh? I'm alone!" Sun Hang was indignant. He operated the hoverbike to draw a large circle with a radius of 20 meters, and then aimed the front of the car at Chimera No. 17 again.

At the same time, at the No. 7 observation post, the front-line command center.

"A strong energy reaction was observed!" A technician responsible for observing the status of Chimera No. 17 shouted loudly, "It was determined to be a 'stress reaction'!"

"Can you calculate the impact point of the energy flow?" Ye Xuan immediately asked.

"D15 area, two kilometers away from Chimera No. 17!" another technician shouted loudly.

"D15 area..." Ye Xuan immediately walked to the front of the holographic ground, and her slender ten fingers rose and fell on the virtual keyboard, and a line was immediately marked in red on the holographic ground.

"It is the planned route of the first team. They are approaching Chimera No. 17!" An officer said excitedly.

"It shouldn't be... We just picked up the puppet master and Night Fury. Logically, Sun Hang should be the only one left in the first team... One person, two kilometers away, according to the previous calculation results, it is impossible to cause a stress response in Chimera 17!" A technician wondered.

"Even if the actual data observed will keep changing... The calculation results previously derived have long been meaningless." Ye Xuan frowned and said, "I just want to know now, is Sun Hang still alive?"
