Trickster Hunter

Chapter 333: Photosensitive Mutation

According to Article 6 of Chapter 4 of the "4717 Latest Revised Edition of the Field Operation Manual for Weirdos Research Institute", when field operators face unknown weirdos, the priority of using long-range weapons is far greater than that of melee weapons, and direct contact with weirdos must be avoided as much as possible unless necessary.

Although the radius in Ling Xiao's hand has returned to normal, he did not rush up to fight with the "woman" directly, but jumped off the bed without hesitation and cut open his aluminum suitcase with a knife.

A pile of folded clothes fell out of the box. Ling Xiao was quick to pick up the tactical flashlight that rolled out with the clothes, and directly adjusted it to the highest intensity flash mode, pointed the light head at the "woman", and turned on the switch!

The strong light flashed out, and even Ling Xiao, who was not directly exposed to the light, squinted his eyes subconsciously.

The "woman" who was directly exposed to the strong light screamed miserably, and her skin began to fester and pus, and a pungent odor filled the room.

She waved her limbs wildly, tearing the sheets and quilts into pieces, and the cotton filling inside flew everywhere. Under the light of the flashlight, it looked like a heavy snowfall.

Ling Xiao took a step back with the flashlight in his hand, and glanced at the door from the corner of his eye.

Although the "woman" in front of him looked very painful, his intuition told Ling Xiao that she had not suffered any substantial trauma - although the strong light could cause strong stimulation to her, it could not kill her, but angered her instead.

Ling Xiao had just taken a small step towards the door, and the "woman" without a lower jaw stopped screaming - she twisted her neck, and her red eyes stared at Ling Xiao.

…

…

Tianshu Tower, Containment Area No. 2.

"I say, why do you still look so sad?" Sun Hang nudged Yuri with his elbow, "Didn't you say that this containment No. 549 is very weak? With the security force of Chunming City, you can meet a sheriff patrolling with weapons every two steps. If this guy runs out, wouldn't he be courting death?"

"Very weak... means under suitable containment conditions, but once he runs out..." Yuri sighed again, "I haven't told you about the special nature of containment No. 549, right?"

"She becomes very irritable when exposed to light?" Sun Hang asked in confusion.

"If she only becomes irritable when exposed to light, she wouldn't be contained here..." Yuri shook his head, "The most special thing about the meme of containment No. 549 is that once the body tissue is exposed to light, it will quickly begin to mutate. The higher the light intensity, the faster the mutation speed and the more severe the mutation degree... If it is allowed to escape, no one knows what kind of monster it will become when we find it again."

"It still has this ability?" Sun Hang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Although it is now night, for Chunming, a city that never sleeps, there are light sources everywhere outside. Those prosperous commercial streets have various advertising screens and neon signs, and the high-brightness street lights make the whole city look like daylight.

The light intensity received under those street lights is even stronger than standing in the midday sun.

The excellent infrastructure construction of Chunming City has become the biggest help for the mutation of No. 549.

"So, we must find it as soon as possible." Yuri said, "Every minute it disappears, the risk will increase exponentially... If we can't find it within 24 hours, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"... If Anna intervenes, then where will she put No. 549?" Sun Hang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In a trance, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed.

"Where is Ling Xiao now?" Sun Hang asked immediately.

"Uh... Are you talking about the boy who took the same flight as you and came to do the superpower test?" Yuri was slightly startled. "If nothing unexpected happens, he should be in Mudanpo on the outskirts of the city. The test site of the superpower management department is built there... What happened?"

"Contact Mudanpo immediately and ask them..."

Before Sun Hang finished speaking, Yuri's cell phone suddenly rang.

Yuri looked down and saw that the call happened to be from Sun Qiong, the deputy leader of the No. 1 working group of the superpower management department.

It was this woman who took Ling Xiao away earlier.

The two looked at each other, and Yuri silently pressed the hands-free button.

"Excuse me, is this Yuri Ivanov, the general manager of the containment area?" Sun Qiong's tone was very urgent, and he even ignored Yuri's middle name.

"It's me. May I ask what happened?"

"The Mudanpo test base detected a memetic reaction to a strange creature. After comparing it with the database, it was found that the reaction frequency was basically consistent with the known strange creature 'Bing Er９５０·Zhan Yan'. When I was browsing the strange creature's files, I found that the strange creature was contained in the No. 2 containment area of ​​​​the headquarters. The containment number is '2-549', so I need to confirm with you whether containment No. 549 is..."

Yuri interrupted Sun Qiong before she finished her words: "To be honest, just ten minutes ago, containment No. 549 broke through containment in a way we cannot understand, and left no trace! Please immediately control the area where the strange creature is located, and my people will rush over immediately - in addition, please cut off all power supplies in the area where the strange creature is located, and turn off all light-emitting devices... Light will cause containment No. 549 to go berserk and accelerate its memetic mutation. This is not marked in the low-security files!"

"Understood!" Sun Qiong said, and the next second Yuri and Sun Hang heard her shouting to the people around her: "Quick! Cut off the power supply of Building No. 3 now! The entire base is in the strictest blackout state! Issue all personnel with head-mounted Night vision goggles! Do it now! ! "

"Captain Sun Qiong," Yuri said again, "Can you tell us about the current situation of containment No. 549? If its mutation is not serious, with your armed forces, it should be able to subdue it. "

"We didn't see containment No. 549!" Sun Qiong said helplessly, "About six minutes ago, Building No. 3 was suddenly isolated by an invisible force. People inside couldn't get out, and people outside couldn't get in... We can only determine through memetic fluctuations that the exact location of containment No. 549 should be in Room 608... But there are currently no armed personnel in Building No. 3, and we can't let people in the building go to the room to investigate..."

"What is Room 608 used for?" Yuri asked immediately.

"It's a guest room for temporary personnel..." Sun Qiong replied.

"Is Ling Xiao in there?" Sun Hang's voice interrupted.

"How do you know? Wait... Is it Mr. Sun Hang?"
