Trickster Hunter

Chapter 347 Conflict

"You're just trying to please me, right?" Song Yarong laughed. "Can I understand that you're trying to please me?"

"If you think so, then so be it." Sun Hang didn't deny it.

"You want to improve your favorability, fine." Song Yarong lowered her voice, and her smile became ambiguous. "Next time when you're free, let me have a good physical check... You should know what kind of check it is, right?"

"There are minors here, it's not good to talk about this topic, right?" Sun Hang also said with a smile.

"Minors? Where? Why don't I see them?" Before Song Yarong could answer, Fukada Miki spoke first, "You guys are having a lot of fun, can you take me with you?"

Sun Hang wanted to say to her, "Little brat, get out of the way," but considering that Fukada Miki's identity needed to be kept secret, Sun Hang finally swallowed his words back.

She is no longer the 17-year-old Fukada Miki, but the 26-year-old Tang Jing.

"Are there any taboos?" Sun Hang simply ignored her and brought the topic back.

"I don't eat coriander."

"Great minds think alike." Sun Hang nodded vigorously. "From today on, you are my half-sister!"

"Your sister is a little too cheap." Song Yarong complained. "The person who cooked is the 'puppet master' Zhong Ling, right?"

"You know?"

"Yang Lian mentioned it to me. It's a pity that if it was her, you might have to go hungry today... Otherwise, I'll share a bucket of instant noodles with you?" Song Yarong said.

"What's wrong? Is she working overtime too?"

"She just received a long-distance patrol duty mission, circling the city, and going to the outposts on the outskirts of the city... I guess she won't be back tonight."

"What flavors of instant noodles do you have?"

...

...

Southern suburb of Tianfu City, Economic Zone Ring Expressway, Outpost No. 307.

A convoy consisting of a light armored vehicle and four off-road vehicles slowly approached.

Before the convoy stopped, a lieutenant wearing a powered exoskeleton jumped off the light armored vehicle in the lead.

Driven by the power exoskeleton, the lieutenant ran forward for more than ten steps after landing, which resolved the inertia caused by jumping out of the car. But before he could stand firmly, several aiming lasers had already stopped at his head, chest and other vital parts.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. We are the 26th patrol team. We just sent you a connection message!" the lieutenant shouted loudly.

"We know, but it's always right to be cautious in special times!" The soldier behind the sentry bunker also responded loudly.

"Being cautious doesn't mean pointing a gun at friendly forces!" The lieutenant said embarrassedly, "If it accidentally goes off, then..."

"What are you afraid of? I didn't even turn on the safety." A short and strong old soldier came out from behind the bunker, looked at the lieutenant who was not even half his age with some contempt, and snorted coldly, "Even if the safety is turned on, as long as my fingers are not broken, this gun will not go off... You kid, you are a lieutenant at such a young age, and graduated from a military academy?"

"Yes... Tianfu Military Academy 59th class, just graduated the year before last." The lieutenant replied.

Logically speaking, the other party was just a soldier, and he was an officer, so the other party should salute him when he saw him... But when the lieutenant saw the collar badge of the third-level sergeant major of the veteran, he lost his temper instantly.

Although the third-level sergeant major was only a non-commissioned officer, according to the military rank of the Xiazhou Federation, he enjoyed the treatment of a deputy regimental level... and the deputy regimental level officers generally had the rank of lieutenant colonel, and some even reached the rank of colonel... which was more than one or two levels higher than the lieutenant.

Facing the old predecessor who was several heads higher than him in terms of seniority, the young lieutenant could only be scolded obediently.

"Nowadays, the new recruits have never been to the battlefield and have never seen blood... Tsk, they are so scared when someone points a gun at them." The sergeant patted the lieutenant's chest, "Isn't it equipped with a bulletproof plate? You won't die even if you get shot."

"Uh..."

"Uh, what's the huh, sign it quickly and get out!" The sergeant took out a communication terminal from his pocket and handed it over.

"This... I'm afraid this doesn't comply with the regulations." The lieutenant said somewhat awkwardly, "We should check the post once and confirm that there is no problem before I sign... Otherwise, it would be irresponsible to the federal government and to you..."

"Don't give me that!" The sergeant seemed to be in a bad mood today, "I'm standing in front of you alive, how can there be any problem with Post 307? I'm leaving this to you today, as long as I'm still alive, those weird things can't cross the line behind!"

"This..." The lieutenant was embarrassed for a moment... It was his first day as the captain of the patrol team, and he encountered such a thing. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.

Just when the lieutenant was in a dilemma, another man wrapped in a black robe jumped off the second off-road vehicle and walked to the front of the post.

"What happened?" the man asked.

"Post 307 refused to be inspected." The lieutenant said truthfully.

"Why?" the man asked again.

"No reason! I said there's no problem, so there's no problem!" The sergeant glared, "It's just a tiny place, what do you want to check? Check if our underwear is on backwards? I'm a soldier, not a prisoner in a prison! Damn, come here three or four times a day, how can you ever stop!"

At this time, a soldier from the patrol convoy trotted over and whispered into the lieutenant's ear: "Captain, I just learned about the rear... Yesterday's patrol convoy seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble and found a lot of problems for Post 307. , all the soldiers stationed at the station were punished..."

"What, you want to punish me again? Come on, I don't care about the lice anyway!" the sergeant major shouted.

"What problems did that convoy pick...?" The lieutenant frowned. He always felt that there seemed to be some misunderstanding.

"The fire-fighting equipment was not in place, the ammunition boxes were not locked according to regulations, the soldiers' weapons were not secured, etc... These are all trivial matters." The soldier said, "I heard that it was the patrol convoy. The captain failed in the blackmail and was beaten up in turn, so he chose to retaliate against them..."

"Blackmail? Revenge?" The lieutenant's eyes widened, "Is there such a scum in the army?"

"Captain, captain, please lower your voice! This is just a rumor! A rumor!! It has not been confirmed yet!" the soldier said quickly.

"Sergeant Major, I think there must be some misunderstandings! What happened yesterday..."

Before the lieutenant finished speaking, the man in black robe suddenly pushed him away and walked straight into the outpost.

"Stand aside for me!" The sergeant major immediately reached out to stop the man in black robe.

"Get out of here." The man in black robe said calmly. He didn't even raise his hand, and the stocky sergeant flew out like a ball and hit the traffic jam heavily.

"What are you doing?!"

The soldiers in the outpost immediately pointed their guns at the man in black robes, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment!

"Do you call this a mutiny... or a rebellion?" The man in black robe looked at the black muzzles of the guns coldly and asked disapprovingly.

"Everyone... ahem..." The sergeant major who was knocked away struggled to get up from the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood with broken teeth, "Everyone... is not fucking allowed. shot!"

"Don't shoot! If you have something to say, please don't shoot!" Seeing this, the lieutenant quickly ran between the soldiers at the outpost and the men in black robes, raising his hands above his head. "Don't let the incident escalate. Who would you do that to? It’s no good!”

"It was this man who hit the station commander first!" a soldier at the outpost shouted, squeezing his neck. "This is an attack on the outpost. According to regulations, we can fight back!"

"Fuck you back!" Before the lieutenant and the man in black robe could speak, the sergeant major cursed first. He took off the helmet on his head and threw it hard at the soldier who just spoke, "All of them... Put the gun down for me, are you deaf?"

After saying that, the sergeant major turned to look at the man in black robe and said solemnly: "Are you... a monster hunter?"

The man in black robe glanced at the sergeant expressionlessly and did not deny it.

"Hmph...Hunter...you are so majestic." The sergeant major covered his chest and abdomen, took two steps back, and sat down on a traffic stop. "They are just a group of short-lived freaks. …”

Before he finished speaking, the man in black robe instantly flashed in front of the sergeant major. A sharp claw like some kind of raptor protruded from his robe and clawed directly at the sergeant major's unprotected head!

"It's over!" The lieutenant screamed in his heart - it's too late! It's too late! No one can save this sergeant major...if he died here today...

This hunter may be able to leave here alive, but the soldiers in the outpost, the others on the convoy, and himself... I am afraid they will all be killed in a sudden fire.

From the corner of his eye, he could even see the light from the muzzle of the soldier at the outpost when he fired!

It’s over! Completely finished!

The moment the gunshot sounded, the sharp claws of the black-robed hunter suddenly flew up, and then landed on the ground more than ten meters away. At the same time, a burly steel-like body blocked the soldiers at the outpost. Above the gun line, all bullets were intercepted.

The sergeant major was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked back, and saw a thin corpse standing behind him, with blood dripping from his scalpel-like fingers.

The man in black robe covered the wound of his broken arm and had retreated several meters away, staring at the corpse standing behind the sergeant major as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Skeleton?" the sergeant major asked in confusion, "Why do you appear here? And you saved my life?"

"Don't shoot! Don't ever shoot again!" the lieutenant shouted as if he had just woken up from a dream. At the same time, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief in his heart - luckily there was another person in the convoy. "Ability users" exist, otherwise, today's matter may really develop into a situation that will never end.

"These skeletal remains are friendly forces! Friendly forces!!" the lieutenant emphasized again, "It's from our side!"

"I...of course I know..." an outpost soldier murmured, "It...it saved the station commander...but...how could the skeleton..."

Before he could finish his words, the angry sergeant major rushed in front of him, grabbed his rifle with his bare hands, and then slapped him with a big ear-scratcher.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot! Do you want to fucking die?"

"But! Station Commander, that hunter wants to kill you!" the soldier said aggrievedly.

"Even if I am killed, you are not allowed to shoot! Do you understand?" the sergeant major shouted in an almost growling tone.

"Why, are you planning to mutiny with these soldiers?" The black-robed hunter stood at the edge of the highway, staring at the direction of the convoy with a bad look.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw a slender girl in a black dress slowly walking over. At her side, there were two strange corpses like followers.

"Post 307 refused to be inspected, so it will naturally be punished." The girl said, "But you hit someone first, so you are the one who caused the armed conflict."

"Who is he! Don't even mention hitting him, I can kill him at will!" The black-robed man said fiercely, "Is the life of such a mortal worth more than mine?"

If Sun Hang was at the scene at this time, he would be able to see that the shadow behind the black-robed man, which symbolized negative emotions, had become extremely fierce, as if it would swallow him up at any time.

"It has nothing to do with whether it is worth money or not. Right is right and wrong is wrong." The girl's tone was very calm. "They did something wrong, and you did something wrong too."

"What do you want to do with me? Put me in jail?" The black-robed man raised his eyebrows and said, "Just like the hunter who accidentally killed a few ants a few days ago?"

"That hunter killed people, not ants." The girl shook her head.

During the confrontation between the girl and the black-robed hunter, the sergeant quietly walked to the side of the lieutenant, gently bumped him with his elbow, and whispered: "Who is this girl...?"

"She is a qualified person with strange equipment from Chunming City, codenamed 'Puppet Master'." The lieutenant explained in a low voice.

"Puppet Master?" The sergeant looked at the strange skeletons thoughtfully, "In other words, these strange skeletons are all puppets controlled by her?"

"Yes." The lieutenant nodded.

"Is she a hunter too?"

"No, she's not infected... but I don't know why she has the ability to control the strange body... maybe it's some special ability." The lieutenant said, "I heard that some people, even if they are not infected by the strange virus, will awaken some special abilities."

"I admit that I was in a bad temper just now, you ask them to stop." The sergeant exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "You can check the outpost, and I will accept any punishment from above... but I have one thing to ask you."

"What?" The lieutenant asked.

"When the higher-ups investigate, you can say that I asked my men to shoot." The sergeant said.
