Chapter 196 "Holiday is Over"
"Are we going to send someone to follow it?" The colonel turned to look at the old director, "We can follow the tunnel where that thing escaped..."
"No..." the old director whispered. Only then did the colonel realize that he didn't seem to care about the escaped creature at all, but was focusing all his attention on the ridiculously strong hunter.
"Teacher," Song Yarong turned her head and said worriedly, "the latest test results show that the infection process of 'Night Fury' has increased by 6.5 percentage points, which is very close to the danger threshold... Moreover, this momentum has not stopped... …Damn, it’s six point six now”
"Close to the danger threshold?" The corner of the colonel's eyes twitched wildly, "Does this mean she is about to become completely devious?!"
"Yes." The old director gave an affirmative answer.
"Then...then can we control her?"
"If she is completely deceitful, the entire Tianfu City will be turned into a sea of fire." The old director said softly, "Her danger level is equivalent to that of a nuclear weapon."
"Nuclear weapons? Tianfu City is actually equipped with such dangerous hunters?!" The colonel's eyes widened, "Why didn't we know this news at all before?"
"Because your level is not high enough." The old director said lightly, "The files of 'Ye Fury' are under the direct jurisdiction of Guitianshu Tower. Even I can't disclose her files to you without the approval of Tianshu Tower." Announcement.”
"...What should we do now?" The colonel frowned, holding back this sentence for a long time.
"We should be lucky that her willpower is the strongest among the hunters I have come into contact with... no, it should be said that she is the strongest among all the infected people I have come into contact with." The old director said, "She is enduring, She is fighting against herself...a self that is far more powerful than her...I believe in her, and you should believe in her too."
"I really want to believe her, but once the situation gets out of hand, we simply can't bear the price!" The colonel waved his hands hysterically, "Is there anything else we can do except believe, professor?"
< br>
The old director shook his head.
A light helicopter with the Tianfu City Monster Research Institute printed on it landed on the edge of the pit, and six special service operators dressed like cans jumped out of the cabin carrying a bunch of equipment.
They first used liquid nitrogen to extinguish the remaining fires still burning in the pit. Then one of them strode up to Wang Xiyi, who was sitting on the ground with a dull expression, and stabbed Wang Xiyi with the syringe in his hand. arm.
At this time, most of Wang Xiyi's arms were covered with scales. Only a small piece of human skin could be seen on the inside of the elbow crook. The hard tungsten steel needle slowly penetrated into the syringe. The inhibitor was pushed into Wang Xiyi's blood vessels little by little with the piston.
"The infection process has been temporarily stabilized...but the mutations in some meme fragments are irreversible..." Song Yarong held the tablet and turned around and said.
"What does irreversible... mean?" the colonel couldn't help but ask.
"She may always maintain this half-human, half-animal state, and in this state, it is equivalent to using the abilities brought to her by the monster meme all the time... The infection process breaks through the safety The threshold is just a matter of time.”
"How much time does she have?" the colonel asked.
"If she is sent to be frozen in a liquid nitrogen pool, this state may be maintained for about four to five months." Song Yarong sighed, "But the price is that she will never wake up again... because once thawed, her body will Memes will become even more active ”
"So...does she need to be subjected to that..." The colonel hesitated for a moment, and then asked the question in his heart, "That...'harmless treatment'?"
Song Yarong glanced at him, said nothing, and turned her attention to the old director.
"Bring the people back first," the old director said.
"Is it... too dangerous?" the colonel asked, his eyes full of worry.
"Are you scared?" Song Yarong glanced at him and asked with some disdain.
"That's not what I meant... I mean, this is now the command hub of the entire Tianfu City. I must be responsible for the safety of everyone here. I can't sit back and ignore an extremely dangerous existence. Once the situation gets out of control, you should compare I know better what will happen," the colonel said helplessly.
"We did not ignore her." Song Yarong took a long breath and continued, "The safest way to deal with her now is to take her back to the research institute. Only here can we have the conditions to safely house her...even if you have to carry out your The so-called 'harmless treatment' can only be achieved here. ”
The special agents dressed in cans had already moved Wang Xiyi into a large "metal coffin". Only the heavy lid with an observation window on the head was pushed up, and then they lifted the metal coffin. Got on the helicopter.
"The special situation handling team has completed the initial containment of the target and is requesting to return." A dull voice came from the communicator on the old director's wheelchair.
"Permission to return." The old director said calmly, "Pay attention to her condition at all times and replenish the inhibitor at any time."
"Understood."
The colonel glanced at the screen, then at the old director, and then said: "Then what to do with that weird thing? Since it failed to be eliminated this time, it will definitely take revenge... Tianfu City will always We are under threat, and all our deployments against Yongye will be affected..."
"It has suffered severe trauma and should not appear again for the time being." The old director said, "Don't think that it just shed a layer of skin."
"Less than one-tenth of the monster's original meme fragments have been successfully preserved, and the frequency representing the strength of its ability has dropped to less than five percent of its original level." The researcher in charge of the monitoring equipment added , "According to the previously established data model, it will not pose any threat to Tianfu City at least in the next six months."
"What about six months later? When it recovers from its injuries...will we have a second 'Night Fury'?" the colonel asked.
"At the moment, we should first consider the problems caused by the eternal night." The old director raised his head and glanced at the colonel, "This is just the beginning. As the eternal night continues, the strange things we will face in the future will only be more difficult than this. , more difficult to deal with... Now that you are here, you should have done a good job of psychological preparation, right?”
"..." The colonel fell into silence. He looked around at everyone in the command room, sighed, and sat back in his seat.
"Report! The rescue team has successfully picked up Ye Xuan, the leader of the special operations team, and Yang Lian, an operator from the Tianfucheng Anomaly Investigation Bureau. Their vital signs are currently stable and they are conscious. Should they be transported to the nearest hospital or... ”
"Send it to the research institute. Tianfu City's top medical forces are now concentrated here." The colonel rubbed his cheek vigorously and said a little tiredly, "Thank God, this is the best thing I heard today. ”
He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket. As soon as he took one out, he looked up and saw the "No Smoking" sign hanging on the wall. He could only smile to himself, turned around and pushed away the door of the command room. Open the door and walk to the corridor outside.
With a "click" sound, the colonel lit a cigarette, took a long drag, and then slowly squatted down with his back against the corridor wall.
The sound of wheels rolling over the ground came. The old director of the research institute drove the wheelchair next to the colonel and said, "Give me one too." "Uh... can you use your body?" The colonel hesitated. After a while, he still lit a cigarette and handed it over.
"Oh, when I stayed up late doing research, I smoked much harder than you young people." The old director took the cigarette and smiled, "At that time, the whole laboratory was filled with smoke... I remember One time the fire alarm was triggered, destroying my two-hundred-page research report... Haha, cough cough cough..."
"Just take it easy." The colonel stood up immediately and gently patted the old director on the back.
"It's nothing, it's just an old problem left over from when I was young... Ahem..." The old director took another puff of cigarette, "Nowadays, the young people in the institute like to rely on strong coffee to refresh themselves, but the smell of coffee I’m really not used to it, but cigarettes work. The spicier the cigarette, the clearer the brain will be when you smoke it.”
"..." The colonel looked at the stooped old man in front of him and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
"When the casualty report of this operation comes out, send me a copy." The old director put down the hand holding the remaining half of the cigarette and looked at the window at the end of the corridor.
"...Okay." The colonel nodded, "After the statistics are completed, I will send someone to report to you as soon as possible."
"Are there any more cigarettes...cough cough..."
"You can't smoke anymore."
"Don't worry, Ma Liu'er, have another one, don't be so stingy!"
"You should take care of your health." The colonel firmly put the cigarette back into his pocket. "Who is the person responsible for your daily life? I think I should go talk to him."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Ha...that Guawazi is not in Tianfu City now, and no one can control me."
"Not in Tianfu City? Are you going to other areas to perform tasks?" the colonel asked subconsciously.
"Yes, but not in Shuzhou." The old director nodded, "She went to Chunming City."
"Chunming City... hunter promotion trial?" The colonel reacted immediately.
"It's thiamine." The old director said, "I didn't expect you to react quite quickly."
"Uh... that's because one of the hunters who supported Shuzhou also participated in this trial, and I helped him submit his temporary departure report," the colonel said.
"Okay, don't talk about what you have or don't have. Do you want to give it or not?"
"No!"
……
……
Three hundred nautical miles east of Chunming City, there is an unnamed island and a beach.
Sun Hang lay sprawled on the beach, enjoying the rare sunbathing - when he returns to Shuzhou, even sunbathing will become a luxury.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Hang planned to have a good time in the sun... Ever since he woke up, he had only a handful of such leisurely and comfortable times. He even doubted whether he was born with a hard life...
The afternoon sun was hot but not poisonous. The sea breeze blowing in the distance carried a faint fishy smell. When the seawater came up with white foam, it was just enough to submerge Sun Hang's feet. After the waves receded, another meeting There were many lively fish, shrimps and small crabs left on the beach. A small crab crawled past Sun Hang with its claws and claws. Several long-dormant mycelium suddenly emerged from the sand and suddenly stabbed its carapace. Wear a pair.
Sun Hang spit out the broken crab shells in his mouth and sat up on the beach - if it were not designated as a closed area, this unnamed island would be quite good as a tourist attraction... If the beach is now It would be even better to have some attractive beauties in bikinis.
Sun Hang raised his head, and a drone hovered directly above him. The round camera turned a few times and finally locked on Sun Hang.
"Huh...the vacation is over." Sun Hang sighed.
After all, this is not a tourist destination, and there are no bikini beauties inviting me to help apply sunscreen.
Behind him, the ruins of the research institute that had been bombed not long ago were still billowing with thick smoke. The second activation of the self-destruction device caused the entire basin to sink nearly a hundred meters again, completely burying the laboratory deep underground. A laboratory filled with bones.
"Anna Demoshena..." Sun Hang recited the name silently in his heart again.
What exactly are you?
What am I?
Dozens of minutes later, a speedboat appeared on the sea and quickly headed towards Sun Hang.
Several people wearing monster hunter combat uniforms jumped off the speedboat and walked up to Sun Hang.
"Special search and rescue team, fourth-level hunter, codenamed 'Thunder'." The leader of the hunter said to Sun Hang, "Apart from you, where are the other hunters who participated in the trial?"
"Not sure, they are probably all dead." Sun Hang shrugged, "But two people should still be alive."
"Which two? Where are they now?" Lei Lei immediately asked, "What happened on the island?"
"The 'fisherman' of the Siberian Autonomous State and Seiichi Yano of Tianshu Tower should be trapped in the nuclear submarine in the underground dock now." Sun Hang said.
"Underground dock? Nuclear submarine?" The hunters looked at each other in confusion. Their expressions after hearing these terms were almost the same as those of the fisherman and Yano.
"If you don't understand, you can ask your superiors." Sun Hang said, "According to the confidentiality regulations of this trial, I have the right to remain silent to you."
"Then can you tell us where the underground dock is? We have to rush to rescue people." Lei Lei said again.
"You just need to send this news back. Tianshu Tower should tell you the location of the entrance." Sun Hang said, "Besides, the curse on Wuming Island should have been lifted. Now even ordinary people can Safely on the island.”
