Chapter 212 "The Thief"
"Sun Hang!! What happened?!" Yang Qi shouted eagerly, "What dirty thing?!"
"Behind this window, there are several Nuo opera masks hanging on those shelves." Sun Hang said while slowly stepping back, "I can see them, but in the photos I took with my mobile phone, They don’t exist at all.”
"Can't be recorded by camera equipment?!" Yang Qi took a breath, "Chimera No. 17 also has this characteristic. Could this be..."
"But I can't feel their breath." Sun Hang said, "In my perception, they are just ordinary masks."
"Don't act rashly! Exit first!" Yang Qi said, "We will rush over immediately!"
"I'm thinking about a question." Sun Hang suddenly said.
"What's the problem?"
"Tell me, if I set this house on fire, can anything interesting be burned out?" Sun Hang asked.
"We don't need to take that risk!" Yang Qi said quickly, as if she was afraid that she would be too late, so Sun Hang took direct action. "Although Chimera No. 17 was severely damaged, its ability is too weird. It is not recommended to fight against it without being completely prepared.”
"But these masks don't seem to be moving. Why do I feel that the other party is playing an empty city trick with me?" Sun Hang said, but he still slowly retreated towards the courtyard gate.
He could vaguely feel something amiss in his subconscious, but he couldn't be sure whether it came from these weird masks that couldn't be captured by the camera, or something else.
But just when Sun Hang was still a few steps away from the courtyard door, the courtyard door closed automatically with a "squeak" without wind.
Sun Hang even heard the sound of the gear inside the door lock turning and the lock tongue biting.
"No, buddy..." Sun Hang was speechless, "Can't there be something new for such a clichéd horror movie plot?"
"Sun Hang? What's going on? Why did I see the courtyard door closed? Did you close it?" Yang Qi's voice rang in the headphones.
"No, it closed by itself." Sun Hang replied, "And it's also locked."
"Did the monster do it? Then leave this courtyard quickly! You can probably climb over the courtyard wall, right?"
"It doesn't feel necessary." Sun Hang shook his head, "Since it insists on me staying, I might as well just do as the guest does."
After Sun Hang said this, he squatted down and put his hands on the ground.
Countless mycelium protruded from his palm, penetrated into the ground, and quickly approached the main house - these mycelium penetrated directly under the wall, broke through the indoor floor, and shot towards those hanging on the brackets. Nuo opera mask!
The front end of each mycelium is wrapped with a metal flying blade. With the mycelium as a medium, Sun Hang can control these flying blades more easily, as if they are all extensions of his own limbs - in some extreme situations Under the circumstances, the advantages of line control are indeed irreplaceable by wireless remote control.
A flying blade cut a Nuo opera mask painted in ocher red in half from bottom to top, and thick plasma suddenly spurted out from where the mask was cut!
The plasma sprayed out more and more, as if there was a different-dimensional space inside the mask... Soon, the room used to display Nuo opera masks turned into a blood pool... As the level of the blood pool rose, , the blood began to overflow the window sill and flow into the yard.
Sun Hang finally smelled a breath of something strange... Unfortunately, this breath was weak and fragmented, just like the meme fragments in the Qiang corpse.
The plasma gradually covered the instep of Sun Hang's feet, and the mucous liquid seeped in along the gaps between his shoes and socks. This made Sun Hang feel a little uncomfortable. He simply kicked off his shoes and tore them off, which were already soaked in plasma. The heavy socks stepped directly into the blood pool with bare feet.
"Sun Hang, what happened again?" Yang Qi's voice not only rang in the earphones, but also outside the courtyard - she, Zhulong, and Zhong Ling had already run to the entrance of the courtyard, and there was only one door between them and Sun Hang. The courtyard wall is more than two meters high. "What is that flowing out of the window? Is it blood?"
"Maybe." Sun Hang replied, "Judging from the smell and texture, it should be the plasma of some kind of creature. However, its temperature is very low. I feel like I am stepping in ice water... If it is If it’s plasma, it should have coagulated long ago, right?”
"Bang!" A loud noise came from the door of the courtyard, and a large dent appeared on the door made of welded steel plates - Zhong Ling controlled a powerful corpse that was hitting the door, while several others The corpse has climbed up the courtyard wall, looking down at the situation in the courtyard.
"Where are the masks?"
"I chopped it to pieces, and the plasma flowed out from inside the mask." Sun Hang said, "I have to say, the amount of bleeding was really huge."
"Besides the mask, plasma and the automatically locked courtyard door, are there any other abnormalities?" Yang Qi asked again.
"I haven't found it yet." Sun Hang shook his head to himself and walked back and forth in the yard twice with the blood that had reached his calf. "I can only perceive some fragmented meme fragments... Hmm ? It seems like things are starting to change..."
"What changes?"
"The meme fragments carried inside these plasma seem to be integrating into the ground and walls... They are beginning to combine and reorganize... the aura is also getting stronger..." Sun Hang closed his eyes and used Taotie's ability to sense the changes around him. "Good guy, is this a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change...A large number of meme fragments can actually be combined into a complete meme fragment..."
In just a few seconds, a brand new strange creature was born in front of Sun Hang.
"Sun Hang! The equipment has responded! This yard has been completely transformed into a Geng-shaped monster!" Yang Qi shouted from outside, "Come out of it quickly!"
"..." Sun Hang stood still in front of the door again, then flew up and kicked open the door of the house with his bare feet.
If the previous meme fragments were equivalent to the offal and scraps of cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks, then now they are equivalent to being reprocessed by some black-hearted factories and reappearing in the world as "synthetic meat"... On the Internet, this kind of thing is generally called "technology and ruthless work" by netizens.
"Sun Hang! Why haven't you come out yet?!" Yang Qi's voice became more and more anxious, and the frequency of the corpse hitting the door also began to increase.
The courtyard door has been severely deformed. However, under such circumstances, the metal material has shown unexpected ductility - not only has the courtyard door not been broken, it has even maintained a tight fit with the ground and the courtyard walls on both sides. The plasma in the courtyard had reached almost as high as someone's knees, but not a bit leaked out of the courtyard. This courtyard wall completely isolates the inside and outside of the courtyard... Sun Hang is a little curious. If the plasma rises to the same height as the top of the courtyard wall, will it overflow the courtyard wall and flow outside the courtyard? Woolen cloth?
It's a pity that I probably won't give it such a chance.
Sun Hang had already felt the "core" of this new Geng-shaped monster. He walked straight forward. Tai Sui mycelium and metal flying blades helped him clear away all the obstacles in his path - tables and chairs. , screens were all torn to pieces, and even the wall at the end of the foyer was smashed open by mycelium twisted into a sledgehammer shape.
Sun Hang finally saw the first villager since entering the village...or rather, the remains of the villager.
A woman wearing traditional Qiang costumes sat on a chair, her head lowered, wearing a Nuo opera mask with a green face and fangs on her face, her long black hair hanging down, soaked in blood that reached her knees.
Her arms were stretched out to both sides. There was an incision on the inside of the arm that extended from the armpit to the palm. The skin around the incision was everted, and the blood vessels underneath were picked out one by one...< br>
These blood vessels were obviously mutated... They were like wildly growing vines, connecting the corpse to the blood pool.
This plasma seems to be flowing out of this corpse.
"Tsk... so much blood, if it is normal human plasma... the blood stations in Tianfu City will be jealous to death, right?" Sun Hang complained softly.
The successive disasters after entering Yongye have caused Tianfu City's current supply of blood products to be very tight. In the Xicheng District that was affected by the Longyan Barrier Incident alone, tens of thousands of injured people needed blood transfusions... Although the Xiazhou Federation has collected blood products from various city-states. Blood products were urgently mobilized and sent to Tianfucheng, but for the huge blood gap in Tianfucheng, this assistance could only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
Before Sun Hang set off for Chunming City, Yang Qi, Yang Lian, Ye Xuan, Ye Jiu and others had already been pulled to donate blood... If Sun Hang hadn't been an infected person, he would have been "forced to voluntarily" donate blood. .
"What a waste." Sun Hang walked up to the corpse.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
A few hyphae slowly climbed up along the back of the chair, lifting the corpse's drooping head.
Sun Hang wanted to take off the Nuo opera mask on the corpse's face, but after trying several times, he found that the mask seemed to have grown on its face and could not be taken off at all... Use a little more force, and the plasma It also kept dripping from the gaps in the mask... Sun Hang estimated that if he really wanted to tear it off with brute force, the face of the corpse would also be torn off along with it.
The speed of "bloodletting" seems to have slowed down a lot. According to the initial rising speed, the plasma is now estimated to have reached Sun Hang's waist. However, nearly half a minute has passed, and the liquid level still stays about a month above the knee. centimeter position.
"Has the blood finally run out?"
Sun Hang heard a noise coming from behind. He did not look back. Two eyeballs growing from the ends of hyphae crossed his shoulders and "for him" saw the situation behind him clearly - two strange skeletons struggling in the blood. He trudged and walked into this room.
Both of the two skeletons were wearing "combat uniforms" specially made by Tianshu Tower - this "combat uniform" was both their protective equipment and their restraints. One of the corpses had "002" printed on its shoulder. "The number of the other one is "013".
"He's fine." Zhong Ling's voice and Yang Qi's breath of relief could be heard faintly from the earphones.
"Sun Hang, what's the situation over there now?" Yang Qi said again, "If you don't respond, we will break in by force."
"I discovered the core of this Geng-shaped monster." Sun Hang said, "The place with the highest meme density."
As Sun Hang spoke, he took out his mobile phone - but this time before shooting, he previewed the scene captured by the lens.
There was only one chair soaked in plasma in the room, and the chair was empty.
"There is a chair in the room, and sitting on the chair is the body of a female villager. She has a mask on her face... or to be precise, the mask is on her face." Sun Hang said, "I tried to take it off She tried to remove her mask, but unfortunately failed... Like the masks in the showroom just now, the body could not be captured by the mobile phone camera."
"I know... Zhong Ling told me." Yang Qi said, "Her corpse can see this body."
Sun Hang glanced sideways at the "left and right guardians" standing behind him, and complained: "I didn't expect them to be better than my mobile phone camera."
"This ability to be invisible in front of electronic devices, coupled with the parasite in the skull of the Qiang villager... basically it can be determined that this series of events was caused by Chimera No. 17." Yang Qi said, "The tunnel dug by Chimera No. 17 when escaping was broken after extending for three kilometers... I didn't expect it to run into this mountain. I don't know what its purpose was. …”
"Recuperate, hunt, and recuperate." Sun Hang said, "It's nothing more than these..."
However, what Sun Hang was more concerned about was not Chimera No. 17 who escaped to the mountains, but Anna Demoshena who appeared in his dream last night... and the relationship between the two.
But just when Sun Hang thought of Anna, the body sitting on the chair suddenly moved, and a voice that only Sun Hang could hear sounded in his ears.
"Mom...are you looking for me?"
"Are you here?" Sun Hang took a deep breath, put back all the scattered metal blades and hyphae, and at the same time said into the headset: "Zhong Ling, take back your skeletal remains first."
< br>
The two corpses didn't stay too long and quickly left the room.
On the contrary, Yang Qi kept asking questions on the communication channel... But fortunately, Zhulong caught her in time, otherwise, she would have probably climbed over the courtyard wall and rushed in by now.
"No, I'm not here." Anna's voice seemed to be close to her ears, but also seemed to be far away. "I have been here, and what you have come into contact with is just a trace of my thoughts left here."
"The purpose of your coming here is to kill these villagers?" Sun Hang asked, "Or, you gave them 'eternal life'?"
He didn't dare to ask the question too directly for fear of attracting the attention of the three apes.
"No, not me," Anna replied, "I'm tracking a thief, a notorious thief."
