Chapter 253 Sergey
Although no one mentioned it, everyone knew it - it was only a matter of time before the Lake Baikal region was abandoned.
The fisherman put down his telescope and climbed down from the watchtower.
The ashen-faced Minister Sergei slumped on the ground, leaning against the concrete pillar at the base of the tower, with cigarette butts piled at his feet.
The fisherman glanced at his superior and sighed.
Minister Sergey's luck is much worse than mine...
He has a son and a daughter.
Minister Sergey’s son is twenty-four years old this year. He successfully passed the Tianshu Tower exam the year he graduated from university. He is currently the general manager of the Tianshu Tower office in Baikal City and has a bright future;
His daughter is seventeen years old and is the school beauty of Baikal City No. 1 Middle School. Last year, the fisherman accompanied Sergey to attend the Christmas party of No. 1 Middle School. The little girl led a group of girls of the same age to perform the ballet "Swan Lake" on the stage. The girl in a white tutu stood in the leading position, showing off her youthful figure, as if she were a proud little swan...
The fisherman still remembers the scene of the girl standing on tiptoes and dancing to the rhythm of the music.
Minister Sergey once had an enviable family and life, but all of this was turned into ashes when B 77 fell from the sky.
"Boss..." The fisherman originally wanted to ask "Are you okay?", but after thinking about it, this seemingly caring question was really stupid - everything was already so bad that it couldn't get any worse, and again How could it be "good"?
"Would you like some vodka?" The fisherman paused and took out a tin wine bottle from his pocket.
Sergey raised his head, glanced at the fisherman with bloodshot eyes, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Yes."
Sergey took the wine bottle, unscrewed the lid, took a big gulp, and then coughed violently.
"Drink slowly, no one will compete with you..." The fisherman was about to go up and pat Sergey on the back, but who knew that Sergey suddenly got up and threw him to the ground, suffocating him with both hands? Hold his neck!
"Trick! Damn trick!" Sergey shouted in a hoarse voice, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault!!!"
"Crazy...crazy? Minister...are you fucking...crazy?!" The fisherman reached out to push Sergey, but as an ordinary person, Sergey's burst of power at this moment completely suppressed him. As an infected fisherman, the latter tried his best but couldn't push Sergey away who was riding on him.
When the soldiers on the side saw this, they immediately rushed over and worked together to drag Sergey aside.
"Is Minister Sergey crazy?" A colleague who heard the noise and ran over asked the fisherman, "Did you accidentally say the wrong thing and irritate him?"
"Probably not..." The fisherman shook his head.
"Then what's going on with him?"
"Probably because I am an infected person, he transferred his hatred for monsters to me... It's a pity that B 77 has no entity. If it was some kind of giant beast that destroyed Baikal City, Sergey estimates I had already picked up my gun and rushed forward... Ahem... Sukabule, this old guy is pretty ruthless." The fisherman rubbed his neck where the red mark had been pinched, and uttered a Siberian curse.
"I think..." The colleague glanced at Sergey, who was being held down by soldiers not far away but still struggling for his life, and said in a low voice, "Maybe we should ask a psychiatrist to come and take a look..."
"The psychiatrists don't have time to take care of him."
"Ahem, anyway, old Sergey is finished." The colleague coughed twice and whispered.
As a non-infected person, if you are diagnosed with a mental illness, you are strictly prohibited from taking any job or position related to monsters... Whether it is an investigation bureau or a research institute, all on-the-job staff must undergo regular mental state assessments. , except for hunters.
Nine out of ten hunters have psychological conditions that are different from ordinary people, but there is nothing that can be done about it - how to keep these hunters emotionally stable is also one of the important tasks of the institute.
"It makes no difference to him." The fisherman sighed.
"Heh, let me tell you, instead of being furious at the incompetence of his own people, he might as well grab his equipment and rush into the contaminated area...then I respect him as a man." said the colleague.
"You think he doesn't want to, he just got stopped," said the fisherman.
Given Sergey's current state, there is no way the higher-ups will let him go on an exploration mission... If he suddenly loses control of his emotions during the mission, it will only harm others and himself.
"Really? When did this old guy become so brave?" My colleague asked in surprise.
"What's the old saying in Xiazhou? A dog can jump over a wall when cornered, let alone a human."
"Sigh... Fortunately, I'm alone, so I don't have anything to worry about." My colleague also sighed, "Although I can't empathize with him, but just imagining it, it's not that uncomfortable."
"Don't think so much, just live well." The fisherman patted his colleague on the shoulder and was about to return to the barracks, but before he had taken two steps, he suddenly froze on the spot.
That's not right...
He is a monster hunter and an infected person. Although he is not comparable to hunters with strength attributes, he can still overturn a car with his own strength.
Why was Minister Sergey so hard to fight back just now?
Is the power that people unleash in despair really so terrifying?
The fisherman turned around instantly, but at the same time, a gunshot was heard in the distance!
That was the direction Sergei was dragged away by the soldiers.
"Suka BuLei!"
…………
Tianfu City, comprehensive talent training base construction site, underground palace.
Sun Hang led Ling Xiao into the tunnel that was filled with all kinds of modern lighting equipment. From time to time, the latter raised his head and looked around - every once in a while, he could see groups of researchers and heavily armed personnel. Investigator, although the owner of the underground palace has been eliminated by Sun Hang, there are still a large number of artifacts made of red square crystals left in the underground palace.
No one is sure whether there are dangerous things among these strange objects. The researchers can only carefully detect each piece, classify them, record them in a book, and finally use professional containers to contain them and transport them out of the underground palace.
Due to the lack of manpower, the progress of this work is very slow... Two days have passed, and only less than one-third of the artifacts and artifacts in the underground palace have been sorted out.
"Aren't you curious?" Sun Hang looked back at Ling Xiao, who was silent all the way, "I'll take you to this place."
"Curious." Ling Xiao replied.
Sun Hang was slightly startled. Shouldn't curiosity be an emotion? No matter how bad it is, curiosity is a kind of desire, right? Ling Xiao, who has had all his emotions and desires devoured by Anna, is actually curious?
"Are you really curious? Or are you just saying that to answer my question?"
"..." Ling Xiao fell into silence again, obviously unable to understand Sun Hang's question.
"Can you smile?" Sun Hang asked again.
Ling Xiao's face twitched a few times, and finally, with the help of his fingers, he put on a "smile" that looked extremely unnatural.
"Forget it, let's change the topic..." Sun Hang thought for a while and asked, "Can you think of anything that would make you happy?"
There was a look of doubt in Ling Xiao's eyebrows, and his pace slowed down, as if he was deep in thought. After more than ten seconds, he replied: "I'm... not sure."
“It’s OK to say if you’re not sure.”
"...kill gods."
If Sun Hang were drinking water now, he would definitely spit out all the water in his mouth.
Such a second-rate answer, spoken by Ling Xiao in such a serious tone... It's hard to describe what kind of scene this is.
Sun Hang dug his toes inside the shoes twice, and then asked in as calm a tone as possible: "You mean... killing gods can make you feel happy? Or, can it make you feel better?" Good?”
"I'm not sure... I just think that the statues of gods and Buddhas that my mother used to enshrine are very unpleasant to me," Ling Xiao said.
"Not pleasing to the eye?" Sun Hang instantly caught another key word.
Dislike, in other words, disgust... This is also a human emotion.
Was it because Anna didn't eat Ling Xiao completely that he had some of his emotions and desires left...or was it that during this period of time, Ling Xiao's emotions and desires after being eaten slowly "grown" again?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Sun Hang feels that the probability of the latter is slightly higher.
If human emotions and desires can be regenerated after being swallowed... wouldn't it be possible to achieve sustainable fishing?
"..." Ling Xiao fell silent again.
The two finally reached the entrance of the underground palace, which had been sealed off by yellow and black security tapes. Two field operators armed to the teeth came forward and took out what looked like a temperature measuring gun. instrument.
Sun Hang stood still and let the other party shine his eyes with the "temperature measuring gun".
"The iris comparison is completed." The field operator nodded to Sun Hang, "You can go in... But who is this person?"
"With my authority, can't I bring one more person in?"
"Of course."
"Then don't ask." Sun Hang pulled off the warning tape and got in, followed closely by Ling Xiao.
Compared with the tunnels filled with people and equipment, the scene in the underground palace has not changed much. The soldiers and warriors are still guarding the bone throne, and the red crystal, which is similar in size and shape to the Rubik's Cube, lies quietly. On the Bone Throne.
"These are all weird things." Sun Hang said to Ling Xiao, "These warriors, the throne made of bones, and the thing on the throne, they are all."
Ling Xiao nodded and waited for Sun Hang to continue.
"The enemies you will face in the future are also strange things." Sun Hang walked over, took out the long sword from a soldier's hand, and threw it to Ling Xiao, "Try two moves with it."< br>
This terracotta warrior had no shield, and the only weapon in its hand was taken away by Sun Hang. The moment it received Sun Hang's order, it strode towards Ling Xiao and raised its only remaining weapon - —Hit his fist towards Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao suddenly jumped back a big step, and the long iron sword dragged on the ground and made a harsh friction sound - for an underage child, this long sword weighing nearly ten kilograms is still a bit too heavy. .
Before Ling Xiao could stand still, he picked up the long sword in his hand and smashed it towards the soldiers.
"Too urgent." Sun Hang, who was watching the battle with his arms crossed, sighed and shook his head.
As long as the soldiers dodge this sword, the huge inertia will cause Ling Xiao's body to be instantly unbalanced and throw forward... Sun Hang is already ready to stop the soldiers at any time.
But what Sun Hang didn't expect was that the soldier was also stubborn. It had no intention of dodging, but raised an arm to block the sword that was coming.
"Clang!"
There was a crisp sound, and a one-centimeter-deep gash appeared on the soldier's arm, and the long sword was shaken and fell to the ground. Ling Xiao immediately wanted to pick it up, but the soldier stepped forward. He directly stepped on the long sword under his feet.
The soldier's other foot immediately kicked Ling Xiao in front of him. Ling Xiao had no choice but to roll around on the ground in an unsightly posture, barely dodging the kick.
The soldier bent down and picked up the sword.
"Stop." Sun Hang said.
Ling Xiao got up from the ground and patted the dust on his body.
There was a slight tear in his tiger's mouth, and blood beads slid down his fingertips - he used all his strength with the sword just now, with almost no reservation.
This is a desperate style of play. Once you miss, you will basically expose the flaw to your opponent.
But for Ling Xiao, this is indeed the only chance to kill the soldiers.
He had never learned fighting, let alone swordsmanship. Swinging the heavy long sword was extremely energy-consuming, and his opponent was a tireless monster warrior... Even if Ling Xiao adopted a roundabout tactic, it would be meaningless.
The longer he delays, the greater his disadvantage.
"Do you know why you lost?" Sun Hang asked.
If it were someone else, they might have given an answer based on skills, mentality or some other aspects, but Ling Xiao said honestly: "It's too hard, I can't cut it."
"That's right... If you can't even break through the defense, all skills and tactics will be useless." Sun Hang nodded with satisfaction, "Then do you know how humans fight against those ridiculously powerful monsters?"
"Rely on the hunter?" Ling Xiao raised his head and looked at Sun Hang.
"You're probably right...but the standard answer should be 'relying on the power of treacherous objects'." Sun Hang said, "There is an old saying that 'learn from the barbarians to gain skills to defeat the barbarians'. The hunter's ability also comes from the charlatans... Judging from the current situation, only the power of the monster can compete with the monster.”
"Can I become a hunter?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Yes, but it's not necessary." Sun Hang said, "I brought you here just to give you the power of magic...but in another way."
"Another way?"
"Have you ever heard of trick equipment and qualified people?" When Sun Hang said this, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Ye Jiu.
