Chapter 272 Metal Snake
"Uh, Lao Wang, how many hunters have you killed in total?" Ye Jiu swallowed and asked.
"Four...oh no, to be precise, there should be only three. One of them was chased too fast by me and finally chose to kill himself." Wang Xiyi recalled while driving, "That guy's ability is to touch the Everything turned into a bomb. When he was desperate, he turned himself into a super bomb and wanted to die with me, but unfortunately, it was just a little short.”
"Is it that much worse?" Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, I lay in the ICU for a month and a half, and finally managed to survive with the powerful resilience given by the black dragon meme. As for that guy, I heard from Yang Qi that there seemed to be no scum left."< br>
"Hiss... Speaking of which, I also received the job of hunting down fallen hunters once." Ye Jiu said, "But just after I put on my equipment, I was notified from above that the mission was cancelled. From then on, I I have never received such a mission before.”
"Are the number of fallen hunters... very rare?" Jiang Yu in the back seat couldn't help but interjected and asked.
She had just obtained the identity of a hunter not long ago, and everything in this new world seemed dangerous and unfamiliar to her.
"It's not that small...a lot of them pop up every year." Ye Jiu took off his mask and rubbed his itchy nose, "After all, not all memes have such high stability, no. Memes can subtly affect people's mentality and even completely distort a person's personality and preferences."
"Why...I didn't feel this impact?" Jiang Yu asked again.
"Firstly, it may be that you have become an infected person for too short a time, and you haven't noticed it yet. Secondly, you are lucky. The meme that Sun Hang infected you happens to be one of those with extremely high stability. Type." Ye Jiu thought, "Well... I think it's most likely the latter. Song Yarong from the Tianfu City Monster Research Institute is also infected with the same meme, and she doesn't seem to be affected much."
"If...I mean if, if I am affected by memes in the future, how will the federal government deal with me?" Jiang Yu asked weakly.
"Handle it? Usually we don't." Ye Jiu shrugged, "Let alone hunters, look at the social workers who work in the office building, just pull a few out for examination, they all have more or less psychological problems. This is normal. As long as they can still work, no one will care about the inner health of the cows and horses, or whether they have any dark thoughts, unless..."
"Unless?"
"Unless you put those dark negative thoughts into actual actions and endanger public safety, the federal government will take 'harmless treatment' measures against you."
"Harmless treatment...what is it?" Jiang Yu's slender eyebrows twitched and asked cautiously.
"It's similar to... dumping garbage into an incinerator." Ye Jiu laughed, "Actually, it's the same as the death penalty, but it's a little more complicated to deal with infected people. If you accidentally cause a large-scale infection, it will be fun. But it’s big.”
"If... I become a fallen hunter in the future, will you deal with me?" Jiang Yu asked again.
"Us? It's probably not our turn." Ye Jiu said, "Only those tough problems are qualified for us to take action... The vast majority of fallen hunters can be solved by special forces composed of ordinary people."
"I'm a little scared..." Jiang Yu whispered.
"What are you afraid of?" Wang Xiyi asked.
"I'm afraid what if..."
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Wang Xiyi suddenly interrupted her, "Relax, you'll probably be dead before you fall."
"I'll go...Old Wang, how can you be so comforting?" Ye Jiu couldn't help but complain.
"I didn't comfort her, I just told her the truth. As an adult, she has to learn to accept reality." Wang Xiyi said lightly, "Just like this operation, there will definitely be some among us... and it's possible It’s all that will remain in the occupied area forever.”
"Bah, bah, bah!" Ye Jiu said repeatedly, "Didn't your mother tell you not to say such unlucky words before going on a mission?"
"I don't have a mother." Wang Xiyi said indifferently. "As long as I can remember, I lived in a federal research institution, undergoing various experiments and training, until they sent me to be a hunter."
"Uh... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention this..." Ye Jiu looked awkward and quickly put the mask back on.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Wang Xiyi said, "I have never had the concept of family since I was a child, so even if someone scolds me that your mother is dead, I don't feel anything."
"What about now?" Ye Jiu asked again.
"Now?"
"Uh...I mean, Sun Hang."
"He...he gives me a very special feeling."
"Boyfriend?"
"No..." Wang Xiyi shook her head, "There was something about him that made me subconsciously want to get close. Yang Qi told me that it was because he absorbed my blood and the black dragon's meme in order to save me, making him There was a wonderful connection between me and him...but I always felt that it shouldn’t be that simple.”
"Is it possible that this feeling is called 'love'?" Ye Jiu joked, "Did you feel this way before he pulled away your mutant meme?"
"...I can't remember clearly." Wang Xiyi said, her cheeks were slightly red, but they returned to normal instantly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this topic." Ye Jiu waved his hand, "Don't talk about it, you guy burst out and said, find Sun Hang back this time and marry him... That's more powerful than those unlucky ones just now. There are many auspicious words.”
"Oh, you still believe this?" Wang Xiyi asked a little funny.
"This kind of stuff is very metaphysical. Don't blame me for being superstitious. It doesn't cost any money anyway. Just have some faith in it, right?" Ye Jiu said.
"I just think you've read too many anime and novels... Huh?" Before Wang Xiyi could finish her words, her right foot had already stepped on the brake.
"All vehicles, stop moving forward!" Wang Xiyi turned on the intercom and said loudly.
About a hundred meters in front of the vehicle, the road was blocked.
The vines emerging from the ground intertwined with each other, like giant pythons, straddling the road.
The motorcade stopped and everyone jumped out of the car one after another. "We should have entered the occupied area now, right?" Zhulong walked up, "We are already more than one kilometer away from the orange-red boundary marker."
"Yes." Wang Xiyi nodded, "Be careful."
"Captain!" A field operator ran over, "The vine blocking the road ahead has a memetic reaction! It should be a plant-like monster!"
"Plant... D-shaped monsters." Zhulong murmured, "My ability is not very effective against this kind of monsters, not to mention, I can feel the cold aura emanating from the vines. , very close to my attributes... I’m afraid it will be difficult for my attack to hurt him.”
"This is a professional counterpart!" Ye Jiu suddenly jumped to the front and raised the wolf fang in his hand. A crimson flame instantly ignited on the surface of the wolf fang, engulfing the entire wolf fang. Wrapped in it. "Plant-like monsters with cold attributes are simply an opponent tailor-made for me! Don't compete with me!"
"No one will fight with you." Wang Xiyi crossed her arms, "If you want to take action, do it quickly and don't waste time on your way."
"We will help you hold down the battle and win the battle quickly." Zhulong also said.
"Okay! Leave it to me!" Ye Jiu shouted, holding the wolf fang and rushing towards the vines blocking the road.
At this time, Zhong Ling silently walked up to Wang Xiyi and gently touched the latter's arm with her fingers.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xiyi turned around and asked.
"Are we going the wrong way?" Zhong Ling whispered, "Sun Hang is also driving. Since this road is blocked, he probably didn't go through here."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"But there is only one road from the vicinity of Post No. 198... Sun Hang can't drive his car and fly over the mountain, right?" Wang Xiyi thought, "But what you said makes sense. I didn't see anything along the way. What ruts are there? Is it possible that he is not walking this way?”
"He might have abandoned his car and walked." Zhulong said, "There are too many places where he could abandon his car along the way. If we look for them all, it will take at least a few months."
"Does the car Sun Hang drove have satellite positioning?" Jiang Yu suddenly asked.
"Yes, but within the scope of Yongye, satellite positioning is useless. Even the navigation system has to rely on multiple ground base stations for accurate positioning." Wang Xiyi shook her head, "The only reliable one at present is the high-power military Long-distance radio communication, our bracelet relies on this network... However, as early as the day of the accident, the signal of Sun Hang's bracelet had disappeared."
Just when Wang Xiyi and others were discussing whether they were going the wrong way, Ye Jiu had already rushed to the vines, and the flaming wolf fang fell heavily, directly hitting the place where the vines were densest.
"Boom!!!"
The flames exploded instantly, and large tracts of vines turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
“It’s cool!”
Ye Jiu let out a low cry, swung the wolf fang like a tiger with great force, swept it down several times, and soon cleared an opening on the road that was large enough for vehicles to pass through.
"This guy... doesn't even have the ability to fight back?" Ye Jiu thought to himself, "Aside from being dozens of times thicker than ordinary vines, don't these vines have anything special about them?"
Suspicious as it was, Ye Jiu's movements did not slow down at all. In the blink of an eye, all the vines on the road had been cleared away.
"It's done!" The flames on the wolf's fangs gradually extinguished. Ye Jiu let out a long breath, turned around and waved to the convoy, "Come here!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake slightly!
"Earthquake?" Ye Jiu was stunned, "No, it's not an earthquake... The vibration came from under the feet. Could it be from the root system of the vine? It didn't realize that it was attacked at this time, right? This reflection arc is too Is it long?”
Just as Ye Jiu was looking around, Wang Xiyi in the distance directly entered a high-level dragon transformation state. With a flutter of huge dragon wings, she rushed directly into the air.
Not only Wang Xiyi, Zhulong also summoned the cold water, creating an arc-shaped barrier in front of everyone.
The corpses controlled by Zhong Ling all emerged from the "coffins" fixed on the roof of the car, and formed a formation to meet the attack.
"As for it, isn't it just a vine trick, starting such a big battle?" As soon as this idea came out of Ye Jiu's head, he felt a huge force coming from his body, and the next second, his The perspective has shifted to mid-air.
He flew up - with the support of hundreds of kilograms of armor, his whole body was still lifted up, and he also flew to an altitude of nearly a hundred meters.
At this time, Ye Jiu saw clearly what was attacking him.
That's a vine... No, it should be a giant snake, a giant metal snake made entirely of "industrial waste"!
It is not a living thing, but a patchwork of various metal objects, various sizes of rotten iron pieces, metal blocks compacted by garbage disposal plants, twisted car shells and bicycle frames, plus A lot of rusty construction steel bars and rails that looked like they had just been ripped off the railway—these things Forming the body of the giant snake, they squeeze and rub against each other, making a tooth-searing sound. Every time the giant snake moves, a large number of metal objects will fall from its body, but these fallen things are often still there. Before it falls to the ground, it will be absorbed into the giant snake's body and become a part of other parts.
The diameter of the giant snake is more than five meters. As for the length-the part above the ground alone is more than 100 meters. No one knows how long the part underground is.
The giant metal snake has no head, only a huge mouth that is close to the cross-section of the body. The metal objects on the edge of the huge mouth are falling into the huge mouth every second, while the metal objects on the torso are constantly moving upward. Gong - The entire body of the giant snake is dynamic, and a wonderful balance is formed in this dynamic.
“Bang!!”
Ye Jiu finally fell heavily to the ground. Thanks to Shafa's defensive ability, except for his head being a little dizzy, he did not suffer any substantial damage.
"Damn, what kind of monster is this?" He shook his head vigorously and sat up from the ground.
"You're lucky. That guy just knocked you away instead of swallowing you up." Zhulong pulled Ye Jiu up. "Otherwise, with this armor on your face, I'm afraid you would turn into it." part of the body.”
"...No way?" Ye Jiu stuck the wolf fang on the ground and looked up at the giant metal snake not far away, "What kind of weird thing is this? Animal type? Or artifact?"
< br>
"I prefer the spirit type (energy type). There seems to be a force similar to a magnetic field that brings these metal objects together." Zhulong said, "If I remember correctly, that guy Sun Hang has The ability to control metal ”
"But he can't control so many metal objects at once, right?"
