Chapter 295 Stress Response
"Gloves? Bloodstains?" The hunter was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked down at his hands.
His eyes were full of confusion.
"Blood...why is there blood?"
"Ask you." Sun Hang said, "If you are not injured, it can only be the blood of your teammates, or the blood of that weird thing... But then again, you don't even know whether that weird thing is How could I hurt it if I didn’t see anything?”
"Blood? Whose blood?" The hunter murmured with a confused look on his face.
There was something wrong with this guy... Sun Hang was not sure whether he was frightened by the strange thing or whether his mental state was affected by some unknown force.
"Take off your gloves and take a look?" Sun Hang suggested.
The hunter hesitated, then took off his gloves.
When looking at the opponent's hands, Sun Hang's pupils shrank slightly.
These hands are basically a pair of "human hands", but the skin on the surface is not as smooth as normal humans, but is covered with large and small sarcomas... There seems to be something crawling among these sarcomas, From a distance, it looks like insect eggs wrapped under the skin.
"What happened to your hand?" Sun Hang asked immediately.
He was not sure whether this hunter was infected by the monster... After all, these hunters themselves were infected. To use a popular saying on the Internet: In addition to maintaining the human way of thinking, the essence of monster hunters There is not much difference between it and the monster.
"My hands?" The hunter raised his hands, "What's wrong with my hands?"
His reaction seemed a little slow. After looking at his hands for several seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes and said in horror: "What are these things? They...when did they get into my flesh?" ! ”
As he spoke, he frantically dug at the sarcomas with his fingers. As the sarcomas burst, small, curled-up fleshy tentacles fell out from the sarcomas.
"Another parasitic tentacle?" Sun Hang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
It's not like he has never encountered parasitic tentacles before. This kind of monster is not strong at all... A whole team of senior hunters, no matter how careless they are, can't be wiped out by parasitic tentacles, right?
Most of the parasitic tentacles that fell out of the sarcoma fell into the mud on the ground, and the remaining small parts hung on the hunter's skin relying on the mucus. Under the corrosion of the mucus, the hunter's skin became Very fragile, like a wet napkin, these tiny tentacles easily penetrated his skin and penetrated into the flesh again.
They are said to be tentacles, but they look more like a kind of flesh insect parasitic in the human body.
The hunter had completely lost his mind. He dug and scratched his hands until his flesh was bloody. But the crazier he became, the deeper the insect-like tentacles dug...until he dug until even the bones were exposed. , failed to completely clean up those parasitic tentacles in his own flesh and blood.
"Help me! Help me!" The hunter asked Sun Hang in panic, "Get rid of these bugs! Help me get rid of them! Please!"
Sun Hang did not step forward, but stood there and silently activated his memory reading ability.
This hunter has gone crazy. His brain is in an extremely abnormal state of activity. The images that Sun Hang can read are extremely distorted and mixed with a large number of imaginary images - but in these messy images. In his memory, Sun Hang still captured something valuable.
He saw with his own eyes that the hunter pulled the trigger on his companion's back. He also saw the hunter insert his hands into the chest of another hunter and use brute force to tear the other hunter's chest open... The other members of the fourth team, who the hunter said were "almost completely wiped out", actually all died at his hands.
"You just said that that weird thing has been behind you, right?" Sun Hang suddenly asked.
The hunter was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Yes! That's what it feels like! I can't see it, but I can feel it! It's been chasing me, and I can't get rid of it! Please! Please help me! I really don’t want to die!”
When he said it later, there was even a hint of crying in his words.
"You are right, it is indeed behind you."
A liquid flying blade that didn't know when it circled behind the opponent suddenly cut open the protective clothing worn by the hunter, exposing the opponent's back to the air.
He saw a creature that looked like a manta ray clinging tightly to his back, its suction cups deeply embedded in the hunter's flesh. Through the translucent flesh of this creature, Sun Hang could see that with the breathing-like squirming rhythm, crimson blood was constantly being sucked out of the hunter's body, and then spread to the whole body of the creature.
After the blood "turns" around in the body of the creature, the color will become darker and darker, and then it will be transfused back into the hunter's body - in medical terms, it is equivalent to completing the process. A cardiopulmonary bypass was performed.
It's just that this "equipment" that completes extracorporeal circulation is not a common ECMO, but an unknown strange body.
The hunter also noticed something was wrong. He reached his bloody hand behind his back and immediately touched the strange thing attached to his spine.
His whole body froze in place.
"I estimate that you are probably hopeless." Sun Hang took out his pistol, pulled the bolt, and loaded it.
"Don't...don't...help me..."
"I'm not a doctor, and I don't have much interest in the research of strange objects and infected people." Sun Hang shook his head, "My mission is to collect the memetic samples of Chimera No. 17, and saving people is not included in my mission. As for the rescue force, this position is too deep and they can’t get in.”
"Save me..."
"This is the only thing I can do for you." Sun Hang raised his pistol.
"Boom! Boom!"
The standard Mozambican shooting method is to shoot the target's left and right chests with the first two shots, and then quickly hit the head with one shot.
But the moment Sun Hang fired, the strange manta-ray-like object suddenly released its adsorption state and fell off from the hunter's body.
It glided in the air for a short distance with its outstretched wings, and then got into the mud. But the next second, its body floated to the surface of the mud again, and floating with it were hundreds of hyphae that pierced its body.
While Sun Hang was talking to the hunter, he had already used Tai Sui's mycelium to set up a dragnet around him - with the two people standing as the center, this mycelium was woven into a large net with a radius of fifty meters. , and if necessary, can even double the radius in half a second.
Sun Hang quickly devoured the manta ray creature - to his surprise, this seemingly inconspicuous creature actually revealed two very interesting skills.
The first skill is parasitism. As the name suggests, Sun Hang can parasitize himself onto other creatures and absorb nutrients by absorbing the blood of other creatures... In addition to blood, he can also absorb memes. But in terms of efficiency, it is much worse than Taotie.
However, Taotie is one of the top ten "super monsters" in the sequence, and its most important ability is to devour. If all its special skills are compared to this little monster that appears from nowhere, then Taotie will It's better to buy a piece of tofu and get killed.
As for the other skill, for Sun Hang, it is much more useful than parasitism.
"Hallucinogenic".
This weird thing can absorb the blood and memes from the host and then inject them back to the host, and transform these things into an almost unsolvable "hallucinogen" - because this part of the transformed blood and memes comes from The host itself, so the host's body will not produce any "rejection reaction" to them... The host will not even notice that his consciousness has been disturbed. From the perspective of the host, even if he receives abnormal information, he will think it is normal... In the long run, this "hallucinogen" can even completely Distorting the host's normal cognition and turning a person into a complete madman.
The most interesting thing for Sun Hang is that this skill will not be suppressed by memes.
In other words, even if the target is an invincible primary monster, as long as he can successfully parasitize the opponent and transmit back the memes he "stolen" from the opponent, then he can rely on this "hallucinogenic" ability. , controlling an original primary monster.
This kind of behavior is very dangerous... The original primary monster in the hallucinogenic state may lose control at any time, and the success rate is infinitely close to zero - but in any case, Sun Hang finally obtained a person who can control the original primary The trick creates a "deadly threat" skill.

A bold idea even came to his mind: next time the three apes appear, why not try using these two skills on them?
If it succeeds...
Sun Hang did not continue thinking. Faintly, he seemed to feel two cold eyes.
Why are there two looks? It's naturally because one of the three monkeys is covering his eyes.
Sun Hang looked around and found no sign of the three apes.
"What is this? A warning?"
Fortunately, this feeling of being watched quickly disappeared, and Sun Hang's newly acquired abilities were not erased by some unknown force.
After dragging the hunter's body to the ground, Sun Hang got on the hoverbike - it must be said that this amphibious vehicle has a wide range of applications. In addition to water and flat areas, it can also be used in deserts and Special areas like swamps can also come in handy.
Nearly a quarter of the hunters who participated in the operation chose this vehicle.
"If I had known, I would have asked Yang Qi for one." Sun Hang thought to himself, "It's more comfortable to sit on this thing than to hold a dragon's tail that keeps swinging around."
The hoverbike still had 60% of the fuel left. Sun Hang twisted the handle, and the motorcycle engine suddenly roared. Two tongues of flames spurted out from the rear of the motorcycle, instantly pushing Sun Hang and the motorcycle forward. .
Ordinary hoverbikes use compressed air pumps as their power source, but this one is different. This one is also equipped with a rocket thruster.
The streamlined front of the car tore through the dense rain curtain. Sun Hang clicked a few times on the motorcycle's control panel and turned on the music player.
The network has been disconnected, and all that can be played now are songs pre-stored in the system... Sun Hang didn't know which department this hoverbike belonged to before it was recruited, but in short, the owner of this motorcycle has a pretty good taste in music. .
Heavy metal rock and the current stormy weather perfectly complement each other.
Sun Hang raised the volume to the maximum, then turned the accelerator to the bottom. The speed of the hoverbike instantly reached 340 yards per hour, speeding on the swamp-like road.
The airflow cover pulls the shape of the rainwater, forming a shock wave surface at the tail of the motorcycle like when a fighter jet breaks the sound barrier. The rainwater mixed with mud splashes into the air dozens of meters high, and after a short stay in the air, it falls again.
Soon, Sun Hang saw the giant thing emitting light fluorescence.
"Chimera No. 17." Sun Hang said to himself, "Why does Anna want me to avoid you?"
Sun Hang did not slow down or turn off the on-board audio of the hoverbike, but just rushed towards Chimera No. 17.
A strong sense of crisis arose spontaneously. Sun Hang seemed to see the fluorescence on the surface of Chimera No. 17 gathering in one direction. He subconsciously turned the handlebars, and the hoverbike made a 360-degree turn on the mud. Swirling and drifting, at the same time, a blazing white beam fell on Sun Hang's driving path just now.
"Are you kidding? I'm the only one!" Sun Hang was angry. He operated the hoverbike and drew a large circle with a radius of twenty meters before pointing the front of the car at Chimera No. 17 again.
At the same time, observation post No. 7, the frontline command post.
"A strong energy reaction was observed!" A technician responsible for observing the status of Chimera No. 17 shouted loudly, "It is determined to be a 'stress reaction'!"
"Can you calculate the impact point of the energy flow?" Ye Xuan asked immediately.
"Area D15, two kilometers away from Chimera No. 17!" Another technician said loudly.
"Area D15..." Ye Xuan immediately walked to the holographic ground, her long fingers rising and falling on the virtual keyboard, and a line was immediately marked in red on the holographic ground.
"This is the planned route of the first team. They are approaching Chimera No. 17!" an officer said excitedly.
"It shouldn't be... We have just picked up the Puppet Master and Night Fury. Logically speaking, Sun Hang should be the only one left in the first team... One person, two kilometers away, according to previous calculations, it is impossible to cause Chimera No. 17’s stress reaction!” a technician wondered.
"Even the actual observed data will continue to change... The calculation results previously calculated have long been meaningless." Ye Xuan frowned and said, "I just want to know now, is Sun Hang still alive? ”
