Chapter 301: Nine meals in three days
"Huh?" The spirit remover obviously didn't react.
"Forget it..." Sun Hang didn't bother to explain. He walked directly to the collection equipment - the collection operation had been completed, and all the indicator lights on the control panel were extinguished, leaving only a green sign representing "Complete". Flashing time and time again.
The drill bit that penetrated the giant cocoon has been disconnected. The entire equipment is making disturbing noises from top to bottom, and a strong smell of burning wafts out from inside the mechanical structure.
The two tanks used to install the coolant were all broken, and the viscous coolant flowed all over the floor... Sun Hang had to secretly sigh that he was lucky - if the time required for collection was increased by another third, The whole machine is probably going to explode.
Although these collection equipment are disposable and produced in a short period of time, the materials and craftsmanship have not shrunk at all - Yang Qi and Sun Hang said, even if it is the lowest level of the federal government, The purchase price of these sample collection equipment still reaches 12 million.
This does not include the price of drill bits and batteries - because these two components are strictly man-made artifacts, the actual cost cannot be measured in money at all.
According to the technician, this collection equipment can operate continuously for at least 48 hours...but the actual situation is far from this estimated value.
But no matter what, as long as it can complete the task, then this is a qualified device.
Sun Hang manipulated the liquid metal blade to cut through the piece of scrap metal worth twelve million, and then took out the strange battery.
This strange battery is not only the driving source of the collection equipment, but also the storage container for the collected samples.
At this time, the remains of the eel monster inside the battery have completely disappeared. Even the cotton-like meat residue is no longer visible, and the liquid filled in it has turned into a color between black and smoke gray. In a chaotic state, when the container is shaken, a trace of black-gray smoke can be seen slowly flowing in it.
It's like putting a water-soluble solute into an oily solvent. The two cannot dissolve each other, so they can only appear in this entangled but distinct state.
"The mission is completed, it's time to evacuate." Sun Hang unzipped the zipper on the back of the combat uniform and stuffed the container into the sealed compartment inside. "Oh, I almost forgot, I'll give this back to you."
He handed the shotgun back to the soul-killer who was still in a dazed state.
"Oh..." The exorcist took the shotgun blankly and subconsciously wanted to put it back into the sealed box, but two seconds later, she suddenly noticed something was wrong.
The reason why the gun had to be sealed in a box before was because the gun had always been in a state of "dissatisfaction", like a hungry man, roaring and screaming all the time. Follow your own hunger...
But now, after this gun passed through Sun Hang's hands, it has become extremely docile... just like a well-fed cat, lying lazily on the windowsill, indifferent to the world. Basking in the sun...
What rage, what madness, what bloodthirsty killing...the emotions that exist in the memory of the Soul Exterminator seem to be all her hallucinations.
A hungry tiger that never had enough to eat was transformed into a fat orange that was full of food and water right under her eyes...
This contrast caused the exorcist, whose mind was barely functioning, to fall into a state of outage again.
Sun Hang seemed to have guessed what the spiritual master was thinking. He pointed at the box and said, "It is only temporarily full. If you starve it for two days, its true colors will be revealed...so I suggest you give it Stuff it back into the box. Also, it’s better to put more charms on it... No, it’s better to put it on several times.”
"Why?" The spirit remover asked subconsciously.
"It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. Once upon a time, it was difficult to change the ocean because of water, do you understand?" Sun Hang said eloquently, "I fed it today, but in a few days, it will have to live the same life as before. After three days of starvation and nine meals, guess how resentful it will be.”
"Three... nine meals in three days?"
"If it doesn't work, just get some death row prisoners to feed it." Sun Hang shrugged, "Anyway, general anesthesia is required before execution, and the prisoner won't feel any pain. It's okay to use this thing for executions, injections, or shootings. No difference.”
As for ethics and morals... Sun Hang doesn't think Tianshu Tower researchers and federal government officials care about these things.
"Let's go." Sun Hang patted the sample container wrapped in the interlayer of the combat uniform behind him, "Trying for a while, maybe this Chimera No. 17 can do something else... If it is a spirit-like creature, Things are easy to deal with, but if it comes with something that neither you nor I are familiar with professionally, it will be a lot of fun.”
"Just withdraw like this?" Perhaps because he received too much shock in a short period of time, the soul-killing master's brain has been jumping back and forth between the two extremes of overclocking and crashing, and even normal logical thinking has been obviously affected. The influence, "I...should we collect more intelligence? After all...after all, it was not easy to get in touch with Chimera No. 17 at such a close distance..."
"Isn't all the information that needs to be collected in this jar?" This time, Sun Hang was stunned, "Is your head broken?"
Even Sun Hang himself didn't realize that his casual ridicule revealed the truth.
"I...my head is a little messy." The spiritual master helped his forehead, "Can you give me some time to sort it out...let me take it easy."
"If you want to take it slow, take it slow on the road." Sun Hang quickly walked to the junction of the rain curtain and the dry area, but when he was about to step into the rain curtain, he paused for a moment.
"The next section of the road should be the most difficult to walk. We may incur the stress reaction of Chimera No. 17 at any time." Sun Hang turned to the spiritual master who was following him and said, "So my suggestion is to separate. Action, my hatred value is relatively high, and I carry the meme sample of Chimera No. 17, I should be a priority target, so don’t follow me.”
"Then...what should I do?" the spirit remover asked.
"How did you get in? How do you get out now?" Sun Hang said.
"I...I didn't cause Chimera No. 17 to have a stress reaction when I came in..." the Spirit Exterminator said innocently.
"...That's probably because I helped you attract all the firepower." Sun Hang sighed helplessly, "It's still the same. I'll rush out first and wait until Chimera has fired several energy flows and entered the cooling period. , come out again, do you understand?”
Before Sun Hang finished speaking, a blazing white energy flow suddenly passed over his head, illuminating a large area.
This energy flow penetrated directly into the rain curtain and shot into the distance.
"Huh? What's going on?" Sun Hang looked at the direction of the energy flow's shooting with some doubts. "It's already this time. Is there still a complete team of hunters approaching here?" Immediately afterwards, the second and The third energy stream was also shot out. After the three energy streams were shot, Chimera No. 17 once again fell into a "cooling period" that lasted several minutes.
"Three energy flows, three different directions?" The question mark in Sun Hang's heart became bigger and bigger, "Which teams caused the stress reaction? You have already finished your work here, and you are just here Came belatedly to die? ”
Soon, Sun Hang's doubts were answered.
Dozens of large military drones swayed into his field of vision. The bottom of these large drones was either equipped with a sitting frame filled with fully armed soldiers, or it was hung and disassembled. The packaged collection equipment parts flew toward the giant cocoon like moths to a flame.
Under the influence of strong radiation, the electronic components of drones became very unreliable. In just a few seconds, Sun Hang witnessed the crash of several drones - thanks to these drones The soldiers on board were all equipped with parachutes, so there were no serious casualties.
"What's going on?" Sun Hang quickly walked to a fallen soldier and grabbed his arm and asked.
"We were ordered to come for support!" the soldier said in an unclear voice while cutting the parachute rope wrapped around him with a dagger. "Our superiors asked us to deliver the latest batch of collection equipment to the target area at any cost. ! ”
"Saturation reinforcement?" Hearing what the soldier said, Sun Hang roughly guessed the command's decision - it was probably the continuous burst of energy he triggered earlier that made the command aware of the stress response of Chimera No. 17. " "Cooling period", so they decided to use the human sea tactic, using human lives to attract the firepower of Chimera No. 17, and gain enough opportunities for the hunters.
Sun Hang didn't know how many soldiers' lives had been taken away by the three consecutive shots just now.
These people are all drones with the intention of dying...as cannon fodder to attract firepower is their entire value.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Do you have an internal communication channel? Tell everyone that the mission has been completed. Evacuate immediately." Sun Hang waved his hand, and the liquid metal blade flashed past to help the soldier cut off all the parachute ropes. "There is no need to do this. A unnecessary sacrifice.”
"Mission accomplished?" The soldier was overjoyed at first, and then said with a look of embarrassment, "The interference in the radiation zone is too serious, and the radio communication distance is very limited. I can only notify nearby comrades."
"Then pass it on one by one, using everyone's communication terminal as a transfer station, and the news can always be spread bit by bit." Sun Hang patted the soldier's shoulder, "Let's go, hurry up, don't let those people just Death in vain.”
Although the mission has been completed, the people who have just died are not meaningless - their deaths at least opened a several-minute evacuation window for Sun Hang and others.
"You, and all of you, follow her!" Sun Hang pointed at the spirit remover, "Don't follow me. The meme sample collected is on me. When Chimera No. 17's skills are cooled down, it is estimated that it will You will just stare at me and fight alone!”
As early as the first hunt for Chimera No. 17, everyone already knew that this guy could seize human memories by devouring human brains... Those hunters who were killed had obviously exposed the "Pesticide Plan" , with the IQ of Chimera No. 17, it can definitely understand the importance of the meme sample on Sun Hang.
"The sample is on you?" Several soldiers on the side were shocked, "Then we should follow you. Protecting the sample is the highest priority task!"
"Is following me useful except for killing a few more people?" Sun Hang couldn't help but cursed, "Do you have the ability to block the energy flow for me, or can you kill the monsters blocking the way? Wouldn’t it be nice if a few fewer people died?”
"But...but...this is an order..."
"Fuck the order." Sun Hang cursed, "As the captain of the first team, I order you to stay the fuck away from me, as far away as possible. Besides, I have commandeered this thing!"
< br>
After saying that, Sun Hang got on a hoverbike that had just been dropped from the air and turned the throttle to the bottom.
……
Sun Hang's guess was right. Shortly after he left the dry area, a series of energy flow blows followed... Fortunately, before each energy flow was launched, Sun Hang's intuition could give him a warning first, so that Every time, he was able to avoid the attacks that were enough to evaporate him and his car.
Finally, just a few seconds before the fourth round of energy flow finished cooling down, Sun Hang finally drove out of the maximum range of the energy flow.
He turned around and saw a stream of energy hitting a place about one kilometer away from him, while the next two streams of energy were shot elsewhere randomly.
There is quite a feeling of incompetence and rage.
Sun Hang, the primary target, left the shooting range, and the only ones who suffered were those who had not had time to withdraw.
I don’t know if the Soul Exterminator’s group was hit by the energy flow.
"Bless yourself... I should have brought that shotgun out earlier."
Sun Hang started the hoverbike again, and the island-like concrete base of Observation Post No. 7 could already be seen. The base was densely filled with figures wearing protective suits, and dozens of large drones were hovering above it. Over the observation post, high-lumen searchlights illuminated the area like daylight.
Before Sun Hang's hoverbike even approached, a large group of people drove up to meet it.
A familiar figure flapped its wings and fell from the sky, landing directly on the back seat of the hoverbike.
"Did you encounter any danger?" Wang Xiyi put her arm around Sun Hang's waist and asked.
"It's okay. All the monsters we encountered later were spiritual monsters. Fortunately, a professional hunter rushed to the scene, otherwise the meme sample might not have been collected," Sun Hang said.
"Spirit-like monster? The professional hunter you are talking about...couldn't it be a 'spiritual exterminator'?" Wang Xiyi was stunned, "I remember she was in the eighth team."
< br>
"Do you know her?"
"We met a few times and chatted once." Wang Xiyi nodded, "The feeling she gave me...is a bit similar to who I used to be."
