Chapter 355 Lurker
Not long after Sun Hang finished saying this, an engineer with his head lowered slowly walked over. The moment he passed Song Yarong, he turned around suddenly and suddenly rushed towards Song Yarong!
It was also at this moment that Sun Hang felt the extremely strong mysterious memetic aura emanating from him!
This engineer turned from a completely normal human being into a monster with a powerful aura in less than 0.1 seconds!
The engineer immediately threw Song Yarong to the ground and strangled her neck with both hands!
He brought his cheek closer to Song Yarong, as if he was about to kiss her, but his mouth was now split to the base of his ear, and a tentacle as thick as an arm and full of sharp teeth replaced his tongue, from his His throat stretched out and he went straight to Song Yarong's front.
Although Song Yarong is a monster hunter, she is not technically a combatant. Neither her fighting skills nor her reaction speed can compare with those elite hunters who have been fighting monsters all year round. After falling down, she just struggled instinctively, trying to push the other person away from her body.
But what surprised her was that the power coming from this devious engineer was actually more terrifying than herself with the Tai Sui meme!
The opponent's knees were firmly pressed against Song Yarong's lower abdomen, his elbows were spread outward, pressing Song Yarong's arms, and his hands were completely wrapped around Song Yarong's neck, squeezing her to death.
If Song Yarong was not a Taisui infected person, her neck would have been strangled.
Not even a turn for suffocation.
Feeling the smell of blood hitting her face, Song Yarong kicked up with her feet as hard as she could - this was the only part of her body that could move now. The powerful kicks hit the deception engineer's crotch continuously... However, The other party was completely unmoved.
After the engineer became a monster, its male-specific physical weaknesses seemed to disappear.
"Don't move! Tilt your head back and keep it close to the ground!" Sun Hang's voice came from the side, and Song Yarong did it immediately without hesitation.
A strong gust of wind came, and the head that was less than five centimeters away from Song Yarong disappeared in front of her eyes in an instant, and the toothed tentacle that had been attached to her face left a series of deep marks on her face. Various bloodstains.
Fortunately, due to the recovery ability of the Tai Sui meme, this minor injury will not cause disfigurement - if the high-tech prosthetic eye did not provide many conveniences in research, Song Yarong could even be able to regrow her missing eye.
The pressure suddenly relaxed, and Song Yarong realized that it was Sun Hang who kicked the deception engineer's neck in half, and the head with long tentacles flew away like a football and hit the frozen ground hard. There was a dull sound on the soil.
"Not dead yet?"
Sun Hang frowned, and saw that the strange thing without its head began to change again - its entire upper body split open, forming a big mouth full of sharp teeth, and then it leaned down and swallowed Song Yarong's entire head. Got in! !
But before the big mouth could close, the strange creature froze in place.
Tens of millions of hyphae have pierced its body and snatched away all the memes in its body!
"A disgusting rotten smell..." Sun Hang briefly commented on the "food" he had just eaten, and then withdrew the mycelium.
The empty shell without the meme suddenly turned into a pool of pus and blood, which fell on Song Yarong's body.
The expensive down jacket was immediately riddled with pus and blood, and the white goose and duck down inside leaked out. It made a hissing sound when it came into contact with the pus and blood, and the smell of burnt protein was very strong. It quickly spread.
Fortunately, the combat uniform Song Yarong wore underneath was highly corrosion-resistant and water-repellent. As soon as the thick pus and blood fell on the surface of the combat uniform, it turned into small round droplets, and then rolled down from both sides. Go down.
"Are you still alive?" Sun Hang pulled Song Yarong up from the ground.
"...alive." Song Yarong nodded, trying to calm down his rapid breathing little by little.
The surrounding area has become a state of martial law. Soldiers and operators responsible for security rushed in and pointed their guns at the researchers and engineers who had not yet realized what was happening.
"Put down your guns!" Sun Hang shouted loudly.
Embarrassingly, these soldiers did not obey Sun Hang's instructions.
"Everyone...ahem...put down your guns!!" Song Yarong repeated Sun Hang's order.
The soldiers hesitantly put down their guns.
Song Yarong also knew why Sun Hang asked the soldiers to put down their guns - since Chimera No. 17 can turn an engineer into a monster, it can also turn a guard soldier into a monster. Once one of these soldiers is caught and shoots at this group of researchers and engineers... then the development progress of PFDA will instantly go back a lot... especially those precious technicians who want to use it when there are not many left. It is almost impossible to select and train a batch of people within a certain period of time.
These people are precious... In other words, their lives are valuable.
"Implement the No. 3 emergency plan and everyone will return to the institute headquarters immediately. In addition, the institute will be notified to conduct the most comprehensive and detailed physical examination for all members of the project team!" Song Yarong said.
"This will waste a lot of time..." Sun Hang muttered quietly from the side.
"There is no way, if something like this happens, everyone is in danger... If a comprehensive inspection is not carried out, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to work." Song Yarong sighed and whispered to Sun Hang, "No one wants to think about themselves. While you were concentrating, your colleagues around you suddenly turned into something strange, right?”
"Were you shocked just now?" Sun Hang asked.
"I was a little scared... The most important thing is that it was too sudden. My brain didn't react at all, and my whole head was blank." Song Yarong touched the healed wound on her face, "I even forgot to use my ability. .”
"In the future, you should do more practical training when you have time...after all, you still have the identity of a monster hunter." Sun Hang said.
"Let's talk about the future matters later... Chimera No. 17 cannot be solved, so how can we have anything to talk about in the future." Song Yarong said, "Let's get back to the topic... Did that guy just suddenly become deceitful?" "Yes. ." Sun Hang nodded, "I didn't feel his breath until he turned into a monster... Before that, he felt no different from an ordinary person."
"What is the cause of the deception? Is there something unclean here in the test site, or has he been infected for a long time but has been in the 'incubation period'? Or..."
When Song Yarong said this, she couldn't help but lower her voice: "Is it because of... emotions?"
Emotions can cause human beings to become deceitful... It is already a semi-open secret in the academic world, especially after the Chen Hongjuan incident. Every researcher who has been in contact with this incident signed a signature at the request of Tianshu Tower. Song Yarong is also one of them who signed a confidentiality agreement.
In order to prevent the public from falling into panic, this cannot be made public... but quietly, whether it is the federal government or various weird research institutions in various places, research work on the effects of emotions on human beings has been carried out subtly. .
The most obvious point is that a large number of psychological counseling institutions have been established in Tianfu City, and dozens of hotlines for psychological counseling and emotional counseling have been opened. On the surface, this is to ensure the mental health of Tianfu City citizens under special circumstances during special times. , but in fact, these investments are entirely to detect signs of something wrong early and to collect data for subsequent research work.
"It doesn't look like emotion." Sun Hang shook his head.
If this engineer turned into a monster because of negative emotions, Sun Hang should have seen the shadow rising behind him long ago - everyone has negative emotions, but negative emotions want to be strong enough to make people weird. To that extent, the shadow of this person's figure would become extremely huge and blazing, and it would be impossible for Sun Hang not to notice it.
"Then he is an infected person in the incubation period?" Song Yarong frowned, "There should be no 'dirty things' in the test site... We have inspected this place countless times, and drones carry out carpet inspections every day. Scan..."
"My suggestion is to check the people this guy has been in contact with recently." Sun Hang said.
While devouring the devious engineer meme, Sun Hang also devoured the remaining memories in the opponent's meme.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
There isn't much memory left in the meme, and looking back it only lasts forty-eight hours.
This engineer has been busy all day today - he is responsible for the fuel of the PFDA thruster and belongs to the fourth team. Apart from dealing with people in the PFDA project team, he has not had any contact with outsiders. The only time I left the research institute was when I came here with Sun Hang, Song Yarong and others to test the PFDA "No. 1 Trial Machine".
The food he ate was also very clean, and it was all meals and drinking water provided by the institute... If the source of infection came from food, then everyone present would be at risk of being infected.
The engineer's memory went back to the previous day, when he took half a day off.
The reason for the leave is also very simple - the propeller fuel ratio has been finalized, the simulation test and the actual machine test have been completed, and the remaining projects of the PFDA are only those unresolved problems on the mecha body, the thruster part The work has come to an end. For this reason, the engineer proposed to take half a day off to spend time with his family, whom he had not seen for more than a month due to intense overtime work.
This engineer has a nine-year-old daughter and is a single-parent family. The engineer's wife died of illness when the child was very young. In addition, yesterday was the little girl's birthday, so Song Yarong agreed to this "reasonable but not very reasonable" offer. "Application for leave.
The memory continued to go back. As the time interval gradually lengthened, the memory fragments began to become intermittent, mottled and blurred. Sun Hang could only vaguely see that the engineer asked the canteen of the institute to make a cake for him through his connections, and then He went to the warehouse to get some candles... The next scene was already in his own home.
The father and daughter used a spoon to spread the whipped cream on the cake... insert candles, light candles, make birthday wishes, and then blow out the candles...
The moment the candle was blown out, the entire memory picture suddenly fell into darkness.
Sun Hang couldn't help but shudder.
"What's wrong with you?" Song Yarong noticed Sun Hang's cold war and asked immediately, "You shouldn't... feel the cold, right?"
"It's not Leng... that guy's head just now? Where is the head that I kicked off?" Sun Hang asked.
"People from the field department are handling it." Song Yarong said.
"Bring that head here! Hurry! Hurry!" Sun Hang said.
He suddenly realized a problem... In the memory fragments just now, the engineer's daughter, that nine-year-old girl... had no face the whole time!
A container that looked like a large protein powder jar was brought over. When he opened the container, a bloody head appeared in front of Sun Hang's eyes - Sun Hang's kick was the neck of the monster, the head of the monster. It didn't suffer much damage, and the basic structure was still intact.
"It's a good thing I didn't kick the head off, otherwise I would have been in trouble." Sun Hang said in his heart.
The body of the strange thing had been sucked dry by Sun Hang and turned into pus and blood, but the head was still "alive" - when Sun Hang opened the container, it still tried to use the tooth-like cactus-like head. The same tentacles went to attack Sun Hang, but they were grabbed by an "iron hand" made of liquid metal and torn out of his mouth.
"What are you going to do?" Song Yarong couldn't help but ask, and Fukada Miki on the side also looked interested.
Sun Hang did not speak, but drove the hyphae to drill into the eye sockets of his head and reach the brain.
Brains and memes are both carriers of infected people's memories, but there are some differences in the memories they carry.
"Are you going to devour it? But I think... if you keep this head, it may be helpful to the subsequent investigation work, right? The research institute can also rely on it to determine whether the initiator of this incident is Chimei." Pull No. 17..." Song Yarong said, but she didn't have the slightest intention to stop Sun Hang's actions.
"What I am doing now is investigation work." Sun Hang did not explain much, but continued to "browse" the remaining memories in the engineer's brain.
The memory in the brain is very different from the memory picture in the meme, except that some fuzzy details are a little clearer... Sun Hang glanced at today's content and quickly fast-forwarded the memory to the previous day, Time for a little girl’s birthday.
He finally saw the little girl's face.
She was smiling, but that weird smile... shouldn't appear on a nine-year-old girl's face at all.
