Chapter 364 Scavengers
Ye Jiu: "???"
Although Sun Hang and Yang Lian cleared out a lot of deceivers, compared with the number of residents in this neighborhood, the part they cleared was just a drop in the bucket - Ye Jiu was right, the scene below now, It's exactly like a zombie movie.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
"No... I mean..." Ye Jiu held it in for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I admit, I am timid... You also know the characteristics of killing. It's okay to kill those monsters. But the weird thing that looks like a human... I'm really afraid that I won't be able to control myself if I kill it."
"What use are you for?" Sun Hang glanced at Ye Jiu with some contempt, and then said seriously, "How many people have been deceived?"
"The specific data has not been calculated yet, but the total permanent population of the affected neighborhoods is about 40,000... The people in the water department are probably finished. I heard that some people have called the parliament. But for such a big matter, let’s not talk about whether those congressmen can protect the person. Even if they can, they don’t dare to come out to protect him!”
Sun Hang lowered his head and looked at the Configurants wandering aimlessly downstairs, and let out a long breath.
The reason why Yang Lian and the others were not infected was that Zhong Ling used bottled drinking water specially provided by the logistics department for cooking and drinking water.
As for taking a bath, they used tap water... I guess they didn't have any weird habits like drinking their own bath water.
"Speaking of which, why are you all fine when all the surrounding residents are infected?" Ye Jiu suddenly asked, "You are an infected person and may not be infected again, but Yang Lian is an ordinary person, why? Nothing happened to her?”
"Thanks to Zhong Ling," Sun Hang said, "That girl said that the tap water in Tianfu City is too hard, and using it for cooking will affect the taste of the food, so she always insists on using pure water transported by the logistics department for cooking. And those of us who are used to eating her food hardly know how to cook it ourselves..."
"Holy shit, is this okay?" After hearing Sun Hang's words, Ye Jiu couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Strict requirements for delicious food can actually save someone's life... This is such luck, isn't it? ?”
"By the way, aren't you leaving yet?" Sun Hang glanced at the propeller of the helicopter, "Isn't the research institute eager to interrogate this superhuman?"
"Let's go, let's go now!" Ye Jiu said, "Don't you come up?"
"I have nothing to do when I go back to the research institute, so why not sit here for a while." Sun Hang shrugged, "By the way, let's see how the Disaster Countermeasures Committee plans to eliminate these tens of thousands of deceivers."
"...Your hobby is a bit heavy-handed." Ye Jiu said speechlessly, "I suggest you come with us...The field department will send people into these affected areas after a while to confirm whether there are survivors...Generally, He said that with this step, the next step may be indiscriminate strikes, such as missile bombings.”
"It's not a big problem. The missiles can't kill me." Sun Hang waved his hand.
"That's right. Anyway, you are thick-skinned and thick-skinned." Ye Jiu said, "Okay, let's withdraw first... If anything happens later, remember to fire the signal bomb."
Ye Jiu threw a signal gun to Sun Hang, and the helicopter immediately left the building, quickly lifted to a high altitude, and flew towards the research institute.
Sun Hang casually stuffed the flare gun into the big pocket of his coat and watched the helicopter gradually go away.
He stayed not really to witness the "massacre" scene, but because there should be a strange creature that had not been discovered in this area.
The sludge attack came from the supernatural being who had just been subdued, and the residents' collective confusion was because the water source was polluted... But don't forget that there is also abnormal signal interference in this neighborhood.
Signal interference has no direct connection with the first two, so it can only come from the ability of a third party.
Standing in front of the broken floor-to-ceiling window, Sun Hang slowly closed his eyes, and some concrete concepts slowly emerged in his mind.
When he opened his eyes again, a faint black light flashed across the surface of his pupils, and in his field of vision, a huge, hemispherical transparent cover appeared in mid-air, like an upside-down Like a large bowl, it enveloped the entire neighborhood.
Sun Hang blinked again, the transparent cover immediately disappeared, and his field of vision returned to normal.
A slight dizziness suddenly came from the back of his head.
"It consumes so much?" Sun Hang was a little surprised and checked the "blue consumption" - he just used the ability of "Wishes Come True" to check the scope of the infected area, but he didn't expect that he used up nearly 100% of the blue consumption directly. A quarter of a blue bar!
His ability to control objects with his wish-fulfilling ability did not consume so many blue bars... Could it be because the area of the interference area is too large? Or is it that the monster that created the interference area is too strong?
The concrete interference area only appeared in Sun Hang's field of vision for less than a tenth of a second, but Sun Hang had already locked the center of the entire interference area.
It was a large shopping mall located at a crossroads, less than three kilometers away from Sun Hang's current location. When Sun Hang first became a hunter, he bought several sets of clothes for daily use in this shopping mall.
He clearly remembered that day when he asked Wang Xiyi if he wanted to go shopping for clothes together, but the latter's answer was, "Anyway, clothes are disposable consumables for me. There is no difference at all between buying branded goods and street stall goods... And, according to me Judging from my personal experience, the quality of street stall products is not necessarily worse than those of famous brands.”
Sun Hang thought, and with an explosion that broke the sound barrier, a few seconds later, he was already standing at the entrance of the shopping mall.
This shopping mall covers an area of nearly 100,000 square meters. The main building has four floors. The first floor mainly sells cars, shoes, hats, clothing, and electronic products. Since commercial activities in Tianfu City have almost completely stopped, all of these shops are now closed. , there was a thin layer of dust on the exhibition vehicles worth tens of millions, and a big hole was smashed into the window glass of the luxury store nearby, and the mannequins inside fell to the ground in a mess. , yellow and black warning strips have been put up around the broken glass, and seals with the seal of the Public Security Bureau have been posted on the store doors - this kind of thing is not uncommon in Tianfu City, due to the arrival of eternal night , the social order in Tianfu City has been much more chaotic than before, and the incidence of various thefts and robberies has been much higher. Even though the Tianfu City Management Committee has increased the penalties for crimes committed during special periods, it still does not help.
For ordinary people, the current situation is no different from the coming of the doomsday, and when the doomsday comes, the first thing to collapse is the social order.
Especially for those at the bottom, those things that you can't afford or touch on ordinary days, now have an opportunity to buy them for zero yuan, will you be excited?
The vast majority of people may be able to keep their moral bottom line...but once the number of people becomes large, there will always be some anthropomorphic creatures among them.
This is called the forest being big, and there are all kinds of birds there. And human beings have another characteristic, which is to follow the herd - when the first violator appears, the second, third, and one hundred and first will soon appear.
This is under the premise that the federal government has announced that it will "never abandon Shuzhou"... Once Shuzhou is really abandoned, during the period before its complete fall, the thing that people who cannot evacuate here should be wary of most is not the mysterious thing. Things, but human beings who belong to the same species as themselves.
Sun Hang cut off the chain of the mall door, pushed open the closed electric door, and walked in.
Trash was scattered everywhere inside the mall, including various abandoned promotional materials, advertising signs, and various shopping bags... There was even a patent leather high-heeled shoe lying near Sun Hang's feet.
After the fall of eternal night, this shopping mall briefly resumed business for a period of time. However, with the emergence of Chimera No. 17, Tianfu City once again entered a state of martial law, and the shopping mall that hurriedly resumed business was hastily shut down... From here on From the messy scene, you can imagine the chaotic situation when martial law was re-announced.
Sun Hang walked along the dead escalator to the second floor. The second floor is mainly filled with various restaurants, drink shops and the second-dimensional favorite millet shop... But the situation here is not much better than that on the first floor. The trash cans were filled with life-size foam signboards, and stains from spilled drinks and food that had not been cleaned up in time and had solidified could be seen everywhere on the floor.
The small stools used to wait for tables at the entrance of the restaurant were messily blocked in the middle of the passage. Hundreds of cardboard boxes containing food raw materials were piled at the entrance of the public toilet, exuding a smell of spoilage.
Sun Hang wandered into a cafe and was surprised to find that the coffee machine on the counter was still lit.
"Where's the electricity coming from?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment, but before Sun Hang could get closer, a figure suddenly stood up behind the counter and pointed what looked like a homemade crossbow at Sun Hang. .
"Stop!" the man shouted in a low voice, "Put your hands where I can see them, step back, and retreat to the corridor outside."
Except for the few indicator lights on the coffee machine, the cafe was completely dark. You could only vaguely see the cold light flashing on the tip of the opponent's arrow... But this was for ordinary people. With Sun Hang's vision, He could clearly see that the person holding the crossbow was a beggar-looking young man - he was wearing a brand-name coat that didn't fit well. The backpack behind him and the pockets of his clothes were all stuffed, and a small part of the cuffs was exposed. There are several watches on his amputated arm.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Thief?" Sun Hang asked.
"I'm not a thief!" the other party immediately retorted, "I'm just a scavenger. Anyway, no one wants these things if they are thrown here. Who can take them? If you want to steal them from me, believe it or not, I will shoot you to death!" ”
"You dare to kill someone?"
"Why don't you dare! The surveillance here is out of power. Even if I kill you, no one will know that it was me who killed you!" The other party said viciously, "Besides, how many people have died in Tianfu City after the eternal night falls? ”
"Who do you think I am?" Sun Hang smiled and asked.
"I don't care who you are! Get out of here while I don't want to kill you now! Don't let me see you again!" The young man who called himself a "scavenger" said aggressively.
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
"Of course I have killed him!" the other party hesitated, then shouted with a pinched neck, "Just last week, there was a bastard who tried to steal my things, but I shot him to death with an arrow!"
"Oh, do you personally admit that you committed murder?" Sun Hang laughed, "Then if I tell you that I am a police officer, can I arrest people directly now? Considering that you have surrendered. , maybe he can be given a lighter sentence.”
The young man's expression was obviously a little panicked, but he didn't realize that Sun Hang could see the change in his expression in such a dark environment, and he shouted inwardly: "You fart! You can't be the Sheriff! The Sheriff won't be here. Come here! This place has been abandoned a long time ago! You are also a scavenger... No, you are here to steal things!"
Sun Hang almost laughed angrily at this guy's "double standards". He waved his hand and said, "You guessed it right, I am indeed not a peace officer, but I have some connections with the Public Security Bureau... How should I put it? , it can be regarded as a working partnership.”
"Stop dreaming. It's okay to fool a child with your nonsense, but you can't scare me at all!" The scavenger was obviously relieved when he saw Sun Hang admitting that he was not a peace officer. "I'll give you ten seconds at the end." , if you don’t leave, I’m really going to cum!”
"I'm not a peace officer, but a hunter." Sun Hang said calmly, "The monster hunter."
The scavenger was stunned, but after being stunned for a few seconds, he immediately cursed loudly: "Fuck you!"
"I am really a hunter. Whether you believe it or not, there is one thing I have to tell you. There is probably a strange thing hiding inside this shopping mall."
The expression on the scavenger's face changed rapidly. He was silent for several seconds before asking: "What you said...is true?"
"I don't need to lie to you." Sun Hang said, "It's precisely because there are strange things here that the hunters come, isn't it?"
"But, you are different from the hunter I know..." The scavenger shook his head, "I still think you are fucking lying to me!"
"Why are they different? What does the monster hunter you think of look like?" Sun Hang asked curiously.
"I don't know anything else, but if a hunter is going to hunt monsters, shouldn't the Sheriff come to investigate first, then the people from the Anomaly Investigation Bureau, and finally the hunter? You came here alone, Why should I believe what you say?”
"What about now, do you still believe it?" Sun Hang raised his hand, and a metal flying blade was suspended in his palm.
As if he was afraid that the other party wouldn't see it, Sun Hang thoughtfully turned on the flashlight on his phone. Under the light, the metal flying blade shone with cold light, like a living thing.
