Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 141 Geng
Artificial hunter?
When Sun Hang heard this word, the first face that came to his mind was Wang Xiyi's.

Lao Wang is an "artificial hunter". Could this blockaded, nameless island be her "hometown"?

"What types of artificial hunters are being studied on this island?" Sun Hang asked.

"I don't know about that." The chatterbox hunter shook his head. "Those guys in the Tianshu Tower are very tight-lipped. We have only managed to get this little information after trying here and there."

"Why tell me?" Sun Hang glanced at him, "I never believe in pie in the sky."

"As future teammates, it's normal to share information... Besides, didn't you also tell me about Shuzhou?" The chatterbox hunter looked over Sun Hang's shoulder and looked at the table of people in the other corner of the restaurant, with a hint of contempt in his tone, "Don't confuse me with those selfish Anglo-Saxons."

Sun Hang turned his head and looked in the direction of the talkative hunter's gaze, only to see six people sitting around the table, all of them white people, including the guy who had just broken into Sun Hang's room not long ago.

They seemed to feel Sun Hang's gaze and turned to look over here.

After his eyes met that guy's, Sun Hang gave him an extremely bright smile.

The guy's expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned his head away, no longer looking at Sun Hang.

"I think those people didn't hear me talking about them?" the talkative hunter said in a low voice.

"It's hard to say. Maybe one of them has the ability to eavesdrop." Sun Hang shrugged and said indifferently, "What are you afraid of? Anyway, you are telling the truth."

"I'm afraid these narrow-minded guys will trip us up during the trial..." Sun Hang interrupted the talkative hunter before he could finish his words.

"If they are a hindrance, just kill them."

In the urban area of ​​Chunming City, Sun Hang still had to consider the rules set by the Xiazhou Federation and Tianshu Tower, but on a deserted island full of unknown dangers, it would be too easy for a few people to "die accidentally".

Sun Hang’s creed in dealing with people is very simple - if no one offends me, I will not offend anyone; if someone offends me, I will kill his entire family.

If this group of Anglo-Saxons really dare to cause trouble, Sun Hang doesn't mind using them as his food.

"...Dude, are you kidding me?" The talkative hunter shuddered and asked cautiously.

"Yeah, I was just kidding." Sun Hang smiled, "It's wrong to kill people casually."

Just then, Sun Hang's cell phone rang again.

As his direct supervisor, Yang Qi set a special ringtone for her own number when she handed the phone to Sun Hang. Therefore, Sun Hang didn't even need to take out his phone to know that the call was from her.

"Hello?" Sun Hang answered the phone.

"Sun Hang, are you already in the hotel where the hunters are gathering?" Yang Qi asked straight to the point without any further ado.

"Yes, it's been a night and I'm having breakfast now." Sun Hang replied, "To be honest, their soup dumplings are really good. Do you want me to pack some for you to take back?"

"Let's get down to business!" Yang Qi asked seriously, "Is there anyone around you now?" "It's dinner time now, so of course I'm not the only one in the restaurant."

"I'm going to find a secluded place. I have something very important to tell you."

"Row."

Sun Hang greeted the talkative hunter, then went to the hotel's toilet cubicle alone and used his ability to "make wishes come true" to build a simple soundproof barrier.

"Okay, you can talk now."

"The location of the second stage of the trial is on a deserted island 300 kilometers east of Chunming City."

"..." Sun Hang wanted to complain. This was the third person who told him about this in less than 24 hours... It was like a piece of news being forwarded back and forth many times in a chat group, and each person who forwarded it thought he was sending the first-hand news, not knowing that he was the guy who had just returned to Earth from Mars.

But he finally resisted the urge and listened silently.

"There used to be a research institute on that deserted island that was studying the 'artificial hunter' project, but later a very serious accident occurred and the project was urgently stopped. The research institute was closed and the entire island was secretly blocked off." Yang Qi continued.

"Artificial Hunter... is that Lao Wang's hometown?"

"No, this institute was established much earlier... According to the information I have obtained, it can be traced back to the year 4599 in the lunar calendar. It was built by the cooperation of the Xiazhou Federation and the Siberian Federation. At that time, the Siberian Federation was not the current Siberian State, but one of the world's three giants alongside the Xiazhou Federation and the United States."

"Oh?" Sun Hang was slightly stunned. It seemed that Yang Qi had obtained more information than that talkative hunter.

Of course, there was no guarantee that it was the chatty hunter who was keeping something from him.

"The name of this collaborative project is 'Codename: Chasing the Sun'. Its main research content is to explore the feasibility of artificial fusion between the human body and the weird meme... This is the first time that modern human civilization has attempted this. In fact, it was eleven years earlier than the 'Super Soldier' ​​project in the United States."

"So, what was the accident that caused the project to be stopped?" Sun Hang asked, "The test subject lost control?"

"No, it's worse than that..." Yang Qi sighed, "The entire research institute was transformed by an unknown force and became a Geng-type monster. In the next hundred years, the signs of weirdness have spread to the entire island... In the archives of Tianshu Tower, it was named 'Geng 19·Nameless Island'."

"Were there any survivors who escaped from the island that year?" Sun Hang continued to ask.

"Eleven people escaped from the nameless island on a speedboat, but when the search and rescue team found them, they had all gone crazy. Two of them were infected by the meme and quickly turned into skeletons. The remaining nine all died within a year - two committed suicide, five died in accidents, and the last two died in a nursing home just one day apart. The forensic doctor diagnosed them as sudden cardiac death."

"Accidents? What accidents?"

"Two people were in car accidents, two people fell from heights, and one person drowned in the bathtub." Yang Qi said, "I think the person who drowned is more likely to have committed suicide, but the file records that he died accidentally."

[PS I want to ask what you think of the recent pace of the plot? Is it too slow, normal, or fast? If you have suggestions or opinions, you can put them forward in the chapter description in this section. I will read them when I have time.]
