Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 159 Area C

"Tsk..." The fisherman smacked his lips. "No wonder those Anglo-Saxons were able to travel so smoothly... I thought this place was so dangerous, but it turns out they were just bluffing?"

"No, don't take it lightly." Yano shook his head repeatedly, "Until there is a reasonable explanation for the abnormal behavior of the Yamata no Orochi, I will never treat this place as an ordinary ruins."

"You'll know if it's ordinary or not after you go in and take a look." The fisherman pointed to the entrance of the ruins and said, "Look at these footprints. They belong to two groups of people."

"Have they caught up with those Anglo-Saxons?" Huangfu Sha asked.

The fisherman squatted down, touched the dust on the ground with his fingers, and shook his head, saying, "Probably not. The footprints of the two groups were clearly in sequence. At least from where we are now, they should not have been able to meet up yet."

"Do you think the Anglo-Saxons will accept them?" Huangfu Sha asked again.

"It's hard to say. Judging from the selfish behavior of those Anglo-Saxons, they definitely don't want anyone to take away their cake." The fisherman said, "But it is not ruled out that they need someone to help them step on the mines... If that group of people are willing to be 'obedient', they can still be of some use..."

"But they are not fools, right? They will not let the Anglo-Saxons take advantage of them, right?" Huangfu Sha frowned and said, "I actually hope that there will be a small conflict between the two groups. The more time they waste, the less time we waste in the forest."

"You've learned the theory of relativity well." Sun Hang gave Huangfu Sha a thumbs up. "In that case, let's not waste time. Let's go in."

This time it was Sun Hang who took the lead. He no longer tried to hide the liquid metal in his sleeves. Instead, he formed it into two shields that were suspended around him.

"Wow, man, you can use this ability like this?" The fisherman, who was holding a short knife in one hand and a spear in the other, said enviously, "It's just like the immortal cultivators in novels who can control weapons - Tsk, comparison is the thief of joy. Compared with you, I feel like a primitive man, who is just short of wearing a piece of animal skin around his waist."

"Not as strong as you think. There is a distance limit. These metal creations cannot be too far away from me, otherwise I will lose control." Sun Hang said casually, "If I can really take someone's head from a thousand miles away with a flying sword like in the novels, then I will be invincible."

After saying that, he glanced at Huangfu Sha who had just assembled a sniper rifle, curled his lips and said, "My evaluation is that it is not as good as a bullet."

The four followed the route taken by the previous two groups of hunters and entered the ruins of the research institute. According to the map provided by Tianshu Tower, this area was Zone C of the second phase of the institute's expansion project. It was originally planned to be used as a residential area for the researchers' families. At the time of the accident, only one-third of Zone C had been built, and the occupancy rate was less than 20%. Everywhere you look, you can see mountains of construction materials and rusty tower crane wreckage.

"They are all rough-finished houses." The fisherman said as he walked. "It seems that they are all four-story buildings built with prefabricated panels... Were the treatment of scientific researchers so bad in those days?"

"In those days, it was already very good to be able to live in a house like this." Yano said, "It was not like today. Not to mention the precious scientific researchers, even hunters could get a villa and have good food and drink... In those days, if you could have meat for every meal, you could be considered well-off."

Sun Hang noticed that the lime-painted walls of these rough-hewn houses facing the street were all blackened by smoke, and some of the wooden door and window frames also had obvious signs of carbonization.

"It seems like there was a big fire here." said Sun Hang.

"It should be." Yano nodded. "It's probably a secondary disaster caused by the accident that year... Even the house was burned like this, there probably won't be any paper documents or the like left. I think we can quickly skip this block."

"Those people obviously thought so too." The fisherman looked at the footprints on the ground and said, "Most people did not stay here. Only a few people went into these houses to take a look..."

Before the fisherman finished speaking, Sun Hang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. "What's going on?" the fisherman asked with a vigilant look on his face.

"There is still someone here. I can sense his breath. He is an infected person." Sun Hang said, "He is on the right, counting from the house we are standing in, the third room, on the first floor."

"Is it a hunter?" the fisherman asked again.

"Not sure... let's go and take a look." Sun Hang shook his head.

The four of them walked forward cautiously. The door panel of the room with the breath of the infected had already been burned. Looking inside through the open door, they could vaguely see a figure kneeling on the ground.

"Something's wrong," the fisherman whispered. "I don't feel right."

Sun Hang didn't say anything. He turned on the flashlight and shone it towards the figure.

It was a hunter wearing the same combat uniform as them. Although she had short hair, judging from the curve of her body from behind, she should be a woman.

At this moment, she was kneeling on the floor of the living room with her back to Sun Hang and others, as if she was looking for something.

"What is she doing?" the fisherman asked in confusion. "She looks like she's looking for something, but the room is so dark and she doesn't even have a flashlight. How can she see clearly?"

"You're focusing on the wrong point," Sun Hang whispered, "The most puzzling thing is... I was shining the flashlight directly at her, but she didn't even turn her head."

"Hiss... now that you mention it, it's true." The fisherman's neck suddenly got goose bumps. "Could this person have already..."

"Can you sense her emotions?" Sun Hang looked at Yano.

Yano shook his head: "I can't feel anything. It's as calm as a pool of stagnant water."

"I'll go over and take a look. Sun Hang, hold this for me. If there is anything unusual happening on the other side, just shoot without hesitation." Huangfu Sha, who was also a woman, handed the sniper rifle in her hand to Sun Hang, then pulled out a pistol, slowly walked into the room, and walked towards the female hunter.

"Hello, hello." Huangfusha called out in the calmest tone possible, "Excuse me, what are you looking for?"

The other party did not respond, and there was no pause in his movements, as if he did not hear Huangfu Sha's voice at all.

Huangfu Sha moved a little closer, but when she was five steps away from the female hunter, the other party suddenly stood up and ran into Huangfu Sha's arms!
Sun Hang and others then noticed that the female hunter was holding a bloodstained sickle in her hand, and the thing she was "searching" for was actually a bloody human torso!

[PS I feel better today. I received a lot of replies yesterday saying that many people were also sick. I guess it’s the recent epidemic of some virus. Everyone should take care to protect themselves.]
