Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 178 Airtight Door

"Hey, that does make sense." The fisherman nodded vigorously. "Otherwise, we wouldn't have come this far without seeing a single person or corpse."

After dealing with Xin Jiushiwu, the three followed the red light and passed through two blocks, and a rock wall appeared in their sight.

The second underground floor of the Wuming Island Research Institute is not like the first floor, which is an underground network composed of tunnels and caves, but a huge underground space that has been hollowed out. A 30-meter-thick rock wall divides this huge underground space into two areas: the "living area" and the "working area".

Through the passage carved out of the rock wall, you can reach the laboratory area.

At the end of the road, there is a metal airtight door with a diameter of three meters embedded in the rock wall. The airtight door is thick and solid in shape, with rough casting patterns on the surface. Cross-shaped reinforcement ribs run horizontally and vertically through the front of the airtight door... However, what made the fisherman helpless was that he walked around the airtight door but couldn't find the valve to open the door.

"How do I open this door?" The fisherman scratched his head. "Or can it only be opened from the other side?"

"The opening and closing of the airtight door is controlled by a mechanical structure buried inside the rock wall, which extends all the way to the control center of the research institute." Yano said, "As for the security center, it is indeed on the other side of the rock wall."

"Then we can only break the door by force?" said the fisherman.

"...This airtight door, if I remember correctly, is two meters thick." Yano sighed, "And the material used is an extremely hard tungsten alloy, not the common steel alloy... Haven't you noticed that it hasn't rusted at all after so many years?"

"Sun Hang, isn't your ability to manipulate metal?" The fisherman suddenly slapped his head, "You should be able to open the door, right?"

"Let me try." Sun Hang walked forward and placed his palm on the heavy airtight door.

After a few seconds, he stepped back with a serious look on his face.

"What's wrong? It doesn't work?" the fisherman asked somewhat disappointedly.

"No." Sun Hang shook his head. "There's a big guy behind the door. I'm not sure if it will jump out after I open the door, so I want you to be prepared first."

"Oh my god? A big one? How big is it?" The fisherman shuddered and subconsciously drew the dagger from his waist.

"Not sure. Anyway, in terms of aura strength, he is much stronger than Xin Jiushiwu just now." Sun Hang said.

Sun Hang was a little confused. They came to this door under the guidance of the red light. If the being controlling the red light wanted to see them, he shouldn't let them pass through here.

According to the design drawings of the Nameless Island Research Institute, there are five passages like this on the rock wall... Could it be that in the other four passages, there are more powerful monsters than the ones here?

"I wonder where those Anglo-Saxons have gone." The fisherman suddenly said.

In the gloomy hunter's subjective cognition, his companions were no match for Xin Jiushiwu. Logically, they should have all died under Xin Jiushiwu's tentacles. However, Sun Hang and his companions only found the bodies of one Anglo-American hunter and two Indian hunters near the elevator. This means that some hunters still escaped from Xin Jiushiwu's activity area alive.

However, the route guided by the red light was inconsistent with the traces left by the hunters when they fled. The fisherman also asked Sun Hang whether to follow the red light or continue to follow the Anglo-Saxon hunters. After repeated consideration, Sun Hang chose the former.

Regardless of whether those Ansa hunters were panicking or not, Sun Hang not only did not feel any malice towards the messages on the two pieces of paper, but instead felt a strange sense of intimacy...

That ambiguous tone was more like a conversation between lovers... No, to be more precise, it was more like a conversation between family members...

Sun Hang shuddered suddenly, and he suddenly remembered what that strange and familiar feeling he had felt before was!

It's a feeling of blood ties!

The thing that contaminated Xin Jiuwu and the meme that turned Sun Hang into an infected person... they had the same source. Sun Hang's breathing became a little faster.

My infection was definitely not an accident!
The first thing that infected me was definitely not the Taotie meme!
Wuming Island and Tianfu City are thousands of kilometers apart. Did that thing cross the thousands of kilometers to find me... or did I get infected on Wuming Island and then cross thousands of kilometers to Tianfu City?

Sun Hang fell into deep thought.

What kind of person was he in the past? Was he a hapless person who had stepped on shit? Or was he an experimental subject who escaped from a research institute?
However, if I were an experimental subject, the Tianshu Tower should have my file.

Even if his ability can change his appearance, if the frequency of the meme is fixed, Tianshu Tower will inevitably discover his true identity.

A bold idea suddenly popped into Sun Hang's mind.

"Am I really human?"

But in the next moment, this thought mysteriously disappeared from his mind, as if it had been erased by an invisible eraser.

"Sun Hang, you decide." The fisherman's voice came from the side, "Open this door, or choose another passage."

"Ah?" Sun Hang was startled, as if waking up from a dream, and looked at the airtight door that was so close to him in a daze.

"What's wrong with you? You seemed to be distracted just now?" Yano asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay." Sun Hang waved his hand, "I just thought of something..."

"Something? What?"

"I want to know too... They just flashed through my mind, but now I have no impression of them at all." Sun Hang frowned and said, "It was just a few seconds ago, but I can't remember it at all."

"Is it related to the weird thing behind the door?" the fisherman asked curiously.

"should not."

"Then don't think about it for now. The current situation is the most important." said the fisherman.

"Yes." Sun Hang nodded and took a deep breath. "Then I'm going to open the door. You all get ready."

"OK!" The fisherman took two steps back, holding the dagger horizontally in one hand and placing the large-caliber hunting pistol on the wrist holding the knife with the other hand.

Yano picked up the submachine gun left by Huangfu Sha and switched the shooting mode to full automatic.

Sun Hang walked to the side of the airtight door and placed his palm on the side of the protruding rock wall.

Along with a teeth-grinding sound of gears meshing, the rock wall shook slightly and a cloud of fine dust fell.

The heavy airtight door began to swing.
