Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 180 Reset
"Zombies? Resurrection? Or what?" The fisherman asked repeatedly, "Could it be that these natives have long been infected by Tumi... The entire tribe is infected?"

"There is no record in the documents. The survivors of the battle only remember that they kept shooting at the 'resurrected' natives. After being shot, these natives would get up again not long after, just like a group of monsters that could not be killed."

"From a certain perspective, Tumi can indeed cure all diseases." Sun Hang nodded and said, "You can even bring the dead back to life."

"The landing troops soon ran out of ammunition, and the captain who led the team immediately decided to retreat." Yano continued, "He planned to apply to his superiors for bombing, using napalm bombs to burn the monsters on the island and everything except the land."

"Don't tell me that those natives who were burned to charcoal can be resurrected." The fisherman couldn't help but say, "That can't even be described as a medical miracle..."

"No... the situation at that time was far more bizarre than you can imagine." Yano shook his head. "After the captain submitted the report, he was soon questioned by his superiors, because in his superiors' opinion, even if those people became infected, turned into strange skeletons, or even turned into strange creatures, there was no reason for them to be resurrected after being killed again and again.

"The superiors who didn't believe in evil immediately decided to conduct another reconnaissance of the 'Pratangbak' island. This time, they dispatched two light gunboats. If the captain's description was true, the heavy firepower would carry out several rounds of bombing on the entire island, completely blowing those 'unkillable natives' into pieces."

"What was the result of the reconnaissance?"

"The senior officer ordered the gunboat to a place only a few miles away from Platanbak. Through his telescope, the natives were singing and dancing around the bonfire and totems on the beach. There were no signs of fighting anywhere on the island. Even the big thatched house belonging to the chief that was blown up by the grenade mentioned by the captain was intact."

"Ah?" The fisherman was stunned. "What's going on?"

"The captain was questioned immediately, but he still firmly claimed that he had fought with the natives on the island - even though he was also shocked by the scenes he saw in the telescope. Not only him, but also his soldiers insisted so... Their empty magazines, bloodstains and burn marks on their uniforms, and wounds caused by arrows and spears on a few soldiers were all evidence that they had fought with the natives. They had no reason to lie, and there was no need to lie."

"Could it be that the hallucinogenic effect of Tumi made them mistakenly believe that they had fought with the natives?" Sun Hang guessed, "In fact, those bloodstains and injuries were caused by themselves?"

"The accompanying weirdo researcher also thought so at first, until the superior officer gave the order to bombard the coast."

The fisherman was slightly startled: "Good fellow, just blast it directly?"

Yano nodded and continued, "The natives holding the festival on the beach suffered heavy casualties... Then they called in bombers, and hundreds of tons of napalm were dropped into the jungle, burning the entire Pratangbak Island to charcoal."

"I guess... that Tumi should be fine, right?" The fisherman glanced at the flower bud in the tunnel, "Otherwise, the Xiazhou Federation wouldn't be able to get its meme."

"After the bombing, the two gunboats circled the island and left after confirming that there were no survivors or suspicious creatures on the small island... until four years later."

"Four years later?" "Four years later, the captain who had been promoted to major happened to pass by the nearby waters while on a mission. He suddenly decided to take a short detour and pass by the vicinity of Platanbak Island to see what the island that was burned into charcoal looked like."

"However, what surprised the major was that the island was covered with lush forests, as if the bombing had never happened! The natives wearing clothes made of plant fibers and animal skins were dancing around the bonfire and totems on the beach. The chief with white stripes on his face was sitting on a tall chair, and in the bone plate beside him, the special incense was slowly burning..."

"This is... what the hell?" The fisherman's mouth twitched. "Didn't all those people die? And... have they resurrected? And have the dense forests on the island also resurrected?"

Putting aside the question of whether those natives were immigrants from other islands, the dense forest alone is unscientific enough.

A rainforest of that size would take decades or even hundreds of years to grow. After the entire island was "washed" with napalm bombs, it was impossible for a dense forest to grow on the island in just four years.

"In fact, the ability of the Tumi is not 'resurrection', but 'reset'." Yano sighed and continued, "The Tumi blooms once every four years. When it blooms, it will 'record' everything around it. When it blooms next time, it will reset everything in the area, including the natives, to the state it was in when it last bloomed."

"That is to say, in the field of Camellia, four years is a cycle... Those natives will never die, because they can only wait until the Camellia buds bloom, and then they can return to the joyous festival four years ago..." said Sun Hang.

"Hiss... It sounds terrifying. It's even more despairing than being in jail... Won't these people have to repeat this four-year cycle? That's too miserable... So, what will happen if we bring people out of the realm of Tumei during these four years?" asked the fisherman.

"The experiment you mentioned was already done by weirdo researchers in Indonesia...but Indonesia fell before it could last four years, and the experiment was taken over by the South China Sea Weirdoes Research Institute of the Xiazhou Federation."

"The results of it?"

"When the four years were up, the three natives who were taken off the island disappeared in front of the researchers," Yano said. "Unfortunately, at that time, Platanbak Island had already fallen into the occupied zone, so they couldn't go to the island to verify whether the three people who disappeared had been reset to the state four years ago."

"That is to say... once you are 'recorded' by Tumi, you will never be able to escape for the rest of your life?" the fisherman asked with a pale face.

Yano nodded.

"However, I am a little curious about what this thing in front of me recorded when it bloomed last time." Sun Hang squatted on the ground, holding his chin and looking at the bright flower buds in the tunnel.

Its petals have begun to separate, and it seems that it will bloom soon.
