Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 258 The Infected in the Bedroom

"Oh, really?" Sun Hang glanced at him and said indifferently.

"You are such a fool..." The passerby lowered his voice, "Old Chen has someone in the Public Security Bureau... Do you understand what I mean?"

"Oh...it seems like it's time to reorganize the Public Security Bureau in Yabei District."

Under the astonished eyes of the passerby, Sun Hang strode forward, easily pulled away the people who were holding the strong man, and then grabbed the big man who wanted to pounce on Lao Chentou, and said loudly: "What's going on? Can you tell me?"

"You... who are you?" Old Chen narrowed his eyes. He could see that the young boy was quite strong and guessed that he was a martial artist - but no matter how good he was at fighting, he was only one person, while there were more than a dozen people on his side... As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention more than a dozen batons and the stun gun hidden in the trunk of the electric bike.

"Me?" Sun Hang looked Old Chen up and down. He could see that the malice on his body had condensed into a shadow as tall as two people, which gradually enveloped him. "I am just an ordinary hunter passing by."

"I don't care what you are... What, what? A hunter?" Old Chen said halfway before he realized, "You... what kind of hunter are you talking about?"

"I just seemed to hear you mention 'weird things'...right?" Sun Hang showed a half-smile.

"He...he he he he...he is talking nonsense!" Old Chen suddenly panicked and pointed at the burly man.

"Really?" Sun Hang turned his head and looked at the burly man.

"I, I'm not sure either..." After hearing Sun Hang call himself a hunter, the strong man's momentum suddenly weakened, "I just feel that... there has been something wrong with my wife since she came home..."

However, in the few seconds when Sun Hang took his eyes off Old Chen, the panic on Old Chen's face disappeared for a moment. He made a hidden gesture to a middle-aged man who was setting up a stall nearby, and the man immediately stood up and ran away.

"What's wrong? Tell me." Sun Hang let go of the burly man and asked.

"It's just...it's just...I can't really explain it..." The sturdy man said with difficulty, "I just feel like she's become a different person..."

"Your wife cheated on you, and everyone knows that you feel uncomfortable about being cuckolded, but you insisted on making up some weird excuse. Now that the matter has gotten out of hand, you can't explain it. You are just shooting yourself in the foot!" The man who had pulled the strong man earlier shouted, "You just want to blackmail Old Chen for some money. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that!"

In the blind spot of Sun Hang's vision, the middle-aged man who had just left turned back. He seemed to be holding something under his coat, looking sneaky - but what he didn't expect was that in the gutter nearby, an eyeball with hyphae at the end was staring at him.

"I don't know whether it's blackmail or not, but can you ask this guy to take out the good stuff hidden under his clothes?" Sun Hang suddenly turned his head and stared at the middle-aged man who was only a few meters away from him.

"How...how did you see that?" The middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed and he took two steps back. "What are you talking about? I...I don't understand!"

"Young man, are you really a ghost hunter?" Old Chen stood up and took a step forward. His face was no longer panicked. "I am an old man and have seen a lot of things in the world, but why do I feel like you are not telling the truth?"

"Do you need me to show you my ID?" Sun Hang asked sincerely.

"Identity? Humph, can you really take it out?" Old Chen smiled contemptuously, "I have lived for more than 60 years, and I have seen many bluffing guys like you. Do you think you can bluff me?"

"Here." Sun Hang took out a hunter's license from his pocket and threw it over.

"You're still being stubborn. Do you know what it means to pretend to be a hunter and forge documents..." Old Chen stopped talking halfway because he suddenly realized that the document thrown by this young man seemed to be real...

Although Old Chen had never seen a real monster hunter license, he recognized the confidential stamp of the Tianfu City Management Committee on it... This thing was difficult to counterfeit, and once you were caught, you would basically end up in jail for the rest of your life.

"You...you really are..." Old Chen was instantly scared, "God...God, I swear to God...I admit that his wife and I did have some affair...but I promise, there is really no weird thing in my house! His wife was fine when she left me!"

"You fart!" the sturdy man cursed immediately.

"Take me to your home." Sun Hang said to the strong man, then turned to look at Old Chen, "Come with me."

……

……

The burly guy's name is Xu Dasheng, and his occupation before the eternal night came was a security guard...Don't be fooled by his fierce-looking appearance, but as long as you chat with him for a few sentences, you will know that this guy is a completely honest man, and the kind of honest man with a single-minded mind.

It's a pity that his wife is not so honest...

According to Old Chen, Xu Dasheng's wife had affairs with many people in the market. She was over 30 years old, with decent looks and figures, and her price was reasonable. For those old bachelors who couldn't afford to marry, it was definitely a blessing from heaven... Especially during this special period, they didn't even need to save money. They just needed to go hungry for a few meals and save a little from the rationed supplies, and they could...

Old Chen stopped talking here because Xu Dasheng's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound, as if he was going to hit him in the face at any moment.

"Xu Dasheng, you can't blame everyone for this... Do you know what your wife says about you behind your back? She has long despised you for being incompetent. You don't make much money, and you're not even that good at sex... Otherwise, she wouldn't have..."

"Shut up." Sun Hang glanced at him coldly, "If Xu Dasheng wants to beat you up, I won't stop him now."

Old Chen immediately shut his mouth obediently.

Xu Dasheng's residence was not far from the market. The three of them walked for less than ten minutes and turned into a dark and narrow alley... On both sides of the alley were old-fashioned tube buildings that were quite old. Many of the floors had "demolition" signs painted on them, but for some reason, the paint on these signs was almost faded, but these buildings were still standing here.

Yabei District is not too far from the west of the city, and these tube buildings were not collapsed by the Longyan Fort... It is somewhat of a miracle.

"We're here." In front of a corridor door that was already darkened by smoke, Xu Dasheng said in a muffled voice, "It's on the second floor."

"If I remember correctly, you have owed the rent for this house for several months, right?" Old Chen said quietly.

"What's it got to do with you?" Xu Dasheng turned his head and glared at him.

"In fact, your wife has already paid the rent for you. I know the landlord, and he and your wife..."

"Do you believe I will beat you to death right now?!" Xu Dasheng growled.

"Hey, why are you so angry again... I'm just telling the truth..." Old Chen quickly flashed behind Sun Hang, "I... I am an important witness now, you, you have to protect me!" Sun Hang said nothing and walked straight up the stairs.

Xu Dasheng lives in 201. Compared to 202 opposite which is relatively clean, his door is covered with bills demanding payment of electricity and water bills. As Xu Dasheng opened the door roughly, those yellow and brittle bills rustled into a mess in an instant, and several of them fell to the ground.

"She's in the bedroom." Xu Dasheng said, "She hasn't spoken to me since she came back. She wouldn't come out when I called her to eat. Every time I would bring the food to her bedroom and take out the dishes after she finished eating." Xu Dasheng said, "But she's been eating less and less these past two days. Since last night, she hasn't eaten at all. I asked her why but she refused to talk..."

Although Xu Dasheng's tone was filled with anger, one could still hear a hint of worry underneath...

This big guy is really an honest man...

"It's true... a kind horse is often ridden, and a kind person is often bullied..." Sun Hang muttered to himself, turning his head to look around the simple hut and asked, "Are there only two people in your family? No children?"

"No." Xu Dasheng shook his head.

"How many years have you been married?"

"Nine years."

"..."Sun Hang suddenly felt that maybe Old Chen was not lying...Xu Dasheng might really have some problems with his health.

But that's not the point.

Sun Hang could smell a scent unique to a weird meme coming from the direction of the bedroom.

The aura is not very strong, probably because it has not yet been completely transformed into a monster... But there is no doubt that Xu Dasheng's wife is an infected person.

"You two just stand here and don't go in." Sun Hang said seriously, "I won't beat around the bush. Your wife has been infected by the weird virus, but the good news is that she doesn't seem to have turned into a weird thing yet."

In fact, most of the infected people will not be able to turn into monsters in the end.

According to the statistics of Tianshu Tower, among a thousand naturally infected people, about five to eight people can control the infection process and become beings like Sun Hang and his group. Among the rest, the ratio of self-destruction and transformation into strange corpses is about three to one... As for the infected people who are completely transformed into new strange creatures...

It only occurs once in approximately 1 in 4,000 infected people.

"Ah?!" Xu Dasheng's face changed drastically. He took a few steps back and fell down on the shabby sofa in the corner of the living room.

Old Chen turned around and wanted to run out.

"I suggest you don't run." Sun Hang's indifferent voice made Old Chen stop in his tracks. "If something happens outside, I can't guarantee your safety."

"But...but isn't the infected person...in the room?" Old Chen said with a wry smile.

"Since there are infected people here, the entire block is no longer safe." Sun Hang said, "I suggest you stay within my sight."

"Okay... okay." Old Chen nodded, but he still moved to the door - the farthest place from the bedroom in the entire living room.

Sun Hang took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Yang Qi saying "An infected person was found in Yabei District". Then he walked to the bedroom door, grasped the door handle and turned it gently.

The door did not open easily as expected - it seemed that something was blocking the door.

Sun Hang increased his strength slightly, and the bedroom door was pushed open a crack. A physiologically uncomfortable sound was heard, as if one had stepped into a pool filled with mucus. The sticky and thick semi-fluid squeezed and rubbed against each other, and the tiny bubbles wrapped inside kept bursting, making a slight crackling sound.

Xu Dasheng's old man Chen's face suddenly turned pale. He looked around, grabbed a spatula on the stove at the door, and held it tightly in his hand.

Sun Hang increased the strength of his hands again, and the bedroom door was pushed halfway.

The bedroom was dark as the lights were not on, but Sun Hang could still see clearly what was happening inside.

The rotten flesh like a fungal blanket covered almost every object in the bedroom. On the thing that could barely be called a bed, a humanoid creature was curled up. The mucus-covered rotten flesh wrapped it into a large meat cocoon. The large meat cocoon was still squirming rhythmically with heavy breathing.

"It seems that the infection process has exceeded the danger threshold." Sun Hang muttered to himself. The liquid metal blade condensed at his fingertips, and several hyphae also emerged from the body, wrapped around his wrist, ready to go.

"My...my wife..." Xu Dasheng's trembling voice came from behind him, "Is she...is she still alive?"

He also saw the rotten flesh on the bedroom floor...Without the obstruction of the door panel, the rotten flesh overflowed from the bedroom and slowly spread under the light of the living room.

"Strange, strange thing..." Old Chen said stutteringly, holding the spatula tightly in both hands, his whole body shaking.

"What should we do next according to the process?" Sun Hang muttered, "Oh, yes... it's to assess the condition of the infected and confirm the threat level... but I don't have those professional equipment with me..."

He picked up his phone and took a look. For some reason, Yang Qi, who usually replied to messages within seconds, had stopped responding. It had been almost a minute since Sun Hang sent the message, but it was still in the "unread" status.

"Could it be that he fainted due to the intensity of overtime work?" Sun Hang stuffed the phone back into his pocket helplessly and touched the wall near the door.

Generally speaking, the bedroom light switch is located in this position, but Sun Hang's fingers only touched a pile of disgusting meat, the surface of which was covered with slippery and greasy mucus.

"Tsk..."

Sun Hang simply gave up turning on the light. A small blue flame rose up from his fingertips, burning the mucus while illuminating the small room.

"The breath seems to be quite stable. It doesn't seem to have entered a period of rapid change..." Stepping on the gurgling rotten meat, Sun Hang walked towards the bed step by step.
