Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 345

Before Sun Hang could come up with a solution for the Federation, Wei Yuan's fighter jet sent another laser communication.

"We just received a message from Tianfu City. Four minutes ago, the twin balloons began to move and have now retreated back to the sky above the occupied area and are out of our surveillance range... The alert level has been reduced to level 2."

"What is the one-hit-and-escape tactic... Why did this thing suddenly attack me? What do you think, Brigadier General?" Sun Hang asked.

"I am only responsible for carrying out the mission. You should ask the people on the ground for the specific details." Wei Yuan did not seem willing to talk to Sun Hang more. After informing him of the news, he disconnected the communication again.

……

Nine minutes later, the transport plane piloted by Sun Hang finally landed steadily on the temporary apron behind the Tianfu City Weird Things Research Institute. The fighter jets responsible for the escort circled twice in the air and then flew towards the air force base in the mountains.

As soon as Sun Hang opened the cabin door, the medical staff who had been ready to pick up people immediately carried out the two unconscious pilots on a stretcher.

"Welcome home." Yang Lian, who was wearing a black suit and trousers and had his hair neatly done, stood at the cabin door with his arms folded and said to Sun Hang with a stern face.

"You seem unhappy to see me?" Sun Hang asked.

"No, it's just that the work intensity has been too high recently, and I really don't want to waste my energy on making expressions and expressing emotions." Yang Lian replied expressionlessly.

"I thought you had the same experience as Ling Xiao..."

"what?"

"Nothing?" Sun Hang said casually, "She said she had no strength, but her makeup was very delicate."

Despite this, the foundation and concealer on Yang Lian's face still couldn't completely cover up the dark circles and fatigue in her eyes, and her lips, which were only coated with transparent lip gloss, also looked a little pale.

"My job is to receive hunters and senior military officials who come to reinforce from all over. If I am as unkempt as my sister, the image of the entire Tianfu City will be damaged." Yang Lian replied.

"Tianfu City's image is already rotten, it can't get any worse." Sun Hang looked up at the dark sky, "Where's your sister?"

"She was forced to rest. She should still be lying in the medical cabin." Yang Lian turned around and led Sun Hang and the other two people towards the building of the institute. "Her work intensity is higher than mine. Her physical condition is extremely bad."

"It's a blessing that he didn't die suddenly." Sun Hang nodded, "What about Lao Wang and the others?"

"They are all on guard duty in the area around the institute... Just now, Night Fury heard about the twin balloons attacking your transport plane and almost flew up to fight with the twin balloons. Fortunately, the director persuaded him to stop."

"The main body of the twin balloon? The one in low-Earth orbit?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment. "Can Lao Wang break through the atmosphere alone? And from the bottom up?"

"I don't know." Yang Lian directly gave an excellent answer.

Along the way, Sun Hang found that the Tianfu City Weird Thing Research Institute had completely changed in just two days. A large number of defense facilities and heavy weapons made it look more like a military fortress than a research institute. Everywhere he looked up, he could see several drones hovering in the air - these drones were equipped with special scanning equipment that could identify whether the people entering and leaving the institute were ordinary people, infected people, or something disguised as a human.

The area of ​​the institute has also increased several times. The nearby park and half of the industrial park have been requisitioned by the federal government. All the important industrial facilities that serve meme reverse engineering and are irreplaceable have been moved to the vicinity of the institute, including two FL09 reagent growth lines that had just been shipped from other places and assembled overnight.

A team of fully armed soldiers ran past Sun Hang. The leading officer turned his head slightly to glance at the hunter bracelet on Sun Hang's wrist and gave him a puzzling look.

"It seems that you have been in a lot of trouble recently?" Sun Hang sensed a hint of unfriendly emotion in that look.

"You know?" Yang Qi turned around and looked at Sun Hang with some confusion.

"I don't know." Sun Hang returned the four words to her exactly as they were, "I just made a random guess."

"You guessed right... There are indeed a lot of troubles." Yang Lian sighed, "Although most of the hunters who came to reinforce us cooperated with our work, you also know that among the group of strange hunters, there are quite a few people with strange personalities or tempers - this is not discrimination against you, but a fact recognized by the entire circle."

"I know that."

Sun Hang did not deny it - whether it is a hunter or an ordinary infected person, there are very few people who can remain normal after experiencing such a thing, not to mention that a considerable number of memes will subtly influence and transform the thinking patterns of the infected.

For infected persons management departments, monitoring the psychological state of infected persons is as important as monitoring their infection progress.

For individual "extreme" infected people, the federal government will naturally take extreme coercive measures against them, or even directly carry out "harmless treatment."

"The drunk-driving accident by a hunter the day before yesterday has not been dealt with yet. Yesterday, a group of hunters that had just arrived from Liangzhou clashed with the garrison over a minor matter. Two soldiers were seriously injured and are expected to be disabled for life... Fortunately, the military finally controlled the situation and no one was killed."

"Where is the hunter who caused the trouble?" Sun Hang asked.

"He has been taken under control... As for how to deal with him, that is something that needs to be decided by the higher-ups. I don't need to worry about it." Yang Lian replied.

"I don't want to run into teammates like this when I'm on a mission. I might get stabbed in the back." Sun Hang complained, "If we don't punish this kind of person, he will only become more and more unscrupulous... If we punish him, he will easily bear a grudge... My suggestion is to just shoot them all."

"We are short of manpower, especially for you, the irreplaceable monster hunters." Yang Lian shook his head. "Even if he is a scumbag, as long as he can be used, he can only..."

"But I always feel that these people will only play a negative role."

"Let's leave this problem to the big shots." Yang Lian rubbed his temples. "Now I just want to wait until that day comes... Whether we succeed or fail, we will be relieved."

"a few more days?"

"According to the latest calculation, there are still thirty-five days left."

"Why does it feel like a few days have been shortened?" "After the incident at Factory 105, Chimera has not launched any more attacks, and its hatching speed has also accelerated again after a brief pause... Speaking of which, do you have any idea about what happened to you just now?"

"You mean the transport plane was attacked?"

"Well... Logically speaking, the Gemini Balloon is much stronger than Chimera 17 in terms of both strength and meme level... Chimera 17 cannot possibly control the Gemini Balloon's actions... But the Gemini Balloon's actions just now were too abnormal. Coupled with the fact that the pilot was unconscious and the autopilot system was damaged, it's hard not to suspect that this incident is related to Chimera 17."

"That's true." Sun Hang nodded and thought to himself, I can't tell you that all these things were done by a girl named Anna, right?

"The pilot has been sent for rescue, and the technicians are also conducting a comprehensive inspection of the transport plane, trying to find out the reason for the failure of the autopilot system. I will inform you when the results are out... By the way, who is she?" Yang Lian's eyes suddenly stopped on Fukada Miki and asked.

"Tang Jing, from the superpower management department, is responsible for observing Ling Xiao's condition... According to regulations, Ling Xiao should have been under observation in Chunming City for a month before he could be released, but due to special circumstances, they could only send one accompanying person over." Sun Hang explained.

After Sun Hang changed Fukada Miki's appearance and figure, Fukada Miki immediately contacted Sun Qiong and asked the latter to make urgent changes to the file of her fake identity.

For Miki Fukada herself, she quite likes this exciting and novel "pretend game".

"Oh... I remember my superior seemed to have mentioned it to me." Yang Lian did not doubt him and continued to lead them inside. The security gate shot out several lasers, scanning the four people from head to toe. The identity information of the four people immediately appeared on the screen next to them.

Sun Hang took a glance and saw that Fukada Miki's fake identity had been updated and her age had been changed from twenty-one to twenty-six.

"Speaking of which, how is the memetic reverse engineering going? Since the time is shortened again, the completion rate of the 'insecticide' will be reduced by a few points by then, right?"

"You have to ask Song Yarong about this..." Yang Lian paused for a moment, a barely perceptible red flash across his face, "I don't have enough authority to know about this kind of thing."

"Oh..." Sun Hang said meaningfully, "By the way, the qualified user of the Trickster Equipment named 'Exorcist', is she here?"

"Exorcist? Why are you looking for her?" Yang Lian asked puzzledly.

"Just tell me if she's here or not?"

"Yes. She was just sent here yesterday." Yang Lian nodded and said, "The team she was in encountered a wandering monster in the suburbs of the city. A fight broke out and two soldiers died. She was sent here because of the backlash of the monster equipment. She should be in the medical department now."

"Didn't they say Chimera No. 17 will no longer launch attacks? Then how did this exorcist encounter the strange creature?" Miki Fukada, who was following behind, suddenly asked.

"According to the investigation results, we have basically ruled out any connection between those strange creatures and Chimera 17." Yang Lian said, "Don't forget that the Eternal Night itself will also cause strange creatures to become very active."

"You two, go to the office and wait for me. Ling Xiao, you should know the way, right?" Sun Hang said, and looked at Yang Lian, "Take me to the medical department."

"What? Do you want to use your ability to save that exorcist?" Yang Lian raised his eyebrows, his expression a little complicated.

"Can't you?"

"Are you sure that Tai Sui's meme won't conflict with her own meme?" Yang Lian frowned. "Although you used this method to save Song Yarong and Jiang Yu, they were both ordinary people who had never been infected before... and the exorcist is not only a qualified person for strange equipment, but also a strange hunter and an infected person."

"Who said I'm going to use the old method?"

……

Yang Lian had doubts, but he finally took Sun Hang to the medical department. As soon as Sun Hang entered the door, he ran into an acquaintance - the surgeon who performed the surgery on Jiang Yu last time.

"Are you... here to see an exorcist?" The surgeon was stunned at first, then quickly reacted.

"Yes."

"You came just in time. Her condition is very bad. The mechanical prosthesis can hardly maintain the normal circulation of the remaining biological body... The only thing we can do is to remove all parts of her except the brain, and then..."

"A brain in a vat?"

"Almost... Let's not talk about whether the operation will be successful or not, and how long it can last even if it is successful." The surgeon shook his head and sighed, "We asked her what she thought. She said that rather than having only a brain left, she would rather accept death."

Under the doctor's guidance, Sun Hang saw the exorcist lying in the medical cabin - compared to the last time Sun Hang saw her, her body, which already had a very low human content, now looked even shabbier... There was almost no flesh and blood to be seen in many places, and the only remaining part of the organism showed signs of severe ulceration and necrosis.

"If you want to replicate the last operation, I suggest you consult those senior researchers... I've heard that the memes of different infected people may conflict, just like rejection reactions, but I'm not sure about the specific situation." The doctor said, "After all, a few months ago I was just a surgeon who performed surgery on ordinary people."

"But it has to be quick." The doctor added, "In her current condition, I'm afraid she won't last more than 48 hours."

"It's okay, no need to ask, there won't be any conflict." After Sun Hang finished speaking, he walked forward and placed his palm on the transparent cover of the medical cabin.

The doctor was about to stop Sun Hang's behavior, but the next second, the changes that occurred in the medical cabin made him freeze in place.

The exorcist's missing limbs were seen growing slowly, the prosthetic parts were gradually squeezed and fell off, muscles and ligaments began to appear on the new bones, and the organs that had long been replaced by artificial ones also reappeared in the exorcist's chest and abdominal cavity.

If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be "the living and the dead, the flesh and the bones."

"This...this is impossible!" the doctor widened his eyes and muttered.

What's impossible... Sun Hang complained in his heart, even Ling Xiao, who owed the King of Hell several debts, could be brought back, so this exorcist who was missing "billions" of body parts could naturally be saved.

With the infusion of vitality that was so rich that it was almost material, even if she really only had half of her head left, Sun Hang could make her grow a new body.
