Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 349: Creation of Death
"Reinforcements! Tianfu City said reinforcements will arrive soon!" The lieutenant held the communicator between his shoulder and cheek, and spoke excitedly while frantically bandaging the sergeant's wound.

"Don't be silly. I'm more than 40 kilometers away from the urban area, and the nearest battalion-level garrison is more than 70 kilometers away... By the time they get here, it will be too late!" said the sergeant major.

Veins popped out on his forehead, and the pain of having his entire foot cut off can be imagined, but this tough guy in his fifties didn't even utter a groan of pain.

"Morphine! Who has morphine? Bring me a morphine!" The lieutenant's hands were covered in blood, and he was frantically searching in the medical bag he carried with him. But for some reason, the morphine syringe that should have been standard equipment in the battlefield first aid medical kit was completely missing.

"Damn it, where's the morphine..."

"I don't need that thing. Don't bother with it." The sergeant supported himself on the ground with his arms and forced himself to sit up. "Drive the SUV over here and help me get on it."

"You are injured!" the lieutenant said anxiously, "You must receive treatment immediately!"

"I can't leave in this state... Your convoy has limited space. If I don't leave, you can take one more person with you." The sergeant gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, take my soldiers with you, I will cover your retreat."

"Wait a little longer, reinforcements may be on the way!" the lieutenant advised.

"Wait for them! Wait for them to come and collect our bodies? Get out! Get out! The farther the better!"

Just over ten minutes ago, the veteran told the lieutenant to "get out" in the same tone, but now when the same word was spoken again, it had a completely different feeling to the lieutenant.

On the other side, the battle between the Puppet Master and the Black Robe Hunter was completely suppressed - she could only rely on the skeleton as a meat shield to resist the metal feathers that kept shooting down from the sky, and the female skeleton that cut off one of the Black Robe Hunter's claws could only keep dodging on the ground and could not touch the Black Robe Hunter hanging in the air at all.

It also tried to jump - it must be said that its jumping ability was amazing. The highest it jumped was more than 20 meters above the ground... However, 20 meters was already its limit.

Only the first jump successfully attacked the black-robed hunter. The skeleton used its scalpel-like fingers to cut off a large piece of metal wings. However, the next second, after realizing that the skeleton had extremely strong jumping ability, the black-robed hunter directly raised his height to fifty meters away.

The female corpse tried to jump a few more times, but she couldn't even reach half the distance. Instead, her body was covered with metal wings that looked like flying knives.

"Why don't you get out of here?" the sergeant cursed. "Hurry up and take my soldiers with you. They are still young! They shouldn't die here! Once you are far away, I will directly call for long-range artillery fire - compared to those so-called reinforcements, I still trust the speed of the artillery shells more!"

The lieutenant gritted his teeth, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision. He pulled over a soldier next to him, pushed the sergeant major into the soldier's arms, and shouted, "Take your stationmaster to the car, the light armored vehicle in front!"

After saying that, he stood up and ran towards the off-road vehicle equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun parked in the open space!

"What the hell are you doing?!" the sergeant-major yelled.

"I'll cover you!" the lieutenant said without turning his head.

"You're the one who cuts off the fucking job! Don't fucking waste time!! Put me down! Don't hold me! Believe it or not, I'm going to shoot you!" The sergeant pushed away the soldier who was holding him, hopping on one foot as he chased after the lieutenant, "Don't try to steal the job from me! The fucking federation spent so much money on your studies, and the teachers in the military academy spent so much time and energy on you, and you want to just fucking die here? No way!!"

The sergeant major lunged forward, but the lieutenant, who had all his limbs intact, ran much faster than him. The sergeant major missed his target and fell heavily to the ground.

"Fuck you, you bastard! Come back here!" The sergeant lying on the ground was still cursing.

However, at this moment, a deafening sound of air explosion came from far away, and all the glass windows of the entire outpost were shattered in an instant. The soldiers present had to cover their ears and squat down in pain.

"Bang!" With a loud crash sound, the black-robed hunter who was "pouring fire" in the air suddenly disappeared, leaving only hundreds of deformed metal feathers floating down from the air.

"...W-what's happening?" The lieutenant turned around and saw half a piece of feather as thin as a cicada's wing stuck in the shoulder joint of the powered exoskeleton. The surface of the feather was stained with some tiny pieces of blood and flesh.

The lieutenant was certain that this flesh and blood did not belong to him.

"What's going on?" The sergeant turned over and lay on his back on the ground. "What happened? Where's the hunter?!"

"No...I don't know." The soldier next to him was also confused.

"Okay, it seems to be a long-range attack coming from the direction of Tianfu City! The sound just now was the sonic boom when breaking the sound barrier!" The lieutenant suddenly reacted and said.

"Did anyone see the explosion?" asked the sergeant.

Several soldiers nearby shook their heads.

"This is not a weapon that kills targets by explosion or fragmentation. It should be a shell fired by a rail gun or coil gun. It is a pure kinetic weapon!" said the lieutenant, "But I don't remember Tianfu City deploying this kind of weapon..."

Just when everyone was in doubt, a young man covered in blood suddenly walked over from a distance. In his hand, he was dragging a deformed spine with some fresh flesh and blood still left on it.

"Who are you?" The soldiers at the outpost and the patrol convoy raised their weapons at the same time and aimed at the young man.

"I'm Sun Hang, a registered monster hunter in Tianfu City, with the number 0420." Sun Hang wiped the blood and flesh off his face and said, "I came here to support you."

"Hunter? Are you a hunter who came to support us?" The lieutenant's expression was a little stiff. "You... flew... flew here... from Tianfu City?"

He had never heard of any electromagnetic cannon that could use humans as cannonballs... Even if there was, the strength of the "cannonball" would be too high. Even a monster hunter might not be able to withstand it...

Could it be that the sonic boom they just heard was caused by this young hunter named Sun Hang?

"Yes, I didn't brake in time and flew over my head. I think I accidentally hit something." Sun Hang chuckled, "Didn't they say there was a hunter out of control? Where is that hunter?"

The lieutenant looked at the blood on Sun Hang's body, then looked at the scattered pieces of meat and feathers on the ground... Then he carefully pointed to the spine in Sun Hang's hand and said, "He... He seems to be in your hand."

"You mean this?" Sun Hang picked up the spine and shook it twice, then threw it aside. "I thought it was just an unlucky monster that I created."

"He...his infection process seems to have exceeded the dangerous threshold." The lieutenant said, "It has become completely weird, so it's not wrong to say it's a monster..." "Then is there anything else?" Sun Hang scratched his head.

"No... uh, yes, yes." The lieutenant subconsciously said no, and then immediately changed his words, "We need to count the casualties and equipment losses, and there are many seriously injured who need to be sent to the rear for rescue immediately... In addition, the bodies of the out-of-control hunters also need to be carefully collected..."

The lieutenant took one look at the "Hunter's debris" scattered everywhere, and his voice became much lower.

He estimated that the "fragments" of the hunter were probably everywhere within a two-kilometer radius, and collecting them all might not be a task their team was capable of doing.

"In addition, Post 307 was severely damaged and needs repairs. We also need to recruit more personnel to the post... We also need to write a detailed report..."

"Oh, this is your job and has nothing to do with me." The young hunter named Sun Hang waved his hand and walked away on his own.

The lieutenant raised his head and saw the expressionless puppeteer walk up to Sun Hang, take out a pack of napkins from the pocket of her skirt, pull out one, and stand on tiptoe to wipe the blood off Sun Hang's face.

These two people... know each other?
No, not only do they know each other, but they seem to have a close relationship?

Although the lieutenant was very curious, he finally suppressed the urge to gossip, turned around and directed the remaining soldiers to move all the wounded, including the sergeant, to the car one by one.

Zhong Ling did not say anything. She just took the tissue and gently wiped Sun Hang's face - however, at that speed, the blood stains on Sun Hang's face were almost blown dry in an instant, and it was extremely difficult to wipe them off with a dry tissue... Zhong Ling frowned slightly, and the strength under her hands increased a bit.

"Don't wipe it, don't wipe it. I'll just go get some water to wash my face." Sun Hang grabbed Zhong Ling's slender wrist, put her hand down, and shouted to the lieutenant's back, "Hey, is there running water here?"

"Tap water? There should be some in the outpost... You want..."

"Wash your face."

"Oh, then just use drinking water!" The lieutenant took four bottles of mineral water from the car and stuffed them directly into Sun Hang's hands.

"Thank you." Sun Hang unscrewed a bottle of water and poured it directly onto his face.

"We should be the ones thanking you... If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid more people would have died here."

In fact, Sun Hang could fully utilize his ability to remove the stains on his body. He could even absorb the blood directly into his skin... But since someone was willing to serve him, he was happy to enjoy it.

Sun Hang casually pulled over a box and placed it under his butt. Zhong Ling, who was standing close to him, used a wet tissue to wipe the blood off Sun Hang's face and neck.

"Can I ask... how did you kill that out-of-control hunter?" The lieutenant hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question that most interested him.

"I'm not sure, I just ran into it." Sun Hang blinked and pretended to be puzzled. "I was wondering if I had hit something and needed to pay for it... I grabbed it carelessly and grabbed a spine... I was thinking of slowing down and helping the owner put it back and then making amends... Now it's fine, it's easier."

"Pretend...pretend back?" The lieutenant wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in surprise.

"Just kidding, I actually saw this guy from a long distance away." Sun Hang smiled, "Such a big birdman hovering in the air is very conspicuous. I thought it would take a lot of effort to deal with it, but who knew it would be so resistant to collisions."

"Not resistant to collision..."

The lieutenant couldn't help but recall the scene where the soldiers at the outpost had just strafed the black-robed hunter with a machine gun - the 12.7mm caliber heavy machine gun bullets that could penetrate an mm-thick concrete wall could only break the outermost feathers of the wings, but the young hunter in front of him, who looked about the same age as himself, actually used his flesh and blood body to smash the black-robed hunter to pieces.

It is literally...meager.

"I, I'm going to go to work first. I'll trouble you to take care of the security at the scene... If any strange creature approaches at this time..."

"I know, I know. It's my job and I will naturally be responsible for it to the end," said Sun Hang.

The lieutenant ran towards the convoy again. Sun Hang turned his head to look at Zhong Ling who was so close to him. A faint fragrance floated into his nostrils.

Many people say that the scent on women's bodies is actually the scent of shampoo and shower gel, but for some reason, when they are doing strenuous exercise and sweating a lot, this scent will become stronger.

Is this the effect of hormones...or have these women been "marinated" by cosmetics and skin care products?

That's not right... Zhong Ling seems to never use cosmetics or skin care products... The shampoo and shower gel she uses are all the unlabeled small white bottles distributed by Tianshu Tower. This kind of thing does not have any fragrance added and has no odor at all.

In other words, the smell I smelled... was her sweat?

Sun Hang took another deep breath, and his right hand subconsciously reached out to Zhong Ling's waist.

But just as he was about to touch Zhong Ling's lower back, a gaze filled with murderous intent suddenly came from the side.

Sun Hang glanced out of the corner of his eye and, sure enough, Skeleton No. 1 was staring at him hungrily.

Sun Hang withdrew his hand instantly, sat obediently on the box, and let Zhong Ling wipe the blood off his face.

"Are you going home for dinner today?" Sun Hang asked, "This convoy can't continue its patrol mission anyway."

Zhong Ling: “Hmm?”

"I feel that instant noodles are not as delicious as the rice you cook. No, it should be said that they are too different." Sun Hang said with a shameless face, "You have spoiled my taste. You have to be responsible."
