Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 360 Drainage Pipe
"It's possible." Sun Hang nodded.

"Then can you...protect my sister?" Yang Lian asked.

"I'll try my best." Sun Hang said as he walked upstairs, picked up Yang Lian by the waist, and walked into the room.

"You...what are you doing?!" Yang Lian's face suddenly turned red and she began to struggle - but the strength of her struggle was almost negligible. It was more like she was acting coquettishly than struggling.

"I'm hungry." said Sun Hang.

"Why are you holding me when you're hungry? There's food in the refrigerator!" Yang Lian said with mixed shame and anger.

"What? You don't want to?" Sun Hang suddenly stopped.

"... Well, it's not that I don't want to..." Yang Lian's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, "But you have to take a shower first, right?"

"I was planning to take a shower." Sun Hang weighed the body in his arms lightly, buried his head in the other's neck and sniffed hard, "You haven't showered today, have you? It's a good opportunity for us to do it together."

……

Tianfu City Weird Things Research Institute.

Yang Qi, lying in the medical cabin, slowly opened her eyes. Sensing that the user had awakened, the liquid in the cabin was quickly drained away, leaving only a hibernation suit that was almost indistinguishable from body paint clinging to Yang Qi's body.

The hatch was opened, Yang Qi struggled to sit up, and then began to cough violently.

As she coughed, the oxygen fluid that was poured into her lungs and respiratory tract was coughed out along with some sputum.

A warm towel and a glass of water were handed over from the side. Yang Qi turned around and saw Song Yarong sitting next to the medical cabin, looking at her calmly.

This is not the medical department... Yang Qi thought to herself, maybe the space in the medical department is too tight, so her medical cabin was moved to this room...

However, I don't seem to recognize this room... There are no windows, the walls are made of alloy materials, and the light sources on the ceiling are all built-in light panels. It feels like a prison cell...

However, Yang Qi didn't care too much about these things. She said thank you weakly, took the towel and wiped the remaining liquid from the corners of her mouth. Then she tilted her head back and drank a sip of water. After rinsing her mouth, she spit directly into the waste liquid pool next to the medical cabin.

"How long...how long did I sleep?"

"Seventy-two hours." Song Yarong said on the side.

"What?!" Yang Qi's eyes widened instantly. "Didn't you say that I only need to sleep for eight hours? How come it became seventy-two hours?"

"Eight hours is not enough for you to sleep... You really don't know how bad your health was before..." Song Yarong sighed, "It would be easier to find a coffin for you than a medical cabin."

"Has anything happened in these three days? Is the plan going smoothly? Has there been any change on Chimera 17? Where is Sun Hang? He should be back, right?" Yang Qi asked one after another. As he asked, he climbed out of the medical cabin awkwardly, then slipped and fell heavily to the ground.

"What are you in a hurry for?"

"How can I not be anxious?" Yang Qi got up from the ground with some difficulty, "Where are my clothes? Come on, come with me to the command room, I still have work to do..."

"Don't worry, everything is going on in an orderly manner." Song Yarong supported Yang Qi, who was still a little unsteady, and put a soft cotton robe on her. "A lot of things happened in the past three days, but our plan has not been affected... Don't worry, I will tell you slowly."

"You say." Yang Qi looked around the room and found that besides himself and Song Yarong, there were two other people in the room.

One is Wang Xiyi and the other is a strange woman.

"Sun Hang has returned from Chunming City. According to him, the devouring process went smoothly and the new abilities he gained were very useful... In addition, he also brought that person here with him." Song Yarong said.

"That person?" Yang Qi was slightly startled. "You mean...her?"

"Look, the person is sitting there." Song Yarong pouted at Fukada Miki, who was sitting in the corner with her head down playing the video game.

"I remember she was not only ten... Is it Sun Hang's ability?"

"That should be the case. You know Taotie. As long as it devours enough weird things, it can unleash all kinds of strange abilities. Disguise is not a rare ability, right?" Song Yarong shrugged and said.

"Her identity has not been revealed, has it?"

"No, the only people who know her identity are you, me and Sun Hang." Song Yarong said.

"Even I don't know." Wang Xiyi suddenly interrupted, "But I'm not interested... Anyway, I just need to know that she is very important, just like the two of you, and is a key protected person."

"That's good." Yang Qi nodded, "I have to go back to work right now, otherwise..."

"I suggest you not to leave this room." Song Yarong suddenly grabbed Yang Qi's wrist and said seriously.

"why?"

"Just a few hours ago, I was attacked by a strange creature at the PFDA test site." Song Yarong said, "According to my and Sun Hang's judgment, in the next period of time, you, me, and him, the three of us, will become the main targets of the strange creature's attack."

"Why?" Yang Qi repeated the question.

For Yang Qi, who had just woken up from a deep sleep, the feeling of not being able to control all the situations was simply terrible... and the word "attack" that Song Yarong just said made her heart, which had just been put at ease, hang in the air again.

"Because of her." Song Yarong pointed at Fukada Miki, and then told Yang Qi the whole story of the attack, as well as the results of her and Sun Hang's analysis.

During this process, the two did not let Wang Xiyi avoid it, making Wang Xiyi the fourth person in Tianfu City who knew her true identity besides Fukada Miki herself. After all, Wang Xiyi's next main task was to protect their safety. If Wang Xiyi couldn't even guarantee her own safety, then the so-called protection mission would be pure nonsense. "In other words, in order to find out this 'secret', Chimera 17 will continue to send strange creatures to attack us, trying to find the answer from our memory?" After listening to Song Yarong's narration, Yang Qi couldn't help but frowned, "We were still careless... Fortunately, Zhao Ming didn't hear more at that time... It seems that the initial confidentiality work is indeed necessary..."

"The most terrible thing now is that we can't make the truth of this matter public. Once we choose to do so, everyone in the entire institute will be in danger and work efficiency will be greatly reduced. This is exactly the situation that Chimera No. 17 wants to see." Song Yarong said.

"So we have to continue to implement the pesticide plan despite the fact that anyone around us could be its eyes and ears..." Yang Qi bit her back teeth lightly, "This guy... his IQ is too terrifying... It's completely different from the weird creatures we've encountered before..."

"This guy has eaten so many people's brains, how can he not be smart?" Wang Xiyi took over the conversation and said, "But I actually like this kind of opponent. It feels like a game of chess between us, and we can counter each other's moves..."

"When did you become interested in countering a challenge? Don't you always solve problems with violence?" Song Yarong glanced at Wang Xiyi and said in confusion.

"Using violence to break the attack is also breaking it." Wang Xiyi chuckled.

"My suggestion is that we should try not to leave this room even when we are working." Song Yarong pointed to her head. "Our memories are too important. Once Chimera 17 obtains them, the insecticide plan will probably be difficult to succeed."

"Where is this?" Yang Qi asked, "Is this the research institute?"

"Well, it's a safe house converted from a weirdo containment area. It's located 75 meters underground. It has the highest level of defense measures and guard force in Tianfu City. It can definitely be considered a..." Song Yarong suddenly stopped halfway through her speech.

She originally wanted to say that this was definitely an impregnable fortress, but then she changed her mind and realized that except for Chunming City, it seemed that all the places dubbed "impregnable fortresses" eventually fell. This title was like a curse, and whoever was cursed with it would die.

"Forget it, let's not plant a flag for ourselves." Song Yarong said, "You just need to know that this place is safe... If even this place is not safe, then there will be no safe place in the entire Tianfu City and the entire Shuzhou."

"It's safe, but boring." Fukada Miki put down the game console and stretched her body. "Sun Hang had promised to take me to see that 'Chimera 17'... Now it seems that there is no chance before the official battle, right?"

"No, there is a chance." Song Yarong shook her head. "We will definitely take you with us for the preliminary survey before the battle, but please bear with us for the next few days and stay here with us."

"It's so boring." Fukada Miki sighed, picked up the game console and continued playing.

"If that's the case, then Sun Hang, who is still outside, has become the only target that Chimera No. 17 can attack?" Yang Qi suddenly realized, "He is in a very dangerous situation now!"

"That's the theory, but my reason tells me that he is probably the safest one among us." Song Yarong showed a relaxed smile, "I don't think the monsters controlled by Chimera 17 can hurt him... As for the hunter you are responsible for, you should have some confidence in him, right?"

"This is not a question of confidence or not, this...ah." Yang Qi sighed angrily, "You should bring my computer over. I've slept for so long, there must be a lot of work piled up..."

"That's right. As long as you keep yourself busy, you won't have so many random thoughts." Song Yarong smiled and handed over a laptop.

Hunter Residential Area.

Sun Hang, who had just finished an intense exercise, stood under the shower, letting the warm water hit his skin, then flow along the muscle lines of his body to his feet, and finally seep into the drainage pipe under the floor drain.

Yang Lian was so tired that she fell asleep. Sun Hang carried her to another clean room and stuffed the soaked sheets and blankets into the washing machine. The sound of the shower was loud, but it still couldn't completely block out the noise of the washing machine downstairs. The sound was like a big stone thrown into a constantly shaking pipe, bumping against the pipe wall...

Wait, something seems wrong.

Sun Hang suddenly held his breath.

He remembered that he had used the washing machine in the villa before. That washing machine was a high-end platform that he couldn't name, and the noise shouldn't be so loud... Moreover, the sound insulation of the villa itself shouldn't allow him to hear the noise of the washing machine on the first floor when he was on the second floor...

The source of the noise...is not the washing machine.

Sun Hang turned off the shower and stood in the shower room, wet as hell, holding his breath.

The sound of collision came from all directions, seemed very far away, yet seemed to be right next to my ears.

Sun Hang squatted up and put his ear close to the floor drain.

He finally heard the noise clearly - it was not the sound of the washing machine at all, but something that was rushing through the drainage pipe, and the sound was transmitted along the metal pipe into the villa!
"not good!"

Sun Hang grabbed the bath towel hanging on the wall, wrapped himself in it, and rushed out of the bathroom in two steps.

He patted Yang Lian on the bed and whispered, "Don't sleep anymore, wake up!"

“I… I’m so tired… Let me… Let me rest for a while…” Yang Lian muttered, “I… I can’t do it anymore. I really don’t have any strength left…”

"There's something in the pipe system, and it's approaching here!" Sun Hang didn't care about that anymore, and dragged Yang Lian out of the bed, picked up the clothes thrown aside and forced her to put them on, "It's probably coming for me!"

"Don't... don't pull me... I... I really can't move..."

Yang Lian's limbs were limp and she had no strength at all. After Sun Hang tried to put clothes on her twice and failed, he simply threw the clothes aside and wrapped her whole body with the mycelium of the Tai Sui fungus.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Hang injected a small strand of life force directly into her body through the mycelium.

As if she had received a shot of high-strength stimulant, Yang Lian immediately became alert. She looked at herself who was "bound" by the mycelium, and then looked at Sun Hang who was only wearing a bathrobe beside her. Her cheeks couldn't help but blush: "You...what are you going to do next?"

"The strange creature is coming." said Sun Hang.

"Weird creature?! Where is it?" Yang Lian was startled and subconsciously wanted to struggle, but found that he was tied up tightly by the mycelium and could not move at all.

"Inside the drainage pipe... I think it will come out soon."
