Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 432 False Image

Due to the previous incidents of missing personnel, the combat command decided not to send garrison personnel to Bunker No. 1 and Bunker No. 2, but instead started the fully automatic operation mode of the two bunkers - the bunker main control computer will transmit the images taken by the observation equipment back to the rear in real time, and as for daily patrols, bunker maintenance, troubleshooting and other tasks, they are handed over to the military robots previously deployed inside the bunker.

The strange creature that disappeared deep in the bunker has never been found, but this does not affect the normal operation of the bunker...or in other words, after being converted into an unmanned bunker, the operation process of the entire frontier bunker has become much simpler.

As long as the normal operation of the reactor, observation equipment and communication equipment can be guaranteed, all facilities used to ensure the living environment of personnel can be shut down. This reduces the energy consumption of the bunker by more than half, and the logistics department no longer needs to send people to deliver various daily necessities to the bunker every once in a while.

There was a robot dog guarding the entrance to the vehicle depot. When Sun Hang approached, the robot dog immediately pointed the weapon on its back at Sun Hang.

The next second, a red laser shot out from the single eye on the robot dog's head, scanning Sun Hang from head to toe.

"Authentication completed, alert lifted." An AI-synthesized voice came from the robot dog's loudspeaker, and the muzzle of the 7mm rapid-fire machine gun was moved away from Sun Hang. "Go3-1305 is carrying out Mission . The visitor's information has been recorded and is being uploaded."

"Sun Hang, what are you doing in Bunker No. 1?" Yang Qi's voice rang out in the headset, obviously receiving the message sent back by the robot dog.

"I always feel that something is wrong with the bunker." Sun Hang replied, "If you insist on asking why, then I can only tell you... a man's intuition."

"Is it because of the strange creature that disappeared inexplicably?" Yang Qi asked, "Our most important thing right now is to prepare for the upcoming final combat operation. As long as the strange creature does not have any impact on the final combat operation, I think we can ignore it for the time being... Besides, in the previous fight, didn't you find that this strange creature still has some human self-awareness?"

"No, that's not the reason." Sun Hang shook his head. "That strange creature didn't pose any threat to me, from beginning to end... What made me feel that something was wrong was something else."

"Then you better be careful... I have already connected to all the surveillance cameras inside Bunker No. 1. Just tell me which surveillance camera you need to check." Yang Qi said.

"Okay." Sun Hang stood where he was and slowly closed his eyes.

With his body as the center, countless tentacles of consciousness radiated out in all directions.

These tentacles of consciousness slowly stroked the floor, walls and ceiling of the bunker. Faintly, Sun Hang seemed to glimpse scenes of battle - he saw a man running wildly, and the next scene, the man fell heavily to the ground, and the next scene was another man dragging the fallen man and running forward with all his might.

From the attire of these people, it can be identified that they are all the garrison personnel of Bunker No. 1, but in these memory images, their facial features are extremely blurry, and their body shapes and some individual characteristics that can be used to identify their identities are also blurred... It's like a large-scale MMORPG with the graphics settings adjusted to the lowest configuration, and then all the characters become identical.

The two men struggled to pass through the airtight door and crawled into the vehicle hangar. Then, the guy who was dragging his companion took a fire extinguisher from the wall and sprayed it in the direction of the airtight door.

In these images, Sun Hang did not see anything chasing them... but the body movements of these two people made people feel the fear from the bottom of their hearts, as if something extremely terrifying was chasing them from behind.

"Fire extinguisher? Is there a fire inside the bunker?"

"But even if the fire in the passage spreads, the airtight doors should be able to block it. These airtight doors themselves have the function of fireproof doors... They just need to close the door, there is no need to get a fire extinguisher, right?"

"The personnel stationed in Bunker No. 1 are all experienced veterans. Even if they were panicked, they would not make such a low-level mistake... Could it be that there are still people in the passage who have not evacuated, so they chose not to close the door?"

"No... If the fire was so fierce, those who didn't evacuate must be in great danger. They should know how to make a choice... And Liu Li has read the vehicle usage records of Bunker No. 1. Judging from the number of vehicles that left the bunker, most of the people in the bunker should have successfully evacuated..."

"No, it's still not right... If it was fire, I should be able to see it in these images... or feel it... But there always seems to be something missing in these images..."

"Is it a monster? A monster in the form of fire? A spirit?"

Sun Hang opened his eyes, and those memory scenes disappeared. He walked to the airtight door and pressed his palm print on the door lock.

"Authentication passed, welcome, hunter Sun Hang."

The airtight door slid open to both sides with a "click", revealing a deep passage at the back.

Sun Hang walked in.

There were no signs of burning inside the passage, and even few signs of fighting... Sun Hang only found a dozen bullet holes on the wall, and a small number of metal shells scattered on the ground. The caliber and number of the shells and bullet holes matched, so they should have been shot from the same pistol.

In the memory scenes just now, one of the two men was dragging his fallen companion while shooting behind him with a pistol. Obviously, these bullet holes and shell casings should have been left by that person.

"It seems that the creature chasing them is indeed some kind of strange creature..."

Sun Hang walked to the wall, reached out his hand to pick at the bullet hole on the wall, and then put his nose close to it to smell it.

He smelled nothing except the distinct odor of concrete in damp conditions.

There was no trace of any strange aura left.

"What are you doing?" Yang Qi, who was always paying attention to Sun Hang's every move, couldn't help but ask.

Sun Hang looked up and saw that the surveillance camera in the corner of the passage was facing him, and the red indicator light next to the camera was flashing rhythmically.

"There are bullet holes on the wall." Sun Hang said.

"We have already discovered this," Yang Qi said, "but other than the bullet holes, there are no signs of fighting. Perhaps the surviving garrison personnel encountered the humanoid monster while retreating to the vehicle hangar... but the humanoid monster still had some sense, so it did not attack the garrison personnel."

There was no trace of blood at the scene - judging from the fighting ability of the humanoid monster, if it really wanted to kill someone, perhaps only one of the garrison personnel in Bunker No. 1 would be able to escape to the end of the passage alive.

That person is the only qualified user of the strange weapon equipment in the bunker, Yang Baishuang.

However, it is now basically certain that Yang Baishuang has become "part" of the humanoid monster, so this assumption makes no sense.

"How do I get to the observation room in Bunker No. 1?" Sun Hang asked.

"Go straight along this passage, turn left after about 15 meters, and then walk another 20 meters. It's the second door on the left." Yang Qi said, "There's a sign saying 'Observation Room' at the door. I think you won't make a mistake." "Okay."

Under Yang Qi's guidance, Sun Hang quickly arrived at the observation room.

At the door of the observation room, Sun Hang hesitated for a moment - it was not until this moment that he realized where the feeling of something being wrong had come from... The source of this feeling was behind this door.

"What's wrong with you? Don't you want to go in?" Yang Qi asked.

"The place that makes me feel something is wrong is the observation room," said Sun Hang.

"There's nothing unusual in the observation room?" Yang Qi asked doubtfully. "If you think there's a problem, I can directly send you the surveillance footage inside the observation room... Everything is normal inside, and there are two humanoid robots on duty next to the equipment."

The surveillance footage of the observation room was quickly transmitted to Sun Hang's mobile phone. Although the mobile phone screen could not compare with the high-resolution large screen in the monitoring room, it was still possible to see the scene in the observation room clearly. As Yang Qi said, all the equipment in the observation room was operating normally, and the two "H4" humanoid robots of Yushu Military Technology were standing against the wall, in an energy-saving standby state.

"I'll go in and take a look."

After Sun Hang finished speaking, he reached out and pushed open the door of the observation room.

The moment he pushed open the door, he felt as if his vision shook for a moment.

The scene in the observation room was exactly the same as what he saw on the surveillance footage, except that two H4 robots were forced to wake up because of the intrusion - but after they scanned Sun Hang and confirmed his identity, they returned to their motionless standby state.

"Are you sure that the observation room is the source of the abnormality you feel?" Yang Qi confirmed with Sun Hang.

Sun Hang took out his cell phone and took a look at the surveillance screen - in the screen, he was standing in the middle of the monitoring room, looking down at the phone in his hand.

Sun Hang turned his head and looked at the surveillance camera on the ceiling behind him. The person in the surveillance screen also turned his head at the same time, and his eyes were directly fixed on the camera on the ceiling.

Just when Sun Hang felt confused, a strange meme that had been sealed for a long time in his body suddenly became inexplicably restless.

Sun Hang was suddenly shocked - this meme came from the TV monster he devoured in the Tianshu Tower.

"Unknown Item No. 999".

The complexity of the meme of this monster is completely different from that of all the monsters that Sun Hang had swallowed before... If the complexity of the memes of the monsters that Sun Hang had swallowed before is compared to the pixel games on the red and white machine, then the complexity of the meme of "Unknown Contained Object No. 999" is simply a super 3A masterpiece that can only be run smoothly with the latest and most advanced computers with the highest image quality...

Sun Hang even doubted at one point whether the complexity of this thing's meme could compete with the legendary original primary monster.

Of course, the complexity of a meme doesn't necessarily mean that the abilities it bestows on the infected are necessarily strong... But from another perspective, the more complex the meme, the more difficult it is for Sun Hang to absorb and digest. It is for this reason that Sun Hang has temporarily sealed up the meme of Unknown Object No. 999, intending to slowly digest it when he has free time in the future.

But just now, the memetic seal of Unknown Object No. 999 suddenly loosened a little, and a small piece of the meme from Unknown Object No. 999 was integrated into Sun Hang's own memetic fragment in an incredible way.

Ripples began to appear in the scene in Sun Hang's vision, and then some things gradually changed...

Sun Hang was shocked to discover that the devices that were originally in normal operation were all displaying the words "connection disconnected" on the screens. The observation equipment connected to the ultra-long-distance telescope outside the bunker was also in a faulty state, with a bright red indicator light on the operating panel.

Sun Hang looked at the surveillance screen in his hand again... Everything was normal in the screen: all the equipment was running on its own, and the real-time images captured by the observation equipment were being transmitted back to the rear through the remote communication device. Although the file transmission speed was not as fast as the high-speed optical fiber in the urban area, it was at least stable. The green lights on the operation panel of the observation equipment were all lit, symbolizing "normal". Occasionally, a few yellow lights would flash, but that was only due to signal fluctuations and could not be considered a malfunction at all.

Sun Hang took a deep breath and asked, "Yang Qi, from your side, is everything normal in the observation room?"

"Yeah... Did you find anything unusual?"

"Where is the real-time image of Chimera 17 transmitted back from Bunker 1?"

"It's not a problem... Although there is a delay of about two seconds, it doesn't have much impact... The previous few waves of our feints were also recorded very clearly..."

"I'm afraid we have all been deceived." Sun Hang said, taking a "real photo" of the observation room with his mobile phone and sending it to Yang Qi.

Two seconds later, a low voice came from the communication channel: "How could this happen..."

"The monitoring system has been hacked by Chimera 17. The images you see are all fake... The only ones who can see the real images are probably the flight formation that carried out the second wave of feint attack... However, they were flying above the clouds the whole time. The three fighter jets that broke into the clouds all crashed. In other words, they did not see the true appearance of Chimera 17 now." Sun Hang said.

"Sun Hang, can you find a way to fix these devices?" Yang Qi said, "I have a bad feeling!"

"I don't know how to repair it. But I can tell you the problems I encountered, and then you can teach me how to operate it step by step." Sun Hang pulled over a chair and sat in front of the observation equipment.

At this moment, the H4 robot on standby suddenly twitched twice strangely, and the eyes on its head suddenly burst into red light. An unclear voice came out of the robot's mouth: "The system... the system has been... invaded by an unknown person..."

Sun Hang didn't care about repairing the equipment at this time. He just stood up, drew his gun, and aimed at the robot's head.

At the same time, dozens of liquid metal flying blades surrounded him, and two mycelium puppets separated silently from behind Sun Hang, ready to attack.

"Mom...Mom..." A strange voice came out of the robot's mouth, "I have reminded you before...many times...that what you see...is not necessarily...true. Fortunately, you realized it...not too late."

"Anna?" Sun Hang subconsciously looked up at the camera in the observation room.

"Don't worry... I will block this video... just like she did." Anna, who was possessed by the robot, said, "I have also handled your real-time communication for you... They won't notice my existence, just like they never noticed her changes."

"She...means Chimera 17?"
