Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 434 may be heavier than Mount Tai

Combat hunters like Lao Wang and Zhulong are "renewable resources" for the Xiazhou Federation... But hunters like Fukada Miki and "Bao Si" who have no combat capabilities but have extremely special abilities are "rare resources" that cannot be replaced or replicated.

Just like the characters in online games, numerical monsters will be eliminated sooner or later due to version updates, but characters with special mechanisms will always have the opportunity to shine.

There is a saying that goes, "Output is changing, but support is constant" - the people above decided to send Fukada Miki to the front line, which shows that they are ready to fight a desperate battle with Chimera No. 17.

The impact caused by the successful hatching of Chimera 17 was unacceptable to the federal top brass - many researchers even believed that the destructive power of Chimera 17 could already be classified as that of a primary monster.

"What does she think?" Sun Hang asked, "She should know that this kind of mission is a sure death, right?"

"Well, she is right next to me now, let her talk to you herself..." Yang Qi said.

Fukada Miki's voice suddenly interrupted: "Being able to see the fierce battle between the top hunters and the original primary monsters up close, this time it's worth it even if I die!"

"Friend, are you awake?" Sun Hang was speechless.

"Awake, I'm awake, very awake!" Fukada Miki said firmly, "You must take me with you. With me here, the success rate of this mission will at least increase by several percentage points, right?"

"No, I mean, there's a high probability that you'll die. Have you thought about this clearly?"

"Everyone will die. Rather than dying in a hospital bed with tubes all over my body in my old age, I would rather make my death more dazzling." Fukada Miki pretended to be deep, "What's the saying? Everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a feather... If I really die, remember to burn the newly released 3A masterpieces for me every year!"

"I didn't expect you to be so conscious." Sun Hang said, "I can only say that I will do my best to protect you, but I can't make any promises to you."

"I know, I know." Fukada Miki said, "But please don't let me die before I complete my mission... I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of dying in vain."

"Ah."

……

……

When Garuda hovered over Bunker No. 39, the cocoon shell shed by Chimera had accounted for % of the total area.

Large areas of red magma were exposed, dyeing the dark sky dark red.

"From a distance, it looks like an active volcano that is about to erupt." Lao Wang stood on the edge of the Garuda deck, gazing at Chimera XVII standing on the wasteland.

The heavy rain that had lasted for more than a month finally stopped, but the heavy clouds still floated over the restricted area, like a huge rock pressing on people's hearts, making it hard to breathe.

"I feel that it is more like the hell described in those fantasy novels." Sun Hang put his arms behind his head and said lazily, "Flowing magma, strange creatures, faces of deceased people... Tsk, how appropriate."

"That's hell." Song Yarong walked over, "Today, many people will die there..."

"There's no need for today. Aren't there enough people who died before?" Wang Xiyi raised her eyebrows, "It's time to settle accounts with this guy."

"Sun Hang, stop looking at the scenery here and come here quickly. We still need your assistance in the last step of the PFDA assembly." Song Yarong patted Sun Hang on the shoulder and stuffed a bottle of Coke into his hand. "This is the last treasure. Am I being nice to you?"

Sun Hang glanced at the Coke in his hand. The black bottle cap had the words "Sugar-free" written on it. He immediately gave the Coke back to Song Yarong and said, "You should keep the Toilet Cleaner for yourself."

"Hey, are you discriminating against aspartame and acesulfame potassium?"

"Hi, yes."

"...That's great. I'll keep it for myself." Song Yarong unscrewed the bottle cap and took a big gulp. As she walked, she continued to talk to Sun Hang, "Since the final combat operation was brought forward, we don't have time to arrange launch points around Chimera 17. To solve this problem, I plan to use Garuda as a mobile launch platform."

"Fly around Chimera 17?"

"Yes, we will launch PFDAs at Chimera 17 from different directions. At the same time, every time a PFDA is launched, a formation of drones will take off from Garuda to serve as targets to attract the firepower of Chimera 17."

"If it's launched in a circle, there will be a long gap between the first person to start and the last person to start, right?" Sun Hang pondered, "I feel like this big guy is flying pretty slowly."

"I have good news. In addition to you and Lao Wang, there are more than nine people who are rushing in."

"Oh? A new sucker has joined?"

"What do you mean by scapegoat? Don't talk nonsense!" Song Yarong patted Sun Hang lightly, "Perhaps in order to increase the success rate of the final combat operation, Chunming City has sent a group of hunters with specialized physical strength, a total of thirty-five people..."

"So many? Where are they? I can't see them." Sun Hang looked around and saw the files of the nine hunters who had been selected earlier. They were now on the deck cooperating with the technicians to carry out the final debugging of the PFDA's control system. Apart from these nine people, there were only busy technicians beside the other dozens of PFDAs, and there was no sign of the driver at all.

"In the cold storage inside Garuda." Song Yarong said.

"Cold storage? Is the person being delivered alive or dead?" A bold idea suddenly popped up in Sun Hang's mind.

"Shh, keep your voice down... These hunters, their origins are actually a bit similar to Lao Wang's." Song Yarong looked around, and after confirming that there were no irrelevant people, she lowered her voice and said to Sun Hang, "Mass-produced hunters, do you understand?"

"Didn't they say that all these projects were stopped?" Sun Hang laughed, "This fits my stereotype of the federal high-level officials."

"The conditions of these mass-produced hunters are not very stable, so they are usually sealed in permafrost coffins and will only be awakened when there is a mission. Their memories and personalities have been specially debugged, and they will unconditionally obey the orders of the 'Anchor'." Song Yarong explained.

"Anchor? What is that?" Sun Hang asked. "It's a new word."

"You can think of them as their commanders," Song Yarong said. "In the memories and emotions of these mass-produced hunters, a special gap will be reserved. When they are needed, the personal information of the person chosen as the anchor will be filled in this gap... After they wake up, they will obey the orders of the anchor, and even if the anchor tells them to die, they will not hesitate at all."

"Don't tell me that the anchor you chose is me." "Congratulations, you got it right." Song Yarong smiled dryly, "As the commander on the front line, you are the 'anchor' of this batch of mass-produced hunters."

"Yarong." Yang Qi's voice suddenly came from the communication channel, "The cocoon shell shedding area of ​​Chimera 40 has exceeded %. The 'injectors' of all the bodies have been installed. In three minutes, prepare to launch the first team."

"Okay, I understand." Song Yarong looked up at Sun Hang and said, "Follow me."

There are a total of 44 PFDAs parked on the deck of Garuda, which are divided into eleven teams. The first nine teams each have four PFDAs, driven by an ordinary hunter and three mass-produced hunters respectively. The last two teams are led by Sun Hang and Wang Xiyi respectively, and each team has four more mass-produced hunters.

Sun Hang's team has the largest number of people. In addition to four mass-produced hunters, he also has to bring Fukada Miki.

"Yang Qi, are you sure you want to put me in the last team?" Sun Hang asked doubtfully, "Fukada Miki is in my team. If we want to find Chimera 17's flaw as soon as possible, we should be the first to set off, right?"

Without the assistance of Fukada Miki, even if the advance teams successfully arrived at the foot of Chimera No. 17, they could only grope around blindly and randomly choose a location to inject the "insecticide" into...

With the current level of pesticide, if it cannot be injected into the vital parts of Chimera No. 17, it would be a pipe dream to kill Chimera No. 17.

"Your team and Wang Xiyi's team... are the key to the mission." Yang Qi whispered.

"You mean, these nine teams in front are also cannon fodder?"

Yang Qi didn't answer, which was considered as her agreement.

"Since we can't carry out a saturation operation, we can only place our bets on the person with the greatest hope of success." Song Yarong stared at Sun Hang and said, "Everyone's sacrifice today is to help you open up the road to success... I hope you don't let them down."

"What you said has a bit of moral blackmail..." Sun Hang muttered softly.

"If I want to blackmail you morally, I will tie the lives of everyone here to yours." Song Yarong retorted, "I'm just stating a fact."

"..."

"Okay, the first team is about to set off, go and help them solve the problem with the mycelium components! Look at those technicians, they are eagerly waiting for you."

……

"Speaking of which, where are my teammates?" The chosen hunter sat in the cockpit of the PFDA, turning his neck left and right within the limited range of motion. "Didn't I say I still have three 'wingmen'? The aircraft has arrived, but where are the pilots?"

Before he finished speaking, three permafrost coffins were pushed next to the machine body. As a white ice mist spread out, three figures wearing hibernation suits sat up from the permafrost coffins.

The chosen hunter was stunned for a moment. He turned his head in surprise and glanced at Sun Hang and Song Yarong who were standing beside him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"I know what you're going to say." Sun Hang patted the shell of his machine. "We are short of manpower. There is nothing we can do."

"They are cannon fodder, right..." the hunter said bitterly, "No, I am also cannon fodder...right?"

"If you die, you'll be cannon fodder." Sun Hang smiled at him, "If you survive, you'll be a hero."

"Fuck..." The hunter closed his eyes tightly, "I actually guessed it a long time ago...Fuck."

The three mass-produced hunters who sat up from the eternally frozen coffins looked around blankly. When they saw Sun Hang, their eyes suddenly lit up like those of living people.

"You should all be clear about the mission, right?" As anchors, they could only obey Sun Hang's orders. "I took a look at the 'instructions'. Normally, you should be tested physically and emotionally first, but there is no time to deal with those red tapes now. You should put on your anti-gravity suits now, then enter the machine and wait for the launch order."

"Yes." The three of them responded immediately.

For a moment, Sun Hang felt that these three mass-produced hunters were three living people, but when their eyes moved away from him, these three people suddenly turned into three emotionless puppets.

Not only do they have no emotions, Sun Hang even suspects that their self-personality may not be complete - even Ling Xiao, whose all emotions were absorbed by Anna, would not be like this.

If this kind of thing were to get out, it would definitely cause a public opinion storm, right?

But it can't be spread out...

The four PFDAs were quickly prepared, and all the mycelium components made by Sun Hang were installed on the fuselage. Along with the countdown returning to zero, long flames suddenly spurted out from the tails of dozens of thrusters bundled together, and the four fuselages were instantly launched from the deck like arrows.

"The first team has completed the launch. Garuda will immediately move to launch point No. 2!" Song Yarong said while holding the intercom. "Repeat, the first team has completed the launch. Garuda will immediately move to launch point No. 2!"

The four PFDAs, with long tails of flame, continued to accelerate under the gloomy clouds. At the same time, countless drones swarmed out of Garuda's hangar like locusts, flying towards Chimera XVII in the distance.

This is the last stock of Tianfu City - no reservations, a last gamble, these two words are the best description of this operation.

Sun Hang no longer paid attention to the situation of the first team. He and Song Yarong quickly rushed to the second team.

The hunter of the second team is a woman, and a woman that Sun Hang is familiar with—Iron Wall’s sister, Crystal Princess.

When she saw those mass-produced hunters, her reaction was not as big as the first hunter. Instead, she smiled at Sun Hang and said, "The size of my PFDA is a bit big. It should take you more effort to make those components, right?"

"Not bad." Sun Hang nodded. "Your brother doesn't object to your participation in this operation?"

"He wanted to come himself." Crystal Princess still kept smiling, "but he has other more important tasks, so he can't come."

At this moment, Yang Qi's deep voice came from Sun Hang's earphones: "The first team... was wiped out."
