Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 86 The storm is coming
The people from the research institute arrived a little later than those from the city defense guard team. Apart from the "cleaners" who were wrapped in white protective suits, Yang Qi, Yang Lian and Wang Xiyi also followed.

Sun Hang noticed that Yang Qi had two dark circles under his eyes, and his originally smooth hair looked a little greasy and clumpy. Although he had changed into a new white coat, he could smell a strong smell of coffee - obviously, this guy had just returned from the abnormal time and space, and immediately threw himself into work, without even having time to take a shower.

"Have you been staying up all night until now?" Sun Hang looked at her and sighed, "You are too dedicated..."

"The research institute is too short-staffed. There's nothing we can do about it." Yang Qi sighed. "By the way, thanks to your timely rescue, Song Yarong is out of danger, but..."

"Just what?" Sun Hang asked.

"Although she survived, she became an infected person." Yang Qi said, "But fortunately, she was infected with the Tai Sui meme, which is relatively mild and easy to control. Apart from that one flaw, it can even give her a body recovery ability far beyond that of ordinary people...

"What's the only flaw?"

"Tai Sui's memes are divided into primary and secondary ones. The owner of the primary meme has absolute control over the secondary memes." Yang Qi continued, "In other words, you can easily decide her life or death with just a thought."

"Oh, that's fine." Sun Hang curled his lips, "I have no interest in controlling others."

"I know this too." Yang Qi looked at Sun Hang firmly, "So the next path is up to her to choose. She can switch to become a monster hunter, or she can continue to stay in the institute as a researcher."

"With her enthusiasm, I think she will treat herself as a research subject." Sun Hang's mind immediately emerged the scene of Song Yarong sitting on the edge of the operating table, holding a scalpel in one hand and tweezers in the other, "dissecting herself."

"It shouldn't be that serious, right?" Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, but then she nodded, "You make sense. I have to tell the teacher and ask him to keep an eye on her."

"Sun Hang, did you dig this big pit?" Wang Xiyi glanced at the battle scene not far away, and then turned her gaze to Sun Hang.

"I guess so. We took advantage of the terrain." Sun Hang nodded. "I originally thought they were just a group of ordinary thugs, but I didn't expect there was an infected person mixed in."

"I just checked the closed-circuit surveillance in the supermarket. If I'm not mistaken, the infected person was probably infected by the 'Blood-Eroding Slime Mold'." Yang Lian suddenly interrupted, then looked at his sister with a meaningful look.

"Speaking of this matter... it is still the responsibility of our institute." Yang Qi sighed, "'Blood Slime Mold' was first discovered in the Mengbala West Rainforest in the southern Yunnan region. The appearance of this strange creature directly turned the four local villages into a barren land... According to the original plan, the Federation will clear a circle of blank isolation belts in the surrounding area and use special chemical agents and incendiary bombs to kill it. However, a considerable number of experts believe that the strange creature is controllable and has a high research value. Therefore, before the killing operation began, a hunter team was sent to extract some slime mold samples and bring them back to the Weird Thing Research Institute in Yuanmou City."

Yang Qi paused and continued, "Later, the Yunnan-Yunnan region fell, and the personnel, research materials, and a large number of experimental samples of the Yuanmou City Weird Treasures Research Institute were transferred to the Tianfu City Weird Treasures Research Institute. The research project on the blood-eroding slime mold was temporarily shelved... With the safety measures of our institute, if it is sealed like this, it is generally unlikely that an accident will occur."

"If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected will happen." Sun Hang said.

"That's right... A few years ago, there was a researcher who was eager for quick success... Well, come to think of it, this guy's personality is actually a bit similar to Yarong, but he is even crazier and has no bottom line than Yarong." Yang Qi went on, "He used his authority to transfer a group of death row prisoners from Tianfu City Prison to his laboratory, and began to secretly conduct experiments on the fusion of the human body and blood-eroding slime mold..." "It seems that his experiment was successful?" Sun Hang turned his head and glanced at the big pit. The "cleaners" of the institute were using a crane-like robotic arm device to pick up the scattered bones at the bottom of the pit one by one, and then sealed them in special containers.

"You can say it was a success, or you can say it failed." Yang Qi shook her head. "Only four people survived the experiment, but without exception, all four of them lost control and ran away, killing the researcher and his assistant before rushing out of the laboratory... When the security department arrived at the scene, several staff members of the institute had already been killed... In addition, it happened that the hunters from Tianfu City were not in the institute that day, so the security department tried their best but only killed two of the four people, allowing the remaining two to escape."

"So, there is another guy like this?" Sun Hang asked.

"No, the other test subject was emotionally unstable. After escaping the institute, he attacked passers-by everywhere and was soon killed by the city defense guards and hunters. The guy you killed was the one who escaped for several years."

"There is something very strange. The car he was riding in seemed to be able to perfectly block the aura of strange creatures. And the aura of strange creatures itself was also very faint... It was as if some means of blocking perception was used. Do you know what's going on?" Sun Hang asked.

"That's a special potion that he stole from the research institute." Yang Qi said, "After being injected with this potion, it can greatly weaken one's own aura. It was originally provided to hunters who need to sneak up on their targets... Speaking of which, after he was injected with this potion, can you still sense his aura?"

"I can 'smell' a little bit." Sun Hang said, "But if he is inside a vehicle or a building, it is difficult to sense it."

"In theory, after injecting this drug, the smell of strange creatures will be completely blocked within 72 hours... Especially for a fusion infected person like him, the shielding effect will be even better. Even if I was face to face with him, I might not be able to smell the smell." Wang Xiyi said, "Is your nose so sensitive?"

"Then I don't know... Maybe he didn't inject enough in order to save the medicine; or maybe this batch of medicine has been stored for too long and has expired." Sun Hang said casually.

"Okay, let's put this aside for now." Yang Qi looked at Sun Hang and said seriously, "I came here because I have something important to talk to you about."

"Business?" Sun Hang turned his head and pointed at the big hole with his eyes. "Isn't this business?"

"No, what I want to say is more important than this." Yang Qi said, "According to the requirements of the Disaster Countermeasures Committee, they plan to gather all the monster hunters, monster equipment and qualified people to carry out a crucial task while the eternal night is just approaching and the monster activities are not yet active."

"Whether it's the local hunters in Shuzhou or the reinforcements coming from other regions, they must all participate in this mission." Wang Xiyi said, "The plane is already waiting for us."

"Where are we going?" Sun Hang asked.

"In Baqu City, the Disaster Countermeasures Committee is located at the frontier command post in Shuzhou." Yang Qi said, "The combat meeting will be held there. Only then will we know what the goal of the mission is."
