Scavenger

Chapter 364 Scavengers

Ye Jiu: “???”

Although Sun Hang and Yang Lian had cleared out a lot of the weirdos, compared to the number of residents in this neighborhood, the number they cleared out was simply a drop in the bucket - Ye Jiu was right, the scene below was exactly the same as in a zombie movie.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"No... I mean..." Ye Jiu held it in for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I admit that I am scared... You know the nature of killing, killing those monsters is okay, but the weird things that look like humans... I'm really afraid that I won't be able to control myself when I kill them."

"What's the use of you?" Sun Hang looked at Ye Jiu with some contempt, and then said seriously, "How many people have been weirded?"

"The specific data has not been counted yet, but the permanent population of the affected blocks is about 40,000... Those people in the water department are probably finished. I heard that someone called the parliament. But such a big thing, let's not talk about whether those parliamentarians can protect people, even if they can, they dare not come out to protect them!"

Sun Hang looked down at the weirded wandering aimlessly downstairs and sighed.

The reason why Yang Lian and the others were not infected was that Zhong Ling used bottled drinking water specially provided by the logistics department for cooking, and also used this water for drinking.

As for bathing, they use tap water... Damen thinks they don't have strange habits like drinking their own bath water.

"Speaking of which, why are all the residents around infected, but you are fine?" Ye Jiu suddenly asked, "You are originally infected and may not be infected again, but Yang Lian is an ordinary person, how come she is fine?"

"Thanks to Zhong Ling." Sun Hang said, "The girl said that the tap water in Tianfu City is hard, and it will affect the taste of the food when used for cooking, so she has always insisted on using the purified water transported by the logistics department to cook, and the few of us are used to her food and basically don't cook for ourselves..."

"Fuck, this is also possible?" After hearing what Sun Hang said, Ye Jiu couldn't help but widen his eyes, "The strict requirements for food can actually save people's lives... This luck is too amazing, right?"

"Aren't you leaving?" Sun Hang glanced at A glance at the helicopter propeller, "Isn't the institute in a hurry to interrogate this mutant?"

"Let's go, let's go now!" Ye Jiu said, "Aren't you coming up?"

"I have nothing to do in the institute, so why not sit here for a while." Sun Hang shrugged, "By the way, let's see how the Disaster Countermeasures Committee plans to eliminate these tens of thousands of weirdos."

"...Your hobby is a bit heavy." Ye Jiu said speechlessly, "I suggest you go with us... The field department will send people into these affected areas in a while to confirm whether there are survivors... Generally speaking, with this step, the next step is probably an indiscriminate attack, such as missile bombing."

"It's not a big problem, the missile can't kill me." Sun Hang waved his hand.

"That's right, anyway, you are thick-skinned." Ye Jiu said, "Okay, let's withdraw first... If there is any follow-up situation, remember to fire a flare."

Ye Jiu threw a signal gun to Sun Hang, and the helicopter immediately left the building, quickly rose to a high altitude, and flew towards the institute.

Sun Hang casually put the signal gun into the big pocket of his coat and watched the helicopter go away.

He stayed not to witness the "massacre" scene, but because there should be an undiscovered monster in this area.

The attack of the sludge came from the supernatural being who had just been subdued, and the collective weirdness of the residents was because the water source was polluted... Don't forget that there is also abnormal signal interference in this block.

Signal interference has no direct connection with the first two, so it can only come from the ability of a third party.

Standing in front of the broken French window, Sun Hang slowly closed his eyes, and some concrete concepts slowly emerged in his mind.

When he opened his eyes again, a faint black light flashed across the surface of his pupils. In his field of vision, a huge, hemispherical transparent cover appeared in the air, like an inverted bowl, covering the entire block.

Sun Hang blinked again, and the transparent cover disappeared immediately, and his vision returned to normal.

A slight dizziness came from the back of his head.

"It actually consumes so much?" Sun Hang was a little surprised and checked the "blue consumption" - just now he just used the ability of "wish come true" to check the scope of the infected area, but he didn't expect that he would directly use up nearly a quarter of the blue bar!

He didn't consume so many blue bars when he used the ability of "wish come true" to control objects... Is it because the area of ​​this interference area is too large? Or is the weirdo that created the interference area too strong?

The concrete interference area only appeared in Sun Hang's field of vision for less than 0.1 second, but Sun Hang had locked the center of the entire interference area.

It was a large shopping mall located at a crossroads, less than three kilometers away from where Sun Hang was now - when Sun Hang had just become a hunter, he had bought a few sets of daily clothes in this shopping mall.

He clearly remembered that day when he asked Wang Xiyi if he wanted to go shopping for clothes together, but the latter's answer was, "Anyway, clothes are disposable consumables for me. There is no difference between buying branded goods and street stall goods... and, according to me, From my personal experience, the quality of street stall products is not necessarily worse than those of famous brands.”

Sun Hang thought, and with an explosion that broke the sound barrier, a few seconds later, he was already standing at the entrance of the shopping mall.

This shopping mall covers an area of ​​nearly 100,000 square meters. The main building has four floors. The first floor mainly sells cars, shoes, hats, clothing, and electronic products. Since commercial activities in Tianfu City have almost completely stopped, all of these shops are now closed. , there was a thin layer of dust on the exhibition vehicles worth tens of millions, and a big hole was smashed into the window glass of the luxury store nearby, and the mannequins inside fell to the ground in a mess. , yellow and black warning strips have been put up around the glass break, and seals with the Public Security Bureau's seal have been posted on the store doors - this kind of thing is not uncommon in Tianfu City, due to the arrival of eternal night , the social order in Tianfu City has been much more chaotic than before, and the incidence of various thefts and robberies has been much higher. Even though the Tianfu City Management Committee has increased the penalties for crimes committed during special periods, it still does not help.

For ordinary people, the current situation is no different from the coming of the doomsday, and when the doomsday comes, the first thing to collapse is the social order.

Especially for those at the bottom, those things that you cannot afford or touch on ordinary days, now have an opportunity to buy them for zero yuan, will you be excited?

The vast majority of people may be able to keep their moral bottom line...but once the number of people becomes large, there will always be some anthropomorphic creatures among them.

This is called the forest being big, and there are all kinds of birds there.

And human beings have another characteristic, which is to follow the herd - when the first violator appears, the second, third... and the one hundred and first will soon appear.

This is under the premise that the federal government has announced that it will "never abandon Shuzhou"... Once Shuzhou is really abandoned, during the period before its complete fall, the thing that people who cannot evacuate here should be wary of most is not the mysterious thing. Things, but human beings who belong to the same species as themselves.

Sun Hang cut off the chain of the mall door, pushed open the closed electric door, and walked in.

Trash was scattered everywhere inside the mall, including various abandoned promotional materials, advertising signs, and various shopping bags... There was even a patent leather high-heeled shoe lying near Sun Hang's feet.

After the fall of eternal night, this shopping mall briefly resumed business for a period of time. However, with the emergence of Chimera No. 17, Tianfu City once again entered a state of martial law, and the shopping mall that hurriedly resumed business was hastily closed... From now on From the messy scene, you can imagine the chaotic situation when martial law was re-announced.

Sun Hang walked along the dead escalator to the second floor. The second floor is mainly filled with various restaurants, drink shops and the second-dimensional favorite millet shop... But the situation here is not much better than that on the first floor. The trash cans were filled with life-size foam signboards, and stains from spilled drinks and food that had not been cleaned up in time and had solidified could be seen everywhere on the floor.

The small stools used to wait for tables at the entrance of the restaurant were messily blocked in the middle of the passage. Hundreds of cardboard boxes containing food raw materials were piled at the entrance of the public toilet, exuding a smell of spoilage.

Sun Hang wandered into a cafe and was surprised to find that the coffee machine on the counter was still lit.

"Where's the electricity coming from?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment, but before Sun Hang could get closer, a figure suddenly stood up behind the counter and pointed what looked like a homemade crossbow at Sun Hang. .

"Stop!" the man shouted in a low voice, "Put your hands where I can see them, step back, and retreat to the corridor outside."

Except for the few indicator lights on the coffee machine, the cafe was dark. You could only vaguely see the cold light flashing on the tip of the opponent's arrow... But this was for ordinary people. With Sun Hang's vision, He could clearly see that the person holding the crossbow was a beggar-looking young man - he was wearing a brand-name coat that didn't fit well. The backpack behind him and the pockets of his clothes were all stuffed, and a small part of his sleeves was exposed. There are several watches on his amputated arm.

"Thief?" Sun Hang asked.

"I'm not a thief!" the other party immediately retorted, "I'm just a scavenger. Anyway, no one wants these things if they are thrown here. Who can take them? If you want to snatch them from me, believe it or not, I will shoot you to death!" "

"You dare to kill someone?"

"Why don't you dare! The surveillance here is out of power. Even if I kill you, no one will know that it was me who killed you!" The other party said viciously, "Besides, how many people died in Tianfu City after the eternal night fell. It’s not like you’re the only one!”

"Who do you think I am?" Sun Hang smiled and asked.

"I don't care who you are! Get out of here while I don't want to kill you now! Don't let me see you again!" The young man who called himself a "scavenger" said aggressively.

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

"I...of course I killed him!" The other party hesitated, then shouted with a pinched neck, "Just last week, there was a bastard who tried to steal my things, but I shot him to death with an arrow!"

"Oh, so you admit that you killed someone?" Sun Hang laughed, "Then if I tell you that I am a sheriff, can I arrest people directly now? Considering that you turned yourself in, maybe you can give me a lighter sentence."

The young man's expression was obviously a little panicked, but he did not realize that Sun Hang could see the change in his expression in such a dark environment. He shouted fiercely: "You are bullshitting! You can't be a sheriff! The sheriff will not come to such a place! This place has been abandoned for a long time! You are also a scavenger... No, you are a thief, you come here to steal things!"

Sun Hang almost laughed at this guy's "double standard". He waved his hand and said: "You guessed right, I am indeed not a sheriff, but I have some connection with the Sheriff Bureau... How to say it, it is a working cooperation relationship."

"Don't dream, your nonsense can fool children, but it can't scare me at all!" The scavenger saw Sun Hang admitted He admitted that he was not a sheriff, and was obviously relieved. "I'll give you ten seconds. If you don't leave, I'm really going to shoot!"

"I'm not a sheriff, but a hunter." Sun Hang said calmly, "Strange Hunter."

The scavenger was stunned, but after a few seconds, he immediately cursed loudly: "Bullshit!"

"I'm really a hunter. Whether you believe it or not, there is one thing I have to tell you. There is a possibility that a strange thing is lurking inside this shopping mall."

The expression on the scavenger's face changed rapidly. He was silent for several seconds before asking, "Is what you said... true?"

"I don't have to lie to you." Sun Hang said, "It is because there are strange things here that hunters come, right?"

"But you and the hunters I know... are not the same..." The scavenger shook his head, "I still think you are fucking lying to me!"

"Why are they different? What do you think of strange hunters?" Sun Hang asked curiously.

"I don't know about other things, but if a hunter wants to hunt strange things, shouldn't the sheriff come to investigate first, then the people from the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, and finally the hunter? You came here alone, why should I believe you?"

"What about now? Do you still believe it?" Sun Hang raised his hand, and a metal flying blade was suspended in his palm.

As if he was afraid that the other party could not see it, Sun Hang also turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone very considerately. Under the light, the metal flying blade shone coldly, like a living thing.
