Trickster Hunter

Chapter 193 Stitched Strange Things

Tianfu City, Xingcheng Garden, Building 13.

This residential building has a total of 26 floors, and if the rooftop is included, it is 27 floors. The two girls tightly grasped their weapons and watched the numbers on the display screen in the elevator gradually jump up.

Eighteen, nineteen, twenty...

Just when the number was about to jump to twenty-one, the elevator car suddenly shook violently and stopped.

Then, the lights and the display screen went out at the same time.

"The elevator stopped!" Yang Lian immediately took out his mobile phone. The light from the mobile phone screen reflected the cheeks of the two people, looking extremely pale.

"It should be that the power supply line of the building has been cut off." Ye Xuan said in a low voice, "Don't worry, there is a backup power supply inside the elevator. After detecting the power failure, the elevator will be restarted within ten seconds and take us to the nearest floor. Then we will go up the fire stairs."

"Yeah." Yang Lian nodded.

But at this moment, a rustling sound came from the bottom of the car, as if something was climbing up quickly along the steel cable.

The two of them held their breath.

Yang Lian glanced at Ye Xuan and asked in a very low voice: "What should we do?"

Ye Xuan put her finger on her lips, made a "don't make a sound" gesture, then moved back a step, pressed against the inner wall of the car, and motioned Yang Lian to do the same.

Yang Lian stepped on the semi-solidified plasma and retreated to the corner of the car. The next second, a sharp thorn pierced the bottom of the car.

Yang Lian's body suddenly tensed up, and the thumb of his right hand holding the gun gently flicked and opened the safety of the pistol.

But the thorn quickly retracted, leaving only a dark hole the size of a fist.

"Don't move yet, that thing is still underneath." Ye Xuan said to Yang Lian in lip language.

"I know." Yang Lian also replied in lip language.

"Puff."

The spike poked a hole in the bottom of the car again. The car welded with alloy plates was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of this spike.

The puncture point this time was less than five centimeters away from the big toe of Yang Lian's right foot. Yang Lian subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath, but immediately bit her lips hard, fearing that the strange creature under the car would hear her breathing.

Her ten toes curled up and clasped the ground tightly. One hand covered her mouth and nose, and the other hand pressed her chest tightly. The cold sweat oozing from her back had soaked the whole nightgown, and even the lining of the down jacket was wet, tightly attached to her back.

"Puff."

The strange creature seemed to be unable to determine the position of the two people. It poked back and forth at the bottom of the car like a lottery. Soon, there were more than a dozen holes under the car, and the half-fallen body in the car was also poked to pieces.

Both Yang Lian and Ye Xuan stood on tiptoe and put all their weight on the wall of the elevator car, in order to reduce the probability of being stabbed by the spikes as much as possible.

Finally, with a slight "ding" sound, the dark elevator car was lit up again, the motor resumed working, and the steel cable pulled the elevator car to continue to rise.

"After leveling, I will count three, two, one, and rush out immediately, don't hesitate." Ye Xuan stared at Yang Lian and said in lip language.

Yang Lian, sweating all over his head, nodded slightly.

The number on the display jumped to "21", the safety warning light came on, and the elevator door slowly opened to both sides.

"Three, two, one!"

The two girls rushed out of the elevator at the same time - fortunately, both of them were of those thin types, if they were replaced by two burly men, they might have collided with each other at this time.

At the moment when the two fell to the ground, accompanied by a sound that made people's teeth ache, the bottom of the car that had been stabbed into a sieve was torn apart, and a head poked out from the crack.

This is a female head - or rather, a head that barely retains some female features... Its appearance is extremely strange, with extremely bloated cheeks, as if it had been stung by a group of wasps, and its facial features were squeezed and deformed. A messy and dirty hair was scattered behind the head, covered with blood and dust.

"What kind of weird thing is this?!" Yang Lian raised her gun and shot, but perhaps because she was too nervous, or perhaps because of the nature of her job, she rarely touched firearms... At such a close distance, she fired three consecutive empty shots, and all the bullets hit the inner wall of the car, sparks flew, but did not cause any substantial damage to the weird thing.

"I don't know, I've never seen it!" Ye Xuan answered while holding up the PDW and firing at the interior of the elevator. As a girl who grew up in the military system, her shooting skills were much more accurate than Yang Lian's. Most of the rounds hit the head that stuck out, and the head that was already horrible to look at suddenly became a bloody mess.

"Run!" Ye Xuan threw away the empty magazine and ran towards the fire escape without looking back.

She saw clearly that neither the conventional bullets nor the "Lihuo" bullets developed by Tianshu Tower could penetrate the head - after the bullet hit the target, it was wrapped by a pile of crazy proliferating flesh and blood... This weird thing looked badly beaten, but in fact, those changes were completely the opponent's self-defense mechanism.

Yang Lian also followed her and ran to the stairs. At the same time, she threw the gun in her hand, which had no bullets left. It must be said that her shooting skills were very poor, but her throwing accuracy was surprisingly good. The grip of the pistol hit the down button of the elevator five meters away!

Suddenly, the elevator door closed, and the remaining power of the backup power supply lowered the car, and at the same time, it also pressed down the strange creature hanging at the bottom of the car.

The two barefoot girls ran all the way along the fire escape stairs. They didn't dare to slow down their pace at all. There was a constant banging sound in the elevator shaft. The strange creature had obviously broken through the obstacle of the car and was chasing them frantically along the elevator shaft.

"We encountered the target! The target is now in the elevator shaft of elevator No. 1! And moving towards the rooftop at high speed!" Ye Xuan shouted into the headset while running, "We need support! We need air support!"

"Falcon One and Falcon Two are rushing to your location and are expected to arrive in two minutes!" The headquarters immediately replied, "Ground troops have also entered the community. In addition, snipers set up on the rooftops of buildings 6 and 11 are already in place! You must hold on! As long as we can lead the monster to the rooftop, we can snipe it!!"

"One more thing!" Ye Xuan continued to report, "'Lihuo' is useless against the monster. Don't expect to kill it with conventional ammunition. Let the snipers switch to heavy warheads and use the kinetic energy attached to the warheads to contain the target!"

"Received!"

Ye Xuan looked up at the sign hanging in the corridor. In a blink of an eye, they had run to the 26th floor. They only needed the last 20 steps to reach the rooftop!

At this moment, the wall on one side of the corridor shattered, just like a heavy truck crashing into a huge wafer biscuit. A huge monster fell heavily behind the two people, and they finally saw the whole picture of the strange "white shadow".

This is an out-and-out "stitched monster" - its upper body is a very swollen human female body, and below the waist is the body of a giant spider. If the eight hairy limbs are fully extended, the length is estimated to be more than ten meters.

The spider's abdomen bulged high, and a faint white fluorescence emanated through the almost transparent carapace. Below the abdominal cavity, an organ suspected to be a cloaca was opening and closing rhythmically like a mouth.

Further back, there was a giant tail shaped like a scorpion, and the sharp point that pierced the car body grew at the end of this tail.

The stitched monster didn't hesitate at all. After knocking open the wall, it rushed towards the two people quickly. The space in the corridor was extremely small, and the two people had almost no way to avoid it. At this critical moment, the door of Room 2601 was suddenly knocked open from the inside, and a bloody figure rushed out from the room.

"Go!" The man shouted to the two girls with all his strength, and then jumped towards the stitched monster!

"Puff!"

The moment he jumped down the stairs, the monster's tail had pierced his body and pulled him close.

The brave field operator lowered his head, and a smug smile solidified on his blood-stained face.

He loosened his hands, and two grenades with safety pins pulled out fell from his hands to the ground, rolling under the belly of the stitched monster.

"Boom!!!"

A huge explosion sounded, and the air wave directly pushed Ye Xuan and Yang Lian to knock open the safety door to the rooftop.

Yang Lian fell heavily to the ground, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She patted her dizzy head hard, and then climbed up with some difficulty.

Blood flowed out of Yang Lian's ears, and the "buzzing" sound of bees kept echoing in her mind. Apart from that, she could no longer hear any sound.

The whole world seemed to be shaking violently. The lights on the tower in the distance were like the light sticks in the hands of fans at a concert, pulled into long, blurred neon lights and shadows.

Yang Lian couldn't take a few steps and lost her balance again and fell to the ground.

Not far away, Ye Xuan held a water pipe beside her and staggered forward - the field operator threw two powerful defensive missiles. Although most of the shock waves and fragments were blocked by the body of the stitched monster, there was still a fish that slipped through the net and flew past Ye Xuan's calf, cutting a deep cut on her calf that could be seen to the bone.

At first, she didn't feel anything, but when she recovered from the impact of the explosion, the intense pain surged up, almost making her black out.

Blood was pouring out, and Ye Xuan could clearly feel the heat flowing down her legs, but she didn't dare to stop at all, and she moved forward bit by bit while enduring the severe pain.

She was also deafened by the explosion in the corridor. She couldn't hear anything, but she could still feel the vibration of the ground - the stitched monster was not killed by the explosion, and it didn't even matter whether it was injured or not. It was madly hitting the corridor and destroying the walls that hindered its movement... It wouldn't be long before it would tear open the narrow passage leading to the rooftop and rush to her.

The instinct for survival prompted the secretion of a large amount of adrenaline. Ye Xuan seemed to feel that the wound on her leg was not so painful anymore. She turned back reluctantly and saw the monster smashing the side wall at the exit and drilling out from the inside of the corridor.

An extremely strong airflow passed by Ye Xuan, and a heavy sniper bullet accurately hit the huge spider abdomen of the stitched monster, making it retreat several steps.

This shot was fired with a 25mm caliber anti-tank weapon. The special sniper bullet with a bullet weight of 1,200 grams can even overturn a ten-ton light armored off-road vehicle, but it only made it retreat a few steps when it hit the monster.

"Hey... here... this is Ye Xuan..." Ye Xuan pressed her headphones. She couldn't hear what the command center on the other end of the headphones was saying, so she could only say to herself, "Let the sniper... aim at the part where the monster's humanoid torso and spider body are connected... continue to use heavy bullets... maybe... cut it off in half..."

A basin-sized dent appeared at the part where the monster was hit by the heavy bullet. In the center of the dent, the heavy bullet, like a tungsten steel rod, sank deeply into it, but even so, the shot still failed to penetrate the monster's body.

Another strong airflow passed through, but this time, the stitched monster jumped up in advance... Its heavy and huge body was unexpectedly flexible, and it jumped several meters high in the air. The shot went directly under its body and failed to hit the target!

"Sniper position No. 4 reports... The sniper trajectory was predicted by the target! In addition... Ah!"

A scream sounded in the communication channel, which made everyone gathered in the temporary command center of the institute feel nervous!

The stitched monster has appeared on the rooftop, so what attacked the sniper position No. 4 on the other building?

"Sniper position No. 4! Please report your situation immediately! Sniper position No. 4? Sniper position No. 4?!"

There was no reply on the other end of the communication channel.

"Sniper position number three, you are closest to sniper position number four, what happened to him?!"

"Report from sniper position number three... I only saw a sniper rifle on the edge of the rooftop, the sniper and observer on sniper position number four have disappeared, the guardrail on the edge of the rooftop blocks my view, I can't observe more! Wait... wait a minute, there is——"

The communication stopped abruptly again!
