Trickster Hunter

Chapter 296 Arrival

Before he finished speaking, the staff member just now shouted at the top of his lungs again: "The stress response of Chimera No. 17 was observed again! The impact point was in the D15 area, the same as last time... No, it's different, this There is a deviation of about 2.9 degrees!”

"Does this mean that the hunter successfully evaded the energy flow strike of the first stress response?" The military representative's eyes lit up, "Didn't you say that the energy flow strike of Chimera No. 17 cannot be evaded? "

"When the energy flow is observed, it is already too late to dodge. The speed of this thing is the same as that of a laser." Ye Xuan said, "However, the energy flow emitted by Chimera No. 17 obviously has a short-term accumulation process. It cannot achieve immediate launch or continuous launch... In other words, from the perspective of Chimera 17, it needs to predict the target to a certain extent in order to ensure the energy flow hits. "

"Then as long as we can predict its prediction, can we avoid the energy flow?" A field operator with the Tianshu Tower emblem Velcro on his arm thought, "But in the final analysis... it is still a matter of luck. It accounts for the vast majority, right?”

"For us, it does depend on luck." Ye Xuan shook her head, "But for Sun Hang, it doesn't necessarily depend on luck."

While several people were talking, Observation Post No. 7 detected a third stress reaction!

"Three times!" The military representative clenched his fist tightly, "You are right, he definitely did not rely on luck!"

"Don't be too optimistic, maybe Sun Hang is dead now." Ye Xuan said expressionlessly.

She always thinks about the worst possible outcome.

"As long as Chimera No. 17's stress response does not stop, it means that he is still alive." The field operator from Tianshu Tower said, "He must have mastered some kind of pattern or trick... …”

But these words were like putting a flag to Sun Hang, who was dozens of kilometers away. After three stress reactions, Chimera No. 17 fell into silence, and there was no movement for five or six minutes. .

"He...he missed?" The field operator from Tianshu Tower opened his mouth, and then swallowed with some difficulty.

"It cannot be ruled out that there is something wrong with Chimera No. 17." Ye Xuan said, "There have never been multiple stress reactions in a row before... Although we are not sure yet what Chimera No. 17 used to emit energy flow. What is the structure of the organ, but if the energy flow of this intensity is fired three times in a row, even if it does not explode, it should be overheated. "

Although she is used to thinking about the worst development of things, when the worst situation is about to appear, she can find the best development route from a bunch of terrible branches.

This is what Ye Xuan has been taught since childhood - always treat the situation as a desperate situation. At the same time, never give up hope in desperate situations.

"Any news from the other teams?" the military representative asked, changing the subject.

"The Ninth Team was confirmed to be completely wiped out. The Fifth Team chose to withdraw from the operation after losing two people. The Sixth Team and the Seventh Team launched distress flares, but their positions were too deep and our people could not enter. The Fourth Team Two distress signal flares were also launched...but..." the Tianshu Tower field operator supported the table with his hands and stared at the screen.

"But what?" the military representative asked.

"The two distress flares of the fourth team seriously deviated from the original route, and the second distress flare even appeared on the planned route of the first team."

"So, could it be that the first team caused the target's stress reaction because they merged with the fourth team?"

"It is absolutely impossible that only Sun Hang is left in the first team, and there is a margin between the number of people in each team and the upper limit of the stress response. Even if the fourth team remains at full strength, Sun Hang will Being programmed into it, it has not yet reached the threshold that would trigger a stress response. "The field operator explained to the military representative quickly, "Besides, even if the two teams merged, according to the battle plan designated before departure, they would have already dispersed at the position of two kilometers. The size of a group of two or three is closer to Chimera Seventeen.”

"The... fourth strong energy reaction!" The technician sitting on the other side suddenly stood up, and even the folding chair under his butt was knocked over by him, " It’s still the same direction! But the actual landing point of the energy flow is in area D9, five hundred meters away from Chimera No. 17!”

"Is it Sun Hang?" Yang Qi's voice intervened - as the maker and commander of the combat plan, Yang Qi had to sit at the general headquarters of the Tianfu City Monster Research Institute. What Ye Xuan and others had just discussed She wanted to speak several times, but for some reason, she just listened quietly on the other side of the screen and said nothing.

"It can only be him..." Ye Xuan took a deep breath, then bent down to help up the knocked over chair.

"Can you find a way to send drones in?" the military representative asked, "We can send a hundred, no, a thousand drones in, as long as there is one drone that can capture the footage Just spread it out!”

"All the 650 drones stored in Observation Post No. 7 have taken off." Ye Xuan said, "The rest can only be replenished by the headquarters."

"The proposal I just made has been approved." Yang Qi said across the screen. "The Garuda combat platform will be moved three kilometers behind observation post No. 7 to serve as a landing platform for drones in the air. Garuda's hangar There are 4,500 military drones, and I will transfer the command authority of all these drones to the frontline headquarters later.”

"Okay. Also, I have a suggestion." Ye Xuan said suddenly.

"What advice?"

"Chimera No. 17 is currently also having an emergency response to a single target. It is obvious that a certain degree of mutation occurred during this period. Except for Sun Hang, I think that once other hunters are hit by energy flow, the survival rate is almost Zero." Ye Xuan said.

"You mean... are you going to ask all the other hunters to withdraw? Let Sun Hang complete the mission alone?" Yang Qi frowned slightly.

"No, what I mean is, send another group of hunters, and also, let all these 4,500 drones carry mice infected with the strange meme... Chimera No. 17 is used to emit energy The flowing organs will overheat. If we invest a large number of false targets at once, as long as we can deceive one energy flow blow, we can relieve a lot of pressure on the hunters who are actually performing the task of collecting meme samples. "

Ye Xuan paused and continued: "If we can deceive three consecutive strikes, we can create a relatively safe 'window period' of seven to eight minutes for the hunters."

"It makes sense, I'll let them do it immediately!" Yang Qi nodded immediately.

"What if Chimera No. 17 is not fooled?" the military representative couldn't help but ask.

"Then replace all the mice on the drones with humans." Ye Xuan said in a cold tone, "There are no false targets, all targets are real targets. As long as the energy flow emitting organ will overheat, we can use humans to Naval tactics, piled at the feet of Chimera No. 17."

Hearing what Ye Xuan said, the military representative couldn't help but shudder: "If we do this...how many casualties will it cost?"

"What is the maximum casualty the federal government can accept?" Ye Xuan glanced at him and asked.

"I...I may need to call the military and parliament to ask..." the military representative hesitated.

"You go ahead and fight." Ye Xuan said expressionlessly, "While this plan has not yet been implemented... I don't want to delay the fight due to communication problems."

The military representative took out his communication terminal and turned around.

Ten seconds later, he put the communication terminal back into his pocket, reached out to wipe a few beads of sweat from his forehead, and said to Ye Xuan: "As mentioned above, as long as the memes of Chimera No. 17 can be collected, Samples...are acceptable no matter how high the cost.”

"Very good." Ye Xuan nodded and turned to look at the screen, "Yang Qi, let the assembly factory speed up the progress. I need at least a thousand sets of sample collection equipment - as long as someone can bring one of the equipment Once we reach the feet of Chimera No. 17, this operation will be half successful."

"The factory hasn't stopped since the combat plan was proposed. There are currently more than 70 sets of collection equipment in stock. I have already had people transport them to Garuda...According to the current production progress, within two hours , I can complete another fifty sets.”

"One hundred and twenty sets... Tsk, that's a bit less." Ye Xuan sighed, "It's a pity that we were pressed for time and didn't have time to test the overheating threshold of the energy flow launcher tube... If I had known that shooting three times would require seven to eight minutes of cooling. I adopted the human wave tactic from the beginning.”

In the face of the deadly energy flow that is equal to the speed of light, there is not much difference between the monster hunters and ordinary soldiers... As for the independent monsters wandering around Chimera No. 17, their existence is almost negligible in the face of human sea tactics. Not counted.

…

…

Area D7, 300 meters away from Chimera No. 17.

The closer you get, the more you can appreciate the shocking feeling of the giant thing.

An eighteen-meter-tall mecha standing statue is enough to make people look up at it, while a four-hundred-meter-tall giant cocoon will make people feel weak in their legs even just walking by it.

In contrast, human beings feel so insignificant. It seems that as long as the giant cocoon is slightly tilted, it can crush the person standing next to the giant cocoon into a pulp like an ant.

"This thing shouldn't fall down, right?" Sun Hang muttered softly.

The hoverbike was swept away by the aftermath of the third energy flow strike and was immediately declared reimbursed. Fortunately, the memetic sample collection equipment, which was almost as big as the hoverbike, was not damaged, and was only wrapped in waterproof material. The cloth was just torn apart.

But now it doesn’t matter whether you have a tarp or not.

Centered on the giant cocoon of Chimera No. 17, within a radius of 300 meters, is a "dry area" that has not been affected by heavy rains.

Just like the eye of the storm is always the calmest area in the storm, three hundred meters away from the giant cocoon, the heavy rain seems to be separated by an invisible barrier - one side of the barrier is pouring down of rain and flowing swamps, while on the other side of the barrier is dry air and solid ground.

The rubber soles of combat boots made a tooth-gripping sound when they stepped on the ground that had been transformed by nuclear explosions and vitrification. Amidst such friction sounds, Sun Hang walked step by step towards the giant cocoon.

Perhaps because they were afraid that they would be affected if they were too close, Chimera No. 17 had not fired energy streams at Sun Hang since he rushed into the "dry zone", nor had any other "stress reactions".

"Now he is quite honest." Sun Hang walked all the way to a place less than 50 meters away from the bottom of the giant cocoon and put down the equipment on his shoulder.

He looked up and saw that the outer wall of the arc-shaped giant cocoon was emitting milky white fluorescence - for laymen, they might think that the texture of this thing is like some kind of top-grade jade, or the original stone of the priceless "Night Pearl"... But anyone who has a little knowledge of mineralogy and materials science knows that any stone that can glow by itself is most likely a very dangerous thing.

The Geiger counter hanging on Sun Hang's waist sounded like playing Flight of the Bumblebee. The beeps were so dense that they became a long sound. In desperation, Sun Hang could only crush the thing to pieces. Both the Tai Sui meme and the Black Dragon meme were immune to radiation. The reason why he brought this thing was just to record data... However, the radiation intensity in this place had long exceeded the reading limit of the dial. This device had completely lost its meaning except that it was annoying.

Sun Hang walked to the giant cocoon, and after a brief hesitation, he pressed his palm on the surface of the giant cocoon.

"Bang. Bang. Bang."

He could feel a heartbeat like thunder coming from the inside of the giant cocoon. With each beat, its power would become stronger... Although the increase was very small, so small that it was difficult to detect, as long as this process continued, the quantitative change would sooner or later lead to qualitative change.

"I don't know what is hatching inside..."

Sun Hang returned to the collection equipment and assembled the entire set of equipment according to the order in the manual.

Sun Hang always felt that what he was installing was not a set of equipment for collecting meme samples, but a pile driver that is very common on construction sites.

A huge mechanical arm is connected to the disc base fixed on the ground, and at the end of the mechanical arm is a hammer that is thicker than Sun Hang's thigh and more than two meters long.

This hammer looks ordinary, but in fact it incorporates a lot of technology from weird things... It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a man-made "artifact-type weird thing".

The "power source" that drives this hammer comes from another weird thing.
