Trickster Hunter

Chapter 335 The Blocked Building

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he immediately switched to the hilt of the sword and smashed it towards the glass with greater force.

"Bang!" The sound of the collision was dull - Ling Xiao was confident that the force of his blow could even smash the standard polycarbonate anti-riot shield of the Public Security Bureau, but there was not even a single crack on this ordinary tempered glass window. None showed up.

This is definitely not normal!

However, there was no extra time for Ling Xiao to make more attempts. The monster had already rushed out of the room and rushed towards Ling Xiao in a crooked but extremely fast posture!

Ling Xiao's room is located at the end of the corridor, more than fifty meters away from the elevator and stairs. If he turns around and runs away, Ling Xiao won't even be able to run halfway if there are no obstacles to block the movement of the monster. Being caught up by a monster... not to mention that in this state of pursuit and escape, your back is completely exposed to the monster. Once you are caught up, you may not even have a chance to fight back.

And in a head-to-head confrontation... he couldn't even run away. Ling Xiao didn't think he could kill this monster with just the strength of himself and Chi Radi.

In this brief moment, countless coping strategies flashed through Ling Xiao's mind, and finally a big word "drag" appeared in his mind.

This is the experimental base of Tianshu Tower's superpower management department. There are a group of powerful superpowers stationed in the base for a long time, as well as a large number of fully armed guards and various light and heavy weapons... As long as you do it yourself If you make enough noise and delay it long enough, someone will always notice what is happening here.

By that time, whether it is superpowers, monster hunters, or cutting-edge weapons of modern technology, they will be able to deal with this monster that only has melee capabilities.

The moment Ling Xiao made up his mind, the strange creature had already rushed forward, and its sharp claws dug directly into Ling Xiao's heart!

Ling Xiao bent his knees slightly, kicked his feet hard, and jumped into a backflip - after being strengthened by the radius, his jump was more than three meters high from the ground, and even the ceiling of the corridor was within reach.

Ling Xiao quickly adjusted his posture in mid-air. He twisted his body and touched the ceiling with the hand that was not holding the sword. His whole body immediately moved sideways with the force - despite the severe pain caused by the severe friction between the wound on his palm and the ceiling. It was heartbreaking, but it was better than being penetrated by those sharp claws.

Ling Xiao managed to escape the pursuit of the monster, and stepped on the side wall of the corridor three times in a row. In just half a second, he completed a large-scale maneuver of nearly 270 degrees in the air at a height of three meters. , and then landed steadily on the side and rear of the strange thing.

The cold flames wrapped around the Chiru Sword instantly grew to more than three meters in length. Using the inertia of its fall, it slashed down with the sword, immediately chopping off the right arm of the monster!

Ling Xiao gasped for breath... The series of operations just now were too extreme even for the strengthened body. Ling Xiao could clearly feel that the strengthening effect brought by the radius and radius was gradually fading away, and he felt a sense of fatigue. The pain in joints and muscles all over the body is constantly rising due to the tearing pain caused by ultra-extreme exercise.

"Where's the alarm? Why is there no alarm?" Ling Xiao was very confused.

There are surveillance equipment everywhere in the corridor. In addition to the common smoke detectors and surveillance cameras, there are also many special surveillance instruments that are only available in the Monster Research Institute... Not only are monsters appearing in this corridor, but there are also With such a fierce battle taking place, it stands to reason that the sirens should have sounded throughout the building by this time.

But at this moment, Building 3 was eerily quiet.

Ling Xiao could only hear his own heavy breathing and the beating of his heart beating wildly in his chest.

"This is not normal...it's not just the strange thing in front of you...there is something wrong with this building, the building itself." Ling Xiao immediately made a judgment, "The glass windows cannot be smashed, and the external sounds are completely isolated. , and all the equipment that stopped working... Could it be an environmental monster? This building was transformed into an environmental monster by that person who calls himself God!"

Ling Xiao was still thinking about why the alarm didn't sound, while the injured monster on the other side slowly bent down and picked up his broken arm that had fallen to the ground.

The cuts on the shoulders and broken arms were frozen into hard lumps of ice by the cold flames. This virus-like cold was still invading deeper into the strange thing along the body tissues... If you were hit by this knife If it were an ordinary person, he would have been frozen into a zombie.

"Grrr...hahahaha...cough...hiss..." A burst of unexplained hissing sounds came out of the strange creature's dark throat, and then, the fractured part of its right shoulder expanded like a balloon.

Ling Xiao suddenly had a bad premonition. He quickly ran back, held up the severely deformed door panel on the ground, and used it as a shield in front of him.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the huge blood bubble exploded, and the smelly liquid splashed everywhere!

Naturally, a lot of liquid splashed onto the door panel. Ling Xiao only heard bursts of "squeaking" sounds. When he poked his head out to look, there were many pits of different sizes and depths corroded on the door panel.

Not only the door panels, but also the ceiling, walls, and floors near the strange thing were not spared - only the window that was very close at hand remained unscathed even though it was spattered with highly corrosive blood.

Dozens of sticky tentacles stretched out from the burst blood bubbles, and they wrapped around the severed arm. Then many sharp "teeth" grew out of the front ends of these tentacles, and these teeth cut through the frozen The stiff flesh helped the tentacles penetrate into the inside of the severed arm...

A few seconds later, the severed right arm was reattached to the monster's body - but between the right arm and the monster's shoulder, there was a large number of tentacles used to connect... At first glance, it seemed , just like the exposed hydraulic muscle bundles commonly seen on engineering mechas.

The most direct result is that the "length" of the monster's right arm has not only been extended by half a meter, but also has the ability to attack in all directions without blind spots... No matter which direction Ling Xiao attacks from, this right arm can go around it. On top of Ling Xiao's head, a claw crushed his skull.

However, the first person to enjoy this treatment was not Ling Xiao.

"What's going on? It's so noisy outside that you can't sleep?!" A man's voice came from the room on the side of the corridor, followed by a series of curses, "What the hell, why is there a power outage? ? What a waste of time it is to make fools of yourself, why did I fool you into coming here? Could it be..."

The door was opened from the inside, and with a glimmer of light, Ling Xiao saw that he was a young man wearing plaid pajamas. He had large and small copper rings on his lips, eyebrows, and nose, and there were large rings on his neck. A large area of ​​tattoos, and a head of colorfully dyed hair piled messily on top of his head.

He is like a common street artist in trendy neighborhoods - well, at best he is an artist, at worst he is just a little gangster who can do rap or graffiti, open his mouth, fuck, shut up.

It's not that Ling Xiao has any prejudice against this kind of people, it's just that this is the first impression this young man gave him.

The street artist who opened the door looked at the two people standing in the corridor - to be precise, one person and one strange - the expression on his face first changed from irritability to dullness, and then from dullness to horror.

"Fuck!!"

The young man immediately crossed his arms in front of him, and a shield made of thin ice appeared in front of him...

But in the next second, the monster's claws shattered the ice shield and pierced the street artist's chest.

Those who can live in this building are either people with superpowers or people who work in the management department for superpowers. Obviously, this young man belongs to the former... and there is a high probability that he, like Ling Xiao, is also discovering his own abilities. Afterwards, prepare to come here to be tested.

Unfortunately, his ice shield is a bit... fragile.

The superpower is indeed a superpower, but the thin layer of ice he condensed... is really just a thin layer of ice.

An ordinary person can pierce it with just a poke of his finger, let alone the sharp claws of a strange creature.

The street artist who lost his heart fell straight down, his eyes wide open, and he could not rest in peace.

His heart fell into the palm of the strange thing and was still beating on its own.

The monster tilted its head, one of its two eyes was staring at Ling Xiao, and the other was staring at the heart in its hand... The next second, it stuffed the hot heart into its open throat.

"Ah——" A piercing scream came from the street artist's room, and Ling Xiao realized that there was another person in the room, and she was a woman.

"Don't make a sound!" Ling Xiao shouted immediately, but it was already too late.

The strange thing rushed into the room instantly, and half a second later, the screams stopped abruptly.

The world became quiet again.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and threw the door panel aside.

The monster had just struck so fast that he didn't even see clearly how the "street artist"'s chest was penetrated, and the heart was already in its hands.

For the pair of sharp claws, the defensive power of the heavy door panel and the thin ice shield will not make much difference. Keeping this thing will only slow down its speed.

Ling Xiao placed Leng Yan's extinguished ruler in front of him, and placed his other hand lightly on the blade, letting the blade absorb the blood seeping from the wound.

The wound was already somewhat scabbed, and the blood was oozing out neither too quickly nor too slowly—the depth of Ling Xiao's original cut was almost half of the palm of his hand. If it hadn't strengthened his body and also strengthened his self-healing ability, this would have been impossible. By then, he might have gone into shock due to excessive blood loss.

But even so, a chill still rose from the ends of its limbs and climbed up its spine and onto its neck.

Chiru will not be polite at all when sucking up the blood of qualified people, especially the sword that just cut off the monster's arm, which almost made Ling Xiao faint... With an attack like this, Ling Xiao estimates that he has the most It can be released twice. As for after two times, even if you are not killed by the monster, you will probably be sucked to death by the ruler.

Cutting off the limbs cannot stop the monster's movement, so the vital parts must be attacked... Even if it cannot be killed, the vital parts should not recover as quickly as the arms...

But, why hasn't anyone come yet?

The brightness of the sword whose cold flame had just been extended to three meters has also increased a lot. As long as one of the people gathered on the playground outside looked in this direction, they would definitely be able to see the flames in the radius through the window...

But why don't they come in?

Is it because they...can't get in? !

Ling Xiao suddenly thought of the glass window that could not be broken...

Could it be that this building has become a space isolated from the outside world? People inside can’t get out, and people outside can’t get in?

Just when Ling Xiao was thinking this, the strange creature had already walked out of the room dragging a half-broken female corpse - its "modified" right arm had almost fallen to the ground, and its sharp claws were embedded in a head covered with long hair and blood. Only the part above the pelvis of the female corpse was left, and the rotten intestines were dragged on the ground. The air was full of the strong smell of blood and filth.

Ling Xiao heard the sound of the door lock turning on the door closest to him, and he hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "It's dangerous outside! Don't come out!"

Leading the people living on this floor out to help him attract the firepower of the strange creature... Although this method sounds a bit unethical, it is indeed the best way to delay time...

But after Ling Xiao found that the building had been blocked, the tactic of delaying time had lost all its meaning.

Unless he can drag the people outside to break the blockade... But by that time, there will probably be few living people left in the whole building.

"Is it... a strange creature?" A trembling voice came through the door, and it could be vaguely heard that it was a young girl.

"It's a ghost." Ling Xiao said, "Don't come out, find a place in the room and hide."

"You...you...who are you? Are you a ghost hunter? Or a superpower?" the girl asked again.

Ling Xiao did not answer her question.

Or rather, Ling Xiao did not have time to answer her question.

The ghost threw away the remains in his hand and instantly accelerated towards Ling Xiao.

The room where the girl was was Room 607, next to Ling Xiao's Room 608. The space in the corridor could not allow Ling Xiao to dodge this attack. He could only retreat back to his room without a door again.

Just when he thought the ghost would chase him in, the other party suddenly stopped and turned around to pierce the door of Room 607 with its claws!

In the sound of metal being torn, there was a muffled sound of flesh being pierced - obviously, the girl living in Room 607 did not listen to Ling Xiao's words to find a place to hide, but kept sticking to the door panel, eavesdropping on the movement in the corridor.

She should have noticed something unusual a long time ago - after all, as a "neighbor", she couldn't have failed to hear the fighting and screaming in Ling Xiao's room.

Her best option was to pick up the phone and call the police, and in fact, she did so.

Unfortunately, the rescuers promised by the base security department on the other end of the phone did not appear in front of her until her consciousness fell into the dying state.
