Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 436 - 63: Kui Ox

The people in lab coats first scanned Sun Hang all over with an instrument that looked like a temperature gun, making him lock all his equipment, including the "Godslaying Spear," in a safe box.

Next, they took out several protective suits from cabinets welded to the walls, which made one look like a Michelin Man once worn. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Do I really have to wear this?" Sun Hang asked. "I always feel like I can’t move my limbs in this thing."

"Please rest assured, this protective suit is made from the latest materials. It weighs only four kilograms in total, and the joint movement range fully meets the needs of human physical activity. Moreover, auxiliary motors are installed in the internal structure, so you can also regard it as a super lightweight power exoskeleton," one of the leading people in lab coats said to Sun Hang.

"What I mean is, I’ve never worn such a thing, not used to it," Sun Hang frowned.

"Please do your best to cooperate with our work. The protective suit not only ensures the safety of the personnel entering the containment zone but also prevents the contamination of the dangerous entities within it by foreign substances... I hope you can understand," the person in the lab coat said with a troubled expression.

"Alright." Sun Hang eventually turned into a Michelin Man too—not just him, but also those in lab coats who were to accompany him into the containment zone wore the same protective suit.

The group filed onto the lift platform.

"Identity verification code validated, mission clearance code authenticated, confirmed as the highest clearance level," the AI’s voice announced from the lift platform’s central control speaker, "Heading to Containment Zone 1."

The lift platform began to accelerate, soon surpassing the other platforms rising and falling on surrounding tracks, swiftly descending into the earth’s depths.

"Taking advantage of this interval, let me reintroduce myself to you." The leader in a lab coat seated opposite Sun Hang said respectfully, "I am the head of the containment zone at Dubhe Tower, Yuri Alekseyevich Ivanov. You can call me Yuri."

"Yuri?" Sun Hang was slightly taken aback and asked instinctively, "Do you know mind control?"

Yuri was also taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized Sun Hang was joking, and he smiled and said, "Now, among the ethnic Russian citizens living in the Xiazhou Federation, there are probably hundreds of thousands, if not more, who are named Yuri... If everyone with this name had such an ability, we’d probably have reclaimed our lost homeland long ago."

"But as far as I know, several kinds of dangerous entities indeed possess mind control abilities," Yuri continued, "and all of them are extremely dangerous."

"Are there such dangerous entities in the containment zone of Dubhe Tower?" Sun Hang asked with interest.

"I’m sorry, no." Yuri shook his head, "Dangerous entities with mind control abilities are extremely hazardous. Even if we can successfully contain them, they might use their abilities to control and manipulate the personnel in the containment zone, breaking free of containment."

"Really none at all?" Sun Hang squinted his eyes, "I don’t believe it."

"Well, there is one kind, actually," Yuri sighed, "Serial number D65 ’Pure Black Iris,’ but its mind control ability requires pollen as a medium—if humans or animals accidentally inhale its pollen, it will quickly decompose and invade the inhaler’s nervous system, completely altering their brain structure and nervous system within two to four weeks, turning them into puppets for the ’Pure Black Iris’ to command. However, its control ability is significantly weakened or even ineffective on other dangerous entities or infected individuals."

"How do you contain it?" Sun Hang asked.

"The ’Pure Black Iris’ is contained in a one-meter cube sealed lead box, with nutrients supplied through a one-way conduit every three weeks, all done entirely by machine. The containment room, including the nutrient preparation room and the pump room, is strictly off-limits to any biological entry... If you wish to choose the ’Pure Black Iris’ as a devouring target, you’ll have to wait for its flowering period to end before we can let you..."

"Not interested," Sun Hang waved his hand, "I just asked casually... Abilities that are only effective on ordinary people are of no use to me... What, am I supposed to control Mr. Pei and use him to secretly control the entire Dubhe Tower?"

Listening to Sun Hang’s "extremely dangerous" remarks, Yuri couldn’t help lifting his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, only to realize after his wrist hit the bucket-like helmet that he was wearing a full set of protective gear...

Technically, the internal temperature control systems in these protective suits should keep the temperature at a comfortable level for the human body, yet Yuri still felt sweat trickling down his brow arch...

Suka... Does this guy know what he just said? Even with the highest clearance granted by Mr. Pei, there should be limits to joking...

Yuri coughed twice awkwardly and somewhat rigidly shifted the topic: "So, Mr. Sun Hang, may I ask what type of dangerous entity you plan to devour this time? The kinds and quantities of dangerous entities in the containment zone are extremely abundant, and if you can describe your requirements in detail, it might save a lot of unnecessary time..."
