Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 485 - 89: Escalation_2

"The Hunter is out of control." The sergeant said in a very low voice, "An out-of-control Hunter becomes very strong... very strong."

As if to confirm the sergeant’s words, the black-robed Hunter suddenly let out a shriek similar to that of a raptor, and a pair of wings, much longer than his height, ripped through his black robe and spread out behind him!

His wristband immediately sounded with a rapid alarm!

"Damn it! His wristband is ringing!" The lieutenant’s eyes widened instantly—being the captain of the patrol convoy, he naturally received the necessary training for operations with a Mysterious Creature Hunter before setting off. He was all too aware of what an alarm on the wristband meant.

"Quick! Quickly inject him with sedatives and infection suppressants!" The lieutenant remembered the content of the training manual and shouted immediately.

But the soldiers behind him looked at each other, and no one dared to rush forward.

Facing a Hunter in a rage and on the brink of losing control, rushing up to forcefully inject him with sedatives at this time was almost tantamount to suicide.

"Damn it!" The lieutenant couldn’t help but curse, shouting, "Where is the medicine box? Who’s got the medicine box? Give it to me, I’ll inject him!"

"It’s... in the car." A soldier answered somewhat timidly.

The lieutenant was just about to run towards the car, but the sergeant’s strong hand grabbed his arm effortlessly... Even though the lieutenant was wearing a power exoskeleton, he was forcibly pulled back by the sergeant’s flesh and blood.

"You fool, do you have a death wish?!" The sergeant cursed. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"It’s my duty! According to standard procedure, it’s necessary to inject him with sedatives and infection suppressants now; otherwise, once his infection process breaks through the dangerous threshold, it will be too late for anything!!" The lieutenant said anxiously.

"Even if you get the medicine now, do you think you can damn well stick the needle into that Hunter?" The sergeant cursed again, "Who do you think you are? Superman?"

"Then what do you think I should do? I can’t just stand here and watch, can I?!" The lieutenant replied.

"We can only rely on that girl called Puppet Master... we can’t do much to help right now!" The sergeant looked at Zhong Ling, "Wait until her magical puppet controls this Hunter, then you’ll have a chance to give him those damn sedatives and suppressants!"

"Beep beep beep... beep beep beep... Warning! Warning! Your infection process is increasing significantly, approaching the critical point!" The Hunter’s wristband alarm continued, "Please cease all actions immediately, inject infection suppressants and proceed to the nearest Hunter management department or Mysterious Creature Research Institute outpost! Warning! Warning..."

"Damn, it’s so noisy!" With one paw already severed, the black-robed Hunter could only use his teeth to tear off the Hunter wristband from his other intact wrist. Then he bit it hard, instantly shattering the perpetually beeping wristband into pieces!

"Open fire." The sergeant said calmly.

Voluntarily destroying the Hunter’s wristband; such behavior equated to rebellion.

Several outpost soldiers were still in a daze when the sergeant had already removed the safety of his pistol, aiming at the black-robed Hunter’s head, and repeatedly squeezed the trigger!

The pair of wings behind the black-robed Hunter immediately folded forward, shielding in front like a shield. The bullets hit the surface of the wings, splattering large sparks and emitting crisp metallic clanging sounds.

"Metalized feathers?" The sergeant was slightly taken aback, "Heavy machine gun! Use armor-piercing rounds!"

The soldier responsible for the heavy machine gun behind the barricade immediately pulled the trigger—this heavy machine gun was equipped with an optical scope and could be considered a fully automatic anti-material sniper rifle. At this distance, there was no chance of missing!

The 12.7-mm caliber armor-piercing rounds shot out of the barrel, hitting the steel-like wings densely—this attack finally had some effect: the feathers quickly became shattered, falling off the wings one after another.

"Looking for death!"

The black-robed Hunter growled lowly, his wings vibrating fiercely, several metal wings shot out like darts—two wings directly cut through the heavy machine gun’s barrel and breech, while several others sliced into the flesh of the gunner and several nearby soldiers!

The gunner clutched his throat, bleeding profusely, and fell back with eyes wide open. The condition of the other soldiers wasn’t optimistic either—some had an entire arm cut off, some had their entire chest cavity sliced open with internal organs exposed... the most severe was a soldier whose entire head was slashed into two halves, mixing red and white, covering his neck and shoulders.

"Damn it, you dare kill my men!!" The sergeant’s eyes reddened instantly, he turned and rushed towards the off-road vehicle equipped with an anti-aircraft gun, but he had only taken one step when a metal wing swiftly and cleanly sliced off his right ankle, causing him to lose balance and fall heavily to the ground!

The lieutenant immediately bent down, picked up the sergeant, and quickly dove behind the barricade, shouting loudly, "Everyone find cover! Take shelter! Take shelter!!"

On Zhong Ling’s side, she was actually the most targeted by the black-robed Hunter—but the metal wings shooting towards her were all blocked by the massive magical puppet, not a single one harmed her.

Puppet Number One had already rushed out, its scalpel-like ten fingers slashing from a tricky angle... but the moment it was about to attack the black-robed Hunter, the black-robed Hunter flapped his wings, leaping seven or eight meters into the air.

"I know your tricks..." The black-robed Hunter’s voice had become indistinct, as if clogged with rotten meat inside the throat, "As long as I’m in the air... gurgle... your puppet... gurgle... can’t do anything to me..."

Zhong Ling gently bit her lip, looking at the black-robed Hunter hovering in mid-air with a slight frown.

The opponent was right, of the magical puppets she brought, none had flying capabilities or long-range attack abilities.

Zhong Ling initially brought along these puppets to complement the abilities of this black-robed Hunter, but as they became enemies, this choice put her in a very passive position.

"Don’t worry... gurgle... I will slowly... kill all these... insects..." the black-robed Hunter said, "And finally... enjoy... torturing you..."

Tianfu City, Mysterious Creature Research Institute.

"Pesticide Project" Coordination Office.

The three of them, waiting for their instant noodles to be ready, were suddenly disturbed by a rapid alarm sound. Song Yarong, almost reflexively, grabbed the phone on the table and asked loudly, "What happened? Why is the alarm sounding?!"

"At Post 307! Patrol Convoy Twenty-Six is in trouble! The Hunter ’Falcon’ accompanying the convoy has surpassed the critical infection threshold!! He’s completely turned into a mysterious entity! There are already casualties at the post! Emergency support needed!" The person on the other end of the phone spoke rapidly.

"Patrol Convoy Twenty-Six?! Is that the convoy where the Puppet Master is?"

"Yes! According to the convoy leader’s report, the Puppet Master is engaged with Falcon! But they seem to be at a disadvantage!"

"Sun..." Song Yarong raised her head, about to say something to Sun Hang, but found that in the blink of an eye, Sun Hang, who was just beside her, had vanished without a trace, even the cup of still uncooked instant noodles he had on the table disappeared along with him.

"Where did he go?" Song Yarong turned to look at Shinkata Misaki sitting on the side.

"He ran out holding that cup of noodles, very fast." Shinkata Misaki responded truthfully.

Song Yarong glanced at the doorway, seeing the heavy double wooden doors of the office still gently swaying.

"Inform Patrol Convoy Twenty-Six." Song Yarong picked up the phone again, "Reinforcements are on their way!"
