Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 516 - 105: Scavenger

Ye Jiu: "???"

Sun Hang and Yang Lian have cleared out quite a few infected ones, but compared to the number of residents in this neighborhood, what they’ve cleared is just a drop in the ocean—Ye Jiu wasn’t wrong, the scene below now is exactly like a zombie movie.

"What’s wrong? Scared?"

"No... what I mean is..." Ye Jiu struggled for a while, finally gritting his teeth and saying, "Alright, I admit, I am scared... You know the nature of killing, it’s fine to kill those monsters, but those things that look like people... I’m really afraid I’d lose control."

"Then what’s the point of you?" Sun Hang looked at Ye Jiu with some disdain, then seriously asked, "How many people have been infected?"

"The exact numbers haven’t been compiled yet, but in the affected neighborhoods, the total number of permanent residents is around forty thousand... The folks from the water department are probably done for, heard some even called up the parliament. But with an issue this big, let’s not even discuss if those lawmakers can save anyone, even if they could, they wouldn’t dare to!"

Sun Hang looked down at the infected ones wandering aimlessly below, and let out a long sigh.

The reason Yang Lian and the others weren’t infected is that Zhong Ling always used bottled drinking water provided by the logistics department for cooking, and they drank this water too.

As for bathing, well, that used tap water... They probably don’t have the strange habit of drinking their own bath water.

"Speaking of, why are all the surrounding residents infected but you guys are fine?" Ye Jiu suddenly asked, "You might not get reinfected since you’re originally an infected one, but Yang Lian is an ordinary person, how come she’s unscathed?"

"Thanks to Zhong Ling." Sun Hang said, "That girl said the tap water in Tianfu City is too hard, which would affect the taste when used for cooking, so she always insisted on using purified water from the logistics department, and since we’ve gotten used to her cooking, we seldom cook ourselves..."

"What the heck, is that even possible?" Hearing Sun Hang’s words, Ye Jiu couldn’t help but widen his eyes, "Such a picky demand for food can actually save someone’s life... What insane luck!"

"By the way, aren’t you leaving?" Sun Hang glanced at the helicopter rotor blade, "Isn’t the institute in a rush to interrogate the psychic ability holder?"

"Leaving, right now!" Ye Jiu said, "Aren’t you coming?"

"I have nothing to do at the institute, so I might as well sit here for a while." Sun Hang shrugged, "Might as well see what strategy the Disaster Response Committee plans to use to eliminate these tens of thousands of infected ones."

"... Your taste is somewhat heavy." Ye Jiu said speechlessly, "I suggest you leave with us... The Field Operations Department will soon send people into these affected areas to check for survivors... Generally speaking, once this step is underway, the next might be indiscriminate strikes, like missile bombings."

"No big deal, missiles can’t kill me." Sun Hang waved his hand.

"True, you have thick skin." Ye Jiu said, "Alright then, we’ll retreat first... If anything happens, remember to fire a signal flare."

Ye Jiu tossed a flare gun to Sun Hang, and the helicopter immediately departed from the building, rapidly ascending into the sky, flying towards the direction of the institute.

Sun Hang casually stuffed the flare gun into the large pocket of his coat, watching as the helicopter gradually disappeared into the distance. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

He stayed not really to witness the "massacre," but because within this area, there’s probably still an undiscovered anomaly.

The mud attack came from the recently subdued psychic ability holder, while the collective infection of residents was due to water contamination... But remember, there’s also abnormal signal interference in this neighborhood.

The signal interference isn’t directly connected to the other two, so it can only be from the third party’s ability.

Standing in front of the broken floor-to-ceiling window, Sun Hang slowly closed his eyes, and some concrete concepts started to float in his mind.

When he opened his eyes again, a faint black light flashed across the surface of his pupils, and in his vision, a huge, transparent, hemispherical dome appeared hovering in mid-air, like an overturned bowl encompassing the entire neighborhood.

Sun Hang blinked again, and the transparent dome immediately disappeared, returning his vision to normal.

A slight dizziness immediately emanated from the back of his head.

"Consumes this much?" Sun Hang was somewhat surprised as he checked his "mana consumption"—he had merely used his "wish fulfillment" ability to inspect the infection area, but was shocked to find that it had used nearly a quarter of his mana!

Using wish fulfillment to manipulate objects never consumed this much mana... Is it because the interference area’s size is too large? Or is the entity creating the interference too strong?

The concrete interference area appeared in Sun Hang’s vision for less than a tenth of a second, but Sun Hang had already pinpointed the center of the entire interference zone.

It’s located at a large shopping mall at a crossroads, less than three kilometers from Sun Hang’s current location—a place where Sun Hang had bought several sets of everyday clothes when he first became a Hunter.

He clearly remembered asking Wang Xiyi if she wanted to join him to buy clothes that day, but her reply was "Clothing, for me, is just a disposable commodity; brand items and market goods make no difference... Plus, from my personal experience, market goods’ quality might not necessarily be worse than those brand names."
