Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 216 Devouring
"Make it every day? Noodles with soybean paste?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"If you want to eat other food, I can make it too," Zhong Ling said, "but you have to apply for some fresh ingredients from the material allocation department in advance... The things in your refrigerator are too monotonous."

I have to say, this is a very tempting proposal.

Although Sun Hang is not a foodie, who would want to eat frozen fast food every day if there are fresh and hot meals?
"I suddenly remembered the story of the Snail Girl." Sun Hang glanced at Zhong Ling, whose eyelids drooped slightly. He did not meet Sun Hang's gaze, but silently picked up the noodles with chopsticks, put them into his mouth, and chewed them in small bites.

Her cheeks flushed slightly. Perhaps it was too difficult for her to lift the heavy wok in the kitchen with one hand.

With the Snail Girl taking care of the cooking, Sun Hang took on the task of washing the dishes very consciously... Anyway, he only needed to collect the dishes and chopsticks together, throw them into the dishwasher and press the switch.

"By the way, where's your mother?" Sun Hang glanced at Zhong Ling, who was standing in front of the refrigerator in a daze, and asked something that sounded a bit like a curse, "Is she lying in one of those coffins like the other strange corpses?"

"She's on the roof." Zhong Ling replied.

Sun Hang looked up at the ceiling - although the breath concealing ability of the No. 001 skeleton was not as good as that of No. 005, it still had a strong concealment. At this distance, Sun Hang could not detect any breath belonging to it.

"She wouldn't sneak into my bedroom in the middle of the night and give me a claw, would she?" Sun Hang muttered.

"No." Zhong Ling shook his head.

"That's good." The dishwasher made a slight ding sound, and Sun Hang opened the cabinet door, took out the dishes that had been washed and dried, and put them back on the dish rack.

"Do you like drinking?" Zhong Ling suddenly asked.

"Ah? Why do you ask that?" Sun Hang was slightly startled. "Oh...you mean the wine in the refrigerator? I didn't put it there. It was all Lao Wang's work. She really likes drinking and always asks me to drink with her...but I still prefer carbonated drinks."

"Pharaoh?"

"Wang Xiyi, a registered hunter in Tianfu City, codenamed 'Night Fury'." Sun Hang explained, "He's the guy who smashed Chimera No. 17 to pieces in the video."

"You... live together?" Zhong Ling's facial expression seemed to become a little stiff.

"No, she lives next door, but she often comes to my house to drink when she's free." Sun Hang said, "After all, during that time, there were only two hunters left in Tianfu City, me and her, and no one lived in this villa area."

"Oh." Zhong Ling nodded slightly, his expression slightly softened.

After a while, she took out two cans from the refrigerator, walked up to Sun Hang, and handed him one of them.

"Would you like to drink?" Zhong Ling asked.

Sun Hang took a look and saw that the girl had chosen the sparkling blended wine with the highest alcohol content in the entire refrigerator. He had just drunk a can of this stuff, and if he drank another can his head would probably start to feel dizzy.

Although with Sun Hang's ability, it would only take a thought for him to sober himself up...but no one can guarantee that before he sobers up, he will not take advantage of his drunkenness to do something that he would not do when sober.

You know, my mother is still squatting on the roof...

"This stuff has a high alcohol content. Are you sure you want to drink it?" Sun Hang asked.

"I want to try it." Zhong Ling said in a low voice.

"Then drink it." Sun Hang put the can of wine in his hand on the cutting board.

He didn't say he wanted to drink.

"Aren't you going to drink?"

"No, drinking will delay things." Sun Hang shook his head. "I have important things to do in the next two days."

"But didn't you drink two cans before?" Zhong Ling pointed to the cans in the trash can.

"So I can't drink the third can." Sun Hang pulled out a garbage bag from the side and stuffed it into Zhong Ling's hand.

Zhong Ling looked at him with some confusion.

"If you vomit after drinking, remember to spit it into a bag. The sweeping robot can't handle vomit." Sun Hang said seriously.

"..."

"How can someone who can't drink try a 67-proof liquor right away?" Sun Hang took the wine can from Zhong Ling's hand, walked to the refrigerator and replaced it with a can of low-proof fruit wine for her. "I recommend this for you. It tastes similar to juice, with a slight taste of alcohol. When I drank with Lao Wang before, this was my favorite drink. And the thing you chose is only liked by a senior alcoholic like Lao Wang."

Zhong Ling took another look at the two cans in the trash can, opened the can of fruit wine, and took a sip carefully. Within a few seconds, a strange blush appeared on her face and her eyes began to become a little blurred.

"No way?" Sun Hang looked at Zhong Ling in astonishment.

He thought that this girl might not be able to drink very much, but she shouldn't get drunk easily after just one drink, right?
"It feels like... a little... dizzy." Zhong Ling said softly.

"Luckily you didn't drink 67% alcohol." Sun Hang complained, "You can't even walk, and you're thinking about pole vaulting?"

He snapped his fingers, and Zhong Ling's gradually rising drunkenness instantly disappeared without a trace.

"Is this also your ability?" Zhong Ling naturally noticed something unusual and asked Sun Hang.

"I guess so, but I still suggest you don't drink it." Sun Hang said, "I'll talk to the material allocation department tomorrow and ask them to send some juice and milk over."

Zhong Ling didn't say anything. Just when Sun Hang was about to turn around, she suddenly grabbed the can of sparkling wine on the coffee table, pulled the ring and took a big gulp.

Then she fell straight down.

Fortunately, there was a thick velvet carpet next to the coffee table, otherwise Sun Hang estimated that Zhong Ling would have suffered a concussion after such a fall.

"This saves a lot of trouble."

Sun Hang picked up the drunk Zhong Ling by the waist and threw him onto the bed in the guest bedroom.

He turned around and took two steps out, thought for a moment, then turned back, found a new, unused quilt from the closet, and covered Zhong Ling with it.

When he turned around, he found that the No. 001 ghost skeleton was standing quietly at the door of the guest bedroom, staring at him quietly.

"Uh, please move aside." Sun Hang made a gesture to Gui Hai to move aside.

Gui Hai obediently stepped aside and watched Sun Hang walk out of the guest bedroom and go up the stairs to the second floor.

……

……

the next day.

Sun Hang, who was wearing pajamas, had just walked out of the master bedroom when he smelled the aroma of food coming from the direction of the kitchen.

"It feels like I'm going to have breakfast right after waking up...it seems not bad." Sun Hang muttered quietly and slowly walked to the first floor.

Wearing heat-proof gloves, Zhong Ling brought two plates to the dining table. One plate contained toast, fried bacon and butter pudding, and the other plate contained fragrant fried dumplings wrapped with golden eggs and emerald green onions. The Western and Chinese breakfasts were put together, and the difference was immediately apparent.

"There aren't many things in the refrigerator that can be used, so just make do with it." Zhong Ling took off his heat-insulating gloves and handed a pair of chopsticks and a fork to Sun Hang. "How can I make do with it... it's too Versailles." Sun Hang rubbed his hands and was about to start eating, but the next second he noticed that Zhong Ling's face looked very bad, and he would rub his forehead and temples with his fingers from time to time.

"Hehe." Sun Hang chuckled, "I advised you not to drink, but you refused to listen. The feeling of a hangover must be very uncomfortable, right?"

"I'm fine." Zhong Ling said with a stern face, pulled out a chair and sat down, rolling up a piece of bacon with a fork.

"The dumplings are good." Sun Hang picked up a dumpling with a western-style fork and put it into his mouth, chewing it and saying, "This should be the leftover frozen dumplings... I didn't expect it to be so delicious when fried."

"You shouldn't use a fork to eat dumplings," Zhong Ling reminded.

"Is there any difference?" Sun Hang glanced at the fork in his hand, "It's fine as long as it's convenient."

"Quickly frozen dumplings don't have any soup in them, so there's no difference," Zhong Ling said seriously. "But authentic fried dumplings should have meat jelly made from broth and lard in the filling. When they're fried, the jelly will turn into soup, and if you poke the dumpling skin with a fork, the soup inside will leak out."

"Master, you are right." Sun Hang sincerely clasped his fists to Zhong Ling and said, "I am rude."

Sun Hang quickly finished eating all the dozen fried dumplings on the plate. Just as he was about to get a glass of water, his cell phone suddenly rang.

The call was from Yang Qi, and the first thing she said after she answered the phone was, "Sun Hang, the preparations have been completed, and the time is set at 2:00 p.m. today."

"So soon?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment, "I thought it would take two more days."

"I know you're in a hurry, so I worked overtime with my colleagues last night." Yang Qi's tone revealed a trace of fatigue. "If you don't have any problems, the club will send a car to pick you up later."

"I'm fine, but you won't be in trouble, right?" Sun Hang asked, "Be careful not to die suddenly..."

"It's not a big deal. When I was working on my graduation project, it was common for me to stay up all night." Yang Qi said, "By the way, is Zhong Ling at your place?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Take her with you later." Yang Qi said, "If you fail, we will immediately switch to plan B."

"Is plan B to transform Lao Wang into a strange weapon?" Sun Hang asked.

"Well, but if plan B doesn't work, there is plan C..." Yang Qi stopped talking halfway.

"Harmless disposal?"

"……Um."

"Okay, I understand." Sun Hang replied, "Anything else?"

"No more." Yang Qi suddenly said, "By the way, Sun Hang..."

"what?"

“If something can’t be done, don’t force it.”

"As far as I can remember, you seem to have said this to me many times."

"But you never listen..." Yang Qi's tone was filled with annoyance and resentment, "This time, please don't mess around."

"Okay, okay." Sun Hang agreed readily, "I will definitely not do anything rash."

"Really?" Yang Qi still didn't quite believe it.

"real!"

……

……

At 1:55 p.m., 160 kilometers west of Tianfu City, at Test Site No. 0.

The huge ravine created by the movement of Longyanlei has been filled up, and hundreds of modular buildings have formed a circle with a radius of two kilometers. In the middle of the circle, there is an inverted bowl-shaped glass cover.

Sun Hang, wearing heavy protective clothing, stood inside the glass cover. Yang Qi, Zhu Long, Zhong Ling and a group of staff from the institute stood outside the glass cover, watching everything inside the cover with serious expressions.

There is also a huge "coffin" inside the glass cover along with Sun Hang.

Countless pipes and cables connect this huge coffin, covering the ground inside the glass cover and extending to the outside of the cover.

"The pressure of valves one to six is ​​normal." The operator's voice came through the glass cover. "The pressure inside the containment container is decreasing. It is expected to be the same outside in 25 seconds."

"Liquid nitrogen is being extracted. Please pay attention to changes in the target's infection process."

"The extraction pump is operating normally, the pressure coefficient is dropping normally, and the target state remains stable."

"Liquid nitrogen extraction completed. The target's infection process has begun to accelerate, but it is still within the expected value."

"Prepare to disassemble the containment container. Three, two, one."

More than a dozen robotic arms surrounding the "coffin" moved in an orderly manner, dismantling the huge "coffin" piece by piece - this "coffin" was actually an external container for transporting the permafrost coffin, used to replace the liquid nitrogen pool in the underground containment facility during the transportation process.

The liquid nitrogen in the coffin has been completely extracted, and the appearance of the permafrost coffin has gradually emerged.

Sun Hang walked over slowly and stood in front of the eternally frozen coffin.

"The infection process is accelerating again, please hurry!"

"The eternal frozen coffin will be opened in five seconds." Yang Qi's voice sounded in Sun Hang's headphones, "Sun Hang, get ready!"

"Yeah." Sun Hang nodded and gave a thumbs up to the people outside the glass cover.

"Crack!" A burst of white smoke spurted out from the gap of the Eternal Frozen Coffin. The next second, the lid of the Eternal Frozen Coffin was shattered into pieces, completely exposing Wang Xiyi who was lying inside.

"The target's body temperature is rising rapidly! The infection process has greatly accelerated! It is approaching the dangerous threshold!"

"Quick! Start absorbing immediately!"

"Sun Hang!"

The protective suit worn by Sun Hang was specially made - it was not completely enclosed, but had small closable holes all over the body. Dozens of pale hyphae poked out from these small holes and pierced into Wang Xiyi's body.

The devouring ability was activated... Sun Hang only felt a hot, violent energy flowing into his body along the hyphae. The next second, the blood in his body seemed to boil.

He felt as if his body was on fire.

Wang Xiyi's body also began to change dramatically - a pair of hard black dragon horns broke through the skin and emerged from her forehead, the extended coccyx protruded from behind her, bright red flesh began to seep out between the white joints, and in the blink of an eye, a strong and powerful tail took shape, and black scales with a metallic luster wrapped all the way to the end of the tail.

She has fewer and fewer human characteristics and more and more dragon characteristics.
