Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

"Bang!"

A dull stamping sound echoed at the bottom of the dark, silent pit.

"it hurts."

In the darkness, Kainosuke's weak voice sounded.

As he finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound next to him, and a beam of light lit up. The strong light shone on his face, making his eyes sting, and he closed his eyes uncomfortably.

"It's really deep in here. Fortunately, the Ziyanji Mist Soldiers have measured the depth of the cave before."

Mo Laowu's voice sounded, and Jie Zhisuke opened his eyes and looked around, only to see that the other party was holding a strong flashlight in his hand, shining the surroundings.

Mo Laowu looked around and found that the depth of the cave was about a hundred meters, and they were now standing at the first turning at the bottom of the cave. The cave was sloping downward, almost vertical.

Mo Laowu shined his flashlight ahead, and a large hole with a diameter of at least ten meters stood in front of them.

"The hole was made as if it were made with a drill."

Mo Laowu looked at the big hole in front of him. This hole was made as if it were drilled out by humans with a drill.

"Are you praising those monsters?"

Ji Zhisuke stood up and patted the black mud on his trouser legs, then looked at Mo Laowu.

"This is a complaint, a complaint."

Mo Laowu grinned and looked up.

"Bang!"

A figure in a white robe descended from the sky and stepped heavily on the ground at the bottom of the pit, leaving two deep footprints.

"Peng Pengpeng..."

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by dull stamping sounds, figures jumped into the bottom of the pit.

All sixteen people went down to the cave.

"Do you smell anything?"

Nitro looked down at Kainosuke and asked him if he smelled the mimicry.

"You can smell it very clearly." Kainosuke nodded slightly and took the lead to step forward, "I'll lead the way."

Kainosuke came to the entrance of the downward-sloping cave, turned his body sideways, inserted his left hand into the wet soil, and moved downward slowly step by step.

"Wait a moment."

When Mo Laowu saw that he had entered the sloping hole with a black eye, he quickly followed him and jumped.

"Shashasha..."

Mo Laowu held the ground with one hand, and his leather shoes slid out of two shallow ditches on the sloping wet ground. When he slid next to Kai Zhisuke, he clasped his fingers deeply into the ground, allowing himself to be on Kai Zhisuke's side. Stop next to me.

"Don't be careless in a place like this. It's so dark that you can't see anything. Be careful of being attacked by a sneak attack."

Mo Laowu held the flashlight in his right hand, shining it forward, warning him.

"It doesn't matter, I can see clearly."

Kainosuke shook his head slightly, saying that he could see the road in the dark.

"Can you see the road in the dark?" Mo Laowu sounded a little surprised.

“Not just the road, I can clearly see and feel everything around me.”

"Whether it's plants, animals, or terrain." Kainosuke explained while slowly sliding downwards at an angle: "After I was infected, I have been fleeing in the mountains."

"In the beginning I was always traveling during the day and resting at night."

"Occasionally use the moonlight to travel."

"But as time went on, I found that my vision at night was getting better and my perceptions were getting sharper."

The Phantom Troupe, Nitro, and Norbu slid slowly behind them, listening quietly while also spreading their attention around to avoid being attacked by the mimicry.

"Hohoho... Is this a genetic mutation?"

Nitro chuckled jokingly, jumped forward slightly as he spoke, waited for Kainosuke and Mo Laowu to catch up, and then jumped forward slightly.

There is no vigilance, as if he is here for fun, and he is not in the same style as others.

"This old man..."

Wojin gritted his teeth. It was difficult for him to move on this nearly vertical slope. He could only slide forward, but the old man could jump and walk. This skill was really no joke.

"It's not impossible." Nobu was very serious and frowned slightly. "The information about mimicry says that it can devour and replace it. But in fact, in this process, the changes in the human body are unpredictable."

“Whatever change happens, it’s possible.”

"And the data on mimicry is not very comprehensive. The existing data are all provided by Umbrella." Nobu followed Nitro with his hands in his pockets and analyzed, "Obviously, the infected people are being infected Neither Umbrella nor Ozma have such data on the process of change."

"Perhaps for ethical reasons, neither party conducted human experiments."

"That's it..." In the crowd, the knight muttered in confusion: "But I have seen unethical experiments in many movies and books."

"Tell me, is Umbrella hiding something?"

"Such as human experiments."

"They have already done it, they just didn't show it to us."

The knight followed leisurely with his head in his hands, raising his suspicions.

"rustle……"

No one answered in the cave, only the sound of footsteps sliding against the soil.

Pegrose, Headquarters Base.

Early in the morning, about 05:30.

"Buzzing..."

The sky was slightly bright, and a Night Crow aircraft slowly landed on the public platform outside the base under the guidance of the central control system AI.

"Click~"

The rear hatch opened. First, four soldiers in power armor slowly walked out of the hatch, and behind them, a large storage box with four wheels drove out automatically.

On the platform, three logistics staff in blue uniforms immediately gathered around. They had been waiting for a long time.

"Bang! Bang!"

As they approached, loud noises suddenly sounded from inside the large holding box, and the holding box trembled faintly. Judging from the movement, there must be a beast imprisoned inside.

The logistics staff didn't care. They used tablet computers to communicate with the large storage box, then gave the order to move forward, and took the contents of the large storage box to the elevator.

"Didi...didi..."

The logistics staff entered a string of passwords in the elevator, and along with the sound of the elevator starting, they headed to underground 34F.

"Click~"

The elevator reached 34F, the door opened, and three personnel in blue uniforms walked towards the quiet area of ​​​​34F with a large storage box.

After a long time, they stopped in front of a gate, looked up at the top of the gate, and a beam of light swept across their eyes.

"Ding~!"

The iris scan passed, and with a "ding" sound, the door slowly opened, revealing a passage hundreds of meters long in front of the three people.

The passage is 3.2m high and 2.2m wide. There are dense but regular small gaps on the wall, which exudes a faint blue cold light.

There are strict security measures in this passage. Except for employees and researchers working on this floor, only those with authority levels above A-34 can pass through.

Of course, the three logistics personnel standing in front of the passage obviously did not reach this level, but they could only enter it with the permission of the person in charge of the A-34F.

"Let's go."

The leader of the logistics staff turned around and nodded gently to the two colleagues, and then the three of them walked into the door with the large storage box and walked along the passage.

"Da da da……"

After a while, the three people came to the security door at the end of the passage. The leader of the logistics staff stretched out his palm and pressed it on the palm print reader on the security door. At the same time, he moved his face to the screen above the palm print reader for facial recognition. and iris scanning.

"Click."

Finally, after a series of safety identifications, the safety door at the end of the passage finally opened.

Three logistics personnel walked into it with a large storage box.
