Trickster Hunter

Chapter 365 Underground Commercial Street

The scavenger suddenly let out an exclamation, and with a flick of his finger, the crossbow arrow stuck on the string flew towards Sun Hang.

Sun Hang stretched out his hand and directly picked off the flying crossbow arrow - this crossbow arrow was actually just a sharpened disposable chopstick. The front end was wrapped with an iron sheet cut from a can, and the end was Tie two feathers on the badminton with tape.

Although the lethality of this kind of homemade arrow cannot be compared with that of a serious arrow, if it hits a vital part like the throat, it is enough to kill someone - not to mention, this scavenger's hand The homemade hand crossbow inside used several hard rubber bands as strings. At this distance, the crossbow arrow was strong enough to penetrate a solid board one centimeter thick... a properly controlled weapon.

"I... I didn't mean it!" Seeing the crossbow arrow shot out and caught directly in Sun Hang's hand, the scavenger panicked instantly, "I... my hands were really shaking just now. ! I didn’t want to kill you! Really!”

He hesitated for a moment, then threw away the crossbow and knelt on the ground, trembling.

"You made a death threat to me before, so this shouldn't be regarded as manslaughter... Why should it be sentenced to attempted murder?" Sun Hang thought, "According to the laws of Tianfu City, although attempted murder will not be punished The death penalty, but a sentence of three to ten years should be fine... By the way, do you know how many years the maximum sentence can be for attempted murder? "

"I...I don't know..." The other person's voice was almost crying.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I am a monster hunter, not an ordinary civilian, so I can also think that you are a member of a cult organization or a rebel. Then it should not be the turn of ordinary courts to try you... …”

"Please...please..."

"But... I don't plan to hand you over to anyone..." Sun Hang looked at the other party playfully.

"Really?" The scavenger suddenly raised his head, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

"As a monster hunter, if you encounter a cultist who believes in monsters, you can just kill them on the spot. Why go to all the trouble?"

The light in the scavenger's eyes instantly went out.

The next second, he stood up suddenly, pushed the chairs that were upside down on the table towards Sun Hang, and then ran away through the door!

However, before he even ran to the door, he felt something wrapped around his ankle, pulling him back hard, and then he fell heavily to the ground!

"Ouch!!"

Sun Hang bent down, grabbed the other person's greasy and dirty long hair, and dragged him directly to the corridor outside.

This scavenger looked fat. In fact, he only looked bloated because he was wearing ill-fitting clothes and stuffed with things in his clothes. After most of the things were scattered, Sun Hang noticed this scavenger. The person's body was very thin, and his wrist was as thin as a hemp rod.

"Oh, she's still a woman?" Sun Hang glanced at the other party's throat, "How do you say that... How can a beautiful woman like you be a thief?"

Perhaps to protect herself, the scavenger's face was painted black with cigarette ash, and her voice was neutral. For a moment, Sun Hang thought she was a little boy in the stage of changing her voice, until he discovered that she was Only after there was no Adam's apple did he realize that the scavenger was actually a girl.

However, Sun Hang didn't feel any pity because of his gender. He stepped directly on the scavenger's back and trampled her to the ground. More than a dozen mycelium quickly hid it in her belt and boots. He removed all kinds of weapons such as blades and iron sticks, and then Sun Hang tore open the coat wrapped around the other party and shook out all the various small tools and "stolen items" hidden inside.

"Hiss... so expensive?" Sun Hang noticed that the price tag on the stolen coat was not torn off. He was shocked when he saw it. The style and materials of such a coat looked ordinary. The woolen coat is actually priced at 110,000, which is enough to buy a pretty good car.

Sun Hang, who had just torn apart a car, threw the car wreckage into pieces and said to the scavenger who was shivering under his feet whether because of fear or the cold: "These clothes belong to you."

"Don't...don't kill me..."

"Give me a reason." Sun Hang held a metal flying blade between his fingers and leaned down.

"You...you are here to look for the weird thing, right?" The scavenger trembled and said, "I...I may know where the weird thing is..."

"lie."

"I didn't lie!"

"If you knew there were strange things here, would you still come here to steal things? Then you can run as far as you can?" Sun Hang said disdainfully.

"I...I just thought something was wrong about that place before, and I didn't think about the weird things..." the scavenger said cautiously, "Besides, among the nearby blocks, only here has the most things left...in order to survive. ,I had to……"

Sun Hang took back his foot that was stepping on her and lifted her up from the ground: "Continue talking."

"There was a rumor here before... saying that several people were missing... well, they were all scavengers like me... scavengers... thieves..." the other party muttered, "some people also said that there are strange things here. But...but none of those rumors have been confirmed, and no one knows whether those missing people really exist. After all, those who spread the rumors can't even name them..."

"Rumors? What rumors?" Sun Hang asked, "Do you have accomplices?"

"No! Not accomplices, just people who live together..." The scavenger shrank his neck, "They are just like me, they all... rely on this to survive..."

"Where do you say the wrong place is?"

"Underground...the underground part of the mall." The scavenger answered immediately.

"What's wrong?"

"Several times I heard strange sounds coming from underground...but I don't know what the sound is...it sounds like some kind of gas flowing in the pipe, and it sounds like swallowing something..." The scavenger said, "So I never go to the underground part, and I never even come close to the entrance to the underground passage."

"Then have any other scavengers gone underground and come out alive?" Sun Hang asked again.

"I... I don't know." The scavenger shook his head, then nodded hesitantly, "It seems that someone claimed to have been underground, but that person likes to brag, so I don't believe him..."

"What did he say?"

"He... He said that the streets on the underground floor were full of blood, as if many people had been killed, but there was no body to be seen. He didn't dare to go deep, he just took some things and ran away." The scavenger replied, "No one on our side believed him..."

"Since you don't believe it, why don't you go to the underground of the mall to take a look?"

"I don't believe it, but I don't want to take risks. Besides, there are still a lot of things above the ground..." The scavenger whispered.

"Come with me." Sun Hang tied the other's hands with mycelium, and then walked straight towards the escalator.

"Where... where to?"

"To the underground." Sun Hang said.

The scavenger shuddered, she seemed a little reluctant to stay where she was for half a second, but then she followed Sun Hang's ass.

"Why do you do this?" Sun Hang suddenly asked.

"Ah?"

"I mean, why did you come here to steal things? Where are your family members?"

"They all died... in... in that earthquake." The scavenger whispered.

"Earthquake?" Sun Hang was stunned. Could it be that this person, like Ling Xiao, was also a victim of the Longyanlei incident?

"Did you live in the west of the city before?" Sun Hang confirmed with her.

"Yes..."

"If I remember correctly, there should be several refugee shelters built in the west of the city. Did you run away from there?"

"Well..." The scavenger nodded again.

"Why?"

"The shelter camp... a tent has to squeeze more than a dozen people, and they often don't have enough food... There are also people who bully people and steal things... I am often beaten there, and there are some old men... They want to rape... rape me..."

"You won't report to the camp management? Don't they care?" Sun Hang said in surprise.

He had never learned about the specific conditions of these refugee camps. From Yang Qi, he could only know the number of deaths caused by the disaster and the number of refugees accommodated in the refugee camps. As for the life of these refugees in the refugee camps, Yang Qi never mentioned it.

Sun Hang had only been to a few refugee camps when he was recruiting soldiers and field operators, but that was not long after the refugee camps were established. Moreover, after learning that people from above were coming, the managers of the refugee camps would definitely take good care of the camps... at least the surface work would definitely be done.

Now, with the passage of time and the continuation of the city's martial law, the shortage of materials has become increasingly severe. The quality of life in many refugee camps has plummeted in just half a month. In addition, there is a serious shortage of manpower, and all human and material resources are tilted towards the insecticide plan for Chimera No. 17. These refugee camps are even less valued.

As long as no one dies, the people above will rarely ask about the refugee camps.

After all, if Chimera No. 17 can't be solved, not to mention the refugee camp, the entire Tianfu City will be doomed.

"I reported it... but the management staff likes to smooth things over... there are too many such things, and they can't handle them at all." The scavenger said, "People who report will definitely be retaliated afterwards... the more you report, the more fiercely they will retaliate... in the end, no one dares to report."

"And then you escaped from the refugee camp?"

The scavenger nodded.

"Where do you and your 'colleagues' usually live?"

"Some unfinished construction sites or unfinished buildings in the suburbs..."

"Do their experiences all look like yours?"

"Some do, and some don't." The scavenger said, "The one who said he had been to the basement of the mall, he was from another place to work in Tianfu City, and he rented a house before... But then Yongye came, he lost his job and couldn't pay the rent, so he was kicked out by the landlord..."

"In other words, you really do this to make a living?" Sun Hang glanced at her, "But I'm a little curious, you are short of clothes and food, then just pick up some clothes and food to take back, what's the point of you getting these luxury goods, electronic products, jewelry, etc.? These things can't be eaten or worn."

"Some people will specialize in buying these things, and valuable things can be exchanged with them for food and a place to live." The scavenger replied.

"Tsk..." Sun Hang glanced at the green Submariner on the scavenger's wrist. The strap still had a price tag of 159,999 on it. "Here, how much food can you get for your watch?"

"This one? This one is in good condition, with no scratches or bumps. It can at least be exchanged for four or five boxes of instant noodles, and half a box of ham sausage!"

"Four or five boxes of instant noodles..." Sun Hang curled his lips. Although the premium of luxury goods is exaggerated, a genuine green Submariner with an original price of 160,000 yuan can be exchanged for four or five boxes of instant noodles... This business is really black-hearted...

If it were in the end of the world, the green Submariner would be worthless except for being able to tell time, but the current "end of the world" is only limited to the territory of Shuzhou. These guys who buy luxury goods from scavengers can still make a lot of money as long as they can find a way to transport these things to other cities.

This is almost a business with no capital and huge profits... Even most of the risks are borne by these young scavengers.

"This kind of good thing, even I am a little tempted." Sun Hang complained.

"What?"

"Nothing." Sun Hang stopped at the door of a clothing store on the first floor, then walked in and took out a down jacket of the smallest size and threw it to the scavenger whose lips were already frozen purple.

"Put it on, don't freeze to death halfway."

"Thank... Thank you..."

Sun Hang untied the mycelium restraints, and the other party hurriedly put on the down jacket, then raised his two almost frozen palms to his mouth, and kept breathing.

The two soon came to the entrance to the underground of the mall. Sun Hang glanced at the dark elevator shaft, then looked at the scavenger following behind him, turned around and chose to take the stairs of the fire escape.

The underground floor of the mall is a commercial street. The main business is still various delicacies. There are also some commercial entertainment projects, such as billiard rooms, script killings, board game stores, etc. The first store out of the stairs is a large-scale escape room experience hall. The ghost face relief at the door of the store looks quite realistic at first glance.

Sun Hang didn't feel anything, but the scavenger following behind him was obviously startled.

The two continued to walk forward, and soon, Sun Hang saw the "bloodstains everywhere" described by the scavenger who had been to the underground - this was a section of road about 30 meters long, and there were traces of dark brown liquid on the tiles of the street. From a distance, it really looked like bloodstains splashed on it.

Sun Hang walked closer, squatted down and poked the "bloodstains" on the ground with his fingers.

These "bloodstains" were not completely dry yet, and they felt a little sticky.

He looked up and saw the sign of a beverage store on the street.

"It's not bloodstains." Sun Hang said.

"Ah? Then... what are these things?"

"It should be syrup or some kind of beverage puree." Sun Hang put his finger in his mouth... As expected, a sweet taste spread in his mouth.
