There was a dull sound, but it was the sound of a flying needle piercing the flesh and then the corpse falling to the ground.

The five corpses that were slowly getting up next to Shi Yinghu were pierced into the brain by a long needle and knocked down again, and the corpse that suddenly got up next to the purple-robed woman was also stabbed by Shi Yinghu and stopped moving for a moment.

At the same time, more than 20 corpses in this tunnel that were originally lying on the ground, as long as they were relatively intact, suddenly all moved, and some were even torn apart from the middle.

"Report to headquarters, it was found that the mutant lifeform of the 16th street in the target B12 district, possessing part of the mind and the ability to activate corpse poison, applied to increase the threat level. The corpses around him suddenly moved, Shi Yinghu cut down several corpses in a row, and then he suddenly ran high up the slope with a knife in his hand, and then stuck the wolf knife on the stone wall and held down his watch to report to the headquarters of the Hunters' Guild.

Although the Hunter Guild Headquarters in the Zhenjiang Acropolis is just a branch, for the hunters in this city, it is the Guild Headquarters in a relative sense.

"Hey, it's clear that we came first, how can you take credit like this?"

At the bottom of the tunnel, the girl in the purple trench coat has already started to fight with the living corpses that Luo Dong has resurrected, these living corpses are like zombies in film and television dramas, irrational and fearless of death, and they are likely to have a strong infection effect of activated corpse poison, which is especially fearful.

The martial artist has a strong physique, and most of the internal forces have a detoxification effect, but it is only a high chance that they will not be infected, not that they will not be infected.

And just like Shi Yinghu's judgment, the beautiful huntress in the purple and purple trench coat is indeed extremely superb in her martial arts, her light skills are clever and ruthless, and every blow of her gestures is aimed at the forehead, eyebrows, temples and other vital points of the living corpses around her.

slapped his palm obliquely, with a long needle between his fingers, and directly stabbed it into the brain of the living corpse, his body was smart, but his technique was terrifying.

And although Luo Dong said that he wanted to go to the Hunter Guild with Shi Yinghu to buy suitable martial arts, it was obvious that he had already started practicing during this time, and now it was just the "right to use" martial arts, at this time, Luo Dong held the sword and shield with both attack and defense, the right sword was like a poisonous snake, and the center of gravity of the eight-character footwork under his feet was calm, and it was very obvious that the Yuan family sword and shield routine, both offensive and defensive, and first-class life-saving, Luo Jianjun was really very clear in choosing martial arts for his nephew.

"Number: 523424462, E-class hunter Shi Yinghu, your feedback has been received by the guild, and the mission threat level has been raised...... Determine to upgrade to a D-level mission, as it is already higher than your Hunter level, so you have the option to continue with it or interrupt it altogether. ”

"I chose to proceed. ”

It's an E-level mission, but now the actual difficulty remains the same, but the mission reward has been increased to D-level, so there's really no reason not to continue doing it.

"If I don't apply in time, and that mutant beast is solved by other hunters who have rushed over, this mission will end as an E-level mission, and now everyone has the right to choose to continue to participate or quit, what's wrong?" After making a choice, Shi Yinghu said to the short-haired round-faced girl who was carrying a hammer not far away and had just questioned herself.

She, and the purple trench coat huntress below are both about twenty years old, and her face is so tender that it is not too much to call her a maiden.

Of course, in this world, many sixty or seventy-year-old aunts who have the skills to stay in their faces, their faces and skin are also kept like girls, pretending to be tender and deceitful everywhere, picking yin and supplementing yang, and terrifying!

By this time, the battle below the slope was over, and most of the living corpses had been dealt with by the young huntress, and a few had been dealt with by Luo Dong.

"Together, we can share information, and as for the ultimate benefit, it's up to the guild to decide. ”

"E-level task difficulty, D-level benefit...... There's no reason not to do it, what are you going to do next?" The short-haired, round-faced girl with a metal sledgehammer was still puffing up, and her senior sister had already said like this, she was indeed a very rational person.

"First go check the surveillance, check the people who haunt this neighborhood, are pale, photophobic, and have a history of drug abuse. Check the network of these people, and the goal is to...... Male, strong, should have the status of a warrior or hunter, about thirty years old. Scanning the scene of a mess, Shi Yinghu said.

What he made were some very common rational judgments, and it was just that he had experienced more things during this time, his mentality was relatively stable, and he could think of it quickly when he was calm.

"My name is Shi Yinghu, he is Luo Dong, and we are both E-level freelancers, who are we?"

"My name is Yang Weien, and she is my junior sister Cheng Na, an E-class freelance hunter. ”

At this time, the police car also sounded its siren and came around.

The primary function of the police in this era is to maintain social order and protect the safety of people's lives and property, and the elimination of mutant beasts is a secondary function.

"We are City Hunters, this is my Hunter License, and this incident is already a D-Class mission, so please cooperate with us to search for the escaped mutant lifeforms as soon as possible. Otherwise...... Soon more people will die. ”

"Hmm. Got it, Mr. Shi, I'll send competent police officers to assist you. Stepping out of the police car, a middle-aged and capable officer said this after checking the hunters' licenses of each of the four men.

What if before the cataclysm, a semi-civil organization wanted to assist the police in doing such a thing?

That's impossible.

However, many years later, the police are accustomed to cooperating with the Hunters' Guild to share some of the pressure.

After all, in this day and age, it is likely that there will be murders all the time, and if all of them are handled by the police, the work pressure is too great.

If all the mutant beasts/mutant lifeforms in the city are handed over to the police, first of all, the casualty rate of police officers will definitely increase dramatically.

For ordinary citizens, the danger of the job of a police officer is too high relative to the welfare benefits obtained, which will lead to fewer and fewer people willing to become police officers, and the requirements for income and benefits will be higher and higher, and so on.

If you outsource this part of the work to the Hunter Guild, you won't have this problem.

Because the police are responsible to the government and the public, and becoming a hunter is the choice of each individual.

Just like the laid-off workers of state-owned enterprises will gather in crowds and ask the government for explanations, while businessmen who choose to go to the sea by themselves will choose to jump off the building themselves in case they go bankrupt, and relatively few choose to gather to ask the government for explanations. Because both hunters and merchants have this expectation: since they have decided to embark on this road, they will be responsible for their own profits and losses.

This requires a psychological mechanism, coupled with the fact that the Hunter Guild is rich enough, and the hunter is also within the scope of his job to deal with mutant beasts/mutant lifeforms, so everyone is happy, and the Hunter Guild works closely with the police, which is the best result that is acceptable to all parties.

If the police force is increased in order to cope with the large number of such incidents, it will lead to excessive bloating of the police agency and a geometric increase in the cost of recruiting police officers.

Eventually, the Hunters' Guild, which also has a strong organizational force, became the carrying equipment of the police.

............

"Mom, I'm not going home tonight, it's a matter of work, and I just took a case. ”

"Hunters also have cases of chasing and killing mutant beasts, I don't know how to investigate, but police uncles will, I just need to be responsible for the last link, rest assured, rest assured, it's going to be fine, you don't have to worry. ”

Zhenjiang Acropolis, Police General Office.

Although he entered the police station again, and he was no longer in the branch but in the deployment, this time, Shi Yinghu came in as a collaborator, and there were three more partners by his side: Luo Dong, Yang Weien, and Cheng Na.

After calling his mother, he stared at the rain outside for a while, and then Shi Yinghu turned around and walked into the office, Luo Dong, Cheng Na, Yang Weien and the two police officers were looking through a large number of materials at the moment, looking for the monitoring, looking for a target that met everyone's prediction.

Yang Weien is the cold and intellectual huntress, and Cheng Na is her junior sister, the short-haired girl with a round face and a hammer on her back.

Before, although the police officer said that he wanted to send them competent police officers, but in fact, it was only two newly recruited police officers who were sent, and Shi Yinghu was also prepared for this, after all, the work pressure of the police themselves was very high, and it was really difficult for the other party to pay attention to the four low-level hunters and one D-level task.

Fortunately, the two little police officers worked very hard, after all, this is also a big case of more than 20 people who died in one place, although they are all addicts with very low social influence.

"Stone, things seem to be showing signs. ”

Shi Yinghu had just pushed the door into the house, and at this time, Luo Dong, who was originally checking the video, called him over, and then pointed to a stout and vicious-looking man in the surveillance video.

"Qian Mingwei, he basically meets all the characteristics of the stone you said, he appeared near the place of the incident recently, thirty-seven years old, used to be a professional hunter, and later had his hunter's license revoked for participating in drug trafficking: he is good at big stone wrestlers, hard qigong, tiger roaring gong (internal strength). ”

If Qian Mingwei was also taking drugs at the time, it is indeed possible for him to go crazy and cause a scene like the scene. The girl, Zhou Keke, one of the two police officers, handed a photo to Shi Yinghu.

This is a photo taken by Yang Weien when Shi Yinghu and Luo Dong had not yet arrived, because the living corpse had not yet begun to recover at that time, so the first scene was kept relatively intact. This is also an important reason why Shi Yinghu invited Yang Weien and her junior sister Cheng Na, who were the first group to arrive at the scene.

In this photo: dark tunnels, bloodstained and corpses, twisted human arms...... Shi Yinghu frowned, and then he put down the photo.

"In that case, then apply for his arrest immediately. Although some of the mental remnants will allow the target to return to the human state for a short time, this state is like a tense muscle, and it will eventually kill again, especially since it also has the ability to activate corpse poison, which is even more harmful. Shi Yinghu probably flipped through Qian Mingwei's information, this guy probably belongs to the type that is not wronged if he is shot down by a shot from the perspective of ordinary people, and now he is involved in the alienation beast case, so Shi Yinghu directly decided to arrest someone.

If it was an ordinary person, the police probably wouldn't allow such a rash arrest, but a guy with a criminal record would be much easier.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy, this bastard also knows that his case record is not very clean, he lives in XC everywhere, he rarely lives in regular hotels that require ID documents, and he hangs out in bars, nightclubs, nightclubs and other places all day long, and he doesn't go home once a month for half a month, so it's not easy to catch him. Among the two police officers who assisted in the investigation, the male police officer, Zhou Ke, said.

Zhou Ke has no blood relationship with Zhou Keke, it is just a coincidence that two police officers surnamed Zhou joined this year.

"Why don't we wait for him to stop the next mutation, and then directly take the stolen goods from others, right?" Hearing that it was a needle in a haystack, Cheng Na, who was a little lazy, suggested on the side.

"First, the next time he can't help himself mutate, that is, when he kills people, even if he mixes bars, nightclubs, and nightclubs, only six or seven of the ten people deserve to die, after all, there are still three or four who don't deserve to die. ”

"Second, if he succeeds in killing again, it will lower our evaluation of completing the mission, if the hunter destroys the mutant beast before us, this mission will not be completed by us at all, and we will not be able to get anything in vain. ”

"What then?"

"If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain. Go to the place where Qian Mingwei is most likely to go to block him, even if he can't be blocked, as close as possible, the next time he mutates, we have a better chance of killing him first. Shi Yinghu asserted this, but he was ruthless.
