"Change?" Sean sat in his chair and flipped through the papers on his desk, "What do you mean?" The world is changing every day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

What the middle-aged man threw over was all the mission reports of the hummingbird team during this period of time, thick and large, all photocopies, and each page of the paper had a gray "top secret" official seal...... The originals of these mission reports should still be locked in the colonel's filing cabinet.

"Old man, you shouldn't have access to these documents." The colonel said, "You exceeded your authority. ”

"Don't talk to me about permissions, I'm not a soldier." The middle-aged man leaned against the wall, "Don't eat your set in the Marine Corps...... Tell me, what do you think after reading this? ”

"No ideas." Sean shook his head, "I got these reports before you, and I've read them all." ”

"Then there's one more you haven't read." The middle-aged man pulled out a crumpled stack of paper from the butt pocket of his dirty jeans, "I just got this report from the little girl in the library. ”

The middle-aged man put the papers on the table and pushed them to the colonel opposite.

Sean unfolded the document, frowning slightly, the whole paper exuded a strong smell of kerosene, and there were two jet-black handprints on the white paper, it seemed that the middle-aged man had just finished unclogging the range hood when he read this document and had not had time to wash his hands.

"This is the autopsy report of the marauder who Luo Cheng and Rehra came back not long ago." The middle-aged man sat down on the couch, "The marauder was found mortally wounded, as if he had been attacked by something, and finally died in the sewer, you know this very well, right?" ”

"I made the plan for their mission that time." The colonel nodded, "Luo Cheng and Lei He's report has already described this matter in detail. ”

"The little girl in the library has confirmed the cause of the injury, the large laceration wound is indeed caused by another predator, she found tissue and cell fragments in the wound that she had never seen before, and after comparing the database with the gene pool, she found that the fragments did not belong to any kind of hunter we know." The middle-aged man said, "This is a whole new kind of hunter." ”

"Oh...... Have you discovered a new variety? The Colonel raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Then I'm here to congratulate you in advance, you've made a great biological discovery, and maybe you'll get the naming rights for it or something." ”

"Don't interrupt." The middle-aged man waved his palm, "I'm not done yet...... After further autopsy, we found no other serious injuries at all, not even traces of a fight, and no body tissue in its claws and teeth, which meant that the marauder was killed in an instant...... According to the simulation experiment, the instantaneous force to tear it can reach up to 8,000 Ox, and the little girl described it as if someone used a 500-kilogram super giant fire axe to cut the head of that thing with force, and told my old friend, what can lift a 500-kilogram axe to hunt down a marauder? ”

The colonel did not speak this time, and a crack appeared on his expressionless face.

"Look at these reports...... I don't believe you haven't noticed, but recently the primary restricted area around the academy has started to be infested with hunters and xenomorph zombies, and the lurkers that we have rarely encountered once in the past three months, we have encountered them three times in the last week! This has reached the level of a high-level exclusion zone, and if you really are a battlefield commander, then the enemies surrounding you have been strengthened tenfold in the past week! You're telling me now that you've found nothing? The middle-aged man tapped lightly on the table, "And ...... Arnold, who had just returned from patrol, reported finding traces of ghouls in the primary exclusion zone. We all know very well that hunters are extremely territorial creatures, they will not easily leave their territory, let alone wander around aimlessly, so why do those hunters who originally lived in high-level forbidden areas appear near the academy? ”

The colonel was silent.

"If the leopards and jackals in the mountains and forests abandon their territory and start fleeing, what do you think will be the reason?" The middle-aged man stood at his desk and lowered his head and asked.

Sean crossed his hands and silently looked at the autopsy report in front of him.

"I'll tell you ......why," the middle-aged man said slowly, "it could be a tiger in the woods." ”

Sean was stunned.

"Old friend...... "The middle-aged man leaned over and propped one hand on the table, "Marauders are not the limit of hunters at all...... Right? ”

There was silence in the office, and after a long moment, the colonel sighed.

"Anna, that kid is really not simple." The old man smiled, "That girl probably guessed that I was hiding something from her." ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... These are all speculations I made! The middle-aged man glared, "What does it have to do with the little girl in the library?" ”

"If you can make half of those deductions, then you should be sitting here." Sean got up, took out the key from his arms, inserted it into the keyhole of the desk drawer, turned it slightly, and with a "click", a wooden board under the keyhole slowly moved away, revealing the fingerprint combination lock inside.

"Your table is so high-end?" The middle-aged man was taken aback, "How did I never know that your drawer was actually opened with fingerprints?" ”

"Since the last time you tried to pick the locks unsuccessfully, I've replaced all my locks with fingerprint recognition." The colonel pressed his index finger to the fingerprint panel, and with a "drop" sound, the drawer slowly slid out.

The middle-aged man on the other side of the table leaned over and was blocked by the colonel with his hand.

He took out a large dark blue folder from the drawer and handed it to the middle-aged man.

Sean sat back down, "Hunter's classification level...... Do you remember? ”

The middle-aged man nodded, "There are a total of sixty-eight types of hunters recorded so far, there are more than forty kinds of lurkers in the first category, and more than twenty kinds of predators in the second category......"

"That's mostly true, but it's not accurate." Sean said, "From a biological point of view, we can't actually subdivide hunters into small units like 'species', because they produce new mutations every day, and the so-called recorded hunters have a total of 68 species, which actually means that there are 68 orders of known hunters, and there are more than 40 orders of the first type of lurkers, and there are more than 20 orders of the second type of predators...... Everybody knows that, but do you know the exact number? ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, there were more than forty kinds of lurkers, more than twenty kinds of predators, and he could open these unknown numbers, but when he asked about the specific data, he was shocked to realize that he didn't know that it was more than forty or twenty.

"Forty-three orders for lurkers, twenty-two for marauders." Sean continued.

"Wait......" The middle-aged man interrupted the colonel.

"Did you notice?" Sean smiled.

"Forty-three plus twenty-two......," the middle-aged man's back began to sweat, "it's not sixty-eight at all!" The remaining three blanks...... What exactly? ”
