Chapter 83: The Texas Skinners (3)
Belle, Luo Cheng, and Rehe all have strange faces, and Ariana says that the ghoul is a Texas skinner, which makes them feel like the legendary creature has stepped out of a storybook.
It's like someone telling you in all seriousness that the real culprit of a murder was actually Gargamel.
"Texas Skinner...... Isn't it a fairly common predator? Belle asked, "This thing seems to be very famous." ”
"Nope." Ariana shook her head, "On the contrary, the Texas Skinners are extremely rare marauders, and the reason why they are so famous is not because they are common, but because of their terrifying cruelty, and the Texas Skinners are the most notorious hunters, they are one of the few demons who will take pleasure in killing. ”
"Killing for fun?" Luo Cheng carried a long and narrow black box, "I remember that hunters never do superfluous things, and they also entertain themselves?" ”
"It's true that the vast majority of hunters don't move around anything other than hunting, in order to conserve energy, but the Texas skinners are different." "They often hunt more prey than they can eat, and they love to dismember and torture, they like to play with their prey to death, and then tear the carcass apart and throw it away...... Do you know why this thing is called the Texas Skinner? ”
Belle shook her head.
Although they all know the name, the origin of the name is unknown.
Most hunters get their names from eyewitness descriptions, and people name them after the hunter's most distinctive features.
"The Texas Skinners are not describing the appearance of the thing, but the way it kills its prey...... It likes to skin its prey alive. Ariana said faintly, and the words that came out made everyone present shudder, "This is indeed a very strange behavior, the Texas skinners will spend a lot of time and energy, slowly torturing the prey until the prey dies, but the dead body will be discarded by the Texas skinners." ”
"This kind of behavior can only be a game and entertainment in my opinion." Anna continued, "They take pleasure in killing and love to watch their prey die and cry in pain. ”
"Does this mean that the Texans are a type of hunter with a high IQ?" Luo Cheng asked.
Ariana glanced at him and nodded.
"It's possible that Texas skinners have human-like appearances, which means that they have a cranial cavity similar to that of humans, and if the cranial cavity is a brain, then their brain capacity is very amazing." Anna replied, "Probably the most brain-sized species of all hunters. ”
"Wow, do Texas skinners really look like that?" Belle was a little surprised, "A weirdo with six hands? I thought someone else was making it up. ”
"For now, that's right." Ariana said, "There are too few sightings of Texas skinners to rule out the possibility of a fallacy." ”
The Executive Department has completed the installation of the broadsword mine and is withdrawing from the cemetery, from now on, the cemetery is completely cordoned off, no one is allowed to step into it, this is already a minefield, it is too dangerous to break in at will.
It was getting dark, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was about to get night, the colonel ordered the executive department to notify the survivors to evacuate, the academy was under full martial law, if the ghoul was really a Texas skinner, then the security zone was full of danger at the moment, and anyone could be attacked.
The Humvee jeep slowly drove away from the cemetery, the remote control terminal of the broadsword mine and the monitoring terminal of the camera are now in the compartment, the car is now a small mobile command post, and the command system has an advantage of being compact and flexible, and the jeep stopped at the edge of the flower house not far from the cemetery.
"Get everyone together and count them and don't leave anyone behind!" Abraham was giving an account to the head of the executive department, "Then evacuate them into bunkers, remember, make sure you keep them indoors and don't let anyone go out!" Send heavy troops to guard it, and be sure to protect everyone! ”
The person in charge saluted, "Guaranteed to complete the task!" ”
"Snipers, patrols and sentries are in place on time, with at least two people at each post on duty, and if you find a suspicious target, report it immediately!" Abraham was very serious, these are old words that he has said many times, but the middle-aged man turned them out and emphasized them repeatedly, because the situation is too serious to be sloppy.
The person in charge nodded.
Abel leaned closer, raised a hand and pressed it on his shoulder, and whispered, "Also, remember, don't fall in love with war, save your life, run if you can, your life is your own, and each of you must come back to see me in its entirety."
The person in charge turned to leave the cemetery, and the middle-aged man watched his back disappear into the path.
The colonel stood on the side, wrapped in a trench coat, and he was also a little tired after a busy day, and his originally straight spine bent at some point.
"What are you thinking?" The middle-aged man asked.
"I'm thinking about the Texas Skinner." The Colonel replied, "Are we the only two of us who have actually seen that thing in the whole safe zone?" ”
The middle-aged man recalled a little, "Price has also seen it." ”
The colonel pointed to the cemetery beneath his feet, "Price is already lying underneath it. ”
"Then it's just the two of us." Abraham said, "The whole world is probably the only one who has ever seen that." ”
"What's your impression of the Texas Skinners?"
"Nightmare." The middle-aged man sighed, "It's a nightmare...... Inflicted 10,000 critical damage on my young mind, I never knew the Hunter could look like that until then, and I had nightmares for a month about the monsters crawling out from under my bed. ”
"Seriously, over the years, I've seen the Infected, I've seen the Lurkers, I've seen the Marauders, I've seen the Alien Queen, I've seen the Sirens, and I've been numb to the disgusting zombies and monsters, and the only ones who really scared me were the Texas Skinners." Able continued, he paused, and then couldn't help but explode, "What the fuck is that?" How can there be such a weird and disgusting monster in the world? Is God blind? ”
"It's like crawling out of hell." said the colonel.
"Is it hell?" The middle-aged man shook his head, "I never want to see that thing again in my life, and now I get goosebumps when I think about it." ”
"So scary?" The Colonel asked leisurely.
"You didn't get up close and personal with that thing, I was the closest at the time." Abraham pouted, "So it caused me the most psychological trauma." ”
The Colonel nodded, "What did you see at the time?" ”
"I saw myself." Abraham said quietly, "Abraham Don who crawled out of hell." ”
