Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 466 - 80: Resurrection

"Heh, he's alive."

Sun Hang could feel Ling Xiao's heartbeat growing stronger and stronger. The powerful pulsations pushed the previously halted blood flow all throughout his body once again, causing even the severely damaged brain tissue, due to lack of blood, to rapidly regenerate.

Unlike other cells in the human body, brain cells and nerve cells do not regenerate...yet under the infusion of the majestic life force of Yi 423, this claim became a complete joke.

The so-called qualitative change induced by quantitative change, this is probably the effect of it.

Ling Xiao began to cough violently, and the clotted blood trapped in his trachea came out in chunks through his mouth and nose.

Once Ling Xiao finally regained normal breathing and his damaged internal organs were all repaired, Sun Hang directly wrapped him up with dozens of fungal threads and threw him out of the containment room.

What remained was exclusively Sun Hang's mealtime.

The process of absorbing Yi 423 was nothing like the thrilling adventure of absorbing the Kui Niu's bones, it could be described as smooth sailing...the substantive life force that made people like Yuri talk in fear, was for Sun Hang like a Ten-Perfect Replenishing Elixir without side effects, he consumed as much as it came.

Time ticked by second by second, more and more people gathered outside the Yi 423 containment room...not only did Yuri rush back from Peony Slope, but even Sun Qiong and some senior officials from the Abnormal Ability Management Department arrived upon hearing the news.

The barrier blocking Building No.3 had disappeared without a trace, the fluctuation of those eerie memetic entities also faded into silence...except for Yuan Rui and some who stayed at the base to handle the aftermath, the others basically followed Yuri back to Jade Pillar.

Ling Xiao had awoken, but he refused to speak in response to any inquiries—given Sun Hang's authority in place, Yuri and the others were not in a position to take any enforced actions...he even refused to go with the medical staff for examination, stubbornly waiting at the door of the containment room.

Time had passed for a full thirty hours, yet the number of people standing guard outside only increased instead of decreased. Sun Qiong, with two dark circles under her eyes, pushed a boxed meal to Ling Xiao's feet and said, "I know you won't say anything unless Sun Hang comes out, but at least, you have to eat, right? Sun Hang went through so much effort to save your life, if you starved here, how do you think he'd feel once he emerges?"

"Exactly." Yuri, sitting on a folding chair, took a big bite of his meal, chewing while speaking in a muddled voice, "There's an old saying in Xiazhou: 'People need food like iron and rice like steel,' young man, you can't not eat!"

"Yuri, you have the nerve to lecture others..." whispered the head of the security department, "Don't you know how dangerous it is here? If Yi 423 gets out of control, we may not even have the chance to evacuate."

"Danger?" Yuri, with a few grains of rice stuck to the corner of his mouth, raised his head and glanced at the head of the security department, "Since it's dangerous, why are you still waiting here then..."

"Yuri, you...you just love arguing with me, don't you? If you've got the guts, try talking to Mr. Pei that way next time."

"I don't have the guts, so I can only argue with you, what's the deal, not happy?" Yuri snorted with disdain, causing a rice grain to shoot out from his nostril. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Haha." The head of the security department chuckled coldly, simply turned around, and chose not to engage with this old buddy who joined Dubhe Tower at the same time.

"Mr. Ma, your worries are a bit excessive." A person wearing a lab coat, whose head shone like a big light bulb, patted the shoulder of the security department head, "My people have been monitoring the data of Yi 423... its memetic frequency has been steadily weakening, and the life force concentration inside the containment room has maintained a relatively stable level, which means that young man has completely brought the situation under control..."

The light bulb paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Mr. Pei's insight is incredibly astute indeed..."

"It's not just insightful, but Mr. Pei is more daring than any of us." Yuri put down his chopsticks and said, "If it were you or me, even if we knew Sun Hang had that capability, would you dare let him act freely?"

"Heh... usually, I really wouldn't dare." The light bulb chuckled, "But special times call for special treatment, if..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Mr. Ma, the head of the security department, interrupted him: "Do you mean that we're in a special period now?"

"Not yet, but it's close." The light bulb restrained his smile and his expression became serious, "First in Shuzhou, then in Lake Baikal City... who knows where the next location will be."

"...if such words are spoken by someone of our status and spread out, the consequences could be unimaginable." Yuri frowned and warned.

"Do you think it's not already spreading below?" The light bulb said, "Those who can enter Dubhe Tower are the elite, even with the slightest clues they can perceive things... Do you think the abnormalities happening now can simply be considered clues?"

"I think, creating a certain tense atmosphere could be beneficial, it might increase everyone's sense of urgency...and simultaneously prepare for the possibly forthcoming second eerie entity war." The head of the security department spoke in a voice audible only to the three of them, "I asked Mr. Pei, how much more time do we have..."

"What did Mr. Pei say?" Yuri and the light bulb simultaneously asked.
