Dr. Camden said without much hesitation, "I happen to know that." "According to what he said, he was bitten in a zombie attack more than a month ago. But coincidentally, the part where he was bitten was his paralyzed legs. "It may be due to individual differences. Hassan's infection was very serious and his legs soon began to mutate. "In order to save Hassan's life, Les injected all the antidotes he had at the time into Hassan, but in the end it was ineffective. "Hassan did not mutate into a zombie in the end, but his heart stopped beating. Les stayed by his bedside for a day and a night, and finally had to accept the reality and bury his brother. "But a few days later, Hassan woke up." Hearing this, Li You also raised his eyebrows: "Resurrected?" Camden shook his head: "It is not accurate to say that he was resurrected. If we have to say it, it is that Hassan's body was not completely dead in the first place. Under the erosion and reshaping of the Haran virus, he mutated and woke up. Come here." "But the person who wakes up is no longer Hassan. Although his brain is still alive, so he has Hassan's memory, but his reason has been swallowed up, and he will just wander around looking for food all day long. "Hassan himself couldn't tell what happened next. He only knows that one day, after eating, he felt a sharp pain in his body and fainted.
"When he woke up again, he regained consciousness, could think, speak, and even communicate with others. But after all, the person who survived was not the same person. "Don't look at his appearance. In fact, his physical condition is very unstable, and he is prone to certain mutations from time to time. With each mutation, his strength will increase, but his humanity will weaken. Sometimes there are also mutations with negative effects. occur. "That's why he found me and hoped that I could help stabilize his physical condition. Unfortunately, I couldn't do what he wanted." Dr. Camden shook his head and added: "As for why he is so unique, according to my speculation, it should be that Hassan himself is a special mutant, and then after long-term predation, the concentration of Harlan virus in the body reached To a certain extent, the evolution to... Oh, Night Hunter, this stage was finally completed." "Did you choose this name? I think it's good. Hassan looks like a lone hunter in the dark." Li You nodded and asked: "Then why do you think Hassan's condition will be helpful to you in researching the antidote?" Dr. Camden said: "If you think about it, although it is not complete, Hassan is 'resurrected from the dead' after all! He even retains a relatively complete memory." "I speculate that when he was first bitten, he was injected with an overdose of antidote, so some kind of mutation occurred in his body. This mutation may be the key to finding a cure for Harlan virus! "It's a pity that although Hassan wanted me to help him, he was still on guard against me and refused to let me analyze his body tissue. Otherwise, maybe I could really find a way..." Camden was a little depressed, while Li You was thoughtful. In the game, the origin of the Night Hunters has never been mentioned, and of course it is impossible to explain their original identities. After all, the Night Hunter is a special infected person who only appears in the multiplayer confrontation mode and is played by the player. Generally speaking, most people believe that night hunters are mutated from survivors with excellent physical fitness, because many details similar to parkours can be seen in the movement habits of night hunters. But some players have put forward a conjecture, that is, the night hunters actually evolved from the escapees. Li You thought for a while and asked Camden: "Have you heard of the Fugitive?" Dr. Camden was stunned: "Huh?" Fugitives are a special type of infected person in the game. Their biggest feature is that they will never attack players, but will run away when they see people. They are similar in size to normal humans, covered in green pustules, move quickly, and appear to be somewhat resistant to ultraviolet rays. In the game's plot, the Runaways were born from Dr. Zere's experiments. After injecting the antidote into meat, he released the meat on the streets for zombies to eat, trying to observe their reactions and find a cure for the Harlan virus. method.
Originally, Dr. Zerei found nothing and thought he had failed. However, it was not until Crane accidentally discovered this unique infected person outside the street and contacted Dr. Zerei that he was shocked to realize that he had originally The attempt was not without effect. So he commissioned Crane to kill a fugitive at night and obtain its tissue for analysis. He was surprised to find that the components in this tissue might provide them with clues to the antidote. So Dr. Zerei packaged the tissue samples and experimental data, hoping that Crane could bring the package to Dr. Camden, who was still trapped in the Old City Research Institute at the time, so that he would have enough equipment to complete subsequent research. In the second half of the main plot, the battle for this research data begins. In the original plot, escapees are the key to developing antidotes, and their body tissues can also be used as the main material for one of the most powerful enchantments of weapons in the game, so many players have the experience of hunting them at night. But the fugitive is very special. Not only is it as timid as a mouse, but it moves fast and turns around and runs away when it sees people. It also has a close relationship with the night demon group. The fugitives only move in the dark. When they find an enemy, they will scream and call the night demons to protect it. Even if the player sneaks up and twists the neck of the runner without being discovered, it will warn the surrounding night demons through telepathy before it dies, and the player's night demon tracking level will immediately rise to level one. In other words, the night demon will find the location. Because of the interesting characteristics of the runners, some players also complained that they might be the wives of the night demons... Seeing that Camden seemed to have no knowledge of the runners, Li You briefly introduced the characteristics of the runners and said that they were a type of infected person he accidentally discovered. Camden's eyes lit up immediately: "Zere's experiment... So that's it!" "It is very likely that Hassan first mutated into this kind of runner, and then accumulated the Harlan virus and finally became a night hunter! This makes sense!" Looking at the excited Camden, Li You narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not mention to Dr. Camden the players' speculation about the relationship between the runners and the night hunters, but Camden thought of this himself. After all, if you really want to find it, there is a lot of relevant evidence. For example, the Night Hunter and the Fugitive have similar green skin, the same human body shape, the same swiftness of movement, and they all have the ability to think, and they all have a certain resistance to ultraviolet rays... and so on. Li You even saw someone put forward a view that the Fugitive, the Night Demon, and the Night Hunter may have a symbiotic relationship. The Night Demons protect the Fugitive, allowing it to eat safely and promote evolution. And when the Fugitive successfully evolves into the Night Hunter, it can in turn protect the Night Demon's nest. This also explains the mystery that the Fugitive, the Night Hunter, and the Night Demon are obviously not the same mutants, but have a surprisingly good relationship. Li You has to say that this is indeed a genius guess. As for the rumor that the Night Hunter actually preys on the Night Demon, there is no relevant evidence and it should be a rumor. In short, Li You also told all of this to Dr. Camden, which made Dr. Camden's eyes brighter and his expression more and more excited. "What you said is so valuable! Radio, where is my unlimited power? I want to contact Ze Lei and discuss with him!" Li You took out a radio helplessly and said, "I have sent a signal to restore the power supply of the communication tower in the slums. You can communicate smoothly now. But I have one last question." Camden was almost impatient: "What is the question? Ask it quickly!" Li You: "Did Hassan mention what happened in the suburbs?" Li You did not think that the situation in the suburbs mentioned by Hassan before he took action was made up.
Combined with the information asked from the comedian Kahn of the Rice Gang, the suburbs today may really be different from the game, and some major changes have occurred. This time, Dr. Camden thought about it carefully before saying, "Hassan didn't mention it to me, but once he went out to the suburbs, and when he came back, he had some more injuries on his body, which looked like they were left by the Night Demon. I asked him at the time, but he just fooled me with a few simple words." "If I know anything about him and the suburbs, it's only this." Li You nodded, handed the radio to Camden, and said, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore. The bodies of Hassan and Rice will be delivered soon, and we will try our best to capture a few escapees for your research." "The recapture operation of the institute has been deployed. When we regain control of the institute, I will pick up Dr. Zerre from the slums and send you back for research." Camden was a little surprised, but then he stretched out his hand and shook Li You's hand heavily: "Thank you very much!" After saying goodbye to Dr. Camden, Li You returned to the office. He took out a piece of paper and wrote down several things that threatened the survivors of Harlan. The Rice Gang, the infected, and the military. Among them, the Rice Gang has been disintegrated, with only a few remnants left, and will soon be wiped out. This biggest threat to the survivors no longer exists. As for the military, because Rice did not successfully disclose the evidence of GRE's research on virus weapons, GRE still controls public opinion. As long as they do not lose patience, the military will not be able to send fighter jets to clean up the place for the time being. So the most important target at the moment is still the infected. Or to put it more clearly... Li You used a pen to draw a horizontal line under the three words "infected", and then wrote a few more words. "Suburbs, Holy Mother." Looking at the name on the paper, Li You fell into thought. "It seems that I must go to the suburbs." It is not only to see the condition of the Holy Mother of the Son of the Sun Sect, but also to get more Harlan virus reagents, that is, blue elixir. The one that the system rewarded before, Yuzi had already sucked up, and now he can only eat the internal organs of the Night Demon every day to ingest the Harlan virus. But this speed is too slow. If it goes on like this, maybe Zere and Camden have developed the antidote, and Yuzu hasn't absorbed enough virus for him to strengthen. Finally, what Li You fears most is that the events in the suburbs go wrong and the Virgin Mary gets the nuclear bomb code. Then she will send all the survivors and infected people in Harlan to heaven with "love". Thinking of one of the endings of the Believer DLC in the game, Li You couldn't help but twitch his mouth. "We have to go to the suburbs as soon as possible." Thinking of this, Li You called Karim and asked him to ask someone to go to the first floor and bring the imprisoned Kahn over. Karim went without saying anything, while Li You opened the system interface. After yesterday's battle, the system has completed a new achievement. … [Congratulations on completing the achievement: Night Hunter Hunter. ] [Achievement content: Kill a Night Hunter with a melee weapon. ]
[Achievement reward: Achievement points × 800, wristband grappling hook catapult × 1, reward extraction opportunities × 3. ] … [Congratulations on completing the achievement: Night Demon Nest Cleanup. ] [Achievement content: Destroy three Night Demon Nests. ] [Achievement reward: Achievement points × 600, self-selected attribute skill book × 1, Night Demon Hunter set random parts × 2. ] … [Congratulations on completing the hidden achievement: It turns out that you really have perception. ] [Achievement content: Witness the tears of a night demon or a night hunter. ] [Achievement reward: Portable translator × 1. ] … "Hmm?" Li You's attention was immediately attracted by the last hidden achievement. There is such an achievement in the system? It looks just like a plot achievement, but the world Li You is in is not a game. Objectively speaking, it is very difficult to complete this hidden achievement. But this reward...? Translator? Not even achievement points? Isn't this achievement a bit too unique? Li You took out the translator with a question mark on his face, and then found that its shape is similar to a Bluetooth headset hanging outside the ear. It is small in size and has a sense of technology. The bright yellow breathing light on the headset is flashing. "It's pretty cool..." Li You started the item description. [Portable translator: It can translate any systematic language or prototype language into the user's language, and can be upgraded. ] Li You: "Woc!?" Universal translator! ? This thing is really awesome! As a person who is proficient in both Chinese and English, Li You still understands how much effort it takes to master a language. As a result, this translator immediately allowed him to understand all languages, even prototype languages. Doesn't that mean that he can communicate with those strange races without obstacles when he goes to other game worlds in the future? However, Li You studied it carefully and found that it was not that good, because the translator can only translate what he hears, and the translator does not translate what he says.
I guess this "upgradeable" note is prepared for this. Not bad, Li You took it directly and continued to check other rewards. The second thing he cared about was naturally the grappling hook catapult given by the Night Hunter achievement. Li You took it out and found that it was a pair of small gadgets similar to wristbands or bracelets. It was not thick, but it was five centimeters wide, like a pair of wristbands. The slender rope was wrapped around the surface, and there was a launch port on the top. [Wristband grappling hook catapult: The grappling hook catapult worn on the wrist can shoot a grappling hook rope up to 15 meters long. After hooking the target, it will shrink quickly to pull the target closer. But you need enough attribute values to use it. 】 【Requirements for use: Strength 20, Agility 18/Strength 15, Agility 12, and the "Grappling Hook Mastery" skill. 】 "…Tsk, I knew it." The attribute requirements of this thing are really high. But it's not surprising to think about it. Without the physical fitness of Spider-Man Peter Parker, ordinary people who want to play with the grappling hook will probably tear off their arms when they throw the grappling hook out and pull it back. The way Clan and Aunt Wang play it really requires non-human physiques to do it. If it is to follow the original requirements of this thing, then Li You estimates that this thing will have to eat dust in his backpack for a long time, but the existence of the grappling hook mastery skill gives him hope. His current attributes are: Strength 10, Agility 12, Intelligence 11, Perception 9, Spirit 11, which have not been improved for a long time. The hunter suit he is wearing now has a small increase in physical fitness, and strength and agility can be improved a little bit, that is, 11 and 13 points respectively. According to Li You's estimation and the attempts during this period, this physical quality has been steadily superior to that of ordinary night demons. In other words, without considering other special abilities, if Li You is simply asked to wrestle with a night demon or compare speed, Li You is still stronger. However, compared with the evolved night demon, it may be slightly worse. In a world without extraordinary powers, this physical strength can be said to have climbed to the top of normal humans. For example, Li You is very sure that Clan's physical quality is not as good as his, but he still can't use the grappling hook catapult. It can only be said that the performance and settings of the game are different from the game world he is in. Li You looked at his backpack and skill panel. To meet the conditions for using the grappling hook catapult, you must first have 15 strength and 12 agility. Li You's agility is enough, but the strength is still a little short. However, this is easy to solve. The remaining achievement of clearing the night demon's nest gives a self-selected attribute skill book, which is much worse than the full attribute skill book obtained before, but it can also allow Li You to choose one attribute +2. Combined with the enhancement of the hunter suit, the strength is exactly 15 points. So the remaining problem is the proficiency of survival skills, which has not increased much recently. [Survival Skills - Advanced: Proficiency (541/1000)] This is not surprising. After all, Li You has been busy recently and has not been able to brush up his proficiency. So Li You made up his mind to brush up his survival skill proficiency to 1000 as soon as possible. Then use the attribute skill book to equip the wristband grappling hook catapult. By then, he will also be Harlan Spider-Man!
As for the remaining rewards, they are random parts of the Night Hunter suit. Li You took a quick look and found that the Night Hunter suit has a total of six parts, goggles, gloves, boots, tops, trousers, and body armor. Each piece of equipment has its own special effects and can be equipped separately. Putting them together as a set can activate the characteristics of the suit. A very classic set of equipment settings. Li You received a top and trousers. Both are black-based styles, and then have bright yellow paint, which is exactly the same style as the Night Hunter goggles. However, their special effects are quite ordinary. In addition to the extra defense against the attacks of the Night Demons, they can only improve physical fitness a little bit, but they are not as good as the Hunter Set, and they are not as valuable as the goggles to be equipped separately. In addition, because Li You has obtained three pieces of equipment, he can see the last set characteristics. [Night Demon Hunter Set] [Set characteristics: Night Demon Hunter. It can be used once every 12 hours. After activation, it greatly increases the damage to the Night Demons and greatly improves the resistance to the attacks of the Night Demons in a short period of time, but it will fall into a weak state after the effect ends. The weak state lasts for 1 hour. ] Well, the identification is completed. It is not very useful at this stage. Li You directly turned off the panel. "Maybe when necessary, you can lend it to Clan to wear?" There will be another chapter later.
