Chapter 124: The Temptation of the Spaceship

Sun Cheng took a slight interest in the so-called "Hunter-type individual combat auxiliary equipment" mentioned by Revenge, stripped it from the hand of the "Ghost Hunter," and felt a bit disappointed after fumbling with it for a moment.

The size was wrong, and it wasn't light either.

He tried putting it on his arm, only to find it was too big, and the thing was also incredibly heavy—it must have weighed four or five jin; for a right-handed person like him whose left hand was already less dexterous than his right, his left arm would be basically half-useless once he put it on.

He immediately tossed it aside, then looked at the right arm of the "Ghost Hunter," discovering that it indeed also wore an alloy-crafted bracer. Seeing that this bracer was different from the one on the left, with two blades at the front, he had just taken it off to examine it closely when he was stopped by Revenge: "Master, this is the standard-issue weapon equipped by the Hunters—the wrist blade. Two sharp blades can pop out from the top of the bracer. Be careful, it's dangerous!"

Hearing this, Sun Cheng paused. After weighing it and finding that the bracer on the right hand was even a few jin heavier than the one on the left, he could only disappointedly set it aside as well.

Looking at the pile of harvested equipment, Sun Cheng worried for a while, not knowing which piece to take. After thinking for a moment, he asked Revenge: "Do you know what these pieces of equipment are for?"

"Yes!"

He picked up the equipment he didn't recognize one by one, and after having Revenge introduce them to him in turn, he finally figured out the functions of these cold weapons.

Thereupon, Sun Cheng tossed the soft whip and hunting net that he couldn't use aside, packed up the double-headed folding spear, and also gathered the four disc-shaped throwing stars, preparing to throw this Hunter out of the bathroom window.

Just as he was about to lift the person up, he didn't expect Revenge to remind him again, "Master, it is best to take the three most important pieces of equipment on this Hunter!"

"The three most important pieces of equipment?"

He was stunned for a moment, then looked at the wrist blade, soft whip, and hunting net on the ground that he was planning to throw away, his face showing some difficulty: "I don't know how to use these things!"

"No, the most important equipment on it is not these three, but the mask, the optical stealth net, and the Hunter-type individual combat auxiliary equipment. The mask can perform spectral scanning, see through objects, and conduct automatic infrared targeting of targets; the optical stealth net can perform optical camouflage; as for that Hunter-type individual auxiliary equipment, it can not only provide energy for the mask and the optical stealth net, but in critical moments, it can also be used as a bomb, with a power equivalent to more than three hundred tons of high explosives!"

It paused, "Besides this, the Hunter-type individual combat auxiliary equipment is also a key, which can be used to find the spaceship that the Hunters have hidden somewhere on the island!"

"A spaceship?"

Sun Cheng's eyes lit up; he was indeed very interested in the spaceships of these alien creatures.

Since these Hunters could come to Earth from thousands of light-years away, it undoubtedly proved that their civilization had indeed developed to a considerable degree; even if it were not as good as the Cybertron planet from another world, it was at least far more advanced than Earth's civilization.

A spaceship from a high-level civilization, and relying on the abilities of a Decepticon, Sun Cheng was also very confident that he could crack it and make it his own. Thinking this way, he immediately made up his mind.

"Swish!"

Sun Cheng snatched up the "Hunter-type individual combat auxiliary equipment" from the ground, which he had previously been somewhat reluctant to take. After thinking about it, he simply took off the casual suit jacket he had draped under the curtains, stripped the mask and the stealth net—which looked very much like fetish gear—off the Hunter, wrapped them all into a bundle like those in period dramas, and then tied it to himself using the two sleeves of the suit jacket.

After finishing this, Sun Cheng draped the curtain over himself again, and by pulling and dragging, he finally managed to drag the Hunter's corpse to the bed and laboriously threw it out.

To avoid being suspected for being away too long, and also out of concern that the other Hunter Revenge mentioned who was rushing toward the Research Center might target him while he was alone, he quickly finished his business and left the restroom, heading toward the Canting where Commandant Daqi and the others were.

"……The food is over there, go get whatever you want to eat……"

Seeing him return, Commandant Daqi, whose expression was somewhat ugly, pointed to one of the tables filled with food, drinks, and alcohol, signaling for him to go get some himself!

Sun Cheng nodded without saying much. He was indeed a bit hungry now, so he stepped forward to grab a hot dog, took a bottle of black water on the way, and found a table in the back of the Canting to sit down and eat.

He had only taken a few bites of the hot dog when Sun Cheng suddenly felt the light dim. He looked up and realized it was Commandant Daqi walking toward him. Seeing him look up, Daqi immediately asked: "The helicopter will take five or six hours to arrive to pick us up. Besides the villa and this place you mentioned earlier, are there any other buildings on the island?"

Sun Cheng wasn't quite sure what he meant, so he thought for a moment before saying: "There aren't many buildings already constructed on the island. The ones that can be used are probably just the villa and the Research Center…… oh, and the Gongdianchu……"

He suddenly remembered a building he had passed by during the day, "It's deep in the mountain forest we passed when we just arrived, about two kilometers away from here……"

"Two kilometers, huh……" Commandant Daqi frowned and quickly shook his head.

He had just gone to take a look; the rain outside had already started to lighten.

But it wasn't safe outside. Not to mention the threat of those keen-scented carnivorous dinosaurs in the dark of night, just the fact that there had been no leads on the creator of the Research Center incident made them afraid to go out easily.

While everyone was dining, suddenly, a violent door-slamming sound came from outside the Canting, and at the same time, the sound of hurried footsteps rang out.

"There's a situation……"

Commandant Daqi threw away the half-sandwich in his hand and ordered in a low voice: "Everyone, be on alert……"

He looked at Huojinsi and the Warrior Bulian; the two of them tacitly grabbed their weapons and walked toward the Canting entrance with him.

Just as they reached the entrance, suddenly a panicked woman's voice rang out, "Is anyone there? I need help……"

This voice made Sun Cheng, who was hiding behind a bench, feel somewhat familiar. Just as he was frowning and trying to recall who the owner of the voice was, he looked up and saw Commandant Daqi make a gesture. Huojinsi nodded in understanding and immediately shouted loudly: "Who's there……"

After shouting, he hid behind the door again, staying alert and waiting for the woman to be lured over.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Cheng finally remembered who the owner of the voice was. Just as he was about to tell everyone, who would have thought that after the woman heard Huojinsi's shouting, she immediately quickened her pace and ran over, shouting as she ran: "Come help me, I need help……"

She soon arrived at the door of the Canting and pushed it open, rushing inside.

Huojinsi was quick; the moment she entered the door, he raised his gun and aimed it at her head, while the Warrior Bulian set up his heavy Machine Gun, flashed out the door, and aimed the muzzle at the corridor outside.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. I know this person. She is Doctor Saitele, just like me, she was also invited to the island by International Genetic Technologies……"

Recognizing that this woman was the tough female Doctor who had left a deep impression on him in the afternoon by daring to use her hand to dig through dragon dung, Sun Cheng hurriedly stood up from where he was hiding and said loudly.

These words seemed to make Commandant Daqi and the others relax as well. Huojinsi looked at Commandant Daqi, and seeing him nod slightly, he finally lowered the weapon aimed at Doctor Saitele's head.

Sun Cheng smiled slightly and was just about to walk over to introduce everyone to Doctor Saitele when suddenly, he felt a violent vibration in his chest. Before he could even react, he heard Bulian, who was standing guard outside the door, let out a sudden scream, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
