The Demon Hunter, like the Night Walker, is also the result of biological experiments with the help of genes from another world, and is the most "successful" among the related series of experiments.
The name "Demon Hunter" means "Devil that hunts humans" and has nothing to do with the name of its earlier laboratory project "Infantry Replacement Biological Weapons (Street Fighting Type)".
It is said that the earliest wild demon hunters escaped from a gas explosion accident in a related laboratory. Subsequently, the local military carried out arrests and exterminations. Only two of them were not found. Subsequently disclosed documents stated that both of them were triple The body is incapable of reproduction.
However, after just one active period in another world, things went sour, and demon hunting sightings and injuries began to occur in many places.
The news at this stage was still covered up until the Demon Hunt Massacre occurred. In less than two days, a small town with a population of 2,000 became a dead city, and less than one tenth of the people escaped.
That was half a year after the laboratory gas explosion accident and three years before the end.
The Demon Hunt Massacre shocked the world, and the country's army launched a large-scale siege operation. The operation was very successful, with more than 300 demon hunters killed in total that month.
At this time, most military personnel and officials had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. The researchers responsible for relevant research disappeared mysteriously. Only a few small researchers proposed something similar to conspiracy theories, and then no one could be found.
The answer was soon revealed. In the next active period of the different world, the original three different world nodes in the world suddenly increased to 28. At the same time, the demon hunters appeared in a more powerful posture and committed crimes all over the world simultaneously!
Since then, the "active period of another world" has gradually been replaced by the "demon coming to the sun".
No one is discussing whether demon hunting is a human biological weapon or belongs to another world. Every time a demon comes, the number of demon hunting will increase exponentially, and the destruction of human civilization will be close at hand.
Demon hunters were "refreshed" regularly in 28 nodes around the world and within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. When the violent machine started to work, everyone really thought there was no problem at the time.
Elena didn't remember the next part very clearly, because the news every day was very similar, how many demon hunters were killed by the army, and how many people were killed by the demon hunters.
The transformation she remembers stems from the collapse of the world's industrial chain.
An endless war was waged on 28 refresh zones with a total area of more than 10 million square kilometers. The production limits of the military industry were quickly broken through. Raw materials such as tungsten and copper were only quoted but not physically. The supply cannot keep up, and personnel training cannot keep up with the attrition. At two of the points, attempts to drop nuclear bombs failed, and there are more and more loopholes.
Various places have tried to convert civilian use into military use, but the good times probably lasted too long, the dissatisfied people were very dissatisfied, and the work was not progressing smoothly.
The discord among humans and the demon hunters will not wait, they are still increasing.
The army cannot let soldiers use knives to deal with demon hunters. In order to control the consumption of ammunition, sooner or later, all parts of the world began to reduce the fighting area.
Then there was nothing more, and soon the city where Elena lived was swept away by the demon hunter.
Other places are still resisting or looking for places to evacuate. However, as the city system gradually paralyzes, the only channel for Elena to learn external news is the radio, and she is trapped here forever. When the radio is also paralyzed, no one knows whether there is still someone in the distance. In battle.
Perhaps it was due to confirmation of victory, or for reasons that humans could not understand. After the city was bulldozed, groups of demon hunters no longer appeared in the nearest nodes, and the demon hunters gradually turned into savage-like creatures. exist, they will still attack humans, but primarily feed on wild animals.
The people in the wilderness all believe that the demon hunters are triploid and cannot survive humans. There are also a handful of people who have survived from before the disaster to the present, such as Elena, who hold other views.
As for the scorpion ants, no one knows where they came from. Maybe they came from another world, maybe another biological weapon was thrown out to delay the demon-hunting army. In short, it was after the catastrophe, and the root cause cannot be traced.
The survivors in the northern suburbs live on the border of the scorpion ants and demon hunters.
Scorpion ants can play a role in deterring demon hunters during the non-ice period, which is less than half of the year. When the temperature drops below zero, everyone can only pray.
This year's prayers clearly didn't work.
After eating two people from the caravan, the demon hunter felt that it was too difficult to find small animals to fill his stomach. He could take the risk and go to the human side. Although there was a risk of injury, he might as well give it a try.
They followed the blood stains and footprints and quickly found the caravan's foothold.
The location was ideal. It was still some distance away from the area where the humans had laid traps, so we just started.
The witcher who tried to break the window was wounded by a crossbow arrow. It was not fatal, but it was very annoying.
The people inside yelled, hoping to scare away the demon hunter, but the demon hunter ignored them and climbed directly onto the wall and onto the roof from a position without doors or windows.
The roof is made of tiles, so you can jump in without any effort.
The chaos only lasted for a while. All four people died, and the farthest one rushed dozens of meters outside the house.
Elena's family noticed something unusual, but things happened too fast, and it was dark and lacked visibility, so it was too late.
...In fact, even if they have time, they can't do anything. Demon hunters are real killing weapons. Not to mention that their home is just a temporary settlement. Even if the new home deploys some anti-demon hunt traps, at most it can only guarantee that the demon hunters are blocked. Outside the yard.
Seeing the figure who had escaped from the fire fall to the ground, Varya and others returned to the room to defend without hesitation.
The doors and windows of the small building where Elena's house is located have been reinforced by the deserters who lived there before. There is no need to worry too much, and you cannot be careless. Mom said that some demon hunters can use tools.
At night, two people worked in shifts to guard the place. After a whole night of tossing, they didn't wait for the demon hunter to attack.
Maybe it's because I'm full.
He did not act rashly. After the sun rose, he used the observation hole to observe, but found no traces of the witcher's departure.
Where are they hiding?
These cruel guys.
Helpless, the family can only stay indoors and wait for the danger to be lifted. They can't control the food reserves being consumed quickly. After all, most of the food reserves will be used in similar situations. If it's just the polar night and scorpion ants that don't go too far, , everyone doesn’t have to work so hard.
In the early morning, the demon hunter tried to break through the doors, windows and roof, but the effect was not good.
It was still the same the next day, everyone could only continue to stay in the house. The witcher tried twice more, punching several holes through the boarded-up window.
The air leakage was very irritating when the temperature was more than 20 degrees below zero, but it couldn't be repaired yet. We had to let Lin take care of her mother in a better airtight room and put a brazier outside.
On the third day, when the sun illuminated the snow, I finally saw the demon hunter's footsteps disappearing away.
For safety reasons, several people did not go out immediately. They spent the whole day repairing the house, replenishing firewood and storing water.
It wasn't until the fourth day, when it was confirmed that the demon hunter would not come back, that Varya and Shanna went to find the caravan's goods.
Originally, if the people in the caravan survived, they planned to exchange food for some goods and find a way to sell them to the Night Walkers to earn some price difference. But they were stuck for several days, and they had to get the caravan's goods before they could survive the winter safely, even if the risk was very high.
Perhaps God suddenly realized his conscience, and the process of searching for the caravan's goods went smoothly, without encountering demon hunters and their new footprints in the wild.
One harvest sled and two boxes of alcoholic saline bottles were found, and two boxes were damaged during the fighting. Only five good bottles were found, making a total of fifty-three bottles.
There were nearly half a kilogram of fried soybeans. This half kilogram was found from two pockets, and some were even picked out from the snow nearby. They should be rations for the caravan traveling, and they had obviously been chewed by the demon hunters.
There were several relics of the caravan members, including spare clothing and weapons, and a few pieces of dried meat hidden in their pockets, which totaled less than 200 grams.
Without making up for the food losses in the past few days from the caravan's inheritance, we can only hope that the alcohol can be sold.
First send your mother and the things you brought back to your new home, and then go back to transport the caravan relics and cover up the traces.
Cover up the traces, because this batch of goods may have been ordered by bandits, and people may be sent out to search. Although they did not kill the person, there is no way to reason with the bandits.
