#616 - Chapter 614: Hunter Team - Part 2
“No need to go, Old Pig. Someone will come to fix it in a bit. It’s nothing serious.”
Headhunter – Cheng Tou pressed the remote control button on the Pig-Hunting Wheelchair and forcibly brought him back to his side.
Then, he turned his gaze to Yan Cheng, who was looking at him, making the long-haired painter, who was standing extremely straight, tense up even more.
Don't look at me, don't look at me, don't look at me...
Yan Cheng was extremely flustered at this moment.
This handsome old man wearing a monocle is the vice-captain of the Hunter Squad – Headhunter. When Hong Wei isn't in charge, he is the brain and commander of the entire squad, and is extremely intelligent.
His superpower, “Tracing Origins,” allows him to directly see the events that happened to a person or place by observing the surrounding clues.
For example, if he looks at your hand today, he can tell what you touched before.
If he looks long enough, he can even tell how many times you washed your hands this year and how many tissues you touched with your hands...
As a parent, teacher, or elder, this superpower is very unfriendly to his juniors. It's as if everything you do is under his gaze, and you can't hide anything.
Secretly watching TV?
Impossible!
Yan Cheng was in this state at this moment, fearing that this Sherlock Holmes-like Di Renjie, even more so than Conan, would discover something.
Previously, when they were in the territory of the Merman Clan, he only observed for three days and deduced the entire history of the Merman Clan from prosperity to decline. It was extremely terrifying.
The Hunter Squad's explorations, tracking, and even escapes are mostly completed under his control.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to have never lost a member in the past thirty years.
“Little Yan, can you call Little Tan over? She seems to have forgotten to return the underground architecture she took away, which might cause this place to collapse.”
“Yes!”
Yan Cheng shouted loudly and quickly took out his phone and held it in front of him to contact Tan Zuoyin.
I really want to turn around!
But wouldn't turning around make me look too guilty? What if this gray-haired grandpa looks at me a few more times?
Dead hands, hurry up and press!
Feeling that his body was straighter than rebar, Yan Cheng endured the trembling and finally sent a message to Tan Zuoyin.
Good sister-in-law, reply quickly!
I really don't want to make a phone call in front of these grandpas!
Fortunately, Tan Zuoyin replied instantly:
[Coming right away]
“Report! She’ll be here in a moment!”
Yan Cheng immediately put his phone in his pocket and shouted loudly.
Why didn't anyone tell me before that the pressure of facing these old men is so great!
Qi Jing, who do you usually deal with?!
“Good boy, you stand at military posture quite well.”
A bald grandpa with an even straighter body patted Yan Cheng on the back and praised him, almost knocking him to the ground.
Yan Cheng took a small step forward and quickly retracted his foot to stand straight again.
He glanced at the grandpa with the extremely shiny scalp out of the corner of his eye, Hunter Gun – Zi Shu of the Hunter Squad.
As the name suggests, this is not his real name.
According to online information, he, like Teacher Cen Xi, is also an orphan. After participating in the superpower training unit in the army, he obtained this code name and treated it as his own name.
As for his real name, he only remembers it when he needs to use his ID card and passport.
After training in the army for two years, he was taken away by Hong Wei and became the long-range output of their team.
However, his superpower is not “Gunner,” but “Artilleryman,” a very simple damage-dealing skill.
The reason why he is called Hunter Gun is simply because Hunter Cannon doesn't sound good.
But as a member of the Hunter Squad, the superpower he possesses is not that simple.
Other “Gunners” can only increase the power of firearms, quickly adapt to various firearms, and at most have unlimited bullets (cannon) shells, etc.
But in addition to these abilities, he also has a unique skill.
Body as Cannon!
The meaning of listening is to turn himself into a cannon, which doesn't seem very powerful.
But the cannon he transforms into has a characteristic – special shells.
He can obtain shells with certain characteristics by bombarding others and launch them.
For example, after he bombards a healing superpower user, he can use shells with healing properties. The shells he fires are no longer damage, but healing.
Bombarding Hong Wei can obtain shells that can absorb blood.
Bombarding Cheng Tou can obtain shells that can track.
Bombarding Huangfu Changkong can obtain shells that can fire lasers during the firing process and also scatter lasers when exploding.
Bombarding Lü Dongbin can obtain very durable shells that cannot be exploded no matter what and can also withstand part of the damage for the person being hit.
......
However, there are two shortcomings.
First, the cannon he transforms into cannot move by himself and needs to be operated by others. Therefore, if he acts alone without equipment, even Yan Cheng may not be able to beat him.
Second, he cannot use other special shells to extract when extracting special shells.
In other words, if he wants to obtain shells related to the other party's abilities, he must bombard the other party firmly.
Therefore, before the appearance of the inheritance series of props, he could not be separated from healing superpower users at all, and the other party must have a relatively strong body.
Even with the inheritance props, it must be used in conjunction with the Recall Ring and the Return Talisman, which is very expensive.
“Boy, dare to withstand a cannon from me?”
Hearing Hunter Gun's words, Yan Cheng shook his head frantically like an epileptic:
“I dare not!”
But because he was too nervous, he only managed to utter two words, causing Song Jiang and Miao Kui, who were secretly listening and pretending to study next to him, couldn't help but laugh.
“How old are you, still scaring children? If you ask me, you should bombard that Xing Long with a cannon later and see what kind of shells you can get.”
The last hunter, Hunter Fox – Qing Jiehu, clapped the fan in his hand.
In contrast to the other six hunters who looked like old grandpas, his appearance was extremely young. Judging by his appearance alone, he was only about twenty-nine years old.
Yan Cheng glanced at him secretly.
Well, he admits that this uncle is a little bit more handsome than himself.
In fact, his age can be ranked at the forefront of the Hunter Squad, but he can maintain such a young appearance entirely because of his superpower.
However, his superpower has not been made public.
As the world's most well-known and strongest squad, the Hunter Squad must always have an unfathomable character to prevent being targeted and attacked by others.
And a “young man” mixed among the elderly makes them even more unpredictable.
No one knows what his superpower is. Even if someone has seen it, Pig Hunter will forcibly erase their memories about Hunter Fox's superpower.
This also ensures that those who dare to attack them must always consider such an unstable and uncertain factor, greatly limiting their plans.
“Old Hong, I heard from Little Tongtong that they want to train with us, is that true?”
