Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 655 - 177: Invincibility Through Speed

Two technicians in engineering-powered exoskeletons carried over a metal cylinder about half as tall as a person. One side of the cylinder had a sizable observation window. Through this window, Shinkata Misaki could be seen curled up inside the cylinder, wearing a specially made anti-G suit, tilting her neck and staring at Sun Hang through the three-layer composite material window.

She had regained her original appearance and body. Her slim figure was tightly wrapped in the anti-G suit, with dozens of hoses connected to the interfaces on the suit. The other end was linked to the life support system at the bottom of the cylinder—the entire cylinder was filled with a viscous liquid called "Deep Diving Life Medium," which not only filled the cylinder but also Shinkata Misaki's airways, alveoli, and even her blood vessels. This liquid safeguarded her bones, blood vessels, and internal organs under high G-force, protecting them from being crushed or compressed by that terrifying force.

Upon seeing Sun Hang, Shinkata Misaki opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but no sound could emerge from her throat, filled with the "Deep Diving Life Medium." She instinctively tried to make a gesture, but immediately realized her arms were crossed and fixed in front of her chest by the specially made anti-G suit, no different from a restraining jacket, leaving her unable to move.

Helpless, Shinkata Misaki could only blink and then gave Sun Hang a fierce look.

"What? Regretting it?" Sun Hang squatted down and tapped on the observation window of the cylinder, "If you regret it now, there's still a chance... Blink three times quickly, and I'll let you out."

Shinkata Misaki widened her eyes without blinking once.

The "Deep Diving Life Medium," which had a texture similar to egg whites, could replace blood to deliver oxygen to all organs in the body. It also provided the necessary nutrients and water for human life activities. Immersed in this liquid, even if Shinkata Misaki kept her eyes wide open, they wouldn't feel dry.

"This is really the last chance," Sun Hang said again, "If you're afraid of dying, you'd better blink."

Shinkata Misaki immediately made a spitting gesture toward Sun Hang, but only a small string of fine bubbles escaped from between her lips, dissolving quickly into the life medium.

"Since you're not using the PFDA, you'll have to figure out how to mount this thing on yourself," Song Yarong said to Sun Hang, "The exterior of the container has reinforced lifting rings and buckles, all standard interfaces. They can be hung on a tactical vest or secured inside the aircraft cargo bay... As for how you want to bring her along for the mission, that's up to your personal preference."

Sun Hang circled the cylinder once, then laid the heavy cylinder, weighing over a hundred kilograms, flat and sprawled atop it, clinging to it like an octopus.

Several fixing straps woven from fungal silk extended from Sun Hang's body, threading through the lifting rings on the cylinder's exterior.

This might look a bit comical, but it was indeed the most stable position, least likely to separate due to external forces.

"I always feel that your posture looks like you're in love with this metal barrel," Wang Xiyi couldn't help but comment, "Especially knowing that there's also a beautiful girl inside it, your posture seems even more perverted."

"Perverted or not, I just think this isn't aerodynamic enough, maybe it could be improved a bit..." Sun Hang pondered for a moment and then snapped his fingers.

Liquid metal, like mercury, flowed out, enveloping both Sun Hang and the metal cylinder he was embracing inside.

Seconds later, an unpowered spindle-shaped metal flying device appeared on Garuda's deck, shining like a silver torpedo from afar.

"This thing should be better than that PFDA design of yours, right?" The top of the metal flying device retained only an opening just enough for Sun Hang to stick his head out to talk with Song Yarong.

"I admit it in terms of aerodynamic performance, but the challenges of PFDA design lie in personnel safety, structural strength, and emergency braking... Oh right, I almost overlooked the most critical propulsion issue... If I could fit someone like you in every PFDA, I wouldn't have to go to such efforts," Song Yarong said. "By the way, with you like this, what about the fungal silk components for the other PFDAs?"

"What about?" The side of the metal flying device suddenly rippled like water, then Sun Hang's right hand penetrated this "water" surface, and hundreds of strands of fungal silk rose from his palm, completing a standard PFDA component in the blink of an eye.

"Sometimes I really envy your convenient abilities." Having said that, Song Yarong let the technicians responsible for PFDA maintenance take the fungal silk components and install them on the remaining eight PFDAs.

With the fungal silk components installed, the newly awakened production model Hunters were also all in place. Song Yarong quickly retreated behind the safety line, tightened the drawstrings of her cold protection suit at the collar, and gave Sun Hang an OK hand gesture.

Sun Hang returned the same gesture, immediately lowering his head, pulling his hand back inside the metal flying device. The surface of the entire device instantly became seamless, leaving not even a crack.

"Launch," Song Yarong commanded resolutely to the technician in charge of igniting the thrusters.
