"Oh? Can you tell more?" Sun Hang beca interested instantly.
"Lucas, Hunter ID 0109, nickna 'The Reaper,' is a Dubhe Tower direct hunter." Yuri said, "He's a first-tier hunter, and his highest rank on the hunter leaderboard was ninth place."
"Ninth place huh..." Sun Hang was aware of only two mysterious creature hunters with rankings: one was the Dubhe Tower's high-level bodyguard, ranked ninth, 'Iron Wall'; the other was the rule-based holder 'Bao Si,' who could even entice Dragon Rock Fortress and was ranked thirty-seventh.
And this Lucas's rank was even above that of Iron Wall.
"So, what is this 'Reaper' Lucas's ability?" Sun Hang asked.
"Just like his nickna implies, he reaps life," Yuri said, "His ability is quite peculiar: whenever he uses a weapon that closely resembles a scythe in any shape, as long as it hits the target, regardless of whether it causes effective damage, this attack will absorb a portion of the target's life force and feed it back to Lucas... He is the ace Dubhe Tower uses against biological mysterious creatures, no matter how strong the creature, as long as it's biological, Lucas will restrain it."
"I think... if this guy hadn't had an accident, sending him to deal with Chira 17 would be a breeze?" Sun Hang said, "He wouldn't have to do anything, just run under that giant cocoon and scrape it bit by bit with a scythe, relying on 'true damage' to biological creatures to scrape Chira 17 to death?"
"In theory, yes... but actually..." Yuri hesitated to speak, "Sigh, it's better if you co in with and take a look yourself."
After speaking, Yuri walked to the door lock and after entering six lengthy passwords, turned to Sun Hang and said, "All individuals entering this room need iris and DNA information authentication. Blood samples will be collected during the process, please do not resist."
With that said, a laser scanned Sun Hang and Yuri from head to toe, then paused on their faces for several seconds.
"How will the blood samples be collected?" Sun Hang asked, "Aren't we supposed to remove the protective suits to avoid contaminating the containnt?"
"There's no need to remove the protective suits." Yuri shook his head.
A hidden slot on the ground opened, and two chanical arms erged. These arms respectively moved to Sun Hang and Yuri's sides, connecting the collection heads on the ends of the arms to a valve on their protective suits.
With a light "click," the collection head connected to the valve, and a cold needle penetrated the interior of the protective suit, stabbing into Sun Hang's arm.
"Identity verification completed." An AI synthesized voice ca from within the smart door lock, "Zone One containnt area supervisor, Yuri Alekseyevich Ivanov, clearance level: S-level; Celestial City registered hunter, Sun Hang, clearance level: 'Confidential'; application for entry into containnt area B423... application has been approved by Dubhe Tower's highest authority. Valve will open shortly, please step back."
"Please step back a bit." Yuri similarly advised, "Containnt zone B423 is usually maintained in an absolute vacuum state, and the instantaneous negative pressure when the valve opens might suck in those too close."
"Oh." Although Sun Hang wasn't worried about vacuum pressure, he obediently stepped back a step.
A strong suction ca from the opening valve gap, and once the internal and external pressure balanced and the suction disappeared, a fierce cold imdiately wafted out... even the temperature inside the thermally-regulated protective suit dropped a few degrees instantly.
Sun Hang glanced at the valve opening and saw the moisture in the air had already condensed into a layer of frost near the floor and door fra, which continued to spread outward.
"The temperature inside the containnt area is minus 205 degrees Celsius, please check if the protective suit's extre environnt adaptation function has automatically activated." Yuri said.
Sun Hang glanced at the display on his helt's visor; after dropping a few degrees just now, the temperature inside the protective suit quickly returned to its original constant temperature, and the temperature adjustnt device in the backpack began to emit much more noticeable noise than before.
"Please be extra cautious, try not to touch anything inside the containnt area, including the walls." Yuri said as he stepped through the valve first.
This containnt chamber's structure is sowhat similar to the Celestial City Mysterious Creature Research Institute's laboratory used for observing Chen Hongjuan. Upon entering, it's a relatively narrow corridor—except the corridor's chanism isn't hidden cabinets with protective suits and weapons, but nurous spray heads protruding from the ceiling, sides, and floor.
Through his helt, Sun Hang heard so kind of liquid spraying from these heads—once contacting the protective suit's surface, the liquid quickly solidified, forming a coating-like layer on the suit.
"Please raise your arms and alternately lift your feet for a while, aim to let the isolation liquid spray onto corners such as armpits and soles." Yuri, walking ahead, said, "After solidification, the isolation liquid forms a solid protective layer; when we exit the containnt room, this passage will clean and then peel off the solid layer."
