Chapter 1524 Terrifying Hypnosis, Brainwave Intervention
"Danger!"
Having just sped across a relatively open, rocky slope at astonishing speed, Chen Jun suddenly felt a strong, needle-like tingling sensation on his scalp! This wasn't based on visual or auditory judgment, but rather an almost instinctive sensation of strong hostility and aggressive intent towards the surrounding biomagnetic field, a sensation brought about by his newly acquired "hacker hypnosis"! It was even faster than relying on experience and "hacker space" warnings in the past.
More direct, more... "biological level".
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Jun reflexively lunged to the side and forward, executing a clumsy yet effective tactical roll to hide himself behind a sufficiently thick camphor tree.
Almost at the same moment his body left the spot—
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!!"
A volley of scorching bullets whistled past the spot where he had just been standing, sending pebbles flying and dust billowing up! The bullets landed in extremely tricky spots, almost completely blocking all possible angles for him to dodge. If it weren't for that fraction of a second of warning, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"This sensitivity... is even more acute than I expected." Chen Jun leaned against the rough bark of a tree, quickly changing his magazine, silently assessing the situation. This "field sensing" of biological hostility brought about by hacker hypnosis is practically a life-saving skill in actual combat. It doesn't rely on traditional senses, directly addressing the attacker's "intent," which is of great significance in dealing with ambushes, sniper fire, and coordinated attacks.
He quickly peered ahead, observing the area in a very short time. They were very close to the base of the mountain; the vegetation was relatively sparse, exposing more of the grayish-brown rock. About fifty meters ahead was a man-made, leveled area that appeared to be a natural rock face, but Chen Jun "saw" extremely fine seams and camouflage marks—that should be one of the main entrances into the mountain, or at least an important defensive point.
However, before they could formulate an infiltration plan, that familiar, intense sense of crisis, stemming from their biomagnetic field, surged back like a tidal wave! This time, the sensation was sharper, more violent, and carried a harbinger of destructive energy!
"Rocket!"
Alarm bells rang in Chen Jun's mind. Before he could even think clearly, his body, driven by survival instinct, shot out from behind the tree like a spring compressed to its limit, and sprinted desperately toward a pile of rubble on the side of the entrance ahead! He pushed his speed to the limit, each step causing the ground to crack and crumble!
Whoosh—Boom!!!
Almost the instant he darted out, a rocket trailing a conspicuous plume shattered the brief silence of the forest and struck precisely the camphor tree where he had just been hiding!
A deafening explosion suddenly erupted! A blazing fireball instantly engulfed the tree trunk, snapping the thick tree in half. The upper half, still ablaze, crashed down, and burning branches and charcoal rained down like fire, igniting the surrounding bushes and fallen leaves! Thick smoke billowed up, and a wave of heat hit him. Even after rushing more than twenty meters away, Chen Jun could still feel the burning sensation on his back.
"Damn it... these lunatics!" Chen Jun plunged into a hollow in the pile of rocks, rolling around in the dust, and couldn't help but curse under his breath. To use a rocket launcher, a weapon with area-effect damage, right at the entrance to their own stronghold, disregarding the possibility of revealing their precise location and triggering internal structural risks, meant either the guards were in a state of extreme panic, or the enemy simply didn't care about the "surface" damage, and their internal defenses were likely far more robust than their external ones.
But who can't be crazy?
A cold glint flashed in Chen Jun's eyes, and a chilling smile curled at the corner of his lips. He didn't retaliate immediately, but instead slowly adjusted his breathing and closed his eyes. This wasn't an abandonment of observation, but rather a focus of all his attention on the newly acquired, wondrous, and powerful "hacker hypnosis."
Deep within his consciousness, countless invisible, extremely subtle "tentacles" seemed to extend outwards. These "tentacles" were not physical entities, but rather a kind of super-sensitive "probe" formed by the combination of his powerful mental strength and special biomagnetic field, which was sensitive to the surrounding electromagnetic field and bioelectric signals (especially brainwaves).
He could "sense" the heat radiation disturbances emanating from burning trees, "capture" the air fluctuations caused by the sporadic gunfire in the distance, and even vaguely "touch" several "biomagnetic field sources" behind the suspected entrance area ahead, radiating strong vigilance, killing intent, and... a trace of excitement and relaxation left after firing rocket launchers.
One of the "magnetic sources" exhibited the most active fluctuations, carrying a clear sense of gratification after emotional release, as if confirming the victory.
Chen Jun's "consciousness tentacles" silently locked onto the most prominent target. He did not attempt to "read" the other party's specific thoughts (his basic skills were not yet capable of this), but instead began to adjust the frequency of his own biomagnetic field with extreme precision, simulating a peculiar, highly suggestive and disruptive fluctuation, like ripples on water, directed to "caress" the target's magnetic field.
This fluctuation is silent, invisible, and intangible, yet it directly affects the depths of the other person's subconscious.
……
Inside the mountain, in a hidden, sturdy surveillance bunker equipped with multiple displays and firing ports.
A member of "Abyss," dressed in a black uniform and sporting a sinister grin, had just put down his still slightly warm RPG launcher. Looking through the observation slit at the burning, collapsing giant tree and the deserted area ahead, he spoke smugly into his communicator:
"The intruders should have been dealt with, right? The rocket launcher hit their hiding place directly, even if..."
His words came to an abrupt halt.
A tiny bloody hole appeared without warning between his eyebrows. The immense kinetic energy from the bullet jolted his head back violently, freezing the smug grin on his face in an instant, replaced by deathly astonishment and bewilderment. His eyes glazed over, and his body slumped backward, crashing onto the cold ground.
"puff!"
The other Abyss members in the monitoring room, who were responsible for observation and communication, had not yet reacted to the sudden interruption of their companion's words when they heard a soft sound of a bullet piercing flesh.
Immediately afterwards—
"Slap! Slap! Splat!"
Several bullets, as if emerging from thin air, precisely entered through observation holes or ventilation gaps! Each bullet seemed to have eyes, finding a terrified target and piercing their skull or chest! Blood splattered on the control panel and screen, and screams were choked in their throats.
"Intruder! The intruder isn't dead! The rocket didn't kill him! He's outside!!" Finally, someone reacted, letting out a terrified scream, scrambling to press the alarm button or look for weapons.
However, their movements and their screams seemed to move in slow motion to the survivors who were staring blankly out through the observation hole.
Their gazes were involuntarily drawn to the breathtaking scene outside.
The giant, burning tree was still toppling, flames raging, and thick smoke billowing. Against that backdrop of heat and destruction, a figure slowly stepped out from the edge of the flames and smoke.
The flames traced a flickering silhouette behind him, and billowing smoke swirled around him like a cloak. His combat uniform was covered in dust and ash, some parts even curled slightly from the intense heat, but his steps were unusually steady, so steady it was... chilling.
Especially those eyes. Through the smoke and distance, the surviving members of "Abyss" seemed to see those eyes gleaming with an inhuman, chillingly cold light against the burning background. An indescribable, almost tangible, dense aura of death accompanied each step he took, spreading like a tide, penetrating the cover, and pressing down on people's hearts.
It wasn't like a human being, but more like a death god, born from ancient myths or the deepest nightmares, bathed in flames! It was the top predator in the jungle, a ruthless and merciless reaper! Wherever it passed, even the air seemed to freeze, and life ceased.
What terrified them even more was that this man, like the Grim Reaper, continued to spit fire from his assault rifle as he moved! The muzzle flash flickered in the smoke, and bullets, like precise poison stings, struck any possible living spot near the observation pier of the bunker. Scrap shells clattered as they fell onto the scorched earth at his feet.
"Crack!"
A crisp click of the empty magazine went off. The man casually tossed the empty rifle aside, as if discarding a useless toy. His gaze, like two icicles, pierced through the smoke, fixing directly on the direction from which the survivors were hiding inside the bunker.
The distance is constantly shrinking.
Thirty meters... twenty-five meters... twenty meters...
The surviving members of "The Abyss" felt breathless, their hearts pounding as if they would explode. They wanted to fire, but their fingers trembled uncontrollably; they wanted to run, but their legs felt like lead. The fear of being targeted by a apex predator, mixed with the almost tangible killing intent emanating from its predator, completely shattered their will to fight.
In the smoke and flames, Chen Jun's eyes seemed to radiate a faint, unnatural cold light. He opened his mouth, his voice not loud, but carrying a strange penetrating power and an undeniable indifference, clearly reaching the ears of every survivor in the bunker, as if echoing directly in their minds:
"The bastards of the abyss..."
"you……"
"You can't hit me."
The sound was like a curse.
"Bang bang bang!!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the two remaining "Abyss" members inside the bunker, driven by extreme fear, pulled the trigger! Bullets rained down in Chen Jun's general direction!
However, something strange happened.
Those bullets, though clearly aimed at Chen Jun, seemed to be gently deflected by an invisible force at the last moment, or perhaps his seemingly steady steps could always be adjusted with the smallest possible amplitude at the critical moment.
The bullets grazed his clothes, passed by his side, and struck the scorched earth or rocks behind him, scattering sparks and dust.
Not a single one could touch his body.
The two men who fired the shots stared wide-eyed, their pupils shrinking to pinpoints in extreme horror.
The scene before them began to distort and blur. The figure moving against the flow of bullets seemed to have truly transformed into a grim reaper, invincible against ordinary weapons. Every step he took seemed to pound on their heartbeats, and every bullet that missed its mark seemed to mock their powerlessness, deepening the fear that emanated from the depths of their souls.
Of course they didn't know.
At this distance of less than twenty meters, under the influence of Chen Jun's powerful mental field and the deliberately created atmosphere of terrifying killing intent, they had already been unknowingly affected by the silent and all-pervasive "hacker hypnosis".
The directional biomagnetic field fluctuations released by Chen Jun, like the slightest electric current, interfered with their already fragile brainwaves under tension, amplified their fear, distorted their spatial awareness and distance judgment, and even slightly interfered with their muscle fine-tuning when aiming.
This is not magic, but a hacking technique based on top-tier biotechnology and mental power, targeting the vulnerable human brain, akin to a dimensional reduction attack.
Looking at the two enemies inside the bunker, their guns flailing wildly and their faces filled with despair, Chen Jun knew that the initial effects of the hypnosis had been achieved. The seeds of fear had been sown and were growing rapidly.
