Trickster Hunter

Chapter 321 Return to Chunming City

…

Two hours later.

Tianfu City Weird Research Institute, "Pesticide Plan" Command Center.

"Although we successfully recaptured Factory 105, it is not a victory at all." Yang Qi said seriously, "We lost a senior hunter and all the staff in Factory 105, and the progress of meme reverse engineering has also been delayed..."

"I only care about how long it will take for Factory 105 to resume operation?" the military representative asked, "The losses that have been caused cannot be recovered, but we can't let those people's sacrifices become meaningless."

"We have just completed the inventory of the factory park, and it takes time for management personnel, workers and security personnel to arrange... It will take at least four hours to restart the production line." Yang Qi replied.

"Will it have a big impact on the entire plan?" the military representative asked again.

"Not much... because Chimera 17's own hatching progress has also slowed down, and the two are basically the same." Yang Qi said, "But what we are worried about now is that Chimera 17 will copy the attack on Factory 105..."

"Then increase the production lines of everything several times, and use several times the saturated output to minimize the impact after the attack... This is also the only way." A young man wearing a Federal Parliament badge and an executive jacket, but looking no more than 30 years old, said, "The Federal Parliament will fully support the pesticide plan, and we will try our best to meet your requirements."

"We are already doing this." Yang Qi sighed, "But Sun Hang reminded me before that there is only one link in the whole plan that cannot be replaced."

"Which link?" The young man asked immediately.

"The reverse engineering team... those top talents in the industry, their value cannot be quantified with numbers. If something goes wrong with them, no matter how many resources are invested, the plan cannot be implemented." Yang Qi said, "We have already deployed a large number of defense forces near the laboratory... More than 90% of the elite combat forces in the entire Shuzhou area are here."

"I will apply to the parliament to mobilize another group of hunters." The young man nodded, "I will call the parliamentarians now."

...

On the other side, Sun Hang, who was on a special flight, could vaguely see the outline of Chunming City under the clouds through the porthole on his side.

Although it was not the first time to overlook Chunming City from the air, as the first miracle in the history of human architecture in the new century, every time I saw Chunming City, I could still feel the shock from the heart.

I just don't know... if this city turned into ashes, what a spectacular scene it would be.

Such a thought suddenly flashed through Sun Hang's mind, and he was so scared that he closed his eyes immediately, instantly clearing all the distracting thoughts in his mind.

This is not because Sun Hang is worried that he may accidentally trigger the ability of "wishes come true" and really burn Chunming City to ashes... Given the scale of Chunming City, even if Sun Hang is exhausted, he probably can't burn down one of the communities.

He is afraid that the mysterious meme in his body will take his outrageous thoughts that flashed by as real thoughts and really exhaust himself...

"You seemed a little nervous just now?" Ling Xiao, who was sitting in the next seat, glanced at Sun Hang and asked.

"I'm afraid of heights." Sun Hang said casually.

"Then why don't you close the window?" Ling Xiao was a little confused.

"It would be a pity not to see an architectural wonder like Chunming City." Sun Hang unbuckled his seat belt and stood up, motioning Ling Xiao to change seats with him, "Is this your first time seeing Chunming City?"

"No, I've seen it many times on TV." Ling Xiao sat in the window seat, looking at the magnificent city below through the porthole, and said expressionlessly.

"I mean the real thing, the real thing!"

"First time."

"Do you think it's magnificent?"

"Yes." Ling Xiao said.

But the expression on his face gave people a feeling of "nothing special".

"Give me the gun." Sun Hang stretched out his hand to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, then pulled out the "God-killing Spear" and placed it in Sun Hang's palm.

"I'll keep it for you for a while, and I'll give it back to you after you finish the examination." Sun Hang put the pistol into his pocket and said.

He did not intend to tell the secret of the "God-killing Spear" to Tianshu Tower - if Tianshu Tower knew the ability of the "God-killing Spear", it was hard to guarantee that they would not use Ling Xiao as some kind of "kill one thousand enemies and lose one thousand of their own" secret weapon... Even if they did not intend to put Ling Xiao into actual combat, he and the "God-killing Spear" could not escape the fate of being repeatedly studied.

Sun Hang did not care about the fate of people who had nothing to do with him, but he was still quite protective of his own people.

His trip to Chunming City was mainly to patronize the Tianshu Tower's inventory of strange things and see if there were any good things worth swallowing. In addition, after reading the memories of Ling Xiao and Jiang Yu, Sun Hang also knew that Ling Xiao had a high probability of becoming a psychic, and a very rare type of ability - after asking Zhong Ling, Sun Hang also knew that there was indeed a "Psychic Management Department" in Tianshu Tower that Lilith mentioned, so he planned to take Ling Xiao for a check-up to confirm whether his peculiar perception ability was a real psychic or just "luck".

Sun Hang also asked Yang Qi about superpowers, but unfortunately, Yang Qi was only limited to "knowing the existence of superpowers". She couldn't tell anything in more detail.

After all, weird objects and superpowers belong to two completely different fields with very little in common. As the saying goes, there are specializations in the arts. Yang Qi, who has chosen the direction of weird object research, naturally has no extra energy. and time to study another field.

Unlike the infected, the number of superpowers is very small, so unlike all the cities in the federation that have weird research institutes, there is only one authoritative research institute for superpowers, and that is the "superpower research institute" affiliated with Tianshu Tower. A competent management department.”

"If I am determined to be a person with superpowers, will they let me stay here?" Ling Xiao suddenly asked.

"Not sure, I might ask you to cooperate in a series of experiments... But after all, you joined the field department of the Tianfu City Monster Research Institute first. Even if they want to poach people, they have to take into account the wheelchair... and take care of the old man. For the director's sake. If it doesn't work, I can use my authority to find a way to get you out," Sun Hang said.

However, this recruitment is limited to the identity of superpowers - Zhong Ling told Sun Hang that the superpower management department is very loose in the management of superpowers. Compared with the monster hunters, almost all superpowers are They are "employed" by the management department of superpowers on a contract basis, and they have the right to choose and reject the tasks of the department on their own.

Once the ability of the "God-killing Spear" is discovered, it won't just be the superpower management department involved.

Maybe even old man Pei will be alarmed.

Sun Hang can use his authority to veto the decision of the superpower management department, but if Old Man Pei is determined to keep Ling Xiao... Then if he wants to protest, he may have to break up with Tianshu Tower.

Sun Hang put his hand into his pocket and wrapped the entire gun with liquid metal. At the same time, he also used the ability of "Wishes Come True" to impose a "seal" on the God-killing Gun to isolate memetic fluctuations—— Now this gun looks perfect from the outside. It's just an ordinary pistol "simulated" with liquid metal. Even if you put it under the monitoring instrument and scan it repeatedly, the only thing that can be scanned is the meme of the mysterious liquid metal, not the god-killing gun. A meme of its own.

"Okay." Ling Xiao nodded, "I want to stay in Tianfu City."

"Why?" This time it was Sun Hang's turn to be confused, "You can't even see the sun in that place, and you have to face dangerous monsters all the time... The temperature is freezing, supplies are in short supply, and you can't even eat much food. It’s all fresh and canned food, why would you want to stay in Tianfu City?”

"Because I met that self-proclaimed god in Tianfu City." Ling Xiao said, "But I never believe that there is a god in this world... Even if there is a god, the god is not on the side of us humans."

"..." Sun Hang suddenly felt that perhaps it was Ling Xiao's obsession that led to the birth of the "God-Killing Spear".

The altitude of the plane began to decrease, the surrounding clouds quickly swept upward, and a floating platform slowly came up.

With a slight shaking, the plane stopped steadily on the floating platform.

"The floating port is too small." Sun Hang said to Ling Xiao, "The last time I came here, I opened a hole in the runway. I later heard Yang Qi say that it took a lot of money just to repair the big hole. At least more than 100 million banknotes.”

The apron sank into the hangar, and the floating port returned to its original position, seamlessly embedded into the Taiwei top-floor building complex. The only two passengers on the special flight got out of the plane's door.

Sun Hang didn't bring any luggage this time. He put his hands in his pockets and looked at the group of white coats who came to pick him up with interest. Ling Xiao, who was following him, dragged a small suitcase and glanced seriously around the defense facilities, monitoring systems and emergency escape routes inside the hangar.

"This time... shouldn't a group of special forces suddenly appear and shoot tranquilizer bombs at me?" Sun Hang asked the leader in the white coat.

"Of course not..." The man in the white coat looked a little embarrassed, "The last time, it was the content of the promotion trial..."

"Which one of you is from the superpower management department?" Sun Hang asked again.

"Hello, my name is Sun Qiong, and I am the deputy leader of the No. 1 Working Group of the Superpower Management Department." A young woman with long shawl hair and rimless glasses stood up, "My electronic business card It has just been transferred to your bracelet."

"Ling Xiao, you can follow her later." Sun Hang said, looking at Sun Qiong again, "After the examination, remember to return the person to me intact!"

"Of course." Sun Qiong said quickly, "The inspection process will not cause any harm to the human body. It is just some special inspection items that require the cooperation of the person being inspected to complete."

"If you can cooperate, try your best to cooperate. If you can't, just call me and tell me." Sun Hang patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead."

"Yeah." Ling Xiao dragged his suitcase towards Sun Qiong.

The two quickly left the hangar on a small floating shuttle bearing the Tianshu Tower logo.

Although the headquarters of the superpower management department is inside the Tianshu Tower, their experimental site is in another city. According to Sun Hang's request, they will take Ling Xiao directly for inspection, and after the inspection is completed, he will be sent to Return to the floating port.

"It's a special period, time is tight, Tianfu City is short of manpower, Ling Xiao is an important combat force in the field department, and I hope all procedures can be simplified." - These are Sun Hang's original words.

As for Sun Hang himself, after making a phone call with Old Man Pei, he didn't plan to meet with Old Man Pei - there was nothing to talk about anyway. It's better to save time and let these white coats take him to the "buffet restaurant" directly, and leave quickly after eating, in case Chimera 17 does something weird in Tianfu City during his absence.

The air shuttle that Sun Hang and his friends took was slightly larger. In addition to the driver's seat, the seats in the back could just accommodate six people including Sun Hang. Accompanied by a slight push back, the air shuttle rushed out of a pipe directly and drilled into the airspace between Taiweiyuan and Ziweiyuan.

The air shuttle did not stay in the air for a long time, but quickly found a suspension track, used a magnetic suction device to absorb itself on the track, and slid along the track quickly.

This kind of air shuttle is called an aircraft, but in fact it is more like a small maglev train with the ability to fly for a short time. There are a large number of movable suspension tracks above Taiweiyuan, Ziweiyuan and Tianshiyuan. Under the coordination of the Chunming City Traffic Control Center, these air shuttles can travel through the densely built Chunming City area at a speed comparable to that of high-speed rail, and deliver passengers to their destination at the fastest speed.

Of course, those who can take this kind of air shuttle are either rich or noble - it is not the air shuttle itself that is expensive, but these suspension tracks built specifically for the air shuttle, as well as a large number of supporting facilities behind the track system.

This is the second time Sun Hang has taken the air shuttle... The last time was when he heard that Wang Xiyi was in trouble and decided to return to Tianfu City overnight with Yang Qi.

The air shuttle is very fast. In less than ten minutes, Sun Hang has already stood in front of the "Jade Pillar".

"The strange object storage area of ​​Tianshu Tower is at the bottom of the 'Jade Pillar'." The white-coated leader said, "Although you have obtained the highest level of permission, we still cannot skip some necessary security procedures... Of course, this is also for your personal safety."
