Trickster Hunter

Chapter 252 The second large-scale activity of strange things

…

Sun Hang, who had been busy all night, did not go home, but borrowed a sleeping bag from Yang Qi and made do with it on the sofa in the office. In Sun Hang's original words, "Director Yang, the sound of your keyboard typing when you work overtime is more helpful than white noise."

When Sun Hang opened his eyes again, the time displayed on the bracelet was almost noon. He looked up and saw Yang Qi sitting behind the desk opposite, eating a box lunch with a wooden expression, and another box lunch that had not been opened was placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"Why do you look so stern? Is there something wrong with Jiang Yu?" Sun Hang got out of the warm sleeping bag and put on his coat.

Yang Qi looked up at Sun Hang and said slowly: "Your mobile phone can connect to the intranet of Tianshu Tower, see for yourself."

"Huh?"

Sun Hang half-believed and half-doubtedly took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket and connected to the intranet of Tianshu Tower.

The headline of the important news section of the intranet read: "At 6:27 last night, the strange creature (temporary number B77) Death Aurora landed in Baikal City."

"Baikal City?" Sun Hang repeated the place name, "Why does it sound familiar?"

"The capital of the Siberian Autonomous State, the largest city in the East Siberian Plain of the Xiazhou Federation, with a population of 9.2 million." Yang Qi stopped eating.

Sun Hang clicked on the message, and at the beginning were several shocking photos - the gorgeous aurora fell from the sky, burning everything it touched, and the whole city turned into a huge sea of ​​fire.

The photo seemed to be taken from a distant mountain, and the bird's-eye view could clearly see the tragic situation in the city... In the face of such a sudden natural disaster, no one could escape... The victims could not even leave their bones.

"The falling aurora lasted for 45 seconds in the city and then disappeared." Yang Qi added on the side.

The next photo was a picture of Baikal after the aurora ravaged the city. The traces of human civilization were almost completely wiped out, leaving only a charred pit. In the pit, some areas even showed signs of vitrification.

"It looks like... it was hit by a Tsar bomb." Sun Hang said.

"According to the analysis of the Tianshu Tower, the essence of Yiqishiqi is a plasma with a temperature of more than 17 million degrees Celsius... You can almost think of it as a small sun falling in Baikal." Yang Qi said, "Nothing can withstand such ultra-high temperatures. Before Yiqishiqi really came into contact with Baikal, the city's buildings had been burned to ashes."

"Aurora usually only appears in the sky at an altitude of hundreds of kilometers." Yang Lian pushed open the door of the office and placed several black folders on her sister's desk. "But Yiqishiqi is different. It is not an aurora at all, but a phenomenon-like weird thing similar to the aurora... It is summer now, and the aurora cannot be seen even in Siberia in this season."

"Are you also paying attention to this matter?" Sun Hang glanced at Yang Lian and asked.

"No one in the institute is not paying attention to this matter now." Yang Lian said in a deep voice, "The threat of Yi Qishiqi is much higher than Yongye... After all, the latter will not let a city evaporate in just a few tens of seconds."

"After Yi Qishiqi disappeared, Tianshu Tower sent several teams to the former Baikal City area to investigate, but without exception, all humans who entered the area were infected by the weird meme, and the infected were not immune... That place has become a highly dangerous contaminated area, a real 'death place'."

"It sounds like the radiation zone left after a nuclear bomb explosion." Sun Hang said subconsciously.

"Almost the same, but the meme contaminated area is far more dangerous than the radiation area." Yang Lian sighed, "Those teams that entered the contaminated area all carried the most advanced protective equipment and anti-infection drugs, but it was completely useless."

The "anti-infection drugs" mentioned by Yang Lian are special drugs used by humans to prevent meme infection. They are essentially the product of reverse editing of meme fragments. After taking them for a period of time, they can neutralize the weird memes that enter the human body... But there is no panacea in the world that can cure all diseases, and anti-infection drugs cannot neutralize all memes.

"It seems that this area should be classified as a occupied area." Sun Hang said, "The pollution is so serious that even if it can be recovered, it loses the meaning of reconstruction."

"The key point is not this..." Yang Qi sighed, "If it is just a single weird disaster, it's okay, the problem is..."

"What is it about?" Sun Hang asked.

"Baikal City is located in the northeast corner of the Federation. It was destroyed by the rampage of B-77. Tianfu City is located in the southwest corner of the Federation. Under the cover of the eternal night, its future is uncertain... Do you know what this means?" Yang Qi said seriously.

"Does it mean... the Federation is now suffering from sores on its head and pus on its feet - rotten to the bone?"

"It means that the second large-scale activity period of strange creatures... may be coming." Yang Qi sighed, "The end of the first large-scale activity period of strange creatures was that the human civilization spread all over the world was left with only the Xiazhou Federation... If the first activity period was extended for a few more decades, I'm afraid even the Xiazhou Federation would not be left."

"Are you trying to say that human civilization is going to end?" Sun Hang blinked.

"I didn't say that..." Yang Qi glared at Sun Hang, "At the end of the first period of large-scale activity of monsters, the frequency of monster activity dropped significantly. That kind of super monster was so destructive that it could destroy a city instantly. The monsters also disappeared, and human civilization had a chance to breathe... During this period of time, although there were still invasions of monsters from time to time, there were no super monsters like Yi 77 at all. There have been... I'm very worried that this incident in Baikal is just the beginning..."

"I think we should be lucky." Sun Hang suddenly said.

"Luckily... why?" Yang Lian was stunned for a moment and asked immediately.

"According to the principle that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, since Tianfu City has been shrouded in eternal night, the probability of a super monster like Yi Qishi coming to Tianfu City will be much smaller... It seems that Tianfu City is the first unlucky guy. In fact, Tianfu City picked out the 'lower lot' that wasn't that bad out of a lot of them."

"..." Yang Qi pursed her lips. She wanted to complain about Sun Hang's fallacy, but when she thought about it carefully, what this guy said seemed to make some sense...

This is a bit like the "crater theory" - on a battlefield with heavy artillery fire, the probability of two artillery shells landing in the same place is very low. It is for this reason that the crater just blown up by the artillery shell is actually being replaced by another shell. After coming down for a while, it will become a relatively safe hiding place.

If monsters invade the control area of ​​​​human civilization and require "division of troops", then in the Shuzhou area, it is obvious that "Yongye" will be responsible for the "main attack" - if super monsters are to be invested in the future, the super monsters will be deployed. It is obviously a "waste of troops" to put the monsters in the Shuzhou area...

"Damn it, I actually think what you said makes sense." Yang Lian gritted his teeth and said, "It must be because I don't have enough sleep..."

"Your underdeveloped breasts may also be due to lack of sleep." Sun Hang joked, "But your sister obviously stays up much more late at night than you do, so why won't she be affected?"

Sun Hang looked at the two sisters. They were obviously about the same height, fat and thin. How could one have the ambition of a D or even close to an E, while the other could barely even reach a B?

Could it be a genetic mutation?

"It's already this time, how can you still be in the mood to make such a joke?" Yang Lian said angrily.

"It's precisely because this is the time that we have to make this kind of joke." Sun Hang said, "Worrying unfounded will not help change the status quo, nor will sighing with a straight face... If you are really nervous, I suggest you go It might be a lot more comfortable to hit the sandbag in the gym for a while.”

"I don't have that time." Yang Qi said, "But you are right about one thing. Random thoughts will not help the current situation... According to you, Tianfu City will be attacked by super evil forces in the future. It is the city with the lowest probability of being attacked by an object... From this point of view, it seems that Tianshu Tower has set up a comprehensive talent training base here..."

"Was it wrong?" Yang Lian answered.

"No, it's not a surprise." Yang Qi quickly denied her sister's statement, "Mr. Pei must have anticipated the coming of the second large-scale active period of strange things... Instead of setting up the training base in places that may suffer from things like It would be better to put the city hit by super monsters like Yi Qishi to Shuzhou, which has been invaded by Yongye... As expected of Mr. Pei..."

"You're a little bit enlightened." Sun Hang glanced at her, "Old Man Pei's original idea was to use the Yongye environment to train outstanding front-line talents. If it was really to avoid the attack of super monsters, what would he do? Why not just move the entire Tianshu Tower to Tianfu City?"

"Regardless of the reason, the construction of the comprehensive talent training base must be accelerated..." Yang Qi paused for a moment, and then muttered in a voice that Sun Hang could barely hear, "What if Chunming City is attacked by a super monster... …”

"Then we will really become the last hope of human civilization." Sun Hang continued her words, "Maybe what we are holding in our hands is the script of a savior hero."

"I hope this day never comes..." Yang Qi murmured.

"Then don't set this flag." Sun Hang glanced at the cold lunch box on the coffee table, and took out the big chicken drumstick inside, "Here, I'll give you a drumstick, and I'll continue to fuck you after eating it." It’s a job.”

"I've eaten."

"Eat more, you will be more energetic when you stay up late." Sun Hang couldn't help but stuff the chicken drumstick into Yang Qi's mouth, and then pushed open the office door.

"You...where are you going?" Yang Qi took the chicken leg out of her mouth and asked.

"Go to the construction site." Sun Hang said without looking back, "Now that we have talked about it to this point, we must be fully prepared, right? What if we really become the 'last hope' that is unlucky? You can’t just lie down and spread out, right?”

To be honest, in Sun Hang's heart, he still wanted to show off.

But if human beings are completely destroyed, even if he can survive... then the world will probably become extremely boring, right?

Sun Hang doesn't like weird things. They either can't communicate or like to play riddles. In comparison, he still prefers to deal with humans.

What's more, that old man Pei from Tianshu Tower still owes him an all-you-can-eat buffet... If a super monster destroys Chunming City, wouldn't it be equivalent to overturning his dining table?

Can you fucking bear this?

…

…

Siberian Autonomous Region, 40 kilometers south of the former Baikal City area.

A whole row of modular barracks has been built on the tundra, countless vehicles are entering and exiting the camp, the noise of helicopter propeller blades seems to have never stopped, one after another steel structure tower has been erected, and the huge bowl-shaped radar antenna is hoisted into the air by a drone, and then installed on the top of the tower by engineers.

The fisherman standing on a watchtower looked at the busy soldiers in the barracks and couldn't help but sigh.

He couldn't help but feel a little lucky in his heart, fortunately he couldn't save much money on weekdays...

He originally planned to bring his family from the port city in the Far East to Baikal City when he saved enough money... And what happened more than ten hours ago made the fisherman sigh secretly... It turns out that spending money lavishly is sometimes not a bad thing.

Thirty minutes ago, the seventh contaminated zone exploration team "lost contact" with the headquarters - the last image sent back by the drone of the front observation post was that the exploration team members were running like crazy in the contaminated zone. As they ran, things kept falling from their bodies... Those falling things seemed to be rotten flesh falling off the surface of the body, but these rotten flesh seemed to have turned into a new life form. They were wriggling on the ground and chasing their "original owners" relentlessly.

The fisherman opened his mobile phone and took a look at the list of the exploration team. He felt that there was nothing wrong with changing the MIA to KIA... They couldn't come back alive, absolutely impossible.

The current maximum time limit for ordinary people to enter the contaminated zone is thirty-seven minutes - that guy found himself an infected person at thirty-eight minutes, and then his consciousness fell into confusion at forty-two minutes. At forty-five minutes, he took the initiative to cut off the communication with the headquarters, and then at forty-nine minutes, he used the weapons he carried to blow up the observation drone following behind him.

As for the hunters... they have sent a total of six hunters to the contaminated area - two of them turned into strange skeletons, two of them completely transformed into humanoid monsters, and two of them strangely merged into one in the big pit.

"The exploration team... might as well be called the death squad." The fisherman murmured, "No, it should be the suicide squad."

The headquarters has decided not to send personnel to the contaminated area for the time being... but even drones can hardly reach the core area of ​​the former Baikal City.
