Trickster Hunter

Chapter 27 Breakfast

"Let's get something to eat first..." Sun Hang thought to himself.

As for the search and rescue operation and the missing people, he was not in a hurry anyway - Sun Hang had no good feelings towards those guys, and even had disgust... What did their life and death have to do with him?

After all, when those guys gave orders, they never took the lives of temporary investigators seriously... Now that someone of the same level as him was in trouble, he knew he was anxious?

"There's no use in being anxious." Sun Hang muttered softly, stood up, parked the SUV in an open-air parking space, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly towards the commercial district.

...

Former South City Cemetery, inside the abnormal area.

The pointer on the dial was approaching five o'clock, but there was no sign of dawn here. The deep night, against the backdrop of the blood moon, was like a thick piece of crimson velvet, covering the entire sky tightly.

A temporary outpost was set up. From time to time, the wails of the wounded could be heard from several white tents with red cross signs. On a light truck in the corner of the camp, a row of bodies covered with white cloth lay.

Yang Qi sat on a folding chair, staring at the tablet in her hand with a frown. At the cost of more than 20 lives, the scope of the abnormal area was finally discovered. In addition to the cemetery in the south of the city, the barren mountains in the northwest, the stream area in the south, and an abandoned village in the east were all "replaced" to the appearance of 65 years ago.

"Tsk... The impact range is much larger than expected..."

Yang Qi sighed, and at this moment, the mobile phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

"Hello? Tianfu City Weird Research Institute, Yang Qi." She picked up the phone and answered the call.

"How is the rescue operation going?" The other end of the receiver was a majestic middle-aged male voice. Yang Qi recognized this voice - the caller was the second-in-command of the Tianfu City Management Committee. The power he held in his hands could be described as "one person above ten thousand people" within the scope of Tianfu City.

"The scope of the abnormal area has been explored, but there are many casualties. We are currently resting in the camp and waiting for the second round of survey after dawn." Yang Qi reported to the other party.

"What is the specific progress? Are there any clues about the missing people?"

"For the time being... there is no clue." Yang Qi replied.

"No clue?" The other party's tone was obviously a little dissatisfied, "Didn't a hunter resonate with the strange creature?"

"The power of the blood moon is too strong, and the 'Night Fury' has a clear sign of being out of control. I have asked all strange creature hunters to temporarily withdraw from the operation and return to the operation area after the blood moon disappears." Yang Qi said.

"But as far as I know, the hunter who resonated with it was not a Night Fury... Did he evacuate as well?"

"Although he did not mutate, he is an infected person after all. To be on the safe side..."

"Researcher Yang, please make one thing clear. We are racing against time now. It is impossible to take the most conservative plan for everything. Since this hunter has no obvious abnormality, let him return to the action area immediately!"

"I refuse!" Yang Qi said immediately, "You are not at the scene and you don't know the situation at the scene. The power of this blood moon is stronger than any blood moon observed in the past 30 years! We can't take that risk... If we lose that hunter, I'm afraid even the last clue will be cut off! If any consequences are caused by my decision, I am willing to take full responsibility!"

"Do you think you can bear this responsibility? You should have seen the list of missing persons, right?" The voice on the phone has become slightly angry.

"I have seen it." Yang Qi replied neither servilely nor arrogantly, "But since I am the on-site commander of this rescue operation, I have the right to arrange the personnel involved in the operation, unless you dismiss me directly now... But according to the normal process, you need to get at least half of the people in the management committee to agree with this decision before it will take effect."

"Very good... I will not dismiss you." The other party said slowly, "But I hope that after forty-eight hours... no, it should be thirty-one hours, you can show me a satisfactory result."

The other party hung up the phone... Until the end, the other party did not say what punishment would be waiting for Yang Qi if she failed to complete the task, but the threat between the lines was self-evident.

...

Tianfu City, downtown, an unknown street.

Sun Hang originally planned to go to the commercial street to eat at Golden Arches, but because he didn't know the way, he staggered into a residential area.

The buildings here are all old houses left over from the last century, and the paving is also made of bluestone slabs that have been polished by time and are extremely smooth. The thin morning mist filled the streets, which made Sun Hang feel as if he had strayed into a paradise.

The air was very humid, partly because of the morning mist, and partly because of the steam coming out of the large steamers placed on the street - in a city that has just woken up, the first to open must be various shops selling breakfast.

Before it was completely light, the owners of the breakfast shops had already placed tables and benches outside the shop, lit the fire, and set up the pot.

Dandan noodles, tofu pudding, hot and sour noodles, brown sugar rice cakes... Sun Hang looked over and saw that this street was full of Tianfucheng's special snacks. Some early-rising uncles were already sitting on chairs along the street with crutches and bird cages, waiting for their breakfast orders to be served.

Sun Hang randomly chose a table that looked relatively clean and sat down. He glanced at the menu hanging at the door of the store and said to the boss who was busy inside: "Give me a bowl of wontons, uh, no spicy."

"A bowl of wontons? How many taels do you want?" The owner looked up and asked, and then lowered his head to work.

"Two?... Then give me ten." Sun Hang glanced at the wontons on the chopping board that had not yet been put into the pot. This wonton was much larger than the hun dun in his memory. Eating ten should be enough to fill his stomach... Even if he was not full, he could still go somewhere else to buy something to fill his stomach.

"Okay, 1.5 liang wonton, no spicy!"

"Hey, young man, you won't eat it just by looking at it." An old man with white hair and beard shook his head with some regret after hearing Sun Hang said he didn't want it spicy, "You don't understand, the hot wonton was served, a spoonful of red oil was poured on it... Tsk, it's so delicious!"

Just when Sun Hang wanted to find a reason to deal with this nosy old man, a unique smell of "food" suddenly floated into his nose.
