Trickster Hunter

Chapter 60 Eternal Night

"To be honest, I am more concerned about the 'Eternal Night' that Song Yarong mentioned, which covers the entire Shuzhou area." Sun Hang said.

This is the first time Sun Hang has come into contact with a strange creature with a serial number that can be ranked in the top three, and it is a phenomenon-type strange creature that is second only to the "Type A·Rule-type" in terms of difficulty.

Although the serial number cannot fully represent the strength of a strange creature, all strange creatures that can be ranked in the top ten, no matter which category, are not easy to deal with.

Every time a strange creature with a single-digit serial number appears in the human vision, it means the arrival of a disaster.

"The last time 'Eternal Night' appeared was in the 4533rd year of the lunar calendar, covering the entire Hexi Corridor area, plus most of Liangzhou territory." Ye Xuan said seriously.

"4533? But Song Yarong told me that the Eternal Night disappeared for 130 years..." Sun Hang frowned, realizing the problem, "Don't tell me that the 'Eternal Night' that appeared in 4533 lasted for more than 50 years?"

"To be precise, it was 55 years, 9 months and 20 days." Ye Xuan said, "Starting from September 12, 4533 in the lunar calendar, and ending on July 2, 4589 in the lunar calendar. According to historical records, the entire Hexi Corridor area was dark all year round, with withered vegetation, plague raging, and poisonous insects and beasts rampant. The four cities of Hexi - Xiliang, Suzhou, Ganzhou, and Shadu were all empty, and the number of refugees was in the millions."

"This time, the 'Eternal Night' will not last for decades, right?" Sun Hang glanced at the night sky outside the cabin and whispered.

"I don't know." Ye Xuan shook her head. "The longest recorded Eternal Night lasted more than 300 years, and the shortest lasted only four months. There is no pattern to follow. In addition, there is one more thing you hunters must pay attention to."

"What?"

"During the Eternal Night, on any full moon night, the 'Yi Liu·Blood Moon' will definitely appear." Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, "Therefore, according to the arrangement of the Disaster Countermeasures Committee, no matter what the combat situation is, on the day before the full moon night, all monster hunters must withdraw from the Eternal Night coverage area."

"It seems that the commander this time is a little smarter than the group of good-for-nothings in Tianfu City." Sun Hang commented.

"It is not a long-term solution to keep sending troops and hunters to stop monsters." Ye Xuan's tone was a little heavy. "If the Eternal Night lasts for more than three months, the Federation should start implementing an immigration plan to relocate the people in Shuzhou to other places... If the Eternal Night lasts for more than a year, the plan to abandon Shuzhou will be put on the agenda."

"In other words, if we can't handle this, the human activity area will shrink again, right?" Sun Hang said.

"It's not a question of whether we can handle it or not... but how long the 'Eternal Night' will last." Ye Xuan corrected, "For the 'Eternal Night', the only measure we can take is to wait for it to disappear on its own."

"Then if the Eternal Night appears in Chunming City, the capital of the Federation, will you also abandon Chunming City?"

"Yes." Ye Xuan nodded

"Tsk...if the Eternal Night covers the entire Xiazhou continent, then do we all have to die?"

"In theory, that's right." Ye Xuan said calmly, "The so-called defense line of humans is actually so fragile that it can't be attacked at all."

Just when Sun Hang wanted to ask something, a sharp and piercing cry suddenly came from the city below.

"It's not a sound that humans can make." Wang Xiyi reacted immediately, "Hover in place!"

"OK!" The black brother responded immediately and controlled the helicopter to hover in the air.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a bloated humanoid creature sitting on the rooftop of an office building. The creepy crying sound came from this humanoid creature.

"Do you have a telescope?" Sun Hang asked.

A member of the special operations team quickly took out a small and exquisite monocular telescope from his bag and handed it to Sun Hang.

With the help of the telescope, Sun Hang could see clearly that it was a creature that looked like a "human female" with a high bulge in the abdomen. Compared with her bloated torso, her limbs were extremely slender, which reminded Sun Hang of the thin girl he had encountered at the breakfast stall before.

The messy and dirty long hair covered its cheeks, but on its pale skin, purple and red corpse spots could be seen everywhere. On one of its legs, there was a rusty shackle, and half of the rusty iron chain was connected to the shackle at one end, and the other end was directly dragged on the ground.

There was no doubt that this was a strange creature.

"How could a strange creature appear here?" The team member who handed the telescope to Sun Hang whispered, "Has the defense line on the South City Bridge been breached?"

"It should be just a fish that slipped through the net." Ye Xuan shook her head, "If the South City Bridge was breached, the Tianfu City area would have been littered with corpses by now."

"This strange creature... I found a file in the database that completely matches its characteristics." Yang Lian, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke.

"Oh? Is it a strange creature that has been discovered?"

"'Bingliusansi·Pregnant Girl'. It was discovered sixty-five years ago and was eliminated sixty-five years ago." Yang Lian said.

"Pregnant Girl?" Sun Hang repeated the name, "You mean, there is actually a baby in its bulging belly?"

"Well, this weird thing was also involved in a murder case sixty-five years ago... The two parties involved were a couple in love. After they got together for half a year, the woman discovered that she was unexpectedly pregnant... You know, in In that era, it was a very serious matter for a woman to become pregnant before marriage. Not only would the woman be criticized by the society, but the man's future would also be greatly affected. Driven by various factors, the man took extreme measures to destroy his wife. The girlfriend took control and faked her accidental disappearance.”

Yang Lian paused and continued: "A few months later, the woman had difficulty giving birth, so the man buried the woman and the unborn child together."

"...At first glance, it was confirmed that he was born pure and pure." Sun Hang complained.

"But what the man didn't expect was that although the woman suffered a lot of bleeding due to dystocia, she did not die on the spot, she just went into shock... Later, the sheriffs found signs of struggle in the grave where the woman was buried, and in the woman's respiratory tract A large amount of soil debris was also found inside, which means that the woman woke up after being buried alive - dystocia was not the direct cause of her death, but being buried alive was."

"Okay, if you say so, that man is even more beastly." Sun Hang said, "But I'm a little curious, how did this girl become a monster? Is it because of resentment?"

"This has not yet been clarified." Yang Lian continued, "In short, after she transformed into a strange creature, she dug a grave on her own, crawled out, sneaked into the man's home, and killed all six members of his family."

"What a death."

"After killing the man's family, the monster found the man's relatives one by one based on the distance of their blood relationship, and killed them with extremely cruel methods... By the time the monster hunters found it, it had already Four massacres were committed, with the total number of dead reaching twenty-one.”

"Tsk, it's really unlucky to have such a scumbag relative on the stall." Sun Hang sighed, "Then how was this weird thing eliminated later?"

Although the experience of the "pregnant girl" during her lifetime was very sad and infuriating... but no matter what, since she has become a monster, she must be eliminated.

Otherwise, according to her logic of revenge, a large number of innocent people may suffer unreasonable disasters - after all, no one can guarantee whether there will be even a slight blood relationship between herself and the scumbag back then.
