Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 163: Artillery Fire
"So what should we do now? Send a distress signal?" asked the fisherman.

The colors of the distress signal are red, green and red. It can be sent multiple times after an interval of ten seconds. Once the signal is sent, it means giving up the trial.

Things have developed to this point. The hunters who landed on the island suffered heavy casualties, and the Yamata-no-Orochi sneaked into the near sea... The trial itself is no longer important. Even if the Tianshu Tower urgently cancels the trial and takes away all the hunters on the island, it is estimated that except for the group of Ansa hunters, no one else will have any objection.

The problem is that no one can come and take them away.

Judging from the strange characteristics of this nameless island, ordinary people will die if they land on the island, and an elite team of hunters will be organized for rescue. However, if the people who come are not numerous or strong enough, they will not be here to save people, but to die.

The appearance of Yamata no Orochi made the highest priority task become to defeat Yamata no Orochi rather than to rescue the hunters who had landed on the island - you know, this place is only 300 kilometers away from Chunming City, and with the speed of Yamata no Orochi moving in the water, it only takes one hour for it to reach the capital of Xiazhou Federation.

Compared with Chunming City and the tens of millions of people in the city, this group of hunters can be simply ignored.

Assuming that the federal government and Tianshu Tower have received the message he has sent out, what they are preparing for now is definitely the subjugation or expulsion of the Yamata-no-Orochi, rather than a rescue operation.

If it is a strange creature like Longyanlei, perhaps it may be possible to replicate an induced operation and let Baosi use her charm to lead it back to Fusang Sea... But the problem is that the destructive power and attack range of Yamata no Orochi are far beyond Longyanlei, and no floating or offshore platform can withstand its continuous attacks.

In order for Bao Si's ability to take effect, she must be sent within the attack range of the Yamata no Orochi.

No one can protect her.

"It's useless to send a signal. No one can save us." Yano Masayoshi sighed, "Harumi Castle must be busy discussing how to deal with the Yamata no Orochi... As for us, I'm afraid we have been abandoned."

“You are too pessimistic… After all, we are… also…” The fisherman stopped talking halfway.

He suddenly realized that most of the hunters who landed on the island could only be considered a "mob."

Hunters like Huangfu Sha, even if they have received good training, have almost no practical experience... Not to mention Yano Seiichi, who spends all day in the laboratory and may have come into contact with many infected people and strange creatures, but those strange creatures are placed on the laboratory table or in storage containers. He only needs to stand behind the safe multi-layer protective glass and operate the robotic arm in the laboratory...

Even the fisherman himself, in the past few years as a monster hunter in the Siberian Autonomous Region, had only carried out a few missions to hunt monsters. Apart from the strange fish that infected him that year, he had never encountered a real monster.

He had participated in three operations to encircle and suppress monsters in the northern tundra, but in these three operations he had not seen even a single hair of the monsters, let alone any experience in fighting with monsters.

The real purpose of these people participating in the upgrade trial is just to gild themselves...High-level hunters have higher authority and can freely attend various business activities and make more money.

In addition, there is a very cruel phenomenon among monster hunters.

In most cases, a hunter's strength and his "lifespan" are inversely proportional.

The survival period of powerful hunters is often only a few years. On the contrary, those mediocre ones can keep their infection process stable for decades.

The more powerful the hunter, the less stable the memes in his body are - this is also the main reason why the Federation secretly promotes mass production of hunters. Among the hunters participating in the trial, there are hunters with actual combat experience, but they account for a small proportion.

What's more, there is a group of people among them who have ulterior motives... It is almost impossible to get them to obey the orders of Tianshu Tower and participate in the action to defeat the Yamata-no-Orochi.

"Damn it, you're right." The fisherman stuck the spear in his hand into the ground dejectedly, "We are just a bunch of useless pawns."

"In my opinion, we should just wait here," Yano Seiichi said, "wait until the Federation makes some moves... The best escape route I can imagine is to take advantage of the time when the Yamata no Orochi is distracted by the punitive forces, return to the beach, and escape using the landing craft left there."

"How long do you think it will take for the federation to mobilize the punitive forces?" Sun Hang asked.

"The last campaign to subdue the Yamata-no-Orochi took at least six months to prepare...but now things are urgent, perhaps..." Yano couldn't say any more.

"Maybe half a month, or maybe a week." Sun Hang continued for him, "It would be a waste to rely solely on the Federation's naval and air mobility to defeat the Yamata no Orochi. They would have to mobilize at least an entire fleet and gather elite hunters scattered around to have a chance to destroy the Yamata no Orochi."

"A week... This should be the most optimistic outcome," the fisherman sighed, "but the supplies we have now can't even last three days."

"And her." Yano looked at Huangfusha, who was lying on the ground with a pen tube stuck in her neck. "She lost too much blood. If she can't get a blood transfusion in time, she won't even make it tonight."

"Those Ansa hunters should be carrying plasma." Sun Hang said.

"They definitely don't want to share it with us. They even kill their own people at will," the fisherman said immediately.

"We can trade or rob, there are plenty of ways." Sun Hang said, "The problem is that they have gone underground. Without the 'amulet', that place is a restricted area for us."

Sun Hang was not sure whether the three monkeys would help him block the curse, but he was sure that the three monkeys would definitely not help the fisherman and Yano.

"If there is no other choice, give her my blood! I have type O blood!" said the fisherman, rolling up his sleeves.

At this moment, a sharp whistle that pierced the sky was heard from outside.

Sun Hang and the fisherman both ran out to the street and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

I saw three red flares soaring into the sky and exploding with a loud bang hundreds of meters in the air!

Three consecutive red flares!
The meaning conveyed is "Request artillery support"! !

In other words, if the destroyer parked on the sea saw these three flares, in a few minutes, intensive bombing fire would cover the ruins of the entire institute! !
