Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 204 Collapse
"I'll go." Zhong Ling suddenly said, "I can bring those strange skeletons with me. The overall combat power should be higher than the two of you combined."

"Forget it... If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain to Tianshu Tower." Sun Hang said, "Besides, I have a feeling that this 'fireworks' is aimed at me... If that's the case, then there's no reason for me to just stand back and watch."

In fact, Sun Hang had one more thing he hadn’t said - even if all the skeletons controlled by Zhong Ling were added together, their total combat power might not be as high as Sun Hang alone.

After returning from the Nameless Island, Sun Hang's strength has been greatly improved... If he were to fight Overlord now, Overlord would probably be beaten down by Sun Hang before he even has the chance to say those harsh words at the beginning.

"I agree with Sun Hang's opinion." Zhu Long nodded, "The most important task for you on this trip is to ensure your personal safety, but in this situation, I may not be able to keep you safe in the high temperature area."

Zhong Ling's identity is rather special, which Sun Hang has already confirmed - her father has a very high level of authority within the Tianshu Tower, and in terms of family background, the Zhong family might even be above the Ye family... Zhong Ling can definitely be considered a genuine rich girl, but she is usually rather low-key in her behavior and dress, so it's hard to tell.

Sun Hang found out later that the skirt she was wearing on the day he kidnapped her, which didn't even have a tag, was hand-made by a certain master. The raw material cost alone was more than 10,000 yuan. As for the handwork fee of the master, whose name Sun Hang could no longer remember, it would be even higher than 10,000 yuan.

Although more than ten thousand yuan is nothing compared to the equipment the hunters are equipped with, it gives us a glimpse of Zhong Ling's family background.

If I could marry this girl who doesn't talk much on weekdays, I could save myself 50 years of hard work...

"Yang Qi, look after Zhong Ling." Sun Hang turned to Yang Qi and said, "Zhu Long, let's go directly to the scene."

"Okay." Zhulong nodded, took off his gloves and put them in his pocket.

Suddenly, a chill that made one's teeth chatter spread around.

……

The hospital is only a dozen kilometers away from Panlong Airport, and it only takes a few minutes to drive to the edge of the high temperature zone.

Sun Hang could clearly feel that as the distance shortened, the temperature of the air was gradually rising - even the small psoriasis advertisements posted on the lamp posts were curled up and fell off under the influence of the high temperature... An advertisement for an old Chinese doctor treating premature ejaculation just happened to float onto the windshield of the car Sun Hang was sitting in.

"He is an expert in both andrology and gynecology. I just don't know whether this old Chinese doctor is a man or a woman." Sun Hang took a look at the content of the advertisement and complained in his heart.

The people in these blocks have almost been completely evacuated. Several sheriff's cars are parked at the intersection. Groups of sheriffs are communicating anxiously on walkie-talkies. A team of firefighters carrying a stretcher passes by the car window. The officer sitting in the back seat of the car just took a look at what was on the stretcher and immediately lowered his head and began to retch.

It was a body that had been burnt into charcoal, with barely recognizable human shape... Logically speaking, it had become like this and there was no point in rescuing it. However, after seeing the expressions on the faces of the firefighters, Sun Hang realized that this might be the only "person" they had "rescued" from the ruins.

The car continued to move forward. The air temperature outside had exceeded 50 degrees Celsius. The effect of the air conditioner in the car began to become negligible, but fortunately there was Zhulong - he just released a little bit of his breath, and the temperature in the car suddenly dropped as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a cordon. As soon as the door was opened, Sun Hang smelled a foul and burnt odor. Looking around, the area a hundred meters away had completely turned into a sea of ​​fire. Almost everything that could be ignited was burning.

Several firefighters in heat-insulating suits were holding a high-pressure water gun together, trying to put out the fire in a small supermarket not far away... However, a large part of the water jets from the high-pressure water gun had evaporated into large pieces of water vapor before reaching the target... At the place where Sun Hang and his friends got off the car, with every step forward, the temperature in the air would immediately rise by several degrees Celsius.

"We are contacting all institutions and companies in the city that have the ability to produce liquid nitrogen or have liquid nitrogen in stock. If we can't stop the high-temperature zone from expanding further..." the fat member of the management committee said while wiping his sweat, "Lizhou City... the entire Lizhou City will turn into a sea of ​​fire."

"Liquid nitrogen is useless." Sun Hang shook his head and looked at the fireball floating in the distance. From the plane, the fireball was in a state of suspension close to the ground, but from the ground, it can be found that the distance between the bottom of the fireball and the ground is at least 200 meters. As for the diameter of the fireball itself, it is estimated to be more than one kilometer.

"If we don't get rid of this thing, it's useless to just put out the fire and reduce the temperature." Sun Hang patted Zhulong's shoulder, "Let's go, it's our turn."

"Yes." Zhulong nodded and said seriously, "Be careful, don't touch the water curtain I created, you might get frostbite."

After he finished speaking, a thin layer of water curtain emitting an extremely cold aura spread out from under his feet, then rose up out of thin air, forming a protective shield that enveloped both Zhulong and Sun Hang.

"Be careful." Yang Qi said from a distance, not hiding the worry in her eyes. "If you notice something is wrong, retreat immediately. We still have too little information about this strange creature..."

In fact, what Yang Qi was thinking was that it would be better to wait until the support from Tianfu City arrived before taking action, but she changed her mind - this group of people were originally going to support Tianfu City... In other words, these few people were probably the greatest support that Tianfu City could provide to Lizhou City.

The cordon in front of them broke into pieces like a French pancake as soon as it touched Zhulong's water curtain. The two walked forward, passing the group of firefighters, and then passed the warning signs and plastic roadblocks that had begun to melt.

"Can you feel that guy's breath?" Sun Hang asked as he walked.

The water curtain did not cover 360 degrees - at least there was no water curtain under Sun Hang's feet. He could clearly feel the burning sensation passing through the ground and then through his boots and socks, directly reaching the soles of his feet... This was the ground that had been cooled down by the water curtain. If Sun Hang had not been "swept" by Zhulong's water curtain first, but had stepped on it directly, the soles of his shoes would probably have melted and stuck to the ground.

"I can't feel it." Zhulong shook his head. "These flames... are just ordinary flames. I can't sense any weird meme aura from them."

“Me too… I always feel it’s a bit ancient…” Before Sun Hang could utter the strange word “weird”, the fireball in the sky suddenly changed!
The fireball suddenly expanded greatly, and a strong heat wave immediately spread out in all directions. Then, the entire fireball began to collapse inward - in just a few seconds, the huge fireball that was originally suspended in the air disappeared without a trace!

"Ah?" Sun Hang was stunned. Even Zhulong, who was always calm, showed a look of astonishment.

"Run...run away?" Sun Hang could feel that after the fireball disappeared, the temperature around him was dropping rapidly, so that the cold aura of the water curtain instantly took over, causing him to shiver while holding his arms.

Zhulong put away the water curtain, took two steps forward, and murmured: "How could it suddenly disappear..."

"Let's go and take a look right below the place where the fireball was floating!" Sun Hang ran forward two steps, then as if he remembered something, he suddenly turned around and ran towards the cordon.

The edge of the high temperature zone and the location of the fireball were several kilometers away. It would take too much time to run there. Sun Hang ran directly to the car he was sitting in, patted the hood hard, and shouted to the driver: "Brother, get out first! Lend me this car!"

"Ah? Oh! Okay, okay!" After the driver reacted, he got out of the car in a hurry. Sun Hang sat directly in the driving seat, turned the key, shifted the gear, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

The temperature of the ground was still very high, but it was within the range that the tires could withstand. Sun Hang drove the car to the side of Zhulong and pressed the horn hard, "Get in the car!"

With his foot on the gas, the car reached the maximum speed, and Sun Hang drove directly with Zhulong on the burning streets - as for the blocks where the flames had not yet been extinguished, he rushed through them relying on the water curtain covering the car body.

In less than three minutes, the car had rushed into Panlong Airport.

On the airport runway, the wreckage of two passenger planes, with only skeletons left, broke into several pieces, thick smoke rose into the sky, and the terminal building nearby had turned into a charred ruin - the only thing to be thankful for is that Panlong Airport no longer receives any civilian passengers. The terminal building, which used to be crowded even late at night, now only has a very small number of staff members, reducing the casualties of this accident to a minimum.

Sun Hang made a big turn and drifted, and stopped the car in the middle of the airport runway. He pushed open the door, glanced at the tires that were on the verge of being scrapped, and then ran forward more than ten meters in one breath.

It was here, no mistake—the location where he saw the explosion and fireball on the plane was exactly where he was standing now!
However, there is nothing here.

There was no big pit, no trace of explosion, no debris or wreckage, and even no trace of any lingering breath of strange creatures!

There was only the melted asphalt road under your feet and the cracked concrete roadbed exposed beneath the asphalt road.

Other than that, there is nothing here.

"There is no trace of breath left." Zhulong also walked over with a frown, "Could it be some kind of strange creature that is good at concealing its breath?"

"Do you think it's necessary for this guy to be good at concealing his aura?" Sun Hang asked back, "The movement of its appearance can be seen by the whole fucking Lizhou City... Concealing his aura, what a joke..."

"It's hard to say. Some very conspicuous monsters have the ability to conceal their aura." Zhulong said, "I once encountered a whole mountain of Geng-type monsters, and there was no aura leaking out at all. So the investigation team mistakenly believed that the previous strange events were caused by a monster hiding in the mountain... But it was not until later that we discovered that the entire mountain was the monster itself."

"What did you do with that mountain later?" Sun Hang asked.

He subconsciously thought of Longyanlei who had "left" Shuzhou.

"The threat from that mountain is not that big, but it's very easy to get lost on the mountain. Those who disappeared on the mountain died of exhaustion and thirst after getting lost..." Zhulong said, "The solution is also very simple. First, divide the area around the mountain into a blockade, and then use a large amount of explosives to blow up the entire mountain. Only after the mountain is blown open and the alienated rock layers inside are exposed, the breath of the strange creature will be completely released."

"Do you think this fireball is the same?" Sun Hang circled the spot. "I don't know why, but I have a feeling... it doesn't seem to have escaped, but it has gone out."

"I feel the same way." Zhulong nodded in agreement. "There are many phenomena or energy-related weird things that exist for a very short time. Some are so short that they cannot be observed from a human perspective. We must make careful calculations to deduce the evidence of the existence of those weird phenomena... Like the big fireball just now, the energy it released is no less than that of a tactical nuclear bomb. I am more inclined to believe that it burned itself out after completely releasing its own energy... along with its memes."

"Self-destruction?"

"Inside the Tianshu Tower, this kind of weird thing has another name." Zhulong said, "It's called 'ephemeral weird thing'."

"Is it from the saying that a flower blooms only briefly?"

"Well, most of the 'ephemeral monsters' will not cause any impact on the human world, but a very small number of 'ephemeral monsters'...if they appear in the occupied areas, it would be fine. But if they suddenly appear in densely populated areas, it will cause an extremely horrific disaster, just like this big fireball." Zhulong said.

"To be honest, I feel like this place was hit by a nuclear bomb." Sun Hang thought for a moment and then changed his words, "No, it's a little different from a nuclear bomb... Look carefully, there is no sign of being affected by the shock wave, and the wreckage of the buildings and the planes are still largely intact... The fireball is simply releasing heat energy. It is not a bomb, but a pure 'heat source'. The explosion we saw in the sky before was just the expansion process of the fireball itself."
