Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 330 Energy Storm
The semi-fluid substance suspected to be bone marrow in the bone pores suddenly boiled up, and then an extremely surging energy began to attack the barrier force field like crazy.

Sun Hang's blue bar dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye - if he could not continue to maintain the barrier force field, with the energy contained in the electric arc, even if he had the blessing of the two physical strengthening memes of Black Dragon and Tai Sui, he would probably be seriously injured.

The only solution is to speed up the absorption.

What he wanted to absorb was the meme of Kuiniu, not this huge energy... In a sense, the meme is the essence, and these energies are the dross that need to be removed.

Sun Hang himself did not notice that his expression began to become ferocious, and Yuri in the monitoring room was so scared that he asked hurriedly: "Is there a problem? Should we stop swallowing? Is there anything we need to do?"

"Is this room...sturdy enough?" Sun Hang asked through gritted teeth.

"The wall is forged with second-generation gamma alloy. The thickness of a single layer is 1.5 meters, and there are three layers in total. There is also a half-meter thick composite buffer layer between each layer..." Yuri said quickly.

"Who would understand this?" Sun Hang couldn't help but want to curse, "Just tell me how powerful an explosion it can withstand!"

"Or, to put it another way—" Sun Hang said again, "If this spinal cord sashimi explodes, will it poke a big hole in the Tianshu Tower?"

“It shouldn’t…” Yuri’s voice trembled slightly. “Before the swallowing began, we had already reinforced the outside of the containment room twice, and the area within 200 meters around it was completely cleared… But the problem is that if it explodes in a closed environment, the power may exceed the budget… I’m not sure about the exact range…”

"What you mean is that if there is a device similar to a pressure relief valve to direct the energy and impact of the explosion away, the power will be reduced a lot?" Sun Hang asked again.

"It can't be guided! If we make a pressure relief valve like that, the violent energy will directly break the pressure relief valve, and then tear the entire containment chamber apart along the gap, which will only make the situation worse!"

"Oh... that means now we can only gamble whether this room can hold up, right?"

"That's the theory, but I can try to find something that can absorb the dissipated energy, which might weaken the power of the explosion as much as possible..."

"Aren't these things prepared in advance?" Sun Hang was stunned. "Is this what you call 'fully prepared'?"

"That's not true. The strange equipment we can use has already been used in the secondary reinforcement project... The only things left are those contained objects that are not very stable in their own right." Yuri explained with some grievance.

"Then I'd better just explode..."

"wait wait wait!"

Before Yuri could finish his words, Sun Hang, who had devoured the Kuiniu meme inside his spinal cord, instantly retreated to the corner and wrapped himself tightly with a barrier force field.

The out-of-control violent energy suddenly exploded, and the trays, tables and chairs made of the second-generation gamma alloy were instantly vaporized. Then, the inner walls of the entire room began to turn red, and an unimaginable pressure continued to come from the outside of the barrier force field.

Yuri's voice disappeared without a trace. The loudspeakers and monitoring equipment installed inside the room have all been destroyed, but the energy is still expanding.

The melting point of the second-generation gamma alloy is close to 8,000 degrees Celsius, but even so, it cannot withstand the energy in the bone marrow of the Kui Niu. The hard inner wall is like the ablation layer of a spacecraft, being "consumed" at an extremely fast speed...

The pressure on Sun Hang's barrier force field was equally terrifying, but fortunately after absorbing the Kuiniu meme, the lost "blue bar" was replenished to a certain extent - if his blue bar was as visible as the mana slot of a game character, you can see that the end of the blue bar seemed to be in a fierce tug-of-war, being constantly pulled left and right by two invisible forces.

At the same time, in the monitoring room.

Staring at the screen full of snowy noise, Yuri's expression was a little stiff.

"Sir, external pressure detection, the pressure at 64 structural points exceeds the limit threshold... It is estimated that in another 25 seconds, the entire containment room will explode!"

"Report to the commander, an energy storm has formed inside the room. The interference is too strong to detect the memetic fluctuations and vital signs of the 'VIP'!"

"Sir! Do you want to activate the emergency plan?"

Yuri felt a little annoyed by the series of questions from his subordinates. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Wait a little longer... Since Mr. Pei chooses to believe him... then I believe him too."

"But, the containment room will explode in twenty seconds. It's no longer safe here. Please evacuate immediately! We will take care of the rest!" A subordinate reached out and tried to pull Yuri.

However, Yuri slapped the other's hand away and shouted, "I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere! I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter! If the explosion really reaches here, then even if I survive the accident, I won't be able to live on with dignity!"

"Ten seconds left! Nine seconds! Eight seconds! Seven...seven...eh?" The researcher who was staring at the pressure gauge suddenly let out a sigh, "The...the external pressure is dropping rapidly! Although the structure has been irreversibly damaged...but the out-of-control energy has not overflowed at all! What's going on?!"

"Is the explosion over?"

"No...he controlled the explosion...that's the only possibility." Yuri murmured.

"Can he control that violent energy?" A subordinate looked at Yuri in astonishment. "But if he can control it, why would this happen?"

"Because he didn't have this ability a few seconds ago..." Yuri shook his head, "Although it's hard for me to believe that he could actually devour and digest Kuiniu's ability in such a short time and use it for himself."

"Sir...you mean...he has acquired the power of Kuiniu and controlled the energy storm in such a short time?!" The subordinate opened his mouth in shock. "What else? You and I have seen the readings of the monitoring terminal at the last moment before it was destroyed. Do you think that under normal circumstances, an energy storm of this level would subside so quickly?"

"So what should we do now?" the subordinate asked again, "The entire containment chamber has been severely deformed, and all the mechanical components have melted... If we want to open it, the only way left is probably to use a laser cutter... Do you think the person inside can get out by himself?"

"I don't know..." Yuri shook his head. "Let's wait a little longer. At least, we have to wait until the temperature of the internal structure drops to normal levels before we can start cutting..."

……

……

One thousand eight hundred kilometers away from Chunming City, in Tianfu City, there is the Weird Things Research Institute.

Yang Qi, who had just finished a routine meeting, stretched. She raised her head and took a look at the meeting room where she was the only one left and the documents spread all over the table. An indescribable feeling of fatigue surged into her heart.

Drugs can suppress physical and mental fatigue, but psychological fatigue cannot be eliminated.

Not to mention that Yang Qi has developed resistance to this drug - this powerful stimulant, when given to a sleepy person, can make him so excited that he jumps up immediately and performs a set of military boxing in the temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius outside; but now, after taking double the dose of the drug, Yang Qi can only maintain her concentration for a few dozen minutes.

Even when sitting in meditation, Yang Qi's heart rate soared to over 130. She turned her head to look at the window on the side. The face reflected in the glass was pale and haggard, with heavy dark circles under her eyes and bloodshot whites. Her lifeless eyes fully demonstrated what "the look of a dead fish" meant... Yang Qi felt that if she continued like this, she would probably really turn into a dead fish.

That guy Sun Hang complains every day that he is going to die suddenly... I wonder if he will be sad if he really dies suddenly?
Or will that guy dance on his own grave with a smile on his face, and at the end ask the photo on the tombstone, "Will you stay up late in your next life?"

I get really angry when I think of this guy... I don't know how he is doing in Chunming City. There has been no news so far.

Maybe there is some news coming... But I am too busy and have no chance to see it...

Yang Qi tried to slow down her breathing and lower her racing heart rate. She knew she should rest immediately, but she also knew that if the tension in her heart suddenly loosened, she might not even wake up until the final battle began.

To be precise, that's not called sleeping, that's called coma.

Yang Qi fished out the medicine bottle from her coat pocket, but there was no sound of pills colliding with the inner wall of the bottle - she was slightly stunned for a moment, then she remembered that the last time she took the medicine, it was the last two pills. She had originally planned to go to the logistics department to get another bottle, but this meeting made her forget about it.

"The situation is too bad... I hope there is nothing missed." Yang Qi whispered to herself, "This matter is okay... If it is related to the pesticide plan, it will be troublesome..."

At this moment, the door of the conference room was slammed open, and Song Yarong ran in excitedly and said to Yang Qi, "Success! I succeeded!"

"What succeeded? Meme reverse engineering?" Yang Qi was stunned and asked quickly.

"Are you confused because of working overtime? How can meme reverse engineering be so fast?" Song Yarong said, "I mean the armored suit I proposed at the meeting yesterday was successfully trial-produced! Have you forgotten? I just told you two hours ago."

"I..." Yang Qi recalled, and it seemed that this was true. However, she was now concentrating on meme reverse engineering and preventing Chimera 17 from infiltrating and sabotaging, and did not pay much attention to Song Yarong's suggestion.

"Look here, this is a test video!" Song Yarong placed a tablet on the table.

The picture shows a humanoid armor. The front end of the armor is a fluid shape that perfectly conforms to aerodynamics, while the area behind is filled with rocket launchers of various sizes - the longest rocket launcher is even more than three meters long. It doesn't feel like there are a bunch of rocket launchers installed on the back of a person, but rather that there is a person tied to the front of a bunch of rocket launchers.

"Combined with the previous sample collection operation, I think the hunters need a vehicle that is fast enough to break through the energy flow blockade of Chimera 17." Song Yarong said quickly, "The main body of this armor is forged with second-generation gamma alloy. It is extremely strong and can ensure that it will not disintegrate when moving at high speeds. These thruster groups can allow the wearer to reach a speed of Mach 5 in close-range flight... I have seen the video captured by the camera carried by Sun Hang, and also collected data sent back by the surviving drones. According to calculations, at this moving speed, the energy flow of Chimera 17 cannot lock onto the target."

"The biggest difficulty in developing the entire set of armor is how to maintain balance while moving at high speed... I initially thought of using stabilizer wings and vector thrusters like those on fighter jets, but the former would increase the target size and the latter would result in a loss of some power... Do you know how I solved it in the end?" Song Yarong continued.

"How to solve it?"

"Thanks to Zhong Ling's help, I extracted some memes from the Overlord's body and used them to make a set of 'wind stabilization devices'. This device can instantly solidify the surrounding air and form an invisible track around the armor... It looks like this thing is flying freely, but in fact it is a super-high-speed tracked vehicle!"

"But, there is a problem that you seem to have overlooked." Yang Qi frowned, "A speed of Mach 5... have you considered the wearer's ability to withstand it? Even if we use a deep-sea anti-gravity suit, it may be difficult..."

"Hey, I said at the beginning that this thing is designed for monster hunters... The wearer must be a hunter who has undergone physical enhancement... For example, Sun Hang, he can definitely withstand the G-force generated when this thing moves. It won't be a problem even if he doesn't wear an anti-gravity suit."

"How can you be sure he can do it?"

"Hehe." Song Yarong chuckled, "Guess who is the tester of this armored suit?"

Yang Qi took another look at the prototype on the screen. Judging from the shape and size, it seemed to be a female armor...

"Could it be... you?"

"Ha, you got it right!" Song Yarong laughed. "During the test, I was only wearing an ordinary anti-gravity suit. Apart from feeling a little dizzy, there were no problems at all!"
