Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 418 "Going Home"

"Kurisi plus high-grade gray, very classy." Sun Hang gave a thumbs up and sniffed subconsciously.

"She originally recommended stockings to me, saying that a slight squeeze would make me look sexier." Lao Wang rolled up the legs of his loose casual pants to his thighs in one breath. "But the problem is that my body is too strong. If I want to have a squeeze effect, I'm afraid I can only wrap steel wire around my legs... I think if that's the case, I might as well choose pantyhose. It can also create a tearing environment, making you look more beastly."

"You don't think now..."

"Why, is it not possible?" Lao Wang suddenly leaned close to Sun Hang's ear and gently blew his hot air on his earlobe. "There is a saying called 'dragons are inherently lustful', haven't you heard of it?"

"Isn't that word used to describe Eastern dragons? A dragon gives birth to nine sons, each one is different, which means Eastern dragons can kill any species..." Sun Hang's face was dark, "As for you, your infection source, the Black Dragon, is definitely a Western dragon, right?"

"Is there a difference?" Lao Wang disagreed. "What do you think those Western dragons in fairy tales do when they take princesses away? Do they treat them as living figurines and put them in caves for viewing?"

"...Luckily you're not dating an ordinary person, otherwise someone might get killed." Sun Hang couldn't help but say, "Literally someone would get killed."

"You are not an ordinary person anyway." Lao Wang raised his head and drank the noodle soup in one gulp, then wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand. "I have finished the instant noodles, and now it's time to eat..."

"Wait a moment." Sun Hang raised his hand righteously.

"What are you waiting for?"

"I need to go home," Sun Hang said, "to get some things."

"Get what?"

"The pirated disc you gave me." Sun Hang said, "I can watch it a second or third time when I have nothing to do."

"That neighborhood has been bombed by bombers. Even if you can find those discs, they are all in rubble." Lao Wang narrowed his eyes. "You are not looking for discs, are you?"

"…see it but don't say it."

"What do you want to do when you get back?" Lao Wang sat down on the desk, his long legs crossed, his hands propped up on the table. "Don't worry, I won't stop you. I'm just curious."

"I have a feeling that the creature that attacked me directly might return to that neighborhood," Sun Hang said bluntly, "just like the murderer can't help but return to the crime scene to take a look after committing the crime."

"When did you have this premonition?"

"Just when I was coming back from the helicopter and passing by the ruins of that block from afar, this feeling came to me, and it became stronger and stronger."

"Could this be a trap to lure you in?" Lao Wang's expression suddenly became serious. "How about I go with you?"

"You stay here, your mission is to ensure the safety of Yang Qi and the others." Sun Hang said, "With my ability, even if I can't deal with them, at least I still have a chance to escape... If even I can't escape, then it's not safe for me to stay here, don't you think?"

"...That makes sense." Old Wang looked at Sun Hang with a complicated expression, "Then you should be more careful."

"Ah."

"By the way, although I can't go, there should be someone who can accompany you." Lao Wang suddenly said again.

"Who?"

"Zhong Ling, she just returned to the institute after completing her mission. The replenishment supplies from Chunming City the day before yesterday included a batch of processed ghost corpses. Now these ghost corpses should have been 'bound' to her... The individual combat power of these ghost corpses may not be strong, but they should be quite useful for searching ruins."

"Forget it. Since she just completed her mission, let her rest for a while." Sun Hang shook his head. "Besides, if she encounters some powerful monster, she has no fighting ability and it is too easy for an accident to happen."

"Too……"

……

……

Sun Hang walked out of the office and wiped his lips with his hand. There was still a burning taste in his mouth.

"I should have reminded Lao Wang to rinse his mouth after eating food with a spicy taste." Sun Hang muttered softly.

Taking the stairs to the garage on the underground first floor, Sun Hang randomly picked the most inconspicuous public car and waved his bracelet next to the door lock. With a beep, the door lock opened automatically and all the dashboard inside the car lit up.

Sun Hang did not intend to use Kuiniu's ability to speed up his journey - when he flew over that area before, he vaguely felt a familiar breath. This breath was somewhat similar to the biological monster in the power distribution room of the underground commercial street, but the subtle differences were not exactly the same.

Before Sun Hang could feel it carefully, the breath disappeared without any warning, as if it had been erased from existence by the "videotape".

He could only roughly determine that the location where the breath appeared was in the hunter villa area which had now turned into ruins, but he had no way of pinpointing where it was exactly.

Driving slowly is also about collecting as many clues as possible along the way.

The vehicle started, and before Sun Hang could step on the accelerator, the screen on the center console had already lit up, and Yang Qi's face, with a tired look and pale complexion, appeared on the screen.

"Wang Xiyi told me... I didn't keep any records of your operation, so no one except us will know where you are going." Yang Qi's words surprised Sun Hang. He thought she was trying to dissuade him. "Be careful. Also, if you encounter a strong enemy, remember to fire a signal flare. I will send reinforcements as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you." Sun Hang nodded and stepped on the accelerator.

With the low roar of the engine, the car suddenly accelerated and rushed out of the underground garage along the upward slope.

The checkpoints along the way allowed Sun Hang to pass through, and he quickly drove out of the park and headed towards his "former home".

It had been several months since the Eternal Night fell, and it had been more than a month since Tianfu City was put under martial law again after relaxing restrictions. The main roads in the city that were once crowded with people were now only driven by Sun Hang, a lone car, and looked extremely empty. From time to time, patrol cars of the Public Security Bureau could be seen parked on both sides of the road. Sheriffs wearing thick winter clothes leaned against the car doors and smoked. When they heard the sound of the car, they immediately looked towards Sun Hang, but when they saw the license plate of the research institute hanging in front of the car, they quickly put down their arms and continued to smoke.

This was originally one of the most prosperous commercial districts in Tianfu City. The high-rise buildings that were brightly lit a few months ago now look like the wreckage of a giant standing in the darkness. Only the aviation obstruction lights on the roof are still flashing at intervals of every two seconds.

Sun Hang felt that the vitality of the entire city was gradually fading and drying up... An atmosphere of loneliness and desolation gradually enveloped this prosperous land in the southwest of the Federation.

He didn’t know how long the eternal night would last; he also didn’t know how long Tianfu City could hold out.

Ever since the giant cocoon of Chimera No. 17 appeared, everyone's attention has been drawn to that thing. The various negative impacts that Eternal Night has brought to Shuzhou are no longer the problems that need to be solved first.

The car passed by another supermarket. The glass window on the street side of the supermarket was smashed to pieces, and the sidewalk was covered with broken tempered glass. The shelves inside the supermarket were empty. Two shopping carts were lying across the door. A palm-sized pair of children's shoes was lying quietly in the wire frame of one of the shopping carts.

Sun Hang has become accustomed to these scenes.

The order in Tianfu City is gradually collapsing. Although the Public Security Bureau and the military can still barely control the entire city, as the atmosphere of despair at the end of the world becomes increasingly intense, all kinds of unrest are almost inevitable.

Sun Hang suddenly thought, if Chimera No. 17 really destroyed Tianfu City, then all these problems should no longer exist, right?

Even if the pesticide plan succeeds and Chimera 17 can be eliminated by them, the situation in Tianfu City will probably not improve... With the productivity of the Xiazhou Federation, they may be able to hold on by giving blood transfusions to Shuzhou for ten years, but what about twenty or thirty years?
What if a similar major invasion of strange creatures breaks out somewhere else, like the one in Baikal?
Sun Hang suddenly remembered that he once half-jokingly said that Shuzhou might become the last bastion of human civilization during the Second Monster War... But the question came back again, how long can a fortress that never sees the day last?

From the perspective of human civilization, the situation seems to be getting no worse.

"squeak……"

Sun Hang stepped on the brakes, and the sound of tires rubbing against the ground was heard. The car stopped less than three meters away from the roadblock.

The bombed block was blocked off, and behind the roadblocks were yellow and black cordon tapes. Four fully armed soldiers were sitting around a military vehicle and chatting, but when they saw Sun Hang's car, they immediately stood up and trotted towards him.

"Comrade, there's a blockade ahead." A soldier came up to the car window. "Even if you're from the research institute, you can't go in without a permit."

"Besides, the blockade zone has just been bombed, and the ruins may very likely collapse again... The monsters inside may not all be eliminated. It is very dangerous to go in now." said another soldier.

"My mission is to investigate the blockade area." Sun Hang said as he got off the car.

The road ahead has been severely damaged, and even without a roadblock, the car cannot drive in.

"Do you have the permission document?" asked the soldier who spoke first. "Also, investigating the blockade area...are you the only one on this mission? This is too ridiculous!"

"I can't produce the license document right now. I don't know if this will allow me to pass." Sun Hang took out his hunter's license.

As soon as they saw the hunter's license, the expressions of the four soldiers changed immediately.

"Please let me get a call to my superiors!"

Half a minute later, the soldier who had walked aside to make a phone call came back to Sun Hang and returned his hunter license to him: "You can go in. If you need our assistance, please feel free to contact us."

"Okay. Thanks in advance." Sun Hang put away his license and strode into the ruins.

He just took a look at the weapons these soldiers carried. Their individual equipment was the standard configuration of three assault rifles and a shotgun. Two of the soldiers had folding riot shields hanging behind them. The most powerful weapon of the entire team was a 12.7mm caliber vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun installed on the roof of the vehicle.

As for throwing weapons, there are definitely some, but there shouldn't be many.

The firepower of this team is more than enough to deal with those zombie-like humanoid monsters...but if they encounter something like the mud monster, they will probably be slaughtered in minutes.

Sun Hang continued to walk forward, the soles of his boots making a crunching sound as they stepped on the broken rubble.

The air was filled with a strong smell of smoke and fire. Although the bombing was not carried out with incendiary bombs, it still caused a large-scale fire afterwards. Fortunately, the isolation work of the surrounding blocks was done very well and the fire did not spread.

From time to time, Sun Hang could see a few charred corpses lying on the ground. These were ordinary people who had been infected and transformed into strange people... Their actual combat power was no different from the weakest zombies in the early stages of the plot in those commercial zombie-themed movies.

A thought that was a bit "unmeritorious" suddenly popped up in Sun Hang's mind - if Tianfu City had not razed this place to the ground, but sealed it off and used it as a "site to experience" a biochemical crisis, many of the rich people in Chunming City or Shen City who had nothing to do and liked to experience excitement would have paid for it, right?

In order to generate income for Tianfu City, whose economy has completely stopped, this can be considered as another way out... It's a pity that as long as someone dares to come up with this idea, let alone implement it, I'm afraid that the person who comes up with this idea will be arrested on charges of crimes against humanity in the next second.

"It seems that I am really a bad guy." Sun Hang muttered self-deprecatingly, "But there is nothing wrong with it. After all, evil people are afraid of evil people..."

He suddenly stopped.

At this time, on his right hand side were the wreckage of several high-rise residential buildings, and on his left hand side was a scorched lawn with villas distributed at regular intervals on the lawn...but now these villas have all become ruins, and there are even several villa ruins that used more combustible materials, and the fire has not yet been completely extinguished.

Following the cobblestone path that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Sun Hang came to a ruin.

He is home.

As the psychic was captured, the mud monster she created also dissipated. At this time, apart from dozens of charred corpses, there was almost nothing related to strange creatures around the ruins.

The faint breath that Sun Hang had felt on the helicopter before never appeared.

"Could it be... an illusion?"
