Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 425 Feint Attack
The small hills on the edge of the restricted area are all wild mountains and have never been developed, not to mention stone steps, plank roads and the like. Some places are so steep that it is difficult to climb up even using hands and feet... It has to be said that the description of the Shuzhou territory by the poet Li Bai was still very appropriate.

"The road to Shu is harder than climbing to the sky."

In terms of physical fitness, both Fukada Miki and Zhong Ling can only be considered to be at an average level for young human women. Without the assistance of professional equipment, this level of free climbing is still very difficult for them.

Fortunately, there were Sun Hang and Ghost No. 1. The two of them (?) each carried a young girl on their backs, and climbed up the nearly vertical cliff as if it were flat ground. It only took them three minutes to reach the top of the mountain.

However, what made Sun Hang speechless was that after they reached the top of the mountain, when Zhong Ling looked at Fukada Miki who climbed down from Sun Hang's back, a flash of complex look flashed in his eyes, and then the whole person returned to his usual state of being nothing.

"Tsk, what a bad idea." A playful smile appeared on Fukada Miki's lips, and she gently pulled Sun Hang's sleeve, "You should have changed it just now. Now the little girl is jealous, why don't you go and comfort her?"

Sun Hang suddenly felt that women's insight in certain aspects was indeed terrifyingly strong - Zhong Ling's eyes changed so briefly that Sun Hang had to use bullet time to capture this fleeting moment, but Fukada Miki clearly felt her emotional changes and pointed it out incisively.

"Little girl? If I remember correctly, Zhong Ling should be older than you, right?" In order to avoid embarrassment, Sun Hang directly changed the subject, "At least, she is an adult."

"It's better for you to be an adult, so that people won't accuse you of smelting copper." Fukada Miki said with a grin.

At this moment, Zhong Ling, who had been silent all this time, suddenly came over silently, first looked at Fukada Miki, then looked at Sun Hang, and said lightly: "I'm not jealous."

Fukada Miki: “?”

"I'm just a little envious of you." Zhong Ling said to Fukada Miki.

Sun Hang and Fukada Miki: “???”

"Wang Xiyi told me that Sun Hang will have many women in the future, and asked me to be mentally prepared." Zhong Ling said in an extremely serious tone, "So I won't be jealous, I'm just envious."

"Why? F*ck!" Fukada Miki, whose brain had just recovered from its shutdown state, suddenly cursed, "Girl, what do you like about this guy? Why are you so devoted to him?"

Zhong Ling didn't answer, and a faint blush flashed across her fair cheeks.

Fukada Miki caught the light red at the first sight, and her eyes widened instantly: "You...you two have already done it, right? No, no, no, even if something happened, this is the era now. You can't hold on to the old-fashioned concept of being faithful to one person! That's all rubbish! You can totally pursue the person you like!"

"He is the person I like." Zhong Ling said seriously.

The straight shot from the "three-no" girl always has an unexpected power, which immediately silenced Fukada Miki.

Fukada Miki stood there for a few seconds, then slowly exhaled a breath of foul air. Then, he slumped down as if all his strength had been drained away, and said dejectedly, "I'm tired. Let's destroy it... There's no need for this world to exist anymore."

"Before the destruction, let's work first." Sun Hang patted Fukada Miki's arm hard, put the two packages taken from the car on the ground, and took out the equipment inside one by one.

The view from the top of the mountain was indeed very good, but from this position, they were thirty-seven kilometers away from the giant cocoon of Chimera No. 17. In addition, there was a heavy rain curtain between them. Looking from here in the direction of Chimera No. 17, they could only vaguely see a fuzzy, dim light spot that almost merged with the rain curtain.

Even if Fukada Miki's ability allows her to see a target thirty-seven kilometers away, the red frames used to indicate "flaws" will completely cover the target, making it impossible to tell whether it is a flaw of the accomplice, a flaw of Chimera No. 17 itself, or a flaw of a monster that happened to pass through the observation line of sight between the observation point and the target point.

Sun Hang used liquid metal to create an absolutely horizontal base on the top of the mountain, and then fixed two tripods on this base.

Next, he took out a device that looked almost exactly like a total station and mounted it on a tripod. He then took out a telescope tube that was nearly one meter long and mounted it on another tripod. Then he connected the two devices together, and a super optical telescope was assembled.

"Song Yarong told me that this telescope can see things fifty kilometers away when the weather conditions are good." Sun Hang said, glancing at the misty rain curtain in the distance... These weather conditions have nothing to do with the word "good" at all.

"It's okay. One of the abilities of the 'Eye of Death' is that it can lock onto a target." Fukada Miki said, "As long as the target is not so far away that it is blocked by the curvature of the earth, no matter how blurry the image is, as long as the conditions for direct vision are met, I can still see its flaws."

"That's good. You know how to adjust the parameters of this thing, right?" Sun Hang said.

"Yes. There were several missions with higher risk factors before, and they also asked me to use a telescope from a distance to determine the flaws of the target monster. These things are almost the same to operate." Fukada Miki said, having taken off her goggles, moved behind the total station, and skillfully turned the fine-tuning knob on the side of the instrument.

Sun Hang did not continue to stare at Fukada Miki, but looked into the distance - he did not need a telescope, he only needed to issue a few instructions in his mind, and Chimera 17, 37 kilometers away, would become as close as if it were right in front of him...

The only problem is that it takes a lot of mana to maintain this "clairvoyance" state.

Sun Hang glanced at his bracelet and saw that there were still more than four minutes left before the agreed time for the feint attack.

He temporarily shut down his abilities and stood beside Miki Fukada, silently waiting for time to approach the feint attack time point.

"Can you see clearly?" Sun Hang asked.

"It's very clear... Tsk, these faces really make me feel uncomfortable." Fukada Miki muttered.

"You'll just get used to it."

"I even saw a face squeezed out of another face's mouth. That face was almost squeezed in half, but it was still fucking smiling... I admit that I'm a brave girl, but when I look at these things, I always feel creepy." Fukada Miki complained.

"You should be thankful that they have their eyes closed," Sun Hang said. "If they had their eyes open and looked at you through the telescope, you would be even more uncomfortable."

"That requires more money, no, more vacation time," said Fukada Miki. "After this job is done, I must be allowed to take at least half a year off, otherwise I will never be able to erase this psychological trauma."

"You said that as if you were setting a flag." Sun Hang couldn't help but complain.

"Bah, then I wish you two can get married after you kill Chimera No. 17, and live happily ever after!" Fukada Miki said in a curse-like tone, "It's just a flag-raising, who's afraid of who!"

But what she didn't expect was that before Sun Hang could reply, Zhong Ling at the side spoke up: "Thank you."

Fukada Miki fell into silence again. "There is only one minute left before the feint attack." Sun Hang stared at the bracelet and said, "Fifty-nine seconds."

"I'm staring at you," said Fukada Miki. "Don't bother me! Who counts down from sixty?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a roar of engines and the sound of wings tearing through the air from behind. Sun Hang turned around and saw a long-range bombing formation of twelve planes passing over their heads at a very fast speed, flying towards the west along the border of the restricted area.

Sun Hang: “Thirty seconds.”

"Who will carry out the first wave of feint attacks? The planes that just passed by?" Fukada Miki asked, "Which position are they attacking?"

"No, they are the second wave." Sun Hang said.

“Who’s in the first wave?”

"You'll know soon... in fifteen seconds." Sun Hang said, "Just a friendly reminder, remember to lower the brightness."

"what?"

"Ten seconds."

"Hey, let me ask you, what does it mean to lower the brightness? Do you mean to be careful about the light radiation released by a nuclear explosion?" asked Miki Fukada.

"The last three seconds."

An extremely dazzling beam of light burst out from a valley on the west side of Chimera No. 17. In the blink of an eye, it crossed a distance of dozens of kilometers and accurately shone on the giant cocoon of Chimera No. 17!
"Fuck, my eyes!" Fukada Miki cursed immediately.

"I reminded you to lower the brightness... Chimera 17, no, those accomplices, have there been any changes?"

"They seem to be melting...quickly...no, very slowly."

“Is it fast or slow?”

"The speed is about the same as putting a whole piece of butter into boiling water," said Fukada Miki. "But for this level of laser irradiation, this melting speed is already very slow... I once participated in a hunting operation that also used this large laser weapon. It only took 0.2 seconds to melt a big hole in a half-meter thick alloy wall... In comparison, the melting speed of these monster faces is already very slow."

Sun Hang stopped talking and once again activated his "clairvoyance" ability.

The brightness of the illuminated area was very high. Without a special optical filter, the field of vision was almost entirely white, and nothing could be seen clearly... Sun Hang had to modify the range of his clairvoyance to a certain extent before he could barely see the conditions of the mobs in the illuminated area.

Just as Fukada Miki said, the culprits were melting rapidly like wax figures roasted by flames...but when the surface layer of culprits melted away, a new layer of culprits appeared underneath.

There is more than one layer of these minions, which means that the number of minions on the surface of Chimera 17 is far more than the more than 10,000 estimated by AI.

The laser irradiation lasted only fourteen seconds, but even so, the high-brightness laser still left a white afterimage on Sun Hang's retina. He blinked several times before the afterimage barely faded away.

Sun Hang calculated that fourteen seconds of continuous exposure only melted the top four layers of grievances, but beneath these four layers, there were still more grievances that had not been exposed.

At least from the last second of irradiation, it can be seen that under the fifth layer that has not been completely melted, there is still a sixth layer.

This armor is really thick.

"The laser irradiation effect is not good." Sun Hang said in the communication channel, "According to our observations, there are many layers of grudges on the surface of Chimera 17. At present, at least six layers have been observed... Can you find a way to make the laser irradiation last longer?"

"Not longer." Yang Qi replied in the communication channel, "Fourteen seconds is the limit of what we can do at present. The core of the laser transmitter has burned out, and there was even a small-scale explosion, resulting in casualties... If we need to increase the exposure time, we need a more advanced core and a more complete cooling device... We can't get those things for a while."

"By the time of the final combat operation, how many seconds can the laser irradiation time be increased to?" Sun Hang asked.

"I asked the technicians in charge of this project, and they said that twenty-five seconds is the limit they can achieve within the time limit."

"Twenty-five seconds may not be enough. Just PASS it." Sun Hang said.

"The bomber formation carrying out the mission has arrived at the mission area. The second wave of feint attack will be launched in thirty seconds. They will launch six hundred laser-guided missiles at Chimera 17 in four seconds. Seventy-two of these missiles are equipped with tactical nuclear warheads... They are the protagonists of the second wave of feint attack. The remaining more than five hundred missiles are fake targets used to attract the firepower of Chimera 17..."

Before Yang Qi could finish her words, the second wave of feint attack had already begun.

The dense barrage of bullets spread out like a huge net, surrounding Chimera No. 17 from all directions.

The next second, dozens of energy beams shot out from Chimera No. 17, accurately exploding dozens of missiles in the barrage that looked no different from other missiles. However, the flames from the explosions of these missiles suddenly swallowed up all the missiles in a large area of ​​the surrounding airspace.

Even without Yang Qi's reminder, Sun Hang could see that the missiles detonated by the energy beam were all those equipped with tactical nuclear warheads.

"The second wave of feint attack failed..." Yang Qi's tone was a little powerless, "Chimera 17's perception ability is too sharp... It can't hide the nuclear warheads mixed in with ordinary missiles..."

"I have a suggestion." Sun Hang said.

"what?"

"Don't try to confuse the real with the fake. Why don't you just equip all the missiles with tactical nuclear warheads?"

"I want to, but the Air Force base doesn't have that many tactical nuclear warheads in stock." Yang Qi sighed, "These 72 are all we have."
