Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 426 The mysterious shadow reappears
"It seems that we can only hope for the third wave of attack?" Sun Hang said, "By the way, what is the third wave of attack? You didn't have time to tell me just now."

"Forty-two kilometers east of Chimera 17, there is a division-level artillery position. This position was originally planned to provide fire support during the final combat operation. I just asked the logistics department to urgently produce a batch of liquid nitrogen shells. When the time comes, we will use the existing incendiary bombs to carry out multiple rounds of covering artillery bombardment..."

"It's commonly known as 'Ice and Fire'. You should understand what it means, right?" Song Yarong's voice interrupted.

“Ahem…” Yang Qi coughed awkwardly twice. “Odd-numbered rounds of bombardment will use liquid nitrogen shells to freeze the minions on the surface of Chimera No. 17, and then in even-numbered rounds of bombardment, incendiary bombs will be used to quickly heat up the frozen minions… Compared to aerial bombardment and laser irradiation, the advantage of bombardment is that it can attack for a long time and in multiple rounds, which can remove the minions on the surface of the cocoon to the greatest extent…”

"Then the question is, are there enough shells?" Sun Hang asked.

"The logistics department told me that at least sixteen rounds of artillery fire can be guaranteed."

……

"So, what are we waiting for now?" Fukada Miki stopped staring at Chimera No. 17 and sat down on a relatively flat rock nearby. "If we wait any longer, the faces that were just burned will probably be almost restored."

Sun Hang casually pulled a piece of dry weeds from the cracks in the rocks and held it in his mouth, saying, "Wait for the shells."

What Sun Hang didn't expect was that after hearing what Fukada Miki said, it was Yang Qi who couldn't sit still in the communication channel: "The accomplice can recover by himself? Is this the latest change you have observed?"

"I... I don't know either." Fukada Miki spread her hands. "What I mean is, these faces are stacked up layer by layer, just like human skin cells. If the upper layer is damaged, the lower layer will fill in... Isn't it just like a wound healing?"

"It's different!" Yang Qi said seriously, "We must make sure whether those eliminated grudges have the ability to be reborn!"

"How can we be sure?" asked Fukada Miki.

"Observe whether there are faces of the same victims among the mobs before and after the first feint attack." Yang Qi said, "I am borrowing the computing power of the research institute's supercomputer to compare and analyze the video footage sent back from Bunker No. 1... In about 20 seconds, the analysis results will be out!"

"Then how long do we have to wait?" asked Miki Fukada, swinging her legs boredly.

"It will take some time to modify the liquid nitrogen shells... The logistics department told me that it will take at least thirty minutes." Yang Qi replied.

"so long?"

"It's already pretty fast. After all, it's a temporary battle plan." Yang Qi sighed, "I have used the authority given to me by the higher-ups to the maximum extent..."

"Let me translate it for you," Song Yarong interrupted again, "Director Yang's meaning is that the logistics department is almost being driven to death by her, and it's useless to force them any further... After all, if they really drive them to death, who will do the job?"

"All the people who can be sent from the logistics department have been sent out. If I could leave this room, I would personally go to the factory to fill the shells." Yang Qi said, "We can only wait."

"Okay, okay." Fukada Miki sighed and turned to look at Sun Hang, "We have to wait anyway, why don't you go first?"

"let me try?"

"Aren't you very powerful? Let me see how many accomplices you can kill!"

Before Sun Hang could reply, Yang Qi shouted in the communication channel, "No! Absolutely not!"

"…I was just joking. Don't be nervous." Fukada Miki said quickly, "Am I the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation?"

"It's hard to say." Sun Hang shook his head.

"Can't you give me a way out?" Fukada Miki gave Sun Hang a middle finger, "Luckily I'm not the kind of person who cares too much about face, otherwise you would be in big trouble this time."

"If you really want to cause trouble, I have plenty of ways to deal with it..." Sun Hang paused halfway through his words, "Tsk, it seems like trouble has really come to me."

"What?" Yang Qi's tone suddenly became a little anxious, "Is there any situation over there?"

"Look for yourself." Sun Hang turned on the camera of his mobile phone and aimed it at the mountainside.

I saw a black shadow slowly invading upwards along the mountain. Under the cover of night, this shadow was extremely difficult to be discovered, but Sun Hang's keen sense of danger allowed him to discover the abnormality at the first time.

"What is that?!" Fukada Miki also noticed the shadow gradually approaching the top of the mountain, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"I don't know, but it's very similar to a strange creature I once encountered." Sun Hang frowned and said, "But that strange creature should have been destroyed."

"You mean... the shadow of time and space?" Yang Qi said in surprise.

As someone who had been "swallowed" by the ghost of time and space, she naturally understood how perverted this creature was.

If we have to rank the ability of the Space-Time Shadow, it would definitely be ranked second only to Eternal Night... If Sun Hang had not discovered the weakness of the Space-Time Shadow in time, once that thing was allowed to "spread", its destructiveness would only be higher than that of Chimera No. 17, not less.

After all, Chimera No. 17's attack methods are still within the scope of what can be explained by physics, but the space-time shadow... that thing can completely subvert human's conventional cognition.

"It shouldn't be the time and space ghost... at least, not the original one."

Only Sun Hang knew that it was not him who actually wiped out the Spacetime Phantom, but the three apes... All three apes had taken action, so the Spacetime Phantom must have been "dead" beyond all possibility... There was absolutely no possibility of resurrection...

wrong.

What if the concept of "survival and death" does not exist in "Time and Space Ghost" at all?
It was initially classified as a phenomenon-type weirdo... and for a certain phenomenon, its state is only appearance, continuation or disappearance, and it cannot be defined by whether it is destroyed or not.

It's like a gust of wind. You can't kill the wind... the wind will stop and blow again... as long as the air can flow, the wind will never disappear from this world.

The same is true for phenomenal strange things.

"Reconnaissance mission aborted! Get out of there quickly!" Yang Qi said urgently.

"What is the Space-Time Phantom? Is it very powerful?" Fukada Miki asked like a curious baby, "What would happen if it touched me?" "Don't ask me yet, just find a way to leave! If you come back alive, I will show you everything related to it in the archives!" Yang Qi spoke quickly, "I will tell you whatever you want to know... but not now!"

"I seem to know why we are being targeted." Sun Hang raised his head and turned the camera of his mobile phone to the sky.

I saw a huge eyeball floating in the air hundreds of meters above the top of the mountain, and the eyeball's huge pupil was facing the three people on the top of the mountain.

"It's the devil's eye..." Yang Qi said gritting his teeth.

"To be precise, it's the projection of the Demon Eye." Sun Hang corrected, "This thing has no mass, no aura of weird things, and other than being observable by the naked eye, its existence in other aspects is almost zero. To a blind person, this thing is almost non-existent..."

"When were we targeted?" asked Miki Fukada.

"I don't know. Normally, I would feel something when anyone is staring at me. Even when those foes are staring at me through the screen, I can feel their gazes. But the projection of the Demon Eye is different... Even now when I look up and look at it, I feel that its eyes are empty and lifeless, with no focus at all..."

"So you can't sense its presence?"

"Yeah." Sun Hang nodded. "I just looked up accidentally and found this thing hanging above our heads. I've said it before, in terms of information acquisition, this thing is like a plug-in."

Sun Hang first looked up to find the "real body" of the ghost in the air, but he did not find the real body of the ghost. Instead, he saw the projection of the magic eye that was spying on them.

"That shadow is already two-thirds of the way up the mountain... How are we going to get down?" Fukada Miki leaned out to take another look. "Hiss... It seems to be spreading faster!"

"I've asked the nearest military camp to send out a helicopter... but at this speed, it's too late!" Yang Qi said, "Sun Hang, you should have a solution, right?"

"There is a way." Sun Hang nodded and walked to the steepest side of the cliff. "Jump off the mountain."

"It's going to kill people, right?" Fukada Miki glanced at him, "Are you kidding?"

Although this hill is not high, there is still a drop of four or five hundred meters. If you jump from this height, even if there is an air cushion below to catch you, you will probably die.

"You can't die." As soon as the words fell, thousands of Tai Sui mycelium had wrapped Fukada Miki and Zhong Ling like dumplings.

Sun Hang glanced at the No. 1 ghost standing on the edge of the cliff and asked, "You should be able to get down by yourself, right?"

Skeleton No. 1 did not speak, but proved itself with actions - it leaped forward, and its light body rolled twice in the air. The next second, it suddenly opened its arms, and a layer of wing membrane as thin as a cicada's wing was connected between its arms and body without knowing when.

Although this layer of wing membrane is very thin, it is quite strong. The moment it catches the air, the falling speed of the No. 1 strange body drops sharply, and in the blink of an eye it changes from free fall to dive and glide.

"Let's go too."

Sun Hang also jumped out, and the mycelium gushing out from his back formed a huge parachute above his head. In fact, even if Sun Hang didn't need a cushion, with his physical strength, he would have no problem landing directly. However, the same could not be said for the two girls who were tied to his side by his mycelium.

The distance between the three people and the ground was rapidly shortening. Sun Hang noticed that the area adjacent to the hill had also been swallowed up by the ghost shadow, and the car they drove had disappeared - it was obvious that the car had been "teleported" to another time and space by the ghost shadow.

A thought suddenly popped up in Sun Hang’s mind: If he deliberately fell into the space-time shadow at this time, would the three monkeys suddenly appear and kill this space-time shadow?

He glanced at the expressions of the two women beside him. Zhong Ling still had no expression on her face, while Fukada Miki's face was a mixture of excitement and fear, and her mouth was silently open... Sun Hang thought about it and gave up the idea.

People should be moral... Even if you want to commit suicide, it is best not to take others with you.

And Sun Hang has always been a "very moral" person.

Adaptive morality is also morality.

Using electromagnetic acceleration to slightly increase the distance between them and the mountain, the three of them landed less than a hundred meters away from the secret camp. The field operators in the secret camp had already run out, and several cars hidden under camouflage cloth were started, waiting for them with their doors open.

"Hurry up and get in the car!" The fan operator who exchanged pistols with Sun Hang shouted anxiously, "The instrument shows that the range of the ghost is expanding. In a few minutes, it will spread to the camp!"

Sun Hang threw Fukada Miki and Zhong Ling, who had just been freed from their trapped state, into the back seat of the car, and got into the passenger seat himself. Before he could sit firmly, the car suddenly sank slightly - the No. 1 skeleton landed on the roof accurately and hooked the luggage racks on both sides of the roof with its claw-like ten fingers.

"Are there enough cars in the camp for everyone to evacuate?" Sun Hang asked.

"There's no problem evacuating the personnel!" said the field operator in charge of driving, "but I'm afraid we won't have time to take away the equipment..."

"At least the data storage device has been loaded into the car!" The fan operator also got into the back seat and pulled the door shut. "Drive quickly! Damn, that shadow is getting faster again! It's less than a hundred meters away from us!!"

In his hand, he held an instrument that looked like an old-fashioned radio. There were several metal antennas on the top of the instrument. Along with the rapid flashing of red and green indicator lights on the side of the instrument, the instrument was making rapid beeping sounds, and the frequency of the sound was constantly increasing.

Several cars were started and lined up in a long snake-like queue, heading out of the valley. Not long after the car at the end of the queue drove out, the sunroof opened, and a field operator holding a rocket launcher leaned out, swearing while firing a rocket at the camp that had already half "melted" into the shadows.

The expected explosion did not occur. After the rocket entered the shadow, it disappeared like a drop in the ocean without any sound.

Just like the dozen missiles that were fired at the space-time shadow that night.

"How are you doing?" Yang Qi asked in the communication channel.

"The good news is that we have escaped, and the shadow should not be able to catch up for the time being." Sun Hang said, "The bad news is that Fukada Miki's existence has been exposed."

"Exposed? How is that possible?" Fukada Miki was stunned. "That Demon Eye doesn't have ears. Even if it does, it's so far away from us, how could it hear what we're talking about?"

"No need to listen." Sun Hang pointed to his lips, "Just look at the shape of your lips, that's enough."
