Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 60 Eternal Night
"To be honest, I am more concerned about the 'Eternal Night' that Song Yarong mentioned, which covers the entire Shuzhou area." Sun Hang said.

This was the first time that Sun Hang encountered a strange creature whose serial number could be ranked in the top three, and it was a phenomenon-type strange creature whose difficulty was second only to the "Type A·Rule Type".

Although the serial number cannot fully represent the strength of a monster, all the monsters that can be ranked in the top ten, no matter which category they are in, are not easy to deal with.

Every time a strange creature with a single-digit serial number appears in human vision, it means the coming of a disaster.

"The last time 'Eternal Night' appeared was in the year 4533 of the lunar calendar, and its coverage area was the entire Hexi Corridor area, plus most of Liangzhou." Ye Xuan said seriously.

"4533? But Song Yarong told me that the Eternal Night disappeared for 4533 years..." Sun Hang frowned, realizing the problem. "Don't tell me that the 'Eternal Night' that appeared in lasted for more than years, right?"

"To be precise, it was fifty-five years, nine months and twenty days," Ye Xuan said, "starting from September 4533, 9 in the lunar calendar and ending on July 12, 4589 in the lunar calendar. According to historical records, the entire Hexi Corridor area never saw the sun all year round, the vegetation withered, plagues raged, and poisonous insects and ferocious beasts ran rampant. Nine out of ten houses in the four cities of Hexi - Xiliang, Suzhou, Ganzhou, and Shadu - were empty, and the number of refugees was in the millions."

"This time, the 'eternal night' will not last for decades, right?" Sun Hang glanced at the night sky outside the cabin and said in a low voice.

"I don't know." Ye Xuan shook her head. "The longest recorded Eternal Night lasted for more than three hundred years, and the shortest was only four months. There is no pattern to follow. In addition, there is one more thing you, as hunters, must pay attention to."

"what?"

"During the duration of the Eternal Night, the 'Yi Liu Blood Moon' will definitely appear on any full moon night." Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, "Therefore, according to the arrangement of the Disaster Countermeasures Committee, no matter what the combat situation is, on the day before the full moon night, all monster hunters must withdraw from the Eternal Night coverage area."

"It seems that this commander has more brains than those good-for-nothings in Tianfu City." Sun Hang commented.

"It's not a long-term solution to keep sending troops and hunters to stop the monsters." Ye Xuan's tone was a little heavy. "If the Eternal Night lasts for more than three months, the Federation should start to implement an immigration plan to relocate the people in Shuzhou to other places... If the Eternal Night lasts for more than a year, the plan to abandon Shuzhou will be put on the table."

"In other words, if we can't handle this problem, the human activity area will shrink again, right?" Sun Hang said.

"It's not a question of whether we can handle it or not... but a question of how long the 'Eternal Night' will last." Ye Xuan corrected, "For the 'Eternal Night', the only measure we can take is to wait for it to disappear on its own."

"Then if Yongye appears in Chunming City, the capital of the Federation, will you also abandon Chunming City?"

"Yes." Ye Xuan nodded.

"Tsk...if the Eternal Night covers the entire Xiazhou continent, then do we all have to die?"

"In theory, that's right." Ye Xuan said calmly, "The so-called defense line of mankind is actually so fragile that it can't withstand a single blow."

Just when Sun Hang wanted to ask something, a sharp and piercing cry suddenly came from the city below.

"It's not a sound that a human can make." Wang Xiyi reacted immediately, "Hover in place!"

"OK!" The black guy responded immediately and controlled the helicopter to hover in the air.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a bloated humanoid creature sitting on the rooftop of an office building. The creepy crying sound came from this humanoid creature.

"Do you have a telescope?" Sun Hang asked. A member of the special operations team quickly took out a small and exquisite monocular telescope from his bag and handed it to Sun Hang.

With the help of a telescope, Sun Hang could see clearly that it was a creature that looked like a "human female" with a high bulge in the abdomen. Compared with her bloated torso, her limbs were extremely thin. This reminded Sun Hang of the skinny girl he had met at the breakfast stall before.

Its messy and dirty long hair covered its cheeks, but its pale skin was covered with purple and red corpse spots. On one of its legs was a rusty shackle, and half of a rusty iron chain was connected to the shackle at one end, and the other end was dragged directly on the ground.

There is no doubt that this is a strange creature.

"How could a strange creature appear here?" The team member who handed the telescope to Sun Hang whispered, "Has the defense line at the South City Bridge been breached?"

"It should be just a fish that slipped through the net." Ye Xuan shook her head. "If the South City Bridge had been breached, the Tianfu City area would have been littered with corpses by now."

"This strange creature... I found a file in the database that matches its characteristics exactly." Yang Lian, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke.

"Oh? Is this a discovered strange object?"

"'Bing634. Pregnant Girl'. It was discovered sixty-five years ago and was destroyed sixty-five years ago as well." Yang Lian said.

"Pregnant girl?" Sun Hang repeated the name. "You mean, there is actually a baby in its bulging belly?"

"Well, this strange creature is also involved in a murder case that happened 65 years ago... The two parties involved were a couple in the passionate love period. After they had been together for half a year, the woman found out that she was unexpectedly pregnant... You have to know that in that era, it was a very serious matter for a woman to get pregnant before marriage. Not only would the woman be criticized by society, but the man's future would also be greatly affected. Driven by various factors, the man took extreme measures to control his girlfriend and fabricated the illusion that she had disappeared unexpectedly."

Yang Lian paused and continued, "A few months later, the woman had a difficult birth, and the man buried her and her unborn child together."

"...At first glance, it's confirmed to be a pure birth." Sun Hang complained.

"But what the man didn't expect was that although the woman had a lot of bleeding due to dystocia, she didn't die on the spot, but just went into shock... Later, the sheriffs found signs of struggle in the grave where the woman was buried, and a lot of soil fragments in her respiratory tract, which means that the woman woke up after being buried alive - dystocia was not the direct cause of her death, but being buried alive was."

"Well, now that you put it that way, the man is even more of a beast." Sun Hang said, "But I'm a little curious, how did this girl turn into a monster? Could it be because of resentment?"

"This has not been ascertained yet." Yang Lian continued, "In short, after she transformed into a strange creature, she dug her own grave and crawled out, sneaked into the man's home, and killed all six members of his family."

"Damn."

"After killing the man's entire family, the creature then went after the man's relatives one by one based on the closeness of their blood relationship, and killed them in an extremely cruel way... By the time the creature hunters found it, it had already killed four families, with a total of 21 people dead."

"Tsk, having such a scumbag relative... is really unlucky." Sun Hang sighed, "Then how was this weird creature eliminated?"

Although the experience of the "pregnant girl" before her death was tragic and infuriating... but no matter what, since she has become a monster, she must be eliminated.

Otherwise, according to her revenge logic, a large number of innocent people would probably suffer from the disaster - after all, no one can guarantee that there is even the slightest blood relationship between herself and the scumbag back then.
