Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 72 Shadowless Lamp

"Shadow? What shadow?" The person on the other end of the line obviously didn't understand what Sun Hang was talking about.

"The giant strange creature in the sky projects a shadow on the ground, which can produce an effect similar to space-time anomalies, speeding up the flow of time for all objects in the range. According to our judgment, this thing is the culprit of the recent series of events." Sun Hang said.

"But... according to our observations, the sphere in the sky is probably the shadow of the strange creature!" Another voice interrupted, "This is the Tianfu City Weird Thing Research Institute. After the strange creature appeared, we immediately used all available equipment to survey it. In addition to being able to be observed under visible light conditions, the sphere in the sky has zero mass and energy reaction. Instead, the meme frequency of an unknown strange creature was detected directly below the sphere."

Sun Hang glanced at Ye Jiu, who was panting and leaning on his wolf-fang spear, and asked, "Can you use that big move again? Attack that thing in the sky?"

"You... do you think I'm a character in a game? The cooldown time for a big move is only a few minutes..." Ye Jiu's speech was a little incoherent.

"How long will it take you to recover?"

"In my current state, I can only barely keep pace with the Trickster Equipment... You can basically assume that I have lost my combat capability." Ye Jiu said in a low voice, "It will take at least fifteen minutes to recover my combat capability... As for the attack just now, I can't perform it a second time today."

"Okay, I understand." Sun Hang switched back to the military communication channel, "Are there any fighter jets available at Longquanyi Base now?"

"Falcon Squadron has three Type 20s on standby at the base, ready to attack at any time. In addition, one Type 16 and two Type 10s from the Dragon Squadron have just returned to the base and are refueling and refueling. They are expected to be ready to attack in eight minutes."

"Immediately have the Falcon Squadron take off and attack the giant monster in the air." Sun Hang said, "My suggestion is to fire all your missiles directly after entering the effective range, and strike with saturation firepower. Don't make any attempts, strike once and flee far away, and don't stay in the airspace for any reason."

"Applying to the superior - the application has been approved. The long-range missile strike will arrive in forty-five seconds. Please be careful to avoid the area affected by the explosion!"

"Apart from fighter jets, is there any other anti-aircraft firepower around Tianfu City that can hit this thing?" Ye Jiu took off his helmet, pressed the communicator stuck on his earlobe, and asked.

"No... Tianfu City's air defense weapons are basically concentrated on the South City Bridge. A large number of strange creatures with flying and floating abilities have appeared there. The air defense firepower is very tight and cannot be deployed at all!"

"Where are the first batch of armored reinforcements? If I remember correctly, that convoy included at least four tanks equipped with anti-aircraft missiles and - cough - cough!" Ye Jiu asked. Perhaps because he spoke too quickly, he started coughing violently before he finished his sentence.

"The armored reinforcements were attacked by strange creatures on their way into the city and have lost contact... The last time we heard from them was nine minutes ago."

"Let the fighter jets launch a round of attacks first." Sun Hang raised his head and stared at the spherical monster in the sky, not sure whether it was a shadow or a real body... He seemed to have thought of something vaguely, but the thought was fleeting and soon disappeared from his mind.

As one of the most advanced fighter jets in the Xiazhou Federation, the Type 20 has the ability to strike beyond visual range. Sun Hang didn't even see the shadow of the fighter jet before more than a dozen missiles, dragging long flame tails, crashed into his field of vision and then accurately hit the spherical monster in the air.

Nothing happened.

After the dozen missiles entered the body of the strange creature, they disappeared like a drop in the ocean. There was no sound of explosion or fire, nor did they penetrate from the other end of the body. It was as if they had disappeared from this world, leaving no trace. "The missile signal is lost! No explosion reaction was detected!" The officer in charge of communications at the base exclaimed in a low voice, "The missiles... It's like they were eaten by it!"

"No obvious changes have been found in the form of the weird creature, and its mass and energy are still zero." The people at the Weird Creature Research Institute were relatively calm, but this calmness only lasted for less than two seconds. "Wait a minute! There is an energy reaction! But it's not in the sky! It's underground! Calculations are being made... The results are out! The energy reaction is basically equal to the number of missiles launched by the military!"

"You felt it too, right?" Sun Hang pointed at the shadow that was spreading upwards, "where those missiles were going."

“Hmm… cough cough cough…” Ye Jiu coughed again and raised his hand to wipe away the blood foam from the corner of his mouth. “After the missile hit the spherical monster in the air… cough cough cough… it was transferred to the shadow on the ground in an unknown way.”

"And this shadow is completely immune to physical attacks. Let alone a dozen missiles, even if a Big Ivan is thrown at it, it will probably be able to swallow it." Sun Hang continued, "By the way, why does your cough feel like you're going to cough out your internal organs? Are you going to die?"

"It's a small matter... cough cough cough... I won't die." Ye Jiu waved his hand, "It's just the backlash caused by excessive use of the strange equipment... cough cough... You don't need to worry about it."

"I don't care about you, I'm just confirming with you." Sun Hang said, "If your answer is that you are hopeless, then I will kick you off the roof without hesitation."

"Are you sick?" Ye Jiu glared at Sun Hang.

"I need a test subject to confirm what the result will be after the contact between the ghost and humans." Sun Hang said, "You are qualified to use the ghost equipment, and you are not infected by the ghost virus. You are the most suitable person to be the test subject."

"Why don't you experiment on yourself?"

"Have you ever seen a mouse using a scalpel to cut open its own abdomen?" Sun Hang glanced at him. "I suddenly have an idea."

"What's your idea?" Ye Jiu looked at Sun Hang warily, and moved a short distance away from the edge of the rooftop without leaving any trace.

"Just now we were talking about dissecting mice, which suddenly reminded me of the shadowless lamp that is often used on the operating table... I was thinking, if we use a shadowless lamp to surround that thing in the sky at a 360-degree angle... will it still have a shadow?" Sun Hang muttered.

"What a huge platform that would take... No, we have a way to do it... Ahem!" A hint of excitement flashed in Ye Jiu's eyes. "Hello! Hello! Can you hear me? I'm Ye Jiu, I want to talk directly to the highest military commander of Longquanyi Base!"

Ten seconds later, a slightly haggard voice appeared in the communication channel: "I am the head of the Disaster Countermeasures Committee. I am talking to you directly, bypassing the military chief of Longquanyi Base. If you have any ideas, you can tell me directly."

"Mobilize all the helicopters, rotorcraft, drones in Tianfu City... No, all the aircraft with the ability to hover in the air in the entire Shuzhou area, requisition them all! In addition to various trucks, cranes, and special vehicles used to create stage lighting effects, I also need a large number of searchlights! High-brightness light sources! Ahem... install them all on these vehicles!" Ye Jiu said incoherently, "We need a large combined light source with a 360-degree coverage to cover the thing above Tianfu City! Do you understand what I mean? Shadowless light! The kind used on operating tables! That's the effect I want!! "
