Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 80 "Blue Bar"

"Ha, although I won't live to see that day," Wang Xiyi raised the can in her hand towards Sun Hang, "but I still wish you success."

"Then I wish you a good meal and drink, too. I'll go upstairs and sleep first." Sun Hang took out a tissue and wiped the crumbs of puffed food off his fingers. "I slept on that broken camp bed at Longquanyi Base and my whole body ached."

"Go ahead, go ahead. Don't block me from watching TV." Wang Xiyi waved her hands repeatedly. "Remember to get up early tomorrow. I guess we will be assigned a lot of work early in the morning."

Sun Hang yawned and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

After a while, he came down again and threw a blanket in his arms to Wang Xiyi who was lying on the sofa: "I'm not sure if you will catch a cold if you don't cover yourself with a blanket at night, but after thinking about it, I decided to get you a blanket, so that people won't say that I'm not a gentleman."

“Hahaha…” Wang Xiyi smiled as she caught the blanket, crumpled it into a ball and put it behind her head. “If you really want to be a gentleman, you should let the ladies sleep in the master bedroom, and sleep on the sofa or in the second bedroom. That’s what I saw those girls on the Internet say.”

"Then I'll change my excuse - I'll give you a blanket so that people won't say I'm not a good host."

"Don't forget, I have requisitioned this house, and now you are the 'guest'." Wang Xiyi said, and tore open another large bag of potato chips with a "rustle".

"Then let the guests sleep in the master bedroom and the host sleeps on the sofa. That's reasonable," said Sun Hang.

"Okay, let's go to sleep." Wang Xiyi watched the monster on the screen being turned into a fireball by the "Zaperio Ray" and rubbed her hair hard. "I'll watch the last episode and then go to sleep."

……

……

Five minutes later, after washing up, Sun Hang finally lay down on the soft bedding. The fluffy pillow exuded a faint scent of detergent.

Except for the chandelier hanging from the ceiling, all the bedding, furniture and furnishings in the bedroom were new. The things belonging to the previous owner of the house had basically been emptied by the staff of the institute - judging from the contents of the trash can at the door that day, the previous owner should have been a young girl.

"If I die, my personal belongings will probably be cleared away as trash..." Sun Hang muttered softly, "No... I don't have any personal belongings at all."

Thinking of this, he reached his hand into the gap in the mattress and took out the nameplate that he had turned into gold.

Sun Hang's mind moved, and the gold color on the nameplate gradually faded as if it was oxidized bit by bit, turning back to the original color of stainless steel.

Compared to the cost of being unconscious for several hours the last time he “turned steel into gold”, Sun Hang just felt a little tired this time… He was not even sure whether this tiredness came from the side effects of using his ability, or whether it was the drowsiness that had already existed in his mind.

Although he failed to successfully devour the ghost shadow, Sun Hang could clearly feel that he was getting stronger.

He didn't know how to describe the feeling. Using this ability did not consume physical strength, but a kind of "resource" similar to "mental strength". In game terms, it was the "blue bar" or "MP value".

Every time he successfully eliminates a monster, his blue bar will become a little longer. The more powerful the monster eliminated, the greater the growth of the blue bar.

The biggest constraint that limits his ability is the upper limit of the blue bar.

When the "blue energy" required to use an ability exceeds the "blue bar limit", "overdraft" will occur. In Sun Hang's case, it would be as severe as a brain tear, or he might even go into a coma.

Sun Hang felt that coma might be a self-protection mechanism of the body... If he continued to overdraw like this, his head might really be torn apart by an invisible force, or explode like a bomb. But who on earth could give him this ability?

The only reasonable explanation at present is that Taotie once devoured a strange creature, absorbed this ability, and then passed it on to himself through the strange virus...

"If the 'blue bar' is long enough, can I directly turn the eternal night into day?" This thought flashed through Sun Hang's mind, and the next second, he felt a bone-chilling chill.

It was as if a bullet had just passed by his heart.

This is a threat from death, and the source of the threat is Sun Hang himself.

"I understand." Sun Hang stared at the ceiling and muttered to himself, "At my current level, trying to reverse the Eternal Night is equivalent to suicide... But does this mean that when I am strong enough, I can really make my words come true?"

The power of making things happen as you say it... If it belongs to a certain monster, it should be a Class A regular monster.

I really don't know how Taotie swallowed that strange creature...

As Sun Hang was thinking, his eyelids gradually drooped, and the stainless steel nameplate slowly slipped from his fingers and fell next to the pillow.

……

……

The next day, "morning", 8:30AM.

Sun Hang was awakened by the radio broadcast on the street outside. The eternal night could not be concealed - when the sun did not rise at the time it should have, the emotion of fear would continue to spread and ferment among the crowd as time went by.

The only thing the Disaster Countermeasures Committee could do was to stabilize the emotions of the citizens as much as possible, and at the same time draw a large amount of supplies from other city-states and transport them to Shuzhou overnight.

"...From today on, Tianfu City will implement a 24-hour closure system. Citizens are requested not to go out unless it is an emergency. The Tianfu City Management Committee will set up a special material supply team to distribute necessary living materials door to door according to the population. If you need to go out for special reasons, please call the emergency hotline of the district management department; if you find traces of strange objects or suspected strange objects, please contact the Tianfu City Abnormal Investigation Bureau immediately; if you encounter criminals, please seek help from the district security sub-bureau or the city defense guard team..."

The wireless broadcasting system in Tianfu City had been completely paralyzed. These notices had to be broadcasted by thousands of cars equipped with large loudspeakers traveling around the streets. The broadcast sound that Sun Hang could hear was sometimes far away and sometimes near.

After a simple wash, Sun Hang went downstairs. Wang Xiyi was nowhere to be seen. The blanket Sun Hang gave her was folded into a square and placed on the sofa. The pile of garbage on the coffee table was also cleaned up. A complete set of "Ultraman Tiga" discs was placed next to the VCR, with a note pressed on it with an unopened can of Coke.

"For you," the note read.

Sun Hang took out his cell phone, and the signal icon in the upper right corner was still zero - the Disaster Response Committee did not seem to intend to repair the damaged communication base station, otherwise, with the engineering level and infrastructure capabilities of the Xiazhou Federation, communications should have been restored as early as this morning.

Even if the old communication base station has been razed to the ground by monsters, they can build a new temporary base station in minutes.

It seems that the civil communications in Tianfu City will be in a paralyzed state for a long time in the future.
