Chapter 70: Shadow
Compared with the terrifying aura, the movement of this strange thing when it appeared was actually silent.
I saw a black shadow, like a liquid, slowly "seeping" out from under the manhole cover on the street - although it seemed that it was not moving fast, in fact it only took less than half a second. , spread to the buildings on the street, and began to crawl up along the walls of the buildings.
"This thing sneaked into the city from underground pipes... It may be a phenomenological or spiritual thing. It looks like this, and its actual size may be very huge." Ye Jiu also jumped to a high place, frowning at Sun Hang Said, "I even have a feeling that after this guy is fully extended, it may be able to swallow the entire city."
Sun Hang pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger at the shadow on the ground.
"Bang!"
The bullet was fired from the muzzle and hit the asphalt road, creating a shallow crater the size of a fist - but the shadow monster seemed not to be affected in any way.
Judging from the sound analysis, the shot did not touch anything except the layer of asphalt.
"Preliminary judgment, there is no entity." Ye Jiu said again, "Then my idea is right..."
Sun Hang noticed that any place covered by this kind of shadow, whether it was the ground, a building or something else, was rapidly "aging" - the floor tiles on the sidewalk were weathered and cracked, and the metal street lamp poles became rusty. The originally brightly colored billboard seemed to have been filtered through a black and white filter to remove all the colors. The small psoriasis advertisement affixed to it became brittle and peeled off, and turned into powder when blown gently by the wind.
Right below where Sun Hang was standing, the Golden Arches mascot doll that was pierced by the helicopter blades now had only the metal skeleton inside - this metal skeleton was made of lightweight aluminum alloy. There is no rust, but the surface is also covered with a thick layer of oxide.
Sun Hang moved his eyes to the wreckage of the helicopter. Sure enough, the deformed cockpit could no longer hold the black pilot - because his flesh and blood had disappeared, leaving only a white skeleton, which fell to the ground in pieces. It rolled out from the gap in the cockpit frame.
This scene couldn't help but remind Sun Hang of the images he saw on the TV screen when the first time-space anomaly occurred.
"There is no record of the appearance of this strange thing in history." Ye Jiu said, "At least in all the documents I have read, there has never been a similar description."
"Of course this guy won't have records." Sun Hang took a long breath, "because it is the culprit of the space-time anomaly."
"What?!" Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows, "How are you sure?"
"Intuition." Sun Hang didn't say much and threw the Tang Hengdao directly to Ye Jiu. "Try it with your strongest attack method. If it doesn't work, just apply for support."
"Do you want me to turn it on as soon as I come up?" Ye Jiu caught Tang Hengdao and put on the helmet and mask again.
"Hurry up and use your big move now. If you die without even being able to use your big move, wouldn't it be even more frustrating?" Sun Hang said.
"Heh...if you're scared, just stay away."
Sun Hang did not continue to quarrel with him, but pulled the hyphae and flew to a farther and higher building. The Golden Arches restaurant on the street has been almost completely swallowed up by the shadow. Even the "M" logo that is a long way above the roof is covered by shadow. The yellow paint on the surface peels off, revealing the shadow. Rusted metal base.
"Using time and space displacement to throw other monsters into the cemetery in the south of the city, attracting most of the federal attention, and then sneaking into the city through the underground pipeline network... Is this the battle plan of this monster?" Sun Hang thought, " No, that’s not right, conventional thinking logic should not be applied to monsters... However, no matter which angle you look at it, the goal of this monster seems to be to devour the entire Tianfu City..."
< br>
To get something in the city? Or to kill a specific target? Or... is it simply to expand territory and squeeze the living space of humans?
"Take this thing!" Sun Hang was still thinking about the problem, but Ye Jiu threw something at him.
Sun Hang caught it and took a look and found that it was a heavy metal box. He opened the box and found a pair of Bluetooth headphones inside.
"This headset is connected to a military communication channel, and it is also the only communication channel that can be used normally in Shuzhou!" Ye Jiu said.
Sun Hang put on his headphones, and suddenly, a bunch of noisy sounds came from the headphones.
The military communication channel originally had several frequency bands, but now all institutions can only transmit messages through the military communication channel, so each frequency band is responsible for multiple communication tasks. The frequency band that was originally supposed to be one-to-one is now busy It's like a vegetable market.
From the reports from all the troops, Sun Hang quickly understood that the headset Ye Jiu gave him was specifically responsible for dealing with the strange things that invaded the city. At this moment, apart from their location, In addition, other areas of Tianfu City have also been attacked by various monsters. Although the first batch of reinforcements have arrived, compared to the number of invading monsters, the number of hunters is still insufficient.
What's more, the comparison of combat power between monsters and hunters cannot be directly measured by numbers.
For example, if a pure physical attack hunter like Wang Xiyi encounters a spiritual creature like a strange baby, even if there are a hundred Wang Xiyi, it will be meaningless.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But the only good news is that the attack intentions of these invading monsters are not obvious. They just "appear" in the city. Only a handful of monsters have taken actions to cause widespread destruction - more than 90% of the monsters are still in the state. In the "standby in place" state.
As for the public refuge facilities and densely populated residential areas in Tianfu City, they have not been attacked yet.
"Hello? Can you hear my voice? I am hunter Sun Hang. I am now -" Sun Hang glanced at the street sign, "I am now in Jinjiang CBD. There is a suspected BOSS-level monster here. I Need..."
He was interrupted before he finished speaking: "There are monsters appearing in every area, and we don't have the spare capacity to support you now! If you cannot eliminate the monsters independently, please report the information you have about the monsters immediately. We will record it and decide the order of support based on the urgency of the situation. ”
"Forget it, you just need to tell me whether the Institute of Creatures has been attacked... I'm worried that the targets of these Creatures are things in the institute!" Sun Hang glanced at Ye Jiu, who was holding a spear in one hand and a knife in the other. This guy seems to have entered a state of energy accumulation - in terms of combat effectiveness, there should be few people in Tianfu City who are stronger than this guy now. If he couldn't defeat this mysterious shadow, it would be difficult for the support sent to do anything.
"The Institute of Creatures in Tianfu City?" said the person just now. "According to the information currently available, there has not been an attack there. The closest Creature to the institute is also seven kilometers away, and there is no sign of moving towards the institute. .”
