Chapter 74 Boiling Shadow
Baqu City, an eastern city in Shuzhou region, is 320 kilometers away from Tianfu City.
The temporary headquarters of the Monster Disaster Countermeasures Committee's forward headquarters is located here.
This was originally the Municipal Gymnasium in Baqu. Now all the sports facilities in the gym have been evacuated and replaced with a large number of communication equipment with dark green military paint. Thick cables can be seen everywhere, and staff wearing uniforms from various departments Busy walking between equipment and tables and chairs, the phone rings one after another.
On the big screen hanging in the middle of the basketball court, a huge countdown number is getting smaller——
"10, 9, 8, 7..."
At the same time, three hundred kilometers away, the countdown was also going on in the headphones of Sun Hang and Ye Jiu.
"3, 2, 1..."
"Light array, turn on!"
Blazing white light suddenly enveloped the entire sky above Jinjiang CBD, making the night look like day.
"No. 1 observation position report, the spherical objects in the air have not changed significantly! The shadow objects on the ground have not changed significantly!"
"No. 2 observation position report, the spherical objects in the air have not changed significantly! The shadow objects on the ground have not changed significantly!"
"No. 7 observation position report, the spherical objects in the air have not changed significantly! The shadow objects on the ground have not changed significantly!"
……
The shadowless lamp array has been lit, but the expected shadow disappearance has not occurred.
Although they didn't have high expectations from the beginning, both the forward headquarters and the personnel at the scene showed a mixture of loss and solemnity in their eyes.
"No effect?" Ye Jiu took a deep breath and looked at Sun Hang.
He hesitated for a while, and finally asked Sun Hang: "Well... what should we do next?"
Although Ye Jiu himself didn't want to admit it, in his heart, he still hoped that Sun Hang could come up with a feasible "preparatory plan" at this time - when performing tasks in the past, Ye Jiu only needed to kill the monsters. Just drive it, but this time, he encountered a monster that couldn't even be killed by "killing".
Sun Hang squatted down and reached out to the shadow not far away - the shadow seemed to feel the approach of Sun Hang's fingers, and quickly retreated more than ten centimeters, always maintaining a "safe distance" of half a meter from Sun Hang.
Sun Hang looked up again and looked at the chaotic sphere in the sky that was shrouded in strong light but did not change at all. A faint light flashed in his mind.
Sun Hang suddenly realized a problem. Now the entire Shuzhou area is under the shroud of eternal night. There is no light source in the sky. The reason why the visibility of the CBD is so high is entirely because of the light pollution in the urban area that is comparable to artificial daylight... …
Then, there should be no shadow on a sphere suspended thousands of meters in the sky.
Unless the other way around.
"I understand." Sun Hang said, "The shadow on the ground is the body of the strange thing with consciousness, and the shadow in the sky is the shadow..."
"Then why was the missile swallowed by a massless shadow?" Ye Jiu asked immediately.
"I don't know. Now that the light array has been arranged, you might as well try again - please change the direction of the lights and aim all the lighting devices at the ground."
At the same time, Baqu Municipal Gymnasium.
Dozens of programmers were typing frantically on the keyboards, making crackling sounds. They were urgently modifying the programs they had just written, adjusting the formation and direction of the drone light array - there were a large number of lights mixed in the light array. Different brands, different models, and different operating systems of drones have increased the difficulty of this work by more than one level, and the number of curse words coming out of the mouths of these programmers has also increased by more than one order of magnitude.
It took almost nine minutes to modify the entire program, and there was no need to count down this time. After the last check to confirm that it was correct, the chief engineer responsible for the light array control hit the enter key without hesitation.
The dense group of drones began to move, and the lights gradually turned. In the process, from time to time, uncontrolled drones would fall from the sky. The light beams emitted by the lighting devices installed on their bodies rotated in the air, just like a A cyber moth that only crashed into the fire.
The strong light that originally shot high into the sky instead hit the ground. Even if Sun Hang, who was in the middle of the illuminated area, closed his eyes, the light could still be projected through his eyelids onto his retinas. The burning sensation was like lifting his eyes. It was like looking directly at the sun at first - if Tai Sui hadn't given him a strong self-recovery ability, Sun Hang's eyes would have been burned out by now. "I should have bought some goggles if I had known earlier..."
Sun Hang lowered his head, put his palms above his eyes to block the light, and looked towards the ground - the whole street became extremely bright... However, in this bright environment, the black shadows were still like gangrene attached to the bones. Same, covering the ground and buildings.
But soon, excited voices rang in the headphones.
"No. 1 Observation Position Report! The spherical object in the sky disappeared!"
"No. 4 Observation Position Report! The spherical object in the sky disappeared!"
"No. 9 Observation Position Report! The spherical object in the sky has disappeared!"
"Tianfu City Monster Research Institute reports that the frequency of shadow memes on the ground in Jinjiang CBD has changed. The reason is currently unknown!"
"It seems that the things in the sky are really shadows." Sun Hang took a deep breath, and hundreds of hyphae shot out in all directions with his body as the center, drilling directly into the ground and entangled with the "shadows".
Before the chaotic sphere in the sky disappeared, the shadows on the ground were completely intangible... But after the chaotic sphere disappeared, Sun Hang could clearly feel that the shadows at his feet had changed.
This change is like water being frozen at low temperatures. The liquid that would have flowed away from the fingers has now condensed into a tangible solid.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
There is a strange sticky feeling coming from the end of the hyphae. The spreading shadows are like a layer of colloid covering the ground. They are extremely fluid and extremely sticky at the same time. , can adhere to the surface of anything and cause it to age quickly.
For some reason, an idea suddenly popped into Sun Hang's head - this thing is like material after time has been materialized, but there are some inexplicable impurities mixed into it.
There is an old saying in Xiazhou called "Heaven and Earth are not benevolent". Heaven and earth are the collective name of this world, but being inhumane means not having the ability to perceive, think, and self-awareness. Time, as the "fourth axis" of space, logically speaking, is It shouldn't have consciousness, but the existence of this strange thing broke this perception.
Even time can be infected by the deception virus.
More mycelium shot out from Sun Hang's body. Before other hunters arrived, he had to "swallow" as many of these shadows as possible... After digesting this strange thing, maybe he could ……
"Oops!"
By the time Sun Hang realized what the problem was, it was already too late.
On the originally empty street, three statues as tall as one person suddenly appeared, and the main body of the statue made Sun Hang feel extremely familiar.
Three apes, one covering his eyes, one covering his ears, and the last one covering his mouth.
Before Sun Hang could make any move, the third ape statue lowered its hand covering its mouth.
The harsh whistling sound rang in Sun Hang's ears. Even if he covered his ears, the sound could still penetrate into his brain - or to put it more accurately, the whistling sound seemed to come from the beginning. It came from the depths of his mind.
The shadow covering the street started to boil like a heated liquid, and then evaporated. Even the part that Sun Hang had swallowed was pulled out of his body and disappeared into the void... short before and after. In just a few seconds, the shadow that had expanded to the size of three city blocks disappeared, leaving only the crumbling buildings that looked like they had been abandoned for hundreds of years.
A piece of mycelium accidentally rubbed against a trash can placed on the street. The trash can was instantly shattered into pieces, and white plastic powder was scattered on the ground.
"You...you eliminated the monsters?" Ye Jiu's shocked voice rang in the earphones, "How did you do it? Why did those shadows seem to be ignited just now...What the hell happened? What’s going on?”
The statue of the three apes has disappeared. Judging from Ye Jiu's words, the statue should have never appeared in his field of vision from the beginning to the end.
Sun Hang stood there, glanced at the location where the statue had just appeared, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"The damn monkey...his scream is worse than a ghost."
Yesterday at noon, I drank a cup of Ore White, and now I have diarrhea... I feel almost exhausted... Damn it, I drink coffee all year round and I am not lactose intolerant. How could I get infected? Puzzled.
