Chapter 214 Goodbye
"Hahahaha... That's indeed the truth." Zhulong laughed heartily, "This idea is really interesting!"
"Getting back to the topic - Sun Hang, what you just said is: instead of staying in various villages and towns, why not stay in Tianfu City and wait for Chimera to regain its full power on the 17th, and then come to the door yourself?" Yang Qi said seriously, "But have you ever thought about how many people will suffer from the murderous hands of Chimera No. 17?"
"No matter what we do, these people will die." Sun Hang shrugged, "You can ask the Disaster Countermeasures Committee to implement the great migration plan, or you can organize elite hunters to guard Chimera No. 17... But no matter Whatever we do, the battlefield for the final decisive battle will most likely be in Tianfu City.”
"..." Yang Qi fell into deep thought.
"Don't you think there's something wrong with what I said?" Sun Hang said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Are my words contrary to the question you asked me during the initial employment test?"
"This..."
"I also raised this issue with Pei Zongjun." Sun Hang shrugged, "He told me that this is a war, and war requires ruthless decision-makers... And he hopes that I can become a decision-maker. .”
"Since Mr. Pei said so, there must be no problem." Zhulong said from the side, "Decision-makers do need to be calm enough, but this does not mean that they are completely inhumane... On the contrary, it is precisely because of human nature Driven, they will make the choice that allows the most people to survive. ”

……
Before Sun Hang's car entered the urban area of Lizhou City, they saw several armored vehicles full of city defense guards driving out of the city. The armored vehicle headed by them stopped ten meters away from them. After getting down, a second lieutenant jumped out of the car, held the helmet on his head, and ran quickly towards Sun Hang and the others.
"Hello, sir!" The second lieutenant saluted Sun Hang and the others through the car window, "I am the deputy captain of the Second Squadron of the Lizhou Urban Defense Guard. Thank you very much for the information you provided. Our unit is currently heading to the western suburbs of the city. Assemble and prepare to go to the Qiang inhabited areas to search and rescue the surviving people! ”
"How many of you are there?" Yang Qi asked before Sun Hang could speak.
"Two squadrons, about eighty people, and three investigation bureau field teams." Lieutenant Hui reported.
"Are there no hunters accompanying you?" As soon as Yang Qi asked this question, she realized that it was a bit redundant - Sun Hang and Zhulong are probably the only hunters stationed in Lizhou City, even if the Lizhou City Management Committee wanted to send Hunters came to participate in this operation, and they didn’t have any extra hunters to send...
"No." The second lieutenant shook his head, "Our superiors told us that there will be hunter support soon. Let us seize the time and rescue as many surviving people in the mountainous area as possible."
"I'll give you a piece of advice." Sun Hang reached out and adjusted the rearview mirror beside the car window so that he could see the dark mountain through the reflection in the mirror. "It's best not to enter the mountain before the hunter is in place. .”
"I'm sorry, sir... This is an order from the superior, we..." The second lieutenant's expression paused, and then he said with a look of embarrassment.
"I'm just saying something." Sun Hang turned around and looked directly at the oncoming convoy and said, "As for orders or survival, anyway, you make your own choice."
After saying that, he started the car again.
……
……
Lizhou City, Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Although officials of the Lizhou City Management Committee repeatedly tried to persuade Sun Hang to stay, no matter what conditions they proposed, it was impossible for Sun Hang to stay.
Lizhou City... In other words, the Qiang settlement to the west of Lizhou City has been "plundered" by Chimera No. 17. It will no longer stay in Lizhou City... This weird thing is very cunning. , it knows how to minimize risks - compared to launching attacks in densely populated urban areas, there are more remote towns and villages in the huge Shuzhou territory that are more suitable as hunting grounds than Bizhou City.
You know, the armed forces of some towns are so small that they can be ignored - a security bureau with an area of more than ten square meters, three or four police officers who have only received one month of standard military training, an old-fashioned automatic rifle, an equipment Shotguns with rubber bullets and two or three nine-millimeter caliber pistols that may not even be able to penetrate body armor, this may be the entire armed force of the entire town.
Although as a border area, the militia establishment in Shuzhou has always been preserved... But whether those poorly trained militiamen have the courage to aim their guns and pull the trigger when facing vicious monsters is completely unclear. An unknown quantity.
Except for the "military towns" bordering the Yunnan and Yunnan regions, other places in Shuzhou, except for those big cities, are basically undefended.
It’s not that the federal government doesn’t want to, it’s that it can’t do it.
To train a qualified soldier, at least fifteen to twenty ordinary people's taxes are needed to support it. Coupled with the purchase and consumption of various weapons and equipment, this number will rise to more than thirty... For For a country that is not at war, the number of troops and total population If the ratio reaches one to thirty, the financial pressure will be extremely huge... It is impossible for the Federation to maintain such a large and completely independent army. If it does, it will not use tricks to launch attacks, but only needs to maintain In a few years, the federal economy will gradually collapse.
As for the monster hunters, the cost of raising them is much more than that of ordinary soldiers...
Wang Xiyi and Sun Hang said, "Hunters are like bricks, they can be moved wherever they need to be." As for "resident hunters", except for Chunming City and the capitals of various places, it is difficult for ordinary cities to have this kind of treatment.
The plane landed slowly. Outside the window was the Tianfu City Mystery Research Institute building that Sun Hang was familiar with. Several people who came to pick up the plane had already been waiting outside the apron. Sun Hang saw Yin Xiang there with all his strength at a glance. Waving his arms, he looked excited.
As soon as Sun Hang got off the plane, this guy rushed over: "Boss! I miss you so much!"
"Get out of here! You're smelling like sweat, can't you go wash it off?" Sun Hang looked disgusted and used mycelium to tie up Yin Xiang, who was trying to rush over to hug him.
"Boss, I've been working overtime for three days in a row. I sleep on the floor in the office. How can I have time to take a shower?" Yin Xiang said aggrievedly, "You don't know that during your absence, A series of big things happened in Tianfu City!”
"Are you talking about Chimera No. 17?" Sun Hang glanced at him and asked.
"Ah?" Yin Xiang was stunned, "How do you know? The team leader told me that this is top secret and must not be leaked in front of irrelevant people... Now the entire Tianfu City is under strict information control, are you Where did you know? ”
"Do you think I am an irrelevant person?" Sun Hang stared at him speechlessly... But this is not Yin Xiang's fault. Although he has become a regular employee, it does not mean that he can participate in those activities with his authority level. In the conversation with the decision-makers, after the attack, there was only one order he received, and that was "confidentiality."
"You haven't been in Tianfu City during this period. You are not an irrelevant person, am I?" Yin Xiang looked innocent. "Pfft." Zhulong, who was walking behind Sun Hang, couldn't help laughing, "This little brother is really interesting."
"Ah? What's so interesting?" Yin Xiang obviously didn't react.
"That's an irony." Sun Hang loosened the mycelium binding Yin Xiang, "Let me translate it for you: 'This little idiot is really funny.' That's pretty much what it means."
"That's not what I meant." Zhulong waved his hands quickly, "It is not what a gentleman does to sow discord."
"I'm not a gentleman either." Sun Hang glanced at Yang Qi, who was handing over work to his colleagues, yawned, put his hands behind his head, and strode towards the research institute building.
"Boss, boss..." Yin Xiang immediately followed, "Who are these two? Are they reinforcements sent by the federal government? And those things moved out of the cargo hold... Hiss, if I read it correctly , Is that a coffin? Why did you bring back more than a dozen coffins? "
"Why do you have so many questions?"
"Just ask. If you find me annoying, it's okay if you don't answer."
"Then you are really annoyed." Sun Hang rolled his eyes, "I refuse to answer."
"And more..." Yin Xiang moved closer and lowered his voice.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"What else?" Sun Hang asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Why are you so sneaky?"
"It's that beautiful girl in a black skirt. The way she looks at you doesn't seem right..." Yin Xiang said in a voice that only he and Sun Hang could hear, "I can guarantee that she likes this girl." You!”
"Oh, what then?"
"What happens next?!" Yin Xiang was stunned, "Isn't this your new harem?"
"When did I have a harem?" Sun Hang gave Yin Xiang an elbow directly, "Damn it, am I not single now?"
"Ouch..." Yin Xiang covered the arm that was hit by the elbow and let out a cry of pain, "Boss, why did you elbow me! What I'm telling you is telling the truth. If you want to open a harem, it won't be a matter of minutes. , and they are all of high quality..."
"Shut up and take me to the place where Lao Wang is housed." Sun Hang said.
"Uh, are you talking about the place where the 'Night Furies' are housed?" Yin Xiang shook his head, "I can't go in there... not even everyone in the research institute can go in, I work for the Investigation Bureau alone How can He De have the authority to enter the social animal? ”
"Yes." Sun Hang stopped and waited until Yang Qi finished handing over and walked over to this side before saying, "Let's go, let's go see Lao Wang's situation."
"So urgent?" Yang Qi was slightly startled, her eyes seemed a little strange, "I originally planned to meet the teacher first."
"Old man, he's fine." Sun Hang said, "But Old Wang, she only has half a breath left. I must go see her first."
……
……
Tianfu City Monster Research Institute, second underground floor, Class A containment area.
The institute's monster containment area is divided into three areas: A, B, and C. However, A, B, and C are not related to the monster's type A and type B, but refer to the dangerous level of the monster - level C is the lowest, and level A is the highest, just like before. Sun Hang's exclusive weapon "Ji 2796" is included in the Class C containment area.
"Please put on protective clothing." The researcher who led the way opened the closet on one side and asked Sun Hang and Yang Qi to put on bulky protective clothing that looked like space suits, and then opened the door in front of them. The airtight door led the two of them inside.
This is a corridor entirely made of special alloy. There are nine isolation walls inside the corridor. Every time you pass through an isolation wall, the surrounding temperature will drop by more than ten degrees - although Sun Hang, who is wearing protective clothing, cannot use his body. The surrounding temperature is sensed, but the helmet attached to the protective suit displays a series of parameters including the indoor temperature in a projected form.
When the last isolation wall was raised, the temperature value displayed on the inside of the helmet suddenly jumped from minus 112 degrees Celsius to minus 140 degrees Celsius, and it continued to drop.
Being here is no different than being in a swimming pool filled with liquid nitrogen.
Low-temperature-resistant glass with a large number of precautions printed on it divided the containment area into independent compartments. Sun Hang noticed that most of these compartments were empty, and only a few compartments had something in them - and these The things are all in various special containers, and the true appearance of the containment cannot be seen at all.
The researcher who led the way led the two people through many compartments with ease, until they reached a liquid nitrogen pool that was constantly emitting white smoke.
He clicked a few times on the portable operating terminal on his wrist, and with the sound of gears turning, a frozen coffin soaked in a pool of liquid nitrogen was lifted up by dozens of chains and hung in front of the three people.
There is a twenty-centimeter-square observation window on the front of the frozen coffin. Through this window, you can see Wang Xiyi's closed eyes and the fine scales that have climbed up her cheekbones.
"As you can see." The researcher's voice came out from under the helmet, which seemed a bit dull. "Although the liquid nitrogen pool and the permanent freezing coffin can slow down the advancement of the deformation process, it only slows down. We can't Make it stop completely.”
"How much time does she have left?" Yang Qi asked.
"At the beginning, we estimated that it would be April to May... but based on subsequent observation data, her remaining time... is probably only two months." The researcher said, "According to the original arrangement, we It should be decontaminated or handed over to Tianshu Tower one month before the deadline..."
"Can you open this coffin?" Sun Hang asked.
"Not now." The researcher shook his head, "I know what you are going to do, but not now. In order to ensure the safety of the institute and Tianfu City, adequate safety preparations must be made before attempting to absorb mutant memes."
