Chapter 321 Return to Chunming City
……
Two hours later.
Tianfu City Monster Research Institute, "Pesticide Project" command center.
"Although we successfully recaptured Factory 105, this is not a victory at all." Yang Qi said seriously, "We lost a senior hunter and all the staff in Factory 105. The progress of memetic reverse engineering has also been delayed..."
"I am only concerned about how long it will take for Factory 105 to resume operations?" the military representative asked. "The damage that has been caused is irreparable, but we cannot let the sacrifices of those people become meaningless."
"The inventory of the factory park has just been completed. Managers, workers and security personnel also need time to make arrangements... It will take up to four hours to restart the production line." Yang Qi replied.
"Will it have a big final impact on the entire plan?" the military representative asked again.
"It won't be very big... because Chimera No. 17's own incubation progress has also slowed down, and the two are basically the same." Yang Qi said, "But what we are worried about now is that Chimera No. 17 will copy 105 The attack on the No. 1 factory..."
"Then increase the production lines of everything several times, and use several times the saturated output to minimize the impact of the attack... This is also the last option." A man wearing a federal parliament badge and wearing a A young man wearing an executive jacket, but with a face that looked no older than thirty, said, "The Federal Parliament will fully support the pesticide plan, and we will do our best to meet your requests."
"We are already doing this." Yang Qi sighed, "But Sun Hang reminded me before that there is only one link in the entire plan that is irreplaceable."
"Which link?" the young man asked immediately.
"The reverse engineering team... those top talents in the industry, their value cannot be quantified in numbers. If something goes wrong with them, no matter how much resources are invested, the plan will not be implemented." Yang Qi said, "We are already here A large number of defense forces have been deployed near the laboratory... More than 90% of the elite combat forces in the entire Shuzhou region are here."
"I will apply to the parliament to mobilize another group of hunters." The young man nodded, "I will call the parliamentarians now."
……
On the other side, Sun Hang, who was on a special flight, could vaguely see the outline of Chunming City under the clouds through the porthole on his side.
Although this is not the first time to overlook Chunming City from the air, as the first miracle in the history of human architecture in the new century, every time I see Chunming City, I can still feel the heartfelt shock.
I just don’t know... what a spectacular sight it would be if this city turned into ashes.
Such a thought suddenly flashed through Sun Hang's head. He was so frightened that he immediately closed his eyes and cleared away all the distracting thoughts in his mind.
This is not because Sun Hang was worried that he had inadvertently triggered the ability to "make all his wishes come true" and really burned Chunming City to ashes... With the size of Chunming City, even if Sun Hang was beaten to death, he would probably be burned. Don’t lose any of the neighborhoods.
He was afraid that the mysterious meme in his body would regard his fleeting and outrageous thoughts as real thoughts, and really make a human out of himself...
"You seemed a little nervous just now?" Ling Xiao, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Sun Hang and asked.
"I'm afraid of heights." Sun Hang said casually.
"Then why don't you close the window?" Ling Xiao was a little confused.
"It would be a pity not to see an architectural wonder like Chunming City." Sun Hang unbuckled his seatbelt and stood up, gesturing for Ling Xiao to change seats with him, "Is this your first time seeing Chunming City?"
"No, I've seen it on TV many times." Ling Xiao sat down by the window and looked at the majestic city below through the porthole, saying expressionlessly.
"I mean real things, real things!"
"First time."
“Do you think it’s grand?”
"Yes." Ling Xiao said.
But the expression on his face gave people a "no more than that" feeling.
"Give me the gun." Sun Hang stretched out his hand to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, then pulled out the "God-killing Spear" and placed it in Sun Hang's palm.
"I'll keep it for you for a while, and then return it to you after you finish the inspection." Sun Hang put the pistol in his pocket and said.
He has no intention of telling Tianshu Tower the secret of the "God-Killing Spear" - if Tianshu Tower knows the ability of the "God-Killing Spear", there is no guarantee that they will not treat Ling Xiao as some kind of "kill one thousand enemies and lose oneself" A thousand" secret weapons to use... Even if they don't plan to put Ling Xiao into actual combat, he and the "God-Killing Spear" cannot escape the fate of being studied repeatedly.
Sun Hang doesn't care about the fate of people who have nothing to do with him, but he is still very protective of the people under him.
His trip to Chunming City was mainly to take a look at the inventory of strange objects in Tianshu Tower and see if there were any good things worth devouring. In addition, after reading the memories of Ling Xiao and Jiang Yu, Sun Hang also knew that Ling Xiao had the potential to become a superpower, and it was a very rare type of ability - after asking After Zhong Ling, Sun Hang also learned that there was indeed a "superpower management department" mentioned by Lilith in Tianshu Tower, so he planned to take Ling Xiao for a checkup to confirm his strange perception. The ability is really a superpower after all, but it's just "luck".
Sun Hang also asked Yang Qi about superpowers, but unfortunately, Yang Qi was only limited to "knowing the existence of superpowers". She couldn't tell anything in more detail.
After all, weird objects and superpowers belong to two completely different fields with very little in common. As the saying goes, there are specializations in the arts. Yang Qi, who has chosen the direction of weird object research, naturally has no extra energy. and time to study another field. Unlike the infected, the number of superpowers is very small, so unlike all the cities in the federation that have strange research institutes, there is only one authoritative research institute for superpowers, and that is the "supernatural superpower" affiliated to Tianshu Tower. A competent management department.”
"If I am determined to be a person with superpowers, will they let me stay here?" Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
"Not sure, I might ask you to cooperate in a series of experiments... But after all, you joined the field department of the Tianfu City Monster Research Institute first. Even if they want to poach people, they have to take into account the wheelchair... and take care of the old man. For the director's sake. If it doesn't work, I can use my authority to find a way to get you out," Sun Hang said.
However, this recruitment is limited to the identity of superpowers - Zhong Ling told Sun Hang that the superpower management department is very loose in the management of superpowers. Compared with the monster hunters, almost all superpowers are They are "employed" by the management department of superpowers on a contract basis, and they have the right to choose and reject the tasks of the department on their own.
Once the ability of the "God-killing Spear" is discovered, it won't just be the superpower management department involved.
Maybe even old man Pei will be alarmed.
Sun Hang can use his authority to veto the decision of the superpower management department, but if Old Man Pei is determined to keep Ling Xiao... Then if he wants to protest, he may have to break up with Tianshu Tower.
Sun Hang put his hand into his pocket and wrapped the entire gun with liquid metal. At the same time, he also used the ability of "Wishes Come True" to impose a "seal" on the God-killing Gun to isolate memetic fluctuations—— Now this gun looks perfect from the outside. It's just an ordinary pistol "simulated" with liquid metal. Even if you put it under the monitoring instrument and scan it repeatedly, the only thing that can be scanned is the meme of the mysterious liquid metal, not the god-killing gun. A meme of its own.
"Okay." Ling Xiao nodded, "I want to stay in Tianfu City."
"Why?" This time it was Sun Hang's turn to be confused, "You can't even see the sun in that place, and you have to face dangerous monsters all the time... The temperature is freezing, supplies are in short supply, and you can't even eat much food. All fresh and canned food, why would you want to stay in Tianfu City?”
"Because I met that self-proclaimed god in Tianfu City." Ling Xiao said, "But I never believe that there is a god in this world... Even if there is a god, the god is not on the side of us humans."< br>
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"..." Sun Hang suddenly felt that perhaps it was Ling Xiao's obsession that led to the birth of the "God-Killing Spear".
The altitude of the plane began to decrease, the surrounding clouds quickly swept upward, and a floating platform slowly came up.
With a slight shaking, the plane stopped steadily on the floating platform.
"The floating port is too small." Sun Hang said to Ling Xiao, "The last time I came here, I opened a hole in the runway. I later heard Yang Qi say that it took a lot of money just to repair the big hole. At least more than 100 million banknotes.”
The apron sank into the hangar, and the floating port returned to its original position, seamlessly embedded into the Taiwei top-floor building complex. The only two passengers on the special flight got out of the plane's door.
Sun Hang didn't bring any luggage this time. He put his hands in his pockets and looked at the group of white coats who came to pick him up with interest. Ling Xiao, who was following him, dragged a small suitcase and glanced seriously around the defense facilities, monitoring systems and emergency escape routes inside the hangar.
"This time... shouldn't a group of special forces suddenly appear and shoot tranquilizer bombs at me?" Sun Hang asked the leader in the white coat.
"Of course not..." The man in the white coat looked a little embarrassed, "The last time, it was the content of the promotion trial..."
"Which one of you is from the superpower management department?" Sun Hang asked again.
"Hello, my name is Sun Qiong, and I am the deputy leader of the No. 1 Working Group of the Superpower Management Department." A young woman with long shawl hair and rimless glasses stood up, "My electronic business card It has just been transferred to your bracelet.”
"Ling Xiao, you can follow her later." Sun Hang said, then looked at Sun Qiong, "After the examination, remember to return the person to me intact!"
"Of course." Sun Qiong said quickly, "The inspection process will not cause any harm to the human body. It is just some special inspection items that require the cooperation of the person being inspected to complete."
"If you can cooperate, try your best to cooperate. If you can't, just call me and tell me." Sun Hang patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder, "Go ahead."
"Yeah." Ling Xiao dragged his suitcase towards Sun Qiong.
The two quickly left the hangar on a small floating shuttle bearing the Tianshu Tower logo.
Although the headquarters of the superpower management department is inside the Tianshu Tower, their experimental site is in another city. According to Sun Hang's request, they will take Ling Xiao directly for inspection, and after the inspection is completed, he will be sent to Return to the floating port.
"In special times, time is tight, and Tianfu City is short of manpower. Officer Ling Xiao is an important force in the field department. I hope all processes can be simplified." - These are Sun Hang's original words.
As for Sun Hang himself, after making a phone call with Old Pei, he did not plan to meet with Old Pei - there was nothing to talk about anyway. It's better to save time and let these people in white coats take you to the "cafeteria" and leave as soon as possible to prevent Chimera No. 17 from causing something in Tianfu City while you are away. The moth comes.
The floating shuttle that Sun Hang and the others boarded was slightly larger. Except for the driver's position, the seats in the back could just accommodate six people, including Sun Hang. With a slight push on the back, the floating shuttle rushed out from a pipe and penetrated into the airspace between Taiweiyuan and Ziweiyuan.
The floating shuttle did not stay in the air for a long time, but quickly found a suspended track, used a magnetic suction device to attach itself to the track, and quickly slid along the track.
This floating shuttle is said to be an aircraft, but in fact it is more like a small maglev train capable of short-term flight. There are a large number of movable suspension tracks in the sky above Taiweiyuan, Ziweiyuan and Tianshiyuan. Under the deployment of the Chunming City Traffic Control Center, these floating shuttles can travel through the densely built Chunming City urban area at a speed comparable to high-speed trains, delivering passengers to their destinations as quickly as possible.
Of course, those who can ride this kind of floating shuttle are either rich or expensive - what is expensive is not the floating shuttle itself, but these suspended tracks specially built for the floating shuttle, as well as a lot of supporting facilities behind the track system.
This was the second time Sun Hang took the floating shuttle... The last time was when he heard that Wang Xiyi had an accident and he and Yang Qi decided to return to Tianfu City overnight.
The speed of the floating shuttle was very fast. In less than ten minutes, Sun Hang was already standing in front of the "Jade Pillar".
"The artifact storage area of Tianshu Tower is at the bottom of the 'Jade Pillar'." The leader in the white coat said, "Although you have obtained the highest level of permission, we still cannot skip some necessary safety procedures... Of course , this is also for your personal safety.”
