Chapter 427 Siege
"Then, what should I do?" Fukada Miki was a little at a loss.
"Cold." Sun Hang shrugged, "I can't steal the chicken, so I can only attack head-on - even if Chimera No. 17 knows your ability, it can only make some countermeasures against its own flaws at most, and it cannot directly destroy your ability."
"Then I have been imprisoned for so many days, isn't this sin in vain?"
"Who do you care about love?"
"Otherwise... I lock you in such a cell, eating, drinking, defecation and urination are all inside, and I can't even go out for some breath. Will you be happy if you do?" Fukada Miki said dissatisfied.
"Even if your identity is leaked, you still have to stay in a safe room after you go back." Sun Hang said.
"Why? I protest!"
"To ensure your safety." Sun Hang glanced at the other two field operators in the car, established an invisible sound insulation barrier between himself and the other party, and then said to Fukada Miki: "The interior of the institute has been penetrated by Chimera 17. Except for a few of us, anyone may be a puppet of Chimera 17. If you don't want to be assassinated by someone you don't know for no reason, I suggest you stay in a safe house until the final combat operation begins."
After saying that, Sun Hang lifted the sound insulation barrier again.
One of the two field operators was driving, and the other was staring at the detection instrument in their hands, not paying any attention to the long passage Sun Hang just said, without making any sound.
"In fact, it's less than 48 hours before the final combat operation." Yang Qi comforted the communication channel, "You have persisted for so many days, so let's hold on for another two days in the end."
"Okay, okay... I'm going to protest anyway." Fukada Miki leaned against the back of the car seat and directly looked like he was at mercy.
"I didn't expect Director Yang, you are quite good at coaxing children." Sun Hang complained in the communication channel.
"Don't joke at this time, you are not out of danger yet." Yang Qi said seriously, "The shadow of time and space is still chasing you?"
"I don't know, I should be chasing you from behind, right?" Sun Hang's eyes crossed the back window and looked back. The valley was pitch black, and he couldn't tell the shadows that already existed and the time and space shadows that could swallow everything.
However, judging from the frequency of the beeping sound of the detection instrument in the hands of the rear field operator, the distance between the convoy and the shadow was neither farthered nor closer.
"Wait?"
Sun Hang suddenly noticed something was wrong.
The team's speed is almost seventy yards per hour now, but the Quying who is chasing behind is always maintaining the same speed... Does this mean that Quying is just driving them away, not trying to catch up with them?
If Guiying had moved so fast at the beginning, the people in the secret camp would have no chance to evacuate and would have been swallowed up by Guiying long ago.
"Tell me to the others in the convoy, drive slowly." Sun Hang patted the field operator who was driving and said.
"Ah?" The other party looked confused, obviously not understanding Sun Hang's intentions.
"I should have the authority to command the entire convoy now, right?" Sun Hang asked again.
"Is there...yes?" Before the driving field operator could react, the superior's order came from his headphones - from now on, the command of the entire evacuated convoy was unconditionally handed over to the hunter Sun Hang.
"It's there now." Yang Qi said to Sun Hang in the communication channel.
"Okay." Sun Hang took off the intercom next to the dashboard and switched to the communication channel dedicated to the fleet. "Please note that cars, start to slow down, and reduce the speed from seventy yards to sixty yards in twenty seconds... Remember, don't slow down too deliberately... It's better to fake the illusion that you have to slow down due to the road conditions. Do you understand?"
Although everyone did not understand Sun Hang's order, the command was in Sun Hang's hands. Even if Sun Hang made them turn around and rushed towards the shadow chasing behind the convoy, they had to do it.
The speed of the entire convoy slowly dropped. Sun Hang glanced at the dashboard, then turned to look at the operator holding the detection instrument in the back row, and asked, "Is the distance between Guiying and us closer?"
"Uh... At the beginning, the distance was slightly closer when the convoy slowed down, but now, it seems that it is still at a distance of not far or near... Huh? Why is this happening? Shouldn't we catch up with the shadow when we slowed down?"
"You also realize the problem?" Sun Hang said, "The true intention of Guiying may not be to swallow us."
"There is a trap! There must be a trap in front!" The field operator immediately reacted, "The mountains on both sides are very steep, and the car cannot drive up. There is only one road leaving the valley... If something is blocking the front, we will be completely trapped here!"
"What should I do?" Fukada Miki asked.
As soon as she asked, she was stunned for a moment. She always felt that she had asked the exact same sentence not long ago, "What should I do?"
Fukada Miki suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She felt like she was the kind of female supporting actress in a disaster film. She had no ability and no plans. When she encountered problems, she would just say "What should I do?" and became a tool to help the protagonist promote the plot...
No, I can't continue like this... No matter what, at least I am also a veteran psychic, and I have participated in more hunting missions than most people in this convoy...
Of course, what Fukada Miki didn't know was that the number of hunting missions she had participated in was more than everyone else in this convoy combined.
Many of the field operators stationed in the secret camp were recruited urgently after the eternal night arrived. The tasks Zhong Ling participated in were more experimental tasks than hunting tasks... As for Sun Hang, the hunting tasks he had completed seriously in the hunting files were less than double digits.
"Would we abandon the car and go up the mountain?" Fukada Miki tried to make a suggestion.
She completely forgot that they had just escaped from the top of the mountain not long ago.
"There is a place north of Shuzhou and south of Hexi Corridor, which is very suitable for you to guard." Sun Hang glanced at her and said.
"Where?"
"Jieting."
"Where is Jieting...?" Fukada Miki looked confused.
"You haven't seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
"I have only played the True Three Kingdoms Unparalleled... Speaking of which, it seems that there is a level called Jieting. I can't remember it clearly. Is there anything special about this place?"
"I suggest you play less games and read more books after you go back." Sun Hang sighed. Sometimes, if you want to play memes, you will meet someone who can't handle memes at all. The most depressing thing is nothing more than this.
"If you go up the mountain, if the shadows surround up from the foot of the mountain, the situation will only be worse." The field operator said, "Besides, have you just retreated from the top of the mountain?"
"This...I, I forgot." Fukada Miki's face turned red, and she suddenly wanted to slap herself - why did she make such a stupid suggestion?
It would have been better to say nothing if I had known it.
"Continue to move forward." Sun Hang said calmly, "If Guiying is just driving us away, I want to see where it wants to drive us."
Sun Hang turned on the holographic projector located on the roof of the co-pilot's car, and the three-dimensional holographic projection map inside the valley immediately appeared in front of him. As the field operator said, the road they are driving now is the only way to enter and exit the valley. In addition, if you want to leave the valley, you can only abandon your car and climb up the mountain and climb over the tops on both sides.
"Where is support?"
"The helicopter sent to support will meet us in seven minutes," said the field operator. "But at our current speed, we will drive out of the valley and enter the main road of traffic 505 in four minutes."
"Are there any drones?" Sun Hang asked.
"There is one in the car."
"Give me the remote control."
Accompanied by the sound of propeller blades rotating, a small drone flew out of the roof of the vehicle and quickly passed the convoy driving at a speed below, and flew towards the exit of the valley.
The holographic projection in front of Sun Hang was divided into two parts, one was the terrain projection of the valley, and the other was the image transmitted back by the drone in real time.
The remote control of the drone controlled by Sun Hang's hands kept lowering the height of the drone. When it was dropping to about ten meters, the picture on the right side of the holographic projection suddenly paused and then completely disappeared.
"Warning, drone signal is lost! Warning, drone signal is lost!"
"Did the drone crash?" Fukada Miki couldn't help but speak, "But I think the flight speed is not too low, and that area is relatively flat... I have also played with drones, so this speed shouldn't be that easy to crash when it hits the ground, right?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"It's not that it's crashed, it's shot down..."
Before he finished speaking, a sudden brake sound came from the front.
Facing the rear of the front car that was rapidly growing in view, the field operator who was the driver stepped on the brakes tightly. The vehicle's ABS anti-lock system suddenly made a harsh noise, and the rear of the car began to drift to one side - fortunately, all three people sitting in the back seat were tied with seat belts, so they did not hit the back of the front seat.
"What's going on? Why the brakes?" The field operator in the back row subconsciously pressed his hand on the pistol holster at his waist.
"The first car... the first car disappeared!" A terrifying voice sounded in the convoy's communication channel.
The field operator recognized the voice. The speaker was a "school" who joined the company one month later than him and the driver of the fleet's second car.
"Tell me clearly, what happened?"
"I...I don't know either. I just drove like this. The car in front seemed to be swallowed by a shadow and disappeared in an instant. I could only rush to step on the brake..."
"It's that weird shadow!" Fukada Miki said anxiously, "That weird shadow is around us!"
"Car No. 2, can you see the road conditions ahead?" Sun Hang grabbed the walkie-talkie and asked.
"It's all... dark, and I can't see clearly... I turned on the high beam, but even the light seemed to be swallowed--"
The sound in the communication channel came to an abrupt end.
Sun Hang noticed that a faint shadow covered the body of the front car. The original brand new car paint began to crack and fall off in an instant, revealing the rusty metal skeleton. The person sitting in the car also turned from a living person to a few white skeletons in just a few seconds.
In the blink of an eye, the car in front had completely disappeared from sight.
"Only... we are the only car left!" The field operator who was driving looked at the rearview mirror, and his tone was filled with fear. "The cars in front and the cars in the back... are all... gone!"
"They were swallowed up by the weird shadows of time and space." Sun Hang said lightly.
The driver held the steering wheel in both hands. The sweat from the palm of his hand wet the leather wrapped around the steering wheel, making the steering wheel feel sticky and slippery. At this moment, he didn't even dare to make a sound... It seemed that as soon as his breath made a sound, the invisible shadow would pounce on him and swallow him.
"Yang Qi, there is bad news." Sun Hang said in the communication channel, "We are surrounded by the shadow of time and space."
"However, there is good news," Sun Hang said again, "The shadow of time and space seems... dare not touch us."
"Don't dare to touch you? Why?" Yang Qi was very confused.
"I don't know, but after it swallowed up other vehicles in the convoy, there was no movement." Sun Hang said.
Could it be... it is afraid of itself?
No, it is not afraid of itself, it is afraid of the three apes.
Physical and weird things can also cause fear?
"Don't act rashly, the rescue helicopter will arrive soon." Yang Qi said, "The helicopter is equipped with a large-scale sling. At that time, you can fix the hook directly. The helicopter will directly lift you and the person and the car out of the valley."
"Let the helicopter not come." Sun Hang said, "If you don't want to lose another helicopter and crew."
"What should you do?"
"Listen to me and keep driving forward." Sun Hang patted the driver on the shoulder and said softly.
"Ah? Keep driving?" The driver was stunned, "But, but ahead... we just watched the people in the car turn into skeletons and then disappear!"
"If the shadow wants to devour us, we have been swallowed now." Sun Hang said, "But we are still here well, which means it is afraid of us. Don't be afraid. Go forward directly, it will make way for us."
The driver glanced at Sun Hang, took a deep breath, bit his rear teeth, hung up the gear with his slightly trembling right hand, then held the steering wheel tightly, and slowly loosened the brakes.
The car began to move forward little by little.
Ten centimeters...twenty centimeters...half meter...one meter...
Soon, Sun Hang and his friends drove to the position where the car in front just disappeared.
Nothing happened.
The driver immediately breathed a sigh of relief, quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Do you still drive forward?"
"Open."
