Hunter of Mysterious Creature
Chapter 834 - 85: Giant Hill
After a brief communication, Sun Hang and this group of Free Hunters, including Sandthorn Rose, reached a temporary non-aggression agreement — as for the recruitment order, when they heard the destination was Egypt, the Surrendered Area, many people showed a "Are you kidding me?" expression.
Sun Hang is indeed very strong. Even if Sun Hang didn’t reveal his true identity, his performance in the recent battle was overwhelming... But the problem lies in the fact that no matter how strong Sun Hang is, the benchmark is still a Hunter of human identity.
However, placed six thousand kilometers away, before Egypt, which has been surrendered for over a hundred years, this strength is somewhat lacking.
Since the first supernatural war, so much time has passed, the Xiazhou Federation—or rather human civilization—like stars, countless super Hunters have emerged, and there are indeed individuals like Sun Hang who can reverse the direction of entire battles single-handedly, yet even so, over these hundred years, the territory of the Xiazhou Federation not only hasn’t expanded a slightest bit, but has continuously been devoured by supernatural beings.
Even those Surrendered Areas adjacent to the border can’t be reclaimed, let alone crossing half the Earth to Egypt’s Surrendered Area to find rare supernatural samples; it sounds like a fantasy.
If the treasure map released by Nagano Souta had some credibility, then the "Egypt Operation" mentioned by Sun Hang could only be described with four words ——
"Ethereal and Unreal."
"So, what exactly are you recruiting personnel to find in Egypt?" The beastly lady Hunter finally regained her calm and asked in the communication channel. "I know the Federation has been investigating the outside Surrendered Areas over these years, but Egypt... is really too far away. How did you confirm that what you want is there?"
"That’s classified." Sun Hang replied.
"I knew it, you people from Dubhe Tower are always like this." The beastly lady Hunter said with some disdain, "Want us to risk our lives for you, but unwilling to tell us what we’re exchanging this life for... treating people like fools?"
"The reason why I terminated the full-time contract with the official and came to such a barren place to be a Free Hunter is that I don’t want to die inexplicably." An older Free Hunter sighed in the communication channel, "Being a Free Hunter is tough, but at least your life is in your own hands."
"Alright, everyone just shut up." Another Hunter said, "We’re almost at Giant Hills, everyone quiet down!"
"Damn, I didn’t even notice, we’re less than a kilometer away!"
"Maintain radio silence! Slow down the vehicles! Make sure all windows and doors are secure! If they’re broken, find a gas mask or something!" An experienced Hunter immediately said, "Don’t drag everyone into your own death!"
The communication channel suddenly fell silent, and not only that, the speed of the convoy also dropped immediately. Those illegally modified cars, with engines originally louder than street racing motorcycles, were now quietly creeping along, and even the people seated inside were slowing their breathing.
"Giant Hills?" In this atmosphere, Sun Hang couldn’t speak loudly either. He followed the others, lowered his voice and asked Ya Qiaoxi, who was driving, "What kind of place is this?"
Ya Qiaoxi’s motorcycle was abandoned during the recent skirmish. After the skirmish ended, she took the initiative to handle the task of driving the off-road vehicle, while Candle Dragon happily switched to the back seat.
"Apart from the destination Nanhua Town, this route we chose has two danger zones." Ya Qiaoxi said quietly, "One is Sunfall Ridge, and the other is Giant Hills not far ahead."
"Is Giant Hills also an environmental-type supernatural entity?"
"No, Giant Hills is just a place name." Ya Qiaoxi shook her head, "It’s not like Sunfall Ridge; the danger isn’t from the place itself but from those ’giants’ scattered among the hills."
"Class C supernatural entities?"
Sun Hang was puzzled as to why the main processor wasn’t providing an explanation at this time, but when he glanced at the phone screen, he discovered that his phone signal had been blocked five minutes ago—this blockage wasn’t from external sources but because someone had written a jamming program inside the phone, preventing the signal transmission from operating normally.
Judging by the countdown on the phone screen, this jamming program would automatically delete itself after two hours, allowing Sun Hang’s phone communication function to resume.
It seemed like the main processor had voluntarily severed communication with Sun Hang—for Sun Hang, since becoming the new head of the main processor, this was the first time.
Not just phones, everyone in the convoy turned off all devices that could transmit or receive radio signals; Ya Qiaoxi even removed her wristband activity tracker, powered it off, and casually threw it into the side console box.
"Just in case."
While speaking, Ya Qiaoxi fished out a gas mask from her backpack and strapped it onto her face.
"Sis, is it really necessary for this?" Seeing Ya Qiaoxi and others’ actions, Sun Hang felt a bit clueless, "Why does it feel like you’re stealing... such a heavy sense of theft."
"Oh, the most, most, most important thing." Ya Qiaoxi seemed to recall something, and very solemnly said, "After entering Giant Hills, absolutely do not use your abilities, suppress the mimics inside as much as possible, do not let your aura leak. If you can disguise yourself as a normal person, that’ll be even better."
