CHAPTER 67: CHAPTER 67: ARMOR

Sun Hang quickly descended to the ground using the mycelium, and ran swiftly to the helicopter wreckage.

The black pilot, who not long ago had been joking with him, was now completely wedged into the deformed cockpit seat, lifeless.

A thick pool of blood had accumulated beneath the cockpit seat, now semi-coagulated, indicating that it had been some time since the crash.

Apart from the pilot, Sun Hang found two more unidentifiable male bodies inside the cabin.

No female bodies were found, which meant Ye Xuan and Yang Lian could still be alive... As for Wang Xiyi, forget about the crash—even if the helicopter fell on her head, she wouldn’t die.

As Sun Hang inspected the helicopter wreckage, the radio at the cockpit end began to sound: "Longquan Base calling Black Mamba 24, please respond if received; Longquan Base calling Black Mamba 24, please respond if received—"

Sun Hang used a short knife to cut open the steel beam that jammed the cabin door and took out the radio.

"This is Black Mamba 24. We encountered a mysterious creature en route, the helicopter crashed, the pilot and two passengers are confirmed dead, others are missing." Sun Hang shouted into the microphone.

"Please identify yourself."

"Registered Mysterious Creature Hunter from Tianfu City, Sun Hang."

"We have located the crash site and will dispatch rescue troops to your location at the fastest speed. Please report the casualty situation." The caller said.

"Besides the dead and missing, no one is injured." Sun Hang replied, "I was previously trapped by an E-type mysterious creature and just managed to eliminate it. After escaping, I found the helicopter crashed on the street, and inside the wreckage, I only found three bodies, the others’ whereabouts are unknown. Can you contact Ye Xuan and the others now?"

"Tianfu City’s communication base station was attacked by mysterious creatures, and the entire city’s communication network is currently paralyzed. Additionally, communication satellite signals have been blocked by ’Eternal Night’, leaving only military radio equipment operational." The caller responded, "The missing persons have not connected to military communication channels, so we are unaware of their situation. Also, please confirm if the helicopter’s flight data recorder is still there and its damage condition."

"Flight data recorder? You mean the black box?" Sun Hang asked, "Where is this thing installed?"

"Below the cockpit console, it’s a heavy metal body with an obvious orange paint coating!"

"Oh, I see it, the thing is still there... The console isn’t severely damaged; this thing should be fine." Sun Hang said.

"Rescue teams will analyze the flight data recorder immediately upon recovery to determine the cause of the helicopter accident."

"By the way, one thing, ask how is the battle situation at the southern bridge?"

"Mysterious creature interception operations are underway, our positions have not been breached." The voice on the other end of the radio paused for a moment, then continued, "However, some mysterious creatures managed to bypass the blockade and infiltrated the city interior. Emergency evacuation orders have been raised to the highest level, according to the Disaster Response Committee’s instructions..."

The person speaking to Sun Hang hesitated for a few seconds but continued: "According to the Disaster Response Committee’s instructions, we need to prepare to abandon parts of the city."

"Is it abandoning parts of the city... or the entire Tianfu City?"

"According to the committee... ’It depends on the situation’."

A city tainted by mysterious creatures would inevitably spawn more of them, leaving only two options for people: either fight to the end and eliminate all the mysterious creatures invading the city or abandon the city entirely.

"Tsk..."

Just received news, federal reinforcements have arrived in Shuzhou, they will support the southern bridge, according to the committee’s arrangement, the task to reinforce the southern area for Tianfu City’s Hunter, Sun Hang, has been canceled, changed to freely hunting infiltrating mysterious creatures in the city, ensuring safety for various refuge facilities and citizens, and personnel from the Public Security Bureau and guard teams will fully cooperate with your work."

"So I don’t need to rush to the southern area?"

"The latest arrangement is this."

"Got it, noted."

Just as he put down the radio, Sun Hang felt an extremely dangerous presence, he shivered, and looked towards the intersection dozens of meters away.

A figure in dark Bright Armor stood silently there, a golden demon mask covered his face, and three colorful feathers adorned the helmet’s top. Just standing there, a murderous aura began spreading around.

He had a luxuriously sheathed Tang Saber hanging at his waist, and was wielding a Wolf-tooth Spear nearly three meters long, its sharp spearhead pointing skyward.

"This armor should be hanging in a museum’s display rather than appearing in the middle of a street." Sun Hang muttered to himself, climbing out of the helicopter wreckage, standing in the middle of the street, and locked eyes with those hidden behind the golden demon mask.

The opponent gave Sun Hang an extraordinarily dangerous feeling... a kind of feeling Sun Hang had never experienced before, not even in Wang Xiyi’s fully beastified state had given Sun Hang this feeling.

Undoubtedly, this armor, including the demon mask and helmet, as well as the Tang Saber and Wolf-tooth Spear, were all "C-type object-type" mysterious creatures, their auras were very close, almost merging into one... In Sun Hang’s perspective, it was not just several C-type mysterious creatures, but "an entire set of C-type mysterious creatures."

Yet what surprised Sun Hang was that the person wearing this complete "C-type mysterious creature" set showed no hint of a mysterious creature’s aura—meaning this person wasn’t an infected, nor a mysterious creature hunter.

Though he seemed awe-inspiring now, in reality, he was just an unlucky fellow being held by mysterious creatures.

"Clang—"

The sound of metal plates rubbing against each other echoed, the figure in Bright Armor raised his arm, the Wolf-tooth Spear turned from vertical to horizontal, the spear pointed directly at Sun Hang’s head, its challenge was evident.

Sun Hang looked at his opponent, the short knife once tightly tucked against his arm now slid into his palm.

"A bit tricky, if I go easy, I might not defeat this thing, but attacking with full force, no matter who wins or loses, the one wearing armor is sure to die." Sun Hang began to slowly approach the opponent, his pace gradually increasing, "Hope you don’t blame me... blame the mysterious creature controlling you."

Two strands of mycelium suddenly shot out from Sun Hang’s body, entwining the streetlights on either side of the road.

The tightened mycelium abruptly exerted force, like a giant slingshot, instantly launching Sun Hang out!

Simultaneously, the short knife in Sun Hang’s hand altered its form again, becoming a giant Saber over four meters long!

Longer blade, stronger power—since the Wolf-tooth Spear in the opponent’s hand was three meters long, Sun Hang would make his blade a meter longer.
