Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 27 Breakfast
"Let's get something to eat first..." Sun Hang thought to himself.

As for the search and rescue operation and those missing people, he was not in a hurry anyway - Sun Hang didn't have any good feelings towards those guys at all, and he even felt disgusted... What did their life or death have to do with him?

After all, those guys never took the lives of the temporary investigators seriously when they gave orders... Now that someone at the same level as you is in trouble, you're getting anxious?

"There's no point in being anxious." Sun Hang muttered softly, stood up, parked the SUV in an open-air parking space, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly towards the commercial area.

……

The former South City Cemetery, inside the abnormal area.

The pointer on the dial was approaching five o'clock, but there was no sign of dawn. The deep night, against the backdrop of the blood moon, was like a thick piece of crimson velvet, covering the entire sky tightly.

A temporary operational outpost was set up. From time to time, the cries of the wounded could be heard from several white tents with red cross signs. On a light truck in the corner of the camp, there lay a row of corpses covered with white cloth.

Yang Qi sat on a folding chair, staring at the tablet in his hand with a frown - at the cost of more than twenty lives, the scope of the abnormal area was finally explored. Except for the cemetery in the south of the city, the barren mountains in the northwest, the stream area in the south and an abandoned village in the east were all "replaced" to the appearance of sixty-five years ago.

"Tsk... the impact range is much larger than I imagined..."

Yang Qi let out a long sigh, and at this moment, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

"Hello? Tianfu City Weird Things Research Institute, Yang Qi." She picked up the phone and answered the call.

"How is the rescue operation going?" There was a majestic middle-aged male voice on the other end of the receiver. Yang Qi recognized this voice - the person who called was the second-in-command of the Tianfu City Management Committee. The power he held in Tianfu City could be described as "second to none".

"The scope of the abnormal area has been explored, but there are many casualties. We are currently resting in the camp and waiting for the second round of survey after daybreak." Yang Qi reported to the other party.

"What's the specific progress? Are there any clues about those missing people?"

"For now... there is no clue yet." Yang Qi replied.

"No clue?" The other party's tone was obviously a little dissatisfied. "Didn't a hunter resonate with the monster?"

"The power of the blood moon is too strong, and the Night Fury is showing obvious signs of being out of control. I have asked all monster hunters to temporarily withdraw their operations and return to the area of ​​operation after the blood moon disappears." Yang Qi said.

"But as far as I know, the hunter who resonated with me was not a Night Fury... Did he evacuate as well?"

"Although he hasn't mutated, he is still infected. To be on the safe side..."

"Researcher Yang, please make one thing clear to us. We are racing against time and it is impossible for us to adopt the most conservative plan for everything. Since there is no obvious abnormality with this hunter, let him return to the action area immediately!" "I refuse!" Yang Qi said immediately, "You are not at the scene and you don't know the situation there. The power of this blood moon is stronger than any blood moon observed in the past thirty years! We can't take that risk... If we lose that hunter, I'm afraid even the last clue will be cut off! If any consequences are caused by my decision, I am willing to take full responsibility!"

"Do you think you can shoulder this responsibility? You should have seen the list of missing persons, right?" The voice on the phone had become slightly angry.

"I have seen it." Yang Qi replied calmly, "But since I am the on-site commander of this rescue operation, I have the right to arrange the personnel involved in the operation, unless you dismiss me directly... But according to the normal process, you need to get at least half of the people in the management committee to agree with this decision before it will take effect."

"Very good... I will not dismiss you from your post." The other party said slowly, "But I hope that after forty-eight hours... no, it should be thirty-one hours, you can show me a satisfactory result."

The other party hung up the phone... Until the end, the other party did not say what punishment would be waiting for Yang Qi if she failed to complete the task, but the threat between the lines was obvious.

……

Tianfu City, downtown, an unknown street.

Sun Hang originally planned to go to the commercial street to eat at McDonald's, but because he didn't know the way, he staggered into a residential area.

The buildings here are all old houses left over from the last century, and the roads are paved with bluestone slabs that have been polished by time to be extremely smooth. The thin morning mist fills the streets, giving Sun Hang the illusion that he has strayed into a paradise.

The air was very humid, partly because of the morning mist, and partly because of the steam coming out of the large steamers placed along the street - in a city that has just woken up, the first things to open must be the various shops selling breakfast.

Before it was fully light, the owners of the breakfast shops had already placed tables and benches outside the shops, lit the fire, and set up the pot.

Dandan noodles, tofu pudding, hot and sour rice noodles, brown sugar rice cake... Sun Hang looked over and saw that the street was full of Tianfu City's special snacks. Some old men who got up early were already sitting on chairs along the street with their crutches and bird cages, waiting for the breakfast they ordered to be served.

Sun Hang randomly chose a table that looked clean and sat down. He glanced at the menu hanging at the door of the store and said to the busy boss inside, "Give me a bowl of wonton. Uh, don't make it spicy."

"A bowl of wonton? How much do you want?" the owner asked, looking up, then continued to work with his head down.

"Two?... Then give me ten." Sun Hang glanced at the wontons on the chopping board that had not yet been put into the pot. These wontons were much bigger than the wontons he remembered. Eating ten of them should be enough to fill him up... Even if he wasn't full, he could still go somewhere else and buy something else to fill his stomach.

"Okay, one and a half liang wontons, not spicy!"

"Hey, young man, you won't eat it just by looking at it." An old man with white hair and beard shook his head with some regret after hearing Sun Hang said he didn't want it spicy. "You don't understand, when the hot wonton is served and a spoonful of red oil is poured on it... Tsk, it's so delicious!"

Just when Sun Hang was about to find an excuse to deal with this nosy old man, a unique smell of "food" suddenly drifted into his nostrils.
