Chapter 103

As for the test site, it was always easy to find.

After all, even in the safest big cities, there are inevitably places the light doesn't reach; dens of iniquity always exist……

Xia Zhi was likewise quite experienced at finding such locations, not to mention he could now directly detect evil. Where good deeds were happening, he wasn't too clear; however, where evil deeds were happening, he knew at a glance.

It was simply like the vision in a game, with a clear UI display——

One only needed to follow the marked task points to easily find what one wanted.

Whether it was bearing or distance, everything was crystal clear.

However, after easily taking down a few test sites, he discovered such places were still too small-scale, unable to exert extreme pressure on the Killing Hunters; after all, at most they were merely positioned as civilian evil forces.

Limited manpower……

Insufficient firepower……

Lacking quality……

He had originally tried stealth infiltration, silently cleaning up these task strongholds, but Xia Zhi soon discovered it had no meaning. Even if he intentionally made some noise to alert the other side, they could hardly organize any decent resistance.

This also made him quickly change his approach, turning his gaze toward another place.

————

————

Right at the city outskirts, near the previous location where he had summoned the Thunder Emperor.

The surrounding area for several kilometers had been cordoned off with blockade lines, already becoming a military temporary camp.

Of course, it was a camp belonging to the US military.

After all, facing such a situation, the only thing that could force the Japanese government to erupt with such enormous enthusiasm and swiftly take a series of actions was the love and whip of the US Dad; besides that, there was nothing else.

Around the camp perimeter, fully armed American soldiers gripped their weapons, patrolling back and forth in alternating shifts.

Inside the camp, researchers ran back and forth, shouting loudly, holding various test reports or strange instruments.

In the sky, armed helicopters flew by from time to time, the huge noise of their rotors booming in the air, searchlights sweeping back and forth across the ground.

Though it was a temporarily constructed camp, it was already piled with various cables, machines, and computers; every tent had anywhere from a few to over a dozen instrument screens flashing red or green light.

The cold technological light of the screens mapped onto the researchers' faces, making their expressions, whether grave or excited, seem to carry a trace of unusual meaning; occasionally someone would seem to find a new discovery, their face revealing unconcealable wild joy.

Under such scene after scene——

That tense atmosphere, that urgency of racing against time, simply rushed at one's face.

And the completely unreasonable part was that information control was done by the Japanese government, personnel evacuation was done by the Japanese government, traffic blockade was also done by the Japanese government…… yet at this scene, everyone was American.

Emmmmmm…… or rather, one should say this point isn't unreasonable, but perfectly reasonable?

After all, what standing does your Japanese government have, how could it compare to the US Dad.

Making you do the dirty work and heavy lifting is only right, but that doesn't mean you get a seat at the table to eat.

Never having truly possessed national sovereignty, main policies all dictated by US military officers instructing Japanese bureaucrats, the US military freely using Japanese territory, and without US military permission, Japan's own aircraft must detour even in their own airspace……

If it's already like this and you still can't figure out your own positioning, that's not just ordinary stupidity.

And in a certain tent in the camp, Lieutenant Colonel Jackson had just ended a direct call with the other side of the ocean; he put down the handset, suppressing the excitement deep in his heart…… the call from his top superior just now had told him how important this operation was.

This also meant that he, temporarily in full charge here, had an opportunity to gain attention from above.

He must seize this opportunity well!

Lieutenant Colonel Jackson took a deep breath, thought for a moment, turned and walked out of the tent; everything in the camp was so busy, researchers and soldiers walking to and fro, a scene teeming with life and vitality.

He seriously patrolled a circle around the camp, his stern sharp gaze like knives scraping across the soldiers' faces again and again.

Although these were originally overseas garrison troops, and their military discipline was hard to have any hope for, otherwise there wouldn't be repeated incidents like drunk driving, traffic accidents, theft, rape and other vicious cases, severely damaging the US military's image……

But normally, Lieutenant Colonel Jackson could not care; now he couldn't.

Since it concerned his chance to perform well, he was unwilling to make any mistakes; after patrolling the camp once more, he rearranged the guards, and right at this moment, a white-haired elderly researcher came running over excitedly.

"What? Go take a look again now?"

"Didn't we just get back recently? Can't we wait until daybreak?"

"Okay okay, I got it I got it, I'll prepare right now!!"

Hearing the other party's bluntly stated request, Colonel Jackson felt a sudden headache; he also couldn't help turning to look toward that distant direction. Although this side was a temporary camp, the investigation site was actually farther away——

In that mountain and valley……

On the road where that colossal thing advanced, large swathes of forest fell, the ground trampled with deep footprints……

As if the ground had been flipped over, plowing out shattered traces, extending like this for seven or eight kilometers, until disappearing into the mountains……

This long huge trace was extremely obvious, and was the incident scene cordoned off at the first time; not only were long warning lines pulled along the perimeter, several helicopters were also constantly circling overhead.

Just unlike in movies, where pilots always fly helicopters low.

As if to facilitate sudden accidents blowing up the helicopter, ending in machine destroyed and people dead.

On the contrary, they raised the flight altitude as much as possible——

This was also a subconscious maintaining of distance; after all, in reality no one is stupid, and upon seeing those terrifying giant beast traces on the ground, any pilot with normal thinking ability could roughly guess how terrifying that colossal thing was.

If not for the mission, they wouldn't even want to linger in this place too long.

And down below in that seven or eight kilometer long field, quite a few people had already entered for on-site investigation; although no radiation or similar things were detected at the scene, they still wore hazmat suits as much as possible……

Though they didn't know if it had any use, it at least provided some psychological comfort.

But the result of this was that the American soldiers were all unwilling to approach; looking over there they felt some leakage danger.

Colonel Jackson likewise wasn't too willing, but he had no other choice; although currently he was fully in charge, the premise was that he must fully cooperate with the research operation…… there was no room for negotiation.

Though he felt a headache over this, he was also helpless.

He could only curse and grumble while calling a squad of soldiers to escort this group of research personnel over again.

Fortunately nothing happened along the way.

Only when he saw that large group of researchers swarming in and swiftly throwing themselves into work did Colonel Jackson breathe a sigh of relief; he truly didn't want any incidents, yet indeed worried things would develop like those horror movies.

For instance, something terrifying like a demon suddenly appearing in the darkness.

Before this, he would never have had such thoughts, but now — God, has this world become a bit Magic?

At this moment, looking back, the Horizon in the East also faintly revealed Fish Belly White.

Colonel Jackson, seeing this scene, also Slightly felt relieved; as long as Dawn arrived it was fine, conducting Operation under the Sun, researching those strange things, was always more reassuring than researching at night.

Those Horror Movies always happen at night, not without reason.

Human Fear of Darkness has never faded; it is engraved in the Gene.

He was just preparing to Withdraw Gaze when the corner of his eye caught a glaring Red Light, Flashing urgently, Jumping wildly in the Camp at the Rear.

— What Thing?

Probably because it was near Dawn, when people are most Sleepy, Colonel Jackson in this Instant was also a bit muddled, for a moment completely failing to React, until that piercing Siren reached this side a beat slower than the light.

In a flash, his whole being Fangfu Soul Freeze!

And the Siren's sounding was like poking a Wasp Nest; the Next Moment, dense Gunfire also began to ring out from the Camp!!

Continuous, like a Rain shower resounding!!

Clearly in just such a short time, what exactly happened over there! Colonel Jackson eyes bloodshot, leading men Rush over wildly.

And this was already completely too late……
