Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 49 Roadblock
……

The Longquanyi Air Force Base is located in the mountains southeast of Tianfu City. There is only one road leading into the mountains. As soon as Sun Hang entered the mountains, he encountered a temporary checkpoint set up by a dozen soldiers and a light armored vehicle.

Less than ten meters away from the checkpoint, there is a road sign indicating that this place is fifteen kilometers away from the "military restricted area".

Not only was the air force base blocked, but the entire Longquan Mountain became a martial law area.

Fortunately, Yang Qi's car was a military vehicle and the license plate was a special license plate. The soldiers simply asked him a few questions and then let him go immediately.

"It looks like a big deal." Sun Hang held the steering wheel with both hands and said as he drove, "I don't know who is behind this imperial envoy. He is really a bit bold."

"But what he did did us a big favor." Yang Lian said, holding the tablet. "There is nothing to be found online. The news has been completely blocked."

"It feels like this guy is gambling. If he wins, he will be the one who has made great contributions to this incident, and even we will have to stand back." Sun Hang said, "But if he loses, no matter how powerful his backers are, I'm afraid they won't be able to protect him."

"Forget about protecting him. We can't even cut ties with him." Wang Xiyi sneered, "The crime of kidnapping the chief military officer of the air force base. Tsk, even if his father is a member of parliament, it's useless."

Wang Xiyi was wearing a set of clothes that Yang Lian gave her, except that the trousers that were just the right length for Yang Lian became a pair of cropped trousers on Wang Xiyi. The two buttons on the chest of her shirt were in a precarious position, and it felt like they might break off at any time.

As for shoes, I took a pair of size 43 surgical shoes directly from the laboratory.

Although this outfit of trousers, shirt, jacket and Crocs looks very strange, for Wang Xiyi, clothes are disposable items, so she rarely cares about her outfit like other women - after all, once a fight breaks out, even the most beautiful clothes will turn to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Sun Hang, have you ever considered what we should do if the conflict escalates?" A trace of worry flashed in Yang Lian's eyes.

"The conflict escalates? What does it have to do with us? We are just passing by to watch the fun. We are not the ones who kidnapped the base commander." Sun Hang said indifferently, "If it doesn't work, we can just run away... With the Night Fury here, no one should be able to stop us, right?"

"No one can stop me." Wang Xiyi nodded, "I'm almost back to normal."

"..." Yang Lian looked at the two hunters and put his hand on his forehead helplessly.

Along the way, they relied on the military license plate to pass six checkpoints. It was not until the air force base came into sight that the car was stopped by a team of armed soldiers.

Unlike the soldiers at the checkpoints outside who had their guns hung on their backs, the soldiers here were fully armed, with heavy bulletproof ceramic plates inserted in the front and back of their equipment, expensive night vision goggles mounted on the helmet brackets, and the index finger of the hand holding the gun pressed against the trigger guard - this was no longer martial law or combat readiness, this was a complete state of combat.

The situation at the air force base was far more serious than Sun Hang and his three companions had expected. "Stop the car." A non-commissioned officer quickly stepped forward and gestured to Sun Hang to stop the car. "The road ahead has been blocked due to an emergency. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Please return the same way after registering your identity."

He didn't even ask Sun Hang and the others to show their ID for inspection. Several soldiers in the back row raised their guns and pointed their black muzzles at the car windows mercilessly.

"We are not soldiers." Sun Hang stepped on the brakes and leaned his head out to say to the sergeant.

"Not a soldier?" The sergeant was stunned for a moment, took two steps back to look at the license plate, and then said, "Please show your ID... I declare in advance that during this special period, we have been granted the authority to open fire. If you try to enter the blockade area without permission..."

"We are the monster hunters recruited by Tianfu City. We just rushed here from the Monster Research Institute." Sun Hang said.

"Monster Hunter?" The sergeant took Sun Hang and Wang Xiyi's hunter licenses and checked them carefully. "There is no problem with the documents...but the road ahead has been blocked. If you are on a mission, you should take another road."

"Our mission target is at the air force base," said Sun Hang.

"What did you say?" The sergeant frowned. "We didn't receive any related notification in advance... Besides, there is an emergency in the base now. No outsiders are allowed to enter!"

"We are not just random people." Sun Hang said with a smile, "The emergency you mentioned is not the commander of the base being kidnapped, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers at the checkpoint immediately showed nervous expressions. The sergeant also subconsciously put his hand on the butt of his rifle and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? What is your purpose?"

"I've shown you our credentials. We are the only two monster hunters in Tianfu City. We are genuine. The guy with a sour face on the co-pilot seat is my direct supervisor. We are here just to investigate the hijacking incident." Sun Hang said.

"Again, we haven't received any relevant notification. A special team will be responsible for handling the hijacking incident... As for you, I'm sorry, you can't leave for the time being. We will arrange a place for you to rest, and you are not allowed to leave there before getting permission." The sergeant said to Sun Hang, "Now, please get off the car."

"You may have made a mistake. The people sitting in the car now are two monster hunters, not two ordinary people... Well, you should have heard of the name 'Night Fury', right?" Sun Hang signaled with his eyes to Wang Xiyi who was sitting in the back seat.

As the strongest monster hunter in Tianfu City, "Night Fury" is quite famous, especially among the Investigation Bureau, Public Security Bureau and the Army, the three units that often have to cooperate with monster hunters. Even if they have not seen the destructive power of "Night Fury" with their own eyes, they have more or less heard some rumors about it.

As expected, after the name of "Night Fury" was announced, the sergeant's face immediately revealed a strong fear: "Even so... even so, please apply for a legal pass from your superiors before we can let you pass."

"We've applied, but it hasn't been approved yet... You should know the efficiency of those good-for-nothings better than we do." Sun Hang said without reservation, "The situation is very urgent. According to the information we received, the hijacking incident is likely related to the strange creature... The hijacker was affected by the strange creature, so he did such a thing... Do you understand what I mean?"
