Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 52 Negotiation
Two minutes later, the officer returned to Sun Hang, nodded to him, and said, "You can go in, but you cannot bring any weapons. During the entire negotiation process, you must ensure the commander's personal safety... In addition, you must also ensure that Ye Xuan survives."

"What the higher-ups mean is... we can start now?" Sun Hang showed a playful smile, "As long as the commander and Ye Xuan are alive, it's fine, right? Losing an arm or a leg shouldn't be a problem, right?"

The officer said nothing, but gave him a warning look.

"Okay, it's my turn as a negotiation expert." Sun Hang straightened his collar, took the recorder handed over by another officer, and put it in his pocket. "Let's go."

……

The door of the command room was electrically operated, but the control mechanism had long been destroyed by the hijackers, and the entire door was completely locked.

The soldier who led the way pressed the door opening button several times, but the door remained motionless. He could only helplessly shake his head at Sun Hang and the others.

"We need to use a cutting machine or laser to break the door open...but we are worried that doing so may cause an overreaction from the hostage-taker..."

Before the soldier could finish his words, Wang Xiyi had already strode forward. In the blink of an eye, her ten fingers turned into a pair of sharp claws and inserted them through the crack in the door.

Two seconds later, she had pried the locked door open using brute force.

What followed was a crisp gunshot.

The bullet hit the ground less than half a meter away from the gate. The bullet hit the metal floor, sparks flew, and the warning was obvious.

But Wang Xiyi completely ignored the shot and walked straight into the command room.

"Stop!" a man in black shouted a warning, "If you come any closer, I'll shoot!"

Wang Xiyi still did not stop and completely turned a deaf ear to the other party's warning.

The man in black obviously didn't expect that this strangely dressed woman would be so stubborn. After a brief hesitation, he shifted his aim from the vitals to the calf, and then pulled the trigger.

“Bang! Ding!”

Along with the gunshots came the unique sound of metal hitting metal.
Wang Xiyi's calf was covered with a layer of black scales with a metallic texture. The bullet just now hit the scales - the bullet was bounced off, but there was not even a scratch on the scales.

"This?!" The black-clothed man's pupils shrank slightly, and he was about to speak, but Ye Xuan, who was sitting on the chair, stood up first and turned around.

"Hunter from Tianfu City?" Ye Xuan asked.

She used a neutral false voice, seemingly to match her masculine attire, but the slight bulge in her chest revealed her true gender.

"Very smart, and quick to react." Sun Hang walked out from behind Wang Xiyi.

"You guys aren't here to negotiate with me, are you?" Ye Xuan looked back and forth between Sun Hang and Wang Xiyi. "As far as I know, the abnormal node was first discovered by hunters from Tianfu City... It's you, right?"

"Yes." Sun Hang admitted it readily.

"The special plane of the parliamentary representatives will land at this base soon. I have done everything I can." Ye Xuan looked directly into Sun Hang's eyes, "Next..."

"Next, please propose another condition to them. Ask the Tianfu City Management Committee to gather all the missing persons in the South City Cemetery incident here." Sun Hang showed a helpless smile, "Anyway, you have already done things to this extent. There is no difference between making one request and two requests." "Tsk... I thought you could do this." Ye Xuan's mouth twitched, "I know there are a lot of idiots in the Tianfu City Management Committee, but I didn't expect there would be so many idiots."

"You're right to think it's outrageous. I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure." Sun Hang shrugged.

"I will ask them to bring the person over, but please tell me the time." Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.

"What time?" Sun Hang pretended to be stupid.

"When will the next space-time anomaly appear?"

"How can you be sure that I know this time?"

"It's just intuition, if you ask me."

"Just relying on your intuition, you led a dozen people to break into the Longquanyi Air Force Base and kidnap the commander of the base?" Sun Hang was a little surprised. "Are you crazy?"

"My intuition is always accurate." Ye Xuan repeated, "Tell me the time."

"Three days later, May 19th. I don't know the exact time." Sun Hang put away his smile and said seriously, "When I resonated with that thing for the second time, I saw a gloomy sky. I can't be sure whether it was morning or afternoon, but it should be during the day."

"Three days...Okay, I understand." Ye Xuan nodded. "You guys go now. You should know better than me what to do."

"You don't plan to stay in a stalemate with them for three days, do you?" Sun Hang couldn't help but ask.

"As long as I can prove that your inference is correct, then these three days will be completely worth it." Ye Xuan nodded, "I just hope that you will not let my efforts go to waste."

"I'm a little curious, what are you trying to achieve by doing this?" Sun Hang asked.

"Ever since I can remember, I have been determined to destroy all the weird creatures. Although I know this ideal is out of reach, I have never given up." Ye Xuan said, "As a hunter, you should think the same way, right?"

Sun Hang and Wang Xiyi looked at each other. The latter shook her head and said, "I became a hunter only because the salary is high enough... and as an infected person, it would be difficult for me to live a normal life if I didn't become a hunter. I have no choice."

……

The entire negotiation process took only five minutes, and Sun Hang and Wang Xiyi withdrew from the command room.

The Tianfu City Management Committee also received Ye Xuan’s new request - although they were very reluctant, they still gathered all the missing persons together and transported them to the Longquanyi Air Force Base on several buses.

"What exactly are you planning to do?" The officer who had previously called his superiors for instructions found Sun Hang again and asked.

"Didn't you hear the content of the negotiation? Just wait for three days. If nothing happens after three days, they will naturally release the commander." Sun Hang said, "By the way, please clear out a closed camp in the base and gather the people who have been transported here, as well as the parliamentary representatives, in this camp. No one is allowed to enter or leave this camp within three days."

"What about three days later?" the officer asked again.

"That depends on what happens on the third day."
