Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 97 Garuda

As soon as Sun Hang said this, the cabin fell into silence.

If before today, people's concept of eternal night only existed in the form of textual descriptions, then now, that indescribable pressure has fallen firmly on their shoulders.

There is a saying in Xiazhou, "Don't panic if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up"... But now, these people sitting in the cabin are the "tall people".

……

"I'm at my stop." Ye Jiu broke the silence. He patted Sun Hang on the shoulder and said, "Although you are annoying, but... don't die."

"The arrogant one has retired. Get out of here." Sun Hang smiled and kicked Ye Jiu on the butt, kicking the unsuspecting Ye Jiu out of the cabin.

"Fuck you--" Ye Jiu's curse instantly disappeared in the air.

"He shouldn't die from the fall, right?" Sun Hang glanced outside the cabin. They were now at an altitude of more than 700 meters. The Qingcheng Mountain base directly below was so small that it looked like a set of miniature architectural models.

"He won't die from the fall." Ye Xuan said calmly, "He once tried to parachute from an altitude of 4,000 meters without a parachute or any protective equipment, and he landed successfully."

"Four thousand meters? Didn't he faint in the air?" Yang Lian couldn't help asking, "Does that armor... still have the function of maintaining vital signs?"

"I don't know... Anyway, after putting on that thing, you can no longer look at him as a normal human being." Ye Xuan said, "The real combat power is actually the strange equipment itself. The qualified person can only be regarded as the living CPU of the equipment."

The helicopter carrying Sun Hang and his companions continued to fly towards the designated location, but behind them, a giant flying platform with a diameter of more than 200 meters had taken off and quickly caught up.

"This big guy wasn't made temporarily, was he?" Sun Hang glanced at the bracelet. There were only six minutes left before Longyan Fort hit Tianfu City.

"The aerial combat platform 'Garuda I'." Ye Xuan introduced, "This was urgently transferred from the northern defense line after the arrival of the Eternal Night. It was just delivered to Qingcheng Mountain yesterday. I didn't expect it to be put to use today."

Sun Hang looked up and saw a figure wrapped in heavy protective clothing standing alone in the middle of the platform. Staff members were busy running around her from time to time, but no matter how urgent their expressions were, they would rather take a detour than enter the area within thirty meters around that person.

It was as if it was a restricted area where anyone who stepped into it would bring misfortune.

"It's Bao Si. She's ready." Ye Xuan said, "When Garuda flies to the front of Longyan Fortress, she will remove all the protection on her body... If the charm is successful, Garuda will slowly change the direction of Longyan Fortress, first moving tangently to the north along the edge of Tianfu City, and then guide it to the northwest after pulling away from it far enough."

"If the charm succeeds..." Yang Qi took a deep breath, stared at Ye Xuan and asked, "How is the progress of the evacuation of the citizens in the dozen or so blocks in the west of the city?"

"Only 2% has been completed. Time is too tight. In addition, the earthquake caused by the movement of Longyanlei has greatly increased the difficulty of evacuation. Forced evacuation will only cause serious stampedes." Ye Xuan shook her head, "We can only give priority to important scientific researchers and equipment. As for ordinary citizens..." Ye Xuan did not continue.

This is a battle with no retreat.

Sun Hang glanced at Bao Si in the distance again. She was wearing that bulky and funny protective suit, like the mascot of a tire brand.

Sun Hang didn’t know what she was thinking right now... Maybe she was very nervous?
After all, the lives of millions of people rest on her shoulders.

If I were in that position, would I feel nervous?
Sun Hang suddenly felt confused.

There seemed to be a voice in the depths of his mind saying that the lives of those who had nothing to do with him were insignificant. But his self-consciousness kept telling him that this idea was wrong. If he really thought like this, sooner or later he would completely lose his humanity and become a weirdo.

……

A loud rumbling sound filled Sun Hang's cochlea, like a drumstick, hitting his eardrum fiercely - compared to the scene in the video, the scene he saw with his own eyes was much more shocking.

He could now fully understand the panicked tone of the man at the observation post when he reported the situation... A mountain, a moving mountain, split the earth, tore up the hills, and carried everything it touched, moving towards the symbol of human civilization - the city with great momentum.

The man-made flying vehicles surrounding the mountain were as small as mosquitoes. Even the gigantic Garuda was nothing more than a stainless steel dinner plate suspended in the air in front of the Longyan Fort.

"Prepare to adjust the angle!" The person in charge of on-site command and coordination shouted at the top of his lungs in the communication channel - he had to use the loudest volume, otherwise his voice would be drowned out by the loud noise made by the movement of Longyan Fort.

"One last confirmation, the defense team is fully in place! The Dragon Rock Fortress induction operation will officially begin in fifteen seconds!"

"Let's do a final check of the safety measures. Once completed, all outsiders, please evacuate the platform!"

"All monitoring equipment on the platform is turned off! On-site personnel, please pay attention to your sight! Only look at the direction you are responsible for, and it is strictly forbidden to look back!"

"Can Bao Si's charm still work through the screen?" Sun Hang asked.

"Yes." Ye Xuan nodded. "Besides, even if we put a thick mosaic on her, it will be useless... There is really no other way to temporarily shut down the monitoring equipment."
