Hunter of Mysterious Creature

Chapter 730

"Where are we going now?" Xue Yue asked.

"Are you hungry?"

"Uh... a bit hungry." Xue Yue nodded, "I still have half a bag of red bean bread left at home, can we go back to get it? That... that bread is pretty tasty."

"The fuel cost for this car's round trip is enough to buy ten bags of red bean bread, isn't it?" Sun Hang was a bit speechless, "How much is your red bean bread per bag?"

"I bought the bread from the supermarket's close-to-expiration sale... just one and a half yuan per bag." Xue Yue said, "Even after a few days past expiration, it's still edible..."

"At the price of one and a half yuan per bag, the current fuel cost for the round trip can be converted into cash to buy 14.63 bags of nearly expired red bean bread." The main brain, itching for something to do, immediately helped Sun Hang calculate the value of the red bean bread versus the fuel.

Ordinary cars don't consume this much fuel, but since the floating car needs to power the thrusters and always maintain the operation of the levitation system, its fuel consumption is at least several times higher than cars moving on wheels on the ground.

"Forget about your expired bread, I'll take you for a feast. After eating, we'll go to the lift platform." Sun Hang said, "Main brain, arrange a special flight direct to the front camp of Lake Baikal City."

...

However, to Sun Hang's surprise, he saw two familiar figures on this floating lift platform.

Zhong Ling was still wearing her countless pure black long dresses, her long sleeves enveloping her hands. She glanced at Sun Hang, then at Xue Yue following him meekly like a little wife, a hint of doubt flickering in her eyes.

In contrast to her reticent nature, Wang Xiyi was at the other extreme; upon seeing Sun Hang and Xue Yue, she immediately shouted loudly, "Yo, it's only been a few days and from where have you kidnapped such a pretty girl? But no matter how I look, this girl doesn't seem to be of adult age... Oh no, have you contracted a case of forbidden love?"

"She's not human," Sun Hang said.

"Why are you insulting people?" Wang Xiyi instinctively said, then she paused slightly, "You mean... she's not human?"

"Correct, she's not even an infected." Sun Hang nodded, "She's a bona fide supernatural entity, this body is just a borrowed shell. Her name is Xue Yue, I've arranged a fake identity for her, claiming she's my sister to the outside world."

"This fake identity is too fake... for someone with an unknown background and without relatives, suddenly having a sister pop up, who would believe that?" Wang Xiyi frowned.

"No need for others to believe it." Sun Hang said, "Besides, her fake identity is directly entered into the Federation's Citizen Archives by the main brain core of Dubhe Tower. When it comes to 'authenticity', it might be 'truer' than those true identities."

"Do you plan to take her to Lake Baikal City too?" Wang Xiyi asked again.

"You know I'm going to Lake Baikal City?"

"Yes, Candle Dragon told us." Wang Xiyi nodded, "The combat power over in Tianfu City is overflowing a bit now, we're idle anyway, so we came over to find you... Yang Qi actually wanted to come, too, but she's entangled with a bunch of things over in Tianfu City, she couldn't come at all."

"What about Yang Lian?" Sun Hang instinctively asked.

"She's now acting as her sister's assistant, equally busy." Wang Xiyi shrugged, said with a smile, "Luckily, I don't handle those paperwork tasks, otherwise I might have been roped in too."

"And you? Did you come looking for me too?" Sun Hang looked at Zhong Ling.

However, Zhong Ling's answer completely blocked Sun Hang: "I live in Chunming City."

"Cough cough cough... alright, almost forgot, you are a native of Chunming... by the way, since you've been away for so long, did you go home this time?"

"I did, Dad wasn't home, he's working overtime at the research institute, he won't be back for the next few months." Zhong Ling said, "I don't have any tasks now, so I can go with you."

"Are you going to Lake Baikal City too?" Sun Hang suddenly felt a headache.

Zhong Ling nodded.

"Sigh... get on the plane, get on the plane." Sun Hang waved his hand helplessly, "I was planning to act alone for a quick resolution, but didn't expect you guys to follow."

"What? Afraid we're a burden?" Wang Xiyi glanced at him, "To tell the truth, there aren't many Hunters in the Federation who dare say that... well, speaking of which, you barely count as one."

"It's not that I'm disdaining you all; mainly after seeing the reports from the front line, I feel that this Baikal Remains is somewhat enigmatic, and the danger level of this journey might..."

"More dangerous than Eternal Night and the Surrendered Area?" Wang Xiyi lightly flicked Sun Hang's arm with her tail, "If you put it bluntly, aren't you just disdaining us?"

"Besides going home, I also went to the research institute." Zhong Ling said, "I've replenished a batch of combat-type supernatural remains, and Unit One's remains have also been fully reinforced."

A distant clang of metal scraping sounds echoed, and Unit One's remains, donning a custom-made set of battle armor, climbed up from the edge of the lift platform—previously, it hung upside down like a bat on the steel structure below the lift platform, its optical camo armor perfectly merging with the complex steel framework.

And this armor seems to be incorporated with some kind of aura shielding device, complementing Unit One's own camouflage ability, Sun Hang could sense its presence only when it entered the cabin and came within twenty meters of him.
