Before Sun Hang could co up with a solution for the Federation, Wei Yuan's fighter jet once again sent a laser communication.
"Just received news from Celestial City, four minutes ago the Gemini Balloon started moving, it has now retreated above the Surrendered Area, leaving our surveillance range... Alert level has dropped to Level Two."
"What about this hit-and-run tactic... Why did this thing suddenly attack , does the Brigadier General have any thoughts?" Sun Hang asked.
"I'm only responsible for executing the mission, you should ask the people on the ground for details." Wei Yuan seed unwilling to talk much with Sun Hang. After notifying him of this ssage, the communication was cut off again.
...
Nine minutes later, the transport aircraft piloted by Sun Hang finally landed steadily on the temporary helipad behind the Celestial City Mysterious Creature Research Institute, and those fighter jets responsible for escorting circled twice in the air before heading to the air force base in the mountains.
As soon as Sun Hang opened the cabin door, the dical personnel who had been prepared for reception imdiately took out two unconscious pilots on stretchers.
"Welco ho." Wearing a neat black suit and trousers, Yang Lian stood at the cabin door with arms crossed, his face stern as he spoke to Sun Hang.
"You seem unhappy to see ?" Sun Hang asked.
"No, it's just that the work intensity has been too high lately and I really don't want to waste energy on making facial expressions and emotional displays." Yang Lian replied expressionlessly.
"I thought you would be like Ling Xiao, experiencing..."
"What?"
"Nothing?" Sun Hang said casually, "Saying you're out of energy, the makeup is still quite delicate."
Despite the circumstances, the foundation and concealer on Yang Lian's face still couldn't completely cover the dark circles and exhaustion in his eyes, even his lips, only coated with transparent lip gloss, looked sowhat pale.
"My job is to receive Hunters from various places coming to aid and military high officials. If I were as unkempt as my sister, it would damage the entire image of Celestial City." Yang Lian replied.
"Celestial City's image is already completely ruined, can't get any worse." Sun Hang looked up at the dark sky, "Where's your sister?"
"She was forced to rest, she should still be lying in the dical cabin." Yang Lian turned around, leading Sun Hang and the other two towards the research institute building, "Her work intensity is even higher than mine, her physical condition has deteriorated to an extre."
"It's lucky she didn't collapse." Sun Hang nodded, "What about Mr. Wang and the others?"
"They are all carrying out vigilance tasks around the research institute... Just now, Night Slayer heard about the Gemini Balloon's attack on your transport aircraft and almost flew up to deal with the Gemini Balloon's main body. Fortunately, she was persuaded by the director."
"The main body of the Gemini Balloon? The one on the near-earth orbit?" Sun Hang paused for a mont, "Can Mr. Wang still break through the atmosphere alone? And from the ground up?"
"I don't know." Yang Lian directly dismissed it with a quality answer.
Along the way, Sun Hang discovered that the Celestial City Mysterious Creature Research Institute had completely transford in the short span of two days. A large number of defensive facilities and heavy weapons made it look less like a research institution and more like a military fortress. Looking up, one could see several drones suspended in the air — these drones were equipped with special scanning devices, capable of identifying whether the persons entering and exiting the institute were ordinary humans, infected, or objects disguised as humans.
The area of the research institute has also increased several tis, with the nearby park and a small industrial park area being requisitioned by the Federation Governnt. All the facilities serving reverse engineering, which are irreplaceably important, have been relocated to near the research institute, including two FL09 reagent growth lines that were just brought in from out of town and assembled overnight.
A team of fully ard soldiers ran past Sun Hang, the leading officer slightly glanced at the Hunter wristband worn on Sun Hang's wrist, leaving a sowhat puzzling look.
"Looks like you've been dealing with a lot of trouble lately?" Sun Hang could sense a hint of unfriendly emotion from that look.
"You knew?" Yang Qi turned back, looking at Sun Hang with so confusion.
"I didn't know." Sun Hang handed back those four words exactly, "I just guessed casually."
"Well, you guessed right... indeed, a lot of trouble." Yang Lian sighed, "Although most of the Hunters who have co to assist are cooperating well with us, you also know, the Mysterious Creature Hunter group, it's common knowledge within the circle that people with quirky personalities or temperants aren't few — this isn't discriminatory against you, just a widespread recognition in the circle."
"I know this."
Sun Hang did not deny — whether Hunters or ordinary infected, it's extrely rare for people to maintain normalcy after going through such events, not to ntion that a considerable portion of s will also subtly influence and transform the thinking patterns of the infected.
For departnts managing the infected, monitoring their psychological states is as important as monitoring their infection processes.
Regarding individual "extre" infected, the Federation naturally would take extre mandatory asures, even directly proceeding with "harmless treatnt."
"The Hunter DUI accident from the day before yesterday hasn't been resolved, and yesterday the team of Hunters just arrived from Liangzhou had a conflict with the garrison over a small matter, resulting in two soldiers being severely injured, likely facing lifelong disabilities... Fortunately, the military eventually controlled the situation, preventing any deaths."
