"So we can only hope for the third wave attack?" Sun Hang said, "By the way, what is the third wave attack? You haven't had the chance to tell yet."
"Forty-two kiloters east of Chira 17, there's an artillery position at the division level, which was initially planned to provide firepower support during the final operation. I just instructed the logistics departnt to urgently manufacture a batch of liquid nitrogen shells. When the ti cos, they'll coordinate with the existing incendiary bombs for multi-round coverage bombardnt..."
"Commonly known as 'Heaven and Hell', you should understand what that ans, right?" Song Yarong's voice chid in.
"Ahem..." Yang Qi coughed awkwardly twice, "Odd rounds will use liquid nitrogen shells to freeze the spectral entities on the surface of Chira 17, and then even rounds will use incendiary bombs to rapidly heat the frozen spectral entities... Compared to aerial bombing and laser targeting, the advantage of artillery bombardnt is its ability to conduct long-duration, multi-cycle attacks, maximizing the removal of spectral entities on the cocoon surface..."
"So, the question is, are there enough shells?" Sun Hang asked.
"The logistics departnt inford that we can at least guarantee more than sixteen rounds of bombardnt."
...
"So, what are we waiting for now?" Shinkata Misaki stopped staring at Chira 17 and instead found a relatively flat stone next to her to sit down, "If we keep waiting, those faces we just burned are likely to almost fully regenerate."
Sun Hang casually pulled a dry piece of wild grass from between the rocks and stuck it in his mouth, saying, "Waiting for the shells."
To Sun Hang's surprise, it was Yang Qi on the communication channel who couldn't sit still after hearing Shinkata Misaki's words: "The spectral entities can self-regenerate? Is this the latest change you've observed?"
"I... I don't know either." Shinkata Misaki spread her hands, "I an, these faces are layered like human skin cells, when the upper layer is damaged, the lower layer seems to co up... Isn't that just like a wound healing?"
"It's not the sa!" Yang Qi said seriously, "We must confirm whether the spectral entities that were eliminated have the ability to regenerate!"
"How do we confirm?" Shinkata Misaki asked.
"Observe whether there are faces belonging to the sa deceased among the spectral entities, before and after the first wave of feint attacks," Yang Qi stated, "I'm currently borrowing the computational power of the research institute's supercomputer to compare and analyze the footage transmitted from Bunker No. 1... About twenty seconds more, and the analysis result should be out!"
"How long do we have to wait?" Shinkata Misaki asked, swinging her legs in boredom.
"Refitting the liquid nitrogen shells will take so ti... The response I got from the logistics departnt is that it will take at least thirty minutes." Yang Qi replied.
"That long?"
"It's quite fast already, especially since it's a plan proposed on the fly," Yang Qi sighed, "I've maximized the use of the authority granted to by the higher-ups..."
"Let translate for you," Song Yarong chid in again, "Mr. Yang ans that the logistics departnt is almost being pushed to their limits by her, pushing them further would be futile... After all, if you truly push people to their limits, who would be left to do the work?"
"Everyone the logistics departnt can spare has already been sent out, if it weren't for being unable to leave this room, I'd personally go to the factory and fill the shells myself," Yang Qi said, "We can only wait."
"Alright, alright." Shinkata Misaki sighed, then turned to Sun Hang, "Since we have to wait anyway, why don't you go?"
"?"
"Aren't you very capable? Show how many spectral entities you can take out!"
Before Sun Hang could respond, Yang Qi was the first to stop with a shout on the communication channel: "No! Absolutely not!"
"...I was just joking, don't get nervous, don't get nervous." Shinkata Misaki quickly said, "Am I that kind of person who doesn't consider the bigger picture?"
"Hard to say." Sun Hang shook his head.
"You, can't you give a break?" Shinkata Misaki gestured a middle finger at Sun Hang, "Good thing I'm not the type to insist on appearances, otherwise you'd be in big trouble this ti."
"If you really want to cause trouble, I have ways to deal with it..." Sun Hang was halfway through his sentence before suddenly stopping, "Ugh, trouble seems to have really shown up."
"What?" Yang Qi's tone imdiately turned sowhat urgent, "Is there a situation on your side?"
"See for yourself." Sun Hang activated his phone cara, pointing it towards the waist of the mountain.
Only to see a shadow of black creeping upwards along the mountain. Under the cover of night, this shadow was extrely difficult for anyone to spot, but Sun Hang's sharp sense of danger made him notice it imdiately.
"What is that thing?!" Shinkata Misaki also noticed the shadow gradually approaching the peak and couldn't help lowering her voice to ask.
"I don't know, but it resembles a supernatural entity I've encountered before," Sun Hang frowned, "Though that entity should have been annihilated."
"You an... the Temporal Anomaly?" Yang Qi said in astonishnt.
She had been "devoured" by the Temporal Anomaly before, so she naturally understood how grotesque this entity was.
If one had to rank the abilities of the Temporal Anomaly, it would definitely be just below that of eternal night... Had Sun Hang not tily identified the Temporal Anomaly's weaknesses, once that thing "spread" it would be undeniably more destructive than Chira 17.
After all, Chira 17's attack thods are still within the realm of explainable physics, whereas the Temporal Anomaly... that thing can completely overturn conventional human understanding.
