After a brief exchange, Sun Hang and the group of freelance hunters, including Sea Buckthorn Rose, reached a temporary non-aggression agreement. As for the recruitment order, when they heard that the destination was the Egyptian Fallen Zone, many of them wore expressions that plainly said, "Are you kidding me?"
Sun Hang was indeed strong. Even though he had not told them his true identity, the strength he displayed in the recent battle had been overwhelming... but the problem was, no matter how strong he was, his benchmark was still only other hunters who were human.
But compared with Egypt, which lay six thousand kilometers away and had been fallen for more than a century, that strength was somewhat inadequate.
So much time had passed since the first Anomaly War. The Xiazhou Federation—or rather, human civilization—had produced countless super hunters who emerged like stars. There was no shortage of people like Sun Hang who could single-handedly reverse the course of an entire battle.
