Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 319 Beacon
"We can't get out."

The scout lay on his back on the ground, his chest heaving violently.

Outside the building, the monster's heavy breathing sounded like a gust of wind, and even the glass in the windows was shaking slightly.

Light flashed past the window, and between the alternation of light and shadow, a huge shadow flashed by and then quickly disappeared.

The shadows cast into the building through the windows were not just shadows, but also intense, bottomless fear.

Lin Yu had already sat up, and he subconsciously stepped back, moving away from the direction of the door.

Only after confirming that nothing had entered through the door did he slightly loosen his grip on the knife handle.

Agreement Three

"What is Agreement Three?"

"The monster can't get in because it can't destroy the buildings here?"

Lin Yu, still shaken, muttered to himself.

Clearly, the rule that "damage to disaster recovery facilities is not allowed" saved his life.

But how long can this level of security last?
Giant monsters aren't the only creatures around the mountain city!

The small machines they encountered on the outskirts, and the power that could silently set people ablaze and burn them to a crisp.
Even without destroying buildings, this city could still devour itself in another way, right?
It must be hidden.

We must find a truly safe place!

Lin Yu stood up, walked up to the scout, and then extended his hand to him.

"cheer up!"

"We're still alive, at least we're still alive!"

"We've already entered the mountain city; no one has ever done this before!"

"We must keep living!"

"Even living for just one more second is a tremendous achievement!"

"stand up!"

"In the name of the Father, you must shoulder this responsibility!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scout slowly raised his head.

His eyes flickered a few times before he finally grasped Lin Yu's hand.

"How much time do we have?"

"do not know."

Lin Yu shook his head.

"I don't know how much time we have left, or where we can go."

"But at least, one thing is certain: as long as we stay in this building, we are safe for the time being."

"Come with me."

"This building only goes upwards—let's go up and take a look!"

"clear."

The scout followed closely behind Lin Yu, and the two walked one after the other toward the staircase on the side of the building.

This wasn't their first time exploring "ruins," and they were quite familiar with the architectural structures within them.

Lin Yu climbed the stairs and pushed open the door to the second floor.

But when he stepped inside, he froze on the spot.

There is nothing inside.

Empty.

Clean, tidy, even spotless.

Everything in sight was brand new, as if time had stood still in this city.

This was completely different from the ruins he had seen before.

In those ruins, even if some buildings appear relatively "new" for special reasons, the traces of life inside cannot be concealed.

He would find rotten tables and chairs, papers that would turn to ashes with a gust of wind, all sorts of strange devices whose purpose was completely unknown, and some bones that were not yet completely weathered.

But here, there is nothing.

It was as if the entire building was newly built and had never been inhabited before.

A sudden, intense unease rose in Lin Yu's heart. He quickly turned around and led the scouts upwards.

The third layer is the same.

The fourth floor is the same.

The entire building exuded a sense of stagnation and death, and the higher Lin Yu climbed, the more violently his heart pounded.

"What exactly happened here?"

"Perhaps nothing happened, or perhaps nothing at all."

The scout whispered:
"I have a feeling—this city is waiting for something."

"It's like a newly built city, but its master hasn't arrived yet."

"So it can only remain empty and empty."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu frowned.

wait?

This description is indeed quite apt.

Indeed, this feeling of "waiting for someone to fill a vacancy" is exactly what this city presents.

But what is it waiting for?
Huaxia Army?
No, it's impossible.

If it had been waiting for the Chinese army, such a fierce conflict between the two sides would not have been possible.

The crater left by that nuclear bomb was still vivid in Lin Yu's mind. He believed that even if there was the slightest possibility of easing tensions, the Chinese army would never use such a terrifying weapon against this city.

But if it wasn't the Chinese army, then who else could it be?

Lin Yu continued upwards until the last door appeared before him.

If you keep going up, you'll reach the rooftop.

Lin Yu looked at the scout, the two exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously pushed open the door and went out.

"boom!"

The door slammed against the wall with a loud bang. Lin Yu had intended to use the height of the building to quickly survey the surrounding area and confirm the terrain.

But when he saw the scene before him, he was completely dumbfounded.

There is no rooftop.

He returned to the ground.

He was in the center of a huge square!

A tremendous sense of absurdity swept over him, even slowing Lin Yu's forward momentum.

He stood blankly in the center of the square, not knowing where to go.

"go back!"

The scout shouted loudly and turned to run back.

But in that instant, Lin Yu suddenly understood.

mountain city.

I am currently on the top of a mountain.

"No!"

"Let's keep going up!"

He ran forward with firm steps.

Each building is a staircase; by continuously passing through these densely packed buildings, they can reach the highest point in the city!

If this city has a "core area", it must be at the highest point!

This was a fairly simple judgment, and Lin Yu firmly believed in it.

He no longer hesitated and focused solely on climbing upwards.

What monster, what machine, what invisible threat?

At that moment, he had put all dangers out of his mind; all he wanted to do was go to the highest point to see what was there.

Perhaps there, communication between myself and the Chinese army can be restored?
He kept going, and to his surprise, the climb went incredibly smoothly.

The city is indeed recovering, but it doesn't seem to have recovered to the extent he is in.

However, the monsters that posed the greatest threat to him were not allowed to enter the city.

He encountered no obstacles.

In just twenty minutes, he found himself with nowhere to go.

This is already the highest point.

Looking down, the entire mountain town is laid out before you.

At that moment, he realized with absolute clarity that this was neither a divine kingdom nor a "city that does not belong to this world".

It is special.

However, its uniqueness is not inexplicable!

"mechanical."

Lin Yu said in a low voice:

"No wonder the Church of the Mechanical God believes this is their so-called Holy Trinity's Kingdom of Heaven."

"This is a city driven by machinery."

"grown ups!"

The scout's voice suddenly came.

"Someone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu's hair stood on end.

He instinctively turned around and looked in the direction the scout had pointed.

And there, a slender figure was slowly walking towards them.

The figure held a weapon in its hand. A gleaming weapon.

Lin Yu's eyes were about to burst.

"run!"

The moment the words left his mouth, flames suddenly erupted from the scout's chest.

Lin Yu lunged towards the scout's location and shoved him aside with his shoulder.

It was only at this point that the scouts finally realized what was happening.

"Are you crazy? Why are you standing still?"

"Everything in this city is the enemy!"

"Come on!"

"Go back the way you came!"

Lin Yu pulled the scout up, and the two of them ran towards the cover.

The acrid smell of burning flesh filled Lin Yu's nostrils. He subconsciously glanced at the scout's chest, where the burned clothes clung to the bloody wound, as if burned by a hot iron.

What exactly is that weapon?!

Lin Yu believed he had seen enough advanced weapons from the Chinese army, but even so, he was still completely clueless when faced with the enemy's weapons in the mountain city.

He didn't even know if the cover could withstand the enemy's attack, nor did he have the courage to fight back; he could only do his best to get away.

At least in terms of speed, as beings of the source bloodline, the two of them shouldn't be slower than that enemy, right?
However, he was wrong.

The opponent's speed was also extremely fast.

Three figures moved swiftly between buildings and steps. Each time they reached a relatively open area, the enemy would raise his weapon and aim it at the two people fleeing ahead.

Lin Yu felt a burning pain in his back more than once, and gradually he understood the purpose of that weapon.

Start a fire remotely.

Furthermore, it can only be ignited remotely in a straight line.

It doesn't seem so scary?
Lin Yu's violently beating heart suddenly calmed down.

After leaping down another step, he suddenly grabbed the scout.

"I'll draw its attention, you ambush it from the side!"

"understand!"

The scout nodded without hesitation, and the two parted ways immediately, each heading in a different direction.

The pursuer seemed to hesitate briefly, but ultimately it chased after Lin Yu, who was clearly closer.

The head of the strange weapon emitted a dim light, and Lin Yu's clothes suddenly burst into flames.

His skin had been burned through, and the temperature of his internal organs was rising rapidly.

His time is running out.
-
And just at this moment.

The sword flashes!
The scout fell from the height, his long sword slashing down, and the pursuer's weapon snapped in two.

"boom!"

A huge explosion rang out, and the scout was sent flying backward.

Immediately afterward, Lin Yu, who had already changed direction, sprinted forward.

Second knife.

The pursuer's body was completely severed.

Blood splatters.

In the silent square, the pursuer dragged his upper body and struggled to crawl forward.

"Agreement.Agreement"

Agreement One

Lin Yu tried to get closer to hear what it was saying, but it suddenly stopped moving.

After the creature collapsed and stopped moving, Lin Yu turned its body over.

A slightly distorted face appeared in front of Lin Yu.

"people."

"This is not a monster."

"This is a human!"

Meanwhile, outside Tongling City.

Chen Jian had fired the last grenade from his explosive pistol. From this moment on, for a long time to come, he would not be able to use this gun again.

Because this was not only his last 20mm grenade, but also the last 20mm grenade fired by the entire 011 base and the entire Huaxia Army.

They've run out of ammunition and food.

Not only him, but the assault company had almost exhausted all its ammunition during the operation, except for some small-caliber ammunition used by light weapons.

In this extremely fierce and frenzied battle, no one held back.

In order to inflict as much damage as possible on the beast tide coming from the southwest, they have exhausted almost all means.

Artillery shells, grenades, aerial bombs, rockets, large-caliber bullets
High-powered weapons were used first, and when all of these weapons were rendered useless, the assault company, which had long been bloodthirsty, even began to charge fearlessly at the massive monsters with rifles in hand.

With the assistance of the expeditionary force and the infiltration company, they achieved great results.

More than a hundred monsters were eliminated, and the beast tide in the entire southwest was completely dismantled.

The more "intelligent" monsters, on the other hand, had already scattered and fled upon discovering the anomaly.

When the last gunshot rang out, the battlefield outside Tongling City fell silent once again.

Chen Jian was breathing heavily. When he looked around, he saw more than just the monster's corpse.
They were the corpses of those Chinese soldiers.

The vast majority of them died in the final moments of the battle.

When firepower began to wane, and when alternating cover could no longer effectively stabilize the defensive line, they were forced to use their own lives to fill the gaps in the battle line.

Their sacrifice brought about the final victory, but they themselves rest in eternal rest on this muddy, filthy land soaked in the blood of monsters.

In the distance, Huang Yu was carefully examining each corpse, trying to find one or two survivors.

But his efforts were ultimately in vain.

This assault company is facing monsters from a horde of beasts.

Faced with those terrifying monsters, the attacked warriors had only two possible outcomes.

If you manage to dodge it, you'll survive.

Those who cannot escape will surely die.

Between life and death lies a void.

After looking at the last corpse, Huang Yu raised his head with a sorrowful expression.

He looked at Chen Jian and gently shook his head, saying:

"None survived."

Chen Jian remained silent, simply nodding slightly before turning on the radio.

The fighting here is basically over.

However, the crisis involving the Chinese military and Base 011 has not yet been resolved.

While they were battling the beast tide from the southwest, Jinling City was also attacked by monsters.

He needed to understand the situation immediately to decide how to provide support.

"The remaining money!"

"This is Chen Jian."

"Report on the battle situation in Jinling City!"

After he finished speaking, a slightly noisy sound came through the earphones a moment later.

"Reporting, Commander! We can still hold on!"

"But we need reinforcements! The defenses of Jinling City are crumbling!"

"We can only hold out for a maximum of two more hours!"

"understand!"

Chen Jian took a deep breath.

"I will organize support immediately."

"Hold on for another two hours!"

"received!"

Communication was suddenly interrupted.

Chen Jian frowned, and when he looked northeast, towards the direction of Jinling City, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

I have no more power at my disposal.

With all ammunition exhausted, even if the expeditionary force, assault company, and infiltration company, which had already suffered more than half their casualties, were all organized, it would be impossible to change the course of the battle with the limited weapons at hand.

Perhaps that city really should be abandoned.

If all civilians in the city can be evacuated as soon as possible, then at least one can play their last trump card.

Nuclear bomb.

Chen Jian clenched his fist.

He knew he had to issue this order.
-
But just as he was about to speak, a new voice suddenly came through his earphones.

"This is Lin Yu! I am Lin Yu!"

Chen Jian's eyes widened instantly.

He is still alive? !
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yu's voice rang out again.

"I'm in the mountain city!"

"I'm in the mountain city!"

"Beacon!"

"Activate the beacon!!"
