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

Chapter 327 Continuous Bombing
On the other side, in the mountain city.

Lin Yu lay on the ground, cautiously observing the situation where the lights were on in the distance.

He dared not move at all, and even his breathing was slowed down to the extreme.

After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, he slowly moved backward and returned to the bunker.

Meanwhile, the scouts who had been observing in another direction moved back.

"make life difficult for."

The scout whispered:
“There are drones patrolling everywhere, and there are also many small machines on the ground.”

"Judging from the shape of those things, they look like the unmanned equipment that the Chinese army used before."

“They all have eyesight, and they can all see.”

"If we rush in, we will almost certainly be discovered."

"Those things are no joke."

"With our current strength, there is no way we can defeat them."

"The road is blocked."

"We can only wait here."

"Wait here?"

Lin Yu frowned.

"We can't wait any longer—aren't you hungry?"

"I'm starving to death."

The scout sighed.

"If I don't eat something soon, I really won't be able to hold on any longer."

"We should have kept that body, or at least part of it."

"This way, we can at least hold out for another day or two."

"Are you crazy?"

Lin Yu glared at the scout, who thought he was going to reprimand him for his "cannibalistic" thoughts, but to his surprise, the other man gave a completely different reason.

"The reason we are not being continuously hunted down by those mountain people is because they believe we do not pose a significant threat."

"If we had actually left some of the bodies behind, they would definitely have hunted us down at all costs."

"We'll die even faster! We won't even have a chance to fight back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scout couldn't help but retort:
"It's not necessarily because they think we pose no threat; perhaps it's because they lack the capability."

"Haven't you noticed? There are pitifully few living people left in this city."

"Up to now, we've only seen three."

"The entire city is maintained by those unmanned machines, and those unmanned machines are powered by electricity."

"They can't go to places without electricity; the area illuminated by the lights is their range of movement!"

"so what?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said:
"Seeing only three people does not mean there are only three people."

"The lives of these mountain town people are very precious. They are just temporarily unwilling to take risks, not that they lack the ability to take risks."

"Don't dwell on things that are in the past."

"We must focus on the present and concentrate on solving the most pressing problems."

"I'm trying to figure it out."

The scout moved his fingers, which were slightly swollen from hunger, and as he gently massaged his skin, white marks appeared one after another.

His condition was already quite poor. His extremely high metabolic rate gave him super strength and recovery ability, but when he couldn't maintain the energy required for metabolism, he would die much faster than an ordinary person.

It's only been two days since I went without food, and my body is already on the verge of collapse.

What if we still can't find food within a day?

He glanced at Lin Yu discreetly.

Lin Yu also looked back.

"Don't even think about it."

Lin Yu said with a cold smile:

“Our bodies can no longer digest the toxins in our bodies, otherwise I really would cut off an arm and eat it.”

"However, I do have a different idea."

"what idea?"

The scout's expression shifted slightly, and Lin Yu pointed into the distance, saying:
"See there?"

"That's obviously a park."

“We’ve explored many of these parks in the ruins before. They were built in the city center, and we don’t know what their purpose was.”

"But whatever it is used for, one thing is certain."

"It's a large area with lush vegetation."

"Perhaps there are some living creatures there."

"Whether it's insects, birds, beasts, or anything else, it's all edible."

"We should change our approach and stop trying to find food from the people in those mountain towns."

"We don't have as many taboos about the things they don't eat!"

"Makes sense."

The scout nodded in sudden realization.

But then, another problem arose.

"How to get there?"

"From where we are now, we have to cross a long area of ​​lights to get to the park. Trying to cross it is basically suicide!"

The problem has returned to square one.

Lin Yu frowned, straightened up slightly, and looked around. After a moment, he spoke:
"We can utilize a portion of the aerial orbit."

"As a result, a large part of the route is just along the edge of the lighted area."

"The danger should decrease; it's worth the risk!"

"Then give it a try."

The scout nodded decisively.

"Anyway, we have no other choice."

"I go first."

Lin Yu pressed down on the shoulder of the scout who was trying to get up, and said solemnly:

"I'll go scout ahead first. If we can make it, I'll guide you along my route."

"If I'm discovered, you have to keep hiding and keep thinking of ways to hide."

“We can’t die here so easily. Every minute we live in this city is a huge benefit to those outside.”

"If I die, and you manage to contact the Huaxia Army again..."

"You must tell them what's here."

"They will definitely attack the mountain city. Every word you say will save them a lot of lives!"

"clear."

The scout lowered his body again.

He didn't compete with Lin Yu for the "adventure" opportunity.

Because he knew that neither those who had left nor those who remained were in a much better situation.

It's just a matter of who dies first and who dies later.

After receiving his reply, Lin Yu slowly got up and began to move towards the sky track not far away.

He carefully controlled his body, glancing back every now and then, judging the timing for leaving the cover and quickly crossing by observing the scouts' hand gestures from behind the cover.

The two worked together seamlessly, and in just a few dozen seconds, Lin Yu had crossed the open area and arrived below the sky track.

But from this moment on, the real danger begins.

With a leap, he deftly grabbed the overhead rails and simultaneously flipped himself up by controlling the hilt of his knife.

He made no sound, and the unmanned machines in the distant lighted area did not detect his presence.

Next, he will travel northeast along the skyrail, over a lit area, and reach the edge of the "park".

If he is discovered halfway through, he won't even have a chance to back out.

Hanging in the air, he wouldn't have any room to maneuver, and even the simplest rifle could kill him instantly.

Lin Yu's heart began to pound violently, and he slowly moved his body forward.

But just as he was about to enter the edge of the illuminated area...

A sudden change occurred!

"Uuuuuu——"

A piercing cry suddenly rang out and began to echo throughout the city!

In that instant, Lin Yu's hair stood on end!

It was discovered!

Depend on!
I haven't even reached the lighted area yet!
How can it be? !
Lin Yu desperately wanted to return the way he came, because he knew that if he stayed on this track, he would almost certainly die.

Adrenaline is secreted at an accelerated rate, and the body's remaining energy is completely depleted.

He quickened his pace, and even in the narrow space above the sky track, he successfully completed the turn.

But as he turned around, his gaze swept over the area of ​​lights below.

No, wait! Those are unmanned machines.
They're not aiming at themselves.

They're running away!

No, "fleeing" is not accurate.

After all, the movements of those unmanned machines are quite methodical and regular.

It should be said that they are evacuating!

Evacuate in the same direction!
what's the situation?
Is the power out?

This absurd thought flashed through Lin Yu's mind, but he couldn't afford to think about it too much at the moment.

This is a golden opportunity.

If you want to get past the light zone, you have to seize this opportunity!

He quickly signaled to the scouts in the distance, and the scouts reacted swiftly after seeing his expression and the movements of the unmanned machines.

Without the slightest hesitation, the scouts quickly crossed the route that Lin Yu had already taken.

At this point, he no longer glanced at the area with the lights.

Take a gamble!
Bet they can't see themselves!

The scout moved even faster than Lin Yu, ignoring the sound of the impact with the skyrail.

Lin Yu, who was in front, also reacted after hearing the sound.

Why are you being so hesitant?
The alarm is so loud, it's the best cover for me!

fast!
The two were no longer bound by anything and continued along the sky track.

They quickly crossed the sky track and arrived at a building at the edge of the illuminated area.

"down!"

Lin Yu gave the order again, and the two men continued their journey, leaping between floors and plummeting down the stairs.

But just as they were about to reach the bottom, Lin Yu suddenly stopped.

The scout behind him didn't have time to react and bumped into his back, just as Lin Yu staggered.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out!
The hot bullets grazed past the two men, and when the scout looked up, he saw a figure standing before him.
People from the mountain city, fully armored!

"Knife!"

The scout instinctively drew his long sword from his waist, but before he could steady himself and attack, the mountain city man suddenly turned around.

With a leap, the figure of the mountain city dweller disappeared.

Ran away?!
Lin Yu's heart was pounding.

If it weren't for the scout's collision, that bullet would likely have pierced his skull!

Even so, the other side still holds the advantage.

Why didn't he continue firing? Why did he turn around and leave?

Lin Yu ran quickly toward the direction where the mountain city people had disappeared, and when he looked down over the railing, he was shocked to find that there was far more than one mountain city person running on the street below where the lights were on.

They were indeed fleeing.

In the end what happened?
Lin Yu was caught off guard, but the scout behind him suddenly shouted:
"Air defense alert!"

"That's a fucking air raid siren!"

"I've heard that sound before!"

"A hand-cranked one! The thing I found in the Tongcheng ruins!"

There's something in the sky!

"It's the Chinese army! The Chinese army is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu suddenly realized what was going on.

But then, a huge sense of panic welled up inside me.

The Huaxia Army has arrived, but what are they here for?

There is only one answer.

Drop a nuclear bomb.

They already know from their own experience that nuclear weapons can disable a mountain city, so what is the best combat strategy for a decision-maker?
no doubt.

Of course, it's his mother repeating what she's already done!

"Run!"

"Run!"

Lin Yu shouted almost frantically.

"Down! Find an underground bunker and hide!"

"A nuclear bomb is coming! We need to dodge it first before we can think about anything else!"

"understand!"

The scout realized the seriousness of the situation and grabbed Lin Yu, who was trying to jump down into the street, and then said:

"Just stay inside the building!"

"Let's keep going down; there's space on the basement level of this type of building!"

"At least it's safer than on the streets!"

"understand!"

Lin Yu had also regained his senses by this time. The two of them went down and, after pushing open a door with the four large characters "Civil Defense Project" written on it that they did not understand, they entered the underground space of the building.

It was still empty.

But at this moment, he felt a rare sense of security.

When will the nuclear bomb arrive?

The scout asked.

"do not know."

Lin Yu shook his head and replied:

"It might not even happen."

"After all, they've already used a nuclear bomb once, so the people here should be on guard."

"The same strategy cannot be used twice on these people in the mountain city. This is what the Chinese army said."

"We'll just wait a bit; those mountain city people have already retreated."

"Even without nuclear weapons, we can..."

"boom--"

Before he could finish speaking, a huge, but slightly muffled, explosion suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a slight vibration was felt.

Lin Yu was dumbfounded.

Such an explosion.
It must be a nuclear bomb.

But it seems the explosion occurred quite far away?

It landed outside the city?

Is it still useful then?

Whether it's useful or not, we have to go out and see!
"go!"

Lin Yu pulled the scout along, and the two quickly went up the stairs.

A scorching wind swept over him, but Lin Yu couldn't see the signature smoke and cloud produced by a nuclear explosion.

It's really far.

The attack failed?
Lin Yu frowned slightly, but just then...

A flash of light appeared on the horizon.

"Lower your head!"

Lin Yu suddenly realized what was happening.

"Return underground! The attack isn't over yet!"

"What exactly is going on?"

The scout followed closely behind Lin Yu and asked eagerly:
"What is the Chinese army doing?"

Lin Yu was breathing heavily. After finally returning to the underground, he finally spoke:
"They're pushing forward! They're pushing forward!"

"They're using nuclear bombs to clear the way. They're clearing the way from far away to near!"

"I don't know why they did this!"

"But the second explosion we heard was definitely not the last nuclear bomb!"

"besides!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a third explosion rang out.

"boom--"

This time, the tremors were quite strong.

The bombshell is getting closer!
It's coming soon!

"be prepared!"

Lin Yu shouted into the scout's ear.

next moment.

"boom--"

The earth-shattering explosion seemed to ring right next to their ears.
