Forty-nine rules of the end times

Chapter 70 Efficacy and Solution

"The first team is in position."

"The second team is in position."

On the outskirts of Yunhua city, several armed teams arrived immediately after receiving orders to build a defensive line.

The soldiers set up several large spotlights for illumination, making the surroundings as bright as day.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, there was no time to set up professional roadblocks. Instead, some wire mesh was tied to the metal barrels, and the barrels were strung together to block the road.

Behind them were armored vehicles of the armed forces, equipped with machine guns and cannons, and several soldiers carrying suitcases were fiddling with equipment; they were all drone operators.

Several operators are controlling military-grade drones, using thermal imaging technology to scan for and monitor targets.

However, operators soon discovered that a large number of undead were not detected. These undead were completely cold, and thermal imaging was ineffective!
"They're coming!"

"Roar!!!!!"

The roars of the undead echoed as thousands of them surged forth. They were people from the surrounding disaster-stricken villages and counties, now resurrected, launching an attack on the great city of Yunhua!
"Fire! We cannot allow them to breach the defenses and enter the city!"

At the commander's order, several armed squads opened fire.

A barrage of bullets and grenades rained down on the undead army surging through the obstacle course, wiping them out row by row.

These undead are fearless, but their defenses are not particularly strong. Breaking their limbs will restrict their movement, and damaging their brains will result in complete death.

Therefore, they were unable to break through the powerful firepower network formed by the armed forces. Soon, the first wave of over a thousand undead soldiers was completely wiped out, and the air was filled with the heavy smell of gunpowder.

At that moment, a flamethrower vehicle slowly drove up from behind.

The commander ordered that all the corpses of the undead be completely incinerated with high-temperature flames. This was an order from higher command, intended to prevent any possibility of their resurrection.

call--!
The flames roared, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and roasting meat. However, this smell made many soldiers feel nauseous and vomit.

Several soldiers looked at the corpses of the undead, and one of them said, "It's a pity that there shouldn't be any reward for eliminating them like this."

"Yes, the orders we received here seem to be 'annihilate them as soon as possible.' But I heard that the brother units in the east seem to be collectively farming coins."

"A mass cryptocurrency dump?"

"Hmm. It seems they require everyone to purchase the [Basic Weapon Crate]. Then, use firearms and other weapons to destroy the undead's mobility, and finish them off with the melee weapons obtained from the crates."

"That's great! It allows you to process coins safely!"

Several soldiers were envious upon hearing this, but then one soldier said in a cold tone, "So what if you swipe it? Have you forgotten that our soldiers' Ascension Coins are all allocated and used uniformly?"

"..."

"Attention! A large number of undead are approaching!"

"All personnel, prepare to fire!"

……

hum...

The unmanned transport vehicle slowly moved forward on the main road, with Guan Tong following behind.

The one person and one vehicle had been moving like this for over ten minutes, encountering several undead during that time. Guan Tong's testing confirmed that the undead's attack targets were humans > moving objects.

It can detect and immediately attack any human appearing within a range of about 30 meters. If there are no humans within this range, it will attack moving objects.

Moreover, Guan Tong's attempt to smear the blood of the undead on his body was ineffective; as soon as he entered the area, the undead immediately detected his presence.

After walking for a few more minutes, Guan Tong suddenly heard the roars of a large number of undead coming from a corner not far away, accompanied by the shouts of a large number of humans.

"Quickly, block it!"

"Don't just stand there! Go bring more tables over!!"

"Damn it, there are too many of them..." Guan Tong quickened her pace and cautiously circled around to the corner from the other side. Peeking out, she saw hundreds of undead attacking a bookstore.

This bookstore was probably used as a refuge gathering place before, and many people lived there.

However, the bookstore's glass doors have long since disappeared, presumably crushed by snow during the fourth rule or bursting due to the low temperature.

Originally, not having a gate wouldn't have been a big problem, but once the fifth rule was introduced, the situation immediately changed.

Guan Tong saw that the people gathered here had piled up many tables and bookshelves at the entrance to prevent the living dead from entering.

But the undead are not those slow-moving zombies that just reach out and grab randomly; their level of madness is on a completely different level.

The undead were frantically scratching at the tables and chairs blocking their way, some even opening their mouths to tear at them with their sharp teeth. Several tables blocking the door were quickly torn to pieces, losing their obstructive function.

Now, only a few large bookshelves remain in front of these undead, but their defensive capabilities are even weaker than a table, and they will soon be dismantled.

"Make way, let me go!"

At this moment, a young man appeared with a burning torch in his hand. He walked to the door with the torch, and the undead who had been frantically tearing down the bookshelves seemed to be frightened and took a few steps back.

"Is this the 'quick-burning stick' sold in stores?!"

"I didn't expect it to have the effect of dispelling the living dead, this is wonderful!"

"Where were they dispersed? Those living dead are still at the door!"

"It seems the undead won't attack as long as they're holding this thing... but I remember each one can only burn for 15 minutes, right?"

The young man holding the torch appealed, "We'll sell 10 torches at a time, each lasting 15 minutes, which means we can maintain safety for a total of two and a half hours! Also, everyone should buy a few sets of Ascended Coins and take turns using them..."

Before the young man could finish speaking, the undead who had been scared back a few steps by the incendiary sticks surged forward again and launched an attack once more!
"What?!" the young man exclaimed in surprise. "Why isn't it working anymore?!"

The intimidation effect of the quick-burning rod on the undead lasted only about ten seconds?

Guan Tong, hiding around the corner, witnessed this scene and found it rather strange. If it had a deterrent effect, it shouldn't have lasted so short... Could it be because there were too many people?

Guan Tong thought it was possible. Perhaps the deterrent effect of this quick-ignition rod could only protect the user, but not others. If one quick-ignition rod were used to protect too many people, its effectiveness would rapidly diminish.

This is dangerous...

Guan Tong looked at the chaotic crowd in the library. In two or three minutes, their defenses would be breached, and when so many undead rushed in, it would only be a human tragedy.

After a moment's thought, Guan Tong raised the Silver Hunter and adjusted it to bullet number 3.

He aimed at the rear of the undead and pulled the trigger.

"boom!!!"

The high-explosive grenade exploded behind the undead the moment it was fired. Dozens of undead were blown away and killed instantly, a sudden scene that startled everyone in the library.

But they were immediately overjoyed. So many undead had been eliminated. Although there were still twenty or thirty left, they could handle that number and would have more time to build a stronger defense at the entrance!
"Did someone just throw a grenade? Are the official troops here to rescue people?"

"Where?!"

"Hey, you over there with the helmet, was that the grenade you threw?!"

Someone with sharp eyes spotted Guan Tong and called out to him loudly.

Guan Tong simply nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then continued walking along South Avenue without making any move to turn left and go find them.

This immediately alarmed everyone, as they desperately needed Guan Tong, who possessed formidable firepower!
"Where are you going? Come and help us defend!"

"Brother, it's too dangerous for you out there. Come inside the library quickly, it's safer if we stick together!"

"Don't go! How many grenades do you have left? Leave us a few!"

Guan Tong ignored the noise and used a No. 3 round to get them out of trouble; that was enough. Staying to hold out was out of the question; he had his own goals to achieve.
