Forty-nine rules of the end times

Chapter 74 Destroying the Main Body
Guan Tong and Shi Jingyi exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts—the battlefield had to be moved outside the warehouse!
Otherwise, in a warehouse full of undead corpses, no matter how much damage is done to the "Mother Converter", it can recover through the "blood packs" on the ground.

However, the mental energy that Guan Tong and Shi Jingyi expended in the battle was not so easily replenished.

The two retreated one after the other. Guan Tong ran towards the back door, while Shi Jingyi deliberately slowed down, drawing the attention of the "Mother Transformer" to herself, before exiting through the warehouse front door that she had broken open herself.

The Mother Transformer immediately chased after Shi Jingyi. After Guan Tong came out of the back door, he immediately went around to the front of the warehouse, where he saw Shi Jingyi using her kung fu to defend against and counterattack the Mother Transformer.

When she used her kung fu, a faint light swirled around her body; Guan Tong knew that was her mental energy. This was her unique way of using mental energy to strengthen her body and unleash greater power in her kung fu.

At this moment, she was engaged in close combat with the Mother Transformer, and Guan Tong, holding the Silver Hunter, was unable to intervene for the time being.

"Shi Jingyi!" he shouted, "You're too close to it, I can't fire!"

Guan Tong has 13 No. 3 bullets left. These are the most powerful high-explosive bullets. If even one of them hits the Mother Converter, it will cause considerable damage.

It's even possible that they could blow its body, pieced together from the living dead, to pieces.

But before doing that, Shi Jingyi must first step back to a safe distance.

Upon hearing Guan Tong's shout, Shi Jingyi immediately understood. She first used a punch to deflect the claws of the Mother Transformer, then lightly tapped the ground with her toes and gracefully retreated a considerable distance.

Guan Tong immediately seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger repeatedly, firing a total of seven No. 3 bullets in one go, completely blocking all the Mother Converter's escape routes!
He stopped using single-shot probing tactics; against such a flexible enemy, he had to employ a saturation firepower approach.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

One No. 3 shell was enough to destroy a small target point. Now, seven shells were fired in succession, and the ground near the front door of the warehouse was blown up and the dazzling flames instantly engulfed the Mother Transformer!
Shi Jingyi, who had retreated to a safe distance, was slightly taken aback by the barrage of attacks.

She knew Guan Tong's gun was powerful from the numerous dismembered undead in the warehouse. But she hadn't expected it to be this powerful—was it even a gun? It was practically a cannon!

Guan Tong stared intently at the center of the fire, wanting to know how the Mother Transformer was doing and whether she had been killed in the explosion.
"Ah!!!!!!!!!"

Suddenly a sharp shriek burst forth from the flames; it was the same shriek that had sounded twice before, the one that turned the corpses into the living dead!
Hearing the sound at such close range, Guan Tong immediately felt dizzy. Even though he was wearing a motorcycle helmet, he couldn't stop the shrill sound from entering his ears.

But the next moment he felt a slight weight on his shoulder.

Turning his head, Guan Tong saw that Shi Jingyi had come to his side at some point and placed her left hand on his shoulder. With the flow of her peculiar energy, Guan Tong felt much better.

"Thanks."

"The situation is not good." Shi Jingyi looked into the darkness in the distance, as if she could sense something. "That shriek just now has attracted a lot of undead who are approaching this place."

Guan Tong exclaimed in surprise, "It can even summon the living dead?"

whoosh-

At that moment, a mutilated figure burst out from the explosion caused by the previous No. 3 bomb; it was the Mother Converter.

Although the two only caught a glimpse of it, the creature was clearly severely injured, with most of its body destroyed and its single, scarlet eye also damaged by the explosion.

"It ran into the warehouse, probably to use the corpses of the living dead to repair itself. We can't give it a chance to recover!"

Guan Tong was about to give chase with his gun, but Shi Jingyi stopped him by raising her hand.

"There are too many undead converging here," Shi Jingyi said gravely. "If we stay any longer, they'll be surrounded."

That being said, how could Guan Tong possibly abandon his goal? Moreover, he still had plenty of mental energy left, and even if Silver Hunter ran out of bullets, he could still use his mental energy to create new ones to get out of trouble.

“I don’t have much mental energy left. Guan Tong, your gun is so powerful, it must consume a lot of mental energy as well,” Shi Jingyi said. “For safety’s sake, we should retreat immediately.”

"Shi Jingyi, you should retreat first. I have to kill that monster." Guan Tong had made up his mind and rushed into the warehouse without waiting for Shi Jingyi to say anything more.

Shi Jingyi watched Guan Tong run inside, then hesitated for a moment. Remembering the martial arts school apprentice she had missed because she was too late, her eyes narrowed, and she followed him in.

Guan Tong, who had run into the warehouse first, immediately saw the injured Mother Transformer crouching in the middle, using the corpses of other undead to repair itself. Because its eyes and claws had been destroyed in the bombing, its repair efficiency was far less than before, and most of its body was still in a damaged state.

Guan Tong immediately raised his gun, but before he could fire, the Mother Transformer leaped onto the warehouse wall.

It seemed to possess a certain level of intelligence, knowing that Guan Tong's gun was powerful enough to kill it, so it used high-speed movement to dodge and quickly approached Guan Tong.

Bang bang bang bang!
Seeing the rapidly approaching Mother Transformer, Guan Tong had no choice but to switch to Bullet No. 1, attempting to cover its entire body. However, Bullet No. 1 was not powerful enough; the bullet that hit it only slightly slowed its movement and could not cause fatal damage.

While dodging the attacks, the Mother Transformer continued to hurl the remains of the undead from the ground as projectiles. It was incredibly strong, and Guan Tong dared not take them head-on, so she could only run and dodge.

Just as Guan Tong was preparing to use the Shadow Armor for defense, Shi Jingyi also entered the warehouse and took the initiative to fight the Mother Transformer, allowing Guan Tong to make some adjustments.

Guan Tong was somewhat surprised to see her. He had thought Shi Jingyi would leave, after all, she had said that she didn't have much mental energy left.

"Roar!!!"

The roars of a large number of undead were already echoing not far from the warehouse. Shi Jingyi was right; the shrieks just now had attracted a large number of undead from the vicinity to gather here! Judging from the distance of the roars, it would probably take less than a minute for all of them to run to the warehouse.

It must be resolved quickly!
At this moment, Shi Jingyi spoke up: "Guan Tong, I may have to use up all my mental energy to kill this monster. Go and lock the back door of the warehouse, and use your gun to defend the front door. If you can hold it, we can survive."

"..."

Guan Tong looked at the Mother Transformer, but he had a better idea.

With a thought, the wordless book appeared in his palm, and an ethereal shadow immediately materialized from the pages.

He now understands that the key to killing the Mother Transformer lies in not giving it a chance to recover; its body must be completely destroyed in one go.

This could be achieved with Silver Hunter's multiple 3-round bursts, but the current conditions don't allow it. So, we'll have to let Shadow try.

Guan Tong manipulated the ethereal shadow into a long rope, which swiftly slithered across the ground towards the Mother Transformer who was fighting Shi Jingyi!
Because of the dim lighting, not only the intellectually limited Mother Transformer, but even Shi Jingyi didn't notice that a shadow had silently moved near her.

Then, Guan Tong seized the opportunity and manipulated the shadow to rush into the body of the Mother Transformer when it was knocked back by Shi Jingyi's whip kick!
The shadow in its ethereal state has no physical form and can enter anything. Guan Tong took advantage of this property to deform the shadow again when it entered the mother transformer's body, turning it into a body similar in size to the mother transformer.

Guan Tong then immediately materialized the shadow!

The amount of mental energy required for materialization is directly proportional to the size of the shadow. At this moment, the shadow transformed into the Mother Transformer's shadow is roughly three times the size of a normal shadow. The transformation from physical to real consumes a fixed 20 points of mental energy, and considering the size difference, Guan Tong immediately lost over 80 points of mental energy the instant he materialized!

But the results were excellent!

"puff!!!!!"

An entity of the same volume suddenly formed from inside the body, resulting in the mother transformant's entire body being instantly squeezed and burst apart!
This sudden turn of events took Shi Jingyi by surprise, and she quickly stepped back a few paces to observe intently.

With the help of the dim light, she could only vaguely see a pure black "mother hunter" covered in blood and flesh, but it only existed for less than two seconds before disappearing without a trace.

The true Mother Hunter, now that all the assembled limbs have been crushed, has revealed its true form.

It was a monster no bigger than a palm, with its skin turned inside out, like a newborn chick, but incredibly ugly.

It had no eyes, ears, or nose; its face consisted only of a sharp, bamboo-tube-like mouth. Undoubtedly, the piercing shriek came from this mouth.

At this moment, it was spinning around blindly, seemingly trying to piece together the flesh of the living dead and recreate its powerful self.

But what awaited it was a size 42 shoe sole.

"puff!"

Guan Tong stomped down and crushed the original body of the Mother Transformer to death.
