Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster! Chapter 465 - 229: Beacon2

If there’s a "core area" in this city, it must be at the highest point!

This is quite a simple judgnt, and Lin Yu firmly believed it.

He no longer had any hesitation and was only focused on climbing upwards continuously.

What monsters, what machines, what invisible threats.

At this mont, he had thrown all dangers behind him and only wanted to see what was at the highest point.

Perhaps there, communication with the Huaxia Army could be restored?

His footsteps did not stop, and to his surprise, the climbing process was exceptionally smooth.

The city was indeed awakening, but it didn’t seem to have reached the place where he was.

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

He encountered no obstruction.

It only took twenty minutes before he found himself with no way forward.

This was already the highest point.

Looking down, the entire Mountain City was in full view.

At this mont, he realized clearly that this was not so Divine Country or a "city not belonging to this world."

It was very special.

But its uniqueness was not inexplicable!

"chanical."

Lin Yu whispered:

"No wonder the chanical God Church thinks this is their so-called Heaven of the Holy Trinity."

"This is a city driven by machines..."

"Sir!"

The voice of the scout suddenly ca.

"Soone!"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yu’s hairs stood on end.

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

And there, a slender figure was slowly approaching.

The figure was holding a weapon.

A flashing weapon.

Lin Yu’s eyes widened in fury.

"Run!"

As soon as the words fell, flas suddenly erupted from the scout’s chest.

Lin Yu rushed towards the direction of the scout, using his shoulder to forcefully push him away.

Only then did the scout finally react.

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

"Everything in this city is the enemy!"

"Hurry up!"

"Return the way you ca!"

Lin Yu pulled up the scout, and the two sprinted madly towards the shelter.

The burning sll of scorched flesh filled Lin Yu’s nostrils, and he instinctively glanced at the scout’s chest, where the burnt-through clothes stuck to the bloody wound as if scalded by a hot iron.

What kind of weapon is that?!

Lin Yu thought he had seen enough advanced weapons with the Huaxia Army, yet even so, he was utterly clueless when facing the enemy’s weapons in Mountain City.

He didn’t even know if the shelter could block the opponent’s attacks and had no courage for a counterattack, he could only try to get away as quickly as possible.

At least in terms of speed, the two Blood Source people shouldn’t be slower than the enemy, right?

----However, he was wrong.

The enemy’s speed was also extrely fast.

The three figures moved swiftly between buildings and stairs, and each ti they reached relatively open terrain, the enemy would raise their weapon to aim at the two fleeing in front.

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

Remote ignition.

Moreover, it could only ignite remotely in a straight line.

Maybe it wasn’t that terrifying?

Lin Yu’s fiercely beating heart suddenly cald down.

After jumping down a level of stairs again, he abruptly grabbed the scout.

"I’ll distract it. You ambush from the side!"

"Understood!"

The scout nodded without hesitation, and the two separated at once, each heading in different directions.

The pursuer seed to hesitate briefly but ultimately headed towards the obviously closer Lin Yu.

The strange weapon’s tip emitted a dim light, and the clothes on Lin Yu abruptly caught fire.

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

He didn’t have much ti left.

----And it was at that mont.

The gleam of a blade!

The scout dropped down from above, swinging a long knife, and the pursuer’s weapon broke as it responded.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion sounded, and the scout was thrown backward.

Imdiately, Lin Yu, who had changed direction, charged forward.

The second cut.

The pursuer’s body was completely severed.

Blood splashed.

In the silent square, the pursuer dragged its upper body, struggling to crawl forward.

"Agreent... Agreent..."

"Agreent one..."

Lin Yu wanted to get closer to hear what it was saying, but it suddenly went silent.

When the figure completely collapsed and no longer moved, Lin Yu turned the body over.

A slightly distorted face appeared before Lin Yu.

"Human."

"This is not a monster."

"This is a human!"

...

anwhile, outside Tongling City.

Chen Jian’s grenade launcher had fired its last grenade. From this mont on, for a long ti, he wouldn’t be able to use this gun anymore.

Because this was not only his last 20mm caliber grenade, it was also the last 20mm grenade in the entire 011 base, in the entire Huaxia Army.

Ammunition exhausted.

Not just him, in this operation, apart from so small-caliber ammo used in light weapons, all the ammo carried by the Penetration Company was basically depleted.

In this intense, insanely extre battle, no one held back anything.

To inflict as much damage as possible on the Beast Tide from the southwest, they had used up almost all their ans.

Shells, grenades, aerial bombs, rockets, large-caliber bullets...

The more destructive weapons were prioritized, and when all those weapons fell silent, the Penetration Company, their eyes already bloodshot from the killing, even began charging fearlessly with rifles at the enormous monsters.

With the assistance of the Expeditionary Force and the Penetration Company, they achieved significant results.

Over a hundred monsters were eliminated, and the entire southwestern Beast Tide was completely dismantled.

And those "smarter" monsters had long since scattered and fled upon noticing sothing was amiss.

When the last gunshot echoed away, the battlefield outside Tongling City fell into silence once more.

Chen Jian was breathing heavily, and as he looked around, aside from the bodies of the monsters, he saw more of...

the corpses of Huaxia Army soldiers.

The majority of them died in the final monts of this battle.

When firepower started to wane, when alternating cover could no longer effectively stabilize the front line, they were forced to use their lives to fill the line.

Their sacrifice brought the final victory, but they themselves were laid to eternal rest on this mud-soaked and filthy land, drenched in monster blood.

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

But his efforts were ultimately in vain.

This Penetration Company faced monsters within the Beast Tide.

In the face of those terrifying monsters, a soldier attacked only had two outcos.

If they dodged, they could survive.

If not, they would surely die.

Between life and death, there was a blank void.

After checking the last body, Huang Yu raised his head with a grief-stricken expression.

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

"No one survived."

Chen Jian was silent, he just gave a slight nod and then opened the radio.

The battle here had basically ended.

But the crisis for the Huaxia Army and 011 base was not over yet.

At the sa ti they were fiercely battling the Southwest Beast Tide, Jinling City was also under attack by monsters.

He needed to imdiately understand the situation over there to decide how to support them.

"Yu Qian!"

"This is Chen Jian."

"Report Jinling City’s status!"

His voice fell, and after a mont, a slightly noisy voice ca through the headset.

"Reporting to the commander! We can still hold on!"

"But we need support, Jinling City’s defenses are collapsing!"

"We can hold for at most two more hours!"

"Understood!"

Chen Jian took a deep breath.

"I will organize support imdiately."

"Hold on for two more hours!"

"Copy that! Copy that!"

The communication suddenly cut off.

Chen Jian furrowed his brows, and when he looked towards the northeast, towards the direction of Jinling City, his eyes suddenly beca sharp.

He no longer had any forces to call upon.

All the ammunition was depleted, and even if he gathered the severely decimated Expeditionary Force, Penetration and Assault Companies, it would be impossible to change the outco with the limited weapons in hand.

Perhaps that city really should be abandoned.

If he could evacuate all the civilians from the city as soon as possible, at least then, he could play his last card.

The nuclear option.

Chen Jian clenched his fist.

He knew he had to give this order.

---- But, just as he was about to speak, a new voice suddenly ca through his headset.

"This is Lin Yu! I’m Lin Yu!"

Chen Jian’s eyes instantly widened.

He’s alive?!

Imdiately after, Lin Yu’s voice ca through again.

"I’m in the Mountain City!"

"I’m in the Mountain City!"

"The beacon!"

"Activate the beacon!!"
