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

Chapter 277 Heresy Inquisition
What kind of monster can still remain active after withstanding two rounds of bombing?
Jin Zhong didn’t know, and neither did Shen Yue, who was rushing to Liangxi City at high speed in a Mengshi vehicle.

Theoretically, even if only one bomb hits, the resulting overpressure and high temperature are enough to kill all microorganisms, including bacteria and even viruses.

Now, two rounds of bombing have been carried out. Jiang Yu, who was originally planning to go to Changshan to receive rocket fuel, has dropped four bombs on the monster's head.

The main part of the monster had almost been completely destroyed, but now, Jin Zhong actually told himself that the monster had been resurrected again.

Such a result was beyond his cognition. Even if the information was input into Fuxi's system, it would not be possible to come up with a relatively reasonable explanation based on the knowledge system that humans have already mastered.

Fuxi could only think that it was a special kind of fungus.

A type of fungus that has basic intelligence and can rely on special media to connect and form symbiotic relationships.

The humanoid monster that was surrounded and killed by the Guards Brigade led by Jin Zhong was obviously the controller of this second-level monster. The gas released by the cyst on its back might be some special pheromone.

The pheromones produced by its self-detonation before death may have issued new instructions to the colonies, allowing those colonies that had split prematurely to avoid the bombing to reunite.

There is no doubt that this is a very clever tactical response and a very advanced survival strategy.

But who formulated this tactic?
Where does this fungus come from and how does it come into being?

Nobody knows.

Shen Yue clenched the grenade launcher in his hand.

He had received the latest information from Jin Zhong, and also learned that "monsters can only be destroyed with fire."

But he was not carrying any weapon capable of setting fire.

But it's not a big deal.

He brought a nuclear bomb.

The purpose of flame is to generate high temperature, and nuclear bombs can also generate high temperature.

Is it true that setting fire is useful but nuclear bombs are useless?

The warrior car moved forward all the way and headed straight towards Liangxi City.

From a distance of several hundred meters, Shen Yue had already seen Jin Zhong who was on guard outside the city.

He quickly got out of the car, ran to Jin Zhong, and asked:
"What's the situation in the city? Are there any survivors?"

Jin Zhong shook his head and replied:

"We have checked most of the area and found no survivors."

"This city is already a dead city. The bacteria has covered every corner of the city. Even if there were survivors before we arrived, there are none left now!"

"If you're going to do anything, do it quickly. We have to stop the monster from reviving again!"

"I know."

Shen Yue nodded slightly.

"We're going to place nuclear bombs in the city."

"Nuclear bomb?!"

Jin Zhong's eyes widened in astonishment. Shen Yue frowned slightly and then asked:
"Do you have a better idea?"

".No."

Jin Zhong took a deep breath and then asked:
"If a nuclear bomb is detonated, will this city cease to exist?"

"Most likely."

Shen Yue nodded slightly.

"So, you must confirm that there are absolutely no survivors in this city."

"If there are still people alive inside, their lives will be counted on our heads!"

".I can't confirm that."

Jin Zhong clenched his fists tightly.

"We can't complete the search of every corner of the city. I can't rule out the possibility that there may be survivors hiding in hidden corners of the city."

"But... we really don't have time."

"These colonies are reorganizing, and they're moving very quickly. We have to destroy it before it takes shape."

"Master, you have done enough."

"This responsibility should be borne by me."

"Leave the nuclear bomb to me."

"I'll set it up, I'll detonate it."

"If there is any problem, I will be judged by the Holy Trinity as a sinner!"

"you?"

Shen Yue was stunned.

He never expected that Jin Zhong would eventually make such a decision.

He also thought that the other party would try their best to organize themselves to detonate the nuclear bomb.

Or, even if he doesn't stop it, he will find ways to try to convince himself and say something like "Let me do it again."

But it didn't.

Jin Zhong in front of him was terrifyingly calm. Under the cover of the protective suit, his eyes revealed a cold firmness.

He seemed to have let go of a lot of things.

But at the same time, he picked up a lot of things.

Shen Yue exhaled lightly, and then said:
"Then you can go."

"Huang Meng, remove the warhead and install the trigger detonator."

"understand!"

Huang Meng behind him gave a brief answer, and then quickly directed the team members to unload the small 20,000-ton tactical nuclear warhead from the Mengshi vehicle.

While Shen Yue was operating the PDA to unlock the nuclear bomb, he said to Jin Zhong:

"The radiation killing radius of a 1-ton nuclear bomb is less than 500 kilometer, and the actual high-temperature zone is less than meters, so you must deploy the nuclear bomb at least within meters of the monster condensation area to ensure effective killing of it."

"Go now. Vehicles can't enter. Ask someone to carry it with you!"

"understand!"

Jin Zhong didn't say any unnecessary words. He turned and walked towards the nuclear warhead. He and his adjutant grabbed the straps that had been tied in advance on the left and right, and then walked quickly towards the city center.

At this time, the colony that constitutes the second-level monster has gradually formed a entity.

Shen Yue looked at the scene in the distance with a serious expression, and his worries grew deeper.

The forms of combat have become more and more diverse.

If before they only needed guns and cannons to kill almost all enemies, now, when level 2 or even level 1 monsters appear frequently, their own response methods must also be upgraded.

That is to say, the Chinese army still possesses nuclear bombs, a powerful weapon that can defeat all opponents with its force.

What if there were no nuclear bombs?
So how should we deal with this monster?
No wonder Fuxi classified it as level two.

With the technological level and combat capability of humans in this world, they are almost powerless to fight back when facing this kind of thing.
At this time, Jin Zhong had already deployed the nuclear bomb and returned to the team.

Without any hesitation, Shen Yue led everyone to retreat quickly.

Ten minutes later, everyone evacuated 10 kilometers away.

With a strong flash of light, the nuclear bomb exploded.

"boom!"

The high temperature flames devoured everything, and under the mushroom cloud, all the uncleanness and sin were washed away.

Jin Zhong watched the explosion in the distance in silence, tears streaming down his eyes due to the stimulation of the strong light.

Taking a deep breath, he said:
"Captain, I would like to borrow your vehicle."

"Where are you going?"

Shen Yue asked.

"The heretics of Liangxi City's Crusader Army have already evacuated ahead of schedule, abandoning the civilians here."

"They left from Taihu Lake and will definitely land in Suzhou."

"I'm going to rush over there and intercept them."

"They must pay for what they have done."

"The Judgment of the Most Holy Trinity. I must deliver it personally!"

At the same time, on Taihu Lake.

Several steamships spewed black smoke and slowly moved southeastward. The Bishop of the Mechanicus and the Lord of Liangxi City stood at the stern, looking far in the direction of Liangxi City.

He also saw flashes of light emanating from there, as well as a faint mushroom cloud.

Without asking the temple, he had already guessed what happened there.

Another "sun" has risen.

There is no doubt that in order to eliminate the monsters there, the Chinese army once again used their most powerful weapons.

This news completely relieved his originally worried mood, but the reason why he felt relieved was not because of the result of "the monster was destroyed", but because of the "nuclear bomb explosion" itself.

He let out a long sigh and said to the priest beside him:

"I was originally worried about how to explain this to the church, but now it's OK. I don't need to explain it anymore."

"The Huaxia Army took over and intervened in this crisis."

“Then whatever happens is their responsibility.”

After the voice fell, the priest beside him nodded thoughtfully, but then asked tentatively:
"It seems. Maybe not?"

"We will eventually have to bear the responsibility for the unsuccessful evacuation. We have no excuses for this."

"Although the Crusaders from other cities did not arrive in time, they could have said in front of the Saint that time was too tight, the Crusaders were slow to prepare, and there were not enough transportation tools."

"These are all understandable reasons but what about us?"

"We were already in Liangxi City and we could have done something."

"Your Excellency, perhaps we shouldn't be so eager to retreat."

"It was my fault."

The bishop nodded without hesitation and then said:

"I underestimated the monster's lethality. I didn't expect it to be able to kill all the residents of the city in such a short time."

"This has definitely reached the standard of a Level 2 monster. It's even possible that this is a Level 1 monster."

"But that is also why our evacuation can be explained."

"After all, even if we stay there, can we save the lives of those civilians?"

"You should thank me for my decisiveness, otherwise, everyone on these three ships would have died in Liangxi City."

"yes."

The chief priest breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"You are right."

"I'm just worried that such 'cowardly' behavior will attract the punishment of the saint."

"no, I can not."

The bishop shook his head.

"Before the nuclear bomb explodes, perhaps there is a possibility that we will be punished."

"But after the bomb went off, no one could blame us anymore."

"Because no one knows what happened in that city."

“No one knows whether the residents of that city have died or are being evacuated.”

"So, you must make sure our warriors remember one thing."

"Liangxi City has already started evacuating, but not so quickly."

"The believers in Liangxi City are still alive. They did not die at the hands of monsters."

"It was the Chinese army. Those heretics used extreme means to hunt the monster, causing all the civilians who were unable to evacuate in time to be buried with the monster."

"do you understand?"

".Understood."

The priest nodded slowly.

At this moment, he felt a little guilty, but he also knew that he had no choice now.

The steamship gradually approached the port of Suzhou City. The bishop stretched his slightly stiff feet and walked from the stern to the bow.

The bishop of Suzhou City was already waiting in the distance with the crusaders, and the berths at the port were ready. With a slight vibration, the three steamships docked smoothly.

Then the springboard was lowered.

Escorted by several crusaders, the bishop was the first to step onto the steps.

It will be safe soon.

His tense heart finally relaxed completely.

Next, I don't have to worry about those monsters and the people anymore, I just need to focus on dealing with the inspection of the temple.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the bishop's face.

He waved to the bishop opposite him, stepped onto the dock with steady steps, and was about to turn around and order everyone to land, but at this moment...
"boom!"

Gunfire suddenly rang out.

Followed by.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

Dense rain of bullets was fired at the three steamships from the shore and the water. Countless grenades were thrown. The deafening sound of the explosions stunned the bishop who had just come ashore.

He had no idea what was happening, but the next second, several bullets had pierced his body.

He felt no pain, just great dizziness and weakness.

His body fell limply to the ground, and he struggled to crawl away, only to see a team that had appeared from nowhere, charging at the steamship with terrifying repeating rifles.

Assault, boarding, boarding, searching, clearing
That team swept away all the armed Crusaders on the three steamships like a whirlwind, while the Crusaders in the distance stood there in a daze, as if they had not reacted.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The bishop saw the man opposite and shouted in fear, then quickly retreated with his team.

At this moment, hope surged in his heart.

Maybe there is still hope.

The Suzhou City's Crusaders are not weak in strength. If they can defeat this powerful team, perhaps they can still survive!
He struggled to crawl forward, trying to find a corner where no one cared and hide.

But a foot had already stepped on his back.

"Got you."

The man spoke.

The bishop looked back in fear, and then he said with bloodshot eyes:
"Yes, it's you"

"Jin Zhong!"

"Why. Why??"

“This is a trial.”

Jin Zhong's tone was extremely calm.

The muzzle of his gun was pointed at the bishop's head.

"This is betrayal! You have no right to judge me! Only the Holy Temple has the right to judge!"

"What exactly do you want to do? Do you want to be an enemy of the Holy Temple? Do you want to be an enemy of the Church of God?"

"It's not too late to stop now. I can ask the saint for mercy for you!"

"This is a misunderstanding!"

“This is not a misunderstanding.”

Jin Zhong's finger slowly pressed down the trigger.

"Stop! Stop!"

"The Crusaders from Suzhou City are here! Do you want to die?! They won't let you go!"

"boom!"

Without any unnecessary nonsense, Jin Zhong pulled the trigger.

The bishop's head exploded into pieces, and on the ground, there was an extremely dirty red and white liquid.

Jin Zhong took a deep breath and looked at the Crusaders in the distance.

At this moment, a bomber carrying bombs was roaring past his head.

The black shadow passed over Jin Zhong's body, like a ghost pouncing on the enemy.

He exhaled lightly, raised the muzzle of the gun, and said:
"Let me see, who dares to move?!"
