Forty-nine rules of the end times

Chapter 317 Winning Two Wars Simultaneously
In the Black Flag Kingdom, within a valley, a fierce battle is raging.

Various mental power items and abilities launched attacks and defenses that were intertwined, with colorful lights flashing continuously.

One side in the battle had only a little over a hundred people, who were guarding a pass and resisting the enemy's attack.

The enemy forces attacking this pass numbered in the thousands, stretching out like a long snake, densely packed and seemingly endless.

Facing an enemy force dozens of times larger than their own, the defenders would likely have been overrun and annihilated long ago if it weren't for the narrowness of the pass, which prevented multiple people from passing through at the same time.

Even so, faced with such a huge disparity in numbers, the defenders gradually became overwhelmed, and the Ascended Ones at the front fell one after another.

"They can't hold on much longer!"

"Hold on! If these monsters get through the pass, we're all doomed!"

"Damn it... my mental energy is depleted! Ugh!!!"

Even elite Ascended beings who can take on ten opponents would only die from exhaustion when faced with such a huge numerical disadvantage and the fact that their opponents are fearless parasites, and they have no way to escape.

As soon as many people fell, a large group of enemies swarmed into the pass, and those behind them continued to surge forward.

The defenders inside the pass were utterly desperate upon seeing this. Those guarding the front were the strongest among them, and once they fell, those behind them had very little fighting power left.

Some people couldn't help but cry out loud. They had finally escaped from the city full of parasites, but they still couldn't escape the clutches of these monsters.

"boom!"

Just as the defenders were in despair, a loud sonic boom suddenly sounded in the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge white object rapidly landing.

"boom!!!"

The thing landed at the pass, instantly killing seven or eight parasites who couldn't dodge in time, and sending more than ten flying.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that what had descended from the sky was a light-colored mecha! Its streamlined body was dazzling, like a work of art.

"You all stand back."

A mechanical sound emanated from the mech, followed by a swing of its arms, accompanied by a rhythmic "humming" sound, as two power swords extended from the bottom of its arms.

The Ascended Warriors of the Black Flag Nation were overjoyed at the unexpected aid. A boy of about ten years old, clearly having watched the "Ascended Warriors Showdown" program, pointed at the mecha and cheered, "The Snowless Trace! It's the Snowless Trace!"

"The kid has pretty good eyesight."

Bai Xuewu muttered something inside the mecha, then her eyes narrowed as a scanning interface appeared before her, giving her a complete view of the enemy's situation.

She propelled her body forward, wielding two power swords as she charged into the horde of parasites.

The parasites immediately attacked the mecha, but they were unable to damage it at all. Instead, they were cut down and destroyed by the mecha's blades.

Then a whistling sound came from high above, the sound of long-range weapons, followed by a series of explosions, and a large number of distant parasites were blown to the ground.

As soon as the bombing ended, a large number of armed helicopters arrived in quick succession. Joint forces from Soroma and Northstar arrived, and soldiers quickly landed to help eliminate the remaining parasites.

The battle ended in less than ten minutes after thousands of parasites were bombarded by fighter jets, swept away by Ascended soldiers, and killed by Bai Xuewu piloting the mecha.

"call."

The mecha disengaged, and Bai Xuewu landed, catching her breath. She took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket and ate it. Piloting the Bai Xue Wuhen for so long had taken a toll on both her mental and physical strength.

but……

She looked at the rescued Black Flag Nation Ascendants, and the joy on their faces as if they had survived a catastrophe made her feel that her exhaustion was worthwhile.

"Snowflakes Without a Trace!"

The boy ran over and shouted, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at her. Although they couldn't understand each other's language, he pronounced the mecha's name correctly.

Although Bai Xuewu has always been socially awkward, she still tried her best to be kind to the child and took out a piece of chocolate to hand to the boy.

The boy happily took it and ran off, while other Black Flag Nation Ascendants were being questioned by their commander to get information. Soon after, the joint operations commander's instructions rang out in everyone's earpieces.

"These people escaped from Cloma City, which had already been taken over by the parasites when they fled. But many people are still trapped in the city. Our goal is to take back the city from the parasites and rescue the remaining humans."

"Remember! We currently have no way to distinguish between humans and parasites. Combat personnel must be vigilant against any Black Flag People, even if they claim to be non-parasites. Alright, rest for five minutes and then set off."

"receive."

Bai Xuewu knew that retaking a city was not as easy as a battle in the wild, and there would definitely be many casualties.

However, she had made preparations before coming. Even her younger sister, Chen Na, went to Yingqi to participate in a dangerous investigation, so how could she, as the older sister, let her down?

……

Guan Tong believes that his combat ability is slightly inferior to his reconnaissance ability.

That's right. Shadows are far more convenient for reconnaissance than for combat. Their greatest advantage lies in their ability to remain completely hidden while also ignoring terrain to a certain extent.

Just like now, a large number of shadow lines, under his manipulation, crossed the seawater and silently climbed onto the "Yun Jia".

Guan Tong believes that the ship lacks a protective barrier because its area is too large, and ordinary barrier items don't have such a wide effective range. Furthermore, the overlapping of multiple barrier items used by different ascendants can lead to conflicts or malfunctions.

Large ocean-going cargo ships like these, capable of carrying tens of thousands of containers, are over 500 meters long from bow to stern and nearly 100 meters wide.

It's unrealistic to expect to cover such a massive object with a single barrier.

However, Guan Tong estimates that in some core areas, such as classified laboratories, separate barriers may be set up to protect them from intrusion.

After climbing onto the ship, the shadows dispersed and began investigating the situation on board.

Some shadowy figures first slipped through the gaps in the containers. Through visual sharing, Guan Tong realized that Shang Yuanzi was right; there were no goods in this dark environment, only many unconscious people.

These people were likely given sleeping pills and were all in a deep sleep. Guan Tong inspected dozens of containers and found that each one contained people, with at least thirty people in the smaller ones.

Based on a rough calculation of the number of containers on the cargo ship, the total number of people inside the containers alone could be as high as several thousand or even tens of thousands.

Even though Guan Tong already knew about the Yuze family and how inhumane Yuze Chun was, the sheer number of them still shocked him.

Moreover, most of these people do not appear to be from Antai State, but are almost all from Sengki State.

In a different era, such a large-scale disappearance would certainly have been publicized. But in this post-apocalyptic world, clearly few people care about such issues anymore.

Even if someone close to you suddenly disappears, you'll only think that they couldn't bear the psychological pressure and found a secluded place to end their own life. Calling the police would seem unnecessary.

This mentality is not uncommon in any country, even in Beixing.

At this moment, the camera, which had infiltrated the cabin's accommodation area, transmitted new images.

Guan Tong noticed that many of the people here were dressed in ninja outfits, which matched his earlier assessment that the Mizawa family had its own private army.

These private soldiers are characterized by their traditional clothing, which clashes with the modern environment. However, rather than being a distinctive feature, it's more accurate to describe it as a form of obedience training.

In addition, he also discovered some researchers wearing white coats. These people appeared to be from all over the world, and were likely genetically engineered individuals recruited by the Yuzawa family from around the globe to participate in the experiments.

What he had seen so far was enough to prove that this ship was indeed the experimental vessel. However, he still wanted to determine the location of the core laboratory and whether the hidden Divine Child, Jun Misawa, was on this ship.

The shadow lines split into even more, moving and searching throughout the ship.

Before long, several of them were blocked by the mental energy barrier. Guan Tong noted down the locations of these key cabins so that he could launch a surprise attack as soon as the operation began.

He then left some of the shadows behind, keeping them hidden on the ship to keep an eye on the situation.

He then handed the evidence he had obtained to Silver Fox, who in turn passed it on to the research lab.

The research lab acted even faster; just over ten minutes after receiving the evidence, the person in charge, Gao Liangwei, personally notified Silver Fox.

The top leadership has officially agreed to dispatch warships and air force to immediately blockade Sakuragi Port and launch an armed attack on the experimental ship. This operation must be carried out simultaneously with the rescue operation on the Black Flag side, aiming to win two wars at the same time.
