The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 364 - 357: Pulse Bomb

Bullets make a sound when they fly, and if the distance is not too far, you can definitely hear them.

The sound of a bullet is a whoosh, which actually sounds quite like those old movies.

Then there’s the noise when mortar shells land nearby—if you hear a whistling sound trailing off, the shell is bound to land close by.

The closer the distance, the louder the sound.

After only a few shots, Gao Yuan had to run with Ashraf, and then the enemy’s mortars would surely come over.

But this time it was different, just as Gao Yuan and Ashraf had dodged behind a sand dune, Ashraf didn’t lie down leisurely as he had before.

Like he was on fire or chased by hornets stinging him, Ashraf had just sat down and before he could settle in, he suddenly jumped up, let out a loud shout, and bolted.

Now, without needing Li Yang to translate, Gao Yuan could understand what Ashraf was yelling, as Ashraf had already repeated the same phrase many times.

Run.

Gao Yuan ran for it because he had already heard that ominous whistling sound.

Whether he could outrun it was unknown, but he had to run because if he stood still, the endless mortar shells would just keep exploding around him.

Gao Yuan grabbed Ashraf from behind and hoisted him up, and by that time the shell had already landed behind them.

After running forward while carrying Ashraf for a distance, Gao Yuan stopped, and as he put Ashraf down, Ashraf kept shouting loudly.

"Ol’Gun said the enemy must have drones for surveillance; the artillery is coming in too fast, you’ve been targeted." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Gao Yuan asked urgently, "What should we do?"

"Run, don’t stop, prevent the mortars from locking onto your position in time to fire."

Gao Yuan was ready to run again, but then he thought something wasn’t right; if he really ran at full speed, wouldn’t his abilities be discovered by the enemy?

"I still have to run at full speed."

"Survival is paramount, everything else is secondary."

Ashraf tugged at Gao Yuan again, but this time he didn’t run himself. Instead, he spread his arms, ready to be carried by Gao Yuan.

Honestly, despite the urgency, it was indeed a bit awkward.

Ashraf was already out of breath; the distance they had run was not short.

Gao Yuan shrugged his shoulders, no choice but to carry and run; although carrying a man—and truth be told, the man didn’t smell good—it wasn’t the time to be fastidious during a battle.

So Gao Yuan picked up Ashraf and started to sprint through the desert at a speed that wouldn’t exceed the limits of an ordinary person.

To Gao Yuan it was a walk in the park, but to a normal person it was running at top speed. At this pace, unless the mortar operators anticipated their movements by firing ahead, they couldn’t possibly hit them. But if they did fire ahead, Gao Yuan kept changing direction randomly.

The enemy handled and coordinated their weapons well: encircle and support, outer perimeter watch, aerial reconnaissance, infantry squads ambushing, heavy fire focus attack—essentially, a high-level combat scenario had it all.

This battle was really not easy to fight. Gao Yuan had brute strength, but in this normal level of combat, his superhuman abilities basically had no effect.

It wasn’t completely useless, but it wasn’t decisive.

Maybe they just hadn’t found the right method yet.

Gao Yuan carried Ashraf for a while, then stopped and began to look up at the sky.

He couldn’t see anything through the night-vision goggles; perhaps thermal imaging might reveal the heat-emitting drone, but the problem was that Gao Yuan’s thermal imager had just been destroyed.

"Damn it, are we out of options?"

As Gao Yuan ran, he didn’t forget to ask Li Yang if there was any way to deal with the situation, then he finally remembered that in each person’s ammunition, there seemed to be something specifically prepared for this kind of scenario.

"Wait, we have electromagnetic pulse grenades!"

Gao Yuan stopped, then said through the walkie-talkie, "Why didn’t you remind me? I remember during the briefing on the equipment, you specifically mentioned that we have electromagnetic pulse grenades that are effective against all systems operable by radio."

Li Yang urgently said, "Yes, we all have them, you too, but don’t forget, the electromagnetic pulse grenade has a range of two kilometers. Once you use it, we don’t know if the enemy’s drone will be affected, but your walkie-talkie will surely become inoperable, your night-vision goggles as well. Do you have a protective case? If not, it’s better not to use it."

Gao Yuan thought about it; using an electromagnetic pulse grenade would indeed be a way to inflict a thousand damage to the enemy at the cost of harming ourselves eight hundred. In any case, his night-vision device and walkie-talkie were definitely going to be disabled, and possibly permanently damaged.

Hmm, the dual-mode handheld night-vision goggles that broke just now cost 1.2 million. Helmet-mounted night-vision goggles are cheaper, around 100,000, and this walkie-talkie isn’t high-tech, around 5,000.

War is just that expensive, but now money doesn’t matter anyway, and since the bulk of the loss has occurred, why care about this little bit of money left?

Gao Yuan fumbled in his grenade pouch for a while but couldn’t find his electromagnetic pulse grenade, then he remembered those special grenades were placed in a separate compartment of his backpack.

Confused, really confused. In a rush, many things become haphazard.

Stun grenades, also known as flashbangs, and smoke grenades, as well as incendiary smoke grenades, are specifically used to disrupt thermal imaging, creating heat-emitting smoke that prevents thermal imaging from detecting for a short period. And then, there is the electromagnetic pulse grenade.

Shenzhou always has a good stock of toys, just not willing to flaunt them, that’s the truth.

Gao Yuan took out a white grenade, pulled the pin, then stopped to think and said, "I’m going to throw the pulse grenade, do you have anything else to say? Anything to tell Ol’Gun, huh?"

Li Yang said urgently, "If you can run, just run. If you use it, you’ll completely lose contact. Better not use it, otherwise even Xinghe won’t be able to reach you. I’m saying—"

Gao Yuan threw the electromagnetic pulse grenade with all his might.

"I knew you had nothing else to say. I’ve thrown it. Wait until I save... wait until Ol’Gun and I save you all."

"Shit, I was telling you where..."

There was no sound, no flash, but after a crackling noise from the walkie-talkie, there was no further sound, and Gao Yuan’s night-vision goggles flickered, turning the once bright world into total darkness.

An electromagnetic pulse grenade is that domineering. Without any protective measures against pulses, all electronic devices are instantly doomed.

Gao Yuan lifted his night-vision goggles and saw that the sky was getting brighter, bright enough to clearly see the faces of people nearby.

Dawn was imminent.

Gao Yuan looked at Ashraf and said, "Now we don’t need to worry about the drone, and us... um, now I completely don’t understand, and to be honest, I also don’t know what to do."

Just then, Gao Yuan heard a muffled thud. Ashraf quickly ran over, picked up something, and shouted loudly twice. Gao Yuan went over to see, and indeed, the drone had fallen down.

Taking the drone from Ashraf, Gao Yuan couldn’t help but say, "Damn, I guessed it was DJI!"
