Reborn Before the Apocalypse: Hoarding Billions of Resources

A super-widespread meteor shower descended upon Blue Star, reshuffling existing scientific laws. Various monsters arrived on Earth with the black rain, alongside the unknown black domains formed af...

Chapter 78 Crystal Core Flamethrower

Corpses were strewn everywhere in the Junyuefu residential community.

Many survivors were unaware of when the monsters would return, and some were still bartering when they saw the yellow sand carrying hordes of monsters charging towards them.

In a panic, they ran to Junyue Mansion, only to find that there were even more monsters there, almost the same number as those attacking a full-fledged base.

It's like they have a grudge against this neighborhood; at least there are other places to hide.

Monsters filled the Junyue Mansion, and dozens of level-three monsters hovered in the sky, as if they would not give up until they took it over.

The superhumans, running and crying, unleashed their powers, only to be easily dodged by the monster. The long-necked monster was the first to wrap its arms around their necks, its foul-smelling tongue licking their cheeks.

After admiring their pained and desperate expressions, I bit off their eyeballs.

Others unleashed sonic attacks, hypnosis, and acid. These superhumans, who just the day before thought their abilities surpassed those of ordinary people and were about to become the elite in the apocalypse, are now being thoroughly humiliated by the monsters.

Gu Mingyue hadn't expected so many monsters to attack this place. They were practically treating it like a small base with thousands of people, and the sheer number of them was completely illogical.

He quickly had Xinghe bring out ten more barrels of diesel fuel and give them to Guan Hongtao to refuel the flamethrower.

She went to room 1701 and gathered all the pets over.

The three pregnant golden hamsters at home gave birth three days ago, and now there are 34 more baby golden hamsters. They have sparse fur and are a size smaller than the adult golden hamsters, but they have all completed their mutations and are growing fast because they are fed crystal cores every day.

Two of them are speed variants and one is a water variant.

At this time, it was the time of the monster invasion, and Gu Mingyue did not have the means to give them a proper confinement period. She simply fed each of them two crystal cores as nutrients and let them join the battle to fight alongside the members of the base.

Except for two useless chinchillas, everything else in the house joined the battle.

The monsters outside learn very quickly.

They discovered a group of strange beings in the room spewing out streams of fire. Instead of rushing through the window, they flew to the vicinity of the window, deliberately enticing the people inside to breathe fire.

They quickly discovered the pattern: the fire dragon in the room wasn't spewing fire continuously.

After the fire dragons have spewed fire more than twenty times, the people guarding the window will switch positions, and that is the best time to attack.

Gu Mingyue had obviously noticed this problem as well.

So they found Guan Hongtao and asked him to quickly design a weapon that didn't require replacing the flamethrower box, preferably with the flamethrower installed directly in the window, and with the flames burning for a longer time.

It's best to add something like asphalt, sugar, or oil to make the fire harder to extinguish.

These monsters have been lurking here all night.

Everyone has limited energy. Wei Jianguo, who is older, and Guan Yue and Shen Ming, who are younger, are already exhausted. However, the monsters circling in the sky have no intention of leaving.

Under Gu Mingyue's kind encouragement, Guan Hongtao, despite immense pressure, finally developed a flamethrower and a sticky bomb that used crystal cores as an energy source.

Two crystal nuclei are pressurized and heated and rubbed together in a sealed container. The resulting energy gas can power a day's worth of flames.

The improved flamethrower still has a rough exterior, consisting of a thick, round tube that is thicker in the middle and thinner at both ends. It also has a retractable tripod at the bottom of the tube, which can be used for fixed or mobile purposes. The device is small and lightweight, and even children can easily handle it.

After a night of hard work, Gu Mingyue's face was still bright and beautiful, but her clothes were covered in filth.

Seeing that a major issue had been resolved, he finally took out a wet wipe and cleaned his hands.

Then he excitedly patted Guan Hongtao on the shoulder.

"Not bad, Lao Guan. When I put pressure on you, you really come up with something great."

He was also given a bottle of milk, a bottle of peanut milk, and two packets of instant noodles.

Guan Hongtao breathed a sigh of relief, happily accepted the two bottles of drinks, and handed the milk to his daughter. Milk that hasn't expired is so precious these days!

I'll put the other bottle away and wait for my daughter to have some when she craves it.

Seeing his daughter enjoying her milk, his dark lower eyelids instantly curved into a smile, and he quickly replied.

"It's good that the boss reminded me. If you hadn't said that these crystal cores could be used in weapons, I wouldn't have been able to research them."

Unexpectedly, this rough-looking father actually doted on his daughter. Seeing this, Gu Mingyue left a few more pieces of candy for the little girl.

"Alright, stop praising each other. Take your daughter to bed. Now it's time for our counterattack."

Gu Mingyue curled her lips as she looked at the swarming monsters outside.

Guan Hongtao's crystal core flamethrower was quickly put to use by everyone. With the flamethrower, the broken windows and doors were quickly replaced with steel plates.

They kept spewing fire and repairing things along the way, and soon the monster was forced to the first floor by everyone's combined efforts.

Finally, once the unit door was closed, Unit 4 instantly became as solid as an iron barrel.

Finally, everyone sat back to back together, and had a chance to catch their breath.

After absorbing a crystal core and regaining some strength, Su Xiaoyu began to accelerate the growth of plants. She immediately gave three ripe tomatoes to Gu Mingyue.

"Boss... I'm so grateful to you for everything this night. Please give me some, ahhh no, I'll give it to you."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing her halting words.

Su Xiaoyu's face instantly turned red. She stretched her hands towards Gu Mingyue, lowered her head, and dared not look at her. "Please have some tomatoes."

A smile bloomed on Gu Mingyue's slightly tired face as she looked at Su Xiaoyu, took a tomato from her hand, wiped it, and took a bite. The sweet and sour juice immediately filled her mouth.

"Mmm, it's very sweet. You can eat the rest yourself. You worked hard last night too."
