Chapter 21: "It's hard to know how powerful the Claw Knife will be with a charge level of only 389.

```

The concept of kinetic energy greater than 1.8 joules per square centimeter might be unclear to many.

Let's give an example, shall we?

A person with gastroenteritis, who'd held in gas all day, finally couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a loud fart!

In the moment of farting, imagine lighting a lighter placed behind the butt.

The force unleashed in that moment.

would be greater than 1.8 joules per square centimeter.

That is to say, the instant this rule came into effect, all the firearms in the world turned into paper tigers, completely useless.

Chen Yi's brow furrowed as he quickly pulled out his own sniper rifle from his embrace.

Only after confirming it could still be used did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed that this restriction only applied to the existing firearms on the planet; props that were firearms were not affected at all.

His sniper rifle could transform into a Christmas candy cane, which, once transformed, had the ability to see through objects.

The reason he wasn't using it as a cane here was simply because the place was too dirty, and he didn't want to soil his only reliable treasure.

"All firearms have become useless?"

The Tuberculosis Rabbit first froze, then couldn't help but swallow silently, turning to look at the sniper rifle in Chen Yi's hand and muttered, "Doesn't that mean this sniper rifle in our hands is the only firearm in the world that can still be used?"

"Even if it's not the only one, it should be one of the few,"

Chen Yi shook his head. "But what can be certain is that in the future, weapon props that are firearms, due to their range advantage, should be stronger than props of the same level."

"And... once all firearms around the world become ineffective, it will be hard to maintain order."

"The former military, without firearms, will just be ordinary people with better physical fitness and discipline."

"I think I understand the intent of the Snow Sea Project Team now."

"This team intends to completely disrupt the existing order, making every player fight for themselves, like... in a browser game."

"If that's the case, then the next move from the team should be..."

Before Chen Yi could finish speaking, a new notification suddenly exploded in their ears!

Listening to the notification beside their ears,

Chen Yi said the words he hadn't finished earlier in a complex tone,

"...Monsters are attacking."

'Activity Update Announcement!'

'This event is a global-scale event, specially launched for the version update—a brand-new event!'

'Event Name: Extraterrestrial Invader!'

'Bravely pick up the weapons in your hands, and kill the enemies before you!'

'Defeating different monsters will yield different points!'

'Based on the points obtained by players, a global ranking will be carried out!'

'Opening - "Extraterrestrial Invader Event Global Leaderboard"!'

'Additionally, a Points Store is introduced, where players can use the points they've earned to purchase various props or Skill Fragments, as well as exchange for Points.'

'The Snow Sea Project Team, wishing you a pleasant game.'

One has to say, the Snow Sea Project Team rolls out events faster than domestic browser game activities.

The 520 limited-time event hasn't even ended, and the Extraterrestrial Invader event is already upon us.

The next second—

The ground shook and the mountains quaked!!!

They even felt the floor underneath their feet swaying.

Immediately following,

Chen Yi suddenly saw a flat map appear on his personal panel.

In the middle was a little yellow dot, which should be his location.

Nearby were quite a few green dots, likely the locations of other players.

Zooming in on the map and pulling back further, one could see a dense array of red dots.

These red dots, should all be monsters.

```

But...

Chen Yi's complexion was somewhat off, the event had already happened, and it was definitely unavoidable now.

However, his strongest reliance right now was the sniper rifle in his hands.

When used to kill bosses, it was absolutely a godsend!

No matter how high the boss's health was, every shot would inevitably deal true damage amounting to three percent of the opponent's maximum health value!

It could certainly be called a divine weapon!

But when it came to fighting smaller monsters, it was somewhat embarrassing; even the weakest monsters would need about thirty or so shots to be taken down!

And those densely packed red dots seemed to all be smaller monsters.

At that moment, these monsters were gathered outside Yancheng, advancing towards the city, and by the looks of it, they would soon make contact.

After pondering for a brief moment, Chen Yi removed the isolation suit from his body and walked briskly towards the first floor.

"Let's go."

No matter the situation, it was best to make it to the edge of the city first.

While one could naturally gain a measure of safety in the city center... one could also say that there was virtually no harvest at all.

Risk and profit are always proportional.

If you find that your risk and profit are not proportional, then that means... you've been tricked.

After leaving Zhongdeng Square, they found that the law enforcement officers who should have been waiting for them outside the building had disappeared, probably off maintaining order somewhere.

But there was no time to worry about the 3000 Points reward now; they would claim it later.

At that moment, the streets had already devolved into total chaos.

If the version updates of the past four or five months had left some people feeling hopeful, believing that things weren't that serious,

then the two announcements just now had thoroughly convinced everyone of the severity of the situation.

This was an apocalypse.

Chen Yi frowned as he scanned the noisy crowd, mounted the motorbike, and after glancing at the fuel gauge, asked, "How much progress has your Claw Knife Charge reached?"

"389."

"We might need it in a bit."

"Mhm, mhm."

With an air of anticipation, the Tuberculosis Rabbit stuffed the Claw Knife into its embrace and climbed onto the back seat of the motorbike, "I wonder how powerful a Claw Knife with only a 389 Charge progress can be."

As the words fell.

"Boom!!!"

The roaring sound of the throttle suddenly erupted, driving down the street towards the outskirts of the city!

"Ahh!!!"

The panic-stricken scream of the Tuberculosis Rabbit accompanied the constantly flickering scenes in front of them, never ceasing!!

Yi's riding skills were actually very good.

He used to be a professional stunt motorcyclist.

But generally, during travel, it was Yi who would sit at the back, with him driving.

Why?

Because Yi was utterly fearless, and when he drove, his heart was exceptionally calm; he would twist the throttle to the limit and weave through traffic as if threading a needle!

The speed was fast.

But for the Tuberculosis Rabbit sitting in the back, it felt like its heart rate had also risen.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the city, they could see a large portion of people, families in tow, rushing towards the city center.

Clearly, everyone understood that the suburbs of Yancheng would soon face the onslaught of countless monsters!

Staying in the suburbs at this time was no different from waiting for death!

The streets were basically completely blocked.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and lifted the front of the bike, driving over the rooftops of the jammed cars!

These cars had already brought the streets to a standstill, immovable.

In a way, the tops of these cars, linked together, were just like a slightly bumpier smooth road!

Only a small fraction did as they did.

Going against the flow of people.

Carrying various weapons and using various means, they rushed to the outside of the city, ready to face the upcoming battle!
