Invincible through Touching Corpses

Hearing her daughter’s words, the mother immediately looked up. Her jaw dropped, and her eyes filled with shock.

She saw that above them, the simulated sky projection had been turned off. At some point, the metal dome overhead had opened up, revealing rows of dark openings.

Swarms of Attack Drones flew down from above. Guided by an AI system, they split into formations and rapidly descended upon every street and corner where fierce fighting was taking place.

In addition, steel cables were dropped from above, and one by one, Combat Robots slid down along them.

Their gleaming metallic bodies, large rotary cannons, and the Micro Missiles mounted on their backs all showcased their terrifying combat capabilities.

At the very least, both the mother and everyone else who witnessed this scene instantly felt a sense of relief. No one doubted that this war would be over soon.

And that was indeed the case. Elder Wei had deployed all 100,000 Attack Drones and 20,000 Combat Robots he had kept hidden over the years in one fell swoop.

The number of Combat Robots alone already surpassed the Morgan Conglomerate’s armed personnel, not to mention the military was also involved. The battle quickly became a one-sided affair.

...

Above the Shelter, a 500-man special operations battalion lay in wait, silently concealed within a secret bunker.

Everyone was waiting in silence for the arrival of their crucial mission.

If Lin Xinghai and his group were here, they would have recognized the commander of this special operations battalion at a glance—it was none other than their old acquaintance, Zhang Yue.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yue’s temporary promotion to battalion commander was partly related to Lin Xinghai and his team.

After all, as the liaison to the major Mercenary Corps, the better they performed, the more credit he received.

Suddenly, the wrist-mounted computer in Zhang Yue’s hand vibrated.

His spirits lifted, and he immediately looked down to check the incoming message. Upon seeing the words "Execute Mission," his eyes blazed with a fiery light.

"Full power to the subterranean scanners! Activate the seismic and metal detectors too. The fat sheep has left the pen, don’t lose them," Zhang Yue said with a grave expression.

He knew all too well the importance of this mission. There was absolutely no room for failure.

And so, Zhang Yue led his special operations battalion in pursuit from above, while Gibson and his men inside the drilling vehicle remained completely oblivious. Seeing that they had left the Shelter, they thought they were completely safe.

So they leisurely made their way toward a secret base they had hidden three kilometers away.

This secret base was the one they had spent the most money and resources on over the years. It not only contained numerous pieces of high-tech, sophisticated equipment but was also exceptionally secure. Even an assault force of two or three thousand people couldn’t hope to breach it in a short amount of time.

According to their plan, they would stay at this secret base and, if necessary, command the battle remotely.

If they won, they would naturally return as victors. If they lost, they could still make a safe retreat.

A little over ten minutes later, the drilling vehicle finally changed its direction, angling upward toward the surface.

The moment they changed course, Zhang Yue and his men, who had been monitoring their movements, immediately pinpointed the location of their secret base.

"Let’s go. We’ll head over first and get our ’toys’ ready. Once they’re inside, we’ll spring the trap," Zhang Yue said, a vicious grin spreading across his face.

He had been putting up with that menace Gibson for a long time. Today, he could finally vent his frustration.

The convoy accelerated, quickly stopping on an earthen slope. The 500-man battalion split into two groups. A little over 100 men stayed behind and quickly began unloading heavy weapons from the Armored Vehicles.

If Lin Xinghai and his group were here to see this, they would definitely be green with envy.

There were 100 man-portable missiles alone. Besides those, there were other types of explosives, no less powerful than the missiles, and in considerable quantities.

If the Three Major Mercenary Corps could take these weapons on a mission, they could have blasted the Morgan Conglomerate’s interception teams to kingdom come before they even met.

The 100 men who stayed behind quickly used these heavy weapons to set up an artillery position.

As for Zhang Yue, he continued to lead the rest of the unit forward.

However, they stopped one kilometer from the enemy’s secret base. Although their special operations battalion was equipped with the Shelter’s most advanced technology, including a full suite of counter-surveillance gear, the Morgan Conglomerate was no pushover. Getting any closer would risk exposing their position.

After reaching their destination, they waited quietly.

Soon, the drilling machine carrying Gibson arrived beneath the secret base and drove directly inside.

Apparently, there was a dedicated tunnel leading into the base from below.

Of course, none of that mattered. Once Zhang Yue confirmed the enemy had entered the base, he immediately ordered the rear artillery position to attack.

As for capturing them alive, how could they possibly get them to surrender without beating them into submission first?

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The sound of something tearing through the air passed over their heads. It was the Mountain-Opening Cannons, even more terrifyingly powerful than man-portable missiles.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of deafening explosions erupted. Ten rounds from the Mountain-Opening Cannons completely obliterated the rock formation above the enemy’s secret base, leaving nothing but a massive crater.

At the bottom of the crater, a hard Alloy wall was visible. However, the Alloy wall was now completely caved in and riddled with cracks.

Clearly, even the Morgan Conglomerate’s secret base couldn’t easily withstand such an attack.

When the rear position opened fire, Zhang Yue immediately ordered the main force to advance and close in on the enemy base.

At the same time, he monitored the enemy’s movements.

The Morgan Conglomerate’s forces seemed to have been stunned by the attack. Nearly half a minute passed before armed personnel, accompanied by Combat Robots, charged out of the base.

"Only thirty armed personnel, the rest are Combat Robots. It should just be a probing team," Zhang Yue’s adjutant reported immediately after checking the reconnaissance radar.

"Tsk! Send another three rounds from the Mountain-Opening Cannons. Also, split into four teams as planned and surround the base. Keep a close watch for any unusual activity. We can’t let them escape from right under our noses," Zhang Yue ordered.

When he first arrived, he had already made a rough estimate of the personnel and strength inside the base just from its size. His side held an overwhelming advantage, which was why he spoke with such confidence.

It was like shooting fish in a barrel now. The only tricky part was not harming the "fish" in the process.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As three more Mountain-Opening Cannon rounds exploded, the base’s Alloy wall finally gave way. A massive hole was blasted through one section.

If Zhang Yue’s goal had been to destroy the base, he would only need to fire two more Mountain-Opening Cannon rounds through that hole. The base would instantly become a massive tomb, burying everyone inside.

The people inside realized this as well, and combat teams began pouring out frantically. From this not-so-large base, a surprising force of 30 Mechas and 500 armed personnel emerged. The number of Combat Robots was even greater, totaling as many as 3,000.

But Zhang Yue only gave them a passing glance, paying them no mind. His eyes were fixed on the detector, waiting expectantly for the change he wanted to see.

Soon, his eyes lit up.
