Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chen Yushi, overhearing the discussion, couldn’t help but correct them. "No, the reason I said he’s a spendthrift is because the main bodies of these two Armored Vehicles are made entirely of Second Level Biological Alloy. That’s enough Biological Alloy to build two Rare Level Mechas."

Instantly, everyone in the vehicle fell silent. Without exception, the same thought flashed through their minds: ’What a true spendthrift!’

It made sense. Using enough resources for two Rare Level Mechas to build just two Armored Vehicles—if that wasn’t being a spendthrift, what was?

After all, these Armored Vehicles were primarily for transportation. No matter how much they were modified, their Attack Power could never compare to a Rare Level Mecha. Perhaps the only comparable aspect was their Defense Power, since they were made from the same Alloy.

However, as this thought occurred to them, they all froze, and then looks of ecstatic joy appeared on their faces.

"It might be a little wasteful, but I think there are merits to doing it this way."

"Yeah! With two Armored Vehicles that have such strong Defense Power, breaking out of a siege will be much easier."

"That’s right! And look how big those two Armored Vehicles are. If we squeeze in, fitting two or three hundred people wouldn’t be a problem. They’re absolutely perfect vehicles for rescue missions."

Instantly, everyone’s tune changed.

After all, his wastefulness had nothing to do with them, but the benefits they stood to gain were very real.

Chen Yushi glanced at the others but didn’t say anything this time.

’Who wants to die if they can live?’

Just as everyone was watching the two Armored Vehicles on the screen rushing over at lightning speed, full of anticipation, they suddenly saw the roof of the lead vehicle open and a person stand right up on top of it.

’What is he trying to do?’

This thought surfaced in everyone’s mind without exception.

The two Armored Vehicles were still some distance away. Even if the person inside wanted to get out and fight, it wouldn’t be too late to do so after reaching the battlefield!

Just as they were wondering about this, the person standing on the roof seemed to vanish into thin air. In the blink of an eye, they could no longer see any sign of him.

"Is there a problem with the equipment?" the battalion commander inside the vehicle asked the soldier in charge of reconnaissance.

However, before the soldier could speak, everyone in the vehicle heard Chen Yushi’s incredulous gasp.

"How can his Speed be so fast!"

In that instant, only he knew that Lin Xinghai hadn’t vanished into thin air, nor was the equipment malfunctioning. The man’s Speed was simply too fast for the others in the vehicle to track his movements.

But his own Perception Power had long since spread out, allowing him to clearly sense Lin Xinghai’s every move.

When Lin Xinghai unleashed his full power, Chen Yushi was horrified to discover that this young man—who had left him with an impression of arrogance—could actually burst forth with a Speed exceeding 40,000 points.

Even he, an expert at the Divine Demon Realm Middle Stage, couldn’t possibly match that kind of Speed.

It was only at this moment that Chen Yushi understood. The young man wasn’t arrogant at all; he truly had the power to eliminate all the Mutated Zombies on the field.

After all, with such overwhelmingly crushing Speed, even if his Defense Power and Attack Power were lacking, he could easily decapitate first and second-level Mutated Zombies just by using a weapon like a Vibrating Blade.

After all, first and second-level Mutated Zombies were only equivalent to the Blood Qi Realm and Marrow Tempering Realm. Both of these are foundational stages, so they couldn’t just ignore the cuts from a high-tech melee weapon like a Vibrating Blade.

As long as he took care of the first and second-level Mutated Zombies, which were the most numerous, it wouldn’t matter even if Lin Xinghai couldn’t handle the Third Level Mutated Zombies. There were too few of them to stop the squad from breaking through.

At that moment, countless thoughts raced through Chen Yushi’s mind.

However, when he focused his attention back on Lin Xinghai, he discovered that the young man’s actions were completely different from what he had expected.

Although the man had a spear slung across his back, he was currently holding a firearm.

’What is he planning to do?’ The thought flashed through Chen Yushi’s mind.

Based on his years of experience fighting Mutated Zombies, he knew that while many thermal weapons could harm them, this absolutely did not include any type of firearm.

This was true even though he could see that Lin Xinghai was holding a third-generation Gauss Rifle.

After all, he had used one of those things before. Given the reaction speed of these Mutated Zombies, an ordinary person would have to get within five meters to have any hope of hitting them. Otherwise, the Mutated Zombies could dodge vital spots, or even evade the bullet entirely, while it was in flight.

But if you were already within five meters, why bother using a firearm? He could kill these first and second-level Mutated Zombies with a single slap.

And against Third Level Mutated Zombies, the Gauss Rifle’s power was insufficient; it would take at least three or four shots to kill one.

He, on the other hand, could cleave off a Third Level Mutated Zombie’s head with a single strike of his blade.

Therefore, in Chen Yushi’s view, thermal weapons like firearms were bound to be phased out sooner or later as the Mutated Zombies from the Abyssal Plane grew stronger and stronger.

But in the next moment, this belief was utterly and completely shattered.

As he watched, Lin Xinghai casually pulled the trigger, and bullets rained down.

Yet every time Lin Xinghai fired a shot, no matter how the targeted Mutated Zombie tried to dodge or block, the Depleted Uranium Armor-Piercing Round that shot from the barrel would adjust its trajectory as if it were precision-guided, unerringly striking its head.

The immense kinetic energy of the Depleted Uranium Armor-Piercing Round easily tore through the keratinous layer of their skin, burrowed into their skulls, and then erupted in a temperature of over 6,000 degrees, burning them to a crisp from the inside out.

In just one second, more than a dozen first and second-level Mutated Zombies on the outermost edge of the battlefield had fallen dead. The scene was like reaping wheat; a whole row was cut down in an instant.

This scene left Chen Yushi in a bit of a daze. He started to wonder if his Perception Power was failing him. It was as if those that fell were not Mutated Zombies, but just ordinary zombies.

However, regardless of what Chen Yushi was thinking, Lin Xinghai’s movements didn’t pause for a second. He charged into the battlefield with absolute Speed, and wherever he passed, not a single Mutated Zombie was left standing.

In almost the blink of an eye, Lin Xinghai charged from the periphery into the core of the battlefield.

There, 10 Third Level Mutated Zombies were bombarding two Rare Level Mechas, forcing them to retreat again and again.

The surfaces of the Mechas were already pitted and dented. Many of their outer armor plates had even been shattered, exposing the precise components within. It was clear they were on the verge of collapse.
