Invincible through Touching Corpses

At that moment, the two Body Shaping Realm Martial Artists inside the Rare Level Mechas felt a sense of utter despair.

The two Rare Level Mechas had sustained over 50% damage, and their performance had dropped significantly. At this rate, they wouldn’t last much longer before the mechas were completely destroyed.

Once that happened, no one would be able to stop these ten Third Level Mutated Zombies. The temporary defensive line formed by the Armored Vehicles likely wouldn’t even withstand a single charge from them.

The two Mecha Pilots were already discussing whether to self-destruct their Rare Level Mechas for one last, desperate gamble.

If they could use the mechas’ self-destruction to blast open a gap, they might have a slim chance of breaking through.

After all, they were Body Shaping Realm experts. Even without their mechas, if they fought for their lives, it was possible for each of them to hold off two Third Level Mutated Zombies.

But suddenly, the two of them stopped talking, their eyes staring blankly ahead.

Where an outer defensive line of nearly thirty Mutated Zombies had once stood, they now saw brilliant balls of fire.

In an instant, the heads of these First and Second Level Mutated Zombies were scorched black.

The sight left the two of them in a daze, completely unable to comprehend what had just happened.

But in the next moment, they saw him. On the edge of the core battlefield, a young man had appeared out of nowhere. He was holding a massive firearm and strolling toward them as if taking a walk in a park.

’When did he get here?’ The same question surfaced in both their minds almost simultaneously.

But they quickly discovered that the ten Third Level Mutated Zombies that had been besieging them were now starting to flee, as if they had sensed something terrifying.

"Third Level Mutated Zombies, as expected. Their Perception Power for danger really is sharp!" the two Mecha Pilots heard the young man remark with a sigh. Then, he raised the massive Gauss Rifle in his hands.

BANG!

A single, crisp gunshot rang out. To their horror, they saw a bloody hole appear in the eye of the Third Level Death Claw that had pushed them into several life-threatening situations just moments ago. In the next instant, raging flames erupted from the wound.

’This High Level Shooting Skill is really effective. A pity my proficiency is too low. I can only infuse the bullet with 1% of my Blood Qi Power, so the damage bonus is still too small. Now that they’re on guard, I can’t kill them in one shot anymore,’ Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but sigh.

This was because the other Mutated Zombies, having witnessed their companion’s gruesome fate, immediately covered their eyes and mouths with their hands.

’Of course, if one shot won’t kill them, two will do.’

BANG! BANG!

BANG! BANG!

A rhythmic series of gunshots followed. Each time, two Depleted Uranium Armor-Piercing Rounds struck the same spot. The first shot would break through the Mutated Zombies’ arm defenses, and the second would deliver the finishing blow.

Ten Mutated Zombies fell in quick succession. Even the Armored Corpse with the strongest Defense Power only managed to withstand three shots.

When the two Mecha Pilots snapped back to their senses, they saw ten Third Level Mutated Zombies lying dead on the ground. The young man, however, had vanished once again.

When they turned to look, they found that more than half of the hundred or so Mutated Zombies besieging the convoy were dead, and the rest had already begun to flee in panic.

It all sounds like it took a long time, but in reality, it happened in just a few short seconds.

To rout over a hundred Mutated Zombies in a matter of seconds... Even a true Divine Demon Realm expert would be incapable of such an astonishing kill rate.

What was even more terrifying was that, as they watched the red dots rapidly disappear on their mechas’ Zombie Detectors, it seemed likely that not a single one of the fleeing Mutated Zombies would escape.

But they weren’t the only ones who were stunned.

Nearly everyone who witnessed the scene was left speechless.

Inside the Armored Vehicle, the group of military officers were at a loss for words to express the shock they felt.

"He truly is worthy of being called the number one genius of East Sea Academy!" the Squad Leader who had first identified Lin Xinghai finally exclaimed.

But the others just gave him a speechless look. Could someone with that kind of power still be called a genius? He was clearly a top-tier expert!

"Sir, do you know how he did that?" the battalion commander inside the vehicle asked, unable to contain his curiosity any longer.

The gazes of all the others snapped toward him.

"Gun Technique!" Chen Yushi said, forcing down his own shock. He explained, "His Gun Technique is terrifying. He can make his bullets change their trajectory."

"That’s why he can not only hit a Mutated Zombie’s head with ease, but also precisely strike vital spots like their eyes or mouths, maximizing the bullet’s lethality."

The others were stunned to hear this, and their hearts filled with a sense of yearning.

"Can a Gun Technique like that really exist? Making bullets change trajectory? That sounds more like a Superpower," the battalion commander couldn’t help but say.

"It’s not a Superpower. His most terrifying attribute isn’t his Gun Technique, but his Speed. To be that fast, his Superpower must be Speed-related, and an extremely terrifying one at that," Chen Yushi replied, shaking his head.

"Then does such a miraculous Gun Technique truly exist?" the battalion commander pressed.

The other officers also looked over, their faces full of anticipation.

"Don’t ask me. I’ve never heard of a Gun Technique like that either. But when Lin Xinghai was shooting just now, I could feel a special fluctuation of Perception Power emanating from him. Perhaps he used some kind of Perception Secret Technique."

"Of course, regardless of what it is, it’s definitely his ace in the hole, so don’t get your hopes up. Techniques like that are almost never taught to outsiders. Take my signature move, the Bloodthirsty Thirteen Sabers, for example. I wouldn’t teach it to anyone but my own direct disciples," Chen Yushi said coldly.

Hearing this, the others felt a chill and didn’t dare say anything more.

Just like how many Divine Demon Realm experts have their own trump cards. Who wouldn’t covet such an ace in the hole?

But if the owner was unwilling, who would dare try to force a Divine Demon Realm expert to hand it over?

Chen Yushi glanced at their expressions. After his warning, he added, "Of course, everyone has a different attitude toward their personal techniques. You can ask him yourselves later and see if you can pay a price to have him teach you."

Just then, the group glanced at the Zombie Detector again and discovered that Lin Xinghai had already finished killing all the fleeing Mutated Zombies.

Just as everyone was preparing themselves to welcome and thank Lin Xinghai, they realized he wasn’t coming over directly. Instead, he had quickly returned to an Armored Vehicle.

As the shooting platform on the Armored Vehicle activated, they finally understood that what they had just witnessed was far from the limit of Lin Xinghai’s Gun Technique.
