Invincible through Touching Corpses

Lin Xinghai killed the Mutated Zombies so quickly that it took him ten seconds at most, from the moment he attacked to the moment he downed the last one.

As a result, the high-end threats on the battlefield were wiped out, but the Abyssal Creatures hadn’t had time to react and were still gathered near the convoy.

Upon his return, Lin Xinghai didn’t hesitate for a second and immediately began slaughtering the Abyssal Creatures.

It was only when he stood on the firing platform, dual-wielding two Heavy Machine Guns, that Chen Yushi and the others truly witnessed just how terrifying Lin Xinghai’s Gun Technique was.

RAT-A-TAT-TAT!

The two Heavy Machine Guns spat fire at an incredibly terrifying rate. The Abyssal Creatures, which had previously been so troublesome for them, now seemed like a completely different species.

Their danger Perception and dodging abilities were utterly useless at this moment. With every Armor-Piercing Bullet fired, the Abyssal Creatures fell in droves, like wheat being reaped.

After all, these two Heavy Machine Guns had been specially modified to have an astonishingly high rate of fire. In Lin Xinghai’s dual-wielding mode, he could fire over 80 rounds per second.

With Lin Xinghai going all out, the more than 2,000 Abyssal Creatures wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.

If they didn’t flee, Lin Xinghai would have killed them all in just over 20 seconds.

However, the biggest difference between Abyssal Creatures and Ordinary Zombies is their higher intelligence.

As Lin Xinghai began his massacre, the Abyssal Creatures quickly reacted and started to scatter in all directions.

But Lin Xinghai had no intention of letting them go. He immediately ordered the Armored Vehicle to chase after the Abyssal Creatures, unleashing a frantic barrage of fire.

Normally, Lin Xinghai wouldn’t bother chasing fleeing Abyssal Creatures, but right now, killing one was worth quadruple the Points. Of course he wasn’t going to pass that up.

Besides, under normal circumstances, a group of Abyssal Creatures would number just over 100 at most. By the time they reacted and tried to flee, he would have already shot most of them down.

But now, with thousands of Abyssal Creatures on the run, it represented a huge windfall of Points. There was no way Lin Xinghai would let that go.

It was no exaggeration to say that after Lin Xinghai entered the fray, everyone else—the squad that had requested aid and the two other rescue teams that had responded to the flare—became mere background characters.

They could only watch as Lin Xinghai completely turned the tide of battle in less than a minute.

The scene left everyone in a daze, and Chen Yushi, a Divine Demon Realm expert, was no exception.

At this moment, he even began to question his previous beliefs. ’Maybe technology, especially concerning Firearms, is worth exploring more deeply,’ he thought.

Of course, regardless of what the others were thinking, Lin Xinghai and the members of the Xinghai Squad were extremely pleased and delighted.

They couldn’t help it. Such a huge influx of Points was almost equivalent to completing four or five Third Level Tasks. More importantly, it had taken so little time. For them, this kind of emergency rescue mission was an absolute bargain.

"Boss, we found Blood Bags! We’ve only just checked over 100 corpses and already found two. The ratio of Blood Bags in this batch of Abyssal Creatures is really high, almost 50:1! We might get over 40 Blood Bags this time!" Little Fatty exclaimed, running over excitedly as soon as Lin Xinghai returned from the chase.

Hearing Little Fatty’s report, Lin Xinghai was slightly surprised, but his expression quickly returned to normal.

"These Abyssal Creatures probably chased them all the way from the depths of the green toxic fog, so it’s normal for the Blood Bag ratio to be higher. I just wonder what the peak ratio will be as these Abyssal Creatures spread to the outer areas," Lin Xinghai said. Though initially pleased, he quickly calmed down.

’A 50:1 ratio might be great for others, but for me, it still feels a little low,’ Lin Xinghai thought.

’After all, a group of Abyssal Creatures is usually just over 100 strong. Killing a whole group would only yield about two Blood Bags, which isn’t even enough for my own Cultivation, let alone supplying the entire squad.’

Of course, a low ratio didn’t necessarily mean a small harvest. For instance, since they had killed enough Abyssal Creatures this time, the number of Blood Bags they’d collect wouldn’t be small.

While the Xinghai Squad and their modified Combat Robots were quickly inspecting the corpses of the Abyssal Creatures, the other three teams naturally gathered.

Without exception, the members of these three teams wore complex expressions of amazement, incredulity, and disbelief.

The rescue team from the Military Department was a given. Their overall strength was weaker, so they could only provide fire support from a distance. Other than marveling at Lin Xinghai’s power, they didn’t have many other thoughts.

But the other university team had a completely different mindset.

This was a top team from Capital University. Their captain, Xiang Jing, while not yet in the top 10 on the Points leaderboard, was still ranked in the top 50. It was no exaggeration to call him a peerless prodigy.

But now, after witnessing Lin Xinghai’s performance in this battle, his confidence had taken a massive blow, and he was even on the verge of falling into self-doubt.

After all, Lin Xinghai was just a freshman, yet he was already this capable. The shock was even more intense than hearing that a student had broken through to the Divine Demon Realm.

Of course, regardless of what Xiang Jing was thinking, when he faced Lin Xinghai, all his complex emotions boiled down to a single sentence: "You truly live up to your name as the top genius of East Sea Academy. I’m impressed."

"You flatter me. I was only able to achieve this because my Gun Technique is decent," Lin Xinghai replied modestly.

Just then, the convoy that had sent the distress signal drove over after administering basic first aid to their wounded.

"Hello everyone. I’m Ge Zhang, the commander of this escort battalion. Thank you all so much for coming to our rescue. If not for your timely arrival, the Military Department would have suffered a tremendous loss," Ge Zhang said, giving everyone a military salute.

The "tremendous loss" he mentioned was, of course, a reference to Chen Yushi, the Divine Demon Realm expert.

Everyone immediately returned the salute, and one by one, they replied that it was what they were supposed to do.

After that, Ge Zhang addressed Lin Xinghai individually. "Chen Yushi is severely injured and can’t come out to meet you, but he asked me to pass on a message: ’I owe you a debt of gratitude for this, Lin. If you ever run into trouble in the future, you can come directly to me.’"

Hearing Ge Zhang’s words, everyone else couldn’t help but show a trace of envy on their faces. A favor from a Divine Demon Realm expert! That was no joke; it was something money couldn’t buy.

Of course, they were envious, but they also knew that Lin Xinghai had single-handedly saved the escort convoy. They really hadn’t done much, so they wouldn’t dare to dream of forging a connection with a Divine Demon Realm expert.
