Invincible through Touching Corpses

The first thing Yan Feijie thought when he saw the scene before him was that the Zombie Detector was broken.

After all, a Spitter might be killed in an instant, but how could a Death Claw—especially one that had already entered a berserk state—die in a flash?

But just as that thought surfaced, he saw a massive crimson flash streak past outside through the firing port.

The Hunter, which had been only a few hundred meters away, was sliced in half as the crimson light passed.

At the same time, the blip representing the Hunter on the Zombie Detector abruptly vanished.

It all happened so fast that it was over before Yan Feijie could even react.

He just stared blankly at the colossal, 10-meter-tall Mecha.

’How is it so fast?’ At that moment, this was the only thought in Yan Feijie’s mind.

Lin Xinghai, however, was somewhat dissatisfied with the maximum Speed his Mecha could currently muster.

After all, his own Speed, when pushed to the limit, could exceed 30,000 points.

This Rare Level Mecha, despite its many modifications, had its Speed cap increased to only 5,000 points. When he used his Time Acceleration Ability, that was only equivalent to unleashing 50,000 points of Speed.

However, once he broke through tomorrow, his own explosive Speed would likely surpass that of this Rare Level Mecha.

’I hope my Legendary Level Mecha can be finished soon,’ Lin Xinghai sighed to himself.

Fortunately, he had aimed for a Legendary Level Mecha from the very beginning. Now, over two months had passed, and according to Little Fatty, the chassis frame had already been built, and they were starting to install the various modules.

However, some special parts and drive joints required at least Third Level Biological Alloy, and Third Level Biological Alloy was equivalent to a Divine Demon Realm-grade material.

This wasn’t something money alone could buy. Even a behemoth like the Hongyu Group had to wait.

Originally, Little Fatty had guaranteed that he could finish building the Legendary Level Mecha by the end of Lin Xinghai’s freshman year.

At the time, Lin Xinghai had thought that was quite fast. After all, based on his previous estimates, he wouldn’t reach the Divine Demon Realm until his sophomore or even junior year at the earliest.

But he never expected that not only would his Cultivation advance quickly, but his various Attributes would also increase at a terrifying rate. Soon, even the Rare Level Mecha would be of little use to him.

These thoughts flashed through Lin Xinghai’s mind, but his actions didn’t pause. After killing the Hunter, he scooped up its body and started heading back.

He had to hold down the fort at the main base in case any other unexpected incidents occurred.

It wasn’t until they watched Lin Xinghai pilot his Rare Level Mecha away that the members of Squad 2 finally snapped out of it. Some sighed in amazement, others were simply stunned, and of course, some, like Yan Feijie, were still dazed.

’No wonder Lin Xinghai dared to make such a plan. With that kind of power, he really can sweep through any place,’ Yan Feijie lamented to himself.

He quickly adjusted his mindset. He knew now that there was no point in comparing himself to Lin Xinghai. What he needed to do was complete his missions better, earn more rewards, and catch up to the second-year students as soon as possible.

...

The incident had been a massive shock to Yan Feijie, but for Lin Xinghai, it was just a trivial matter he dealt with in passing.

The round trip took him less than a minute, and in that time he’d collected the corpses of three Mutated Zombies, earning him over a hundred thousand Huaxia Coins.

With him holding down the fort, everything was smooth sailing. After all, if any "waves" tried to rise, he would instantly slap them back down.

At least for the next 20 minutes, every single one of the 10 Mutated Zombies that appeared was dealt with by Lin Xinghai in under a minute.

By now, deafening roars were erupting from four different directions not far away.

’Not bad, not bad! Once the four squads converge here, the resulting super-massive zombie horde will number around 1.3 million. If we wipe out this entire horde, today’s mission will be pretty much complete.’ Lin Xinghai marveled, looking at the real-time data on his system.

’He loved this kind of high efficiency.’

Of course, anyone else in this situation would probably think he was a madman.

At least, that’s what Ji Qirong was thinking right now.

...

"Are you sure? The zombie horde has reached a scale of 1.3 million?" Ji Qirong asked, his face a mask of disbelief as he listened to the report from the Scout Squad Leader in his earpiece.

A horde of 1.3 million... What did that even mean?

The outpost the Military Department planned to build here in Shakou City was designed to withstand a maximum horde of only one million zombies.

When they were clearing out zombies now, weren’t they always painstakingly cautious? After the entire Armored Division moved in, everyone had to disperse. What were they afraid of?

Wasn’t it the fear that the concentrated scent of too many humans would trigger a massive zombie horde?

After all, once a horde was triggered, trouble would follow. For example, triggering a horde of 100,000 didn’t mean there were truly only that many zombies.

The massive commotion would continuously attract more zombies, and even other Mutated Zombies, to the area.

That’s why, before deploying troops for this cleanup operation, the Command Staff had already given them an assessment: if they accidentally triggered a small horde of fewer than 50,000, they could eliminate it quickly.

But if the horde exceeded 100,000, they would have to make a comprehensive judgment based on the surrounding environment. For instance, if the horde’s size was increasing rapidly due to high zombie density nearby, or if particularly troublesome Mutated Zombies appeared, they would need to retreat.

If the triggered horde exceeded 200,000, they were to retreat immediately and without hesitation.

And now, Ji Qirong’s mouth twitched. The maximum they could handle didn’t even amount to the ’change’ on top of the million-zombie horde.

"Sir, I’ve confirmed the information repeatedly. There’s absolutely no mistake," the Scout Squad Leader replied with certainty, then asked after a slight hesitation, "Um... do we need to provide them with assistance?"

"Do you think there’s anything we could do to help?" Ji Qirong asked in return.

The Scout Squad Leader: "..."

Indeed, facing 1.3 million zombies, it would be useless even if they brought the entire Fifth Armored Division over.

"Alright, use your long-range comms to contact them," Ji Qirong said after a moment of silence. "Tell them we can provide artillery support."

These were the geniuses from East Sea Academy. Even though they were courting death, it would be difficult to answer to the academy if they didn’t help at all.
