Invincible through Touching Corpses
Chapter 581 - 578: The Subverted Ji QirongAt this moment, Ji Qirong was already running a simulation of the rescue operation in his mind.
He quickly realized that if the other party cooperated, it was possible for them to break out of the encirclement, even while under siege by a million-strong Zombie horde.
The most critical factor in this was their modified Armored Vehicles.
As long as their Armored Vehicles’ Defense Power was strong enough to withstand the horde’s impact for a short time, and with an artillery barrage clearing a path, their chances of breaking out were very high.
Thinking of this, he was on the verge of ordering the messenger to have the Fifth Armored Division recall the Artillery Camp.
But just then, the reconnaissance captain’s voice sounded again. "Major Ji, they’ve responded."
"They said they don’t need our help and that everything is proceeding according to plan. They claim they can withstand the Zombie horde’s assault."
Ji Qirong found this amusing. "That’s absurd. We’re talking about a horde of 1.3 million Zombies. What could they possibly have to fight that?"
"I’ll admit they’re geniuses, but genius means nothing against a Zombie horde! There’s a limit to human strength. Even if you threw a few Body Shaping Realm experts in there, it would just be a death sentence."
To a certain extent, Ji Qirong’s assessment was quite objective. Even a Body Shaping Realm expert could kill an Ordinary Zombie with a single slap.
You might be able to slap a few hundred or even a few thousand Zombies to death.
But what about tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more?
Sooner or later, you’d be exhausted to death.
Therefore, in Ji Qirong’s opinion, Lin Xinghai and his group had either overestimated their own strength or underestimated the power of a Zombie horde.
After all, the larger the horde, the more terrifying the ’chain reaction’ becomes—especially if Mutated Zombies join the mix.
However, after he said this, the reconnaissance captain didn’t immediately agree. Instead, he hesitated before saying, "Um... Major Ji, they might... perhaps... actually be able to hold them off."
"What?" Ji Qirong asked, wondering if he had misheard.
The reconnaissance captain didn’t say anything more. Instead, he transmitted a video file to him.
Ji Qirong hurriedly opened it and began to watch.
The video was shot by a reconnaissance drone, providing a bird’s-eye view from high above.
As the footage began, four massive Zombie hordes could be seen in front of the mall, chasing the Armored Vehicles ahead of them.
As the four Armored Vehicles finally converged, the four massive hordes merged into one, forming a single, colossal Zombie horde.
’They seem a little too skilled at luring Zombies!’ A strange expression crossed Ji Qirong’s face. In his view, this was just being proficient at suicide.
However, given what the reconnaissance captain had just said, a flicker of curiosity about what would happen next began to grow within him.
As he watched, the four Armored Vehicles, having converged, formed an orderly single-file line and headed for the mall’s main entrance.
At first glance, nothing seemed wrong, but Ji Qirong instantly noticed that their speed was too slow. If they didn’t accelerate, there would definitely be a problem.
After they entered the main gate, they likely wouldn’t have time to close it before the horde behind them crashed into it.
’Idiots, speed up already!’ Ji Qirong broke out in a cold sweat for them as he watched the horde close in on the mall’s entrance.
However, at that moment, the unexpected happened.
First, he heard the dense roar of Heavy Machine Guns. Then, the Zombies right behind the convoy began to fall like rows of wheat being scythed down, wave after wave.
The speed was simply appalling.
The ones able to keep up with the Armored Vehicle convoy were a vanguard of High Level Zombies, and this vanguard numbered at least five or six hundred.
Under normal circumstances, even a full regiment would have to proceed with extreme caution if they encountered five or six hundred High Level Zombies.
But he watched with his own eyes as these five or six hundred High Level Zombies were all killed in just six or seven seconds.
The sight made Ji Qirong gasp. ’How is that possible?’
He knew very well that even if he brought in the entire armored division, it would be impossible to kill five or six hundred High Level Zombies in six or seven seconds.
After all, High Level Zombies were too fast, and their Perception Power for danger was too strong. A soldier with average Gun Technique would have no hope of hitting a Zombie’s head.
What he found even more incredible was that they weren’t relying on a dense web of firepower to kill these High Level Zombies.
The way each High Level Zombie was taken down with a headshot made it look more like the work of Divine Sharpshooters.
But to kill so many Zombies in just a few seconds, you’d need two or three hundred Divine Sharpshooters. How else could it be possible?
Just as his mind was reeling with confusion, the reconnaissance captain, as if reading his thoughts, began to pull the video camera back.
His view gradually widened from the front of the mall to encompass the entire building.
With this new perspective, his eyes were almost instantly drawn to the young man standing on a shooting platform on the roof.
Wielding two guns, their muzzles constantly spitting fire, he made the High Level Zombies at the very front fall in row after row.
Once the vanguard of High Level Zombies was completely wiped out, the fire quickly spread to the main force behind them.
Ji Qirong stared blankly at the scene. In the few moments he was stunned, Lin Xinghai had already killed another two or three thousand Zombies.
’One man, an entire army!’
That was the only thought in Ji Qirong’s mind.
He had never even heard of such a god-like person before.
At this moment, he finally understood why Lin Xinghai was so confident about holding off a terrifying Zombie horde 1.3 million strong.
Given his killing efficiency, if he had enough time, he could probably slaughter this million-strong horde to the last Zombie.
Of course, accomplishing that would require one precondition.
The others had to be capable of holding off the horde from other directions to prevent them from breaking into the mall.
But as soon as this thought occurred to him, he saw the rows upon rows of Combat Robots on the roof.
He could tell with a single glance that there were an estimated 1,000 of them.
With so many Combat Robots, unless a large number of Zombies managed to climb up, it would be impossible for the horde to break through this line of defense.
And with Lin Xinghai’s killing speed, he would never let that happen.
"It seems my perspective was too narrow," Ji Qirong lamented with a sigh.
...
At this time, Ji Qirong wasn’t the only one left in shock.
Yan Feijie and the other new members were also witnessing such a massive Zombie horde for the first time.
To be honest, toward the end, his heart had started to pound with fear.
If he hadn’t seen the calm expressions on the other veteran members’ faces, he would have already started planning his escape route for when the mall was breached.
But that worry vanished completely the moment he got to the mall roof and saw the speed at which Lin Xinghai was slaughtering the Zombies.
"I can’t believe it. My worldview has been turned upside down again!" Yan Feijie muttered to himself with a sigh.
Yes, even though his worldview had been shattered, he was now just feeling emotional about it.
As for emotions like shock, he surprisingly didn’t feel much of it. It was as if he felt that anything happening to Lin Xinghai was perfectly normal.
