Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 582 - 579: Lacking Guidance

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A dense volley of gunfire erupted. Gripping a Heavy Machine Gun in each hand, Lin Xinghai constantly made minute adjustments to the muzzles, ensuring the bullets he fired precisely struck one zombie head after another.

However, as the main force of the zombie horde arrived, he alone couldn’t possibly hold back all of them. Soon, the zombies rushed to the base of the shopping mall and began rapidly climbing the walls.

Of course, by this time, the rest of the Xinghai Squad were already in position and began opening fire on the zombies below.

In truth, even with everyone firing, they still couldn’t stop all the zombies. But that was fine. Whenever they felt like they were about to be overwhelmed, all they had to do was take out a Hand Cannon and fire a single shot into the dense horde below to greatly reduce the pressure.

In fact, it wasn’t just the Xinghai Squad; even an ordinary team with enough ammunition and the support of Hand Cannons wouldn’t be so easily overrun.

Arguably, the greatest threat was the High Level Zombies, but they were Lin Xinghai’s priority targets. They hardly even had a chance to climb the wall. Under these circumstances, the Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artists of the Xinghai Squad naturally felt no pressure.

Yan Feijie fired two quick shots, killing two zombies that were about to climb over. He then casually fired his Hand Cannon downward. After ensuring their temporary safety, his gaze couldn’t help but drift back toward Lin Xinghai’s position.

It wasn’t just Yan Feijie. The other members of the Xinghai Squad would also sneak glances at Lin Xinghai, who had his firepower fully unleashed, whenever they had a spare moment.

Although they had seen how efficiently Lin Xinghai could kill zombies before, back then he was only using a Tearing Rifle. Compared to the mobile turret Little Fatty had specially set up for him now, his previous performance paled in comparison.

The Gun Technique Lin Xinghai displayed truly shattered everyone’s understanding again and again.

After careful observation, Yan Feijie now had a rough idea of the two Heavy Machine Guns’ rate of fire: over 80 rounds per second. Under these conditions, he truly had no idea how Lin Xinghai was managing to aim.

Of course, his confusion didn’t lessen his amazement in the slightest.

His astonishment reached its peak, especially when he calculated that while dual-wielding the guns, Lin Xinghai could kill nearly 5,000 zombies in a single minute.

’After all, 5,000 zombies a minute means 300,000 an hour. Theoretically, this massive horde of 1.3 million zombies would only last four and a half hours against him.’

’How utterly terrifying!’

That was the only phrase that surfaced in Yan Feijie’s mind.

"Everyone, focus on your shooting! This is about your paychecks!" Little Fatty’s shout pulled everyone’s attention back to the fight.

By now, everyone’s curiosity had been satisfied. After hearing Little Fatty’s reminder, they all began to seriously focus on killing the zombies in front of them.

Yan Feijie took a deep breath and began firing with all his might.

The Xinghai Squad’s system was quite fair and transparent. Everyone wore a battlefield recorder. After the battle, everything—how many zombies they killed, the Level of the zombies, how much ammunition they used, and so on—could be checked one by one.

’If I want to earn a larger reward, I need to get serious now.’

Although Yan Feijie rarely used Firearms in combat, it didn’t mean his Gun Technique was poor. Quite the opposite, in fact. Due to his natural talent, his Gun Technique was no worse than some battlefield veterans, despite his lack of practice.

Whether it was an Ordinary Zombie or an Intermediate Zombie, as long as it was within 50 meters, he could hit it every time. And his firing speed wasn’t slow, either.

He could kill an Ordinary Zombie in one second. Even against an Intermediate Zombie, which was more agile and could dodge bullets, he could take one down within two seconds.

However, after he had killed a dozen or so zombies and casually glanced at Sun Tianbo beside him, he froze.

Not only was the other man also hitting every shot, but his firing efficiency was fully twice as fast as his own.

He remembered that Sun Tianbo’s strength was only considered average in their class, but he never expected his Gun Technique to be this good.

He could only marvel that everyone had their own strengths.

However, when he turned his head to look at the other members, that thought instantly vanished, replaced by sheer horror.

Because everyone else—every single one of them—had better Gun Technique than he did.

’How is this possible!?’ he thought in disbelief. ’If one or two of them had better Gun Technique, that would be one thing; after all, there are always exceptionally talented people.’

But to discover that his Gun Technique was at the very bottom of the pack... he simply couldn’t believe it.

...

Meanwhile, after seeing that everyone had settled into their shooting rhythm, Lin Xinghai enveloped the entire battlefield with his Perception Power. He quickly made a rough estimate of the team’s firing speed.

’Excluding myself, the rest of them can kill around 2,000 zombies per minute, as long as there are no High Level Zombies to interfere.’

’Adding in my own kills, we can take down 7,000 zombies per minute, which is 420,000 per hour. If things go smoothly, we should be able to clear out this 1.3-million-strong horde in just about three hours.’

"Not bad. We’ll finish the mission faster than I thought. Maybe we can even attract another horde after this," Lin Xinghai muttered to himself as he controlled the mobile turret, slowly moving it along the rails in another direction.

He had already killed most of the High Level Zombies directly in front of him, so it was time to support the other flanks. Of course, while providing support, it was also necessary to give some pointers on their Gun Technique.

Take Yan Feijie, for example, who currently looked completely bewildered. Lin Xinghai felt that if he didn’t offer some guidance, this top genius might just shut down completely by the end of the mission.

...

"Yan Feijie, when you shoot, you’re always trying to be perfect, aiming for the exact center of the zombie’s forehead. I’d encourage that if you were a beginner, but at your current level of Gun Technique, the most important thing is to develop your feel for it."

"If you want to improve your Gun Technique, you need to let go of your inhibitions. Just shoot freely and practice building that feel. It doesn’t matter if you miss." Lin Xinghai’s voice reached Yan Feijie’s ears just as he was beginning to fall into self-doubt.

The words struck him like a resounding gong, and Yan Feijie instantly understood where his problem lay.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say thank you, but the mobile turret had already passed his position and was heading toward Sun Tianbo.

Lin Xinghai continued, "Old Sun, I haven’t seen you in two weeks, and your Gun Technique has improved a lot! But if you want to take your current Gun Technique to the next level, you need to work on two things. First, improve your physical fitness to increase your reaction Speed. Second, increase your proficiency with the Investigation Technique."

Yan Feijie watched, marveling, as Lin Xinghai multitasked—gunning down High Level Zombies while simultaneously finding time to give everyone pointers on their Gun Technique. And in that moment, he finally understood the real gap between himself and the others.

What he lacked was Lin Xinghai’s guidance!
