Invincible through Touching Corpses

A massive zombie horde, so dense it stretched for several city blocks, was continuously assaulting the shopping mall trapped in its center.

Anyone seeing this would assume the mall could be overrun at any moment. But in truth, with Lin Xinghai presiding over the defense, the horde’s assault barely made a ripple.

After all, there were only two real dangers within the zombie horde.

The first, of course, were the Mutated Zombies commanding the horde. Whether it was the powerful combat types like Death Claws, Giant Arms, and Armored Corpses, or the support types like Spitters, Blood Worms, and Spray Zombies, they all could cause immense trouble for the defenders.

However, in the process of luring the horde, Lin Xinghai had already killed over thirteen Mutated Zombies, nipping this first danger in the bud.

As for the second danger within the horde, it was the High Level Zombies.

After all, the sharp claws of High Level Zombies were extremely formidable, capable of scratching even special alloys. Even a Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artist would be in danger if surrounded by them.

However, this problem was largely nonexistent since Lin Xinghai had prioritized killing High Level Zombies. At least ninety-nine percent of them had no way of climbing to the mall’s rooftop.

As for the few scattered High Level Zombies that were left, the others weren’t slouches either and could deal with them on their own.

Thus, the shopping mall was like an unyielding reef; no matter how the zombie horde crashed against it, it stood firm.

In fact, as Lin Xinghai continuously offered pointers, everyone’s Gun Technique improved, and the defense became easier and easier for them.

「Soon, half an hour had passed.」

In that half an hour, the Xinghai Squad had killed over 200,000 Zombies.

The Zombie corpses piled up like a small mountain below. The bottom three floors of the five-story shopping mall were now completely buried under the bodies.

If they didn’t do something, the pile of corpses would likely bury the entire mall in less than half an hour, allowing the horde to pour in unopposed.

"Alright, it’s about time we got the Combat Robots moving. Have them deal with the bodies!" Lin Xinghai said to Little Fatty, who was at his side.

"You got it!" Little Fatty replied, immediately starting to work on the central control system.

And now, the 1,000 Combat Robots finally began to serve their true purpose.

The Combat Robots quickly descended to the first floor and opened the sealed doors. Since the exteriors were blocked by piles of Zombie corpses, there was no need to worry about the horde rushing in, even with the doors open.

The robots then dragged the Zombie corpses inside, extracted the Elemental Crystals with maximum efficiency, and tossed the bodies into temporarily installed giant incinerators.

It was a streamlined process: extract the Elemental Crystals, then destroy the evidence.

"Boss, all set," Little Fatty reported. "The 1,000 Combat Robots are working simultaneously. They can process up to 10,000 corpses per minute, but I throttled them a bit so their processing speed matches our kill rate."

"Excellent," Lin Xinghai nodded. "The equipment you’ve provided will be counted toward your contribution."

With the equipment Little Fatty had provided, their rate of acquiring Elemental Crystals would increase two- or threefold, so it was only natural to credit him for his contribution.

"Hehe, then I’ll gladly accept," Little Fatty said, rubbing his hands together excitedly. While he wasn’t short on Huaxia Coins, he definitely needed the Credit Points.

...

Ji Qirong had been watching the events at the shopping mall via video feed for a full half hour.

"Sigh, I still feel like I’m dreaming." Ji Qirong rubbed his eyes, then opened his wrist-mounted computer and replied to the messages from his colleagues.

With the Xinghai Squad causing such a massive stir, it was impossible for the Fifth Armored Division not to notice. They immediately contacted Ji Qirong to ask what was happening in Area 15.

Ji Qirong didn’t bother with a lengthy explanation. He simply sent them the video feed and let them be as dumbfounded as he was.

Of course, it wasn’t just the military. The other squads from East Sea Academy were also on high alert. It didn’t take long for them to notice the disturbance as well, and suspecting a massive zombie horde, they immediately contacted Ji Qirong.

These squads received the video, and every last one of them was left in stunned silence.

"Sir," the adjutant beside Ji Qirong spoke up, "at this rate, we’ll have all the Zombies in the twenty sectors cleared out soon. I think we should report to the Shelter ahead of schedule so they can prepare to build the outpost."

"Right! I can’t believe I almost forgot something so important," Ji Qirong said, slapping his forehead.

Although the Xinghai Squad’s extermination was still in progress, at their current kill rate, wiping out the 1.3 million Zombies would only take a few more hours.

In that case, they could indeed have the Shelter start mobilizing. After all, preparations would normally take a day or two.

In those one or two days, the Fifth Armored Division would have more than enough time to mop up the remaining scattered Zombies.

He rushed to the communications team and had them activate the high-power, long-range Communication Device to send word to the Shakou Shelter.
