Invincible through Touching Corpses

"Pass on my orders. Activate the highest-level combat readiness plan. Open the armory and get all the heavy weapons out. Stall them for at least ten minutes."

"Also, remove the hard drives with the lab data. I’m coming down to get them now. Destroy all data on the remaining equipment immediately." Raphael issued two commands in quick succession.

He no longer had time to deal with the infiltrating special operations squad. He immediately headed back to the lab below, intending to grab the data and evacuate at once.

As for fighting back, the thought had never even crossed his mind.

After all, this was Hua Country territory. Even if he could somehow withstand this wave of attacks, they could mobilize dozens of times more troops in an instant.

Besides, to him, the experimental data he possessed was far more important than this underground base.

...

Meanwhile, Lin Xinghai was still unaware that East Sea Base had already launched its final assault ahead of schedule.

He was leading the rest of his squad, climbing quickly through the ventilation ducts.

Soon, they had climbed from the third sublevel to the second.

He had thought they would have a smooth climb all the way to the surface exit.

But suddenly, he found the ventilation duct ahead was blocked. Then, a blue electrical glow flared to life.

In an instant, that section of the duct was flooded with high-voltage current. Nearly half of the Wolf Hunting Squad couldn’t shield themselves with Blood Qi Power in time, and their bodies were paralyzed by the shock.

"It’s a trap!" Fu Yuan exclaimed, his voice a mix of shock and fury.

He reacted quickly, instantly shielding his entire body with Blood Qi Power so he didn’t lose his mobility.

But Lin Xinghai’s reaction was even faster. The instant he saw the blue light flare up, he activated his Time Acceleration Ability and unleashed his Thunder Divine Body.

With his Thunder Control Physique, his resistance to electricity was already extremely high. Combined with his active Thunder Divine Body, the high-voltage current had almost no effect on him.

However, it was a different story for the others, especially the members who hadn’t managed to shield themselves with Blood Qi Power in time.

If this went on for even ten seconds, they would likely be shocked unconscious, and their internal organs would suffer severe damage.

He acted decisively, unleashing Thunderbolt Step. He wasn’t using it to move, however, but to attack, and immediately kicked at the duct wall.

The ventilation ducts were made of a fairly high-quality alloy.

But with Lin Xinghai’s Thunder Divine Body active, the Attack Power of his legs was comparable to a Body Shaping Realm expert. Moreover, with his Time Acceleration Ability, he landed over a dozen kicks in the blink of an eye.

BOOM!

Almost instantly, the duct was blasted apart by Giant Strength, creating a massive hole. Lin Xinghai, relying on his incredible speed, took only a second to throw everyone out.

He had already scanned the area with his Perception Power. The hole opened into the side of a small, empty conference room, so they were safe for the moment.

A wave of lingering fear washed over them only after Lin Xinghai had thrown them all to safety.

This time, if it hadn’t been for Lin Xinghai, two or three of them would have likely died, even if the rest of the squad managed to escape.

"Alright, don’t just stand there. We’re exposed. You guys blast a path out of here immediately," Lin Xinghai said, pointing at the ceiling. "I’ll go hold off the armed personnel on their way."

Now that they were exposed, there was no reason to hold back.

Since the enemy could block their path, they could certainly blast a new one for themselves.

The others snapped back to their senses. Hearing Lin Xinghai’s command, Fu Yuan immediately took out a High-Energy Bomb.

The rest of the team took out tools to set it for a precision blast.

As for Lin Xinghai, he pushed open the conference room door and stepped out.

Having just triggered the enemy’s trap, their squad’s position had certainly been pinpointed.

Just as Lin Xinghai had predicted, the moment he opened the door, he saw two squads appear at the other end of the hallway.

The moment they appeared, they raised their firearms and charged forward, guns blazing.

’Using guns against me?’ A mocking smile played on Lin Xinghai’s lips. His form flickered, and none of the countless bullets came close to hitting him.

At the same time, a Tearing Rifle had somehow appeared in his hand, and he pulled the trigger.

RAT-TAT-TAT!

In the blink of an eye, every member of both squads fell to the ground, dead.

’Firearms are still faster and less trouble. A pity I was worried about being exposed earlier and could only use melee weapons,’ Lin Xinghai muttered as he detached the magazine and refilled it with bullets.

Then he raised his rifle again and pulled the trigger.

RAT-TAT-TAT!

Just then, another squad rushed around the corner. They were all hit and fell dead the instant they appeared.

The members of that squad hadn’t even seen what Lin Xinghai looked like.

Simultaneously, a huge explosion erupted from the conference room behind him.

Lin Xinghai immediately spun around and saw that Fu Yuan and the others had blasted a large crater in the corner of the ceiling, opening a direct path to the first sublevel.

"Go!" After a quick scan with his Perception Power confirmed it was safe, Lin Xinghai leaped up, and the others hurried to follow.

Above them was another small conference room. The group charged straight out without stopping.

Lin Xinghai had already memorized the map of this first sublevel. He didn’t need a guide; he took the lead, gunning down any armed personnel he saw.

Their pace was even faster than it had been while they were just trying to get through the base.

Seeing Lin Xinghai use a gun for the first time, the members of the Wolf Hunting Squad were secretly floored. It was simply unbelievable.

In their eyes, a genius like Lin Xinghai should be spending the vast majority of his time on Cultivation or practicing Martial Arts.

As for firearms, he should have at most only dabbled, since a person’s energy and focus are finite.

But now, they were watching Lin Xinghai fire without even seeming to aim, and under these conditions, he was still landing a headshot with every single bullet.

How could this be called ’not being skilled’?! His Gun Technique was even more terrifying than that of highly trained special forces soldiers like themselves.

"Huang Tianyu, open the emergency entrance gate now," Lin Xinghai ordered as he continued to charge forward.

Huang Tianyu, who was in the middle of the formation, was confused by the order, but he complied immediately without asking any questions.

Of course, he had no way of knowing that Lin Xinghai gave this order because the time bomb they had planted in the armory was about to detonate.

He was racing against the clock.

Moreover, as long as that alloy gate was open, he could escape on his own, even if he couldn’t manage to get everyone out.

Otherwise, even with his Divine Demon Body active, he wouldn’t be able to kick open a high-strength alloy door like that in a short amount of time.
