Invincible through Touching Corpses

Seeing the calm expression on Lin Xinghai’s face, the group, who had been on edge, miraculously calmed down.

Especially Liu Miaomiao. She knew Lin Xinghai best, and that expression told her he must have a way to handle this situation.

"Don’t panic. I’m here. Even with the 50,000 zombies coming later, the total will only be a little over 60,000. We’ll use the Hand Cannons in a bit. Taking down this huge horde won’t be a problem at all," Lin Xinghai said calmly.

"Uh... Boss, if you’re here helping us hold off the zombies, who’s going to deal with those two Mutated Zombies?" Little Fatty asked, completely bewildered.

"Simple. I just need to take out those two Mutated Zombies and rush back before the horde of 50,000 arrives, right?" Lin Xinghai said offhandedly.

What he had feared most was that the number of zombies lured in the first wave would be too large for the others to handle after he left.

But now, after a few minutes of culling them, the horde was already under 15,000. Plus, everyone’s Gun Technique had improved drastically, so him leaving for a short time was no problem at all.

It was safe to say that what Lin Xinghai was worried about was on a completely different wavelength from the rest of the group.

But Lin Xinghai’s words left them all stunned.

What was he even saying?

Judging by his tone alone, they would have thought he was just going out to hunt two High Level Zombies!

But those were Mutated Zombies! And not just any, but the "Death Claw" and "Giant Arm," both incredibly formidable in close combat.

But Lin Xinghai had no time to pay them any mind. He just remarked, "Come to think of it, this is my first time piloting a Rare Level Mecha. I’m actually a little excited!"

Hearing this, the group’s spirits immediately lifted.

That’s right! How could they have forgotten?

They had brought a Rare Level Mecha this time. As long as Lin Xinghai could unleash even half of its power, dealing with two First Level Zombies would be a piece of cake.

The only thing to worry about was whether he could make it back in time.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Lin Xinghai quickly went downstairs to where the Mecha was parked.

The 10-meter-tall Rare Level Mecha was as high as a three-story building. Even in its current semi-crouched position, it was still 5 meters tall. To park it, they had to knock through the ceiling to combine the first and second floors.

With a hint of anticipation, Lin Xinghai entered the cockpit, put on the Brainwave Connector, and quickly released his Perception Power to sync with the Mecha.

To unleash a Mecha’s full potential, the first step is to achieve a 100% sync rate.

For a normal military-issue Standard Mecha, a Perception Range of 100 meters is enough to achieve a 100% sync.

But to achieve a 100% sync with a Rare Level Mecha like this, one’s Perception Range needed to be at least 1,000 meters—a full tenfold increase.

However, Lin Xinghai’s Perception Power could already cover a range of 1,600 meters, so he synced with the Mecha with considerable ease, able to unleash 100% of its power.

Of course, Lin Xinghai also discovered that piloting a Rare Level Mecha consumed an unusually large amount of Perception Power—a full ten times that of a Standard Mecha.

Even with his level of Perception Power, piloting it for half an hour would probably drain most of it.

Of course, that was more than enough time to handle most situations.

VMM!

With a low hum, the Mecha activated at full power, instantly smashing through the main doors and charging out in a savage rush.

Boosted Sprint!

Lin Xinghai instantly executed a High Level Driving Skill. The Rare Level Mecha’s legs bent slightly, and in that moment, the 16 boost engines in its legs simultaneously entered an overloaded state before erupting with power in the next instant.

In almost an instant, with the help of this High Level Driving Skill, the Mecha’s forward Speed exploded from just over 100 points at startup to its limit of 5,000 points.

Yes, this was the power of a Rare Level Mecha. Its three Attributes were far superior to those of a normal Standard Mecha, generally starting at 3,000 points or more.

The one Little Fatty had given Lin Xinghai, however, had been modified multiple times. Its three Attributes—Physique, Power, and Speed—had all reached the maximum value of 5,000 points.

With the Rare Level Mecha’s immense size and terrifying impact speed, it became a horrifying weapon in itself. Any zombie along its path was grievously wounded by a mere graze and killed on direct contact.

Little Fatty and the others, watching from above, could only see a massive black shadow flash past. In its wake, it left a "red carpet" of blood and gore.

"Is that a Rare Level Mecha? It’s so powerful!" Sun Tianbo couldn’t help but exclaim.

"No, it’s the Boss who’s amazing! He’s actually able to unleash 100% of the Mecha’s combat power." Little Fatty knew more, and the shock in his eyes was even greater than the others’.

You have to understand, that requires a Perception Range of a full 1,000 meters to achieve!

A normal Blood Qi Realm Middle Stage expert would be considered extremely impressive for unleashing even 50% of a Rare Level Mecha’s power.

Of course, after the shock came elation.

If he could unleash 100% of the Rare Level Mecha’s power, then dealing with two Tier One Mutated Zombies would be no problem at all.

Forget the "Death Claw" and "Giant Arm"—even an "Armored Corpse," with its superior Defense Power, couldn’t withstand a full-power strike from a Rare Level Mecha.

Of course, Little Fatty’s group weren’t the only ones who saw this. Zhou De, who was currently organizing his men to head over, also saw it clearly through a reconnaissance drone he had deployed.

Watching the speed the Rare Level Mecha unleashed, he instantly realized that his previous worries had been completely unnecessary.

As the camera zoomed out, he could even see that the two Mutated Zombies that had been leading the charge were now starting to retreat.

Evidently, these Mutated Zombies had extremely keen danger perception. Even from such a great distance, they had instantly sensed how terrifying this Rare Level Mecha was.

’They’re pretty smart,’ Zhou De thought, glancing at the distance between the two Mutated Zombies and Lin Xinghai’s Mecha. It was over three kilometers.

At such a distance, even a Rare Level Mecha would have a hard time chasing them down. It wasn’t that it couldn’t catch them, but that it would waste a lot of time.

Just as he thought the two Mutated Zombies would escape successfully, he caught something in the corner of his eye. He quickly looked toward the bottom-right of the screen and saw that in the mere moments he had been observing, Lin Xinghai’s Rare Level Mecha had already closed in on the zombie horde.

’What’s happening?’

The thought had barely formed in his mind when he saw the Mecha transform into a straight black line, streaking from one side of the screen to the other in the blink of an eye and plunging into the zombie horde.

Before he could even make out the details, the two Mutated Zombies were already decapitated.

The scene replayed over and over in Zhou De’s mind, but no matter how many times he replayed it, he still couldn’t quite figure out what had just happened.

Not until he saw the system-monitored data at the bottom of the screen.

According to the system’s calculations, the speed the Rare Level Mecha had just unleashed had reached an astonishing 50,000 points.

When he saw that number, Zhou De’s mind went completely blank. His entire worldview, built up over so many years, shattered in that instant.
