Invincible through Touching Corpses

It wasn’t until he and the others from the Wolf Hunting Squad had run out of the armory that Lin Xinghai finally had a chance to ask the question on his mind. "By the way, why did you plant the bombs differently this time?"

From Lin Xinghai’s perspective, the way they planted the bombs this time was almost child’s play. They just went in, threw the things down, and left immediately.

"Before, we took precise measurements for a precision detonation. But time is so tight on this one, we could only roughly eyeball the position and toss them," Fu Yuan explained.

"Uh... you didn’t even secure them. Aren’t you worried that anyone who arrives later could just take those High-Energy Bombs and detonate them somewhere else?" Lin Xinghai asked, still confused.

"It’s fine. We made some adjustments. After the detonation device is activated, the instrument will scan its surroundings. As long as someone is within a 3-meter radius, it will automatically detonate."

"Even if they could block the scanning device, the moment the detonator is moved, it will also explode immediately," Fu Yuan elaborated.

At this point, Huang Tianyu, who was also nearby, chimed in. "If they want to disarm the detonator, the only way is to crack our detonation signal. But this type of device was designed with multiple layers of encryption from the start. What’s more, I only set the timer for one minute. It’s practically impossible to do it in such a short amount of time."

Hearing their explanations, Lin Xinghai finally understood and nodded. ’If that’s the case, our mission is basically complete.’

Of course, that was all contingent on them being able to escape successfully.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

Lin Xinghai swept his Mjolnir sideways, and the patrol squad they encountered collapsed to the ground, dead in an instant.

This time, the group didn’t even bother dealing with the bodies; they just rushed straight past.

With the enemy already on high alert, killing these patrol members was tantamount to exposing their own position.

After all, even if their jamming devices cut off the patrols’ alarms, as soon as the enemy’s command system lost contact with these squads, they would know something was wrong and that there were hostiles in the area.

Under these circumstances, the danger Lin Xinghai and his team faced was easy to imagine. As their position was revealed, more and more armed personnel would converge to hunt them down.

The only silver lining was the "Back Door" that Huang Haotian had left in the central control system, which was now playing a crucial role.

As the computer viruses he’d planted began to activate, the ubiquitous cameras and automated weapons throughout the base were unable to lock onto them.

Otherwise, their already dire situation would have been even worse.

"The elevators have been locked down by the enemy. Turn right up ahead; we’ll take the fire escape," Fu Yuan’s voice came from behind.

Lin Xinghai immediately nodded to show he understood. However, just as he was about to turn right toward the fire escape, he suddenly froze.

For the first time, an extremely grave expression appeared on his face.

"What is it?" Fu Yuan sensed the problem immediately and asked at once.

"This way," Lin Xinghai said in a low voice before immediately leading the group in a different direction. He then closed his eyes, saying nothing more, as if sensing something.

Although the members of the Wolf Hunting Squad didn’t know what was happening, they all tensed up.

Previously, no matter what situation he faced, Lin Xinghai had always looked relaxed. But his current expression clearly indicated he had discovered something truly serious.

Fortunately, this tense atmosphere only lasted for a few seconds before Lin Xinghai opened his eyes. His tone was heavy as he said, "Our intelligence was wrong. There’s a Divine Demon Realm expert here. I just sensed his presence."

"He’s probably detected us too, but another combat team is closer to him, so he’s gone to deal with them first."

Hearing the words "Divine Demon Realm expert," the minds of everyone in the Wolf Hunting Squad went blank.

A Divine Demon Realm expert was practically non-human. They could fully unleash their Divine Demon Body. In terms of combat ability, all of their infiltration teams combined wouldn’t be enough to fight one.

More importantly, the Perception Power of a Divine Demon Realm expert underwent another transformation. With a single thought, they could scan for any movement within a ten-thousand-meter radius.

It was safe to say that if the military had known beforehand that a Divine Demon Realm expert was stationed at this base, they would never have arranged an infiltration mission in the first place.

Because it would be no different from serving themselves up on a platter. It was highly likely that the moment they snuck in, the expert would have detected them all with a single sweep of his Perception.

Of course, the reason they had made it this far had a lot to do with the Perception-blocking metal used in this base’s construction.

The enemy had likely incorporated this metal when building the underground base to prevent certain secrets from being discovered by Perception Power.

And the result was that even the resident Divine Demon Realm expert was severely affected. Otherwise, they probably would have been discovered long ago.

Realizing this, Fu Yuan spoke up, "His Perception Power will be limited in here, too. Maybe we really do have a chance to escape."

Lin Xinghai had, of course, thought of this as well.

"Right. But that depends on how long the other teams can hold back that Divine Demon Realm expert. If they’re killed instantly, our chances of escape are still pretty slim," Lin Xinghai said in a low voice.

’Of course, that doesn’t include me. With my Speed, I could still escape alone. As for the others... they’ll likely all have to be sacrificed.’

The moment he finished speaking, several violent roars echoed from the distance. The sound of these explosions was even louder than before.

"That sound... it must be from High-Energy Bombs detonating. That squad has been sacrificed," Fu Yuan said, his voice filled with grief.

As he spoke, he pulled a High-Energy Bomb from his combat pack and held it in his hand. Seeing this, the other members of the Wolf Hunting Squad did the same.

Clearly, they were prepared to detonate the High-Energy Bombs in their hands if they were caught.

Even if they couldn’t take the enemy down with them, these High-Energy Bombs could at least inflict some damage on a Divine Demon Realm expert, contributing in some small way to the main force’s subsequent assault.

"Captain Lin, do you need one of these?" Fu Yuan asked, pulling out another High-Energy Bomb and offering it to Lin Xinghai.

The corner of Lin Xinghai’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. He really wanted to say, "I can get away!"

But in the end, he held his tongue and silently took the High-Energy Bomb from the other man’s hand.

"Huang Tianyu, detonate that Energy Room for me. Now."

"That Divine Demon Realm expert is stationed here, and nine times out of ten, it’s to protect the laboratory on the lowest level. Destroy the lab’s energy supply. Even if it doesn’t force him to rush back immediately, it’ll make him feel the sting," Lin Xinghai said in a cold voice.
