Invincible through Touching Corpses

Huang Tianyu’s eyes lit up at Lin Xinghai’s command. He’d been so tense that he’d almost forgotten about it.

They had only planted the bomb in the Energy Room as a matter of convenience; they hadn’t expected it to play such a major role now.

He nodded at once and rapidly tapped on the wrist-mounted computer he was holding. A command key was sent to the Energy Room through a "Back Door" in the central control system.

Meanwhile, Lin Xinghai had already led the group to the entrance of their second escape route... a restroom.

Ahem! To be precise, it was an air vent inside the restroom.

When they had hacked the central control system and obtained the blueprints for the entire underground base, they discovered that these air vents connected to every part of the facility.

If all went well, they could use the vents to return to the surface.

...

As Lin Xinghai and his team quickly entered the restroom, a white man over 1,000 meters away flicked at his tattered clothes with a grim look.

He was Raphael, the Divine Demon Realm expert of this base.

He never would have imagined that someone could still sneak into the underground base, especially after he had raised the alert Level to its maximum.

What surprised him even more was that these special forces soldiers were completely unafraid of death. Upon seeing him, they had detonated the High-Energy Bombs in their hands without a moment’s hesitation.

If he hadn’t dodged in time, he likely would have sustained serious injuries from the blast of over a dozen High-Energy Bombs.

"Excellent. Not a single one of you will escape." A vicious glint flashed in his eyes as his vast Perception Power spread out, instantly locking onto the next squad.

However, just as he was about to rush over, another loud boom echoed from not far away.

Raphael immediately swept his Perception Power toward the sound, the fury on his face intensifying. "Damn it! They actually blew up the Energy Room."

But his anger quickly turned to dread.

The Energy Room was filled with Energy Crystal Stones. Under normal conditions, these stones were extremely stable; you could even drop them on the ground without issue.

But this Stability wasn’t absolute. If exposed to extremely high temperatures, for example, their internal structure would become unstable.

The temperature generated at the moment a High-Energy Bomb detonates was enough to meet that condition.

And an Energy Crystal Stone was, in essence, a hyper-condensed Energy Body. If it became unstable, it was basically a massive bomb.

After Huang Tianyu detonated the High-Energy Bomb, the Energy Crystal Stones in the Energy Room rapidly destabilized. The next moment, they caused a sympathetic detonation.

RUMBLE!

A deafening roar echoed out, and the entire underground base began to shake.

A terrifying wave of Energy and fire erupted outward from the Energy Room. Any armed personnel caught in the blast were either killed or grievously wounded.

The terrifying explosion instantly twisted, warped, and shattered the surrounding Alloy walls.

In the blink of an eye, a massive cavity was left behind, offering a direct view from the first Level of the underground base down to the fifth.

Although Lin Xinghai was crawling rapidly through the air ducts, his Perception Power wasn’t idle. It was constantly scanning the situation outside, so of course, he witnessed this scene. His jaw hung slightly agape.

"That’s really something," he remarked with a sigh. "This single blast caused more casualties than all of my previous efforts combined."

Moreover, the explosion had instantly thrown the base into chaos. Now, even if the enemy found them, it wouldn’t be so easy to organize an interception and surround them.

The others were still crawling, but after hearing the massive commotion and Lin Xinghai’s comment, their curiosity was getting the better of them. They all started asking about the current situation.

Lin Xinghai had nothing to hide and simply described what he had perceived.

"Heh! This explosion is nothing," Fu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. "Just wait until the weapons depot goes up. The chain reaction from that explosion... *that’s* what you call terrifying."

The others felt the same. Many of them had been scared to death when they first heard there was a Divine Demon Realm expert here. Now, thinking about the immense trouble they were causing for the enemy, they were naturally quite excited.

Hearing Fu Yuan’s words, Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but feel a surge of anticipation.

But then a thought occurred to him. His expression changed as he asked grimly, "There are intercontinental missiles in the weapons depot. They won’t get caught in the sympathetic detonation, will they?"

’Those are intercontinental missiles! A single one could destroy this entire underground base. I’d be dead for sure.’

’If Fu Yuan dares to say the word "yes" right now, I’ll abandon this group and make a run for it myself.’

Fu Yuan had no idea that the very survival of their Wolf Hunting Squad now hinged on his answer.

He answered quite casually, "Don’t worry. We were rushed when we planted them, but we’re not suicidal. We deliberately avoided the area with the intercontinental missiles when we dropped the High-Energy Bombs."

"You were in the weapons depot earlier, you saw it. The area where the intercontinental missiles are stored is specially partitioned off, and the surrounding walls are covered with high-strength Alloy to prevent this exact scenario."

"With those high-strength Alloy walls acting as a buffer, even if the entire weapons depot explodes, the most it would do is warp and deform that section."

"Besides, intercontinental missiles are extremely expensive to produce. We wouldn’t want to destroy such a valuable prize! Without them, our combat merits would be cut in half, at least."

Lin Xinghai breathed a silent sigh of relief after hearing Fu Yuan’s explanation. Still, he picked up his pace. ’It would be best to get out of this underground base before the next explosion.’

As the old saying goes, it’s not the predictable you fear, but the one-in-a-million chance.

...

While Lin Xinghai and his men were reveling in their success, Raphael was seething with rage.

But with the Energy Room destroyed, he had no choice but to stop and activate the backup power systems. These actions required his authorization, so only he could perform them.

However, just as he hastily issued the necessary commands and was about to resume his pursuit of the other special forces squads, another message came through his comms.

This news not only extinguished his rage in an instant but also sent a chill straight to his heart.

With such a major incident unfolding at the underground base, coupled with several massive explosions, how could the East Sea Base Military Department possibly have failed to notice?

Discovering that the infiltration squads had been exposed, Lieutenant General Kong Hua had unhesitatingly given the order to launch the full-scale assault ahead of schedule.

The message Raphael had just received was precisely that: a massive army was advancing on the underground base.

And this time, the East Sea Base had dispatched an entire division—a force their single underground base had no hope of repelling.
