Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 547 - 544: Meeting the Thick Earth Squad Again

Sponsored

Lin Xinghai, of course, had no objection to Kong Hua’s plan.

"I’ll take the squad in this direction, then!" Lin Xinghai knew the locations of all the special forces squads, so he casually pointed to the one farthest away.

"Alright, I’ll head in this direction then. Also, if I sense that Divine Demon Realm expert coming to the second floor, I’ll release a burst of my aura as a warning. The moment you feel it, head straight for me," Kong Hua instructed.

Lin Xinghai nodded. When it came to matters concerning his life, he never tried to be a hero.

Besides, compared to the Perception Power of a Divine Demon Realm expert, his own, with its mere two-kilometer range, was completely outmatched.

Once their discussion was over, the group quickly split up.

Lin Xinghai went full throttle, his body blurring into an afterimage and vanishing from sight in the blink of an eye.

The rescue was urgent, so even when he encountered enemies, he had no intention of stopping to fight.

Moving at top speed, it took him just over twenty seconds for his Perception Power to detect the squad in need of rescue.

To Lin Xinghai’s surprise, the squad he’d chosen was a familiar one: the Thick Earth Squad, who had ridden in the same Armored Vehicle with them.

However, the Thick Earth Squad’s situation was not great. They had been cornered in a room by the base’s armed personnel and were under a frenzied attack, barely able to defend themselves.

Fortunately, there weren’t many teams attacking them, only three armed squads.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the Thick Earth Squad would have been strong enough not to fear these few armed personnel. However, Lin Xinghai’s Perception revealed that all their members were badly wounded, and three were already unconscious from severe injuries.

Fortunately, their team had three Earth Ability Users. It seemed these three had specially trained to coordinate their Superpowers, allowing them to stack their Earth Superpowers to form a thick defensive layer.

This was the only reason they were still holding on.

But at this rate, they could collapse at any moment once their Superpowers ran out.

Sensing this, Lin Xinghai picked up his pace.

...

"Everyone, hold on! The Wolf Hunting Squad just messaged us! The Military Department sent the Sharp Blade Camp to the rescue, and they’ll be here any second! We can’t fall now!" Jin Xiu shouted, desperately using his Earth Superpower to block the door while trying to rally his troops.

"Captain, my Superpower is almost exhausted. At this rate, I’m afraid we can’t even last a minute. Why don’t you let me go all out and blow the motherfuckers to hell," a member said through gritted teeth, pulling a High-Energy Bomb from his backpack.

"Yeah, Captain, we’re out of bullets, but we still have these High-Energy Bombs. We can at least take out one squad. It would be worth it," another member added fiercely.

"What’s the rush? Trying to get reincarnated? If you have energy to talk, use it to cast another Superpower! Even if we’re taking them down with us, I go first. You back me up," Jin Xiu couldn’t help but curse.

But despite his harsh words, his eyes dimmed. He knew his squad was likely done for. His only hope now was that when they charged out, they could take down two more enemy squads and avoid a total wipeout.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a loud bang erupted from the doorway. The Earth Wall they had created with their Superpowers was blown open by a grenade.

Seeing this, Jin Xiu gritted his teeth, immediately grabbed a High-Energy Bomb, and was about to charge out.

At the same time, the two members who had just spoken made the same move.

The three of them exchanged a look. After years of fighting in perfect sync, no words were needed. They understood each other’s intent. If each of them could take out an enemy squad, the brothers left inside might have a chance to live.

However, the moment they charged out the door, what they saw were armed personnel falling one after another.

Without exception, almost all of them were shot in the head, their faces filled with confusion and fear, as if even at the moment of death, they didn’t understand what had happened.

"Phew! Glad I made it in time." Jin Xiu and the others, who were stunned, suddenly heard a voice from a distance.

They looked up and saw a slender figure walking slowly from the end of the corridor.

"It’s you!" Jin Xiu’s expression was complicated.

Before the mission, he had thought the kid was too young and inexperienced, that he would be a liability to the team.

However, the way things unfolded had completely exceeded his imagination. The other party’s infiltration speed was much faster than the other teams’. By the time they had just reached the secret passage, the Wolf Hunting Squad had already left a Back Door in the central control system.

He still found it hard to believe, even now.

But now, watching Lin Xinghai effortlessly take down three armed squads, he no longer had a shred of doubt. All that remained was pure awe.

’He’s just too strong!’

"How are you all holding up? Can you still walk? I’ll take you to the rendezvous point," Lin Xinghai asked after glancing around the room.

"No problem! But we have unconscious members, so we’ll have to carry them. If we encounter more enemies, we might not be of much help," Jin Xiu said, quickly calming himself.

"That’s not a problem. Let’s go, then." With that, Lin Xinghai turned and started walking back the way he came.

Watching how decisively he acted, Jin Xiu froze for a second before hurrying back into the room. He had the less injured members carry their unconscious teammates and quickly followed after Lin Xinghai.

On the way back, the members of the Thick Earth Squad got another firsthand taste of what "terrifying" truly meant.

The armed personnel they encountered along the way were utterly helpless against Lin Xinghai. They couldn’t even get close.

The sight left them shaken once again. Even at full strength, their Thick Earth Squad couldn’t have pulled this off.

In other words, Lin Xinghai alone was stronger than their entire squad.

The squad quickly returned to the designated rendezvous point, where the other rescue teams were also trickling in.

In fact, the Thick Earth Squad was in relatively good shape. Some squads had already lost several members, and one squad only had three survivors, who could only bring back the bodies of their comrades.

Lin Xinghai could see that these people hadn’t been killed by an explosion but had died in subsequent battles with other armed personnel.

When he realized this, he felt a little less burdened.

"Good work, everyone. The danger in this underground base far exceeded our initial estimates. The Military Department will ensure you’re all well-compensated after the mission is over."

"As for the soldiers who bravely sacrificed their lives, I will make sure the armed personnel in this base are buried right alongside them," Kong Hua said solemnly to the rescued special forces members.

After speaking, he had the Sharp Blade Camp dispatch a team to escort them back.

After arranging for the wounded, Kong Hua’s eyes sharpened as he said, "We’re going down. I want to see for myself just what the hell they’re researching down there."
