Invincible through Touching Corpses

The computer expert could only lament internally how wide the gap in status between him and Huang Tianyu would grow because of this incident.

But little did he know what a storm his words had stirred up in Jin Xiu’s heart.

"What did you say? The members of the Wolf Hunting Squad left a ’Back Door’ in the central control system?" Jin Xiu immediately asked.

His emotions were so intense that his voice got a little louder. Fortunately, he caught himself at once and lowered it again; otherwise, he might have been discovered.

At that moment, the computer expert also processed what he had said, and an identical look of disbelief appeared on his face.

But after a final glance at the lines of code scrolling on the device in his hand, he gave a firm nod.

"If they didn’t leave a ’Back Door’ in the central control system, this would be impossible," he said briefly before falling silent.

The other members of the Thick Earth Squad did the same.

At that moment, only a single thought ran through their minds: ’How on earth did the Wolf Hunting Squad manage that?’

They could have accepted it if the other team had been a little faster and entered the underground base ahead of them.

But the problem was, the other team wasn’t just a little bit faster—they were miles ahead! Hadn’t they seen? The others had already made a move on the central control system!

That was deep in the enemy’s heartland. They could imagine how terrifying the surrounding Defense was just from their own journey here.

But not only had the other team successfully infiltrated it, they even had the time to leave behind a "Back Door" like this.

At this thought, the youthful face of Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but surface in Jin Xiu’s mind.

He was all too familiar with the strength of the Wolf Hunting Squad’s members. Based on the others’ abilities, it would have been impossible for them to pull this off.

But they had done it. The only explanation was that the newcomer he previously thought would be a liability was actually incredibly strong.

However, if that were true, it would contradict his own observations. He was certain that Lin Xinghai’s strength hadn’t reached the Body Shaping Realm; he was also just a Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artist.

’So, under these circumstances, how did a Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artist accomplish this?’

Although Jin Xiu couldn’t quite figure it out, there was no time to dwell on it. He immediately had the mercenary at the computer open the Alloy door, and the team filed in.

And then, unsurprisingly, they were stunned once again.

Looking at the armed personnel in Exoskeleton Armor lying on the ground, their gazes briefly lost focus.

This was an entire combat squad wearing Exoskeleton Armor!

In a real fight, they probably wouldn’t have been much weaker than their Thick Earth Squad.

But now, they were all sprawled on the ground. And looking at the wounds, every single one had been a fatal blow.

"Captain, the members of the Wolf Hunting Squad are just Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artists. How did they do this?" one of the squad members asked in a daze after examining a body on the ground.

"Their new captain might have a way to hide his Cultivation. In reality, he’s probably a Body Shaping Realm Martial Artist," Jin Xiu said after a moment of silence, offering the most plausible explanation he could think of.

The members of the Thick Earth Squad were deeply shaken.

But they were by no means an exception. Every other squad, no matter which entrance they used, discovered the "Back Door" left for them by the Wolf Hunting Squad the moment they hacked into the enemy’s system.

The gap was so immense that it left many of the squads on the verge of infiltration feeling completely demoralized.

Of course, being demoralized was one thing, but reaping the benefits was another.

After these special ops squads accepted this reality, they quickly began to experience the enormous advantages.

They could easily obtain the precise locations of patrol teams, allowing them to evade them and advance toward their objectives.

Of course, this perk was only available on the first and second floors, but even so, it saved these teams an untold amount of Time.

At the very least, many teams that had thought they wouldn’t complete their missions in time now saw a glimmer of hope.

...

While the other special ops squads were sighing in awe, envy, or confusion, Lin Xinghai was leading the Wolf Hunting Squad toward the third underground level.

This underground base had a total of five floors. The bottom three were where the truly important facilities were located, and the guards were much stricter than on the upper levels.

"It’d be awesome if we could hack into the central control systems of these bottom three floors. Then we wouldn’t have to keep sneaking around like this," Huang Tianyu remarked with a sigh, following behind the team.

"Then why don’t you just say you want to take control of the whole base?" Fu Yuan retorted irritably.

"Hey, I’d love to! But there isn’t enough Time. Otherwise, using the central control systems of the upper two floors as a springboard, give me an hour, and I could definitely take control of the entire base without anyone noticing," Huang Tianyu said.

Fu Yuan ignored him and instead glanced at his watch, turning to Lin Xinghai. "Captain, there are only five minutes left until the main assault."

"However, at our current Speed, we should be done planting the detonators in three minutes. After that, we just need to find a place to hide."

Lin Xinghai nodded slightly. After a moment of thought, he said, "Since we’ll have two minutes to spare, are there any other important facilities nearby? Let’s plant bombs on them as well."

Fu Yuan looked at the map in his hand. After a brief inspection, he said, "There happens to be an Energy Room nearby. We could try to destroy it."

"However, this Energy Room isn’t the main one. It’s the energy source that supplies the laboratories on the fourth and fifth floors."

"Even if we destroy this Energy Room, it won’t be of any help to the upcoming main assault. Should we still proceed?"

This underground base had five floors in total. The bottom two were both laboratories, and their security Level was extremely high. Even the intelligence agents who had infiltrated before had no chance of getting in.

Therefore, they were completely in the dark about what was being researched on the bottom two floors.

Regarding this question, Lin Xinghai thought for a moment before replying decisively, "Since we have the Time, let’s do it. But when you plant these bombs, don’t set them on a timer. Change them to remote detonation."

"When the time comes, if the Military Department’s assault goes smoothly, there’ll be no need to detonate them. But if things don’t go smoothly, we’ll blow up this Energy Room to draw the enemy’s attention."

"After all, they consider the laboratories on the bottom two floors to be so important. Cutting off the Energy supply is bound to cause a certain degree of chaos."

"Great idea!" Fu Yuan’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t thought of that before.

Leaving a backup plan like this could indeed cause a great deal of trouble for the enemy.
