Invincible through Touching Corpses

Lin Xinghai watched the numbers and letters pop up on the decoder one by one and couldn’t help but ask, "How long will it take to crack this?"

"This alloy door uses a composite password, and it’s 32 digits long. Even with our latest decoder, it will take at least three minutes," the special forces soldier operating the device replied, his fingers flying across the keyboard.

Lin Xinghai glanced at the code continuously popping up, then began to survey his surroundings.

For any other team, waiting three minutes to unlock the door would be absolutely fatal. Forget three minutes—they wouldn’t even be able to afford a 30-second wait.

However, with a special Superpower User like Ping Zeyan on their team, it was a different story entirely.

Even if patrol teams walked right past them, they wouldn’t be discovered as long as there was no physical contact.

Of course, the command staff might have assigned their team to this particular entrance for this very reason.

While waiting for the results, everyone made preparations. After all, once the door opened, they would officially be inside the enemy’s base.

The environment inside would only be more complex and dangerous. It was safe to say that was when they would be truly tested.

While checking his equipment, Lin Xinghai subconsciously used his Perception Power to probe behind the door. He was quickly shocked to find that this alloy door weakened his Perception Power to a terrifying degree.

With the strength of his Perception Power, he could normally cover a 2-kilometer radius outside, and even detect things up to 200 meters underground.

But when he tried to send his Perception Power through the alloy door to investigate the situation inside, he was amazed to find that after penetrating it, he could only perceive things within a 20-meter range.

The weakening effect this alloy door had on his Perception Power was no small matter.

He now felt a little worried. ’If most of this underground base is built with this kind of alloy, my Perception Power will be more than halfway nullified.’

Still, even with only 20 meters, he discovered quite a bit. His brow furrowed, and he turned to Fu Yuan at his side. "I have a question. In an encounter, how do you guys keep the noise down?"

Who was Fu Yuan? As the deputy captain of a special operations squad, his strength aside, his experience was absolutely immense. Hearing Lin Xinghai’s question, he immediately knew something was wrong.

"What is it? Is someone behind the door?" Fu Yuan guessed at once.

His Perception Power was normal, and this alloy door clearly had some kind of jamming device. He was completely unaware of the situation behind it.

Lin Xinghai had nothing to hide about this. He nodded directly and said, "That’s right. My Perception Power can detect a squad stationed in the corridor inside."

At these words, the expressions of Fu Yuan and the other squad members changed in an instant.

They knew all too well what this meant.

If the enemy had a squad stationed there, even with minimal defensive measures, the situation would become extremely troublesome and difficult to handle.

More importantly, this was an infiltration mission. They couldn’t afford to get bogged down, and they certainly couldn’t dare to make a huge commotion.

"Can you get a precise count of their numbers and equipment? As for the noise from a fight, you don’t need to worry too much. We have a Sound Insulation Wall Instrument that can temporarily prevent sound from escaping."

"However, if we make too much of a commotion, like an explosion, the sound will be blocked, but the vibrations won’t be. The enemy will discover us quickly," Fu Yuan explained as he asked.

Hearing that they had equipment like a sound wall, Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but feel impressed. ’As expected of the East Sea Base,’ he thought. He had never seen anything like it at the Star Shield Shelter.

Of course, amidst his awe, he didn’t forget to describe the situation inside. "The squad inside has 10 members, all wearing Exoskeleton Armor. Their weapons are standard-issue Heavy Machine Guns, plus Heavy Shields or Longswords."

"Oh, and there’s also a defensive fortification with five self-propelled turrets that can create a wall of suppressing fire."

With almost every word Lin Xinghai spoke, the faces of the Wolf Hunting Squad members grew a shade darker.

Finally, the soldier decoding the door glanced at Fu Yuan and asked in a low voice, "Should I continue unlocking the door? Or should we wait for the other teams to arrive so we can figure out a plan together?"

Fu Yuan knew, of course, that this situation was completely beyond what the Wolf Hunting Squad could handle.

If it were just a squad of soldiers, even with a defensive fortification, they might have been able to give it a try.

The problem was that every enemy soldier was also wearing Exoskeleton Armor, which was basically a weakened version of a Mecha. The power gap between the two sides would instantly widen.

Even if they fought hard and managed to win, their own side would likely suffer heavy losses. More importantly, a battle like that would create a massive disturbance, completely defeating the purpose of an infiltration.

Thinking of this, Fu Yuan looked at Lin Xinghai, chose his words carefully, and suggested, "Captain, given the situation, I think it would be better to wait for the other squads and discuss our options. What do you think?"

Although Lin Xinghai was only their temporary captain, if everyone else agreed, they could overrule his command.

However, the incredible strength Lin Xinghai had displayed along the way meant none of them dared to underestimate him. They had already started to see him as their real captain.

"The other team is at least a kilometer away, and that last kilometer probably won’t be easy for them. There’s no need to waste so much time."

"In a moment, give me that Sound Insulation Wall Instrument. I’ll go in first, and you all just follow me in," Lin Xinghai said, shaking his head.

Hearing this, Fu Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to ask if Lin Xinghai understood just how strong a squad fully equipped with Exoskeleton Armor was.

It was simply not something people at the Blood Qi Realm could handle. Even a powerhouse from the Body Shaping Realm would very likely be surrounded and killed.

But seeing Lin Xinghai’s calm expression, and remembering how he had effortlessly handled every problem they had encountered along the way, Fu Yuan ultimately swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

"Since you’re going in, do you have any specific instructions for us?" Fu Yuan asked seriously.

After all, what Lin Xinghai had just said was far too vague—just telling them to follow him in, with no further instructions.
