Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 139 - 138: Resisting Alone

Everyone was stunned by Lin Xinghai’s command.

"Brother Hai, you’ve got to be kidding! You’re really planning to take on that Mercenary Corps by yourself?" Xu Haishui asked in disbelief, swallowing hard.

"He’s right! Brother Lin, they have a Mecha. This is beyond our capabilities. We should notify the Corps Leader and have them dispatch a Mecha back here to handle it!" Ling Xiu chimed in, trying to persuade him.

"There’s no need. We have them on the ropes right now, so we can’t give them a chance to breathe. If we let them recover, something unpredictable might happen."

"Besides, even if I can’t destroy a single Mecha, I can still tie it up. I won’t be reckless if things truly get out of hand," Lin Xinghai said after a moment’s thought.

Hearing this, the others fell silent. They truly had no idea what gave Lin Xinghai the confidence to make such a claim.

But they had all seen him accomplish impossible feats before, so in the end, no one argued.

As for Lin Xinghai, once he finished speaking, he quickly returned to the Armored Vehicle. First, he swapped out the magazine on his firearm, then picked up several more magazines loaded with different types of Special Bullets.

Among the magazines he grabbed, one was filled entirely with Burning Bullets, and another with Corrosive Bullets.

These Corrosive Bullets were the source of his confidence in taking on the enemy Mecha.

After all, even Armor-Piercing Bullets could only inflict minimal damage on a Mecha.

But Corrosive Bullets were different. This was powerful stuff, capable of eating through even special Alloys.

Although the corrosion process took time, for Lin Xinghai, it was enough as long as it could cause real damage.

With his gear sorted out, Lin Xinghai didn’t linger and set off immediately.

This time, he unleashed his full speed. His Speed Superpower, combined with the Phantom Body Technique, instantly boosted his Speed to 360 points. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from sight.

"Did... did I just see Brother Hai leave?" Xu Haishui said, his voice uncertain.

After all, the time between Lin Xinghai stepping out of the vehicle and vanishing in a burst of speed was just the blink of an eye. Xu Haishui honestly wasn’t sure if he’d imagined it.

"I think I saw it too..." For once, Wu Yan didn’t snap back at Xu Haishui, sharing the same thought.

They simply couldn’t believe the speed Lin Xinghai had just unleashed.

It was beyond the realm of common sense. An Optimized who had broken two Genetic Locks unleashing such speed... they wouldn’t even dare to imagine such a thing in their wildest dreams.

"If my Thousand-Mile Eye Superpower isn’t on the fritz, then what you all saw was real," Ling Xiu said, somewhat dazed.

A deathly silence instantly fell over the group.

Lin Xinghai, of course, had no idea how profoundly he had shocked everyone by unleashing his full speed.

He was currently hurtling at top speed toward the approaching Fierce Tiger Mercenary Corps. With both sides moving at full tilt, the distance between them was closing rapidly.

Three kilometers... two kilometers... one kilometer... 900 meters... 500 meters...

By the time he was within 1,000 meters, Lin Xinghai was already using the surrounding buildings for cover. At 500 meters, he fully extended his Perception Power.

Soon, the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Corps entered his Perception Range. After carefully sensing the aura fluctuations of each individual, a look of relief washed over Lin Xinghai’s face.

Things were unfolding just as he had guessed.

Earlier, when Ling Xiu had mentioned the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Corps, he had wracked his brain for any information about them but came up with nothing.

According to the data Roger had given him on Mercenary Corps, he should have at least some vague recollection of any First Level Mercenary Corps with potential, even if he couldn’t recall the specifics.

The fact that he had absolutely no impression of the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Corps could only mean one thing: forget fierce tigers, they weren’t even fierce puppies.

And his Perception Power confirmed it.

The strength of their Mercenaries was on the low side; ninety percent of them had only broken one Genetic Lock.

As for those who had broken two Genetic Locks, there were only three in the entire Mercenary Corps, their leader included. Their leader’s Genetic Optimization Level was probably only around 85%!

But 85% was irrelevant. Even if his Genetic Optimization Level were 89%, it would be useless. Without breaking the third Genetic Lock, his Perception Power wouldn’t be strong enough to fully unleash the Mecha’s capabilities.

At best, he would be like Roger, only able to bring out 50% of the Mecha’s performance.

The Mecha’s base Speed is 800 points. If he can only use 50% of its performance, his Speed would only be 400 points.

While that was faster than him, the margin wasn’t huge. Under these circumstances, he was more than capable of maneuvering against the opponent, and maybe even destroying it.

Lin Xinghai found a concealed position. He waited for the enemy’s Armored Vehicle to get closer, and as soon as it entered his Tearing Rifle’s effective range, he fired four quick shots without hesitation, severing the load-bearing axle of one of the wheels.

His timing was perfect. He fired just as the vehicle was swerving to avoid an obstacle. When the axle snapped, the entire Armored Vehicle immediately lost its balance and veered into a building on the side of the street.

BOOM!

With a deafening crash, the Armored Vehicle came to a halt. The Mercenaries inside were thrown about and left dazed and confused.

But it wasn’t over. The next moment, Lin Xinghai swapped to Burning Bullets, and the entire vehicle became a blazing furnace.

"What the hell is going on? What are we paying the scouts for? The enemy is right on our doorstep and you didn’t even notice!" Zeng Hong, the leader of the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Corps, roared.

The Mercenary in charge of monitoring felt completely wronged. His attention had been fixed on the main battlefield, so he hadn’t paid any mind to a single approaching blip on the life detector.

Besides, even if he had seen it, he would have assumed the detector was malfunctioning. After all, for one person to dare to attack an entire Mercenary Corps... wasn’t that just insane?

But the truth was, the attacker not only dared, but they had also succeeded. So no matter how wronged he felt, he had no way to argue back.

"Repair team, check the vehicle damage immediately! I’m going to kill that bastard. By the time I get back, I want this vehicle up and running," Zeng Hong commanded. After his initial outburst, he realized getting angry was pointless and suppressed his rage.

As he gave the order, a few Mercenaries who knew vehicle repair scrambled out of the vehicle. They didn’t want to get chewed out for being slow to react.

However, from the moment they stepped out of the vehicle, they were destined to never worry about being yelled at again. A dark, gaping muzzle was already pointed at their heads.

Lin Xinghai waited a few seconds. Seeing only four men get out, he was slightly disappointed. But he didn’t hesitate, immediately opening fire and killing them all.

Zeng Hong had just activated his Mecha’s scanning systems and locked onto Lin Xinghai’s position when he heard four gunshots. He watched through the Mecha’s optical feed as four of his men were killed in an instant. He was stunned.
