Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 135 - 134: Fierce Attack

"Enemies!" Zhang Meiling’s main body shouted over the comms channel at once.

But her warning came a little too late. The enemy had launched their attack the very instant her clone was destroyed.

A shell, fired from one of the abandoned buildings, shot high into the air above the Mercenary Corps before exploding like a firework.

"It’s a Purgatory Bomb! Find cover, now!" Fang Tianhe roared over the comms channel almost instantly.

To Lin Xinghai’s Perception, the watermelon-sized Purgatory Bomb split into over a hundred thumb-sized pellets when it exploded. Each pellet radiated a sense of danger no less potent than a Hand Cannon Bullet.

Clearly, this so-called Purgatory Bomb was an enhanced type of cluster munition. Mechas and Armored Vehicles could withstand it, but for personnel on foot, it was absolutely devastating.

Right now, half of the Mercenaries were outside the Armored Vehicles. This was clearly the perfect time for the enemy to use a Purgatory Bomb.

Seeing the munitions raining down from the sky, Lin Xinghai immediately leaped off the roof of the vehicle. The most important thing for him right now was, of course, getting back inside the Armored Vehicle.

As he jumped, he scanned his surroundings. The Mercenaries on guard outside demonstrated the adaptability of seasoned veterans. Those near the Armored Vehicles scrambled to get back, while those farther away sprinted directly toward the buildings on either side.

As long as they had some cover to block the shockwaves, their Combat Suits, combined with the Physique of the Optimized, would be enough to survive.

However, since the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps had launched the attack, it was never going to be that simple. Six missiles launched immediately after.

Lin Xinghai recognized the six missiles at a glance—they were also Dongfeng-I man-portable missiles.

The six missiles locked onto six different targets: the four Armored Vehicles, as well as Fang Tianhe’s and Shen Han’s Mechas.

"Fuck!" Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but curse at the sight. The enemy didn’t just have good equipment; they had a lot of it.

If he hadn’t invited the Mountain and Sea Mercenary Corps, the enemy’s six missiles would have been a complete saturation attack. An ordinary mercenary corps would have had no chance of survival.

Of course, their current situation was still extremely perilous. Fortunately, Lin Xinghai had spotted the enemy from 500 meters out, which bought the team a precious sliver of time.

As Lin Xinghai fell, he raised his twin guns. The moment the first two missiles entered his 330-meter Perception range, he instantly calculated their trajectories and pulled the triggers.

Lin Xinghai completed this entire sequence of actions in under 0.1 seconds. But in that short span of time, the missiles had already traveled another hundred meters.

If he hadn’t broken his second Genetic Lock, which had drastically increased his reaction speed, he would never have had time to aim and fire, even if he could predict the missiles’ trajectories. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But that was all he could do. He didn’t have enough time to intercept the remaining four missiles.

Fortunately, he wasn’t the only capable one in the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps.

After Lin Xinghai fired, a much louder gunshot rang out. Shen Han had fired immediately after him.

A slug from the Electromagnetic Railgun shot forth, freezing the very air in its path. Clearly, the power of this shot was far beyond what Lin Xinghai’s attacks could achieve.

However, great power alone wasn’t enough to intercept a missile. The most important factor was precision.

The moment Shen Han fired, Lin Xinghai used his Perception Power to instantly determine that the shot was off-target—it would miss the missile by a full two meters.

Lin Xinghai’s heart leaped into his throat. However, the outcome was somewhat unexpected.

Shen Han’s slug exploded after flying 100 meters, transforming into a 10-cubic-meter cloud of ice crystals.

When the missile flew into the cloud of ice crystals, it froze solid and plummeted to the ground.

Just like that, the threat from three missiles was neutralized. However, the remaining three had already closed to within 100 meters of the convoy.

Just then, an Earth Wall suddenly rose up, shielding the front of the convoy.

It was clearly Gao Mountain’s doing. Amplified by his Mecha, the Earth Wall was as imposing as a fortress wall.

But the Earth Wall had barely formed when a deafening roar announced its destruction. It crumbled into a shower of dirt, completely unable to withstand the missile’s impact.

Regardless, the wall had successfully stopped one missile.

Of the two remaining missiles, one was locked onto Fang Tianhe’s Heaven-Sundering Mecha, while the other targeted the last Armored Vehicle in the convoy.

As the missile targeting Fang Tianhe closed to within 50 meters of his Mecha, the Vibrating Giant Blade in its hand swung out in a flash. A black light swirled around the weapon, extending its edge into a blade of energy dozens of meters long that cleaved the missile in two.

In the next instant, a thunderous explosion erupted. A violent shockwave rolled out, but with dozens of meters as a buffer, it was no longer powerful enough to cause significant damage to the Mecha.

The only problem was the final missile, which was aimed at the rear of the convoy.

Atop that Armored Vehicle was Roger, piloting his Speed Mecha.

But Roger lacked the ability to intercept the missile from a distance. He could only grit his teeth, raise his Giant Axe to block, and brace for impact.

BOOM!

With a violent roar, the heavy Armored Vehicle was nearly flipped by the intense shockwave. The Mecha standing in front of it was sent flying for dozens of meters, crashing through several buildings on the opposite side of the street before finally coming to a stop.

Though battered, the Mecha had survived. The Giant Axe had absorbed most of the damage. While various parts of the Mecha were damaged to different degrees, it hadn’t lost its combat effectiveness.

This all sounds slow in the telling, but from the moment the missiles launched to the moment the team intercepted them, everything happened in less than half a second.

And only then did the Purgatory Bomb’s payload finally rain down from the sky.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A chain of fire and shockwaves turned the convoy’s position into a living inferno. Several Mercenaries who couldn’t dodge in time were hit by the shockwave from one explosion and thrown into the air.

Before they could even hit the ground, they were struck by the shockwave of another blast. Caught in the chain of explosions, their bodies were torn apart like rag dolls.

This single wave of attacks killed three Mercenaries on the spot, and more than ten were injured.

"Counterattack! Launch all the Bee Bombs! Raze those buildings to the ground!" Having weathered the first wave of the assault, Fang Tianhe’s furious roar echoed over the comms channel.
