Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 136 - 135: Fierce Battle

At Fang Tianhe’s command, a honeycomb-like device on the first Armored Vehicle opened, and one by one, fist-sized metal bees were activated.

BZZZZZ!

Over a hundred bees flew out from the hive. The metal bees’ top speed wasn’t particularly fast, but they were extremely agile. Instead of flying high in the air, they hugged the ground, using obstacles for cover as they rapidly closed in on their target.

These Bee Bombs excelled at traversing complex battlefields to reach an enemy’s core position before detonating.

The explosive power of a single Bee Bomb was at least five times that of a Hand Cannon Bullet. A swarm this large was more than enough to level the entire area occupied by the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps.

But the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps wasn’t about to sit back and wait for death. They had more advanced scanning equipment and spotted the Bee Bombs instantly.

Instantly, countless muzzle flashes erupted from between several buildings. A hail of bullets from the spitting muzzles formed a web of firepower, and soon, one Bee Bomb after another was shot out of the air.

In addition, ten spider-shaped mechanical creatures emerged from the buildings.

Each Mechanical Spider was the size of a calf—and that was without factoring in their limbs, which were over two meters long. With them included, each Mechanical Spider stretched over five meters in length.

Each Mechanical Spider’s abdomen concealed a small-scale Electromagnetic Railgun. In addition, the tips of their limbs were as sharp as swords.

Clearly, these Mechanical Spiders were killing machines, equally proficient in both ranged and close-quarters combat.

"What generation of mechanical weapons are these?" Fang Tianhe demanded over the comms channel after witnessing the scene.

"Armor-Piercing Bullets are only scratching their armor. They must be 3rd generation," one of the Mercenaries who specialized in military hardware immediately replied.

Lin Xinghai saw it as well. When their side returned fire, regular bullets simply ricocheted off the Mechanical Spiders, causing no damage whatsoever.

Even Armor-Piercing Bullets only left thumb-sized craters, and such superficial damage did nothing to impede the Mechanical Spiders’ movement.

By his estimation, even if they targeted the more fragile limbs, it would take at least ten Armor-Piercing Bullets hitting the exact same spot to sever one.

But the Mechanical Spiders had eight limbs. They would have to destroy more than half of them just to immobilize one.

Destroying an entire Mechanical Spider would be even more difficult, and they were out of time.

At their current speed, the Mechanical Spiders would charge into their formation and begin a massacre in a dozen seconds at most.

If he could see this, Fang Tianhe certainly could as well.

"Ten 3rd-generation mechanical weapons... The Morgan Conglomerate really spared no expense!" Fang Tianhe said, grinding his teeth. The Defense Power of machines at this Level was on par with a Mecha.

Even if he personally piloted his Mecha, he couldn’t take out a single Mechanical Spider in under half a minute.

And given the current battlefield situation, if he were tied up for several minutes, there was no telling what might happen.

Furthermore, all mechanical weapons came equipped with self-destruct mechanisms. If he failed to stop them and let these Mechanical Spiders breach their formation, the losses would be catastrophic.

"Change the Bee Bombs’ targets! Lock onto those Mechanical Spiders and blow them to bits!" Fang Tianhe finally ordered, resigned.

Of the hundred-plus Bee Bombs that had rushed the enemy, only 68 remained after flying through the enemy’s curtain of fire.

As the command was issued, they all changed their trajectories and dove toward the Mechanical Spiders.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of explosions erupted, and the ten Mechanical Spiders were engulfed in shockwaves and flames.

The ground instantly collapsed, and entire rows of houses on either side toppled.

When the flames gradually died down, only two of the ten Mechanical Spiders were still mobile. Even then, they were so severely damaged that they clearly no longer posed a threat. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Shen Han, you finish off the remaining Mechanical Spiders, then provide cover. I’m going over to destroy their cloaking device. If we keep fighting like this, we’ll be at too great a disadvantage," Fang Tianhe ordered grimly.

Hearing Fang Tianhe’s words, a look of sudden understanding dawned on Lin Xinghai’s face. He had thought it was strange how the enemy’s attacks—whether from missiles, Mechanical Spiders, or Firearms—all seemed to appear from thin air. From start to finish, they hadn’t seen a single member of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps.

Now it all made sense. The enemy must have a powerful jamming device, combined with optical cloaking equipment, that allowed them to remain undetected.

This advantage allowed the enemy to hold all the cards. One could only imagine the disadvantage they would be at, even in a simple standoff, if they couldn’t see their opponents.

"Commander, you’d be too obvious a target in your Mecha. Leave this to me! Get everyone ready. The moment I destroy their optical cloaking device, launch an all-out assault. We need to catch them completely by surprise," Lin Xinghai said over the comms channel.

At the same time, he swapped the magazines in his two Firearms for ones loaded with Armor-Piercing Bullets. Then he leaped from the Armored Vehicle and, using the buildings for cover, began to rapidly advance on the enemy’s position.

Fang Tianhe wanted to object the moment he heard Lin Xinghai’s words. To him, the plan was far too dangerous.

Setting aside whatever other powerful weapons the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps might have, their four Mechas alone were more than Lin Xinghai could handle.

But after a moment’s hesitation, he said nothing, choosing instead to put his faith in Lin Xinghai.

After all, even if he charged in himself, he wasn’t confident he could destroy the device. More importantly, however, he believed in Lin Xinghai’s ability to work miracles.

Having made his decision, he immediately began making arrangements, ordering everyone to prepare for an assault.

As for Lin Xinghai, he had already reached another street and was advancing rapidly.

’The buildings on the street block their line of sight, so at least the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps won’t immediately notice my movements. Of course, they have detection equipment, so it’s impossible to stay hidden for long. I have to be fast.’

He activated his Phantom Body Technique, and his Speed instantly shot up to 120 points. However, he held off on using his Superpower for the time being.

’Approaching at this speed, even if they spot me, will make them wary, but they won’t consider me a major threat.’

’If I went all out, they’d probably send a Mecha to intercept me the moment they found me.’

’Their carelessness is the key to achieving my objective.’

He crossed half of the 500-meter distance in just a few seconds. By this point, his Perception Power was already able to cover the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps’ position.

Just as he’d suspected, while the enemy’s equipment could jam their own side’s scanners and even achieve optical invisibility, it couldn’t block his Perception Power.

This was the greatest advantage he was counting on. After all, while everyone else was essentially blind when fighting the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps, he was different.

By the time he was within 100 meters, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps finally seemed to react, sending out a combat squad to intercept him.

But by then, it was too late.
