Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 331: The Shocked Wang Yao

Wang Yao was a little dazed, but the veteran Mercenaries certainly weren’t. After arriving at the Guanghan City branch base, they immediately got out of the vehicles and fell into formation.

Although Wang Yao was a bit slow to react, she knew what she had to do. She quickly followed them out and found her squad.

The Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps had been continuously expanding, and its squads had grown to 10, with 20 people per squad.

After joining the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps, Wang Yao was assigned to the third squad, whose captain was none other than Xu Haishui.

At this moment, Xu Haishui had none of his usual jovial demeanor. With a serious expression, he gave the order to rush to the city wall after they formed up.

Although Wang Yao and the few other new members in the squad were afraid, they could only brace themselves and follow the squad forward.

Climbing the stairs to the top of the wall, Wang Yao felt her scalp tingle when she saw the dense horde of Zombies below, frantically scrambling up toward them.

On this side of the wall alone, there were likely as many as ten thousand Zombies trying to climb up.

Although the Zombies that managed to climb up were quickly shot and killed one by one, their falling corpses became "stepping stones" for the ones behind them, making it easier and easier for the following Zombies to climb.

It was easy to imagine that as time went on, the probability of the zombie tide breaching the wall would undoubtedly increase.

New members like Wang Yao had never seen such a massive spectacle and were incredibly nervous.

But when they saw the other members had already reached the edge of the wall and started firing at the Zombies below, the few new members in the squad could only bite the bullet and go.

However, before Wang Yao could walk over, Xu Haishui stopped her.

"Miss Wang, this is your first time experiencing a scene like this. Just stay back, observe, and get a feel for the atmosphere. If you want some real combat experience, it’s best to join in during the Late Stage of the zombie tide. It’ll be safer then," Captain Xu said politely.

"Uh... that doesn’t seem right!" Wang Yao glanced at the other new members in the squad; they certainly weren’t getting the same treatment.

Although, as Lin Xinghai had said, new members wouldn’t be assigned to the front lines, they were still needed for odd jobs like helping to reload magazines and transport supplies.

"Haha, there’s nothing wrong with it. After all, you’re talented, and you’re also a Superpower User. You deserve to be treated like a prized recruit," Xu Haishui said with a chuckle, even waving over to the logistics personnel from the Military Department.

He had them arrange for two Combat Robots to come over and provide close protection for Wang Yao.

Seeing this preferential treatment, the other new members were a bit envious, but there was nothing they could do about it.

They had long heard rumors that this stunningly beautiful female Mercenary had some sort of connection with Captain Lin.

Xu Haishui didn’t care at all what his subordinates thought. He knew for a fact that Wang Yao and Lin Xinghai really did have a connection. Although he wasn’t sure what kind of relationship it was, he knew it was special.

Therefore, unless it was absolutely safe, he wouldn’t dare let Wang Yao fight.

After accepting Xu Haishui’s arrangement, Wang Yao finally had a real moment to observe her surroundings.

There were many Mercenary Corps on the wall, with one stationed almost every 100 meters. Under these circumstances, their forces were quite sufficient.

She also observed that the Mercenaries assigned to fight on the wall were all elite members with rich combat experience. Faced with the dense swarm of attacking Zombies below, almost all of them could return fire without their expressions changing.

However, as she continued to watch, a strange look soon appeared in her eyes.

She discovered that the other Mercenary Corps, even the Third Level Mercenary Corps, had squads from the Military Department present. They were there both to supervise the battle and to be ready to relay the Military Department’s orders at any time.

In other words, although these Mercenary Corps seemed to be fighting independently, they were actually all under the command of the Military Department.

But the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps was different. Not only had the Military Department not sent any command personnel over, but there was also a logistics squad here, ready to follow their orders at a moment’s notice.

The difference in treatment was by no means small.

In addition, Wang Yao noticed that the other Mercenary Corps would glance their way from time to time, but their gazes held no jealousy or dissatisfaction. Instead, they were filled with joy and anticipation.

Just as she was feeling bewildered, a humming sound suddenly came from behind her. When she turned to look, she saw a silver-white Mecha, propelled by auxiliary thrusters, leap directly over the 20-meter-high city wall and plummet toward the dense zombie tide outside.

Seeing this, Wang Yao’s first reaction was, ’This is a completely suicidal act.’ That was a zombie tide a million strong out there. Forget one Mecha charging out—even ten Mecha going out together would probably just be cannon fodder.

But in the next second, her eyes widened. The more she looked at the Mecha, the more familiar it seemed. Wasn’t that Lin Xinghai’s Speed Mecha?

Just as she was growing anxious and feeling at a loss, she suddenly heard a tsunami of cheers erupt.

She looked around in a daze. Nearly every Mercenary Corps on the wall was cheering in unison. At the same time, they seemed to be shouting something.

At first, the sounds were jumbled, and Wang Yao couldn’t make them out clearly. But gradually, as the shouts unified, a deafening roar arose.

"War God! War God! War God!"

RUMBLE RUMBLE!

Wang Yao was still in a daze, but the roar of cannon fire was already sounding continuously. When she looked down, she saw that the artillery had, at some point, blasted a path straight through the once-dense zombie tide.

And Lin Xinghai’s Speed Mecha followed effortlessly behind the artillery barrage, giving the impression that the million-strong zombie tide was nothing before him.

It was only at this moment that the new members of the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps began to truly understand what it meant to be the First Mercenary Corps.

The sight of tens of thousands of people cheering for them instantly boosted their sense of belonging to their Mercenary Corps by several levels.

But even in her shock, Wang Yao was still quite worried. She asked Xu Haishui, who wasn’t far away, "Captain Xu, why did Ah Xing charge out in his Mecha?"

"The only thing that requires the Captain to personally take action is a Mutated Zombie," Xu Haishui said.

"A Mutated Zombie?" Wang Yao’s expression changed slightly.

"Don’t worry. With the Captain’s strength, he’ll definitely be fine. Besides, this isn’t the first time he’s done something like this. He’ll probably be back in a few minutes with the Mutated Zombie’s head in hand," Xu Haishui said, chuckling reassuringly.

Wang Yao paused for a moment. She certainly understood what "this isn’t the first time he’s done something like this" meant.

At that moment, she finally began to understand why the other Mercenary Corps were so fanatical about Lin Xinghai’s arrival.
