Chapter 647 - 617: Entering the Poisonous Fog District (Part 2)

The moment Lin Xinghai pulled the trigger, a drastic change flickered deep in the eyes of the Abyssal Creatures charging madly toward them.

It wasn’t as if they hadn’t fought human squads before, but under the cover of the green poisonous fog, the enemy’s firearms had difficulty locking on. It was already considered a success if the humans could even manage to hit their bodies at close range.

But now, every single Abyssal Creature felt it—a sense of danger that made them tremble.

Terrified, they all began to desperately twist their bodies to dodge.

Even if they couldn’t evade the bullets entirely, they had to avoid being hit in the head.

But to the horror of these Abyssal Creatures, that feeling of extreme danger clung to them like a shadow; they simply couldn’t shake it.

Or rather, it shifted along with their evasive movements.

And that was indeed the case. Under Lin Xinghai’s Investigation Technique, he could "see" every single evasive maneuver of these Abyssal Creatures with perfect clarity.

And under the control of his Perception Power, the flight paths of the Armor-Piercing Bullets from the Heavy Machine Gun changed to match the movements of the dodging Abyssal Creatures.

PFFT PFFT PFFT!

One after another, the Armor-Piercing Bullets precisely struck the heads of the Abyssal Corpse Ghosts charging at the very front. The keratinous layer they took pride in might have been able to stop rifle bullets.

But against the Armor-Piercing Bullets from the Heavy Machine Gun, it stood no chance. The bullets, carrying immense piercing power, easily tore through the keratinous layer, bored through their hard skulls, and burrowed into their brains.

Instantly, the Abyssal Corpse Ghosts hit by the Armor-Piercing Bullets stiffened on the spot before collapsing to the ground with a series of thuds.

Even the Petrifying Spiders using buildings for cover as they rapidly approached were not spared.

Lin Xinghai fired directly at the walls. Thanks to the power of the Heavy Machine Gun, the Armor-Piercing Bullets still retained at least half of their kinetic energy even after piercing through the walls.

Of course, under normal circumstances, an Armor-Piercing Bullet with some of its power lost wouldn’t be able to kill a Petrifying Spider in a single shot.

After all, in addition to their hard exoskeletons, these Petrifying Spiders could also spit silk to cover their bodies in a layer of Spider Silk Armor.

With this double layer of Defense, their survivability was greatly increased.

But unfortunately for them, under Lin Xinghai’s control, these Armor-Piercing Bullets could curve. As long as he aimed for vital spots like their eyes, their hard exoskeletons were rendered useless.

Once the bullet pierced the outer Spider Silk Armor, the warhead could pass straight through and kill it.

Witnessing this, Lin Xinghai had to admit that a normal Tearing Rifle’s power really couldn’t compare to these Heavy Machine Guns.

Especially a Heavy Machine Gun using Armor-Piercing Bullets; its power was on a whole other level. At the very least, taking out these Abyssal Creatures was no problem at all.

Of course, the price for a Heavy Machine Gun’s Armor-Piercing Bullets was also considerably more expensive.

An Armor-Piercing Bullet for a Tearing Rifle could be bought for 3 Huaxia Coins, but these Heavy Machine Gun Armor-Piercing Bullets cost at least 30 Huaxia Coins each.

The price was a full ten times higher.

But judging by his current combat results, it was all completely worth it.

Besides, as long as his weapon was powerful enough, Lin Xinghai wouldn’t need to deliberately guide the bullets into vital spots like the eyes; just hitting the head would suffice.

This would also greatly reduce his Perception Power consumption.

After all, while his Perception Power was strong, it was at best only comparable to that of an average Body Shaping Realm practitioner. He’d be fine for one or two fights, but in the current situation, the battles were guaranteed to be back-to-back.

Lin Xinghai didn’t dare to consume his Perception Power too recklessly.

The two Heavy Machine Guns had an extremely fast rate of fire. Killing the hundred-plus Abyssal Creatures was a matter of seconds.

In just two seconds, all one hundred-plus Abyssal Creatures had been killed.

If any other squad had witnessed this scene, they would have been shocked beyond belief, but the members of the Xinghai Squad were already used to it.

If Lin Xinghai couldn’t accomplish such superhuman feats, how could he have possibly convinced all the Special Class Students of this year’s cohort to willingly join his squad?

Looking at the field littered with fallen Mutated Zombies, a smile touched the corner of Lin Xinghai’s mouth. Over 100 Mutated Zombies meant more than 1,000 Points. Plus, with his double reward, that was equivalent to 2,000 Points.

This was much easier than killing those Body Shaping Realm Mutated Zombies, but the Points earned were no less.

But the next moment, the smile on his face stiffened.

Because he perceived that the few groups of Abyssal Creatures in the distance, which had been approaching, had turned tail and fled deeper into the green Poisonous Fog after witnessing his overwhelming display of power.

’That’s a huge wave of Points, gone.’

’Should I have held back a little? Not killed them so fast?’ Lin Xinghai wondered, critiquing himself.

At this moment, the other members of the Xinghai Squad also noticed the situation. They had all mastered the Investigation Technique, and while their Perception Range couldn’t compare to Lin Xinghai’s, it was still at least three to four hundred meters, so they had also seen what happened.

"Boss, it looks like you scared them off. What should we do now?" Little Fatty asked timidly.

"Keep pushing forward. Ignore them. We’ll kill as many as we can," Lin Xinghai said calmly. "Our mission is to clear out all the Abyssal Creatures and Mutated Zombies in this area. We don’t need to worry about anything else."

However, he added, "I’ll slow down my rate of fire on the Abyssal Creatures. You all protect yourselves. And don’t drop the ball."

Little Fatty was a bit confused by Lin Xinghai’s last sentence, but when the alarm on the Zombie Detector in his hand went off, he understood.

"It’s a First Level Hunter! Three o’clock, 700 meters out!" Little Fatty shouted a warning.

The green Poisonous Fog also had some ability to interfere with detection. Even though Little Fatty had installed a military-grade detector on the Armored Vehicle, it could only scan a 1,000-meter radius around them.

At the speed a Mutated Zombie could move, that distance was nothing. At best, it gave them an early warning, but not even enough time to fully prepare.

Of course, that little bit of advance notice was more than enough for the Xinghai Squad. They immediately activated their Investigation Technique, extending it in that direction.

Soon, they discovered a Hunter charging toward them at extreme speed.

Everyone was experienced. They knew that against a lightning-fast Mutated Zombie like this, a one-shot kill was essential. Therefore, none of them reacted, acting as if they hadn’t noticed a thing as they continued to walk forward.

But in reality, every one of them had already begun to mobilize the Energy within their bodies, secretly preparing.

The Hunter drew closer and closer: 700 meters... 300 meters... 100 meters... 50 meters... 20 meters.

When the Hunter closed to a distance of 20 meters, they finally made their move.
