Chapter 679 - 649: Preparations (Part 1)

After listening to Little Fatty, Lin Xinghai stared blankly at him. Only a single word echoed in his mind: ’Rich!’

But he had to admit, if Little Fatty could really provide that much high-quality equipment, the Xinghai Squad’s chances of survival would increase by at least 200%.

For one thing, just having a Mecha for every person would drastically increase their survival rate.

At the very least, they would go from being instantly killed by a Fourth Level Mutated Zombie to being able to withstand an attack.

’Right, just withstand one attack.’ After all, it was impressive enough for an ordinary Mecha to block a single attack.

It might be an incredible waste, but if that single block could save a life, it would be more than worth it.

Besides, the Mecha were just one part of the plan. Lin Xinghai was actually more interested in Little Fatty’s second proposal: using large numbers of Combat Robots and Attack Drones for suicide attacks.

As long as these machines were packed with High-Energy Bombs, their destructive power would be immense.

Even a Fourth Level Mutated Zombie couldn’t completely ignore them.

Under these circumstances, when combined with other firearms, it would be enough to make a Fourth Level Mutated Zombie hesitate. And that hesitation was exactly what Little Fatty and the others needed.

After all, their goal was to escape with their lives, not to hunt a Fourth Level Mutated Zombie.

After running through the plan in his mind, Lin Xinghai nodded. "Alright, we’ll go with your proposal."

"By the way, you’ll be contributing a tremendous amount. Let’s count all the weapons and equipment you’re providing toward your personal contribution score."

Hearing Lin Xinghai’s final words, Little Fatty’s anxiety instantly melted away, replaced by excitement.

If all this equipment was converted into contribution points, it would be worth at least 100 Blood Bags.

That was the equivalent of 1,000 Nine Yang Blood Pills—enough for him to easily break through to the Peak of the Blood Qi Realm and complete his accumulation for that stage.

Filled with excitement, Little Fatty hurried off to make the arrangements. The others didn’t remain idle either, continuously discussing various contingency plans.

For them, the top priority was coordinating their Superpowers.

After all, any student accepted into East Sea Academy had a Superpower of at least the Rare Level.

When a Superpower of that level was enhanced tenfold by a Mecha’s Superpower Amplifier, its power would be truly immense.

Lin Xinghai, however, wasn’t focused on the group’s arrangements. Instead, he was contemplating how he would achieve victory against the various types of Mutated Zombies.

After all, if the Abyssal Plane truly made a move, he would be the one in the biggest trouble.

...

It was already seven in the evening when their vehicle returned to the Military Department headquarters.

The headquarters was now brightly lit. Everything in the military sector seemed normal, only with a heightened sense of vigilance compared to the daytime.

But as the vehicle entered the academies’ designated area, they were shocked to see that less than a third of the students remained.

Moreover, those who were still there all looked to be in a rush, with a steady stream of Armored Vehicles heading out.

"Huh? What’s going on?" Little Fatty asked, surprised by the scene.

"It’s most likely related to the Blood Bags. Now, hurry up and get to your preparations."

After speaking to Little Fatty, Lin Xinghai issued orders to the others. "The rest of you, if you need to make a breakthrough, go back and do it immediately. If you don’t, go out and gather some intel on the current situation."

Thanks to the Xinghai Squad’s high efficiency, their harvest from every expedition was enormous. Inevitably, after absorbing Blood Bags, some members would meet the requirements for a breakthrough.

However, just like Lin Xinghai, they had to wait until they returned to the safety of the Military Department headquarters to actually attempt their breakthroughs.

"Yes, sir!" After receiving Lin Xinghai’s command, the squad dispersed quickly without another word.

Little Fatty in particular, whose task was arguably the most critical, immediately drove an Armored Vehicle toward the Hongyu Group’s factory district.

After watching everyone leave, Lin Xinghai immediately returned to his room to begin his own breakthrough.

Lin Xinghai was now a veteran at breaking through Realms. Today especially, he had advanced all the way from the Early Stage of the Marrow Tempering Realm to its Peak in a single day.

After sitting cross-legged, Lin Xinghai began to rapidly circulate the Blood Qi Power within his body, directing it to assault the bottleneck that had long been present.

With his monstrous foundation and immense Blood Qi Power, such a minor bottleneck posed no hindrance to him. Lin Xinghai didn’t even need to use the system’s breakthrough function; he shattered the bottleneck on his own within a minute and let his body enter its transformation phase.

Since it was only a minor realm breakthrough, the transformation didn’t take long. Fifteen minutes later, the process was complete.

Looking at the system panel, Lin Xinghai felt a renewed sense of confidence in his ability to face a Fourth Level Mutated Zombie.

His Perception Power, in particular, had seen a staggering increase with every breakthrough. His Perception Range had now reached 6,000 meters.

To put it in perspective, this Perception Range surpassed that of a typical Peak Martial Artist of the Body Shaping Realm.

Even an expert at the Early Stage of the Divine Demon Realm only had a Perception Range of around 10,000 meters.

This made Lin Xinghai all the more curious as to why his Perception Power was increasing so dramatically.

After all, the monstrous growth in his other attributes was entirely due to the system’s help, combined with his own constant pursuit of Extreme Enhancement.

But the system didn’t seem to be able to influence the growth of his Perception Power, so for it to skyrocket this quickly... how could Lin Xinghai not be curious?

However, that was a question he wouldn’t find an answer to anytime soon. He could only push the thought aside and refocus on the impending crisis.

With his current Perception Power, even if it was somewhat weakened in the green Poisonous Fog District, he should still be able to scan a range of nearly 5,000 meters.

Being able to survey such a large area meant that even if a Fourth Level Mutated Zombie tried to ambush him, he would detect it well in advance and have ample time to prepare.
