Chapter 700 - 670: The Real Crisis (Part 2)

"Boss, the distress signal is out. What do we do now?" Little Fatty asked anxiously.

"Everyone, get in your Mechas. Retreat in this direction according to the plan. I’ll do my best to buy you time, but if they split their forces to chase you, you’ll be on your own," Lin Xinghai said after taking a deep breath.

Facing a Fourth Level Mutated Zombie, the most Lin Xinghai could do was escape with his life. Even just trying to hold it back would be difficult.

As for resisting it head-on, that was completely out of the question.

While giving these instructions, he was still pulling the trigger, doing his best to help the convoy eliminate more Abyssal Creatures.

But perceiving the Fourth Level Mutated Zombies rapidly approaching, he had no choice but to leave the firing platform, return to the Armored Vehicle, and get inside his personal Rare Level Mecha.

"Ah Xing! You have to be careful," Liu Miaomiao said, filled with worry, as she boarded another Rare Level Mecha.

"You know my abilities. If I want to escape, these Fourth Level Mutated Zombies can’t catch me."

"You’re the ones who will be in more danger. But Instructor Zuo is already on his way, so you have to hold on." As Lin Xinghai spoke, the cockpit door closed, and he immediately piloted the Rare Level Mecha, leaping out.

At the same time, his Time Acceleration Ability activated. Boosted by the Rare Level Mecha’s Superpower Amplifier, it was directly amplified 20-fold, easily and completely enveloping the nearly 10-meter-tall Rare Level Mecha.

Everything around him seemed to slow down, while the blood in his veins began to boil with excitement.

’In fact, I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. I want to see just how far I can push my limits.’

’If possible, I really hope I can take out one or two Fourth Level Mutated Zombies.’

’Of course, it’s fine if I can’t. Even if all three Mutated Zombies attack me at once, I’m confident I can hold them off for a minute or two until Zuo Wenyao arrives.’

So now, he actually started to consider other problems. ’What about the other university teams?’

’I contacted Zuo Wenyao, so a Divine Demon Realm expert will be here to rescue us soon. But what about the other university teams?’

’Faced with a pursuit from Fourth Level Mutated Zombies, they can’t possibly fend them off just by relying on the military’s Mecha units.’

’If a large number of students die, then even if the military wins this war, it can’t be considered a victory at all, because they would have thrown away the future.’

Just as Lin Xinghai was wondering how the military planned to handle the current situation, he suddenly sensed something and looked up toward the sky.

The roar of plane engines sounded from up there again. The transport planes had actually circled back.

No, to be precise, they had been circling high in the sky all along. They had just suddenly lowered their altitude.

When the transport planes descended to an altitude of only 500 meters, figures began leaping directly down from them.

With his Perception Power, Lin Xinghai could clearly "see" that those people were simply jumping. Other than the melee weapons they carried, they weren’t carrying anything else—not even parachutes.

He was genuinely stunned by the scene. An altitude of over 500 meters was equivalent to jumping from a building over 160 stories tall. Even a Body Shaping Realm Martial Artist would have a hard time surviving that.

What surprised him even more was that he couldn’t sense any aura fluctuations from these people.

He had only ever experienced this before with Zuo Wenyao—that was the effect of someone deliberately concealing their aura.

Without a doubt, all of these people jumping from the sky were Divine Demon Realm experts.

He did a rough estimate and concluded that at least 60 Divine Demon Realm experts had jumped into their danger zone.

’From what I understand, the military only sent a total of 100 Divine Demon Realm experts to the front lines, and I’d heard that more than a dozen of them have already died. So where did these 60 Divine Demon Realm experts come from?’

’Besides, if they can deploy 60 Divine Demon Realm experts to a single zone, doesn’t that mean a total of 240 for all four danger zones?’

’I’m afraid that even if all the Divine Demon Realm experts in the entire Hua Country were transferred here, they still couldn’t muster that many people!’

Of course, what Lin Xinghai didn’t know was that his danger zone actually had the highest concentration of elite teams. Nearly half of the top 10 teams were present, so in response, the Abyssal Plane had sent a full half of its Mutated Zombies to this location.

The military’s Divine Demon Realm experts were constantly using their Perception Power to probe underground, so upon discovering this development, they immediately mobilized and sent over half of their own Divine Demon Realm experts.

It was worth mentioning that these new Divine Demon Realm experts had all successfully broken through thanks to the "God Creation Plan."

The number of breakthroughs was just as the general staff had predicted. Once the members of the God Creation Plan re-cultivated the Marrow Tempering Realm to its Peak, they finally experienced an explosive surge in breakthroughs, with nearly 70 people successfully advancing to the Divine Demon Realm.

Thus, when this new group was included, the total number of breakthroughs reached 125.

Under these circumstances, the military naturally had much more flexibility in allocating its forces and directly deployed 60 people here.

Although Lin Xinghai didn’t know how the military had managed it, he undoubtedly breathed a secret sigh of relief.

’The number of Divine Demon Realm experts is still lower than the number of Fourth Level Mutated Zombies, but if they coordinate with each other, and especially if they’ve learned the Life-Sacrificing Strike, they might just be able to win.’

’What’s more, humanity’s firearms aren’t just for show. If used for support, they can also inflict enormous damage.’

Of course, Lin Xinghai didn’t have time to dwell on all this. He quickly turned his gaze to a massive hole 500 meters away.

At that moment, three Mutated Zombies leaped out from it.

After leaping out, they wasted no time, charging straight for Lin Xinghai as if they had already locked onto him.

These three Fourth Level Mutated Zombies clearly possessed overwhelming power, yet when facing a mere Marrow Tempering Realm practitioner like Lin Xinghai, they looked like they were going all-out from the very beginning. They had no intention of toying with their prey whatsoever.

The sight made Lin Xinghai curse inwardly.

However, he discovered that this wasn’t even the worst part.

Before, when they were underground, he could only determine that all three were Fourth Level Mutated Zombies.

But even among Fourth Level Mutated Zombies, there were variations in strength. Just as with Divine Demon Realm experts, the gap between the Early Stage and the Peak was enormous.

Now that the Mutated Zombies had unleashed their auras without reservation, he instantly perceived that the "Death Claw" and the "Giant Arm" were both at a level equivalent to the Peak of Fourth Level.

Even the weakest of them, the "Hunter," was at the Fourth Level Late Stage.

After getting a clear grasp of the enemy’s strength, Lin Xinghai’s face turned green.
