Chapter 702 - 672: The Situation on Both Sides

Under normal circumstances, a Rare Level Mecha wouldn’t last three rounds against a Peak of Fourth Level Mutated Zombie. Some, like the "Death Claw," could even slice a Rare Level Mecha in half with a single swipe of its claws.

But when that Rare Level Mecha had an absolute advantage in Speed, the situation was completely different.

The Rare Level Mecha Lin Xinghai was piloting had been heavily modified by Little Fatty. It could be called a masterpiece among Rare Level Mechas; its Speed, Power, and Defense Power had all reached the Peak of its class.

Its Defense was another story, as it was useless against a Fourth Level Mutated Zombie. However, the mecha’s Power and Speed both reached 5,000 points.

Under these conditions, when Lin Xinghai used his Time Acceleration Ability, he could unleash a Speed of 50,000 points.

After all, even an average expert at the Peak of Divine Demon Realm might not possess such Speed.

Unfortunately, neither the "Death Claw" nor the "Giant Arm" specialized in Speed. So even though they were both at the Peak of the Fourth Level, their Speed was only a little over 40,000.

Although the difference in Speed wasn’t huge, it wouldn’t have a major impact in a normal fight. As long as one could seize an opportunity during the opponent’s attack, a direct counterattack was possible. This was especially true in close-quarters combat, where the advantage of Speed was significantly diminished.

But it was different for Lin Xinghai. His Superpower didn’t increase Speed, but Time itself. He had ten times more Time than others. Combined with the aid of his Investigation Technique, his control over the battlefield was simply unmatched.

As long as he made no mistakes, it was impossible for his opponents to find an opening to counterattack.

Furthermore, under Time Acceleration, the mecha’s attack speed was extremely fast. While the vast majority of its attacks had no effect on the two Mutated Zombies before him, the key was the custom-made Mjolnir in his hand!

This Mjolnir was nothing like the one he had back at the Star Shield Shelter.

After hearing Lin Xinghai’s request, Little Fatty had pulled in all the engineers from the Hongyu Group. They researched it for over a week before finalizing the design.

As a result, this Mjolnir was not only of higher quality and sharper, but its Thunder Grid function had also been drastically enhanced.

If each shot from the modified Electromagnetic Railgun had the power of the Divine Demon Realm Early Stage, then the Attack Power of the Mjolnir when unleashing its Thunder Grid could definitely reach the level of the Divine Demon Realm Middle Stage.

Because of the lightning’s strong paralyzing effect, it could even be surprisingly effective against opponents in the Divine Demon Realm Late Stage.

Unfortunately, Lin Xinghai was facing Peak of Fourth Level Mutated Zombies, and the type with relatively high Defense Power at that, which was why it didn’t seem to have much of an effect.

But Lin Xinghai wasn’t worried. Just because it didn’t have a major effect didn’t mean it had no effect at all. After Lin Xinghai attacked just three times, the "Death Claw’s" Speed and reactions began to slow.

This was caused by the lightning’s paralyzing effect.

The current Mjolnir wasn’t like the old one, which could only release the Thunder Grid three times. This version could directly use Mechanical Energy to launch its attacks, meaning Lin Xinghai could release a Thunder Grid of this intensity hundreds of times.

At this rate, the Speed of both the "Death Claw" and the "Giant Arm" would only get slower and slower, until they could no longer threaten him.

But right now, what worried Lin Xinghai more was the battlefield over on Liu Miaomiao’s side.

While Lin Xinghai was tied up with the two Mutated Zombies, the "Hunter" on the other side had already closed to within a kilometer of the convoy.

For a "Hunter," such a distance was practically right on top of them.

The "Hunter," after all, excelled at speed and surprise attacks. Even though it was only at the Fourth Level Late Stage, its Speed had already reached 60,000 points.

If it managed to break through to the Peak of Level 4, its Speed could reach 80,000 points.

Of course, even now, it was still the fastest one on the battlefield.

At such speeds, normal Firearms had no hope of hitting it. Even trying to suppress it with large-scale firepower was next to impossible.

However, from the very beginning, no one had expected to be able to suppress these Fourth Level Mutated Zombies with ordinary firepower.

The most effective method against these Mutated Zombies was, in fact, Superpowers.

So, when this "Hunter" entered the one-kilometer range of the convoy, the mocking look in its eyes instantly turned to one of shock and uncertainty.

It felt the Power in its body being rapidly drained away, and the ability affecting it was so peculiar that all of its defenses seemed utterly useless.

As its strength faded, the "Hunter" could feel itself rapidly weakening.

After Liu Miaomiao broke through to the Body Shaping Realm, the speed at which her Superpower drained an enemy’s Life Force had doubled. When using her full strength, she could basically drain all the Life Force from an Abyssalal Creature in a single second.

And now, with her Superpower boosted by the Rare Level Mecha’s Superpower Amplifier, it was even more terrifying.

A Superpower Amplifier in an ordinary mecha could increase a Superpower’s effect by 10 times, but the one in a Rare Level Mecha could boost it by 20 times.

Now, at full power, Liu Miaomiao could drain all the Life Force from 20 Abyssalal Creatures in a single second.

Of course, the stronger a being was, the more Life Force it would have, and the Life Force within a Fourth Level Mutated Zombie was immense.

However, different types of Mutated Zombies also had different amounts of Life Force.

Life Force could be considered the most fundamental power of any living being, contained within nearly every cell. Therefore, for beings of the same strength, the larger their body, the more vast their Life Force.

Unfortunately for the "Hunter," it was arguably the most compact of all Mutated Zombies. Even a Fourth Level "Hunter" was less than three meters tall.

Therefore, this "Hunter’s" Life Force was at most equivalent to that of an average Third Level Mutated Zombie. At Liu Miaomiao’s current drain rate, she could completely empty its Life Force in two minutes at most.

Two minutes might sound like a long time, but it’s only 120 seconds. The "Hunter" was losing its Life Force at a rate of nearly 1% per second, which was actually a terrifying prospect.

To put it simply, the "Hunter’s" movement speed alone was dropping by nearly 500 points every second.

By the time it closed to within 100 meters of the convoy, its speed had already plummeted by over 2,000 points. Of course, even so, the "Hunter" still held an absolute advantage.

’According to its calculations, it would only take a dozen seconds or so to slaughter everyone here. Then it would no longer have to fear this attack.’

However, since this team comprised all the elite first-year cadets, how could Liu Miaomiao’s be the only Rare Superpower capable of threatening the Hunter?

Almost as soon as the "Hunter" closed within a hundred meters, countless specks of light suddenly appeared around its body. These points of starlight connected with each other, instantly forming thin threads that wove into an invisible net, enveloping it completely.
