Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 332: Great Victory

Just as Wang Yao was in a daze, Xu Haishui’s shout suddenly jolted her awake.

"The Berserk Zombies are here! Everyone, give it your all! Attack with full force!"

The moment he finished speaking, the gunfire from the members fighting up front erupted, their firepower suddenly intensifying.

Curious, Wang Yao took two steps forward, found an opening, and glanced down. Her pupils immediately constricted.

It was a type of Zombie she had never seen before. Its body was crimson, with bulging muscles, yet it was exceptionally agile, able to scale the city wall as if it were level ground.

Moreover, they seemed incredibly durable. Wang Yao watched a Berserk Zombie take a hail of bullets from a rapid-fire machine gun, yet its skin and muscles only split open, oozing a little blood. Its climbing speed didn’t slow in the slightest.

Only Armor-Piercing Bullets could inflict significant damage on them. But these Berserk Zombies were even smart enough to shield their heads with one arm while climbing, making them immensely more difficult to kill.

But Wang Yao had only taken a couple of glances when she heard Xu Haishui’s voice. "Miss Wang, get to the back, quickly! The Berserk Zombies are here, we really can’t guarantee your safety now."

Wang Yao was about to say she could help, but before the words left her mouth, two Combat Robots flanked her and pulled her back.

They then blocked her path resolutely, making it impossible for her to get close to the front again.

This scene left Wang Yao both furious and frustrated, but there was nothing she could do. ’I can really help,’ she thought, ’but Xu Haishui won’t give me a chance.’

Just then, however, on a section of the defensive line just over ten meters away, a crimson figure scrambled nimbly up the wall, braving a hail of bullets.

The Mercenaries firing from that position reacted quickly and fell back. A nearby Combat Robot instantly stepped forward, blocking the crimson figure’s path.

"Damn it! A Berserk Zombie climbed up! Focus fire and take it down now!" Xu Haishui cursed as he rushed over.

He had already activated his Superpower, entering his Werewolf state, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

But he wasn’t the fastest to respond. Wang Yao had undergone a lot of combat training over the past few days. Seeing the Zombie horde earlier had indeed made her nervous and afraid, but she had recovered now.

So when she saw the Berserk Zombie charge up, she was only startled for a moment before snapping back to her senses. Activating her Flame Superpower, she condensed a soccer-ball-sized Fireball in her hand and quickly threw it.

WHOOSH!

Propelled by her Superpower, the Fireball was much faster than the running Xu Haishui, reaching the Berserk Zombie in the blink of an eye.

BOOM!

Following a deafening explosion, a violent shockwave of fire blasted the Berserk Zombie right off the city wall.

Whether the Berserk Zombie was dead or not, the immediate crisis was averted.

Xu Haishui was slightly stunned by the sight. He had to admit that he might need to reassess Wang Yao’s abilities.

After all, she was a Superpower User. Although her Flame Superpower hadn’t reached the Rare Level yet, it was definitely one of the most powerful among common Elemental Abilities.

Coupled with the fact that it was a ranged Superpower, she was undoubtedly better suited for a support role than he was. Wang Yao’s quick action just now had proven that point.

Thinking of this, Xu Haishui no longer hesitated and quickly said, "Miss Wang, how about you take charge of providing support for our Third Squad’s section of the wall?"

"Yes!" Wang Yao nodded without hesitation. She wasn’t about to miss such a rare opportunity to prove herself.

"Just provide ranged support. Please don’t leave the Combat Robots’ protective range," Xu Haishui added after a moment’s thought.

This time, Wang Yao didn’t object. Who would willingly take risks when they could be safe?

Over the next few minutes, although the Berserk Zombies were being killed off one by one, some still managed to climb onto the city wall from time to time.

Moreover, with the addition of these Berserk Zombies, the firepower directed at the High Level Zombies was significantly reduced. As a result, some High Level Zombies also succeeded in climbing up.

This situation undoubtedly placed immense pressure on the Mercenaries defending the wall.

Meanwhile, the section of the wall defended by the Third Squad was now under the least pressure.

After receiving her orders, Wang Yao was completely focused. Whether it was a Berserk Zombie or a High Level Zombie climbing the wall, she could react instantly, using her Fire Superpower to blast them off.

Furthermore, Wang Yao had a knack for combat. After providing support a few times, she gradually began trying to master her Control Power.

When facing Berserk Zombies, she would create a larger Fireball; for High Level Zombies, a smaller one, trying her best to conserve her Superpower.

The other squads of the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps didn’t have a Mercenary with a ranged support Superpower like Wang Yao, so dealing with the Berserk Zombies was more difficult for them, but only slightly.

After all, every veteran member of the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps had decent Gun Technique. Under their suppressive fire, not many Berserk Zombies could make it up the wall.

Even if one did climb up, with the Combat Robots moving in to block them, the Mercenaries could quickly take them down.

But the sections defended by other Mercenary Corps weren’t having such an easy time. Even when a Berserk Zombie was tied up by a Combat Robot, it wasn’t so easy to kill.

If they were even a little too slow, the Combat Robot could be destroyed. If other Combat Robots couldn’t provide backup in time and a Berserk Zombie broke into the ranks of the Mercenaries, it would be a massacre.

What was even more terrifying was the existence of the horrifying Blood-colored Beetles inside these Berserk Zombies.

Wang Yao saw one Berserk Zombie charge into a crowd of people. Even though it was killed quickly, the Blood-colored Beetles inside its body swarmed out, instantly killing seven or eight people.

If the military hadn’t responded in time, using freezer rounds to freeze that section of the wall solid, the death toll would have been far more horrific had the Blood-colored Beetles been allowed to spread.

This scene weighed heavily on Wang Yao’s heart, leaving her with a sense of powerlessness and insignificance. ’Even if I can kill a few Berserk Zombies in time, what difference does it make? My impact on the entire battle is completely negligible.’

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a familiar, continuous roaring sound. Looking up into the distance, she saw dense artillery fire once again blasting a path through the Zombie horde.

Only this time, the bombardment was coming from the outside in. And behind the artillery fire, a Mecha was unhurriedly making its way back.

In the Mecha’s hand, it seemed to be carrying... a Mutated Zombie.

Just as Wang Yao was wondering if she was seeing things, the voice of an excited military officer suddenly boomed from the loudspeakers mounted on the city wall.

"Deputy Director Lin has joined the fray! He has killed two Spitters and two Blood Worms, and even captured one Spitter alive! We no longer need to fear the threat of Berserk Zombies and Blood-colored Beetles! This surprise attack is a great victory!"

Instantly, the entire branch base erupted in deafening cheers, while Wang Yao was once again left dumbfounded.

"So a single person... can actually become this powerful?" she murmured under her breath.

The desire to become stronger burned ever more fiercely in her eyes.
