Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 336: Everything is Ready

Lin Xinghai stared at the increased Strength Attribute on his system panel. It took him a full five minutes to calm his emotions.

This success didn’t just mean that he could build an unbelievably solid foundation for his body during his time as one of the Optimized.

More importantly, it verified the feasibility of this System Technique. If necessary in the future, he could even let the people around him practice the System Technique to help them rapidly increase their strength.

Of course, others’ Perception Power was far inferior to his own. Even if they obtained the System Technique, they wouldn’t be able to practice it at all while they were among the Optimized.

But Lin Xinghai had a feeling that the System Technique wasn’t just usable during the Optimized phase. He suspected that even in the Blood Qi Realm, or even higher Realms, this technique could be used to continuously strengthen the body.

Naturally, even if he planned to teach this technique to those around him in the future, he would only consider it when he was strong enough to control any situation.

As these thoughts ran through his mind, Lin Xinghai stood up and began to move his body, easing the pain brought on by the strengthening process.

Liu Miaomiao, who had been standing guard by his side, saw this and immediately asked with concern, "Ah Xing, how did it go? Did the High Level Gene Medicine Liquid work?"

"Yeah, it worked. And the effect was even better than I expected," Lin Xinghai replied with a smile, having nothing to hide.

But as he smiled, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily from the pain.

"Ah! What’s wrong?" Liu Miaomiao had been happy to hear Lin Xinghai’s words, but when she saw the strange expression on his face, she quickly asked in a worried tone.

"It’s nothing, just a little sore. I’ll be fine after some rest." Lin Xinghai waved his hand, signaling for Liu Miaomiao not to worry.

Of course, if it were just pain, Lin Xinghai wouldn’t have been too concerned. What he was worried about, however, was his meridians.

Although the Blood Qi Power refined from the High Level Gene Medicine Liquid was already very pure, it was still far from comparable to what the system provided.

If the purity of the system’s Blood Qi Power was 100%, then the purity of this High Level Gene Medicine Liquid could, at best, only reach 80%.

Therefore, circulating this kind of Blood Qi Power through his meridians would still cause a certain amount of damage.

Especially since strengthening his body once required him to run the System Technique for a full hour, the consequences of this damage accumulating bit by bit could not be ignored.

At the very least, Lin Xinghai absolutely did not dare to undergo a second round of body strengthening. He could only wait for his meridians to finish repairing over time before he would dare to attempt the next one.

However, recovering from damaged meridians was not such an easy task.

According to Lin Xinghai’s estimate, it would take at least a day to recover if things went quickly, and possibly two or three days if they went slowly.

At this thought, his brow furrowed slightly. This would significantly delay his progress in strengthening his body.

Seeing Lin Xinghai’s brow furrow, Liu Miaomiao thought he was in pain again and couldn’t help but whisper, "Ah Xing, why don’t I use my Life Superpower to help ease your pain?"

She had made the same suggestion while Lin Xinghai was cultivating earlier, but he had refused.

Lin Xinghai knew that strengthening his body once took too long; Liu Miaomiao’s Superpower simply wouldn’t last. It was better to just let his body slowly adapt to the pain.

But now, hearing Liu Miaomiao’s suggestion again, Lin Xinghai suddenly froze.

"Your Life Superpower can be used for healing... can it heal injuries to meridians?" Lin Xinghai asked, a hint of urgency in his voice.

"I’ve never tried, so I don’t know! Wait, Ah Xing, are your meridians injured?" Liu Miaomiao asked nervously.

"It’s nothing serious, just some minor damage. Even if I ignore it, it’ll heal in a couple of days, but that would greatly slow down the speed at which I can strengthen my body."

"Use your Life Superpower to heal me now. Let’s see if it can also have a healing effect on the meridians," Lin Xinghai said quickly, after offering a word of reassurance.

"Okay! But there’s nothing here for me to extract Life Force from!" Liu Miaomiao said with a sense of helplessness. There had been plenty of plants in the villa before, but here at the sub-base, there was truly nothing.

"Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it." As he spoke, Lin Xinghai picked up his wrist-mounted computer and made a call.

A lack of Life Force? Impossible. The most abundant thing here in Guanghan City was zombies—they were just walking life forms.

In less than ten minutes, a special operations brigade arrived at the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps’ encampment, hauling three entire truckloads of zombies.

Watching the bound zombies being pulled from the Armored Vehicles one by one, Liu Miaomiao couldn’t help but say, "Isn’t this too many? There must be two or three hundred zombies here!"

The corner of Lin Xinghai’s mouth twitched as well. He had just called Zhang Yue and only asked for a batch of live zombies. In his mind, a dozen or so would have been enough for his needs, but he never expected them to bring over two or three hundred.

"Director Lin, there are a total of 256 zombies here. Please inspect them," the captain of the special operations brigade reported after giving Lin Xing a military salute.

"Uh, thank you for your hard work. Help me pull them inside the camp," Lin Xinghai said. He had originally wanted to tell them to take the zombies back, but seeing how much effort they’d gone to, he changed his mind in an instant.

Five minutes later, after seeing off the special operations brigade, Lin Xinghai looked at the 200-plus zombies in the camp’s main hall and felt a headache coming on.

"Ah Xing, what should we do with all these zombies?" Liu Miaomiao asked in a low voice.

"Let’s just leave them here for now," Lin Xinghai said, rubbing his forehead. "We’ll deal with them tonight after Fang Tianhe and the others get back. For now, use your Superpower to heal me and see if it can repair my meridians."

"Okay!" Liu Miaomiao agreed and immediately mobilized her Superpower.

In just a few seconds, she extracted all the Life Force from an Intermediate Zombie and infused it into Lin Xinghai’s body.

As the Life Force flowed into him, Lin Xinghai immediately felt the lingering pain in his body vanish in an instant, replaced by a comfortable sensation that spread throughout his entire being.

Of course, Lin Xinghai’s focus was still on the meridians inside his body. He was soon overjoyed to discover that the somewhat damaged meridians were repairing themselves at a visible rate.

In just a few dozen seconds, the damaged meridians had fully recovered. Lin Xinghai even had a feeling that his meridians now seemed tougher than before.

Seeing such a remarkable effect, he was naturally overjoyed.

With the problem of his meridians solved, Lin Xinghai wasted no more time. He immediately returned to his room, resumed using the System Technique, and began a new round of body strengthening.

It was worth noting that the concentration of Blood Qi Power contained in the High Level Gene Medicine Liquid far surpassed that of the Intermediate Gene Medicine Liquid, and even exceeded the Blood Qi Power provided by the system during strengthening.

Therefore, after completing one round of strengthening just now, the Blood Qi Power remaining in his body was still enough for him to complete another.

In other words, the 50 bottles of Genetic Medicine Liquid he had purchased were enough to push his body to its limit, and there would even be quite a bit left over.

For Lin Xinghai, everything was now in place. He could begin his frenzied path of improvement.
