Chapter 54: Ghost Soldiers

An hour later, Lin Yun was already sitting in an open-top jeep. Purple Rose was constantly polishing a shiny dagger beside him.

“Mu Mu, do you like my darling?” Purple Rose flicked her dagger, making a buzzing sound.

One-eyed looked unhappy and said with a cold snort, “Kid, don’t drag us down when the time comes. I don’t have time to save you.”

Lin Yun ignored One-eyed’s provocation and glanced at the captain, who was wearing his headphones, closing his eyes, putting his palms together, and muttering to himself.

“That’s the way he is. You don’t have to be surprised.” Drunkard, driving the car, turned back and whispered to Lin Yun.

After a long, bumpy ride, the jeep drove to a sand dune and came to a stop. The captain took off his headphones and slowly stepped out of the vehicle.

“If you go any further, you’ll be out of Skynet range. Don’t make any rash moves. Listen to the commands.”

After he said that, he went forward.

Lin Yun carried many weapons and ammunition and slowly followed behind the squad.

“Since you are in charge of logistics, take these things. This way, the main combatants can save energy. Sometimes, a little detail can determine the success or failure of a battle,” Drunkard explained to Lin Yun in a low voice, patting him lightly on the shoulder.


Lin Yun nodded his head and expressed his understanding. His body condition had reached Level 5, so these weapons and equipment were not difficult to carry.

Everyone walked quietly, gradually approaching the ambush site. The captain slowly raised his right hand and everyone stopped.

“One-eyed, scout the environment.”

“Roger!”

One-eyed’s electronic eye suddenly turned, emitting a red light which constantly scanned the nearby sand dune.

“Reporting, captain. No abnormality found. There are no signs of an ambush in this area.”

The captain nodded and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, enter the ambush site, disguise yourself and set up your weapons.”

Very soon, everyone set up their weapons into the sandy soil. They slowly lay down on the sandy soil and waited for the enemy to arrive.

Such a wait was long and boring. Lin Yun stared blankly at the empty sand dune, letting his imagination run wild to pass time. Suddenly, the sandy soil moved slightly and a small scorpion emerged from it, seemingly looking for food. Lin Yun slapped it down and flattened it. He flicked the scorpion’s corpse to the front of the squad.

Bored, One-eyed looked at a sand dune in the distance and laughed softly. “Hehe, it’s actually the Snow Wolf Squad that’s working with us. Their captain Lone Wolf is still greeting me.”

“Don’t talk. They’re coming.” The captain instructed softly and everyone quieted down. Not long after, Lin Yun felt a slight tremor from the sand dune.

A fleet could already be faintly seen in the distance. Two sand dune tanks in front of it paved the way, while a few delivery trucks behind it slowly moved forward. The fleet was still far away, but Lin Yun could already feel the tension before the war.

Lin Yun’s heart moved and triggered Stacking Art.

Sensory Elevation!

It actually triggered a tripled Sensory attribute.

The situation of the distant fleet was reflected in Lin Yun’s eyes. He clearly saw the long laser muzzles of the sand dune tank and the demon soldiers with their hands on the steering wheel in the truck cabin.

All of a sudden, a strange sense of crisis arose in his heart. It seemed that there was a bloodthirsty beast slowly approaching him.

“What’s going on? I now have elevated my Sensory and am reasonably safe from illusion. Where does this danger come from?”

Lin Yun looked around at the serious people around him with a face full of doubts.

“Mu Mu, you’re all nervous the first time you go to war. You’ll be fine when you get used to it.” Looking at Lin Yun’s tightly furrowed brow, Drunkard whispered to comfort him.

“Don’t talk. The enemy is approaching,” the captain said in a deep voice, his eyes staring at that fleet.

Strangely, Lin Yun couldn’t feel anything unusual at all. Whether it was a visual, auditory, or spiritual exploration, he hadn’t found anything unusual. However, the feeling of danger didn’t disappear but instead grew stronger. It seemed that there was an invisible ghost rapidly approaching him.

“Is it really my imagination?”

The ten seconds of Sensory Elevation ended quickly, and Lin Yun could no longer sense that danger approaching. Instead, it made him even warier. Being unable to sense it was only because his sensory was not high enough!

“I’ve contacted the three squads. On the count of three, we’ll open fire. Don’t open fire in advance and expose the target,” the captain said softly, glancing at Lin Yun.

“One!”

Lin Yun picked up the machine gun and looked around alertly.

“Two!”

Suddenly, Lin Yun’s eyes narrowed. The scorpion corpse that had been flicked to the front of the squad had actually disappeared! He quickly pointed in the direction of the scorpion and triggered the machine gun in his hand.

“Da da da…”

What Lin Yun held in his hand was the worst firearm weapon, equipped with ordinary metal bullets. As he triggered the machine gun, strong gunshots rang out and countless bullets fell to his side.

“The worst fears have still happened. You brat is holding us back. You firing a second earlier will completely ruin our ambush!” One-eyed turned his head sharply, roaring loudly and angrily.

However, he realized that he wasn’t getting a response from anyone. Thus, he turned his attention to the captain and asked in confusion, “Did I say something wrong?”

The captain’s eyes carried a hint of astonishment, staring at the front of the squad. Following the captain’s gaze, One-eyed turned around and was stunned.

A dead man was lying in front of everyone, only three meters away from them.

This man was wrapped in white clothes all over his body and with a strange helmet on his head. He was lying on the ground with blood dripping from his chest and eyes filled with horror. He also held a strangely shaped long gun. This long gun was just like a shortened fishing rod and had a barrel that was two meters long.

Without a doubt, this person was the one killed by Lin Yun.

“Could this be…”

Seeing this soldier that had strangely appeared, the captain’s eyes suddenly narrowed and he shouted, “One-eyed, three o’clock direction! Purple Rose, twelve o’clock direction! Don’t use energy bullets. Snipe the enemy with mechanical bullets!”

“Roger!”

They quickly brought up their sniper rifles but found that the ambush site of the ally squad in the distance had become a mess. Countless people were violently splattered with blood, dying in horror. It seemed that two completely invisible people were shooting at their allies. Soon, all the allies were dead. Two people also wearing white clothes with strange long guns showed up.

“Boom! Boom!”

One-eyed and Purple Rose fired almost simultaneously, and those two men were suddenly shot in the head.

“Captain, who are these people?” One-eyed wiped off his cold sweat with lingering fear.

“Demon ghost soldiers. Their special clothing can automatically match nearby light and Spiritual Exploration that no one but a Spiritual Master can detect. The special long guns in their hands can absorb energy weapon attacks and recoil in addition to normal attacks.”

“Aren’t they invincible?” Purple Rose asked.

“Their invisibility activation, as well as using the special function of their long gun, consumes Spirit Strength. Therefore, they can’t remain invisible for long.”

Hearing this, One-eyed looked at Lin Yun and asked in confusion, “How did you discover them, kid?”

Lin Yun smiled slightly. “I told you, I’m good at scouting.”

“Yeah, right. Nobody will believe that.” Upon seeing that Lin Yun did not say anything, One-eyed turned his head away disdainfully.

“So, it looks like we’ve probably been discovered by the fleet. Quickly take your weapons and evacuate!” The captain said hurriedly.

“This is bad! The sand dune tanks on the other side have aimed at us and are about to open fire!” One-eyed looked panicked and warned loudly.

“Open fire quickly and destroy their long-range firepower before they open fire!”

“It’s too late! It’s a laser cannon! Get down!”

“Drunkard, I’ll have to pay you back in my next life…”

“Boom!”

An explosion covered all the sounds for a moment.

How fast were laser cannons? The speed of light was approximately equal to 3×108 m/s, and the speed of a laser cannon was only slightly lower than the speed of light. At this speed, even if an ordinary person was hit, they wouldn’t be able to react immediately, let alone dodge.

Therefore, the only way to dodge the laser cannon was to take advantage of it before it fired. Once the laser cannon fired, the end would be already set.


There was no way that this laser cannon under smart lock could miss. The cannon shell directly hit the small sand dune where everyone was hiding.

The laser flashed, and everyone’s expressions were frozen for a moment!

“Huh? I don’t seem to be dead?” Drunkard touched his head, unable to believe it.

“Haha, I’m not dead!” One-eyed shouted happily.

“Thank Lin Yun. He has saved us again.” Gambler’s voice was heard all of a sudden.

Everyone scrambled to look at Lin Yun and saw that he was holding the ghost soldier’s strange long gun in his hand with a pale face. It was obvious that using this weapon had severely depleted his Spirit Strength.

Lin Yun forced a smile and pointed his gun at the distant sand dune tank.

“Boom!”

A white light emitted from the long gun’s muzzle, hitting the distant sand dune tank. Dust and flames flew everywhere, and the two huge tanks were blown up into the sky.

Purple Rose looked at the rising sand dune tank and muttered, “It’s more violent than me.”
