"Brother Lin, no wonder they call you the God of Wealth. The speed at which you make money is truly enviable." Song Yao’s voice ca through the public comms channel, tinged with a hint of envy.
"Yeah! I was thinking about buying that ’Heaven-Opening Axe’ myself, but unfortunately, I didn’t have the funds," Qin Wenbo added, his voice also full of envy.
Of course, it wasn’t that he truly couldn’t afford it. It was just that for people like them, such a weapon wasn’t very cost-effective. It would be better to buy another cha or completely overhaul their existing one.
After all, a powerful weapon doesn’t guarantee massive damage; a lot depends on the wielder’s personal ability.
If Lin Xinghai didn’t possess such extre Speed, his choice might not have been Mjolnir, but rather a custom-built, more powerful Electromagnetic Railgun.
"Haha, you two are too kind. To gather all this equipnt, our rcenary Corps is now swimming in debt!" Lin Xinghai said. Of course, the two biggest creditors were himself and Fang Tianhe.
As ti was tight, the n only exchanged a few casual words before having their rcenaries quickly don their gear, load the weapons onto the vehicles, and prepare to depart.
It was worth ntioning that for this mission, the military had also provided them with equipnt, including man-portable missiles, Bee Bombs, and Plasma Grenades, all in rather considerable quantities.
To give an example, each rcenary Corps received five man-portable missiles.
Of course, upon seeing this, Lin Xinghai and the others felt not joy, but a sense of gravity.
It was a constant reminder that they were about to face the ard forces of the Morgan Conglorate, who would undoubtedly possess similar devastating weapons.
And so, the Three Major rcenary Corps set out in a sowhat heavy atmosphere.
One after another, the Armored Vehicles started up and drove toward the elevator shaft.
With a tacit understanding, all Three Major rcenary Corps left their multi-functional off-road vehicles behind.
According to the plan, they had to cross the entirety of Changping City. Under such circumstances, the Defense Power of the off-road vehicles would be completely insufficient.
Attacks from High Level Zombies, in particular, would likely total an off-road vehicle in just a few hits.
However, even without the off-road vehicles, the combined number of Armored Vehicles from the three rcenary Corps reached a staggering 16, a truly impressive sight.
The convoy took a dedicated elevator to the surface.
Just then, Lin Xinghai’s internal comms crackled to life with Fang Tianhe’s voice. "Ah Xing, you should take full command of this operation!"
Along the way, Fang Tianhe had noticed that neither Song Yao nor Qin Wenbo paid much attention to the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps itself; their focus was solely on Lin Xinghai.
If he held onto the command authority, his suggestions would likely be ignored by those two during combat.
Since that was the case, it was better to just hand command over to Lin Xinghai. Besides, Lin Xinghai had been with the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps for half a month and had already accomplished so many incredible things that his reputation within the corps had long since surpassed his own.
"Alright! I’ll be the temporary commander for today, then." At a ti like this, Lin Xinghai wasn’t going to stand on ceremony, so he accepted the command authority directly.
After leaving the Star Shield Shelter, the Three Major rcenary Corps began advancing at full speed.
Even on the most dilapidated highways, they managed a speed of 120 kiloters per hour.
Before this armored tide, any Zombie that dared stand in their way was simply courting death. The lucky ones might only lose a limb, but most were crushed outright.
Of course, the ones being run over were generally Ordinary Zombies. The more intelligent Interdiate and High Level Zombies would hesitate upon seeing such a massive convoy, and so would even turn and flee.
In less than an hour, the convoy was already approaching Changping City.
Just then, the previously silent comms channel crackled with Lin Xinghai’s voice. "I propose that before we enter Changping City, we should find a way to determine if we’re being followed by anyone from the Morgan Conglorate."
"Brother Lin, do you have a good way to do that?" Qin Wenbo was the first to ask.
"It’s not exactly a great plan, but my idea is to plant a few landmines in so key spots on the main road to test the waters," Lin Xinghai said.
Hearing this, Song Yao and Qin Wenbo were stunned for a mont before breaking into unanimous praise.
The plan was indeed highly feasible. As long as they camouflaged it well, it was very likely that anyone eagerly pursuing them would stumble into the trap.
More importantly, they had nothing to lose by doing this. Whether they detected an enemy or not, they wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
Of course, under normal circumstances, they would never dare to do this, as there were other rcenary Corps operating in the wilds. In that case, they would not only be setting a trap for other rcenaries, but they also wouldn’t be able to confirm if anyone was actually tailing them.
But today, all rcenary Corps had been forbidden from taking on missions. If anyone triggered the landmines, it would have to be soone from the Morgan Conglorate.
Lin Xinghai had only proposed the plan; he didn’t need to worry about the execution at all. Both Song Yao and Qin Wenbo had plenty of experience.
Soon, the other two rcenary Corps dispatched their top demolition experts. Lin Xinghai also had Wu Yan go down to assist, as he was the only one in the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps with the skills to be useful. For Wu Yan, this was also an excellent learning opportunity.
In just three minutes, they planted a total of 10 landmines under the main road. Each mine was wired to dozens of Hand Cannon Bullets. A single detonation would have enough power to send an Armored Vehicle flying.
After activating the mines’ stealth mode, they used special instrunts to restore the terrain. From the surface, not a single trace was visible. Since the military provided these mines, standard detectors wouldn’t be able to find any sign of them either.
Of course, if Lin Xinghai used his Perception Power to scan the area, he could still tell sothing was amiss. But a normal person wouldn’t dare to keep their Perception Power active at all tis like him; it had to be conserved for piloting a cha.
Soon, the convoy continued forward, plunging headlong into Changping City with savage montum.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The sound of impacts rang out continuously. All obstacles in the convoy’s path, whether Zombies or abandoned vehicles, were smashed aside.
Even when collapsed buildings blocked the road, a cha would move ahead to punch a hole large enough for the convoy to pass, or simply blast it apart and stomp it flat, ensuring their path remained clear.
With a full 16 chas in the convoy, they could take turns engaging in groups, allowing everyone to maintain peak combat condition.
Under these conditions, the Three Major rcenary Corps’ speed advancing through the city was barely any slower than it had been in the wilds.
And just as they had advanced nearly five kiloters into the city, they suddenly heard two massive explosions—BOOM! BOOM! In the direction of the main road leading into the city, two small mushroom clouds rose into the air.
