Fang Tianhe was delighted to hear Lin Xinghai’s request.
He had actually had the sa idea before, but he hadn’t dared to act on it.
This was because the rcenary Corps’ public funds were considered the collective property of the corps and were subject to the supervision of all its mbers.
If the money was used to buy Genetic dicine Liquid or weapons and ammunition—things everyone needed—then of course there would be no problem.
However, the "High Level Breakthrough Potion" was sothing only a select few were qualified to use, and it was very expensive. This could easily lead to discontent among the ordinary mbers.
His own prestige might not be enough to push it through. If it caused dissatisfaction, it would be difficult to lead the team after Lin Xinghai left.
But now that Lin Xinghai had personally spoken up and established this rule, it was a different matter entirely.
The Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps had only reached its current level because of Lin Xinghai. Never mind him just setting so new policies; even if he took half the money from the public funds, it was doubtful anyone would dare to say a word.
Next, Lin Xinghai and Fang Tianhe discussed a few more issues concerning the rcenary Corps’ developnt until the roars of Zombies were heard in the distance.
Fang Tianhe rely glanced up at the sound of the Zombie roars before ignoring them. Zombies blocking the road were sothing he no longer paid any mind to.
In fact, it wasn’t just him; even the ordinary mbers felt the sa. The Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps was no longer the First Level rcenary Corps it used to be, relying on these wild Zombie hordes to supplent their "household inco."
Just as they were about to ram through them as usual, they heard Lin Xinghai speak up. "Stop for a mont. Leave this batch of Zombies for to teach Gun Technique."
Soon, all the Armored Vehicles received the order and began to slow down in unison.
The Armored Vehicle at the very front broke away from the convoy, drove straight ahead, and was quickly surrounded by a dozen or so Zombies.
However, there wasn’t even a single Interdiate Zombie in this group. How could they possibly damage an Armored Vehicle? No matter how much they clawed and bit, they couldn’t leave a single scratch.
Inside the vehicle, Lin Xinghai had already brought Liu Miaomiao to the weapon rack on the wall. He was personally teaching her how to raise the gun, change the magazine, and aim. Liu Miaomiao, for her part, was nervously morizing his every word.
"So, have you rembered everything I just taught you?" Lin Xinghai asked.
"Mhm! I think so," Liu Miaomiao said, a little nervously.
It couldn’t be helped. Outside, Zombies were continuously attacking the Armored Vehicle. It would be strange if she weren’t nervous, being her first ti in such a situation.
"You need to get used to this atmosphere. It’s still safe right now. The real danger begins when we enter the city," Lin Xinghai comforted her. This was also why he had the convoy stop.
"Alright, co over to the firing port. Just aim for the Zombies’ heads and shoot. When you fire, pay attention to the recoil. You won’t be used to it at first, so the muzzle will jump quite a bit. You’ll need to re-aim after every shot," Lin Xinghai explained, personally demonstrating how to fire.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
After that, it was Liu Miaomiao’s turn to dutifully practice her shooting.
In the Armored Vehicles behind them, the crowd of rcenaries watched this scene in silence, their hearts filled with a complex mix of emotions.
"Why is the difference between people so huge!"
"On my first mission, forget about live combat, they wouldn’t even let touch a gun. I had to spend three days picking up Elental Crystals before I was even allowed to handle Firearms."
"And back then, as a rookie, I only got ten bullets per mission. Once they were gone, they were gone. I had to think for ages before taking a single shot," Xu Haishui said sourly.
"Well, it’s because you’re not a girl!" Roger said.
"Being a girl wouldn’t help him. He’s so plain-looking, and on top of that, he has a D Level Genetic Assessnt. There’s no comparison," Wu Yan added, twisting the knife.
"Damn it! You guys act like your treatnt was so much better. When you started as rcenaries, weren’t you all begging and pleading for soone to teach you Gun Technique?" Xu Haishui retorted.
Roger and Wu Yan fell silent. It was true. When they were learning Gun Technique, they hadn’t been much better off than Xu Haishui.
Their only advantage was their slightly higher Genetic Assessnt, which only increased the number of bullets they received per mission from 10 to 20.
Other than that, there was no difference. They all had to figure it out and practice on their own. Only after their Gun Technique improved could they receive normal treatnt.
But now, not only did Liu Miaomiao have unlimited bullets and the best possible practice environnt (the entire rcenary Corps could only watch, with no one to steal her Zombie kills), she even had a Gun God Level instructor personally guiding her.
How could such conditions not make people envious?
However, Liu Miaomiao didn’t let Lin Xinghai down. After taking down a group of Zombies, she was already able to aim and fire proficiently.
This rate of progress and her aptitude for Gun Technique, while not comparable to Lin Xinghai’s, surpassed that of most rcenaries. It was at least on the sa level as Roger’s.
"Alright, move out!" Lin Xinghai ordered once all the Zombies had been killed. They didn’t even bother to collect the Elental Crystals. The Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps had already grown beyond caring about a dozen or so Elental Crystals.
Over the next stretch of the journey, the convoy encountered five more waves of Zombies, all of which beca practice targets for Liu Miaomiao.
At first, Liu Miaomiao felt a little embarrassed seeing everyone waiting for her to practice her Gun Technique.
But after Lin Xinghai said, "This is just the standard treatnt for new recruits," she no longer felt any psychological burden.
The mbers in the sa Armored Vehicle who heard this were on the verge of tears. ’What kind of "standard treatnt for new recruits" is this?’
Even Fang Tianhe’s mouth twitched. Despite his B Level Genetic Assessnt, he had never received such treatnt when he joined other rcenary Corps in the past.
Nevertheless, everyone had to admit that Liu Miaomiao’s talent was better than theirs. After five waves of Zombies, her shooting form was already excellent. Coupled with the coordination of the Optimized, she could now basically land a headshot on any Zombie within 10 ters with a single bullet.
With Gun Technique like that, she could already barely qualify to join the combat roster.
One had to rember that it had only been two hours since they set out, and for much of that ti, there were no Zombies to practice on.
So, seeing Liu Miaomiao’s obvious progress, the mbers who were initially resentful began to let it go.
Especially as they drew closer and closer to Guanghan City, they no longer had ti to dwell on such things. Everyone was performing a final check on their weapons.
Faced with this city, known as the rcenary Restricted Area, no one dared to be careless.
As they approached Guanghan City, they could see hordes of Zombies wandering in packs along the city’s edge from far away.
The size of these hordes was at least 50, and groups of over a hundred were common.
Within the three-kiloter range of the Zombie radar, the number of Zombies already exceeded 10,000.
Moreover, the proportion of High Level Zombies was extrely high. For roughly every 10 Zombies, there were at least 4 Interdiate Zombies and 1 High Level Zombie.
Seeing this, many of the mbers swallowed nervously.
The downtown areas of the cities where they had carried out missions before were never this terrifying. It was hard to imagine what kind of scene would await them once they went deeper into Guanghan City.
It wasn’t just the ordinary mbers; even the higher-ups like Fang Tianhe and Roger wore grim expressions.
