The battle ended, and the various rcenary Corps excitedly began to clear the battlefield. Elental Crystals were quickly collected one after another.
The two zombie hordes had totaled over 500. Even split evenly, it was a considerable amount for each rcenary Corps.
Beyond the haul, what excited them more was the battle itself. It should have been an arduous fight, but they never expected it to end so easily.
More importantly, not a single mber had suffered even a minor injury throughout the entire battle, as the zombie horde couldn’t even breach the formation’s outer defenses.
Once the initial excitent died down, one of the rcenary Corps Leaders suddenly proposed giving ten percent of their corps’ Elental Crystal earnings to the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps as a gesture of gratitude.
His proposal was quickly t with enthusiastic agreent from the other rcenary Corps Leaders.
On one hand, this was because the mbers Lin Xinghai had dispatched were an enormous help to every rcenary Corps. The resulting boost to their inco was worth far more than a re ten percent.
On the other hand, with the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps’ own inco greatly reduced after sending mbers out, the other corps were worried. They feared that if Heaven-Sundering’s earnings didn’t et expectations, Lin Xinghai might recall the mbers he had dispatched.
For these reasons, the rcenary Corps Leaders quickly reached a consensus and inford Lin Xinghai of their decision.
Lin Xinghai looked surprised when he heard the news. He hadn’t expected these rcenary Corps to learn to return a favor so quickly.
Naturally, it would be rude to refuse such a good offer, so he accepted all the Elental Crystals the rcenary Corps sent over.
This way, not only did the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps not suffer a loss from sending out 32 mbers, they actually made a huge profit.
Besides, this kind of mutually beneficial arrangent would only strengthen their cooperation.
"Since everyone is willing to give us ten percent of their inco, allow to offer you all another great gift in return."
"In a bit, you can have the sharpshooters with better Gun Technique in your corps shadow the mbers I sent over. I’ll instruct my people to offer your mbers so pointers while they’re out hunting Zombies," Lin Xinghai said with a smile, looking at the group of rcenary Corps Leaders who had personally delivered the Elental Crystals.
After hearing Lin Xinghai’s words, even leaders as composed as them couldn’t help but let out a collective gasp of astonishnt.
Everyone understands the principle of "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifeti." Naturally, they wanted to learn how to fish.
But Gun Technique was the very foundation of most rcenary Corps’ survival. Most corps would guard it jealously; who would ever be willing to teach it to others?
That’s why Lin Xinghai’s offer elicited such a strong reaction from them.
It wasn’t just the First Level rcenary Corps Leaders. Even Chen Tianlei, a Second Level rcenary Corps Leader, was filled with envy when he heard the news.
Even in his Second Level rcenary Corps, there were only two or three sharpshooters, and these so-called experts were nowhere near the level of an ordinary mber of the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps.
So, after a mont’s hesitation, he steeled himself and spoke to Lin Xinghai over the communication channel. "Captain Lin, could you also send so mbers over to give us pointers on Gun Technique? We are also willing to pay ten percent of our Elental Crystal inco as compensation."
Lin Xinghai wasn’t surprised by the request. In fact, he would have been surprised if Chen Tianlei *hadn’t* seized such a golden opportunity.
So, after brief consideration, he nodded in agreent.
Originally, Lin Xinghai had planned to just send a couple of mbers over, but Xu Haishui unexpectedly volunteered for the task himself.
"Boss, they’re a Second Level rcenary Corps, a major client. How about letting a team leader like go over personally to instruct them on their Gun Technique?"
"Besides, you’ve sent out pretty much all the mbers of my Third Squad. There’s nothing for to do here anyway," Xu Haishui said with a look of selfless heroism as he entered Lin Xinghai’s Armored Vehicle.
However, he was t with Lin Xinghai’s wry, knowing gaze.
"Boss, is there a problem?" Xu Haishui suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
"There’s no problem. But the main reason you want to go is to show off, isn’t it?"
His thoughts exposed, an embarrassed look imdiately appeared on Xu Haishui’s face. "Ahem! Brother Hai, well..."
"Fine, you can go and instruct them personally," Lin Xinghai said with a wave of his hand.
"Huh?" The sudden agreent caught Xu Haishui completely off guard.
"You’re not wrong. The ten percent of Elental Crystals from a Second Level rcenary Corps will certainly be several tis more than what the other corps are offering. Having a team leader like you go and personally instruct them will surely leave them very satisfied," Lin Xinghai said with a smile.
Lin Xinghai quickly relayed the news to Chen Tianlei. When Chen Tianlei heard that the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps was actually sending a team leader to instruct them, he was overjoyed and thanked Lin Xinghai profusely.
Of course, one had to wonder what they would think if they knew that this team leader, Xu Haishui, had a Gun Technique that was actually slightly worse than that of an average mber.
With the battlefield cleared, the massive convoy set off once more. After that battle, the various rcenary Corps now had a clear understanding of their own capabilities.
As a result, in the subsequent battles, they no longer held back. They attacked freely, and their speed of killing Zombies increased significantly.
Furthermore, after several more rounds of combat, the rcenary Corps, at Lin Xinghai’s request, continuously worked on their coordination. They were truly beginning to use the advantages of their formation to annihilate the zombie hordes.
Under these conditions, the corps could now emulate the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps, daring to dispatch a portion of their mbers to collect Elental Crystals even while clearing out a zombie horde.
This was, of course, on the condition that the zombie horde wasn’t too large. Otherwise, they still needed to give it their all just to cope.
But even so, this saved a great deal of Ti, allowing the entire convoy’s rate of advance to more than double.
After nearly another 20 minutes, the First Battalion finally advanced a distance of two kiloters.
According to the route map provided by the military, they should be encountering the first outpost here, a place where they could take a short rest.
However, as Lin Xinghai and the other rcenary Corps Leaders looked from the electronic maps before them to the distant supermarket designated as the outpost, they all fell silent, their expressions a mixture of confusion and doubt.
"Are there other supermarkets nearby? There are no soldiers here, nor any defensive fortifications!" one of the rcenary Corps Leaders muttered under his breath.
"The nearby Zombies show signs of having been cleared out, so this should be the right place. Let’s go take a look. Even if sothing really did happen to the military, they should have left so clues for us," Lin Xinghai said after a mont of thought.
The other leaders had no objections. After everything that had happened, all the rcenary Corps now looked to him for direction.
And so, the rcenary Corps of the First Battalion maintained their tight formation as they rapidly approached the supermarket.
However, when the convoy drew within 50 ters of the supermarket, everyone suddenly felt the scene before their eyes shift.
