Chapter 269 Abnormal Situation

During these 7 days, it is not only the First Brigade that has improved, but almost all the mercenary groups have made rapid progress.

After all, the Mercenary Guild has spent a lot of money on this mission. As long as these mercenary groups do not seek death and take steady steps, they will definitely earn a lot of points.

Therefore, during these 7 days, almost every mercenary group has added some new weapons, more or less.

But overall, the combat power of each mercenary group has increased by at least 30%, and some have even reached 50%.

As for the First Brigade, it goes without saying that those first-level mercenary groups have doubled their combat power.

After all, other mercenary groups have only improved their weapons, but the mercenary groups of the First Brigade have also improved their marksmanship.

At the same time, after a week of advancement, they have now advanced a full 13 kilometers and are not far from the industrial park.

This progress is a little faster than the military expected. If they maintain this speed, it is estimated that they will be able to open a safe road to the industrial park in two days.

Of course, the above are all good news, but there is also bad news.

First of all, the casualties. In the past 7 days, even the casualties of the first battalion have exceeded 100 people. As for other battalions, let alone, some casualties have exceeded 800 people.

Of course, this sounds a bit scary. After all, there are 1,000 people in a battalion, and 800 casualties sound crippled, but in fact it is not the case.

The military has made full preparations at the base camp.

As long as they can go back alive, they can receive the best treatment as soon as possible. As for those with minor injuries, they can recover within a day.

So these casualties, injuries are only secondary, and the important thing is the number of deaths.

As for the first battalion, as of today, more than 20 people have died. As for other battalions, the vast majority of deaths have exceeded 200 people.

The death rate of 20% can be said to be quite high, but the mercenaries who came to participate in this event were mentally prepared. In addition to the extremely generous rewards, the major mercenaries had no complaints.

In addition to the casualties, Lin Xinghai paid more attention to another problem, that is, the mutant zombies.

It was not that there were more and more mutant zombies. On the contrary, from the third day, he found that the number of mutant zombies he encountered began to decrease.

By the fifth day, he had not seen a single mutant zombie.

Obviously, these mutant zombies have reacted.

After all, the mutant zombies have already had preliminary intelligence, and they are not without communication. It would be strange if they didn't notice so many mutant zombies died here.

If these mutant zombies disappeared simply because of fear, there would be no problem.

But if not, there might be big trouble.

And today, on the seventh day of the zombie eradication, Lin Xinghai found some abnormalities.

The mutant zombies that had not been seen for two days appeared again.

This time, they did not appear alone, at least in groups of three or five.

And he didn't get close, just watching from a distance.

Everyone knew that the more this happened, the more wrong it was.

"That's all for today, let's go back!" Lin Xinghai looked at the time and ordered in the communication channel.

As Lin Xinghai spoke, the convoy quickly turned around and drove back. At this time, the mercenary leaders seemed to relax and began to talk and laugh while counting the gains from this mission.

Lin Xinghai's perception spread. After seeing this scene, he hesitated a little and said, "There is one more thing. I said before that those mutant zombies are abnormal."

"I feel that something is going to happen, and it should be in the next one or two days, so it's best not to save the points you have accumulated. Go and change your weapons and convert them into combat power as soon as possible."

"This... Captain Lin, is it serious?" A mercenary leader asked reluctantly.

He has a sum of points in his hand, but he plans to recruit new members after returning to the shelter.

And for their first-level mercenary groups, too high-end weapons are actually not very cost-effective. It is better to spend it on recruiting talents.

"Either it's fine, but if something goes wrong, it's not a question of how serious it is, but whether it will be destroyed."

"Of course, these are all my guesses, you can believe it or not, but if force majeure really happens, the strength is too weak, and you may not be able to escape. For example, the engine of the armored vehicle should be replaced, and the outer armor can be replaced with better ones if conditions permit." Lin Xinghai reminded.

He never dared to underestimate Guanghan City. There are too many zombies here, and once something happens, it will never be a trivial matter.

Lin Xinghai's words were like pouring a basin of cold water on the heads of the mercenary leaders.

In the past few days of getting along, Lin Xinghai has always given them the impression that he is calm, as if nothing can stump him.

This time, Lin Xinghai actually said so seriously that no one dared to ignore it even if it was just a guess.

With Lin Xinghai's reminder, there were some commotions in each mercenary group, even the Lietian Mercenary Group was no exception.

"Axing, is it really that serious?" Fang Tianhe asked.

"I don't know. It may be nothing, or it may be more serious than what I said, so we have to make some preparations here. Lao Fang, when you go back, you can buy ten individual missiles and fifty beehive bee bombs from the military."

"If something serious happens, I may act alone at that time. You need to be able to face mutant zombies alone." Lin Xinghai said.

"Okay, I understand." Fang Tianhe nodded.

"By the way, when will the newly purchased mechas and armored vehicles be delivered?" Lin Xinghai asked again.

Just yesterday, Liu Miaomiao's gene optimization reached 60%, officially breaking the second gene lock. Lin Xinghai lent his mecha to the other party to drive for a while, but the result was beyond his expectations.

Liu Miaomiao's life control ability, after being amplified by the mecha, burst out with a terrifying harvesting ability.

Within a 50-meter range centered on the mecha, those intermediate zombies and ordinary zombies had no resistance at all. In less than a second, their vitality was drawn out.

Even high-level zombies can only survive for three seconds within the range of Liu Miaomiao's ability.

What's more terrifying is that in the process of being drained of vitality, the opponent's combat power will be greatly affected, and the longer the time, the lower the combat power.

It is completely conceivable that even if Liu Miaomiao can only exert 50% of the combat power of the mecha now, as long as she cooperates with this life control ability, she will not be afraid of those mutant zombies.

In particular, if this ability is used to assist and contain the enemy, the effect it can play is no worse than Fang Tianhe.
