Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 333: The High Level Gene Medicine Liquid Is Delivered

Once Lin Xinghai dealt with the threatening Spitters and Blood Worms, the zombie tide no longer posed much of a threat.

The remaining five Death Claws and Giant Arms didn’t dare attack the branch base under the threat of the Fission Missiles.

So, at that point, the outcome was more or less decided.

Lin Xinghai had originally planned to wait for the Death Claws’ and Giant Arms’ berserk states to subside before charging in for another round of killing.

But before he could act, they retreated on their own.

Then again, it made sense. After all, Lin Xinghai had used over ten High-Energy Bombs in his last charge, severely injuring a Death Claw.

And that was a Death Claw in a berserk state. If it had been in its normal state, Lin Xinghai would have likely taken it out in a single assault.

Combined with the fact that Lin Xinghai had eliminated the Spitters and Blood Worms and still managed to retreat unscathed, he had demonstrated unparalleled combat strength.

It was only natural for the Mutated Zombies to retreat.

With the retreat of these five Mutated Zombies, the zombie tide was as good as over.

The only thing the Military Department had to consider now was how to annihilate the remaining Zombies with the least amount of effort.

The battle ended three hours later.

This time, both the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps and the Mountain and Sea Mercenary Corps made a huge profit.

More importantly, it was an unprecedented training opportunity.

In the mid to late stages of the battle, all the new members were sent to the front lines, and Wang Yao was no exception.

In such a high-intensity battle, everyone’s Gun Technique improved at an unparalleled speed, especially with an expert providing guidance.

During those three hours, Lin Xinghai hadn’t been idle. He used his Perception Power to envelop the defensive lines of both Mercenary Corps, observing each person’s actions.

This way, if any of the members had issues with their shooting, he could know instantly and point out their mistakes in the simplest, clearest terms.

When the great battle ended, the demeanor of the new members had already changed.

Setting aside how much their strength had increased, the broadening of their horizons alone was an intangible treasure.

After all, having experienced a million-strong zombie tide besieging a city, they would see an assault of a mere hundred Zombies as nothing more than a drizzle. Feelings of nervousness or fear would simply not arise.

"You have the best shooting talent I’ve ever seen. You always manage to seize those fleeting opportunities," Lin Xinghai said with a sigh after coaching Wang Yao again. "If you train hard, your Gun Technique will probably surpass Roger’s soon."

"Really? Is it possible for my Gun Technique to one day reach your level?" Wang Yao asked, her face full of anticipation.

"Mm, if you train hard, reaching my current level of Gun Technique shouldn’t be a problem," Lin Xinghai said after some thought.

’Wang Yao really did have the best combat talent he had ever seen. He only had to point out a mistake once for her to immediately correct it. Moreover, she knew how to figure things out for herself during battle.’

’As long as he taught Wang Yao the special Perception Technique, she could probably reach his current level of Gun Technique with another three or four months of training.’

’Of course, his current Gun Technique had only scratched the surface of Intermediate Shooting Skill, so it wasn’t much to speak of. Once he advanced to the Blood Qi Realm and could use the system to raise his Gun Technique proficiency, his skill would be on a completely different level.’

’But there was no need to tell Wang Yao all that.’

As for Wang Yao, she was naturally ecstatic after receiving Lin Xinghai’s affirmative answer. She could feel that her Gun Technique had improved tremendously in just a few short hours under his guidance.

A glimmer of hope rose in her heart—the hope that one day, she could keep up with Lin Xinghai.

"Alright, go get some rest. Life at the branch base isn’t as relaxed as it was in the Shelter. We have to go out and mop up Zombies tomorrow," Lin Xinghai said, gazing at the tens of thousands of remaining Zombies fleeing in the distance.

"Okay!" Wang Yao nodded. She was about to ask Lin Xinghai if he wanted to get a late-night snack together when she saw Liu Miaomiao approaching from a distance. The light in her eyes dimmed slightly.

She forced a smile, then followed the rest of her squad back to the Mercenary Corps’ quarters.

"My, you’re such a dedicated teacher! You coached Wang Yao more times than you coached me just now," Liu Miaomiao said, walking up to Lin Xinghai’s side and pretending to pout.

As soon as they entered the branch base, Liu Miaomiao had assisted Lin Xinghai in hunting Mutated Zombies.

After they returned, while Lin Xinghai was coaching the other members on their Gun Technique, Liu Miaomiao had also been taking the opportunity to practice.

"Ahem! That’s not true. Wang Yao is still new, so she makes more mistakes. Didn’t you see how many times I coached the other newcomers, too? If you don’t like it, I can just coach them less starting tomorrow," Lin Xinghai said with a dry laugh.

"Hmph. Good, you know your place," Liu Miaomiao said, poking Lin Xinghai’s chest with a delicate finger. "But I’m not that petty!"

"We’re leaving in a little over ten days. Who knows when we’ll see Wang Yao and the others again."

"So, for the time we have left, I hope you’ll guide Wang Yao properly. After all, being a Mercenary is an incredibly dangerous line of work."

Lin Xinghai looked at Liu Miaomiao’s lovely face and saw that she wasn’t joking at all, so he nodded.

"Don’t worry! I’ll coach Wang Yao well over the next ten-odd days. And not just her—I’ll properly guide the other members, too."

"The Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps and the Mountain and Sea Mercenary Corps are my foundation here. I can’t have anything happen to them."

"Let’s go. Time to go back and sleep," Lin Xinghai said with a mischievous grin.

At the mention of sleep, a blush instantly crept across Liu Miaomiao’s lovely face.

...

Early the next morning, the branch base was already bustling with noise. The Mercenary Corps had come here to earn resources, so they seized every moment to go out on missions.

In such an environment, Lin Xinghai couldn’t sleep in. Fortunately, he hadn’t stayed up too late the previous night. Besides, with his current physical constitution, three or four hours of sleep was enough to fully restore his energy.

He sat up, stretched, and the sight of Liu Miaomiao’s graceful figure beside him immediately caused the lustful fire in his heart to stir again.

But before he could make a move, a notification from his wrist-mounted computer drew his attention.

He glanced at the message on the screen, and his drowsy eyes instantly lit up.

’The High Level Gene Medicine Liquid has finally arrived.’
