In these seven days, it was not just the First Brigade that made progress, almost all the mercenary groups were improving by leaps and bounds.
After all, the mercenary guild spent a lot of money on this mission. As long as these mercenary groups don't seek death and proceed steadily, they will definitely earn a lot of points.
Therefore, in these seven 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, let alone those first-level mercenary regiments, it is not an exaggeration to say that their combat power has doubled.
After all, other mercenary groups only improved their weapons, but these mercenary groups in the First Battalion 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 faster than the military department expected. If they maintain this speed, it is estimated that they will be able to open a safe road to the industrial park in just two days.
Of course, the above is all good news, but there is also bad news.
First of all, there is the situation of casualties. In the past seven days, even the first brigade has suffered more than 100 casualties. Not to mention other brigade, some have suffered more than 800 casualties.
Of course, this sounds a bit scary. After all, there are only 1,000 people in a brigade and 800 casualties. This sounds disabled, but in fact it is not.
The military headquarters has made full preparations at the base camp.
As long as you can return alive, you will receive the best treatment as soon as possible. As for minor injuries, you can recover within a day.
Therefore, the number of casualties and injuries are only secondary, the most important thing is the number of deaths.
As for the First Brigade, more than 20 people have died as of today. As for other brigades, most of the deaths have exceeded 200.
The mortality rate of 20% can be said to be quite high, but the mercenary groups that came to participate in this event were all mentally prepared. Coupled with the generous rewards, the major mercenary groups did not have any complaints.
In addition to the casualties, Lin Xinghai paid more attention to another issue, and that was mutated zombies.
It wasn't that there were more and more mutant zombies. On the contrary, starting from the third day, he found that the number of mutant zombies he encountered began to decrease.
On the fifth day, not a single mutant zombie was seen.
Obviously, these mutated zombies have already reacted.
After all, the mutated zombies have initially acquired intelligence, and there is no communication between them. So many mutated zombies have died here, it would be strange not to notice.
If the disappearance of these mutated zombies was simply due to fear, then there would be no problem.
But if not, you might be in big trouble.
But today, the seventh day of the zombie eradication, Lin Xinghai discovered something unusual.
The mutated zombie that had not been seen for two days appeared again.
This time they appeared, not alone, at least in groups of three or five.
And he didn't get close, he just watched from a distance.
Everyone knows that the more this happens, the more wrong it becomes.
"That's it for today, let's go back!" Lin Xinghai looked at the time and ordered over the communication channel.
As Lin Xinghai spoke, the convoy quickly changed direction and drove back. At this time, the mercenary captains seemed to relax and began to chat and count the gains from this mission.
Lin Xinghai's perception expanded. After seeing this scene, he hesitated slightly and said: "There is one more thing. I have said before that there is something abnormal about those mutated zombies."
"I feel like something is going to happen, and it should be within a day or two, so it's best not to save the points you have accumulated, and go change your weapons and convert them into combat power as soon as possible."
"This... Captain Lin, is this serious?" a mercenary captain asked reluctantly.
He has some points in his hand, but he plans to use them to recruit new members after returning to the shelter.
Moreover, for first-level mercenary groups like them, weapons that are too high-end are actually not very cost-effective, and they might as well be spent on recruiting talents.
"Either it's fine, but if something happens, it's not a question of whether it's serious or not, but a question of whether it will be destroyed."
"Of course, these are all my guesses. It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but if there is a force majeure situation and the strength is too poor, you may not be able to escape. Like the armored vehicle engine, it is best to replace it.
Now, if there are conditions for the outer armor, you can replace it with something better." Lin Xinghai reminded.
He never dared to underestimate Guanghan City. There were too many zombies here and they were too dense. Once something happened, it would not be a trivial matter.
Lin Xinghai's words were like pouring cold water on the heads of the mercenary captains.
In the past few days of getting along with each other, Lin Xinghai always gave them the impression that he was calm in everything he did, as if nothing could trouble him.
This time, Lin Xinghai actually spoke so seriously that even if it was just a guess, no one dared not take it seriously.
Following Lin Xinghai's reminder, there were some commotions in various mercenary groups, even the Sky Splitting Mercenary Group was no exception.
"Axing, is it really that serious?" Fang Tianhe asked.
"I don't know, it may be fine, or it may be more serious than what I said, so we have to make some preparations here. Lao Fang, after you go back, you can buy ten individual missiles and fifty hives of bees from the military department.
bomb."
"If something big happens, I may act alone. You need to be able to face mutated 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 genetic optimization reached 60%, officially breaking the second genetic lock. Lin Xinghai lent his mecha to the other party to drive, but the result was beyond his expectation.
.
Liu Miaomiao's life control ability, after being amplified by the mecha, exploded with terrifying harvesting ability.
Within a range of 50 meters centered on the mecha, those intermediate zombies and ordinary zombies had no ability to resist at all. In less than a second, their life force was extracted.
Even high-level zombies can only survive within the range of Liu Miaomiao's superpower for three seconds.
And what's even more frightening is that in the process of being drained of life force, the opponent's combat power will also be greatly affected, and the longer the time, the lower the combat power will be.
It is completely conceivable that even if Liu Miaomiao can only exert 50% of the combat effectiveness of the mecha, as long as she cooperates with this life control ability, she will not be afraid even against those mutated zombies.
Especially, if you use this ability to provide support and contain him from the side, the effect will be no worse than that of Fang Tianhe.
