While everyone was busy preparing, Lin Xinghai was not idle either. To be precise, he was busier than everyone else.
Because he wanted to take advantage of these few hours before dispatching troops to help the new recruits break the genetic lock.
Of course, since there are too many soldiers to choose from this time, they don't need to choose those whose genetic level is stuck at 89%.
There are many "new recruits" who have broken three genetic locks.
After all, with the end of the catastrophe, zombies can no longer affect human survival, and the crystals in their bodies will continuously turn into bottles of genetic liquid.
In this case, as long as your genetic evaluation level is not too bad, you can rely on cheaper and cheaper genetic medicines to keep piling up.
When Lin Xinghai first came to Star Shield Base, anyone who broke three gene locks could raise a first-level mercenary group.
But now, even a first-level mercenary group can produce two or three people who can break the third gene lock.
Of course, no matter what, although the number of people who have broken the third-level gene lock has increased a lot, and may have even doubled or tripled, compared to the huge base, it is still very few.
But it’s totally fine to pull out a batch.
Just like this selection, the third genetic lock was broken, and more than 500 soldiers were directly selected.
And those who have broken three genetic locks on their own will undoubtedly have greater potential in the future.
Of course, no matter what, the vast majority of people are still unable to break the third gene lock, so now there are 1,200 soldiers in front of Lin Xinghai, waiting for his help to advance.
Lin Xinghai was naturally unambiguous and directly summoned these people, and then asked people to distribute breakthrough potions, and immediately asked them to make breakthroughs in batches.
Since he already had experience in this area and had the help of others, Lin Xinghai was quite familiar with it this time.
In addition, now that his perception has been greatly enhanced, it is easier to help others break through.
Basically within one minute, he can help others achieve breakthroughs quite stably, and with the time acceleration ability, he can reduce this time to less than 6 seconds.
But there were a total of 1,200 people here, so it took Lin Xinghai two hours to help them all break through successfully.
Then he hurriedly went to rest. He had no choice but to consume so much of his perception that even he couldn't bear it.
...
Time continues to pass, and as time goes by, the noise of the Star Shield Base gradually decreases.
This is not because people have gone to rest, but because the army has gradually moved out and is now almost at the end.
When the time came to early morning, Lin Xinghai, who had been asleep for two hours, quietly came to the entrance of the military camp, leaned against the gate, and waited silently.
In this base, there were absolutely only a handful of people who could keep Lin Xinghai waiting. It didn't take long, but an extremely energetic old man with the rank of lieutenant general came to the door escorted by a group of guards.
The person coming was none other than Lin Zhengyang, the top military leader here at Donghai Base.
"Haha, Xiao Lin, have you been waiting for a long time?" Lin Zhengyang smiled cheerfully as soon as he got closer.
"No, I just arrived. Are you leaving now?" Lin Xinghai asked.
"Well, yes. The last group of teams is about to leave soon. I just came over to see how your preparations are going." Lin Zhengyang nodded and said.
"It's all ready and ready to go at any time."
The two of them walked inside while talking.
At this time, 3,000 soldiers in the Thunder Legion camp had gathered in the square again.
Compared to before, they are now fully armed.
Holding the latest Ripper rifle, wearing the latest carbon nano combat uniform, and hanging the highest-grade cold weapons around their waists, everyone has an aura of quick killing.
"This morale is very good!" Lin Zhengyang was a little surprised. He was a veteran of many battles. He knew very well that it would be difficult for a new team to have such morale under normal circumstances.
Not to mention, as soon as this team got together, they were about to face an unprecedented battle.
Lin Xinghai on the side smiled and said nothing, just made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Zhengyang raised his eyebrows slightly, then slowly stepped forward and stopped next to a soldier.
Although he is already old, his strength has reached the body shaping stage, and the word "old" definitely cannot be used in conjunction with it.
And such an age also means rich experience.
Under his sharp gaze, he discovered a lot of things in an instant.
His eyes paused slightly as he looked at the Ripper rifle, the alloy sword at his waist, and the carbon nano combat uniform on his body.
"How generous! None of my most elite direct troops have equipment like yours." Lin Zhengyang couldn't help but sigh.
The current Thunder Legion is fully armed. Although the newly purchased combat boots and combat helmets have not been distributed, they cannot be without the military-style ones.
And with other standard equipment, there are three particularly outstanding pieces of equipment, which naturally give people a different feeling.
Of course, a veteran like Lin Zhengyang doesn't just look at the surface, he pays more attention to some details.
So he came behind the soldier, opened the soldier's combat backpack and took a look inside, and then couldn't help but let out a slight gasp.
"How much money are you going to spend on this battle?" Lin Zhengyang couldn't help but say.
Under normal circumstances, apart from a small amount of dry food and relief items, the most loaded item in a combat backpack is bullets.
This soldier's combat backpack certainly contained the same items, but the problem was that it didn't contain any ordinary bullets, all of them were special bullets.
Most of them are armor-piercing bombs, combined with a small amount of incendiary bombs, freezing bombs and corrosive bombs.
In addition, there are more than one individual weapon such as plasma grenades, high-energy bombs and inferno bombs, or at least two hands.
With such an ammunition configuration, there is no doubt about the instantaneous combat power, but it is really expensive, and whether it can be recouped is indeed a big question.
But Lin Xinghai smiled indifferently, "I'm not worried about this problem. They selected them from thousands of people, and their marksmanship is naturally not bad. They don't need to use fire suppression to shoot like ordinary soldiers. They can also face the tide of corpses."
Calmly burst fire, in this case, of course it is better to be equipped with armor-piercing bullets."
"What's more, our position is not to defend but to support. We must use the most ferocious firepower to destroy the zombie tide in order to control the situation."
After hearing this, Lin Zhengyang was not embarrassed. Instead, he nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, I was overly worried, and this elite team you have assembled cannot be viewed with conventional eyes."
"You are ridiculous." Lin Xinghai said modestly.
"Okay, let's not be polite. Now that you are ready, let's set off. The vanguard is almost reaching the front line. According to the news from them, the current situation does not seem to be good, mainly because
The defense line was not established, so the fight was a bit difficult," Lin Zhengyang said.
