Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 108 - 107: The Matter Ferments

Facing their praise, Lin Xinghai chuckled and said, "Luck. It was all luck."

Zhang Yue just smiled at that and didn’t bother with further pleasantries. Military men were known for their direct and efficient ways, and he immediately began to count the Energy Crystal Stones.

"All the Energy Crystal Stones together are indeed worth 70,000 Points," Zhang Yue said, using his wrist-mounted computer to transfer the Points directly to Fang Tianhe.

"Uh... so much?" Fang Tianhe was a little surprised, looking at the 100,000 Points that had just been transferred to him.

"This is on the Great Elder’s orders. He hopes you’ll keep up the good work," Zhang Yue explained.

"Energy Crystal Stones aren’t exactly a dime a dozen. Finding them is purely a matter of luck!" Fang Tianhe said with a wry smile.

"Just do your best! Also, if you run into any trouble here in the Shelter and need help, feel free to find me." After saying this, Zhang Yue didn’t linger and led his team away.

Watching them leave, Fang Tianhe and the others looked slightly emotional.

Before, when they brought back the Energy Crystal Stones, it only meant they had caught the attention of the higher-ups and had chosen a side. But that was all.

But Zhang Yue’s final words just now—that they could find him if they needed help—were a clear display of the higher-ups’ attitude!

An attitude of willingness to help them handle their problems.

This was no longer just about catching the higher-ups’ attention; they had been elevated to the status of "one of their own."

Amid his excitement, Fang Tianhe naturally didn’t forget that these benefits were all thanks to Lin Xinghai. It was no exaggeration to call it a great contribution.

While calculating what kind of reward he should give Lin Xinghai, he transferred the 100,000 Points over.

After receiving the Points, Lin Xinghai didn’t hesitate. He had Ling Xiu take out his Identity Card, then opened a holographic projection and, right in front of him, directly sent over 40,000 Points.

"No, no, no! Based on the 70,000 Points, our forty percent share is only 28,000 Points. This is too much," Ling Xiu quickly waved his hands in refusal.

"We agreed on a forty-sixty split, so that’s what it is. Don’t overthink it," Lin Xinghai said.

He was actually very clear about what was his to take and what wasn’t.

Since the distribution plan was set, it should be followed during the final settlement, regardless of any mid-course changes. He knew that only by doing so could he earn greater trust from others and facilitate long-term cooperation.

The grateful expression all over Ling Xiu’s face proved his point. By giving them an extra 12,000 Points this time, he would have no qualms about proposing a thirty-seventy split for their next cooperation.

After splitting the proceeds from the Energy Crystal Stones, the next item was the red wine.

Fang Tianhe opened the three wooden crates, gave them a quick look, and said to Lin Xinghai, "112 bottles of red wine, all well-preserved. I can sell them for 100,000 Points, no problem."

Lin Xinghai nodded, and without hesitation, transferred another 40,000 Points to Ling Xiu’s card.

Watching this, Ling Xiu and the others found their breathing growing ragged. In just a minute, his card had gained 80,000 Points. This would have been unimaginable before.

And the accounting for this haul wasn’t even finished yet!

Soon, a team of staff from the Mercenary Guild walked over. They were responsible for both inventorying the goods and storing everyone’s weapons.

Normally, a small hunting party returning wouldn’t be attended to so quickly. Mercenary Corps always had priority, and during peak times, it was quite normal for them to wait ten or twenty minutes.

However, because the military had just paid a visit, these people from the Mercenary Guild had no choice but to take them seriously.

When they approached, the first thing they saw was the Hunter’s corpse on the vehicle’s roof, and they froze instantly.

"You hunted this?" the leading staff member asked with a frown.

If people from the Military Department hadn’t just been here, and if he didn’t recognize Fang Tianhe as a corps leader, he probably wouldn’t be asking, but interrogating them.

"Mhm! That’s right." Ling Xiu didn’t bother explaining much. He just took out the vehicle’s detached navigation system, used it as a screen, and played the video of them hunting the Mutated Zombie.

This video was even shorter, starting right as they approached the zombie horde.

The video opened with them facing a zombie horde. A scene like that shocked not only the staff member, but even Fang Tianhe and the others standing beside him.

But what shocked them even more was Lin Xinghai’s performance. His godlike Gun Technique left everyone present dumbfounded, including Fang Tianhe and Roger.

Although Lin Xinghai had already demonstrated his terrifying Gun Technique when dealing with the Blood Demon, Blood Demons were different from normal Mutated Zombies. Their intelligence is extremely low, and due to their physical properties, they barely even try to dodge attacks. So, even an ordinary Mercenary wouldn’t find it hard to hit one.

But Mutated Zombies were completely different, especially a Hunter, a type known for its agility. Both its reaction time and its intuition for danger were terrifyingly strong.

Although they could see from the video that the Hunter had a broken leg, its Speed was still definitely over 250 points even so.

To put that in perspective, a High Level Zombie’s Speed is only around 60, and many people already find it impossible to hit them.

Even with a broken leg, the Hunter was still four times faster than a High Level Zombie, and its Perception and reflexes were even sharper. The difficulty of shooting it wasn’t just four times harder—it was far more than that.

And yet, Lin Xinghai was able to suppress it completely. A Gun Technique like that could truly be called godlike.

After the video finished playing, Ling Xiu introduced Lin Xinghai, specifically mentioning his status as a Divine Sharpshooter.

After hearing this, the staff member no longer had any doubts. He immediately had someone come over to take care of the corpse and calculate the Points.

Because this Hunter had a broken leg, the Points awarded were reduced. However, since this type of Mutated Zombie was extremely difficult to hunt, it still netted them 12,000 Points after factoring everything in.

Next was the ammunition. Combining their remaining bullets with those recovered from the Giant Hammer Mercenary Corps, they exchanged it all for a total of about 15,000 Points.

Finally, there were the Elemental Crystals. Lin Xinghai had taken 925 Elemental Crystals, but there were still 410 left over.

And since Lin Xinghai had only taken Low Level Elemental Crystals, the remaining 400-odd crystals contained a significant number of Intermediate and High Level Elemental Crystals.

In the end, these were exchanged for 13,000 Points. Of course, the Points from this portion of Elemental Crystals did not belong to Lin Xinghai.

After the inventory was complete, Lin Xinghai submitted his card number, and the Points quickly arrived in his account.

He then transferred the Superpower Alliance’s share of the Points directly to Ling Xiu.

"Alright, I won’t go with you to turn in the mission. Just transfer the Points directly to my Identity Card later," Lin Xinghai said to Ling Xiu after handing over his Tearing Rifle for storage.

"Okay, we’ll let you get back to it, then," Ling Xiu quickly replied.

After that, the two groups parted ways. Lin Xinghai left directly with Fang Tianhe’s group, while Ling Xiu and his team wasted no time, heading straight for the Mercenary Guild. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But though they had left, the impact of these events was only just beginning to ripple outwards.
