Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 130 - 129: Boosting Morale

After accepting the mission, Fang Tianhe led his men toward the trading hall to purchase ammunition.

Although he had already acquired some special items from the military, they weren’t conventional ammunition and were far too scarce. Regular ammunition still had to be purchased at the Mercenary Guild.

The group headed to the second floor. Lin Xinghai quietly dropped to the back of the group, opened the map on his wrist-computer, selected a location, and sent a message to Gao Mountain.

Since they were capable of monitoring the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps, the other party couldn’t be stupid enough not to do the same to them.

Therefore, the Mountain and Sea Mercenary Corps couldn’t possibly meet with them now. They could only rendezvous outside the Shelter to avoid attracting attention.

After sending the message, Lin Xinghai caught up with the Mercenary Corps and entered the trading hall.

Shen Han was already talking with the staff, placing a large order for ammunition.

Unlike previous times, they were making a large-scale purchase of ammunition with area-of-effect damage, like Burning Bullets and Hand Cannon Bullets.

Of course, it wasn’t just Shen Han. The various squad leaders also went up to speak with the staff. If they or their squad members had any special requests, they would be the ones to raise them and make the purchase.

Since all the ammunition was refundable, they didn’t have to worry about waste.

Lin Xinghai also stepped forward. He selected a variety of Special Bullets, whether he thought he would need them or not. As for Armor-Piercing Bullets, he bought them in massive quantities.

After all, the Defense Power of the Optimized was comparable to that of a Zombie, not to mention they wore Combat Suits. If an opponent was wearing a tactical helmet, a regular bullet might not guarantee a one-shot kill, even with a headshot.

Since Lin Xinghai was buying mostly Special Bullets, another awkward situation arose. The Special Bullets he selected for himself alone cost 7,000 Points.

But as the most crucial part of the plan, Lin Xinghai’s ammunition supply had to be guaranteed at all costs, so cutting back wasn’t an option.

However, this meant that the 20,000 Points Shen Han had on hand were nowhere near enough to buy all the ammunition.

Facing this situation, Lin Xinghai didn’t wait for Shen Han to ask and directly transferred 26,000 Points to him. Including the 24,000 Points spent at the shooting range, he had now lent the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps a total of 50,000 Points.

True to his character, Shen Han was decisive. With a wave of his hand, he immediately spent all 26,000 Points, converting them into various types of ammunition.

Such an act left even the trading hall staff secretly astonished, let alone the members of the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps.

After all, the total cost of ammunition was approaching 50,000 Points. A normal Mercenary Corps would never buy so much ammunition for a mission, especially not with the majority being various types of Special Bullets.

But surprised as they were, as long as the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps could come up with the Points, the staff simply had to follow procedure.

After the purchases were complete, Lin Xinghai checked his account balance. With all the expenses over the past two days, he only had 63,873 Points left.

’The hundred thousand-plus Points I had before really didn’t seem to last long,’ he thought, seeing his Points balance nearly halved.

But he wasn’t worried in the slightest. With the Mountain and Sea Mercenary Corps as his personal ATM, his wallet would be full again in a few days.

Once they finished buying ammunition, the group headed straight for the Mercenary Plaza. By then, their equipment requisitions had all been approved and were ready.

Three Mechas stood atop three Armored Vehicles. Such a combination was incredibly conspicuous among the other Mercenary Corps departing at the same time.

As they departed, a detailed intelligence report was delivered to the Morgan Conglomerate. It meticulously listed everything, from the mission the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps had accepted to the weapons and equipment they had purchased.

"So they’re finally making their move?" At the Morgan Conglomerate headquarters, Gibson held the report, a cold sneer forming on his lips.

"Get this information to the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps. Tell Qiu Taifei to leave none of them alive." He gave the report a cursory glance before speaking to his butler, Winter, who stood beside him.

"Yes, Young Master."

...

Fang Tianhe and the others were unaware of the Morgan Conglomerate’s actions, but even so, they could make a pretty good guess.

After leaving the Shelter, they headed toward Changping City.

However, on Fang Tianhe’s orders, they didn’t take the main road. Instead, they turned onto a smaller path and headed in a different direction.

The convoy drove for five minutes before coming to a stop. Awaiting them was an armed military squad, standing in silence.

Next to the squad was a container filled with weapons.

Clearly, this was the pre-arranged handover point between Fang Tianhe and the military. Only outside the Shelter could they be sure there were no Morgan Conglomerate spies.

Seeing this, Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but marvel at Fang Tianhe’s extreme caution.

"Zhang Yue, thanks for making the trip out here yourself. When we return triumphant, I’ll buy you a drink, and we won’t stop until one of us is under the table," Fang Tianhe said with a laugh, being the first to jump out of his vehicle to greet the approaching officer.

"No, you’re the ones going up against the Morgan Conglomerate’s lackeys. I should be the one buying you a drink," Zhang Yue retorted with a smile.

As the two men talked, the soldiers quickly began loading the weapons into the Armored Vehicles.

The most conspicuous items, of course, were the four Dongfeng-I man-portable missiles.

Each missile was as thick as a thigh and a meter tall, and each came equipped with its own simple launching mechanism.

They could be launched manually or connected to a wrist-computer for remote firing, provided, of course, that one had the activation key.

...

At the same time, an obscure hunting squad departed from Star Shield Shelter.

But instead of heading to their mission location, they drove a short distance—much like the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps had—before turning onto a small path and entering an unremarkable mountain hollow.

A camouflaged outpost was hidden there.

After entering the outpost, the hunting squad immediately activated a long-range communication device and sent out a report on the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps’ latest movements. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

...

Meanwhile, after completing the handover, the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps was back on the road, heading toward Changping City.

Upon receiving these military-grade weapons, those in the know, like Lin Xinghai, remained calm, but the regular members were practically buzzing with excitement.

It wasn’t just the new recruits; even the veteran members had never imagined their leader’s relationship with the military was this strong.

Due to its immense power, this kind of military-grade equipment was normally strictly forbidden from being sold to Mercenary Corps.

But for that very reason, seeing this display caused everyone’s morale to skyrocket. Lin Xinghai reckoned that even if he told them the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps was backed by the Morgan Conglomerate, they wouldn’t feel a shred of fear.

Of course, just boosting the morale of the regular members wasn’t enough.

Lin Xinghai glanced at the solemn expressions of Fang Tianhe, Shen Han, and the others. ’Looks like their morale could use a boost, too,’ he thought.

"Commander, pull over in eight kilometers," Lin Xinghai said.

"Hm?" Fang Tianhe shot him a questioning glance.

"I’ve invited an ally to help us in this fight," Lin Xinghai explained.
