Chapter 757 - 727: Method (Part 2)

Soon, Lin Xinghai’s room was packed with people.

Of course, he lived in a single room of just over ten square meters, so even when it was packed, it couldn’t actually hold that many people.

So, in the end, only a portion of the Xinghai Squad’s members came in, such as Little Fatty and Yan Feijie, who were already starting to show exceptional talent.

Of course, among everyone present, the biggest exception was undoubtedly Guan An.

Guan An glanced around before sitting down uneasily across from Lin Xinghai.

At this moment, Guan An completely lacked the authoritative air of an upperclassman. Sitting across from Lin Xinghai, he felt as if he were facing a mentor.

"What would you like to drink, Guan An?" Lin Xinghai asked with a smile, gesturing for Little Fatty to get some beverages.

"Captain Lin, you can just call me Guan An," Guan An said quickly. "And plain water is fine for me."

"Haha, alright." Lin Xinghai didn’t care what he was called, so he got straight to the point. "Guan An, do you happen to remember the suggestion you made to me yesterday?"

Guan An was stunned for a moment but still nodded quickly. He didn’t quite understand what Lin Xinghai meant by asking this.

When he first made the suggestion, he believed they had a basis for cooperation.

But as Lin Xinghai continued to display his talent and his rank on the Points leaderboard soared, he began to wonder if Lin Xinghai even needed to cooperate with him anymore.

Then, the Blood Bags appeared, and everyone was desperately trying to improve themselves. Finally, they had to face the attack launched from the Abyssal Plane.

With this string of events, Guan An no longer had time to dwell on the matter.

And the next time he heard news of Lin Xinghai, it was that he had somehow obtained over 100 million Points in a single night.

At that point, he no longer dared to even think about cooperating.

After all, why would the current Lin Xinghai need to cooperate with anyone else?

But he never imagined that Lin Xinghai would bring up the old topic now. Furthermore, for him to raise it at this point in time, the implications were completely different.

Countless thoughts flashed through Guan An’s mind, but by then, Lin Xinghai had already started speaking again.

"Good, as long as you remember. In fact, my next plan is similar to the one you proposed before, so I wanted you to come over and advise me. I might also need your assistance," Lin Xinghai said with a smile.

"I wouldn’t dare presume. Whatever you need me to do, just give the order," Guan An quickly declared.

"The plan you proposed yesterday was for us to organize ten or so squads to accept missions in nearby areas. I would be responsible for killing the Mutated Zombies, and we would split the final profits fifty-fifty. I didn’t misremember, did I?" Lin Xinghai said, recalling the details.

"That’s right!" Guan An nodded hurriedly.

"Then let’s go big this time." As Lin Xinghai spoke, he activated the projection function on his wrist-mounted computer, displaying the latest map of Changshi City.

He then reached out and drew a large circle over one of the areas. "My plan is to accept every mission within this region, and then we’ll conduct a full-scale sweep right here."

Everyone stared blankly at the area Lin Xinghai had circled. It was a massive area, stretching directly from the outer edge of the green toxic fog to the middle zone, a span of more than ten kilometers.

"Even if every student at East Sea Academy were to follow your orders, can we really take on such a large area? And it’s inevitable that we’ll encounter Mutated Zombies while on these missions. How will we handle that?" Guan An asked.

This area was simply too vast; the method he had proposed yesterday was completely unfeasible for something of this scale.

"Actually, you’re overthinking it. The area I circled is huge, and there are many missions within it. We’ll just have them accept missions that are within their capabilities."

"That way, even if they encounter danger, the risk will be manageable. And once they reach their target location, I’ll rush over at top speed and help them take care of the Mutated Zombies in that area. If they can’t win, all they need to do is stall for time."

"Of course, this area is huge, so it will take me time to rush over and kill the Mutated Zombies."

"However, I can guarantee that I can show up within 10 minutes of them reaching the mission location and help them eliminate the Mutated Zombies."

"There shouldn’t be any issues then. What do you think of this method?" Lin Xinghai asked, looking at Guan An.

At this point, Guan An was completely stunned. He pointed at the enormous circle Lin Xinghai had drawn and said in disbelief, "You can really do that? Help every single squad kill their Mutated Zombies?"

"Of course. And 10 minutes is the maximum time; my goal is to keep it under 5 minutes."

"Of course, that has a prerequisite. When we’re executing the plan, we can’t let all the squads swarm into the area at once."

"By my estimates, the number of people willing to come could reach 6,000. At 50 people per squad, that’s roughly 120 squads."

"So, you’ll need to make arrangements to have no more than 20 squads enter this area every 5 minutes. Otherwise, I won’t have enough time to kill the Mutated Zombies. You guys have to do a good job with the coordination," Lin Xinghai said.

As long as this one condition was met, everything else wasn’t really a problem. ’The circle I drew looks big, but it pales in comparison to the rescue area Zuo Wenyao and I covered last night,’ he thought.

’It’s at most equivalent to one-tenth of Zone C.’

’With my Speed of over 60,000, it wouldn’t even take me a few dozen seconds to cross the entire area.’

’Besides, I’ll be killing the Mutated Zombies based on proximity, so it would probably only take me ten to twenty seconds to reach each location.’

’As for killing the Mutated Zombies themselves, that’s just a matter of firing a couple of shots. It takes practically no time at all.’

In fact, this idea of Lin Xinghai’s was not only inspired by Guan An but also came from his experience as part of the rescue squad the night before.

Of course, unlike last night, they had only been responsible for the rescue itself. Everything else was left to the strategy department to consider, and the military naturally handled all the work.

But now that he was organizing it himself, he had to be hands-on with everything. A cooperative venture like this required much more consideration.

Now, everyone in the room understood Lin Xinghai’s plan.

At that moment, only a single thought remained in their minds: Insane!

The plan itself didn’t sound complicated, because all the difficult parts fell entirely on Lin Xinghai.

If Lin Xinghai could do what he said he could, then the plan would naturally be executed smoothly.

But if he couldn’t—if he couldn’t help the other squads kill the Mutated Zombies—then this so-called plan would be meaningless.
