Chapter 760 - 730: Speed Rescue (Part 1)

A commotion of this magnitude, started by Lin Xinghai and the others, was bound to attract attention.

On the outskirts of the open ground, students from both Capital University and Modu University had come to gather news. Even many of the teachers and school leaders from East Sea Academy were secretly observing the situation.

"Jian Hua, that student of yours is incredible! We’ve never seen such rallying power at East Sea Academy." Some instructors couldn’t help but comment, a hint of envy in their voices.

"Heh, you know it. But I think what’s most impressive is his potential and combat strength," Jian Hua said, showing off a bit.

"Old Jian, do you think this operation he’s organized will succeed?" someone else asked from the side.

While having a student like Lin Xinghai was a personal benefit for Jian Hua, the question of whether East Sea Academy could take first place in the college league finals concerned the interests of every student and teacher at the school. They couldn’t help but be deeply invested.

"Uh... well, no one can guarantee it, right? But based on my understanding of Lin Xinghai, if he dares to say it, he must have some confidence. Hmm... I should say, his confidence is probably quite high," Jian Hua said.

His words weren’t just boasting or exaggeration. After all, as Lin Xinghai’s homeroom teacher, he naturally paid the most attention to his most outstanding student.

Therefore, he had carefully looked into everything Lin Xinghai had done, from the entrance exams to the present. While finding it incredible, he had also come to understand Lin Xinghai’s ability to create miracles.

When the other instructors heard Jian Hua say this, they didn’t say anything more. They estimated that in another hour or two, they would find out whether Lin Xinghai’s method was feasible.

As for Lin Xinghai, the center of everyone’s discussion, he had already quietly left the military headquarters.

He was leading the Xinghai Squad, which had already accepted its mission, and was heading toward the target location.

The feasibility of the plan he had devised depended not only on his personal abilities but also on another crucial factor: whether they could maintain clear communications.

Only then could he get timely updates on each squad’s location, whether they had encountered danger, and so on.

And within that green toxic mist, maintaining clear communications couldn’t be solved with just a high-powered communication device. It also required installing numerous Relay Amplifiers in the target area.

That was why Lin Xinghai and the others had set out in advance.

"Be careful. Don’t push yourselves beyond your limits." After the convoy reached the target location, Lin Xinghai looked at Yan Feijie and said.

At this point, only a little over 20 members of the Xinghai Squad were still willing to go out on missions.

Now that he was about to leave, and Little Fatty, the deputy leader, needed to stay at the headquarters to command, the squad was temporarily handed over to Yan Feijie to manage.

"Don’t worry! I’ve led squads before, so I definitely know what to look out for," Yan Feijie said with a smile.

Lin Xinghai nodded, then hoisted the massive combat pack on his back and leaped out of the Armored Vehicle.

He first made a circuit around the area where the Xinghai Squad was operating.

After killing a Second Level Hunter, he found a relatively sturdy building on the street.

After casually killing a Petrifying Spider hidden inside, Lin Xinghai took a fist-sized Relay Amplifier out of his pack.

He placed the Relay Amplifier in a corner and gently pressed a groove on its surface.

As the amplifier activated, the originally folded metal sphere continuously extended and expanded, instantly transforming into a metal contraption about 30 centimeters tall. The signal wires extending from it were even two to three meters long.

Outside, a single Relay Amplifier like this would be powerful enough to transmit a signal forty to fifty kilometers away.

But here, it could only cover two or three nearby streets at most.

Of course, Lin Xinghai had brought over a hundred of these signal amplifiers in his pack, enough to completely cover the area he had marked out.

By then, they would be able to achieve real-time communication, just like outside.

...

While Lin Xinghai was placing the signal amplifiers, back at the military headquarters, Little Fatty had already finished his tally and had everyone pre-select their missions.

"Alright, it’s about time. The first batch of 20 squads, head to the Mission Hall now. After you accept your missions, you can proceed directly to the mission locations," Little Fatty said, checking the time on his watch.

"Okay, we’re off then," Shi Anzhi, who was at the head of the group, nodded.

That was right—his Rock Squad was also on the list for the first batch.

As he spoke, the remaining 19 squads quickly departed, following his lead.

This was something Little Fatty and the others had intentionally arranged. Every 20 squads were grouped into the same batch, and within each batch of 20, there was bound to be a well-known figure from the academy, like Shi Anzhi.

They would naturally become the leaders of their batch, and by taking the lead, they effectively reduced Little Fatty’s workload.

Shi Anzhi and the others had no objections to this. For the sake of helping the academy win the college league championship, this small effort was nothing.

Soon, the 20 squads arrived at the Mission Hall and quickly accepted their missions.

Of course, the process of accepting missions didn’t go completely smoothly, as some of the better missions were contested.

In the past, they might have gone to the arena to settle it with their opponents.

But this time, they quickly gave up on the mission and, following their backup plan, accepted the next one.

For them right now, time was money. There was no need to waste it here arguing with others.

Because of this, the whole process was very fast. In less than three minutes, all 20 squads had accepted their missions and were rushing to their respective locations.

The 20 convoys advanced in a vast procession. Since they shared the same general destination, they could travel together.

This way, the dangers on the road were much reduced. Even many Abyssal Creatures would proactively avoid such a massive convoy.

Moreover, the missions these 20 squads had accepted were all relatively close to each other, so they didn’t finally split up until they were about to reach their mission areas.

’I wonder if Lin Xinghai can really pull this off.’ Shi Anzhi couldn’t help but mutter to himself as he watched the squads depart one by one.

To be honest, he was a little nervous now, because the answer would soon be revealed.

After splitting off from the other squads, his Rock Squad advanced at an extremely high speed, arriving at the mission location in less than three minutes.

His mission area was located within the central district, where a military engineering team was constructing a permanent military fortress.

The mission he had accepted this time was to protect the engineering team here until they finished constructing the fortress’s outer defensive perimeter.

According to the intel from the Mission Hall, a Third Level Mutated Zombie had attempted to attack this location 15 minutes ago but was repelled by the garrisoned troops.

But given the regenerative abilities of a Mutated Zombie, it was believed the creature would soon return with a vengeance, and this time it would surely be prepared. This was precisely why the mission had been posted.
