CHAPTER 491: CHAPTER 187: DEATH OF THE DEMON INFANT_2

But he believed the probability was low.

In the previous timeline, when Starfire Resources was relocating, the atmosphere was particularly tense, and Yang Bingzhong had hired a hundred-member Hunting Team from outside as security.

The leader of that Hunting Team was a wastelander.

The combat mode of a team and a squad is, of course, fundamentally different, and the training methods are naturally different as well.

Now, Ren Zhong also had the strength to establish a team, and with his high intelligence persona, he naturally devised a team combat mode through his exploration, which was reasonable and logical.

If a wastelander could lead a team, then as a citizen, he certainly could too.

As long as his team appeared to be dealing with the Ruined Beasts, and not attacking the city, it would be fine.

Ren Zhong had planned very well, but when it came down to actual practice, it all had to be left to Zheng Tian.

Fortunately, Zheng Tian, who had climbed up from the bottom as a wastelander, lived up to the mission.

Currently, she had established 15 complete combat platoons and 45 combat squads.

The team members were well-trained and cooperated seamlessly, achieving an effect where one plus one is greater than two through tactical cooperation in actual combat.

Several days ago, Zheng Tian completed her peak masterpiece to date in her life.

She led an entire combat platoon to assault a stronghold where 200 Second Level rodent-type Ruined Beasts were gathered.

After the battle, the casualty count was only one person killed, with 16 injured, which could be considered a great victory.

In the current operation, Zheng Tian scattered all combat squads and distributed them into a large team of nearly five thousand people.

She then had each squad form around her as the core, slightly reorganizing the ordinary Scavengers into temporary platoons.

Each platoon had about 100 people, including 10 members of the trained spearhead squad, with the remaining 90 broken into 9 combat groups to coordinate with the spearhead squad.

The team’s performance greatly accelerated the progress of this temporary corps, advancing to the innermost side of Bone Valley after just an hour and a half.

Familiar with the movements of the Descending Demon Baby, Ren Zhong slowly raised his hand, signaling the team to pause for a moment.

He first turned back, smiling at Zheng Tian beside him, "The entire team advances and retreats with evidence, flexible and coordinated. Well done. No, it’s excellent."

During this hour and a half, Ren Zhong observed everyone’s performance closely.

In fact, his real evaluation was much higher than what he expressed verbally.

The Scavengers who received formal training not only completely rid themselves of their past selfish habits and demonstrated team spirit, but also adhered strictly to commands and showed strong execution.

It felt a bit like an army yet not an army.

Moreover, during this hour and a half, Zheng Tian, as the direct Commander of the five-thousand-strong team, used the command system multiple times to pass down orders to platoons, which these platoon leaders then autonomously distributed further, enabling timely adjustments of march strategies.

Initially, the ordinary Scavengers who had not participated in training seemed slightly chaotic, but the five hundred trained Hunting Team members shared their insights verbally and demonstrated what cooperation meant through their actions to the other scattered individuals.

Scavengers who licked blood off knives for years were not actually foolish; they just had never been taught. Given the opportunity, they learned earnestly, knowing it was a way to survive.

Only half an hour later, the chaotic situation within the team improved greatly.

This was the surprise Zheng Tian gave to Ren Zhong, more satisfying than the shock she gave him when she, to his surprise, suggested taking a bath together.

With this praise from Ren Zhong, Zheng Tian’s slightly chubby childlike face turned a bit red, "It’s still because Brother Ren taught me well."

"No need to be modest. I once said you were the most outstanding semi-professional Scavenger Captain in Starfire Town. Now it seems, I underestimated you; your talents exceed that. As a Gunsmith, your talent indeed doesn’t match Yujin. But Yujin is Yujin, and you are you, with your own specialties. I have more expectations for you."

Zheng Tian was first stunned, then responded with a heavy nod, "Mm!"

Although her seductive plan still had no hope, she felt unexpectedly at ease inside.

"Next..."

After thoroughly explaining the entire team’s combat plan to Zheng Tian, Ren Zhong then sprang up, opened the broadcast system, and said loudly, "As I stated before our departure, our sole purpose today is to slay the Descending Demon Baby and turn Bone Valley into a fertile hunting ground."

Ants can bite an elephant to death, let alone ants with guns in their hands.

Today, the Descending Demon Baby will not escape its doom.

...

After a series of familiar preambles, the Descending Demon Baby once again burst out of the ground with a piercing shriek.

But in the next moment, it was struck directly by a massive blade engulfed in ghostly blue flames.
