Actually, when Lin Feng first met Duncan's team, he already had the intention to recruit them, mainly because their conditions were too favorable.

The primary concern was the combat quality of the personnel.

The team leader, Old Duncan, was a former Federation soldier, a type of Special Forces elite, who had participated in many wars even before the catastrophe of the Old Earth era.

And the teammates gathered around him basically had similar experiences, possessing extremely rich combat experience.

Even if they were not accustomed to the battles between Evolvers, in terms of weaponry, especially the use of firearms, they could definitely be called master level.

This quality is more suitable to be under Lin Feng's command.

After all, no other force could provide unlimited remote high-powered firearms.

Weapons are not lacking here; what is lacking are high-quality personnel who can skillfully use these weapons to exert real combat power.

The combat squad organized by Ah Lian and Ma Chenfeng, apart from being equipped with AK weapons, in terms of personal abilities, are only slightly stronger than ordinary Hunters. They might excel in individual combat, but when it comes to team combat requiring cooperation, they are almost inexperienced novices.

However, firearms can only exert a crushing advantage in a structured team, even capable of suppressing thousands or tens of thousands of evolutionary catastrophe beast tides.

But such a team that can be called an army requires far more than just manpower; it also demands training team members to become soldiers.

Able to be on call at any time, obey commands without question.

And numerous combat skills and coordination training.

And these are the qualities that Duncan's team possesses.

They were once part of killing machines, more suitable for managing daily training than those like Ah Lian and Ma Chenfeng, who switched careers halfway.

Following this team's expansion, many members are descendants of the Wasteland second generation, third generation, or even several generations. Although their backgrounds are simple, their knowledge is equally shallow and they have not received modern education.

Some cannot even recognize all the words.

If they are to operate complex weapons and precision equipment such as computers in the future, it would be very difficult.

So there is an urgent need to start training them from the beginning.

Lin Feng took advantage of this opportunity when the Salvation Army came requesting something, and he proposed his terms accordingly.

After proposing, he spoke earnestly:

"Regardless of the final outcome of the martial arts contest, Oasis Town will eventually be taken over by the Holy City and become a direct subordinate force of the Holy City Diocese. By then, the so-called Five Major Villages and tens of thousands of Deserters following them will cease to exist."

"The Oasis will no longer favor the bottom-level survivors in a parliamentary style but will use feudal oppression and even implement slavery to perfect its rule."

"Here, you either willingly become slaves, or you resist and get killed, or flee and become wanted Wanderers."

Saying this, Lin Feng turned to Lisa beside him:

"If that happens, the Salvation Army will lose an insider who can move on the surface, and their connection with the official forces will be greatly weakened."

"Recalling your ordinary Desert Hunting Squad has little significance for the Salvation Army, like staying with me, then any needs between both parties can be promptly met."

"After staying, you only need to help me train the team members to enhance their combat quality; there is no need to participate in external combat operations."

"Of course, when in the future you feel the treatment on my side is suitable, you are always welcome to join permanently."

"I won't say much else, but I will enforce one rule strictly, which is rewards for achievements and punishments for faults."

"When everyone's training shows results, I will promise to give each of you an Evolution Agent, raising you by one level."

"At the same time, you staying with me will also keep contact with the Salvation Army outside Oasis Town anytime."

Lisa and Duncan exchanged glances; the former agreed on her own initiative without waiting for the latter to speak:

"Great, thank you, Leader Lin, for recognizing us!"

"I was just worried about how to settle Uncle Duncan and his people. Now, being able to find a place and shelter in your team, I'm immensely grateful!"

After speaking, she gestured subtly to the latter.

Lisa did this with a public-spirited intention but also had a personal motive.

Firstly, Lin Feng temporarily did not want to submit to Bai Ye and work under the Salvation Army, so arranging Duncan's team to join Lin Feng's team could maintain contact between both sides.

Secondly, Duncan's team under Lin Feng would be a good place to go, allowing them to exert their weapon proficiency advantage without having to fight scrapping battles.

As for personal reasons, Lisa did not want to lose contact with Lin Feng.

Duncan's team trained Lisa, especially Old Duncan, who saw Lisa as his daughter and successor. Letting him stay by Lin Feng's side would allow Lisa to serve as a long-term liaison between the Salvation Army and Lin Feng.

Old Duncan, standing beside her, also understood Lisa's meaning, smiled, nodded, and expressed his thanks a few times.

Seeing that the discussion was over, the two prepared to leave to inform the Salvation Army of the changes in Oasis and the new cooperation between both sides.

Before they left, Lin Feng suddenly thought of something and reminded them in a low voice:

"Notify Bai Ye, asking the Salvation Army to be careful; recently, there are likely some surveillance operatives near Oasis Avenue passing through Oasis Town."

"The waters over at the Holy City are deep; Bai Ye should have heard some rumors. There is a human push behind this rebellion, waiting to reap the profits."

"Have the Salvation Army send people to the nearby Wilderness to serve as scouts or secret sentries."

"If there's a situation, don't rush to act; avoid rash conflicts, just notify me."

Lisa nodded slightly, somewhat understanding.
