Chapter 116: The Strange Front Line, the Battle of Jiacheng

The next morning, everyone was united and dressed neatly without the urging of the superiors. They lined up in the parking lot of the service area to get ready.

Lin Feng, the highest commander, got up the latest. He didn't yawn until Chen Yanyan came to wake him up.

It was already six o'clock in the morning when he was ready.

The team members lined up neatly and were ready to go.

Lin Feng asked Li Ran and Shen Jie to select those who could drive and those who were quick to move. They took gasoline and went out on the highway to look for abandoned vehicles.

There were many of these cars now, and you could see several of them every hundred meters.

And most of them were large vehicles with high fuel consumption, such as off-road vehicles and pickup trucks...

In fact, as long as there was enough fuel, they were more suitable for field operations than ordinary cars.

Soon, Shen Jie and others drove back a total of 30 cars from the roadside.

Four people in one car could barely accommodate all the people in the 201st company. As for the more than 50 veterans and recruits who fled, Lin Feng did not plan to take them with him for the time being.

Firstly, the two sides have not had in-depth contact and do not know their details. Secondly, as a latecomer, it is impossible to directly receive the same treatment as the old members of the 201st company.

And the temporary camp also needs to be garrisoned.

The veterans among the fifty outsiders naturally want to continue to follow Li Ran and participate in the insect killing operation.

But some of the frightened recruits are not like the 201st company who have experienced the storms and waves. No matter how much force Lin Feng has demonstrated and how much equipment he has promised, it is difficult for them to voluntarily step onto the battlefield in a short period of time.

It is still a field battle without any protection.

And fighting with the Zerg in the wild is a hundred times more dangerous than hiding in a fortress.

As long as a black-spine worm gets close, it can use its huge jaws to easily seriously injure humans.

No matter if you are an awakened person or wearing red armor.

You can't stop the bite of the sharp jaws.

The bite value of up to several tons can easily destroy the external armor and then cut the flesh and blood humans in half.

On the way to escape, the new recruits have witnessed too many comrades and companions who died tragically in the ruthless attack of the black-spine beetles.

Their limbs scattered on the ground were also eaten by the red beetles under the insect tide, and they died without a complete body...

The horrible scene like hell is still unforgettable. Even when sleeping, they often wake up and have nightmares.

So these recruits who survived by chance are not suitable to continue fighting at present.

Lin Feng did not want to force them to go to the battlefield again, so as not to escape and cause a greater crisis.

Arrange them to follow the veterans and take care of the remaining more than 80 tons of fine steel plates in the camp, which is more appropriate than pulling them to fight.

At about eight o'clock, the Land Cruiser where Lin Feng was drove directly into the mud outside the highway, followed by thirty off-road vehicles and pickup trucks.

Although these civilian vehicles are not as professional as military vehicles, they are much more comfortable than the previous troop carriers, and the skylights on the roof are opened, and they can also attack the black-spine beetle swarms with the cooperation of other teammates.

Ten minutes later, after driving 13 kilometers, they saw the red beetles constantly emerging from the front line, as well as a large number of earth piles and holes.

The pace of the Zerg invasion has not stopped.

Lin Feng announced the stop of the car, took out the shotguns from the storage space from the exit behind the battleship, and distributed one to each member of the team present.

5,000 rounds of spare ammunition and more than a hundred shotguns can easily deal with an army of tens of thousands of black-spine insects.

After the distribution, Lin Feng immediately ordered to continue moving forward.

But as the team went deeper, Lin Feng did not find any black-spine insects in the Zerg hinterland through his upgraded telepathy, including the collapsed outposts nearby and the collapsed outposts in the distance.

In addition to the red beetles collecting human corpses, the black-spine insects responsible for daily patrols seemed to have disappeared, not only in the south of Wucheng where Lin Feng was, but also on the front battlefield.

Faced with such a strange phenomenon, Lin Feng couldn't help but wonder, is it possible that the Queen Mother was frightened and took the initiative to shrink the front line to prevent him from continuing to fleece her?

Although killing three tiger spine insects in an instant was a bit exaggerated, it was also a surprise attack on them. They didn't expect that there would be a threat from the sky from humans.

After all, under the joint patrol of the green-winged insects and wind-winged insects, the precious flying weapons of the human side, such as the third-generation and fourth-generation fighters, which numbered only a few thousand, and hundreds of armed helicopters, had already been killed and scrapped.

These fearless insects, because of their special structure, have extremely strong maneuverability. The heat-sensitive tracking missiles cannot mark them, and the laser lock cannot keep up. They stop at a speed in disguise.

As early as the beginning of the war, a large number of fighters unfortunately crashed into the flesh of hundreds of flying Zergs.

It also indirectly led to a decline in firepower support for the army, and it was impossible to bomb the Zerg tide in large quantities.

The army fought alone, but it was difficult to support itself...

In the future, they could only launch supersonic missiles at long range, rely on locking the target in advance, and achieve penetration at high speed, but even so, the effect was minimal.

After the failure of the "decapitation plan" of the ground-penetrating missile, not only the second-level Zerg, but also the queen mother, relaxed their vigilance against the threat from the air.

After all, in their minds, the Zerg had already mastered the crucial air supremacy.

But now this situation was completely broken by Lin Feng's sudden appearance.

Currently, they dared not let the black-spine swarm come out and take the bomb with their bodies.

Looking at the empty and lonely loess wasteland, Lin Feng thought of another possibility.

With Cheng Zhan, the parasitic mother, leaking information, it is impossible for the Zerg Queen not to know that humans are plotting a biological genetic modification plan.

If the message the Mother Queen received that day was sent back by the mother body, and it was being chased by human genetic warriors, then it would be very reasonable to send three second-order tiger spine worms to respond.

The three tiger spine worms were directly sent to ensure the rescue of the parasitic mother. The most important thing was to test the genetic warriors that humans had high hopes for.

Understand the strength of the genetic warrior's ability and whether it can help mankind and reverse the one-sided war.

It poses a threat to the safety of the Queen Mother.

However, due to a strange combination of circumstances, Lin Feng unexpectedly appeared and instantly killed three second-order tiger spine worms, as well as the parasitic mother.

The Queen Mother, who did not know the specific situation, could only believe that this tragic failure was caused by human genetic warriors.

Qin Hu's combat power will definitely be overestimated by the Queen Mother, who even believes that humans can mass-produce powerful genetic warriors by capturing first-order and second-order Zerg races.

After all, the modified genetic warriors not only have the blessing and increase of Zerg genes, but also can stimulate their own abilities, and their combat power far exceeds those of the same level...

Able to fight one against three or more in the wild.

In addition, humans can still retain brain consciousness, and their intelligence level is smarter than most second-order Zerg races...

Allowing black spine worms and tiger spine worms to be captured and taken away alive to mass-produce genetic warriors for humans is the worst loss for the Zerg!

So the Mother Queen came to the conclusion that even if the insect swarms under her command were killed on the spot, they could not be captured alive by humans.

So we simply canceled the originally arranged patrol mission of black spine insects, and only let the low-level red beetles continue to build nests and collect food for the insect swarm...

All black spine worms are arranged near their mother nests deep underground.

Firstly, it can better protect the upgraded hibernation of the Queen Mother, and secondly, it can also prevent being captured by humans, which will increase the enemy's combat power in vain.

Of course, Lin Feng didn't know this, and the Thirteenth Division, whose morale was low, had been frightened out of the fight with the Zerg, and was even less likely to take the initiative to engage in a field battle with the Zerg.

It is precisely because of this that the Queen Mother dares to do this.

But now this problem was placed in front of Lin Feng.

He didn't know that the Mother Queen was in an upgrade dormant state. The desolate and strange hinterland of the Zerg at this moment was when the entire Zerg was at its most vulnerable.

If you miss it, the upgraded lv34 Queen Mother will have more powerful strength and declare her rule at the mid-level third level!

By then, the Queen Mother in the middle of the third level will not only be able to multiply the number of low-level Zerg hatched and controlled, but even the second-level Zerg will also gain ability upgrades after collecting and absorbing human powers.

When the new second-level Zerg enters the battlefield, it will definitely catch humans by surprise.

Moreover, as the mother queen of the biological arsenal, she has carried out specialized and targeted evolution of the human strategy of building fortress defense lines.

By then, even if they hide in a strong outpost and fortress, it will be difficult to escape the Zerg's iron-footed giant jaws!

At the moment, Lin Feng, the only one who can threaten the Queen Mother to complete the upgrade, is in a dilemma.

He finally boosted his morale and made his subordinates willing to follow him back to the battlefield, but he didn't expect to encounter such a strange phenomenon.

In order to lure out the Black Spine Worms and attract the attention of the Zerg Clan, Lin Feng then ordered Shen Jie to lead some team members to drive to the edge of the Zerg Clan territory and use heavy machine guns to kill the red beetles near the entrance of the cave.

Just like the previous seduction tactics, the massive death of the red beetle swarm was used to attract the black spine beetles to come and check it out.

As the click of heavy machine guns resounded in the wasteland, hundreds of red beetles died in an instant, and they hid in the cave one after another, not daring to poke their heads out.

As far as the eye can see, in the hundreds of acres of the Zerg hinterland, apart from the complex wormholes underground, there is not a single living bug in sight.

Lin Feng frowned even more tightly. Chen Yanyan, who was piloting a battleship in front of her, turned around and asked:

"How about we just drive in and search."

"It's a pity that the life radar doesn't have enough energy, otherwise it would be able to detect one kilometer underground."

Seeing Shen Jie and others returning home disappointed, Lin Feng fell into deep thought.

He originally planned to use the upgraded lv20 land cruiser as a trump card to deal with the possible emergence of tiger spine insect swarms. Relying on a company of hundreds of Awakeners, they used shotguns to wildly kill the Black Spine army, and then forced the Tiger Spine insects to join the battle.

But I didn't expect that not only the tiger spine worms were gone, but even the black spine worms that usually roamed the streets could not be detected using telepathy.

Now we have to either go home or take the risk and lead the team members deep into the wormhole.

In the former case, Lin Feng's efforts would be in vain and his high fighting morale would be wasted, while in the latter case, he would have to bear unpredictable dangers.

In particular, these disappeared black spine worms and tiger spine worms are likely to be hidden in a secret cave somewhere. Using shotguns or armor-piercing cannons to fight underground will definitely destroy the cave structure and cause collapse.

The buried Zerg can still be dug out by red beetles, but Lin Feng is in dire straits.

To fight deep into the wormhole, only a small number of elite team members must be dispatched, and they must mainly use melee weapons to ensure a safe return in the end.

The genetic warriors cultivated by the institute are very suitable.

As for now, Lin Feng felt that only he and Shen Jie could meet the standard. The rest of the team members did not have the courage and strength to start a close battle with the Black Spine Worm.

Unless he can equip everyone with a set of red black armor above level 10, and cold weapons that can break the black-backed insect's shell defense.

The black-backed insect army that has no trace of insects has already denied the feasibility of this plan.

Just when Lin Feng was in a dilemma, the equipment asked Chen Yanyan to drive the Land Cruiser to go deep into the heart of the insect swarm to conduct a scan and investigation...

Shen Jie, who failed to perform the seduction mission, walked to the Land Cruiser and proposed another solution:

"Why don't we go further south to see, I remember the report that two Zerg queens invaded Haicheng, and to the south of the Yangtze River estuary is the coastal city of Ningcheng, where there is also a queen."

"It should have invaded Jiacheng now."

"The Zerg there has not encountered much counterattack, maybe they are not so vigilant, and it is easy to succeed."

Shen Jie's words instantly opened up Lin Feng's mind. At present, they are not short of fuel and weapons, and there is no need to keep an eye on the queen in front of them.

It is completely possible to go south to deal with the queen who does not have much combat experience.

Anyway, the failure of the Wucheng blocking battle is only a matter of time, and the soldiers under his command don’t have much nostalgia for it.

Killing insects anywhere is killing them?

Of course, you have to pick the weak ones.

Lin Feng took out his mobile phone and looked at the map he had downloaded before. Jiacheng is just below Wucheng, only more than 20 kilometers away from their current location.

If you start from the temporary camp in the Haicheng service area, it will be even closer, only 15 kilometers.

There is no decent resistance in the entire Ningcheng and Jiacheng, so the queen there should have successfully expanded into Jiacheng...

But after a while, Lin Feng looked at the map, and the worries that had just been put down in his heart rose again.

Because from the map, if the Zerg queen that landed in Ningcheng invaded Jiacheng by borrowing a road, there is a high probability that it will continue to expand along the northwest direction all the way to the back of Taihu Lake...

Thereby cutting off the retreat of the 13th Division and Lin Feng and others again!

The research institute once said that the survival and reproduction of the Zerg requires a lot of water. They will use rivers or large lakes as a springboard to invade the mainland.

As one of the four major lakes in the Federation, the Great Lake is likely to attract many queens.

Once the Zerg obtains sufficient water, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Jincheng in the rear and Huizhou, which is close to the south of the Yangtze River.

It is reasonable for Lin Feng to take action and try to stop the queen of Jiacheng from continuing to go north.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately agreed with Shen Jie's suggestion, and then summoned Li Ran and other captains to announce this decision.

After everyone reached a consensus, they turned the car around and took the highway to the Jiacheng North Service Area.

As the convoy continued to move forward, a large number of wormholes appeared near the ring highway.

There were also many red beetles, continuing to dig.

Compared with the red beetles in Wucheng, they were not only not vigilant about the appearance of the convoy, but also took the initiative to explore and attack, and needed to harvest human flesh and blood.

In return, the heavy machine guns that poked out of the car window fired a large-caliber bullet.

They were beaten to pieces.

However, the successive deaths of their companions did not frighten the swarm of insects. Instead, they gathered a large group of red beetles from the cave entrance and wanted to launch a general attack on humans.

Lin Feng seemed not to have seen this scene for a long time.

The last time he experienced it was when he escaped from Haicheng before becoming an awakener.

It seems that the swarm of insects here are really silly and cute.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately ordered everyone to move freely and attack in multiple places in a small team mode.

Anyway, a dozen heavy machine guns can deal with hundreds of red beetles, and there is no value in using shotguns.

And as the red beetle swarms died one after another, they fell on the edge of Jiacheng City in large groups, and the number of corpses reached a terrifying number of thousands...

If this were handed over to ordinary people, hundreds of level 9 enhanced people could be born in a short period of time!

Not long after, a large group of black-spine insects came from the city. They passed through the streets and alleys and attacked Lin Feng's convoy directly.

Looking at the swarm of black-spine insects attacking in front of him, it was completely different from the Queen Mother of Haicheng, who was finely controlling and jumping left and right to avoid shells...

It was just a large army approaching.

Lin Feng put down the scope of the armor-piercing gun in his hand and smiled...

It's time to teach this inexperienced and arrogant Queen Mother a lesson!

Hundreds of soldiers relied on vehicles to form a temporary semicircular position, and behind them was the sergeant's land cruiser.

They were excited, but not afraid, and held the shotgun tightly in their hands.

Even if hundreds of black-spine insects in the distance had already rushed into the maximum range of 5 kilometers...

But in order to kill as many as possible, they were all left here... Everyone held their breath and waited patiently, and the sergeant watching behind them gave orders!

Four kilometers, three kilometers, two kilometers...

As the insect tide pressed forward step by step...

The last kilometer...

Five hundred meters!!

Staring at the aggressive black-spine insects.

Everyone was so nervous that their hearts were already in their throats.

But without orders, they could not fire without authorization.

This was the moment to exercise one's willpower the most!

It was also the best way to overcome the fear in one's heart!

Until the front row of this group of black-spine insects had rushed to a hundred meters away, many people's arms and bodies began to tremble with nervousness!

Only to hear Lin Feng, who was standing on the bow, give an order!

"Fire!"

Hundreds of level 19 shotguns,

fired a volley of shells!!

Boom boom, boom boom boom!!!

Boom boom, boom boom boom

Are you setting off fireworks on New Year's Eve?
