Chapter 119 Lin Feng Lv25, Decision to Explore Alone
With the lv25 armor-breaking railgun in hand and the lv25 flying tiger armor with a defense power of up to 400 points, Lin Feng was confident that he could move freely in the city.
Because the tall buildings can effectively block threats from the sky, such as swarms of green-winged insects and the second-order wind-winged insects that Lin Feng has always been worried about.
Especially for the latter, the extreme speed dive is faster than Lin Feng's reaction speed. Unless he can activate the bullet time attribute in advance, he can see the traces of the wind-winged insects.
But in the city, the high-rise buildings that once protected the tiger spine insects from retreating will also become a safe zone to protect Lin Feng from doing whatever he wants, and no longer need the protection of warships.
Lin Feng stood on the bow of the ship, looking at Jiacheng in the distance. He took a deep breath and called up his attribute panel:
"Lin Feng, lv22/29, being upgraded."
"HP 320, Constitution 320, Spirit 345"
After completing the armor-piercing cannon upgrade, Lin Feng directly started his personal upgrade.
One's own strength is also very important for the subsequent penetration into the city. The gap between the late second level and the early stage is more obvious than that of the first level.
The upgrade to lv23 is now completed:
"Lin Feng, lv23/29"
"HP 370, constitution 370, spirit 395"
At this moment, Lin Feng's physical fitness alone was stronger than any second-level early stage tiger spine insect. After putting on the flying tiger armor and protecting his body, he could even kill the early stage tiger spine insect with his bare hands with more than ten tons of power.
Lin Feng did not stop, and planned to start the next stage of leaping and upgrading after eating and drinking.
Arriving at the living area inside the battleship, Lin Feng told Chen Yanyan, who was preparing lunch in the kitchen, about his inner thoughts of exploring Jiacheng.
After the individual soldier rations are cooked in a pot and heated, add some condiments and it becomes a hot home-cooked meal, which is similar to what the soldiers eat, but with Chen Yanyan's magical cooking skills, the texture and taste are improved by several levels.
After she heard Lin Feng's plan and came over with a pot of broth, she thought about it again and again and agreed:
"You're right. If you want to infiltrate a big city with a population of one million, just relying on a few of us is like a drop of water pouring into the sea without making a single wave..."
"He will be found out by the Queen Mother. Just like before, he will be attacked from both sides in the end."
"The battleship is too conspicuous right now. You have the flying ability of the battle armor, so you don't have to worry about evacuation in the city. But the question is what should we do with these people?"
"Should they withdraw first? Or should they follow the land cruiser? If they are too far away from you, the weapons in their hands will lose their effectiveness. If the insect wave attacks, the firepower of a single battleship cannot handle it... "
Lin Feng nodded. Before they ventured into Jiacheng, they had only walked three or four kilometers in total. They were still about ten kilometers away from the real city center...
However, even when he was groping around the edge of the city, he almost fell into an ambush by the Zerg. If the second-order tiger spine insects did not come from a distance this time,
Instead, it broke out from the ground under everyone's feet...
Except for the land cruiser and Lin Feng himself, the rest of the vehicle crew members will suffer serious injuries.
Even if Lin Feng notified them in advance, they would still be surrounded by the army of black spine insects that arrived, and finally they would be destroyed by the jaws of the tiger spine insects.
Lin Feng originally planned to let Li Ran and others stay in the suburbs to provide off-site support, but now Shen Jie, who has the highest combat power, will enter the second level of awakening at any time. Not only will he lose his combat ability for a period of time, but he will also have to send additional people. Protect him.
This makes the team, whose strength has been greatly reduced, even more stretched.
After thinking about it, Lin Feng finally chose the latter:
"Okay, let them go back first."
"Looking at it now, this Zerg mother queen is probably too scared to fight with us on the outskirts of the city, and she has no intention of taking revenge..."
"Its own strength is much weaker than the one in Haicheng. If there are not many second-order subordinates, this may be an opportunity for us to understand the Zerg more deeply."
Chen Yanyan nodded and smiled:
"Then I'll stay here and drive the battleship around the outskirts of Jiacheng. I'll fire a few cannons from time to time to attract the attention of the Zerg and cover your infiltration operations."
Lin Feng hummed. In fact, as long as Chen Yanyan had no objection to this matter, it would basically be settled.
Previous experience has proven that land cruiser warships cannot enter the city unless they go on a rampage and cause havoc. In this operation, Lin Feng also needed to have a backup plan so that the warships could respond outside the city.
The cover operation must be carried out by Chen Yanyan, so her opinion must be sought before execution.
Fortunately, besides worrying about Lin Feng's safety, Chen Yanyan has always put her man first in other matters.
After making arrangements for the afternoon, Chen Yanyan had a simple lunch and looked at the slightly dilapidated city in the distance...
Suddenly he noticed something and asked:
"Lin Feng, look, why Jiacheng was completely occupied by the Zerg, but the buildings inside were not destroyed..."
"Even if Jiacheng has not organized a resistance force, it should not be so complete..."
"Do you remember Haicheng? When we escaped, a large number of buildings in Haicheng were damaged, especially the excavation of wormhole burrows. The collapse of the ground surface caused the roads to crack, and the houses tilted or collapsed directly..."
Lin Feng put down the bowl and followed Chen Yanyan's gaze to look out the window. At Haicheng University, tens of thousands of red beetles gathered in the square. They were in full swing to open up the deep tunnel where the Queen Mother was born.
As for a fallen city like Jiacheng that remains unchanged, it seems that we have never seen it before.
In the videos circulated on the Internet, coastal cities will become devastated by the destruction of the Zerg regardless of whether a resistance war breaks out.
This is the first time I have seen the situation in Jiacheng.
Lin Feng shrugged and thought of an explanation:
"Maybe this queen is too weak and has no extra troops to destroy the city, or maybe it has left Jiacheng and is just passing by, so it did not dig a large nest here."
Chen Yanyan nodded. She was just a little worried about Lin Feng's risky decision. She wanted to detect the traces of danger from the details to avoid accidents after going deep into the city.
"I am not worried about the second-level tiger spine insects and wind wing insects. The key is the parasitic mother you mentioned before, the second-level spiritual system in the Zerg..."
Chen Yanyan slowly stretched out her hand, controlled the battleship, and opened a window on one side:
"Psychic ability is different from the physical attack of the entity. Psychic attack is the direct control of energy. It is invisible and colorless, mysterious and unpredictable..."
"If you are not careful, it is easy to fall into its trap."
Lin Feng's eyes condensed slightly and nodded seriously.
What Chen Yanyan said was right. Similar to the parasitic mother, this kind of rare second-level spiritual system Zerg is actually what he should be most wary of.
Last time, when facing the parasitic Cheng Zhan, he was in a trance for a short time under its sudden mental attack.
Fortunately, he first solved the threat of the tiger spine worm before approaching. If he was attacked mentally in the melee in the tunnel, his consciousness would be interrupted for half a second...
And this moment of sluggishness would cost his life in a life-and-death duel!
Fortunately, Lin Feng's mental attribute value was permanently enhanced by 30 points after killing a second-level parasitic mother. As long as he focused his mind, he would not be easily disturbed.
At this time, Lin Feng had eaten and drunk enough. After getting up and kissing Chen Yanyan, he comforted her a few words and then returned to the bedroom.
Prepare to start the upgrade and enhancement of his own lv24.
As a stream of heat flowed into his body from the gun body, the majestic energy comparable to the second-level awakening upgrade surged in Lin Feng's body.
But Lin Feng, who had completed the lv23 upgrade, had an attribute value of nearly 400 points, and a strong body that could safely withstand the transformation of this energy.
Half an hour later, when Lin Feng opened his eyes...
Looking at the data in front of him, his face was delighted:
"Lin Feng, lv24/29"
"HP 470, PH 470, SP 495"
"Note: Starting from lv24 and above, the basic value is increased by 100 each time you upgrade, and the value that breaks the limit can be inherited"
Sure enough, the surprise brought by this upgrade is that the genetic defects of humans are compensated and they begin to keep pace with the upgrade of the Zerg.
This also means that after the middle stage of the second stage, the gap between the physical attributes of humans and the Zerg will become smaller and smaller as the level increases.
It's a pity that no one knows it yet.
After all, there is no awakener like Lin Feng who has been upgraded by rocket all the way on Blue Star.
At this moment, Chen Yanyan walked out of the bathroom nearby, holding only a bath towel, and walked to the bed, crawling from between Lin Feng's legs to his chest, with her fingers on her abdomen:
"What, is the awakening of killing insects completed? You seem so excited..."
Lin Feng nodded, smiled, and started the final lv25 upgrade.
…………
At two o'clock in the afternoon, seeing that his soldiers were gradually resting, the city in front of him was still as quiet as a dead city, except for the strange smell of Zerg from time to time, there was no trace of life.
Neither the Zerg's revenge counterattack was seen, nor were there traces of a large number of red beetles in the scope.
This strange phenomenon made everyone, who were already on high alert, become worried.
The Zerg never gave up until they achieved their goal, especially for outsiders who invaded their territory, and they would kill and expel the enemies one by one even at the cost of their lives.
This point has been fully confirmed during the Wucheng blocking battle, and now the Jiacheng Zerg in front of everyone, who showed cowardice when resisting the invaders, has refreshed everyone's understanding of the Zerg...
Could it be that the high-level Zerg are also different.
Just like people are very different from each other.
Perhaps their personalities and behavior patterns are not based on the same habits, but each has its own characteristics.
After all, the second-level Zerg can show an intelligence level that is no less than that of humans. The Zerg queen with a mental value of thousands has a brain tissue that is estimated to be as large as a small truck, which is no worse than that of humans.
At this moment, seeing the Zerg huddled underground, Li Ran and other captains sitting on the warship began to worry in their hearts whether the sergeant in front of them would issue an absurd order to follow him into the Zerg cave.
Because they ventured into the city before and were besieged by the Zerg, although they were lucky not to die in the end, more than ten people were injured to varying degrees.
The most serious one was directly broken a leg.
Because he walked a step too slowly, he was bitten by the black-spine insect. Fortunately, he was wearing a set of level 9 red armor to resist the tearing damage.
But the inside of his thigh was shattered, and the muscle tissue was even more shattered. He was dragged with his tendons and skin only because of the protection of the red armor.
He lost more than one-tenth of his combat power at once.
This was also a big blow to the company of only more than a hundred people.
In Li Ran's opinion, they were only suitable for fighting in areas with open vision, using high-damage shotguns to concentrate firepower output, or relying on the mobility of vehicles to continuously pull the insect tide army and eliminate the enemy in motion.
The new recruits holding heavy weapons had no experience in street fighting, and their caution and reaction speed needed a period of hard training.
Many new recruits were injured because of accidental injuries caused by the explosion of shotguns fired at close range.
Fortunately, the awakened ones were strong enough, and with the protection of the lv9 red armor, they managed to survive.
The corridor was already like this, and the narrow wormhole was even more restrictive for heavy firepower.
So if Lin Feng planned to lead people deep into the underground wormhole, Li Ran would definitely raise objections.
There was no follow-up reinforcement at the moment, and it was not easy to train a hundred awakened people, so they couldn't be buried here in vain.
With Cheng Zhan's example in front of him, Li Ran didn't want the team to be full of traitors.
However, when Lin Feng turned around and said something that surprised everyone present:
"There are two possibilities at the moment. The first is what I said before. Each high-level Zerg is different. The one in front of us has been scared by us, so it stays indoors."
"And the second possibility is that they have already ambushed a trap deep in the city, waiting for us to fall into the trap."
"It is obvious that no matter which one, it is no longer suitable for our soldiers to continue fighting."
"Excuse me, they are still too weak. Although this time of fighting in the wild has increased their strength a little, and many have broken through to The middle and even late stages of the first stage."
"But it is far from being able to withstand close-range high-intensity combat. However, when the future Wucheng battle is over, we will retreat to Jincheng..."
"That is a Jiangnan prefecture with a population of tens of millions."
"Our soldiers will soon face countless street battles."
"If they don't grow up early, the Zerg's giant jaws will teach them how to fight alive."
"That's it for today, you retreat first."
Li Ran was stunned. Although he thought the sergeant was right, he heard Lin Feng's last tone and it seemed that he didn't mean to go back together.
"Well, what about you?"
Lin Feng looked back at the quiet Jiacheng in the distance:
"This queen will probably rush to Taihu Lake to draw water in a few days, and then take over Jincheng."
"I want to find out its attack habits and its general strength before that."
"If everything goes well, we will come again tomorrow."
"Go into the heart of Jiacheng, kill more second-level Zergs, and take the high-end forces in the team to the next level."
As he said this, Lin Feng nodded gently to Zhang Liying, who was attending on behalf of Shen Jie.
After announcing the adjournment, he followed her to the back of the off-road vehicle where Shen Jie was resting.
The body of the lv22 tiger spine worm killed by Shen Jie was checked in a truck nearby.
At this moment, Shen Jie was lying on the square cushion in the back of the car, with black armor and blood vessels on his face.
His upgrade seemed to be different from that of ordinary people.
But Lin Feng didn't have much experience. The number of awakeners who naturally upgraded to the second level in the entire federation could probably be counted on one hand, not counting those who were genetically modified.
The second-order awakening has the greatest impact on superpowers. It may be that Lin Feng's copying superpower has changed less, so the reaction brought by the second deep awakening is not obvious.
For Shen Jie, who has awakened to devouring and assimilation, the superpower itself has a great impact on the body, and even directly changed from a human to a bug.
Today's second-order awakening may even cause amazing changes in the internal organ structure.
According to Zhang Liying's introduction, Shen Jie's awakening was not voluntary, but the stagnant energy became more and more active as he ate-
Finally, it could not be suppressed and suddenly released itself at about one o'clock.
At that moment, he fell to the ground and fainted, which frightened Zhang Liying so much that she supported him to lie in the car.
Lin Feng comforted him a few words. For general physical superpowers, the awakening process is not dangerous. As long as you can get through the initial stage of infiltration and fusion, the follow-up will be very easy.
Arrange a team of people to cooperate with Zhang Liying to protect Shen Jie's safety. Lin Feng stood at the tail of the battleship and watched the convoy of 30 cars and trucks disappear at the end of the highway...
Then he packed up his equipment and prepared to set off.
Before leaving, Chen Yanyan walked out of the cab and handed Lin Feng a replica of the shotgun:
"I think you need this more than I do, take it with you."
Lin Feng looked at the woman, took the shotgun, hung it diagonally on the other side of his shoulder, and pressed down the arm guard on her wrist:
"When you leave the battleship, remember to wear the red black armor. This is a life-saving detail. Don't forget the man who died in front of us."
Then he patted the woman's shoulder and jumped off the battleship.
Chen Yanyan, who was covered in black and red armor, opened her visor and looked at Lin Feng who was walking dozens of meters away, and shouted:
"Don't forget to go with me to see your family and sister-in-law Yu Rou."
Lin Feng didn't look back, raised his arm and waved, signaling the woman to go back.
This was the first time Lin Feng acted alone, and it was a dangerous mission deep into the heart of the Zerg. Chen Yanyan's worry was beyond words. After returning to the cab, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes...
Pat her cheeks to cheer herself up and cover and contain Lin Feng.
On the other side, in order to avoid the hidden reconnaissance sight of the Zerg in the city, Lin Feng ran at full speed and called up the latest upgraded attribute data in front of him:
"Lin Feng, lv25/29"
"HP 570, PH 570, SP 595"
Such a strong physique attribute allowed him to run faster than 150 meters per second, faster than the first-level green-winged insect.
Although it is not as fast as the flying speed of the wind-winged insect, it is far faster than the huge tiger-spine insect of the same level.
At that time, even if the flying mode of the flying tiger armor is limited in use in the cave, Lin Feng can rely on the explosive power of his legs to escape all the way...
Thinking of this, Lin Feng slowed down and, relying on telepathy, carefully moved deeper into the city...
