Chapter 160 The Source of Zerg Artistic Conception, the Battle to Recapture

"Congratulations on successfully destroying a biological nest!"

"Kill the mutant mother - the node symbiote"

"Acquired ten second-level upgrade energy..."

"Obtain the gift of the node symbiont: the spiritual energy of the Zerg artistic conception"

"The source of the Zerg artistic conception: after absorption, you can deeply read the secrets of the Zerg, the mental attribute is +100, and you can have a certain chance of parsing out the relevant artistic conception skills."

"Second-level upgrade energy: you can upgrade orange-quality equipment or items, or you can upgrade yourself."

The further down he looked, the more joy filled Lin Feng's eyes.

Ten second-level upgrade energy can effectively solve the current upgrading consumption of the land cruiser, and there is no need to waste precious second-level insect eggs.

Thus creating more second-level awakened beings.

Lay the foundation for the formation of the second-level legion.

What surprised Lin Feng the most was that there were additional rewards for killing the node matrix. Looking at the introduction, it was the same as the spiritual world he experienced last time.

After absorbing the source of this artistic conception, you can enter the artistic conception inheritance of the Zerg. In addition to the basic mental attributes increasing by an additional 100, there is also a certain chance of obtaining high-level artistic conception skills such as genetic radiation.

In this way, Lin Feng will have more backup cards when killing the high-level Queen Mother.

But now is not a good time to absorb it. You have to wait until you return to the camp, adjust your condition, and try again.

Behind him, Chi Yi is controlling more red beetles and widening the entrance wormhole of the hatching nest.

The five tiger spine insect guards she had controlled before had all died in the blocking battle. Although their deaths successfully prevented the tiger spine insect swarm from invading and prevented everyone from being attacked from both sides, it also blocked the entrance to the entire insect nest.

So now we can only rely on red beetles to dig wide walls of the cave to take out the insect corpses.

This was the situation that Lin Feng was most worried about. Fortunately, with the help of Zhiyi, he didn't have to worry about being trapped for too long.

Seeing Lin Feng approaching, Zhiyi glanced sideways slightly, his eyes glowing with golden light suddenly condensed and tightened.

She felt that there seemed to be something different about Lin Feng, a mental change. It was obvious that the other party's mental strength before was slightly inferior to mine...

But now it seems even stronger.

After Xu Shi killed the node mother, he absorbed the opponent's life energy and received additional gifts.

This situation is very common. As the prototype of the realm, artistic conception will automatically spread out and infect the nearby environment, which is why the life in the universe is so powerful.

The artistic conception pollution caused by killing the cosmic races is equally fatal to some planet natives.

This will gradually distort their genes and become some kind of continuation of the cosmic race.

For example, genetic warriors, such as Shen Jie who is caught in a mood at the moment, it is difficult to say whether they are still pure humans or Zerg...

"Where are these bodies?"

Looking at Lin Feng with a smile on his face, he pointed at the digged-out tiger spine insect corpse in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng waved the lv27 chain sword in his hand, cutting off the second-level giant jaw on the insect corpse, and also continued to upgrade the tiger-tooth chain sword.

Killing the lv29 peak tiger spine insect before and cutting a second-level insect egg helped repair Shen Jie's injuries, just to collect the upgrade points for the next round.

"Just transport the Jaws out together."

"Wait, the node mother body is dead, then all the insect swarms in this insect nest..." Lin Feng cut off several pairs of second-order giant jaws one after another, intending to take them back to the land cruiser or the replica tank for fusion use. But suddenly he thought of the death of the node mother body, and the second-order tiger spine insect swarm outside the cave entrance that was about to rush in, but disappeared at this moment...

So I thought of some possibility.

Zhiyi followed Lin Feng's words and nodded:

"Yes, they suddenly lost control and became a mess. At this time, the instinct of survival trumps everything else. Don't worry about the soldiers staying at the hole on the surface. Their powerful firepower is enough to deal with tens of thousands of Black Spine Worm swarms."

"As for the second-order tiger spine insects outside the cave, I have already controlled them to maintain the order of the main road."

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows:

"Your mental attributes have also exceeded the upper limit of the second level and reached the third stage. How many tiger spine insects can you control currently? How far can you control it?"

The corner of Xie's mouth raised slightly, and he waved to summon a giant red beetle, sitting on its back:

"What do you think? It's probably no less than twenty..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhiyi's face suddenly changed slightly, his golden eyes looked to the left, and his tone turned low:

"Here they come."

Lin Feng tightened his grip on the tiger-tooth chain sword and electromagnetic gun, and activated his telepathy:

"Haicheng or the north?"

The locust began to urge the red beetle swarm to act quickly and multi-purpose:

"Haicheng. The second-order Tiger Ridge Insect hatchling nest has been destroyed, and it must be the one who is anxious. The one in the north will not end so easily. Only when we show our weakness will it surround us and pick peaches..."

Lin Feng felt temporarily relieved in his heart. In fact, what he was worried about was the Queen Mother from the north coming in person.

After all, the two places are only a dozen kilometers apart.

With his current situation and the fatigue of his team members, he is simply unable to withstand the Queen Mother's attack, and may even be destroyed here.

As for the Queen No. 76 in Haicheng, it is a full 150 kilometers away from here. No matter how fast it is, there is no way to come directly. At most, an elite second-level Zerg team will be dispatched.

For example, the mixed team of samurai hunting bugs and tiger spine bugs delays the retreat of human awakeners and tries to recover the losses of the bugs as much as possible.

"Then hurry up!"

Lin Feng shrugged, walked to the front of the team, aimed at the tiger spine insect corpse blocking the entrance, and kicked it out. Fortunately, the cave wall only cracked a little and did not collapse.

Xie shook his head, commanded the red beetle swarm, carried the eggs and giant jaw materials, quickly climbed out of the nest, and followed the second-order legion team in front to the surface of the cave roof.

"I'm coming to the back of the palace to see if I can collect more second-order tiger spine insect swarms." Chrysalis stood at the entrance, looked at Lin Feng in the insect swarm, and stopped.

The light source returned by telepathy showed that there were forty or fifty second-order tiger spine insects nearby, but they were scattered everywhere and could not be concentrated to catch them all.

"Are you sure you can protect yourself? Depending on Shen Jie's situation, I have to return to the surface first and lead the soldiers to evacuate."

"The elite second-order insect swarm that has come to support is almost here." Lin Feng warned, retreating as he walked.

The cockroach nodded, smiled and waved.

When Lin Feng's back disappeared into the uphill wormhole, she turned around, looked deeper into the ground, and whispered:

"Come on, let me try your depth."

As he spoke, multiple second-order tiger spine insects emerged from the darkness around him, swarming the larvae.

…………

Above the surface, in a community along the river surrounding the city.

Seven hundred soldiers have been hidden in the building, responsible for guarding the center of the community and the hole where the second-order legion team sneaked into.

However, more than an hour later, no swarm of insects was seen nearby, so everyone gradually relaxed their vigilance and began to take turns patrolling.

Among these 700 soldiers, more than 100 are veterans who once followed Lin Feng and have reached the late stage of the first level. The rest are new recruits who joined later. However, they also completed the first level in this battle. Awakening.

The number of awakened people can largely determine the strength of a team.

In particular, there is a gap between the awakened ones and the enhanced humans. When facing low-level black spine insects, the former can easily kill them with their own abilities and weapons and equipment, while the latter find it difficult to successfully challenge them.

When repelling the endless swarm of insect attacks, the powerful physique of the awakened ones is also one of the guarantees for persisting in the battle. At least their physical strength can keep up.

Two hours later, three o'clock in the afternoon.

The low-level Black Spine swarm that had been hiding inside the city suddenly appeared.

They rush and gather in groups, trying to get into the holes in the community.

The lv19 veterans who were named captains by Lin Feng all showed solemn expressions.

This is not the first time that they have faced the menacing tide of black spine worms, and they are very aware of their danger and terrifying destructive power.

The aggressiveness of this insect wave was obviously stronger than the previous tentative attacks.

At this moment, their goal is clear, just to break into the cave entrance and realize the second-order legion's flanking attack on humans. Even if you use your own insect corpses, you must hold back the insect nest invaders and keep them underground.

However, the sudden appearance of the insect swarm proved from the side that Master Lin's plan was about to succeed.

For the seven hundred soldiers, as long as they stick to the wormhole on the surface and survive in the end, it is victory!

Then the veteran who noticed the insect swarm gathering in the distance immediately shouted to everyone to get up and get ready for battle.

Squat behind the balcony windows of each floor to fight against the swarms of black spine insects that come from a distance.

We must keep the insect tide out of the community!

Several captains discussed together and decided to send out fifty veterans armed with shotguns to form a near-ground fire front to eliminate the possibility of sporadic black spine worms breaking in.

Then I saw several heavily armed soldiers walking out of each residential building. They formed a group of five people and began to guard the corridors between residential buildings.

This is also the blind spot for the corridor defenders.

The battle intensified with the firing of the first shotgun. More and more low-level insect swarms on the surface, under the control of the node mother, swarmed in desperately.

Piles of insect corpses were buried in the ruins as nearby buildings collapsed, and were then covered again by new corpses.

Like leeks, endless.

Swarms of black spine worms numbering in the tens of thousands are coming in droves.

The fearless charge allowed many late-stage Black Spine Worms of the first order to successfully break through the fire net in the residential building and break into the interior of the community, stepping on the corpses of the same kind. Then, using the blind spot of the shooting angle on the side of the building, they were about to reach the entrance of the cave. !

But what greeted them next was the muzzle of a gun raised close at hand, aiming at the fish that had slipped through the net and taking them away in piles.

By the end of the fight, the recruits' own large-caliber rifles and heavy machine guns, as well as hundreds of rounds of ammunition, were all used up.

Many veterans gave their shotguns to them for continued use. While maintaining fire suppression, they also allowed the recruits to quickly accumulate the energy needed for upgrades.

Two hundred shotguns and five thousand space-prepared bombs, as long as they can form an all-round fire front with no blind spots, are enough to eliminate hundreds of thousands of low-level insect swarms.

And the holder of it in advance can continuously withstand its powerful recoil.

Unlike the original electromagnetic gun held by Lin Feng, these copies only retain the basic attributes, and everything else can be kept simple.

With up to 190 points of terrifying damage, it naturally also inherits the recoil caused by the powerful firepower.

Every time a shot is fired, the cannon recoils, like a heavy hammer hitting the gunman's shoulder.

Therefore, the reason why Lin Feng did not directly equip the enhanced recruits with shotguns was because they were not even qualified to fire cannons. Even lv10 first-level awakeners could only recover from one shot before continuing to shoot.

Even replicas require corresponding levels, physical and mental attributes to control them and fully unleash their true power.

As the fierce battle passed by minute by second...

Finally, at four o'clock in the afternoon, an hour after the outbreak, everyone sniffed the battlefield air filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and insect blood, and saw the swarms of insects fleeing in all directions. They were instantly defeated.

Many veterans with rich combat experience showed doubts on their faces.

Because in the dozen or so battles they have experienced, there has never been such a large-scale defeat.

Even on several occasions, under the leadership of the Master Chief, the insect swarms were defeated steadily, and the evacuation of the alien insect swarms was still very orderly.

Even when everyone is chasing, they can organize effective combat power and carry out counterattack and encirclement.

This is a situation that has never appeared on the human battlefield.

According to the introduction of several senior members of the team, the low-level insect swarm has no self-awareness, just like robots, and is all controlled by the high-level mother queen of the insect race...

But now, the swarm of insects that were panicking and crowding at the exit of the street were defeated.

Let veterans think of a possibility.

"Did Master Chief and the others win?!"

"That's right, the division commander did it. Maybe he defeated the Zerg Mother Queen or drove them away..."

"In short, this small county town was successfully recovered!"

Several captains gathered together and pieced together the truth about the defeat of the insect swarm in a few words. They were immediately overjoyed and felt even more excited.

After all, this is the first time for humans to regain territory from the Zerg and regain an entire city!

Although it is only a small county town.

But it has an extraordinary meaning.

Even Wucheng's frontal defense line can only clear the surface wormholes of the Zerg and suppress their expansion speed. It cannot go deep underground and completely expel all the Zerg swarms.

But today, under the leadership of the newly formed second-order legion team, they successfully recaptured a city in less than half a day of fighting.

The power of the Master Chief,

Once again he made everyone admire him.

He also yearns extremely much to become a member of the second-order legion.

Soon after, there was a slight shaking on the ground, and at the entrance of the wormhole guarded by seven hundred soldiers, the second-order legion returned with a great victory.

When Liu Yi and others appeared at the entrance wearing red-orange battle armor covered with insect scum and blood stains, as well as extremely shocking evil aura...

Hundreds of soldiers came down from the tall buildings to greet the heroes.

Liu Yi raised his head, wiped off the sticky insect blood on his mask and goggles, and looked at the sun in the sky.

The temperature of the sun will hit your face.

There was a desire in my heart that I had never had before, wanting to bathe in the warmth of the sun.

The darkness and danger of the underground insect nest made everyone breathless, and every minute was torture.

On the way back, everyone naturally encountered the harassment of second-order tiger spine insects. Although they were separated from the command and control of the node mother, the previous instructions still worked, and the insect nest was invaded by foreign enemies. Killing the enemy was the tiger spine. Bugs, as the meaning of existence of advanced soldier bugs.

During the 300-meter climb, seven second-level awakeners encountered three waves of tiger spine insect teams, ten in total.

In the end, they used shotguns to severely injure them from a distance, and then used their fists and kicks to completely kill them in close combat!

At this moment, they have all advanced to the late second level, and many of them have quick reactions and have even reached level 29. The power between their fists and feet alone can reach eighty or ninety tons. It is natural to kill the tiger spine insects in the early and middle second level in close combat. Next words.

Throughout the whole battle, Lin Feng did not interfere again.

Firstly, they need to train, these newly promoted second-level legion members, and secondly, there are some things that need to be fought for with their own hands.

Lin Feng then used seven of the tiger spine insect giant jaws as rewards to help the seven members upgrade their red black armor to red tiger armor, which was almost the same as the flying tiger armor except that it did not have a flight mode.

Later, when they met the tiger spine insects again, the people who owned the red tiger armor were naturally worthy of close combat, and even eager to engage in hand-to-hand combat!

Next, all it takes is Fatty Ding’s tiger-toothed chain sword, and the second-order legion that Lin Feng imagined in his mind...

It can be completely formed.

The second level of awakened strength, coupled with the defense of tiger armor, is equipped with a shotgun for long-range attack and suppression, and a tiger-tooth chain sword for melee combat.

Such a team of members, even if they go deep into the underground insect nest, can block and kill insects and sweep away them invincibly.

At this moment, the legion members are experiencing the dangers underground for the first time, but they just want to be in the sun and feel more about the normal world.

While hundreds of soldiers cheered, they saw an extremely incredible scene:

Behind the legion team, I saw countless red beetle swarms, and on their backs...

The white second-order insect eggs carried on the back!

Even though many team members subconsciously raised their guns and aimed at them, fortunately, Liu Yi had already lifted his visor and saw everyone with nervous expressions.

He quickly ordered loudly:

"Put down the gun, they are not the enemy!"

After saying that, Liu Yi himself felt incredible.

But the experience of the underground insect nest was a hundred times more bizarre than the scene in front of me.

And what they can do...

Only believe.

Believe in the strange things I have experienced, believe in all this, believe that I am still alive...

And, trust the Master Chief unconditionally.
