Chapter 161 Speech, Awakening on the Spot, Shen Jie's War

When Liu Yi and others, due to a lack of words and sentences, and had not yet adjusted, they could only "difficultly" describe what happened underground, and at the same time explain the current situation...

Lin Feng, who was responsible for the finishing touches, slowly appeared in front of everyone after the last red beetle walked out of the cave.

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Lin Feng didn't explain much. He just spoke lightly and gave the order:

"Take a break for now. A fleet will arrive to meet you in an hour."

Then he walked towards the group of red beetles and found one of the special yellow-black eggs.

What was nurtured and hatched inside was Shen Jie who fell into the spiritual world of the Zerg.

And the outer armor that peeled off from his body also formed a hard shell with yellow and black stripes on the surface as the tissue fluid inside the insect eggs precipitated...

It feels more like the second-order tiger spine insect than the white second-order insect eggs, which should look like a cocoon.

At this moment, Shen Jie needs a stable environment while avoiding long-distance bumps.

Therefore, Lin Feng did not choose to leave directly, not to mention that the group of red beetles had to be allowed to continue to be controlled and commanded by Xie Yi.

Unless Lin Feng is willing to let hundreds of soldiers act as porters, that would be tantamount to suicide under the current circumstances.

The advantage of soldiers lies in the group firepower. One hundred soldiers equipped with shotguns and holding the line are enough to deal with tens of thousands of low-level insect swarms.

Coupled with the second-order legion squad guarding the four sides, it is obvious that the defensive strategy has more advantages.

Furthermore, Lin Feng couldn't just ignore him. At least before he could be confident of defeating the Haicheng Mother Queen alone, the cooperation between the two sides was indispensable.

After about ten minutes, after the second-order legion finished explaining in a few words, there was another round of whispers and discussions...

The soldiers discovered that there were more than 400 red beetles piled up in the open space of the entire community near the entrance of the cave. They did not make any attacks and just stayed in place.

Only then did everyone gradually believe that what the legion team's second-level awakeners said was true.

According to their introduction...

The mysterious scientist brought back by Mr. Lin has powerful spiritual superpowers. It is said that she knows the social structure of the Zerg very well, and has also gone deep underground to investigate the living habits of the Zerg.

This mission was able to be a complete victory without any danger, thanks to Zhiyi's real-time guidance and reminders.

However, Master Lin has already walked out of the cave for a long time, and the mysterious female scientist has not yet appeared. Even the members of the legion team began to discuss in low voices.

Maybe the other party had other personal matters, so he didn't withdraw with the team.

Such as exploring other types of insect nests.

The soldiers' eyes were focused more on the white second-order eggs on the back of the red beetle.

Counting carefully, there are as many as three or four hundred.

It is enough for all the current first-level peak awakeners to successfully pass the second stage of promotion and become second-level awakeners comparable to Superboy.

Some of the soldiers' attention was focused on the special insect eggs in front of Commander Lin.

From Liu Yi's description, it should be Captain Shen Jie's repair and healing cabin.

The members of the legion were in the mother nest where the second-order tiger spine insects were hatched by the underground worms, and they fought to the death with the guards in the nest, the second-order peak tiger spine insects.

If Captain Shen Jie hadn't been fearless and unafraid of death at that time, rushing to the front to help everyone block the 40-meter-long giant jaw attack of the tiger spine insect, otherwise most of the second-order legion team would have been killed or injured.

After Shen Jie risked his own life to gain the opportunity for the Master Chief to counterattack, he was unfortunately seriously injured.

Even if you pour in the nutrient solution of a whole second-order insect egg, it still won't help.

Fortunately, with the help of Chi Yi and the Zerg biotechnology, the physical injuries were temporarily stabilized. It was only a mental shock, and Shen Jie could only pray to himself.

To be honest, Captain Shen Jie's accident actually shocked and worried most of the soldiers more than the injuries or even death of other second-tier legion members!

You must know that Captain Shen Jie is the most powerful awakener in the entire Thirteenth Division, second only to Lin Feng. He once single-handedly killed the second-order tiger spine insect with only the late first-order. Now, even he has suffered such serious injuries.

Life or death is uncertain...

The danger and terror of the underground insect nest can be seen!

Many excited first-order peak awakeners began to hesitate after learning about Shen Jie's situation.

The eyes looking at the second-order insect eggs also changed from excitement to worry and confusion...

Because Lin Feng once said that the number of second-level insect eggs is extremely limited, and the Master Chief can give them to peak first-level awakeners for free to help them safely enter the second stage of deep awakening, but the price is... …

He wants to be incorporated into the second-level legion and become a super legion member who follows Lin Feng and fights deep underground.

There is no such thing as a free lunch,

Benefits and risks coexist.

In the legion team guarding near the red beetle swarm, Liu Yi, who replaced Shen Jie as the deputy captain, was keenly aware of the quiet changes in the soldiers' emotions...

He felt he should do something.

Then he stood up from the stone pier, releasing his powerful aura and showing off his new armor.

After completing the harvesting of half-hatched second-level insect eggs, Liu Yi and others have upgraded and evolved to the late second-level, and several of them have reached the peak level of the second-level.

That is the limit of the second stage, lv29.

Liu Yi, who is quick with his hands and feet, is one of them.

Although the upgrade process is a bit tricky and almost catalytic, the strength is genuine.

At this moment, the momentum was released, which immediately shocked all the soldiers present.

Among them were his former comrades, as well as new recruits from the Thirteenth Division.

Liu Yi looked at them and said in a deep voice:

"Being timid and hesitant will only make you more vulnerable."

"The world has changed a long time ago. If the Master Chief hadn't been willing to take us in and help us complete our awakening and evolution, how many of you here would be alive today?"

"In this catastrophe caused by the alien Zerg invasion, no one can survive alone. The only guarantee for survival is to keep fighting and strengthen yourself."

"I admit that the underground insect nest is indeed dangerous. You will witness many incredible things, and you will even see some weird monsters that can make people collapse..."

"But if you give up fighting because you are afraid of danger, what's the difference between you and those cowards who leave the battlefield?"

"Maybe now that you have become awakened ones, or even first-order peak awakened ones, you feel that you are already very strong. You want to return to the rear and live a good and stable life, and you don't want to continue to risk death and carry out extremely dangerous missions."

"Okay, I can understand..."

"But have you ever thought about what benefits this moment of comfort can bring you?"

"Not to mention how many years you can live, within half a year, if you leave the front line, the progress of awakening will be completely behind. When the front line is forced back to the rear by the Zerg, there will be countless second-level awakened people everywhere..."

"Compared to being unable to escape, unable to retreat, being held at gunpoint, and returning to the battlefield as cannon fodder, I think it is better to continue fighting now!"

"Today our second-level legion recaptured a county with just a few people. Maybe next week or next month, we can defend an entire city! Kill the high-level Zerg Empress, and finally, under the command of the division commander, Build a paradise in the end of the world!"

"And now, if you shrink back because of this, then humanity's hope of defeating the Zerg will inevitably be extinguished!"

"Ask yourself...is this final ending what you want?!"

"Tell me! Should you be a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong, and you won't wake up until the enemy's sharp blade falls on the back of your neck? Or should you take advantage of the opportunity now, seize it! Fight hard!"

Liu Yi's angry voice echoed in the residential buildings of the community, questioning every soldier present.

After a while, several old captains in the soldier group stood up one after another:

"Give it a try!"

"Give it a try!!"

Seeing his familiar comrades stand up, Liu Yi slowly breathed a sigh of relief and then said:

"Actually, as long as the equipment is complete, the underground insect nest is not dangerous for the second-order army. Even if we face the second-order insect army at close range, our army is still capable of fighting!"

Liu Yi then picked up a heavy machine gun and fired several shots into his breastplate.

A 12.7 mm caliber bullet, even if it is the outer armor of a black spine insect, can break through when concentrated at one point, but now it hit his red tiger armor without leaving even a mark.

On the contrary, the alloy warhead shattered directly under the strong impact and turned into several stray bullets.

The scene in front of them made all the soldiers present look surprised, and they couldn't stop the envy and longing in their eyes.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Liu Yi put down the heavy machine gun, wiped the bullet fragments on his chest with the back of his fingers, and continued:

"This is the Red Mysterious Armor you are wearing, which has been upgraded and transformed into a new armor by incorporating the giant jaws of the second-order tiger spine insect,"

"The division commander named it Red Tiger Armor."

"A solid armor that can withstand the attack of the second-order tiger spine insect. It is difficult for ordinary black spine insect attacks to leave even a mark."

"With it, when facing the second-order tiger spine insect swarm, I even dare to fight with my bare hands!"

"Remember, going deep into the underground insect nest does not mean you are going to die. You will be equipped with all the necessary countermeasures."

"And only by destroying more Zerg, will we become stronger as we fight! Step on the enemy's corpses and move towards victory!"

"Now, who wants to join it, become a member of the new second-level legion, and fight bravely on the frontline battlefield!?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Yi glanced at the circle of soldiers present with sharp eyes. It was like a spiritual trial, making everyone bow their heads in shame.

Most of the first-level peak veterans stood up with the captain, walked out of the crowd, and lined up neatly.

They were the first 201 company to follow Lin Feng, and they were the recruit company abandoned by the 13th Division. Without Lin Feng, they would have been killed when the first line of defense fell.

Because of this, they who followed Lin Feng through various battles were the most loyal direct descendants under Lin Feng.

At this moment, under the call of Liu Yi's impassioned speech, he naturally took the lead and walked to the stage to set a good example for the new soldiers.

Seeing so many people coming forward, the other soldiers who had just entered the first level of awakening also followed behind the veterans to show their determination.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yi turned around and ran to Lin Feng, who was not far away, to report the situation to him.

Lin Feng has been staying by the black and yellow eggs to prevent anything unexpected from Shen Jie so that he can understand the situation in time.

Naturally, Liu Yi's impassioned speech was under his watch and he acquiesced.

As the main force of future battles, the second-level corps needs multiple commanders to help Lin Feng share the pressure.

Shen Jie was originally scheduled to be one of them, but given his age, he was not mentally mature.

In addition to exceeding the standard in strength, in other aspects he is more like a lone wolf fighting alone. It is difficult to show his personality charm and he can only serve as the captain of dozens of people at most.

Therefore, someone must take on the responsibility of commanding and leading other teams.

And Liu Yi's performance today undoubtedly gave Lin Feng a glimmer of hope.

His silence before meant tacit approval, or even encouragement.

Liu Yi was keenly aware of this, so he continued his performance...

A passionate speech temporarily stabilized the military morale that had become depressed and impetuous due to Shen Jie's accident, and brought it back on track.

This ability is what a qualified commander should have.

In the future, Lin Feng will not have to do everything himself, and can focus all his energy on killing the high-level mother queen.

Facing Liu Yi's expectant eyes, Lin Feng nodded and raised his hand, pointing at the nearby second-order insect eggs:

"In that case, let them deal with these burdens in batches."

"Those who are willing to join the second-order legion, each person takes one, kills and then drinks the nutrient solution of the insect eggs, and completes the second-order awakening in the camp!"

Liu Yi did not expect the sergeant to go with the flow directly, instead of encouraging him, and then returning to the University City Division Headquarters, and then asking Captain Li Ran to allocate the quota...

So for a moment, he was slightly stunned.

But Lin Feng continued:

"By the way, remember to tell them that killing with a knife will have the best effect. Killing at close range can obtain all the life energy of the second-order insect eggs and complete the awakening."

"With the help of the nutrient solution, their awakening process will become safe and rapid, and it can also make up for the genetic defects of our human physique."

"Go."

After hearing Lin Feng's subsequent explanation, Liu Yi realized that he had not heard wrong just now. The sergeant did ask the soldiers to evolve on the spot.

Then he showed a happy expression, because by doing so, the effect of his speech would be multiplied, and this was also a manifestation of Lin Feng's recognition of him.

He could accumulate reputation and connections for Liu Yi in advance.

When Liu Yi returned to the soldiers and told them the order of the division commander...

Those veterans who stood up were excited and surprised.

Naturally, they also knew that this precious opportunity to advance was specially fought for by Liu Yi for them!

After the joy, they also cast grateful eyes to Liu Yi, and then followed his command and arrangement. One hundred and fifty first-level peak veterans were divided into five batches, with thirty people killing insect eggs each time and launching the second deep awakening.

In this way, the team's combat power would not decline significantly, and the awakening could be promoted quickly.

Seeing the veterans who unexpectedly got the opportunity to advance to the second awakening, the new recruits who had just become awakeners showed envy.

I only regret that I didn't advance to the late stage of the first level earlier and catch this train.

After this batch of second-level insect eggs are consumed, it is still unknown how long they will have to wait for their turn to start the second awakening.

However, with the expansion of the second-level legion, there should be more and more such great harvests in the future.

Perhaps by then, the second-level insect eggs will no longer be so scarce and precious, but the fearless people who are willing to go deep into the insect nest and face the second-level insect swarm will be even rarer.

As the order was issued and executed, the first batch of thirty second-level legion reserves, after each of them killed the second-level insect eggs and drank the organic nutrient solution inside, began to enter the second awakening...

They fell into a deep sleep under the protection of the second-level legion team and the rest of the soldiers.

At the same time...

At a certain moment, Lin Feng suddenly noticed the insect egg repair cabin next to him and trembled slightly.

But Shen Jie's mental attribute value is still low.

…………The scene changes…………

When Shen Jie was rescued from the underground insect nest and repaired his injuries, the self-awareness in his brain also condensed into shape.

But when he opened his eyes, what he saw was not the real world, but a strange planet he had never seen before.

If Lin Feng or Long Yi were there, they would recognize at a glance that the place where Shen Jie was was actually one of the many planets in the galaxy where the Zerg was born.

But Shen Jie, who had just woken up, was still confused.

Since becoming an awakener, especially a second-level awakener, Shen Jie's brain memory has become clearer and clearer, and he can even recall trivial fragments from his childhood.

So he knew very well that the inky black surface environment that appeared in front of him, and the volcano that was still spewing hot orange-yellow magma in the distance, were definitely not his memories.

And the philosophy knowledge in high school told him that consciousness is a projection of the material world, and matter determines consciousness.

But if the dream in front of him has nothing to do with his real experience...

Then there is only one possibility.

They... come from the other half of his body, the Zerg genes that are gradually eroding his body!

And this is the spiritual world of the Zerg!

To be more precise, it is the spiritual homeland of the black-spine worms and tiger-spine worms that he absorbs the most!

Because at this moment, as far as Shen Jie's eyes could see, a large number of black-backed insects suddenly emerged from the hard ground that had turned into obsidian...

Waving their huge jaws, they attacked him!

"Damn it!!"

Shen Jie cursed...

The next moment, he was unarmed and was submerged by the rolling black insect nest.

He was torn to pieces by the huge jaws of the black-backed insects.

Before Shen Jie could react, his consciousness appeared again...

And at this moment, outside the insect egg repair cabin in the real world,

Lin Feng once again noticed that Shen Jie's spiritual attribute value suddenly decreased again...

A bad premonition emerged from Lin Feng's heart.

In fact, Shen Jie is a bit like the male protagonist ten years ago.

The unstable heroine, who has strong power but at a great cost, pushes herself further into the abyss every time she attacks.

She eventually sinks...

It seems a bit too tragic.

However, he is also one of the strong contenders for the fourth-level hunter king.
