Chapter 175 Zhang Liying, the First Battle of the Dreadnought

Shen Jie struggled for a moment and then said:

"Liying's condition is getting worse and worse..."

"She was already very resistant to the genetic assimilation of the Zerg, and after entering the second level, the permanent characteristic distortion has covered her neck and chin..."

"I can clearly feel that she is becoming more and more inferior to others, and she has begun to be afraid of other people's eyes. She has been shutting herself in the room and not wanting to see anyone."

"Although no one will care about this, and when assimilation surgery becomes popular, genetic warriors who represent absolute power should attract much attention."

Lin Feng probably understood Shen Jie's worries and nodded:

"Are you worried that Zhang Liying will suffer from depression if she continues to be autistic like this?"

Shen Jie sighed and acquiesced.

The two people who lost their parents, escaped from death in Haicheng until now, have long formed a strong relationship of dependence.

And Zhang Liying is Shen Jie’s spiritual anchor.

In the murderous mood, if he hadn't been thinking about Zhang Liying waiting for him to come back alive, Shen Jie would have been lost in the endless desire to kill and sink forever.

However, after Shen Jie returned successfully, Zhang Liying's mental state worsened.

Especially last night, after meeting Chiyi, it sounded the alarm for Shen Jie.

The other party may have hidden evil intentions and ulterior motives, but the last reminder he left was not a lie.

Zhang Liying's mental state was already very poor, and the slowly multiplying insect beetles on her body continued to wear away her will.

In terms of other awakening powers, it may not be a big deal, but assimilation, as long as the Zerg genes are taken in, it will be optimized unconsciously, transforming the human cells in the body into more advanced cells of the Zerg.

Evolution and becoming stronger is an instinct that no one can resist.

Zhang Liying's depressed state will undoubtedly allow this transformation to accelerate.

Until he completely turns into a bug-man and loses himself.

After seeing Shen Jie nod his head, he frowned and said nothing more, Lin Feng sighed:

"It got serious after you came back, maybe because of you."

Shen Jie was stunned for a moment, but then he realized:

"You're saying that it's because the Zerg characteristics in me fade away after experiencing the cocoon of killing and being reborn..."

Lin Feng nodded and continued his reasoning:

"That's right. In the past, you two could keep each other warm and comforted. Now you have absolute strength and have eliminated the appearance influence of the Zerg genes..."

"This makes it difficult for Zhang Liying not to think nonsense."

Shen Jie frowned slightly and shook his head:

"It's impossible. We've been together since school. I won't abandon her."

"I guess it's because of that incident..."

Lin Feng was slightly startled:

"What happened to you eating insect meat on the day the disaster broke out?"

Shen Jie smiled bitterly. It was the dark experience that he least wanted to recall, but now it was about Zhang Liying's life and death. After struggling several times, Shen Jie sighed:

"Yes……"

"I'm sorry, Brother Feng, I lied and concealed the details."

As he spoke, Shen Jie lowered his voice and looked towards the university gymnasium in the distance with a heavy look:

"Actually, what we ate that night was not insect meat. The red beetle meat was eaten by other survivors, but they died of the poison not long after."

"In the second half of the night, due to the thrilling experience during the day and the profuse sweating, both of us were so weak that we could not stand firm. If we did not replenish water and food, we would not be able to escape even if we made it to the next day, and we would only die."

"So, at my suggestion..."

"Zhang Liying and I drank the blood of dead survivors, and the toxins in the insect flesh were diluted in their bodies. After entering our bodies, we only felt hot and hot, but did not die. Not only that, but it also helped us recover, like It’s like being on steroids.”

"But after that, the experience of that night has been haunting Liying like a nightmare. Originally, I thought that this incident would be forgotten with time, but I didn't expect that after we became awakened ones, we would awaken the strangeness. Yes, it happens to be inextricably linked to the experience that day..."

"The power of devouring and assimilating has once again awakened Liying's painful memories. Especially when she awakened for the second time, she had a large amount of Zerg tissue on her body."

"Now she has regarded this ability as a curse, a natural punishment for us to eat our own kind..."

After saying that, Shen Jie shook his head helplessly.

Because he was too tired to participate in the battle, he ignored Zhang Liying's changes in mentality and didn't pay much attention to her inner thoughts, which led to the current situation.

Lin Feng's analysis also makes sense, but that is only the direct cause. The fundamental reason is still the nightmare that has formed in Zhang Liying's heart.

If things go on like this, even if Shen Jie uses her military achievements in exchange for second-level insect eggs, she can upgrade and become stronger to resist the genetic invasion of the Zerg...

But after reaching the second level peak, you will inevitably enter the Zerg's artistic conception trial.

By then, the nightmare in Zhang Liying's heart will definitely be materialized in that artistic world.

Then it will definitely swallow up her sanity.

In this case, it is even more important to eradicate the nightmare as soon as possible so that Zhang Liying can come out of it and no longer be trapped in the past.

After revealing the original truth and his plans, Shen Jie looked at Lin Feng for answers.

After hearing the cause and effect, Lin Feng clicked his tongue. The situation was indeed a bit tricky.

Especially now that we need to concentrate on preparing for the war, we don’t have extra energy and time to deal with this matter.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng could only agree:

"It's difficult to solve this problem in a short period of time. Let's first let Zhiyi strip her of the Zerg's genetic assimilation, restore her human body, and walk around more..."

"After the decisive battle in Wucheng is over, we will discuss this matter in detail in Jincheng."

"If, as you said, entering her spiritual world can directly kill the embodied nightmare, then it will be easy. If not, we can only see if there are any professional psychiatrists among the Jincheng survivors who can help her. Psychological counseling.”

After saying that, Lin Feng patted Shen Jie on the shoulder:

"Wait a minute and I'll mention it to you. I'll be there to keep an eye on you the whole time. She won't do anything too outrageous. And this is easy for her. It only took her a few days to repair your broken body. Just minutes.”

After receiving Lin Feng's promise, Shen Jie showed an expression of relief and a long-lost smile on his face.

"Thanks, Brother Feng."

Lin Feng hummed:

"Go and train your second-order battle group. They are all carefully selected. I will announce a big event to them in the evening."

Shen Jie's eyes lit up, and he wanted to ask what was going on, but in a flash he thought that it might have something to do with the genetic warrior's transformation plan.

After the two said goodbye, Lin Feng found Chi Yi who was enjoying the shade in a tree-shaded pavilion. After telling him about Zhang Liying, the other party nodded:

"No problem. I heard that you plan to use their original genes as primarchs to genetically modify other awakened ones?"

Lin Feng shrugged and admitted generously:

"Yes. Their assimilation ability is equivalent to the slow combination of Zerg and human genes. It has a perfect fit method that can speed up researchers' improvement."

Chi Yi smiled:

"Looking for answers to questions must be quick."

"But by doing so, these genetic warriors are equivalent to copies of Shen Jie. For the Queen Mother, just analyzing the genetic sequence of one of them can have an impact on an entire legion of genetic warriors."

"At the very least, it can make them lose their ability to fight, but at the most severe, it can directly control and command them, switch sides in the face of battle, and transform into a warrior to hunt insects."

Lin Feng hummed:

"I know this, but their mental strength is in the second stage, which is much higher than that of ordinary tiger spine insects. As long as they don't get too close to the mother queen, the problem shouldn't be too big."

"Tomorrow I plan to take the members of the second-order legion who are willing to go to Jincheng for surgical transformation, and you have to follow me and go together."

The cockroach narrowed its eyes slightly:

"You want me to test in advance the scope of the Queen Mother's influence on it? How long does it take to achieve control?"

Lin Feng smiled slightly:

"Not only that. At present, the success rate of surgical transformation has not reached 100%, so I hope that you will observe on the surface, but secretly control the situation. Once an accident occurs, use your ability to save those who have fallen into trouble. Mutated legion members.”

"Every second-level awakened person is precious, and I don't want to take any risks and waste them on the operating table."

Zhiyi frowned slightly:

"Why bother? As long as you give me the blood tissue of Shen Jie and his little girlfriend, as well as hundreds of tons of fish, I can help you complete the transformation before tomorrow, so that these more than 150 second-level awakened people can All become powerful genetic warriors!”

Lin Feng chuckled:

"That is your artistic conception ability. It cannot be fixed and becomes a reserve technology that can be used at any time. The significance of the birth of genetic warriors is not only the enhancement of their own strength, but also the hope of mankind's salvation..."

"Besides, what is the difference between the genetic warriors born from your hands and the samurai insect hunters? Apart from having normal brains, at the same level, the gene warriors need to be fully armed to compete with the samurai insect hunters."

"His creation cost is much higher than that of an aberration that is directly stitched together with flesh and blood."

Xie nodded, which was why she had no interest in genetic warriors.

The main reason is that the cost is too high. First, a second-level human awakener must be born. After the transformation, a complete set of equipment must be added to him to be slightly stronger than the samurai insect hunter.

Whether it can be suppressed steadily depends on the genetic warrior's own combat experience and combat wisdom.

That is the training and troop training that Lin Feng is currently conducting.

It takes a lot of time, sweat, and even blood to obtain it.

Therefore, this model is fundamentally unsuitable for the Zerg system that has been transformed into a war machine.

It was only at this moment that Chi Yi suddenly realized why Lin Feng did not guard against himself and obtain the genetic sequences of Shen Jie and Zhang Liying, because for the Zerg, apart from being able to analyze them in advance and genetically transforming them into warriors, they actually did not have anything extra. benefit.

On the contrary, if any queen wants to imitate the Zerg version of the genetic warrior, it will waste a lot of energy and resources.

Thinking of this, Chichi nodded:

"You are right, and it is impossible for the Mother Queen to accept the birth of a being with perfect physical and mental strength from the Zerg."

"Just a samurai insect hunter with rudimentary intelligence may escape control. If you want to use human awakeners to create genetic warriors, you are digging your own grave."

Lin Feng shrugged and said jokingly:

"Who knows? Maybe you can try it, like the social experiment you did in Jiacheng."

"Maybe they can become your loyal genetic warriors..."

The cockroach's face darkened. The experimental field that he created on a whim was now abandoned.

The experiment was a complete failure.

Although humans have highly developed brains and can absorb the life energy carried by the Zerg and start awakening evolution, they also cannot achieve a perfect controlled state.

The smarter and more useful humans are, the harder it is to control them.

For example, the one in front of him.

And that became the black history of Long Yi playing house, and Lin Feng mentioned it many times in the future.

As for now, Long Yi stepped forward and kicked hard, but Lin Feng easily dodged it.

Then he waved his hand and walked towards the fifteen flying wing tanks on the docking station square.

After repairing the damaged tanks, it was noon.

At this time, the nearby tanks suddenly started by themselves, drove to the sides of the dreadnought battleship, and slowly stopped.

Lin Feng immediately raised his head and saw Chen Yanyan standing at the bow, with an excited face, waving at him.

Returning to the battleship, Chen Yanyan stretched out her hand to the top of her head, with her five fingers spread out as if she wanted to hold the entire sun. While controlling the battleship, she could also control fifteen tanks.

The spiritual fluctuations emanating from her body were already perfect in the late second stage.

Lin Feng smiled faintly and witnessed the birth of the fearless captain:

"Chen Yanyan, lv29/29"

"Health 960, Constitution 920, Spirit 1080"

"Superpower awakening - Mechanical Pioneer"

"Note: The spiritual attribute value has broken the limit, and an additional supernatural effect is obtained: Life Link"

"Life Link: Deeply bound to the fearless battleship, when it suffers damage, 50% of the reduced health value is shared with the battleship itself. When it is inside the armor, it will also gain the battleship's basic attribute bonus, defense +1000, damage +800"

After seeing Chen Yanyan's appraisal results, Lin Feng was greatly shocked.

The permanent spiritual attributes accumulated before allowed Chen Yanyan to successfully break the limit at this moment, and the additional effect of feedback was another attribute of the mechanical pioneer, life link.

Not only can the Dreadnought directly share half of the damage suffered by Chen Yanyan, it is equivalent to a 50% damage-free buff effect, with two lives, and as long as she is inside the battleship, she will share the basic attributes of the battleship.

Defense is increased by 1000, and the damage is increased by 800, which not only makes up for the shortcomings of defense, but also greatly improves Chen Yanyan's melee strength.

And this also solves another problem.

That is the harassment of the warrior hunter insects!

In the future battles with the Zerg army, the Dreadnought, as an important stronghold for long-range strikes, is likely to be besieged by a large number of warrior hunter insects.

They will try every means to enter the battleship and kill the operators inside.

This has already been seen in the encounter in Changcheng.

And now Chen Yanyan, who has the life link effect, is completely unafraid of the warrior hunter insects, whether in defense or offense.

Holding a chainsaw sword in hand, she kills people in all directions.

After Chen Yanyan tried, she looked back at Lin Feng:

"I can probably fight with all my heart and soul for three or four hours now, and then my mental state will be tired and my control over the battleship will decrease, but it is more than enough to participate in a battle."

Lin Feng nodded:

"It is definitely enough. I don't think any Zerg can last more than an hour under the bombardment of the dreadnought battleship."

"So when the time comes, you should mainly avoid it, and keep the appropriate rhythm of attacking, so as not to scare away our precious upgrade experience packs."

Chen Yanyan hummed a few times, and her expectation in her heart had already overflowed, just waiting for Lin Feng to give orders.

Lin Feng looked at the time and saw that it was already noon, so he said:

"Don't worry, the soldiers are still eating, and they need to rest after eating. Li Ran and the others plan to gather at 1:30 for actual combat training."

"Then let them and the Zerg witness your strength together!"

Chen Yanyan curled her lips:

"Okay, then I'll go cook for you first! After staying up all night and a morning, you must be starving!"

Lin Feng waved his hand:

"You know, I'm already hungry, but fortunately I haven't moved much, so I don't consume much."

Chen Yanyan walked into the living area of ​​the battleship, turned back and stuck out her tongue:

"Wait for me for twenty minutes!"

After a simple meal and rest, the actual combat training in the afternoon will be carried out.

Five thousand soldiers are divided into two groups, one group continues to defend the defense bunkers, and the other group enters the ruins in the east of the city to fight guerrilla street battles with the Zerg that occasionally poke their heads out of the underground wormholes.

After clearing out these minions, more than 2,500 soldiers followed the chariot and went deep into the suburbs.

The dreadnoughts hid behind the team, constantly observing the situation on the front line and ready to provide fire support at any time.

The Zerg could not resist the temptation and took the bait after noticing the appearance of a large number of awakened and enhanced people.

They sent out tens of thousands of black-spine insects and more than a dozen second-level tiger-spine insects to test the strength of the human side.

The charge of this little zerg tide was quickly suppressed by the chariot and a second-level battle group.

The soldiers in the back row used large-caliber rifles to complete the finishing work of killing and obtain upgrade energy.

Soon, the queen mother, who had tested the approximate strength of the human race, confirmed that there was no ambush, and directly controlled tens of thousands of black-spine insects and hundreds of tiger-spine insects, intending to severely damage the human defenders.

When they rushed to the human formation one kilometer away with powerful firepower...

At this time, the human front did not disband and retreat, but continued to hold on, as if they were determined to fight the Zerg to the death.

Just when the Queen Mother of Haicheng thought she was about to succeed!

In the direction of Wucheng in the distance, dozens of bright yellow tracks suddenly passed by...

After a hundred years, the dreadnought warship roared again!

Blast the era of iron ships and cannons into reality!
