Chapter 201 The Power of Ion Laser Cannons, Retreat and Street Fighting

"Ion laser cannon lv30/39, gold quality"

"Upgrade points: 0/2, basic damage 1000, effective range 20 kilometers, unlimited instantaneous times, focused ion laser cannon: 10/10, energy recovery speed 1/h"

"Added additional attribute: laser focusing"

"Laser focusing: After locking the target and firing, each ion laser cannon lasts for 10 seconds. In addition to the basic damage, the damage increases by 500 per second as the temperature rises"

"Note: The damage decays as the attack distance increases. The critical point of the constraint is ten kilometers. The total damage decays by 10% per kilometer beyond ten kilometers"

"Can be switched to lv29 electromagnetic cannon mode"

"Evaluation: This is a golden weapon that can destroy multiple layers of defense through high-temperature burning. The maximum temperature can reach 6,000 degrees within ten seconds, penetrating everything. If it doesn't work, then give it another shot!"

"Note: The energy for synchronous cross-level upgrade has been obtained, and the self-upgrade can be started when the state is intact."

Lin Feng's mouth corners slightly raised. According to the laser energy concentration of the ion laser cannon, a total of 5,000 points of damage can be increased within ten seconds, plus the basic damage of 1,000 points, a total of 6,000 maximum limits, enough to break the defense layer of the third-stage middle-stage Zerg queen.

If it is against the third-stage early-stage queen, it only needs to be continuously irradiated for four or five seconds.

For the slow-moving queen, the continuous burning of the laser cannon, coupled with its attack at the speed of light, is simply impossible to defend against and has nowhere to hide.

The maximum attenuation threshold of ten kilometers can also allow Lin Feng to return to long-range attacks, and he no longer has to rely on the melee equipment Tiger Tooth Chain Saw Sword to break through the defense and risk close combat like he did before when he killed the Jiangbei queen.

Unfortunately, the cramped space underground made it impossible to use the ion laser cannon. Unless the situation of breaking out of the ground like the Jiangbei Queen Mother was, the ion laser cannon could be used to its maximum effect and truly kill without injury.

After a sigh, Lin Feng stopped thinking and immediately raised the level 30 ion laser cannon in his hand.

At this moment, after switching the mode, the whole cannon was three meters long and nearly half a meter wide at the widest point. The cannon body was no longer the slender launch tube before, but turned into a regular hexagonal orange light accumulator, with a cross section like honeycomb coal, emitting a blazing light.

The ion laser cannon is completely different from the traditional concept of long guns and cannons, and its appearance is more like a future super weapon in a film and television science fiction film.

As Lin Feng raised the ion laser cannon weighing hundreds of kilograms, he aimed at a dozen tank flame beetles in the distance, ready to try it out...

The defense of these tank flame armors is comparable to that of the second-level peak tiger spine insects. The shotgun hits its thick outer armor, leaving at most a small shallow mark, not to mention breaking through multiple layers of defense.

In addition to the tiger-toothed chainsaw sword, only Shen Jie, who activated the killing state, could fight with it.

But at this moment, Shen Jie was also restricted by several second-stage late-stage warrior hunter insects and tank flame armor. He could not break out in a short time and could only defend.

This made other gene warriors, facing the joint attack of multiple second-stage Zergs, show a weak trend. Many warriors were careless and were attacked by warrior hunter insects.

The crisis must be reversed as soon as possible!

At this moment, as Lin Feng raised the ion laser cannon, the hexagonal energy concentrator at the muzzle began to split into six long energy-concentrating restraint rings, which gradually accelerated around the central honeycomb muzzle.

The next moment, a bright orange-red light beam directly shone on the back of a tank flame beetle at the speed of light. The distance between the two sides was exactly eight or nine kilometers, less than the critical point of ten kilometers, so the laser damage would not be attenuated.

At this time, Lin Feng also found that the entire beam of light, under the constraint of the muzzle, could only maintain a circular size of one meter in diameter within ten kilometers, and beyond ten kilometers, it could no longer maintain stability and continued to spread, causing damage attenuation.

As for the moment, the group of tank flame armors in the distance were all exposed to the full strike range.

As the laser began to gather energy over time, the temperature rose sharply, and the damage also soared.

From the basic one thousand points of damage, it rose to two thousand points in two seconds, directly piercing the tank flame armor with a shell more than one meter thick.

The color of the laser beam also changed from orange-red to orange-yellow, and gradually emitted a dazzling golden light.

After easily killing a tank flame beetle, Lin Feng did not stop, but flew directly into the air, aimed at a row of tank flame armors in the distance, and began to rotate the muzzle of the ion laser cannon, using laser beams to kill them one by one.

In the process, the laser passed through many second-order tiger spine insects, and they were instantly separated by the cut limbs.

It was simply unable to withstand the light cannon that damaged thousands of people.

The ion laser cannon's sweep lasted for half a minute, consuming the energy of three spare shells.

In the end, a pile of broken insect corpses was left, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. The large gaps on the body were all cooked meat and charcoal burned by the laser, with a strong smell of burning, which looked shocking.

This is the power of the lv30 ion laser cannon, as a weapon of the third stage gold quality.

Sixteen tank beetles and dozens of second-level tiger spine insects were all wiped out in half a minute.

If it weren't for the fear of hurting the genetic warriors fighting with them, it could even sweep away all the warrior hunting insects.

Under the attack at the speed of light, no second-level life can get rid of its lock and irradiation within one second.

Aiming means instant death!

This is the essential feature of the laser cannon that distinguishes it from traditional artillery shells and even electromagnetic cannons.

The attack speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, even if it needs to be charged to cause high damage, is enough to form a real dimensionality reduction attack on the life on the planet!

After all, in front of this speed, the speed of sound and the speed of hypersonic seem to be no different from being still.

It is easy to deal with the warrior hunter insects with relatively weak armor defense. One shot is enough. There is no need to charge the ion light cannon. Just rely on the basic damage of one thousand to hit the instantaneous fire.

The only thing to pay attention to is whether Lin Feng's own reaction speed and the locking aiming of the moving muzzle can keep up with the enemy's escape and avoidance.

However, at present, except for the second-level wind wing insects flying at high speed, no other Zerg can burst out at a speed of one kilometer per second.

And when Lin Feng himself advances to the third stage, with the blessing of mental and physical attributes, the speed of nerve reaction will definitely be further improved. At that time, even the wind wing insects will find it difficult to escape the attack of the laser cannon.

After all, against high-speed moving targets, the laser cannon can hit one by one, which can be called the nemesis of high speed.

At this moment, Lin Feng had not yet entered the third level, but he had already ascended the battlefield like a god of war, holding a laser cannon and sending down a heavenly punishment. In just a few tens of seconds, he eliminated the top combat power of the Zerg...

Directly changed the direction of the entire battle!

Without the cover of the tiger spine worms and tank beetles, the remaining dozen warrior hunting worms fled the battlefield one after another, and the Zerg queen who was controlling the battle behind the scenes also realized the change in the situation and directly ordered the Zerg tide surrounding the fleet to speed up the evacuation.

For a time, the entire battlefield was a one-sided and large-scale defeat of the Zerg.

Those second-level tiger spine worms were even more panicked and rushed back to the territory of Haicheng, resulting in a large number of trampling incidents. At least thousands of black spine worms died tragically under the powerful feet of the second-level tiger spine worms.

Lin Feng wanted to fly forward and lead the second-level battle group to pursue the victory and completely eliminate the second-level Zerg, but the dreadnought battleship slowly approaching behind him interrupted his steps.

Chen Yanyan's familiar voice came from the bow:

"Don't chase, we have to go back to defend!"

Lin Feng was stunned, and his figure stopped in mid-air.

He then flew outside the bow and saw Chen Yanyan, who looked haggard, and explained the reason:

"The other half of the Haicheng Zerg swarm is not here. The Queen Mother took advantage of the fleet being surrounded and arranged for them to attack the second line of defense by detour."

"Li Ran sent a message that many parts of the defense line have been captured by the Zerg tide. We need to send people to help as soon as possible!"

Lin Feng frowned slightly. This is a good opportunity to severely damage the Queen Mother of Haicheng. If the remaining hundreds of second-level tiger-spine insects are let go, the defense pressure of defending Jincheng in the future will undoubtedly increase several times.

But when Lin Feng looked back, most of the second-level battle groups on the front line, whether genetic warriors or ordinary members, were exhausted in this tug-of-war.

In addition to the more than 20 melee fighters armed with chainsaw swords that he brought back, the rest of the members, including the first-level awakeners in the battlefield, have been fighting for several hours, from morning to noon.

Not only are they physically weak and mentally depressed, but the breakfast they ate in their stomachs has long been digested. Awakeners need to replenish food and water more than ordinary humans to maintain the large amount of consumption of their bodies.

Hunger has an impact on combat status that is no less than being injured, and combat effectiveness will drop directly.

In addition, if they chase into the Zerg hinterland, they may face the personal fate of the Queen of Haicheng.

A lv32 Jiangbei Queen has already caused Lin Feng to suffer mental damage and almost overturned.

As the only third-level mid-stage Queen in the entire Jiangnan area, even if Lin Feng enters lv30, it is difficult for him to fight against it.

Not to mention that there are gene warriors in the team, these time bombs that are easily affected by the Queen's mental control.

Considering various realistic factors, Lin Feng decided to follow Chen Yanyan's advice after struggling for a while.

Return to the capital, save the camp first.

Then he issued a retreat order.

But before that, the fleet had to clean up the battlefield and make up for the losses as much as possible.

Lin Feng looked roughly from mid-air and saw that at least a dozen tanks were damaged and stranded in this decisive battle. Some were unfortunately attacked by tiger spine insects. Under the bite of the giant jaws, the whole tank was split in two from the middle, and more than half of the crew members were killed on the spot.

The battlefield was devastated and blood flew everywhere, the limbs of Zerg and humans were scattered, and there were more wounded soldiers with missing arms and legs, wailing in pain.

After calming down, Lin Feng immediately arranged for Chen Yanyan to deal with these wounded first, and then led the members of the second-level battle group who were in good condition to rush to the second line of defense 20 kilometers behind the rear.

…………

A few minutes later, Lin Feng and his party arrived below the defense line.

The high wall fortifications built on the other side of the city moat were broken at this moment.

Nearly a hundred second-level tiger-spine insects, led by the remaining tens of thousands of first-level black-spine insects, launched a fierce attack on the second line of defense that was ten kilometers long.

The twenty-meter-wide city moat was filled with the bodies of the Zerg who died in the siege, as many as thousands.

More than a dozen main fort towers were completely destroyed in the attack of the tiger-spine insects' giant jaws. A gap hundreds of meters wide appeared directly on the entire defense line. The entire city wall broke and collapsed, leaving behind the corpses of Zerg and humans.

Hearing the sound of artillery fire coming from the city, Lin Feng couldn't help but worry about the safety of Liu Yueqi and others.

And Shen Jie, who had just released the winged tiger berserker form, turned into a stream of light and spread his wings to rush into the city.

The second-level members behind him also entered the city one after another under the leadership of Lin Feng to clear out the remaining Zerg in the city.

Soon after Lin Feng dealt with several second-order tiger-spine insects, he found Li Ran, who was organizing a defense line in front of the university town to resist the insect swarm's attack.

The second-level regiment faced ordinary Zerg tides and slaughtered them easily like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Even though there were only sixty or seventy members who followed Lin Feng back, they instantly suppressed the Zerg offensive in the city behind the defense line.

Seeing Lin Feng return safely, Li Ran finally let go of his hanging heart.

Lin Feng's return means that the decapitation plan has been successfully completed, so this decisive battle and so many sacrifices are all meaningful!

The dead team members did not die in vain.

Soon, under Li Ran's report, Lin Feng roughly understood the war situation in the camp.

More than 5,000 soldiers, excluding the 1,200 recruited by the fleet and the 300 late-stage first-level soldiers temporarily transferred by Lin Feng, the remaining 3,500.

It sounds like a lot, but most of these 3,500 soldiers are only in the early stage of the first stage, although they have basically achieved full awakening under the crazy training of the fleet before.

But because of the temporary rush, the awakening progress is not high, most of them only stay in the early stage, and only 600 to 700 of the 3,500 have entered the middle stage of the first stage.

The overall strength may not be as good as the 300 first-level late-stage elite soldiers that Lin Feng took away.

But Lin Feng and Chen Yanyan did not expect that the Queen Mother's war wisdom would be so high, and her strategic vision was not inferior to the command genius of the human side.

It knew very well that it could not completely eliminate the human fleet in a short time unless it went down in person.

Instead of paying a lot of price to fight the fleet to death, it is better to bypass the fleet and first solve the rear of the human defenders, that is, the base behind the second line of defense.

It is much easier for the Zerg to deal with fixed defense lines.

Just send hundreds of second-level tiger spine insects as the main force to siege the city and break the formation, and you can take tens of thousands of low-level Zergs to clean up and remove the logistical support of humans.

The fleet without a retreat will naturally become a trapped beast and flee in the siege of the Zerg tide.

The plan of the Queen Mother of Haicheng to cut off the firewood is perfect.

Especially when Lin Feng had to implement the decapitation plan and needed to withdraw some of the garrison forces, the entire rear second line of defense and the temporary camp were all strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

However, what it didn't expect was that the commander in charge of arranging the second line of defense and the entire camp was Li Ran, who had experienced many wars.

As early as the fleet that went out to seek a decisive battle was surrounded by the insect tide, Li Ran, who sent out scouts and got the news, instantly smelled a hint of crisis.

Then he arranged the garrison in the defense line to gradually retreat back to the city, relying on the urban buildings in the West City District, preparing to fight street battles with the Zerg.

To avoid the problem of insufficient garrison manpower.

Street fighting can effectively reduce the advantage of the insect tide's charge on the plains.

If the black-spine worm is compared to a light tank and the tiger-spine worm is compared to a heavy tank, it is easy to understand why Li Ran put the battle site in the city instead of the more solid second line of defense.

After experiencing the defeat of the first line of defense in Wucheng and the street fighting led by Lin Feng in Jiacheng, Li Ran knew very well what to do when the enemy was at the gates.

Although there were also considerable casualties in the street fighting with the Zerg, it was obviously more valuable than the result of the defense line being broken and then being bitten and surrounded by the Zerg...

At the same time, it was more likely to delay the pace of the Zerg's attack and wait for rescue to come back.

It was Li Ran's decisive decision to quickly complete the rotation of defense and the arrangement of outposts and firepower points in the urban area that prevented the loss of the defense line this time without causing too much damage.

Only one-fifth of the 3,500 soldiers were lost.

The manpower was successfully preserved.

What made Lin Feng feel relieved was that the university camp was not breached, indicating that Liu Yueqi and others were still safe.

Hearing Lin Feng mention this distinctive girl, Li Ran smiled bitterly:

"This guy led a team and rushed directly into the city to participate in the street fighting!"

"And the fight became more and more fierce. In just two hours, she killed more than 50 black-backed insects with a long sword, and has entered the late stage of the first stage."

"Ten minutes ago, after a short rest, she rushed into the city with a chicken leg in her mouth, intending to find a lone tiger-backed insect to complete the second-stage deep awakening..."
