Chapter 212 Cooperation and Sincerity, Military Parade and Marching Out Again

"I will go back, but not now."

"As for sending troops you said..."

"I want to know what the current strength of the so-called Federal Steel Conglomerate is?"

Lin Feng spoke calmly, unmoved.

Zhang Zihan pushed up her glasses with a bit of pride:

"The United Steel Group is currently one of the top forces in the rear security zone. It has seven base cities across three states. There are tens of millions of survivors under the group."

"In addition, other top forces in the safety zone include the base cities established by the original state capitals, the federal army group that retreated to the northwest, and the original federal departments..."

"Comparatively speaking, we have no shortage of weapons and equipment, but in terms of awakeners, both in terms of numbers and strength, they are a bit weaker than other bases."

"So we are more willing to pay more in exchange for City Master Lin's cooperation and alliance."

Lin Feng nodded.

Sister Yurou is very smart and knows very well that even if she can rely on the second-order insect eggs to spawn a group of early second-order awakened beings, they will still be much weaker than those awakened ones from other forces that rely on their own strength to fight the Zerg and grow naturally.

There is a big gap between the two in terms of combat experience.

Especially in the process of life and death duel, actual combat experience becomes even more important.

Even if the Iron and Steel Group relies on the second-order insect eggs to arm itself, it is still at a disadvantage compared to the city lords of those small base cities.

There is no weakling who can rely on his own first-level strength to transcend the level and kill the second-level Zerg.

If the Steel Group wants to directly change this predicament in a short period of time, it can only hire the high-end power of the Salvation Army.

Or just let Lin Feng, who has been promoted to the third level, show up in the safe zone, and he can instantly scare those Xiaoxiao who try to threaten the group.

But Lin Feng didn't have this free time, so he ran to the rear safety zone and participated in various meaningless gatherings.

Knowing the true strength of the alien Zerg clan, he knew very well that even if they entered the third level, they would still be nothing compared to those fourth-level insect kings.

It is necessary to kill enough third-order Zerg as quickly as possible before the Zerg are aware of it, with the help of Zhe Yi, to complete the evolutionary upgrade from the early stage to the peak of the later stage.

So Lin Feng opened his mouth and directly rejected Sister Yurou's proposal, but also gave a solution:

"At present, the Jincheng base city is just being built, and there are many Zerg Queens nearby. Although I also want to go there and witness the grand occasion of the Iron and Steel United Group with my own eyes, I really can't get away from the front line..."

"Let's do this. As long as you purchase enough second-level insect eggs, such as a dozen or dozens of eggs, I will dispatch a second-level battle group in the name of protecting precious goods..."

"Follow you back to the headquarters of the Iron and Steel Group. Before you fully master the second-order power, you will be responsible for the safety of the group."

"This way other forces can't find any fault."

Nowadays, a veteran second-level battle group has a leader who has achieved success in the late second-level, and several veteran players in the mid-second level.

Such strength can completely suppress the high-end power of the entire safety zone.

Naturally, it can also protect the safety of the United Steel Group.

Hearing the promise given by the leader of the Salvation Army, Zhang Zihan's tense nerves gradually relaxed. Although she was a little regretful, she also smiled sincerely:

"Thank you City Master Lin for your thoughtfulness!"

"To show sincerity, as long as the weapons and equipment owned by the United Steel Group will be supplied to Jincheng Base and the Salvation Army without reservation."

Lin Feng nodded:

"Go ahead. For the specific cooperation matters and transaction content, just discuss it with Miss Han, who is in charge of government affairs, and Mr. Li Ran, who is in charge of logistics, and others."

After understanding the cooperation content, Lin Feng issued an order to expel the guests.

Zhang Zihan wanted to say something else, but seeing that the man in front of her was no longer interested, she followed Han Yuxin's departure with a look of reluctance.

After sending away the messenger arranged by Sister Yurou, Lin Feng sat on the swivel chair, turned to face the window, and looked at the dark mountains on the other side of the river.

As he expected, not long after Han Yuxin sent Zhang Zihan away, Ling Shuyan, the director of the Institute of Biology on the other side of the river, arrived in person at the city lord's office under her recommendation and reported important matters to the city lord Lin Feng.

When the door opened and she saw Lin Feng, Ling Shuyan was just slightly dazed. Then she returned to normal, walked quickly to the desk, and faced the man in charge of the Jincheng Base in front of her.

"People from the Federal Research Institute are here?"

Lin Feng spoke calmly.

Among Hu Fei's invitations this time, there were no specific departments under the federal government, only some big shots in charge of government affairs.

This group of people share with the military the biggest remaining support of the Federation: the nuclear bomb code and the nuclear bomb itself.

But in fact, the specific departments responsible for implementing the decree are already working on their own, such as the Iron and Steel United Group, which blatantly raised objections, and the Research Institute, which is standing in front of Lin Feng and is about to launch in-depth cooperation.

After hearing Lin Feng's question, Ling Shuyan thanked Han Yuxin for the chair he pushed over, sat upright and nodded:

"The Federal Research Institute sent the vice-president. He hopes to trade more second-level insect eggs, as well as the corpse of the high-level Queen Mother killed by City Lord Lin in the decisive battle in Wucheng..."

"I conveyed to him the city lord's joint development proposal. The vice president is willing to send a group of relevant researchers to set up a research project on the corpse of the Queen Mother in Jincheng and share the results."

"But the prerequisite is that they can take away part of the cell tissue from the Queen Mother's body."

"According to the vice president, considering that Jincheng Base City is too close to the front line and only more than 100 kilometers away from the Zerg territory, if something unexpected happens in the future..."

"I hope to keep important experimental materials in advance."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly and sneered:

"No cell tissue of the Queen Mother's body can leave the Jincheng Base, and they want to use such a small price to reach a project cooperation, which is simply a fantasy!"

"Go back and tell them that the superpower cell gene bank mentioned last time will be shipped over for sharing first, and I will consider whether to open up the cell transaction of the Queen Mother's body."

"Otherwise, we can completely conduct research on high-level Zerg alone and isolate them from the project."

Lin Feng's decisive refusal was also within Ling Shuyan's expectations. The other party would not show his eagle until he saw the rabbit. If the Federal Research Institute does not come up with real benefits, don't expect to coax Lin Feng with a few words.

This is also good news for Ling Shuyan.

Especially recently, in the research of gene fusion and superman plan, many obstacles and bottlenecks have been encountered. Perhaps the solution can be found in the research of third-order cells.

But in fact, the best research object is in front of Ling Shuyan herself.

It's a pity that Lin Feng will not trust anyone and hand over his cell tissue as a third-order awakener.

At least before Ling Shuyan proves her loyalty and value, this matter is difficult to put on the agenda.

After Ling Shuyan left, Chen Yanyan greeted her and entered the office. She immediately expressed her concern about the lack of progress in the Queen Mother research project:

"Will the Queen Mother's body rot if it is delayed any longer?"

Lin Feng stretched and shook his head:

"Not for the time being, it will take at least ten days for the tissues in its body to consume their own energy before it becomes extremely weak and invaded by bacteria and fungi."

"And there is no need to worry about it. When the military parade tomorrow, representatives of various forces will witness the Queen Mother's body with their own eyes and realize its value. By then, it will not be us who will be anxious."

Chen Yanyan nodded, not quite understanding. It is estimated that the Federal Research Institute will also worry about other organizations coming to intervene.

After all, in addition to them, other research institutes in other states and large biopharmaceutical companies are also very interested in the cells and genes of third-order life forms.

As long as they hand over the superpower cell genes in their hands, Lin Feng does not mind starting joint research.

Because of the failure of yesterday's energy transformation, time is tight, and Lin Feng hopes to take a shortcut and master electromagnetic force before entering the middle stage of the third order.

And this shortcut is naturally the collection and absorption of the superpower gene pool.

…………

The dinner ended late at night, and the sparsely populated streets were unusually quiet.

After the representatives of various forces returned to the hotel, they began to feel uneasy when they met with the Lord of Jincheng for negotiation in the face of the Steel United Group's separate invitation.

After all, according to what Deputy City Lord Han said at the dinner...

In the battle of Wucheng, they captured a total of more than 3,400 black-spine live insects, and there were also hundreds of second-level insect eggs in reserve, and less than 50 were used for this transaction.

If you calculate it, the average of each force will only get four or five digits at most.

If the Steel United Group swallows half of the share, the strength comparison of the rear safety zone will change dramatically.

The spheres of influence of each party will also be reshuffled.

This is not good news.

Especially the Steel United Group, because of some recent rebellious remarks, there is a trend of being jointly targeted.

In fact, the fundamental reason is that such a large organization that controls the entire military industry chain has extremely powerful logistical potential.

Once it grows up, it will be a serious threat to all forces.

The strong alliance of several chairmen is itself a dangerous signal.

So it is safest to dismember and divide the Iron and Steel United Group before it has a large number of awakened forces.

Now that the other party is about to make up for this shortcoming...

The representatives of the other forces present secretly gathered in a suite in the middle of the night to discuss countermeasures.

Either force the Iron and Steel Group to reduce the purchase amount, or everyone will pool resources to compete for quotas.

As for the last option...

After the Iron and Steel United Group buys most of the second-level insect eggs, they will rob the goods on the way back. After all, only they have multiple second-level awakeners.

The Iron and Steel Group has at most three first-level late awakeners, and their strength is not enough.

However, this option was tacitly not mentioned in the discussion.

After all, everyone will rely on their own abilities at that time. No one can trust anyone except their own people.

A night of worry was spent in discussion.

The next morning, Han Yuxin sent someone to drive over to pick everyone up to the square where the military parade was about to begin.

At this moment, in the huge square in front of the train station, in addition to the Queen Mother's corpse that had been placed there for a long time, there was also a dreadnought quietly parked on the side of the road.

Lin Feng, wearing a flying tiger armor, stood in front of the bow, and behind him was the huge corpse of the Zerg Queen Mother, which was twice as big as the dreadnought, which could be called a steel behemoth.

The two giant beasts served as the background, supporting the fully armed Lin Feng. In the photos taken by the accompanying reporters, it became the most classic photo that was passed down in later generations.

In the early morning of late summer, the sun rose in the east before six o'clock.

Standing in front of the dreadnought, Li Ran calculated the time and started the first military parade of the Salvation Army on time at half past six.

At this moment, the delegations from various forces who came to watch also arrived on the other side of the square, sat on the temporary stands, and watched the military formation approaching not far away.

The first to appear was the logistics auxiliary formation, wearing uniform red shield armor and equipped with standard large-caliber rifles.

This is also the main source of troops for all parties at present.

But in the Salvation Army at Jincheng Base, they can only do logistics work and have no ability to go on the battlefield.

Following several uniform phalanxes of auxiliary troops, they walked across the square, followed closely by the real backbone combat force of the Salvation Army, the combat brigade.

Including the recently recruited and promoted members, there are more than 4,000 first-order awakened people in total.

Currently, there are only two elite groups on the stage for review, with a total of more than 800 people. They are all in the late first-order stage. They are wearing jet black red black armor and holding powerful shotguns. Under Lin Feng's gaze, they walk past square.

This scene has deeply shocked the members of the delegation who were watching.

After all, no force can gather nearly a thousand late-stage first-order awakened people in the rear safety zone.

Even the state guard, which controls a population of tens of millions, only has about a hundred first-order late-awakened people at most.

However, the Jincheng base managed 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people, but it was able to produce such a large-scale force. It seemed that the army under Lin Feng was forged with blood and death in the fierce battle with the Zerg.

Every soldier exudes murderous aura.

After the phalanx of eight warriors passed by, forty-five flying-wing chariots appeared next, fully loaded with twenty warrior members.

The tank has extremely thick armor, which can directly resist the attack of black spine insects. With five shotguns and twelve heavy machine guns, there is no need to worry about being surrounded by black spine insects when encountering a tide of black spine insects.

Representatives of many forces showed their eyes brightly. It was obvious that these advanced tanks with both defense and firepower had caught their attention.

If you can have such a powerful convoy, you can take the initiative to kill and capture the Black Spine Worm swarms, thereby cultivating more awakened ones in a short period of time.

It is estimated that this is how the more than 4,000 Awakened Soldiers Brigade in the Salvation Army was born.

Waiting for the majestic chariot to pass through the square...

The last one to appear was the upper-level power of the Salvation Army under Lin Feng, the second-level legion with all its members awakened at the second level!

There are a total of 260 combat members, divided into ten different groups. Except for the latest two group leaders, who have just entered the late stage of the second level, the other eight veteran group leaders are all at the late stage of the second level.

As they wore orange tiger insect armor above level 20, holding fresh armor-breaking cannons and electromagnetic cannons, they stepped onto the review stage...

The powerful aura exuded by more than twenty second-level awakened people in each square directly frightened all representatives of the forces living in the place. Many people who were only in the early stage of the first-level were frightened to the point where their blood surged and their hands trembled...

Lin Feng, on the other hand, was sitting on a high building, quietly reviewing the group of second-order legion members as they walked across the square.

Among them are the genetic war group led by Shen Jie and others, and the guard war group who followed Lin Feng to complete the beheading plan.

As the first battle group, the strength of the former is beyond doubt.

As for the Guards Chapter, all members are equipped with tiger-tooth chain swords. This powerful weapon is stained with the deaths of countless second-level Zerg races. It is held tightly in the hands of second-level members in full body armor, exuding a chilling aura. Evil spirit.

As ten regiments walked through the square, the one-hour military parade came to an end.

Lin Feng looked at the time and saw that it was already half past seven, so he spoke and ordered in a strong and resonant voice:

"The First Gene Battle Group, the Guards Battle Group, and the Second and Seventh Fleet Battle Groups of the Battle Brigade will follow me to conquer the Zerg!"

A total of 860 members boarded the chariot and followed Lin Feng's dreadnought battleship towards Wucheng in the southeast.

When the large army set off, Li Ran walked towards the delegation across the street and asked them if they were interested in going together to observe the Salvation Army's actual combat drills.

The force dispatched this time was only one-fifth of the members of the Salvation Army, but Lin Feng was completely confident that he could repel the expansion minions of the Haicheng Mother Queen.

With his third-level strength and the golden-quality ion laser cannon, no one could stop Lin Feng's wanton slaughter unless the Queen of Haicheng personally came forward.

The invited members of the delegation looked at each other in confusion, looking away from the corpse of the Queen Mother, and began to talk privately about whether they should take the risk to go and witness the battle between the Salvation Army and the Zerg with their own eyes.

Finally, at the suggestion of several second-level city lords, it was decided that each force would send two to four people to follow the more than a thousand logistics support team led by Li Ran to the front-line battlefield.

The logistics support team boarded the troop transport truck and began to drive away from the Jincheng base.

The delegation that went to observe the event took a comfortable yellow bus with Li Ran.

Among the members of the accompanying delegation, a senior figure from the federal government found Li Ran in the passenger seat.

Li Ran knew this person. He used to be a general in the logistics force. His surname was Chen. The three stars on his epaulette meant that he was a lieutenant general and should be responsible for the logistics support of the northern war.

General Chen, who was nearly sixty years old, patted Li Ran on the shoulder and whispered:

"Mr. Li, apart from the second-order insect eggs, I also have something to ask for. Can you convey it to City Lord Lin for me?"

Li Ran was a little flattered. After all, the difference in status between the two made it impossible for the other to be humbled.

Although the old general only had the strength of the early stage of the first level, Li Ran was not arrogant out of respect and admiration.

So he nodded slightly and signaled the other party to continue.

General Chen took a deep breath:

"We hope that City Lord Lin can rush north to rescue the besieged federal capital when the war in Jiangnan eases..."

"There are three million survivors and more than half a million soldiers inside. If this drags on, they will all be buried in the belly of insects..."

Li Ran's pupils shrank sharply, thinking of the old captain who went north.

Qin Hu.
