Chapter 242 Cleaning the Battlefield, Meeting, Trial Invitation

"With just a few hundred thousand low-level insect swarms, plus an early-stage mother queen, it shouldn't be able to break through to the late third-level directly, right?"

Lin Feng swallowed and asked.

Zhiyi showed a smile and shook his head:

"No, at most it will be perfect in the middle stage and infinitely close to the late stage."

"If you want to advance to the late third level, it is not enough to accumulate biomass. The insect god must come and personally give it complete royal genes and master the breeding ability of third level life forms."

"And the price..."

As he said that, Xie glanced at Jiang Yuner who was in a coma behind the two of them.

When the two parties first met, she was subjected to some spiritual means by Zhiyi, and she fainted instantly.

After indicating the target, Zhizhi held it without hiding anything and said the promotion conditions:

"The price is to have enough foreign gene sequences to help the great insect god and expand the divine power capacity of its kingdom, so it needs to swallow a large number of human awakeners."

"The Mother Queen of Haicheng also relied on breaking through Wucheng's first line of defense and devouring the more than 10,000 strengthened and awakened defenders to successfully complete her mid-term promotion."

"The price and conditions required for promotion to the later stage are high but not low, so almost all queens in the north have set their sights on the federal capital."

"After all, there are millions of human survivors gathered here. It can be called a big piece of fat. Even if it is just some oil and water leaking from the gaps, it is enough to feed a group of early queens into fat."

"For example, the Queen Mother before Yunxia Ridge."

"If it hadn't encountered us, it would probably have been successfully promoted to the third-level mid-level in a week, becoming the fifth mid-level existence in the entire north."

After listening to Zhi Yi's introduction, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that by beheading the Queen Mother quickly, he would be taking advantage of the Queen Mother in the mid-term rear.

Existing in the late third level, it is equivalent to the evolutionary pinnacle of life on the planet, and is the strongest person below the fourth level.

With Lin Feng's current strength, even with the attribute superposition of a lv33 colonial mecha, there is no chance of winning.

The life level gap between the two sides is too big. If Lin Feng comes on stage, he will be chased around the world.

But even if it can't be promoted to the mid-level third level, this mid-level empress of level 35 has gained a big advantage.

Now that he has been promoted to the middle stage of the third level, level 36, his physical and mental attributes should have reached the limit of 6,900 points, and he is only one step away from the later stage.

It is estimated that like the queen mother who surrounded the east side of the capital and planned to sacrifice the millions of survivors in the city, it could be ranked among the top twenty, or even the top ten, among the queen queens in the entire region!

As long as enough human survivors are collected in the future, a sacrificial ceremony can be initiated, the gods will be summoned to come, and the royal genes needed for promotion will be given...

Become one of the final contenders for the fourth-level insect king!

It is a pity that the number of Salvation Army under Lin Feng is limited.

If the super fleet is here, the hundreds of tanks led by the dreadnought battleships will definitely be able to pursue them, maintain sufficient firepower, and bite the tail of the insect swarm.

Even if you can't keep it, you can still peel off a layer of skin from the Zerg.

But now everyone's strong energy has been consumed by more than half an hour of crazy shooting.

Seventy second-level battle group members killed four to five hundred second-level Zerg. Most of them were samurai insect hunters, and the Tiger Armor's flight mode had also entered the cooldown. If they were to chase them on foot, they would be easily killed by the Zerg. Counter siege.

As for the two hundred soldiers, their condition is worse than that of the second-level awakened ones. Now they can only be regarded as more than enough to defend the city with guns and cannot take the initiative to attack.

Without the transportation and protection of the fleet, the Awakened Ones have limited tactical options due to their limited size and shortcomings in sustained combat capabilities.

Now only Lin Feng can still drive the colonial mecha to pursue him.

But he alone could not stop the Queen Mother from leaving.

Finally, Lin Feng counted the second-level members who were still in good physical condition and found about twenty of them who were in good condition. They followed him and flew into the city below to recover some important materials.

For example, the tail cannon of the Pulse War Scorpion, and the solid shell of the tank's flame armor...

Among the second-level Zerg, the one with the least recycling value is undoubtedly the Samurai Hunter Bug. The armor of this thing is not as good as the giant jaws of the tiger spine bug. The only thing that is somewhat useful is the two-meter-long bone on the four arms. Long knife.

But the four bone blades put together are less than one-tenth the size of the tiger spine insect's giant jaw.

The defenders of the capital city who were short of supplies would collect these for their own use.

Lin Feng saw a lot of them in Qin Hu's vanguard troops. This was their important melee equipment.

At this moment, as the colonial mecha entered the battlefield, the low-level Zerg who were arranged by the Mother Queen to collect insect corpses fled in all directions.

About ten kilometers away, the two female queens who were gradually escaping underground did not arrange any more counterattack troops.

They have given up fighting for the Zerg corpses on the battlefield.

Obviously they don't want to waste more troops on colonial mechas.

After this battle, the Queen Mother also knew that unless they united and fought in person, even the early Queen Mother would not be able to defeat the enemy.

Therefore, Lin Feng and others also successfully collected the second-level orange biological materials back on the battlefield.

Including more than two hundred pulse tail cannons, ten pieces of tank armor back shells, and two to three hundred pairs of tiger spine insect jaws, all were transported back to Yunxia Ridge with the help of the soldiers who arrived later.

It's a pity that the two headless corpses of the Queen Mother died at the rear of the insect tide. The Queen Mother Queen in the middle period specially sent a large number of red beetle swarms to dig pits directly at the bottom of the corpses and carried them into the underground worm holes.

The deep pit is connected to the original insect nest tunnel in the city.

The situation inside is complicated, and the remaining Queen Mother has already sneaked into the underground. The Salvation Army, which is temporarily unable to fight anymore, can only fight beside the collapsed wormhole pit, sighing and regretting.

At present, the crisis in Yunxia Ridge has been resolved. Lin Feng and others looked at the insect corpses pouring into the canyon, breathed a sigh of relief, drank organic nutrient solution, and rested.

As the sun set, an armored convoy drove up on the winding mountain road north of Yunxia Ridge.

Lin Feng thought it was the high-ranking military officials of the Federation sent to notify him of the messenger team. Unexpectedly, when he got closer, he saw that it was Qin Hu's southern legion.

Qin Hu himself was also among them.

The two sides met under the northern flank of Yunxia Ridge.

Seeing Lin Feng walking out of the tall colonial mecha, Qin Hu and his party were stunned for a long time.

Obviously, he was shocked and speechless by this weapon that far exceeded the level of human technology.

After a whole day of shock, they already felt a little numb to the many miracles Lin Feng had shown. Even if the opponent directly took out a nuclear bomb and cannon, everyone would just take it for granted.

The top brass of the legion, headed by Qin Hu, all have perfect strength in the late second level. They can feel the power of this mecha better than the other people behind them who are watching the excitement.

The pressure that the aura exuded brought to them was even faintly stronger than that of Lin Feng himself, who was walking in front of them.

This six-winged mecha with a strange appearance and distinct Zerg characteristics has unfathomable strength...

"Did all the survivors in the city evacuate successfully?"

Lin Feng stepped forward and asked.

This is his biggest concern now.

Qin Hu nodded:

"Most of them are already evacuating in an orderly manner. In addition to the more than 200,000 reserves in the southern district, the survivors from within the three lines of defense have probably received more than one million."

"The number of survivors in the inner city of the capital was previously counted at 3.8 million. Now we have received 1.5 million from the south. From the northwest, there are at least one million or more who have followed the army to break through. The city is currently half empty. "

"But when I first came here, I received news that the Zerg to the east, under the control of the Mother Queen, had already invaded the fourth line of defense, trying to occupy the entire fourth ring area to surround the inner city."

"Our soldiers are blocking their expansion, trying to maintain a way out in the closed loop, and ensuring the safe evacuation of the survivors..."

Speaking of this, Qin Hu sighed, he had tried his best.

The only 150,000 troops in hand are already stretched thin in the complex situation of sudden changes.

While counterattacking the city, they must guard against the Four Emperors in the southwest suburbs in front of Yunxia Ridge. They must also allocate some troops to escort the survivors out of the city into the temporary camp site...

The troops are divided into three routes, or three different directions, which requires comprehensive coverage and extremely high demands on the command center system.

"I hope we can pick up all the survivors..."

Hearing Qin Hu's emotion, Lin Feng nodded silently.

Both sides know that this can only be a hope.

Being able to rescue more than 80% of the survivors in the end is considered a blessing from God.

"Just do your best, and don't sacrifice too many soldiers for the sake of the survivors. It will be more than worth the loss."

Lin Feng added a reminder and then continued:

"I have killed two of the four Queen Mothers that came to attack Yunxia Ridge, and the remaining two fled and retreated underground into the southwest suburbs."

"They will not give up unless they completely occupy the entire Yunxia Ridge."

"Your soldiers who occupied the main nest can withdraw, so as not to be counterattacked by the Mother Queen and lose their troops in vain."

"Where are the millions of survivors now?"

Qin Hu and the others looked at Lin Feng in disbelief, and the shock in their eyes made their pupils shrink even more.

Obviously, the strength of Lin Feng and the Salvation Army under his command far exceeded everyone's expectations.

It is already a fantasy that a team of less than 300 people can block the attack of hundreds of thousands of insect swarms, but the man in front of him can actually kill more than one insect mother queen in the army of insect swarms...

With this strength, if he can appear in the battle to defend the capital earlier, perhaps the federal strategic plan...

What a success!

Delay the expansion of the entire Northern Queen!

Unfortunately...there is no if.

"exist……"

"It's just over ten kilometers away in Beihe Town to the north. It only takes ten minutes to take this road around the mountain."

Qin Hu was stunned and quickly responded:

"Beihe Town was established along the banks of the Stone River. It can barely accommodate a million survivors. Fortunately, everyone took one or two months' rations with them when they fled. The supplies and equipment of our southern legion were also shipped out in advance. As long as there is no insect wave for the time being, When the army comes, order in the camp will be stabilized."

Lin Feng nodded, this is a good thing.

It is impossible for him and the Salvation Army to stay in the north forever. Sooner or later, a late third-order queen will be born here. Coupled with the harsh natural environment, it is difficult for the frontline base to maintain long-term stable order and it is not suitable to stay for a long time.

The southern states are our base camp!

But in order to prevent the northern defenders from being defeated so quickly, and to prevent these mid-term queens from flooding into the south, a large force must be supported here in advance to curb the expansion of the Zerg.

This large force should at least have the strength to fight against the Mother Queen.

The southern army led by Qin Hu and the millions of survivors are Lin Feng's best choice.

"We killed tens of thousands of black spine worms during the Yunxia Ridge blockade, and they were all piled up in the valley and on the battlefield. You can come and collect useful giant jaw materials. I will help you synthesize a batch of first-order battle armor to deal with it in the future. When the insect wave attacks, even if the supply of weapons and ammunition is insufficient, we still have the confidence to fight in close combat. "

Lin Feng spoke calmly and borrowed Qin Hu's hand to clean up the tens of thousands of insect corpses piled up in the valley.

Otherwise, on such a hot day of 38 or 9 degrees Celsius, the stench would fill the sky within two days. The strange smell of the Zerg itself mixed with the stench of decay would make it unbearable.

After hearing what Lin Feng said, Qin Hu was immediately overjoyed.

He needs the second-level tiger spine worm corpse more than the black spine worm corpse. After all, the cerebral spinal fluid extracted from it is the main raw material for genetic modification surgery.

Although the Southern Legion can hold the capital's defense line, that's all. The overall strength is far from enough to fight outside the city, so even if a large number of insect swarms are killed, they have to take greater risks to smuggle them back.

That's why insect corpses were left all over the place, and both sides wanted to gather around and bring reinforcements, and continue to bleed each other.

Now this great gift will allow Qin Hu to further implement the genetic modification plan for all employees and cultivate more genetic warriors to narrow the physical gap with the Zerg.

"Thank you!"

Qin Hu stepped forward excitedly and bowed slightly.

Lin Feng hummed:

"Remember to inform the senior management of the federal rear to liquidate the traitors in the city. Don't let them sneak into the management of the rear and cooperate with the Zerg inside and outside, causing another city-wide sacrifice."

Qin Hu's expression changed and he nodded solemnly:

"Understood, I have reported this matter to you. I believe they will be vigilant and conduct verification soon."

"The failure of this defense battle is also related to this group of rebels who surrendered to the enemy..."

"Unfortunately, the struggle for power within the top leadership of the Federation is also very serious. After the breakout plan is successful, it will probably be the same as the situation in the south. The large legions will directly go their separate ways, and they will all stand on their own in the future..."

Lin Feng shrugged, not caring:

"Let them go. Hiding behind will never make a big difference. It will only fall further and further behind, and eventually be eliminated by this evolutionary trend..."

At this time, a reminder popped up in front of Lin Feng:

"The lv31 Hunter King Chain Sword has been upgraded..."

"The synchronized upgrade energy has been condensed and personal upgrade can be started at any time."

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth raised slightly. In this way, he was one step closer to the late third level, and then said to Qin Hu:

"After sorting out the order in the camp, gather all your second-level late-stage fully awakened people."

"At that time, I will arrange for you to undergo the spine worm's artistic conception trial together. If you pass the trial, you will be able to master the power of artistic conception and become a second-level peak powerhouse. At the same time, you will also have the foundation to defeat the Mother Queen."

Qin Hu's expression was startled, and then he couldn't stop being ecstatic.

He had already learned about the power of artistic conception in third-order life forms from Ling Shuyan and the Federal Research Institute, and he also knew that this was the source of the Queen Mother's powerful control ability.

Once the genetic warrior also masters the power of artistic conception, he will be immune to the mental invasion and manipulation of the Mother Queen, and will no longer have to worry about being closely affected by the Mother Queen when fighting deep into the insect nest.

Just like what Lin Feng said, he has the power to face the Queen Mother directly.

"Okay! I will arrange it as soon as possible!"

Qin Hu stopped his excitement and looked solemn.

Lin Feng nodded:

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work first. Remember to tell them the risks involved. If you fail, there is only a dead end, so first think clearly whether you want to go further, and then sign up to participate in the artistic conception trial."

"If a genetic warrior takes a shortcut, he has to bear the price of this path..."

After saying that, Lin Feng returned to the colonial mecha, waved his six wings and took off.

Qin Hu and others were left behind, with admiring eyes, they paused and thought for a while, and then drove away...

Back on the peak of Yunxia Ridge, most of the second-order battle group and two hundred soldiers had evacuated and were arranged to rest and recuperate in the safe northwest main nest.

Only some members of the battle group and a dozen newly promoted second-level awakeners were left to patrol at night.

Lin Feng stepped out of the colonial mecha, absorbed the upgraded energy in the Hunter King's chainsword, and came to Chi Yi's side.

In front of the two of them, Jiang Yuner, who had been unconscious for a long time...

Wake up slowly.
