Chapter 287 Moving Forward, What I Saw and Heard, He Jie

Considering that this trip is to the rear, there is basically no possibility of danger, so Lin Feng left the colonization armor, ion laser cannon and hunting king chain saw sword in the returning team.

The Salvation Army will set out early tomorrow morning and set off to return to the Jincheng base in the south.

And along the way of one thousand kilometers, if they encounter the attack of the third-stage mid-stage mother queen, they can also rely on the sentinel guard mode of the colonization armor to survive the crisis safely.

Of course, with the blessing of the ion laser cannon, the electromagnetic cannon replicas in the hands of everyone are enough to deal with the attack of countless insect swarms.

Even ordinary third-stage mid-stage mother queens can be killed by the five third-stage beings in the team.

On the contrary, Lin Feng and Long Yi are not suitable to carry these large equipment because they are too ostentatious.

In order to obtain the most real intelligence this time, Lin Feng plans to sneak into the laboratory first, find He Jie and Ding Chenghai themselves, and make plans after listening to their introductions.

Instead of notifying the federal high-level officials with great fanfare, leaving them time to whitewash and revise.

After arranging the itinerary for everyone, Lin Feng stood on the mountain with Longyi and waved goodbye to everyone.

At this time, Longyi had been promoted to the third-level initial perfection:

"Lingyi, lv33/39, Zerg Queen clone"

"HP 3k, physique 3k, spirit 3.5k"

"Artistic concept-infinite reproduction (cannot be used when the spirit attribute value is less than 1000)"

"Infinite reproduction evolution ability: spirit control, parasitism, gene control..."

At level 33, she has a spirit attribute value of 3,500. If she is combined with the attributes of the Queen Mother, she is enough to match the third-level mid-term perfection of the Queen Mother.

It's a pity that this time when going to the northwest safe zone, there are some things that need to be consulted with Longyi's opinion. Otherwise, if she leads the team back, Shen Jie and others will undoubtedly be much more relaxed.

"How to go, to summon the green-winged insect?"

Lingyi asked.

She had a lv30 golden armor on her body, which was integrated with the membrane wings of the second-level wind-winged insect. She could fly at a speed of Mach 1 for 20 minutes and reach 400 kilometers away.

However, the final destination of this trip was the Lancheng University Research Institute in the hinterland of the northwest.

Starting from the vicinity of the federal capital, it had to cross four states to the west, spanning 1,400 kilometers.

The flight mode of the golden armor could not reach the destination quickly in a short period of time, and it had to have a long cooling time.

So Lingyi suggested taking the green-winged insect to slow down the forward speed. Only two more transport insects were needed to carry the organic nutrient solution...

Then it could reach the destination within two hours at a speed of 200 meters per second, that is, 720 kilometers per hour.

Although the golden armor had a fast flying speed, it needed to wait in the middle process. The one-hour cooling time was not worth the gain.

Lin Feng nodded and agreed.

The flight mode of the golden armor was not suitable for traveling in a hurry. It was more important to keep it for fighting.

And now they were the biggest reliance of Lin Feng and the others to save their lives, so they should not waste the flying function easily.

Lingyi snapped his fingers, and four first-stage late-stage green-winged insects flew from the top of the main peak of Yunxialing Mountain Range. They were seven or eight meters in size, with a wingspan of nearly twenty meters.

Enough to carry Lin Feng, who weighed nearly a ton.

In addition to the two passengers, there were also transport insects that Lingyi mentioned, responsible for logistics supply. They had a huge tail section, and like bees, their butts were already filled with a large amount of organic nutrient solution.

As the two climbed on the insect's back and held on to the fangs on both sides, Lingyi gave an order, and the four green-winged insects crawling in the mountains waved their long membrane wings on both sides...

Under the high-frequency flapping, a strong airflow was rolled up.

Slowly lifted off and flew to the northwest.

The maximum range of a normal green-winged insect swarm will not exceed the spiritual influence range of the queen of the insect race.

For example, the early queen mother can cover a radius of about 20 to 30 kilometers, while the middle queen mother can cover a radius of 50 to 100 kilometers...

So most of the human air defense lines are deployed in the command center behind the front line.

And in the rear area, which is 100 kilometers away from the front line, even guard posts are rarely deployed.

This is also closely related to the organizational structure of the Zerg.

After all, in order to be obedient and maintain combat effectiveness, one can only make trade-offs in intelligence, which leads to the instant drop in combat effectiveness of the Zerg swarm that leaves the control and command of the queen mother.

For the human army with strong organizational ability, the threat of the ownerless Zerg swarm is actually very low.

So Lin Feng and the others took the green-winged insect and crossed the Taihang Mountains where Yunxialing is located without any obstacles.

Entering Jinzhou in the rear, this place is a major coal mining state in the Federation, supplying more than half of the country's coal consumption.

The steel group has set up many coal bases here, using railway transportation to provide a large amount of coal mines specifically for the steelmaking city in the rear.

Now, several large cities in the area have become deserted and abandoned cities under the shadow of the doomsday of the Zerg invasion, and there is a sense of depression and desolation.

The remaining thousands or tens of thousands of people who did not leave were mostly elderly people with inconvenient legs and feet, who barely made a living by growing vegetables in the suburbs.

Lin Feng did not enter the city, fearing to disturb them and cause unnecessary panic, and observed from a distance the several mining industrial areas that were still bright.

Tens of thousands of people live here, sticking to their posts, and continue to supply industrial power sources for the rear.

Later, a group of two people and four bugs came to Qinzhou, the center of the ancient federation.

There are ancient cities everywhere here, and there are also many areas that were once polluted by heavy industry.

After experiencing the Great Depression, it now relied on the strong demand from the frontline war to regain its vitality and began to operate at full capacity.

Several large base cities in the rear security zone are located in Qinzhou.

According to Qin Hu's introduction, six large base cities with a population of 10 million have been gathered here, including four in the south and two in the north. Unfortunately, the only two large cities in the north that the Federation can still fully control today are.

The four cities bordering the states in the south and deep south have already formed a semi-independent state under the guidance of their respective awakened people, and they are the kind that listen to the propaganda but not the instructions.

Among them are the industrial bases of the Iron and Steel Alliance Group, located in the south and southeast corners of Qinzhou. There are two industrial bases in total. They specialize in processing tens of thousands of tons of coal transported from Jinzhou, and at the same time transport coking coal, coke, and electricity to southern Hunan. The state's non-ferrous smelting base.

Because Qinzhou is located south of the Changhe River, and the terrain is dominated by loess mountains. In order not to expose his existence, Lin Feng asked Qiyi to control the green winged insect and lower its flight altitude.

Try your best to continue sneaking between the barren and dim mountains towards Longzhou, the destination of this trip.

Soon, the two entered the boundary of Longzhou. There were not many survivors gathered here, and most of the refugees stayed in the large base city of Qinzhou.

At least there are abundant resources there, and you can still go to the factory to make a living, but the environment in Longzhou is too harsh, and there is not even a large base city with a level of tens of millions.

The only large city, the state capital Lancheng, has a population of only a few million. Like Jincheng in the south, it is built around the great river in the north.

In a harsh environment with dust everywhere and smog covering the sky, Lancheng can barely guarantee its water supply in the summer.

Lin Feng took out a map provided by Qin Hu and quickly found the university town in the center of the city.

The research center of mother He Yiwen was located in a research building in the university town, but Lin Feng did not know the specific location.

But as long as the general direction is determined, through telepathy and Zhi Yi's mental scanning, the specific locations of He Jie and Ding Chenghai can be found out quickly.

"We're finally here, let's go, let's find a place for them to hide first."

Lin Feng spoke slowly, and the two landed on a gravel wasteland outside the city.

Before the sun had completely set, they found a mound of earth and allowed four green-winged insects to hide and settle here.

After instructing them to suck the organic nutrient solution and not to run out without permission, Xie Yi followed Lin Feng's pace and walked towards the only big city in the wasteland in front of him.

The two of them walked as fast as flying, maintaining a steady pace of tens of meters at a time, and arrived at the outskirts of Lancheng within a moment.

This place is said to be a suburb, but it is already filled with some of the survivors who have been diverted here. Those who fled here basically have to rely on the rescue of the War Management Committee to survive.

However, Lin Feng saw many people among them who looked numb but had good strength.

Their physical attributes are generally high, and some even reach the level of sixth-level enhanced humans, but their bodies are very weak, and their health points and mental attributes are far lower than normal humans.

Just when Lin Feng was confused, the cockroach beside him spoke directly and explained softly:

"They have conducted experiments. They should have used the supernatural cells of other awakened humans to improve the overall evolutionary level of the group."

"It is equivalent to developing the most universal and adaptable evolutionary medicine from a large number of experimental samples."

"So these people are used as waste and naturally become the victims behind the progress of the ethnic group..."

Lin Feng did not nod and was slightly silent.

Chrysalis patted him on the shoulder:

"Now is the time of life and death for human beings. Don't worry so much. If the basic strength of all people can be improved to what you call the enhanced human stage, this will undoubtedly be huge for the improvement of human beings as a whole."

"After all, the Enhanced Man, fully armed, can compete with the Zerg's first-order Black Spine Worms."

"The improvement of the overall evolution level will also allow the originally huge group of ordinary people to expand the basis for the birth of awakened people, thus increasing the number of awakened people."

"Not all of these people were experimented on, so it was probably voluntary."

"It's a good deal to exchange experiments for material compensation."

Lin Feng nodded, no longer thinking about these things, and transformed into an afterimage with Zhi Yi, disappearing into the refugee gathering area on the outskirts of the city.

Soon I saw a large area of ​​biological research institutions in the city, still brightly lit at dusk. This should also be the main center of the Federal Biological Research Institute.

According to Lin Feng's telepathy, there are many weak but powerful beings in these buildings and underground laboratories.

They all possess the mid-to-late second level of strength.

The brightness of some light sources can even rival that of a second-level peak genetic warrior, and their strength should not be underestimated.

At this moment, Lin Feng also thought of what he learned from Ling Shuyan about the artificial superman project of the Federal Institute of Biology when he was still at the Jincheng base.

Utilize teenagers and children's excellent performance in fusion of superpower genes to help them awaken and at the same time implant multiple superpower tissue cells...

This allows it to release different abilities in battle.

The only problem with doing this is that the load is too heavy, which will seriously consume and overdraw the vitality of the experimenters. While shortening their lifespan, they will always be in a semi-weak state...

Combat endurance is greatly reduced.

However, this time I came to Lancheng in the northwest not to witness the effectiveness of the federal curve in saving the country, but to retrieve clues about my parents' past.

So Lin Feng immediately took the curious Chi Yi away from this large, brightly lit biological industry area.

Arriving outside the university town, they confirmed where the research institute building was. After entering, they saw only a few laboratories with lights on.

Lin Feng used his telepathy to check accurately and confirmed that a laboratory was most likely where He Jie and the two were.

Chi Yi on the side also used mental means to clean the area inside and out, and then analyzed the pheromones in the air to confirm its location like Lin Feng.

Moreover, the goals chosen by both sides were surprisingly consistent.

After looking at each other and smiling, the two continued to sneak.

As soon as he was around, he only needed to look at the nearby guard, and the other person immediately fell into a coma. Under the heavy blow of the mental hammer, he instantly fell into a baby-like sleep.

This is the benefit of mastering spiritual means, being able to sneak into various places silently. When the Zerg mother body was able to serve as a spy and lurk in the human army, it was obviously because of its outstanding spiritual power.

After breaking through these first-order peak guarding forces, the two ghostly figures quickly approached the laboratory where He Jie and Ding Chenghai were.

Lin Feng looked at the introduction board outside the laboratory, which also had the ID photo of his mother He Yiwen, as well as her professional title, background and research direction, and couldn't help but feel a lot.

As her son, he has not been here once in so many years since He Yiwen was transferred here to do research.

Put your hand on the door handle and use gentle force to twist off the inner lock cylinder.

After opening the door, he saw Ding Chenghai holding a long knife made from the giant jaws of a tiger spine insect, protecting a woman in a white coat behind him.

It wasn't until Lin Feng and the two men showed their appearance under the dim light that Ding Chenghai's tense nerves were relieved.

Then, his whole body was shaking with excitement, and he couldn't speak clearly even with a smile:

"Lin...Lin Feng?"

"Good boy, why are you here!?"

Lin Feng shrugged, opened his hands, and hugged Ding Chenghai, who looked haggard.

In March after the apocalypse broke out, the two of them, as once familiar friends, met again after experiencing so many twists and turns, and they were filled with emotion.

"Sit down and talk."

Lin Feng patted Ding Chenghai on the shoulder, took out a few bottles of organic nutrient solution from his backpack, and handed them to Ding Chenghai.

After the latter took a sip, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He hurriedly handed the remaining bottles to the woman behind him.

Lin Feng turned his head and looked at the familiar old friend in front of him with a solemn expression.

The other person looks somewhat similar to his mother, He Yiwen, and is a relative on my mother's side.

Lin Feng didn't have a deep impression of her, and the two of them didn't communicate too much. After all, the world of academic masters was far different from that of ordinary people like him.

Now that they met again, Lin Feng coughed lightly:

"Long time no see, cousin..."
