Chapter 132: Insect Nest Battle, Tiger Tooth Chain Sword
Hearing the sound of several gunshots coming from the dark depths of the city wall corridor, Lin Feng and Shen Jie couldn't help but quicken their steps.
Run quickly towards the source of the sound.
While running, Lin Feng activated his telepathy skills to detect the Zerg hidden in the target direction.
And soon, in a wormhole eight hundred meters away from the two of them, the signal lights of a second-order awakened person and several first-order late-stage fully awakened people appeared.
Different from the Zerg, due to the size difference, although the human awakened ones have the same light point brightness as the Zerg of the same level, the size of the light source displayed is only one third of the Zerg, or even smaller.
This is also the main basis for Lin Feng to distinguish between awakened people and insect swarms when analyzing the detection results.
Presumably these awakened ones who went deep into the wormhole are the elite team led by Qin Hu.
As Lin Feng and the two got closer and closer to the place where the battle took place, their telepathy detected that several second-order worms appeared deeper into the wormhole, fighting fiercely with Qin Hu and others.
Lin Feng, who was fully armed, raised his electromagnetic gun and asked Shen Jie, who had entered the black warrior state, to stay back and wait for the opportunity.
His Wing Tiger's frenzied fighting state can only last for about five minutes and must be used at critical moments. Moreover, Shen Jie's close combat ability is stronger than his own, especially inside the wormhole, where too many armor-piercing bombs and magnetic burst bombs are fired. If so, it would easily cause the cave to collapse and bury everyone.
Seeing that the wormhole entrance where the sound came from has appeared not far away, Lin Feng reminded in a low voice:
"Wait a minute, you are responsible for guarding the left and right, and take care of the rear. Leave the Zerg to me."
Shen Jie nodded. In the black warrior form, the two-meter-long black and gray arm blade shone with cold light. After Zhang Liying's transformation, the black armor that appeared on his body was comparable to the red one. The black armor combined into one is equivalent to double the armor.
It is enough to withstand the vigorous attack of the tiger spine insect.
It's equivalent to having an extra life.
More than ten seconds later, the two of them successfully passed through the obstacle-laden defense corridor and arrived at the bottom of a main castle.
At the bottom of the main castle, the warehouse originally used to store weapons and supplies was now hollowed out by the Zerg, and a deep pit with a diameter of 20 meters wide appeared in front of the two of them.
Fortunately, the entrance of the cave is diagonally downward, so there is no need to jump straight into it. The two of them looked at each other and then walked into the bottomless cave one after another.
The entire wormhole is filled with that familiar strange smell, which is stronger than that in the defense corridor. Fortunately, the underground worm nest excavated by the red beetle has a very complete ventilation system, which can connect to the surface air and circulate into the air. The underground cave ensures that oxygen still exists hundreds of meters underground.
As a carbon-based flesh-and-blood life, Zerg also needs redox reactions to decompose nutrients in the body as the basis for the continuation of life activities.
After the transformation of the biological factory, the low-level Zerg have adapted to absorb oxygen as a way of survival.
So ventilation of the insect nest is extremely important.
Lin Feng and Lin Feng can also rely on the powerful sensory organs of second-level awakeners to detect the direction of weak airflow and avoid getting lost after going deep into the bottom of the insect nest.
However, it is a pity that Lin Feng's telepathy skills cannot detect the structure of dead objects, and can only show the location of living objects.
Fortunately, the constant explosions deep in the cave allowed the two of them to successfully find Qin Hu and others.
As the two parties approached, Lin Feng unexpectedly heard some strange sounds, like machinery operating in a factory, sizzling and echoing in the cave.
Perhaps the Pulse War Scorpion's electromagnetic pulse cannon has reduced its charge level and is attacking Qin Hu and others.
After walking more than two hundred meters in the dim wormhole, the two finally saw a bright light coming from the distance.
I saw Qin Hu and a few others, wearing Zerg exoskeleton armor similar to red black armor, and also holding a heavy sword-like melee weapon in their hands.
But the black and yellow weapons made a high-frequency buzzing and vibrating sound. When they were flexibly waved in the hands of the awakened ones and split the incoming second-order tiger spine insects, they directly rubbed out the smell that Lin Feng heard. Sizzling sound.
The giant sword collided with the tiger spine insect's giant jaw, and a dazzling spark burst out.
Using the searchlights equipped on their bodies, in the dim light, Lin Feng saw that those heavy sword-like weapons turned out to be a two-meter-long electric chain saw!
With the help of the crazy rotating motor, the saw teeth began to cut the giant jaw of the tiger spine insect.
Especially when the Awakened Ones raised their chain swords to stop the tiger spine insect from lifting its upper jaw, the rotating saw teeth could directly cut off the giant jaw in just two or three seconds.
Such a powerful display made Lin Feng's eyes suddenly light up and he couldn't take his eyes away.
Soon, Lin Feng walked behind the group of awakened people.
I saw him raising his gun and aiming at the late second-order lv27 tiger spine insect that was about to pounce in front of everyone.
As he pulled the trigger, under the headshot lock of the Eye of Death attribute, the damage was as high as 900 armor-piercing bullets, directly hitting the torso behind the jaws of the tiger spine insect, and then exploded inside its body. .
I saw the entire second-order insect body burst open!
The armor, which was ten centimeters thick, was torn apart, and the remaining limbs were flying around.
But because of this, the power of the armor-piercing projectiles was absorbed by the tiger spine insects and did not have much impact on the nearby caves.
With the death of the only second-level late-stage tiger spine insect, the Zerg offensive was gradually suppressed. The elite team led by Qin Hu fought and retreated.
And he himself, using the chain sword in his hand, split open a second-stage early-stage tiger spine insect from the mouth of the jaw, then turned around and walked to Lin Feng, shouting loudly:
“What are you doing here?”
Because of the chainsword's attack and the cutting noise, it was deafening and difficult to hear clearly.
After Lin Feng barely understood, he replied loudly:
“This may be a trap!”
“The new second-order Zerg will ambush you!”< br>
Qin Hu shook his head. At this moment, the battle ahead was coming to an end. Many late first-order awakeners had successfully killed the second-order Zerg for the first time through the powerful chain swords in their hands.
Just return to the second line of defense to enter the second level of deep awakening and become another second level awakener.
Coupled with the research institute's genetic modification surgery, genetic warriors comparable to the mid-level second level will appear on the scene.
During this period, even Shen Jie seriously injured a tiger spine insect with the shotgun in his hand, and then used the two-meter-long arm blade to kill it and gain upgrade energy.
With the end of the war, everyone retreated to the outer entrance of the cave to rest temporarily.
Lin Feng and Qin Hu continued to communicate.
Through identification, Qin Hu has entered level 22 at this moment, indicating that he has killed at least five or more second-level Zerg species, but he has not entered the state of genetic assimilation. It should be the unusual melee weapon in his hand. .
Qin Hu took a deep breath and said excitedly:
“This is the first time that we humans have defeated the Zerg attack underground in the wormhole! But what I didn’t expect is that the scale of the underground wormhole is larger than ours. It’s even bigger than I imagined!”
Pointing to the cave where everyone just exited:
“According to the research institute’s information, there should be a level three insect nest there, probably with Three to four square kilometers, equivalent to a commercial district.”
"There are thousands of first-order black spine worms and a dozen second-order tiger spine worms living inside. After we entered, we drove away the lower-level worms, but were chased and intercepted by the tiger spine worms. Finally, we retreated into the insect tunnel while fighting."
“Fortunately, you took action, otherwise there would have been attrition against that late second-order tiger spine insect.”
Lin Feng shrugged, and honestly completed the lv2 electromagnetic gun and After his own upgrade, he was no longer willing to take action again. No matter how many tiger spine insects he killed, he would not gain much.
And being in an underground cave, you can’t bring back too many biological materials for fusion and upgrade. Unless you encounter the new second-level Zerg, Pulse War Scorpion, Tank Flame Armor, etc.
Facing the second-level tiger spine insect, Lin Feng was more willing to give up the opportunity to upgrade to Shen Jie or other awakened ones.
After all, the second-level Zerg is quite rare, and such close combat experience is equally valuable.
It allows awakened people to grow up quickly.
After hearing Qin Hu’s introduction, Lin Feng asked:
“So you still have to stay in the wormhole and fight in order to complete the tasks assigned by the institute?”
"Those new second-level zerg species are not that easy to deal with. Compared with tiger spine worms, they are more professional and specialized. Just like ordinary soldiers, they are the same as snipers and rocket soldiers. They are extremely difficult to deal with."
< br>Qin Hu nodded, took off his mask, lit a cigarette for himself, and took a deep breath:
“Yes, but we have this!”
Raised the chain in his hand Sawing the sword, he exhaled white smoke and continued:
"It is our mission and responsibility to understand and obtain information about the new second-order Zerg, hand it over to the research institute, and then study how to deal with them."
"And the victory of the war also requires this information. The capital sent several teams of genetic warriors, but due to the large number of queens they faced and the complex structure of the wormhole crypt, no one has survived yet..."
< br>"There is only one Queen Mother in Haicheng, and the number of new second-order Zerg species hatched from it is also small. This is one of the few perfect opportunities we have."
"Not to mention this time. , It’s not just these gains.”
Qin Hu turned his head and glanced at the team member sitting behind him, the deputy captain of the team, a lv19 awakener.
And he is also a genetic warrior. Both Lin Feng and Shen Jie can smell the strange smell emanating from his body, as well as a trace of madness flashing in his eyes.
The deputy captain interjected:
“Hello, Sergeant Lin, I’ve heard of you for a long time.”
“My name is Chen Shu, the former commander of the 98th company, and currently serving as Colonel Qin’s deputy. "
Chen Shu took out a bag of things from his backpack, showed it to Lin Feng, and then carefully stuffed it back.
It was a medical and biochemical PE sealed bag, with a yellow skull warning sign printed on the bag. It contains some material that emits a faint green fluorescence, similar to the fungus slime mold that grows on rotten wood.
Chen Shu pushed it up out of habit. The non-existent glasses on his face were probably a top student in the past. If it hadn't been for the alien Zerg invasion, there would be no need for him to live and die in the Zerg hinterland.
After showing it to everyone, Chen Shu introduced:
“This is some kind of luminous slime mold we found in the insect nest. It seems to be able to produce nutrients. I saw it from a distance. There are red beetles sucking it."
"Take it back and study it, and you may be able to uncover the basic life cycle of the Zerg. If you can find a way to destroy this luminous substance or its breeding environment, you can eliminate the problem. Like this, destroying the Zerg’s foundation for survival.”
“Destroying their staple food.”
"This is more meaningful than victory on the frontal battlefield."
Lin Feng nodded, this is also an idea.
Qin Hu crushed away most of the cigarette he had smoked and said with a smile:
“It’s different to be educated. We rough guys can’t compare.”
Then he looked at Lin Feng with a solemn expression:
"Do you want to go together? Or do you want to leave early? But with you joining us and using long-range attacks, I believe we can easily win against the new second-order Zerg..."
Lin Feng's eyes were fixed on him all the time. Qin Hu held the chain sword tightly in his hand, nodded and said:
"No problem, this is also one of the purposes of my coming here."
"This weapon has some tricks, and the saw teeth on it are Is it made of the giant jaws of tiger spine insects?"
Qin Hu showed a smile. He knew very well that Lin Feng was greedy for this weapon. He stood up and swung the chain saw while solemnly introducing:
< br>
"This is called the Tiger Tooth Chain Sword. It is the latest individual weapon developed by the Weapons Research Institute. The sharp saw teeth are made from the giant jaws of tiger spine insects, and the blade is made of a whole body of tungsten alloy. It is two meters and three meters long. The chain saw is 1.8 meters, 35 centimeters wide, and weighs a terrifying 800 kilograms. Without the late-stage first-order perfection, which is close to ten tons of physical strength, it would be impossible to wield it for a long time. "
" Of course, this chain sword is just right in your hands, even a little lighter."
"The research institute is currently developing a weapon that is more suitable for second-level awakeners."
Then Qin Hu took out three fist-sized tiger insect serrations from the backpack behind him and replaced the excessively worn serrations on the chain sword.
“Yes, this is a modular design, and each saw tooth can be replaced individually to facilitate maintaining combat effectiveness. The thirty kilograms of fuel under the backpack is enough to use it for more than five hours...”
"With it, any second-order Zerg that gets close will die from being cut by the tiger's teeth!"
Lin Feng nodded in agreement.
The giant jaw of the tiger spine insect is the hardest organ among all second-order insects. After being made into serrated teeth, it does have the ability to break through all defenses.
Especially due to the gravity of the Tiger Tooth Chain Sword, the strength bonus of the Awakened One, and the repeated cutting of the saw teeth, even the Flying Tiger Armor cannot withstand it for long.
Unfortunately, to deal with the second-order tiger spine insects, the saw teeth need to be replaced in time. During the fierce close combat, there is no time to replace them.
If it is used as an item, bound into equipment, and subsequently upgraded, this flaw may be solved.
After seeing the powerful power of the tiger-tooth chain sword, Lin Feng had already made some plans.
With Qin Hu's complete display, the identification results also appeared in front of his eyes:
"Tiger Tooth Chain Sword lv24/29, Orange Quality"
"Upgrade Points 3/10, durability: 10/10, single saw damage 400"
"Note: After starting the chain saw, the damage per second is 2000, causing effective damage. The durability is reduced by one point every ten seconds. The damage decreases with the reduction of durability. Replacing new saw teeth can restore the durability"
"Evaluation: This is a primitive and terrifying melee weapon, but for the more brutal and ruthless Zerg, it is surprisingly effective. It is originally the strongest shield in the world, and it can naturally become the sharpest spear. Use it with caution. , pay attention to the durability.”
After reading the evaluation given by the system, Lin Feng called out, “Hey guys, the wear and tear is decreasing faster than driving without releasing the handbrake.
But if you think about it carefully, according to the reminder in the comments, it can be used normally for about fifty seconds at full state, and the damage per second is upwards of one thousand. During the battle, on average, two seconds will It can kill a tiger spine worm...
In this way, a tiger tooth chain saw sword can kill at least twenty tiger spine worms before it is close to being scrapped.
In fact, it is not missed.
Maximize the utilization value of the tiger spine insect's giant jaws.
The wielder may be exhausted before even twenty tiger spine worms are killed.
The Qin Hu in front of him seemed to notice that Lin Feng was moved, so he picked up the tiger-tooth chain sword in the hands of the adjutant and handed it over:
"Try it, you will definitely know it. Like it.”
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, but did not reach out:
"What price?"
I want to get up early! Get up early!
I want to update! Breaking news!
