Chapter 137 Lin Feng’s Strength, Responsibility, and the Visit of the Thirteenth Division
Led by the land cruiser, the fleet docked at the entrance of the wormhole and came to greet the Master Chief who had successfully returned.
Facing the battleship-shaped chariot that was more than 20 meters long and six to seven meters wide, Qin Hu and others were shocked and speechless, and stood there blankly.
On the lines on both sides of the flaming hull, there are several 200 mm caliber cannons. Even the shooting windows of the remaining eight tanks are equipped with multiple cannons of the same caliber. , and countless heavy machine guns.
A rough calculation shows that there are forty or fifty howitzers and hundreds of heavy machine guns. This kind of firepower is comparable to an artillery battalion and an infantry regiment.
But in Qin Hu's view, the most important thing is the extremely powerful mobility of the convoy, or land fleet, in front of him.
Judging from the speed at which they arrived just now, it should be no less than a hundred yards, which is faster than the maximum burst speed of the second-order tiger spine insects. This means that the fleet owned by Lin Feng can completely Fight and move at the same time, take the initiative to attack, and directly eliminate all Zerg from a distance.
And this is still in an urban area that has been reduced to ruins. If it were on the plains in the suburbs, the mobility would be stronger.
As long as there is sufficient ammunition and strong firepower...
With just the hundred people under Lin Feng, they can contain the Zerg expansion and invasion outside the second line of defense.
Thinking of this, Qin Hu discovered that the city in ruins and the smoke-filled Zerg restricted area in front of him were not the result of a war between humans and insects. It was the fleet in front of him that was the work of only a hundred people.
It seems that there is no need to worry about the issue of weapons and ammunition.
No wonder Lin Feng dared to go deep into the underground insect nest with just one person, and no wonder everyone did not encounter any obstacles on the way back.
It turns out that the black spine worms and tiger spine worms have been suppressed by the fierce firepower on the surface, and they can only hide in the insect nest and tremble.
The reason why the Underground Mother Queen let everyone go so easily was probably because of the situation on the surface.
At the moment, it is just ground suppression. With the smooth return of Lin Feng and the other two, the fleet can fire into the underground wormhole and seal and bury the entire Zerg race underground.
Without air circulation and soil accumulation, red beetles cannot dig very far, let alone deep.
In the end, he could only return to the surface and choose to fight to the death with Lin Feng's fleet.
While Qin Hu was thinking about how to maximize the role of this fleet, Lin Feng had already sent people to put the biological materials hauled to the surface into the open front port of the battleship and save them in the storage space. Inside.
As for the complete insect corpses that Qin Hu wanted to bring back, Lin Feng asked the chariot behind to put it on the roof and transport it back to the defense line.
After a journey of seven or eight kilometers, we arrived quickly.
During this period, Qin Hu took the wounded and boarded the chariot where Li Ran was. He also saw many old subordinates who had survived the defeat of the first line of defense. Most of them were already on the list of missing and dead. I didn't expect that one day we would meet Lin Feng again.
After some pleasantries, Qin Hu told Li Ran one by one the bad news about what he saw and heard in the underground insect nest, as well as the difficulty of holding the Wucheng defense line.
Li Ran was his former personal guard and now served as the pre-war commander here in Lin Feng. There was a lot of new news and Qin Hu needed to inform him and prepare for it in advance.
After all, the entire southern region will have to count on Lin Feng’s forces in the future.
What made Qin Hu feel a little relieved was that from Li Ran's reply, Lin Feng planned to stay in Wucheng to prevent further invasion of the Zerg.
I didn’t care about the accidental bombing of the Thirteenth Division last time because of the spy Cheng Zhan.
With such a powerful fleet, it is bound to reduce most of the defensive pressure on the defenders within the second line of defense.
Looking at the high-walled fortress appearing in the distance, Qin Hu narrowed his eyes and told Li Ran to just tell Lin Feng to stop here, and they would rush back on their own for the last few hundred meters.
After receiving the request, Lin Feng immediately ordered the car to stop.
Jumped off the battleship and came to Qin Hu and others who had removed the insect corpses and were about to leave.
If there are no accidents, this should be the last time the two of them see each other in the near future, and it is also likely to be their farewell.
After all, in the battle to defend the federal capital, even if Lin Feng goes there, he is not sure of victory. Even escaping from the siege in the end depends on luck and praying that he will not be intercepted by the Mother Queens.
But Lin Feng knew better that Qin Hu had made up his mind, and his determination to "send death" could not be dispelled by just a few words of persuasion.
The federal capital cannot be defended, and fleeing without a fight means surrender. Without legitimacy, the federation would exist in name only.
Even if the defense battle ultimately fails, it can delay the progress of the Zerg invasion on the entire northern front, thereby buying time for the relocation and retreat of heavy industries in the states behind.
With the breakdown of Wucheng's first line of defense, the eyes of all survivors are now focused on the federal capital, hoping that humanity's first defensive victory can be achieved there.
However, the capital city, with a population of tens of millions, is far from comparable to Wucheng. It will naturally attract more Zerg Mother Queens and surround the capital city from all directions.
Just like Taihu Lake, which is now sandwiched between Jincheng and Wucheng, it has also become the target of many queens near the south of the Yangtze River, fighting for an upgrade as soon as possible.
So when waving goodbye to Qin Hu, Lin Feng specially reminded:
"The Mother Queen in the third stage is not the end point that the Zerg can evolve to. They are eyeing the capital, and their target is the millions of survivors and awakened people in the city who have not yet been transferred."
"Haicheng Mother Queen Just by breaking through the first line of defense, we will enter the middle stage of the third level in one fell swoop. We will be able to hatch new second level worms and control more tiger spine worms..."
"Once the capital falls, the mother queen will win in the end. , will grow to an incredible level. So, if you are still there at that time..."
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Qin Hu's eyes widened, and after taking a deep breath, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes. Then he made a hoarse voice and interrupted:
"Don't worry... I know what to do."
"In the defense battle of the capital, there were only genetic warriors who died heroically, and there were no survivors who surrendered and were captured alive..."
Lin Feng looked solemn and nodded slightly.
Watching Qin Hu leading the surviving team members, dragging the huge body of the Pulse War Scorpion, towards the second line of defense, after the city gate opened, several armored vehicles drove out and carried them into the city smoothly.
Lin Feng immediately returned to the battleship and ordered to return to the hinterland of the Zerg...
The visit to the Zerg Nest was fruitful.
Not only did he harvest the materials for the new second-level Zerg, but he also obtained a powerful melee weapon. In the future, he will have more trump cards to break defenses when fighting against the Queen Mother.
Upgrade the Tiger Tooth Chain Sword to lv29, with a base damage of 900 points, and combined with the extremely fast cutting attribute, it can explode five times the base damage of 4500 points.
Even if the Mother Queen's shell armor is one meter thick, it can break through the defense within two or three seconds, and then use the electromagnetic gun to continuously bombard it...
As long as there is a health bar , not afraid of being killed.
Even tens of thousands of health points are just a few more shots.
As for now, it is not the time to retreat.
As Qin Hu said before leaving, if the Zerg offensive can be suppressed on the surface, all the connecting holes in the entire insect nest will be needed in the future.
Firstly, it can cut off their oxygen and prevent the red beetles from continuing to dig holes and expand. Secondly, it can also block the delivery of all nutritious food.
Let the Zerg struggle to repair the wormhole.
Lin Feng thinks it makes sense.
So he ordered the fleet to go deep into the hinterland of the Zerg and fire several artillery fire at each wormhole entrance to ensure the collapse of the wormhole tunnel.
Block the link between insect nests.
Let the Zerg army in the third-level insect nest not only lack the required intake of oxygen, but also convert liquid hydrogen in the body to release energy to sustain life activities.
At the same time, it can also cause the deeper secondary insect nests and even the mother nest five hundred meters below to fall into a downturn.
Unfortunately, Lin Feng originally planned to return to the underground and go to the second-level insect nest to find out what was going on and see if he could be lucky enough to find some second-level insect eggs to help the chain sword complete the upgrade quickly.
But now it is more important to curb the expansion of the Zerg.
And the appearance of the samurai hunting insects also dispelled his idea of acting alone.
That monster poses a greater threat to the awakened than the late second-order tiger spine worms. Lin Feng would rather face ten late second-order giant worms than be surrounded and hunted by ten samurai hunting insects. .
What's more, according to the identification information, the samurai hunting insects they encountered in the insect nest before were only second-order early-stage insectoids below level 24, and the existence of the mid- and late-stage insects has not yet been discovered by the mother queen. send.
Maybe it was just developed and hasn’t evolved to that level yet, but it doesn’t exist now, which doesn’t mean it will never exist in the future.
Next time you go deep into the insect nest, you need to lead a group of fully armed second-level awakeners to deal with the warrior insect hunters with high attack and low defense. The shotgun has a power of up to 190 points, form a defensive formation, and place it in the underground insect nest. Just right!
Lin Feng was planning his next trip to the underground insect nest, and the sound of artillery sounded again...
The object of destruction this time was no longer just the gathering place of the insect swarm, All the wormhole entrances above the surface were bombarded by artillery fire and collapsed and were submerged one by one.
It is getting late at this moment, and the sun has already set mostly in the west. The blue starry night, with the moon appearing, gradually covers the earth. In order to end today's work as soon as possible, after clearing all the wormholes between the two lines of defense, Lin Feng directly ordered to bombard the first line of defense that had been eaten away by the Zerg.
After dozens of shots were fired, the main fort and city wall collapsed, just like the outpost where everyone was originally located, they sank into a deep pit, completely burying the entrance below.
There were a hundred main castles, twenty kilometers long, and it took two hours to destroy them all.
After doing all this, Lin Feng saw that it was getting late, and the artillery on the tank had 5,000 ammunition. After an afternoon of pouring, most of it had been consumed, and it would take some time to recover to full.
At this time, the Zerg expansion was progressing, and they were pushed back outside Wucheng City, with a distance of ten kilometers from the second line of defense. They could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
Lin Feng then ordered to turn back and return to the camp to rest.
I looked at the time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
The arduous battle that was thought before became extremely easy after Lin Feng and Qin Hu went deep into the insect nest, slaughtered the second-order tiger spine insects, and disrupted the new second-order insect tribe's offensive.
After all, in the underground insect nest, the home ground of the insect race, the Queen Mother has nothing to do with the human awakeners, so naturally she will not launch another army of insect waves and come to the surface to kill people.
The journey was dusty and we rushed back to the temporary camp.
Everyone has experienced a tense and exciting battle, or drag racing is more appropriate. Although the body is a little tired at this moment, the spirit is extremely excited.
Especially in front of the defenders of the Thirteenth Division, former teammates and veterans who looked down upon themselves, they showed their brilliance. With only a fleet of 150 people, they easily suppressed the swarm of insects that were pressing every step of the way...
Who can believe the results of this victory?
Looking at the soldiers outside, they gathered in the parking lot surrounded by tanks, built a bonfire in the center, and talked about the harvest of today's battle.
At present, more than half of the team members have successfully entered the late stage of the first level and are only one step away from the deep awakening of the second level, or a second level insect egg in the hands of the Master Chief.
Lin Feng stood quietly in the bow of the ship, looking down at the soldiers under his command. He wanted to give a few words of admonishment, not to be arrogant or complacent.
But then I thought about it, this was one of the few big victories everyone had against the Mother Queen of Haicheng, and it couldn't dampen the morale of the team members.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng suddenly thought of something else, which could kill two birds with one stone.
So he turned around and asked:
"How many second-order insect eggs are there?"
Chen Yanyan came over after taking a bath and wiped her hair:
"You upgraded and killed thirty-three, I used one, and there are still sixteen left, what's wrong?"
Lin Feng has risen slightly recently, which is enough.
Immediately walked out of the bow and stood outside the battleship.
The soldiers who were having a bonfire party became quiet when they saw the Master Chief.
Lin Feng coughed lightly, first affirming everyone's efforts today and successfully suppressing the Zerg invasion, and then turned the topic to the second-order insect eggs that attracted the most attention.
The expressions of the team members gradually became serious, fearing that they would miss any words and miss the precious opportunity to advance to awakening.
Lin Feng looked down at the crowd and spoke slowly:
"Now most of us have entered the realm of late first-order perfection, and the rest of the members are almost there too."
"The next step is to activate the second-level deep awakening. The prerequisites for promotion are the same as when everyone obtains the first-level awakening. You need to kill a second-level Zerg."
"The most common It is a second-level tiger spine insect, a giant insect that can directly knock over heavy tanks. Even if you use shotguns, you can only suppress the opponent and cannot kill it with one hit."
"As for the other second-order Zerg, I heard from the captain that when you were annihilating the swarm today, you have encountered the Pulse War Scorpion and the Tank Flame Armor of the new second-order Zerg..."
"Pulse War The scorpion will hide in the potholes, but when faced with the tank's flame armor, it can't even break through its thick armor..."
"If you want to kill a second-level zerg on your own, you have to deal with any first-level zerg. It’s not an easy task for an awakened person.”
“So the fastest way to advance is to obtain the second-level insect eggs from the Queen of Jiacheng.”
< br>“But now that you are staying in the tank, you don’t seem to have an urgent need to advance, and the number of second-level insect eggs is also very limited.”
"In today's battle, the only one who is eligible for the reward is Captain Shen Jie who went underground with me. He fought hard against the second-order Zerg in the underground insect nest. Not only did he successfully repel the Zerg's attack, but he also successfully marched forward. Awakening in the middle of the second level..."
"So, I will reward him with an extra insect egg."
Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to a tank. On the observation deck, Captain Shen Jie was sitting.
He is the most powerful awakening in the entire team at this moment, second only to the Master Chief...
But those envious gazes turned from Shen Jie's face to his side among the girls.
This precious second-level insect egg may become an opportunity for Zhang Liying to advance.
After all, Shen Jie, who is already in the middle of the second level, can continue to kill insects and become stronger just by relying on his own strength and following Lin Feng to continue his actions.
Everyone envied Zhang Liying's good luck, and even more envied Shen Jie's fearless courage.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Feng continued:
"As for you, of course you also have a chance..."
The team members present all turned their heads in an instant and stared at their sergeant chief.
“And the opportunity is to shoulder your responsibilities!”
“After becoming a second-level awakener, I hope you can follow me deep into the insect nest like Captain Shen Jie, and fight with The Zerg hiding in the ground continue to fight."
"Don't forget that our goal is to kill and expel these alien Zerg and save all humans!"
"Now that the Zerg is being defeated. If we don’t stay behind closed doors, we must take the initiative and use the death of the second-order Zerg to pave the way to kill the Zerg Queen!”
"I hope you will think clearly before signing up."
"The second-order insect eggs are not just a reward, but also represent the responsibilities that second-order awakened people should shoulder!"
Voice As soon as they landed, the leader, Captain Li Ran, stood up and started applauding.
Following his lead, everyone stood up and applauded.
While applauding and cheering, many people were also lost in thought and entanglement.
There is no doubt about the danger of the underground insect nest.
This can be seen from the encounter of the elite team led by Colonel Qin Hu this evening.
Also equipped with sophisticated equipment, they still lost several team members, and some even had their legs broken.
Without the help of the Master Chief, Qin Hu and the others would not even have a chance to get out of the insect nest and would die without a burial place.
I heard that Captain Shen Jie was also seriously injured, and only relied on the upgraded and awakened energy to recover from his physical injuries. However, when he walked out of the wormhole, his tattered armor had already been revealed silently. , the horror of the underground insect nest.
Lin Feng smiled slightly, and seeing that the effect had been achieved, he waved and turned to leave.
…………
At eleven o’clock in the night, when everyone present was already going to bed one after another, the appearance of several armored vehicles broke the midnight tranquility...
Lin Feng frowned slightly, put on his clothes and walked out of the camp.
I saw his patrol team raising their guns and pointing them at the crowd getting off the car, while Li Ran was negotiating with them.
Judging from the appearance of the other party, he was from the Thirteenth Lu Division.
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed.
He saw several general ranks.
