Chapter 212 Cooperation and sincerity, military parade and then expedition
“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 Group is?"
Lin Feng spoke calmly, unmoved.
Zhang Zihan pushed up her glasses, with a bit of pride:
"The Iron and Steel United Group is currently one of the top forces in the rear security zone. It has seven base cities across three states. The survivors of the group A total of up to ten million. "
"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 forces. Department..."
"Comparatively speaking, we have no shortage of weapons and equipment, but in terms of awakeners, they are a bit weaker than other bases in terms of numbers and strength."
" Therefore, we are more willing to pay more in exchange for City Lord Lin’s cooperation and alliance.”
Lin Feng nodded.
Sister Yurou is very smart, and she knows very well that even if she can rely on second-order insect eggs to spawn a group of early second-order awakened ones, she will still be better than other forces that rely on their own strength to fight against the Zerg. Those who are weak are much weaker.
There is a big gap between the two in terms of combat experience.
Especially during a 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 surpass 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 Xiao Xiao who try to threaten the group.
But Lin Feng did not have this free time and ran to the rear safety zone to participate 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.
Before the Zerg are aware of it, with the help of Zhe Yi, we must kill enough third-order Zerg as soon as possible 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 who are eyeing them. , although I also want to go and witness the grand scene of the United Steel Group with my own eyes, but I really can’t escape from the front line..."
"Well, as long as you buy enough second-level insect eggs, such as A dozen or dozens of pieces, I will send a second-order battle group in the name of protecting precious cargo..."
"Follow you back to the headquarters of the Steel Group, and take charge of the group before you fully master the second-order power. ”
"This way other forces can't find any faults."
Nowadays, a veteran second-level battle group has a leader who is perfect in the late second-level, and several veteran players in the mid-second level.
With such strength, it can completely suppress the high-end power of the entire safe zone.
Nature 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 provided 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 content of the cooperation, 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 seeing off the messenger arranged by Sister Yurou, Lin Feng sat on the swivel chair, turned around and faced the window, looking at the dark mountains on the other side of the river.
As he expected, not long after Han Yuxin sent Zhang Zihan away, under her recommendation, Ling Shuyan, the director of the Biological Research Institute on the other side of the river, arrived in the city lord's office in person and reported important matters to the city lord Lin Feng. .
When the door opened and she saw Lin Feng, Ling Shuyan was just slightly stunned. 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 reliance currently left on the Federation: the nuclear bomb code and the nuclear bomb itself.
But in fact, the specific departments responsible for implementing the decree are already fighting 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.
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 of Wucheng..."
" I conveyed the city lord's joint development proposal to him. 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 bring it. Part of the cell tissue of the Zombie Emperor's corpse. "
"According to the vice president, considering that the Jincheng base city is too close to the front line and is only more than a hundred kilometers away from the Zerg territory, in case something happens in the future. Something unexpected happened..."
"I hope to keep important experimental materials in advance."
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly and he sneered:
"No cell tissue from the Queen Mother's body can leave the Jincheng base, and it is simply outrageous that they want to use such a small price to achieve project cooperation!"
“Go back and tell them that the superpower cell gene bank mentioned last time will be shipped and shared first, and then I will consider whether to let go of the cell trade of the Queen Mother’s corpse.”
“Otherwise, We can completely study the high-level Zerg species alone and isolate them from the project."
Lin Feng's decisive refusal was within Ling Shuyan's expectation. If the Federal Research Institute does not provide tangible benefits, there is no way it can coax Lin Feng with just a few words.
This is also good news for Ling Shuyan.
Especially recently, we have encountered many obstacles and bottlenecks in the research of gene fusion and Superman projects. Perhaps we can get solutions to this problem through the research of third-order cells.
But in fact, the best research subject 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-level awakener.
At least until Ling Shuyan proves her loyalty and worth, it is difficult to put this matter on the agenda.
After Ling Shuyan left, Chen Yanyan met her face to face, entered the office, and immediately became concerned about the lack of progress in the Queen Mother’s research project:
“Won’t the Queen Mother’s body rot if we drag it on longer?”
Lin Feng stretched and shook his head:
"Not for the time being. It will have to wait at least more than ten days for the tissues in its body to consume its own energy before it becomes extremely weak and is infected by bacteria and fungi. Invasion."
"And don't worry about it. When the representatives of all forces see the body of the Queen with their own eyes tomorrow, we will not be the ones who are anxious."< br>
Chen Yanyan nodded as if she understood. It was probably the Federal Research Institute and was worried about other organizations coming to intervene.
After all, besides them, 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 doesn't mind starting joint research.
After experiencing the failure of yesterday's energy transformation and being pressed for time, Lin Feng hoped to take a shortcut and master the power of electromagnetism before entering the middle stage of the third level.
And this shortcut is naturally the collection and absorption of the superpower gene pool.
…………
The dinner ended late at night, and it was unusually quiet on the sparsely populated streets.
After the representatives of all forces returned to the hotel, they began to feel uneasy when faced with the separate invitation from the Iron and Steel United Group to meet with the Lord of Jincheng for discussion.
After all, according to what Deputy City Lord Han said frankly at the dinner...
In the Battle of Wucheng, they captured a total of more than 3,400 black-spine live insects, and there were hundreds of second-level insect eggs in reserve. There are less than fifty coins used for this transaction.
Calculated, the average power of each party can only be divided into four or five digits at most.
If one side takes half of the Iron and Steel United Group, then the balance of strength in the rear safety zone will change drastically. The spheres of influence of all parties will also be reshuffled.
This is not good news.
Especially the United Steel Group, because of some recent rebellious speeches, has a tendency to be jointly targeted.
In fact, the fundamental reason is that the logistics potential of a large organization like this that controls the entire military industry chain is extremely powerful.
Once it is allowed to grow, it will be a serious threat to all forces.
The powerful alliance of several chairman of the board is a danger signal in itself.
So it is safest to dismember the United Steel Group before it has mastered the power of a large number of awakened people.
Now it seems that the other party has to make up for this shortcoming...
Representatives of the other forces present secretly gathered in a certain suite in the middle of the night to discuss countermeasures.
Either force the steel group to reduce the purchase amount, or everyone pools resources to compete for quotas.
As for the last last resort...
After the Iron and Steel United Group bought most of the second-order insect eggs, they would rob the goods on the way back. After all, they were the only ones here. , has many second-level awakeners.
As for the Iron and Steel Group, there are only three late-stage first-order awakeners at most. Comparing their strength is simply not enough.
However, this choice was tacitly not mentioned by everyone during the discussion.
After all, when the time comes, everyone will rely on their own abilities, and no one can trust anyone except their own members.
The worried night was spent in discussion.
Early the next morning, Han Yuxin sent someone to drive over to take everyone to the square where the military parade was about to begin.
At this moment, in the large square in front of the train station, in addition to the corpse of the Queen Mother that had been placed there for a long time, there was also a dreadnought battleship parked quietly on the roadside.
Lin Feng was wearing a flying tiger armor and standing in front of the ship. Behind him was the huge insect corpse of the Zerg Mother Queen, which was twice as big as the Dreadnought Battleship, which could be called a steel behemoth.
Two giant beasts serve as the background, supporting the heavily armed Lin Feng. In the photo taken by the accompanying reporters, it has become the most classic photo that has been passed down throughout the world for generations to come.
In the late summer morning, the sun rises in the east before six o'clock.
Standing in front of the Dreadnought Battleship, Li Ran checked the time and held the Salvation Army's first military parade on time at 6:30.
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 forces 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 the uniform formations of several auxiliary troops walking across the square, closely followed was 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 regiments on the stage for inspection, with a total of more than 800 people. All of them are 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 governs a population of tens of millions, can only have a hundred or so first-order late-awakened people at most.
However, the Jincheng base controlled 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people, but it was able to give birth to such a large-scale force. It seems that this army under Lin Feng was fighting with blood and death in a fierce battle with the Zerg. Exercised.
Every soldier exudes murderous aura.
After the eight warrior phalanxes 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 worms. With five shotguns and twelve heavy machine guns, there is no need to worry about your safety when encountering a black spine worm tide. Surrounded by 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 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 person to appear is the upper-level power of the Salvation Army under Lin Feng, the second-level legion with all second-level awakenings!
There are a total of 260 combat members, divided into ten different battle groups. Except for the latest two battle group leaders, who have just entered the late stage of the second level, the other eight veteran battle group leaders are all Perfect strength in the late second stage.
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 so much that their blood surged and their hands trembled...
On the other hand, Lin Feng was sitting on a high building, quietly reviewing the group of second-order legion members and walking 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 death of countless second-level Zerg races. It is held tightly in the hands of the second-level members in full body armor and exudes A chilling 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 Genetic Regiment, the Guards Regiment, and the soldiers The 2nd Brigade and the 7th Fleet Chapter, follow me to conquer the Zerg!"
A total of 860 members boarded the chariot and followed Lin Feng's dreadnought battleship toward the southeast! Drive to Wucheng.
Waiting for the large army to leave, 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 can stop Lin Feng from killing him wantonly unless the Queen of Haicheng personally comes forward.
The invited members of the delegation looked at each other, 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.
In the end, 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 teams 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 big shot from the top of the federation 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 said in a low voice:
"Mr. Li, in addition to the second-order insect eggs, I have something else to ask for this time. , 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 federal capital that has been heavily besieged..."
< br>
"There are three million survivors and more than half a million soldiers inside. If we continue like this, they will all die in the worm's belly..."
Li Ran's pupils shrank sharply, thinking of the old captain who went north.
Qin Hu.
