Chapter 230: Setting up the defense line, reaping the harvest, and the coming of many emperors
As everyone walked out of the shelter, they saw the light of day again.
Insect swarms were summoned by the dead mother queen nearby, and they fled in all directions, frightened by the strong aura of Lin Feng and others.
"Send two people to inform the federal reconnaissance team that the Queen Mother in Yunxia Ridge has been solved, and let the capital city arrange a breakout as soon as possible."
"The remaining second-order battle groups will Set up camp on the ground and set up a good front in Yunxia Ridge!”
Lin Feng looked at the mountains hundreds of meters high behind him and realized that this was an excellent terrain for an ambush.
The reason why Yunxialing is designated as a natural forest park is that its several peaks and connected mountains are the highest area in the Taihang Mountains in the southwest.
This means that as long as you can hold the top of the mountain and occupy a favorable terrain, you can attack the invading enemy from a high position.
The Zerg here have already thoughtfully helped Lin Feng and others dig caves on the mountain peaks to hide their figures.
Obviously the Queen Mother of Yunxialing also knew that she would take advantage of the easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack terrain to defend the southwest...
When it is successfully promoted to the middle stage of the third level, it can rely on the territory it controls to stand out in the Northern Queen Contest and win the opportunity to enter the late third level.
It’s just that despite all its calculations, it never expected that there would be such a human force, relying on its own strong strength, ignoring the outer defense lines of the Zerg, breaking into the underground insect nest without any moral ethics, and killing the mother. In the nest...
Directly launch a decapitation operation against the high-level mother queen, the core of the Zerg command!
And it was successfully completed!
This resulted in all the elaborate arrangements made by the Queen Mother here becoming the wedding dress of the Salvation Army.
The steep terrain that was originally used to defend against humans and the Zerg was directly transformed into a ready-made position for Lin Feng to contain and attack the Zerg here.
According to the terrain map provided by the federal reconnaissance team, the terrain of Yunxia Ridge is rugged and is known as "strange", "special" and "dangerous". There are many straight stone pillars and cliffs hundreds of meters high standing in many places. , a natural military fortress that cannot be climbed.
The entire park has a terrain of high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The highest point is the main nest of the Zerg in the northwest, with an altitude of more than 2,100 meters, called Baicao Mountain.
The highest point of the southeastern mother nest where everyone is located is the main peak on the west side of the refuge, with an altitude of about 1,200 meters. Although it is not as high as the northwest, it is still more than enough to resist the invasion of the Zerg.
After all, even the high-level Queen Mother is only about a hundred meters tall, and the second-level peak tiger spine insect is only fifty meters high. If you want to break through the line on the top of the mountain, you still have to bear the ground. The bombardment of armored cannons and electromagnetic guns, and the steady climb up the mountain.
Therefore, after Lin Feng climbed to the top and observed the terrain, he arranged the second-level members of his three battle groups to stay here. With the complete set of orange quality equipment in their hands, even if there are only 60 people, they can easily suppress 100,000 people. Insect tide!
With a group of five people divided into twelve groups, they will guard the highest peaks of each mountain range. Relying on the narrow terrain entrance and the 20 kilometers of strategic depth behind them that can be retreated at any time, Yunxia Ridge will become a veritable choke point. meat machine.
Be the meat grinder of the attacking Zerg!
After setting up the blocking front, Lin Feng took the remaining two hundred soldiers, as well as a mixed second-order battle group composed of Liu Yi and other wounded, to the main nest on the northwest side of the Zerg in Yunxia Ridge location.
Liu Yueqi is also in the team.
Although she was extremely brave in the previous battle, the number of second-order tiger spine insects that came to support was limited, and in the end she only killed eight of them...
But among the defenders in the shelter, she had already surpassed many genetic warfare. The veteran of the regiment ranked first.
Now that she has just entered the middle stage of the second level, lv24, her strength is far superior to that of ordinary second-level awakeners, but she is still difficult to compete with the second-level peak Zerg and the high-level mother queen.
In addition, Liu Yi, Shen Jie and others will have to rest for a period of time before they can regain their fighting strength, so Liu Yueqi must enter the late second level as soon as possible to assist the frontline battle group and repel hundreds of thousands of enemies. The second-order insect swarm's attack.
Especially the insect swarm under the Queen Mother in the middle stage of the third level.
The reason why we were able to successfully break into the Zerg nest under Yunxia Ridge this time was mainly because the second-order Zerg species in the hands of the early third-order mother queen were too single.
Except for the spine worm lineage, the only remaining Zerg mother body is the clone of the Mother Queen, and the expensive second-order wind-winged worm.
As long as the chain sword is equipped with a targeted melee weapon, the tiger spine insect swarm can be easily defeated and the underground insect nest can be devastated.
The mother queens in the middle stage of the third level are different. After being promoted, their infinite reproduction conception has been further improved, and they can unlock and master more genetic modification technologies, including the cultivation of new second level Zerg.
It is conceivable that there would be a large number of warriors hunting insects on the battlefield, as well as long-range pulse war scorpions, and tank armors acting as human shields...
With just over two hundred warriors under Lin Feng, they really couldn't withstand the powerful swarm of insects under the Queen Mother in the middle stage of the third level.
Unless a fleet headed by a dreadnought battleship can be recruited, relying on mobility and super firepower, it can barely suppress the huge number of second-order insect swarms with a clear division of labor.
Among them, the most difficult ones to deal with are the second-order warrior insect hunters. They are genetic hybrids that are specialized based on human awakeners and are specially used to hunt second-order awakeners.
If the battle group loses its second-level perfect leader, it will easily be attacked by the elusive samurai insect hunters and defeated one by one.
That’s why Lin Feng needs to cultivate a group of new second-level late-stage perfect members as soon as possible to fill the gap in top combat power after the absence of Liu Yi, Shen Jie and others.
Liu Yueqi is one of the candidates, and of course those deputy captains of the late second-level battle group who are still in good condition are also among them.
While thinking about the follow-up personnel layout, the remaining team of the Salvation Army led by the biological reproductive equipment also arrived at the main nest of the Zerg in Yunxia Ridge in the southwest after traveling 20 kilometers.
He Lu’s guess was correct. This main nest building was built in the Baicao Mountain, the highest peak of Yunxia Ridge, which is more than 2,000 meters high. There are still several green-winged insects lurking on the top of the mountain. Monitor and patrol the Zerg territory quietly.
Although the mother queen of this group of insects has died, the insect groups near the main nest still maintain a certain order and have not fallen into a blind state without an owner.
Due to the long journey and weak constitution, the cockroach sat directly on the shoulder of the biological reproductive suit to save precious energy.
She also pulled Liu Yueqi along, and the two of them sat on the shoulders of the giant mecha.
Seeing the orderly main hive swarm at this moment, Zhiyi said lightly:
“It seems that there is indeed a node mother here, so that it can remain stable even after the death of the mother emperor. "
"The node mother can control the insect swarm within a radius of three or four kilometers and execute the established orders given to it by the mother queen, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the main nest."
"However. With the death of the mother queen, after all the second-level insect eggs are hatched, the node mothers in the main nest will gradually decline due to lack of successors.”
"Of course, if you are lucky and the order left by the Mother Queen contains the power of unlimited reproduction, it will directly consume the eggs and nutritional energy of the hatching mother's nest and spread the artistic conception after losing contact with the Mother Queen for a long time. Radiation, the only insect god who communicates with the Zerg race, the mother of birth, prays to drop the genetic sequence of the mother queen, and then breeds a new mother queen's cocoon after absorption."
"Strictly speaking, all the new mother queens will be born. , in fact, they are all part of the Mother of Life, one of His countless clones. As God's apostles, the Mother Queens absorbed new genes from foreign races during their expeditions to alien planets, and after their souls returned to the Kingdom of God, they could expand the divine power of the Insect God. ."
"So the main hatching nest that has lost the control of the mother queen is also an unstable factor and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Xiaoyi stood up slowly:
< br>"I'll just go there alone. You guys stay outside here and don't disturb the order of the insect swarm. As long as you control the node mother of the hatching mother nest, you can control the entire insect swarm here..."
< br>
"We have already lost too much in the queen's nest, so don't waste more biomass."
"Since we are going to fight a protracted war, we must save resources."
Lin Feng nodded in affirmation.
Having now entered the third stage, it is no problem for Chi Yi to deal with a late second stage mother body.
"Everyone is taking a break! Wait for Researcher Lin to finish dealing with these low-level insect swarms."
After Lin Feng gave the order, Xieyi jumped off the colonial mecha and quickly broke into the Zerg territory of the main nest.
After the nearby Zerg noticed it, they all came forward to test it and identify friends and foes. However, after feeling the aura and smell emanating from Chrysalis Yi, they immediately lowered their heads and retreated.
The life level of the Mother Queen is the absolute ruling class among the insect swarm. No insect race below the high level dares to challenge the Mother Queen's status.
Even if these insect swarms do not belong to the insect race under the command of Xieyi, without the order of the mother queen of their own race, they are inherently incapable of resisting due to their genetic level.
This is also why when Chiyi was only at the late second level of strength, he was able to go and collect the remnants of the insect swarm left behind in the mother nest of Jiangbei Mother Queen.
In the same way, Xia Yunling, which is now out of the control of the Queen Mother, will also become the prey of Zhiyi, and it will be faster and more convenient than last time. This is why Lin Feng agreed to her proposal.
Lead the Salvation Army to attack and kill the node mother. Not only will it destroy the incubation nest and waste biomass energy, it will also make the entire insect swarm become ownerless and flee in a hurry. At this time, even Zhi Yi could not control the entire situation and could only gather the second-order insect swarm in the center and part of the black spine insect swarm.
This is undoubtedly a huge waste.
So as long as Chiyi can seize control of the node mother within one or two hours, he can take down the entire main nest without any blood...
Lin Feng is naturally happy to sit back and enjoy the success.
At the same time, he also asked his soldiers to rest more in order to prepare for the subsequent blocking battle.
After all, there is only less than three hours left before the nearby Queen Mothers and their Zergs attack.
It still takes about fifteen minutes to rush to the Yunxia Ridge battlefield from the main nest in the northwest, so after counting the material harvest in the main nest, Lin Feng still needs to lead the combatable people below to rush to the front line as soon as possible , to support the three battle groups left behind.
At this moment, everyone is camped behind the slope of a nearby mountain range, waiting for the good news to come from the cockroach.
Many soldiers started talking about the mysterious background and true identity of this researcher, and several deputy captains of the regiment who were supporting the injured regiment leader had already made rough guesses about Chi Yi's situation.
Able to fight east and west with the leader and defeat several Queen Mothers, this so-called researcher in the team is probably as powerful as the leader Lin Feng.
And she also awakened an extremely rare spiritual power, which can control low-level insect swarms through mental control similar to the insect mother queen.
Now that the Mother Queen has been killed, Researcher Lin, who has a mysterious background, is likely to perform the miracle of controlling the green-winged insects to arrive at Jincheng Square again.
Time passes by, and in the midsummer at the end of August, the heat in the north is no worse than in the south.
People were lying in twos and threes under the shade of trees on the slopes with sparse vegetation, chewing grass wicks to relieve their fatigue.
Fortunately, an hour later, everyone saw the insects at the foot of the main peak Baicao Mountain from the hillside, and began to crawl back into the cave in groups and shrink up.
Soon a woman in a white dress sat on the back of a six-meter giant red beetle and slowly walked out of the main cave entrance.
Lin Feng immediately led his team members to respond.
Seeing the mecha approaching, Zhizhi stood up:
"Has taken over control of the main nest."
"The Mother Queen of Yunxialing has placed a quarter of the Zerg population here, approximately 10,000 Black Spine Worms, and more than a hundred second-order tigers There are also twenty to thirty thousand spine worms and red beetles."
"Under my command and control, they began to fully exploit the resources of the nearby trees and continue to fill the biomass energy of the hatching nest."
"The only regret is that I do not have the authority to hatch low-level Zerg species and cannot breed new low-level Zerg species, so the size of this swarm will become less and less as it is used."
"In the end All their life energy will be integrated into the incubation nest and turned into a logistics reserve for us here.”
Lin Feng nodded silently and followed Chrysalis into the wormhole. At a depth of two hundred meters underground, he entered the mother nest where the second-order insect eggs hatched in the main nest.
Different from the original underground incubation nest in Jiangbei, due to dry and hard geology and scarcity of underground water in the north, it is impossible to dig and expand as much as in the south of the Yangtze River.
The incubation nest here is only more than 500 meters wide. The fleshy luminous pyramid that hatches alone occupies less than half the space of the insect nest, so it seems a bit crowded.
Chip Yi stood next to Lin Feng, and under his witness, they counted the number of insect eggs together.
There are only 420 eggs in total. After excluding half of the mature eggs that have developed, there are still 210 eggs, which is an average of 105 per person.
A little less.
Chi Yi explained on the side:
“The north is different from the south. Natural resources here are quite scarce, and the population is concentrated in a few big cities. Naturally, it cannot be like the south. Moreover, the second-order eggs of the early third-order mother queen are of this size. Any more eggs will affect the mother queen's own development."
"The last time there were so many hatching nests in Jiangbei, it was the sea. The City Mother Emperor moved the incubation production line to Jiangbei and used the water and biological resources there to quickly expand the scale of the second-order Tiger Ridge Insects."
Lin Feng nodded, not doubting the truth of the explanation given by Xie Yi. Sex, because this hatching meat tower itself is much smaller than the one in Jiangbei, and there are only about 500 insect egg pits in total.
"Since the insect swarm here has been given to you, then leave the hatched eggs to me."
Two hundred and ten eggs have been formed, and the organic nutrient solution inside has been absorbed by the tiger spine. The worm larvae have completed their absorption and cannot extract useful resources.
Leaving this part to Liu Yueqi and others to kill and quickly improve their strength is the best solution.
At the incubation nest under Jiangbei, Lin Feng and his men did the same thing, so they quickly obtained eight late second-level awakened ones.
Now these two hundred and ten formed insect eggs will quickly give birth to a group of top second-level lv29 experts.
Lin Feng immediately called Liu Yueqi and others.
There are thirteen of them in total.
Except Liu Yueqi, the other twelve people have already entered the late stage of the second stage. They only need the life energy of a dozen or so second stage Zerg to reach the perfection of the late stage of the second stage.
So the second-level insect eggs are just enough, and there are still a few left to reward the outstanding captains among the two hundred soldiers.
After they finished killing them, Lin Feng took out the 105 second-order eggs he had received and gave them to Liu Yi, Chenjie and others for use.
According to what Zhiyi said, after they were exposed to the radiation from the divine realm, their vitality was severely overdrawn due to the massive distortion of their body tissues. They needed to absorb the pure life energy contained in the second-order eggs to repair their damaged potential.
This will not only speed up their recovery, but also reduce the sequelae caused by radiation distortion.
For example, mental pollution in conscious thinking.
Although this thing is invisible and intangible, it is more deadly than physical distortion, especially for group leaders like Liu Yi and others who have not yet mastered the power of artistic conception.
After the divine energy invades, it will leave a very deep nightmare shadow on their psychology.
When they start the artistic conception trial in the future, or condense their own artistic conception, some twisted consciousness will be formed in their spiritual world, which is extremely terrifying.
So now we need the life energy of the second-order insect eggs to repair and purify them.
After doing this, Lin Feng happened to be able to absorb the organic nutrient solution from the second-order eggs to replenish his own physical strength.
At the same time, he also replenishes the physical fitness of his soldiers.
When a pair of cockroaches entered the breeding mecha in the hatching nest and made detailed modifications and debugging...
With a flash of golden light in her eyes, she learned the news from the front line, and then looked solemnly at Lin Feng, who was lying on the ground resting aside:
"They are here, there are three early-stage third-order Queen Mothers, and one guarding the capital. The third-level mid-level empress from the south!”
“Ranked thirty-eight in the world, extremely powerful!”
At this moment, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, exuding a powerful aura! .
「Synchronized upgrade completed!」
"Lin Feng, lv31/39"
"Health..."
