Chapter 137 Lin Feng's strength, responsibility, and the Thirteenth Division's visit

Led by the land cruiser, the fleet stopped at the entrance of the wormhole to welcome the sergeant who had returned safely.

Facing the battleship-shaped tank that was more than 20 meters long and 6 or 7 meters wide, Qin Hu and others were shocked and speechless, and stood there in a daze.

On the lines on both sides of the flaming hull, there were several 200mm caliber cannons, and even the shooting windows of the other eight tanks were equipped with multiple cannons of the same caliber, as well as countless heavy machine guns.

Roughly speaking, forty or fifty howitzers and hundreds of heavy machine guns, such firepower is comparable to an artillery battalion and an infantry regiment.

But in Qin Hu's opinion, the most important thing is the extremely strong mobility of this convoy, or land fleet.

Judging from the speed they just came, it should be no less than 100 yards, which is faster than the maximum burst speed of the second-order tiger spine worm. This means that Lin Feng's fleet can completely fight and move, take the initiative to attack, and directly eliminate all Zergs from a long distance.

Moreover, this is in the ruined city. If it is on the plains in the suburbs, the mobility will be stronger.

As long as there is sufficient ammunition and strong firepower...

With only the hundred people under Lin Feng, the expansion and invasion of the Zerg outside the second line of defense can be contained.

Thinking of this, Qin Hu realized that the city in ruins and the Zerg forbidden area filled with smoke were not caused by the human-Zerg war, but the fleet in front of him, which was only a hundred people.

It seems that there is no need to worry about the problem of weapons and ammunition.

No wonder Lin Feng dared to go deep into the underground Zerg nest with only one person, and no wonder they did not encounter any obstacles on the way back.

It turned out that those black-backed insects and tiger-backed insects had been suppressed by the fierce firepower on the surface, and could only hide in the Zerg nest and tremble.

The underground queen would let everyone go so easily, probably because she was overwhelmed by the situation on the surface.

At present, it is just a simple ground suppression. With the smooth return of Lin Feng and the others, the fleet can completely fire at the underground wormhole and seal the entire Zerg underground.

Without air circulation and soil accumulation, the red beetle can't dig far, let alone dig deep.

In the end, it can 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 towed to the surface into the front opening of the warship and store them in the storage space.

As for the complete insect corpse that Qin Hu wanted to take back, Lin Feng asked the chariot behind to put it on the roof and transport it back to the defense line.

The journey of seven or eight kilometers was quickly arrived.

During this period, Qin Hu took the wounded and boarded the chariot where Li Ran was. He also saw many old subordinates who survived the defeat of the first line of defense. They were basically on the list of missing and killed. I didn't expect that one day, I could meet Lin Feng again.

After some greetings, Qin Hu told Li Ran what he had seen and heard in the underground insect nest, and the fact that the defense line of Wucheng was difficult to defend.

Li Ran was his former personal guard, and now he was the pre-war commander of Lin Feng. Qin Hu needed to inform him of many new news so that he could prepare in advance.

After all, the entire southern region in the future would have to rely on the forces under Lin Feng.

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.

He did not care about the last time the Thirteenth Division was accidentally bombed because of the spy Cheng Zhan.

With such a powerful fleet, it is bound to reduce most of the defensive pressure for the defenders in the second line of defense.

Looking at the high wall fortress appearing in the distance, Qin Hu narrowed his eyes and told Li Ran to notify Lin Feng to stop here, and they would rush back on their own for the last few hundred meters.

Lin Feng, who received the request, immediately ordered the car to stop.

He jumped off the warship and came to Qin Hu and others who had taken down the insect corpse and were ready to leave.

If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the last time the two met in the near future, and it might be a farewell forever.

After all, in the defense of the federal capital, even if Lin Feng went there, he was not sure of winning, and even escaping the encirclement in the end depended on luck, and praying that he would not be blocked by the mother queen group.

But Lin Feng knew better that Qin Hu had made up his mind, and it was not a matter of persuading him a few more words that could dispel his determination to "send his death."

The federal capital must be defended, and fleeing without a fight means surrender. If it loses its legitimacy, the federation will exist in name only.

Even if the defense war fails in the end, it can delay the progress of the Zerg invasion on the entire northern front, thereby buying time for the migration and retreat of heavy industries in the rear states.

With the collapse of the first line of defense in Wucheng, all the survivors are now focused on the federal capital, hoping that the first defensive victory of mankind can be achieved there.

However, the capital city with a population of tens of millions is far from comparable to Wucheng, and it will naturally attract more Zerg queens to surround the capital city from all directions.

Just like the Taihu Lake sandwiched between Jincheng and Wucheng, it has also become the object of competition for many queens near Jiangnan to upgrade and attack as soon as possible.

So when waving goodbye to Qin Hu, Lin Feng specifically reminded:

"The queen in the third stage is not the end point that the Zerg can evolve to. They are targeting the capital city, and their target is the millions of survivors and awakeners in the city who have not yet moved."

"The Queen of Haicheng only broke through the first line of defense and entered the middle stage of the third stage in one fell swoop. She can hatch new second-stage Zerg and control more tiger-spine worms..."

"Once the capital city falls, the queen who wins in the end will grow to an incredible level. So, if you are still there at that time..."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Qin Hu's eyes widened. After taking a deep breath, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes, and then he interrupted with a hoarse voice:

"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 lead 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 Zerg hinterland...

A visit to the insect 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 continue to bombard it with electromagnetic cannons...

As long as there is a health bar, there is no fear 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, then all the connecting holes in the entire insect nest will be necessary.

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 tire of repairing 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 maintain 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 depression.

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.

Moreover, the appearance of the samurai hunting insects dispelled his idea of ​​acting alone.

That monster poses a greater threat to the awakened than the late second-order tiger spine insects. Lin Feng would rather face ten late second-order giant insects than be surrounded and hunted by ten warrior 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 those in the middle and late stages have not yet been dispatched by the Mother Queen.

Maybe it was just developed and hasn't evolved to that extent yet, but it doesn't exist now, which doesn't mean it won't 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 objects of destruction this time were no longer just the gathering places of the swarms of insects. All the entrances of the wormholes above the surface were bombarded by artillery fire and collapsed and were submerged one by one.

It was getting late now, and the sun had already set mostly in the west. The blue starry night, accompanied by the moon, gradually enveloped 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 cannon fire, the main fortress and city wall collapsed, just like the outpost where everyone was at, sinking into a deep pit, completely burying the entrance below.

There were a hundred main castles in total, 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.

What was thought to be a difficult battle 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 awakened human beings, so naturally she will not launch another army of insect waves and come to the surface to kill people.

It was a dusty journey back to the temporary camp.

Everyone had gone through a tense and exciting battle, or drag racing would be more appropriate. Although the body was a little tired at the moment, the spirit was extremely excited.

Especially in front of the defenders of the Thirteenth Division, his former teammates and veterans who looked down upon him, he was so brilliant that with just a fleet of 150 people, he could easily suppress the approaching swarm of insects...

If you tell me about this victory, who can believe it?

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. There is only one second level insect race, or one second level insect egg in the hands of the master chief, before the second level deep awakening.

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 that 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 shower 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.

Then he walked out of the bow and stood outside the battleship.

The soldiers who were having a bonfire party became quiet when they saw the sergeant.

Lin Feng coughed lightly, and then affirmed everyone's efforts today and successfully suppressed 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 late stage of the first level of perfection, and the rest of the members are almost there too."

"The next step is to activate the second-level deep awakening. The prerequisite for promotion is the same as when everyone obtains the first-level awakening. You need to kill a second-level Zerg."

"The most common one is the second-level tiger spine insect, a giant insect that can directly knock over heavy tanks. Even if you use a shotgun, 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 already encountered the Pulse War Scorpion and the Tank Flame Armor of the new second-order Zerg..."

"The Pulse War Scorpion will hide in the pits, but when faced with the tank's flame armor, it can't even break through its thick armor..."

"It is not an easy task for any first-order awakened person to kill a second-order Zerg alone."

"So the fastest way to advance is to obtain the second-level insect eggs from the Queen of Jiacheng."

"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 to receive a 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 moved forward. Entering the second stage of mid-stage awakening..."

"So, I will reward him with an extra insect egg."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the observation deck of a chariot, where Captain Shen Jie was sitting.

He is the most powerful awakening among the entire team at this moment, second only to the Master Chief...

But those envious gazes turned from Shen Jie's face to the girl beside him.

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 strong 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.

"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 continue to fight against the insect huddled underground."

"Don't forget that our goal is to kill and expel these alien bugs and save all humans!"

"Since the Zerg race is now being beaten behind closed doors, we must take the initiative and use the death of the second-order Zerg race to pave the way to kill the mother queen of the Zerg race!"

"I hope you will think it through before signing up."

"The second-level insect eggs are not just a reward, but also represent the responsibilities that second-level awakened ones should shoulder!"

As soon as he finished speaking, 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.

They also had sophisticated equipment, but 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.

And I heard that Captain Shen Jie was also seriously injured, and only relied on the energy awakened by upgrades to recover from his physical injuries. But when he walked out of the wormhole, his tattered armor had silently revealed 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 had gone 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.

He 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.
