Chapter 143 Taking over, second-level legion, two lure rods

Lin Feng's stern command...

Carrying the powerful momentum of a second-level peak awakener.

His own aura shocked everyone present.

So as soon as the voice fell, the captains and lieutenants in front of him hurried back to the defense line they were responsible for.

The edge of the farthest defense line was five kilometers away from the square. Fortunately, these grassroots commanders, the lowest awakening level was at the initial stage of the first level, and they could easily run at a speed of more than 30 meters per second. It only took six or seven minutes to run five kilometers back and forth.

However, considering that the grassroots soldiers were just enhanced people, including the time for announcement and convocation, Lin Feng waited for a full half an hour.

During this period, new recruits who had been recruited not long ago came to the square one after another.

The huge square was three hundred meters long and one hundred meters wide, which was more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Lin Feng expected that only two or three thousand people would come at most.

After all, envy is envy, but if they really leave the solid fortress defense line, there is no defense line in the wild, and face the attack of the Zerg tide with flesh and blood...

This fearless courage to face death is not something that everyone has.

In fact, since Lin Feng stepped into the second line of defense, the selection of the remaining 15,000 recruits has quietly begun.

He can't train everyone like a nanny.

With the improvement of the awakened level, their own strength gradually equals that of the Zerg, and even surpasses them in full armor. The real war no longer relies on numbers to fill the gap.

Cultivating a group of more than 100 second-level awakened people, or gene warriors, is far more profitable than hard work to pull these 15,000 people.

Lin Feng doesn't need so many combat units.

Besides, he doesn't have the energy and resources to waste on this group of people who are not related to him.

However, what Lin Feng didn't expect was...

Originally, it was estimated that there were less than 2,000 or 3,000 soldiers who volunteered to go out of the city to fight, but in the end, more than 5,000 people came.

Reaching one third of the total.

These soldiers, following their company commander, occupied half of the square in a huge crowd, and lined up in order from north to south, forming small square formations.

There were about a hundred of them, with a number of between forty and fifty.

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then signaled the senior leaders of the 13th Division to conduct the handover ceremony.

Although the others were indignant about Lin Feng's high-profile appearance and his disregard for those of them in high positions, the teacher could see that Lin Feng had his own views and plans for future wars.

And it was very personal.

In the past, personal charm was a double-edged sword, but now with his own strength as a guarantee, as long as Lin Feng could maintain his absolute strength, his position would be unshakable.

At the same time, the team under him would also become a tiger and wolf division that dared to fight and kill.

The future 13th Division would surely become a sharp sword among humans to fight back against the Zerg invasion, piercing directly into the heart of the enemy.

Looking at Lin Feng's tall and majestic figure, the teacher buckled the rank of colonel on his armored shoulders and saluted.

Lin Feng and the elite soldiers led by Li Ran behind him at the chariot all raised their heads and chests, waved and saluted with dignity.

After watching the senior leaders of the 13th Division leave...

Lin Feng immediately turned around and looked at the recruits who were left behind, mobilized the momentum of the second-level peak awakener, and issued a powerful announcement:

"I should have informed you yesterday that with the relocation of important industries in Jincheng, the Wucheng blocking war has completed its strategic mission..."

"But the 13th Division cannot take everyone away. The division headquarters is currently without logistics supply. If I am not there, today's lunch will be your last farewell meal."

"Then announce the dissolution and survive on your own."

"But now I, Lin Feng, have been invited to be your highest commander, and naturally I will be responsible for everything."

"Including weapons and equipment, food and medicine in logistics, Even the awakening of promotion!"

"And the basic condition of all this is absolute obedience to orders, including going out of the city to kill insects and facing the insect tide!"

"Your superiors should have made this clear, and now... I will give you another chance!"

"Listen carefully, those who are not afraid of death and are dedicated to killing insects can stay here! Those who just want to make a living can now return to the defense line to hide, or leave here and get out of Wucheng."

"Of course, if you make a decision now, you will never be blocked, and there is no so-called defection. Once you decide whether to go or stay..."

"If there are any changes in the future, don't blame my men for being ruthless!"

"Decide for yourself, everyone!"

As soon as the voice fell, the whole audience was silent.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a long time, no one made a decision to leave.

Especially seeing the eight bright black chariots near the Land Cruiser battleship in the front, and the neatly arranged black-armored soldiers holding large-caliber weapons...

The recruits were full of envy, and they wished they could join them directly and become a member of the brave enemy outside the city.

The scene of the Invincible Fleet bombing the Zerg yesterday and galloping freely in its territory is still vivid in our minds. The soldiers who rushed over were all mentally prepared and were extremely eager.

Seeing this, Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

These more than 5,000 soldiers do not need to all become second-level legions and enter the underground Zerg nest to fight. In the end, only the most courageous hundred or so people need to be selected.

But they can drive chariots and cooperate with land cruisers to fight against the Zerg invasion and deal with a large number of low-level Zerg swarms.

Only by cooperating with each other can the Zerg be truly contained.

When it comes to fighting out of the city, you can't escape the Zerg's pursuit and interception by relying on your legs. Although the Awakened Ones have strong explosive power, due to human physical defects and small stature, they are unable to engage in sustained high-intensity combat. After each fierce battle, they need to replenish their energy as soon as possible.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a corresponding number of tanks.

Five thousand people, counting down, at least two hundred vehicles...

A replica of a flying-wing chariot requires ten tons of fine steel to be synthesized.

Two thousand tons of fine steel are hard to find in Wucheng right now.

Only the heavy industrial zone in the south of Jincheng, and perhaps some fixed facilities that cannot be moved, can cut and collect thousands of tons of fine steel.

Fortunately, in terms of weapons, the Thirteenth Division was unable to take away all of it, so it left behind more than 90% of its equipment, including fuel, medicine and other supplies.

These are present in the rear area, especially weapons and equipment. After the military industry enters full-scale production, the production explosion may be faster than the consumption on the front line.

It consumes less than transporting it thousands of miles back to the rear.

For the time being, the fleet members will be rotated to get familiar with the operation of the tank. Once all the replicas are in place, the all-out war will begin.

And that was and would be the beginning of Lin Feng's first challenge to kill the Mother Queen and advance to a high level in his plan!

If you want to kill a high-level Queen Mother, it's not just as simple as going deep into the insect nest and killing it all the way to the end.

First, the low-level insect swarms on the periphery must be dealt with, which requires the containment and annihilation of the fleet. Secondly, the underground third-level and second-level insect nests must be delayed and blocked by the second-level legions born in the future...

Finally, Lin Feng, who was fully armed, launched a decapitation operation on the lowest level of the Zerg nest, killing the entire Zerg terminal controller, the high-level Mother Queen.

Of course, if we can use the genetic radiation skill activated by the last spiritual attribute breakthrough to successfully awaken Jiacheng's Queen Mother, and then remove her genetic seal, then the two can be completed more smoothly. The first kill against a high-level queen.

At this moment, five thousand soldiers were harvested at once. Lin Feng's thoughts were scattered, and he came back to his senses after Li Ran reported:

"Sir, the first batch of reserve corps members have been selected after registration and review!"

Lin Feng nodded. This is the second thing that needs to be completed today in front of all the soldiers participating in the battle.

The three fires for the new officer to take office have been burned. After establishing deterrence and self-prestige, it is natural to give these recruits who have just joined the group and have passed the psychological test...

A little sweetness, and more to hope for:

"Let them come up!"

Following Lin Feng's order, Li Ran called out the names of seven of the 160 fully armed soldiers behind him.

There are low-level soldiers and team captains among them, but without exception, they are all lv19 awakened people who have reached the late stage of the first level. At the same time, they have been selected through various fist and kick competitions to select the strong melee warriors!

The second-level awakened ones have extremely strong individual strength. It would be a waste if they were only used to fire cannons from a distance.

Lin Feng's second-level army plan is about to get on the right track as these people ascend to the high platform.

The first person on the list turned out to be Liu Yi, who had broken his leg last time. After drinking more than half a bottle of nutrient solution, his physical attributes were slightly higher than others.

Seeing the other party, Lin Feng smiled slightly, then clapped his hands. He saw the rear of the land cruiser behind him, and the closed hatch slowly opened, revealing fifteen three-meter-high, snow-white fleshy insect eggs.

Feeling the presence of a large amount of human presence nearby, these insect eggs kept squirming and struggling.

Lin Feng waved his hand and asked Li Ran to take out seven of them and place them in front of the seven people one by one.

During this period, facing the doubtful looks of more than 5,000 people in front of him, he continued to introduce:

"You may not know what this thing is, so now I will tell you personally..."

"This is the second-level insect egg of the Zerg race. It is the intermediate form of the low-level black spine insect that transforms into the second-level tiger spine insect."

"Having introduced this, some of you may have guessed it. Yes, as long as you kill this insect egg, you can directly enable a late-stage first-order awakener to start a deep awakening again and be promoted to become an extremely powerful person. The second-level awakener!”

"Promoted to the second level of awakening, your abilities will be further improved and you will become a veritable superman!"

"These insect eggs only exist in the insect nest two hundred meters underground. Only by entering it, passing through dangerous and complex wormholes, and killing the second-order insectoids that come to stop them can they be brought back."

"So I won't go into details about their preciousness."

"But today, it is not just a reward, but also represents a responsibility and obligation!"

"After becoming a second-level awakened person, while enjoying strong strength and status, you should also be clear about the mission that a human being should shoulder in this life-and-death war!"

"So, these soldiers need to become the most dangerous second-level guards in the team. Follow me deep into the insect nest to conquer the second-level insect race!"

"And now, you are about to witness with your own eyes the birth of these warriors!"

As soon as the words fell, the seven people on the stage raised their lv9 long knives and neatly eliminated the insect eggs that were still squirming in front of them.

After completion, Lin Feng asked them to take away the entire egg and drink the organic nutrient solution inside. Not only would they be able to successfully complete the second level of awakening, but they would also make up for the shortcomings of human physique, so that the physique value of only 150 points would exceed the upper limit of 200.

After doing all this, looking at the extremely envious expressions of the new recruits at his feet, the corners of Lin Feng's mouth slowly raised...

Li Ran was then asked to reorganize and reorganize the newly joined soldiers.

The grassroots commanders left by the teacher were basically Qin Hu's former subordinates. They were naturally familiar with Li Ran and did not show resistance to the reshuffle.

After the problem was solved, it was noon.

Lin Feng used the nearby university as a temporary base and transferred a group of soldiers to move the war preparedness canned food shipped back from Jincheng from the rear of the battleship.

Using the facilities of the university cafeteria, he made a fairly hearty lunch for 5,000 soldiers with individual rations.

The meat tasted slightly worse.

After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, he ordered these soldiers to return to the defense line and replace the 10,000 new recruits who were still in the defense line.

Now that the Haicheng Zerg has retreated to the eastern suburbs of the city, the second line of defense is not under much pressure for the time being.

But a certain amount of patrol and surveillance is still needed.

Wait until the remaining more than 10,000 people, led by the grassroots commanders, gather in the square.

Seeing that their formation was not in order and looked a bit messy, Lin Feng just said a few words briefly and handed it over to Li Ran and others to deal with.

For these recruits who dare not fight outside the city, they can only be sent to take charge of logistics.

If they want to leave, they will not be retained, but the front line is full of dangers and food is scarce in the rear.

There is no way to support them, only low-level enhanced people of level 3, 4 and 5, to cross thousands of kilometers and return to the safe area in the rear.

Moreover, even if they arrive successfully, they may not be better than now.

Of course, there are still many of them who just saw the recruitment advertisement and joined the 13th Division with enthusiasm. As a result, with the destruction of the first line of defense, they personally experienced the capriciousness and ruthlessness of the battlefield...

Some people have already begun to withdraw.

So there are so many people who choose to withdraw directly, leave the team, and stay away from the front line.

Finally, a total of 10,230 people were left, and they were appointed as logistics auxiliary soldiers in the 13th Division.

As the lowest-ranking soldiers, they no longer have to fight on the front line. Although they can have rations, they still have a lot of work to do.

In addition to counting and collecting the supplies and equipment left by the 13th Division...

At 10 o'clock in the afternoon after dinner, under the leadership of Li Ran, more than 8,000 people all rushed to the shore of Taihu Lake several kilometers behind them.

Li Ran picked up a loud speaker and shouted to the auxiliary soldiers together with other grassroots commanders:

"Do you see this Taihu Lake? Your task today is to catch at least 50 kilograms of fish per person, and it is best to be a big fish!"

"As for what method to use, it's up to you!"

"Whether it's platform fishing, raft fishing or lure fishing, or even directly casting nets and pulling nets, as long as you can catch the fish, it's not poisonous and can be eaten, you can do whatever you want!"

After that, more than 8,000 people surrounded the east bank of Taihu Lake and cheered!

Hunting is an instinctive desire engraved in human genes, especially in peacetime, only fishing and fishing have not been completely banned, which naturally gave birth to a large number of fishermen.

Now it is open hunting...

Immediately, many people set their sights on the abandoned electric vehicles in the city, on the roadside and in the community.

Although the batteries inside can't go far, they can store four or five degrees of electricity in the battery.

As the saying goes, two fishing rods can make a mountain of fish...

I released three degrees of electricity in the lake, and the Buddha gave me a hundred kilograms of fish.

However, these can only be used in the shallow water area near the shore. There are still dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of big fish lurking at a depth of seven or eight meters more than ten meters away...

At this time, the fishing team came on the scene.

After clearing out more than a dozen fishing tackle stores, the spectacular scene of thousands of people fishing was staged on the shore of Taihu Lake.

Until late at night, there were still many people who stayed at their posts.

Looking at the mountains of fish outside the canteen...

In just one afternoon, hundreds of tons of fresh fish were obtained.

Only thousands of people can be sent to deal with it as soon as possible, open the fish belly, remove the internal organs, apply salt to preserve and dry it.

The grilled fish, boiled fish, and braised fish prepared in the cafeteria have filled all the tables.

And this unlimited fish feast also made everyone rub their stomachs and burp, shouting that it was very satisfying.

Unfortunately, in the next half month, everyone will feel strong physical discomfort as long as they see fish products again...

But this is also the only source of high-quality protein.

…………

Late at night, Lin Feng called everyone together to report the situation.

In the afternoon, Chen Yanyan drove the Land Cruiser and led the fleet to attack directly outside the first line of defense, continuing to annihilate the swarm hidden in the wormhole. At the same time, she used shotguns to blow up and wipe out all the holes on the surface, thereby increasing the excavation workload of the Zerg.

Let them be tired of repairing the worm nest and have no energy to expand.

During this period, the 5,000 defenders in the second line of defense were also asked to board the chariots for rotation, or enter the East District of Wucheng, which had turned into ruins, to clean up the battlefield.

Solve some lone low-level red beetles, as well as the seriously injured black-spine beetles that are still alive, and collect scattered materials.

After taking over the remnants of the Thirteenth Division, the organizational structure has taken shape after Lin Feng's planning and layout.

In addition to the command system composed of senior members, other second-level awakeners will serve as elite second-level guards, responsible for following Lin Feng to fight inside the Zerg nest.

The second is the 5,000 defenders in the defense fortress, serving as second-class combat soldiers. At present, some of them follow Chen Yanyan's fleet to fight against the Zerg tide army, first raise their own awakening level, and at the same time reduce the Zerg's manpower.

The rest are responsible for cleaning the battlefield and collecting biological materials from the Zerg, especially the giant jaws of the black-spine worm.

This is closely related to the defensive equipment on their bodies, so naturally they will not neglect it.

The last 10,000 new recruits serve as auxiliaries and are responsible for providing logistical support.

Including collecting food, delivering supplies, etc.

This organizational structure is actually very similar to that of the Zerg.

But the first step to defeating powerful enemies is to learn their patterns, and then optimize this pattern to completely defeat the opponent.

At the end of the report, Li Ran mentioned the biggest problem currently facing him:

"The doctors in the field hospital behind the second line of defense have also been taken away... Although we have medicine now, there are only a few front-line doctors in urgent need."

"While cleaning the battlefield this afternoon, several soldiers were unfortunately attacked by a small group of lurking insects. Although their lives were safe in the end, their arms and legs were inevitably broken..."

"Even though the wound stopped bleeding, there was no corresponding surgeon after he was transported back. In the end, he was saved with organic nutrient solution."

"Otherwise, they will become disabled, lose their combat effectiveness, and can only serve as auxiliary soldiers in the future."

Lin Feng looked heavy and nodded:

"I will take care of this."

Five thousand soldiers may not be too much, but it may be too few. The main reason is that Lin Feng currently has no additional sources of soldiers. Every time he loses one, he will lose a seed for the future legion.

In the past, there were only about a hundred people in the team, and there were not many injured members. Even if there were injuries, they could rely on the second-order insect eggs to repair and heal themselves.

If today's army of tens of thousands of people only relied on organic nutrient solution, Lin Feng would not be so wealthy.

There is an urgent need to replenish medical personnel.

For a moment, Lin Feng thought of Liu Yueqi's aunt, the newly engaged young woman Liu Ruojiao. She is a professor of surgery at the university, and her family also comes from an academic family, so she must know many medical staff.

Or they could ask Ling Shuyan for help, but they are all technicians from the Biological Research Institute, and they would hand over the injured to them, and the ones they finally bring back might be deformed monsters with Zerg limbs...

It would be more reliable to let Han Yuxin first search for survivors related to the medical industry in Jincheng.

…………

at the same time……

Laoshan Military Restricted Area, Federal Institute of Biology.

Qin Hu has woken up from the dormant warehouse.

The atrophied muscle tissue on the body has recovered as before.

He looked at the woman beside him and asked helplessly:

"How long can I live?"

Ling Shuyan answered the question somewhat inappropriately:

"Are you sure about what I just asked? Is there really a genetic warrior in Lin Feng's team?"

Qin Hu frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy:

"Have I not confirmed it many times? Yes, there is indeed one, and he is still a student who escaped from Haicheng together. He is in a very bad condition. He uses genetic assimilation more than I do, and the Zerg characteristics that appear on him are already worse than mine. It covers the whole body, but at the same time it has a strong fighting ability..."

"One person single-handedly defeated three late-stage second-order tiger spine insects, and also killed two samurai hunting insects at the same time."

"Didn't he have the reconstructive surgery at your place?"

After confirming again and again, Ling Shuyan did not answer, but felt numb...

Somewhat absent-mindedly, he replied as he walked:

"Every time you overuse the assimilation of the genetic fluid, your remaining time will be directly reduced by half."

"A second-level awakened person can have a telomere metabolism lifespan of about 500 years. In your current state, you should only have less than fifty years left..."

Qin Hu frowned and his face was ashen. He stared at the woman's leaving back and shouted in a deep voice:

"When will this flaw be perfected? Aren't the new second-order Zerg brought back this time enough!?"

"In the capital defense battle, in my current state, I won't be able to survive for long. Do you still want to implement the plan of genetic warriors by force?!"

Ling Shuyan suddenly stopped, turned her head slightly, revealing the perfect side profile, her dark pupils flashed slightly behind the lenses, and replied lightly:

"Don't worry, everything is according to plan."

6k today, end of this month.

The next volume of Darkness Falls is almost over.
