Chapter 209 Bigwigs, Second-order Insect Eggs, Replicas

Han Yuxin raised her lips slightly, looking at Hu Fei who was fawning in front of her, and simply said:

"Let's go, City Lord Lin has arranged a welcoming lunch for everyone..."

At the beginning of the apocalypse, she was just a small follower under Hu Fei. Now, more than two months have passed, and the strength and status of both parties have changed dramatically.

Both parties have grasped the business opportunities of the live insect business.

The only difference is that Han Yuxin positioned herself as an employee under Lin Feng, while Hu Fei, adhering to the principles of businessmen and his own selfishness, simply regarded Lin Feng as a trading partner for each other.

But the live insect market, which is in short supply, determines who can deliver a large number of live insects and who is the real leader.

Until now, Lin Feng not only has a large number of second-level insect eggs, but also has a large-scale second-level battle group.

Even he himself, according to rumors, has entered the third stage and become the only third-level awakener among the human survivors of the entire Blue Star...

After shaking hands with Han Yuxin, Hu Fei also realized that she had entered the second stage and became a powerful second-level awakener. Then he saw the grand welcoming team behind her and regretted it again.

At the beginning, he chose to leave because he obviously believed that even if the Federation was not good, it could still hold on for a few more years. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. A big country will not be so quickly undermined by the rising awakening forces in various places...

This was indeed the case in the first month. No matter how strong the first-level awakener was, he could not resist the concentrated fire of hot weapons and a large number of soldiers.

But no one expected that when the second-level awakener was born at the end of July, the superhuman power he showed would directly break the basic order that maintained the upper-level rule.

A fully armed second-level awakener can easily kill hundreds of first-level awakeners. No matter how many soldiers there are, they cannot pose an effective threat to him. Even the top leaders of the Federation can only adopt an attitude of wooing and showing goodwill.

Hu Fei, who was unable to provide a channel for second-level live worms, gradually lost his former transcendent status in this environment of order collapse.

So this time, it will be his last chance.

However, Han Yuxin did not give too much face to the team accompanying Hu Fei. Even though there were several second-level early awakeners among them, they were only the bottom of the upper class in the current Jincheng base and could not be on the stage at all.

After all, even the management level in the city responsible for logistics and government affairs has entered the second stage.

This also further illustrates the strength of the Jincheng base. Even the management positions that do not participate in the battle can give precious opportunities for second-level awakening.

Following Han Yuxin and his party, the various forces that came to negotiate entered the five-star hotel by the river with uncertain faces amid the warm welcome of the people at the dock.

The grand lunch was already ready.

In order to facilitate everyone's negotiations with the base management, the lunch adopted a buffet mode, and fish, shrimp and river fresh were naturally available in unlimited quantities.

In addition, there are chickens, ducks, geese and sheep that some survivors have looted from the fields of the northern towns. At present, under Betty's arrangement, a breeding system has been gradually established, which can stably supply a small amount of eggs and poultry meat.

Except for the rare river fish in the northwest, other meats are actually not attractive to the representatives of these forces. They are powerful and important in their respective bases, so they naturally have no shortage of food.

So when they saw the self-service lunch, they all showed disdain and contempt.

The whole lunch was hosted by Han Yuxin and Betty. Li Ran, who represented the military force, also attended the lunch and discussed the combat experience of blocking the Zerg on the front line with the awakened or former colleagues from the rear.

But from beginning to end, the protagonist of the banquet, the city lord of Jincheng Base, and the leader of the 13th Division did not show up.

I waited for a long time until the arrival of Chen Yanyan, the highest commander of the fleet, broke the awkward atmosphere of the venue.

After informing Han Yuxin and Betty that Lin Feng was busy, Han Yuxin slowly walked up to the podium and raised her glass to apologize:

"The city lord has some personal matters to deal with and cannot attend the luncheon for the time being, but as an apology, he specially sent someone to deliver the precious second-level nutrient solution for everyone to taste."

As she spoke, Chen Yanyan asked her subordinates to push the cart and walked into the hall of the venue.

There was a refrigerator on the cart for freezing and preservation.

Organic nutrient solution needs to be kept in a zero-degree environment to be preserved for a long time, otherwise its effect will deteriorate over time and slowly dissipate.

In full view of the public, the soldier opened the refrigerator and took out the fresh-keeping box inside.

It contained ten liters of milky white nutrient solution, weighing more than ten kilograms. Because of its high density, it did not freeze even if it was stored below zero.

As the buckle of the fuse box was opened, a faint fragrance wafted away.

Of course, ordinary people can't smell it. Only awakened people can smell this extremely light fragrance through their powerful olfactory organs and the instinctive desire of their cells.

Han Yuxin continued to introduce its effects:

"I believe everyone has heard a little about the second-level insect eggs. Not only can it allow the late-stage first-level awakened people to enter the second stage directly, but the organic nutrient solution contained in the eggs also has many other wonderful uses..."

"For example, drinking them can improve physical strength. Drinking a large amount of nutrient solution can also make up for the shortcomings of our human physique and become a true second-level awakener who has reached the standards of physical and mental breakthroughs!"

"Of course, additional effects such as rapid recovery and accelerated wound healing are also available."

"Now, let's experience the magic of this organic nutrient solution."

With that said, Han Yuxin took the lead in taking the goblet filled with organic nutrient solution from the attendant.

Before taking a sip, he did not forget to joke:

"By the way, although it is regarded as the juice of the Zerg, it is non-toxic and harmless. However, ordinary people should drink less. After all, it has a lot of stamina and can burn the stomach a bit."

Everyone laughed, and then looked at each other. Even though Han Yuxin had drank it, no one among them dared to be this guinea pig.

Until several second-level awakened people who also served as deputy city leaders of the base stepped forward to try and tasted the organic nutrient solution...

This opened up the awkward atmosphere on the scene.

However, as the second-level awakened people clapped their hands and applauded after finishing their drinks, all wanting another drink, the representatives of other forces in the accompanying group reacted belatedly and stepped forward one after another, scrambling to take the wine glasses.

It's a pity that the total is less than ten liters. Among the hundreds of representatives on the field, each person can only get one or two bites at most.

Looking at the big shots who were just having a taste, they had expressions of intoxication and endless aftertaste, and the desire in their eyes could not stop overflowing. There was no longer the pretentious and arrogant attitude before...

Han Yuxin and Betty shook their wine glasses, their smiling eyes filled with pride and disdain.

In the face of the most intuitive power...

Even high-ranking people will grovel, beg for mercy, and put down their worthless so-called majesty.

…………

On the other side, Lin Feng woke up as early as 11:30, and wanted to simply wash up, change into regular clothes, and go to attend the reception banquet held at noon.

After he finished cleaning up, he received a call from Han Yuxin. Hu Fei and representatives from various forces had also arrived at the dock.

Just as Lin Feng was leaving the Dreadnought Battleship, he encountered Chen Yanyan coming with Xie Yi.

After two days, this guy finally showed up.

Behind Chiyi, there are hundreds of giant red beetles, carrying white second-order insect eggs.

Looking at these cute bugs and beautiful eggs, Lin Feng smiled from the bottom of his heart.

In addition, he also has a lot of things about the Zerg Mother Queen, and wants to consult with Xieyi for verification.

So Lin Feng asked Chen Yanyan to go and inform Han Yuxin and others that he had something to do.

Compared with that group of insignificant banquet guests, things on Chiyi's side were obviously more important.

Following Lin Feng's instructions, Xie Yi controlled the red beetle swarm to place the second-order eggs in the tail compartment of the dreadnought battleship, and then called them back to the east of Jincheng, where most of them were migrating.

Lin Feng counted more than two hundred pieces.

The cockroach didn't hide anything, and waited until the red beetle was far away before explaining the situation:

"The Empress of Jiangbei's underground mother nest contains about 500 second-order eggs. I brought 250 of them. They are all newly hatched and will not metamorphose in a short period of time."

"Each one is plump, juicy and suitable for human consumption."

Lin Feng nodded, quite satisfied with Zhiyi's arrangement.

Two hundred and fifty second-order insect eggs, plus the more than 60 remaining in the Dreadnought Battleship's reserve space, there are a total of 300 eggs...

Enough to create a second-level army.

It is more than enough to trade weapons and meat with the rear base city.

After loading the second-order insect eggs, the two walked to the train station square not far away, and came to the body of the Queen Mother that was guarded at all levels.

"Have you taken back all the Zerg under the command of Mother Emperor Jiangbei?"

Lin Feng opened his mouth and mentioned the other party's intention to go there.

The cockroach nodded:

"Most of the controllable ones were recovered. During this period, we also used some means to kill the node mothers left in the mother nest, and then transferred all the remaining insect swarms to the Wucheng defense line."

"Actually, the size of the insect swarm it left behind is not very large. There are about 150 second-level tiger spine worms and more than 20,000 low-level black spine worms. Most of the red beetles have been transferred to digging tunnels. , so the number is even smaller, only about 10,000.”

"I walked around its territory. In fact, the area north of the Yangtze River is quite desolate and has very few biological resources. The farmland and countryside further north are also occupied by two other allied queens."

"So this is a doomed situation for Mother Queen Jiangbei. Only by breaking through to the middle stage of the third level as soon as possible can we seize a glimmer of hope among the powerful groups."

Lin Feng nodded and assessed the Zerg forces under the command of Chi Yi.

The insect swarm left behind by Jiangbei Mother Queen is either too much or too little. It is equivalent to nearly one-half the size of the insect swarm in the hands of the Mother Queen at the early stage of the third level.

Coupled with this power, it is enough for Zhiyi to have enough confidence to confront the Queen of Haicheng after advancing to the middle stage of the third level.

The two tigers fight each other and are evenly matched, so that the Jincheng base, which is 150 kilometers away from Taihu Lake, can have a period of respite.

At this moment, Chi Yi suddenly turned his head and lowered his voice:

"I arranged this part of the insect swarm in the west area of ​​Wucheng, outside the camp where you were stationed before."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, but quickly guessed the reason:

"Has your body entered the promotion stage?"

Apart from this, Lin Feng could not think of other reasons why Chi Yi wanted to take over and prevent the Queen of Haicheng from entering Taihu Lake.

Even though more than half of the Haicheng Queen was lost in the decisive battle at Wucheng, she was still strong enough to defeat any third-level early stage Queen.

So it is very risky for Chi Yi to do this.

Faced with Lin Feng's rhetorical question, Zhi Yi did not conceal his rebuttal, but stretched out two fingers and admitted directly:

"Two days."

"Long before the decisive battle, I had sufficient energy and biomass resources to enter the middle stage of the third level. It has been four days now. In two days, the body will be successfully promoted to the middle stage of the third level..."

Lin Feng frowned slightly, and gradually understood the real purpose of Zhiyi's words, and continued to ask:

"Do you want me to send troops again to protect you for two days?"

In Lin Feng's view, as long as the other party is not stupid, he will not disclose such extremely important and critical information.

If he had evil intentions, he could take advantage of the most vulnerable promotion period of Zhiyi himself, lead the entire city's soldiers to conduct a blanket search, and finally kill him.

Having already entered the third level, with the strengthened tiger-tooth chain sword and lv30 ion laser cannon, I can easily do this.

But just as Lin Feng guessed, since Zhi Yi dared to tell this, he obviously had other transaction conditions that were enough to impress Lin Feng:

"That's right, just two days."

"And in two days, in addition to being promoted to the mid-level third level, I will also be able to advance to the third level and become a third-level powerhouse like you..."

"Then my body will fulfill its promise and help you hold back the pace of expansion of the Queen of Haicheng, ensuring that your Jincheng base can get a period of rest."

"In addition, after becoming a third-level life form, I will follow you to other places in the future to hunt those early third-level queens who have not yet been promoted."

"I can use the spiritual world to figure out their general distribution and the strength of each..."

"With my secret help, you can smoothly travel through the underground mother nest of the Zerg. At the same time, during the battle, you will be immune to the mental invasion of the Mother Queen and complete their harvest."

After saying that, Zhiyi showed a half-smiling expression and looked at the man in front of him quietly, waiting for an answer.

After seeing Lin Feng deep in thought and making a decision, he climbed onto the huge insect body of the Queen Mother in front of him and looked into the distance.

Lin Feng stared at Zhi Yi's figure.

The other party's proposal sounds very tempting, and it is more feasible than formulating another plan to behead people on the surface.

After all, after this battle, the remaining queens around the world will be more cautious, especially those who have not yet advanced to the middle stage of the third level and have no ability to protect themselves, will definitely not risk raising their heads and entering the surface again.

If they were huddled in their underground brood, Lin Feng alone would have no way to defeat them, unless he led a second-order legion and traveled all over the world.

But doing so would be easily discovered by the Queen Mother, and the safety of the Jincheng base would not be guaranteed.

If Chrysalis Yi can continue to cooperate, two early stage three life forms are enough to deal with an early stage mother queen.

"It's okay, but there's one more thing..."

Lin Feng agreed, and when the insect turned around, he raised his finger and pointed at the sunken half of the insect corpse's head, and continued:

"All the third-level biological materials in the Zerg Queen that I kill in the future will belong to me."

"Including the Queen Mother's brain."

"Other than that, the second-order eggs in the hatching nest are still divided equally..."

Zhiyi did not hesitate at all, smiled and nodded:

"No problem, but the remaining ownerless insect swarms and the entire insect nest will be mine. The life energy in their bodies is enough for me to complete the promotion."

After reaching further cooperation, Lin Feng asked about the Zerg Mother Emperor.

For example, how to kill the opponent quickly and effectively without destroying the mother queen's brain, or how to hunt down the opponent and force them to escape from the underground and emerge from the surface.

So that the Dreadnaught can complete the harvest.

She could still give some advice on the former, but there was nothing she could do about the latter.

Lin Feng sighed. It seemed that if the lv29 dreadnought battleship wanted to complete the cross-level upgrade, it would probably take more than ten days for the third-level king spine worm to board the battlefield.

"Alright, I will send out several second-order battle groups to support Wu Chengna's blocking mission tomorrow morning."

"As for now, I have to sell the second-order insect eggs you brought me at a good price."

"How about you, are you interested in visiting?"

Chrysalis jumped down from the corpse of the Queen Mother and waved her hand:

"No, I have no interest in the transactions between you humans."

"But according to Chen Yanyan, do you want to conduct research on this corpse? The genetic code of third-order life forms contains the secret of the ethnic group's artistic conception. It is not easy to decipher. I wish you good luck!"

I saw her walking and talking, and finally waved:

"See you tomorrow. Now I have to go to Wucheng and take command personally."

Looking at the retreating figure of Chrysalis, Lin Feng put away the smile on his face and turned to look at the huge corpse beside him, hesitating whether to start research.

Zhiyi's warning is not unreasonable. Unintentionally releasing the pollution of the power of artistic conception can easily lead to catastrophe.

Especially in a base where survivors gather.

Not long after Zhiyi left, Chen Yanyan returned with the good news she got from the luncheon:

“That group of people are willing to pay high prices.”

"Including the heavy weapons we need, etc."

"But for the weapons production line you mentioned before, they were hesitant and unwilling to make promises."

Lin Feng put away his thoughts and sneered:

"Don't worry, let's give them a taste of the sweetness first."

"When the military parade starts tomorrow morning, they will know that they have no room to refuse..."

"Tell Han Yuxin and the others not to let go and wait for a while."

After finishing speaking, Lin Feng looked at the second-order eggs that had been transferred into the reserve space of the dreadnought battleship, and continued:

"Let Li Ran gather all the soldiers in the afternoon and make promotions and awards based on the previously compiled list of achievements."

"In front of the representatives of those forces, use a few second-level insect eggs directly."

Chen Yanyan nodded and went to inform the matter.

Afterwards, Lin Feng returned to the Dreadnought and took out his only golden equipment, the lv30 ion laser cannon.

Since he had already promised Long Yi, he would show the Queen Mother of Haicheng a little color tomorrow.

How could he miss it,

A replica of the ion laser cannon!

"lv29 electromagnetic cannon-replica"

"Materials required for synthesis: ..."
