Chapter 211 Sister Yurou, energy form, full support

"Zhang Yurou?"

Lin Feng was stunned.

Two months apart feels like three years. Memories and images of his sister-in-law emerged in Lin Feng's mind bit by bit.

After sending her away at Haicheng University, the two only kept in touch on the phone. Later, Lin Feng was busy with the front-line insecticide upgrade and handed the mobile chat directly to Chen Yanyan.

When the Wucheng blocking battle was declared a failure with the breaking of the first line of defense, the Federation gave up the southern resistance strategy, and the 13th Division withdrew with the loss of logistics supplies, which also paralyzed the communication infrastructure of Jiangnan Prefecture.

Without network signals, Lin Feng lost the channel to contact Sister Yurou.

In addition to using special dedicated lines to contact fixed communication points in the rear and talk to Hu Fei, Lin Feng and others can only build communications within a small range of 100 kilometers.

For example, the 200-kilometer distance from Jincheng to Wucheng can barely make a call near the base station of the camp.

If you want to contact Sister Yu Rou, you have to assume a base station every ten kilometers within the more than 1,000 kilometers from the Northwest to Jiangnan Prefecture, and equip it with power supply facilities. This high cost is obviously impossible to achieve.

Now, through the visitors from the rear, Lin Feng has learned about Sister Yu Rou again. After a moment of surprise, he nodded and asked:

"How is Yu Rou doing in this Federal Steel United Group?"

Although Zhang Yu Rou is Lin Feng's first woman in the true sense, it does not mean that he will sacrifice the interests of the base to please her.

To become the lord of Jincheng Base and the leader of the Salvation Army, Lin Feng has too many aspects to consider.

Although the hard work of creating a base and forming an army is to assist in upgrading himself, this exchange also means that Lin Feng is responsible for their lives.

So in comparison, personal emotional needs have become a secondary choice.

Especially in the most difficult times, the person who accompanies Lin Feng is Chen Yanyan.

And people's hearts will mature with experience.

So when Chen Yanyan heard Lin Feng ask this question, she also understood the other party's attitude.

On the contrary, it is unlikely that the representatives from the Iron and Steel United Group want to use the relationship with Sister Yu Rou to obtain excess benefits beyond fair exchange.

But considering the familiarity between the two parties, it is okay to give some discounts while deepening cooperation.

This is the response Lin Feng chose to put forward.

Chen Yanyan, who understood this meaning, replied directly:

"Sister Yu Rou has become the executive president of the Iron and Steel United Group, and her secretary is among the representatives sent this time."

"According to their private conversation with Han Yuxin, they are willing to eat most of the 3,400 black-spine live worms. In addition to the weapons, ammunition and food we need, they will also provide two light weapons production lines, as well as thousands of tons of steel and matching gunpowder."

"As for heavy weapons, such as large-caliber mortars, howitzers, etc., they hope to exchange them with second-order worm eggs."

"At the same time, the president's secretary came to me and said that she wanted to meet with you in person. It is estimated that she brought some personal private words and individual cooperation from Sister Yu Rou to you."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Obviously, Zhang Yurou's current power far exceeds Lin Feng's expectations. Only when the two sides are equal in status can they have more cooperation and further contact.

But Lin Feng knows that her rise is also closely related to himself.

At the beginning of the outbreak of the apocalypse, Lin Feng provided the precious red black armor to Zhang Yurou. With her background in the steel and heavy industry, she was able to quickly complete the disassembly and analysis of the red shield armor, and then use the back armor material of the red beetle to mass-produce the red armor.

This kind of melee armor that can withstand the attack of the next-level black spine beetle is as valuable as the second-level insect eggs in Lin Feng's hands at the beginning of the apocalypse.

With this technology, it is enough for Zhang Yurou's Wuhan Iron and Steel Group to take the lead and have the right to speak, and then make a step-by-step leap.

So within half a month, the front-line soldiers began to equip a large number of red armor modified from the red shield armor.

However, now that Zhang Yurou is sitting on the president's throne of the Iron and Steel United Group, can she still give Lin Feng full support as promised at the beginning...

No one can give a definite answer to this.

But Lin Feng can be sure of one thing...

That is, both sides have their own needs, and it is easier to form a mutual trust transaction than other forces.

After listening to Chen Yanyan's introduction, Lin Feng nodded:

"Arrange her to meet in the evening. Today's dinner will proceed as planned, but I will still not show up, but let Liu Yi, Shen Jie and other regiment leaders show them the cutting-edge power of the Salvation Army."

"After the dinner, the matter of arranging this secretary to meet can be more open and aboveboard, giving representatives of other forces a sense of urgency."

"By the way, remember to keep the underground fixed line in operation, and ensure that the communication is normal in the next few days, so that they can pass on the situation here."

After speaking, Lin Feng walked to the living room kitchen in the living area of ​​the dreadnought battleship, took out a bottle of fresh organic nutrient solution from the freezer, and drank it in big gulps.

After entering the third stage, even if it is only the early stage of lv30, the physical energy consumption is several times more than that at the peak of the second stage.

Since Lin Feng completed his promotion, he only used a little energy in his body when he took out the golden neck bone from the Queen Mother's corpse. The rest of the time he basically remained in a dormant state to minimize physical energy consumption.

But even so, after two days and one night, Lin Feng's condition still declined. He could clearly feel the cells in his body craving and calling for energy.

The feeling of hunger urged him to continue to absorb energy.

However, Lin Feng had already eaten three meals today, and each meal was five times the amount of an ordinary person, equivalent to eating seven kilograms of rice.

But these foods were only enough to satisfy Lin Feng's most basic survival. Even if he moved his hands a little, the consumption was intense.

This made Lin Feng realize that although the small third-level life form had an absolute advantage in speed and flexibility...

But because of the lack of energy that could be stored, its sustained combat capability was low.

Judging from the energy storage space in his body, even if he drank a full belly of organic nutrient solution before entering the battle, he could only maintain the third-level strength for more than ten minutes at most.

And this is not the explosive state under the blessing of activating the artistic conception ability...

Once the energy consumption is unsustainable, the state will plummet and fall back to the second stage.

This performance was similar to the signs when he entered the underground of the first line of defense and fought side by side with Qin Hu's gene warrior team.

The first generation of gene warriors consumed too much energy after activating the assimilation state, which led to the need to replenish high-energy food in time after the battle, otherwise the hungry cells would begin to devour each other, making the body weaker and its own strength would continue to decline.

As the level rises, this defect will become more and more obvious until it seriously affects the normal performance of the third-level awakener.

The third-level insects in the Zerg, whether it is the queen or the king spine, basically have a huge body of more than 100 meters, especially the Zerg queen. If it does not need to speed up, she usually carries a huge biological mother nest as her own external energy reserve.

The biological mother nest not only charges and sustains its continuous battle, but also provides a large amount of life attribute bonus.

This is also the reason why the Zerg queen is very difficult to kill.

People like humans with small bodies and insufficient innate reserves can only max out the speed and burst points in their physique, while sacrificing life and defense attributes, and fall into a dangerous situation of high attack and low defense.

In addition, humans have just entered the era of evolutionary awakening, and the technology that supports it has not yet been fully developed. If they cannot burst out and kill high-level Zergs instantly, the chances of winning will be very slim.

Just as Lin Feng worried before, when the burst damage cannot kill the queen instantly, he will face the desperate situation that the damage he dealt is not as fast as the recovery of the Zerg queen.

There are two ways to solve this dilemma.

While drinking organic nutrient solution to replenish his body, Lin Feng thought about his own state.

The first one is the most direct and easiest to achieve, that is, to give up the current body size of humans and start to expand themselves like the Zerg as the level rises.

For example, Lin Feng is now more than 1.9 meters tall, and he only needs to grow to 3 meters to prolong the combat state and maintain the third-level strength output for more than half an hour.

If he grows to 4 or 5 meters tall, it can be extended to about an hour, so that when facing high-level Zergs, there will be sufficient strategic options.

But such a huge body will also increase the current food intake, which is an invisible burden for the Jincheng base that has just started.

Just like the Zerg under the command of the high-level queen, the fundamental driving force for their continuous expansion is to continue to feed and consume the queen, whose weight is extremely exaggerated.

If Lin Feng also chooses this path, he may expand to tens of meters in the future, but lose his own advantage of flexibility and agility.

And he will gradually separate from the normal human group and become a kind of deified alien.

In general, enlarging the body size can only improve the current predicament temporarily and limitedly.

It cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

In comparison, the other way is the energy conversion method that Long Yi once briefly mentioned, which is more feasible.

Although the transformation process is a bit difficult, this is also the process of life transformation from the third stage to the fourth stage, which is considered to be prepared in advance.

In fact, the fundamental reason for insufficient energy is not the problem of body capacity.

Like the Zerg, evolving a huge body is just a forced solution.

The real problem lies in biochemical energy, such as the extreme energy density of absorbed sugar, fat, and protein, which can only support life and evolve to the third stage.

In the future, if the energy absorption method is not changed, there is only one way to enlarge the body size.

However, even so, under the constraints of the planet's gravity, there is an upper limit to the size of the body.

This is actually a dead end.

Changing the form of basic energy in the body and preparing for overcoming gravity and entering space in the future is the only way for life to evolve.

Lin Feng then took out the lv30 ion laser cannon, switched back to the electromagnetic cannon mode, and then put his hand on the magnetic storm electric ball constrained in the barrel, trying to let the cell layer of the palm epidermis adapt to the current entering it and drive the cells to operate.

Lightning is the most violent way of energy release in the planet, and it is also the condensation form with the highest energy density except for nuclear explosions.

If the body can be driven by electric current and the plasma of plasma can be absorbed as a reserve energy source, Lin Feng can become the first physical force under the third level.

Using his own electromagnetic energy, the condensed magnetic field can be accelerated to several Mach speeds on the blue planet, overcoming gravity, flying and hiding, let alone.

However, this transformation process is slow and painful.

After a simple attempt, although he did not feel the paralysis of half his body like when he was at the peak of the second level, Lin Feng found that only one out of a hundred of his third-level cells could adapt to the electric shock.

Moreover, after they complete the transformation, they are still unable to reproduce themselves, fission and proliferate normally as before.

Without the power to drive it, it will soon self-decompose and die, making it difficult to form a stable organization.

This means that Lin Feng has to pay at least dozens of times of physical exertion before he can barely change the form of energy absorption and release in his body.

It seems that although the other path can completely solve the problem, it is not easy to reach the end.

After sighing, Lin Feng decided not to waste the precious energy in his body.

In just a short period of time during the transformation experiment, several kilograms of organic nutrient solution were consumed. If this was done, it would be impossible to complete the energy transformation in a short time without a base of hundreds or thousands of second-order insect eggs.

After all, it is one of the conditions for entering the fourth level from the third level.

I have just entered the third stage, so take your time.

Putting away the ion laser cannon, Lin Feng looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the dinner party was probably about to start.

At this time, a whistle sounded outside the battleship.

Lin Feng walked out and saw that it was Chen Yanyan who was driving a flying wing chariot to pick him up.

After boarding the chariot with a familiar layout, Chen Yanyan used her mental powers to control the chariot forward, while taking out a set of exquisitely crafted black military uniforms and handing them to Lin Feng:

"Wear it. The dignified Lord of the Golden City Base and the supreme leader of the Salvation Army cannot receive visitors while still wearing his armor."

Lin Feng looked at the ordinary sportswear on his body and took the customized military uniform from Chen Yanyan.

After changing into the back seat, Lin Feng admired his appearance through the rearview mirror.

This set of custom-made military uniforms has the solemn elements of Western royal nobles. The main color is black with a silver ribbon, creating a heroic and noble aura.

Coupled with the strength of Lin Feng's own third-level life form, his gaze was piercing, and the aura he exuded was as real as the real thing. Chen Yanyan next to him looked intoxicated and flushed with embarrassment.

"Ahem, how's it going? It's not bad..."

Lin Feng coughed twice, but before he could finish his words, the red lips of the woman stepped forward and blocked his mouth.

After a long time, when the chariot arrived at its destination, the base's government affairs center building, Chen Yanyan reluctantly left.

Lin Feng straightened his tie and patted his epaulettes:

"Let's go, I'll notify Han Yuxin and bring someone over."

Lin Feng nodded, got out of the car and walked towards the brightly lit high-rise building.

After nodding his head to the first-order peak warrior stationed at the gate, he took the elevator and headed to the city lord's office on the top floor.

Lin Feng sat at his desk, turned around and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window behind him, at the sporadic flickering lights of the night...

Soon, under the leadership of Han Yuxin, a woman with a figure and appearance somewhat similar to Zhang Yurou, wearing a black slim-fitting workplace uniform, with long round legs wrapped in black stockings, walked into the city lord's office on high heels.

Lin Feng leaned on the swivel chair, turned around slowly, looked at Sister Yurou's confidant secretary in front of him, and smiled.

When the other party saw the appearance of the city lord himself, he was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until Han Yuxin who reacted on the side coughed lightly that the slightly absent-minded woman was awakened.

She pushed up her glasses and spoke softly:

"Hello, City Master Lin, I am President Zhang's secretary and her cousin, Zhang Zihan."

Lin Feng hummed:

"Tell me, the important thing that Sister Yurou asked you to convey."

Zhang Zihan nodded and organized his words:

"The Federal Steel United Group is formed by an alliance between the three original steel ordnance groups and the four major coal companies in the northwest region. It once had a seven-person board of directors and currently supplies logistics weapons and materials for all federal war zones."

“But as the battle to defend the federal capital gradually became more and more obvious, the board of directors decided not to waste limited resources and invest in the meaningless bottomless pit of the battle to defend the federal capital.”

"However, this rejection also comes at a price, and it is quite large."

"So we need to be strong enough to protect ourselves before we bear the wrath of the defeated army."

Lin Feng kept smiling and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"We can make an exception and provide you with excess second-order insect eggs. As long as you come up with enough exchange chips, this is not a problem."

"It is equivalent to using the resources invested in the defense war to purchase second-level insect eggs to enhance one's own strength. This is a value-for-money transaction."

Zhang Zihan nodded and continued:

"That's right. We will not only provide you with various weapon production lines, but also include all ammunition consumption in the Salvation Army's fight against the Zerg..."

"With Sister Yurou's mediation, the board of directors voted to fully support you and the base forces under your command."

"In other words, we will conclude a covenant with you to advance and retreat together."

Lin Feng's expression gradually became serious, and he stared at the woman in front of him who only had the strength to awaken at the late stage of the first level, and replied in a deep voice:

"The price of doing this, what do I have to pay?"

Zhang Zihan was temporarily relieved in her heart. It was obvious that the man in front of her was smarter than her cousin said, and she didn't need to remind her of insinuating things.

Facing the man's gaze, Zhang Zihan felt that the air around her was slightly stagnant. She covered her high chest and took a deep breath slowly:

"Sister Yurou, I hope you can send troops directly there..."

"Or... you go there yourself."

"She has been waiting for you for a long time."
