Chapter 296: Supplies trapped, late night killing operation!

"Where are they now?"

Lin Feng immediately asked, and it was the manager of the Communications Department who came to report.

A former backbone of a communications technology company.

Under the gaze of all the top bosses, the latter swallowed, wiped his sweat and said:

"According to the news, the troops who went north to support are currently stranded in Hong County, north of Jincheng, where there is a Hong Lake comparable in size to Tai Lake, with a water area as large as a county seat."

"What arrived at the northern suburbs of Jincheng was a breakout rescue team sent by Captain Liu Yi. There were only five people in total."

"According to their report, there may be two in Honghu, the mid-level third-level queen mother, with the strength of the insect race under her command, with tens of thousands of second-level insect swarms..."

"And there are countless low-level insect swarms."

"They are now trapped in the north of the Huaihe River, which flows into Honghu Lake. They cannot safely cross the river and return. They can only retreat while fighting and stay north of the Huaihe River..."

"A super fleet with more fierce firepower is needed to provide fire suppression, clear the endless insect tide near the river, and cover the large forces crossing the river."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.

He knew that the second-order insect swarm alone would not be able to retain the team. The problem with this team of all second-order awakened people was that their team also had a large amount of transported supplies.

Including hundreds of second-order insect eggs, five extremely precious brains of the Queen Mother, and thick golden bones.

If there were only two hundred and eighty members, even the late third-level Queen Mother wouldn't be able to keep them. Once the tiger-armored membrane wings are opened, they can fly forty or fifty kilometers easily.

Mainly because of the materials weighing tens or hundreds of tons, which hindered their departure, they could only rely on the transport truck brigade to run on the highway and cross the bridge honestly.

Seeing Lin Feng's frown, Chen Yanyan stepped forward to explain:

"We have wiped out most of the Zerg in Jiangbei."

"Yangcheng, northeast of the Jincheng base, has been successfully recovered long ago. Not only was it taken back from the Zerg, but all the Zerg in the Golden Lake were driven out..."

"It's a pity that their mother escaped last time. Now it seems that she followed several rivers and entered Honghu Lake in the north."

At this time, Li Ran, who was standing aside, had also taken out a detailed map of Jiangnan Prefecture and marked the above locations for everyone.

As a native of Haicheng, Lin Feng also knows the terrain of Jiangnan.

In the past half month, as the Jincheng base sent troops north several times to kill and expel the Zerg there, the area with a radius of hundreds of miles near Jincheng has been cleared, and even Yangcheng to the north of the river has been included.

However, unfortunately, this move also drove the Zerg, which originally used Jin Lake as its main nest, to Hong Lake, which is more than ten kilometers away.

Honghu Lake is the second largest lake in the south of the Yangtze River, second only to Taihu Lake next to Wucheng, while Jinhu Lake is only slightly smaller than Honghu Lake in size, ranking third.

According to what Zhiyi said, these three great lakes can all give birth to a mother queen in the middle stage of the third stage. Among them, Taihu Lake, which has the richest biological resources, can even allow her body to directly enter the middle stage of perfection.

Otherwise, it would not have attracted the Queen of Haicheng to launch a crazy large-scale attack, even risking being bombarded by nuclear bombs and emptying all their wealth to launch successive insect wave offensives at all costs.

Now that Taihu Lake has stabilized, it is also relying on Xieyi itself to contain the pressure from Zhezhou in the south.

However, the rich biological resources in the northern part of Jiangnan Prefecture are enough to give birth to two mid-term female queens.

It also indirectly led to the emergence of the current dilemma.

However, a golden lake is not enough to support two mid-term queen queens to continue their development and evolution...

So when they found Shen Jie and others, they would never let go of this delicious meal.

What's more, Shen Jie and his team also transport and protect the most precious brain of the Queen Mother.

After grabbing these five brains, the Zerg Queen, who has just entered the middle stage, can directly reach the middle stage of perfection after absorbing it, and then sacrifices several third-level human beings in the team.

You can further complete the sacrificial ritual, summon the Hive Mind of the Divine Realm, and let the Mother of Life drop the complete Zerg gene sequence...

Promoted to the late third level in one fell swoop.

Become one of the candidates for the fourth-level insect king!

Such a temptation, if it weren't for the fact that Shen Jie's team also had a hydrogen bomb with an equivalent of 300,000 TNT as a deterrent...

Lin Feng estimated that they had already been chased and intercepted by the two mid-stage Queen Mothers, who had personally taken action and led an army of insect waves.

"The responsibility for this matter is not yours. Go and notify all the soldiers to gather and prepare for battle!"

Lin Feng replied to Chen Yanyan and immediately arranged the follow-up rescue mission:

"This operation happens to be close enough. The Jincheng base is only about fifty kilometers north. You can make a round trip within an hour. It can be used as a pre-war mobilization training!"

"Notice, twenty battle groups, the whole army is on standby, ten will be the vanguard, five will be in the rear, and the remaining five will be responsible for taking turns to conduct a real combat training!"

As Li Ran and Chen Yanyan were ordered to leave, Lin Feng looked at Betty and Han Yuxin on the other side:

"It's only over a hundred kilometers from the Jincheng base center to the battlefield this time. There shouldn't be any pressure on logistics supply, right?"

Betty and Han Yuxin looked at each other and nodded:

"No problem, we can still use waterways to transport supplies and weapons and equipment back and forth."

Lin Feng hummed:

"Go down and make preparations. The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass have to go first. The most important thing for the great expedition south is to keep up with the logistics!"

"After that, I will mobilize several second-level battle groups that take turns to protect the logistics transportation lines. You can also recruit first-level awakened ones from the Public Security Bureau to form a escort team."

After the two of them took the order and left, only Lin Feng and Zhiyi were left.

"Has your main body strength reached mid-term perfection?"

Lin Feng asked slowly. He knew very well that after reading and analyzing the human superpower gene tree, Chi Yi could completely independently cultivate a batch of samurai hunting insects, and then consume them to directly complete the sacrificial ceremony...

Thus promoted to the late third level.

After arriving in Jincheng, Zhiyi got in touch with the main body and learned about the relevant situation:

"Yes, it has entered the middle stage of perfection. All it needs now is the gene tree in our hands, or the flesh and blood tissue of several human third-level awakeners..."

"You will be able to successfully advance to the late third level."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly:

"What's your plan?"

Chi Yi shrugged:

"Although I am its clone, I actually have a sense of independence after being promoted to the third stage."

"It can't control my behavior remotely, so I don't have to worry about breeding tigers."

"Furthermore, before the birth of the late third-level Perfect Queen, there is no need to advance it to the later stage. In other words, as long as my spiritual power is stronger than my true body, then I, Zhiyi, am the true true body..."

"So next, I need the corpses of the Queen Mother that you killed, as well as the amethyst brains, to quickly increase my level and strength."

"Then control the main body to advance to the later stage, and try to delay the birth of the fourth-level insect king in this late-stage mother-emperor war!"

Lin Feng nodded, and Zhiyi said what he had been worried about for a long time.

The best way at the moment is to imprison the body of Chrysalis Yi in Taihu Lake, and wait until one day to exert its maximum effect.

Although it is necessary to be wary of others, as a cooperative partner, Lin Feng still said politely:

"Don't worry, since you are determined to save the Zerg race, which is regarded as a war machine, then the throne of the fourth-order Insect King must belong to you."

"It's just that the situation is unclear now, so don't use Hidden Dragon. When the time comes, I will naturally support you with all my strength. You will advance to the late third level first, and then defeat other competitors..."

"Finally ascend the throne and become the new fourth-level insect king!"

"At that time, we can continue to cooperate to save our tribes and civilizations on both sides."

The corner of the cockroach's mouth raised slightly:

"Thank you. This is just what I wanted."

"I have sent those three boxes to the biofactory next to the dock. After this matter is dealt with, I can continue the research on advanced cells. I will try to complete the qualified cultivation of electric-driven cells within a week, and first equip the mechas with clones. Replace it and see the effect.”

Lin Feng slowly stood up and walked to Xie Yishen:

"No problem. Let's go. Two mid-stage queens are enough for you to advance to the third-stage mid-stage, right?"

The cockroach nodded:

"One will do, and the other will be left to Miss Chen. She needs to improve her strength more than I do."

The two of them left the meeting hall one after the other.

By the time the two arrived at the square of the train station, tens of thousands of troops from Jincheng Base had already assembled.

Looking around, there are densely packed squares of heads lined up in neat rows.

A total of one thousand second-order battle group members and 30,000 first-order combat soldiers, fully armed and ready to go.

In addition, on the train track outside the square, there is also a dreadnought battleship and thirty flying wing chariots parked on the train track, carrying two hundred second-level awakened people.

This incident happened suddenly and it was an emergency deployment battle. Lin Feng planned to lead ten old battle groups equipped with replicas of armor-piercing cannons and ten thousand soldiers to participate in supporting the rescue and attack missions.

Their weapons include replicas of armor-piercing cannons and shotguns, which provide unlimited ammunition consumption and can save supplies.

As for the other ten second-level battle groups and 20,000 soldiers, they stayed at the Jincheng base to be on standby at any time for rotational training.

Although Lin Feng has now been promoted to the mid-level third level, driving a lv34 colonial mecha, he can easily kill the Zerg mother queen who is also in the mid-level third level...

But this time the battle takes place in the south of the Yangtze River. The Queen Mother can easily sneak into the ground six to seven hundred meters deep. Coupled with the cover of Honghu Lake, it is not as easy and convenient to kill them directly as it is in the north.

Especially nuclear bombs are not so easy to detonate at close range and seriously injure the Queen Mother.

At the same time, the moist insect nest structure, with a large amount of groundwater and lake water pouring into it, will also greatly reduce the high temperature burning of the nuclear explosion and the bombardment intensity of the shock wave.

Therefore, in the south, if the Zerg Mother Queen does not appear on the surface, nuclear bombs can only be used as a nuclear deterrent for defense, rather than a real threat in proactive attacks.

Fortunately, Lin Feng already had the strength to kill the Queen Mother in the mid-term, so he didn't have to worry about being helpless against the Queen Mother during underground combat.

At half past seven, the army was assembled and integrated.

Lin Feng stood on the dreadnought battleship, made a brief introduction and ordered the order, and then led the army to start heading north.

Relying on its speed advantage, the super fleet carried five members of the second-order battle group and set off first.

The fleet's speed reached 250 per hour, and it could reach the battlefield in Hongxian, a hundred kilometers away, in just twenty minutes.

Late at night, with no clouds in the sky, under the bright moonlight, the chariot with the torrent of steel drove across the desolate land.

Lin Feng and Zhiyi were both in the dreadnought battleship and saw the sound of gunfire coming from the other side of the river, as well as several bright blue-white magnetic bombs.

Ball lightnings turned into magnetic storm arcs and spread out, electrocuting and stunning the nearby insect swarms within a few hundred meters.

At this moment, Shen Jie and others were trapped in a small town by countless insect swarms on the other side of the Huai River five kilometers away. Relying on the remaining residential buildings as cover, they stubbornly fought off the insect swarm attacks again and again.

The mid-stage queen behind the insect swarm knew that it was impossible to kill this group of powerful human troops in a short time, so she planned to use the numerical advantage of the insect swarm to kill them all here.

At that time, they would either give up the insect eggs and queen brain in their hands, or be buried in the belly of the insects with them.

But obviously, they did not expect that the real person in charge of the Jincheng base, the city lord Lin Feng, had returned in full glory!

If they knew that Lin Feng had killed two mid-stage perfect queens in the north, and was promoted to the third-stage mid-stage, and had tens of thousands of awakened troops...

They would never make such a suicidal decision.

Not only would it expose its own existence, but it would also bring disaster to itself and become Lin Feng's next target.

At this moment, with the entire super fleet, dreadnought battleships and thirty tanks, driving into the battlefield five kilometers away...

Lined up in a row, forming a high wall of firepower.

At Chen Yanyan's command,

the artillery fire suddenly roared!

Hundreds of shells, with bright yellow burning trails of gunpowder, rushed towards the insect swarm ten miles away.

On the fertile farmland reclaimed by humans, blooming fireballs bloomed, and the shock waves released produced sonic boom effects, bang bang bang resounding throughout the battlefield.

Lin Feng then took Long Yi and flew into the air.

Long Yi released the perfect breath of the initial stage of the third order, and immediately dispersed the blue-winged insects and wind-winged insects hovering above his head.

After arriving at the town, Lin Feng saw the lv34 colonization armor in the sentinel guard mode, using the ion laser cannon installed on the left arm to attack the flying Zerg in the air.

Fortunately, it was left in the accompanying team. Otherwise, if a group of green-winged insects and wind-winged insects were to drop self-explosive insects from the air and bomb, it would be impossible to prevent them under the cover of night.

It would distract the team, which was already short of manpower.

Lin Feng walked forward, waved his hand, and put away the full-body armor mode of the golden armor on his body. The colonization mecha that received the order also opened the hatch, welcomed its owner, and entered the combat state.

With all the debugging completed and the reserve energy fully loaded, Lin Feng directly waved the six-winged membrane wings behind him and turned on the flight mode.

Flying to the sky above the forefront of the battlefield, cooperating with the 覉一 who entered the mother queen, dispelling the rolling tide of insects that kept coming up, and opening a gap for Shen Jie and others behind to cross the Huai River and pass safely.

Facing the impact of the insect tide and the heat wave of artillery fire...

The group stepped on the insect corpses piled up for several meters under their feet and came to the south of Hong County, where they successfully joined the super fleet.

The insect army behind them saw that the human army had escaped, and the consumption plan had already failed...

After receiving the order from the middle-stage queen behind them, they fled in all directions.

Retreating into Honghu Lake like a tide.

However, it is easy to come, but it is not so easy to leave!

After the transported materials were successfully separated from the battlefield, Lin Feng led Shen Jie and others to return to the north of Huaihe River.

A group of seven third-level strongmen, led hundreds of second-level combat group members, and killed towards Huaicheng, the largest city in the central part of Jiangnan Province on the east side of Honghu Lake!

And there, two middle-stage queens were quietly staying deep in the underground insect nest, discussing how to deal with...

This impending life-and-death crisis!
