Chapter 33: Diversionary Mission, Black-Spine Insect Scouting Team

The news that Lin Feng was a super bullet awakener had only been registered by the Recruitment Office two hours ago. Except for those within the administration, not many people knew about it.

The Enhancers and Awakeners who have been recruited a long time ago have been waiting for a long time.

They were hostile to Lin Feng and the others who had arrived late, so naturally they didn't have any favorable impressions.

Fortunately, Han Yuxin continued to help explain before the two parties came into contact:

"This crisis of the army being surrounded by insect swarms was discovered by Lin Feng and Mr. Lin. Not only did he escape the pursuit of the insect swarm, he also passed on important news so that we could all respond in advance."

"After a short rest, Mr. Lin immediately joined our containment and cover mission."

"At the same time, Mr. Lin is also a powerful awakener. His super powers..."

As she said that, Han Yuxin looked at Lin Feng, and when she saw him nodding, she continued to introduce:

"Mr. Lin's super power is a very rare and extremely powerful super bullet!"

"With him here, not only can our mission be successfully completed, but we can also minimize casualties."

After speaking, the unhappy expressions of many participants had changed, and the eyes they looked at Lin Feng gradually became different.

The resentment accumulated in the crowd gradually dissipated.

Lin Feng took a serious look at Han Yuxin at the door. Sure enough, the internal staff were quite capable and could resolve many conflicts with just a few words.

And one by one, Lin Feng changed from a latecomer who dragged everyone down to a key figure in saving everyone.

However, Lin Feng was not interested in this matter.

There are also people who don't like it.

The five awakened ones at the head of the crowd only took a few glances at Lin Feng, who was coming, and then turned around and urged:

"Okay, are we all here? Tell us what we need to do quickly, so we can set off as soon as possible."

Han Yuxin nodded, took the task details form from her colleague, and introduced:

"This time we are responsible for attacking the flanks. The newly emerged Queen Mother has low strength and only has more than 10,000 Black Spine subordinates. They are marching at high speed to the north, trying to intercept the 13th Lu Division before it withdraws from Haicheng North. They retreated and completed the encirclement with the main force."

"The specific rescue mission is left to the guards, and we only need to carry out diversion and harassment from the edge of the insect swarm's activity range, and try to eliminate the scout team sent by the insect swarm as much as possible to interfere with the mother queen's decision-making."

"Right now, we are responsible for the containment task at the end of the Jianghai Expressway. It will last about seven or eight hours. If a small group of insects insists on biting it, please retreat immediately."

"Specific positions will be arranged based on the completion of this mission and everyone's respective combat results."

"The detailed response strategy will be commanded by Second Lieutenant Qin."

After saying that, Han Yuxin handed the details sheet in her hand to Qin Hu who walked out of the hotel.

Lin Feng was a little surprised that Qin Hu did not return to the team, but stayed.

It was probably because of the successful completion of the rescue mission that he was given a preferential treatment by the superiors. He no longer had to fight on the front lines and could stay on the second line to receive a small mission.

This was indeed the case. Qin Hu took the mission letter, looked at it a few times, and immediately announced that he would set off in fifteen minutes.

Then he glanced at Lin Feng behind the crowd and got into a military jeep.

Everyone then dispersed and went back to their cars.

Lin Feng followed Qin Hu, walked to the jeep, leaned against the passenger window, took out the expensive cigarettes given by Hu Fei, opened them and handed them over:

"Smoke?"

When Qin Hu saw Lin Feng who had escaped from death together, he took one, lit it for himself, took a deep breath, looked at the young man, and said calmly:

"If you don't take a good rest, why are you here to join in the fun?"

"With your awakened superpower, you don't have to swim in this muddy water at all. Come with me, stay behind our lines and shoot. As for the treatment, it's up to you."

"Your abilities are actually much more than that. Those at the Frontline Research Institute will be very interested. They know how to make you stronger and tap your full potential."

Lin Feng shook his head, he liked freedom:

"I'm used to being lazy and can't stand strong restraint. Do you know what I was doing the day before the apocalypse broke out?"

"I battled wits with the company just to get the compensation so I could resign and go home and lie down for a few months."

"By the way, I haven't thanked Brother Qin properly for taking us out of Haicheng. I found two packs of good cigarettes on the way. I don't smoke, so I'll give them to you."

As he spoke, Lin Feng took out two more packs of famous cigarettes from his pocket and threw them on the car seat together with the ones he had just opened.

Anyway, I bought them from the villa for zero yuan.

"I hope everything goes well with this mission."

Qin Hu glanced at it and nodded towards Lin Feng:

"Well, just follow my instructions then."

After the greetings, Lin Feng said goodbye to Qin Hu and prepared to return to his car.

When passing by the hotel office, Han Yuxin stopped him specifically and handed out the entry rewards to him and Liu Yueqi first, and then brought two tactical helmets with night vision functions.

"This is for the driver. Every car has one. I thought you might need two."

Lin Feng nodded, thanked him, took the equipment, and put it on his head. With his right eye, he could see the image of the heat source scanned on the gray screen.

As for the entry reward, there are two boxes of cans totaling 120 cans and four barrels of 100 liters of gasoline for two people.

Lin Feng only took away the gasoline, and the cans were stored first. Hu Fei had arranged for the RV fuel tank to be full, and the four barrels of gasoline were used for other purposes.

Liu Yueqi's entry reward was arranged by Lin Feng, and she had to say goodbye to her aunt before departure.

As family members, Liu Ruojiao and Zhang Xuan can stay here, which makes their daily life much more convenient.

Before leaving, Liu Ruojiao gave many instructions and went to Lin Feng specifically:

"Mr. Lin, please take more care of Yue Qi. Don't let her get in trouble. This child likes to show off."

Lin Feng pressed the window and smiled:

"Don't worry, we will harass the guerrillas on the edge and won't go head-to-head with the insect tide. She is holding a knife and can at most deal with some fish that slip through the net."

"Okay, Teacher Liu. If you are hungry, go to the office staff and tell me your name. They will make arrangements."

After that, he waved goodbye.

At this time, Qin Hu glanced at his tactical watch. Once the time was up, he led everyone out of the service area, took the emergency lane, and returned to the combat zone.

Chen Yanyan stepped on the accelerator and followed the leaving team.

"I just counted, there are twenty-six vehicles in total, and the number of people participating in the mission is fifty-six. Including us and Second Lieutenant Qin, we are exactly sixty."

"But they are all rough-looking off-road vehicles. It seems like our RV is the only one..."

Lin Feng nodded and looked into the distance:

"What's wrong with the RV? The potential of this big guy is much more than that."

At this time, the sky has completely darkened, and night is obviously more beneficial to the insect swarm. Humans' vision is affected, and the effectiveness of firearms is greatly reduced, and they are easily forced into close combat.

So Han Yuxin gave him an extra night vision helmet to try his best to use his super powers to support him.

However, as an awakened person, Lin Feng can use his eagle eyes to see clearly moving objects hundreds of meters away, even in a dim environment at night, with the help of moonlight.

The effect of the night vision device is not that great, but it will affect his ability to use the shield form of the red armor shield.

So Lin Feng took off his helmet and handed it to Liu Yueqi who was sitting in the carriage. She needed this thing more than herself.

"Thank you, Feng..."

After taking the helmet, Liu Yueqi stopped talking.

Lin Feng waved his hand:

"Don't call me uncle. I'm not much older than you. Call me brother or captain. The three of us can be considered a team."

Liu Yueqi put on her helmet and nodded:

"Okay! Captain Lin."

Soon the mission convoy drove out of the traffic jam and entered the wide and deserted highway. The speed suddenly increased. After walking another fifty kilometers, they could get off the highway and enter the suburbs of Haicheng City.

And there, the newly emerged Mother Queen was gradually encroaching and occupying it, and with the Black Spine Army under its control, it quickly killed the city's northern suburbs and surrounded the Thirteenth Division of the Federal Army.

At this moment, the state armed guards have joined the battlefield to stop the insect swarm from the front. Civilian forces like Lin Feng are mainly responsible for harassing the fringe areas and preventing the insect swarm from invading and penetrating inland.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the expressway toll station.

Further ahead is the suburban residential area where Lin Feng came, and next to it is the ecological park.

It is only twenty kilometers away from the location of the mother worm, which is within the activity range of the black spine worm.

Qin Hu summoned six awakened ones, including Lin Feng, and about a dozen others who had been strengthened six times or above, and explained their respective tasks.

"After getting off the highway, there are three main roads in different directions. We need to send three vehicles to explore the situation ahead. If we encounter scattered red beetles, we will eliminate them on the spot. If we encounter black spine beetles..."

Speaking of this, Qin Hu added:

"Within the Queen Mother's influence, black spine worms are at least in teams of three, serving as a scout team to detect the situation. They are also responsible for patrolling the edges of the territory."

"If you encounter them, turn around, fire a few shots and run away. Don't be reluctant to fight. Attract them here. Let's focus fire and annihilate them together."

"As long as we kill two or three scout teams, the Queen Mother's attention will be attracted, and she will have to send hundreds of black spine worms. Our purpose of containment will be achieved, and we will turn around and run away."

"Do you understand?"

Qin Hu looked around at everyone, all bowed their heads, and then asked:

"Then the three vehicles that went deep into the war zone... volunteered, or did I take the initiative to arrange it?"

The leaders looked at each other, hesitant.

Not to mention the dangers of this kind of voluntary baiting mission, if you encounter more than one scout team, chased by as many as six black spine worms, and your vision is limited at night, you will make a mistake while driving away. The people in this car had absolutely no chance of surviving.

Going there is the end of a narrow escape.

Qin Hu frowned slightly and spoke more:

"Those who take the initiative will get 20% of the reward for this mission, and the rest can be divided equally."

The rewards promised in the afternoon included four managerial positions within the Sheriff's Department, as well as the award of the rank of Private.

As for other material rewards, they are far less attractive than positions of authority. After all, the current situation is that the higher the position, the greater the survival rate and the more comfortable life will be.

Qin Hu's promise at this moment means that whoever goes first, as long as he can attract an insect swarm scout team back, will have one of them in the management position.

Between promotion and risk, the most powerful awakened ones are already ready to make a move.

Lin Feng stood at the back. He was not very interested in these things. After all, Hu Fei's reward was more generous. As long as he could get along with those big shots, he would be able to climb up in the future. It would be as easy as riding a rocket.

What he cared about was the award at the back, the private rank.

Officers and non-commissioned officers are two promotion routes for the federal army. The former is responsible for theoretical command and has great powers, while the latter is responsible for specific tasks and front-line operations.

Now that sergeants are also open to awakened people, this may be a good path for Lin Feng.

The individual strength is strong, which is in line with the sergeant's thinking.

Even in the future, the status of the sergeant chief will be higher than those civilian generals.

But its granting and promotion require merit.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng slowly raised his head and saw Qin Hu staring at him.

Guessing Lin Feng's inner thoughts, Qin Hu shook his head gently and hinted to the other party quietly not to take this task.

After all, a rare and powerful awakener should not take risks at this time.

However, just when everyone fell into silence, the awakeners in front, after exchanging glances, one of them looked back and suddenly said:

"According to what Director Han said before, since Mr. Lin is so powerful, let him take the lead!"

"With him as an example, everyone can have confidence and take on the task, right?"

"That's right! If Mr. Lin doesn't dare to go, why should we go deep into the Zerg territory? Aren't our lives not lives?"

The others immediately echoed.

Qin Hu glanced at them. As awakened people, these people were not afraid of the lieutenant's scrutiny.

"Okay, then I'll take the lead."

"I'll lure the black-spine insect team!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng spoke slowly and agreed directly.

He walked out of the crowd and pointed to the northeast:

"The Queen Mother is heading north, so I'll choose this route, so that I can share some pressure for everyone."
