Chapter 341: Phase 2, Zerg Probe

"What about the next stage?" Lin Feng asked immediately.

Although the Salvation Army currently has as many as 2,500 second-stage awakeners, among which there are nearly 500 second-stage late awakeners.

There are also more than 300 second-stage late awakeners who can participate in the transformation operation.

But each of them is the seed of the future third-stage awakeners, and each of them has the ability to become a pseudo-fourth-stage existence that fuses fourth-stage electric-driven cells and activates the power of the universe.

It is impossible to waste it here.

Moreover, the 30% fusion degree is too high for the second stage, and it can only last for one and a half minutes.

Although this also reflects from the side that the huge gap between the second stage and the third stage is like a chasm, blocking countless second-stage awakeners under the threshold of the third stage.

So although the current situation is serious, it is not yet time to seriously overdraw future power.

Hearing Lin Feng's refusal, Long nodded slightly and continued to talk about the situation in the next stage:

"Then it will be a lower level, 20% fusion degree."

"It can increase the physical strength by 200%, so that the physical strength of the late second-stage perfect awakener can be roughly equivalent to the middle level of the early third stage."

"It is not a big problem to deal with the ordinary newly hatched third-stage Zerg under the late-stage Queen."

"But if you want to face the third-stage king spinal worm that has mastered the power of artistic conception, it will be a bit difficult, but it is still no problem to escape."

"The consumption overdraft at this level is relatively small."

"After activation, it can be maintained for a short period of five minutes. During this period, as long as the activation state is turned off in time, it will not have much impact."

"It is turned on at a critical moment on the battlefield. The five-minute cosmic power blessing stage is also enough to complete a fatal blow."

"If the state is forced to continue, it will be about five minutes. It will consume 1% of the life potential. "

"So it can be overdrawn for about eight hours in total."

"Generally speaking, no third-level battle can last for more than an hour, so there is no need to worry. Before overdrawing all the life potential, they must have completed the task of killing the third-level Zerg and advancing to the third stage. "

"By then, the third-level cells in the body will be assimilated and absorbed, and there is a great probability that the artistic conception power evolved from the physical enhancement ability will be stimulated. "

"It may not be Zhou Di's energy control, but there are other special artistic conception abilities derived from the flesh."

"And the electric-driven cell biological colonization suit outside the body will also be slowly integrated into its body in the follow-up. "

"Become a pseudo-fourth-level enhanced warrior in the future."

"Just like Zhou Di and Liu Yi now."

Lin Feng nodded, and was very satisfied with the transformation effect and load level of this gear.

In this way, those who completed the third-level promotion first and did not awaken the special artistic conception power are the ordinary third-level awakeners who suffer the most.

Obviously, he was the strongest in the second-level battle group, but after being promoted to the third level, he suddenly became the bottom.

Not only did he have to do the dangerous work of the third level and face the most powerful third-level enemy, the Zerg Queen, but he also had to be inferior to others in the third level and was criticized.

No wonder Liu Yi was so excited after completing the transformation and fusion of the fourth-level electric drive cells.

He was no longer as sad as before.

And now the second-level awakeners of the second-level battle group are simply the beneficiaries of the late promotion.

They are also the technology that benefits from technological advancement.

Otherwise, before this, if you want to get the ability to face the third-level Zerg in the second stage, you can only undergo genetic transformation and become a genetic warrior with the blood of the spinal worm.

Although the combat power is indeed strong, whether it is the difficulty of obtaining the blessing of artistic conception power, such as the need to go through dangerous artistic conception trials, the risk of merging with the Land of the End, etc., or the subsequent troubles caused by integrating alien genes and becoming a hybrid...

These are the fundamental reasons why Lin Feng refused to expand the number of gene battle groups.

The 72 gene warriors were experimental products that were forced to be carried out under the background of technological limitations and strength.

This is a problem left over from the past.

This problem should not be allowed to continue.

And now, the fourth-order electric-driven cells extracted and fused through the human gene tree are the orthodox gene modification surgery of humans.

The cells can absorb and fuse each other's gene sequences without hindrance, and their electric energy expression fragments can be intercepted and spliced ​​into the original cell nucleus during transcription and replication to achieve absorption and utilization.

In this way, they can obtain the gift of genetic blood inheritance like the third-order queen of the Zerg and the third-order king spinal worm.

Of course, all this is the result of Lin Feng's efforts. With the help of Ling Yi, humans have achieved a combined attack on the fourth-order physique.

Lin Feng himself has a pseudo-fourth-order life form mother, He Yiwen, who is a spiritual system. As long as he is promoted to the peak of the late third stage, he can almost smoothly enter the fourth stage.

Now this blessing has been fed back to the Salvation Army and mankind itself.

"Let's choose this. Will the next stage only have 10% fusion?"

Ling nodded slightly:

"It's about the same. It's equivalent to an enhanced version of the physical enhancement ability. It is estimated that the impact on the late second-stage awakeners is only a little bit."

"It has to be kept on for 24 hours before it will overdraw all the vitality in the body."

"The side effects are very small, so it can be one of the options provided to the second-stage awakeners in the future."

"At the moment, it is not very helpful in the battle. After all, after the third-level Zerg hatches, it will undergo a second strengthening from the Zerg Queen. Basically, when it leaves the insect nest, it is already an early-stage intermediate-level life form."

"For those who are awakened in the late stage of the second level, their physical strength will be doubled. If they cannot kill the third level Zerg, they will have to run away after barely fighting one or two."

"After all, activating the power of the universe and controlling the fourth-level power is equivalent to adding a negative aura to oneself that continuously loses blood. The vitality itself has not been improved at all, and it is still being overdrawn..."

"And the third-order Zerg is a real third-order being. Even an ordinary third-order Zerg that does not have the power of artistic conception has three or four times the vitality of a second-order awakened person."

Lin Feng nodded:

"Okay, then let's tentatively decide on the second level of fusion, and at the same time, clearly inform you of the costs and consequences of using the power of the universe."

"No need to be secretive, just say that this is the path they will take in the next phase of the third phase."

"After considering the cost of early use, you should have a high enough awareness before undergoing surgical modification."

The cockroach nodded:

"Understand, in the end it's your choice."

"Being content with the status quo and not participating in the transformation, the risk of the subsequent battle is extremely high, and it is easy to face death or disability. Those who want to be promoted and gain the ability to kill the third-level Zerg will undergo the second level of third-level cell transformation ”

"But next, there is one more thing."

"It would be better if you did it."

Lin Feng frowned slightly:

"What's up?"

Zhiyi immediately said:

"The source of all the fourth-order cells now is your mid-order third-order peak colonial mecha, and Zhou Didu is only part of it."

"So in the future, these fourth-level cell-enhanced warriors, as well as those who grow into pseudo-fourth-level existences, will be affected by the cell genes in your body."

"Similar to the fourth-order Spine King, the orders given to the Spine King are like the fearless artistic conception."

"So this batch of Thunder Warriors' electric-driven cell-based light biological reproductive equipment needs to obtain the parts that are integrated into the fourth-order cells from the reproductive mecha."

"It activates the power of the universe smoothly and without any hindrance, releasing the power of electric cells."

Lin Feng hummed:

"Should we let the colonial mecha come over? How long will it take to extract it?"

Chi Yi thought for a while:

"It only takes a few hours, and it can be fully evaluated during the extraction process."

"This trip to the southeastern subcontinent lasted a total of three days and two nights. During this period, it should be the longest continuous battle between colonial mechas."

"Have you felt the impact of being assimilated to it?"

Hearing this question from Zhi Yi, Lin Feng recalled the previous continuous battles, especially the decapitation of the mid-level third-level queen.

Kill three mid-stage queens in a row.

In order to speed up the killing speed, Lin Feng almost integrated the cosmic power of the colonial mecha to 90% and ran it at full capacity.

The colonial mecha at that time almost turned into a golden lightning, and the golden armor with its shell emerged from the terrifying arc of golden light. The sizzling sound was like the arrival of death.

At that moment, Lin Feng really felt that he had entered the fourth stage, a level of power that was omnipotent, both in heaven and on earth.

That sense of trance even made him look down upon all living beings in the world, and he once forgot about the countdown to the continuous use of the power of the universe.

I almost forgot to turn off the fourth level state.

When he reacted, it turned out that the body surface cells had colonized the mucous membrane in the cockpit of the mecha and fused together.

The biological reproductive equipment that has entered the fourth level is devouring Lin Feng as the driver and command transmission center.

Fortunately, there are particles to control the artistic conception, which promptly isolates the fourth-order cells from invading the body.

When Lin Feng thought about it now, his memory was still fresh, and at the same time he was a little scared.

So after telling this situation, he added:

"You are right. The complete fourth-order cells are really scary. Except for my particle control, there is almost no one who can restrain and control them."

"We must complete the promotion to the late third level as soon as possible to obtain the qualifications for complete transformation."

Before the late stage of the third stage, the implanted mixed third stage electric drive cells accounted for 90% of the complete body of the breeding mecha, but the strength was significantly lower.

This is also the reason why Lin Feng has not been implanted yet.

On the one hand, a fusion degree of less than 90% would not bring much improvement to him who was in the middle of the third level.

After all, its own strength is lower than 60%.

The improvement brought by fourth-order cells is related to the difference between one's own strength and the strength of the cells.

It's not that 30% means an increase of 30%, but it depends on the actual gap between the two.

It's like a peak existence in the late third stage, almost one step away from the fourth stage, even if 90% of the fourth stage cells are integrated into him.

Lifting power is also minimal.

But if Lin Feng implants fourth-order cells with a 90% fusion level now, he will most likely be affected by them.

Regardless of the overdraft of vitality, the key point is that these genes, which are almost the same as real fourth-order cells, will actively improve themselves in the future, affecting and taking over the brain.

It's equivalent to if the physical body is too strong, it will control a person's self-thinking.

Chi Yi mentioned this to Lin Feng, so Lin Feng never implanted the fourth-order cells, and instead put them all into the colonial mecha.

Anyway, it is just a mass of cellular creation.

Without self-awareness, even the control center is a crystal structure and cannot be affected by fourth-order cells.

The full replacement and transformation also allows the colonization armor to exert the full combat power of the fourth-order cells, that is, to break the third-stage upper limit of 10,000 points.

In the future, Lin Feng will only provide his third-order strongmen with a transformation of 60% fusion degree of fourth-order cells.

Unless they are promoted to the late third-order, the complete version of human fourth-order cells will be sealed like Pandora's box.

Otherwise, once abused and spread...

The impact caused is no less than a biological nuclear bomb of genetic radiation!

Even the Zerg queen who is proficient in biotechnology and artistic conception will have to pay a very high price after forcibly using the divine domain.

Equivalent balance is one of the basic laws of the operation of this world.

All promotion channels and power enhancement are the utilization and optimization of this equivalent exchange method.

Just like the same release of heat, from the combustion and explosion of chemical energy to the direct conversion of matter into energy by nuclear fission and fusion, and the annihilation of antimatter in a higher situation.

The improvement of cognition and technology, the improvement of utilization methods, and the evolution of life are essentially no different.

It's just that one is more inclined to external technology exploration, while the other is to attribute technology to one's own power.

These words, spoken by Longyi, gave Lin Feng a different perspective on the universe and evolution.

When he called the colonization mecha, entered the laboratory of the research ship's ship cabin, and entered the translucent biological mother nest, a different feeling arose from Lin Feng's heart.

It seemed that the world suddenly became clear at this moment.

He also had a clearer understanding of the subsequent evolutionary path.

However, Lin Feng had another thing in front of him that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.

From Longyi, after understanding the transformation plan of the Thunder Warrior, making deployments and choices...

The highest command of the Salvation Army where Chen Yanyan was located also sent an urgent message.

Located at the junction of the state border between Minzhou and Yuezhou, the millions of insect nests on the opposite side could no longer hold back.

Just in the evening, after the dark period of sunset, the first attempt was launched.

According to the report from the front-line outposts

A mixed Zerg team of one hundred second-order Zergs crossed the isolation zone between the two sides and launched a surprise attack on a Salvation Army outpost.

Fortunately, a second-order battle group team of ten people and one hundred first-order combat soldiers in the outpost promptly rebuilt five flying wing vehicles and left the station.

Because it was a temporary observation post and did not have a defensive function, the team chose to give up and actively conduct guerrilla warfare.

After defeating most of the mixed Zerg team...

The remaining dozen second-order king spine insects fled back to Yuezhou in disgrace.

But when the second-order team was cleaning the battlefield, they found that the team's warrior hunter insect was wearing a white cloth.

There were crooked human words written on it.
