Chapter 38 We need a victory!

Two hours ago.

Get off at the highway toll station.

After dealing with a chasing scout team, Qin Hu and his party waited for almost an hour.

Of the three teams and three vehicles that left as bait, only the team that took the middle road successfully attracted three black spine worms.

Under the fire suppression of a group of fifty people, he was quickly shot and killed, and in the car that escaped, only the captain of the Awakened One was left.

The other two people who followed him died tragically in the pursuit of black spine insects. The lower body of one of them was still hanging by the car window.

Now another hour has passed, and the team heading south also appears in the darkness, but this car is driving very slowly.

No Black Spine Scouts followed, but there were many Red Beetles still moving in their carriage.

The captain of the Awakener, who was sitting in the co-pilot, walked up to Qin Hu and spread his hands with an apology on his face:

"I wandered around for a long time without encountering a single black spine worm. I thought it was almost time, so I hurried back."

Qin Hu nodded and looked to the north, frowning slightly. That was where Lin Feng's RV disappeared.

Now there is only one car left, no news.

With this guy's ability, as long as he didn't run into two Black Spine scout teams at the same time, it would be very easy to escape.

The civilian awakened people in front of them may not understand it, but Qin Hu, who has fought on the front line, knows very well how powerful the awakened people with super bullets are.

Even a mediocre small pistol, in their hands, will become a heavy firepower like a machine gun.

With the support and cooperation of his teammates, he was able to deal with four or five black spine worms without any pressure at all, let alone escape.

Moreover, Lin Feng's true strength is far more than that. His superpower seems to be more versatile. He can also transform the back armor of the red beetle into a lightweight armor with excellent defense.

So with this guy here, there is no reason why it should be slower than the other two teams.

It was close to midnight at this time, and five or six hours had passed since everyone left the service area.

Including the first team that lured the insects back, almost an hour had passed by now. If we continued to wait, we would easily run into a large group of black spine insects that came to investigate the situation.

A civilian team like the fifty people in front of them, let alone dozens of black spine worms, would suffer heavy casualties even if they faced ten at the same time.

The risk of continued consumption will become higher and higher.

The first surviving awakened person to rush back, after recovering from his injuries in the dilapidated car, began to urge:

"I've been waiting for so long, I can't wait any longer!"

"If we go by what Second Lieutenant Qin said, there will be a large group of Black Spine Worms coming to check. How can we solve it with just a few people? Or do we die?"

"I guess Lin Feng and the others have been killed long ago."

"It's not that I look down on Mr. Lin, but what good is his thin-skinned RV? It will break into pieces with one bite from the black spine worm!"

The other members had long since thought of quitting, but Qin Hu had not spoken out, not wanting to offend the commander who could judge the completion of their missions. But the Awakened ones were different. They were given preferential treatment no matter where they were.

Especially the one who spoke out first was the first to complete the task of seduction. His achievement was already certain and he must be eager to go back.

With him taking the lead, the others followed suit.

Seeing that everyone had no intention of fighting, Qin Hu took a deep breath of cigarette, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Then just wait ten more minutes."

Ten minutes later, Qin Hu gave the order to retreat and got on the jeep to return to the service area.

Of course, he was not coerced by this rabble, but what they were worried about. If it really happened, it would be a heavy blow to the ordinary people who were fleeing, and to Wucheng, which had not been affected by the war in the rear.

Qin Hu couldn't bear this responsibility.

Whether it was civilian casualties or the fall of Wucheng, he would be sent to a military court.

If he could delay it as long as possible, Qin Hu's kindness to Lin Feng could be regarded as complete.

Anyway, there are three pairs of black spine worm giant jaws to testify that their containment and cover tasks have been successfully completed.

As the mission convoy left, the entire toll station fell into darkness like a wilderness suburb.

Not long after they left, a dazzling light flashed on the provincial highway, followed by a huge rumbling sound and a fierce gust of wind.

Unfortunately, the mission convoy was already more than ten kilometers away from the explosion point and could not witness the birth of the miracle.

However, several awakened people in the convoy still sensed the sound of the explosion, especially Qin Hu in the jeep. After escaping from the clutches of the insect tide from the outskirts of Haicheng, he was extremely sensitive to all loud sounds.

"Brake the brakes, pull over and wait!"

Qin Hu ordered the driver to step on the brakes and stop in the emergency lane on the right.

After getting off the car, he turned around and looked in the direction of the distant noise, lit a cigarette and waited quietly.

At this moment, the cell phone that had been able to receive the signal began to ring, breaking the silence.

Qin Hu took it out and saw the latest news, which made his hands tremble uncontrollably, and the cigarette between his fingers fell to the ground.

"Let's go back to the team and return to duty!"

…………

When Lin Feng and his party returned to the toll station, they saw a dark highway entrance and exit, indicating that the mission convoy had returned early.

Lin Feng shrugged:

"That's right. Let's keep walking. There's no need to hang around behind them."

Driving all the way back to the traffic jam, halfway through, the bolt gun in Lin Feng's hand also completed the upgrade to lv12:

"Blast gun lv12, red quality"

"Upgrade point: 18/4, damage 70, effective range 2 kilometers, remaining bullets 85/500"

"Additional attributes: bullet recovery 1/s, space magazine with 500 ammunition reserve"

This upgrade has finally increased the bullet recovery speed. Although one bullet per second cannot keep up with the rate of fire, it can greatly make up for the lack of explosive bombs.

The five hundred rounds of ammunition currently available are sufficient, more than enough to deal with a small group of Black Spine Insects, and the damage has been increased to seventy, and two shots can take away one.

Lin Feng did not hesitate and continued to upgrade the lv12 bolter for the next round. At the same time, he started his own synchronized upgrade to relieve the fatigue of the whole body after a night of fighting.

After eating some simple food, Lin Feng fell into a deep sleep with warmth all over his body.

However, within ten minutes, a loud shout suddenly came from the rear compartment. Liu Yueqi was seen holding her mobile phone, walking to the cab, and shouting slightly excitedly:

"Coming! Coming!"

"A national announcement has been made!"

Lin Feng woke up slowly and looked at the familiar face on the mobile phone screen held up by Liu Yueqi, giving a speech with a sad and solemn expression.

"Is there a signal?"

Liu Yueqi nodded:

"It just refreshed, but this is not a live broadcast. It was posted about half an hour ago."

Lin Feng yawned, somewhat lacking in interest.

He had access to Ding Chenghai, and he knew that the outcome of the war along the federal coast was a mess, and almost all the cities had fallen during the day...

Especially in Haicheng, the Thirteenth Lu Division that came to support was still surrounded by swarms of insects and was struggling.

If the results of this total defeat were announced, let alone the President of the Federation, even the King of Heaven would be infamy, and his status would be even more precarious.

However, what Lin Feng didn't expect was that during the live broadcast, a senior general suddenly delivered an important document.

After seeing the above content, the expression on the president's face gradually turned from worry to joy...

It turned out that the 13th Lu Division was besieged in Haicheng. It was successfully rescued and successfully merged with the state armed guard. It is currently retreating back to Wucheng to rest and prepare for war.

This is the Federation's only victory so far.

It is also a record of defeating the Zerg head-on!

Although it was a successful retreat, it was enough to prove that these invaders from alien planets could be defeated!

"Humanity will never surrender or surrender!"

"God bless the Federation, humanity will win!"

After some encouraging words, the scene turned to the press conference. The spokesperson introduced the current retreat, as well as the strengthening effects and super awakening during the battle with the Zerg.

After reading this, Lin Feng did not feel inspired or excited like Liu Yueqi did, but instead frowned slightly.

Combined with the time point of the video release, the turning point seemed to be right after he detonated the gasoline...

If you put it this way, isn't it his explosive art that allowed the Queen Mother to withdraw from the Black Spine Army on the front battlefield, and then rescue the Thirteenth Lu Division that was about to be besieged?

Although this was just Lin Feng's unfounded reverie, the more he thought about it, the more possible it became.

After all, the power of the explosion directly destroyed the combat effectiveness of hundreds of black spine insects. If they lose their spiritual connection with the mother queen...

From the Queen Mother's perspective, imagine that hundreds of Black Spine Worms appeared behind her and were wiped out at the same moment. As long as the Queen Mother was not stupid, she would definitely call back part of her strength to protect her own safety.

Lin Feng deduced step by step, and the RV had already arrived at the traffic jam. The crowd burst into cheers, and the entire team began to loosen up.

After being stuck in traffic all day, it is finally open to traffic.

Good news came one after another, and everyone smiled with joy. Only Lin Feng knew in his heart that the situation was far from getting better...

It's just that the Federation needs a victory.

Even if it is a victory that is not a victory.

At this moment, Lin Feng's cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrated as a reminder.

He took it out and saw that it was an unknown number. Lin Feng hesitated for a few seconds and pressed the answer button:

"Um?"

"Hello, Lin Feng? I'm Qin Hu, was it you who made that huge explosion in the suburbs?!"
