Chapter 230: Deployment of Defense Lines, Harvest, Multiple Emperors Attack
As everyone walked out of the shelter, they saw the sun again.
The nearby insect swarms summoned by the dead queen fled in all directions, shocked by the powerful aura of Lin Feng and others.
"Send two people to inform the federal reconnaissance team that the queen mother of Yunxialing has been dealt with. Let the capital arrange a breakout as soon as possible."
"The rest of the second-level battle groups, camp on the spot and set up a battle line in Yunxialing!"
Lin Feng looked at the hundreds of meters high mountains behind him and realized that this was an excellent terrain for an ambush.
The reason why Yunxialing was designated as a natural forest park is that its peaks and connected mountains belong to the highest area in the Taihang Mountains in the southwest.
This means that as long as you can hold the top of the mountain and occupy a favorable terrain, you can strike the invading enemy from a high position.
And the Zerg here have helped Lin Feng and others to dig out holes on the mountain peaks to hide their figures.
Obviously, the Queen Mother of Yunxialing also knew that by taking advantage of the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain here, she could defend the southwest...
When it successfully advances to the middle stage of the third stage, it will be able to rely on the territory it controls to stand out in the Northern Queen Mother Competition and win the opportunity to enter the late stage of the third stage.
However, it had never expected that there would be such a human force that relied on its own strong strength, ignored the outer defense line of the Zerg, and directly broke into the underground Zerg nest without martial ethics, and killed its way into the mother nest...
Directly launched a decapitation operation against the Zerg's command core, the high-level Queen Mother!
And it was successfully completed!
This resulted in the Queen Mother's careful arrangements here all becoming the wedding dress of the Salvation Army.
The rugged terrain originally used to resist humans and guard against the Zerg directly turned into a ready-made position for Lin Feng to contain and block and attack the Zerg here.
According to the topographic map provided by the federal reconnaissance team, the terrain of Yunxialing is rugged and is known for its "strange", "special" and "dangerous" features. There are many straight stone pillars and cliffs hundreds of meters high, which are natural military fortresses and cannot be climbed.
The entire park is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The highest point is the main nest of the Zerg in the northwest, with an altitude of more than 2,100 meters, named Baicao Mountain.
The highest point of the southeast nest where everyone is located is the main peak on the west side of the shelter, with an altitude of about 1,200 meters. Although it is not as high as the northwest, it is still more than enough to resist the invasion of the Zerg.
After all, even the high-level queen mother is only about 100 meters in size, and the second-level peak tiger spine worm is only 50 meters in height. If you want to break through the front line on the top of the mountain, you still have to climb the mountain honestly under the bombardment of armor-piercing guns and electromagnetic guns.
So after Lin Feng climbed to the top and observed the terrain, he arranged the second-level members of his three regiments to stay here. With the complete set of orange-quality equipment in their hands, even with only sixty people, they can easily suppress the 100,000 Zerg tide!
With five people in a group, divided into twelve groups, guarding the highest peaks of each mountain range, relying on the narrow terrain entrance and the 20-kilometer strategic depth behind them that can be withdrawn at any time, Yunxialing will become a veritable meat grinder.
As a meat grinder for the attacking Zerg!
After arranging the blocking line, Lin Feng took the remaining 200 soldiers and a mixed second-level regiment composed of wounded soldiers such as Liu Yi to the main nest of the Yunxialing Zerg on the northwest side.
Liu Yueqi was also in the team.
Although she was extremely brave in the previous battle, the number of second-level tiger spine worms supporting the attack was limited, and she only killed eight of them in the end...
But among the defenders in the shelter, she has surpassed many veterans in the gene regiments and ranked first.
Now that she has just entered the second-stage mid-stage lv24, although her strength is far beyond that of ordinary second-stage awakeners, she is still difficult to compete with the second-stage peak Zerg and high-level queen mother.
In addition, Liu Yi, Shen Jie and others need to rest for a while before they can recover their combat power, so Liu Yueqi must enter the second-stage late stage as soon as possible to assist the front-line battle group and repel the sudden attack of hundreds of second-stage Zerg swarms.
Especially the Zerg swarms under the command of the third-stage mid-stage queen mother.
The reason why they were able to successfully break into the Zerg mother nest underground in Yunxialing this time was mainly because the second-stage Zerg species in the hands of the third-stage early stage queen mother were too single.
In addition to the spine worm lineage, there are only the Zerg mother body of the queen mother's clone and the expensive second-stage wind wing worm.
As long as the chain saw sword melee weapon is equipped in a targeted manner, the tiger spine worm swarm can be easily defeated and the underground worm nest can be crushed.
The Queen Mother of the third stage is different. After the promotion, their infinite reproduction state of mind is further improved, unlocking and mastering more genetic modification technologies, including the cultivation of new second-stage Zerg.
It can be imagined that if there are more warrior hunters, long-range pulse war scorpions, and tank flame armors acting as meat shields on the battlefield...
With the more than 200 warriors under Lin Feng, they really can't stand up to the powerful swarm of insects under the command of the third-stage mid-stage Queen Mother.
Unless a fleet led by a dreadnought can be brought in, relying on mobility and super firepower, it can barely suppress the huge number of second-stage Zergs with clear division of labor.
Among them, the most difficult to deal with are the second-stage warrior hunters. They are genetic hybrids specialized from human awakeners, specially used to hunt second-stage awakeners.
If the regiment loses the second-stage perfect leader to calm the scene, it is easy to be targeted and attacked by the strange warrior hunters and defeated one by one.
That's why Lin Feng needs to cultivate a group of new second-stage late-stage perfect members as soon as possible to fill the top combat power gap left by Liu Yi, Shen Jie and others.
Liu Yueqi is one of the candidates, and of course the deputy commanders of the second-stage late-stage battle groups who are still in good condition are also on the list.
While thinking about the follow-up personnel layout, the remaining team of the Salvation Army led by the biological reproductive equipment also arrived at the main nest of the Zerg in Yunxia Ridge in the southwest after traveling 20 kilometers.
He Lu's guess was correct. This main nest was built on the highest peak of Yunxia Ridge, the Baicao Mountain, which is more than 2,000 meters high. There were several green-winged insects lurking on the top of the mountain, quietly monitoring and patrolling. Zerg territory.
Although the mother queen of this group of bugs has died, the bugs near the main nest still maintain a certain order and have not fallen into a blind state without an owner.
Because of the long journey and weak constitution, the cockroach sat directly on the biological reproductive suit's shoulder to save precious energy.
She also pulled Liu Yueqi along, and the two of them sat on the shoulders of the giant mecha.
At this moment, seeing the orderly main nest insect group, Zhiyi said lightly:
"It seems that there is indeed a node mother body here, so that it can remain stable even after the death of the mother emperor."
"The node mother can control the insect swarm within a radius of three or four kilometers and execute the established orders given by the mother queen to ensure the normal operation of the main nest."
"However, with the death of the mother queen, after all the second-order insect eggs have been hatched, the node mothers in the main nest will gradually decline due to lack of successors."
"Of course, if you are lucky and the order left by the Mother Queen contains the power of unlimited reproduction, it will directly consume the eggs and nutritional energy of the hatching mother's nest and spread the artistic conception after losing contact with the Mother Queen for a long time. Radiation, the only insect god who communicates with the Zerg race, the Mother of Birth, prays that the genetic sequence of the Mother Queen can be dropped, and after absorption, a new Mother Queen’s cocoon can be born.”
"Strictly speaking, all the new mother queens are actually part of the birth mother, one of His countless clones. As God's apostles, the mother queens absorbed new genes from foreign races during their battles on alien planets, and their souls returned to the Kingdom of God. Then you can expand the insect god’s divine power capacity.”
"So the main hatching nest that has lost the control of the queen is also an unstable factor and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."
Saying that, Zhiyi stood up slowly:
"I'll just go there alone. You guys stay outside here and don't disturb the order of the insect swarm. As long as you control the node mother of the hatching mother nest, you can control the entire insect swarm here..."
"We have already lost too much in the queen's nest, so don't waste more biomass."
“Since we are going to fight a protracted war, we must save resources.”
Lin Feng nodded in affirmation.
Now that it has entered the third stage, it is no problem to deal with a mother body that is in the late second stage.
"Everyone is taking a break! Wait for Researcher Lin to finish dealing with these low-level insect swarms."
After Lin Feng gave the order, Xieyi jumped off the colonial mecha and quickly broke into the Zerg territory of the main nest.
After the nearby Zerg noticed it, they all came forward to test it and identify friends and foes. However, after feeling the aura and smell emanating from Chrysalis Yi, they immediately lowered their heads and retreated.
The life level of the Queen Mother is the absolute ruling class among the insect swarm. No insect race below the high level dares to challenge the Queen Mother's status.
Even though these insect swarms do not belong to the insect race under the command of Xieyi, without the order of the mother queen of their own race, they are inherently incapable of resisting due to their genetic level.
This is also why when Zhiyi was only at the late second level of strength, he was able to go and collect the remnants of the insect swarm left behind by Jiangbei Mother Queen in the mother nest.
In the same way, Xia Yunling, which is now out of the control of the Queen Mother, will also become the prey of Zhiyi, and it will be faster and more convenient than last time.
This is why Lin Feng agreed to her proposal.
Lead the Salvation Army to attack and kill the mother node. Not only will it destroy the hatching nest and waste biomass energy, it will also make the entire insect swarm fall into a state of ownerlessness. When they flee in a hurry, even the insect cannot control the entire situation. It can only gather the second-order insect swarm in the center and part of the black spine insect swarm.
This is undoubtedly a huge waste.
So as long as Chi Yi can seize control of the node mother within one or two hours, he can take down the entire main nest without any blood...
Lin Feng is naturally happy to sit back and enjoy the success.
At the same time, he also asked his soldiers to rest more in order to prepare for the subsequent blocking battle.
After all, there was only less than three hours left before the nearby Queen Mothers and the Zerg under their command would attack.
It still takes about fifteen minutes to rush to the Yunxia Ridge battlefield from the main nest in the northwest, so after counting the material harvest in the main nest, Lin Feng still needs to lead the combatable people below to rush to the front line as soon as possible to support the three left behind. Warband.
At this moment, everyone was camped behind the slopes of nearby mountains, waiting for the good news to come from the cockroach.
Many soldiers started talking about the mysterious background and true identity of this researcher, and several deputy captains of the regiment who were supporting the injured regiment leader had already made rough guesses about Chi Yi's situation.
Able to fight in various battles with the leader and defeat several Queen Mothers, this so-called researcher in the team is probably as powerful as the leader Lin Feng.
Moreover, she also awakened an extremely rare spiritual power, which allowed her to control low-level insect swarms through mental manipulation similar to that of the Insect Mother Queen.
Now that the Queen Mother has been killed, Researcher Lin, who has a mysterious background, is likely to perform the miracle of controlling the green-winged insects to reach Jincheng Square again.
Time passed by, and in the midsummer at the end of August, the heat in the north was no worse than in the south.
People were lying in twos and threes under the shade of trees on the slopes with sparse vegetation, chewing grass wicks to relieve their fatigue.
Fortunately, an hour later, everyone saw the insects at the foot of the main peak, Baicao Mountain, from the hillside. They began to crawl back into the cave in groups and huddle up.
Soon a woman in a white dress sat on the back of a six-meter giant red beetle and slowly walked out of the main cave entrance.
Lin Feng immediately led his team members to respond.
Seeing the colonial mecha approaching, Xie stood up and said:
"Having taken over control of the main nest."
"The Mother Queen of Yunxia Ridge has placed a quarter of the Zerg population here. There are about 10,000 black spine worms, more than 100 second-order tiger spine worms, and there are also 20,000 to 30,000 red beetles."
"Under my command and control, they began to fully exploit the nearby tree resources and continue to fill the biomass energy of the hatching nest."
"The only regret is that I do not have the authority to hatch low-level Zerg species and cannot breed new low-level Zerg species, so the size of this insect swarm will become less and less as it is used."
"Eventually all their life energy will be integrated into the incubation nest and turned into a logistical reserve for us here."
Lin Feng nodded silently and followed Chrysalis into the wormhole. At a depth of two hundred meters underground, he entered the mother nest where the second-order insect eggs hatched in the main nest.
Different from the original underground hatching nest in Jiangbei, the north is unable to excavate and expand as much as in the south due to dry and hard geology and scarcity of underground water.
The incubation nest here is only more than 500 meters wide. The fleshy luminous pyramid that hatches alone occupies less than half the space of the insect nest, so it seems a bit crowded.
Chrysalis stood next to Lin Feng, and under his witness, they counted the number of insect eggs together.
There are only 420 eggs in total. After excluding half of the mature eggs that have developed, there are still 210 eggs, which is an average of 105 per person.
A little less.
Chiyi explained from the side:
"The north is different from the south. The natural resources here are quite scarce, and the population is concentrated in a few big cities. Naturally, it cannot be like that in the south. Moreover, the second-order insect eggs of the early third-order mother emperor are of this size, and any more will be It will affect the mother’s own development.”
"The last time there were so many hatching nests in Jiangbei, it was Haicheng Queen who moved the hatching production line to Jiangbei and used the water and biological resources there to quickly expand the scale of the second-order tiger spine insects."
Lin Feng nodded, not doubting the authenticity of the explanation given by Xie Yi, because the hatching meat tower itself was much smaller than the one in Jiangbei, and there were only about 500 insect egg pits in total.
"Since the insect swarm here has been given to you, the eggs that hatched and formed on it can be left to me."
Two hundred and ten eggs have been formed, and the organic nutrient solution inside has been absorbed by the tiger spine larvae, making it impossible to extract useful resources.
Let Liu Yueqi and others kill this part and quickly increase their strength, which is the best solution.
Lin Feng and his men did the same thing at the incubation nest under Jiangbei, so they quickly obtained eight late second-level awakened ones.
And now these two hundred and ten mature insect eggs will quickly give birth to a group of top second-level lv29 experts.
Lin Feng immediately called Liu Yueqi and others.
There are thirteen of them in total.
Except for Liu Yueqi, the other twelve people have already entered the late stage of the second stage. They only need the life energy of a dozen or so second stage Zerg to reach the perfection of the late stage of the second stage.
Therefore, the second-level insect eggs are just enough, and there are still a few left to reward the outstanding captains among the two hundred soldiers.
After they finished killing them, Lin Feng took out his share of 105 second-level insect eggs and gave them to Liu Yi, Chenjie and others for use.
According to what Zhiyi said, after they were exposed to radiation from the divine realm, their vitality was severely overdrawn due to the massive distortion of their body tissues. They needed to absorb the pure life energy contained in the second-order eggs to repair their damaged potential.
This will not only speed up their recovery, but also reduce the sequelae caused by radiation distortion.
For example, mental pollution in conscious thinking.
Although this thing is invisible and intangible, it is more deadly than physical distortion, especially for group leaders like Liu Yi and others who have not yet mastered the power of artistic conception.
After the divine energy invades, it will leave a profound nightmare shadow on their psychology.
When they start the artistic conception trial in the future, or condense their own artistic conception, some twisted consciousness will be formed in their spiritual world, which is extremely terrifying.
So now we need the life energy of the second-order insect eggs to repair and purify them.
After doing this, Lin Feng happened to be able to absorb the organic nutrient solution from the second-order eggs to replenish his own physical strength.
At the same time, he also replenished the physical strength of his soldiers.
When a pair of cockroaches entered the breeding mecha of the hatching nest and made detailed modifications and debugging...
With a flash of golden light in her eyes, she learned the news from the front line, and then looked solemnly at Lin Feng, who was lying on the ground resting aside:
"They are here, there are three early-stage third-order queens, and a mid-term third-order queen guarding the south of the capital!"
"Ranked thirty-eight in the world, extremely powerful!"
At this moment, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, exuding a powerful aura.
"Synchronized upgrade completed!"
"Lin Feng, lv31/39"
"Hit points..."
