End of the World: My Items Can Be Upgraded Infinitely.

Chapter 194: Forming an aerospace group, logistics and decisive battle begin

No matter how powerful they are, humans are always social animals, and this is difficult to change in a short period of time.

Even though they have all become second-level awakeners.

Following Shen Jie's lead, the other two peak-level second-level genetic warriors also began to try it in small sips.

Everyone knew that insect meat was highly poisonous, but the appetite that was surging in their bodies, and the saliva that kept secreting in their mouths after smelling that strange smell...

All these experiences were conveying a message to their brains: Go and eat the green-winged insect corpses that were piled up in the corner of the classroom!

After the captains of the regiments had eaten the membranous-wing roots in their hands and showed a look of satisfaction, and did not fall into a coma due to poisoning as they had believed, everyone took a step forward and walked up to the blue-winged insect corpse one after another.

Encouraged by Shen Jie's eyes, they joined together in this feast that belonged only to genetic warriors.

The gluttony that lasted for more than an hour soon ended. In fact, even though they were second-level gene warriors, they could not eat too much insect meat before it was completely metabolized and replaced throughout the body's cells.

They are just a little stronger than ordinary second-level awakeners and have higher resistance to poison.

Seventy-two second-level genetic warriors ate only ten pairs of blue-winged membranous wings, which averaged less than one pound of insect meat per person.

But even so, as the worm meat went down the stomach, the zygote transplanted in the lower back began to release a large number of assimilation cells as the activity of the gene glands increased, in order to absorb and digest the worm meat in the stomach and replace its own gene inventory.

When the genes of the green-winged insect are taken into the body, affecting the dominant expression of subsequent assimilating cells, the newly divided cell tissue clusters begin to accumulate in large quantities outside the shoulder blades on the back.

As time passed, two yellow-gray tumor buds the size of footballs gradually emerged on the two shoulder blades.

Everyone present only felt that the energy in their bodies was gradually drained away, and all of it was consumed in the specialization of assimilated cells.

Soon, when the tumor matures, the dark yellow hard shell begins to crack, revealing the membranous wing tissue inside.

The green and yellow membranous wings slowly spread out.

In a large classroom that could accommodate four classes, seventy-two second-level gene warriors slowly grew their own membrane wings in just two or three hours.

It is equivalent to directly mastering the ability of flying.

Immediately, many excited team members walked to the window and wanted to spread their wings and fly high to experience the feeling of flying like never before.

The human desire to fly is deep-rooted.

It represents freedom and hope.

"This is the fourth floor. Although falling from 20 meters won't hurt you, if this pair of newly grown membranous wings are broken, I guarantee you will be in excruciating pain."

Shen Jie's voice came coldly.

Many team members who had forgotten themselves suddenly came to their senses and calmed down, realizing that this pair of membranous wings is actually an important part of their bodies.

Like a newborn limb, it is extremely fragile.

If there is any damage, you may lose your only chance to fly.

Immediately left the dangerous window.

Seeing this, Shen Jie continued:
"Let's go. The commander has prepared a nutritious meal for you to replenish your body's energy."

Then he led everyone to a small cafeteria in the university town, which could only accommodate three or four hundred people.

Lin Feng arrived early and was drinking the organic nutrient solution extracted from the second-level insect eggs to replenish the physical energy consumed in replicating and synthesizing forty-five flying wing tanks.

Previously, Chen Yanyan spent a whole morning breaking through from the early second stage to the late second stage. She killed more than 40 second-stage insect eggs and squeezed out nearly 4,500 kilograms of organic nutrient solution.

It is just right for providing logistical supplies to the second-level legion.

Each of them is an important fighting force, especially now that the war is approaching, and they deserve the best treatment.

Seeing their leader, the genetic warriors lined up neatly and waited for orders.

Although they had greatly increased their strength, they did not become arrogant. Instead, they became more respectful of the old leader Lin Feng.

This is actually a very simple truth:

They couldn't even beat Shen Jie, the actual head of the Gene Corps. Privately, two Gene Corps members had fought Shen Jie. The difference in strength and reaction speed between the two sides was quite large, and Captain Shen Jie could easily defeat two of them alone.

Even without using the killing intent, he can easily defeat two gene captains of the same level.

Because the increase in their genetic modification was only about 30% in the early stage, and Shen Jie, who had mastered the killing intent and had fully integrated with the Zerg genes, had already increased his physical attributes by more than 100%.

Even Captain Shen Jie is difficult to defeat, let alone Leader Lin Feng, whose strength is far superior to Shen Jie.

The stronger the power you control, the more you can feel Lin Feng's profound strength.

He is the undisputed supreme leader and commander of the entire second-level legion.

At this moment, seeing the seventy-two genetic warriors all growing a pair of membrane wings, Lin Feng smiled and greeted them:

"Disband and have dinner. Everything is ready for you."

Following Lin Feng's order, everyone went to the dining table and sat down under the command of their respective leaders.

The large iron bowl that had been prepared long ago contained more than two kilograms of organic nutrient solution. In addition, there were dried fish and meat jerky made by the logistics support soldiers to supplement protein and fat.

The aroma of the organic nutrient solution was even better than that of the Zerg corpses. Everyone drank it in big gulps and began to replenish the energy they had consumed by absorbing the flesh of the membranous-winged insects.

As their stomachs began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, ten minutes later, the team members, who were full and licking their plates, regrouped at the command of the team leader.

Waiting for the leader's orders.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, looked at the seventy-three second-level gene warriors present in the dark, and spoke slowly:
"I think everyone has expected this. The Zerg in Haicheng has come up with something new this time."

"The Queen Mother of Haicheng sent out the second-order wind-winged insects to conduct a tentative bombing on our fleet, and achieved good results."

"So next, they will definitely take advantage of our lack of air power and increase high-altitude raids and bombings on the second line of defense, the super fleet, and even the entire rear camp."

"In addition to strengthening the anti-aircraft firepower of ground forces, the most important thing is to regain our air superiority and strive to destroy the Zerg's air force in the sky!"

"This is the arduous task that the entire Thirteenth Division needs to entrust to you, and the importance of this task is directly related to the success or failure of the decisive battle!"

Lin Feng then waved his hand:
"Let's go. Captain Shen Jie and I will try our best to get you used to aerial combat in a short period of time."

Then, Lin Feng led the second-level gene regiment to the large uninhabited area behind the cafeteria.

Under the demonstration of him and Shen Jie, the members present began to spread their membranous wings one after another. The translucent film provided extremely strong buoyancy under the high-frequency flapping of the wing roots, gradually overcoming and even exceeding their own gravity.

The team members' feet slowly left the ground and floated in the air.

Then Lin Feng and Shen Jie, who already had the ability to fly, began to lead them in low-altitude, uniform-speed patrol training.

After flying for three or four hours, in the late morning, everyone finally landed on the cafeteria rooftop, somewhat exhausted.

Lin Feng estimated that the flight endurance of the genetic warrior at full condition was about two hours, and the fastest flying speed could reach over Mach 1, which is one times the speed of sound.

It can be converted to 400 meters per second. Although it is a bit slower than the second-order wind wing insect, it is already the first-order green wing insect, the ultimate potential of the gene. Although the gene warrior is slightly inferior in speed, as long as Lin Feng is there, any disadvantage can be made up for in other aspects.

For example, equipping a set of orange-quality tiger armor can greatly increase the odds in the fight against the second-order wind-wing insect. Another example is equipping each person with an upgraded large-caliber machine gun for long-range bombardment.

In order to arm the flying genetic warriors, Lin Feng directly took down the 20mm caliber machine gun installed on the defense line.

After several attacks by insect swarms, they have accumulated a large number of upgrade points. Lin Feng only made a slight move and directly upgraded them to red quality.

A rapid-fire artillery with over 100 points of damage and over 500 spare bullets.

Maybe it's a little bit lacking in firepower to deal with the second-level tiger spine insect, but it's more than enough to deal with the wind wing insect in the sky. Because it is a guy with high attack and low defense, just like the blue wing insect.

According to Long Yi, the windwing insect is a second-level insect species, but it is the only one whose outer armor defense strength is only equivalent to that of the black-spine insect of the lower level.

Although the outer armor of the black-spine worm is strong enough to withstand the impact of wind resistance at Mach 2 or 3, it is obviously not enough compared to the second-level Zerg. Even the new generation of warrior hunters are more resistant than them.

However, considering the flight endurance and maximum speed, heavy outer armor is obviously no longer applicable.

This is a trade-off between size and maneuverability.

Compared to the huge bodies of second-order wind-wing insects that are often twenty or thirty meters long, human genetic warriors obviously have more flight load redundancy, can wear heavier armor, and have more machine gun ammunition reserves.

Therefore, relying on the higher defensive power of the external armor and the long-range strike capability of the large-caliber machine gun, the flying genetic warrior is enough to suppress the second-order wind-wing insect even if it is slightly slower.

This prevents them from easily dropping large numbers of suicide bugs like they did yesterday.

After preliminary screening, thirty out of the seventy-two genetic warriors were found to have extremely high flying talents and were able to take on this important task.

Lin Feng then separated them out and formed an aerospace regiment in the second-level legion, which was specifically responsible for attacking the Zerg's air force.

Each of them is equipped with a red-quality large-caliber machine gun and an orange-quality tiger armor, which is upgraded from the giant jaws of the second-level tiger spine worm.

After being fully armed, the combat effectiveness of the Aerospace Corps surpasses that of the second-order wind-wing insects!
The remaining 42 gene warriors were tasked with low-altitude combat and battlefield patrol missions, blocking the new second-order Zerg sent by the Zerg, such as the long-range pulse war scorpion and the assassination and sabotage warrior hunters.

After making the arrangements, Lin Feng planned to conduct the first practical training after the sun rises.

Led by Shen Jie, they patrolled the entire Wucheng airspace, waiting for an opportunity to kill and retaliate against the Zerg's second-level wind-wing insect bombing squadron.

With the success she achieved last time, the Queen Mother of Haicheng will certainly increase her investment this time. She is likely to form several or even more than a dozen second-order wind-wing insect bombing squadrons, attempting to rely on large-scale bombing to wipe out all enemies that prevent it from entering Taihu Lake.

Soon, with the first ray of morning light rising from the east, a new day arrived.

The war was imminent, and the tense atmosphere in the camp lingered for a long time.

In the square in front of the dreadnought, the fully armed second-level aerospace regiment, wearing sunglasses, lined up in an orderly manner under the command of the regiment leader Shen Jie.

Accepting Lin Feng's inspection, as well as the attention of a large number of nearby soldiers and other second-level regiments.

As the first aerospace regiment to be engaged in the battle, they deserve this honor.

As they put on their special armor, they stretched out a pair of green and yellow membranous wings behind them, and with the high-frequency flapping, they stirred up strong air currents, like a helicopter slowly taking off, flying into the clouds one after another.

Watching the newly formed aerospace regiment heading towards its first actual combat, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the remaining four ordinary regiments and their chief commander Liu Yi.

The other party noticed the leader's gaze and nodded secretly.

After the crowd dispersed, Liu Yi found Lin Feng in the conference room and reported the situation:

"The candidates who will go underground have been selected. They include my five captains who have reached the late stage of the second order, and 25 ordinary members who have close combat skills."

"These thirty members will form a guard regiment and follow you into the underground insect nest for a day to complete the decapitation plan."

Lin Feng nodded. This was the task he gave to Liu Yi after he came back yesterday.

Thirty tiger-tooth chainsaw swords require a group of melee fighters to wield them and complete the important containment mission in the final decapitation plan.

"Okay, lead them to the weapons warehouse where the convoy unloaded yesterday, pick up the Tiger Tooth Chainsaw Sword, and prepare to follow me north to Changcheng."

"The remaining fifty-five members will work together with the Gene Corps to kill the Pulse Scorpions behind the Zerg tide, as well as the Warrior Zergs targeting the fleet on the battlefield."

"Ensure today's progress is carried out in an orderly manner!"

As Lin Feng gave the order, Liu Yi took it and went to make preparations.

After a while, Li Ran came over and brought his logistical arrangements and the layout of the second line of defense.

He was extremely excited about this battle. As one of the top leaders and one of the few who knew the truth about the decapitation plan, Li Ran felt fortunate and proud from the bottom of his heart when he thought of the feat that Lin Feng was about to accomplish.

"According to what you said, the fishing business has been suspended for the time being. The auxiliary soldiers have begun to move the supplies in the camp, including dried fish, food, instruments and tools, etc., leaving only weapons and equipment and three days of food supply."

"At present, we plan to leave 3,000 auxiliary soldiers to transport food and ammunition to the front line and clean and repair the tanks. The rest will all be relocated to the Jincheng base."

"This will ease the logistical pressure of the retreat later on."

"I will be in charge of the overall command of the second line of defense, and the specific arrangements will be handed over to the battalion commanders and company commanders below. I will be responsible for the logistics of the entire camp and ensure the supply of materials to the front line."

Lin Feng nodded, and explained how to deal with the most dangerous situation:

"Another point, if the Queen Mother of Haicheng rises up and intensifies her attack, and our defense is already in jeopardy, we can directly dismiss the auxiliary soldiers and only leave a small number of drivers to support the defenders on the defense line."

"Preserve the remaining strength and return to Jincheng."

Li Ran nodded, agreeing with him.

After he left, Chen Yanyan and Long Yi entered the meeting room.

Lin Feng and Chen Yanyan hugged each other tightly, and naturally there was no need for much words between them.

Chen Yanyan took a deep breath:
"Must come back!"

Lin Feng nodded:
"Don't worry. We've been preparing for so long. Even if we're not 100% sure, we'll have at least 80% to 90% confidence. Even if we fail in the end, at least there won't be any other accidents."

"As for you, remember to keep your life radar on. I'm worried that the Queen Mother of Haicheng might get angry and personally try to keep the fleet."

Today, the super fleet headed by the dreadnought has become a thorn in the eyes of the Queen of Haicheng. It is very likely that after determining the strength of the defenders, the other party will take the risk to completely destroy this land fleet.

Chen Yanyan nodded seriously, turned around to look at the expressionless Long Yi, and then left the meeting room.

Lin Feng looked at the last one left:

"Are you ready?"

"I think the Queen Mother of Jiangbei can no longer hold back and wants to cross the river!"

"Come on, let's go meet it!"
