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

Chapter 206 The Significance and Value of the Queen Mother's Corpse

Such a huge body of the Queen Mother certainly cannot be hidden secretly, and Lin Feng has never thought about covering it up. He just wants to make it public.

Let everyone know that there is the corpse of the Zerg Queen here. The abandoned troops left behind in Jincheng, under the leadership of Lin Feng, defeated the invincible Zerg!

After more than a day of fermentation, the incident had spread through word of mouth among the survivors in the Jincheng base, and everyone knew about it.

Some people could not contain their curiosity and even after working intensively during the day, they would walk several kilometers from their accommodation area to the railway station square just to look up at the mysterious appearance of the high-level Zerg queen.

After this matter spread quickly, it was naturally known to the biological research on the other side of the river.

When Ling Shuyan first heard the news, she was stunned for a moment...

Her first reaction was absolutely impossible!

Although Lin Feng traded three nuclear warheads from her, and the nuclear bombs can indeed kill the Queen Mother.

Because other major powers have already made such attempts.

Among the three major countries in the world, in addition to the Federation, there is the isolated United States overseas, and the Russian Empire dominating the northwest of the main continent.

Among the three powers, the most aggressive of them all, the Russian Empire, directly launched several hydrogen bombs with a yield of one million at the end of March, attacking its small neighboring country that had already been completely conquered.

There have been cases where entire insect swarms have been wiped out.

The Western Alliance, which is composed of more than a dozen small countries in the northwest, includes Princess Betty's Kingdom of Lolai.

A hydrogen bomb with a TNT equivalent of one million can wipe out half a city in an instant, not to mention that the Russian Empire used more than one.

Even the Zerg Queen cannot withstand such brutal and reckless bombings.

As the saying goes, under a nuclear explosion, all beings are equal...

Ling Shuyan never doubted whether Lin Feng, who commanded hundreds of second-level awakeners and possessed three nuclear bombs, could really kill the high-level queen mother.

But killing the queen mother with a nuclear bomb and doing it personally are two completely different concepts.

The devastating high temperature of a nuclear explosion will instantly melt all carbon-based life.

Even if the Zerg Queen has a solid armor defense layer, she will be instantly burned into charcoal by the hydrogen bomb and finally turned into powder.

Therefore, Ling Shuyan would rather believe that Lin Feng used three micro-nuclear warheads to remotely wipe out the life of the Zerg Queen, rather than accept that the other party brought back the Queen's intact body.

The former is nothing more than the result of weapons such as nuclear bombs, which even the Federation can easily do if the opportunity is right.

But the latter means that Lin Feng will use other means, and most likely take action personally, to accomplish the impossible feat of killing the Zerg Queen!

This not only means that Lin Feng has the strength to kill high-level Zerg alone, but also shows that Lin Feng at this moment has already won this incredible victory...

Successfully entered the third stage!
Promoted to the third-level awakener!
Become the only third-level human in the world today!
Even if he used a nuclear bomb to seriously injure the Zerg Queen first, he would still have to kill her himself afterwards in order to obtain the life energy for the third awakening across levels.

And in the Federal Research Institute, there were so many weapons experts, Zerg researchers, and the military holding a joint discussion meeting...

Regarding the beheading plan against the Queen Mother, the final conclusion is:
Even if the Queen Mother only has one breath left, she can easily kill a large number of late-stage second-order awakeners through powerful mental attacks in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, based on the defensive power of the outer armor of the second-level tiger-spine beetles and tank fire beetles, the solid defense layer covering the Queen Mother's body cannot be broken by ordinary heavy firepower weapons except nuclear bombs and ground-penetrating missiles, let alone the awakened one who has to kill it alone.

Therefore, it is currently very difficult to complete the promotion to the third level by personally killing the Queen Mother.

Unless a large number of rare superpowers are mobilized, or the Federal Research Institute's Superman Project cultivates a group of late-stage second-order multi-power awakeners to form a team to hunt...

There is only a glimmer of hope of defeating the Queen Mother.

But now, it has been more than two months since the apocalypse broke out, and most of the awakened people have only awakened to the first stage, and only a few ruthless people can be promoted to the second stage.

There are only a few dozen people in the world who have reached the late second stage and are like supermen.

It is simply impossible to kill a high-level queen by human power.

Even facing a Queen Mother in the early stage of the third stage, he currently does not have the strength to fight.

However, the news coming now shows that Lin Feng used his own force to kill the Zerg Queen!

This made Ling Shuyan completely unable to accept it for a while.

Science is about logic...

The more she knew about the terrifying nature of the high-level queen mother, especially after being told by Lin Feng about the existence of the mysterious gene radiation power, Ling Shuyan believed that high-level life forms were fundamentally different from ordinary carbon-based life forms.

In other words, third-order life forms are gradually moving away from the definition of natural life.

They are the end point of the evolution of the species within the planet,
But it is also the starting point of individual evolution!

For a biological researcher, if he could obtain the corpse of a third-order life form for research and experiments, it would be the greatest blessing that Ling Shuyan has always dreamed of!
Because based on the body structure of third-order life and highly developed tissue cell samples, etc., we can reverse study the evolutionary process of cells and thus improve various current experimental projects.

For example, the Federal Research Institute is promoting the gene completion program and the artificial superman program.

If Ling Shuyan can complete these studies and serve as the creator and signer of these results, she will undoubtedly become the first person in evolutionary research who will go down in history after the end of the world.

Whether it was the inner desire for research or the temptation of supreme fame, Ling Shuyan couldn't wait to obtain the only body of the queen mother.

Even if they only scrape up a few cells, it will allow them to make great progress in their research on the mysteries of Zerg evolution.

However, when she put down her work, led her research team, left the institute in a hurry, and rushed to Jincheng City...

However, Han Yuxin told him that the Queen Mother's body was currently not open to the public and that people could only stop and observe from a distance of several hundred meters on the road.

The protection level of the Queen Mother’s corpse is the highest level!
If they wanted to step forward and touch it, even the top leaders of Jincheng Base would not dare to cross the line without Lin Feng's approval.

But ever since the decisive battle of Wucheng broke out, the communication base stations have been basically shut down, and Ling Shuyan was unable to contact Lin Feng who was two hundred kilometers away for a while.

She had no choice but to stay there with her subordinates and wait, observing the giant beast through telescopes.

After careful observation...

What is certain is that Lin Feng first attacked with a nuclear bomb, causing serious injuries to the Queen Mother, and then he personally went down to complete the life-and-death battle.

The injuries suffered by this queen were mostly concentrated in the back half of her body. Thanks to her strong vitality and self-healing ability, the surface damage has basically recovered.

You can see that its outer epidermis is dark red when it is born, instead of the normal state where the tumor is mainly covered with a red and black outer shell and is yellowish in color.

Moreover, its iconic thick tail biological nest was most likely discarded as a burden during its struggle to escape, similar to a lizard cutting off its tail.

That's why it looks top-heavy, like a big-headed worm.

The insect researcher next to Ling Shuyan showed an extremely excited look after seeing the Queen Mother's corpse, and introduced it nonstop:
"This guy looks a bit like a red firefly, an ancient arthropod similar to a trilobite. The underlying structure of its abdomen is very primitive, which means that the evolutionary history of the Zerg is at least measured in hundreds of millions of years..."

"The new evolutionary structure is on the top of the body. In addition to the big head, the long trunk has many tumors and pores. It synthesizes and releases a large amount of pheromones to control the lower-level Zerg nearby."

"So the Queen Mother is able to control tens of thousands of insect swarms. Relying solely on the mental energy in her brain is definitely not enough. She achieves this through precise mental control combined with cluster control using pheromones, similar to bee colonies and ant colonies..."

This extremely excited expert was actually in the same state as the other members of the team. The heated discussion started when they arrived at the square at noon and lasted until the evening...

After dinner, everyone's eyes were filled with eagerness and greed, and they could no longer bear it. They hoped that Director Ling could contact Lin Feng as soon as possible to discuss their research cooperation on the Queen Mother's corpse.

Thereby obtaining authorization to get close to the insect corpse.

However, since the 13th Division stationed in Wucheng arrived in Jincheng, Lin Feng has been busy dealing with various matters, and his mobile phone fell into the bedroom of the dreadnought when the third-level awakening was upgraded.

In addition, Han Yuxin was not willing to let Ling Shuyan have more contact with Lin Feng because of the issue of Lin Feng's descendants and the successor of the base, so she kept shirking the matter. As a result, Ling Shuyan and others were left alone in the abandoned old building of the B&B next to the train station.

Until the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright...

Unable to wait any longer, the people in the research institute decided to take advantage of the time when the guards near the Queen Mother's body were changing shifts to force their way closer to the corpse.

However, no matter how fast they moved, they could not be faster than the elite soldiers responsible for patrolling and guarding.

They were all awakened people in the late stage of the first order, numbering in the hundreds. In addition, there was a flat square in front of the train station, with no shelter...

Even for a second-level awakener, it is difficult to approach the insect corpse quietly.

Therefore, this group of people were stopped on the spot by the guards on duty after taking only a few steps, and the soldiers in the back row even raised their guns to warn them.

Ling Shuyan quickly introduced the identities of the group to ease the tense atmosphere.

But for the soldiers returning from the front line, no matter how big a figure you are, except for the supreme leader of the 13th Division, no one can approach the insect corpse without permission.

Having said that, he was about to detain everyone present.

He was taken to Li Ran, the deputy commander of the Combat Corps, for interrogation and sentencing.

Fortunately, at this stalemate moment, Lin Feng stepped forward and came to the square.

Seeing Lin Feng appear, the elite soldiers stood at attention and saluted. Ling Shuyan, who was being held captive, breathed a sigh of relief. After breaking free from the soldiers' restraints, she looked at Lin Feng:
"Finally I see you!"

Ling Shuyan pushed her glasses and walked quickly forward.

Lin Feng looked up at the mountain-like corpse of the Queen Mother. The expanded hydrogen stomach bag had shrunk back through slow deflation and was stuffed back into the abdomen.

What surprised him was that even though the Zerg Queen's life energy had been absorbed, the organs and tissue cells in her corpse still retained a fairly high level of activity.

Unlike the overall system of ordinary life, a third-stage life form like the Queen Mother, even if the central nervous system of the brain is completely dead, other organs in the body can still maintain normal functioning for a period of time.

Even if the energy supply is insufficient, it will continue to survive by devouring nearby body cells.

However, bacteria and viruses that commonly cause decay and decay are completely powerless in front of the cells of third-order life forms and are no different from food.

Even if other lower life forms eat the flesh of the queen mother's corpse raw, not to mention whether they can resist the toxicity, they are likely to suffer from backlash inflammation such as internal bleeding.

The low-level immune system cannot fight against the third-order cells.

The Queen Mother's corpse is exposed to the environment of the Blue Star, just like food in a can. It can be preserved for a long time until it loses its energy source and dies.

However, it was also thanks to the fact that most of the life energy had been absorbed by Lin Feng. Otherwise, even if the Queen Mother was brain dead, the power of artistic conception in her body would still be able to rely on this energy to continue to radiate to the surrounding genes, causing a continuous impact.

The spread of weirdness will cause endless troubles.

Lin Feng once discussed this with Long Yi, and according to her, even if all the energy of the Queen Mother was plundered after her death, the flesh and blood left behind by her insect corpses still had extremely high utilization value.

The organs and tissues alone are all second-level orange-quality materials. After being ingested by second-level life forms, they can reap great benefits.

For example, the re-evolution of cells and the enhancement of their abilities.

The hard bones and brain tissue in the queen mother's body are all genuine third-level gold-quality materials, which will be of great benefit to other queen mothers.

But for humans, the value of this third-level insect corpse in front of them is not only the corpse itself, but also the various meanings it represents.

Therefore, before squeezing out its meaning, Lin Feng will not let the value behind it leak out and cause depreciation.

"You want to study this giant corpse?"

After silently staring at the big guy in front of him for dozens of seconds, Lin Feng turned his head and looked at the woman who was preparing her words, and spoke.

In fact, it was not that Ling Shuyan did not want to speak, but while Lin Feng was looking up at the insect corpse, she had mobilized all the information in her brain, but she could not find any conditions that could impress Lin Feng.

In other words, she no longer has any trading capital to discuss cooperation with Lin Feng.

The other party can completely bypass me and directly cooperate with the Federal Research Institute to set up an independent department in the Jincheng base specifically responsible for analyzing the Queen Mother.

In this case, no matter how many epoch-making research results there are in the future, they will have nothing to do with Ling Shuyan.

At most, in this department, the person in charge of a certain task is ranked third or fourth in the performance records.

However, now that Lin Feng brought it up, even though Ling Shuyan felt very nervous, she could only follow her heart and nod.

Lin Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his head to look at the Queen Mother's corpse and continued:
"A high-level Zerg Queen is not only an important command center for the Zerg, but also represents the pinnacle of Zerg biotechnology! There are only more than a thousand of them in the world, and each one is unique!"

"If we study it, it will at least allow humankind's current biotechnology to leapfrog hundreds or thousands of years of progress!"

Ling Shuyan swallowed her saliva. She knew very well that Lin Feng was well aware of the value of this high-level insect corpse.

If she could get Lin Feng to agree now, even if he asked her to give up everything, not to mention her body, or even sell her soul, she would agree without hesitation.

No one can refuse such a precious opportunity.

Especially for an enthusiastic researcher.

So without waiting for Lin Feng to continue speaking, Ling Shuyan took the initiative to put forward her highest conditions, in a humble tone:

"We are willing to give up everything we have and become Mr. Lin's personal research team. All research results will belong to you alone..."

"As long as you are willing to speak, we can conduct an autopsy on the body of the Zerg Queen."

After hearing Ling Shuyan's response, Lin Feng did not agree directly, although at the moment this should be the best way to deal with the insect corpses.

But Lin Feng has more than one option.

If the Federal Headquarters can offer an attractive price, such as sharing of the superpower gene bank, then Lin Feng can consider allowing them to participate in the research on the Queen Mother.

"Okay, get ready."

Lin Feng answered ambiguously that no matter how the research was done, Ling Shuyan would definitely be involved in the end, the only difference was the exclusive authorization and a multi-party cooperation project.

Ling Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief after getting a positive answer.

Lin Feng's mouth corners slightly raised:

"but not now!"

"We have to wait until the whole world knows about its existence!"

It was almost too late.

In fact, it was almost finished at nine o'clock.

My mother drank a glass and a half of red wine in the evening and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea.

She drove to the emergency room of the hospital and asked about it. It turned out that she had been given several bottles of cephalexin yesterday. She thought it would be fine in 24 hours, but the doctor said it would take seven days to be excreted, and she would have to wait at least 48 hours.

As a result, I did a brain CT scan, blood test, and electrocardiogram, and there was no major problem. It was already past eleven o'clock when I came back.

I checked and revised it in a hurry.
