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

Chapter 230: Layout of defense, harvest, multiple emperors attack
As everyone walked out of the shelter, they saw the light of day again.

The swarms of insects summoned by the dead queen nearby fled in all directions, frightened by the powerful aura of Lin Feng and others.

"Send two people to inform the Federation's reconnaissance team that the Queen Mother of Yunxia Ridge has been dealt with. Tell the capital to arrange a breakout as soon as possible."

"The rest of the second-tier battle groups, set up camp on the spot and set up a battle line at Yunxia Ridge!"

Lin Feng looked at the mountains hundreds of meters high behind him and realized that this was an excellent terrain for an ambush.

The reason why Yunxialing is designated as a natural forest park is that its peaks and connected mountain ranges belong to the highest areas in the southwestern Taihang Mountains.

This means that as long as you can hold the top of the mountain and occupy the advantageous terrain, you can attack the invading enemy from a high position.

The Zerg here have been helping Lin Feng and others by digging out holes on the mountain to hide their figures.

Apparently, the Queen Mother of Yunxialing also knew that she could use the terrain here, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, to defend the southwest...

Once it successfully advances to the middle stage of the third stage, it will be able to stand out in the Northern Queen Competition by virtue of the territory it controls, 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, relying on its own strong strength, ignored the outer defense line of the Zerg and broke into the underground Zerg nest without any moral principles and killed its way into the mother nest...

Launch a decapitation operation directly against the Zerg’s command core, the high-level queen!

And it was completed successfully!

This resulted in the Queen Mother's careful arrangements here all becoming a wedding dress for the Savior Army.

The rugged terrain that was originally used to defend against humans and guard against Zerg was directly transformed into a ready-made position for Lin Feng to contain and block the Zerg that came to attack this area.

According to the topographic map provided by the federal reconnaissance team, the terrain of Yunxialing is rugged, and is known for being "strange", "special" and "dangerous". There are many straight stone pillars and cliffs hundreds of meters high, which are natural military fortresses and cannot be climbed.

The entire park has a terrain that is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The highest point is the main Zerg nest in the northwest, with an altitude of more than 2,100 meters. It is called Baicao Mountain.

The southeast mother nest where everyone is located has the main peak on the west side of the shelter at its highest point, which is about 1,200 meters above sea level. Although it is not as high as the northwest side, it is still more than enough to resist the invasion of the Zerg.

After all, even a high-level queen is only about a hundred meters in size, and a second-level peak tiger-spine worm is only fifty meters tall. If you want to break through the line on the top of the mountain, you still have to climb the mountain honestly under the bombardment of armor-piercing cannons and electromagnetic cannons.

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 sets of orange-quality equipment in their hands, even with only sixty people, they can easily suppress the 100,000 insect tides!
Divided into twelve groups of five people, they will guard the highest peaks of each mountain range. Relying on the narrow terrain and the strategic depth of twenty kilometers behind them that they can retreat to at any time, Yunxialing will become a veritable meat grinder.

As a meat grinder for the attacking Zerg!
After setting up the blocking line, Lin Feng took the remaining 200 soldiers, as well as a mixed second-level combat group composed of wounded soldiers such as Liu Yi, to the main nest of the Zerg on the northwest side of Yunxialing.

Liu Yueqi is also in the team.

Although she was extremely brave in the previous battle, the number of the second-level tiger spine insects that came to support her was limited, and she only killed eight of them in the end...

But among the defenders in the shelter, he has surpassed many veterans in the genetic regiments and ranked first.

Now that she has just entered the middle stage of the second stage at level 24, although her strength far exceeds that of ordinary second-stage awakeners, she is still unable to compete with the second-stage peak Zerg and high-level queen.

In addition, Liu Yi, Shen Jie and others will need to rest for a while before they can recover their combat effectiveness, so Liu Yueqi must enter the late second stage as soon as possible to assist the front-line battle group and repel the sudden attack of hundreds of second-stage insect swarms.

Especially the swarm of insects under the command of the third-stage mid-stage queen.

The reason why they were able to successfully break into the Zerg mother nest underground in Yunxialing this time was mainly because the second-level Zerg species in the hands of the third-level early queen were too single.

Apart from the spinal worm lineage, there is only the Zerg mother body of the queen mother and the expensive second-order wind-wing worm.

As long as you equip the chainsaw sword melee weapon specifically, you can easily defeat the tiger-spine insect swarm and kill your way into the underground insect nest with great force.

However, the queen mothers in the middle stage of the third stage are different. After their promotion, their unlimited reproduction state is further improved, and they unlock and master more genetic modification technologies, including the cultivation of new second-stage Zerg.

It is conceivable that if there were more warrior hunters, long-range pulse scorpions, and tank flame armors acting as meat shields on the battlefield...

With just over 200 warriors under Lin Feng's command, they really couldn't withstand the powerful swarm of insects under the command of the third-stage mid-stage Queen Mother.

Unless a fleet led by dreadnoughts can be brought in, relying on mobility and super firepower, it is possible to barely suppress the huge number of second-order Zerg swarms with clear division of labor.

Among them, the most difficult to deal with are the second-level warrior hunter insects. They are genetic hybrids specialized based on human awakeners and are specifically used to hunt second-level awakeners.

If the regiment loses the leadership of the second-level perfect leader, they will easily be ambushed and defeated one by one by the mysterious warrior hunters.

That is why Lin Feng needs to cultivate a new group of late-stage second-level perfect members as soon as possible to fill the vacancies of top combat power left by the absence of Liu Yi, Shen Jie and others.

Liu Yueqi is one of the candidates, and of course, those deputy commanders of the second-stage late-stage regiment who are still in good condition are also on the list.

While they were thinking about the subsequent personnel deployment, the remaining team of the Salvation Army led by the Biological Colonization Armor arrived at the main Zerg nest in Yunxialing in the southwest after marching 20 kilometers.

Just as we guessed on the way, this main nest was built on the highest peak of Yunxialing, inside the Baicao Mountain which is more than 2,000 meters high. There were also several green-winged insects lying on the top of the mountain, quietly monitoring and patrolling the Zerg territory.

Although the queen of this group of Zerg has died, the swarm of Zerg near the main nest still maintains a certain order and has not fallen into a blind state of being leaderless.

Because the journey was long and his physical condition was weak, Long Yi sat directly on the shoulders of the biological suit to save precious energy.

She also brought Liu Yueqi along, and the two of them sat on the shoulders of the giant mecha, one on the left and one on the right.

Seeing the orderly main nest insect group at this moment, Long Yi said calmly:

"It seems that there is indeed a node mother body here, which can maintain stability after the death of the mother queen."

"The node mother can control the insect swarm within a radius of three or four kilometers and execute the orders given to it by the mother queen to ensure the normal operation of the main nest."

"However, with the death of the Queen Mother, the node mother in the main nest will gradually die out after hatching all the second-level insect eggs because there will be no more insects to continue."

"Of course, if it is lucky, the order left by the Queen Mother contains the power of infinite reproduction. After losing contact with the Queen Mother for a long time, it will directly consume the eggs and nutritional energy of the hatching nest, spread the radiation of the state of mind, communicate with the only insect god of the Zerg race, the Mother of Life, and pray for the Queen Mother's gene sequence to be sent down. After absorbing it, it will breed a new Queen Mother's cocoon."

"Strictly speaking, all new mother queens are actually part of the Mother of Life, one of Her countless incarnations. As apostles of God, the mother queens absorb new genes from foreign races during the conquest of alien planets. After their souls return to the Kingdom of God, they can expand the divine power capacity of the Insect God."

"So losing the main hatching nest under the control of the queen mother is also an unstable factor and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Long Yi slowly stood up:
"I will go alone. You guys stay outside and don't disturb the order of the insect swarm. As long as we control the node mother of the hatching nest, we can control the entire insect swarm here..."

"We've already lost too much in the Queen Mother's Lair, let's not waste any more biomass."

"Since we are going to fight a protracted war, we have to conserve resources."

Lin Feng nodded in affirmation.

Now that Longyi has entered the third stage, it is naturally no problem for him to deal with a late second-stage mother.

"Everyone, take a break! Wait for Researcher Lin to finish dealing with these low-level insect swarms."

After Lin Feng gave the order, Longyi jumped down from the colonization mecha and quickly broke into the Zerg territory of the main nest.

After noticing this, the nearby Zerg came forward to test and identify friend from foe, but after sensing the aura and smell emanating from Lingyi, they immediately lowered their heads and retreated.

The Queen Mother's life level makes her an absolute ruling class in the Zerg swarm. No Zerg below a high level dares to challenge the Queen Mother's position.

Even though these swarms of insects do not belong to the Zerg tribe under Lingyi, without the orders of their own queen, they are inherently incapable of resisting due to their genetic level.

This is also the reason why, even though Long Yi was only in the late second stage of his strength, he was able to go and recruit the Queen Mother of Jiangbei and the remnants of the swarm left in the mother nest.

Similarly, now that Xiayunling has lost the control of the Queen Mother, it will also become the possession of Lingyi, and it will be faster and more convenient than last time. This is why Lin Feng agreed to her proposal.

Leading the Salvation Army to attack and kill the node mother, not only would it destroy the hatching nest and waste biomass energy, it would also cause the entire swarm of insects to become ownerless and flee in panic. Even Lingyi would not be able to control the entire situation and could only gather the second-stage swarm of insects in the center and some of the black-spine swarms.

This is undoubtedly a huge waste.

Therefore, as long as Lingyi can ensure that he can seize control of the node mother body within one or two hours, he can take down the entire main nest without bloodshed...

Lin Feng was naturally happy to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

At the same time, he also asked his soldiers to rest more so as to prepare for the subsequent blocking battle.

After all, there are less than three hours left before the attack of several nearby queens and their Zerg.

It would take about fifteen minutes to rush to the Yunxialing battlefield from the main nest in the northwest, so after counting the supplies harvested from the main nest, Lin Feng had to lead his capable men to rush to the front line as soon as possible to support the three remaining regiments.

At this moment, everyone camped on the slope of a nearby mountain, waiting for good news from Longyi.

Many soldiers began to discuss the mysterious background and true identity of this researcher, while several deputy commanders who were supporting the injured commander had already made a rough guess about Long Yi's situation.

The so-called researcher in the team was able to fight with the leader in many expeditions and defeat several queens. His strength is likely to be no less than that of the leader Lin Feng.

Moreover, she also awakened an extremely rare psychic ability, which allowed her to control low-level Zerg swarms through mental manipulation similar to that of the Zerg Queen.

Now that the Queen Mother has been killed, this Researcher Lin with a mysterious background is likely to once again perform the miracle of controlling the green-winged insect to reach Jincheng Square.

Time passed by minute by minute. In the midsummer of late August, the temperature in the north was no worse than that in the south.

People were lying in groups of three or four under the shade of trees on the sparsely vegetated slope, chewing grass cores to relieve fatigue.

Fortunately, an hour later, everyone saw from the hillside that the swarm of insects at the foot of the main peak, Baicao Mountain, began to crawl back into the cave in groups and hide themselves.

Soon, a woman in a white dress, sitting on the back of a six-meter-long giant red beetle, slowly walked out of the main cave entrance.

Lin Feng then led his team members to support them.

Seeing the colony mecha approaching, Long stood up:
"We have taken over control of the main nest."

"The Queen Mother of Yunxia Mountain has placed a quarter of the Zerg population here, about 10,000 black-backed Zergs, more than 100 second-level tiger-backed Zergs, and 20,000 to 30,000 red-scarred Zergs."

"Under my command and control, they began to fully exploit the nearby tree resources and continue to replenish the biomass energy of the hatching nest."

"The only regret is that I don't have the authority to hatch low-level Zergs, so I can't breed new low-level Zergs. Therefore, the size of this Zerg swarm will become smaller and smaller as time goes by."

"Eventually, all of their life energy will be integrated into the hatching nest and become a logistical reserve for us here."

Lin Feng nodded silently and followed Ling Yi into the wormhole. Two hundred meters underground, he entered the second-stage insect egg hatching nest in the main nest.

Unlike the underground hatching nest in Jiangbei, the north cannot be excavated and expanded as arbitrarily as in the south of the Yangtze River due to the dry geology and scarce groundwater.

The hatching nest here is only more than 500 meters wide, and the hatched fleshy luminous pyramids alone occupy half of the nest space, so it appears a bit crowded.

Longyi stood beside Lin Feng, and under his witness, they counted the number of insect eggs together.

There were only four hundred and twenty eggs in total. Excluding half of the mature eggs that had already developed into full-fledged eggs, there were still two hundred and ten eggs left, which meant an average of one hundred and five eggs per person.

A bit less.

Ling Yi explained:

"The north is different from the south. Natural resources here are quite scarce, and the population is concentrated in a few large cities. Naturally, it can't do what the south does. Moreover, the second-stage insect eggs of the third-stage early queen are of this size. Any more will affect the queen's own development."

"The reason why there were so many hatching nests in Jiangbei last time was because the Queen Mother of Haicheng 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 worms."

Lin Feng nodded and did not doubt the authenticity of the explanation given by Long Yi, because this meat hatching tower was much smaller than the one in Jiangbei, and there were only about 500 pits for insect eggs.

"Since the insect swarm here has been given to you, leave the hatched insect eggs to me."

There are two hundred and ten fully formed eggs, and the organic nutrient solution inside has been completely absorbed by the tiger spine worm larvae, so it is impossible to extract useful resources.

The best solution is to let Liu Yueqi and others kill them and quickly improve their strength.

Lin Feng and his men did the same thing in the underground hatchery in Jiangbei, so they quickly obtained eight perfect awakeners in the late second stage.

And now, these two hundred and ten formed insect eggs will quickly give birth to a group of top second-order lv29 powerhouses.

Lin Feng then called Liu Yueqi and others.

There were thirteen of them in all.

Except for Liu Yueqi, the other twelve people have already entered the late second stage. They are only short of the life energy of a dozen second-stage Zergs to reach perfection in the late second stage.

Therefore, there were just enough second-level insect eggs, and a few were left over to be rewarded to the outstanding captains among the two hundred soldiers.

After they finished killing the insects, Lin Feng took out the 105 second-level insect eggs that he had obtained and gave them to Liu Yi, Shen Jie and others.

According to Long Yi, after they were exposed to the radiation from the divine realm, their body tissues were severely deformed, so their vitality was severely overdrawn. They needed to absorb the pure life energy contained in the second-level insect eggs to repair their damaged potential.

This will not only speed up their recovery, but also reduce the sequelae of radiation distortion.

For example, spiritual pollution in consciousness and thinking.

Although this thing cannot be seen or touched, it is more deadly than physical deformation, especially for team leaders like Liu Yi who have not yet mastered the power of artistic conception.

Once the energy from the divine realm invades, it will leave a very deep nightmare shadow on their minds.

When they start the trial of artistic conception in the future, or condense their own artistic conception, some distorted consciousness entities will be formed in their spiritual world, which are extremely terrifying.

Therefore, the life energy of the second-order insect eggs is needed to repair and purify them.

After doing this, Lin Feng can also absorb the organic nutrient solution from the second-level insect eggs to replenish his physical energy consumption.

At the same time, it also replenishes the physical strength of his soldiers.

When the pair of scorpions entered the hatching nest and made detailed modifications to the mecha...

With a golden light flashing in her eyes, she learned the news from the front line, and then looked solemnly at Lin Feng who was lying on the ground to rest:
"They are coming. There are three early-stage third-order queen mothers, and a middle-stage third-order queen mother guarding the south of the capital!"

"Ranked 38th in the world, extremely powerful!"

At this moment, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura emanated from his body.

"Synchronous upgrade completed!"

"Lin Feng, lv31/39"

"Life points..."
