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

Chapter 248: Select the target to kill and absorb the purple crystal brain

After leaving Yunxialing, Lin Feng called Shen Jie and carried three empty boxes to Beihe Town not far to the north.

The small town built along the river was flashing with sporadic lights, indicating that there were people active here.

The two who did not hide their tracks were soon stopped by the guards at the intersection. After Lin Feng explained his purpose to them, the team leader, who was only a first-stage awakener, quickly ran back to the town to report the matter.

Not long after, Lin Feng and the other two were met by a major in the early second stage and led to the command center.

Along the way, we saw many warehouses that were once used to store grain and were converted into insect corpse processing plants. On each assembly line, there were workers holding knives, cutting and sorting.

In a local country villa, the two met Qin Hu who was discussing the defense layout with a group of commanders.

The number of people on the field was much smaller than the last time Lin Feng met him in the capital city, and there were many new faces.

Seeing the two coming, Qin Hu gave a brief introduction, especially to Shen Jie who was beside Lin Feng, praising him for being a hero at a young age, who had entered the late second stage and reached perfection at the age of eighteen.

Stronger than most of the awakened ones present.

However, he didn't know yet that the other party was the one who perfected the genetic modification surgery.

Without Shen Jie's supernatural cell sample, even if Ling Shuyan racked her brains, it would be impossible for her to perfect the genetic modification technology to a level sufficient for large-scale promotion in a short period of time.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qin Hu dismissed his attendants and asked Lin Feng why he had come.

The latter walked forward slowly and examined the northern map hanging in the command room, which marked the locations of all Zerg near the capital city, including the approximate location of each queen.

"We plan to launch an attack on the nearby Zerg tomorrow afternoon before the trial begins, and strive to have all our genetic warriors advance to the late second stage."

"In addition, Shen Jie, as an awakened Primarch with the ability of genetic assimilation, has already mastered the power of the spinal worm's state of mind. Take this opportunity to have him kill the Queen Mother and complete the third-level promotion."

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Qin Hu was stunned for a while, until he felt an aura from Shen Jie that was deeper and more powerful than his own, then he suddenly realized.

Then he looked at Shen Jie with a look of respect for the strong, and spoke with a tone of admiration:
"Thank you for your help with the genetic technology. Now that we have such a good thing, I would like to congratulate Brother Shen in advance!"

Shen Jie nodded humbly. In fact, when Lin Feng came to him, he only mentioned it twice, and he is still in shock now.

"I've asked you to come this time for two things. In addition to helping me select the Zerg and Queen Mother targets to be eliminated, I also want to ask you for this..."

Lin Feng continued speaking, pointing to the three black boxes placed behind Shen Jie:
"You seem to have 30,000 or 40,000 Awakeners under your command, right?"

"I want to obtain their special tissue cells as research samples. Like Ling Shuyan and the others, I want to find out the secret of evolution."

"In exchange, I will bring your men with me on tomorrow's raid on the hive..."

"This is also a demonstration for you in advance of how to concentrate top forces and quickly eliminate the Zerg Queen."

"We will split the harvested second-level insect eggs in half, and the rest of the second-level tiger spine insects will be left to you."

Hearing the generous reward from Lin Feng, Qin Hu was overjoyed, feeling like pie in the sky, and quickly said politely, flattered:

"No, no, it's just a small matter!"

"The genetic modification surgeries under my command are all performed by the biotechnologists sent by Ling Shuyan. They form a military medical research institute and have samples of the superpower cells of all the awakened members in our team."

"Wait, I'll ask them to get it for you."

Lin Feng nodded, then looked at the map:

"Which one do you think is better?"

Qin Hu put away his inner joy and became more serious:

"You have eliminated the queen mothers in the southwest and south, leaving only two in the early and middle stages. They are now hiding deep underground, huddled in the southwest suburbs..."

“That’s not a consideration here.”

"So my best targets are the west and northwest."

"As for the north and southeast, they are more than 80 kilometers away from our base. If we rush over there without knowing the environment and situation, we will easily be attacked from both sides."

"In the west and northwest, in addition to the middle-stage mother queen that originally guarded the west, there are five third-order early-stage mother queens, distributed within a range of 20 to 40 kilometers outside the capital city."

As he spoke, Qin Hu picked up a thick fountain pen and circled a place on the map:
"From the perspective of topography, this queen mother in this area is the farthest from the capital city, and controls the Yong'an River in the northwest. Just like the queen mother of Yunxialing, she guards the important pass and occupies this forest park."

"To the west, we can take advantage of the water route and go all the way to the Yong'an Reservoir, which is 70 to 80 kilometers away, and get a glimpse of the entire Northwest prairie..."

"Fortunately, it has not yet been promoted to the middle stage of the third stage, otherwise the senior members of the Federation would have to retreat all the way and run a hundred kilometers away!"

Lin Feng smiled and stared at the map.

The mountains near Yong'an River have a terrain similar to Yunxialing, but they are not as steep. In order to facilitate water collection, the queen mother built the insect nest on the edge of the forest park, and there is a river right in front of the foot of the mountain.

In this way, by simply occupying the hill at the entrance of the Zerg nest, one can control the Zerg in the entire area and strangle their surface support.

Moreover, the nearest Zerg was twenty kilometers away. Even if other queens wanted to come for support, they could not catch up with the attack speed of Lin Feng and others.

"Okay, let's choose this place."

"After we resolve this, we can use this place as a blocking front, deploy a certain amount of manpower and troops to control the Zerg's secondary expansion to the northwest."

Qin Hu nodded:
"No problem. The importance of this place is just like Yunxialing. However, the more than 100,000 soldiers I have can only defend one area."

"When you leave the North..."

Lin Feng pointed to the Federation army stationed 70 kilometers northwest after breaking through:

"Then force them to return to the frontline battlefield as soon as possible and re-defend the northwest and west."

"Although there is a serious internal struggle among the top leaders of the Federation, at least those old foxes know that if they lose this large area of ​​the northwest, and their hundreds of thousands of troops are transferred to the rear base of the Hexi base, they will really be in name only."

As he spoke, Lin Feng lowered his voice and continued:
"This evening, the senior federal officials represented by General Chen came to talk to me about the situation in the north and the southern corps under your command."

Qin Hu's nerves tensed up instantly.

He was already aware of the matter and had reported it to the guards who were patrolling nearby.

The convoy carrying senior federal officials drove along the winding mountain road on the northwest side, entered Yunxialing, and took more than an hour to leave the front line.

Qin Hu was of course also aware that the reason why the other party was eager to visit Lin Feng was naturally to test the attitude of the only third-level awakener in human history towards his open resistance to him.

Now that Lin Feng has made it clear, it means that everything is still under control.

So Qin Hu did not rush to ask about the situation, but waited for Lin Feng to speak:

"I told them that I would support whoever is on the front line fighting the Zerg invasion."

"So in order to prevent me from completely falling in love with you, the federal top brass will re-establish the blocking front in the northwest region soon."

"You can also give up this piece of land at that time to send a goodwill signal for peace talks."

"With your current strength, you are not strong enough to make them hand over power and give in."

"But don't worry about them taking advantage of your misfortune. A good iron must be made strong itself. As long as you maintain your leading number of awakened people and your overall strength, even if you humiliate them..."

"They will just swallow their anger."

"You spineless guys will always put your own interests first, so what determines your future is not someone else's attitude, but your own strength!"

Qin Hu nodded, agreeing with him.

Lin Feng continued:

"After the artistic conception trial is over, as long as you can survive, you will also have the strength to kill a high-level mother queen."

"Once these four mid-stage queens have digested the results of this round of battle, they will definitely start a new round of war. When we respond, as long as you seize the opportunity, you may be able to kill an early-stage queen that has escaped the net..."

Hearing this, Qin Hu realized that Lin Feng had already calculated the layout of the north perfectly. As long as he was promoted to the third-level awakener, even if he challenged the federal high-level officials publicly, the other party would not tear their faces directly because of face issues.

After all, being a third-level awakener means being able to completely resist the expansion of the Zerg Queen and truly possess the strength to stand firm in this apocalyptic catastrophe.

In comparison, the second-level awakeners can only rely on stacking numbers to stop the invasion of the second-level Zerg.

Once the Queen Mother arrives at the city gates and takes action personally, humans will have no choice but to retreat once again.

"Thank you!"

Qin Hu spoke in a deep tone, with a focused gaze, and solemnly gave his assurance and promise:
"As long as I can be promoted to the third level, I will stabilize the situation in the north after you leave. Even if I can't withstand the joint attack of the mother queens, I will try my best to ensure that the Central Plains will not be completely corrupted."

"The Queen Mother of the North will not affect the South!"

Lin Feng nodded.

This is the ultimate meaning of all he did.

Once the resistance in the north collapses, these twenty or thirty queens, under the involutionary environment of raising insects, will not only be born in the later stages of their existence, but will also lead millions of hungry insects to the south to attack cities and territories.

Wherever he went, not a blade of grass grew.

It will seriously affect the development strategy set by Lin Feng.

After finishing the discussion with Qin Hu, Lin Feng asked him to make arrangements for tomorrow, and the decapitation operation was scheduled to begin at dawn at five o'clock.

An hour later, he returned to Yunxialing with three full black boxes and Shen Jie.

On the way, the latter asked about the details of the killing of the queen mother.

After all, Lin Feng is the most proficient in this matter now.

When attacking the Queen Mother of Yunxia Mountain, Shen Jie only helped cut off the Queen Mother's personal biological hatching nest. Later, because it risked its life to forcibly summon the Divine Realm, it wanted to die with everyone...

As a result, Shen Jie was severely invaded by the radiation from the divine realm, and the murderous intent in his body had to be used to resist the genetic assimilation invasion.

As the carrier of the will of the Zerg Hive, the divine realm contains the supreme divine power of the Zerg. It is not just about reproduction, but also includes the multiple artistic conception powers of the Spinal Zerg, the World Zerg, and even other alien races.

Any existence that is defeated by the Insect God and becomes one with Him after being devoured by Him will be melted and assimilated into a part of the God's realm.

It is for this reason that summoning the divine realm to descend has become the Queen Mother's final trump card, with a power comparable to that of a nuclear bomb explosion.

It is equivalent to the genetic self-destruction of biological assimilation.

Wherever the divine domain covers, it will be contaminated by genetic radiation, and all life will be transformed into deformed forms of Zerg flesh and blood.

So Shen Jie was a little worried. If he couldn't cut off the Queen Mother's neck vertebrae as quickly as Lin Feng and complete the decapitation...

It is likely to trigger a greater disaster, causing the brothers who assist him to be twisted and deformed into monsters.

Back in the main nest in the northwest of Yunxialing, Lin Feng put down the black box filled with supernatural organizations, then patted Shen Jie on the shoulder and explained comfortingly:

"Don't worry, beheading it will only cut off its possibility of summoning the divine realm. The final blow to kill the Queen Mother is to destroy its brain."

"I'll help you then."

"Moreover, the hardness and grade of that golden neck bone are much higher than any second-level Zerg material. It's a pity that there is no fresh queen mother corpse now. Otherwise, if you eat its brain or bone marrow..."

Before Lin Feng finished speaking, Ling Yi, who had opened the black box and taken out the test tube in front of the biological analysis nest, spoke:

"His ability requires the absorption of cerebrospinal fluid. The stem cells in it can extract the original genome, thereby stealing the mother queen's physical development genes."

"It is equivalent to obtaining the third-level cells of a third-level life form, but the Queen Mother's brain marrow, which contains the power of artistic conception, and the hardest brain marrow plate bones, cannot be replicated."

"The former cannot be replicated in large quantities, and the latter requires ten times the material of the tiger spine worm's giant jaws, and a huge amount of biomass, to condense a small piece."

As he spoke, Ling Yi looked at Lin Feng standing beside him:

"Although he cannot synthesize it himself, your ability can help, such as forging two golden bone blades and integrating them into his arms in advance."

Hearing the solution given by Long Yi, Lin Feng's eyes lit up. His particle control state of mind could indeed quickly melt and reshape all non-living things.

Especially the Queen Mother’s golden quality neck protector.

It just so happened that Lin Feng was planning to absorb one of the two queen mother's brains tonight.

So Lin Feng asked Shen Jie to wait a little longer and he went to the hatching pyramid.

Two amethyst brains and eighteen Zerg mother bodies are sealed and stored inside to ensure their freshness.

Before the trial starts tomorrow, Lin Feng will reward the best performing ones among the thirty-four participants with Zerg mother bodies to enhance their spiritual attribute values ​​and increase their chances of passing the artistic conception trial.

At this moment, with the control of Long Yi, a brain that made Jiang Yuner salivate came out from the fleshy pyramid.

Lin Feng slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on it.

A reminder immediately appeared in front of my eyes, asking whether to absorb it or not.

With a slight nod, a powerful spiritual energy flowed into Lin Feng's body from his brain.

In a short while, Lin Feng's spiritual attribute increased from the previous two thousand nine to three thousand four, breaking the limit.

When you step into level 33 next time, you will be able to reach the initial upper limit of level 3,900.

As his brain became clear and comfortable, Lin Feng's thinking became much faster.

At this moment, the brain structure has also evolved to keep up with the progress of the body. Otherwise, the speed at which an ordinary brain receives, processes and feeds back information will not be able to keep up with the supersonic burst of a third-level body.

After absorbing it, Lin Feng used the particles in his body to control his state of mind and began to melt the outer shell bones in his hand that protected his brain marrow.

At this time, Long Yi opened his mouth to remind:

"Remember to leave only a thin layer. Although the spiritual energy inside has been completely absorbed, the crystal structure that contains the spiritual power is still there. As long as you repeatedly inject high-level spiritual energy into it, it can be reactivated after a period of time."

Lin Feng nodded, and finally peeled off twenty cubic meters of golden-quality plate bones from it, leaving a thin outer layer of one centimeter thick.

Under the light of the fleshy pyramid, one can see the colorful geometric crystals inside this spherical brain with a diameter of two meters.

You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary product.

Once Ling Yi controlled the fleshy tentacle, he carefully sucked the unprotected brain back into the pyramid...

Lin Feng began to release the power of particle control, wrapping the entire cervical guard weighing hundreds of tons.

From it, two handleless blades, one and a half meters long and thirty centimeters wide, were forged.

And two ordinary standard-issue knives.

The former was absorbed and used by Shen Jie, and the latter was a birthday gift specially prepared by Lin Feng for Liu Yueqi. In a few days, it would be her eighteenth birthday.

If there is enough time and appropriate opportunity.

Lin Feng plans to help him advance to the third stage.

So as to add a left and right arm.

As for most of the remaining golden plate bones, Lin Feng integrated them into the colonization armor to enhance its basic performance strength and form a set of golden armor.

Everything was ready. The next morning, at dawn, Lin Feng brought Shen Jie and thirty-four genetic warriors to Beihe Town.

Following Qin Hu's hundreds of second-level gene warriors and tens of thousands of first-level awakeners, they set out for Yong'an River.

Kill the third-stage early queen there!
