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

Chapter 296: Supplies are trapped, late night killing operation!

"Where are they now?"

Lin Feng immediately asked, and the person who came to report was the manager of the communications department.

A former backbone of a communications technology company.

Under the gaze of the top bosses, the latter swallowed his saliva, wiped the sweat off his face and said:

"According to the news, the troops heading north for support are currently stranded in Hong County, north of Jincheng. There is a Hong Lake there that is comparable in size to Taihu Lake, and the area of ​​the water is as large as a county town."

"The team that arrived at the northern outskirts of Jincheng was a breakout and rescue team sent by Captain Liu Yi. There were only five of them."

"According to their report, there may be two third-stage mid-stage queens in Honghu Lake, and the Zerg under their command has tens of thousands of second-stage Zerg swarms..."

"And the low-level insect swarms are countless."

"They are now trapped north of the Huai River, which flows into Honghu Lake. They cannot cross the river safely and can only fight and retreat, and stay north of the Huai River..."

"We need a super fleet with more ferocious firepower to provide fire suppression, clear out the endless tide of insects near the river, and cover the large force crossing the river."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.

He knew that he couldn't hold back the second-order insect swarm alone. The problem with this team composed entirely of second-order awakeners was that they had a large amount of supplies to transport with them.

Including hundreds of second-level insect eggs, five extremely precious queen brains, and thick golden plate bones.

If there were only 280 members, even the queen mother in the late third stage would not be able to hold them back. Once the tiger-armored membrane wings opened, it would be easy for them to fly forty to fifty kilometers.

Mainly due to the materials weighing tens or hundreds of tons, they slowed down their pace of departure, and they could only rely on the large team of transport vehicles to drive on the highway and cross the bridges.

Seeing Lin Feng frowning slightly, Chen Yanyan stepped forward to explain:
"We have already wiped out most of the Zerg in Jiangbei."

"Yangcheng, northeast of Jincheng Base, has long been successfully recaptured. Not only was it taken back from the Zerg, but all the Zerg in Jinhu were also driven out..."

"It's a pity that their queen escaped last time. Now it seems that it has entered Honghu Lake in the north along several rivers."

At this time, Li Ran on the side had also taken out a detailed map of Jiangnan Prefecture and marked the above locations for everyone.

As a native of Haicheng, Lin Feng also has some understanding of the terrain of Jiangnan.

Over the past half month, as Jincheng base sent troops north several times to kill and expel the Zerg there, they have cleared the area within a hundred miles around Jincheng, and even took Yangcheng north of the Dajiang River into their possession.

However, as luck would have it, this move also drove the Zerg, which originally had its main nest in Jinhu Lake, to Honghu Lake, more than ten kilometers away.

Honghu Lake is the second largest lake in Jiangnan, second only to Taihu Lake near Wucheng. Jinhu Lake is only slightly smaller than Honghu Lake and ranks third.

According to Long Yi, these three large lakes can give birth to a third-stage mid-stage queen mother. Among them, Taihu Lake, which has the richest biological resources, can even allow her body to directly enter the mid-stage perfection realm.

Otherwise, the Queen Mother of Haicheng would not have launched a crazy and massive attack, even at all costs, risking being bombarded by nuclear bombs and emptying all her assets to launch successive insect swarms.

Now that Taihu Lake has stabilized, it also relies on the main body of Longyi to curb the pressure from Zhejiang Province in the south.

However, the rich biological resources in the northern part of Jiangnan Province are enough to give birth to two mid-stage queens.

It also indirectly led to the current dilemma.

However, a golden lake is not enough to support two middle-stage queen mothers to continue their development and evolution...

So when they found Shen Jie and others, they would definitely not let go of this delicious meal.

What's more, Shen Jie and his team were also transporting and protecting the most precious Queen Mother's brain.

By grabbing these five brains, the Zerg Queen, who has just entered the middle stage, can directly reach the middle stage perfection after absorbing them. There are also several human third-level strongmen in the sacrifice team.
Then, the sacrificial ritual can be completed, the will of the hive of the divine realm can be summoned, and the Mother of Life can send down the complete Zerg gene sequence...

Promoted to the third stage in one fell swoop,
Become one of the candidates for the fourth-level insect king!

Such a temptation, if Shen Jie's team didn't have a hydrogen bomb with a TNT equivalent of 300,000 to deter...

Lin Feng estimated that they had already been attacked by two mid-stage queens, who had personally taken action and were surrounded and intercepted by a large army of insects.

"This matter is not your responsibility. Go and notify all soldiers to assemble and prepare for battle!"

Lin Feng replied to Chen Yanyan, and then arranged the follow-up rescue mission:

"This time, the operation is close enough. Jincheng Base is only about 50 kilometers to the north. We can make a round trip within an hour. It can be used as a pre-war mobilization training!"

"Notify all 20 regiments to stand by. Ten will be the vanguard, five will be the rearguard, and the remaining five will be responsible for rotation and replacement. Let's conduct a large-scale actual combat training!"

As Li Ran and Chen Yanyan left, Lin Feng turned his gaze to Betty and Han Yuxin on the other side:

"This time, starting from the center of Jincheng Base, it's only a little over 100 kilometers to the battlefield. There shouldn't be much pressure on logistics supply, right?"

Betty and Han Yuxin looked at each other and nodded:
"No problem. We can use the waterway to transport supplies and weapons and equipment back and forth."

Lin Feng hummed:
"Go down and make preparations. Before the troops move, the food and fodder must go first. The most important thing for the expedition to the south is to keep up with the logistics!"

"Later, I will dispatch several second-level regiments that are on rotation to protect the logistics transportation lines. You can also select first-level awakeners from the Public Security Bureau to form a guard team."

After the two received the order and left, only Lin Feng and Long Yi were left.

"Has the main body's strength reached the mid-term perfection?"

Lin Feng asked slowly. He knew very well that after reading and analyzing the human superpower gene tree, Ling Yi would be able to independently cultivate a batch of warrior hunting insects, and then consume them to directly complete the sacrificial ceremony...

Thus promoted to the late third stage.

After arriving in Jincheng, Long Yi contacted the main body and learned the relevant situation:
"Yes, it has entered the middle stage of perfection. Now all it needs is the gene tree in our hands, or the flesh and blood tissue of several third-level awakeners of humans..."

"You will be able to successfully advance to the late third stage."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, without making any expression:
"What's your plan?"

Lingyi shrugged:

"Although I am its clone, I actually have my own independent consciousness after being promoted to the third stage."

"It can't remotely control my behavior, so there's no need to worry about raising a tiger that could cause harm."

"Besides, before the birth of the perfect mother queen of the third late stage, there is no need to promote it to the late stage. In other words, as long as my spiritual power is stronger than my body, then I, Lingyi, am the real body..."

"So next, I need the corpses of the queen mothers you killed, as well as the purple crystal brain marrow, to quickly improve my level and strength."

"Then control the main body to advance to the late stage. In this late stage mother queen battle, try to delay the birth of the fourth stage insect king!"

Lin Feng nodded, and Long Yi told him what he had been worried about.

The best way at the moment is to imprison the body of Lingyi in Taihu Lake, and wait until the day when it can play its greatest role.

Although it is necessary to be on guard against others, as a cooperative partner, Lin Feng still said politely:
"Don't worry, since you are determined to save the Zerg that are being used as war machines, then the throne of the fourth-order Zerg King must belong to you." "It's just that the situation is unclear now, so you can't use your hidden dragon. When the time is right, I will naturally support you with all my strength. First, advance to the latent third stage, and then defeat other competitors..."

"Finally ascend the throne and become the new fourth-order insect king!"

“Then we can continue to cooperate to save our people and civilizations.”

The corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted."

"I have sent the three boxes to the biological factory near the dock. Once this matter is dealt with, we can continue the research on advanced cells. We will strive to complete the cultivation of qualified electric drive cells within a week, and transplant them into the colonization mecha first to see the effect."

Lin Feng slowly stood up and walked to Long Yishen:

"No problem. Let's go. Two mid-stage queen mothers are enough for you to advance to the third-stage mid-stage, right?"

The scorpion nodded slightly:
"One is enough. The other one will be left to Miss Chen. She needs to improve her strength more than I do."

The two of them left the meeting hall, one in front and one behind.

By the time the two arrived at the square of the train station, tens of thousands of troops from the Jincheng base had already assembled.

Looking around, there were densely packed, neatly arranged rows of human heads.

A total of one thousand second-level combatants and thirty thousand first-level combatants, fully armed and ready to go.

In addition, on the railway tracks outside the square, there is a dreadnought and thirty flying wing tanks, carrying two hundred second-level awakeners.

This incident happened suddenly and it was an emergency battle. Lin Feng planned to lead ten old regiments equipped with replicas of armor-piercing guns and ten thousand soldiers to participate in the support rescue and attack missions.

Their weapons include replicas of armor-piercing cannons, shotguns, etc., which provide unlimited ammunition consumption and can save supplies.

As for the other ten second-tier regiments and 20,000 soldiers, they will remain at the Jincheng base to be on standby at any time and conduct rotation training.

Although Lin Feng has now been promoted to the middle stage of the third stage, driving a level 34 colonization armor, he can easily kill the Zerg Queen who is also in the middle stage of the third stage...

But this time the battle takes place in the south of the Yangtze River. The Queen Mother can easily dive six or seven hundred meters underground. In addition, with the cover of the water from Honghu Lake, it is not as simple and convenient to kill them directly as in the north.

Especially nuclear bombs, it is not so easy to detonate at close range and seriously injure the queen mother.

At the same time, the moist insect nest structure, with a large amount of groundwater and lake water pouring into it, will greatly reduce the burning sensation of the high temperature of the nuclear explosion and the intensity of the shock wave.

Therefore, in the south, when the Zerg Queen does not appear on the surface, nuclear bombs can only serve as a defensive nuclear deterrent rather than a real threat in an active attack.

Fortunately, Lin Feng already has the strength to kill the Queen Mother in the middle stage, so he doesn't have to worry about being helpless in the face of the Queen Mother when fighting underground.

At this time, half past seven, the army had assembled and integrated.

Lin Feng stood on the dreadnought, made a brief introduction and gave orders, then led the army and began to march north.

The super fleet, relying on its speed advantage, set off first, carrying members of five second-order regiments.

The fleet has a speed of 250 km per hour and can reach the Hong County battlefield 100 kilometers away in just 20 minutes.

In the dead of night, with no clouds in the sky and bright moonlight, a torrent of steel chariots was moving across the barren land.

Lin Feng and Long Yi were both in the dreadnought and saw the sound of gunfire coming from the other side of the river, as well as several bright blue and white magnetic bombs.

One after another, ball lightning turned into magnetic storm arcs and spread out, electrocuting and stunning the insect swarms within hundreds of meters.

At this moment, Shen Jie and others were trapped in a small town on the other side of the Huai River five kilometers away by countless swarms of insects. Relying on the remaining residential buildings for cover, they stubbornly fought off the insect attacks again and again.

The mid-stage queen behind the Zerg tide knew that she couldn't kill this group of powerful human troops in a short period of time, so she planned to use the numerical advantage of the Zerg tide to kill them all here.

At that time, you will either give up the insect eggs and the queen's brain in your hand, or die together with them.

But obviously, they did not expect that the real person in charge of Jincheng Base, City Lord Lin Feng, has returned in his prime!
If they knew that Lin Feng had killed two mid-stage perfect queen mothers in the north, and was promoted to the mid-stage third stage, and that he also had an army of tens of thousands of awakened ones...

I will never make such a suicidal decision.

Not only would it expose his own existence, but it would also bring trouble upon himself and become Lin Feng's next target.

At this moment, the entire super fleet, dreadnought battleships and thirty tanks drove into the battlefield five kilometers away...

They lined up in a row, forming a high wall of firepower.

At Chen Yanyan's command,
Suddenly, there was a burst of artillery fire!

Hundreds of artillery shells, with bright yellow burning trails of smoke, rushed towards the insect swarm ten miles away.

On the fertile farmland cultivated by humans, blooming fireballs burst into bloom, releasing shock waves and producing sonic boom effects, the sound of bang bang bang resounding throughout the entire battlefield.

Lin Feng then took Long Yi with him and flew into the air.

Ling Yi released the perfect aura of the initial stage of the third order, and immediately dispersed the swarm of green-winged insects and wind-winged insects hovering above his head.

After arriving at the town, Lin Feng saw a level 34 colony mecha that had entered sentinel guard mode and was using the ion laser cannon mounted on its left arm to attack flying Zergs in the air.

Fortunately, we left it in the accompanying team, otherwise, if a large number of green-winged insects and wind-winged insects dropped suicide insects from the air and carried out bombing, it would be really hard to defend against under the cover of night.

It will distract the already understaffed team.

Lin Feng walked forward, waved his hand, and put away the full body armor mode of the golden armor on his body. The colonial mecha, which received the order, immediately opened the hatch, welcomed its master, and entered combat status.

As everything was debugged and the reserve energy was fully loaded, Lin Feng directly waved the six-winged membranous wings behind him and started the flight mode.

He flew to the sky above the forefront of the battlefield and cooperated with Longyi who had entered the Queen Mother to disperse the rolling tide of insects that kept emerging, and opened a gap for Shen Jie and others behind him to cross the Huai River and pass safely.

Facing the insect swarm and the heat wave of artillery fire...

The group stepped on the insect corpses that were piled up for several meters and came to the south of Hong County, where they successfully reunited with the super fleet.

The Zerg army behind them saw the human army escape, and the consumption plan had already failed...

After receiving orders from the middle-stage queen behind them, they fled in all directions.

It retreated into Honghu Lake like a tide.

However, it is easy to come, but it is not so easy to leave!
After the transported materials were successfully removed from the battlefield, Lin Feng led Shen Jie and others back to the north of the Huai River.

A group of seven third-level warriors, led by hundreds of second-level combat team members, attacked towards Huaicheng, the largest city in the central part of Jiangnan Province, on the east side of Honghu Lake!

And there, two middle-stage queens were quietly staying deep in the underground insect nest, discussing how to deal with it...

This impending life-and-death crisis!
