Chapter 248: Chapter 154: A Victorious First Battle, Ling Yi is Moved, and Entering the Hive Again
’If Lin Feng were to reach Tier Three, every Mother Empress in the world would be in danger. Even if a Tier Three King Spine Zerg were dispatched from the deepest underground High-tier Zerg Race incubation center, it would be incredibly difficult to kill him. Lin Feng was a slippery target, able to fight, flee, and move as he pleased. At that point, if they worked together, Lin Feng could absolutely help me reach the Tier Three Late Stage, or even become the next Tier Four Zerg King... It’s not impossible!’
By now, Lin Feng had fully recovered. The drop in his condition from synthesizing five hundred sets of Red Profound Armor in one go had been restored during the midday break.
Among the other Warriors, many Ninth-level Enhanced People in good condition had used the three-to-four-hour break to successfully complete their initial Upgrade and Awakening.
Of the final five hundred, over two hundred became newly minted Level 10 Awakeners, instantly bolstering the team’s strength considerably.
Lin Feng then gave the order:
"Move out! Head to the Underground Zerg Nest in the city center!"
He then turned to Ling Yi, who was staring blankly into space, and said with a smile:
"Lead the way. We need to find a Wormhole that’s easy to defend and hard to attack. We’ll deal a heavy blow to this reckless Mother Empress, crippling her so she can’t participate in the siege of Wu City."
Her train of thought broken, Ling Yi snapped back to reality. She quickly looked up and stammered her reply:
"Huh? Oh... okay! Right away!"
She then took Lin Feng by the hand, walked out in front, and pointed toward a location behind the city.
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, sensing something wasn’t quite right.
’Ling Yi had suddenly become so proactive. Before, even though she’d been following the team, she’d always acted like she was just a tourist along for the show.’
’This one-eighty caught Lin Feng off guard.’
Sensing how slowly the person behind her was moving, Ling Yi turned her head and urged him on:
"What are you staring at? Let’s get moving! It’s after one, and we’ve got big plans for today!"
Lin Feng shrugged and picked up his pace to follow her.
Their confidence soaring after receiving the new Battle Armor, the Warriors followed the Awakeners out of the smoke-filled hotel.
Back on the ring road highway, the seven-hundred-strong contingent marched with imposing momentum, brimming with the will to fight. They moved through the heart of Zerg-occupied territory as if it were their own!
Along the way, Lin Feng used his Mind Sensing several times, but unfortunately, all the nearby Zerg had gone into hiding. They either kept a distance of four or five kilometers from the group or concealed themselves deep underground.
Just like the Hai City Mother Empress, it had realized it couldn’t defeat this team of Human Awakeners and opted to avoid a direct confrontation.
It wanted to draw the battle into the Underground Wormholes to negate the soldiers’ advantage in firepower.
However, this played right into Lin Feng’s hands.
The primary objective of this operation wasn’t the Low-tier Zerg Race on the surface, but the masses of Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs and the precious Tier Two Zerg Eggs within the Hive.
With the Zerg Race no longer launching harassing attacks, the contingent of seven hundred Warriors quickly arrived outside a Wormhole entrance.
Unfortunately, it was located in a large plaza with no nearby buildings to use as cover. Furthermore, after a Mind Sensing sweep, he confirmed there was no Third-Level Hive inside or nearby.
Lin Feng had Ling Yi lead them to the next location.
After wandering through the city for half an hour, they finally found a five-meter-wide entrance right next to the Ring River.
It was situated near a riverside residential complex, surrounded on all sides by old, six-story apartment buildings.
Though dilapidated, they would serve perfectly as temporary bunkers to hold off a Swarm. They were more than enough to handle harassment from some Low-tier Zerg Race or even a few Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs.
The Warriors had a total of two hundred Level 19 Scatter Cannons. As Replicas of the Electromagnetic Cannon, there was no way the melee-only Tiger Spine Zergs could break through their web of firepower unless the Zerg Race sent out Pulse War Scorpions or Tank Flame Armors.
After giving his instructions, Lin Feng led the Tier Two Corps squad into the sloping maw of the Wormhole, with Ling Yi accompanying them as the team’s researcher.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Ling Yi explained:
"When a Zerg Race Mother Empress produces Zerg Eggs, it consumes a massive amount of water. The incubation process for Tier Two Zerg Eggs also requires fresh water to be mixed in as a nutrient solution."
"Beneath this Wormhole, which serves for ventilation, there’s definitely an incubating Biological Nest. I just don’t know if the Zerg Eggs inside are Tier Two or just common ones."
The words had barely left her lips when Lin Feng, walking at the very front, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He whispered:
"Shh!"
"They’re here!"
"A Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg Swarm!"
