Chapter 174 Ling Shuyan, Han Yuxin, Betty, Liu Yueqi

"I wonder how far the research progress of the genetic warriors has progressed?"

As Lin Feng continued to ask.

Soon, Ling Shuyan's voice came from the other side of the phone. Compared with the previous sharpness and maturity, her low tone at this moment revealed a strong sense of fatigue and confusion.

Fortunately, she woke up quickly, and the answer she said did not disappoint Lin Feng:

"Uh... progress... good, good!"

"We can already carry out surgical transformation in batches. The success rate of genetic transformation of first-level awakeners has reached 70%, and the success rate of second-level awakeners is as high as over 95%. The resistance and tolerance of the second-level awakeners are higher, so I suggest that if you want to ensure the survival rate, you should wait until the soldiers enter the second level before considering surgical transformation..."

Lin Feng nodded:

"No problem. Even if the first-level awakeners are transformed, the improvement of their physical attributes is extremely limited."

"When facing a large insect tide, it is also difficult to have much effect, and their mental attributes are not high, so they are easily assimilated and lose themselves."

Ling Shuyan hummed twice, with a hint of joy and relief, quite agreeing.

Compared to her other partner, Lin Feng obviously understands and respects scientific facts more, but the situation in Qin Hu is more serious than in the south, and there is not so much room for choice.

The two are not comparable.

The battle to defend the federal capital is imminent.

According to the news from the front line, several satellite cities on the outer ring of the capital, which have been transformed into military fortresses, have already fought fierce wars with the Zerg vanguard.

The entire battle line is more than 100 kilometers long, and the number of frontline soldiers is as high as 400,000 to 500,000, and this is just the initial test of the Zerg.

Once the human resistance is assessed, the next round of Zerg tide offensive will become more fierce.

After all, it is a joint attack of more than eight queens, and this terrifying joint force is enough to wipe out millions of human troops.

Wherever they go, it is like a locust crossing the border, leaving no grass...

So Qin Hu is so anxious to arrange the surgery, and it is also forced by the reality.

As for Lin Feng, his power is enough to deal with one or two Zerg queens, and there are only four in the entire Jiangnan Province. No more than three will take Jincheng as their target.

Combined with genetic modification and the installation of chainsaw swords, the strength of the army controlled by Lin Feng is estimated to be able to crush the Zerg queen soon.

In addition, they have a strategic depth of more than 1,000 kilometers behind the mainland. They fight and retreat at the same time, constantly consume the enemy's manpower and strengthen themselves...

In the future, they will definitely become a powerful force that cannot be ignored in the human resistance organization!

Compared with Qin Hu who chose to go north and bet everything on one throw, Lin Feng obviously has higher future potential.

This is also an important reason why Ling Shuyan chose to stay.

Qin Hu is a short-term investment with high risk and high return, while Lin Feng is a long-term investment with low risk.

Thinking of this, Ling Shuyan asked:

"If we only transform the second-level awakeners, it will be much simpler..."

"You seem to have only a few second-level awakeners. When will they come for surgery?"

Lin Feng's mouth corners slightly raised:

"Just a few? That was three or four days ago. Now there are more than one."

"There are already more than one hundred second-level awakeners. They will form a second-level army and go deep into the underground insect nest with me to complete the task of killing the queen mother, so as to completely annihilate the Jiangnan insect race!"

After speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.

Ling Shuyan stared at the mobile phone on the desk, her brain was temporarily down, and she didn't have time to wipe off the saliva that flowed from the corners of her mouth when she was sleeping.

When she heard Lin Feng say that there were more than one hundred second-level awakeners, she was deeply shocked, and when the speaker of the mobile phone turned on, Lin Feng's plan and arrangements came,

Even though Ling Shuyan had most of the information, she was stunned by Lin Feng's indifferent decision.

Because of her understanding of the Zerg, she knew better than anyone how difficult it was to go deep into the underground Zerg nest and fight to the death with the Zerg.

For the awakened ones, the three-level Zerg nest alone was like three steep mountains that were getting higher and higher and insurmountable.

And to attack the ground 500 meters below the ground, find the nest where the queen was, and kill the other party under the close protection of the second-level Zerg, it was simply a fantasy!

After Qin Hu became a gene warrior and gained powerful combat power, he also looked for Ling Shuyan to evaluate whether the awakened ones in the late second stage could go deep into the Zerg nest to complete the decapitation plan of the queen...

However, Ling Shuyan, who was familiar with the ecological structure of the Zerg, gave only one answer, absolutely impossible.

Because the high-level queen mother can serve as the commander of the Zerg swarm, relying not only on the advantages of size and strength, but also on their powerful mental control ability.

The queen mother can command a large number of second-level Zerg, and it is bound to affect the second-level gene warriors.

Therefore, the task of killing the Queen Mother can only be entrusted to the pure awakened ones who have not been transformed, and their strength is unlikely to pose a fatal threat to the Queen Mother.

This is a contradiction that cannot be resolved at present.

In Ling Shuyan's cognition, no awakened one has the strong strength to kill the Queen Mother alone!

Unless the gene warriors can enter the third stage, but except for the Zerg Queen Mother, no other high-level Zerg have been found anywhere in the world.

Of course, if the cutting-edge weapons of mankind are added to the deduction of the decapitation plan.

For example, a micro-nuclear bomb with a TNT equivalent of tens of thousands.

A death squad rushed into the underground mother nest under the cover of other team members, and fought hard just to die with the queen mother...

Then there is still a chance of success.

However, doing so will cause greater losses to the human side!

At least thousands of first-level awakeners are needed, and more than a hundred second-level awakeners are needed to deal with an ordinary mother queen in the early stage of the third level, in order to have more than a 50% chance of success.

And to bury so many elite warriors in this mission that is bound to be a one-way mission, neither the awakeners who were recruited nor the commander who executed the plan would be stupid enough to issue such an order.

That's why Ling Shuyan found Lin Feng's bold words unbelievable.

She thought that the other party was just daydreaming.

After nearly half a minute of silence, Ling Shuyan said abruptly:

"Are you dreaming!?"

"Gene warriors simply cannot display their strength after assimilation in front of the Queen Mother. The higher the degree of integration of Zerg genes, the more they will be like tiger-spine worms, and they will be powerless in front of the Queen Mother!"

"If you want to rely on genetic modification to let these more than 100 second-level awakeners help you complete the Queen Mother's beheading plan, I can tell you responsibly that it is absolutely impossible!"

The other party's sudden harsh words startled Lin Feng, but after he heard Ling Shuyan's warning, he said calmly:

"Don't worry, I know this better than you . "

"We have already made a detailed plan, and I will personally take on the task of killing the Queen Mother."

"As for the more than one hundred second-level awakeners, not all of them will undergo genetic modification. Only those with high spiritual attributes and personal willingness will be arranged for surgery."

"Even so, there are probably thirty or forty people."

"You should be prepared. If you need anything, just go to my subordinate, Miss Han Yuxin. She is now the director of Jincheng City and can mobilize people to help you find the medical supplies you need."

Seeing that the other party was confident, Ling Shuyan wanted to persuade him a few more times, but Lin Feng's tone was full of unquestionable firmness and decisiveness.

After hesitating for a moment, she agreed:

"Okay. When will you come?"

Lin Feng looked at the clock in the conference room and it was already seven in the morning:

"I'll be there tomorrow afternoon."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Ling Shuyan, who was completely awake, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the phone was hung up. Then she raised her hands, stretched her waist, straightened her towering chest, slid her chair, and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

Several research institutes of Jincheng Research Institute have followed the Jiangnan Zhouli Guard Team and retreated to Huizhou in the west. The guards who were originally responsible for security have also been replaced by Han Yuxin's men.

Although their equipment is simple, they are more powerful, and they are all awakened.

At this moment, this group of people are patrolling back and forth near the Biological Research Institute. It is more like squatting and monitoring than guarding.

Ling Shuyan has no objection to this.

In troubled times, researchers can only play their own value by relying on powerful large forces. Otherwise, their status and treatment are even worse than ordinary soldiers.

And the fact that I can advance the research progress so quickly is also thanks to the experimental subjects sent by Miss Han.

A large number of survivors in Jincheng, as well as the leaders of those gangs, especially the latter, are generally awakened, and the worst are late-stage enhanced people.

These are all rare and excellent experimental subjects.

Most of the people sent here have committed many evil deeds in the last two months of the apocalypse, and have killed many people. Using them for experiments and contributing to human resistance to the Zerg invasion has no moral burden or psychological pressure at all.

Ling Shuyan was so excited to receive so many living experimental subjects at once, and she got the precious original gene from Lin Feng. She didn't sleep for several days. If it weren't for the strong physical fitness of the awakened to support her, she would have died suddenly on the operating table.

Just before Lin Feng called, she was lying on the table and fell asleep because she hadn't slept all night.

Now a new task is coming.

Ling Shuyan rubbed her face and forced herself to cheer up.

It's time to prove the value of the institute to Lin Feng, the employer!

On the other side, after Lin Feng hung up the phone, he immediately dialed Han Yuxin's number.

A week ago, with the help of dozens of first-level peak awakeners and a large number of auxiliary soldiers who had retired, Han Yuxin successfully cleared the gang forces trapped in the urban area of ​​Jincheng.

After recovering most of the areas, he began to collect materials according to Lin Feng's instructions, mainly raw materials needed for replication and synthesis such as refined steel.

At the same time, he recruited people willing to join the auxiliary soldiers among the survivors to supplement the logistics force.

To feed the tens of thousands of people who suddenly increased, more manpower is needed to catch resources in Taihu Lake and its tributaries, and at the same time, it is necessary to start developing fishery resources in the big rivers flowing through the urban area of ​​Jincheng.

There are more than ten thousand manpower shortages in this part.

In addition, fortifications must be built inside the urban area to make full preparations in advance for the upcoming Jincheng War.

Han Yuxin, who had only managed thousands of people at most, obviously felt that he was unable to do it.

This is different from the army that can obey orders unconditionally. The organization and execution of soldiers is much higher than that of civilians.

How to effectively manage the survivors and select and place middle and lower-level managers has become the biggest problem that troubles Han Yuxin.

The previous chaotic and brutal gang organization had no rules and order at all, and naturally had no reference value.

The original voting conference model implemented by the federation is obviously no longer suitable for the current situation.

Nowadays, most survivors even regard themselves as an official organization and want to seek free food and shelter, and ask for vehicles to be sent back to the rear.

Most of these survivors who chose to stay at the beginning of the apocalypse are opportunists, disadvantaged and even "mentally retarded" groups, and most of them are stubborn, middle-aged, elderly and women.

Their quality level is already low, and it is even more difficult to manage them well.

Now during the phone call with Lin Feng, Han Yuxin vomited her bitterness and complained a lot.

Lin Feng smiled after hearing this. He had already expected this, so he prepared a reasonable solution in advance when the apocalypse broke out.

That is to accept his exiled royal family:

Princess Betty and the forces behind her.

The Luolai Kingdom, as one of the few countries on the Blue Star that still maintains a feudal autocratic state, is extremely lucky to survive because of the special attributes of a small country and the establishment of the modern international order.

Although they have tried to make changes over the years, such as establishing a cabinet to govern the country and make the kingdom progressive and prosperous, the king's dominance is still unquestionable.

Therefore, Lin Feng valued the ministers and attendants who followed her more than the gold that Princess Betty brought into the Federation.

The management wisdom of these people is more applicable in the end of the world than Han Yuxin and others who were nurtured by freedom under federal education.

They don't treat people as human beings.

Although it sounds cruel, in this precarious situation, trying to survive is the only goal.

"It's time for Betty to come over. I guess she can't wait for a long time."

Han Yuxin hesitated for a moment with dark circles under her eyes, and finally agreed:

"It's possible, but we can't let them fully accept our management system for the time being, otherwise it will be easy for them to lose their tail in the future, and there will be endless troubles..."

Lin Feng nodded and agreed very much:

"That is natural. We can only give them the deputy position and be responsible for the formulation, adoption and implementation of specific regulations. The power remains in our hands."

"But don't worry, as long as the frontline soldier system is still there, they won't be able to make any big waves. But if we let them serve us loyally, Betty will definitely become my partner and a member of the Supreme Council in the future."

Han Yuxin pinched her eyebrows. This was exactly what she was worried about.

Betty is not like Chen Yanyan. The value they can provide to Lin Feng has some overlap.

Before being threatened, Han Yuxin must stabilize her position.

Power is only responsible for its source.

Han Yuxin knew very well how to obtain a solid guarantee of status.

And Lin Feng is not stupid. Even if he marries Princess Betty to stabilize the rear, he will not let her family dominate. His own existence can form an effective check and balance.

Confederate survivors also need people who can "really" represent them.

Thinking of this, Han Yuxin narrowed her eyes slightly and softened her tone:

"When will we come to collect the fine steel? I'll send someone to the Wucheng camp."

Lin Feng shrugged:

"Don't waste fuel resources. Concentrate resources on the transportation of fish and meat and ensure the supply of food. As long as you can eat enough, there will be no chaos for the time being."

"I'll go there myself."

"We will set off early tomorrow morning. We also need to lead the second-order legion members to the Laoshan Research Institute on the other side of the river. We will just inspect the situation in Jincheng City and synthesize the fine steel on the spot. By the way, you will receive it from Ding Chenghai. How are the arrangements for the technicians who came? "

Han Yuxin nodded:

"There are about six people left in the Weapons Research Institute. They are all young people. Either their relatives were killed in the insect wave, or they want to exchange for the opportunity to kill the black spine insects and become stronger. In short, the arrangements have been made."

"They are now in the steel factory in the south of the city, responsible for leading apprentices and continuing to process and manufacture chain swords."

"Before Ding Chenghai left, he left behind three chain swords. I am preparing to send them to the front line."

Lin Feng hummed:

"Let them start work as soon as possible, expand production, increase production first, and then consider quality. Don't send those three chain swords. I will get them all back tomorrow."

"Is there anything else? If not, let's get busy first."

Han Yuxin thought for a moment and then slowly said:

"Yesterday we were on the way to expand to the north of the city..."

"Get a message."

"About that female high school student back then."

Lin Feng frowned slightly, thinking of the girl he met at the beginning of the apocalypse, and Liu Yueqi's tenacity and bravery were still vivid in his mind.

"Still alive?"

Han Yuxin nodded:

"Yes. I heard from the gang leader who was captured by us that in a remote town in the north of the Yangtze River, there is still a granary that has not been cleared and transported away. There is a group of forces entrenched there."

"The leader is a girl holding a long knife. Her knife skills can even split bullets directly."

"There are not many swords that can cut bullets, and there are also few people who are only good at close combat. I think it should be Liu Yueqi."

Lin Feng hummed:

"Then don't do anything yet, wait until I come over tomorrow."

After that, hang up the phone.

Han Yuxin on the other side immediately showed a smile of success.

The news about Liu Yueqi is naturally true.

But the last reason mentioned by Han Yuxin was not Liu Yueqi himself.

But it was to allow Lin Feng to stay in Jincheng for more time, instead of coming and going in a hurry like many times before.

I have been unable to find a suitable reason to have an in-depth face-to-face communication.

If Lin Feng wants to go to the north of the city to search for Liu Yueqi...

The opportunity will naturally come.

…………

After Lin Feng hung up the phone, it was more than nine o'clock in the morning.

Then he left the meeting room and returned to the dreadnought.

At this moment, Chen Yanyan has successfully entered level 26 after harvesting a large number of second-level insect eggs.

It will only take a while to advance to the late second level.

The speed of small-level promotion within the stage is very fast. Even the three stages of the primary, middle and late stages only take about ten minutes. Unlike the leap-level upgrade, the fastest one takes more than an hour. For those with special abilities, the time for deep awakening will only be longer, and there will be certain dangers.

Seeing that Chen Yanyan was concentrating on the upgrade, Lin Feng did not disturb her too much, and instead prepared to find Lingyi to discuss the specific plan of the beheading plan.

This guy secretly contacted the Queen Mother of the North, who was allied with the Queen Mother of Haicheng, in the depths of the underground insect nest in Jiangbei.

The covenant can only restrict the two from attacking each other.

And the deadline is shortly after the Wucheng defenders are broken. Once the Wucheng defense line is completely lost, both sides can enter Taihu Lake and fish according to their own abilities.

Although the Queen Mother of Jiangbei has the advantage of first move and can enter Taihu Lake first, this advantage will definitely not last too long.

In the future, the Queen Mother of Haicheng will be promoted to the perfection of the third stage and have millions of insect swarms.

How can the existence of the Queen Mother of Jiangbei be tolerated?

This is the entry point that Longyi grasped.

They are all Queen Mothers in the early stage of the third stage. They cooperated in advance, made friends with distant countries and attacked nearby countries, and realized mutual protection between the north and the south.

And Longyi can use this to learn the specific route of the Queen Mother of Jiangbei and provide valuable information for Lin Feng.

Thinking about the details of the decapitation plan, Lin Feng just walked out of the dreadnought battleship and met Shen Jie beside the ship.

Looking at the other party's hesitant look, the sorrow between his eyebrows was even more evident.

Lin Feng walked up and patted his shoulder:

"What happened... Tell me!"

Next month, I will update 200,000 words. 6k a day as a minimum.

This way, I can reach a million words in June, and then consider finishing.

The Milky Way chapter is almost done, and the cosmic war of the supercluster will be left for the next book.

Roughly sort out the map:

Blue planet land and ocean, Earth-Moon system, star system, the four spiral arms of the Milky Way, the local galaxy cluster, the supercluster, and the boundless universe.
