Chapter 195: Planting a nuclear bomb to destroy the second-order wind-wing insect
Just as the Wucheng defense line was actively preparing for war, a truck loaded with supplies and equipment, followed by a dozen troop carriers, slowly drove out of the camp and headed north.

Lin Feng sat in the front jeep, driving while discussing the details of the ambush with Long Yi in the passenger seat.

Hearing Lin Feng talking about the subway line from Xicheng above Wucheng that runs through the big river and Taihu Lake, and the logical inference that the Queen Mother of Jiangbei might take a shortcut to sneak into Taihu Lake, Lingyi was surprised for a moment...

Then he nodded in sudden realization:
"That's right, that's right!"

"The subway station is deep enough, but the space is a little small. But with the Scarlet Beetles, we can dig down and widen it."

"The most difficult part of digging the underground main road is how to remove the mud and rubble along the way, after all, the space underground is limited."

"Either you dig multiple breathing and excretion holes along the way, or you go back and forth from the starting point but the distance is long. In short, if you don't take these into consideration, the excavation speed can be two or three times faster."

At this time, Longyi took out his mobile phone, unlocked it skillfully and opened the map app.

She has become very adapted to human technological tools.

After some point selection and measurement, the conclusion is drawn:

"From the cross-river bridge to Taihu Lake, the straight-line distance of Metro Line 1 is only 60 kilometers. As long as tens of thousands of scarlet beetles are mobilized, a large insect tunnel 50 meters wide can be dug in about ten hours, which is enough for the Jiangbei Queen Mother to travel light and reach Taihu Lake."

"When the decisive battle in Wucheng breaks out, it will definitely land in Jiangnan without stopping and settle in Taihu Lake as quickly as possible, and at the same time send its second-level tiger spine insects here."

"In this way, we can take advantage of the speed of the waterway to double-team the Queen Mother of Haicheng."

"If the human defenders lose, they will take the opportunity to land and cut off our retreat. At the same time, they will devour a large number of human awakeners and obtain biological resources that have entered the middle stage of the third stage."

"If the Queen Mother of Haicheng fails to conquer it after a long time, it can also be sold at a high price and bargain with the one in Haicheng to get more land in Taihu Lake."

"So no matter what the outcome of the Wucheng decisive battle is, it can just sit back and watch, and reap the greatest benefits."

Lin Feng nodded. It was precisely because he could gain such great strategic initiative and benefits as long as he moved into Taihu Lake first that he firmly believed that the Queen Mother of Jiangbei would definitely choose the subway as a fast route.

However, there was a word in Long Yi's analysis that caught his attention:

"The light travel you just mentioned is another form of the Zerg Queen?"

Ling was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement:

"Yes."

"Didn't you see the Queen Mother of Haicheng breaking out of the ground while you were escaping from Haicheng? But in fact, the huge beast you saw was not the Queen Mother herself, but a large biological nest that was loaded with it, storing the barracks of the insect swarm."

"It's the two rows of pipes that spray out black-backed insects and green-winged insects. The entire back half is actually just the queen mother's reserve energy. Once it is damaged, it can absorb the life energy in the insect eggs and repair its own injuries."

"Without this, the queen mother's body is only about 50 meters tall, and the 200-meter-long tail will gradually shrink, presenting a teardrop shape with a large head and a small body."

"Without the burden of the mother nest, its movement speed will be dozens of times faster, and it may be able to reach Taihu Lake faster."

After listening to this, Lin Feng was thoughtful.

Come to think of it, when I first met the Queen Mother of Haicheng, I assessed that her health value was over 10,000, which was obviously inconsistent with the thousand-level value of a third-order life form.

Now it seems that it relies on the biological mother nest connected to the back to add ten thousand life attributes.

In the battle at the Jiangbei underground insect nest, the node queen that everyone encountered in the hatching nest was a weakened version of the carrier queen, with extremely high health points but low mobility.

If the Queen Mother of Jiangbei had adopted a strategy of traveling light and abandoned the tortoise shell behind her, the lethality of the nuclear bomb explosion would easily kill her by mistake.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng then asked:

"If only its main body came, like an ordinary third-order life form, would it not be able to withstand the nuclear bomb explosion and die immediately?"

"If that happens, I have to control the timing of the nuclear bomb explosion to avoid accidental killing."

Ling Yi shook her head. No one understood the Queen Mother better than she did.

"Impossible. The power of the nuclear bomb will be partially absorbed by the Scarlet Beetles, and the Queen Mother's reaction speed is also fast enough to avoid the center of the nuclear explosion. At most, she will be seriously injured."

"Don't forget that the high-level queen's bloated body is covered with armor comparable to that of a peak tiger spine worm, and it is more than two meters thick. Especially its head, there are multiple layers of protective shells under dozens of eyes to ensure the safety of the central insect brain of the entire insect swarm."

With Long as a guarantor, Lin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

His goal is not just to kill the Queen Mother, but to use the equipment at hand to complete the final kill, so as to obtain both equipment and personal upgrades.

While the two were talking, the team arrived at Xicheng, located northwest of Wucheng.

Xicheng is sandwiched between Changcheng and Wucheng. It is also one of the developed cities in Jiangnan Prefecture, and many tourist parks have been built around Taihu Lake.

After entering the city, Lin Feng immediately activated his telepathy to confirm whether there were any scouts sent by the Queen Mother of Jiangbei.

At the side, Lingyi was also using his powerful senses to collect pheromones floating in the air.

After confirming that there was no scout team, Lin Feng immediately ordered them to stop outside the city and walk deeper into the city to avoid the vibration of the wheels alerting the Zerg.

Thirty second-level warriors, including four late-stage second-level captains and twenty-six ordinary second-level members, equipped with lv19 shotguns and tiger-tooth chainswords of lv24 or above.

Coupled with the orange tiger armor all over their bodies, the combat effectiveness of this group of second-level regiments is not inferior to that of the genetic regiment.

Then, Lin Feng asked Li Ran to carefully select 300 first-order late-stage soldiers, armed with shotguns, to cover everyone and kill their way into the underground to hunt down the Queen Mother.

In order to avoid exposing her whereabouts and ensure safety throughout the journey, the Queen Mother of Jiangbei will definitely control all the second-level tiger-spine insects under her command to march together.

Long Yi estimated that the other party had at least three hundred tiger-backed insects under their command, and most of them would be traveling on the surface.

The second-order tiger spine worm moves very fast, reaching a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour.

Once the queen mother is attacked by a nuclear bomb, they will definitely come to rescue her in a short time.

By then, there must be troops on the surface to block their rescue, and three hundred first-order late-stage awakeners armed with shotguns are enough to form fire suppression.

Their strength also allows the shotgun to achieve its maximum firing rate, and the fierce recoil will not make it difficult to sustain firepower output.

At the same time, letting them kill tiger-spine worms can maximize the use of resources, allowing them to naturally advance to second-order awakeners and reduce the consumption of second-order insect eggs.

Soon, under the leadership of Lin Feng and Long Yi, everyone carefully groped their way forward and found Metro Line 1 in the center of Xicheng.

From the office building in the city's CBD, overlooking the desolate Cross Square.

Because the entire city was evacuated and the buildings were left empty, the subway in the city was not filled with cement and was not completely sealed.

As soon as Long saw the subway sign at the intersection and the subway entrances and exits at the four corners, he recalled the roadside signs he saw when he and Lin Feng were driving north in Jincheng.

Obviously Lin Feng had noticed this a long time ago, and used it to infer the route of the Queen Mother of Jiangbei, and thus formulated the entire ambush plan.

With this in mind, she took out her phone and zoomed in on the map of the entire Xicheng, taking in the entire Line 1:

"Which platform should we set up our ambush?"

Lin Feng was well prepared:

"There are three stations on Line 1, which overlap and intersect with other lines, so you can transfer."

"As long as we place nuclear bombs in these three places, we will have three options from top to bottom."

"We are now at the third transfer station in the south, the Civic Center Station, which is close to Taihu Lake."

"I have arranged the personnel and placed the nuclear bomb in a secret location at the bottom floor. As long as the Queen Mother approaches, she will be taken down in one fell swoop."

After he finished speaking, the intercom hanging on the chest of Lin Feng's Flying Tiger Armor received a notification from the regiment leader:

"Report, the black box has been placed!"

Lin Feng pressed the reply button:
"Assign two people to guard, and the rest will follow me to the next transfer station."

After saying that, he took Longyi and the rest of the team members to Xicheng Railway Station in the north of the city.

The running distance of more than ten kilometers is not worth mentioning at all for a team whose members are at least late-stage first-level awakeners.

After a quick march, it took only ten minutes to reach the destination. The huge train station was empty.

After the nuclear bomb is planted, there is only one last stop left.

At this time, Longyi had already smelled the scent of red beetles in the air, coming from the outskirts of Xicheng further north.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lin Feng planned to bring only thirty second-level combat group members to this last stop, leaving three hundred combat soldiers to guard the train station and act according to circumstances.

The explosion of a nuclear bomb underground can produce a shock similar to that of a magnitude 3 or 4 earthquake, which is particularly strong within a radius of more than ten kilometers.

When the three hundred soldiers sense it, they will come to support.

When Lin Feng led the second-level battle group to the last transfer station, traces of red beetles had already appeared in the suburban woods not far away.

Fortunately, everyone was in a sheltered place, and the closed tiger armor they were wearing exuded the scent of Zerg, so their whereabouts were not exposed.

Lin Feng asked them to hide in the residential building, and then he and Long Yi sneaked into the subway to test the situation.

"The mental networks on these scarlet beetles are very weak. They should just be frontline scouts sent by the Queen Mother to investigate the enemy situation and explore the route."

"But this place is thirty kilometers away from the river port, so the Queen Mother of Jiangbei has probably heard the news and landed at the edge of Xicheng."

Longyi walked in front to lead the way, then turned back and whispered the situation to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, observing his surroundings at all times:
"It is better to place the nuclear warhead here sooner rather than later. The further we go, the greater the risk of exposure. I think by the time it gets here, it will probably be afternoon."

The scorpion nodded slightly:
"This is almost in the middle of the entire subway line, which is a perfect place to ambush it. When the time comes, remember to send a team of people to go around the back and block it at the platform in front to prevent it from escaping back into the river."

Lin Feng agrees with this:

"It's better to move a little further north, so that the Queen Mother of Haicheng won't have time to take care of this. Maybe she's too busy to handle this, so you can smoothly take over the entire insect swarm under the Queen Mother of Jiangbei."

As he said this, Lin Feng glanced at Long Yi who turned back:

"By then, you will have control over two swarms of insects. Your main body should be able to enter the middle stage of the third stage, right?"

Longyi frowned slightly:

"It's not that simple. The promotion process will take three days to a week. During this period, all your energy must be focused on yourself, and your control over the Zerg is at its weakest. The combat effectiveness of the entire Zerg is very weak."

"You have to get through this level before you can advance successfully."

"When Wucheng's first line of defense was breached, it was the best time to kill the Queen Mother of Haicheng before she completed her promotion."

Lin Feng sighed:

"Don't say it. We didn't know about this at the time. I have just entered the second stage and I don't have the confidence and strength to kill the Queen Mother."

After saying that, the two of them had already sneaked into the subway station.

Through Lingyi's mental control, dozens of red beetles in the platform were successfully controlled and guided to block the entrance to the deepest tunnel, keeping them still.

And at the very bottom, there is a large group of red beetles, which are continuing to explore the way forward under the remote control of the Queen Mother Jiangbei.

After controlling the situation on the upper level, Lin Feng used the intercom to notify the underground captain to move the nuclear bomb down and place it next to the deepest subway tunnel.

Once the rear tunnel collapses and the Queen Mother of Jiangbei approaches, immediately enter the password and evacuate, aiming to inflict a heavy blow.

After everything was arranged, everyone retreated to the surface under Lin Feng's order, dispersed and prepared for battle.

In the entire subway station, only Lin Feng and Long Yi were left sitting next to the nuclear bomb, looking forward to it.

The countdown is passing by...

At the same time, a hundred kilometers away in the sky above Wucheng.

An unknown and fierce battle has already started the decisive battle of Wucheng in advance.

After Lin Feng led the decapitation team away, Shen Jie led thirty second-level gene warriors and soared among the clouds. They soon discovered that a group of hovering black spots appeared in the sky above the suburbs of Haicheng, dozens of kilometers away.

Upon closer inspection, it was the second-order wind-wing insect bombing squadron sent by the Queen Mother of Haicheng.

In order to defeat it unexpectedly, Shen Jie called five team members with excellent flying skills to go with him to spy on the enemy insects' strength.

The six people hid in the clouds two thousand meters high and groped their way forward carefully.

Soon they arrived diagonally below the group of wind-wing insects.

It was only four or five hundred meters away from them.

The second-level wind-wing insects can fly to a height of several thousand meters. At this time, heavy machine gun bullets and ordinary artillery shells are unlikely to have enough power to injure them. Only ballistic missiles with rocket propulsion can kill them.

Unfortunately, there was no radar to guide the change of trajectory, and the missile was powerless against the wind-wing insect's flexible changes of direction.

Only by forming humanity's own aerospace force can we kill these difficult second-order Zerg in air combat.

At this time, Shen Jie flew far out of the clouds, and his eyes under his sunglasses were observing the group of wind-wing insects.

There were as many as twelve of them. What made them different from the green-winged insects was their tails, which were seventy to eighty meters long and occupied two-thirds of the entire body space, just like wasps.

Such a huge tail section is naturally filled with a large number of suicide bugs, which are used to bomb the human defenders.

One wind-wing insect can carry two hundred suicide insects, and the twelve in front of us are equivalent to one thousand two hundred anti-tank missiles. After one wave of bombing, the entire Wucheng defense line, including the suburban fleet, will suffer heavy damage.

We must not let them succeed!
These guys obviously wanted to wait for the fleet to penetrate deep into the hinterland and distance themselves from the defenders on the defense line so as to reduce the anti-aircraft firepower and concentrate on bombing the entire fleet.

The fleet is the fundamental force of the Wucheng decisive battle, and no accidents must occur!

After taking a deep breath, Shen Jie returned to the clouds and ordered the other five people to return to the hiding place of the remaining team members. He led them to detour in all directions, preparing to wipe out the group of wind-wing insects.

He must hurry up.

After defeating the wind-wing insects, the decapitation plan in the north of the city was still waiting for him to help solve it.

Shen Jie, who has mastered the state of killing, is also one of the participants in this decapitation plan.

Soon, the team members were divided into six teams and formed an encirclement below the wind-wing insect swarm as planned.

The Aerospace Group took advantage of their relatively small size and successfully hid themselves, remaining unnoticed by the wind-wing insects throughout the process.

With Shen Jie, who was in the center of the encirclement, taking the lead in launching the attack, the machine gun in his hand spewed out fire snakes upwards. The other thirty genetic warriors had already locked onto their respective targets and followed the leader in pulling the trigger.

In an instant, a huge metal net instantly covered the wind-wing insect bombing squadron that was still hovering and waiting for the Queen Mother's order.

Because the insect bodies were fully loaded and they had to overcome the influence of turbulence at high altitudes, their reaction speed and flight performance had dropped sharply, so that they had no reaction at all before the shells landed.

The artillery fire immediately tore apart the membrane of the membranous wings, and blew up the tail segment storing the suicide bugs.

The strong shock wave produced by the explosion directly caused a chain reaction of self-exploding insects.

Just like firecrackers, they explode one after another!
There was a violent explosion and flames, engulfing all the second-level wind-wing insects...

The morning sky suddenly darkened!
Then, the fire lit up the world, as bright as day!
Accompanied by loud noises one after another,

The strong shock wave even swept through the aerospace corps hundreds of meters below, blowing them thousands of meters away. Many team members who were unable to control themselves in time were swept away by the airflow and became unconscious...

A force 10 gale blew directly into the suburbs of Haicheng!

The entire cloud layer in the sky was blown into a hollow area of ​​tens of kilometers.

A yellow and white mushroom cloud gradually dissipated.

Countless Zerg body fragments fell like raindrops.

Seeing this, Chen Yanyan, the dreadnought battleship in the ground fleet, immediately gave the order:
"Army attack!"
