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

Chapter 213: Arms Race, Zerg Civil War, Fleet Appearance
The night after the decisive battle in Wucheng, the Queen Mother of Haicheng discovered the human garrison stationed by the Taihu Lake through the reconnaissance of several blue-winged insects...

It seemed to disappear without a trace within a day.

Its first reaction was that the defenders had run out of ammunition and food and had to retreat and rest after the battle.

But then he thought again that the other party had successfully killed the Queen Mother of Jiangbei. Although it was in order to settle in Taihu Lake in advance, it hurried on its way without knowing the danger in life and death, and then fell into the trap set by humans.

Therefore, the leader of the Wucheng army, the human being that the Queen Mother of Haicheng hates so much, will surely enter the third stage smoothly through the success of the decapitation plan.

Thus, you will have the qualifications to challenge yourself head-on.

Even if he was stationed alone by the lake, he could easily destroy hundreds of second-level insect swarms.

This might also be a trap carefully designed for it, in an attempt to completely wipe out the Zerg under its command.

Out of caution, the Queen Mother of Haicheng did not send troops to advance rashly, but continued to withdraw her forces, intending to wait and see for a while.

The sudden change made it feel a bit caught in a dilemma as it had originally planned to retreat to the center of Haicheng and rely on offshore biological resources to restore the vitality of the insect swarm. Instead, it chose to stay in the suburbs of Haicheng.

Originally, the Queen Mother of Haicheng could use the second-order wind-wing insects to fly to a longer distance for a detailed search, but the green-wing insects not only have a short range, but also a limited search range.

But when I thought about the genetically assimilated warriors sent by the other side setting up an ambush in the sky of Wucheng and using long-range artillery to launch a sneak attack on the wind-winged insects...

The Queen Mother of Haicheng gave up the idea.

Now that it has lost more than half of its insect colony, it is no longer able to consume large amounts of resources to cultivate new second-order wind-wing insects.

However, after the failure of the decisive battle in Wucheng, the Queen Mother of Haicheng also learned lessons from humans and began to upgrade the warrior hunting insects at very little cost.

The first step is to add a pair of membranous wings to the green-winged insect, so that the warrior hunting insect can carry out short-distance flight raids and imitate human genetic warriors.

The second is armor enhancement.

The second-level giant jaws of a tiger-spine worm are more than enough to arm ten warrior hunting worms. When facing the fire blockade of humans, the latter is obviously more cost-effective.

But the tiger-spine worm also plays an irreplaceable role in tearing open the lines and impacting the formation.

However, with the Wucheng defense line breached, there is no longer a need for tiger-backed worms to charge into battle.

With such a large body, it would be a sitting duck on the battlefield and easily killed by concentrated fire, which would be a waste of effort.

In comparison, the Warrior Bug Hunter is smaller and more flexible, and can effectively restrain the second-level awakening legion of humans.

The warrior hunter with superimposed armor, equipped with four long swords made of the same material, has narrowed the equipment gap with the second-level regiment.

If the two sides come into close combat next time, the Queen Mother of Haicheng is fully confident that she can crush humans by relying on the equipment and numerical advantage of the new warrior insect hunters.

In this way, the weapons and equipment of the warrior insect hunters were quietly upgraded. While observing the situation in the western area of ​​Wucheng, the Queen Mother of Haicheng reorganized the armaments of her insect swarms to prepare for the next expansion decisive battle.

However, two days later, in the early morning, the Queen Mother controlled the Green Winged Insect to fly to the second line of defense in the west of the city to conduct an investigation...

Linking to the perspective of the green-winged insect, he unexpectedly detected a group of uninvited guests!
A group of red beetles and black-backed beetles suddenly appeared in the half-ruined western district of Wucheng.

This group of insects, numbering tens of thousands, appeared in the human territory in a swaggering manner, and began to clean up the battlefield and knock down broken houses and buildings.

While the Queen Mother of Haicheng was puzzled, she concentrated her attention on controlling the green-winged insect to slow down its flying speed and land on a residential building that was relatively intact.

Then, through the green-winged insect's olfactory organs, it captures the pheromones in the air.

It is identifying the groups to which these insects belong.

Although the Zerg under the command of different queens are genetically similar, they will emit pheromones with different smells due to the differences in their underground nests.

This is closely related to the genes of the queen mother, just like the primitive insects, ant colonies and bee colonies on the blue planet.

There will be competition, friction and confrontation between different ethnic groups, and the same is true in the fourth-level promotion competition for the Global Queen.

If no alliance is concluded in advance, the Zerg individuals under the Queen Mother will naturally be in a hostile state.

So now a green-winged insect was hiding on the edge of the eaves, quietly investigating this group of insects of unknown origin.

Through pheromone identification, the Queen Mother of Haicheng quickly smelled a familiar scent.

This group of low-level insects exuded the scent of the Queen Mother of Jiangbei, which was exactly the same smell brought back by the Zerg transport team that he had sent to Jiangbei.

But the problem is that the idiot who had formed an alliance with him has been confirmed to have died at the hands of humans, and his soul and body are naturally gone...

Having lost their mother queen, this group of low-level insects became ownerless and should have been wandering aimlessly in the Jiangbei area. How could they suddenly appear in the urban area of ​​Wucheng?

Or in the territory ruled by humans?

Moreover, their actions were in an orderly manner, and they did not look like they had lost their guidance at all.

Could it be that some human being with awakened psychic powers is using his super powers to control these insects?

In order to facilitate the Queen Mother's control, the spiritual attributes of the lower Zerg have been castrated, and the genetic sequences related to spiritual power have been sealed and cannot be activated.

Therefore, the psychic abilities that control the mind and thoughts can directly control them through mental invasion.

But the Queen Mother of Haicheng soon rejected this speculation, because in addition to the low-level insect swarms cleaning the battlefield, dozens of second-level tiger-spine insects appeared not far away!

To be able to control a swarm of insects of this size, covering an area of ​​tens of square kilometers, requires at least the initial stage of the third order of mental power. Humans cannot release such a large and sophisticated mental power before killing high-level insects.

So there is only one possibility left...

That is, a queen mother recruited these ownerless insects and then drove them into Taihu Lake. At the same time, she demarcated her territory on the lakeside to guard against herself.

If this is the truth, doesn't it mean that the Wucheng defenders have really evacuated! ?
In an instant, the Queen Mother of Haicheng realized that she had missed the best opportunity to take over Taihu Lake!
But it’s not too late!
As long as the opponent has not yet advanced to the middle stage of the third stage, he still has a chance to turn the tables!

So he immediately controlled the green-winged insect to sneak back quietly to avoid being discovered by the group of insects that were digging underground nests.

At the same time, the second-level Zerg in the underground of Haicheng and the army of low-level black-spine insects were mobilized to rush to the battlefield in the west of the city.

When the huge swarm of insects crossed the suburbs and entered the urban area of ​​Wucheng, they were immediately encountered a fierce counterattack from the insects here.

At this moment, Long Yi was standing on the roof of the teaching building where the university town camp was previously located, controlling tens of thousands of low-level insect swarms under his command to block the invasion of the Haicheng Zerg.

In fact, she had been hiding very well in the past two days, but this hiding could not last long, as the Queen Mother of Haicheng had been sending green-winged insects to test her.

Tens of thousands of bugs hiding in the corners of the ruins will be exposed sooner or later.

Therefore, since Lin Feng has promised to come today, it is better to take the initiative to seduce him and let the Queen Mother of Haicheng launch an attack.

The battle between Zerg at this moment is even bloodier than the attack on humans. Both sides are fighting in close combat, and it is a life-and-death fight from the beginning of the collision.

Even though the Haicheng Zerg suffered heavy damage in the previous decisive battle, its remaining Zerg strength still far exceeded the remnants that Longyi had collected.

Comparing the size of the Zerg swarms of the two sides, the ratio of low-level Zerg reached one to three, while for the second-level Zerg, the gap between the Haicheng Zerg and the Haicheng Zerg was five times.

The 20,000 black-backed insects under the control of Long Yi were quickly overwhelmed by the black insect tide that surged in like a tsunami from outside the second line of defense. As many as 60,000 black-backed insects rushed into the west of the city.

Hundreds of tiger-spine insects then appeared on this battlefield that was like a meat grinder, destroying the remaining walls of the second line of defense to create more attack gaps. Countless black-spine insects flipped over from these gaps, like tigers entering a sheepfold, forming a huge fence from north to south and up and down to trap the low-level insect swarms under Ling Yi.

In this kind of battle, since both sides are Zerg, whoever wins is the winner. Whether it is the life energy gained from killing the opponent, or the Zerg corpses collected from cleaning up the battlefield, the winning side can increase its strength.

Therefore, after confirming that the enemy was the Zerg, the Queen Mother of Haicheng immediately mobilized all her troops without sparing any effort and attacked.

It is very clear about the current situation. Only by seizing the fish biomass of Taihu Lake as soon as possible and grabbing the aquatic biological resources can it make up for the previous losses and return to the first sequence of this chicken-eating competition.

Otherwise, the enemy will advance and we will retreat...

If you take one step back, you will retreat step by step.

Therefore, the overwhelming low-level insect swarm did not last long. When hundreds of second-level tiger-spine insects appeared, they trampled on the black-spine insects and joined the battle, and soon tore the battle line apart...

They were as powerful as a thousand men and they smashed through gaps in the battle line, just like the heavy cavalry between two armies in ancient times. For a moment, they were like a place without insects.

Looking at the battle line that was constantly retreating and the momentum of collapse, Long Yi frowned slightly. The time was already 7:30 in the morning...

In Longyi's hands, there were only more than 150 second-level tiger-backed insects left that could be sent to the battlefield.

Once these are completely consumed, and Lin Feng has not yet arrived at the battlefield...

This means that the dragonfly must mobilize its own swarm of insects lying in ambush in the water to join the battle.

In this way, when Lin Feng arrives, he will have to completely wipe out the two Zerg groups that are already fighting each other.

This was not the ending she wanted.

Longyi was very aware of Lin Feng's special ability, which was to plunder the biological activity of Zerg corpses, making them lose their value for secondary utilization.

Therefore, the best plan is to consume all the Zerg swarms that have been recruited, and then use Lin Feng's salvation army to repel the offensive of the Haicheng Zerg, and then pick up the corpses after humans have cleaned up the battlefield and evacuated.

In this way, not only does the dragonfly not have to sacrifice a single soldier of its own, but it can also obtain twice the original amount of biomass resources and directly build a biological mother nest on the spot for recycling and reproduction.

At the same time, he will also use Lin Feng's hand to destroy the remaining insect swarms under the command of the Queen Mother of Haicheng, achieving the goal of killing two birds with one stone!

In the future, we will be able to firmly control the biological resources of the entire Taihu Lake and half of Jiangnan Province.

In less than half a month, he would be able to advance all the way to the perfection of the third stage. By then, the Queen Mother of Sea City would be nothing more than a meal on the plate and meat in the mouth...

It’s just a stepping stone for you to enter the late third stage!

Longyi's plan was flawless, and his calculations were so deep that he had already understood the true meaning of human intrigues for thousands of years.

Now there is only one step left, which is whether Lin Feng can arrive at the battlefield in time before this group of insects is consumed.

After all, her main body is only in the early third stage. In addition, she had to take a detour to enter Taihu Lake, and she was robbed by Lin Feng in the early stage. The size of the Zerg under her command is far less than that of the Queen Mother of Haicheng, who is in the middle third stage.

Even if the remnants of Jiangbei who were incorporated were added together, there were still not as many as the current 60,000 black-backed insects and 800 second-order tiger-backed insects.

Not to mention that the Queen of Haicheng also controls the new second-tier Zergs such as the Pulse Scorpion, the Tank Flame Beetle, and the Warrior Hunter, especially the last Warrior Hunter. If they join this battle, it will be a dimensionality reduction crushing...

A genetic warrior comparable to humans.

Therefore, at this moment, the Queen of Haicheng is advancing, not only to test the strength of the enemy Zerg, but also to use this battle to enhance the strength of her Zerg.

Anyway, victory is assured, and the Zerg corpses will eventually be collected in the biological mother nest for re-creation. It is better to take this opportunity to train a batch of late-stage Zerg to make up for the loss of the first and second-level cutting-edge forces in the previous Wucheng decisive battle.

The Queen Mother of Haicheng, who held this idea, obviously did not consider the possibility that humans would strike back. In her cognitive logic, even if she suffered heavy losses in the decisive battle of Wucheng, the human defenders were also on the verge of collapse...

If it weren't for the last batch of second-level awakeners who came back to support, especially the leader who took the lead, the struggling fleet would have no way of continuing to hold on.

Furthermore, the base camp of the human garrison behind the second line of defense in the western area of ​​Wucheng was also attacked by the Queen Mother of Haicheng...

Until Lin Feng appeared, the Queen Mother of Haicheng's attack strategy and battlefield advantages were impeccable.

Just as it was confident of victory at this moment, it sent out a total of 400 second-level tiger-spine insects, crushing the lines formed by the low-level Zerg and continuously advancing towards the lakeside.

Ling Yi sent out the only 150 or so second-level tiger-backed insects he had on hand to fight against the enemy's attack.

The tiger-backed worms, each over 20 meters in size, unleashed an impact force of tens of tons, and their giant jaws crossed and clamped together, sparking dazzling sparks.

However, the Haicheng Zerg, which was nearly three times the number of the defenders, used their numerical advantage to fight two-on-one or even three-on-one. The free members could sneak attack the stalemate opponent and use their ten-meter-long jaws to bite the enemy's limbs, carapaces and torso...

One-sided dismemberment like this is happening all the time.

Fortunately, Longyi's position was closer to the battlefield. Although his spiritual attributes were far inferior to those of the third-stage mid-stage Queen Mother of Haicheng, his control over the swarm was far more precise than that of the other party.

Distance is an important factor that affects the strength of spiritual power, otherwise the Zerg Queen would not be so difficult to kill.

At this moment, Long Yi made full use of the guerrilla strategy he had learned from Lin Feng. He first used a hundred or so second-order tiger-spine insects to delay the enemy's attacking force, and then controlled the remaining fifty tiger-spine insects, divided them into ten teams, and attacked the scattered enemies with the advantage of five in each team.

As long as you can kill faster than the opponent, you can evacuate before being surrounded and continue looking for the next target.

Of course, to be able to perform this kind of micro-management, one must have a real-time view of the entire map.

And Longyi, who was standing on the top of a tall building, happened to have it.

However, the absolute numerical advantage of the Haicheng Zerg cannot be completely eliminated by guerrilla warfare.

As the Queen Mother of Haicheng discovered that the situation was not right, she began to send the warrior hunters hidden behind the second line of defense to the battlefield to pursue...

Lingyi's delaying strategy gradually became ineffective as the warrior hunters encircled and hunted the remaining tiger-back worms.

Until more than forty minutes later...

The last team of five tiger-backed worms died under the siege of fifteen warrior hunting worms, and the situation on the field began to collapse one-sidedly.

A large number of black-backed insects were directly surrounded and trapped by the Haicheng Zerg.

The Queen Mother of Haicheng had no intention of letting them go, and was even unwilling to seize their mental control and use them for her own purposes. Instead, she was prepared to use their death to pave the way for the promotion of the Zerg under her command.

Knowing that he could not save the situation, Long Yi released his control over the tens of thousands of remaining black-backed insects and concentrated his attention on the swarm of insects on the lakeshore behind him.

This is her last asset.

Just as the black-spine insect swarm on the field was about to be completely wiped out, the entire Wucheng West District, nearly 100 square kilometers, was covered with black and yellow insect corpses...

The Queen Mother of Haicheng had already commanded the tiger-backed worms and warrior hunting worms in the front row to enter the university town camp and attack the Taihu Lake bank nearby...

All I heard was a row of thunderous artillery fire!
Coming from a distance with a sharp roar through the air!

Sitting on the scarlet beetle and preparing to escape, Lingyi suddenly turned around and looked...

The flames and debris ignited by the violent explosion behind her, the impact wave blew her long hair, and the pupils in her eyes reflected the distant horizon.
A row of super fleets appeared!
However, just as the dragonfly was stunned, a warrior hunting insect that had tracked her down flew into the air, flapping its membranous wings...

He raised four sickles and attacked her directly!
