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

Chapter 224: The Queen Mother of Yunxialing, planning, lightning beheading?
"It's decided. If the decapitation operation tomorrow morning fails, we will follow your original breakout plan and conduct a feint attack to contain the enemy."

"In short, the more intense the fighting in the southwest, the more beneficial it will be for covering the breakout in the northwest."

"Any other questions?"

Lin Feng slowly retracted his aura. The federal military personnel in front of him were so frightened that their legs went weak and their faces turned pale.

The mid-level second-rank colonel who stood up to object fell back into his seat. He felt suffocated, as if an invisible force was strangling his entire body and making him unable to move.

After Lin Feng finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent, with only the central air conditioning overhead whirring away cold air.

The first person to react was the experienced and knowledgeable General Chen. Although he only had the strength of the early first level, when Lin Feng released his aura just now, he did not directly target him.

Seeing that Lin Feng had issued an unquestionable order, General Chen quickly wiped his sweat and stood up:
"Okay, let's do as City Lord Lin said. On behalf of the federal military, I fully support it!"

"We will send someone to deliver to you the exact location of the Queen Mother in the southwest and south, as well as a detailed distribution map of the insect swarm."

"I hope City Lord Lin will understand. We have 100% confidence in you and your Salvation Army!"

Lin Feng nodded slightly, said no more, and left the meeting room with his subordinates behind him and returned to the dormitory apartment.

After they left, the federal officers present finally relaxed, then covered their chests, mouths and noses and exhaled deeply.

When they looked at each other, they suddenly realized that each other's backs were already soaked with cold sweat.

…………

After returning to the apartment, Lin Feng and others were not idle either. Instead, they were discussing the operations for tomorrow morning in the hall.

Lin Feng took the information sent by General Chen and spread out the drawings in front of everyone.

It shows that outside the capital city, there are three early queens in the southwest direction. The outermost one is more than 100 kilometers away from the center of the capital city.

Located in the southwest section of the Taihang Mountains, it is stationed in a federal natural forest park called Yunxialing. Together with a nearby forest, the territory ruled by this queen mother is more than 400 square kilometers, far exceeding that of an ordinary third-level early queen mother.

This is also one of the few places in the entire encirclement that is rich in biomass resources. Although it is not as good as the southern rice and fishery areas with abundant water systems, it is much better than the coastal cities.

The Zerg Queen that occupies it is certainly not to be underestimated in terms of strength. She is even stronger than the level 32 Jiangbei Queen.

Lin Feng took out a map of the Taihang Mountains and pointed at the Yunxia Ridge:

"This is a long and narrow strip of land that is large at both ends and narrow in the middle. The federal reconnaissance team believes that this Zerg's mother nest, where the high-level queen is located, is located in the Yunxia area below, because it is closer to the capital city, and next to it is the southwestern suburbs on the edge of the capital city..."

"This district is one of the satellite cities that protect the capital. Last month, at the end of August, a joint battle between the three emperors broke out. More than half of the more than 100,000 troops stationed here were killed or wounded..."

"Both sides were badly hurt. Later, except for the middle-stage third-order mother queens who continued to fight and expand at the front line, the rest of the early-stage third-order mother queens retreated to the periphery to recuperate."

"Afterwards, the southwestern suburbs were divided up by a Stage 3 mid-stage queen mother and another early-stage queen mother. They are 30 kilometers away from the Yunxia Ridge that was chosen this time."

"So if this decapitation operation succeeds, we will only have less than five hours to retreat. During this time, we will also have to transport the second-level insect eggs and the high-level queen's corpse, which will be quite difficult."

As he spoke, Lin Feng stared at the map and realized that the biggest problem in this battle was not how to kill the Queen Mother, but how to take all the proceeds from beheading for himself.

In addition to plundering the queen's life energy, defeating the queen also means that the tens of thousands of insect swarms under her command are also of great value.

They are also the main factor that attracts nearby queens to travel long distances to join the battle.

So Lin Feng looked at Long Yi who was standing beside him.

The latter raised his head and nodded slightly:
"No problem. As long as we kill the Queen Mother, I am confident that I can control half of the insect swarm in a short period of time and direct them to carry away the most valuable second-level insect eggs."

"As for the Queen Mother's corpse..."

"If we follow the punctuation on the map, the mother nest is located in Yunxialing near the southwestern suburbs. Then five hours is enough to deliver the queen's corpse to another main nest in the northwest. I estimate that there will be a node mother body there, responsible for helping the queen take care of the insect swarm."

"The two places are 40 kilometers apart. We can use the main nest in the rear as the base of the outpost, and the mountainous and hilly areas in this area as the main battlefield of this mission."

"If the nearby Queen Mother wants to come, she must break out of the ground and shuttle between the mountains on the surface. In this way, the subsequent Queen Mother hunting plan will be much easier."

Lin Feng nodded.

This was also what he thought of after seeing the topographic map of the southwest region in the conference room.

Because of the terrain advantage, he made a bold promise to take the initiative in the capital breakout plan into his own hands.

The Taihang Mountains in the southwest are very suitable as a trap to lure the Queen Mother.

There is a shortage of water in this area and the ground is covered with rocks. If you want to dig a wormhole from underground, it will take several months.

Therefore, the queen mother had to risk coming out of the ground, commanding the entire swarm and conducting ground combat.

In that case, Lin Feng would be able to use the level 30 ion laser cannon to directly achieve long-range killing and minimize casualties in underground combat.

"Okay, let's do it."

"We will set off early tomorrow morning at about 4 a.m., and arrive in the southwest at 5 a.m., so Longyi and I will go ahead and explore to confirm the exact location of the Queen Mother."

"Then, just like the battle in Jiangbei, I will use two hundred soldiers and a genetic regiment to guard the cave entrance. The remaining three regiments, with more than sixty second-level awakeners, will follow me to kill Queen Mother Yunxia!"

"Because we are outnumbered, we must use a quick and decisive approach and kill the Zerg Queen before she can react and mobilize the entire swarm."

"Catch it off guard!"

"This operation is named Lightning Decapitation!"

"Any questions? Don't disband yet. Tell your team to rest as soon as possible and get enough energy for tomorrow's battle."

"This battle is the first shot in our plan to break out of the capital, and it is also the first battle for our Salvation Army to prove itself in the north!"

"You can only win! You can't lose!"

The commanders present all stood up and saluted:
"Yes!"

They then returned to their respective apartment floors and dormitories to notify everyone of the combat missions for the next morning.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Lin Feng and Long Yi returned to the apartment, and the former suddenly asked:
"Any other intelligence on tomorrow's target?"

Lingyi knew that he was asking about the spiritual space where all the queen mothers coexisted, and about the grand alliance in the southeast region of the main continent.

When the two of them walked into Lin Feng's luxurious apartment, a golden light flashed in Long's eyes and he nodded and said:
"Yes. This queen mother has already entered the initial stage of perfection and is ranked outside the top 150. She will soon start the promotion to the middle stage of the second stage, so her strength is not low. She is stronger than the one in Jiangbei."

Lin Feng frowned slightly:

"Then is it possible that it is currently in the process of advancing to the middle stage of the third stage?"

If he could really get this bargain, Lin Feng would wake up laughing in his dreams tonight.

When the Queen Mother starts her promotion to the middle and late stages of the third stage, she is unable to mobilize extra energy to guard against external invaders.

The entire swarm of insects under his command was also under the custody of established procedures, and its organizational strength had declined by more than one level.

This means that as long as the second-level insect swarm stationed in its mother nest is eliminated, they can march straight in and capture the queen without any effort.

Ling curled his lips and interrupted Lin Feng's fantasy:
"Unlikely. This queen mother showed signs of entering and leaving the spiritual world yesterday. She wanted to exchange second-level insect eggs with other queen mothers nearby, and invite them to expand together and attack human settlements deeper inland."

"It is not the right time to be promoted yet."

"Before the capital defense battle was finally concluded, it was outside the encirclement. More than ten kilometers away, there were blocking lines and defensive fortifications set up by the human army. Even if it had ten times the courage, it would not dare to rashly start the promotion..."

"Now it wants to trade second-level insect eggs to increase its strength, as well as recruit other queen mothers to expand its territory. It is probably clearing out nearby threats in preparation for advancement."

Lin Feng nodded. It was a pity that the breakout plan could not be delayed. Otherwise, if they waited a few more days, the Salvation Army might really encounter the Queen Mother of Yunxialing in the process of promotion.

Then harvest it easily and get a big bargain.

The situation is now urgent. In order to save the millions trapped in the capital city, we must race against time.

Had to face a level 33 Zerg Queen.

Its physical and mental attributes are all above 3,000. Even according to Long Yi's description, it is close to the upper limit of 4,000. If the environment does not allow it, it may have been promoted to the middle stage of the third level long ago, and become the existence that Lin Feng has to retreat from at this moment.

"The Queen Mother of Yunxialing is so powerful, are you sure?"

Lin Feng raised the level 29 tiger-tooth chainsaw sword placed next to the ion laser cannon. After being strengthened by the golden neck guard, it already had a terrifying damage of per second and could ignore the protection of the queen's neck guard.

Combined with the long-range consumption of the laser cannon...

Killing an ordinary third-level early queen is not a problem.

Lin Feng also wanted to use this decapitation operation to upgrade his lv29 Tiger Tooth Chainsaw Sword to a lv30 gold-quality melee weapon.

By then, the long-range laser cannon, combined with the close-combat chainsword, will be able to fight even against multiple early queens.

After hearing Lin Feng's question, Long Yi thought and evaluated for a while before revealing the key point:
"Have!"

"Remember, as long as we don't give it a chance to release the Divine Domain, we can win this battle."

"Otherwise, once unlimited reproduction is added to its body, its upper limit of vitality and recovery speed can be increased several times in a short period of time, and it can be called a true immortal body."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the level 30 ion laser cannon beside him. Its burst damage was not high.

An ion beam cannon can only deal a maximum of 6,000 damage.

"We have to find a way to cut off the connection between the Queen Mother and the biological mother nest behind her in a short period of time and reduce her health to normal!"

The scorpion nodded slightly:
"That's right. And it has to be quick, no more than ten seconds. Once it notices you, it will do everything it can to release the divine realm."

Lin Feng frowned slightly. It was obviously not enough to rely on his own strength alone, and he needed additional firepower support.

Shen Jie activated the killing state, barely able to burst out more than 2,000 damage, combined with his tiger-tooth chainsaw sword and ion laser cannon...

Within one second, the total damage value was more than 8,000.

It should be enough.

Lin Feng then arranged the steps for the decisive battle and discussed it in detail with Long Yi. He felt relieved only after the other party gave a positive assessment.

"That's it for now. You should go back and rest. Only if you get enough rest can you be in the best condition tomorrow."

Lin Feng pinched his brows and ended the pre-war talk.

Ling stood up and left, saying before leaving:

"That little girl, Liu Yueqi, has great potential in her abilities, especially in cutting. If we can get her to the peak of the second level or even the third level as soon as possible, it will be very helpful for our plan to hunt the Queen Mother this time."

Lin Feng nodded. Of course he knew this, otherwise he would not have made an exception and brought her along.

Liu Yueqi's molecular cutting can cut off all connecting bonds except atoms at the microscopic level.

Even the Queen Mother's golden neck guard can be cut off with one knife as long as the energy of molecular cutting is sufficient.

If she can be trained as soon as possible and become a capable and independent warrior, she will be able to help Lin Feng a lot.

"Got it. Let her guard the cave entrance for this battle. Once we have collected enough second-stage insect eggs, we can make arrangements and directly enter the late second stage."

Lin Feng closed his eyes and spoke slowly.

Longyi smiled knowingly and closed the door.

Four hours later, the sky was just getting light.

The fully armed Salvation Army has gathered downstairs of the dormitory, ready to go.

General Chen prepared the troop carrier and sent out an elite reconnaissance team composed of awakened ones to lead the Savior Army.

They are very familiar with the northern terrain and are as important to the Salvation Army as a living map.

Sitting in the jeep, Lin Feng expressed his gratitude to General Chen beside him, then gave the order to set off and drive away from the air force base with its gates open.

At five in the morning, after more than an hour of trekking, we drove from the highway to the county road, and then drove into a remote and desolate country dirt road. Finally, after driving a hundred kilometers...

Arrived outside Yunxialing Forest Park.

Among the mountains, a high mountain with loess slopes appears unusually abrupt.

The leader of the reconnaissance team took out the map and explained to Lin Feng and others:
"This area was originally planted as a windbreak to prevent soil erosion and protect against the annual sandstorms that blow from the northwest."

"The Yunxialing Park, where the trees are densest, has been completely eaten by the Zerg..."

"But that's good. This way we can more easily confirm the distribution of their forces and the location of their mother nest."

As he spoke, he pointed to a mountain in Yunxialing:
"This is the original side peak, which is not open to the public. Inside is an underground air-raid shelter that was built crazily when the Federation and the Ross Empire were in confrontation. At that time, the shelter was several hundred meters wide, enough for tens of thousands of people to hide in."

"So this area is most likely the Queen Mother's nest, so it will be more convenient to continue digging."

Lin Feng nodded and ordered:
"I'll go check it out first, you guys wait here."

"Be careful to hide and don't expose yourself."

After saying that, he called over Longyi, and the two of them walked one in front and one behind, groping their way to the edge of the Zerg territory.

Soon the two saw that many red beetles were gnawing and digging at tall trees, dragging them into the dug insect pits.

Using Longyi's mental shielding and simulating the Zerg's aura here, the two restrained their aura and sneaked carefully.

The spiritual attribute of Lingyi is as high as 2.5k, which is similar to that of an ordinary lv32 queen. In addition, due to its small size, ordinary second-level Zergs cannot detect it at all unless they face the queen directly.

However, she can determine the location of the Queen Mother by the special pheromones carried by the nearby Zerg.

Soon, after climbing over several mountains hundreds of meters high, Long Yi confirmed that the Queen Mother of Yunxialing was in the shelter mentioned by the reconnaissance captain.

However, the refuge is located one hundred meters deep at the foot of the mountain, while the Queen Mother's location is three hundred meters deeper.

It seems that the environment in the north is harsh and the geology is hard. Even the queen mother's nest underground is less deep than that in the south.

On the way back, Lin Feng and Long Yi discussed the deployment.

Because of the existence of the shelter, the soldiers guarding the cave entrance can use the narrow entrance passage to block other insect swarms coming to support.

This would free up more troops to guard the remaining wormholes in the shelter.

After explaining to the team members, Lin Feng looked at the reconnaissance team nearby and asked them if they wanted to follow.

The latter waved his hands quickly:

"No, no, with our strength, entering the insect nest would be a dead end..."

"We are observing the situation here. If there are any changes, we can notify the rear in time and come to support us."

General Chen not only sent them to lead the way, but also to keep an eye on Lin Feng and his group in case of any accidents.

In this way, they can also contact the rear troops in time through the vehicle-mounted radio, rush to support, and ensure the smooth implementation of the breakout plan.

Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back.

You must make multiple preparations.

Lin Feng nodded and said nothing more.

Then he looked at the soldiers in front of him and ordered an attack.

Four regiments, two hundred soldiers, at Lin Feng's command, rushed towards the target together!
It was so fast that it took less than two minutes...

Then they rushed to the side peak of Yunxialing Mountain ten kilometers away!
Before the surface Zerg could react, two Tier 2 Gene Corps had already taken control of the foot of the side peak and were responding to the coming Corps...

Lin Feng led the Guards Regiment and Long Yi, and rushed into the shelter and into the insect nest!
The lightning decapitation operation officially begins!
