Chapter 518: Chapter 247: Mental Realm Preparation, Superpower Gene Library, Electromagnetic Force

General Chen nodded, his expression grim, and replied in a low voice,

"Nuclear Bombs are a serious matter. The high-yield Hydrogen Bombs City Lord Lin requires are even more difficult to approve and transport. We must notify the Federation’s high command; an order can only be given after discussion and a vote."

"As for the hundreds of tons of Fine Steel, that’s something I can approve. I’ll arrange for it to be sent over as quickly as possible."

"Is there anything else you need?"

With Qin Hu’s open defiance, Lin Feng had become the final barrier in the tense standoff between the two sides.

Therefore, as long as Lin Feng maintained a neutral stance, the longer he remained, the more it benefited the Federation’s high command.

Hearing the concerned inquiry, Lin Feng thought for a moment before continuing,

"More fuel."

"The Northwest also has plenty of beef and mutton from the grasslands. Send a lot of it. We need to be well-fed to have the strength to fight. Otherwise, if we get desperate with hunger, we’ll have to pay you a personal visit."

General Chen nodded, wiping the cold sweat from his cheeks.

He was well aware of the immense appetite of Awakeners; a Tier Two Awakener needed to consume at least nine or ten pounds of pure meat every day.

There were now over a hundred Tier Two Awakeners in Yunxia Ridge, most of them at the Tier Two Late Stage. The Salvation Army’s elite fighting force completely overwhelmed the Federation’s army of over three hundred thousand soldiers.

Therefore, Lin Feng’s meat requirement was no small amount.

Rather than wait for them to get truly desperate and raid the camp for food, it was better to proactively send it to them.

General Chen had been fully responsible for the Salvation Army’s logistics from the beginning. He just never expected the breakout and containment mission assigned to them would proceed so smoothly.

In the eyes of the military’s general staff, even with Lin Feng’s ability to kill a Mother Empress, suppressing the Zerg Race in the natural fortress of Yunxia Ridge should have taken several days of hard fighting just to pin down the Zerg Race to the southwest and south.

But who would have thought that Lin Feng and his people would take only a single morning—no, a single short hour—to slay the Yunxia Ridge Mother Empress inside her Hive.

Their power was so immense, it was truly unparalleled.

Thus, the Northwest breakout plan was a completely last-minute necessity, hastily put into action.

Thankfully, the evacuation itself had been on the agenda for a while, so ample preparations were already in place both inside and outside the city.

Otherwise, who knows what could have gone wrong.

Therefore, in order to retain Lin Feng and his two hundred-plus Salvation Army soldiers, General Chen readily agreed to his demands. He personally had the authority to fulfill all of them except for the Hydrogen Bomb, and he promised swift delivery.

At the same time, to win Lin Feng’s support, the Federation’s high command had to dispatch their legions to continue holding the front lines against the Zerg Race.

Otherwise, if Yunxia Ridge were to fall into Qin Hu’s hands, the Federation would be at a severe disadvantage.

The semi-independent and secessionist bases in the rear would surely seize the opportunity. They would hit the Federation while it was down, see which way the wind was blowing, and switch their allegiance to Qin Hu, forming a new alliance with him.

"Understood. I’ll have hundreds of tons of fresh meat sent over, along with the fuel and Fine Steel you requested."

After the talks concluded, General Chen, now aware of Lin Feng’s terms, immediately returned to base with his men to discuss authorizing the Hydrogen Bomb with the council members.

After the group left, Lin Feng finished his dinner in the armored mobile kitchen that evening and returned to the Northwest Main Hive.

Inside, Ling Yi and Jiang Yun’er were operating the Incubation Pyramid, refining high-purity Nutrient Liquid.

While this Nutrient Liquid lacked the myriad wondrous properties of Tier Two Zerg Eggs, it was more than sufficient for replenishing the energy and meeting the daily needs of Tier Two Awakeners.

The Incubation Pyramid normally used this same ordinary Nutrient Liquid when incubating Tier Two Zerg Eggs.

The only downside was its high consumption of organic Biomass.

Over the past two days, to replenish the battle-worn Salvation Army, the remnant Swarm controlled by Ling Yi had already stripped the forests and vegetation clean within a seven or eight-kilometer radius.

This was why Lin Feng needed the Federation’s high command to provide extra meat supplies to prepare for any other contingencies.

What Ling Yi and Jiang Yun’er were preparing for at that moment was the Spinal Zerg Realm Trial, set to begin the next day.

Because so many people were participating this time, the Energy consumption would be tens of times greater than during Shen Jie’s previous incident.

Lin Feng’s Genetic Combat Team alone had twenty-five Genetic Warriors at Tier Two Late Stage Perfection, with the remaining nine also at the Tier Two Late Stage.

Seeing Lin Feng walk over, Ling Yi handed her current task to Jiang Yun’er and spoke to him.

"Setting up a Collective Mental Realm Trial on this scale is incredibly energy-intensive. We might as well have the remaining nine Genetic Warriors join in too. There’s still plenty of time; we just need to take them out to kill a few more Tier Two Zerg."

"Otherwise, if we put it off, who knows if we’ll ever have conditions this good again."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement.

"Yes. Before the trial begins tomorrow afternoon, there should be time to raid a Mother Empress west of the Capital City. I’ll try to get the entire Genetic Combat Team to advance to Tier Two Perfection."

That would bring the total number of Trial Takers to thirty-four.

They could take care of all of them in a single batch.

Ling Yi hummed in agreement and continued,

"To actively initiate a Realm Trial, we need a similar type of Mental Realm to act as a guide. Only then can we successfully link and activate the inherited Spine Zerg genes within the Genetic Warriors."

"Right now, the only one we have access to is Shen Jie’s Slaughter Realm. But as he’s only at Tier Two Peak, he can’t yet fully grasp Realm Power."

"It would be best to help him break through to Tier Three as soon as possible. That would also stabilize his State. Then, if something else comes up and you have to leave, you’ll have more peace of mind."
