Chapter 573: Chapter 266: Cleaning Up, Upgrading Equipment, No. 2 Machine’s Debut

On the other hand, Qin Hu and his men already had Nuclear Bombs in their possession, brought over from behind the Federal Capital’s defense lines.

Thirty-six Tier Two Peak Genetic Warriors, working in tandem with the weakening blast of a Nuclear Bomb, had a high chance of killing a Tier Three Early-stage Mother Empress, as long as the timing was right.

The two sides faced different circumstances. Lin Feng planned to head to Beihai Town and help Qin Hu kill the Zerg Race Mother Empress there after he suppressed the frontal assault on Yunxia Ridge.

Once Qin Hu also advanced to Tier Three, it would be much harder for the Tier Three Mid-stage Mother Empress in the North to coordinate with the other Empresses on the main battlefield and cut off the Salvation Army’s escape route.

Before that, however, Lin Feng needed to probe the true strength of the underground Zerg Race and prepare some contingency plans.

This was to prevent the Mother Empress from launching an all-out assault and sneak-attacking their base while he was away.

Once everyone had volunteered and been counted.

In total, twenty Peak Genetic Warriors and thirty members of the Guard Battle Group at Tier Two Late Stage Perfection would follow Lin Feng and his companion deep into the Underground Hive.

The rest, all injured to some degree, were unfit for an even more arduous and perilous battle.

Lin Feng ordered Liu Yi to lead the remaining hundred or so Tier Two members back to their position at Yunxia Ridge. At the same time, they were to clear out the underground Shelters and the original Nest:

"Have the Blast Experts in the team plant all the explosives we brought with us on this trip to the North. We’re going to prepare a big gift for the Zerg Race."

A conventional explosion could, at best, collapse a single Hive or a section of a Wormhole. To completely destroy the entire intricate network of the Hive, one would need something on the level of a Nuclear Bomb.

The few tons of explosives the Salvation Army had brought, combined with the ammunition for the Armor-Piercing Cannons, could only create a temporary obstacle to the Zerg Race’s excavation efforts.

With a Swarm of 500,000, the number of lower-tier Red-Armored Beetles would be no less than a million.

Even in the dry, harsh environment of the North, a force of this magnitude could easily expand their territory forward by a kilometer each day.

Lin Feng’s goal in doing this wasn’t just to cause some trouble for the Zerg Race’s advance; more importantly, he hoped to lull the Mother Empress into a false sense of security.

It was all preparation for planting a Nuclear Bomb later on.

Once the fifty warriors designated for the Hive infiltration had assembled, Lin Feng glanced at the time and had them wait a moment longer.

Before long, the figure he was waiting for finally appeared in a valley of Yunxia Ridge.

A giant as tall as a Reproductive Armor Mecha came rushing toward them.

On closer inspection, its frame was more slender than the stocky prototype Lin Feng piloted. Its weapon had also been switched from the massive Hunter Emperor’s Chainsaw Sword to a pair of five-meter-long Narrow Sabers. They were forged from the Giant Mandibles of Tiger Spine Zergs, but their cutting edges radiated a dazzling golden light.

The golden material was from a Golden Quality Neck Guard taken from inside a Mother Empress’s brain.

This was the second masterpiece from Ling Yi: a powerful killing machine, the No. 2 Machine, "Mother Empress."

After parting with Lin Feng yesterday, she had returned to the main Nest and immediately began perfecting the No. 2 Machine.

Only now was she sending her prized creation onto the battlefield, piloted by Jiang Yun’er—a Genetic Mother created from the bloodline of a Mother Empress.

Lin Feng’s eyes flashed as he looked at the level-thirty-three Golden Mecha before him, and he nodded in satisfaction.

Its Attributes were only slightly lower than those of the Reproductive Armor Mecha.

’This will be the No. 2 Machine’s debut, and the beginning of our plan to sow discord in the Multi-Emperor Alliance!’

Lin Feng needed her to, in this upcoming assault...

Put on a dazzling display!

And capture the attention of every Mother Empress!

He then boarded his fully operational Reproductive Armor Mecha.

The mecha raised its Hunter Emperor’s Chainsaw Sword, and his deep voice boomed:

"Let’s show these sons of bitches how determined humanity is to get its revenge!"

"KILL!"
