By the time the last of the pre-battle preparations were complete, it was ten o’clock at night.
Seeing that Lin Feng had completely absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the Mother Empress Brain Marrow, Ling Yi approached and instructed him to modify the remaining Golden Plate Bone shell.
This was the first step in cultivating and constructing the Biological Reproductive Armor.
Only a Tier Three, Golden-quality Plate Bone, serving as the machine’s spinal Dragon Bone, could support the explosive power of a Tier Three being.
And Lin Feng’s Particle Control Realm could quickly break down and reconstruct any material, reshaping it into any form.
This greatly shortened the incubation time for the Reproductive Armor Mecha.
Following Ling Yi’s instructions, Lin Feng channeled his Realm Power, carefully peeling the Plate Bone shell from the purple Mother Empress Brain Marrow and restructuring it into the framework for the Reproductive Armor...
This massive brain marrow, now the control hub for the mecha known as the *Mother Empress*, was about to be squeezed for all its worth.
Once he had finished, Lin Feng stepped aside to drink a large amount of Organic Nutrient Liquid. He then entered a brief hibernation to process the massive surge in his Spiritual Power.
「An hour later...」
Lin Feng awoke from the nutrient pod, his condition fully restored.
The Reproductive Armor Mecha was restored at the same time.
Following an infusion of Spiritual Energy from Ling Yi and a meticulous inspection by the Incubation Pyramid, which repaired all damage and purged waste tissues, the Reproductive Armor Mecha before him looked brand new.
Lin Feng looked at its Identification data and nodded in satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Shen Jie and his thirty-four Tier Two Peak Genetic Warriors had arrived outside the main Incubation Hive, awaiting their leader’s command.
This mission demanded speed—they needed to catch the Mother Empresses on the outskirts of Beihai Town, north of Yunxia Ridge, completely off guard.
Their intelligence indicated only one Mid-stage Mother Empress of unknown strength, along with two at the Tier Three Early Stage.
Lin Feng’s current goal was to take down both of these Early-stage Mother Empresses.
This would not only help Qin Hu advance but also allow either Liu Yueqi or Liu Yi to achieve a Tier Jump Promotion.
With this, they would have five front-line Tier Three Awakeners in total. Aside from Qin Hu, Lin Feng’s side would have four. And on top of that, Jiang Yun’er was about to advance as well...
They would have enough strength to launch a decapitation strike against one of the Tier Three Mid-stage Mother Empresses.
Or, relying on their advantage in speed and mobility, they could hunt down the remaining Early-stage Mother Empresses on the Northern Plain together.
They had to raise their Evolution Levels as much as possible.
Now that all the Genetic Warriors had arrived, Lin Feng selected twenty of them who were in good condition, and also chose twenty from Liu Yi’s Guard Battle Group.
Including Shen Jie and Liu Yi themselves, a total of forty people would follow him to support Qin Hu and break the Zerg Race’s siege on Beihai Town.
The remaining forty Battle Group members would lead the newly promoted Tier Two Warriors in the team to continue guarding the Yunxia Ridge defense line, ensuring the safety of the base.
With his current power, Lin Feng was confident he could force his way past a Mid-stage Mother Empress to assassinate an Early-stage one. Forty Battle Group members would be more than sufficient.
Once Jiang Yun’er was fully recovered and had entered the cockpit of the *Mother Empress*...
Lin Feng immediately boarded the Prototype Machine and gave the order to move out!
The group of forty, along with two Reproductive Armor Mechas, left the main Incubation Hive behind Yunxia Ridge under the cover of darkness at midnight. They sped toward Beihai Town, fifteen kilometers away.
Ten minutes later, Lin Feng and the Salvation Army arrived outside Beihai Town and made contact with Qin Hu.
At this moment, Beihai Town, built along both banks of the river, was still brightly lit even late at night.
Warehouses that once stored grain and farming equipment had been converted into Zerg corpse processing plants. Millions of survivors were tirelessly cutting up Low-tier Zerg Race carcasses, then sorting and piling them up.
And at the far end of the town, hundreds or thousands of small boats, each with a capacity of several dozen tons, were continuously loading the processed Zerg Biological Material, before heading west to transport it back to the safe zone in the rear.
There, it would undergo more detailed processing.
It was used to manufacture Battle Armor and weapons, or to extract liquid hydrogen for vehicle fuel.
Beihai Town’s mostly restored power grid was fueled by burning the Hydrogen Storage Bags from inside the Zerg Race to generate electricity.
Relying on the Zerg Race corpses collected from the war, Beihai Town had shed its former dilapidated and desolate appearance, instead becoming miraculously prosperous.
The offensive of the three attacking Mother Empresses and their Zerg Race forces had been intercepted by Qin Hu and his Southern Corps, who were holding them at bay at the river’s mouth two kilometers away.
By using the high mountains on either side to form a kill-zone, they were able to effectively withstand the assault from a Swarm tens of thousands strong.
Furthermore, Qin Hu had thirty-six Tier Two Peak Genetic Warriors under his command who could swiftly eliminate Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs and any Samurai Hunter Zergs that attempted to raid their position.
Thanks to their high morale and tireless efforts, today’s Zerg offensive had been completely contained.
But that was all they could do.
In order to hold back the endless Swarm, the defenders’ ammunition consumption was massive, and much of their weaponry and equipment had been pushed to the brink of breaking down.
Fortunately, the recent assassination of high-level traitors in the Capital City had made a name for the Southern Corps, attracting the attention of various factions in the rear safe zones.
After establishing contact, they signed numerous trade and cooperation agreements, allowing Beihai Town to receive a continuous stream of supplies from the rear.
Even so, they could only hold the line. Lacking a Tier Three Powerhouse to spearhead an assault, they couldn’t launch a counterattack like Lin Feng’s team, penetrating the Underground Hive to assassinate the Mother Empress directly.
Fortunately, that was precisely why Lin Feng and his people had come.
