Only then did they abandon the fight in an orderly manner, starting to flee toward the nearest exit.
This bizarre scene instantly put Lin Feng on alert.
He suddenly realized that the genetic fusion technology represented by the Tier Two Samurai Hunter Zergs could only be unlocked by a Tier Three Mid-stage Mother Empress that had grasped sixty percent of the Infinite Reproduction Realm.
An Early-stage Mother Empress, even at level thirty-three, would not possess the technology and ability to cultivate large numbers of Samurai Hunter Zergs!
For these few surviving Samurai Hunter Zergs—including the ones already killed by the Battle Group members—to appear in an Early-stage Mother Empress’s Nest, there was only one possibility...
They all came from another Mother Empress in this area—the only Mid-stage Mother Empress in Western Capital City.
The one in Western Capital City, ten kilometers from here!
Lin Feng’s pupils contracted instantly!
’I can’t let them escape!’
’They’ll go back and report what happened!’
’Losing the signal from a few Samurai Hunter Zergs wouldn’t prove anything, but if these survivors escape back to the Mid-stage Mother Empress’s Nest and report the death of this Early-stage Mother Empress to their true master...’
’Then my next surprise beheading strike would be put in a very passive position!’
’The other Early-stage Mother Empress, once warned, would definitely abandon its Nest immediately and retreat to Western Capital City to rendezvous with the Mid-stage Mother Empress there.’
’What happens next would likely be a repeat of the disaster after the battle at Yunxia Ridge, when the Southern Mother Empress devoured the surviving Early-stage Mother Empress and her massive swarm, completing her ascension to Tier Three Perfection!’
’If the Western Mother Empress is allowed to capitalize on such a bizarre twist of fate again...’
’...then the difficulty of my own advancement to Tier Three Middle Stage will increase yet again.’
’If three Mid-Stage Perfection Mother Empresses were to unite, even with six Early Stage beings on the human defenders’ side, it would be difficult to withstand their powerful offensive.’
At this thought, Lin Feng no longer hesitated. He immediately activated his Reproductive Armor Mecha and shot forward, becoming a blur.
Flashing behind them, he raised the Ion Laser Cannon on his left arm. With rapid, instantaneous targeting, he took out one Samurai Hunter Zerg per second.
At the same time, he called out to the rest of the Guard Battle Group:
"Don’t let your guard down! Wipe out every last Tier Two Zerg in this entire Hive!"
"Otherwise, they’ll send word back and the Zerg at the other two locations will realize we’re launching a surprise attack!"
The words had barely left his mouth when Lin Feng blasted the seven or eight escaping Samurai Hunter Zergs to pieces.
Spurred by Lin Feng’s reminder, the remaining members of the Guard Battle Group tensed up and resumed the slaughter of the remaining Tier Two Zerg Race.
They would leave no survivors.
Before long, the situation was brought under control, and Lin Feng returned to the side of the Mother Empress’s corpse.
By this point, Liu Yueqi had finished absorbing the immense Life Energy. She just needed to drink the Nutrient Liquid to restore her state, and then she could initiate her Tier Jumping Upgrade.
Lin Feng then called over Qin Hu and said to both him and Liu Yueqi:
"You two secure the situation here at the Hive and eliminate as many of the external Zerg as possible. After the raid is over, I’ll bring a team back to dissect the Mother Empress’s corpse and transport it to the main Nest at Yunxia Ridge."
"Of course, you can start right away."
"Start by hollowing out the innards. Just leave the muscle, the supporting spine, and so on."
The two nodded, realizing their leader was about to leave to hunt down the other Early-stage Mother Empress.
Although Liu Yi felt a pang of regret, wanting to follow Lin Feng to the next Hive entrance, he knew that securing the spoils of their victory here was more important.
After giving his instructions, Lin Feng piloted his Reproductive Armor Mecha out of the Nest, leading the *Mother Empress* with Jiang Yun’er aboard.
They emerged onto the surface above the Hive, which had erupted into chaos.
Just then, a squad of three Tier Two Peak Genetic Warriors appeared not far from the Hive entrance.
Judging from the aura they emanated...
’They’re Genetic Warriors under Qin Hu’s command!’
At that moment, they also spotted the two large mechas that had appeared on the surface.
They immediately called out in loud voices:
"City Lord Lin!"
"We’ve found a Mother Empress!"
"General Qin is fighting it now! We need reinforcements!"
