Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

Chapter 426: Chapter 216: Preparations Before Departure, Jiang Yun’er, Tier Three Ling Yi

When Li Ran mentioned that the Mother Empress besieging the Federal Capital had crawled directly onto the surface to launch its offensive, Shen Jie’s pupils instantly constricted.

He knew full well that Li Ran understood what he desperately wanted.

To kill a Mother Empress and achieve his Tier Three Awakening.

This was the optimal solution for mitigating his Genetic Assimilation and overcoming the mental toll from his Slaughter Realm.

So after Li Ran stated the new conditions offered by the Federation’s high command, Shen Jie began to waver.

After all, he had objected before because he didn’t want to be too far from Zhang Liying. Furthermore, the North was far less familiar to him than Jiangnan, making the chances of killing a Mother Empress low and the risks high.

But now, it seemed that with the Zerg Race Mother Empresses gathered in one place in the North, the situation actually presented more opportunities.

Plus, the deployment of nuclear bombs could help clear out most of the low-tier Swarm and Tier Two Swarms, compensating for the shortage of Warriors and fleets.

Therefore, heading north to provide aid offered a greater chance of killing a Mother Empress and advancing to Tier Three.

As Shen Jie nodded in compromise...

All eyes in the room turned to Lin Feng, who sat at the head of the table.

He hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

In reality, Lin Feng wasn’t opposed to heading north. He knew very well that Li Ran was pushing for this cooperation not just out of a soldier’s sense of duty, but also because he wanted to rescue Qin Hu.

Lin Feng also wanted to see how Qin Hu would perform in the defense of the Capital, now that he had received the perfected genetic modification technology with Ling Shuyan’s help.

Logically, a large group of Genetic Warriors should be fully capable of handling an offensive from a Tier Two Swarm. They could even kill dozens of Tier Two Zergs in a short period, allowing them to advance from the Tier Two Early Stage to the Late Stage.

And a Tier Two Late Stage Perfection Genetic Warrior has a high chance of triggering a Realm Trial.

Like Shen Jie, once they passed the trial, they would become a Tier Two Peak Awakener who had mastered the Power of Spine Zerg Realm.

Not only would they be immune to the Spiritual Interference and Mental Realm Manipulation of a High-tier Mother Empress, but they would also have a chance of defeating them.

If he was lucky on this trip and encountered a Tier Two Peak Genetic Warrior who had triggered a Realm Trial, Lin Feng wouldn’t mind lending a hand to help them get through it.

After all, a human Tier Three Genetic Warrior and the Zerg Race’s Tier Three King Hunter Zerg...

...would both compete for the sole position of Tier Four Hunting King.

Although this hybrid evolutionary path was not as stable as a pure-blooded one, its potential for power was undeniable.

After all, human potential combined with the aggression of the Spine Zergs might create something even stronger than a Tier Four Spine King.

’Besides, this rescue mission to the North will also build a great deal of prestige for me,’ Lin Feng thought. ’I might even be able to meddle in the internal strife of the Federation’s high command and help a friendly faction rise to power.’

’Someone like Qin Hu, for instance.’

’Then there are the other benefits, like diverting the attention of the Zerg Race Mother Empresses away from the South, and finding records about my mother, He Yiwen...’

All these factors combined were enough to make Lin Feng accept the risks of this mission to break the siege.

And the final agreement reached in this meeting would soon set off a chain reaction, becoming a pivotal decision that would influence the fate of the entire continent.

With the decision made, the group began to plan the subsequent arrangements and preparations for the relief mission to the North.

First was the roster of participants for the mission.

Besides Lin Feng, who as a Tier Three Awakener would naturally be in command, there was Shen Jie and his Tier Two Gene Combat Team.

But not all seventy-two members could go.

Jin City Base still needed them to deal with the Zerg Race’s Samurai Hunter Zergs.

So, after some discussion, it was decided that about half of the members—those at the Tier Two Middle-Late Stage—would join the relief mission. Including Shen Jie and the two other Battle Group commanders, the detachment would total thirty-five people.

The main consideration was that these Tier Two Late Stage Genetic Warriors might trigger a Realm Trial in the ensuing battles.

By having them follow Ling Yi, their chances of passing the trial would be much higher.

The Guard Battle Group, led by Liu Yi, would also go. These thirty-plus elite Tier Two Warriors, armed with Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Swords, were capable of fighting deep within the Underground Hives.

The final question was whether to bring the Tier One Elite Warriors.

The Salvation Army now had eight hundred Tier One Late Stage Awakened, who were all capable of achieving a Tier Two Awakening at any moment simply by killing a Tier Two Zerg.

Lin Feng initially didn’t want to bring them, as more people meant more trouble, but he eventually agreed after persuasion from Li Ran and Chen Yanyan.

They reasoned that with issues like logistical supply lines and battlefield cleanup, someone was needed to manage things; they couldn’t rely entirely on the Federation’s high command.

The final configuration, therefore, was Lin Feng plus eighty Tier Two Battle Group members—divided into four Battle Groups, two of Genetic Warriors and two from the Guard Battle Group—as well as over two hundred Tier One Late Stage Perfection Elite Warriors.

This expedition would also allow the latter group to advance to Tier Two Awakener, rapidly strengthening the team while also reducing Jin City Base’s consumption of Tier Two Zerg Eggs.

With the roster for the relief mission confirmed, logistical preparations also advanced steadily.

As the lights in the coffee shop went out, the attendees departed one by one to set their plans in motion.

Li Ran went to inform General Chen of the great news and to procure a range of equipment for the expeditionary force.

Lin Feng couldn’t afford to be idle, either. According to the plan, they had to depart by the day after tomorrow at the latest, and he had many things to take care of before then.

These included processing the Biological Materials collected after their recent great victory, which were needed for crafting the Red Profound Armor and Tiger Armor, and for synthesizing a large number of Flying Wing Tank Replicas.

Most important of all was the crafting and upgrading of the Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Swords. These were currently the only mass-produced, orange-grade weapons under Lin Feng’s command that were not Replicas.
