Chapter 421: Chapter 214: The Strength of the Tier Two Battle Group, a Sweeping Victory

Meanwhile, Lin Feng put away his Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword. With the Lv30 Ion Laser Cannon in hand, he began sniping the Samurai Hunter Zergs that were flying at high speed and attempting to escape, using instantaneous laser fire.

Although the Lv30 Ion Laser Cannon could only store ten Ion Light Cannon charges, its rate of instantaneous fire was unlimited, and its Damage could reach up to one thousand.

It might be slightly insufficient against enemies with tough Armor due to the brief exposure time, but for hitting the Membrane Wings of flying units, it was dead-on every single time.

This was far more effective than any Armor-Piercing Cannon, Electromagnetic Cannon, or even large-caliber bullets.

The old adage about anti-air was true: for every ten defensive shots, nine found nothing but empty air.

This was because targets often moved as fast as lightning, reaching Mach one or even several times that speed.

But to a Laser Cannon, speeds measured in Mach were as slow as a snail; there was no comparison.

A laser beam reached its target at the speed of light. In this world, aside from other forms of energy, no physical life form could escape its targeted strike.

Relying on the powerful perception of a Tier Three Life Form, paired with his Eye of the Death God Attributes, Lin Feng could even predict the flight paths of the Samurai Hunter Zergs, using the laser to shoot them down one by one.

The heavily-armored Hunter Zergs falling from the sky, even if they weren’t killed by the impact, would be severely injured, losing their ability to move quickly. They were then finished off by the advancing Genetic Warriors.

In an instant, the Tier Two Zerg Race on the battlefield suffered innumerable casualties, with the vast majority becoming little more than upgrade experience for the Tier Two Battle Groups.

The battle was ending so quickly entirely because Lin Feng was providing support from the rear, using the Ion Laser Cannon to execute pinpoint strikes against the Tier Two Zerg Race.

Thus, as long as his hands were fast enough, he could even manage to severely injure a Tier Two Zerg every second.

And this was all without him even using his own Tier Three abilities, relying solely on a single Golden Quality Ion Laser Cannon...

...he could change the course of a lopsided war.

’I can’t even imagine what kind of blow I could deal to the global invasion of the Alien Star Mother Empresses once I reach Tier Four and can mass-produce Golden Quality weapons.’

’At that point, forget the Tier Three Zerg Race; I’d even have the confidence to defeat a Tier Four Life Form.’

’My synchronous Upgrade and Copy abilities are like having my own personal technological civilization, condensing the technological essence of an entire peer-level civilization into just a few pieces of equipment.’

’This is the true source of my confidence, the reason I can dominate any opponent of the same tier!’

Meanwhile, the one-sided slaughter continued.

Seeing the Salvation Army—an army forged in the crucible of a decisive battle—now holding a clear advantage over the Hai City Zerg Race, Ling Yi was shocked speechless.

She knew full well that the weapon in Lin Feng’s hands was only playing a supporting role. In reality, the two Tier Two Battle Groups and the Super Fleet alone were enough to annihilate this surging Swarm, which she had previously considered unstoppable.

Lin Feng was merely speeding up the process of their destruction, while also ensuring that not a single Zerg escaped.

One after another, the Tier Two Zergs fell before the cannons and blades of the Tier Two Battle Groups.

Ling Yi took a deep breath to compose herself.

"Thank goodness I made it. If I’d been just half a minute later..."

"...I would have had to bet everything I have."

As he continued to wound the Tier Two Zergs, Lin Feng replied coolly,

"Weren’t you the one who started this fight? If you want to use someone else’s blade to do your killing, you’d better be prepared to get burned."

Chided by Lin Feng, Ling Yi pouted for a moment before smiling gratefully.

"Thank you for that. If you hadn’t arrived in time, I probably would’ve been sliced in half by that damned Samurai Hunter Zerg..."

"But this new batch of Samurai Hunter Zergs has learned to fly, just like the Genetic Warriors. It makes their surprise attacks much easier, and they’re harder to detect."

Lin Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. He stared at a falling Samurai Hunter Zerg and continued the analysis,

"On top of that, compared to before, these Hunter Zergs are now equipped with Biological Armor made of the same material as the Tier Two Giant Mandibles. That’s even more trouble than their new flying ability."

"If the Hai City Mother Empress also equips them with ranged weapons, then these fully-armed Samurai Hunter Zergs—aside from a slight lack of combat intelligence and coordinated tactics—would have individual strength on par with a Tier Two Corps. Factoring in their Fusion Level, they might even be a cut above our own Genetic Combat Teams..."

As war machines engineered from the Primitive Zerg Race, the Mother Empresses clearly possessed an extremely strong ability to learn and imitate.

And this was precisely what worried Lin Feng.

Previously, he had been able to rely on his rapid Level progression and mass-produced Replicas of his equipment to establish an absolute advantage for the soldiers under his command.

But now, with the Hai City Mother Empress engaging in an arms race, he believed it wouldn’t be long before more ranged weapons—or new types of Zergs with ranged attack capabilities—appeared on the battlefield.

Ling Yi completely understood Lin Feng’s concerns. After a Tier Three Mid-stage Mother Empress achieves a deeper level of the Infinite Reproduction Realm, it can unlock more of the Biological Weapons Gene Library.

That was a treasure trove the Zerg Race had accumulated over hundreds of millions of years...

It even included things like Biological Laser Weapons, similar to the one Lin Feng was holding.

And the Suicide Bugs that the Wind-winged Zergs had unleashed earlier were merely one of the cheapest, most low-grade types in the Genetic Library.

If resources were plentiful, there were even various types of kamikaze attack bugs.

Their bodies were filled with highly flammable and explosive materials; they would rush at the enemy and detonate themselves.

However, because these dangerous species couldn’t be recycled and were difficult to store safely, they were rarely mass-produced. They were usually hatched right before a battle for immediate use, to avoid any accidents that might harm their own forces.

After hearing Ling Yi’s explanation, Lin Feng began to ponder how the Jin City Base should respond to such attack methods.
