As soon as Lin Feng flew out of the city, he saw the Invincible Fleet across the Great River in Chang City, locked in a battle with dozens of giant Tier Two Zergs.

The fierce battle had nearly torn the city to shreds, but luckily, it was deserted.

If any survivors were still hiding inside, hoping against hope, one could only wish them good luck.

At that moment, Chen Yanyan was commanding the entire fleet from aboard the Land Patrol Battleship.

Twenty Flying Wing Tanks raced through the city streets, dodging toppling buildings and flying chunks of concrete, all while searching for opportunities to strike back.

From a distance, the entire city was a swirling cloud of thick, gray-yellow dust, pierced by the bright yellow flashes of explosions, Pulse Cannon fire, and streams of Corrosive Magma from the Zerg Race.

’Could an elite Zerg squad sent by the Hai City Mother Empress as reinforcements have accidentally run into Chen Yanyan’s fleet?’

’This skirmish was probably unexpected for both sides... No, the Hai City Mother Empress definitely knew...’

Lin Feng’s pupils contracted. He transformed into a streak of light and shot toward the battlefield over ten kilometers away.

With the Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword in his right hand and the Electromagnetic Cannon in his left, Lin Feng used his Flying Tiger Armor’s Flight Mode to move as if unopposed. He contacted the Land Patrol Battleship on the battlefield, preparing to kill the giant Tier Two Zergs hiding in the smoke and dust.

As he neared the battlefield, the forms of the Zerg Race gradually came into focus...

Back in the Underground Hive, he hadn’t gotten a true sense of the Pulse War Scorpions’ size. Now, up close on the city surface, he could see that every single Tier Two Middle Stage Pulse War Scorpion was as large as a building.

And the three Tank Flame Beetles that had crawled out of a cavern were thirty to forty meters long, their bodies a full size larger than the Land Patrol Battleship...

They were practically mobile war fortresses.

Relying on their thick, defensive armor, they were completely unfazed by the bombardment from the vehicle-mounted Shotguns. Shells dealing 190 Damage only left shallow dents on the Tank Flame Beetles.

It was difficult to even break their Defense, let alone kill them.

Seeing this, Lin Feng didn’t hesitate for a second. He immediately used his Mind Sensing Skill to pinpoint the Zergs’ locations, then flew straight for them.

Among the elite Zerg squad ambushing the fleet, the ranged Pulse War Scorpions were the most troublesome.

They were also the ones causing the most Damage!

They were the most destructive!

A quick glance gave him their detailed Identification data:

[Pulse War Scorpion, Lv. 26/29]

[Life Value: 620, Physique: 600, Spirit: 126]

[Evaluation: A multifunctional Tier Two Zerg Race, capable of both melee and ranged combat, bred using the genes of Blue Star Scorpions and other arachnids. Equipped with a biological Pulse Cannon, its effective firing range reaches three kilometers at the Tier Two Middle Stage. It is a powerful weapon for breaching defensive lines.]

Seeing the upgraded Pulse War Scorpions, Lin Feng knew. The Hai City Mother Empress hadn’t been cowering. Instead, she had been secretly developing even more powerful Tier Two Zergs, hoping to seize the advantage in their next confrontation.

’Just at the Tier Two Middle Stage, the Pulse War Scorpions already have a three-kilometer strike range. No wonder the fleet is trapped in such a grueling battle.’

Taking a few unexpected hits—even if not a direct hit from a Plasma Cannon—the resulting electrical blast alone could cause significant damage to the Battleships and Tanks.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, raised the Electromagnetic Cannon in his left hand, and began to take aim.

’The Pulse War Scorpions have formidable Attack Power, but as ranged units, their Armor and Defense Power are actually very low. A glass-cannon evolutionary path.’

’And against an Electromagnetic Cannon that deals 900 Damage, they are completely defenseless.’

Lin Feng immediately activated Eye of the Death God, using its predictive targeting to lock on and take out all the Pulse War Scorpions with headshots!

’When it comes to ranged weaponry, they can’t even compare to a tenth of the Electromagnetic Cannon’s power!’

Once he was done, the remaining duration of his Flying Tiger Armor’s Flight Mode entered a thirty-second countdown.

Lin Feng immediately landed on the Land Patrol Battleship.

Chen Yanyan’s voice came from the bridge behind him:

"We were ambushed by the Zerg Race! Right in the center of Chang City..."

"This Zerg squad was targeting the fleet specifically. We’ve already sustained losses. Especially from those smaller, elusive Tier Two Zergs—they must be Samurai Hunter Zergs! They’re hunting down our isolated Flying Wing Tanks!"

Hearing Chen Yanyan’s report, Lin Feng’s expression grew grim. His fears had come true.

’The cunning Hai City Mother Empress knew full well that the incubation Nest for the Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs North of the River had probably already fallen. No matter how fast the Zerg reinforcements were, they couldn’t keep up with the humans’ speed of destruction...’

’Once the Node Mother’s signal was severed, there was no point in reinforcing the area North of the River!’

’So she acted decisively, changing her target from Lin Feng’s group raiding the Nest to the fleet, which posed the greatest threat to the Zerg expansion.’

’So that’s why the elite Tier Two Zerg squad sent as reinforcements was so late. They had arrived a long time ago. It was just that compared to attacking Lin Feng’s group, who had already established a foothold, ambushing the arriving human fleet held far greater strategic importance.’

’Destroy the fleet, and Lin Feng’s group North of the River would have no way to make a quick retreat.’

’This would give the Hai City Mother Empress more room to maneuver.’

’Intercepting the fleet was a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone!’

But since Chen Yanyan didn’t know what had happened in the northern district, she naturally hadn’t taken many precautions.

Combined with her rush to get there, her choice to advance in a straight line led the fleet into an urban area where it was difficult to leverage its mobility, straight into the ambush set by the Zerg Race.

Once the fleet lost its mobility advantage, it couldn’t engage in kiting or guerrilla tactics...

It could only get bogged down in a bitter fight, picked off one by one by the swift Samurai Hunter Zergs.
