"Fall back! All Tanks, retreat!"

At the same time, he swung the cannon around, aimed at one of the Tank Flame Beetles, and opened fire.

The goal wasn’t a kill. He just had to break a few of its legs, stop its kamikaze attack, and give the fleet time to escape the city district.

As Chen Yanyan directed the fleet out of the ruined district, they traversed the blazing wreckage left by the detonations...

Lin Feng’s timely shots quickly shattered the Tank Flame Beetle’s three pairs of legs, and its charge began to slow.

Just then, Chen Yanyan’s shout crackled over the comms:

"Lin Feng, the Samurai Hunter Zergs are attacking! They’re harassing the Tanks during the retreat! A few are trapped!"

Lin Feng’s face was grim as he shouted back:

"Tell them to circle up and hold their ground! Get them out of the Tank Flame Beetles’ blast radius first. I’ll be there in a minute!"

As he spoke, he continued firing the Electromagnetic Cannon at his target.

This time, however, Lin Feng had learned his lesson. He aimed directly for the Tank Flame Beetle’s abdomen.

The devastating power of the previous corrosive chemical detonations came from the violent oxidation reaction being repeatedly compressed within a sealed environment.

It was just like a gas tank exploding.

Now, by rupturing the Tank Flame Beetle’s abdomen, even if the chemical fuel ignited, it would just spill out through the opening.

At most, it would only create a small, burning pool of fire.

After killing the remaining Tank Flame Beetles, Lin Feng activated his Flying Tiger Armor’s Flight Mode, which had finished its Cooling. He shot off like a meteor toward the besieged Tanks.

By now, a Lv19 Flying Wing Tank Replica had already been sliced open by the Tier Two Samurai Hunter Zergs with their Giant Mandible Arm Blades.

The ordinary Warriors inside, having never witnessed such a scene, scrambled to raise their Shotguns and fight back.

However, the Samurai Hunter Zergs easily dodged, using the Tank’s own Armor for cover. Then they swung their blades—several meters long—and stabbed at the panicked Warriors trapped inside.

A single thrust pierced their Red Profound Armor, gutting them. The Zerg then flicked its blade, flinging the bisected bodies out of the Tank.

These were new recruits. Many weren’t even Awakeners. Faced with a Tier Two Zerg at point-blank range, the Lv9 Enhanced People were paralyzed by its oppressive aura, losing even the courage to fight back.

The one-sided slaughter continued.

But then, the roar of a powerful cannon shot echoed around the besieged Tank.

One after another, the Tier Two Middle Stage Samurai Hunter Zergs exploded, their chests bursting as they were blown to pieces.

The few survivors in the cockpit struggled to lift their heads and look into the distance.

There, between the distant skyscrapers, a mysterious man hovered in mid-air, holding a long rifle and sniping the Samurai Hunter Zergs.

After he killed eight of them in quick succession, the remaining Samurai Hunter Zergs reacted. They immediately abandoned their target, ducking between the skyscrapers and using the buildings as cover.

Lin Feng lowered his rifle, deactivating Bullet Time and Eye of the Death God. His gaze was icy.

’These Samurai Hunter Zergs are too smart. While they lack the destructive power and Defense of the Tiger Spine Zergs, their battlefield adaptability is extremely high.’

’This combat intelligence stems from the Human Awakener parts fused into them.’

’Trying to annihilate them with a single tactic...’

’...is clearly unrealistic.’

Seeing his targets had taken cover, Lin Feng slung the Electromagnetic Cannon over his back. He brandished the Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword in his right hand and descended upon the Tank like a god.

He looked at the Warriors who had survived the ordeal and said flatly:

"If the Tank can still move, get out of here. Now."

The commanders of the remaining vehicles tried to start their engines. Unfortunately, three of the Tanks were too heavily damaged, and their crews were down to a third of their number.

So they scrambled aboard the operational Tanks and sped away.

Once the Tanks had successfully rendezvoused with the main fleet, Lin Feng turned his head. He used Mind Sensing to lock onto every target, then vanished in a blur of motion.

「Ten minutes later, on top of a hotel skyscraper.」

The Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword was slowly withdrawn from the humanoid centipede’s chest. With a flick of the blade, he sliced off the malformed human head that had been grafted onto its lower abdomen.

Inside his Flying Tiger Armor, spattered with blood and gore, Lin Feng raised a hand to wipe the viscous fluid from his visor. A notification flashed in his vision:

Samurai Hunter Zerg, Lv26/29

Life Value: 600, Physique: 950, Spirit: 250

Superpower Awakening: Physical Enhancement (Physique Attribute Value increased by 50% for 5 minutes, two-hour Cooling).

Target confirmed deceased.

After a difficult fight to kill the last one, Lin Feng looked up toward Hai City in the South...

Then, he flew back to the temporary camp in the residential district North of the River.

Chen Yanyan had already arrived with the remnants of the fleet, rendezvousing with the Warriors and the Tier Two Corps.

Seeing Lin Feng return safely, she offered a faint smile. Then, her gaze fell upon the woman standing beside the Tier Two Zerg Eggs, and her brow furrowed slightly.

The final battle was about to begin.

And it would be even more difficult to deal with than a real-life Tier Two Elite Zerg Race.

Even harder to defeat!
