A total of ten super-heavy cannons. They would become the Zerg Race’s nightmare from now on, and within their twenty-kilometer range...

...lies absolute truth!

As the Battleship’s transformation completed and it slowly came to a stop, Lin Feng stood on the bridge at the bow, looking at the Lv29 Dreadnought Battleship with a gratified smile.

[Lv29 Dreadnought Battleship Upgrade complete!]

[Dreadnought Battleship Lv. 29/29, Orange Quality]

[Defense: 1000, Damage: 800, Average Speed: 200 km/h, Endurance Limit: 2000 km]

[Extra Attributes: Indestructible, Super Firepower, Land Ship, Life Radar]

[Tier Jumping Upgrade Conditions: Kill one Tier Three Life Form]

[This Upgrade has granted 8 instances of Synchronized Upgrade Energy. It cannot be used for its own Tier Jumping Upgrade and has been stored under Personal Skills.]

[Personal Skills: Genetic Radiation, Bloodthirsty Frenzy (Stored Uses: 12)]

[Currently assignable free upgrades: 1. Note: This upgrade cannot be used for a Tier Jumping Upgrade.]

’Looking over the Dreadnought Battleship’s powerful new Attributes... those eight precious instances of Synchronized Upgrade Energy definitely weren’t wasted.’

Behind Lin Feng, Chen Yanyan was so thrilled her body trembled, too shocked to speak.

The Battleship’s magnificent transformation left her unable to even grasp the Dreadnought Battleship’s current functions and Attributes.

A sense of inadequacy washed over her, the feeling of having the will but not the power...

Her Mechanical Pioneering Superpower was already deeply intertwined with the Dreadnought Battleship, and Lin Feng had also granted her full operational authority over it.

So, Chen Yanyan could also deeply feel the changes from the Battleship’s Upgrade.

And that feeling of inadequacy became even more profound.

At this moment, Lin Feng looked down at his right hand, which she was gripping tightly. He turned to the side and said, full of confidence:

"I used up all the Biological Material we worked so hard to collect from killing Zerg, all in one go, to synthesize this Dreadnought Battleship. From now on, even if we go deep into the complex terrain of the urban jungle, we’ll be able to easily annihilate any Swarm!"

"Even if we encounter an elite team of the Tier Two Zerg Race, they won’t stand a chance!"

Chen Yanyan was too excited to speak, and after Lin Feng’s explanation, she trembled even more.

Although she had sensed something when Lin Feng awakened, she hadn’t expected the changes after this Upgrade to be so immense!

The current Dreadnought Battleship no longer bore any resemblance to the old Land Patrol Battleship.

The former Land Patrol Battleship was merely a littoral combat ship, a small warship with a displacement of just over a thousand tons. But the current Dreadnought Battleship was 240 meters long and 25 meters wide...

It was no different from a World War II-era heavy battleship. In fact, with the bonuses from its new Attributes, the Dreadnought Battleship was even superior in terms of hull Defense and firepower!

The age of naval warfare, with its sturdy ships and powerful cannons, was the period in human military history with the most intense and powerful firepower!

Now, relying on the Land Ship Extra Attribute, Lin Feng had successfully projected this immense firepower to every corner of the land. And with its even greater speed, it could completely crush the still-developing Zerg Race Mother Empress.

By the time Lin Feng finished explaining the new functions and Attributes of the Lv29 Dreadnought Battleship to Chen Yanyan, the distant horizon was gradually brightening.

Dawn had broken.

A new day, a new beginning.

Lin Feng looked at the wide-awake Chen Yanyan, knowing full well that she was too restless to sit still and couldn’t possibly fall asleep...

And so, under her gaze filled with expectation, longing, and even pleading, he sighed softly:

"It’s only a little after five in the morning. Even if you want to set out and pilot the Dreadnought Battleship, the Warriors need to rest."

"Besides, you haven’t slept a wink for a whole day and night, and you’ve been dealing with camp chores. Your mental state has dropped sharply, so..."

Chen Yanyan hugged Lin Feng tightly, looking up at him with pleading eyes. After the initial excitement, the urgency in her heart was beyond words.

Lin Feng let out a long breath, smiled, and then patted her head:

"Alright... it’s too early to set out now. Besides, your Spiritual Attribute isn’t high enough to pilot the current Dreadnought Battleship. So, before the morning is over, you need to raise your own strength as quickly as possible!"

"There are still one hundred and thirty Tier Two Zerg Eggs in the Battleship’s storage space. Go ahead and use them!"

After he finished, Chen Yanyan nodded. She also deeply felt that at only Lv. 21, she could no longer control the current Dreadnought Battleship as freely and easily as before.

To unleash its full combat potential, she needed a corresponding Level of strength herself.

Chen Yanyan immediately stood up, wrapped her arms around Lin Feng’s neck, and gave him a hard kiss. Then she walked into the Battleship’s living quarters, began taking Zerg Eggs from the storage, and started killing them to Upgrade!

Meanwhile, under Lin Feng’s control, the upgraded Battleship returned to University City from the city outskirts.

Because intensive training was about to begin, the Warriors were woken up early in the morning by their respective squad leaders to start the "Demon" training regimen that Li Ran had designed the previous night.

There were combat drills in the morning, as well as live combat training in the afternoon and evening.

The goal was to quickly turn five thousand Warriors into an elite force, ready to enter a combat State at any time, any place.

However, when the Dreadnought Battleship appeared in the plaza at University City, the massive vessel instantly stunned everyone.

Just the tires on the behemoth’s chassis were ten meters high, and the road wheels of its internal tracks were as wide as trucks.

Only humanity’s largest mining equipment could compare in size, but this Steel Giant Beast’s weaponry was equally powerful.

The ten dark muzzles of the great cannons struck fear into the hearts of all who saw them; even the Awakeners of the Tier Two Corps felt the threat of death.

Under a salvo from the giant cannons, all life is equal!

By the speaker’s platform at the front of the plaza, Ling Yi was still sitting in a pavilion under the trees, sipping fine wine from her cup.

She had sat there all night, personally witnessing the Land Patrol Battleship’s transformation into the Dreadnought Battleship before her. At the same time, she grew ever more certain of the theory in her heart.

The Genetic Radiation Lin Feng had used on her had done more than just unseal the genetic memories within the Mother Empress; it had also revealed many secrets from the Zerg Race’s dark past.

After the Zerg Race’s Mother of Life—the current and only Zerg God, controller of the Hive Will—personally performed a Divine Descent and gave her several tasks, Ling Yi became even more convinced that her theory was, in fact, the truth.

Lin Feng was very likely the prophesied one whom the Ancestral Zerg God spoke of before its death.

He would become the chosen one who would liberate the Zerg Race from eternal slavery and oppression.

’So, as long as I stay by his side, I will surely become the next Zerg King and even gain the opportunity for Ascension to Divinity in the future—perhaps even forging an eternal existence!’

At this thought, Ling Yi’s gaze, fixed on the man at the bow of the Dreadnought Battleship, grew even more feverish.

’But for now, I have to carefully arrange the crucial step of him killing a Mother Empress and advancing to Tier Three.’

Standing at the bow and looking down at the Warriors on both sides, Lin Feng’s expression was calm and unruffled.

The twenty-meter-high hull was equivalent to a five- or six-story building. Seen up close, it was even more shocking than seeing it at a pier.

Especially since this Steel Giant Beast could also run rampant across the land, galloping freely.

The Battleship traveled several hundred meters and slowly came to a stop.

From the bow, Lin Feng activated the Flight Mode of his Flying Tiger Armor and slowly descended onto the speaker’s platform.

He looked at the assembled soldiers—including the Warriors, the Tier Two Corps, and several thousand Support Soldiers—who had quickly gathered under Li Ran’s command.

Having witnessed the power of the Dreadnought Battleship, all the soldiers present, regardless of their training level, stood in perfectly uniform ranks.

The entire area was dead silent, without a single whisper.

The solemn and respectful expressions on their faces came from within.

Lin Feng nodded and spoke calmly:

"This Dreadnought Battleship will be our solid shield! Our mobile defense line! Our indestructible war fortress!"

"With it, victory is ours! Humanity will prevail!"

Everyone present began to shout in unison:

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his voice low and powerful:

"The best weapons also need the best soldiers to pilot and control them!"

"At the pre-battle inspection in a few days, I expect to see your hard work, your progress, and your relentless, fearless courage!"

"Now, resume training!"

After he spoke, the soldiers on the field, under Li Ran’s command, erupted with even greater conviction and threw themselves wholeheartedly into their training.

Even the ordinary Enhanced People serving as Support Soldiers began to work harder, wanting a chance to join the Warriors, become Awakeners, and prove themselves!

After using the Dreadnought Battleship to boost morale, Lin Feng went into the conference room to begin planning his next steps.

The first order of business was to arm the Tier Two Corps.

In addition to the standard-issue Level 19 Scatter Cannons, there was also the Lv20 Red Tiger Armor and the Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword.

The most important part...

...was advancing the Genetic Warrior modification!

Immediately, Lin Feng dialed Ling Shuyan’s number.

"Hello, Director Ling. It’s been a few days..."
