Chapter 380: Chapter 200: Moving the Giant Corpse, Lv30 Ion Laser Cannon (3)

Once the reactive liquid hydrogen was depleted, the Mother Empress’s entire stomach sac had been inflated until it was taut and round. At a full fifty meters wide and over three hundred meters long, it was more than twice the size of the Mother Empress’s body.

Based on the density ratio of hydrogen to air, every cubic meter provides fifteen kilograms of lift. This meant the enormous stomach-sac-turned-airship could generate an astonishing lifting force of over ten thousand tons.

Pulled by the muscles and vessels at its ends and underside, the Mother Empress’s head and tail were gradually lifted from the ground, leaving only the heaviest part of its thorax beneath its head resting on the earth.

This was the Mother Empress’s center of gravity.

But the pressure this part exerted on the ground had become minimal. Even the strong winds blowing hundreds of meters overhead could buffet the suspended, ten-thousand-ton carcass.

Fortunately, it was now the height of summer in August, and the southeast monsoon blowing in from the sea matched the direction they were heading—toward Jin City. Plus, a typhoon would soon arrive, so the favorable winds would be a great help.

All that was needed now was for people on the ground to act as an anchor, correcting its course as it floated.

While Lin Feng was heading north, Liu Yi and his men had already dismantled all the nearby high-voltage power lines. They had collected dozens of thick cables, each more than ten kilometers long, to use as tow ropes.

Lin Feng flew into the air, pulling the cables with him. He secured them one by one to the Zerg carcass, then handed the trailing ends to Liu Yi and his men. Before departing, he gave them a warning:

"Once stretched, the stomach membrane is extremely fragile and won’t stand up to gunfire. Make sure you send men to scout a perimeter of several kilometers to prevent any accidents."

Liu Yi nodded and immediately arranged for a hundred Warriors to disperse around the airship carcass.

Lin Feng led the remaining twenty-odd members of the Tier Two Close Combat Team away, glancing back as he walked to watch the behemoth recede into the distance.

Twenty minutes later, the group arrived in the northern suburbs of Wu City.

Even from a great distance, they could hear the roar of heavy artillery fire coming from the South Suburb to the southeast.

The decisive battle on the border between the two cities was still raging.

Lin Feng led his squad, racing toward the battlefield.

By the time they reached the South Suburb, ten kilometers away, they saw that the Dreadnought Battleship and other Tanks were surrounded by a massive Swarm. Numerous Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs were attempting to break through the barrage of fire to attack the Replica Tanks on the perimeter, while members of the Tier Two Battle Group desperately fought to hold them back.

At the very front of the encirclement, a group of Genetic Warriors was also locked in a desperate struggle.

The Hai City Zerg Race was several times larger than the Jiangbei Zerg Race, with their Tier Two Swarms numbering in the thousands.

At that very moment, a dozen or so Tier Two Tank Flame Beetles were coordinating with Samurai Hunter Zergs, working to encircle and annihilate the Genetic Warriors.

Relying on their thick Outer Armor and enormous size, the Tank Flame Beetles blocked the Genetic Warriors’ path of retreat, then sprayed scorching Corrosive Magma to destroy their Tiger Armor.

With their coordinated assault, only the three captains leading the Genetic Warriors still held an advantage. Among the other forty-plus warriors, many had already been killed.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Lin Feng led the twenty-odd Tier Two members behind him and charged directly into the battlefield.

He had recovered from his injuries during the journey. Now, he activated his Bloodthirsty Frenzy Skill once more, instantly transforming into a War God. Hoisting his Electromagnetic Cannon and Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword, he slaughtered every Tiger Spine Zerg that stood in his way.

Soon, Lin Feng’s charge tore a massive gap through the Zerg Race’s formation, right at the link between their front and rear encirclements.

Nearly a hundred Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs fell to the Chainsaw Swords of the Close Combat Team in his wake!

As an Orange Quality Close Combat Weapon, its potential was now on full display.

Against the Tier Two Zerg Race, the Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword was far more effective than the Lv19 Shotgun.

But with the Tier Jumping Upgrade of the Level 29 Electromagnetic Cannon complete, its Lv29 Replica would become a new nightmare for the Zerg Race.

The arrival of Lin Feng and his men instantly boosted the morale of the human forces on the battlefield.

Just then, as Lin Feng pulled his Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword from a Tiger Spine Zerg’s brain, a sudden warmth spread across the palm of his other hand.

The Tier Jumping Upgrade he had been waiting so long for had finally, after nearly an hour, successfully completed:

Level 29 Electromagnetic Cannon Tier Jumping Upgrade complete!
