Chapter 390: Chapter 204: Psychology, Battle Statistics, Moving to Jin City

On the other end of the phone, Han Yuxin was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. She figured Lin Feng must have mentioned it to Chen Yanyan after their victory in the decisive battle.

In fact, even before Lin Feng had returned to Wu City, she had already reported to Chen Yanyan that Lin Feng, as the leader of their faction, needed to consider the matter of an heir.

Chen Yanyan hadn’t minded. She was well aware that she wasn’t the best candidate to conceive a child. The Dreadnought Battleship couldn’t lose its Captain, and the entire Super Fleet couldn’t afford to lose a Commander who managed the big picture.

Therefore, this task would likely fall to one of Lin Feng’s other female companions.

Though it bothered her to some degree, Chen Yanyan couldn’t think of a better way to pull Lin Feng out of his grief.

The void left by death often needs to be filled by new life.

Hearing Chen Yanyan bring it up proactively on the phone, Han Yuxin, who had been planning this all along, immediately gave a firm reply:

"Yes, everything is ready."

"I’ve found several doctors who perform the relevant procedure. They’re very experienced, and the hospital’s instruments and equipment are all intact. As soon as the Thirteenth Division returns triumphant and the temporary base is officially established, we can schedule the in-vitro fertilization."

Chen Yanyan nodded. She was less concerned with who would become the mother of the heir and more worried about Lin Feng’s psychological state, as it could easily lead him to lose his reason in battle and end up in a dangerous situation.

This was clearly evident with Shen Jie.

If a child could become a new concern for Lin Feng, he would at least be less reckless in many situations.

While Lin Feng was undergoing his Tier Three Awakening, Chen Yanyan had already learned the details of the battle to kill the Jiangbei Mother Empress in Xi City. She got the information from the close-combat group wielding Chainsaw Swords and the Warriors who had accompanied him on the decapitation strike.

Even though the Tier Three Early Stage Zerg Race Mother Empress had been grievously wounded by a Nuclear Bomb beforehand, it was still immensely powerful. The might of a Tier Three Life Form was far beyond anything a Tier Two could match.

Furthermore, during the main battle in Wu City, Shen Jie was pinned down by Samurai Hunter Zergs and couldn’t break away. This meant the monumental task of killing the Mother Empress fell to Lin Feng alone, causing the risk to skyrocket.

After Lin Feng endured a life-or-death battle and finally killed the Zerg Race Mother Empress, the nearby soldiers holding back the rescuing Swarm were all worried that their leader had sacrificed himself on the Mother Empress’s back.

After all, Lin Feng had been covered in blood, with more streaming from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He hardly looked like a living person.

This was especially true when, after opening his Face Armor, he collapsed onto the Mother Empress Zerg’s corpse, motionless and frozen in place.

It looked as if he had died along with the Mother Empress.

Fortunately, Lin Feng raised his Chainsaw Sword a moment later, and the nearby soldiers finally let out their bated breath, erupting in joyous, victorious cheers.

Although Lin Feng had ultimately survived...

But in Chen Yanyan’s eyes, this was the first time since the beginning of the apocalypse that Lin Feng had suffered such grievous Damage; his life had truly been hanging by a thread.

If Ling Yi, as a Mother Empress Avatar, hadn’t helped Lin Feng neutralize the majority of the Jiangbei Mother Empress’s Spiritual Attack, the result of this decapitation strike clearly would not have achieved such Perfection.

But Ling Yi was, after all, an Avatar of a Zerg Race Mother Empress. Even if it chose to help Lin Feng this time because their interests were aligned, who could guarantee that during the next Mother Empress assassination, it wouldn’t turn on humanity?

After all, the Jiangbei Mother Empress had only chosen to risk an incursion into Taihu Lake because Ling Yi had gone to lure it there.

Chen Yanyan didn’t want to see Lin Feng risk his own skin like that again, especially not when he was mired in grief and rage. With his emotions clouding his judgment, he could easily make an irrational decision.

To prevent that from happening, Lin Feng had to mature emotionally, and quickly.

"Alright. Arrange it as soon as possible. Make this a priority."

Han Yuxin nodded; this was exactly what she wanted.

After all, the sudden arrival of Betty and her people had already caused considerable turmoil in the temporary base. Their methods were clearly more sophisticated and stricter than those of the Federation administrators, who were accustomed to a lax and freewheeling style.

If this continued, the old guard, led by Han Yuxin, would gradually lose their influence.

That was why she was in such a hurry.

Fortunately, Chen Yanyan’s nod of support instantly resolved Han Yuxin’s worries and misgivings.

......

The next morning, Lin Feng woke up.

Chen Yanyan had already made breakfast and walked to the bedside with a change of clothes.

After last night’s emotional catharsis, Lin Feng’s State had clearly improved. After a simple breakfast, he went directly to the meeting room in the academic affairs building.

This also served as his temporary office.

And now, Lin Feng needed to know the status of the entire Thirteenth Division, including personnel losses after the great battle, improvements in overall strength, and spoils of war.

As these things pertained to future organizational structure and personnel assignments, Lin Feng, as the faction’s leader, did not dare to be careless or take a hands-off approach.

The first to report was Li Ran, who knew the situation at the grassroots level of the camp like the back of his hand:

"Of the five thousand two hundred and thirty Warriors, the number of those killed in action—including fleet vehicle crews from the main battlefield—totals nine hundred and twenty-seven."

"Most of the casualties were from urban street fighting. Three hundred and sixty-two were seriously wounded and can no longer fight."

"That leaves us with three thousand nine hundred and forty-one combat-effective members."

"As for strength improvements, one hundred twenty-one of them killed members of the Tier Two Zerg Race, successfully advancing to become Tier Two Awakeners. Following them, we have over a thousand new Tier One Late Stage Awakened, and all members of the War Corps have now entered Tier One Awakening."
