Chapter 442: Chapter 221: Integrating the Orange Membrane Wings, Glimpsing Tier Four Life

They had entered their attack formation!

Moving at seven to eight hundred meters per second, all it would take during such a high-speed assault was for them to raise the blade-like claws on the sides of their abdomens and slice through an enemy...

Even Lin Feng, wearing the Flying Tiger Armor, would have his armor instantly broken by such a powerful impact, leaving him severely wounded.

The attack would hit in just four or five seconds!

But he timed it perfectly. Switching the Ion Laser Cannon in his hand back to an Electromagnetic Cannon, he coordinated with Shen Jie, who lay in ambush within the clouds, and fired multiple charged Magnetic Storm Bombs in the direction of the incoming Wind-winged Zergs.

A soccer-ball-sized Magnetic Storm Ball shot from the muzzle.

It flickered with a dazzling blue-white light, containing the purest ionized plasma.

After flying two to three kilometers, the Magnetic Storm Ball expanded to its containment limit in mid-air. Upon reaching over a meter in diameter, it burst instantly, transforming into a powerful electrical shockwave.

It formed a spherical magnetic storm zone with a one-kilometer radius!

Due to the silent nature of the Magnetic Storm Bombs, the unsuspecting Wind-winged Zergs flew straight into the storm zone. They were instantly hit with a shock of over a hundred volts!

Though not fatal, the shock paralyzed their nervous systems, causing the Membrane Wings on their backs—which beat hundreds of times per second—to grind to a halt.

Without the lift from their flapping wings, the Wind-winged Zergs plummeted like kites with broken strings.

But Lin Feng knew they weren’t dead. If the paralysis in their limbs wore off during the fall, their survival instincts would kick in, and they would start flapping their Membrane Wings again.

That would allow them to escape before they hit the ground.

So, without a moment’s hesitation, Lin Feng called for Shen Jie to dive with him in pursuit of the three Wind-winged Zergs.

At the same time, he switched back to his Ion Laser Cannon, locked onto the plummeting bodies of the Zergs, and blasted their abdomens and torsos, finishing them off.

But his ultimate goal was much more than just that!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to set up this ambush!

Relying on his extremely fast reflexes and powerful senses, Lin Feng was the first to grab a falling Wind-winged Zerg. He tore off its pair of Orange Quality, Tier Two Membrane Wings and, using his Particle Control Realm, integrated them into his Flying Tiger Armor.

He then sped toward the second one.

He successfully intercepted it and ripped the Orange, Tier Two Membrane Wings from its back.

Thanks to Shen Jie’s efforts, the last one was also intercepted before it could fall to its death, preventing it from being smashed into a pulp like the other Zerg corpses that fell from ten thousand meters.

It would have been impossible to extract the valuable materials otherwise.

By now, the Flying Tiger Armor’s Membrane Wings had finished integrating and upgrading. The brand-new Flight Mode not only had the incredible maneuverability of a Wind-winged Zerg but could also sustain flight for over an hour. At least he no longer had to worry about endurance issues from overheating and overloading.

The two slowly descended to the ground.

Lin Feng handed the remaining pair of Tier Two Membrane Wings to Shen Jie:

"Assimilate this pair, then remember to bring the materials back to base. I’m going to escort the transport fleet to a safe landing!"

The artificial magnetic storm zone they had just created was spreading a dazzling blue light across the sky. It could be sensed for at least two to three hundred kilometers, and it would soon attract more Wind-winged Zergs to investigate.

And the transport fleet was still at least six or seven minutes from landing at the base.

So the crisis wasn’t over yet.

Shen Jie took the folded, ten-meter-long Membrane Wings, which were still stained with Zerg blood and flesh. He nodded, his gaze shifting to the flashing signal lights of the transport fleet in the sky.

"Understood, Brother Feng."

"I’ll catch up with them!"

Lin Feng grunted in acknowledgment and soared into the sky.

His equipment upgrades were several times faster than Shen Jie’s Devouring Assimilation, allowing him to immediately join the fight in the stratosphere, ten thousand meters up.

Shen Jie, on the other hand, with the performance of his Cyan Wing Zerg Membrane Wings, would need several minutes just to reach a ten-thousand-meter altitude. Even then, he could only set up ambushes; he couldn’t leap into the stratosphere for a frontal assault.

This was also why Lin Feng hadn’t brought the Tier Two Battle Group, armed with Electromagnetic Cannons, into the fight.

When they already had more than enough firepower, a larger group would have only increased the risk of exposing the ambush. Besides, none of the other Battle Group members were as strong as Shen Jie, who had reached Tier Two Peak.

A dozen seconds later, Lin Feng was already back above ten thousand meters, flying at Mach 2.

He then fell in behind the transport fleet, remaining on high alert.

The seconds ticked by. The descending transport fleet had already reached an altitude of five thousand meters and was now only forty kilometers from the air force base.

Lin Feng remained in a circling patrol, guarding against any nearby Wind-winged Zerg Swarms looking for an opportunity to ambush.

He spotted a few probing Wind-winged Zergs at the edge of his Mind Sensing, but most of them merely confirmed there were no enemy fighters in the stratosphere before turning back.

They didn’t try to attack the transport fleet, which was already nearing the air force base.

’Either the High-tier Mother Empress’s blockade order doesn’t cover the garrison base, or the base’s air defenses are strong enough to shoot down Zergs flying at an altitude of four to five thousand meters.’

In any case, about ten minutes later, the transport planes had landed one by one without incident. Lin Feng, seeing his job was done, prepared to return to the surface and regroup with the others.

Just then, he suddenly looked up at the starry sky.

A bright moon hung in the southeast.

On it lay the secret of his origins—the one thing he wanted to know most.

’Perhaps I can borrow one of the Federation’s lunar rockets. I could fly to the Moon before I advance to Tier Four and unravel all these mysteries.’

In that instant, a strange impulse surfaced in Lin Feng’s mind—an urge to just keep flying upward.

He wanted to confirm whether the space beyond Blue Star’s atmosphere had already been occupied by the Zerg Race.
