Capítulo 115: Chapter 115: Land and Sea Navigator, Duplicate the Warship!
The moment Lin Feng saw the prompt, he grasped the lv21 Armor-Piercing Cannon on his back, activating its bullet-time attribute. Instantly, his physique increased by 20%, and his nervous response speed synchronized, slowing down his perception of nearby events.
This way, even though the countdown was only ten seconds, Lin Feng effectively had over ten seconds to react.
He quickly scanned the three options.
The first option, Indestructible, was immediately ruled out. Upgrading to a battleship meant it would rarely need to cause damage through direct impact, and with increased speed, the risk of being surrounded was minimal.
Thus, the battleship's defense and damage were not immediate concerns.
The choice boiled down to the second option, Super Firepower, and the final one, the upgraded ground-effect flight mode: Land and Sea Navigator.
The former could maximize the battleship's damage, transforming its heavy machine guns and autocannons into ten lv20 battleship cannons, with a damage rating of 250 and a range far exceeding Lin Feng's lv21 Armor-Piercing Cannon, capable of striking targets 20 kilometers away.
It could suppress insect forces from a distance, equivalent to firing from one end of the city to the other.
Although these lv20 cannons might lack additional attributes, one salvo from them had the might of an artillery battalion.
This would multiply the Land Cruiser Battleship's firepower several times.
With further upgrades, its power could even surpass the firepower coverage of Lin Feng's Armor-Piercing Cannon.
The latter option, Land and Sea Navigator, promised epic enhancements, solving Lin Feng's long-standing fuel issues with infinite endurance!
As long as there were insect corpses, it could keep moving!
Fuel replacement implied an overall engine upgrade, boosting its power tremendously. Combined with a doubled maximum speed and terrain adaptability...
It could decimate large insect armies.
With continuous harassment, it could dominate the battlefield.
One option leaned towards rear support, the other towards versatility and material gathering from insect forces.
Each had its pros and cons.
As Lin Feng was torn between them, Chen Yanyan's voice suddenly echoed in his mind:
"Lin Feng, I want speed!"
Hearing this, Lin Feng hesitated no longer, choosing Land and Sea Navigator in the final second of the countdown!
The prompt vanished, and the Flying Wing Vehicle flashed orange, transforming into a sleek land battleship.
It extended 20 meters in length, with navy warship-like streamlined lines at both ends, a five-meter beam at its widest, a five-meter average height, and a seven-meter tall two-story bow.
The battleship had three modes of movement: four pairs of 1.5-meter solid rubber tires at the front and rear for primary propulsion.
The undercarriage housed retractable tracks for rough terrain or on-the-spot maneuvering.
The original ground-effect flight mode was upgraded to jet outlets on the battleship's sides, expelling rapid airflow to reduce ground pressure, achieving hover-like movement.
The combination of these three modes fulfilled the "great feat" of Land and Sea Navigation.
Lin Feng gazed at the flame-cloud-patterned, sharp battleship, his heart stirred.
Especially the five-meter-wide maw at the bow and stern, with retractable side iron barriers forming a 15-meter-wide funnel, acting like a harvester, collecting insect corpses!
Lin Feng thought of the mining vehicles in games.
Now, he could kill and collect, cleaning the battlefield spotless, leaving the insect queen with nothing.
Choosing Land and Sea Navigator was the right decision.
The newly unveiled Land Cruiser Battleship drew the attention of the temporary camp's patrolling team, who were amazed.
Chen Yanyan emerged from the battleship with a smile.
She stepped down the automatic folding ladder from a hidden side door, joining Lin Feng in admiring the battleship's majestic presence.
Seeing her slightly flushed cheeks and excitement as she clung to his arm, Lin Feng nodded with a smile.
The decision to choose Land and Sea Navigator was for Chen Yanyan.
She was the captain of the Land Cruiser Battleship!
She was the most familiar with the battleship and deeply bonded with it, second only to Lin Feng.
The upgrade results confirmed Lin Feng's trust in Chen Yanyan was well-placed.
Currently, Lin Feng didn't lack in combat power. With the duplication skill, he could mass-produce shotguns and, with his soldiers, easily eliminate thousands of Black Spinal Bugs or Tiger Bug squads.
This also provided training for them.
If the battleship's super firepower took care of everything, what would Lin Feng use to train his subordinates?
He alone couldn't face the insect queen's massive army and fight her to the death.
Cultivating subordinates was to hold off the insect swarms and reclaim human territory.
Lin Feng needed a high-mobility, powerful vehicle. With Land and Sea Navigator, the lv20 Land Cruiser Battleship's attributes appeared before him:
"Land Cruiser Battleship lv20/29, Orange Quality"
"Upgrade Points 0/10, Defense 180, Damage 150, Average Speed 200 km/h, Endurance Limit 1000 km"
"Extra Attributes: Bio-Armor (Defense +70), Armor-Piercing Bow (Damage +60),
Infinite Firepower (Ten Machine Guns, Average Damage 40),
Self-Propelled Artillery (Three lv19 Autocannons, Damage 160, Ammo 9000, Bullet Regen 1/1s),
Life Radar (1 Upgrade Point detects all entities with health over 50 within a ten-kilometer radius),
Land and Sea Navigator: Storage space and ground-effect flight mode upgrade, harvest energy from insect corpses for infinite endurance, max speed +100%, adaptable to any terrain, internal space grows by 10 cubic meters per upgrade point. Current living/combat area 150 cubic meters, storage space 500 cubic meters."
"Note: Land and Sea Navigator includes corpse collection, processing, smelting production line, bio-power furnace."
Lin Feng reviewed everything. The Land Cruiser Battleship's basic attributes increased moderately, likely due to its size; the pair of orange Tiger Bug mandibles only added 30 defense and 20 damage points, but the average speed increased over 30%, reaching 200 km/h.
This meant in Land and Sea Navigator mode, the battleship's max speed could hit a terrifying 400 km/h, nearly the takeoff speed of a small propeller plane, comparable to a Cyan Wing Bug's dive.
Escaping Tier 2 Tiger Bug pursuit was just a matter of hitting the gas.
In comparison, Indestructible's cost-benefit was much lower, with only an 80 defense and 40 damage increase, offering little against early Tier 2 Tiger Bugs compared to Land and Sea Navigator.
With Chen Yanyan's driving skills, she could lead Tier 2 Tiger Bugs on a merry chase.
In future city defenses against insects, the Land Cruiser Battleship would need significant upgrades.
But for now, the focus was on harvesting from the insect queen, acquiring Black Spinal Bug evolution points and mandibular materials, and capturing rare Tiger Bugs to quickly level up the Armor-Piercing Cannon and Land Cruiser Battleship.
And leveling up Chen Yanyan, Shen Jie, and others.
Core team members needed to complete Tier 2 awakening fast to stabilize the situation.
Otherwise, a group of late-stage Tier 1s at the same level wouldn't hold the reins.
With the upgrade excitement fading, urgency replaced it.
Tier 2 insects weren't as common as Black Spinal Bugs, often elusive.
Lin Feng's preparations for ambushing them had previously failed.
Having defeated an entire Tiger Bug squad, even a victory-distracted queen would realize humanity's power threatened future expansions.
Tier 2 insects, especially Tiger Bugs, would be tightly controlled.
Seeing the lv20 Land Cruiser Battleship's 0/10 upgrade points, Lin Feng felt a headache.
Unlike the lv21 Armor-Piercing Cannon, the battleship was a comprehensive piece of equipment; upgrades required killing ten same-tier entities for ten points.
Ten Tiger Bugs could level Lin Feng and the Armor-Piercing Cannon to lv23, maxing out bullet-time attributes, but only raise the battleship one level, slightly enhancing Land and Sea Navigator.
After setting aside his joy, Lin Feng looked at the lv21 Armor-Piercing Cannon in hand, with its 3/3 upgrade points, and continued its upgrade.
First, upgrade the easily leveled Armor-Piercing Cannon, then use its firepower to harvest Tier 2 Tiger Bugs, helping the Land Cruiser Battleship accumulate upgrade points quickly.
This was Lin Feng's strategy in Tier 1.
Now, it needed repeating, albeit more challenging.
To find and kill Tier 2 insects, Lin Feng prepared to delve deep into insect territory.
But first, he needed to prepare his 150 team members with superior combat abilities, making them elite field soldiers.
Chen Yanyan eagerly ascended to the battleship's bow, sitting in the captain's seat, ready to drive the Land and Sea Navigating war beast.
Linking her mind to the battleship, she controlled its functions, activating its systems. The ten heavy machine guns and three lv19 autocannons extended, scanning for targets.
The roaring engine, combined with steam jets from its sides, echoed the era's battleships ruling the seas.
After reaching lv24, Lin Feng planned to equip the battleship with Super Firepower, marking its battlefield domination!
For now, familiarizing with the battlefield was the priority.
Lin Feng boarded the battleship, instructing Chen Yanyan to take it for a test drive.
Li Ran and others, including surviving soldiers, awoke to the noise, stepping out to see the massive creation Lin Feng had forged!
They were in awe.
It was reminiscent of the navy's glory days.
The navy was crucial for the Federation's dominance, with a cruiser once repelling an entire carrier strike group.
Sadly, they perished in the insect attacks, leaving the army to retreat along the coast without naval support.
Seeing this "Land and Sea Navigator" reignited their spirits!
Large weapons always inspired.
By evening, the arrival of five trucks further boosted morale!
Han Yuxin and Hu Fei delivered much-needed supplies, including fuel, food, and medical items.
With ample resources, the camp settled into a comfortable evening around the bonfire.
For Lin Feng, the most crucial delivery was the steel plates, filling three trucks to a total of 100 tons!
Duplicating an lv19 Grenade Launcher required 100 kg of steel, so one ton produced ten, arming 150 soldiers with one each used 15 tons.
But Lin Feng's ambitions went beyond that.
The troop transports used for the 201 escape were too basic, unfit for intense field battles, so Lin Feng eyed the battleship.
Duplicating the lv20 Land Cruiser Battleship into lv19 Flying Wing Vehicles, each carrying 20 people, meant needing only eight to transport everyone.
Even without the Flying Wing Vehicle's attributes, the base lv19 model surpassed most armored vehicles.
With 150 defense, 130 damage, and 150 km/h speed, they could handle Black Spinal Bug armies.
Escaping Tiger Bug pursuit would be easy.
If further enhanced with Cyan Wing Bug wings for ground-effect flight...
Lin Feng would be satisfied.
With a prayer for manageable material needs, Lin Feng touched the steel.
A prompt appeared:
"Consume ten tons of steel to duplicate an lv19 standard vehicle?"
"Note: One-time fusion enhancement available during duplication, using corresponding red-quality materials."
Relieved at the prompt, Lin Feng was thrilled by the note below.
Loaded with soldiers, the vehicle needed no offense; each carried the strongest weapon, an lv19 Grenade Launcher duplicate.
For a platform, terrain adaptability was key!
Running, floating, hovering—all possible with Cyan Wing Bug wings!
Lin Feng used ten tons of steel to duplicate a hundred-shotgun, then had drivers and soldiers unload the remaining steel...
Standing atop the steel, he addressed the crowd:
"Maybe you're unaware, but my true ability is synthesizing anything!"
"For example..."
Lifting a 100 kg steel plate, Lin Feng demonstrated a miracle.
A flash of red light...
He now held the powerful weapon everyone envied, the super shotgun only Li Ran, Shen Jie, and a few had!
Seeing the steel pile, the crowd erupted in astonished cheers!
Lin Feng raised the shotgun, firing at a distant slope, creating a ten-meter crater with 190 damage.
The team fell silent.
Lowering the gun, Lin Feng continued:
"Just shotguns aren't enough... We need to kill more insects, collect more materials, to craft even stronger vehicles!"
He pointed to the Land Cruiser Battleship behind him.
The crowd quickly grasped the sergeant's meaning, their fighting spirit igniting like never before!
Erasing the fear from their hasty
escape!
Lin Feng achieved his motivational goal.
Exchanging smiles with Chen Yanyan, Lin Feng walked toward the battleship under Li Ran, Shen Jie, and others' admiring gazes.
To gather fusion materials swiftly,
They would set out for battle at dawn.
