Chapter 186: Chapter 134: Absolute Defense: Showdown with the Samurai Hunter Zergs

However, having resolved the immediate crisis, Lin Feng didn’t hesitate for a second. After slicing one of the attackers with his Chainsaw Sword, he raised the Level 29 Electromagnetic Cannon in his left hand, aimed behind the Pulse War Scorpion’s corpse, and fired an Armor-Piercing Bullet!

BOOM!

A staggering 900 points of Damage blasted out a ten-meter-wide crater, and the resulting shockwave shattered the residual Shield Energy of the Absolute Defense Form.

As the tremors stopped and the explosion died down...

Lin Feng took a deep breath, looking at the scattered humanoid limbs inside the crater before him. Then, with a deep frown, he turned around.

Next to the Pulse War Scorpion’s corpse, the would-be assassin he had sliced in two with his Chainsaw Sword was still alive.

What came into view was a giant, humanoid Zerg.

It was about three meters tall. Its lower body had two pairs of thick legs that allowed it to stand upright. The ends of its limbs were lined with sharp barbs, enabling it to silently climb and hang upside down from the ceiling of the nest.

Its upper body was rather grotesque. It had a mantis-like head with multi-layered, serrated mouthparts, and its large eyes were filled with hexagonal facets. Below its head was a pair of chelicerae, as well as two pairs of limbs that had the appearance of Zerg Race skin but ended in the structure of human hands.

Each of its four hands held a Bone Blade. Judging by the material, they were as exceptionally hard as the Giant Mandibles of the Tiger Spine Zergs.

Two of the blades were smooth and sharp, while the other two were serrated, specifically designed for cutting through human Battle Armor.

Beyond all this, what shocked and confused Lin Feng the most was...

On the chest of this strange creature, there was a bizarre, fleshy tumor in the shape of a human face.

And the hoarse, agonized shrieks he heard were coming from the mouth of the human face on that very tumor!

If it were only that, even someone as experienced as Lin Feng could have grudgingly accepted it. But the voice coming from the facial tumor was remarkably similar to someone from his memory!

As the face from his memory surfaced in his mind, he took another close look at the facial tumor before him. Comparing the two appearances...

Lin Feng became increasingly certain that the face on the grotesque Zerg was the very person so deeply etched in his memory.

It was none other than Cheng Zhan, the one who had led an elite squad of Tier One Late Stage Awakened deep into the Swarm. He had recklessly tried to kill a Tier Two Zerg Race member to complete his Tier Two Awakening!

Afterward, he was captured by the Zerg Race, implanted with a parasitic host, and sent to infiltrate the 13th Infantry Division. He thwarted the Federation’s "decapitation strike," helped the Mother Empress successfully breach the first line of defense, and allowed her to devour tens of thousands of soldiers. This ultimately enabled her to advance to the Tier Three Middle Stage ahead of schedule!

It could be said that without Cheng Zhan’s reckless venture...

The Hai City Mother Empress would never have been able to advance so smoothly and become so incredibly powerful.

And now, Cheng Zhan was still proving his "usefulness" by nearly killing him.

Looking at the Identification results that appeared before him...

Lin Feng’s gaze grew colder:

「Samurai Hunter Zerg, Lv. 21/29—Dying State」

「Life Value 30/200, Physique 50/250, Spirit 20/150」

「Superpower Awakening—Stealth Walker (Hides own life aura for five minutes. Cooling time: one hour.)」

「Evaluation: This is a hybrid biological weapon created by incorporating human genetic material. It possesses both the Physical Strength of the Zerg Race and the Spirit and intellect of humans, and can naturally inherit human Superpowers. Never underestimate the Zerg Race’s biotechnology. Their low-intelligence design is merely for ease of control and domination; they are by no means naturally unintelligent. At times, an individual that considers itself clever can instead cause a great catastrophe.」

Lin Feng took a deep breath. The situation was just as he had expected.

From the very beginning, when Cheng Zhan ventured deep into the Swarm, he had been targeted by the Mother Empress even before being controlled by the parasitic host.

She had been laying her plans since then.

Perhaps this was also the reason why the Zerg Race Mother Empress was so keen on conquering human cities.

The human brain, and the racial trait of being able to undergo Superpower Awakening, were their true objectives.

Otherwise, the mountains, forests, and fields outside the city contained dozens of times more Biomass than a city of steel!

And they wouldn’t have to face human resistance and attacks.

If the Mother Empress was allowed to capture and absorb more Awakeners and incubate even more formidable Samurai Hunter Zergs, humanity’s future would surely be in peril.

As Lin Feng, on high alert, continued to cut away the Plasma Tail Cannon of the Pulse War Scorpion, he pondered the consequences of the emergence of the Samurai Hunter Zerg—the Zerg Race’s version of a Genetic Warrior...

From the dark, deep entrance he had come from...

several shrill, agonized cries suddenly rang out!

Lin Feng’s expression changed.

Shen Jie and Qin Hu had also met with disaster!
