Chapter 232 A Life-and-Death Crisis
The more you fight, the more you feel your own weakness and the enemy's strength; the more you fight, the more you desire power. Richemont has a deep understanding of this.
When he told Mu Qi and others all the secrets about the angels, demons, and even "that person", the effect was naturally shocking. After all, no matter who it was, when they first heard about these things that seemed to exist only in myths, it was impossible for them to remain calm.
At first, Jianjia seemed to be a little worried about the future, but when he heard that everything that was happening on Earth was just an experiment conducted by a high-level civilized race, he immediately became determined. If all this was true, then this war was no longer a simple battle between biological races on Earth, but a battle for freedom and dignity for all intelligent life on Earth!
The weapons that the Insect Cavalry Corps needed had not yet been found, but Lifeng did not seem to be in a hurry at all. Although they did not know why Lifeng was so calm, Mu Qi and others understood that Lifeng must have a reason for doing so, so they all felt relieved.
After nightfall, Muzzi and others stayed behind, and all the deputy corps commanders and above of the entire Dawn SS were summoned to start a meeting.
Including Ergouzi, there are only a dozen or so senior executives in the entire Dawn Fortress.
Li Feng first briefly introduced the identities of the Insect Kings such as Mu Qi to many officers, and many officers immediately stood up and saluted the Insect Kings.
Originally, these high-ranking officers already knew about Mu Qi's existence, and they were fully aware of the importance of this friend in Li Feng's heart. After seeing the Zerg War yesterday, they were full of respect for these Zerg Kings. In this apocalypse, the most respected thing is always power. The power displayed by the Zerg and the changes that the Zerg brought to the Dawn Fortress were enough to make these legion commanders respect them.
Let alone those powerful soldier bugs, they are enough to make all mutant warriors salivate. Who doesn't want to have a mighty mount? And this mount is not show, it is no worse than the original hot weapons in human civilization, and it is even more flexible and swift. Among the several major legions in the Dawn Party SS, the most enviable one is the Bug Cavalry Legion. None of the mutant warriors are fools. The joining of these several big bug kings also means the joining of hundreds of thousands of elite soldier bugs outside the Dawn Fortress. Let alone the Ten Thousand Insect Sound Beam Cannon, the heavy armor and sharp combat legs of the soldier bugs are enough to make everyone envious.
Honglian and Luotian, the two commanders of the Burning Legion and the Frost Legion, who were originally extremely proud, looked at the Insect Kings with eyes full of admiration and expectation, and their eyes were almost starry. This made Muqi, Jianjia and others feel a little uncomfortable, and even Lifeng couldn't stand it anymore.
After a light cough to remind everyone to pay attention, Richemont began to talk about the reconstruction plan of the insect cavalry corps, which was immediately unanimously agreed. At the same time, Richemont has also decided that if the reconstruction effect is significant, the soldier insect mount will be promoted to the entire SS. By then, the combat effectiveness of the army that has always been an all-cavalry army will definitely be several times higher than it is now.
After hearing the promise from their leader, Honglian, Luo Tian and others finally felt relieved and began to happily plan what the future would be like.
However, Richemont then looked serious and began to lay out the problems currently faced by Dawn Fortress one by one.
Although the Dawn Fortress has developed to a certain scale, its development has also been full of twists and turns. First of all, the most obvious enemy is the Chuancheng Fortress. This fortress, which controls the entire southwest of the Red Star Land, has always regarded the Dawn Fortress as a thorn in its side. The commander of the fortress, Xu Hao, now hates the mutants in the Dawn Fortress. Moreover, Lifeng has understood through the battle of getting the silver colonization suit that the reason why Xu Hao captured mutants is not only to create powerful cyborg warriors, but more to allow his colonization suit armor to absorb energy and evolve .
Now Xu Hao probably doesn't know the news that Li Feng has returned alive. I believe it won't be long before the army from Chuancheng Fortress will attack again.
Moreover, this Xu Hao is the elder of the God's Servants Hermitage. Behind him is the God's Servants Hermitage, a mysterious organization composed entirely of colonialists. We must be on guard against them.
Secondly, a hidden danger even greater than that of Chuancheng Fortress is the Southwest Insect King!
As a powerful or dictatorial Zerg King, the strongest king of the Southwest Zerg, if he found out that the army of soldiers led by the five Zerg Kings he sent out was completely wiped out in Dawn Fortress, and even several Zerg Kings betrayed him, I believe the Zerg King would be furious. At that time, with millions or even tens of millions of Zergs approaching, with the current strength of Dawn Fortress, although it can fight, it will definitely suffer huge losses, or even be destroyed.
Then, there are the twelve archangels and the angels behind the great disaster of the entire earth. No one knows when the twelve archangels will appear, and when the angels will appear. No matter how confident Lifeng is, he knows that the power he has now, or even the power of all creatures on the entire earth, is not enough to pose a threat to the angels. All they can do is evolve and evolve again, and become stronger and stronger.
Even though the battles and gains of the past few days had made the senior generals of the Dawn SS all very happy, when they heard the difficulties mentioned by Richemont, they all frowned and put away their original underestimation of the enemy. Especially those legion commanders who had not known about the existence of the angels before, after learning all this, the shock they felt was simply beyond words. Even Mu Qi and other insect kings had just learned about this. For a moment, the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone was digesting the information they had received.
Lifeng looked around and saw that although everyone was shocked, there was no fear on their faces, as if even the biggest trouble was just a solvable one. He couldn't help but feel relieved. All these mutant warriors were rescued by him from the bottom of the human society in the end times. They had lost their confidence in survival, and some even wanted to die. Now they have such faith, how can he not be happy.
"Okay, these problems are not that difficult. No matter what, we can just abandon the Dawn Fortress and run into the wilderness. As long as we have the belief of never giving up, we can overcome everything." Lifeng smiled and said in a deep voice; "But there is another problem that we must prepare for and start considering from now on."
"What problem could be more important than this?" Er Gouzi asked with a grin.
"Food." Li Feng said, and for the first time, a trace of worry appeared on his face.
"Head of State, we still have enough food. Based on the current population, we should be able to hold out for a few months." Hearing this, Luo Tian couldn't help but respond.
Li Feng said slowly: "Have you ever thought about this? The human world is now in darkness, and crops cannot photosynthesize, so there is no output. We rely entirely on the food stored before the catastrophe to survive. When this food is exhausted, what will we eat? Will we eat ourselves?"
Hearing this, everyone immediately understood the seriousness of the problem.
Even if there are some low-level soldier bugs available for consumption, this is not a long-term solution. First of all, the mutants led by Richemont have formed an alliance with some Zerg, so he cannot take action himself. Muqi and others will not agree to such a thing happening on a large scale.
Let's take a step back and say that even if we can really hunt down the Zerg and the Beast, let's not talk about whether we can defeat them. Even if we can achieve this, what will they eat after eating these creatures? If we go deeper, there will be a question: what do the Zerg eat?
After Li Feng finished saying this, everyone immediately looked towards Mu Qi and other insect kings.
Muzi thought for a moment and said, "The Zerg can be said to be an omnivorous animal. As long as there is organic matter, they can basically eat it to satisfy their hunger, but the wild grass in the wilderness is not one of them. These wild grasses seem to have mutated and are highly toxic to the Zerg. However, the Zerg also has an advantage, which is that they can store energy for a long time. After eating once, they can sustain themselves for dozens of days. But if they do not eat for too long, they will also die from malnutrition."
He then added, "The hundreds of thousands of soldier insects that came this time had eaten up hundreds of thousands of zombies in the ruins of a medium-sized city before they set out. In fact, for the Zerg, food is the most serious problem, which is why the Zerg King has been restricting the main body of the Zerg to hibernation."
"Hibernation?" Li Feng frowned and asked.
"Yes, the main group of the southwestern Zerg is at the southernmost tip of the entire continent, even to the coast. Although there are some organic matter that can be preyed on in the sea, the number is still insufficient, so most of the Zerg have entered hibernation under the control of the Zerg King. As far as I know, the Zerg King seems to be waiting for an opportunity..."
"Cloud Disaster!?" Li Feng looked up suddenly and thought of something.
