There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
Qin Hu’s offer of the sword ant he was definitely after sothing else.
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, having already guessed as much.
But he wasn’t sure what price Qin Hu would demand. After all, the new Tier Two Zerg Race were limited in number, and even if they ran into them, there was no guarantee they could secure all of them.
Qin Hu cleared his throat. There was certainly so exaggeration in what he’d told Lin Feng earlier, but he had to make big promises to boost morale.
He knew perfectly well that if he were leading a squad of Tier Two Awakeners who had undergone genetic modification to beco Tier Two Genetic Warriors, then equipped with Battle Armor and Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Swords...
...they could march deep into the heart of the Hive as if it were uncontested territory, Unstoppable.
Even if they encountered new Tier Two Zerg Race with ranged attacks, Qin Hu was still confident he could slay them and bring them back to the Research Institute.
The problem, however, was that aside from Qin Hu himself and the three Tier One Genetic Warriors on his team, the remaining ten mbers were just ordinary Awakeners with Physical Enhancent.
They could only act as support for the Genetic Warriors.
They couldn’t hold their own against even a few Tier Two Zerg Race.
Therefore, to complete the sample collection mission successfully, Lin Feng’s participation was essential.
Especially judging by the strength of their auras, both of the n before him had reached Tier Two Awakening.
’Especially Lin Feng. His aura is far more profound now than when I last saw him chasing down Cheng Zhan. Even when I secretly activate the Fusion Zygote on my back, injecting Genetic Essence Liquid to boost my Physique Attribute Value above 600, I still feel like I’d have a hard ti contending with him.’
’Considering the recent news about him, Qin Hu estimated that Lin Feng had likely reached the Tier Two Late Stage. Combined with his Synthetic Superpower and gear, slaughtering the Tier Two Zerg Race would be as easy as killing chickens for him...’
’With him on board, our chances of success will skyrocket.’
As for the subordinate following Lin Feng, Qin Hu had a faint impression of him. Right now, though, he was completely covered in Battle Armor, with Zerg-like limbs exposed...
He didn’t look human at all.
But as soone who had also undergone Genetic Fusion, Qin Hu could sll a familiar scent on him and subconsciously assud he was also a Genetic Warrior.
A Tier Two Warrior, just like himself.
Qin Hu had known since their first eting that Lin Feng had connections at the Research Institute.
Seeing this assimilated and modified person now, he assud Lin Feng had used his connections at the Research Institute to sign him up for the modification protocol.
He never suspected it was the man’s own Superpower.
Although the man’s Awakening Level was slightly lower than his own, the strength of a Tier Two Awakener was undeniable—several tis greater than any of the dozen Awakeners under his command.
’Lin Feng and his subordinate are strong enough to handle a dozen Tier Two Zerg Race at once. If they’re willing to help...’
’...we might just be able to secure all of the new Tier Two Zerg Race.’
So when Lin Feng asked what it would cost to get a Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword, Qin Hu didn’t hesitate. He held up three fingers and blurted out:
"According to the Capital’s Research Institute headquarters, preliminary analysis has identified three new types of Tier Two Zerg Race: the Pulse War Scorpion, the Tank Fla Armor, and the most mysterious of all, a Humanoid Combat Zerg that’s only about three ters tall..."
"The Mother Empress developed these special Zergs to counter humanity’s fortified defensive lines by using the bodies of Awakeners. They possess high combat intelligence, can use various weapons, and can even inherit the Superpowers of their host Awakeners. They infiltrate our lines and go on killing sprees, making them true Awakener-killers. For now, they’ve been nad Samurai Hunter Zergs."
After this introduction, Qin Hu’s tone shifted:
"We only need to get our hands on the corpses of two of the new Tier Two Zerg types. The rest are all yours."
Lin Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. He’d already learned about the first two from the data Ding Chenghai had sent, but this last one, the Samurai Hunter Zerg... it sounded just like humanity’s Genetically Modified Warriors. Both were bizarre products of Genetic Fusion, created by absorbing the superior genetic traits of another species.
’Samurai Hunter Zergs are just like Genetic Warriors—extrely difficult to deal with.’
’And compared to other Zergs, their smaller size ans greater speed and agility, making them incredibly difficult to target with ranged weapons.’
’A swarm of Samurai Hunter Zergs infiltrating the defensive lines to slaughter Awakeners would be able to Upgrade and evolve much faster than other Tier Two Zerg Race.’
’Perhaps this is the High-tier Mother Empress’s counter-strategy.’
Thinking about Ling Yi in Shangjia City and what it was up to, Lin Feng’s frown deepened. ’I’ll need to be on guard the next ti we et.’
Having ntally filled in the missing parts of Ding Chenghai’s data—likely lost due to Electromagnetic interference—Lin Feng turned his attention back to Qin Hu’s offer.
’Two corpses of the new Zergs for one Chainsaw Sword.’
’This deal isn’t worth it. The fusion value of these new Zergs is much higher than a Tiger Spine Zerg Giant Mandible. It’s not even in the sa league as a mass-produced Chainsaw Sword.’
Lin Feng shook his head.
"One, at most."
Qin Hu glanced at Shen Jie, who stood behind Lin Feng.
"I can give you two swords."
Lin Feng shrugged. ’Shen Jie has no use for one of those. In his Assimilation State, the extended Arm Blades really ss with his manual dexterity. He can barely even hold a Shotgun.’
’Besides, when Shen Jie enters his Winged Tiger Frenzy state, the two Heavy Sabers he forms are comparable to a Tiger Spine Zerg Giant Mandible and aren’t much weaker than a Tiger Zerg Chainsaw Sword anyway.’
"One for one. You still co out ahead. When the ti cos, whoever makes the kill gets the prize. Of course, we could also just do our own thing. The Underground Zerg Nest is a big place; we can easily go our separate ways."
Seeing that Lin Feng was unmoved, and in fact seed eager to be rid of his ’burdenso’ squad, Qin Hu could only concede with a nod:
