End of the World: My Items Can Be Upgraded Infinitely.

Chapter 118: Shen Jie's one-on-one fight, upgrade! Charge call, electromagnetic blast

Along with the flames of the explosion, a heat wave spurted out from the mouth of the lv28 tiger-back worm, and the heat wave shock wave directly shattered the thick muscles connecting the upper and lower jaws.

The rupture of the ligaments also caused the heavy lower jaw to fall apart, and it could only be connected by the remaining flesh and blood.

The huge insect body fell directly onto the main road due to inertia, sparking sparks.

It slid for dozens of meters and smashed the stone pillars in the green belt in the middle into pieces before it stopped.

When something unexpected happened while chasing their leader, the tiger-backed insects behind him braked one after another, and dug their sharp feet into the road surface, destroying the asphalt layer and prying up deep pits.

On the warship two kilometers away, Lin Feng did not receive any notification of the successful kill.

Using the identification skill to continue checking, the seriously injured level 28 tiger spine worm only received 700 points of damage and still had 180 points of health remaining.

Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. Now was not the time to catch live insects. If he let the big fish escape, all his efforts would be wasted.

He pulled the trigger continuously, firing three shots in a row, aiming at the fallen lv28 tiger-spine worm.

The first armor-piercing cannon directly ended its life, and the subsequent two shells penetrated the shattered insect body and hit two second-stage mid-stage tiger-spine insects at the rear.

However, because I didn't use the Eye of Death to lock them, I only shattered a small part of their torso and limbs, so they were still able to move.

"Kill a lv28 tiger spine worm!"

After confirming that the biggest threat had been resolved, Lin Feng no longer hesitated. While the other tiger-backed insects had not yet reacted, he continued to activate the Eye of Death attribute and pre-aimed and locked onto the remaining targets.

However, these tiger-backed insects did not retreat and disperse because of the death of their leader. Instead, they continued to follow the orders of the Queen Mother, launching attacks and heading towards the land cruiser.

The Queen Mother also knew that as long as the two sides got close to each other, the long-range advantage of human thermal weapons would no longer exist, and the tiger-backed worm's huge jaws would have a place to play.

However, just these two kilometers, even if it only takes one minute, is enough for Lin Feng to complete the lock.

Twenty seconds later, Lin Feng decisively pulled the trigger.

Fifteen shells were fired in succession!

Hitting the eyes of the tiger spine worm under the carapace on its trunk, violent explosions were transmitted from the pupils of the eyeballs, shattering their brains and taking them away one by one.

There was a second-stage early-stage tiger-spine worm walking at the end. With the cover of the building, it was only attacked by stray bullets from the explosion and did not die.

Only half of the leg was broken, and a hundred points of health were reduced.

The tiger-backed insect limped to the side, took cover under the building, and took the opportunity to escape.

Lin Feng frowned slightly. Although he could lock onto the other party's existence through telepathy, the armor-piercing cannon could not continuously penetrate multiple layers of concrete walls due to the obstruction of the buildings.

Either command Chen Yanyan to drive the battleship to chase after them, or use the Flying Tiger Armor to chase in mid-air.

After the former leaves, the replica weapons in the hands of the nearby team members will become useless and die in the mouths of the insects. As for the latter, Lin Feng wants to save the flight mode of the Flying Tiger Armor for the critical moment. After all, each use will consume 1 point of reserve, which is equivalent to the giant jaws of ten black-backed insects or one tiger-backed insect.

It's not worth it just to kill a second-stage early tiger-spine worm.

Just as Lin Feng was secretly considering it, he soon discovered a familiar light spot in the telepathic scan.

Telepathy includes detection skills such as life radar, which can not only sweep out the Zerg, but also human awakeners.

I saw a fast-moving spot of light approaching the injured level 22 tiger spine worm from the side.

It still had about 200 health points left. Apart from the inconvenience in movement, its combat power was not damaged much, and it still had 70% of its strength left.

The one who went out to chase alone was Shen Jie, the strongest individual in the team except Lin Feng.

At this moment, he was driving an off-road vehicle, chasing and intercepting the tiger-backed worm that was trying to escape.

After bypassing an urban area, it appeared behind it.

Shen Jie leaned out of the car window and first used the level 19 shotgun in his hand to suppress the opponent, firing more than a dozen shots in a row. However, due to the shaking of the car and his limited shooting skills, he only hit three or four shots, and finally caused fifty or sixty damage.

When the off-road vehicle drove out of the effective range of the replica, Shen Jie threw it into the trunk, then drifted, turned around, and stopped suddenly, and jumped out of the car in an instant.

By the time he stood firmly, he had already activated his assimilation ability and transformed into a dark warrior.

Two-meter-long blades grew out of his left and right arms, his physical attributes increased rapidly, and ferocious black armor covered his entire body, emitting a dangerous aura.

His physical attributes finally reached 225, having broken through to the early stage of the second stage. The qualitative change in the values ​​was subtly transforming his body structure...

Becoming more and more like a bug.

The tiger-backed worm three or four hundred meters away from Shen Jie obviously also sensed the other party's existence and the strong hostility emanating from him!
Although Shen Jie only absorbed the flesh and blood genes of the first-order Zerg, his mental value has not yet declined to that of the second-order tiger-spine worm, and the control of his body is still under the command of the brain, so he is not afraid of the second-order tiger worm.

But for the tiger spine worm, a lowly first-level black spine worm actually dared to provoke it...

This is unforgivable behavior!
The class divisions within the Zerg are extremely strict.

This is due to factors of genetic and rank suppression, but it is also a practical need to ensure the stability of the mother nest's order!
Any act of rebellion will be subject to the most severe punishment!

That is to kill them and then remake them!
So even though the tiger-backed worm was injured, it had already confirmed that Lin Feng was far away and would no longer launch an attack. The original order in its mind to retreat back to the mother nest, but after seeing Shen Jie who had transformed into the black warrior, the genetic command to deal with the defective products took priority over the task temporarily issued by the queen mother.

The tiger-backed worm stopped running and stared at the smaller "black-backed worm" in front of it.

And this is exactly what Shen Jie wants.

Seeing the tiger-backed worm limping towards him, Shen Jie no longer hesitated and rushed towards the target.

When the man and the bug are about to meet...

In front of the twelve-meter-long tiger-back worm, Shen Jie's figure was as weak as a chicken, but the energy he contained was far more than that.

Although body size brings advantages in strength, it also sacrifices flexibility of movement.

When Shen Jie's arm blade collided with the tiger spine worm's giant jaw, the friction at high speed produced a lot of sparks. However, Shen Jie, who was about to be knocked away, suddenly raised his head and fell down at the critical moment...

The man bent his legs and hid under the huge jaws of the tiger-backed worm, but the tiger-backed worm, unable to brake in time, continued to rush forward.

Shen Jie, who was performing a sliding tackle, naturally would not miss such a great opportunity!

During the collision, Shen Jie deliberately used the bone blade to diagonally cut across the long giant jaws, using intense friction to increase the sharpness of the blade. When the insect body in front of him turned into the fragile abdomen of the tiger spine worm...

Stab it right in!

As the bone blade cut through the tiger-backed worm's abdomen, it created two horrific wounds that were several meters long and more than one meter deep. Not only did it break through the ten-centimeter-thick armor, it also cut off many organs in the abdomen!

The blood of the worm spurted out like a fountain. The tiger-back worm that had stopped suddenly rolled on the ground for several rounds due to the sudden serious injury. Finally, it forced itself to turn around.

However, what greeted it was a sudden cold blade!
He stabbed directly into its fist-sized eyeball, then poked into its interior through the eye socket, moving it up and down, trying his best to chew up its poor brain.

Before the tiger spiny worm could react, its nerves were cut off and it lost control of its body.

With the serious injury to the abdomen, the health value continued to be lost. By the time Shen Jie pulled out the bone blade on his right arm, the tiger-backed worm under him had completely died.

Only the pair of huge jaws remained, still twitching unconsciously.

The black warrior, who was panting and had completed the killing alone, sat on the corpse of the tiger-back worm. Suddenly, he felt a tremendous amount of energy flowing into his body from the corpse under his butt.

Not only did he eliminate the fatigue from the intense exercise in his body, but even the broken arm blade on his left hand side grew back.

But that's not all. The energy is still lurking in his torso. It will not be fully released until Shen Jie leaves the battlefield and his condition becomes stable, helping him to enter the second stage of awakening. After a short rest, Shen Jie stood up and prepared to cut off the giant jaw and drag it back with an off-road vehicle.

As a result, when he turned around, the mighty Land Cruiser had already sailed to the rear, leading the reassembled vehicles to clean up the battlefield.

Seeing that the danger had been lifted, Shen Jie immediately shed his assimilated form.

If this state is maintained for too long, it will easily cause the mental state to continue to decline, and eventually deteriorate to the point where it affects sanity.

After long-term and persistent training, he can now maintain the dark warrior state for a maximum of half an hour. If it lasts longer, he will fall into madness.

In order to win this battle, Shen Jie had actually been planning for many days and even came up with dozens of response plans, so he was able to accomplish it so easily.

When the majestic Land Cruiser collected the bodies of the remaining fifteen tiger-backed worms and drove to Shen Jie, Lin Feng jumped off the warship and walked to his side.

Patting Shen Jie on the shoulder, he looked at the corpse of the lv22 tiger spine worm in front of him and said:

"Congratulations. You are about to enter the second level of awakening!"

"This is just your trophy. I'll give it to you. After you eat this pair of giant jaws, maybe you can grow the armor I'm wearing..."

"The assimilation ability of the tiger form can take your strength to a higher level!"

After hearing Lin Feng's introduction, Shen Jie's eyes lit up with joy.

Everyone has already witnessed the performance of the armor on the opponent, and Shen Jie is also looking forward to the day when he can obtain the tiger form.

Possessing armor comparable to the shell of a tiger spine worm, in the future, he will participate in the battle against the second-order Zerg...

It is equivalent to having one more life!

For Shen Jie, who is used to close combat and whose supernatural powers are only suitable for close combat, this is more important than the weapons and equipment in his hands!
Shen Jie was also quite moved by Lin Feng's generosity.

After all, he was able to win the duel successfully in the end only because Lin Feng killed the rest of the tiger-backed worms and broke one of the legs of this tiger-backed worm, making it unable to move.

Without these factors, Shen Jie would not have the chance to encounter a lone tiger-spine worm, and could only find a way to deal with an assault team consisting of at least three tiger-spine worms.

However, in Lin Feng's opinion, the other party deserves such an honor because he has the courage to challenge the second-level tiger-spine worm and finally succeed in the challenge.

If the Flying Tiger Armor was not as good as swallowing the entire insect corpse, Lin Feng would have planned to make him one.

Finally, his subordinates found a small truck, removed the internal wiring, started the ignition, and then transported the body away.

The time came to eleven o'clock in the morning. Seeing that the team members were already a little tired after two battles, Lin Feng ordered them to evacuate.

On the way back, in order to squeeze out storage space, Lin Feng integrated the extra first-level black-spine insect jaws into the red armor of the team members, upgrading them to level 10 red black armor...

On the other hand, of the fifteen pairs of tiger-backed worm jaws, except for the five pairs reserved for the battleship fusion upgrade, Lin Feng integrated the remaining ten pairs into his Flying Tiger Armor.

Including the three killed by the parasitic mother last time, a total of thirteen upgrade points are now stored.

「Flying Tiger Armor lv20/29, orange quality」

「耐久度：10/10，防御力200，储存升级点13/2」

Thinking that he might have to fight deep into the mother nest in the future, Lin Feng started upgrading the Flying Tiger Armor.

The items upgraded very quickly. After the battlefield was cleaned up and the remaining low-level Zerg in the city disappeared, by the time Lin Feng ordered the withdrawal from the city and returned to the suburban highway, the Flying Tiger Armor had already upgraded three levels:
「Flying Tiger Armor lv23/29, orange quality」

"Durability: 10/10, Defense 350, Storage Upgrade Points 4/5, Basic Form: Arm Guard, Full Body Armor, Tiger Bug Power (Unconditional)"

"Variant: Absolute Defense (1 time/1 Jaw)
Explosive Scale Armor (90% damage counterattack, 10% defense reduction, one point of durability consumed each time)
Flight mode (consume 1 point of reserve to upgrade, perform minutes of flapping flight, maximum speed kilometers per hour, cooling time minutes)

"Note: Only one variant can be activated at a time."

After three consecutive ascents, there was no special change, except that the duration of the flight mode doubled.

Lin Feng thought about it and simply integrated the remaining tiger-backed worm jaws in the battleship's storage space into the lv23 Flying Tiger Armor.

With another upgrade, the Flying Tiger Armor, which has entered level 24, finally obtains a new form:
「Flying Tiger Armor lv24/29, orange quality」

"Durability: 10/10, Defense 400, Storage Upgrade Points 4/6, Basic Form: Arm Guard, Full Body Armor, Tiger Bug Power (Unconditional)"

"Variant: Absolute Defense, Explosive Scale Armor, Flight Mode"

"New basic form: Charge Call (After activation, it emits a whistling sound, which can summon low-level life within 2 kilometers to follow and attack the target together)"

"Note: Low-level lifeforms that respond to the charge will have their physical attributes increased by 10% and their mental attributes reduced by 10% for a short period of time."

When Lin Feng saw the last item, his eyes lit up.

Because the functional description of the Charge Call form is similar to the Queen Mother's mental control, and its appearance obviously came from the lv28 second-stage late tiger-spine worm.

It is also expected that after the second-level tiger-spine worm is upgraded again, it will become a third-level Zerg and possess abilities similar to those of a third-level queen.

Although it is of little use to oneself, this ability is equivalent to directly applying a layer of morale aura when launching a collective breakout or attack, which can stimulate the combat potential of the group.

After upgrading the Flying Tiger Armor he was wearing, Lin Feng immediately turned his attention to the upgraded lv23 armor-piercing cannon:
"Armor-piercing cannon lv23/29, orange quality"

「升级点11/5，伤害400，有效射程10千米，剩余子弹9000/9000」

"Additional attributes: bullet recovery 1/s, space magazine 9000 spare bullets, Death Eye 0/50, fire coverage damage 50+50/s, coverage area 10 square meters, bullet time s, cooldown seconds"

Apart from the increase in damage and spare bullets, and the shortened cooldown of the bullet time attribute, there are not many major changes.

Looking at the soldiers sitting in the cars around him, resting and eating, Lin Feng immediately started another round of upgrades.

After killing fifteen tiger-backed insects this time, it was just enough for the level 22 armor-piercing cannon to be upgraded three times in a row. This is why Lin Feng let go of the last one and left it to Shen Jie.

Whether there are more or less guns, it will not affect the upgrade of the armor-piercing gun.

After upgrading twice in a row, when the lunch break was over, Lin Feng held up the upgraded equipment and smiled:
"Armor-piercing magnetic cannon lv25/29, orange quality"

「升级点0/7，伤害500，有效射程10千米，剩余子弹1w/1w」

"Additional attributes: bullet recovery 1/s, space magazine with 0 spare bullets, Death Eye 50/50, fire coverage damage 50+10/s, coverage area square meters, bullet time s, cooldown seconds"

"Added additional attribute: Electromagnetic blast (switch to magnetic bomb, the range is shortened tenfold, can generate plasma bubbles, kill targets within a ten-meter range, and will continue to paralyze all life within a hundred-meter radius)"

"Note: The closer the distance, the greater the damage of the magnetic storm bomb and the stronger the paralysis effect."

After understanding the new attributes, Lin Feng looked up at the quiet suburbs in the distance.

The thoughts that had been hidden in my heart surfaced.

With the electromagnetic blasting attribute in hand and combined with the Flying Tiger Armor, the melee strength is greatly enhanced!

He can definitely go deep into the city and capture the tiger-backed worm!
