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

Chapter 122 The Uniqueness of the Fourth Order, the Future and the Present

Hear the last question from the man in front of you.

The Queen Mother's clone was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a moment before replying:
"Ah."

"Every life in the universe is not only extremely powerful, but also unique."

"For example, we will only give birth to one fourth-stage queen, who will lead all the third-stage queens. The losers will be trapped in the third stage forever because they cannot collect enough genes for advancement."

"There are no exceptions to this..."

"Until... that fourth-order mortal dies, or reaches a higher level, and a vacancy appears in the ecological niche of the tribe, it will be a chance for others of the same kind."

Lin Feng took a deep breath. According to this meaning, there could only be one fourth-level being among humans, and he would be the well-deserved king of humans.

The strongest person on Blue Star.

The Queen Mother in front of him seemed to see what the man was thinking and replied with a smile:

"Don't think too far..."

"The fourth stage is too far away for you humans. Even if you have entered the late stage of the third stage, it is still impossible."

Lin Feng frowned slightly:

"Is it because there are no other people of the same level and kind, and we cannot collect the energy and genes needed for advancement?"

The Queen Mother nodded, then shook her head:
"More than a thousand third-level peers, and more than 50% of the genetic sequences, and this is just the basic condition for promotion."

"For a race that has never produced fourth-order cosmic life, it will take a lot of research to improve your genetic potential."

"Conduct a large number of experiments until we evolve a steel body that can handle higher energy density..."

"And the latter is often the key to the fourth level."

"Unfortunately, this is not something that a single individual can do. Besides, you humans don't have the time to do it."

"But please rest assured. When I successfully enter the fourth level, I will allow you to bring a group of humans with me to become my followers and conquer the starry sky with me. At the same time, I will leave you a place to live on this blue planet."

Lin Feng shrugged.

He didn't take the Queen Mother's last words seriously.

This may not be possible for humans, but for me who have an upgrade system, this may not be the case.

At that time, you just need to complete the upgrade conditions listed in front of you one by one.

After solving the last question, Lin Feng immediately planned to leave this place:

"Thank you. Two hundred tiger spine insects, be ready in the suburbs before noon tomorrow. After I kill them all, I will return to the Wucheng defense line to help you resist the advance of that Stage 3 mid-stage queen mother..."

The Queen Mother's clone shook her head:

"Give me fifty first, and then three days later, give me another fifty. I only need you to hold out for ten days."

“Payment in installments is better for everyone.”

Lin Feng glanced at the level 25 armor-piercing magnetic cannon in his hand, nodded, put down the gun, and suddenly asked before leaving:

"You can come across the star field. There should be other fourth-level beings in your tribe, right?"

The Queen Mother did not answer, but a stiff smile appeared on her face, which was uglier than crying.

Lin Feng clicked his tongue, shrugged, then turned sideways and shot with his gun before the Queen Mother could react.

Just hear a bang!
The Queen Mother's clone in front of him exploded from the middle.

Lin Feng walked to the remaining half of the head, looked down at the clone that was vomiting blood, and said lightly:
“This is considered the interest on the installment payment.”

"Remember, never threaten me."

The deformed parasitic mother controlled by the Queen Mother nodded after a brief struggle and died completely.

Lin Feng immediately saw a reminder to kill:

"Successfully killed a mutant parasite mother, gained upgrade point +1, additional spiritual energy, which can be used for the next synchronous upgrade and converted into spiritual attribute +50"

Wow, it’s indeed different after being directly injected with spirit and completely controlled by the Queen Mother.

Twenty more spiritual attributes than the last time the mother body of the parasite Cheng Zhan was killed.

Maybe when Lin Feng killed it, he also hurt the Queen Mother's spiritual energy, so he gained additional benefits.

In fact, as early as when the parasitic matrix appeared, Lin Feng's idea changed from destroying this strange gathering place to killing the parasitic matrix in front of him.

Killing a parasitic mother can gain additional mental energy, allowing the mental value to break the limit again.

This is much more attractive than destroying the gathering place.

Moreover, the two parties are currently in a cooperative relationship. Lin Feng can kill one of the other side's second-level Zerg, but he cannot destroy the Queen Mother's research project.

Because these are two different things.

The second-level Zerg can continue to hatch, but the human gathering place in front of us is not so easy to rebuild.

As Lin Feng achieved his goal and confirmed that the deformed body in front of him had no valuable materials to collect, he stood up and left.

Lin Feng was not worried that Queen Mother Jiacheng would go back on her word, because as long as the human gathering place was still there, he could use it to threaten the other party to fulfill the agreement.

What's more, before the next ten days, the initiative will always be in his hands. The Queen Mother of Haicheng is not so easy to deal with.

Quickly back outside the city...

A few minutes later, Lin Feng saw the Land Cruiser warship speeding in from a distance. He stood on the roof of a seven-story building, waiting for Chen Yanyan to drive the warship closer, then he jumped up directly, flapped his Flying Tiger Membrane Wings from a height of 30 meters, and landed lightly on the warship.

Back in the cockpit, Chen Yanyan controlled the battleship to return while walking to Lin Feng. After he took off the armor covering his entire body, she asked:
"How is it going? Is everything going well? Have you found any traces of the second-level tiger spine worm?"

Lin Feng shook his head:
"We didn't find any tiger spine worms, but we did come across a gathering place of survivors in the center of Jiacheng City."

Chen Yanyan took the clothes that Lin Feng took off and confirmed with some surprise:
"Are they humans from Jiacheng?! Are there still living people in Jiacheng?"

Lin Feng nodded:
"Of course. But don't think about it. They have been kept in captivity by the Zerg. To be more precise, the Queen Mother of Jiacheng is raising humans for experiments..."

"Just like humans analyzing the Zerg, they are also studying our physiological characteristics, especially the sophisticated human brain, which can be regarded as the crystallization of the evolution of life on the Blue Planet."

"Perhaps in the future there will be a bunch of human-like Zerg mixed in with humans, making it even more difficult to identify them."

Chen Yanyan was shocked:
"So what should we do? We have to rescue them all, right?"

Lin Feng shook his head:
"There are a large number of Zerg guards lurking outside Jiacheng. You saw what happened this morning."

"There is only one way, kill them all."

Chen Yanyan sighed, feeling somewhat regretful:

"Did you do it clean?"

Lin Feng shrugged:

"I was originally going to take action, but I encountered a second-level psychotic Zerg, one of the parasitic mothers."

"Hey, and guess what..."

Chen Yanyan raised her eyebrows:
"You succeeded in killing it, and in order to avoid the siege of the mother queen, you directly escaped from Jiacheng?"

Lin Feng laughed:
"Don't dream. From the moment we entered Jiacheng, we have actually been under the surveillance of the Queen Mother."

"The appearance of the parasitic mother is not accidental, but the Queen Mother of Jiacheng wants to find me for some cooperation."

At this moment, Chen Yanyan was even more puzzled:
"Cooperation? With the Queen Mother?!"

Lin Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded lightly:
"Yes, it's a deal."

"In fact, the mother queens are not in cahoots with each other..."

…………

After Lin Feng finished explaining the whole story, Chen Yanyan let out a long "oh" as if she had suddenly understood something, and then said excitedly:
"With those two hundred, can't we still get a batch of second-level awakeners in just ten days?!"

Lin Feng nodded. Two hundred second-level tiger spine insects were enough to upgrade the two pieces of equipment in his hands to the maximum level, and the remaining dozens would allow Chen Yanyan and others to get the opportunity to be promoted to the second level.

At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening, and the Land Cruiser was driving all the way back to the Taihu Service Area fifteen kilometers away.

It is close to Lake Taihu, and behind it is a vast water area of ​​2,500 square kilometers, with the richest biological resources in the Jiangnan provinces.

Among the Zerg queens that invade various places, whoever can first enter Taihu Lake and absorb and harvest the biomass inside will be able to seize the initiative in this global chicken-eating competition.

For a moment, Lin Feng, standing on the bow of the ship, even had the urge to poison and exterminate all the aquatic life in the lake under the glow of the setting sun.

Unfortunately, large rivers flow from west to east and continuously rush into this endless lake. It is not realistic to deplete its resources in a short period of time.

Moreover, the consequence of doing so will definitely make the queen mothers more united and focus on dealing with humans.

Instead, it will deprive the survivors of their chance to breathe and accelerate the speed of human extinction.

After much thought, Lin Feng gave up the idea and followed the Land Cruiser back to the temporary camp in the service area.

At this moment, the team members had finished resting and were preparing dinner. When Zhang Liying saw Lin Feng returning, she quickly walked to the warship.

Lin Feng jumped off the battleship and got two results from her, one good and one bad.

The good news is that Shen Jie's second-level awakening has been successfully completed and he is fine.

The bad news is that during Shen Jie's second-level awakening, he activated his ability to devour and assimilate, and a piece of black armor grew on his body. At the same time, two sharp black blades pierced out from his forearms to his elbows.

Although not as good as his fully transformed insect-man state, it was also extremely ferocious.

The most serious problem is...

When he woke up from his awakening coma, he found that the black armor on his body and the black blade extending from his elbow had been fixed...

It cannot be retracted into the body. Even if it is pried open and the skin and flesh are cut off, it will grow back into a black shiny scale the size of a fingernail.

Moreover, Shen Jie did not use the assimilation ability, which means that this thing has become his normal form and he cannot restore his body by removing the ability.

When Lin Feng was led by Zhang Liying into the hotel on the second floor of the shopping mall rest area, in a large bed room, he saw Shen Jie looking at himself in the mirror with a worried look on his face...

At this moment, half of his face, starting from his jaw, was covered in black armor, extending all the way to his shirt under his neck. It was probably the same all over his body.

Ten years ago, the middle school student Lin Feng might have thought it was very handsome, but now it is the end of the world, and the hatred and resentment of the survivors towards the Zerg have already reached their peak...

Even the gene warrior plan of the top management and the research institute was carried out secretly under pressure when the front line was in a complete defeat.

Moreover, after it was successfully completed, there was no publicity like before. At least from Qin Hu, Lin Feng did not see the importance of the Thirteenth Division.

If Shen Jie walked out now and was seen by other team members, even if they caught up with him after explaining, they would not say anything, but they would definitely have some resentment in their hearts...

Not everyone can bear to live and fight with a half-human, half-insect monster.

The daily battles are stressful enough, and the nerves are always tense. The slightest disturbance can easily lead to a stress response.

But there are many solutions.

Lin Feng knew that it was best not to use force to suppress the situation, but to find a suitable opportunity to let Shen Jie show his amazing strength.

For example, the team members are surrounded by a swarm of insects, and then Shen Jie makes a brilliant appearance, kills all enemies and leads the team to escape. In this way, the factors of admiration and envy will overcome the inner resentment and discomfort.

Of course, these are external factors and it is difficult for them to affect the truly strong.

Therefore, the root of the problem lies with Shen Jie himself.

Lin Feng coughed lightly, interrupting Shen Jie's "concentrated" rubbing of his skin scales.

Seeing Lin Feng coming, his eyes flashed with panic.

"It's not a big deal, don't take it to heart."

"Just remember that you are always a human being, not a bug, that's all."

Lin Feng walked forward and patted Shen Jie on the shoulder.

He then activated the full body form of the Flying Tiger Armor, looking more ferocious and solemn than Shen Jie, and more like a beetle man.

"Remember, people who truly care about you won't care about your appearance. Even if you completely turn into a bug, as long as you are still Shen Jie, you will always be you."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Shen Jie looked to the side, saw Zhang Liying staring at him closely, and nodded seriously.

"You haven't eaten tiger worms yet, go and have some."

"You can try to use the assimilated form and the black-spine worm's huge jaws to bite it. Don't wait too long, or the corpse will become stale if left for too long."

"Come back tonight to try your new state, and Zhang Liying's winged angel."

After saying that, Lin Feng turned and left.

He still has a lot of things to deal with, so Shen Jie just needs to give him some guidance. The person who can truly resolve his knot is not himself, but Zhang Liying.

After giving the two some space, Lin Feng returned to the battleship and called Hu Fei and Han Yuxin.

At present, Hu Fei has flown to the safe area in the rear. Through the channel of connecting with the federal high-level officials, Lin Feng gave him the contact information of Sister Yu Rou, and also arranged some live black-backed insects to be given to Sister Yu Rou.

On the one hand, it was out of emotional factors, and the current black-spine insects were not precious. On the other hand, he was attracted by Zhang Yurou's father's position and power, which could solve the top problems that troubled Lin Feng in the future...

The large amount of fine steel required for the replica.

Let’s build good relationships first, then we can talk later.

Otherwise, if you wait for others to get there first, you will have to spend more money in the future to get the same results.

After contacting Hu Fei, Lin Feng called Han Yuxin.

I learned from her that Jincheng is now in a state of complete disorder.

And as the last batch of state guard troops withdraw to Huizhou in the west, this situation will continue until the Zerg arrives.

Fortunately, Han Yuxin gathered together a group of former security forces, occupied the security building, and temporarily took in the survivors who were unable to escape.

Other places in Jincheng have been occupied by a large number of gangs and various temporary forces.

Disorder and chaos shrouded the Golden City.

Lin Feng asked them to send people to take away a group of black-backed live insects and form a team of awakened people specifically to maintain public order in preparation for the future.

Because Lin Feng couldn't just recruit soldiers and abandon other survivors. Such a group would not be stable unless he could create a bunch of flesh and blood puppets like the Zerg.

After solving the problems of survival, food and drink, more needs and worries will arise, the first of which is physiological.

Lin Feng doesn't mind soldiers looking for women.

As long as one is human, there will be desires.

What's more, soldiers will also suffer casualties. They are not cheap products that are produced endlessly on the production line. All forces must consider the issue of successors.

Lin Feng is no exception.

Especially after learning what the fourth stage above the third stage is...

Lin Feng has already been preparing for future space adventures.

The first question is whether humans can survive after he leaves?

Therefore, the more high-level awakeners there are, the better.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng continued to say to Han Yuxin:
"Find more young women. They are the vulnerable group in the end times. I think they would be happy to have a caring man..."

"One last thing..."

"Do you still remember Liu Yueqi?"

"The high school girl with the knife."

Wish you all a happy new year in advance.
