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

Chapter 136 Bloodthirsty Blade, Qin Hu's Determination
Looking at the humanoid corpse thrown over, Qin Hu and others turned their heads, and the searchlights above their heads illuminated the objects in front of them.

Seeing such a hideous-looking humanoid insect, with a three-meter-tall body, especially a spherical tumor in the shape of a human face growing on its chest and abdomen...

Many team members were so nervous that they were shaking with fear, their hands and feet were numb, and their tightly grasped tiger-tooth chainsaw swords gradually became unsteady.

“Ah…Ah…”

"help me……"

Before everyone could calm down, they saw the face on the tumor, as if stimulated by the light, opening its mouth and struggling, making a hoarse cry for help.

The familiar federal language reached everyone's ears.

Qin Hu instantly realized that the shouting voice he had heard from the depths of darkness was most likely made by this strange monster.

It was a trap.

I almost suffered the same misfortune as the team member who was seriously injured and unconscious behind me.

Who could have known that the hideous and terrifying alien Zerg would evolve into a human body structure and use the federal language to lure the awakened ones to let down their guard.

Seeing the still squirming human face, several team members who were less able to withstand the pressure started vomiting.

He vomited out most of the liquid nutrition he had just swallowed.

Qin Hu took a deep breath and said to Lin Feng:

"Is this the most secretive third new second-order Zerg, the Warrior Hunter?"

Lin Feng nodded, and his left hand grabbed the complete body of a pulse war scorpion.

When a pulse scorpion dies, its six legs will curl up and fold against its abdomen, like most arthropods, forming a flower-shaped basket.

Just turn the corpse upside down with the abdomen facing upwards, and the remaining six plasma tail cannons can be placed inside.

It just solves the problem of inconvenience in carrying.

Lin Feng, who has entered the late stage of the second stage and has a physical attribute of up to 980 points, can bring nearly tons of terrifying explosive power. Even in normal conditions, he can exert more than tons of power.

Dragging ten tons of Zerg corpses was extremely easy.

In his free right hand, he held a brand new tiger-tooth chainsaw sword, which was somewhat different from the chainsaw swords in the hands of Qin Hu and others.

Its teeth have become wider and sharper, and there is no oil hose plugged in to provide cutting power.

The Tigertooth Chainsword has been upgraded.

Entering lv24.

Lin Feng walked past the crowd and put down the body of the Pulse War Scorpion and the Warrior Hunting Bug.

Then he checked Shen Jie's injuries and confirmed that he was not in danger of death. At the same time, he noticed that Shen Jie was upgrading, so he patted his shoulder, turned around and said:
"After I killed the Pulse Scorpion, I was attacked by the Warrior Hunting Bug. Two of them attacked at the same time..."

"But they were all resolved. On the way here, there were three more warrior insect hunters. I killed two and one escaped."

Lin Feng glanced at the Tiger Tooth Chainsaw Sword in his hand, which had accumulated 6 upgrade points, and the upgraded attribute data appeared:
「Tiger Tooth Chainsaw Sword lv24/29, orange quality」

「升级点6/10，耐久度：10/10，伤害400」

"Additional attribute: Extreme cutting speed (saw teeth rotate five times per second, causing five times the basic damage, current endurance time is two hours)"

"New additional attribute: Bloodthirster (Every time you kill a second-level Zerg, in addition to obtaining upgrade points, you can also restore a point of durability and increase the endurance by one hour)"

"Note: The basic damage will decrease as the durability of the chainsaw sword decreases."

After upgrading and gaining the Bloodthirsty Blade attribute, Lin Feng threw the bulky backpack aside.

It's not that the backpack is too heavy, but it affects the sword swinging, especially when facing the swift and tricky sneak attacks of the warrior hunter insect. I can't hold the handle of the sword in reverse to protect my back, and I need to turn around and deal with it head-on...

Bullet time and absolute defense both have a certain cooldown period, during which the backpack becomes very cumbersome and may even hinder the Flying Tiger Armor and activate flight mode.

So on the way here, after upgrading, Lin Feng simply discarded his backpack and relied on killing insects to provide the endurance of the chainsaw sword.

Unexpectedly, he really encountered the ignorant warrior hunting insects, and three of them attacked at the same time. Lin Feng fought back with a chainsaw sword in hand, but he didn't have time to use the electromagnetic cannon on his back, and finally let one go with regret.

After Lin Feng finished describing his experience, the survivors present all swallowed their saliva.

It turned out that the one who was in real danger was Lin Feng.

These weaklings don't even have the ability to detect the enemy. In other words, their strength is not enough for the Samurai Insect Hunter to take action.

Only Qin Hu and three other genetic warriors, as well as Shen Jie who possesses the ability to devour and assimilate, are worth hunting and capturing.

Qin Hu took a deep breath and stared at the body of the warrior insect hunter in front of him. Seeing the struggling and twisted face gradually losing its life, he opened his mouth and asked:

"They have the genes of the Awakened integrated into their bodies?"

Lin Feng shrugged:

"Probably, but it might be faster to just sew the Awakened's upper body in. Create a deformed monster with both the strong physique of the Zerg and the intelligence of humans."

As he spoke, Lin Feng's expression gradually became serious:

"These warrior insect hunters can also use the superpowers of human awakeners, just like the genetic warriors."

"When I was cutting up the body of the Pulse Scorpion, I encountered a warrior hunter insect that could hide its breath. Guess who is on the human-faced tumor on its abdomen?"

Qin Hu's pupils shrank sharply. When he learned that Cheng Zhan had luckily escaped from the Zerg hinterland and advanced to the second level of awakening, he specifically investigated the other party's identity verification information.

Cheng Zhan explained how he was able to escape by saying that his superpower was not only to enhance his physical fitness, but also to have the additional effect of hiding his own aura.

He has also experimented with it himself and found that it is almost invisible in a dim environment.

If that's the case, everything makes sense.

Therefore, the top leaders of the 13th Division relaxed their vigilance.

"It's that guy Cheng Zhan!"

Qin Hu replied in an affirmative tone.

Seeing Lin Feng nod, he clenched his fists even tighter:

"When I was alone, collecting and burying the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle, I heard the voices of my former comrades from the warrior hunter insects. Now that I think about it, it must have been a lure trap they set..."

Having said this, Qin Hu's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly took out the fuel tank from the backpack left aside.

Then we came to the place where the pit had just been dug not far away.

Unfortunately, the bodies of the team members he put into the grave had disappeared...

The long footprints that appeared beside the grave pit suggested that the body of the awakened person was dug out and taken away by the warrior insect hunter.

Qin Hu, who realized it later, was ultimately a step too late.

It seems that the real purpose of the warrior insect hunters is not only to lure the awakened ones to let down their guard, but also to take away the awakened ones' bodies so that the queen mother can give birth to new hybrids.

Qin Hu, feeling somewhat lost, returned to the crowd.

At this moment, everyone has gathered together to guard against the warrior hunters hiding in the dark.

Shen Jie, who was beside Lin Feng, had already put away his Winged Tiger Berserker form and was healing the serious injuries he had suffered previously through the energy released during the upgrade.

The wound on the abdomen has scabbed over and healed.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Shen Jie woke up and said in a hoarse voice:

"I encountered a simultaneous attack from two warrior hunter bugs, but they didn't have the ability to conceal their presence. Instead, their agility was comparable to that of a mid-to-late stage 2. I could only barely cope with their swift swings of their swords..."

"Fortunately, this armor saved me."

"Finally, I succeeded in killing them, and I was promoted to the middle stage of the second stage."

Lin Feng nodded and identified Shen Jie's current data:

"Shen Jie, lv24/29"

"HP 450, Vt 450, SPR 350"

"Super Power Awakening: Devouring and Assimilation - Wing Tiger Mad Battle"

"Note: Excessive use of assimilation will increase the degree of distortion, physical attribute +50, mental attribute -50"

It seems that the attack of the warrior hunter insect has made Shen Jie's condition worse again. Even though he has exited the assimilated form at this moment, the joints of his five fingers still maintain sharp spikes like those of insects.

If the situation gets more serious, even human firearms won’t be able to be used in the future.

After Shen Jie finished his report, he suddenly realized that the shotgun replica that was originally carried on his back had disappeared.

Thinking back to the dangerous battle just now, it seemed that it was the shotgun that helped him block the sharp blade coming from behind when the warrior hunter was attacking from both sides.

Then it was cut in half and dropped to the ground.

Shen Jie mentioned this to Lin Feng and apologized quickly.

Lin Feng shrugged:

"It's okay, it's just a few pounds of steel. There's still a lot of it inside the Land Cruiser. You should be more careful. If you keep going like this, it will be difficult for you to even pull the trigger."

Shen Jie clenched his claws and nodded silently. Qin Hu returned to the camp feeling a little disappointed. Looking at the people with low morale, he said:

"We have obtained two new types of Zerg corpses. Our mission is complete and it's time to leave!"

A glimmer of light flashed in the confused eyes of the team members, and they couldn't wait to get up.

Qin Hu walked up to Lin Feng and looked at the insect corpses on the ground:
"Can you give me two more?"

Lin Feng pointed behind the tiger spine worm corpse:

"There are two more behind, the warrior hunting insects killed by Shen Jie. They are all yours so you can take them away."

"I think the members of the Institute of Biology at the Academy are more interested in the deformed products of these human-insect hybrids."

"As for the pulse scorpions, there are seven in total. The intact one I dragged here is for you. As for the six plasma tail cannons I cut off, keep them all."

Qin Hu nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Just as Lin Feng said, there are only eight of them left now. One of them is injured, one has a broken leg and is seriously injured. He can't even move on his own and needs someone to support him.

In this way, only five people can carry the insect corpses.

Someone must be responsible for protection and vigilance to guard against another sneak attack by the Samurai Hunting Bug, so at most you can bring one Pulse War Scorpion corpse. As for the Samurai Hunting Bug, two will be enough.

Thinking of this, Qin Hu quickly made arrangements.

They took out bundles of three-centimeter-thick braided ropes from the team members' backpacks, tied the insect corpses tightly and packed them up for easy dragging and transportation.

While waiting, he lit a cigarette and chatted with Lin Feng while keeping alert:

"The capital only has a rough description of the warrior hunting insects. I didn't expect them to be so strange and difficult to deal with."

"You are absolutely right. They are like the genetic warriors of the Zerg. Unlike the large Zerg that have fused insect genes, such as the Pulse Scorpion and the Tank Flame Beetle, the warrior hunter insects are developed and cultivated specifically to target the powerful awakened humans and genetic warriors like us..."

"We need to bring this information and samples back so that the research institute can find a solution as soon as possible and alert other fronts and the capital to guard against sneak attacks by humanoid Zerg."

Lin Feng nodded and continued:
"The key is to protect those Awakened Ones with powerful or special abilities, to prevent them from being captured by the Zerg or their bodies from being obtained by the Zerg."

"I remember when the first line of defense was breached, there seemed to be a Super Bullet Awakener who was surrounded by insects."

"Insects are physically stronger than humans, which is equivalent to having physical enhancement abilities. They are powerful in close combat. If they are equipped with long-range attack methods..."

Qin Hu's face became increasingly gloomy:

"I'll remind them before I leave."

Lin Feng was a little surprised:

"Leaving soon?"

Qin Hu hummed:
"The high-end combat power in the capital is in short supply. If we are lucky enough to escape this time, we will be the only special forces team that has penetrated deep into the insect nest and returned safely."

"I will be transferred to the federal capital immediately."

Lin Feng was a little puzzled. When the Wucheng battle was over, the federal leaders would abandon the entire south, and the 13th Division currently stationed there would also go their separate ways. By then, with Qin Hu's strength, he would be able to form a team on his own, so why bother going to the capital to take risks?

There, they have to face the joint siege and attack of more than eight queen mothers at the same time. In addition, due to the special geographical location of the capital, it is easy to be surrounded on all sides.

Once it is revealed, there will be no escape.

This is a life-or-death situation.

As a native southerner, Lin Feng certainly hopes that Qin Hu can stay. Even if he does not join his team in the future, the two can still cooperate with each other.

But when Lin Feng put forward his idea, Qin Hu laughed and shook his head:

"In fact, the senior leaders of the 13th Division, including my former superior, the division commander, have advised me and even guaranteed the well-being of my wife and daughter in the safe zone..."

As he spoke, Qin Hu looked at the busy team members in front of him, his eyes gradually became firm:

"But if we stay, we can only save a few hundred or a few thousand people. Besides, most of the survivors in the rear have already rushed out of the safe zone. The two states behind have a thousand miles of land, which is enough for the Zerg to expand for several months..."

"If I stay, I will only be a genetic warrior with a little fame but no say. But if I go to the federal capital, it will be different."

"There, what I can do is not only to defend the war, but also to lead the entire federation to gain a glimmer of hope in this war that determines the survival of mankind."

Qin Hu then looked at Lin Feng. Perhaps the young man in front of him was not in the army and had nothing to do with him. Or perhaps he valued Lin Feng's great potential. He exhaled a puff of white smoke and expressed his thoughts:

"Along the way, I once thought that I would be the true hero who saved humanity. I also believed that as long as I dared to fight and struggle, I could keep my brothers alive. I even brushed shoulders with death during the experiment, but I managed to get through it with my own willpower..."

"But in the end, we still faced failure, failure in the war against the Zerg, failure in the trust of our brothers. Even now, we cannot change the fate of Wucheng's defeat, and the 13th Division will be disbanded..."

"A complete failure..."

"So I finally understood that no matter how strong and hard-working one person is, he or she cannot save everything. Maybe if we stay, we can defend a city or protect an urban area, but the entire human race will still not be able to escape destruction."

"And the only thing that can change all this is power."

"Use your power to mobilize all resources, promote genetic modification technology, and quickly popularize genetic warriors. With minimal resource consumption, create the greatest benefits and prevent the Zerg army from continuing to advance."

"This time, I have to do not only to defend the capital, but also to truly prove the strength and value of the genetic warriors in this defense battle!"

"I guess this is the only way to deal with the warrior insect hunter, right?"

Lin Feng was a little surprised. He saw firm belief and a hint of madness in Qin Hu's eyes.

But he was right.

Bio-modification surgery is indeed the lowest resource consumption way to create the highest combat effectiveness.

And its production speed is faster than any other thermal weapons.

However, it will use the awakened people as consumables, and its essence is still human experiment. From the perspective of morality and ethics, it is difficult to be accepted by the public.

Just look at Shen Jie's appearance and you will know.

This also involves those with deep genetic integration, who are troubled by concerns about their own cognition.

Although it will greatly enhance human strength in the early stages, it will also cause more problems later on.

The Zerg Queen has also discovered this and is now pushing forward research and development at full speed.

This can be seen from this insect nest exploration.

Most of the casualties came from warriors hunting insects.

The large-sized second-order Zergs have a hard time confronting the Gene Warriors on the battlefield, and the Warrior Hunters are not only powerful, but more importantly...

The cost required to hatch and produce them is much lower than that of the second-level tiger spine worm!
Lingyi once said that the giant jaws of the tiger-backed worm are a scarce strategic material for the queen mother, otherwise it would not have been so shameless as to only give her second-level insect eggs.

At this moment, the two pairs of legs and arms of the warrior hunting insect only need to be equipped with four two-meter-long swords, and the total weight is less than one-tenth of the giant jaws of the tiger-backed insect.

The original pair of orange-quality jaws can arm more than a dozen warrior hunting insects.

When fighting against human awakeners, it can also bring an extremely high combat-damage ratio.

This is a sure-fire deal.

In the future, there will be more and more warriors hunting insects.

Qin Hu deduced this from Lin Feng's attitude towards the new second-order Zerg, and made up his mind to put the biological transformation plan on the agenda as soon as possible.

After the two finished talking, they both fell into deep thought, while the team members also packed up.

Lin Feng has already absorbed all the giant jaws that Shen Jie has collected...

It's time to go.

Along the way, Lin Feng brought Shen Jie and followed the team silently. Together with Qin Hu, they were on guard against sneak attacks by the warrior insect hunters.

Perhaps it was because everyone was gathered together, or perhaps the first batch of warrior hunter bugs had been consumed...

In short, the journey to the surface was smooth.

With the Zerg aura released by Qin Hu and Lin Feng's Flying Tiger Armor, ordinary first-order black-backed insects did not dare to attack and retreated one after another.

The Queen Mother of Haicheng seemed to realize that she couldn't keep everyone underground for the time being, so she simply gave up on blocking them and let these living devils leave as soon as possible.

When everyone saw the light above their heads and excitedly climbed to the cave entrance, they found themselves one kilometer away from the first line of defense.

The originally broken Dongcheng District suddenly turned into ruins at this moment. Countless high-rise buildings collapsed and broke down. There was a strong smell of gunpowder between the second and first lines of defense.

Qin Hu and others were a little confused. Could it be that a war had broken out during the mission?
Looking around, I couldn't find any black-backed beetles, let alone a red beetle.

Lin Feng smiled faintly, raised the level 29 electromagnetic cannon in his hand, and fired a magnetic storm bomb into the sky.

Hundreds of meters in the sky, there was a violent explosion, and the brilliant blue arc was dazzling.

Soon after, a warship, leading eight chariots, came quickly from a distance, and the earth rumbled.

This incredible land boating...

Qin Hu and others were stunned.

I want to write the character Qin Hu as a character like the president in Fullmetal Alchemist. In this volume, the darkness will come and end with the death of the queen mother, and then other third-order Zerg will also be triggered to appear.
