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

Chapter 142 Reason, truth, my soldiers can only die in battle!

Hearing Lin Feng's reply, Ling Shuyan's face became solemn, her body trembled, and her towering breasts even beat several times!
He immediately retorted:
"impossible!"

"This can't happen!"

Lin Feng shrugged and continued:

"How is it impossible?"

"This ability is called Devouring and Assimilation. After swallowing the flesh and blood of the Zerg, one can change one's own form. Not only will one gain the Zerg's strong armor and sharp feet, but one will also possess their abnormal physical attributes..."

"At the first stage of awakening, one can have a 50% increase in physical attributes, which is much stronger than those awakened at the same time. After swallowing the green-winged insect, one can even grow membrane wings and fly freely in the sky."

"Although he will also face the problem of declining mental state, his ability to continue fighting is far stronger than that of a genetic warrior, and he will not overdraw his life or age prematurely."

"Your gene warriors are just poor imitations."

"I think this Awakened One's body should contain the perfect combination of human and Zerg genes..."

"Although I believe that with Director Ling's unremitting experimental search, this sequence combination will eventually be found, the Zerg will probably not leave humans this opportunity."

"Work with me and you will get the answers directly."

"I forgot to remind you that the Zerg warrior hunters are growing and improving at an incredible speed. If we don't hurry up, the genetic warriors may become outdated technology before they are put into actual combat!"

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can go find Qin Hu to verify it. He fought side by side with the natural gene assimilationist in the underground insect nest, and the other party also saved them."

After saying that, without waiting for Ling Shuyan's reply, Lin Feng hung up the call.

The next moment, the woman called:

"I will ask Colonel Qin to confirm, but before that, I have to remind you..."

"The types and characteristics of superpowers are closely related to the living habits of the awakened. I don't need to elaborate on this."

"Before the Zerg invasion, it is impossible for creatures on Blue Star to have come into contact with foreign genes. There is only one possibility for them to be able to integrate with the Zerg's genes. Before starting the qualitative transformation awakening, this person had already taken or been injected with Zerg genes!"

"But for ordinary people, even at the enhanced human stage, the flesh and blood of the Zerg is a highly toxic substance to them. Even if they cook it and swallow it, it will burn their stomachs and intestines, and eventually cause internal bleeding and death."

"In theory, there is no possibility of natural combination!"

"Unless he had come into contact with the Zerg before Doomsday!"

Lin Feng frowned slightly.

He knew that Shen Jie had deliberately concealed something when he recalled his experience in Haicheng, but that didn't matter.

Because according to the results of the appraisal, the other party was not parasitic and controlled by the Zerg. As long as he still recognized himself as a human...

No matter what method Shen Jie uses to overcome the toxicity of the Zerg's flesh and blood, even if his final appearance completely changes into that of a Zerg, he can accept it.

So he replied:
"That's the truth. Once you've confirmed it and are willing to cooperate, we can discuss it in detail..."

After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone again.

At this moment, Ling Shuyan in the Biological Research Institute has returned to the door of the laboratory, put down her mobile phone, and looked through the glass window at Qin Hu and others in the hibernation cabin with her eyes slightly narrowed.

The sudden change made Ling Shuyan even ignore the fact that she was hung up on twice.

And obeying rational questioning is entangled with subjective urgent expectations...

This made her feel quite complicated for a moment.

On Lin Feng's side, after hanging up the phone, he saw Fatty Ding giving a thumbs up, with a look of emotion on his face:
"What a great guy! You're the only one who dared to hang up on her, twice. Aren't you afraid that this crazy woman will hold a grudge against you and secretly trip you up in the future?"

Lin Feng smiled confidently:

"This kind of high-handed woman cannot be spoiled..."

"Judging from the performance of the gene warriors, once Qin Hu confirms that what he said is true, she will be the one who should be anxious."

"Don't worry, everything is going as planned."

Ding Chenghai showed a trace of admiration, then looked Lin Feng up and down and smirked:
"If you can handle this crazy woman, it will be very beneficial to your future development of power, but the prerequisite is that you can satisfy her!"

Lin Feng shrugged, turned around and prepared to leave.

Ding Chenghai called him from behind and finally reminded him:

"You stay at the front line and develop for a while. Leave He Jie's affairs to me..."

Lin Feng understood what the other party meant, nodded, and disappeared into the night.

Ding Chenghai picked up the empty bowl and then picked up the phone:

"Lao Zhang, don't you want to stay at the front line and study the latest second-order Zerg? I know they are supplied to the Biological Research Institute first, but I have another opportunity..."

…………

When Lin Feng returned to the war preparation granary, his men were already driving tanks, transporting canned black boxes from the underground warehouse back and forth and putting them into the storage space of the Land Cruiser.

The total weight is 150 tons, but the space occupied is more than 150 cubic meters. With external packaging, it reaches 200 cubic meters.

Fortunately, there are still 300 cubic meters of storage space inside the battleship, minus the collected Zerg biological materials.

There is no need for tanks to share the burden for the time being.

With the logistics supply, the last food problem was easily solved by Lin Feng...

The process of taking office as division commander and taking over the 13th Division is already in the countdown.

After loading and unloading was completed, Lin Feng immediately ordered to turn back and return to the highway service area where they came from.

On the way back, I looked at the other side of the river. The once bustling and lively streets were now in a dark place. There were only a few scattered lights, beating silently under the cover of night...

There are still some survivors left in Jincheng City.

Han Yuxin on the side introduced:

"According to our statistics, there are still about 100,000 survivors in the four districts of the city center who have not evacuated. Most of them are the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, as well as some enhanced people who want to use the cover of buildings to kill the insect swarm, and the early awakened ones."

Lin Feng nodded. As the capital city of Jiangnan Prefecture, Jincheng once had a permanent population of over 10 million. Adding the refugees who fled from Haicheng and Wucheng, it was normal for 1% of the population to remain as survivors.

There are more than 100,000 people living in an area of ​​6,000 square kilometers, with an average of only 16 or 17 people per square kilometer. There may be no one in several buildings.

Coupled with the gathering nature of groups, large areas of buildings in the city have now become veritable no-man's land.

When the defenders of the Wucheng defense line retreat, those speculators who are waiting and watching will also leave.

By then, there will be even fewer survivors in the city.

Lin Feng hoped to walk more so as not to interfere with his street fighting training.

Han Yuxin beside me continued to introduce:

"Among these 100,000 people, most are small groups of survivors numbering dozens or even hundreds. Some of the largest have gathered two to three thousand people and occupied the former food warehouses and large shopping malls..."

"The core members of these gangs are basically awakened ones, and there are also those in the late first stage. They all fled from the cities north of the Yangtze River, which were also attacked by the Queen Mother. However, after the Zerg occupied several urban areas, the speed of their invasion and expansion slowed down a lot."

"As long as you can lead the regular army and take over Jincheng, these mixed forces will definitely come over to us."

Lin Feng shook his head:
"I don't need to seek refuge. It's already tiring to feed 15,000 people. They can either choose to join us and fight the enemy, or get out of Jincheng."

"As for the civilian survivors, if they want to get shelter and food, they have to work hard with their own hands."

Han Yuxin's face lit up with joy, and she asked:
"Then what should we do with those thugs and criminals who have committed so many evil things? Just let them go?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly:

"Don't worry, they'll die a worthy death."

After arriving at the Jincheng South Service Area, Han Yuxin and others were dropped off and the Land Cruiser continued on its way.

The sky in the distance has begun to turn slightly white.

…………

Taihu service area, temporary campsite.

In a hotel room on the second floor of the rest building, Shen Jie tightly clenched a thin, sweaty hand.

The owner of the slender hand was Zhang Liying, who entered the second-level awakening after dealing with the second-level insect eggs.

She had been awake since 12:00 a.m., and it had been almost four hours, but she still hadn't gotten any better. At this moment, Zhang Liying was soaked in sweat, and as her body trembled violently, more and more dark green diamond-shaped scales appeared on the surface of her skin.

That is the dorsal exoskeleton of the green-winged insect.

It is also the first-level insect that Zhang Liying eats the most.

However, Zhang Liying, who had rarely used the assimilated form, obviously found it difficult to adapt to the violent distortion brought about by the improvement of her superpowers during the second-level awakening.

Shen Jie held her hand, and with his other hand he picked up the cup filled with organic nutrient solution, put the mouthful of the cup to the girl's mouth, and fed her mouthful after mouthful.

However, Zhang Liying, who had already drunk several kilograms of the drug, found that apart from slowing down the spread of her physical deformities, it had no effect on relieving her mental state.

Using nutrient solution to keep the body alive is not a solution.

As her awakening deepens, the distortion brought about by the growth of her superpowers will completely turn Zhang Liying into a bug, a permanent mutation that cannot be erased.

Unless she can wake up as soon as possible and control the boiling assimilation power in her body!
However, Lin Feng was not present at this time. The anxious Shen Jie suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took out a long and thin limb from the backpack beside him.

It is twenty centimeters thick and looks like an enlarged version of a crab claw.

This is a section of one of the four arms of the warrior hunting insect. After Shen Jie killed it, he felt that it looked very much like a human hand, so he collected it and brought it back.

He remembered the inference that Lin Feng had once mentioned, that the warrior hunter insect was the queen mother, hatched by stitching together Zerg and humans, and contained both Zerg and human genes in its body.

So can we use it to reconcile the assimilation power that cannot be stably assimilated in Zhang Liying's body at the moment?

Anyway, the two of them are completely immune to the toxicity of the Zerg flesh and blood.

Shen Jie immediately raised the joint above the mouth of the cup, then clenched his hand and squeezed out the reddish translucent juice inside into the cup.

When mixed with the milky white organic nutrient solution, a strange smell of blood emerges.

After preparing the neutralizer, Shen Jie fed it to Zhang Liying who was unconscious in front of him.

After drinking it, within a few minutes, her condition improved after absorption, and she no longer trembled like before...

And the degree of deformation and mutation on the body is gradually weakening.

This means that absorbing the second-level genes of the warrior hunter insect can consume a lot of assimilation abilities.

After Zhang Liying's condition stabilized, Shen Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed.

This is more stressful than going deep into the insect nest and facing the siege of warrior hunting insects...

Fortunately, he was finally rescued.

Not long after, Zhang Liying slowly woke up from her coma and opened her eyes...

Gradually regaining her senses, she smacked her lips, and suddenly her stomach twitched. She stood up and retched a few times towards the bed, but unfortunately the gastrointestinal nutrient solution had already been completely absorbed.

Then, with tears in her eyes, she held Shen Jie's hand tightly:

"Why...why is there still that smell..."

Shen Jie's heart trembled, and he hugged her tightly in his arms:
"It's okay, it's okay, it's all over."

After calming down Zhang Liying's excitement, she fell into a deep sleep due to physical and mental exhaustion after she had vented her emotions.

There was a noise coming from outside the house. Shen Jie covered Zhang Liying with a blanket and turned to go outside.

Walking alone in the corridor, his thoughts followed the echo of his footsteps, returning to the day when the doomsday broke out.

The reason the two of them were able to survive in the school's sports equipment room was not because they directly consumed the Zerg's flesh and blood, but because their companions were poisoned to death by the Zerg's blood.

At first, there was only one of them. When he killed the red beetle, his wound was unfortunately stained with the blood of the insect. Not long after, he died in the equipment room.

The remaining survivors suffered from a surge of adrenaline, sweating profusely, and feeling dry mouth and tongue. After enduring a whole day, they were almost exhausted.

When it was late at night, some people wanted to replenish water and restore their strength, so they rushed out under the cover of darkness to seek help.

So he took emergency measures and drank the remaining blood of the dead to restore his strength.

As a result, not long after, he fell into a coma due to severe abdominal pain. It was not until the next day when Shen Jie and others woke up that they found that their companion had gradually "stopped breathing".

Also in order to survive, Shen Jie, who had killed several red beetles and was already a level 2 enhanced man, cut his companion's wrist.

He only tried a few, and then used the corpses as bait to attract a large number of red beetles. He then took Zhang Liying and successfully escaped from the gymnasium. He ran all the way to the outside of the school and finally boarded the school bus...

Followed Lin Feng and others and fled from Haicheng.

This was the truth at the time.

Now that I think about it, the reason why the two were not poisoned to death was because the toxins in the Zerg's blood had been diluted after two rounds at the cost of their lives, and it barely reached the limit that a reinforced human could withstand.

However, even so, these toxins still took root in the two of them, like a blood curse, and even after becoming awakened, they still followed them like a shadow.

The two had agreed to keep this secret deep in their hearts.

Shen Jie, who has experienced many ups and downs, has become indifferent to it, but Zhang Liying is still deeply affected.

It was not until this time that I had a close call with death that I woke up to find that taste in my mouth again. The guilt that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time finally burst out.

Shen Jie took a deep breath and composed himself.

Walk outside the rest building to welcome the returning fleet.

Lin Feng walked out of the warship and announced that the mission was successfully completed and the future logistical supply of the team has been fully guaranteed.

Tomorrow, just follow me to the second line of defense and take over command.

While everyone was cheering and celebrating, Lin Feng took a deep look at Shen Jie, who was standing at the back of the crowd and was wearing armor.

The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.

The next morning, Li Ran, the most active member of the team, like most of the other soldiers, had not slept all night, so he started to pack up at six o'clock.

He wiped the red black armor on his body clean, maintained the shotgun in his hand until it was shiny, and by the way, he also washed the chariot, which had rushed into the deep mountains and forests and was covered in mud and dust, inside and out, making it spotless.

When Lin Feng woke up yawning at nine o'clock in the morning, he saw the team members who were ready to go and lined up neatly beside the brand new chariot.

Waiting for your own orders.

Looking at the majestic and solemn formation in front of me, I already have some of the shadow of the super legion in my mind.

Lin Feng, who was in a good mood, gave the order immediately.

Set out to the rear of the second line of defense, the headquarters of the 13th Division!

The Invincible Fleet sped away in a mighty manner, ignoring the small bunker outpost in the south of the defense line and heading directly into the second line of defense.

Slow down in front of the main fort in the middle of the defense line.

This is the university town area on the west side of the ring canal, with several colleges on both sides and a large square in the middle.

At this time, the top leaders of the 13th Division, including the head teacher, were already standing at the end of the square, waiting for the fleet to arrive.

Lin Feng stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the handover team of only a hundred people, frowning slightly.

When the warship stopped in front of everyone, Lin Feng jumped down from the bow and looked at the empty square behind him:
"Where are the other soldiers?"

"Fifteen thousand people, how can these be enough?"

"Notify them that anyone who is willing to follow me should come over!"

The guard at the side was a little embarrassed and looked at the head teacher.

The teacher coughed lightly:
"Someone needs to watch over the defense line right now. Most of the grassroots commanders have been summoned. As long as they are here, the team will not disperse."

Lin Feng shook his head. His battle mentality was not to defend the front. He immediately looked at the hundreds of commanders and shouted:
"Remember this, everyone! My first order!"

"From now on, in this unit, there will only be warriors who die in the charge, and no cowards who retreat!"

"My soldiers exist only to defeat the Zerg and recover humanity's lost territory!"

"As for now, get back here, and gather your men as quickly as possible. Tell them that those who are willing to follow me out of the city to fight should come and report!"

"Otherwise, you'll be doing logistics and defense for the rest of your life!"
