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

Chapter 154: The first battle is won, Long Yi intends to enter the insect nest again
In fact, the most dangerous situation in urban battles is encountering continuous attacks from an infinite swarm of insects.

This is not a problem of insufficient firepower, but the corpses of the killed Zerg will greatly weaken the killing effect of subsequent artillery shells.

Especially at the street entrances, the mountains of insect corpses not only affect the aiming and locking vision, but also seriously interfere with the commanders' judgment.

Unlike the vast plains in the suburbs, the tall buildings in the city provide the best cover for the Zerg attack.

That's why Lin Feng made the decision to retreat into the hotel building first.

After he gave the order, several green shadows appeared in the rooms on the streets in the distance.

Lin Feng's expression immediately froze.

That's a green-winged insect!
Moreover, their levels are not low. There are more than a dozen green-winged insects in the late first stage. The torso alone is nearly ten meters long, and the membranous wings spread out on their backs are as wide as fifteen meters.

Once they lean forward and speed up, their speed will definitely be faster than the reaction time of a first-level awakener. If they are not shot down in advance, it will cause heavy casualties to more than a dozen people in an instant!
Thus tearing through the defense line!
Lin Feng frowned slightly, realizing that it was time to take action.

Then he raised the level 29 electromagnetic cannon in his hand.

After upgrading to the late second stage, in his eyes, the green-winged insect, which once moved at a speed of over 100 meters per second, now moved as slowly as a dancing butterfly. He could easily aim and lock onto it without even activating the bullet time attribute.

Switch to magnetic storm bombs and aim at the blue-winged insect swarm!
Pull the trigger and fire!
A magnetic storm bullet the size of a fist condensed from the muzzle of the gun. As the shooting distance increased, it gradually expanded and turned into a magnetic storm plasma ball the size of a basketball.

Until it flew to the maximum distance of more than one kilometer and expanded to a size of one meter, the electromagnetic sphere could no longer maintain its internal centripetal constraint structure and exploded in an instant.

It turned into a rumbling electric current, filling the air.

The magnetic storm released at that moment spread out like a spider web, shattering the glass windows of nearby high-rise buildings. Even the green-winged insects hundreds of meters away were paralyzed by the bombardment of electric current and lost their ability to fly. They crashed directly into the walls of the buildings like headless flies.

The lightning of the magnetic storm also affected the swarms of black-backed insects on the ground, but the earth conducted the electricity, and their already thick skin and armor only caused dizziness for a dozen seconds.

And this amount of time is enough!
Taking advantage of the rhythm of the insect swarm attack, which was interrupted by a cannon shot, Lin Feng and the second-level legion team called on the nearby soldiers to retreat into the hotel building in an orderly manner.

This four-star hotel is located close to the river, so it has fifteen or sixteen floors and is seventy or eighty meters high. It is unique in this small county town and offers a great view of the river at night.

What Lin Feng valued was its height.

Using telepathy, Lin Feng confirmed that there were no traces of Zerg under the building. He called on everyone to hide inside the hotel and line up to block the tide of black-backed Zerg.

It is enough to place one hundred soldiers in the hall on the first floor, and the remaining six hundred people will go up to the high building and shoot from the windows, fully arming the building and turning it into a blockhouse.

In this way, the combat teams on the lower floors only need to be responsible for close-range strafing of two to three hundred meters, while the upper floors can attack the insect swarms at a longer distance according to their own field of vision height.

This allows for long-range blocking and the Zerg to be driven back several kilometers.

Soon, with the division of labor and cooperation and different levels of firepower attacks, hundreds of black-backed insects died in hatred and were completely unable to break through the dense firepower network of the hotel's blockhouse.

As for the green-winged insects, they were even less useful. The hotel's cylindrical three-dimensional defense layer provided a wide field of vision, and even if the green-winged insects launched a dive attack, it would be difficult to avoid the bullets and artillery fire.

In this way, the dangerous insect swarm that was originally coming with great force was successfully suppressed under Lin Feng's decisive command.

At this time, five hundred soldiers also killed the seriously injured black-backed worms that fell to the ground, and gained the energy to become first-level awakeners.

Long Yi was still frightened by this. Last time, Lin Feng relied on the excellent equipment of his soldiers to build a powerful firepower that far exceeded the human average, which wasted thousands of black-backed insects under her command.

More than 10% of his strength was lost in an instant.

No revenue yet.

Such a loss really made Long Yi feel painful.

It was for this reason that when Lin Feng led his team into the city to fight, and saw that the black-backed insects were gaining the upper hand in the street fighting, Ling Yi directly sent out the second-order tiger-backed insects, intending to swallow up this group of human awakeners in one fell swoop and make up for the losses from the previous defeat in the suburbs.

Unfortunately, the insect’s wish was not fulfilled.

Long Yi had never expected that the leader of this team of all awakened people would be so powerful and abnormal.

With just one man and one gun, he easily took care of more than ten second-order tiger-spine insects, making him invincible at the same level.

Now that his strength has improved, it is estimated that he also relied on himself to send out that group of second-stage tiger-spine worms to complete the evolution to the middle and late stages of the second stage.

Especially the sci-fi style electromagnetic cannon in his hand, which is completely different from the technological level that humans on Blue Star can possess...

Electromagnetic confinement alone has already touched upon the capabilities of fourth-order cosmic life.

It is also one of the technology trees of the cosmic race.

Even the Zerg's Pulse Scorpion and the subsequent more powerful Plasma Queen, which contain advanced biological technology, cannot compare with it.

Just now, Lin Feng showed off his skills and interrupted the attack of thousands of insects with just one shot. The subsequent mercy he showed was entirely for the purpose of leaving the lives of the black-spine insects for his soldiers to harvest and help them complete their evolution quickly.

The electromagnetic cannon's bonus to Lin Feng's strength is the strongest and most direct among all the equipment.

Long stared at the muzzle of the gun in Lin Feng's hand, with a thoughtful look on his face.

If we have such powerful equipment to help us easily deal with the second-level Zerg, then the conditions I mentioned before may really be possible to achieve.

Most of the Zerg's hatcheries are in the second-level nests. Some cautious queens will even build a second-level hatchery near the bottom-level nest.

If Lin Feng's strength had not increased too much, Long Yi did not think that the other party would have a chance to penetrate into the second-level insect nest.

After all, only a third-level Zerg nest was captured. For the Queen Mother, this loss is completely acceptable, and she will not send out a large number of second-level Zergs to block the attack.

But near the second-level insect nest, in those wide tunnels, there are groups of second-level tiger-spine insects stationed!

Lin Feng and nine other second-level awakeners are simply unable to defeat hundreds of tiger-spine insects in such a small environment!
But now Lin Feng has such fierce firepower on his own, so Long Yi feels that he can take a risk.

They even use this opportunity to plunder the biological resources of the Queen Mother here to enrich themselves!

At this moment, the first wave of insects arrived, and was nearing its end under the powerful firepower of the blockhouse.

The human side won a great victory!

Not only was there no casualties, but three or four thousand black-backed worms were completely wiped out!

As the remaining scattered insect swarms retreated one after another under the command of the Queen Mother, the team members cheered.

But Lin Feng did not show any joy.

With two hundred awakened ones armed with shotguns, such a victory was only natural.

Moreover, the battle had just begun. The Zerg did not go too far away and completely abandon this small county town along the river. Instead, they hid nearby, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Lin Feng then called the members of the second-level legion team:

"Give the order, every ten teams will form a platoon, with a platoon leader and a deputy platoon leader, for a total of ten platoons."

"Then send half of the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and collect the giant jaws of the black-spine insects. The awakened ones will be responsible for patrolling and guarding, and the enhanced ones will be responsible for cutting and transporting."

Shen Jie nodded and led the team members to notify them.

A few minutes later, 350 soldiers left the hotel tower one after another and began to cut up the black-backed worm corpses a hundred meters away and collect the giant jaws.

The remaining half of the members continued to stay upstairs, carefully observing the surroundings to prevent the swarm from attacking again.

Seeing that Lin Feng did not order an evacuation and wanted to stay here, Long Yi was a little puzzled and said:
"Why are you collecting these common giant jaws? Will it seriously slow down the team's progress? Or do you want to keep some soldiers in the building to guard the spoils?"

"It's not realistic to send it back directly. It takes too long."

Lin Feng shook his head, opened his backpack and took out several sticks of nutritional supplements. This was a gift from Ling Shuyan when she came to discuss cooperation. Other new products of the Biological Research Institute, high-energy nutritional supplements.

Can provide sufficient nutrition to the awakened.

Although it is not as good as the organic nutrient solution of the second-level insect eggs, it is very effective for the awakened ones.

Back then in the underground insect nest at the first line of defense in Wucheng, Qin Hu and his companions inhaled this to replenish their bodies' nutrients and quickly recovered after a fierce battle.

But they added some extra ingredients.

It can stimulate the Zerg's genetic assimilation to ensure the continuation of the combat state.

The only thing is that the sequelae are a bit serious, which is also one of the defects of the genetic warriors.

What Lin Feng had in his hands were just simple compound high-energy nutritional supplements.

Compared with compressed portable military rations, it has higher calories and more comprehensive nutrition. At the same time, the gel-like fluid can speed up the body's gastrointestinal absorption.

It is very suitable for Lin Feng’s current needs.

While sipping the salty and sweet liquid food, Lin Feng replied:

"Before, I only had a hundred people under my command, so they were easy to support. Now I have more than five thousand people, and no resources can be wasted. These thousands of pairs of black-spine insect jaws are enough to arm five hundred enhanced human soldiers."

Just as he finished speaking, giant jaws were delivered to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel one after another. Lin Feng asked the 9 enhanced human soldiers upstairs to take off their level red armor, and then upgraded them to a higher level.

Since there were plenty of giant jaws this time, Lin Feng immediately upgraded each set of red black armor to level 13, with 90 points of defense. Even if they were unfortunately attacked by black-spine insects, they could barely save their lives.

It took about two hours, with soldiers taking turns to collect all the giant jaws. As for the small number of insect corpses two kilometers away, they were not allowed to go deeper because it was too dangerous.

There are more than 3,400 pairs of giant jaws in total.

Lin Feng upgraded the red armor of 13 soldiers to level or above red black armor. At this moment, the overall combat power level of the team has reached a new level.

Witnessing everything that happened before his eyes, Long Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Until now, she finally understood why the great insect god, the mother of life, did not erase her who had awakened her free will, but instead ordered her to secretly assist Lin Feng.

Because of the opponent's extraordinary abilities, there is indeed a good chance of helping the Zerg escape the fate of being used as a tool of war and enslaved.

This infinitely synthesized superpower not only makes Lin Feng completely invincible among those of the same level, but also allows the soldiers under his command to easily defeat enemies that outnumber their number several times.

At the same time, like the Zerg, they can form a model of fighting to support fighting, becoming stronger and braver with each battle.

What’s even more powerful than the Zerg is that the soldiers under Lin Feng’s command are all intelligent humans, and their combat skills are far better than those of the low-level Zerg who have no independent judgment.

Once Lin Feng enters the third level, the Queen Mother of the world will be in danger. Even if a third-level king spiny worm is sent from the deepest high-level Zerg hatching center underground, it will be difficult to kill Lin Feng who can fight and run and come and go freely.

By then, if the two of them cooperate, Lin Feng will be able to help himself enter the late third stage, and even become the next fourth-stage insect king...

It’s not impossible!

At this moment, Lin Feng had recovered. He synthesized 500 sets of red armor in one breath, and the deterioration in his condition was restored during the break at noon.

Among the rest of the soldiers, there were quite a few level nine enhanced people who were in good condition. They took advantage of the three or four hours at noon to successfully complete the initial upgrade and awakening.

Among the last five hundred people, more than two hundred became new awakeners of level 10, and the team's strength was instantly increased by a small amount.

Lin Feng immediately ordered:

"Let's go to the underground insect nest in the center of the city!"

Then he smiled and said to Long Yi, who was standing alone in a daze:

"Lead the way! We need to find a wormhole that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and severely injure this ignorant queen mother, so that she will be seriously injured and unable to participate in the siege of Wucheng."

Having his thoughts interrupted, Long Yi finally came to his senses, raised his head quickly, and responded:

"Ah? Ok... Ok! I'll be right there!"

Then he took Lin Feng's hand, walked in front, and pointed to a place behind the city.

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, sensing something was wrong.

Longyi seemed to suddenly become proactive. Although she had been following the team before, she always had the attitude of being out sightseeing and watching a show.

The 180-degree change now made Lin Feng unable to adapt for a while.

As soon as Long Yi felt the clumsiness and slowness of the person behind him, he turned around and urged:
"What are you looking at? Let's get going quickly. It's already past one o'clock. We are going to do something big today!"

Lin Feng shrugged and followed.

The soldiers who obtained the new armor gained confidence and followed the awakened ones out of the smoke-filled hotel building.

Back on the ring road, a team of 700 people marched forward with a strong desire to fight! In the heart of the Zerg-occupied area, it was like entering an uninhabited area!
During this period, Lin Feng launched telepathy several times, but unfortunately, the nearby Zerg had all hidden, either four or five kilometers away from the team, or deep underground.

Like the Queen Mother of Haicheng, after realizing that she could not defeat this team of human awakeners, she chose to avoid fighting.

He wanted to move the battlefield to an underground wormhole to limit the soldiers' firepower advantage.

However, doing so was exactly what Lin Feng wanted.

The main purpose of this operation is not the low-level Zerg on the surface, but the large number of second-level tiger-spine worms in the hive, as well as those precious second-level insect eggs.

As the Zerg no longer launched attacks and harassment, the team of 700 soldiers soon arrived at the entrance of a wormhole.

Unfortunately, this is a large square and there are no protective buildings nearby that can serve as shelters. After using telepathy, there is no level 3 insect nest near the cave.

Lin Feng then asked Long Yi to lead the way to the second place.

After wandering around the city for half an hour, I finally found a five-meter-wide cave entrance, right next to the river that rings the city.

There is a riverside community nearby, with old six-story residential buildings in front, behind, on both sides.

Although it looks shabby, it is fully capable of serving as a temporary blockhouse to block the insect tide and deal with some low-level Zerg attacks or a few second-level tiger-spine insects.

There are a total of two hundred level 19 shotguns in the combat team, which serve as replicas of electromagnetic guns. Unless the Zerg sends out pulse scorpions or tank flame armors, the close combat tiger-spine worms alone will not be able to break through the fire output network.

After Lin Feng finished his instructions, he led the second-order legion team and the researcher Ling Yi, and stepped into the downward sloping wormhole entrance.

Ling Yi looked around and became familiar with the environment, and introduced:

"When the Zerg Queen produces eggs, a large amount of water resources are needed. At the same time, during the hatching process of the second-stage eggs, fresh water is also needed to serve as a culture medium."

"There must be a nest for hatching creatures under this wormhole responsible for ventilation. I just don't know whether the eggs hatched inside are second-level or ordinary ones."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

In a low voice:
"Shh!"

"They're coming!"

"Second-order tiger-spine swarm!"
