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

Chapter 170 Lin Feng's coma, secondary insect god
Because of the long-term consumption of the artistic conception world, Ling Yi needs to concentrate during the period of condensing the spiritual channel to avoid other accidents.

But she, with her eyes shining with golden light, did not notice that Lin Feng looked back and saw the artistic conception world gradually collapsing...

Naturally, he didn't notice that at this moment, the shadow of an eyeball had been imprinted behind Lin Feng.

The shadow of the eyeball followed the two of them all the way, from the cocoon where Shen Jie was, into Lin Feng's body.

When the two's consciousness returned to their bodies, Long Yi slowly woke up after his hands and face twitched a few times.

He opened his eyes and saw Chen Yanyan and the second-level legion members, including seven late-stage perfect awakeners headed by Liu Yi, holding up their shotguns, ready for battle.

I gritted my teeth...

He inserted himself into the cocoon with all his strength, and then suddenly pulled his right hand, which was almost integrated with it, out.

Many meridians and blood vessels, like broken lotus roots but still connected by silk threads, were broken one after another under her tearing.

After taking a breath, he looked at the woman in front of him:
"It's only half successful, but there shouldn't be any risk of spillover pollution for the time being. But whether he can maintain his self-esteem and wake up in the end depends on Shen Jie himself!"

Chen Yanyan frowned slightly, her tone cold:

"Is Lin Feng back?"

The dragonfly nodded slightly, breathing faintly:

"Of course, he followed me all the way back to the body through the passage."

"Remember to send someone to guard this cocoon and confirm Shen Jie's condition after he wakes up..."

Before he could finish his words, a black gun muzzle as big as a fist was already pointed at Long Yi's forehead. Chen Yanyan spoke fiercely and sternly:
"certainly!?"

"Then why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"And the temperature is getting higher and higher..."

Following the direction Chen Yanyan was looking, Long turned his head and saw Lin Feng on the other side of the cocoon.

At this moment, Lin Feng was trembling all over, his face was flushed, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept secreting and sliding down his forehead.

He looked like he was in a coma with a high fever and was seriously ill.

Realizing that the situation had changed, Long Yi quickly crawled to Lin Feng and put the back of his hand on his forehead.

"Don't move! Tell me everything that happened inside first!"

The muzzle of the gun in Chen Yanyan's hand was pressed hard against the back of Long Yi's head. Her inner anxiety and worry had reached its peak, but in order to stabilize the situation, she had to force herself to calm down first.

After checking Lin Feng's condition, Long Yi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then as if his soul had been taken away, he collapsed on the wriggling cocoon.

His voice was low and weak, and he spoke intermittently:

"Don't be nervous. I have no strength or energy left, and I can't threaten you."

"As for Lin Feng's situation..."

"This guy seized the spiritual energy of the node symbiote. That thing is equivalent to the spiritual power of a third-stage early queen mother, but he didn't tell me in advance..."

"After his self-consciousness was taken away, the energy temporarily stored in his brain was released, causing his consciousness to be involved as well."

"You can think of it as a test of some kind of spiritual state, just like Shen Jie's, but the one related to the Zerg Queen is much simpler. If he succeeds, his spiritual power will break through the limit and enter the early stage of the third level..."

"This will be of great help in killing the high-level queen mother later, and it's not... not a bad thing."

"But before that, I advise you to move him and me away as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the monster behind you breaks out of its shell, no one will be able to stop it from killing people."

Chen Yanyan snorted coldly and sent Liu Yi to call two more people to put Lin Feng on the stretcher, cover him up, and quickly send him back to the warship.

Looking back at Longyi who stood up tremblingly, and at the twisted and deformed black and yellow cocoon behind her, there seemed to be some creature inside, struggling to get out.

As soon as Long Yi walked out of the chariot, he stood beside Chen Yanyan, looking at the cocoon inside the chariot, and continued:

"The new body is being infiltrated and nourished by the killing state of mind. Whether Shen Jie can grasp this power depends on how clear his consciousness is and how firm his will is."

"Judging from his performance in the artistic conception world, there shouldn't be any big problems."

Chen Yanyan's eyes were cold:
"Let's not talk about Shen Jie's life or death. You should know that if Lin Feng can't wake up, not only you, but also your mother queen who is far away in Jiacheng, will become the mortal enemy of the Thirteenth Division from now on!"

Long Yi looked at the woman next to him and felt the tangible murderous intent from her. The other party was not joking.

Then he replied calmly:

"Don't underestimate your man."

"He is no ordinary being. There is no other human being in this world who is more qualified and capable than him to accept the gift from the Insect King."

When she saw the black and yellow cocoon being carried out of the chariot surrounded by the second-level legion, she changed the subject:
"Compared to these, you should know that if Shen Jie successfully wakes up and returns, he can easily defeat all of us with his killing intent..."

"Including you and me."

"During the time when Lin Feng was in a coma, he posed a greater threat than I did."

Hearing this, Chen Yanyan turned around and looked at Long Yi, with a hint of worry between her brows:

"You don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Lin Feng has made arrangements in advance. The seven second-level legion members headed by Liu Yi have been promoted to late-stage perfect awakeners, which is enough to contain Shen Jie after he wakes up."

Ling Yi shook his head:
"You underestimate the power of artistic conception. They are the meaning of the existence of fourth-order cosmic life. They are also the essence of a race and civilization that has spent hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to condense and engrave in its genes..."

"Even if Shen Jie is only mastering the superficial power of artistic conception at the moment, using it to deal with beings of the same level is no different from a dimensionality reduction attack."

"Let alone seven late-stage second-level warriors, even if there were twenty or thirty of them, it would be difficult to suppress him when he is in killing mode."

"Besides, the seven of you are ordinary awakeners. If you were replaced by gene warriors, there might still be a glimmer of hope."

"Shen Jie's own ability can give him a 100% bonus to his physical strength. Combined with the violent improvement of his killing state, he can even have a physical level that exceeds that of the early third stage."

"By then, he will be able to easily break the speed of sound when attacking. The damage caused by the collision alone will be more powerful than the artillery in your hands..."

Chen Yanyan narrowed her eyes slightly:
"If Shen Jie was still conscious, he would never have attacked Lin Feng. We saved him."

"Instead of trying to sow discord here, why not think about how to wake Lin Feng up quickly? The longer you delay like this, the worse your fate will be!"

The corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"Once I recover, I will continue to help. Don't worry, Lin Feng is more important to me than you think..."

After saying this, Ling Yi added in his heart:
'He is the hope for the entire Zerg to break free from their shackles...'

Chen Yanyan ignored her and returned to the battleship. She wiped Lin Feng's body in the bedroom with a wet towel, trying to lower his body temperature first, and then used the organic nutrient solution in the second-level insect eggs to replenish the energy consumed by the brain.

After finishing, she came to the bow of the ship, turned around and aimed at the black and yellow cocoon that had been moved to the open space.

Under the tense gaze of the crowd, the cocoon keeps wriggling and struggling, and is about to break out of its cocoon and be reborn.

The black and yellow insect armor that appeared on its surface began to penetrate inward and re-entered Shen Jie's body, wrapping and arming him again.

Then a pair of two-meter-long knives pierced through the top of the insect eggs, completely tearing apart the egg skin that was only a layer of thumb-thickness left.

A half-crouching humanoid figure is revealed inside.

At this moment, except for his head, Shen Jie's entire body was covered with dark insect scales, exactly the same as his state in the artistic conception world.

In his half-open eyes, a trace of blood flashed, which no one else noticed. It disappeared in an instant and then returned to normal. He stood up, fully two meters tall.

There was an evil aura emanating from his entire body.

That was the energy he accumulated from killing countless tiger-backed insects in his killing state.

"Captain Shen Jie!"

Liu Yi, who led people to surround the cocoon, shouted in a deep voice.

Shen Jie was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the people in front of him, revealing a long-lost smile:

"I'm here."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lowered their guns. Their worries disappeared with the words "I'm here". Chen Yanyan looked at the recovering Long Yi and after seeing him nod, she ordered the nearby tanks that were always locked on the target to stop the combat status.

In the venue, Shen Jie controlled all his strength to remove the sharp insect armor on his body, and the pair of two-meter-long bone blades were also crossed behind him.

It is fixed by membranous wings that are folded in the shoulder blades.

In the end, he was left with only a normal set of Red Tiger Armor, just like the other members.

The permanent characteristics left by the Zerg genes due to excessive assimilation disappeared without a trace as they broke out of the cocoon and were reborn.

Shen Jie, who has returned to normal, naturally regained his former sunshine and confidence.

He walked to the bottom of the battleship and asked:
"Where are Feng and the others?"

Chen Yanyan's eyes flickered as she walked out of the warship:

"After destroying the underground hatching nest, he gained the spiritual energy of that mother body and now has begun a deep spiritual awakening..."

"According to Long Yi, it's probably the same as you."

Shen Jie frowned slightly:

"That guy, Longyi?"

Chen Yanyan sighed softly, probably knowing that Shen Jie already knew the identity of Ling Yi:
"I will arrange a separate chariot for her and assign someone to watch her. I will not let her escape before Lin Feng wakes up."

Shen Jie nodded and reminded:
"She is very powerful mentally, and can even control organisms whose mental power is much weaker than hers. To be on the safe side, we should try to have several awakened people in the late stage of the second order take turns to guard her."

Chen Yanyan hummed:

"Understood. Now that the matter has been resolved and it's getting late, let's return as soon as possible."

"Security on the return trip is up to you."

Shen Jie patted his chest, eager to try:
"Don't worry, just leave it to me. My mind is full of that peak-level second-order tiger-spine worm. Give me another chance, and I will avenge my previous humiliation!"

After saying that, he walked into a chariot.

It took more than ten minutes for everyone to deliver the remaining 200 second-stage insect eggs into the battleship's storage room, and then let the wounded lie down in the tanks. The rest of the people followed the fleet, maintaining a constant speed of sixty to seventy yards, and returned to the Wucheng camp.

The two places were more than 100 kilometers apart, and it took two hours to reach the camp.

During this period, the fleet left the suburbs of Changcheng and encountered another Tier 2 Zerg squad lying in ambush outside.

However, with Shen Jie leading the charge, this Zerg squad of less than a dozen individuals was completely killed in just a few minutes.

The pair of giant bone blades on the sides of Shen Jie's arms were like the scythe of the god of death, silently harvesting one second-level Zerg after another.

Under the moonlight, he flapped his membranous wings and floated in the air, gazing at the silent world before him, the blood red in his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

To release the murderous intent, death must be sacrificed.

Only death can soothe the throbbing of killing.

Life goes on, but killing never stops.

Looking at the fleet going away, Shen Jie was satisfied, then he returned to normal and caught up with the team.

We returned to Wucheng camp safely.

The defenders in the second line of defense also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the fleet finally returning.

When Lin Feng and the fleet are not around, the defense line is at its weakest.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother of Haicheng's attention was attracted by Lin Feng's Jiangbei raid plan. Although she also made an absolutely correct response strategy, she did not achieve effective results due to Lin Feng's timely response.

In short, although the fleet suffered certain damage in this operation, the overall strength of the defenders increased sharply.

Especially the one hundred and fifty second-stage early awakeners and the remaining two hundred or so second-stage insect eggs will undoubtedly increase everyone's confidence.

The celebratory dinner was filled with laughter and joy around the campfire.

In the highest conference room set up in the school auditorium, Chen Yanyan, Li Ran, Shen Jie, and the second-level legion members who had successfully advanced to the late second level, a total of ten people, gathered together with solemn expressions.

At the edge of the seat was the newly arrived Longyi.

The original second-level team consisting of eight members have been appointed as new captains, responsible for leading the training of 150 second-level early awakeners and forming a complete second-level legion team.

Their status naturally rose with their strength, and they were qualified to participate in the highest meetings of the Thirteenth Division.

After discussing and deciding these trivial matters, everyone's attention shifted to Long Yi, who was sitting in the corner without saying a word.

The last and most important thing is, of course, the current status of Lin Feng, the leader and commander of the 13th Division.

Long Yi had a calm expression, with a hint of smile on his lips, as he looked at the ten people in front of him.

She knew that this group of people deliberately concealed Lin Feng's situation. In order to appease people, they announced to the outside world that the commander was currently in the process of promotion and could not come out to celebrate.

There are so many awakened people and second-level insect eggs, so this reason is very tenable.

But Lin Feng’s actual situation is not ideal.

The expression on Long Yi's face was gloomy:

"I just checked, Lin Feng's condition is a little bit abnormal."

"His spiritual world directly rejected my intervention. In this situation, there are only two possibilities..."

"First, his spiritual power is far greater than mine. This is very likely. After all, that is the energy of an entire node symbiont. No life in the second level can compare to it."

"And it also has the ability of artistic conception, which allows it to forcibly control a second-level peak tiger-spine insect."

"The second is that the world that Lin Feng is currently trapped in is more advanced than what I can access."

"That is to say, the artistic conception condensed by that extra spiritual energy was not from a third-order creature that mastered the artistic conception, but from a fourth-order Zerg..."

"Or, the Insect King is more appropriate."

"For us, they are the real gods of this world..."

…………

When Lin Feng followed Ling Yi in front of him and walked to the end of the spiritual passage...

A dazzling white light appeared in front of him, and his figure was submerged in the white light and disappeared.

When Lin Feng woke up again, he unexpectedly found himself appearing in the dark and cold space.

He quickly realized that this was still a spiritual space, not the real world.

Since he was only at the second level, he would have been frozen to death if he entered space.

This is an illusion, and because the area is so large, the laws are not perfect.

As a result, the space environment has little impact on itself.

Just as Lin Feng was wondering why he was at this moment, a meteorite the size of a tall building appeared not far ahead, floating towards him at a constant speed.

As it approached, its size became larger and larger, until it was dozens of kilometers away from Lin Feng, and then he could see the gray-black object clearly...

It wasn't a meteorite at all, but a giant, long Zerg!
It is as large as thirty or forty kilometers!
It is equivalent to the entire killing mood that Shen Jie is in.

The giant insect that was flying towards him slowly stopped a few kilometers in front of him.

He looked up at the gigantic insect.

Lin Feng suddenly remembered that when he first entered the Zerg's spiritual world, he observed all the cosmic life in the Zerg's outer space through that high-level intelligent Zerg...

Among them there was one that looked very similar to it.

At the same time, as Lin Feng looked up, a thought automatically emerged in his mind:
"Sixth-order peak spine king, secondary insect god..."
