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

Chapter 187 Liu Yueqi, Lin Feng's knife, completes the operation

"As long as you are alive, you have to look forward."

Seeing that Liu Yueqi did not respond, Lin Feng continued:

"This disaster has taken too many lives and will continue to take more lives, but I hope I can still see you on the day of final victory."

The girl lowered her head, tears falling like raindrops. Lin Feng took off his armor and held her in his arms.

Liu Yueqi's experience was actually more painful than those survivors whose relatives died at the hands of the Zerg.

From the moment she lost control of the situation and brought Zhang Xuan into the house, tragedy was doomed to happen.

After a long time, the girl, who had vented her emotions, slowly pushed Lin Feng away, then took off the sword from her waist and handed it over.

Lin Feng was stunned, not knowing the other party's intention.

Liu Yueqi took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at Lin Feng. The sadness in the red eyes on her face gradually faded away, and was replaced by a cold and hard strength.

Facing Lin Feng's gaze, the girl spoke calmly:
"Now this is all I have left. This is the meaning of my existence..."

"Let me become the knife in your hand..."

"Just like it was before."

Lin Feng slowly took over the Thousand Slash Knife, and a more detailed appraisal immediately appeared in front of his eyes:
"Thousand Slashing Sword lv10/19, red quality"

"Upgrade points 12/10, durability 7, damage 100, status defective"

"Additional attributes: Thousand Slashing Blades, Sword Energy Nourishment"

「Thousand Slashes: 11451/400 (Each time you swing the sword, you can store 1 point of damage, and the next time you attack, you will generate 400 points of double critical damage)
Sword Energy Nourishment: After the holder's special energy is infused into the blade, it can recover a certain durability when not in use.

「Note: Durability can be restored directly after upgrading」

Lin Feng then upgraded the Thousand Cutting Sword.

The next second, a red light appeared on the Thousand Slash Blade and quickly penetrated into it, completing the upgrade:

"Thousand Slashing Sword lv11/19, red quality"

"Upgrade points 2/10, durability 10, damage 110, perfect condition"

"Additional attributes: Thousand Cutting Blades (11451/440), Sword Energy Nourishment"

The Thousand Cutting Sword, which had many notches on its blade, looks brand new after the upgrade. The sharpness of the blade tip is even at the micron level, which is extremely sharp.

Combined with Liu Yueqi's molecular cutting ability, the blade sharpness can directly reach one thousandth of a micron, which is nanometer level!

The size of an atom is about one tenth of a nanometer.

In this way, the chemical bonds between molecules at the microscopic level can be easily cut.

Unless the matter can be compressed to the point where the bonds between atoms disappear, the electrons break away from the nuclei, and the Coulomb force between atoms is overcome, reaching an extremely compact state.

Otherwise, no hard armor can stop Liu Yueqi's molecular cutting!
And this kind of dense matter is definitely not something that can be stably controlled by life on planets below the fourth level.

With the help of Molecular Slash, as long as the strength of the weapon itself can withstand the impact brought by the superpowers and the wear and tear caused by swinging the sword, Liu Yueqi can definitely defeat the third-level Zerg and other life forms below the fourth level.

But to achieve such a powerful force, without Lin Feng's help, it would be difficult for Liu Yueqi to grow to the point of being invincible in close combat.

After completing the upgrade, Lin Feng admired the Thousand Cutting Blade and returned it.

Liu Yueqi took the scabbard, grasped the handle, and pulled out the brand new blade. The black and red flowing cloud patterns extended downward from both sides of the back of the blade, which was extremely exquisite.

Because of the use of superpowers in previous battles, the worn edge of the blade has been repaired to its original state and has even become sharper.

Lin Feng spoke calmly:
"The superpower you awakened can enchant the melee weapon you touch, increasing its sharpness, but it will also cause double wear on the weapon."

"I call it molecular cutting, which means it is a powerful ability that can cut molecules. Even the extremely hard jaws on the mouth of a second-level tiger spine worm can be easily cut."

"With the current strength of the Thousand Slash Blade, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary first-level black-spine insects, so don't release your ability at will unless it is absolutely necessary."

"This will be your biggest trump card."

"The second is the properties of the Thousand Slash Blade. Every time you swing the blade to practice, the damage can be accumulated and explode into a super critical hit that is four times the basic damage. Currently, you can easily kill a black-spine worm with one strike."

"You can use it to deal with the second-stage early tiger spine worm, but your own physical strength is a bit unable to keep up with it."

"But it doesn't matter. Once you reach the front line, where there are swarms of Zerg everywhere, I think you will be promoted to a powerful second-level awakener in a few days."

"I hope that by then, you can become the sharpest knife in my hand and cut off all enemies."

After giving the instructions, Lin Feng patted Liu Yueqi on the shoulder, walked to the jeep that was driven over, threw the electromagnetic cannon and chainsaw sword loaded on the back into the back seat, then sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

"Do you want to stay here and pack your luggage and go with Han Yuxin, or do you want to leave with me now?"

Lin Feng rolled down the car window and looked at the stunned girl.

Liu Yueqi turned around, took one last look at the granary, and then sat in the passenger seat without looking back.

After bidding farewell to Han Yuxin who was commanding her subordinates and auxiliary troops, Lin Feng and the other man set off on their journey home.

Along the way, we could see many soldiers using agricultural machinery to harvest the rice that had already matured in the fields.

The joy of harvest is reflected in everyone's smile.

Lin Feng felt much better and asked:
"How far north did the Zerg appear?"

Liu Yueqi's upgraded insecticide was completed in the northern part of Jincheng, where there were several Zerg queens that landed from the north and south of the Yangtze River.

Because they did not encounter any significant blockade or resistance, they continued to advance smoothly at the pace of three kilometers a day.

Two months have passed since then, and the sphere of influence should have expanded to an area 200 kilometers inland.

It’s probably only a dozen kilometers away from Jincheng.

Maybe it has already touched the edge of the North District.

Liu Yueqi thought about it carefully:

"I encountered some patrols of black-backed insects in the suburbs of Tianchangcheng, ten kilometers to the north."

"There seems to be a lake over there, and a lot of insect swarms have taken root there."

"But they don't seem to be from the same Zerg race. Sometimes you'll see two pairs of black-spine insects fighting each other. That's why I was able to find a bargain..."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.

There are two large lakes on the tributaries of the major rivers in the north, namely Gaoyou Lake and Jinhu Lake, which are approximately one-fourth and one-third the size of Taihu Lake.

Although the biomass resources such as fisheries there are not as abundant as those in Taihu Lake, they are enough for a Zerg queen to enter the middle stage of the third stage.

Moreover, Lin Feng was unable to prevent or intervene in this matter in advance. After all, just dealing with the Queen Mother of Haicheng was already stressful and taxing enough for him, and he really did not have the extra energy to fight on three fronts.

Therefore, after the victory in the decisive battle of Wucheng, even if the 13th Division successfully defeated the Queen Mother of Haicheng, they could only retreat to Jincheng first to avoid being sandwiched from the front and back by the Zerg coming from the north and the other mid-stage third-stage Queen Mother.

But he couldn't stay in Jincheng for long.

Jiangnan Province has numerous water systems and rich biomass resources, and at least three or four third-stage mid-stage queens will be born.

Lin Feng alone would not be able to compete with such a lineup, even with the Zerg traitor Long Yi.

During the three leaps from the junior, middle and late stages of the third stage, strength increases exponentially.

After Lin Feng killed the Queen Mother and entered the early stage of the third stage, the various attributes of lv30 were only over one thousand. In the middle stage of the third stage, even if it was only lv24, the various attributes were at least over four thousand, and even close to five thousand.

The gap between the two is four times, even if Lin Feng has three pieces of gold-quality equipment, it is difficult to compete with it.

Therefore, after the Wucheng battle, the combat soldiers and auxiliary soldiers under his command can rest for a while, but Lin Feng himself and the second-level legion must immediately go to the north of Jiangnan Province to investigate whether the high-level mother queen there has entered the middle stage of the third level. If not, she must be killed in advance to prevent future troubles!
By then, Liu Yueqi will become the second reserve personnel to enter the third level and a strong opponent of Shen Jie.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Feng wanted to recruit her.

Use Liu Yi to stabilize the internal situation of the second-level legion, and then rely on Liu Yueqi and Shen Jie to compete with each other and balance the top combat power.

In order to prevent Shen Jie from losing control when Lin Feng is away, no one can stop him.

"Okay, after the Wucheng battle is over, we will go to the north and eliminate some of the Zerg there to stop their expansion."

Lin Feng spoke lightly, drove across the river bridge and entered the center of Jincheng City.

"Do you want to rest in the base for a while, or come with me to the Biological Research Institute, where they are performing surgical transformation of genetic warriors." Liu Yueqi, who was leaning against the window, showed a hint of confusion:
"What are Gene Warriors? A biological program of the Federation?"

Lin Feng explained the whole story, and Liu Yueqi immediately became interested:

"Then can I also undergo this operation and become a powerful genetic warrior?"

Lin Feng shook his head and introduced the advantages and disadvantages of the genetic warriors, focusing on describing its terrible side effects, the damage to the human body, and the impact on brain rationality.

Especially for girls, it is not suitable to turn into a bald insect monster with armor...

Liu Yueqi's eyes showed a slight chill, especially when Lin Feng mentioned Zhang Liying's condition:

"Forget it. With such serious flaws, why put so many second-level awakeners into it?"

In her opinion, second-level awakeners are all superhuman beings who can dominate an area. Before Lin Feng came, he could definitely sweep the entire Jincheng City by himself.

But now Lin Feng wants to transform these more than seventy second-level awakeners into half-human, half-insect monsters to fight against the Zerg invasion.

Isn't it a bit like a waste of talent?

Lin Feng shook his head again, his tone low:

"No, they all volunteered. Although becoming a genetic warrior will shorten their lifespan and cause many sequelae in the future, at the moment, their strength will increase exponentially, enough to complete the cross-level challenge!"

"Especially when dealing with the new second-order Zerg, ordinary second-order awakeners of humans are simply not enough."

"But a fully armed gene warrior can completely deal with several second-level Zergs at the same time, and the survival rate on the battlefield will be greatly improved."

"So even if I asked them to apply voluntarily, nearly half of the second-level legion members would still choose to become a powerful gene warrior to ensure their survival in the present."

Liu Yueqi said in surprise:

"Half? Do you have more than 150 second-level awakeners under your command!?"

Lin Feng smiled:
"Of course. Otherwise, what can I use to defend Wucheng and fight the decisive battle?"

Liu Yueqi took a deep breath, and the shock on her face gradually turned into determination:

"Let's go, I want to know how powerful a second-level gene warrior can be!"

Lin Feng then turned the steering wheel and drove west.

After driving around for more than half an hour, we finally arrived at the Laoshan Institute of Biology under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Lin Feng brought the girl to the experimental building.

Under the supervision of Longyi, the afternoon surgeries were carried out much faster, one round faster than expected. At this moment, gene gland implants were being performed on the seventh batch of patients.

There are only two late-stage second-level perfect regiment leaders left.

When Lin Feng entered the operating room, he saw Long Yi and Ling Shuyan discussing how to proceed with the operations of the last two regiment leaders.

The late second stage is complete, with both physical and mental attributes above 900. At this stage, if you want to implant the gene gland, it will most likely be difficult to assimilate successfully.

After all, the strength of their own immune system is almost as high as that of the specialized cells released by the gene glands.

The rejection reaction to the gene gland is also stronger.

Hearing the discussion between the two, Lin Feng frowned slightly.

In fact, what he was worried about was whether the Zerg gene would activate the spinal worm's artistic conception trial for the two captains after the gland was implanted.

After all, there is Shen Jie in front, and Ling Yi also said that after being promoted to the peak of the second stage, tiger spine worms, warrior hunting worms and gene warriors, as long as they have spine worm genes in their bodies, will have a certain chance to start the artistic conception trial...

Receive gifts from the Spine King and even the Spine God.

But for orthodox tiger-backed worms, they may have to first return to the deepest end of the earth to make up for the deficiencies in their spiritual attributes, and then actively start the inheritance trial in a clustered manner.

As for hybrid species such as warrior hunters and gene warriors, they will generally only passively stimulate the latent artistic conception in their genes and pull their consciousness into the trial when they feel the threat of death after experiencing a great war.

For example, Shen Jie’s accident.

As warrior hunter insects and gene warriors are new species resulting from genetic fusion, their success rate when faced with artistic conception trials is almost zero.

Only a very few can defeat the king worm in the artistic conception and master the inherited artistic conception.

Most of them will die in the trials.

This is also a defense mechanism set up in advance by the cosmic race to protect its own genetic heritage and prevent it from being stolen and used by other races.

Without mastering the artistic conception, it is impossible to enter the fourth level.

Therefore, Lin Feng was worried about these two second-level perfect captains. If they fell into a dangerous situation during the operation, would they accidentally start the state of mind trial?

Having just integrated the Zerg genes, their mental state is definitely much worse than Shen Jie's, and there are no special conditions nearby for the second-level Zerg eggs to be taken at will.

Lin Feng and Long Yi were not even sure they could rescue the two people who were trapped in the situation.

In order to ensure the safety of the experiment, Lin Feng called Long Yi and asked him about this matter in a low voice.

Regarding this point, Lingyi gave a positive answer:

"Don't worry. They just finished the surgery. The degree of integration with the Zerg genes is still very low. They can't reach the close integration level to open the inheritance of artistic conception."

"At most, the flesh around the zygote will be distorted under the influence of the artistic conception, breaking free from the control of the original owner's brain and turning into a mass of living flesh that reproduces madly, just like cancer cells."

Lin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth. From what Long said, it sounded like the situation was even more terrifying than opening the state of mind.

But as long as the artistic conception trial is not triggered here, everything will be fine.

"Have you explained the situation to them?"

Lin Feng continued to ask.

The scorpion nodded slightly:
"The two captains still insisted on giving it a try. After all, seeing their team members being able to instantly burst out with the strength of the middle stage of the second stage after completing the transformation, this temptation is too great."

Lin Feng sighed:
"Okay, then you try your best..."

Ling Yi glanced at Ling Shuyan behind Lin Feng:

"A late-stage, perfect awakener of the second order is almost as powerful as me, but I cannot control him remotely. I must have direct physical contact to control the assimilation process."

"Director Ling has decided to personally perform the last two surgeries and complete all the reconstruction surgeries before tonight."

Lin Feng frowned:
"She doesn't want you to get involved? It's okay, I just need to tell you."

He then found Ling Shuyan, and on the pretext of guaranteeing her, he allowed Long Yi to enter the operating room as an assistant to help Ling Shuyan.

With Lin Feng's guarantee, Ling Shuyan didn't have to worry about the consequences, so she breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking it over, she agreed.

At this time, the seventh batch of transformation operations were successfully completed one after another.

Ling Shuyan ordered her subordinates to notify a late-stage second-order perfect regiment leader to enter the operating room.

Then, he changed into a blue-green sterilized sealing suit and took on the final challenge.

Fortunately, with the help of Long Yi, the whole process was under supervision, and the two operations were finally completed without any major problems.

However, Ling Shuyan began to have doubts in her heart, and when she looked at Long Yi again, there was obviously something different in her eyes.

Because during the operation, the other party's several reminders were so timely and crucial, just like a humanoid automatic scanner, monitoring the operator's physical condition clearly.

Ling Shuyan suspected that Longyi's superpowers were not what she called mental control at all. If it was physical control, it would be more appropriate.

But no matter how confused you are, you can't directly question the other person's privacy in front of everyone.

After the operation, Lin Feng took the shocked Liu Yueqi, who had remained silent throughout the whole process, to find Ling Shuyan:
"Director Ling, I want to know how many of the experimental subjects sent here before are still alive?"

Ling Shuyan narrowed her eyes and looked at the girl following behind Lin Feng. She felt a distinct aura from her, like a sharp knife.

"There are still some. A few guys with good endurance and willpower. What? Want to take her to see the world?"

Lin Feng nodded and patted Liu Yueqi on the shoulder:

"My subordinates may have some blood feud with them..."

“You need to do it yourself to understand.”
