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

Chapter 205: Deal, Ambition, and the Beginning
The team moved very quickly, and Han Yuxin, who had been notified earlier, also sent a large number of convoys to provide support in advance.

As they passed by Tin City, they could see from afar the huge crater left by the nuclear explosion and the devastating damage caused by the fierce fighting nearby.

The urban area within a one-kilometer radius around the subway transfer station was completely razed to the ground and turned into ruins.

Such horrific battlefield remains are shocking. It is hard to imagine how fierce the battle was at that time.

As the decapitation plan surfaced, most of the soldiers who remained in Wucheng gradually learned the truth behind it.

Understand what a dangerous yet great thing their leader is doing!

In the suburbs of Xicheng, Lin Feng led thirty second-level combatants and three hundred elite combatants...

Directly fight against the Zerg Queen!

And successfully killed it!

After hearing that the team members who followed Lin Feng had already transported the huge queen insect corpse to Jincheng City, everyone couldn't help but speed up their progress, as they all wanted to take a look.

After all, this is the legendary high-level Zerg, the third-level Zerg Queen, the culprit of the invasion of the Blue Planet, and the most powerful enemy of mankind!
Except for a very few lucky people, few people have ever seen the true body of the Zerg Queen hidden deep underground!
At the end of the team, in the second-tier legion, Liu Yi was talking to those members of the regiment who were not selected, as well as the newly recruited second-tier soldiers...

While pointing at the battlefield ruins in the distance, he described in vivid detail that earth-shaking battle.

Shen Jie standing aside showed a hint of regret.

This opportunity to directly confront a high-level queen mother is extremely precious, and you can benefit greatly even if you stay far away.

Now he has passed the Zerg state of mind trial and reached the peak of the second level. The only way to go forward is to kill third-level life forms and advance to the third level.

Originally, this plan also included his role as a distraction, but unfortunately he was restrained by the Queen Mother of Haicheng using the Warrior Hunting Insect. At the same time, the Queen Mother also personally took action and released various mental attacks, making it impossible for Shen Jie to escape in a short period of time.

However, according to Lin Feng's subsequent arrangements, Shen Jie still has the opportunity to participate in such cross-level battles and decapitation operations.

The team of up to 4,000 people marched through Xicheng in a mighty manner, and then walked through the suburbs of Changcheng. At sunset at five o'clock in the afternoon, they successfully arrived at the outskirts of Jincheng.

It took five hours to cover nearly 200 kilometers, which was not a fast pace.

As the sun sets, the sunset glow shines through the city area with tall buildings and shines on everyone's faces.

Soon, a small hill more than 50 meters high appeared on the square in front of the team. A group of armored soldiers with live ammunition were guarding nearby.

Lin Feng sent out three hundred soldiers. In addition to those who killed the second-level tiger-spine worms and completed their awakening, the remaining two hundred and seventy-something, under the command of Liu Yi, were responsible for guarding the body of the Zerg Queen.

Not far away in the urban center of Jincheng, Han Yuxin and others who had received the news had led the base managers to welcome the arrival of the 13th Division.

The campsite and facilities originally arranged for them were located in a high-end villa community on the edge of the city.

But at Li Ran's suggestion, they changed to the university town area in the northeast of Jincheng.

It has dormitories, meeting halls, and canteens, and there is also a large playground for training and preparation, rapid assembly, and so on.

The combat soldiers and the second-level legion had no objection to this. After all, the so-called rich area had been completely cleared out long ago, and there might not even bedding left. Moreover, the place was too large, making it inconvenient for communication and exchange.

After settling all the combat personnel temporarily, Lin Feng brought Chen Yanyan to the upper floors of the hotel located by the river late at night.

Here, Han Yuxin, Betty and Chen Yanyan had their first private meeting.

Mainly Chen Yanyan and Betty. The former missed the celebration dinner that day because she happened to be awakening for the first time when the Wucheng defense line was being built.

Accompanying Lin Feng was Han Yuxin.

As the highest representatives of Lin Feng, one in martial arts and the other in literature, Chen Yanyan and Betty actually do not have much conflict of interest. After introducing themselves to each other in the company of Lin Feng, the four of them quickly entered into the main discussion.

It mainly concerns the establishment of temporary bases, as well as issues such as order management and material distribution.

Betty looked solemn. According to the survey statistics after taking over these days, the situation was not optimistic, so she spoke directly:

"There are more than 160,000 survivors in the city, more than 80% of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled. There are less than 20,000 young men of military age, and only 10,000 are willing to join the auxiliary forces."

"If the combat soldier system continues to expand, it will be equivalent to ten ordinary people supporting one soldier. This ratio is actually very exaggerated."

"And I've calculated that the food consumption of a first-level awakener is about three to four times that of an ordinary person, and the second-level awakener is even more exaggerated, basically more than five or six times."

"So the ratio is actually ten to five, similar to two farmers supporting one unemployed soldier."

"The key is that we don't have many projects that can be produced at present. Fishing is not a long-term solution. If we continue to fish like this, the catch will only get less and less..."

"As for the summer rice being harvested in the northern suburbs of the city, even if all the survivors were mobilized, only about 50,000 tons could be harvested in the next few days. The monsoon will arrive the day after tomorrow, and the grains in the flooded rice fields after the heavy rain will surely sprout or rot and become moldy."

"We can eventually harvest about 60,000 tons. This number sounds large, but based on the above data, we actually need to feed about 150,000 people."

"According to the daily consumption of each person working, one kilogram of rice is needed..."

Although one kilogram of rice sounds a bit exaggerated, facing the puzzled looks from everyone, Betty quickly gave a reasonable explanation:
"If you only eat rice but no meat, you will feel hungry without any oil or water! Especially the physical labor of building fortifications, as well as the daily training of auxiliary soldiers and combat soldiers, going to the edge of the Zerg territory to kill red beetles, etc...."

"Rice and salted fish, one person can eat three bowls of rice in one meal, at least six bowls in three meals. So one kilogram per person per day, 150,000 is 150 tons of rice, 60,000 tons is only enough for 400 days."

"This is just an estimate based on paper data. It is impossible to eat only rice. Even if there is no meat, we need to organize people over 60 years old to grow some vegetables to ensure the long-term intake of vitamins and other trace elements."

"So to sum up, the current situation is very serious. If we want to support an army of 10,000 awakened people when we are penniless, and rely on only 100,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people at the bottom..."

“It’s very difficult, very difficult!”

After listening to Betty's future plans for the temporary base and the problems she raised, Lin Feng took a deep breath:

"Food is the most important issue. Fish is the only source of protein right now, and we have to give priority to supplying it to the combat troops."

"Otherwise, eating only white rice cannot meet their protein needs due to their physical growth."

"As for meat, we can raise more chickens if we have nothing else to do, so that the survivors who can move can have something to do."

"We are in the apocalyptic environment right now, and we are the frontline force resisting the Zerg invasion. We are not doing charity, and we have no obligation to take care of them."

"Inform all members that if they want to stay, they must contribute, even if it means raising some chickens, ducks, and geese. Except for children under the age of twelve, all others must participate in the labor."

After saying this, Lin Feng looked at Han Yuxin:

"Have you contacted Hu Fei?"

Han Yuxin nodded and responded:
"I've contacted him. He's even more anxious..."

"There is now a serious disagreement between the temporary committee in the rear and the wartime Supreme Council trapped in the federal capital."

"The former is burdened by the huge logistical supply and hopes to abandon the federal capital, while the latter naturally hopes to hold on. This is the symbol of the federation's existence. Once it is lost, it means the fall of the federation. The exiled parliament has no power to issue orders. The major bases in the safe zone will naturally act on their own, leaving the federation in name only..."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that both sides seem to hold different views on the surface, but in fact, they have been on the verge of a war behind the scenes for a long time."

"The leaders of bases in various places have formed an alliance and are ready to fight or win over the troops withdrawn from the capital. After all, they are the only remaining elite military forces of the Federation."

"But the best way is to arm yourself."

"So, at present, Hu Fei's live insect trade has become so popular that it is hard to get one."

"According to my spy, this guy even wants to do the second-level live insect business. He really doesn't know how to live or die..."

"After I called him this morning, he said that he would arrive in Jincheng with his team early tomorrow morning to discuss this big deal with you in person."

Lin Feng nodded and added:
"Tell him that in addition to weapons, we also need a lot of meat. As long as he can guarantee the meat supply for our base army in the next six months, I can consider selling second-level insect eggs to him." Han Yuxin was stunned. Although the three women present had become second-level awakeners, they all belonged to the core circle around Lin Feng.

And Hu Fei was just an outsider from beginning to end, just a partner.

A second-level insect egg means the birth of a second-level awakener, and the latter's strength is far beyond the reach of a first-level late awakener.

With the strength of a second-level awakener comparable to that of a little Superman, he can directly serve as the leader of a small base, or form a force of tens of thousands of people.

A team of second-order awakeners is enough to break the balance of power in the rear safety zone and set off a bloody struggle for power.

In addition to Han Yuxin, Betty also realized the impact of this move.

But it is no exaggeration to say that any fully armed second-level combat regiment under Lin Feng can directly wipe out the entire rear-area guard force.

For a team that has been fighting hard against the Zerg on the front line, returning to the safe zone will launch a dimensionality reduction attack.

Even if the levels and strengths of both sides are the same, there is still a big gap in actual combat experience and use of abilities.

No matter how strong the flowers grown in the greenhouse are, unless they are strong enough to crush the warriors who have been walking on the brink of life and death for years, they will never be able to defeat them.

Therefore, it is not impossible to trade second-order insect eggs. The key lies in how to maximize the benefits from it!

Lin Feng had previously traded fifteen second-order Zerg eggs with the Federal Research Institute for three miniature nuclear warheads. This was learned by Betty and others after Liu Yi and others retrieved and sent the Zerg Queen's body when they were escorting it.

There has been a precedent for the value measurement of five second-level insect eggs being equal to a nuclear warhead, and it was established by Lin Feng himself.

Therefore, the bottom line price for future transactions must not be lower than this standard.

While Han Yuxin was still thinking about whether this move would cause unrest in the rear, Betty had already spoken out her opinion:

"The value of second-level insect eggs cannot be measured in terms of meat!"

"No amount of food can buy a second-level awakener!"

"Although supplies are tight on the front lines, there is no shortage of food in the rear, especially in the grasslands and pastures in the northwest, which were previously the areas on Blue Star that produced a lot of beef and mutton."

"Even if we use tens of thousands of tons of meat, we cannot exchange them for insect eggs. Doing so will not only lower our own value, but also expose our shortcomings of lacking meat."

Lin Feng smiled:
"Of course. Providing meat is just a qualification for trading. In my opinion, the things that really need to be exchanged are more important than any materials."

Hearing this, the three women showed expectant and puzzled looks. They also wanted to know what else the rear safe zone had to offer besides nuclear bombs.

Lin Feng turned and looked out the window. The rivers were flowing continuously and many fishermen were still fishing at night to get food:
“I think the most important thing is the human heart.”

"There are still 700 to 800 million survivors living in the various safe zones and base cities in the rear. If this force can be united, it can completely resist the Zerg offensive of the third-stage late queen mother!"

"In order to achieve this one day, we need more survivors to join us and let the world know that in the South abandoned by the Union, there is still such a strong team that continues to resist."

"And this team was even able to defeat the Zerg Queen and completely kill and destroy her!"

"Only by spreading the word can we expand the influence of the base city."

As he spoke, Lin Feng looked at Han Yuxin again:

"In addition to meat, let Hu Fei gather all forces that have trading intentions and arrange for newspaper reporters to come together to discuss strategic cooperation."

Chen Yanyan, who had not participated in the discussion, suddenly realized and said:

"So that's why you asked Li Ran and the others to prepare for the grand military parade the day after tomorrow? Do you want to announce to the world our feat of defeating the Zerg?!"

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, but in fact his real purpose was far more than that.

The so-called winning of people's hearts and minds is, in fact, a deeper purpose of making advance preparations for unifying all human forces after gaining a firm foothold in the near future.

As for the ultimate goal of saving the world, it is naturally to make it easier to collect the gene pool of human diversity, so as to smoothly advance to the fourth-level cosmic life.

Therefore, whether it is moral legitimacy or overwhelming strength, a solid foundation must be laid in advance.

Betty, who had the sharpest political sense among the three, reacted quickly and realized that Lin Feng was playing a big game that encompassed the entire human civilization.

So when she looked at the man, she put away her former arrogance and instead revealed a bit of admiration and hope.

After all, being able to reach that position is the first time in the entire human history of Blue Planet that anyone has done so before and will never be repeated.

Lin Feng wants to be the master of mankind and unify all humans!
And he does have the strength to accomplish this great feat!

After discussing the establishment of a temporary base, due to the urgent situation, Lin Feng did not stay overnight, but took Chen Yanyan back to the combat unit’s base in the university town.

At this moment, Li Ran has issued the military parade mission according to Lin Feng's instructions, and asked the grassroots companies of the Combat Corps to start marching in formation on the playground.

In addition to inspection, what Lin Feng had to do when he returned was to deal with the supplies and various biological materials collected from the Wucheng decisive battle.

The lv10 red black armor required for the combined combat forces, and the lv20 black tiger armor required for the second-level legion.

This is not an easy life.

Fortunately, Lin Feng has now upgraded to a higher level and has mastered the state of particle control.

Even though it is not as easy to use as in the spiritual world, it can change the chemical and physical properties of matter remotely.

But at the moment, it is still extremely easy to upgrade directly after touching it.

The most obvious change and optimization is that it was previously necessary to first make the rough shape of the item before it could be scanned and identified for further upgrades...

For example, when Lin Feng first made the Red Shield Armor, he had to spend a lot of time and effort to cut the carapace of the red beetle and use a drilling machine to make a piece of red armor shaped like a turtle's back, which was always troublesome.

At this moment, with the help of the particle control state of mind, a golden light appeared in Lin Feng's eyes, and the giant jaw of the spiny worm that he touched with his hand, after being penetrated by the golden light, the giant jaw suddenly changed its shape and turned into a liquid state that could be kneaded at will, and then directly condensed into a piece of brand new armor!

In this way, not only can wear and tear be greatly reduced and production efficiency be improved, but output can also be increased significantly.

In the second half of the night, everyone who was training on the playground had dispersed and returned to their rooms to rest. Only Lin Feng was sitting next to the lv29 dreadnought, drinking organic nutrient solution to replenish the energy consumed in his body while transforming and upgrading the materials.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to use the orange giant jaws of the second-level tiger spine worm to directly synthesize the tiger tooth chain saw sword, because the internal bearings and power motors cannot be synthesized using biological materials.

Therefore, we can only send the remaining orange jaws to the chainsaw sword factory in the south for polishing.

After doing all this, the sky in the distance gradually brightened. Lin Feng stretched and walked to the square near the camp.

The huge body of the queen mother lay quietly there.

Lin Feng originally planned to wait for Longyi to deal with the Zerg under the command of the Queen Mother Jiangbei, and then come back to study together. After all, with her around, any problem could be answered on the spot.

But now there is nothing to do, so I can take out the golden-quality back bone behind the Queen Mother's head and see if it can be integrated into the Flying Tiger Armor.

It would be better to give the Flying Tiger Armor a qualitative leap!

But when Lin Feng approached, he saw the guard soldier arguing and struggling with several people.

With the help of the gradually brightening sky, I could just about make out the man in the lead, who was wearing a white coat.

A familiar female voice entered my ears...

It seems that Director Ling Shuyan of the Biological Research Institute on the other side of the river can't wait to get in touch with it and study it...

The real controller of the Zerg swarm, the Zerg leader, the third-stage life form, the Queen Mother!
