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

Chapter 221: Integrating into the Orange Membrane Wings, Glimpse of the Fourth Order Life

As Lin Feng and Shen Jie jumped into the sky ten thousand meters high under the moonlight one after another, an unknown battle was about to take place.

This is the stratosphere area with stable airflow, and it is also where most aircraft make long-distance flights. The air is extremely clean and transparent, like a quiet paradise.

And under my feet are thick gray-white clouds.

At this time, more than ten kilometers away, three wind-wing insects were flying at a speed of Mach 1 towards the direction of the descending transport aircraft formation.

They are very fast, and their normal cruising speed can reach Mach 1, which directly exceeds the downward dive speed of a first-order green-winged insect.

When running at full power, it can reach Mach 2 or even faster.

This is almost the same as the data of advanced human jet fighters.

However, the maneuverability of Zerg flying units far exceeds that of human mechanical bodies.

Faced with the aggressive patrol group of wind-wing insects, Lin Feng relied on his enhanced telepathic skills after the cross-level upgrade to continuously detect their locations within a radius of 20 kilometers.

This will allow us to infer more flight data of the wind-wing insect and provide intelligence for the formulation of hunting plans.

With its supersonic flight, the wind-wing insects can quickly approach a group of transport aircraft within a minute.

Because of the interference of the plane's wake, Lin Feng and Shen Jie took more than ten seconds to steady themselves, spread their wings and fly back to the stratosphere above the troposphere.

They only have forty seconds left.

A countermeasure must be formulated as soon as possible!

Lin Feng made a prompt decision and called Shen Jie:

"Use the electromagnetic cannon to block the entire airspace and cover the smooth landing of the transport plane formation!"

The latter nodded, waved the pair of membranous wings that grew on his back, and dived into the troposphere under his feet, using the thick cumulus clouds to cover his body, intending to continue using the method he used last time to ambush the second-order wind-wing insect at low altitude.

The transport aircraft formation is still about a hundred kilometers away from the front-line military base and can land safely in ten minutes.

Lin Feng was not sure whether the air defense force in the base could lock onto the wind-wing insects a hundred kilometers away, but he had to prepare a response plan in advance to prevent any accidents.

At the same time, this was also his first time to face off against a second-order wind-winged insect.

Even though Lin Feng has entered the third stage and can use the dimensionality reduction attack of the big bullying the small, he did not take it lightly.

If they only wanted to stop the Wind Wing Insect Squad, the level 29 electromagnetic cannon in Shen Jie's hand would be enough to pose a serious threat to the Wind Wing Insect Squad.

Because the magnetic storm bomb spreads damage, it can cover an area of ​​one kilometer in diameter.

Forming a huge spherical electric shock field.

Thereby greatly improving the hit rate.

As the saying goes, if you don't have accuracy, you make up for it with firepower.

Although the magnetic bomb is fatal except for a few square meters of the explosion center, the spread damage will gradually decrease with distance, from one thousand to dozens. Even a first-level black-spine worm can barely withstand it without dying.

However, electric shock has a strong interference and paralysis effect on the high-speed moving second-order wind-wing insects.

When the electric current paralyzes the insect body, it interferes with the normal electrical signals of the nervous system, causing the insect to become weak all over and its membranous wings to flap at high frequency, suddenly shutting down and stopping working.

By then, due to its body structure, the wind-wing insects will not even be able to glide to land, and can only fall straight down under the pull of the planet's gravity.

Therefore, the electromagnetic gun is also very good as a close-range air defense weapon.

However, the flying maneuverability of the second-order wind-wing insect should not be underestimated.

Especially when the two sides were engaging in an air-to-air dogfight, the performance gap brought by the second-stage orange membrane wings forced both Lin Feng and Shen Jie to deal with it with caution.

At this time, Shen Jie, under Lin Feng's reminder, ambushed inside the cloud in advance, preparing to ambush the wind wing insects with electromagnetic cannons and catch them off guard...

Lin Feng took the initiative to act as bait.

He concealed his own breath, then raised the ion laser cannon in his hand, aimed at the direction of the wind-wing insects, and aimed randomly.

The effective killing range of the short-frequency instantaneous laser cannon is within ten kilometers, and the Wind Wing Insect Squad has already entered it.

As the high-energy ion beam hit, it passed through the body of the second-order wind-wing insect. The golden laser cannon in Lin Feng's hand shone in the moonlight, like a bright lamp in the dark night, and immediately attracted the wind-wing insect that was planning to harass the transport plane.

Unlike the Zerg on the ground that can only move left and right, the Zerg in the air can avoid human aiming and locking through highly maneuverable irregular teleportation in four directions: up, down, left and right.

It's not easy to hit them from a long distance.

In particular, the longer the attack distance, the smaller the size of the target will be. A ten-meter-tall object can still be distinguished by the naked eye at a distance of one kilometer, but at a distance of several kilometers, it will only turn into a tiny black dot.

As a third-order life form, Lin Feng possesses super sensory organs, and the ultimate tracking and locking ability of the naked eye reaches an astonishing five kilometers. But even so, it is still very difficult to hit a high-speed moving target several kilometers away.

Plus telepathy, it's not a tracking radar and can only detect the approximate location of the target.

At this moment, he fired more than a dozen short-frequency laser cannons in a row, trying to destroy the second-order wind-wing insects that were only the size of black dots and kept teleporting under the cover of night.

But the final effect of the attack was not ideal.

A few shots luckily hit the limbs of the wind-wing insects, causing only small local high-temperature burns, and did not affect the rhythm of their attacks.

When the two were only three or four kilometers apart, the wind-wing insect suddenly increased its speed, from the previous normal speed of sound to more than Mach 2 in an instant.

They have entered attack mode!
It can move 700 to 800 meters in one second. At such a high speed, it only needs to raise the flat claws on both sides of its abdomen and cut through the enemy like a blade...

Even if Lin Feng was wearing the Flying Tiger Armor, his armor would be instantly shattered and he would suffer serious injuries under such a strong impact.

There are only four or five seconds left before the attack comes!

But the latter found the right moment and switched the ion laser cannon back to the electromagnetic cannon. At the same time, he cooperated with Shen Jie who had ambushed in the clouds in advance, and fired multiple magnetic storm bombs in the direction where several wind-wing insects were attacking.

A magnetic storm ball the size of a football flew out of the muzzle.

It flashes with dazzling bluish-white light and contains the purest ionic plasma.

When it was flying in the air two or three kilometers away, the magnetic storm ball expanded to the limit of what it could contain, and when its diameter reached more than one meter, it instantly exploded, turning into a strong electric current shock wave.

Forming a spherical magnetic storm zone with a radius of one kilometer!

Because of the silent nature of the magnetic storm bomb, the wind-wing insect had no time to react and crashed directly into the magnetic storm area, where it was immediately electrocuted with hundreds of volts!
Although this is not fatal, it can cause paralysis of the nervous system, causing the membranous wings on the back, which flap hundreds of times per second, to become stagnant and shut down.

Without the upward momentum provided by flapping wings, the wind-wing insect falls downward like a kite with a broken string.

But Lin Feng knew that they were not dead. As long as the paralysis of their limbs during the fall was relieved, they would start flapping their membranous wings again driven by the instinct for survival.

So he escaped before falling to the ground.

So Lin Feng didn't hesitate at all, and called Shen Jie to dive down with him to chase the three wind-wing insects.

At the same time, he used the ion laser cannon in his hand to accurately lock onto the falling insect bodies, bombarding their tails, abdomens and torsos to complete the harvest.

But his ultimate goal goes far beyond that!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to seduce and ambush!

With his extremely fast reaction speed and powerful perception, Lin Feng was the first to grab one of the falling wind-wing insects, tear off its pair of orange-quality second-order membranous wings, and then used particles to control the artistic conception and integrated it into the Flying Tiger Armor.

Then he quickly rushed towards the second one.

During the process, it was successfully intercepted and the orange second-order membranous wings on its back were plucked off.

And with Shen Jie's efforts, the last one was successfully intercepted before it fell to its death, avoiding being smashed into pulp from a height of 10,000 meters like the remaining windwing insect corpses. In that case, it would be impossible to extract the precious materials.

At this moment, the membrane wings of the Flying Tiger Armor have been integrated and upgraded. The new flight mode not only has the super maneuverability of the wind-wing insect, but also can continue to fly for more than an hour. At least there is no need to worry about the endurance problem caused by heat overload.

The two slowly descended to the surface.

Lin Feng handed the remaining pair of second-order membrane wings to Shen Jie:

"After you absorb them, remember to bring them back to the base. I'll go and escort the transport planes to a safe landing!"

The magnetic storm area that had just been artificially formed spread a dazzling blue light in the sky, which could be felt within a radius of at least two to three hundred kilometers, and would soon attract more wind-wing insects to come and check it out.

It will take at least six or seven minutes for the transport plane formation to land at the base.

So the crisis has not been resolved yet.

Taking the folded membrane wings that were more than ten meters long and still stained with the blood and flesh of the wind-winged insect, Shen Jie nodded and looked at the flashing signal lights of the transport aircraft in the sky:

"Understood, Brother Feng."

"I'll catch up with them!"

Lin Feng nodded, then flew into the sky.

His speed of upgrading and modifying equipment is several times faster than Shen Jie's swallowing and assimilation, so he can directly engage in combat in the stratosphere at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

If Shen Jie used the performance of the blue-winged insect's membranous wings, he would have to fly for at least several minutes to reach an altitude of ten thousand meters. He could only ambush and it would be difficult for him to jump into the stratosphere for a head-on battle.

This is also the reason why Lin Feng did not let the second-level regiment join the battle with electromagnetic cannons.

In the case of overflowing firepower, the more people there are, the easier it is to expose the ambush. Moreover, the strength of the other members of the regiment is not as strong as Shen Jie, who has reached the peak of the second level.

Ten seconds later, Lin Feng had returned to an altitude of ten thousand meters at a speed of Mach two.

Then follow closely behind the transport aircraft group and remain alert at all times.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the transport planes, which were constantly descending in altitude, had already landed at 5,000 meters above the ground. The distance to the landing air force base was only 40 kilometers away.

Lin Feng remained in a hovering position, on guard to prevent any swarm of wind-wing insects from appearing nearby and attempting to launch a sneak attack.

Although some wind-wing insects were seen trying to explore the edge of telepathy, most of them just confirmed that there were no enemy aircraft in the stratosphere and then turned around and left.

They did not go forward to attack, and were about to arrive at a transport plane formation near the air base.

Either the blockade order issued by the high-level queen did not cover the defenders' base, or the base's air defense force was able to shoot down the Zerg flying at an altitude of four or five thousand meters.

In short, after about ten minutes, when the transport plane formations landed one after another and Lin Fengjian found nothing happened, he prepared to return to the surface and reunite with everyone.

At this moment, he suddenly looked up at the starry sky above his head.

I saw a bright moon hanging in the southeast.

Above is the secret of his life that he most wants to know.

Perhaps he could borrow the Federation's moon rocket and fly to the moon before reaching the fourth level to solve all the mysteries.

In an instant, Lin Feng's mind suddenly had the urge to continue flying upwards.

He wanted to confirm whether the Zerg had occupied the outer atmosphere of the Blue Planet.

In the Queen Mother’s sealed genetic memory, I had seen the Zerg’s highly advanced biotechnology, including biological warships that could fly into space.

Perhaps at this moment they are hovering in satellite orbit, observing the expansion and invasion of high-level queens around the world.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng flapped the Erjue membranous wings behind him and began to fly upwards.

As the distance from the ground increased, from more than ten kilometers to more than forty kilometers, the temperature nearby dropped by more than ten degrees, and the middle layer of the atmosphere with thin air was dark and boundless.

The air density here is too low to provide sufficient lift.

Unless a special jet engine is used, it is impossible to get up there relying solely on the lifting force of the flapping wing structure.

It seems that the flapping wing structure of the Zerg also has defects and is only suitable for altitudes below 40 kilometers above the ground.

If we can fly up to the warm layer at an altitude of 80 kilometers and cross the Karman line at an altitude of 100 kilometers, we will be able to leave the atmosphere and officially enter outer space.

Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the azure blue circle of light on the distant skyline with a little regret.

You can even see the afterglow of the sun behind you.

The alternation of sun and moon is just around the corner.

It was the first time I saw with my own eyes the magnificent scenery in the sky, and an indescribable wonderful feeling came to my heart at that moment.

This is completely different from the starry sky seen from the ground.

The moon is no longer a jade plate, but a giant celestial body that reflects sunlight. There are too many unknown secrets hidden on its dark back side, just like the myriad worlds represented by countless stars in the brilliant starry sky above our heads.

There is no Zerg fleet as Lin Feng guessed, only a quiet and silent galaxy.

If one cannot be promoted to the fourth level and become a cosmic life, he will be trapped on the planet for his entire life and can only look at the vast galaxy and sigh in despair.

For the first time, Lin Feng felt the motivation to advance to the fourth level. In addition to saving himself and human civilization, he also felt an urgency to travel to this world and witness the real universe.

Perhaps over the past 10 billion years, countless races have evolved to the third stage...

They are all working hard to explore the path to advancement to the fourth-order cosmic life form with the goal of traveling in the universe!

Just as Lin Feng was filled with infinite emotion...

Suddenly, within his field of vision, a dark figure appeared above his head in the distance, directly covering half of the moon.

The mysterious figure was more than ten kilometers wide and oval in shape. Its thickness could not be seen clearly. At the edge of the shadow, there was an unidentified silver mechanical body that was two kilometers long.

The silver mechanical body refracted the moonlight, and energy fluctuations were heard from time to time. Lin Feng estimated that it should be a large interstellar battleship...

So the identity of the giant black shadow that is more than ten kilometers wide...

It’s already obvious!
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, a long series of red warnings appeared in his eyes:
"Unknown fourth-order life form detected!"

"Warning: Please get away from this place as soon as possible!"

"Warning: Please get away from this place as soon as possible!!"

"Warning: Please get away from this place as soon as possible!!!"

Because his vision was blocked, Lin Feng blinked and cancelled the warning that flashed in the upgrade system...

But when the red words disappeared from his eyes, when he looked again, the giant black shadow that was floating hundreds of kilometers away disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye within 0.1 seconds!
At this moment, an inexplicable sense of fear and a strong sense of crisis surged into Lin Feng's heart!
He seemed to be locked in place by some invisible spiritual energy, unable to move.

Just like being enveloped by the Hive Will Domain...

It was not until this sense of crisis activated the artistic conception and artistic conception-derived skills such as particle control, genetic radiation, and killing frenzy that Lin Feng broke free from the confinement!

Then he dived towards the ground without looking back!
While escaping, Lin Feng had a strong premonition that if he looked back again, he would be killed by that terrifying and unknown fourth-order life form...

Swallow it directly!

At this moment, relying on the upgraded flight mode and the blessing of Blue Planet's gravity, Lin Feng's speed soared to four times the speed of sound!
Escape straight to the surface at a maximum speed of 1,300 meters per second!

The Dragon Clan’s Meteor-class battleship is on stage!
