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

Chapter 246 Synthesis, Federation Visit, Probing and Frankness

After discussing the follow-up plans and strategies with Qin Hu, Lin Feng quickly used particle control to combine the ten tank flame armor backs in the shelter with the armored vehicle.

This is the Federation's newest armored vehicle, or more precisely, a wheeled armored personnel carrier with four pairs of wheels at the front and rear. It is about nine meters long and two and a half meters wide. It has strong off-road capabilities, can climb a 40° slope, and has a maximum speed of ninety kilometers per hour.

It can carry up to 30 people at a time, plus the crew in front, and can quickly deliver 35 soldiers.

The only shortcoming is the armor configuration, which can only defend against 7.62 bullets from a distance of meters. It can resist red beetles or the first-stage early black-spine insects, but it is difficult to withstand the impact of a tide of black-spine insects, let alone the second-stage Zerg.

Therefore, it is usually used to transport supplies and quickly carry combatants from the rear.

Unable to shuttle across the frontline battlefield,
It has many improved models, such as medical vehicles, cooking vehicles and other logistics support vehicles.

One of the vehicles Qin Hu brought this time was a cooking model, which was specially used to provide lunch for the engineering team that collected insect corpses.

The biological materials collected by Lin Feng can just make up for the shortcomings of the armor of the armored personnel carriers and equip them with biological shells that are more solid than the giant jaws of the tiger-back worm.

As his hands touched the armor of the armored vehicle and the tank beetle, the golden energy controlled by particles began to flow between the two objects...

Lin Feng looked at the identification results of both parties and the reminder of whether to merge them, and fell into deep thought.

The quality level of the armored personnel carrier reaches level 19. Like the flying wing tank, it is considered to be the essence of human technological level.

Unfortunately, it can't compare with the winged tank of the same quality.

Even a replica of a dreadnought has attributes and strength far superior to an armored personnel carrier.

As an item, it only has its own basic attributes.

The tank fire beetle carapace on Lin Feng's other hand could not be completely integrated with it. It was just attached to the surface and served as additional armor.

It does not change its red quality level.

The same is true for the Thousand Cutting Sword in Liu Yueqi's hand, but it has the nourishment of molecular cutting ability, which continuously improves its upgrade potential, and perhaps it can really achieve a leap in quality.

This is the common flaw of man-made objects. Their potential is only red quality at best, depending on the level of human technology. Unless it is originally made of a special material that has been passed down from generation to generation.

For example, the Red Black Armor and Flying Tiger Armor, as well as the Tiger Tooth Chainsaw Sword, are made of Zerg biological materials.

Because of this, Lin Feng has never been very interested in human weapons.

Even if it can be upgraded to the upper limit of level nine of white quality, it is still not as good as the replica of the god-level pistol of the same level, or the heavy machine gun with unlimited bullets.

As for red-quality heavy weapons such as machine guns and cannons, even if they are upgraded to level 19, they are not even one-tenth as strong as the attribute data of the shotgun.

To incorporate higher quality materials into them and upgrade them across levels is equivalent to directly designing a completely new weapon. Due to the poor foundation, the attributes may not be as good as the lower-level shotgun.

Just like the black armored chariot that is now combined from the two, if Lin Feng wants to upgrade it to orange quality, he must have a complete design idea.

This is equivalent to one person having to complete the design and inspection work of a professional team of hundreds of people and several years.

With this much time, Lin Feng can directly upgrade his bound dreadnought into an aerial fortress or even a space battleship!
Therefore, upgrading and transforming ordinary items is only to meet temporary needs.

As the ten heavily armored black chariots were slowly driven out of the shelter, the two hundred and eighty Salvation Army's substitute infantrymen said, and the situation was relieved to a certain extent.

The saved physical strength can also provide more endurance for future combat.

Seeing the peculiarly shaped black armored chariot, everyone came forward to curiously touch and test drive it.

Lin Feng looked at the last two hundred or so pulse tail cannons remaining, thinking about how to collect more than two hundred tons of fine steel in the front-line war zone.

The north is unlike the south. The water resources here are scarce. The long rivers flowing here are fast-flowing and carry a lot of silt, making them unsuitable for shipping.

Therefore, transportation basically has to be done by land.

If we want to transport hundreds of tons of high-quality steel from the central south to the north, the cost of land transportation is not low, and the main problem is that it takes too long.

It would take a lot of effort just to clear the obstacles along the way.

The Beihe Town where Qin Hu lives is just an ordinary riverside residential area. There are only a dozen tons of rebar of different types and strengths left over from the construction site, which is far from enough to meet the needs.

So Lin Feng thought about it and decided to target the federal high-level officials who had just won a great victory.

As Qin Hu dispatched a large force, he cleaned up the insect corpses that filled the Yunxialing Valley...

By the afternoon, he had already beheaded someone in Beihe Town and then made public the fact that the top leaders of the capital had betrayed their clan and surrendered to the enemy, and were preparing to sacrifice all the survivors in the city!

The news and video footage quickly spread to the safe zone in the rear, and all base forces received the news.

The successful rescue of the capital's breakout plan yesterday made many survivors in the rear celebrate with joy, while the senior officials of the base were worried and doubtful.

After this bad news came, a polar reversal occurred directly...

Ordinary people naturally lost their trust in the Federal Parliament. The blow to the credibility of the parliament caused by such traitors who took human lives lightly was far more serious than a defeat in war.

The high-ranking officials of various forces, who had been worried and fearful at first, instantly turned their worries into joy, and immediately made a big publicity, criticism, and condemnation report on the incident.

At the same time, they expressed their deep sympathy and condolences for General Qin Hu's experience, and planned to send condolence and relief supplies prepared by various forces to his southern corps.

Obviously, the various forces that do not want to be liquidated by the federal top leaders know very well that this is a great opportunity for them to sit back and watch the fight.

As long as the military groups in the north are divided, they will have more breathing space.

Rush to the front line and promote your own awakening as soon as possible!

Everything is progressing steadily according to Lin Feng's plan...

Soon, with the rebellion of the high-ranking officials in the capital exposed by Qin Hu, and the propaganda of various forces fanning the flames...

The federal high-ranking officials, who had been immersed in the breakout plan and the great victory, changed their indifferent attitude towards Lin Feng and quickly sent someone to visit him.

That evening, a group of senior officials led by General Chen went to Yunxialing Natural Park to meet Lin Feng.

In addition to the prominent status of the people present, the compensation for assistance agreed upon by both parties before the war will also be delivered directly.

Including the superpower cells and genetic samples that Lin Feng had longed for, as well as the research materials left behind by his mother He Yiwen before she disappeared.

In addition, General Chen also brought news about Lin Feng’s good friend, Ding Chenghai, and obviously had done a detailed background check.

At this moment, they, escorted by more than a dozen members of the late second-stage perfect battle group, arrived at the top of the main peak of Yunxialing where Lin Feng was.

The accompanying team includes the second-level awakeners rescued during this breakout. Many of them have already entered the late second level, or even the perfect state...

Relying on their own extraordinary strength, they hold general-level positions, and even among the federal high-level officials, they are in high positions and have great power.

So when they first met, they were all arrogant and looked down on everyone, but after seeing the strength and scale of the Yunxialing Salvation Army, they immediately put away their arrogant tempers and lowered their once proud heads.

Because among the more than 200 soldiers present, there were more than thirty or forty who were able to suppress them steadily.

When the visiting team arrived at the top of the mountain, they saw the legendary leader of the Salvation Army, Jincheng City Lord Lin Feng himself...

The powerful aura of the third-order life form has caused many second-order awakeners and even genetically modified warriors in the team to tremble with fear. They do not have the slightest thought of disobedience and bow their heads humbly to show their respect.

In addition, the giant mecha standing behind Lin Feng shocked everyone even more. The pressure it released brought a sense of oppression to the second-level strongmen, which was even stronger than that of the third-level Lin Feng.

With such a combination, I'm afraid they can fight against a mid-stage third-order queen mother.

"Please sit down..." Lin Feng sat quietly in a pavilion on the top of the mountain, and instructed several visiting representatives headed by General Chen to take a seat for a detailed discussion.

When they met again, General Chen looked much better than before, and his awakening level had entered the second stage. It was obvious that the breakout plan was carried out smoothly, and he had made a great contribution.

"Mr. Lin, these are the awakened cells samples we extracted. There are three boxes in total, with more than 37,000 cells in total."

The members behind him carried three black boxes.

It is more than one meter wide, two and a half meters long, and only about half a meter high. When you open it, you will see that it is densely and neatly stored in sealed glass test tubes.

Each one is ten centimeters long and one centimeter wide, and the culture medium contains special cell tissues the size of a fingernail.

The black box has its own freezing and preservation function, with cool air flowing, and can be stored for a long time after regular charging.

After a thorough inspection and confirmation that the sample was qualified, Lin Feng smiled:
"Thank you for your concern, military. What about the other information?"

General Chen quickly took out a yellow sealed file bag from his subordinate's briefcase, handed it to Lin Feng, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and began to introduce:

"Before City Lord Lin's mother disappeared, she left behind so much information that it almost filled up the entire laboratory. The research materials she collected were as large as half a library."

"We can only give you a portion of what we have found out here. If you want to know more detailed information, you have to go to the Hexi base in the northwest."

"He Yiwen's research legacy has been inherited by her apprentice, Researcher He Jie. Currently, she and Ding Chenghai have been staying in the laboratory, preventing our people from entering to investigate."

"Ding Chenghai said that outsiders cannot interfere in what is going on inside."

"So you'd better go there in person."

"At present, the top leaders of the Federation also have plans to locate the new capital in the Hexi base group."

Lin Feng frowned slightly. As far as he knew, there were as many as a dozen bases in the Hexi Corridor of the northern forces, forming a large base group.

This is the Federation's main route to the center of the continent, and it is also the final retreat for future humans.

The grasslands on the Great Wall at the mouth of the Hexi River are enough to feed nearly 100 million survivors, and this group of bases is also the most powerful force in the entire north.

The current headquarters of the federal top brass is located here.

Lin Feng took a quick look at the general content of the file. Most of it was about astrophysics and profound and complex research in the space. He knew that in order to find useful clues from it, he had to go to the Hexi base and ask Ding Chenghai and He Jie in person.

"Okay. So, is there anything else you want to do this time?"

Hearing Lin Feng putting away the files and asking with a smile, General Chen swallowed his saliva, raised his hand to dismiss his attendants, and asked in a low voice:

"Regarding the southern corps where General Qin is, what does City Lord Lin think?"

This is very crucial. Lin Feng is the only third-level awakener in the human race, and he is also the only absolute strong man who has the power to directly kill the Queen Mother...

If he were to stand on Qin Hu's side, today's matter would become very tricky.

Lin Feng's power alone is enough to influence the current world situation, plus the Salvation Army under his command and the Jincheng Base that is on the right track...

As long as he wanted, unifying the entire southern federation would be just a matter of moving his fingers.

The last time they gathered in Jincheng, the actions of many major forces on the way back were directly suppressed by a second-level combat group sent by Lin Feng, resulting in several casualties among the second-level awakeners.

Fortunately, General Chen learned in advance about Lin Feng’s private relationship with the United Steel Group, and warned his subordinates and colleagues to change their attitude towards the United Steel Group.

Otherwise, he would lose many brave generals in vain and also become enemies with Lin Feng.

Now that the situation has forced Qin Hu to break off relations, the federal high-level officials represented by General Chen have to come and confirm Lin Feng's attitude.

Hearing the other party's whispered question at this moment, Lin Feng did not answer directly, but instead talked about what he saw and heard yesterday:
"I just killed the Queen Mother of Yunxia Mountain this morning. After hearing the news, many Zerg Queen Mothers in the south and southwest came here with their entire tribes, wanting to occupy this place."

"It seems that your arrangements are far more than just support."

"Then..." General Chen heard the hidden meaning in Lin Feng's words and hurriedly wanted to explain a few words, but was interrupted by Lin Feng who raised his hand to stop him.

Lin Feng continued:
"I have no grudges about this. The location of Yunxialing is indeed extremely important. It is almost the throat of the entire northern east to the west. Starting from here, we can march straight into many bases in the northwest."

"So in order to defend Yunxia Ridge against the joint attack of hundreds of thousands of Zerg tides and four queens, I had to go to the defense line south of the capital, find the garrison stationed there, and ask them to fight outside the city and provide support to contain the Zerg."

"As a result, I happened to meet General Qin Hu, whom I had met in the battlefield of Wucheng in the south. It was a coincidence that when I was still an unknown young man, it was Qin Hu who led us to escape from Haicheng, which was about to fall."

"After I informed him of this, I went to the center of the capital city to take a look at the progress of the northwest breakout plan."

"It doesn't matter if I don't go. As soon as I got there, I discovered that the top leaders of the capital had surrendered to the East District Queen Mother and wanted to sacrifice the millions of survivors in the city to help this mid-stage Queen Mother advance to the late third stage."

"Not only that, they also plotted to harm the southern army group where Qin Hu was, intending to sacrifice a total of 150,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of awakened ones to the Zerg Queen..."

"I don't think anyone can swallow this."

"With the joint efforts of Qin Hu and I, he successfully led his soldiers to break out from the south and rescued millions of survivors, defeating the high-level traitors' sacrifice plan in one fell swoop..."

"This move not only directly saved millions of survivors, but also thwarted the birth plan of the third-stage late queen mother, saving the situation in the entire north."

"Otherwise, if a late-stage third-order queen appears, even I will have to retreat and return to the Jincheng base overnight to consider countermeasures."

"A late-stage third-stage queen mother can hatch a large number of third-stage king insects just like she cultivates second-stage insects!"

"No conventional weapons can cause effective damage to the third-level Zerg."

"By then, the two or three hundred thousand soldiers in your hands will be completely defenseless. Even the entire north will be turned into a hellish ruin under the Zerg's torrent of iron feet!"

After saying this, Lin Feng looked at General Chen, who looked pale, and spoke slowly with a heavy tone:

"Now you ask me what I think of Qin Hu and his troops exposing the traitors..."

"I just want to say that after he left the capital city, he stayed in the nearby Beihe Town to rest and recuperate. He did not flee the front line!"

"In fact, I don't care about your internal intrigues and conflicts of interest. I only recognize one thing..."

"Whoever is still fighting on the front line against the Zerg invasion, I will support him!"

"You should know that the success of the breakout plan is only the beginning of a new round of battle. The Zerg expansion is still continuing, and everything is far from perfect now!"

"The four mid-stage queen mothers that once surrounded the capital are already stirring and secretly planning a new offensive."

"I will stay here for a few more days. I plan to kill one of them to serve as a warning to others and to deter the Queen Mother in the North, thus slowing down the Zerg offensive!"

"This would require several nuclear bombs, or even large-yield hydrogen bombs, and hundreds of tons of refined steel."

"And in exchange, after I complete this, I will consider handing over Yunxia Ridge to you for garrison."

After listening to what the other party said and the subsequent plans, General Chen took a deep breath.

Lin Feng has made his attitude clear and put forward his conditions.

As a soldier, he fully agreed with Lin Feng's point of view, but as a senior federal official, he had to inform the Supreme Council behind him of all these matters.

They will discuss and vote to decide whether to go through with this deal with Lin Feng.

Now the other party's attitude is clearly biased towards Qin Hu.

The Federation must make a promise to win him back!
