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

Chapter 45 Bait, Hire, lv14 Machine Gun

Chen Yanyan suddenly understood.

It turns out there is still such an operation.

Lin Feng is the one who is sinister and vicious.

But now the swarm of red beetles were scared and fled in all directions, and in the previous period of time, she had only killed seven of them, and was still ten away from level 9.

"What should I do? Should I follow them?"

Chen Yanyan looked at the dead red beetles on the ground and skillfully peeled off their carapaces with a knife.

Seven pieces of back armor are enough to upgrade the Red Armor Shield to the next level.

Watching the insect hunting team leave one after another, Lin Feng shook his head:

"Those bugs are very smart. Unless you go deep into the vicinity of the mother nest and get close to the city, you may encounter a large swarm of bugs."

"Don't think about harvesting like crazy. Opportunities like those in university towns are hard to come by, and it's easy to fail."

"Please pray that this scattered group of insect hunters will be lucky enough to catch a small group of black-spine worms."

After saying that, Lin Feng left the RV, took over the red beetle's carapace, and integrated it into Chen Yanyan's shield armor.

Upgrade to lv5 and save a few upgrade storages.

Chen Yanyan looked at the insect corpses on the ground that were emitting a strange smell, thinking:
"We need to find a way to lure the bugs out of the cave. What about these bug corpses? Didn't you use this to feed the scarlet beetles before?"

Lin Feng shrugged:

"That's a solution. But they prefer the corpses of their own kind, which is far less attractive than human flesh and blood. I guess it has something to do with the water and nutritional content."

"Unless you are willing to bleed to lure them."

"Besides, guarding the cave entrance is very uncertain. It's like digging a shrimp hole. There may be lobsters at the bottom of the hole, but it's also possible that you might find a poisonous snake."

“The stakes are high.”

"If three or four black-backed beetles suddenly appeared, I wouldn't be able to save you in time."

The two were standing in front of the insect corpse and discussing, when suddenly three cars, ordinary sedans, drove into the entrance of the toll station.

Several young men walked down from above, the oldest was no more than 20 years old, the youngest was only 16 or 17 years old, all of them still looked like students.

Lin Feng had some impression of the leading few people. They were the students sitting in the school bus that escaped from Haicheng with them.

Logically speaking, they should have arrived in Jincheng with the fleeing group.

Why did you run back again?

A dozen young people got off the car and had a discussion. Among them, a man and a woman walked towards Lin Feng.

When Chen Yanyan saw them, her eyes lit up.

They stopped a few meters in front of Lin Feng, trying to cheer themselves up despite their sleepy expressions, and said in a humble tone:
"Hello, Mr. Lin."

"We are Liu Yueqi's schoolmates. My name is Shen Jie and her name is Zhang Liying."

Lin Feng frowned slightly when he saw their dirty appearance. Shen Jie and Zhang Liying in front of him, one was lv2 and the other was lv1. Among the insect hunters, their strength was not worth mentioning.

"You don't even have decent equipment. What are you doing here? Are you here to die?"

Shen Jie looked very helpless:
"We were all in school when the giant insects invaded. We followed the school bus driver and managed to escape. Our families and relatives were all killed in the sea of ​​insects... The federal agency does not accept teenagers under the age of sixteen, and the management bureau thinks our level is too low..."

"We had nowhere to go, and we met Liu Yueqi on the road. She gave us half a tank of gasoline and told us to come here and try our luck."

Lin Feng sighed and shook his head:
"Don't even think about it. This isn't the complex terrain of a city. There's no chance for you to find a bargain in this open area."

"Even if all of you were combined, you might not be able to deal with a small group of red beetles."

"Now the scarlet beetles are hiding in their holes. We can't do anything to them, unless you want to get into the narrow wormhole and fight them head-on."

After hearing what Lin Feng said, the two looked at the desolate scene nearby and turned around with great disappointment.

"and many more!"

At this time, a female voice came from behind.

Chen Yanyan looked at these students and said with a smile:

"If you have nowhere to go, why not come and work for us. Clean up the battlefield, collect materials, etc."

"Of course, if you are willing to act as bait, we will also consider sharing the opportunity of insecticide enhancement."

After saying that, Chen Yanyan looked at Lin Feng, got his confirmation, and pointed to the wormhole in the greenery on the roadside.

Shen Jie and Zhang Liying looked at each other and replied:

"We need to discuss this with others first. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he returned to the three cars and discussed with other companions. Finally, he led three people, a total of five people, raised two shields made of carapaces, and each of them held a dagger, a fire axe, a crowbar and other weapons in their hands.

"We are willing to help you lure out the red beetles, and the rest of us will clean up the battlefield."

Lin Feng nodded:
"Find a few brave ones who are not afraid of bugs. We need to transport some live bugs back."

If he really can't encounter the black-backed beetle, Lin Feng plans to catch a few red beetles to complete the task and deal with Hu Fei for the time being.

Several people took a deep breath, nodded, and followed Chen Yanyan to the entrance of the wormhole on the side of the road.

The crawling traces left on the grass extended all the way to the hole in front of me, which was more than one meter wide. The wormhole was very wide, and many tentacles and antennae could be vaguely seen shaking. The red beetles were frightened, and there were no black-backed worms nearby to command them, so they did not dare to crawl out for a while to search for food.

Shen Jie led four young men and carefully moved to the edge of the cave entrance. They raised the fire axe, knocked on the shield in their hands, and at the same time made a wheezing and roaring sound in their mouths, trying to attract the red beetles out.

Unfortunately, the red beetle was lying on the wall of the cave and didn't react at all.

Because the noise made by Shen Jie and his companions was too loud, they even went deeper into the cave and shrank back as much as possible.

Now we can either get into the hole and enter the territory of the red beetle, or try other means to lure the snake out of the hole.

Following Chen Yanyan's instructions, several companions moved several red beetle corpses from the armored RV nearby, discarded them at the entrance of the cave, and then quietly retreated.

However, after a long while, there was still no movement.

Seeing this, Chen Yanyan took out a box of medical first aid kit from the RV, took out the hose needle, and said lightly:

"Sound alone won't work. The bait smells too weak to attract the scarlet beetles."

"The last resort is to seduce with blood."

"This is the sterile blood transfusion equipment. Who's coming?"

Shen Jie took the sterile packaging tape, opened it, looked at the four people in front of him, took a deep breath and made a suggestion:
"There are only three sets of blood transfusion needles. I'll go first. More than 300 milliliters per person should be enough."

After reading the operation diagram, he decisively tied the rubber band and, with the help of Zhang Liying, inserted it into the vein in front of the elbow.

Having been strengthened twice, drawing some blood did not have a big impact on his condition. However, since he had not eaten for a long time, he still felt a strong dizziness after the drawing.

The next two boys took over, and finally drew out a total of 1,000 milliliters and gave them to Zhang Liying.

The girl walked carefully to the entrance of the cave and poured the warm blood in her hands into the depths of the cave.

A rustling sound was heard, and after smelling and tasting the strong smell of blood, this group of red beetles, who were already hungry, became restless.

Zhang Liying took the opportunity to sprinkle the remaining blood at the entrance of the cave, and then retreated to the road.

Everyone held their breath, like fishermen waiting for the fish to bite, until two long tentacles poked out of the hole, and they all showed joy on their faces.

The red beetles sucked the blood from the soil. Driven by the feeding instinct, they forgot their fear and crawled out of the wormhole one after another, following the blood trail and crawling all the way over.

Shen Jie and the others swallowed their saliva, and at Chen Yanyan's gesture of warning, they slowly retreated.

As more and more red beetles crawled out of this hole, the increase in numbers made their behavior become bolder.

Start exploring outward.

Chen Yanyan counted the red beetles in front of her and found that there were already seventeen or eighteen of them, enough for her to strengthen to the ninth time.

So he raised the gun decisively and aimed it at the red beetle.

Using a point-shooting method, they broke their ventral legs one by one, rendering them unable to move.

Doing so will not disturb the insect swarm and cause new panic, and it will also continue to attract the hatred of the red beetles and keep them firmly restrained.

The death of a red beetle will alert its peers, but the hissing of an injured beetle can arouse the anger of nearby red beetles.

In their limited brains, they can only recognize a single signal content. Death means danger, but mere injury means an enemy that can be killed.

Chen Yanyan walked and retreated, using the flexibility and agility brought by her long legs to quickly deal with these low-level red beetles.

A few minutes later……

Seeing that no more red beetles appeared at the entrance of the cave, Chen Yanyan put down the gun in her hand and looked at the remaining insects lying on the ground, there were as many as twenty-seven or twenty-eight of them.

After picking up the long sword and killing ten of them, Chen Yanyan successfully strengthened to the ninth level.

If you kill a black-spine worm of level 10 or above, you can upgrade to level 10 and start super power awakening.

Of the remaining eighteen red beetles, Chen Yanyan gave three to Shen Jie and his companions, and for the remaining fifteen, she asked them to cut off all the gastropods and chelicerae and move them to the trunk of the RV, while also cutting off and collecting the ten carapaces.

After finishing everything, Chen Yanyan took out some compressed biscuits and instant noodles from the RV as a meal supplement for Shen Jie and others.

"Okay, we've killed all the bugs. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back first. What's going to happen here is not something you can participate in."

Chen Yanyan kindly reminded them that after their blood was drawn, their combat effectiveness was almost zero, and once the black-spined worms attacked, they would basically be doomed to die.

Zhang Liying supported Shen Jie, said thank you, and left without hesitation with her companions.

After they walked away, Chen Yanyan checked her phone. It was almost noon. Thinking of the reminder from the management staff when they set out, she couldn't help but ask:
"Do you want to keep waiting? There may not be enough time."

Lin Feng lay on the passenger seat and took off his sunglasses:
"Don't be impatient. Fishing requires patience in addition to baiting."

"We can all think of a way to attract insects, so can't those idiots guess it?"

"And they are likely to throw heavy bait, and if they catch a shark, they will definitely get into trouble..."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, a loud explosion was heard in the distance. One kilometer away, an off-road vehicle was overturned by several black-backed insects.

Because the people in the other fleeing cars were firing wildly with rifles, the fuel tank was pierced, and the sparks ignited the gasoline, causing a small explosion.

But this could not stop the pursuit of up to twenty small groups of black-backed insects.

They kept their eye on their target and rushed towards the toll station behind the RV.

Lin Feng raised his lips slightly and pulled out his upgraded lv14 bolt gun...

No, it's already a 30mm machine gun at this time!
He stood up and left the co-pilot seat, and spoke slowly:
"Okay, it's our turn to work."
