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

Chapter 108: Unexpected News, Breakthrough and Winning Over People
Lin Feng frowned. Could it be that the Zerg’s plan was to attack from underground?
But this outpost bunker was built under his supervision. In order to prevent the Zerg from digging holes through the ground, in addition to deepening the foundation, a layer of reinforced concrete nearly two meters thick was laid on the ground.

Anyway, they are both cities, and the ready-made cement factory products have too much inventory due to the rapid decline of the real estate market in the past two years, and the shelf life is short. It would be better to transport more steel and grain instead of shipping them back to the rear.

So we took local materials...

This created the engineering wonder of the Wucheng defense line.

The two-meter-thick surface defense layer is so thick that the red beetles cannot dig through it even after half a month. Even if the tiger-backed beetles take action themselves, it will take more than ten days to scrape out a hole.

As for the flat wall, the black-backed worm and the tiger-backed worm have no way to start with their huge jaws that cannot open to 180 degrees.

Not as good as a professional digger like the red beetle.

By the time the Zerg broke through the defense fortress from underground, humans' strategic goal of blocking the Zerg's expansion had been successfully achieved and they had already retreated.

So Lin Feng's first reaction was that the tiger-backed worms wanted to launch an encirclement attack from the back of the outpost, catching the defenders off guard.

So he hung up the intercom and replied:
"Don't worry, they can't come out from underground."

"Just pay attention to the movements of the tiger spine insects, and focus on the air to guard against the wind wing insects."

With the protection of the outpost, attacks from the ground are easy to deal with. The only thing that Lin Feng cares about is the extremely fast second-order wind-wing insect.

The defenders' reaction could not keep up with their speed.

Moreover, as a second-level Zerg, the huge size of the Windwing Bug means a stronger take-off weight. It is entirely possible to throw the bug into the center of the outpost, or transport it to the top of the city wall, and then drill into the shooting air layer from above...

A sudden attack would definitely cause considerable unrest among the defenders.

However, what Lin Feng did not expect was that ten minutes later, when the tiger-backed worm dug under the sentry post, it suddenly stopped where it was.

At this moment, there is no need for the tank's life radar. His telepathy alone can clearly show that more than 70 meters below his feet, there are five or six bright light sources, gathered together under the sentry post.

And they just stay like that.

They huddled together, as if planning something.

An inexplicable sense of crisis gradually surged up in Lin Feng's heart.

Incomprehensible phenomena are often accompanied by unknown threats.

Soon, Lin Feng saw Li Ran running hurriedly from the opposite side of the sentry post.

He stopped in front of Lin Feng and said excitedly:

"Brother Feng, good news!"

Lin Feng frowned slightly and asked him to speak properly.

Li Ran took a deep breath and immediately explained:
"The brothers who followed Brother Qin are now in the main fortress on the front battlefield. They sent me the latest news."

"The division headquarters issued an order for them to withdraw from the main fort on the southern front as soon as possible and head north."

"Because not far from those main forts, there are a large number of second-level tiger-spine insects gathered. As the mother nest of the Zerg, that is most likely the hiding place of the Queen Mother!"

Lin Feng sensed something was wrong and asked:

"So, the division is now going to launch nuclear bombs at those places to kill the Zerg Queen?"

Li Ran shook his head:
"Probably not. The impact area of ​​a nuclear bomb is too large to be avoided by simply evacuating a few hundred meters."

"Moreover, the ability of nuclear bombs to strike underground targets is not ideal. They should be special ground-penetrating missiles equipped with some conventional weapons that are extremely lethal to biological organisms."

"For example, white phosphorus bombs or fuel-air explosive bombs..."

Hearing this, Lin Feng's expression changed, and a faint iron blue color appeared in his solemnity.

Because of the dim vision, Li Ran did not realize that something was wrong, so he continued:

"Once the division's decapitation operation succeeds and the Zerg Queen is seriously injured or directly killed, these controlled Zerg hordes will fall into chaos. That will be the best time for us to leave the city and launch a counterattack."

“This is a great time for us to turn the tables!”

"We should take this opportunity to kill a few more tiger-spine insects and promote a few more people to the second-level awakening. By then, Cheng Zhan will still be a..."

Li Ran was talking non-stop, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Lin Feng who was lost in thought:

"run!"

"Notify everyone to take their heavy machine guns, abandon the sniping mission, and run directly back to the troop carrier!"

"Give them three minutes. After three minutes, I will open the gate at the back! Be the first to break out!" Lin Feng said as he walked, his tone hurried and his face fierce.

Li Ran, who was interrupted, was stunned when he heard this order:
“W…why?!”

Lin Feng turned around and left only one sentence:

"Those tiger-backed insects that are about to be hit are right below the outpost, right under our feet!!"

After saying this, his figure disappeared in the corridor leading to the stairs downstairs.

Li Ran was left standing there in a daze. After a few seconds, he finally reacted and immediately spoke loudly, instructing several teammates and the captain to let the recruits assemble quickly!

Evacuate the post within two minutes!

"Run! Run!"

"The missiles are coming! We can't stay here!!"

"One minute left, everyone leave!"

The soldiers were at a loss, but still obeyed the captain's orders because they found that the sergeant who had been defending the line with them had disappeared.

Retreating with him were several other powerful veteran captains in the late first stage.

After receiving the notice, Shen Jie and others immediately left their posts with their weapons and returned to the troop carrier in the center of the outpost.

There are four large troop transport vehicles converted from trucks, each of which can seat thirty people. This is more than enough to transport the hundred or so people, and can also carry a lot of supplies.

But there was no extra time for them to think about it. The several machine guns fixed on the shooting windows of the outpost had no time to be dismantled.

One by one, they climbed onto the troop carrier without hesitation and squeezed onto the narrow benches on both sides.

Lin Feng had already directed Chen Yanyan to turn the car around and aim it at the iron gate that was about to open.

At this time, outside the outpost fortress, because there were no longer any defenders on the defense line to block the attack and after losing their firepower, the rolling tide of insects instantly rushed to the bottom of the city wall and piled up.

Many red beetles have climbed up the walls and drilled into the outpost like cockroaches through the ten-meter-high shooting window.

The soldiers who were left behind turned around and fired to kill the approaching swarm of red beetles, while calling on their teammates in the vehicles to provide cover.

Fortunately, they were wearing red armor for protection, so even if they were accidentally hit by red beetles, it would not be a big deal.

Lin Feng calculated the time accurately, and as soon as three minutes were up, he pressed the detonator directly.

Before the battle broke out, the TNT explosives placed in a circle around the outpost were detonated instantly.

The violent explosion caused the ground of the entire outpost to tremble a few times. As the fireball rose, the shock wave instantly blew away hundreds of insect swarms nearby.

Lin Feng then aimed at the iron gate and fired a shot.

The armor-piercing shell penetrated the middle door lock and exploded outside, not only blasting the two iron doors open, but also instantly killing the remaining black-backed insect swarms outside.

Seeing this, Chen Yanyan stepped on the accelerator, and the flying wing tank rushed out of the outpost first and led the way.

Outside the outpost, the corpses of insects were scattered all over the service area. Under the city wall, there was even a pile of black-backed insect corpses five or six meters thick.

All died tragically in the explosion of high explosives.

But at the entrance of the wormhole not far away, there was still a steady stream of black-backed worms crawling out and rushing towards them.

Lin Feng came to the second-floor observation deck of the tank, holding three level 19 machine guns, and fired wildly at the swarm of insects.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yanyan drove the flying wing vehicle out of the service area, followed closely by four troop carriers.

After leaving the safe outpost, the soldiers on the vehicle huddled in fear, but under the orders and calls of captains such as Li Ran and Shen Jie, many of them still plucked up their courage, leaned half of their bodies out, and launched an attack on the swarm of insects chasing them from both sides and behind.

The heavy machine gun in his hand spewed out tongues of fire, and bullets hit the army of black-spined insects like a torrential rain, slowing down the Zerg's pursuit speed.

At the same time, the leading flying wing tank had successfully driven onto the highway, and the troop carrier following closely behind also left the service area.

On the road behind, a large number of black-backed insects were chasing us like mad. Looking back, it was like a black tide of death, unstoppable.

Dozens of heavy machine guns and the four gas hammer shotguns in the hands of Li Ran and others were simply unable to stop the thousands of black-spine insects that were coming at them with all their might and without fear of death...

The machine guns on the flying wing tanks also have to guard against threats from the sky and cannot provide support for too long.

The lv20 armor-piercing cannon also needs to be charged for a few seconds before it can cover the bombing.

At this moment, the large army of black-spine insects was less than a hundred meters away from the last troop carrier! Seeing this, Lin Feng made a prompt decision and directly pressed another button on the detonator in his hand.

Afterwards, the remaining twenty pieces of C4 clay explosives buried on both sides of the road were detonated simultaneously.

The flames from the simultaneous explosions were as dazzling as the sun, instantly illuminating an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius. The shock wave generated by the explosions then set off a violent airflow, causing even tanks and troop transport trucks weighing more than a dozen tons to shake violently.

When the fireball gradually dissipated and died out, the small mushroom cloud that rose up, along with the dust and dirt all over the sky, and the broken limbs of the insect swarm, turned into a red, yellow, green and black smelly blood rain...

Of the thousands of black-backed insects that were chasing, half died directly, most were seriously injured and fell to the ground. Only a few hundred at the front could continue to move, but they were no longer able to chase.

They seemed to be frightened by the explosion!

The spiritual connection with the Queen Mother was disturbed by the energy waves of the explosion and became unstable.

On the troop carrier in the rear, witnessing the crisis being resolved in an instant, the people who had come to their senses burst into thunderous cheers for surviving the disaster, raising their guns and shouting in celebration.

As a large number of black-spine insects fell to the ground, the danger of the insects chasing them was immediately resolved. After walking forward for another three kilometers in one breath...

Finally escaped from the edge of the Zerg's activity range.

At this time, Lin Feng raised his gun and aimed towards the north. He could already see the second line of defense prepared by the 13th Division.

The joy of surviving the catastrophe did not infect him. Lin Feng frowned slightly and looked at the light that was flying rapidly in the sky in the distance...

He wanted to know why the division headquarters would evacuate in advance without notifying the outpost.

The abnormal behavior of the tiger-backed worms underground indirectly confirms that the Zerg Queen has long been aware of the "decapitation operation" of humans.

He even took advantage of the situation and broke through the first line of defense directly, including eliminating himself in the outpost!

If you think about it carefully, there is only one reason, that is, there is a traitor in the top leadership of the 13th Division.

Zerg spy!
It was it that stole the secret plan and informed the Queen Mother!

In this way, the person who acts as the traitor will be exposed!

It was Cheng Zhan, Major Cheng, who had unexpectedly returned from the Zerg hinterland...

No, he has now been promoted to colonel and is fully qualified and capable of accessing internal secrets and helping the Queen Mother complete her plan of killing someone with a borrowed knife!

For example, this time the missile launched a long-range decapitation attack!

The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

Because he had originally planned to let Shen Jie and Zhang Liying, the two awakened ones who had awakened the ability to devour and assimilate...

Disguise as a bug in the future and sneak into the Zerg hive!

Find out the enemy's details!
But what Lin Feng didn't expect was that the Queen Mother would be able to plant spies so quickly. It was estimated that the human leaders had never thought about it in this regard.

Because so far, only high-level Zerg have shown high intelligence...

Whether it is low-level insects or second-level Zerg, their IQ is like that of a child, and their mental attributes are far lower than those of humans of the same level.

They are all puppet tools controlled by the Queen Mother and have extremely low intelligence.

But only Lin Feng knew what terrible consequences would come from underestimating the Zerg.

Humanity must pay the price for its arrogance!

Seeing that there were no more insect swarms chasing him, Lin Feng immediately ordered the vehicle to stop. Wearing a set of Flying Tiger armor, he walked out of the chariot and came to the troop carrier at the rear.

Li Ran and others jumped out of the cab, wearing red armor, putting away their joy of surviving the disaster and turning their expressions into solemn ones.

They are also aware of the problem.

At this moment, we saw the tail flame appearing in the sky, which was a sign that a cruise missile was about to arrive.

Could it really be shooting at the sentry post!?
Facing the tense gazes of the soldiers on the vehicle, Lin Feng pointed directly at the light and said in a deep voice:

"In a few minutes, the missiles above our heads will hit the outpost where we were originally located..."

"The missiles have been launched. Why didn't the top brass of the 13th Division warn us in advance?!"

Lin Feng then pointed to the second line of defense not far away:

"They are safe and comfortable in the rear, giving orders while we risk our lives on the front line to stop the Zerg. If it were just that, it would be fine..."

"And now, they actually want to use our lives in exchange for the chance to kill the Queen Mother!"

"Believe it or not, if we run back now, we will be accused of deserting our post and losing our position!"

"The top brass of the Thirteenth Division really disappoints me!"

"From now on, I, Lin Feng, will no longer obey the command of the 13th Division, nor will I participate in the Wucheng blocking battle!"

"As for everyone else, we have fought together. You can choose to go back, or you can decide to follow me..."

"Although I can't give you any other guarantees except killing insects and becoming stronger, but there is one thing I will never give up on any of my teammates!"

As he was speaking, a meteor streaked across the distance.

I saw a missile with a tail flame coming straight from the sky and hitting the outpost fortress where everyone was once stationed.

Immediately afterwards, a loud noise was heard.

Even the whole earth was rumbling and shaking!

Then, the indestructible sentry tower slowly sank into the ground, collapsing more than ten meters, as if the firewood had been drained from the bottom of a cauldron...

At this moment, the ironclad facts were in front of them. The people who were in danger recalled that before, under the strange order of the sergeant, they withdrew from the fortified outpost...

If you hesitated and didn't leave, the end of the outpost at this moment would be your burial place!

When everyone thought of this, they began to feel a surge of fear, and then, like their superior, they began to feel endless indignation in their hearts.

Immediately, many people indignantly questioned their company commander, Captain Li Ran from the 13th Division.

After Li Ran came forward and confirmed that they had not received an evacuation order from the top...

This feeling of anger escalated into a raging fire!

It was natural for them to choose to follow Lin Feng and leave the command of the 13th Division.

They are all new recruits who have just joined the army. Apart from their passion to serve their country and save humanity, they only have their personal ambition to kill insects and become stronger.

Now, with the help of Lin Feng, he has safely become an awakened person, so naturally he doesn't want to work for the Thirteenth Division anymore.

Especially when being abandoned or betrayed.

The anger in many people's hearts has turned into resentment. This experience of betrayal has made them lose trust in the Thirteenth Division!

And this is exactly the effect that Lin Feng wants.

When the explosion of the bunker-penetrating missile in the distance caused the outpost to collapse and the smoke and dust raised... gradually dissipated.

The remaining insect swarms, affected by the underground shock wave, scattered like birds and beasts.

Lin Feng then raised his gun and shouted:
"Since everyone wants to stay, then come back with me now and catch the Zerg off guard!"

"Encircle and destroy the black-spine insects! Insect killers awaken!"

"By the way, destroy the remaining tiger-backed insects!"

After saying that, Lin Feng boarded the chariot.

He looked back at Li Ran who had stood up, then took the lead and rushed back to the outpost.

Shen Jie and his companions commanded the two troop carriers in his hands to keep up with Lin Feng's pace.

Li Ran hesitated for a few seconds, and finally looked at the brightly lit second line of defense in the distance, and ordered the sergeant's tank to follow...
