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

Chapter 109: Counterattack, Tank Upgrades and Materials
Of course, Lin Feng would not ask these soldiers who had just experienced a life-and-death crisis to follow him and step into danger again.

But now that they have just pledged their allegiance to him, to deepen this trust, Lin Feng cannot just do it on his own.

At critical moments, they are also required to show their loyalty and execute Lin Feng's orders to make this follow-up relationship more solid.

The Zerg wanted to use the human decapitation plan to deal with him, so Lin Feng naturally would not be polite. He simply changed direction and went back to catch it off guard.

Of course, he would not let the team of awakened people that he had cultivated with great difficulty be destroyed by the army of black-spine insects.

So the flying wing tank stopped one kilometer away from the outpost.

Lin Feng got out of the car and asked the convoy behind to deploy in formation relying on the troop carriers and clear out the severely injured black-backed worms that remained after the explosion of the previous C4 explosives.

These are all living upgrade points, it would be a waste not to kill them.

Most of the awakeners in the team are still in the early first stage and urgently need to become stronger as soon as possible.

Then Lin Feng found Li Ran and others and told them the plan:
"The tiger-back worms are in the deep pit under the outpost. The explosion destroyed the worm tunnel. They will either die directly or be seriously injured."

"The Scarlet Beetle will dig a hole through and rescue them, but it will take some time. This is our chance."

"I need you here to help me provide cover and block any Zerg hordes that may appear."

Everyone nodded, and Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Lin Feng would get carried away and destroy the team he had just led...

Shen Jie standing aside felt a little regretful.

He hoped to follow Lin Feng and enter the cave together.

However, this mission is extremely dangerous, and Lin Feng may not be able to take care of himself, so how can he bring anyone with him?

Especially since Shen Jie is an important part of Lin Feng’s future plans, he cannot be easily sacrificed here.

Signaling him to stay in the team, Lin Feng called Li Ran alone before setting off.

He is the only unstable factor in the team at the moment.

Unlike the soldiers below, they had just joined the army and had no feelings for the 13th Division, while Li Ran had been in the army for many years, and Lin Feng was not Qin Hu, so he was not familiar with him.

Facing Lin Feng's silent gaze, Li Ran felt like something was stuck in his throat. Knowing the other party's concerns, he spoke first:

"Before Brother Qin participated in the biological experiment plan, he told me to follow you..."

"The decision made by the 13th Division this time also proves that they are not worthy of my life."

"I have no other ambitions. As long as you continue to resist the Zerg invasion, I will always follow you!"

Lin Feng nodded slightly. On the one hand, he was really short of manpower. On the other hand, Li Ran and the veteran teammates he brought with him could organize the team in time and stimulate the fighting power...

Shen Jie and the others are too young. Although their personal strength is up to standard, they are a blank slate in terms of combat proficiency and have no idea how to give commands and make arrangements.

Without Li Ran and his men, if Lin Feng and the 201st Company left, they would only be able to become a third-rate gang or a bandit force.

This is what Lin Feng is really worried about.

Now that Li Ran has expressed his loyalty, Lin Feng naturally wants to add fuel to the fire and express his own thoughts:

"One of the reasons why I want to leave now is that Brother Qin once said that after the Battle of Wucheng, the rear-area industries will basically be relocated, and the Federation will gradually reduce its main logistical supply to the South..."

"The 13th Division will inevitably fall apart by then, and it will be difficult to continue to maintain its huge scale of tens of thousands of people."

"The second is the incident of the missile accidentally hitting the target. You should have noticed it, right?"

Li Ran took a deep breath and nodded after a few seconds:
"Something went wrong with the top brass of the Thirteenth Division!"

Lin Feng hummed and added:
"There is a traitor, and it is most likely a Zerg traitor."

Hearing this, Li Ran's pupils shrank sharply and cold sweat broke out on the hand holding the shotgun.

He originally thought that this was just the result of a power struggle within the Thirteenth Division, which wanted to wipe out Qin Hu's remaining forces.

But no one expected that Lin Feng would come up with such a shocking idea as Zerg spy!
But on second thought, if the Zerg Queen was not at the strike location of the missile, then humans would have given up multiple defense fortresses in vain.

This way, it seems to become more reasonable!
When Li Ran thought of this, a figure immediately popped up in his mind. Looking at the solemn Lin Feng in front of him, he blurted out:
"It's Major Cheng... Cheng Zhan?!"

Lin Feng nodded and patted Li Ran on the shoulder:

"Don't let this matter leak out. We don't have direct evidence. Cheng Zhan is now a second-level awakener, a colonel and commander of the awakener camp. He can't be arrested with just a few words..."

"If they really start to wreak havoc, with their superhuman physique, they can kill most of the senior members of the Thirteenth Division. Then, Wucheng's defense line will collapse without a fight."

"There's still time. If you can contact the old teammates who sent the message before, tell them to break out as soon as possible and escape the Zerg encirclement!"

"This is the last chance. We need to be decisive in sacrificing what needs to be abandoned."

"When we were trying to break out, a large army of black-spine insects suddenly emerged from the darkness. This shows that the Zerg Queen had already made preparations for both scenarios."

"Their real purpose is not just as simple as breaking through the defense line."

"It is also within its plan to devour the tens of thousands of enhanced people and awakened people who are guarding the line of defense."

After saying that, Lin Feng sighed softly, boarded the flying wing chariot and sped away.

Li Ran, who was left with a terrified look on his face, ran to a troop carrier carrying a radio and ordered the signalman to contact his awakened teammates on the front line of defense and escape from the line.

At the same time, after the explosion, the swarm of insects that were frantically attacking on the front line of defense suddenly seemed to be disconnected and stood there in a daze.

Many of them crawled directly back to the wormhole entrance.

This scene made the defenders in the main fort realize that something was wrong. After contacting the rear command center, the news they received made them cheer...

Judging from the sudden changes on the battlefield, the previous attack by the ground-penetrating missiles most likely killed or seriously injured the Zerg Queen. The Zerg army, which has now lost control and command, is like a headless fly, at a loss.

And this is the best opportunity for the defenders on the defensive line to take the initiative to attack!
Of course, they didn't have the guts to go to the battlefield outside the defense line, but inside the city wall, there were wormholes dug by red beetles, and a large number of remaining insect swarms in the distance...

It's time to clean up and reduce the threat of being attacked from all sides!
The order from the division headquarters was to act according to circumstances, but many of the companies, eager to achieve success and gain merit and strengthen their awakening, directly sent out two-thirds or even all of their troops...

They mobilized in full force to encircle and eliminate the remaining insect swarms in the city.

Several companies stationed in other main forts had to stay behind on the defense line to block possible Zerg attacks from outside due to lack of weapons and ammunition.

But a large number of awakened veterans plan to follow the main force out of the city to kill the black-spine worms and grow to the late first stage.

Among them are many of Li Ran’s old teammates.

They are organized into several elite teams with clearly defined roles, and there are even platoon-level communications soldiers carrying small portable radios.

Soon, they received an urgent notice from Li Ran!

In the darkness before our eyes, at the entrance of the wormhole, there are many black-backed worms hiding and ambushing.

They have been waiting for a long time. As long as their queen mother gives the order, they will rush out from underground and catch all the humans who step out of the defense line!
At that time, there will also be tiger-backed insects on the outer front battlefield, leading the army of black-backed insects and cooperating with the riots in the city to completely destroy the defense fortresses with insufficient firepower.

The Queen Mother's conspiracy is about to be realized at this moment!

…………

Even if Lin Feng guessed the truth, he would still be powerless to change the situation.

We can only do our best to weaken the Zerg's manpower and enhance our own strength.

With the lv19 flying wing vehicle, we used the ground effect flight mode to cross the messy highway and arrived at the service area.

The surface of the originally clean and stable service area was completely torn into pieces, with raised earth mounds and deep pits everywhere.

If it were not for the ground effect flight mode, the ground pressure of the tank's tires would be greatly reduced. Otherwise, even if a tracked vehicle drove over, it would be stuck in several three or four meter deep tunnels and unable to move forward.

Fortunately, the ground effect flight mode was powerful, and with Chen Yanyan's superb driving skills, the tank was able to stop steadily next to the outpost.

The collapsed outpost was tilted, with one side completely sunk into the ground, while on the other side there was a three or four meter high wall exposed outside the pit.

It seems that the scarlet beetle dug a huge cave below for the tiger-backed worm to hide in and attract missile tracking. Lin Feng stood at the edge of the cave and looked at the center of the outpost. A huge hole with a diameter of more than 20 meters appeared in the open space where supplies were originally piled up.

Using telepathy, he detected that there were still two lights below. Chen Yanyan in the chariot also sent the detection results of the life radar, which were the same as Lin Feng's.

Lin Feng then took a deep breath, activated the flight mode of the Flying Tiger Armor on his body, and flew into the deep pit.

The destruction caused by the explosion collapsed the entire cave.

But the tiger-spine worm is faster than the Zerg queen and can evacuate when the earth-penetrating missile breaks into the ground and the tail explodes to accelerate.

The fuel-air bomb has a secondary explosion. The first explosion is only to diffuse the high-explosive gas stored inside, which is highly mixed with the air to form an aerogel. It is only when the secondary ignition causes the explosion to spread that it is a truly devastating attack.

This is similar to the first time Lin Feng used a mixed explosion of gasoline and hydrogen.

Although the Zerg Queen certainly didn't have time to escape in these few seconds, it was enough time for the highly maneuverable Tiger Spine Bug to climb up dozens of meters...

Thus escaping from the central area of ​​death.

Lin Feng remembered that when he evacuated the outpost, there were five spots of light under his feet, representing five tiger spine insects. At this moment, two of them were still glowing...

This means there are still two live worms!

And their movement trajectory is to dig and climb upwards madly.

Because as the outpost continues to sink, the living insects buried in the soil will eventually be crushed to death.

There were also a large number of red beetles nearby, digging, but with the appearance of Lin Feng, wearing a flying tiger armor and releasing the power of the tiger beetle, the red beetles immediately scattered.

Lin Feng successfully landed at the bottom of the pit which was more than 30 meters deep.

A scan showed that one of the tiger-backed insects had already poked out a sharp claw from its bottom, but most of its body was still buried under the sentry post.

It takes some effort to break free.

Seeing this opportunity, Lin Feng raised the muzzle of his gun, then stepped forward and grabbed it. He pulled hard with his half-meter-thick legs, and with the flapping lift of the wings on its back, he finally pulled the struggling tiger-back worm out of the pit.

But before it could react, a pitch-black gun muzzle was already pointed at its limbs.

Four shots were heard, and the armor-piercing cannon switched to level 19 howitzer form, directly locking onto the fragile joints of the tiger-backed worm's limbs and removing its four thick limbs.

In fact, this level 23 tiger spine worm had already been seriously injured, and its health points had dropped from more than 300 points to about half. Now that its limbs had been removed, it had less than points left.

Even a howitzer can take its life.

After eliminating the threat of the tiger-backed worm, Lin Feng was still worried, so he picked up the steel wire braided cable of the elevator from the side.

This kind of steel wire rope can bear tens or even hundreds of tons of terrifying pulling force. Ship chains of 10,000-ton cargo ships or cross-sea suspension bridges all use steel cables.

Although the steel cable of the elevator was only four centimeters and two fingers thick at this time, it was definitely more than enough to deal with the tiger-back worm that was already on the verge of death.

In the hands of Lin Feng, a second-level awakener, a steel cable weighing hundreds of kilograms is as convenient as a hemp rope.

Use them easily to tie up the tiger spine worm's giant jaws or even tie a knot.

The more than ten tons of force erupting from the body are not just talk. It can directly break four-centimeter steel bars, let alone flexible steel cables.

However, the tiger-backed worm with only its trunk and giant jaws left is not light. A pair of ten-meter-long giant jaws alone weighs over a ton, and with the head and body, the total weight exceeds three tons.

Even with the membrane-winged flying wings working at full capacity, Lin Feng can only carry objects weighing half a ton.

But when he saw the steel cables, an idea struck him.

So he found two more ropes, tied them up, and then tied one end to the giant jaws of the tiger-backed worm. At the same time, he tied the other end firmly to the rear trailer hook of the lv19 flying wing tank after Lin Feng flew out of the -meter-deep cave.

After making all the preparations, Chen Yanyan stepped on the accelerator, and with the roar of the engine, she cooperated with Lin Feng to drag the tiger-backed worm out of the deep pit and onto the surface.

Then, following Lin Feng's instructions, he turned the car around and rammed the other party to death.

Watching the three pairs of sharp horns on the front of the car pierce into the tiger spine worm's head, yellow-green blood gushed out like a fountain...

Before Lin Feng's eyes, a reminder of the chariot upgrade flashed by:

"LV19 Winged Chariot, cross-level upgrade conditions have been met: upgrade points 10/10, kill tiger spine insects 1/1"

"Enable upgrade?"

"Note: You can give up your own synchronous upgrade to perform equipment fusion upgrade"

Now is not the time to upgrade, so Lin Feng used the upgraded lv9 ordinary long sword to cut the giant jaws of the tiger-back worm.

As a result, the blade bent halfway through the cut.

Lin Feng had no choice but to move the entire remains of the tiger worm into the trunk. Fortunately, its body was narrow enough and he could squeeze in with just a little effort.

After putting one in there, the fifty cubic meters of space was already too small, so Lin Feng immediately used up his reserve upgrade points to expand the capacity to two hundred cubic meters.

During the escape, heavy machine guns and machine guns killed a large number of black-spined insects. In addition, the C4 explosion was close enough to absorb a lot of dissipated energy.

At this moment, the chariot's upgrade points have been reserved to as many as six hundred.

Lin Feng thought about it and wondered whether the properties of the upgraded storage space should still be calculated according to the black-spine worm?
Since I'm about to upgrade to a higher level anyway, there's not much point in keeping them, so I might as well use all the remaining upgrade points on space expansion.

The trunk capacity has been expanded to 500 cubic meters, and the living and combat area is 150 cubic meters. In other words, the bedroom and living room of the tank can be about square meters in size.

One bedroom, one living room and one bathroom are enough.

After finishing the materials for upgrading and fusion, Lin Feng heard Chen Yanyan's cry:

"Lin Feng, there's another one! The other one has already climbed up!!"

It turned out that after Lin Feng left the central cave of the outpost, the red beetles that had scattered and hidden in the cracks obeyed the orders of the tiger-backed worm and reappeared to dig it out.

And this tiger spine worm is actually a lv24 second-stage mid-stage tiger spine worm:
"Tiger-backed worm, lv24/29, seriously injured"

"HP 250, Vt 350, SPR 36"

As it struggled to climb out of the outpost cave and stepped onto the ground, the entire outpost finally couldn't bear the weight and collapsed, buried in the sinkhole.

It was just a little bit away from crushing the seriously injured tiger-backed insect to death in the pile of dirt.

At the same time as the ground was shaking, there was also a loud explosion...

Just beside the chariot not far away, Lin Feng slowly put down the level 20 armor-piercing cannon in his hand, and walked towards the level 24 tiger-spine worm whose body was completely exploded with an expressionless face.

It had just survived a battle for survival, and before it could react, it was shot dead by Lin Feng.

The armor-piercing shell penetrated its outer armor and exploded inside its brain, eventually tearing it into pieces, leaving no intact body.

After dragging the only intact thing on the ground, a pair of giant jaws, back into the trunk, Lin Feng looked around and saw that the black-spine insect swarm was gathering again...

Deep underground in the tiankeng below their feet, red beetles had already dug out the dead bodies of tiger-back worms and dragged them away.

There is no value in staying any longer.

He immediately turned around and got into the car and ordered to return.

After returning, in addition to finding a safe and secluded temporary camp to settle his soldiers...

The tank must also be upgraded to level 20 orange equipment!
Then use the copy skill to upgrade everyone's weapons and equip them with lv19 tanks. Even if only the basic attributes are retained, they can be comparable to military armored vehicles!
After completing these, Lin Feng still had an extremely important matter that he needed to solve alone.

That is to return to the Thirteenth Division's base...

Find Cheng Zhan, the Zerg traitor, and repay him for the missiles they prepared for him.

It is natural to reciprocate gifts.
