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

Chapter 236: High Walls, Dilemma, Believers and Buddha
After knocking Jiang Yuner unconscious, Lin Feng’s figure disappeared on the top of the high wall of the defense line.

The golden giant turned into a stream of light and rushed towards several exits at the foot of the high wall in the northwest.

There gathered a large number of civilian survivors, including some enhanced humans and even ordinary first-order awakeners.

After more than two months of fierce battles, there are very few ordinary people in the capital city now. The worst are enhanced people of level two or three or above.

As long as you go to the front line to clean up the battlefield, or guard the cave entrance for the rotating soldiers, you can get good results.

Therefore, the life energy contained in these millions of people is actually not low.

Even though Lin Feng had accidentally saved the entire 150,000 elite troops in the south, allowing the important awakened people in the sacrificial ceremony to be the first to stay away from the dangerous inner city area...

But with more than two or three million people, there is still the possibility for the ceremony to take place and even succeed.

By then, once a third-stage late-stage Zerg queen is born in the north...

Even if the entire Salvation Army under Lin Feng was stationed in the northern region, they would have to retreat when facing the attack of the late third-order queen mother.

Longyi once said that a late-stage third-order queen mother possesses the ability to directly hatch other third-order life forms. Although these third-order life forms have to rely on themselves to obtain the artistic conception inheritance, they are far stronger than late-stage second-order awakeners.

With large-scale hatching and synthesis, mass-produced third-order giant insects will sweep across the entire north, and even go directly south to capture the rich river basins.

At this moment, less than three months away from the apocalyptic outbreak of the Zerg invasion, a late-stage third-order queen is about to be born.

This is the situation that Lin Feng is most reluctant to see, and it is also a situation that the entire human race cannot accept.

The sacrificial ceremony must be disrupted as soon as possible to disperse the wandering and crowded crowd.

Lin Feng ran and felt lucky that he followed the call of his instinct and came to check on Jiang Yuner's condition.

Otherwise, such an important event would be missed and the sacrificial ceremony would be delayed.

But now, including the rush to get here, the capture of Jiang Yuner, and the subsequent "interrogation", twenty minutes have been consumed, and there is only the last half an hour before the outbreak of the multi-emperor battle in Yunxialing.

Including the ten minutes it takes to return from here, Lin Feng only has twenty minutes at most to resolve the issue.

It was a pity that the two weapons in his hands were all left at the front line of Yunxialing. Without their help, it would be difficult for Lin Feng to destroy the more than ten-meter-thick defense wall with his bare hands and then disperse the crowd.

"damn it!"

Lin Feng arrived in the southwest direction and looked at the huge crowd of people below him. The soldiers guarding the city gate had obviously been instructed to conduct body and luggage searches on the pretext of being Zerg spies.

This will delay time and reduce the speed at which people leave.

There are only three entrances and exits in this direction, each of which is about four meters wide and can accommodate two security check lines at the same time.

About two people passed per second, for a total of six people.

Under ideal circumstances, only about 20,000 people can pass through in an hour.

It is normal to evacuate the crowds at the closing of a normal large-scale event, but now the number of people crowding outside the entrances and exits is more than one million.

If this goes on, I won’t be able to finish the race in two days.

Not to mention that there is less than an hour or two left. Once the eastern defense line evacuates, the Zerg entrenched in the east of the capital city will march straight in under the command of the third-stage mid-stage queen mother.
Countless swarms of insects will fill the empty spaces between each circle of defense lines, and then surround the entire inner city of the first payment, trapping millions of unarmed survivors to death in the circle.

By then, even if Lin Feng drove a colonial mecha and led his salvation army, he could only look up at the giant wall of one hundred or two hundred meters high and sigh.

The high wall that protects humans from danger eventually becomes a prison that traps and kills people.

There is always a sense of inexplicable irony.

Lin Feng, standing at the entrance, looked back.

We saw that there was a three-kilometer urban area distance between the second and third lines of defense, and more than ten kilometers between the third and fourth and fifth lines of defense.

A feeling of powerlessness suddenly came over me.

Regardless of whether he could widen the entrance and exit to allow as many people as possible to have a chance of survival, the three circles behind alone were fifteen kilometers long, with four lines of high walls...

The fate of this group of people is already determined.

The Zerg only need to cut off their escape routes from the outside. The survivors will die in the capital city sooner or later. It’s just a matter of how long the survival countdown is.

From the moment the federal top brass formulated the breakout plan, the group of top brass in the capital who had already defected to the enemy began planning how to maximize the benefits for the abandoned survivors.

This so-called sacrificial ceremony was their token of allegiance to the Zerg Queen.

A late-stage third-order queen mother is enough to protect them and allow them to continue to survive in the apocalypse. Not to mention that after escaping, they can still be of use by hiding in the safe zone in the rear.

In order to achieve their goal, they did not notify the civilians in advance and evacuated them.

If it had been a few days earlier, when he decided to go north to provide assistance, he would have started transferring the survivors to the outer defense line in batches, and Lin Feng would not be so passive at this moment.

Having said that, we should still try what we should try and not just sit there and wait.

Lin Feng also had extreme thoughts, such as killing all these survivors. He would rather let them die in his hands than let the Zerg's sacrifice ritual succeed.

However, he rejected the idea the next moment.

Because she had no bound equipment in her hands, even if she killed many people, as long as she left behind usable corpses and biomass, it would still be useful to the Queen Mother.

The only way to quickly exterminate this group of people and completely crush them is to pour a large amount of liquid fuel on them, then set them on fire and burn them directly into charcoal.

Set fire to the city and turn everything into ruins.

However, if he did so, not to mention whether the capital city, which is now short of resources, could quickly collect thousands of tons of liquid fuel, it was impossible for Lin Feng to do such a ruthless thing.

Wouldn't it be better to use so much fuel to build a fire wall to block the Zerg invasion?

You can also use vehicles to speed up the evacuation of survivors.

Time passed like this, with ideas and plans being proposed and rejected one by one...

Lin Feng stood on the high wall, frowning as he stared at the crowds of people jostling and shoving at his feet, looking at faces filled with confusion and bewilderment...

All living beings are still unaware of the impending end they will face, which will be an endless abyss that is ten thousand times more terrifying than death. They will become part of the hive's will and will never be able to escape.

Just as Lin Feng was trying hard to think of a way out of the impasse, suddenly, at a certain moment, he saw a slightly familiar face among the huge crowd.

At this moment, a strong impulse surged in my heart.

Because the person he saw was one of the three charlatans he encountered in the northern suburbs of Jincheng...

The first person Lin Feng saw was the fake monk.

His bald head and fat body make him easily recognizable among the crowd.

This guy and the leader of the trio, the young Taoist priest, said after being driven out of Jincheng by him that he would come to the federal capital to look for other so-called "destined people".

Now that he is here, it means the other two are here too.

Thinking of the so-called Doomsday Cult of the other party, it seems to be exactly the same as the Insect Cult founded by Jiang Yuner with the support of the Zerg Queen. Except for the different objects of worship, they are similar.

Now, more than a month has passed, and this group of guys can still appear here, which means they entered the city long before the Queen Mother surrounded the capital.

More than a month of development time...

Lin Feng was not surprised that with this group of guys' ability to play tricks, they developed tens or even hundreds of thousands of followers.

And this spiritual power of faith, after being absorbed and infused by the fake monk's special ability, was passed on to the young Taoist leader of the trio... let alone breaking through the second stage's upper limit of one thousand.

Lin Feng felt that it was very possible to reach the level of perfection in the initial stage of the third stage.

If this is the case, with the other party's powerful abilities, he will definitely be able to detect any abnormalities in the city.

Now that Longyi is not around, he cannot offer any advice. Perhaps these people stayed here because they already had a plan to break the impasse?

Lin Feng murmured to himself for a while. Since he had no idea at the moment, he might as well ask them.

After making up his mind, the tiny figure standing on the high wall disappeared with a whoosh.

The next moment, a young man wearing black sportswear and a circle of golden arm guards on his arms suddenly appeared in the crowded crowd outside the entrance.

At this moment, more and more people in the city began to rush towards the entrances and exits.

Seeing this, many smart people would rather take a detour, walk four or five kilometers, and go to the exit under the defense wall.

Then they have to go around a big circle and finally catch up with the breakout troops in the northwest direction to have a chance of escaping.

Lin Feng concealed his breath, let down his folded sleeves to cover the golden arm guard on his arm so as not to attract attention, and then blended into the crowd and approached the place where the fake monk was without making any noise.

Soon, as the two sides got closer, Lin Feng, with his powerful sensory organs, eavesdropped on their conversation from a distance of a hundred meters in the extremely noisy environment.

"Lord Buddha, the thread has come to report that the leader of that group of pagans has suddenly disappeared. The scene was very bloody. All the second-level gene warriors who were responsible for protecting her died tragically. It is estimated that they were attacked by a group of powerful people."

"They suspect it has something to do with General Qin in the South District."

The fake monk who was revered as the Lord Buddha smiled even more:

"Okay, okay, God is helping our religion. I will go and tell the Son of Prophecy about this news."

"I'll leave this place to you. When the time is right, launch an operation to seize the entrance and exit checkpoints, release our believers, and leave in advance."

"A great disaster is coming. Believe in God's teachings and you will find a way to survive."

After saying that, the fake monk slowly stood up. He was actually about two meters and five centimeters tall, with fat on his waist and belly that extended above his knees. He wore a Buddhist robe that he had stolen from somewhere, but it could barely cover up his fat body.

Before, Lin Feng saw that he was only about 1.8 meters tall, and as big as a pumpkin under the cassock. He thought he was just that tall, but he didn't expect that he had expanded to this height after not seeing him for a month.

When the people nearby saw this giant that looked like a Buddha statue, they all looked at him in surprise and stepped back.

There are countless awakened people in the capital city, and many of them have very special abilities, such as fire, ice, etc. There are also many who can change their body shape like the fake monk.

You'll get used to it after seeing it so many times.

In addition, although the other party has a kind face, the strong aura he exudes makes him not easy to mess with.

As the fake monk left in a conspicuous manner, the results of the identification also emerged in Lin Feng's eyes:

"Lord Buddha, lv29/29"

"HP 980, Vt 910, SPR 990"

"Super Power Awakening - Mind Grab"

"Spiritual Grab: Can extract 40% of the spiritual energy of nearby peers and use it for yourself, or output it to a designated peer."

"Note: The extraction and output of spiritual energy requires both parties to voluntarily accept it, and will bring about the cost of mental fatigue or excessive physical burden."

"Note: The target is constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of the people nearby. The body has accumulated more than 1500 spiritual energy points. The additional spiritual attribute reserve value is +1500."

After reading the other party's attribute appraisal, Lin Feng raised his eyebrows. It turned out that this capital city was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The trio had only been here for more than a month, and they had upgraded several times faster than most awakeners.

Although it is also related to the intensity of the battle here, in order to advance to the late second stage, one must actually kill more than fifty second-stage Zergs.

It seems that the strength of the three charlatans has been raised to an incredible level due to the faith and offerings of their believers.

After all, physical constitution can be quickly restored by eating and drinking enough, but the awakened ones, especially those with superpowers, have depleted spiritual energy, which can only be replenished through deep brain hibernation.

This means that with the help of the fake monk, one only needs to grab the spiritual energy of a large number of believers to ensure that he and the top leaders of the cult have a steady supply of energy to invest in the development of the church and front-line fighting.

Especially when the three-person team cooperates with each other, they only need to use their spiritual energy to continuously deduce, and they can even achieve a 100% predictive effect of avoiding disasters and seeking blessings, and understanding the pros and cons.

No wonder the young Taoist priest was determined to jump into the fire pit of the federal capital.

Because there is no other place in the world that can gather so many survivors, and because of the threat of death, the urgency of seeking spiritual sustenance in this high-pressure environment has led to a crazy increase in their followers...

Moreover, due to the turbulent situation, those in power had no intention of investigating and suppressing them.

At this moment, Lin Feng, who was following the fake monk and looking into the distance, had a flash of golden light in his eyes.

In the telepathy released, the bright light source displayed by the other party was seen, like the mouth of a siphon, absorbing almost imperceptible traces of energy from the dim light sources of the nearby believers.

As the fake monk gained more and more fat, but the fat was as light as a feather and he did not feel bloated when he walked.

The surface of the skin is also crystal clear, like the texture of mutton-fat jade.

Lin Feng knew that fat was where he stored his spiritual energy.

He is like a hardworking bee collecting honey. After inhaling the brew, he brings clear and sweet spiritual nectar to the queen bee of the hive.

Unfortunately, the price of doing so is to overdraw most of its vitality. Just like a power bank, it has a limited service life because of the repeated charging and discharging process.

The fake monk was out of breath after walking a few steps. His tiredness was not from the weight of his fat body, but from the mental burden of maintaining his supernatural powers.

He looked back from time to time and exchanged glances with the second-level awakeners who were secretly protecting him nearby. After confirming that he was not being followed, he sneaked into a secret manor in the capital city.

This used to be a private golf course.

Not only is it surrounded by mountains and water, with green grass on the edge of the land, it also has a high-end castle villa.

Very suitable for the development of religion.

Normally, even if thousands or tens of thousands of believers gather together, the place will not feel crowded.

Lin Feng hid behind a tree and knocked out those second-level awakeners when he was far away from the crowd.

The fake monk looked back and saw no sign of the guard. He was suspicious, but then he realized he had reached his destination, so he moved forward with confidence, but quickened his pace.

Soon, Lin Feng saw him enter the gray-white manor villa from the side, and then met the second important person of the trio:
A blind fortune teller sitting on the second-floor balcony, basking in the sun.

"Human, lv29/29, extremely weak"

"HP 550, Vt 850, SPR 990"

"Super Power Awakening - Glimpse of Destiny"

"Glimpse into destiny: Consume a certain amount of spiritual energy and your own vitality to calculate the probability of a certain event happening"

"Note: Using this ability will consume your vitality permanently. Each activation will reduce your upper limit of health. Please use it with caution."

"Note: This ability can confirm what may happen in the past, present, and future."

"Evaluation: For a person who can predict fate, he cannot see his own destiny. And his last attempt to peek into fate at the cost of his life is inevitable."

The blind fortune teller has been overdrawn so badly...

Where is that young Taoist priest, Zhang Tianming? !
