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

Chapter 68: Refusal, Cover, TNT
Glancing at the nervous woman behind him, Lin Feng shook his head at Cheng Zhan, apologetically:
"Forget it. I didn't want to get involved in this matter in the first place, but Qin Hu insisted that I come forward and be responsible for providing long-range fire support in the rear."

"I have just entered the late stage of the first stage. I still need to kill more than a dozen black-spine insects before I can reach the peak of the first stage."

"I will not take part in this adventure."

"If you succeed, remember to take me with you next time..."

As he spoke, a look of longing and regret emerged on Lin Feng's face.

Cheng Zhan laughed and was not angry because of Lin Feng's refusal. As an outsider, he was originally excluded from the plan.

It was just that Cheng Zhan had a sudden impulse when he saw that he had actually entered the late first stage.

Being rejected now is also expected.

This dangerous mission is entirely voluntary.

Cheng Zhan doesn't want anyone to back out halfway, which would harm the entire team.

So even though many of his old teammates in the Awakener Camp also rejected him, Cheng Zhan still didn't care too much.

Although the young man in front of him was very cautious, Cheng Zhan still had something to ask:
"It's okay. You are still young and have a long way to go. There is no need to rush."

"Unlike us, we are bound by this clothing."

"By the way, if you don't come with us, there's something I hope you can help me with."

Lin Feng still needed the important information that the other party brought back, so he agreed:

"Okay, if I can help, just ask."

Cheng Zhan nodded and said softly:
"If we just barge in like this, we will be easily discovered by the Zerg, surrounded and caught in the trap."

"So I need you to help us cover, just like the diversionary mission you completed last time. As long as you can attract the Queen Mother's attention, you can help us buy some safe time to act."

Lin Feng frowned slightly. This task was neither simple nor difficult.

How to grasp this degree is very important.

The swarm of black-backed insects attracted was only in the hundreds or thousands, so they could still be dealt with. But if there were thousands of black-backed insects, even Lin Feng now would not be able to fight against them on his own.

Especially since the red beetles have already pushed the wormhole to three or four kilometers outside the actual territory of the Zerg, it is very likely that Lin Feng is frantically harvesting insects in a deeper area, while suddenly, swarms of black-backed insects emerge from the rear.

Surrounded from front and back, there is no way to escape.

This is also the reason why when Lin Feng was upgrading the RV yesterday, he only caught the more valuable live insects. After filling the trunk, he could obviously remove the giant jaws of the dead insects and tie them to the roof of the RV, but he didn't bother to do it.

Out of caution, Lin Feng would not let himself stay in the Zerg hinterland for too long. Although doing so would only allow him to level up in one or two days, his safety would be greatly improved.

The Zerg are not idiots. The Queen is definitely smarter than humans, and the support speed of the black-spined worms will only get faster and faster.

It's okay to do this a few times, but if it continues for a long time, Lin Feng is afraid that he will capsize in the ditch in the later stage.

And what Cheng Zhan wants now is to let Lin Feng stay at the front line for a while longer to help him buy time.

Although this is not as dangerous as going deep into the Zerg hive, it is not something that ordinary people can accomplish.

The other party obviously saw that Lin Feng had successfully completed the containment mission once and wanted him to replicate it again.

Seeing the embarrassment on Lin Feng's face, Cheng Zhan raised his hand and patted his shoulder:

"Don't worry, you just need to bring the female star back. As for these people, let them attract the Zerg's attention."

"You don't have to fight too much. After severely injuring a hundred black-spine insects at once, just run away."

"With this number, the Queen Mother will definitely be able to control thousands of black-spine insects to surround us."

"Then we can get closer to the depths of the nest and find the hidden second-level tiger spine worm."

Lin Feng thought for a long time, struggled for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

This show-like mission activity actually has little to do with the female celebrity, but is instead a first attempt at the Zerg hive.

Seeing that the young man finally agreed, Cheng Zhan finally showed a happy smile on his face and returned to the car with his upper body:
"Okay, without further ado, make your final preparations and we'll be leaving in fifteen minutes."

Seeing two jeeps going away, their vehicles were equipped with various heavy weapons, including four machine guns. Lin Feng also caught a glimpse of two 100mm mortars hidden under the camouflage cloth. This firepower was more than enough to deal with the pursuit of hundreds of black-backed insects.

It seems that they are not acting on their own, there is someone supporting them behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng shook his head gently, turned around and came to the luxury RV, looked at the melancholy-looking female star behind the window, and said:

"You have seen the situation. Their main task is not to help you catch live insects. It seems that this filming and your super power awakening all depend on my mood." A trace of indignation flashed across Jiang Yuner's face, and she picked up her phone to make a complaint.

Lin Feng shook his head:
"Don't struggle. You don't have any actual evidence. They are an elite team from the Thirteenth Division. They are all awakened people in the late first stage or even perfect stage. The higher-ups can't control them."

"And whether it's the top management or the research institute, for this mission, exploring the mother nest is far more important than putting on a show."

Jiang Yuner didn't believe it and made several calls in a row. When she heard the standard terminology reply from the other end, she felt a little desperate:
"Couldn't they send another team?"

"Is there no one left in the Thirteenth Division?"

"Can we not go?"

Lin Feng shrugged and held up two fingers:
"This mission may not have been reported to the top, so it cannot be seen before it is successfully completed. We can only use this as a cover."

"Of course, there is another reason. You have no room to refuse and you must go."

After saying this, Lin Feng spread his hands:
"There are still fourteen minutes left. Have your people prepare quickly if you still want to complete the complete awakening."

"Remember not to come here to take advantage of the traffic next time. The Thirteenth Division is not your base. Except for the top leaders who are trying to save face, no one cares about your life or death."

"Oh, by the way, except for this guy Qin Hu."

"If he hadn't begged me to take over, your safety would be almost zero."

"So those earrings worth hundreds of thousands of dollars are really worth it. Don't feel bad about it."

Jiang Yuner wanted to say a few more words to Lin Feng, begging him to help her complete her awakening, but unfortunately after he finished speaking, he walked towards the repair shop in the distance without looking back.

Back in the RV under the tarpaulin, Lin Feng put on his clothes while explaining the current situation to Chen Yanyan.

Chen Yanyan had already made preparations and covered the rooftop observation deck. She was now sitting in the driver's seat ready to go. When she heard her man worrying about the cover mission, she couldn't help but frowned:

"Would you like to take some of the 100 kilograms of explosives that Hu Fei sent last time?"

"That C4 clay explosive isn't very powerful. He said one piece of it could bring down a five-story building."

The last time Lin Feng was able to create a miracle of blocking and seriously injure hundreds of black-backed insects in an instant, it was all thanks to the terrifying power of the gasoline bomb.

Nowadays, we have upgraded our rifles to cannons and directly use high-energy explosives, which can create a shocking explosion more safely and stably.

After hearing Chen Yanyan's reminder, Lin Feng thought for a moment.

Hu Fei doesn't have much of these explosives anymore, and he doesn't know when the next delivery will be. Moreover, disposable items like these cannot be upgraded.

After all, after the explosion, there is nothing left.

Lin Feng originally planned to bury the 100 kilograms of explosives near the service area. If the Wucheng blocking battle could not be sustained, it could be used to clear the area and blast a way to escape from the insect swarm.

At this moment, the explosives are hidden in the basement of the repair shop. Lin Feng dare not carry them in the car at all times. If there is any spark, even if the RV has been upgraded to level 19, it will be destroyed in an instant.

But this cover mission would undoubtedly be much easier with the help of high-energy explosives.

Especially when blocking a large army of black-spined worms, the instantaneous firepower coverage of machine guns is far less terrifying than explosives.

Moreover, explosives can directly collapse wormholes. As long as they can be placed in key locations, they may have miraculous effects.

Lin Feng thought for a while, nodded, got out of the RV, and brought back ten pieces of yellow explosives from the basement of the repair shop.

Although ten kilograms of TNT yellow explosives are not as powerful as C4 clay explosives of the same weight, it can still easily deal with hundreds of black-backed worms.

As long as he can take advantage of this opportunity and accumulate enough upgrade points, Lin Feng's level 17 howitzer and level 13 armed RV will get another leap forward.

Using ten kilograms of TNT to exchange for a large number of upgrade points is completely worth the money.

Moreover, Cheng Zhan needed him to be on the front battlefield to tie down the black-backed insect army and the Queen Mother's attention, but Lin Feng also knew that the threat from Cheng Zhan could attract more attention from the Queen Mother.

As long as a battle breaks out near the mother nest in the rear, Lin Feng's frontal pressure will be greatly reduced.

At least there wouldn't be thousands or tens of thousands of black-backed insects swarming out and attacking him.

The containment and protection between the two are mutual.

After making up his mind, Lin Feng decided to seize this critical opportunity, even if it required taking a little risk.

What's more, his real purpose is not just some upgrade points. The big star in the luxury RV behind him is also one of his targets.

After returning to the RV, Lin Feng heard the horn outside urging him to go, and he immediately spoke:
"Let's go and let these bugs have a taste of the power of the armed RV!"
