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

Chapter 7: Making a Red Shield and Capturing Experiments
During the time at his sister-in-law's house, Lin Feng has experimented many times. There are actually relatively few types of items that can be identified as upgradeable by the system, and they are basically simple weapons.

Like the smartphone in his pocket, a purely auxiliary technological product, although it was identified as red quality, there was no method or route for upgrading it.

You don't have to use your phone to kill bugs.

Fortunately, these are not very important. The red carapace in Lin Feng’s hand is the key to saving his life.

The handmade iron shield did not trigger the appraisal because it was too crude and could not even be rated as white quality.

But the carapace of the red beetle should be able to do it.

Surprisingly, this four-centimeter-thick carapace is extremely hard and invulnerable to swords and guns, but it is very light when held in the hand.

It weighs only four or five pounds, like a foam board.

Its surface exudes a metallic luster. It is not the chitinous material of the exoskeleton of blue star insects, but some kind of biological alloy.

If you hit it with a knife, it will make a crisp sound.

When Lin Feng used the identification, the result quickly emerged:
"Red beetle carapace, white quality"

"Evaluation: This is the only valuable part of the Scarlet Beetle. It is hard and can be used to make a shield."

Although it showed that it was not possible to upgrade directly, Lin Feng still smiled when he saw the last few words of the evaluation.

Being able to make a shield means there is still a chance.

However, this carapace is extremely hard, and even a pistol bullet can only leave a shallow mark on its surface. If you want to make it into a shield, you have to use a small electric drill.

When Lin Feng was looking for the wire just now, he saw several tool boxes in the locker on the balcony. Among them was the small electric drill he needed, which was equipped with a modular lithium battery and did not require additional power supply.

These are the basic tools needed for construction. Although Lin Youzhi is dead, he left behind many good things. This is why Lin Feng wanted to go to his sister-in-law's house in the beginning.

In addition to promising to take good care of his sister-in-law, the convenient tools in Lin Youzhi's house are also one of Lin Feng's goals.

It's a pity that I didn't find a chainsaw.

Otherwise you'll have an extra melee weapon.

Lin Feng, wearing a back armor, handed the bone-chopping knife to Chen Yanyan beside him and instructed:
"If you don't mind being disgusted, dissect it and see if you can find anything else."

Chen Yanyan was just about to ask why Lin Feng's parents disappeared, but seeing that he was not very interested in this topic, she took the bone-cutting knife and cut the thin membrane under the giant insect's carapace.

Lin Feng went to the balcony, took out the electric drill from the toolbox, replaced it with an eight millimeter thick drill bit, and started drilling.

Thirty minutes later, after using up a drill bit, he finally managed to drill a dozen holes on the carapace. He then used nylon rope from the locker to tie the holes and secure a piece of leather belt.

A handheld shield is done.

Lin Feng named it the Red Armor Shield.

After scanning it, it turned out to be just as he expected:
"Red Armor Shield lv2/9, white quality"

"Durability: 9/10, Defense 10"

"Evaluation: A simple shield. Pay attention to its durability. Collect similar materials and upgrade it."

Lin Feng smiled. The upgrade of defensive items was different from that of swords and guns. He had to collect more carapaces.

Now that I have the Red Armor Shield in my hand, at least I don’t have to worry about direct attacks from insects. My defense is greatly improved.

The iron shield in front was no match for the red beetle's chelicerae and was almost destroyed by a single blow.

Lin Feng returned to the living room holding a shield. Zhang Yurou had already walked out of the bathroom and saw Chen Yanyan squatting on the ground, stirring the remains of the giant insect with a knife.

The internal organs were rotten and gave off some kind of indescribable strange smell.

Unfortunately, there was no gain in the end. Chen Yanyan only found a gray-white sac, which looked like a fish bladder, but was empty inside.

Zhang Yurou looked a little worried and asked:
"Xiaofeng, what should we do now? The building is surrounded by bugs and it's not safe to go out."

Lin Feng took out his pistol and the magazine. He had fired three bullets before and now had one more, leaving ten. He replaced the full magazine with a spare one and said to his sister-in-law:

"Sister Yurou, where is the other car at home?"

Zhang Yurou's eyes lit up. After Lin Youzhi bought a new car, he did not sell the Land Rover SUV he had been driving for five years, but left it to her for shopping.

At this moment, the old Land Rover was parked next to the building. If we drove away, it would undoubtedly be much safer on the road.

Understanding Lin Feng's meaning, Zhang Yurou quickly walked to the entrance and took out a bunch of car keys from the box. This was the key to their escape.

Lin Feng nodded. Fortunately, his sister-in-law's family was really rich. If he didn't have a car, he wouldn't know how to escape from the community during the insect swarm attack.

Now all they had to do was ensure that the three of them would not be surrounded by the swarm of insects in the short twenty-odd meters from leaving the building to entering the car.

Lin Feng planned to take advantage of the favorable terrain inside the building to gain more upgrade points, especially carapace materials.

The Red Armor Shield is very useful, it is best for everyone to have one.

This way, you will have extra protection if you encounter any danger during your subsequent escape.

After he told the two girls his idea, they also agreed deeply. After all, it was still nearly twenty hours before the rescue arrived, and it only took three kilometers to drive to Haicheng University across two blocks.

If everything goes well, it will only take seven or eight minutes at most. And if Lin Feng has two more red armor shields, Zhang Yurou and Chen Yanyan won't have to worry about being hurt by insects when they swing their swords.

After making up their minds, the three of them got ready to go again.

Lin Feng looked at the gun in his hand. It already had 5 upgrade points at this moment, and he only needed 5 more points to upgrade to level 3, at which time the additional attributes would also be enhanced.

Don't worry about the number of bullets.

After stepping out of the house holding the red armor shield, Lin Feng took the two women back to outside 201 and planned to release a bug first, which would be easier to solve and less risky.

The red beetle is not very strong, and its main means of attack is the rapid ejection and hammering of its chelicerae, which can break human leg bones. Therefore, as long as you hide behind the door and lower your shield, you will be very safe.

Lin Feng found the key to the room from the dead woman's pocket, put his shield in front of him, and slowly opened the door. Through the gap, he could see that there was only one red beetle in the room, which was the one that had just attacked Lin Feng.

Moreover, it was a level 4 giant insect, with a full ten points more HP than the one I killed before, so its size was also slightly larger, about two meters and three meters long...

At this moment it is chewing the fruit on the coffee table.

It seems that bugs eat everything.

But obviously, flesh and blood, which have higher nutritional value, are more attractive to them.

When the smell of blood entered the room through the crack in the door, the red beetle that was eating the pear smelled the bloody smell and immediately crawled over, leaning against the crack in the door and sniffing around.

Lin Feng reminded in a low voice:

"Get ready to back off!"

Then he opened the door and hid behind it, leaving a space of thirty to forty centimeters so that the red beetle could crawl out sideways. Then he kicked the door shut, knocking it down with its carapace touching the ground, exposing its vulnerable abdomen.

Realizing the danger, the red beetle struggled frantically, trying to turn over.

The gun in Lin Feng's hand had been aimed for a long time.

Three shots in succession broke three legs on one side of the red beetle. Unable to turn over, it fell to the ground, still struggling.

Lin Feng used his shield as a shield, took the long knife handed to him by Zhang Yurou, and chopped off the pair of chelicerae near the giant insect's mouth, causing 8 points of damage.

In this way, the threat of the red beetle was finally completely eliminated.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Feng asked the two women to try it as well.

Use the shield to defend, and swing the sword from the side to chop the remaining three legs of the giant insect.

Zhang Yurou was feeling depressed, so she volunteered to pick up the long knife and chopped it hard.

Seeing her become bolder and gradually overcome her inner fear, Lin Feng felt relieved.

As long as you take the first step bravely, you will be able to fight against the red beetle.

But he also kept an eye on the insect's health.

"Red Beetle, lv4/9"

"HP 12, Vt 7, SPR 2"

The level 4 Red Beetle had 40 health points. After Lin Feng shot down 12 of its health points with three shots, it had 28 points left. Then the two used their long swords to chop off 16 points, leaving only 12 points.

At this time, the red beetle had collapsed to the ground, hissing, and dying.

"That's enough! Don't kill him."

Seeing that Zhang Yurou had no intention of stopping, Lin Feng quickly reached out and grabbed her arm to stop her from continuing to swing.

Zhang Yurou paused, gasping for air, her bulging yoga vest rising and falling, sweat dripping on the valley of her chest, the intense chopping made her sweat profusely.

Zhang Yurou gradually calmed down and found that she was too nervous and her emotions became a little extreme. She obeyed Lin Feng's order and put down the long sword.

Watching the red beetle's screaming and snarling, Zhang Yurou took a deep breath:

"Why...why not kill it!"

Lin Feng shook his head, took the long sword, and explained:

"We need to study the giant insect's weaknesses..."

"Killing one or two bugs is no use; knowing how to kill them quickly is the key."

At this time, the long sword gained four upgrade points, becoming 7/10, and Lin Feng's pistol also gained three points, showing 8/10. Only two shots are left to upgrade.

If it's a headshot, one shot will do.

But Lin Feng’s real purpose is naturally not just research. What’s more important than saving the red beetle’s life is to maximize its surplus value.

As a veteran gamer, Lin Feng adheres to the principle of developing slowly and leveling up crazily...

Decided to start my first attempt to see how to get the most out of the products.
