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

Chapter 74 Humans, submit to me!
Cheng Zhan, carrying a whole bag of mortar shells, fell into the mud and crawled towards the Queen Mother with difficulty.

On the way, he saw his teammates who had fallen into the insect pit before him. Most of them were still in a coma, and a few who had reached level 19 like him woke up in a daze.

Among them is the Demoman in the team.

He saw Cheng Zhan's desperate move forward, and instantly understood what the captain meant, and whispered a reminder:
"Captain Cheng, this is useless..."

"You have to remove the safety fuse on your head, and then use this to detonate it."

As he spoke, the Demoman took out two pieces of standard clay explosives from his backpack:

"C4, use this, it's powerful!"

Cheng Zhan took the explosives and stuffed them into his bag. He used the grenade clenched in his hand to exchange the detonator of the C4 explosives with his teammate. Then, he removed the safety fuse of the mortar shell in the bag as he was told. Finally, he glanced at the unconscious teammate nearby and told the demolitionist:
"Hold it steady."

"This is all a trap set by the Queen Mother. I am sorry for everyone. Don't let them go in too much pain."

The Demoman spat out a mouthful of mud and nodded seriously.

Cheng Zhan took a deep breath, lowered his head and continued to crawl forward.

His ability is quite special. In addition to certain physical enhancements, it also has the special effect of concealment.

As the most elite soldier in the special forces, Cheng Zhan is extremely talented in camouflage, which enables him to awaken superpowers that can conceal his aura and blend into the environment. Ordinary black-backed beetles cannot detect him, let alone the lower-level red beetles.

This was his hidden trump card, which he gradually discovered during the battle.

The stealth ability did not last long, just like the improvement in his physical fitness, it could only last for a few minutes and was not enough to support him in escaping from the underground insect nest.

But it can be the last resort to fight back against the Queen Mother.

As he was slowly approaching, he suddenly heard screams from his teammates behind him. Looking back, he saw arthropod tentacles as thick as his arms piercing the shoulders of his unconscious teammate behind him.

Awakened by the piercing pain, they let out heart-wrenching howls.

There were countless level 9 red beetles, each with a pair of two-meter-long folded chelicerae. At this moment, they pierced into the shoulder sockets of the special forces members, as if they were lifting pieces of clothing and sending them to the Queen Mother.

Some people wanted to resist, but two fists were no match for four hands. Even if they were late-stage first-order awakeners, after breaking free from their restraints, they still could not move forward amid the countless insect swarms.

In particular, the unknown and terrifying high-pressure underground environment and the multiple scars on their bodies caused their physical and mental state to continue to deteriorate.

During this time, several level 19 ruthless guys suddenly exerted their strength, directly broke the red beetle's chelicerae, and landed on the red beetle's carapace, trying to escape from here.

When they use their physical enhancement abilities, they can burst out to their extreme state and enhance their physical fitness by an additional 30%.

The upper limit of 150 can be infinitely close to the basic physique of 200 of the second-level tiger spine worm after additional stacking.

With such powerful strength and speed, it is naturally very easy for him to shuttle through the low-level red beetles.

Another benefit of a strong physique is the rapid recovery of physical injuries.

As long as the wounds caused by the chelicerae do not endanger the internal organs and brain, they can solidify and form scabs in a short time to prevent further deterioration.

With their super eyesight, illuminated by the bright green light of the cave, they found four or five entrances leading to the outside world.

Just when several people saw hope.

The familiar figure from before appeared again.

But this time it’s no longer just one, but a group!
More than a dozen tiger-backed worms are squatting at the entrance and exit of the mother's nest. As the queen's personal guards, they are responsible for protecting the safety of the mother's nest at all times.

Naturally, she would not allow the prey, which she had already caught, to escape from the Queen Mother's mouth.

Immediately, these level 19 special forces were beaten back by the tiger spine insect's pair of six or seven meter long jaws. They fell heavily among the countless red beetles, and the wounds on their shoulders that had just scabbed over were pierced again. The continuous heart-wrenching pain almost made them faint again.

Among them, the demolitionist who was holding the grenade tightly, pulled out the pull ring of the fragmentation grenade in his hand, and it flew into the group of red beetles, making only a dull sound.

Although the red beetle was killed directly, the power was also absorbed by its carapace.

As the last bit of resistance was suppressed, the members of the special operations team were rushed to the Queen Mother by the swarm of red beetles.

This high-level Zerg, whose head alone is more than 32 meters tall, was the level Zerg queen that raided the southern suburbs of Haicheng City and wanted to encircle the th Division of Lu with another high-level Zerg.

At this moment, after dividing up half of Haicheng City, it has successfully entered level 33, and its size has increased a bit. It is only half of Wucheng's biomass away from breaking through to level 34.

In order to reduce the losses in this battle, the Queen Mother not only needs to absorb a large number of human brains, read their memories, and learn about human strategic layout, but also needs to plant some spies as internal support.

Unfortunately, there has never been such a good opportunity.

Either the captured humans were too weak to withstand the parasitism and her mental control, or the status of the captured humans was too low to access the key information of human defense deployment.

Until now, it has finally waited for such an opportunity.

After watching the interesting struggles of humans, the Queen Mother directly asked her slaves to send the level 19 escapees.

Then, several long, wriggling tentacles as thick as thighs came out of its mouth. The ends of the tentacles split into five petals, each of which was covered with sharp barb-like blades.

These specialized mouthparts were very sensitive and quickly grabbed the lv19 escaper by the head.

The barbed blades pierced into their scalps and locked tightly, then dozens of needle-like spikes emerged from them, like enlarged versions of mosquito mouthparts, piercing into the brains of these escapees.

The pain in the brain has overwhelmed the tearing of the scalp, but these poor special forces soldiers have lost the ability to speak. They watched helplessly as their brains were sucked away, and even their nervous systems were gradually controlled by the Queen Mother.

During this period, Cheng Zhan hid on the ground and watched his teammates die tragically one after another from the Queen Mother's intake of energy. He soon realized that the Queen Mother's wisdom was far beyond human imagination.

The high-level Zerg are fully aware of the human situation, and even this exploratory action was already within their expectations.

From the beginning to the end, it was a trap carefully laid for them!
Fear, terror, mixed with anger, made Cheng Zhan unable to bear it any longer, so he struggled to get up and pounced on the queen mother who was less than fifty meters away from him.

However, at this moment, dozens of red beetles seemed to be prepared and blocked in front of him, pinning him to the ground.

The hundreds of eyeballs on the queen's head in front of him were all directed at the human being pinned down by the red beetle.

Cheng Zhan just felt his brain froze!
Under the pressure of the powerful aura, even the thinking process became blocked.

Immediately afterwards, under the command of the Queen Mother, Cheng Zhan, who was almost unconscious, was pierced through the shoulder by the red beetle's chelicerae and brought in front of it.

After observing the human in front of her for a while, the Queen Mother let out a satisfied sound, and then withdrew the powerful mental power that was gathered on him.

When Cheng Zhan woke up, he immediately looked at his arm which was almost unconscious. Fortunately, he had kept the detonator in his hand tightly clenched.

He is now thirty meters away from the Queen Mother in front of him. If he detonates it directly at this time, he will not be able to hurt the other party at all.

It needs to be closer, preferably close together.

Just as he was using his remaining consciousness to continue executing his plan of mutual destruction, the tentacles that the Queen Mother spit out from her big mouth, and the few teammates caught at the end, suddenly spoke:

"You are their superior, and you seem to have great prestige among humans..."

"So humans...submit to me!"
