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

Chapter 96: New Soldiers Combat Training, Stress Test

Tons of frozen chicken and duck meat gave off a fishy smell after thawing, along with splashes of blood.

Soon it attracted a large number of red beetles, which poked their heads out from the newly dug holes.

Simply eating plants and wood is not enough to provide them with complete nutrition. They need to eat flesh and blood to obtain many trace elements.

Inside the packaging boxes being carried out by the recruits at this moment were bags of frozen chicken. Blood was leaching out of the ice, dyeing the thawing water red.

Following the instructions of Shen Jie and others, they cut open the plastic bag outside the wormhole entrance and sprinkled blood, continuously attracting the red beetles to leave the hole.

This way there is a chance to shoot and wipe them out.

As the swarm of red beetles climbed onto the road and away from the wormhole, the first batch of recruits had already loaded their bullets and raised their rifles to aim at the bugs' heads.

There were more than fifty red beetles, gnawing and filtering the blood-soaked soil on the ground.

At Shen Jie's command, dozens of gunshots rang out one after another. Many of the fifty recruits were shot in the head with two or three shots, completing their first kill.

But there were also times when they missed opportunities due to nervousness, startling the red beetles and causing them to whoosh and run back to the cave entrance.

Fortunately, Shen Jie and his colleagues had been paying attention to the situation within their team. As long as any red beetles escaped, they would just shoot and break their abdominal legs.

Don't let any one go.

Once we let them escape and give the message, it will not be as easy to attract the red beetles out of the hole next time.

Just like fishing for lobsters, red beetles are timid by nature in the wild today, so we want to hunt them continuously and try not to let panic spread.

The broken-legged red beetles that fell to the ground were handed over by Shen Jie and his men to the new recruits who had not yet been upgraded, and they were shot to death one by one.

According to Lin Feng's arrangement, every recruit should experience the feeling of strengthening and upgrading in the first two days, so as to at least safely pass the weakest initial stage.

Once everyone reaches level 4 or above tomorrow, I will no longer be a full-time babysitter. Let them learn to trap and kill insects by themselves.

Whether to cooperate to kill or act alone is entirely up to them.

Captains like Shen Jie are only responsible for dealing with the sudden swarm of black-backed insects.

As for the flying wing chariot parked nearby, Lin Feng and Chen Yanyan, in addition to finding out the movements of the black-winged insect swarm, also had to deal with the possible appearance of the green-winged insects and the extremely low probability of a second-level tiger-winged insect squad.

Lin Feng certainly hopes that the latter can emerge again.

The level 19 howitzer in his hand and the level 20 Flying Tiger Armor on his body have been waiting for a long time and are impatient.

It’s a pity that since the last time they made their debut, they were hit head-on by Qin Hu. No trace of tiger-backed worms has been seen since then, either on the highway or on the several kilometers of front line of the battlefield.

I guess the Queen Mother is also very sad about the loss of the second-level Zerg.

They cannot be mass-produced and rely entirely on the cumulative evolution of low-level insects.

So each one is very precious.

Otherwise, there would not have been a fierce battle over the tiger-backed worm's corpse, which would have caused Qin Hu to lose his left leg.

This is rare good news for humans. After all, a second-level tiger-spine worm, which is as big as a small building, is definitely a weapon to break the stalemate.

If the second-level Zerg, like the black-spined Zerg, attacks in overwhelming numbers, humans will have no chance of winning.

But for Lin Feng, it was a long wait.

He was waiting for the second-level Zerg to show up, so that he could complete the second-level awakening after killing it. At the same time, he would have an orange-quality equipment, which would allow the replication ability to shine.

Unfortunately, such opportunities are often hard to come by.

During the waiting period, the ones who gained the most were the ninety-six recruits from the 201st Company. After one round, they had basically killed one or two red beetles.

Feeling the strengthening effect brought by the warm current flowing into their bodies, they were ecstatic and became more enthusiastic about shedding flesh and blood to lure the red beetles and killing the bugs.

After all, the rumors were verified on his own body. The sudden increase in strength in his arms couldn't be faked.

Lin Feng looked at their impatient expressions and recalled his experience in Haicheng City, when he was surrounded by insects and killed them to become stronger. He was suddenly filled with emotion.

It seems easy for them to upgrade now, but once they encounter a swarm of black-spine insects, they will surely die.

Soon, hundreds of red beetles died within a hundred meters, attracting the attention of the black-spine beetle patrol. They are now strengthened, with each group having more than fifty to deal with a human company of a hundred people.

In this way, even if the two sides are fighting, the Zerg side can achieve certain results. It will not be like before, where more than 20 black-spined insects were eliminated one by one by the machine guns under the suppression of rifle fire before they could rush to the front.

Before the new recruits were aware of the threat, Shen Jie and several other awakened ones received advance notice from Lin Feng. With their enhanced vision, they had already seen a swarm of pitch-black black-backed insects a thousand meters away.

The number is far greater than that of ordinary patrol teams.

They raised their large-caliber rifles and fired suppressive shots to attract the swarm of black-backed insects.

When the black-backed worms approached within 500 meters, the strengthened recruits finally saw a black shadow approaching at a high speed, and they all showed terrified looks.

They have not seen the black-backed beetle in person, but from the front-line videos on the Internet, they have already known how terrifying this soldier insect is.

Each black-backed insect is like a light tank. It is far beyond the ability of ordinary humans to deal with, and ordinary firearms can hardly cause effective damage to it.

Only awakened ones armed with heavy weapons, or special awakened ones with powerful superpowers, can fight against it.

But according to what the instructor said before, even for the awakened ones, it would be difficult to escape safely when surrounded by several black-backed insects. Now the number in front of them exceeds dozens, and there are only eight team captains on their side.

Eight awakened ones against dozens of black-backed insects.

The results are obvious!

Many people have already thought about retreating, and some even suggested to Shen Jie and others that they drive away.

But Shen Jie looked at these new recruits who were beginning to have the intention of quitting with a keen eye. Deserters who left their posts on the battlefield were the most hateful and unforgivable mistake.

The rage was released along with the powerful aura of the awakened one. Just a cold snort frightened the group of recruits, who dared not retreat even a single step.

"What are you afraid of!"

"Everyone, get in formation, follow the captain's command, and continue shooting as planned!"

Shen Jie shouted loudly that what they were training now was the courage of the new recruits, which was more important than improving their personal strength.

Especially now we are not inside the fortress.

There is no protection in the wild.

If the recruits can persist in this way, their psychological quality will be greatly improved.

When the battle breaks out, even when facing hundreds or thousands of black-spine insects, they can hold their posts and ensure the continuous output of each firepower point.

Under the command of Shen Jie and others, nearly a hundred rifles unleashed fire to suppress the attacking swarms of black-spined insects in batches.

Although it cannot break through the defense, it can effectively slow down their forward speed, and the same part hit will also cause some minor damage.

A little bit of accumulation can seriously injure a few black-backed insects.

Time passed by minute by minute, and as death approached, the recruits' hearts were in their throats. At this moment, they no longer had the joy they had when they first arrived. Instead, under the fierce attack of the black-spine insect swarm, they experienced the cruelty of the battlefield.

During this time, Shen Jie observed the actions of each of them. There were ruthless people who aimed calmly, and there were novices who panicked and shot randomly.

These performances determine their future arrangements.

When the black-backed insect swarm rushed within 300 meters, the flying wing chariot, which had been watching, finally took action.

Lin Feng sat on the observation deck. After confirming that no green-winged insects appeared, he raised the muzzle of the lv19 howitzer, aimed at the black-backed insect swarm not far away, and used firepower to cover it!

Two seconds later, like a cluster bomb dropping, countless shells landed in the black-spine insect swarm, covering the entire two-hundred-meter-long highway.

The series of violent explosions stunned the recruits present.

They couldn't even find the source of the bombing and thought it was a bomber flying over the sky.

It was not until Shen Jie turned his gaze to the RV and got eye confirmation from their commander that the recruits realized the power of the sergeant from the smoke drifting from the muzzle of the tank's observation deck.

It also confirms the rumors in the training camp...

In the highway service area, there is a powerful super bullet awakener. The power of firearms in his hands can be increased exponentially!
Comparable to more than ten howitzers!
