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

Chapter 98 Wucheng blocking battle!
Late at night on the third day, Lin Feng drove the lv19 flying wing tank into the outpost and parked it at the supply storage area in the center of the fortress.

There is no roof here. In order to facilitate the installation and operation of the internal crane and save construction materials, the entire outpost presents a concentric hollow structure.

The fifteen-meter-high area is divided into two floors, one at ten meters high and another on top.

The supplies transported in the early stage would definitely not be able to be stored in the space inside the fortress, so nearly 60% of the reserve supplies were piled up in the central open space.

Four cranes were left behind to transport weapons and ammunition to the two-story bunkers, which was much faster than relying solely on manpower for transportation.

The hollow structure also allows Lin Feng to make full use of the tank's air defense capabilities. Although the shooting angle is limited, with ten heavy machine guns with unlimited firepower and three level 19 machine guns, he can completely suppress attacks from the sky.

At this moment, not only Lin Feng's chariot was parked here, but also four troop transport vehicles loaded with supplies, closely surrounding the flying wing chariot.

This was the retreat route that Li Ran had prepared in advance for everyone. Once the supplies in the outpost were used up, or the Zerg's attack was too swift, they would have no choice but to escape.

Anyway, these people were originally treated as abandoned pawns, and no one expected them to play much of a role.

The recruits knew this very well.

But under Lin Feng's care and training, more than half of them have now become awakened, and the rest are in the late stage of strengthening. They only need to kill a few more red beetles to start their super-powered awakening.

Among these fifty newly awakened ones, most of them have physical enhancement abilities, but one is special and can greatly enhance the explosive power of his legs. He is a rare agility enhancer in the physical system.

Commonly known as running fast.

This guy's name is Liu Hao, a sports student at Wucheng University. He used to practice long-distance running in track and field, but he didn't have any special skills, so he chose to stay on the front line.

Based on Shen Jie's early observations and suggestions, Lin Feng asked him to lead a small team to be responsible for temporary support on the front line.

The direction of the Zerg's main attack is not fixed. Sometimes they will suddenly strengthen the attack on one side. At this time, a flexible team is needed to come and strengthen the defense.

As for the specific arrangements for defending the line, Lin Feng directly handed it over to Li Ran, who had experience in major battles.

Even though they already knew Lin Feng's powerful strength, they were still surprised that he could turn half of the nearly 100 recruits into Awakeners in just two days...

Li Ran was still shocked!

If I had known this earlier, I would have let Qin Hu fight to the death to allocate more troops to Lin Feng for training.

In this way, they can quickly pull out a low-level awakened team to compete with the 13th Division Awakened Camp, and their voice in the battle resolution will not plummet like it is now...

They were even excluded from the core decision-making circle.

Even if it would end up being a wedding dress for Lin Feng, as long as it could cause greater damage to the Zerg and leave more hope for humanity, Li Ran, who shared the same idea as Qin Hu, did not mind this abuse of power for personal gain.

The bottom line he adheres to is more flexible than the old captain's, and he has long seen that in this chaotic world, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss.

Unfortunately, the situation is set and there is nothing that can be done to reverse it.

At this moment, within a thousand meters outside the bunker, Zerg figures were constantly emerging.

The wormhole entrances appeared one after another, more and more, and closer and closer.

As Li Ran completed the deployment of the outpost's defense forces, after a long night...

Under the dawn light, countless groups of black shadows began to emerge on the earth. They quickly interspersed and attacked the endless Wucheng defense line.

There were hundreds and thousands of black-backed insects.

They suddenly poured out from the wormhole not far away, and launched their first attack when the morning sun was just beginning to appear at the junction of light and darkness, which affected the vision and was when humans relaxed their vigilance.

The Zerg's goal has always been clear.

That is to destroy humans and expand territory.

But with the sound of explosions, the soldiers guarding the defense line were instantly awakened.

The mines they had placed along the way before leaving yesterday now became the best alarms.

Because the four legs of the black-spined beetle are pointed, the ground pressure at the ends of the legs is extremely high, enough to reach the upper limit of detonating anti-tank mines.

Only anti-tank mines can effectively kill the black-backed worm swarms, especially their abdominal armor, which is not solid. Like the red beetles, it is one of the few weak points of the black-backed worms.

As large areas of mines were triggered, violent explosions directly killed the front row of black-backed insects and slowed down their forward progress.

At this moment, not far from the Zerg, the first line of defense of Wucheng, which stretched for 20 kilometers, had as many as 100 defensive main forts, each of which was garrisoned by a reinforced company of more than 150 soldiers. The heavy weapons included five machine guns and dozens of heavy machine guns, while the rest of the soldiers were also equipped with large-caliber rifles and grenade launchers.

The firepower coverage formed by these weapons is enough to defend a 500-meter defense line, and every 200 meters in the main fort, there is a...

The dense firepower formed by the intersection of each other was like an overlapping artillery network, ruthlessly blocking the Zerg's attack.

Even if the black-backed worms launched a charge within four or five hundred meters outside the defense line, they could only die at the foot of the defense line built of steel bars and concrete.

Countless exploding flames, like gorgeous blooming yellow flowers, accompanied the black-backed insects' limbs breaking and flying, breaking up their first round of attacks.

Even though many black-backed insects managed to break through the fire blockade network and reach the bottom of the defense line by virtue of their speed and agility, they were unable to break through the city wall because of their huge jaws, and their efforts were in vain.

Finally, after leaving a few giant tooth scratches four or five centimeters deep, it was quickly destroyed by the soldiers in the fortress on the wall using howitzers and bullets.

At 5:10 am on the 4th, the main forts No. 48 to 50 in the center of the Wucheng defense line encountered the first round of exploratory attacks by the Zerg.

After half an hour of fighting, all eight hundred black-backed insects were killed by gunfire.

But an hour later, the corpse in the distance was dragged back by a red beetle in a bulging hole on the ground.

This seems like a normal thing...

But it is the biggest obstacle that mankind will soon face.

The Zerg killed from hundreds of meters away could not obtain the upgrade energy in their bodies. These still fresh black-spine worm corpses were recycled and rebuilt...

It only costs one tenth of the normal hatching cost to repair the death wound and revive with full blood in the mother nest within a few hours.

It is precisely by relying on this characteristic of the biomass factory that the Queen Mother continuously consumes the defensive strength of mankind.

Using a force that is ten times greater than that of humans, and at an extremely low cost of one-tenth, humans will need to expend a hundred times the ammunition output to withstand the Zerg's repeated attacks.

But for humans today, it is simply not realistic.

Because no country would be so crazy as to store more than a hundred times the normal amount of ammunition. Even during the Cold War when every citizen was a soldier, it would be difficult to achieve.

This will bring down the entire country and economy.

So this is where the real horror of the Zerg lies.

As long as they can recover the corpses and ultimately win the battle, they will never lose.

The number of insect swarms is endless, and the more you fight, the richer you become.

A veritable war machine.

At this moment, in the mixed company on the Wucheng defense line, many newcomers were feeling complacent, while the grassroots officers in charge of command did not let their guard down.

They are all veterans who survived the Battle of Haicheng. After several rounds of recruitment and military expansion, their lowest rank is now a squad leader.

At the beginning, they only had makeshift trenches and were forced to fight the red beetles and black-backed worms at close range. They were very aware of the horror of the Zerg.

The daytime is just a preliminary test. The real danger comes from underground and at night. Even with landmine warnings and the protection of reinforced concrete, the Zerg's repeated attacks will still make you panic and exhausted.

Humans need to rest, but the low-level units of the Zerg, without the wisdom of the brain, are like a precision instrument. As long as they have enough energy, they can resolutely execute the orders of the Queen Mother 24 hours a day...

The arduous blocking battle has just begun.

And in the south, outside the defense line, in the service area beside the highway, the new recruits in the outpost bunker were nervously watching the situation on the front line.

In front of the wasteland in the distance, large patches of green vegetation fell down and disappeared, becoming the energy consumed by the red beetles to dig wormholes.

As holes are formed one after another in the earthen mounds, countless black-backed worms are moving underground.

The outpost bunkers were not given more weapons, and naturally no mines were placed...

They rely entirely on rotating patrols, keeping a close eye on the movements of the distant mounds, and reporting to their superiors as soon as any situation arises.

At 10:00 noon, when people’s nerves have been tense for a long time and they need to eat and rest the most...

The Queen Mother immediately took action.

The first test of the outpost bunker!
