Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

A single volley from over a hundred Level 19 Scatter Cannons formed a powerful barrage of firepower, dealing a devastating blow to the menacing Swarm.

These Scatter Cannons were Replicas of the Level 19 Grenade Cannon. Even without any other Extra Attributes, their terrifying 190 Damage was enough to kill any Life Form below Tier Two.

At a close range of just two hundred meters, the ten-meter-diameter flames from the explosions sent out heatwaves and shockwaves that washed over everyone’s faces, a truly stunning sight.

Just one volley instantly killed over two hundred Black Spine Zergs and heavily wounded four to five hundred more.

It directly halted the Black Spine Swarm at a distance of five hundred meters.

Before the Black Spine Zerg Swarm could react, the next volley arrived.

With 5,000 rounds of reserve ammunition in the spatial storage, plus a recovery speed of one round per second, everyone had the confidence to fire at will. The only thing limiting them was the Fire Rate of the triggers.

One shell after another bombarded the Swarm, instantly blanketing the foolish, densely-packed, and completely disordered Black Spine Zerg Swarm...

The number of dead and heavily wounded was constantly climbing.

Lin Feng stood at the ship’s bow, holding his upgraded Level 22 Armor-Piercing Cannon, and watched the city in the distance.

He was on guard against any Tier Two Zerg Race that might appear.

After the Upgrade, the Armor-Piercing Cannon’s Basic Attributes had slightly increased, and its effectiveness against the Tier Two Zerg Race had risen to a new level:

[Armor-Piercing Cannon Lv. 22/29, Orange Quality]

[Upgrade Points 0/4, Damage 350, Effective Range 10 km, Remaining Bullets 8000/8000]

[Extra Attributes: Bullet Recovery 1/s, Spatial Magazine 8000 rounds, Eye of the Death God 0/50, Firepower Coverage Damage 50+50/s, Covering Area 10,000 square meters, Bullet Time 10s, Cooling one minute]

The Basic Damage increased by 50 points, reaching 350. By using Eye of the Death God for a locked-on headshot Critical Strike, he could heavily wound or directly kill a Late-stage Tier Two Zerg Race at Lv. 26 or above.

The Cooling for Bullet Time had also been shortened to one minute.

Holding such a superweapon, Lin Feng’s confidence soared.

The soldiers using the Replica Scatter Cannons felt the same way.

The intense shooting and explosions only lasted for about a minute. Each team member fired about thirty shells, and on average, each shell could heavily wound or kill two to three of the reckless Black Spine Zergs.

A rough calculation showed that six to seven thousand Black Spine Zergs now lay fallen within a two to three-kilometer range in front of them.

A Tier Three Early-stage Mother Empress could, at most, hatch and control thirty to forty thousand Soldier Zergs, up to one hundred thousand. Now, ten to twenty percent of its forces were already dead or wounded.

Therefore, Lin Feng could now completely handle the ground offensive of a Tier Three Early-stage Mother Empress.

Having suffered a crushing defeat from underestimating its enemy, the Jia City Mother Empress would not just swallow this bitter fruit and give up.

Moreover, since these Black Spine Zerg Swarms had been killed by Replica weapons, the Evolutionary Energy within their bodies was seized by the Replicas, greatly reducing their value for recycling...

If it let the enemy leave, the Mother Empress would suffer a heavy loss.

This was also why the Hai City Mother Empress had painstakingly schemed to devour the defenders of the first line of defense. As long as it consumed those ten thousand-plus Enhanced People and Awakeners, the loss of its forces would not be a problem.

After being melted down and reforged, it would never be at a loss.

But right now, Lin Feng wasn’t just killing zergs for Upgrades; he was also coveting the live zergs and their corpses.

When the Mother Empress sensed something was wrong and withdrew the thousands of Black Spine Zerg Swarms that were further away, Shen Jie and the others wanted to lead their team members to give chase in their vehicles.

But Lin Feng stopped them with a wave of his hand:

"Stay on the highway. If we rashly chase the enemy into the city, we’ll easily fall into an ambush by the Tier Two Zerg Race."

"For now, let’s collect the heavily wounded Black Spine Zergs and throw them into the storage chamber entrance at the rear of the Battleship."

Hearing this, Shen Jie nodded and gathered his subordinates, forming ten teams with three vehicles each.

They delved into the two-kilometer area before them, which was littered with corpses.

He was more skilled than Li Ran at collecting live zergs and cleaning up the battlefield, and he knew what to watch out for.

Fortunately, the Black Spine Zerg Swarm had advanced in dense packs, so the casualties were concentrated in large swaths. Any surviving zerg that could still move was pulled out individually. Its limbs were shorn off with a Heavy Machine Gun, leaving only the torso and a pair of Giant Mandibles, and then it was tossed into the Land Patrol Battleship following behind them.

Lin Feng watched the reserve of live zergs on his data panel constantly rise, a smile forming on his lips.

From a dozen or so, the count climbed all the way to over a hundred.

After more than a hundred team members spent over ten minutes sweeping the battlefield, they had collected a total of one hundred and eighty-four Black Spine Living Zergs.

This was a huge haul.

It was enough for Lin Feng to exchange for a large amount of needed supplies.

This included fulfilling the live zerg condition he had promised the State Capital guards, in order to obtain the official status of a military officer.

Seeing that the live zergs had been cleanly sorted, Lin Feng then directed Chen Yanyan to activate the Battleship’s Land Ship buff. This deployed two folded push-bars at the front of the bow, which worked with an opening on the bottom to form a horn-shaped resource collection system.

As the roar and vibration of the power turbines sounded, the Land Patrol Battleship, propelled by tens of thousands of horsepower, began its final sweep of the battlefield at sixty kilometers per hour.

Countless severed limbs and remains of Black Spine Zergs, along with half a meter of soil soaked with blood, were all sucked up and devoured by the giant maw at the front of the Battleship.

After being calcined and released by the central furnace, a pile of coke-like waste was dumped from the Battleship’s rear exit.

And as the Battleship finished cleaning the battlefield, new changes appeared in the data before Lin Feng’s eyes:

[Storage Space: Black Spine Living Zergs 184/200, Black Spine Zerg Giant Mandibles 123/200, Red Quality]

[Note: Insufficient storage space. The more valuable Tier One Late Stage Black Spine Zerg Giant Mandibles will be preserved. Corpses from the Middle and Early Stages will be calcined into driving energy for the Land Patrol Battleship and stored.]
