Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

Hu Fei slowly lowered his right hand, somewhat regretting his recent impulse. After all, this was the most outrageous thing he had ever heard in his life.

But looking at Lin Feng’s expression, it didn’t seem like he was joking.

So, he needed to consider it carefully, to weigh the pros and cons.

If, a day ago, someone had told him they wanted to single-handedly start a war—a war against the Zerg Race they were guaranteed to win, at that.

Hu Fei would have thought that person was definitely crazy.

But now, with the shrieks of the Black Spine Zergs in the background, Hu Fei, for the first time ever, felt that it might actually be possible!

He was a businessman. When he looked at things, he only ever focused on risk and reward. As for right and wrong or the odds, those were just byproducts used to measure the rate of return.

Therefore, even war was a business—and the most cash-burning business in history.

To lose meant your life and fortune.

But to win meant a legacy for generations to come!

Lin Feng’s goals and ambition were truly extraordinary. But if such an opportunity really presented itself, even with only a ten percent chance of success, Hu Fei wanted to take the gamble.

After all, only those who survived would be qualified to stay at the table and carve up the cake.

Hu Fei might not understand military affairs, but he could clearly see the current situation: the power of the Alien Zerg Race and the slim chance of the Federation’s victory.

So he knew very well what a true victory would mean in this desperate situation of constant retreat.

Facing Lin Feng’s gaze, Hu Fei decided to go along with his madness:

"Alright!"

"I trust that Mr. Lin is not a reckless man. If such an opportunity arises, as your loyal partner, I, Hu Fei, will certainly give you my all."

After speaking, Hu Fei looked at the deserted toll station. Based on the deepening of their mutual interests, he decided to reveal more information:

"This containment mission had unexpectedly good results, but for the sake of the bigger picture, the higher-ups gave the credit to Lieutenant Qin Hu of the 13th Infantry Division..."

"Before I came, I was still wondering who was behind that explosion in the suburbs. But when I saw these three Black Spine Zergs, I understood Mr. Lin’s power."

"Lieutenant Qin is not the type to forsake his principles for personal gain. You two have been through life-and-death situations together. Perhaps he can pull some strings to help you get an Officer’s commission."

"This will be crucial for Mr. Lin to expand his Zerg Hunting Team and to legally enter and exit the war zone."

"Next, the entire military defense of Wu City will be taken over by the Thirteenth Division. This place will become an empty city, and the start of a meat grinder of urban warfare."

"Of course, as for the State Armed Guard, where the Administration Bureau is, we will always have your back."

Lin Feng’s expression flickered. The information Hu Fei had just revealed had nothing to do with their trade of live Zergs. This was a tip given out of personal investment in him.

And for Lin Feng right now, it was critically important.

"Thank you."

Seeing Lin Feng’s solemn expression and knowing the other party understood his meaning, Hu Fei inwardly sighed in relief. He also found himself admiring the young man before him more and more.

"Well then, that’s settled. God knows what all I’ve gotten myself into tonight..."

"I’ll have the stuff unloaded here for you. Are you sure you don’t need me to send some auto mechanics? Your vehicle..."

Lin Feng shook his head and lay back down in his folding chair.

"These materials, like the Giant Mandibles and Back Armor—do you recycle them?"

Hu Fei looked at the materials on the roof of the RV. In the dim light, he could barely make out the sharp Giant Mandibles of Black Spine Zergs.

"No, the profit margin on that stuff is too low. Besides, right now it’s mainly the officials and large corporations using samples for research. The demand isn’t high, so the price is very low too."

"After all, the military has confiscated a ton of spoils."

Lin Feng’s brow furrowed slightly as he offered a tip:

"If you have the spare capital, you could start hoarding it. Once they figure out how to use them, the value of these Biological Materials will become apparent. By the time you want to get in on it then, it’ll be too late."

Hu Fei nodded, then ordered his subordinates to unload the cargo. Seven or eight burly men jumped down from the truck and began moving steel plates, each weighing seventy to eighty kilograms, into the auto shop.

Also unloaded were food, gasoline, medicine, and, most importantly, the extremely dangerous explosives.

"Be careful! Handle with care! A single one of these packs can collapse a five-story residential building. If they all get detonated, this entire service area will be razed to the ground!"

Hu Fei stood up to issue the reminder. After his men finished moving the goods, they then locked the three Black Spine Zergs from behind the RV into iron cages inside the truck’s container. With that, the deal was complete.

Finally, he glanced at the business van nearby and looked back.

"The women in the van are here. They’re a gift from me to you, untouched. You really not going to give them a try?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"The front lines have no need for eye candy. I don’t have time to deal with these porcelain dolls. Use them to pave the way for your sales network. That’s their best-case scenario."

"Oh, right. Leave the clothes."

Hu Fei was stunned for a moment. Seeing the long-legged woman walking over, he instantly understood Lin Feng’s meaning and flashed a smile that all men understand.

"Done."

A few minutes later, under the resentful gazes of a van full of helpless women, Hu Fei left the service area, satisfied and ambitious, with what he wanted and what he had never expected.

Chen Yanyan watched the two vehicles drive away. Her gaze fell on the clothes and stockings laid out on the table, especially a JK uniform set. It was similar to the one Liu Yueqi wore, but its design was much bolder—the shirt only reached just below her chest.

She then set down two large bags of supplies and shot Lin Feng a slightly odd look, her meaning clear.

Lin Feng, still lying in his chair, shook his head.

"They looked pretty good in them. I figured they could add a bit of fun later on."

"Just Hunting Zergs all the time... the thought alone is boring."

"By the way, did you buy everything?"

Chen Yanyan hummed in agreement. Seeing that no one was around, she quickly scooped up the clothes from the table, walked into the RV, and stuffed them into a dresser under the bed.

Once she was done, she spoke:

"About Liu Yueqi, she needs to make a trip back to Jin City to pick up her mother and maternal grandparents."

Lin Feng recalled the conversation between Liu Yueqi and Liu Ruojiao. It seemed Liu Yueqi came from a single-parent family and was raised by her mother.

"Sure. We don’t have much going on here for now anyway. The original plan was just to let her experience the cruelty of the battlefield. Tell her to hurry back. It’s rare for there to be no traffic, and family is more important."

As he spoke, a young woman carrying a saber walked into the auto shop.

Liu Yueqi stood before Lin Feng, looking down at the man lounging in the folding chair.

From Lin Feng’s angle, he could see the scenery under her skirt, but unfortunately, she was wearing safety shorts. This left Lin Feng rather uninterested.

"Aren’t you heading back to Jin City? What’s up?"

Liu Yueqi nodded.

"I’m telling you, Captain, before I leave."

"I’ll take care of things at home and be back soon. Remember to contact me then."

With that, Liu Yueqi crouched down, her big, round eyes full of pleading.

Lin Feng turned his head away. Seeing the girl’s innocent face, he swallowed the words of refusal he was about to say and sighed softly.

"Alright, fine. Remember to report to the Administration Bureau first, then find that man from just now—oh, his name is Hu Fei. He’ll bring you to us."

Hearing Lin Feng agree, the young woman dropped her pitiful expression, her sorrow turning to joy.

Her eyes darted around, and she secretly leaned in close to Lin Feng’s ear, whispering:

"The team is still missing a doctor."

"When I go back this time, I’ll take care of that guy Zhang Xuan, and then I’ll bring my little aunt with me."

After speaking, she abruptly planted a peck on Lin Feng’s cheek, then disappeared from the auto shop without looking back.

Lin Feng watched the girl’s rapidly departing back, the words he was about to say dying on his lips.

’I had just agreed to let her come back, and I was about to take her Thousand Slash Saber to Upgrade it. I didn’t expect her to pull a sneak attack and then bolt faster than a rabbit.’

Wait a minute...

’If Liu Yueqi is interested in me, then why would she also bring her little aunt, Liu Ruojiao!?’

Watching Zhang Xuan’s sedan drive out of the parking lot...

Lin Feng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’What a mess.’

’I’d better just Upgrade the Blast Gun on the table for now.’
