Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

After less than an hour of waiting, the Lv13 Blast Gun’s upgrade was finally complete:

「Blast Gun Lv13/19, Red Quality」

「Upgrade Points: 14/5, Damage 80, Effective Range 2 kilometers, Remaining Bullets 500/1000」

「Extra Attributes: Bullet Recovery 1/s, Spatial Magazine (1000-Round Capacity)」

Aside from the increased Damage and doubled ammo capacity, there were no other changes. The key was the next upgrade to Lv14, which should be a qualitative leap.

’I have to witness such a crucial upgrade myself, so I don’t miss any key information.’

Lin Feng put away the Lv13 Blast Gun on the table. He didn’t immediately start the Lv14 upgrade or his own synchronized upgrade, because right now, he just wanted to get some good sleep.

The warm, strengthening current from an upgrade could temporarily relieve muscle fatigue and soreness, but it couldn’t clear the mental fog and numbness from such prolonged strain.

He did the math. From waking up at five yesterday morning to setting out and fighting until now, he had endured over twenty continuous hours of high-intensity combat. His brain felt like a computer bogged down with fragmented files, completely overloaded.

He urgently needed to shut down and clear out the junk.

That was why Lin Feng had refused Hu Fei’s prepared "gift" earlier; he just didn’t have the energy or interest. When he first got back to the service area, he’d felt a faint flicker of desire. But after forcing himself to stay sharp while negotiating with Hu Fei, all he wanted now was a good, comfortable sleep to clear his head.

Whatever it was, it could wait until tomorrow.

However, while the Blast Gun and his own upgrade could wait, this big guy in front of him was another story. He had to take advantage of the time he had now to start its lengthy upgrade.

The Armored RV’s Upgrade Points were maxed out. Lin Feng walked up to it, looking at the countless scars, punctures, and structural damage covering its body. It was a miracle it had even made it back.

He confirmed the upgrade, simultaneously using one of his own upgrades for a fusion modification.

This time, Lin Feng integrated five pairs of Black Spine Zerg Giant Mandibles—including one from a Lv14, specifically for the front of the vehicle. He also added sixty Fine Steel Plates and some Red-Armored Beetle back armor.

As these materials were enveloped in red light and gradually disappeared into the RV’s surface, a brand-new modification and upgrade got underway.

’With this many materials, it’ll probably take five or six hours.’

The RV’s door suddenly opened. Chen Yanyan walked over, drying her wet hair with a towel, wearing Lin Feng’s oversized T-shirt and shorts.

"Finally done with my shower. What did Liu Yueqi say just now?"

After drying her hair, Chen Yanyan sat down next to Lin Feng and casually rested her long legs across his lap.

Lin Feng shrugged:

"She wants to bring Liu Ruojiao into the group, too."

Chen Yanyan frowned slightly:

"Liu Ruojiao is too weak-willed. She’s not suited for our team. She can only handle logistics and support in the rear."

"Do you want her? And I mean that in every way."

Seeing Chen Yanyan being so blunt, Lin Feng looked up, stared at the lightbulb for a moment, and mused:

"In peaceful times, I might have been interested. After all, it’s kind of fun to slowly break down the psychological defenses of a silly, sweet, naive girl like that and make her completely devoted to you."

"But these are chaotic times. If people like her don’t change their perspective quickly, they won’t live long. She’d just drag us down."

"Besides, that Zhang Xuan fellow is no saint. Unless Liu Yueqi gets violent, she’ll never out-scheme him, and that stupid woman is on his side..."

"Why? You seem pretty concerned about this."

Chen Yanyan nodded matter-of-factly:

"It’s the mission Sister-in-law Yurou gave me: stay by your side and keep an eye on any women who try to get close to you."

"At least when it comes to matters of the heart, women understand women better."

"The two of us originally planned to bring Liu Ruojiao into our group, but just like you said, that woman has a serious case of love-struck brain. A classic dependent personality. No one can help her unless she’s severely hurt by the person she trusts most. Only then might she wake up."

"Everyone has their own destiny. As for us, we just need to get stronger as fast as we can."

Lin Feng smiled faintly and reached out to gently caress Chen Yanyan’s smooth legs, which were resting on his lower abdomen.

"Don’t worry. With a leg-goddess like you around, I’m not that desperate. If you need anything, feel free to come find me anytime."

"But remember to wear black stockings."

Chen Yanyan’s face flushed red. She pulled her legs back and urged him,

"Go, go, go, your hands are filthy. Hurry up and take a shower! The water’s still hot."

Lin Feng laughed heartily, stood up, and went into the RV.

Half an hour later, Chen Yanyan was outside playing on her phone. As she gradually calmed down, she suddenly realized that there hadn’t been a sound from Lin Feng for a while, so she went into the RV to check.

There, she saw Lin Feng lying on the two-meter-wide bed she had just set up, already fast asleep and snoring from exhaustion.

Chen Yanyan leaned against the doorframe, a fond smile on her face. She went over and covered Lin Feng with a blanket.

Then, she put away the table and chairs outside, pulled down the shop’s rolling shutter door, and finally returned to the bed in the RV. Lying down beside Lin Feng, she slowly pulled him into her arms.

Lin Feng sleepily lifted his head. Seeing it was Chen Yanyan who had snuggled up, he rested his head on her chest and went right back to sleep.

The night passed without a word.

The next morning, Lin Feng was awakened by the enticing aroma of meat. He had been so exhausted last night that he had passed out immediately, not even getting to eat a late-night snack. Now, his stomach was growling with hunger.

He climbed out of bed and opened the partition door. In the living area of the vehicle, Chen Yanyan was wearing a kitchen apron, searing a steak that sizzled in a frying pan.

"You’re awake? The military rations Hu Fei sent are pretty good quality. They come with all the seasonings and even have several different flavors."

Lin Feng nodded:

"Gotta eat well to have the energy to work."

After saying that, he went into the adjacent bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.

After he cleaned up, Chen Yanyan had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast outside, ranging from preserved egg and lean pork congee to pan-seared prime steak, plus a cup of warm milky coffee.

After briefly enjoying his breakfast, Lin Feng glanced at the system notification. The RV’s upgrade had just been completed.

"Come on, we’ll clean up later. I have a surprise for you."

Lin Feng pulled Chen Yanyan, who was washing the dishes, and led her outside the vehicle.

As the team’s current primary driver, the RV’s upgrade was very significant for Chen Yanyan.

When Chen Yanyan stepped out of the RV and saw the behemoth before her, her expression was one of stunned disbelief.

The initial upgrade in the suburbs last night had been hard to see clearly due to limited visibility. But now, in the morning light, sunlight poured through the windows, illuminating the ferocious beast before them, its entire appearance laid bare.

The RV parked in front of them had increased in size by fifty percent. It was over ten meters long and four meters wide, about the size of a small truck, completely filling both bays of the repair shop.

Although it was only upgraded to Lv12, its capabilities were definitely beyond that level. After Lin Feng had invested so many resources and materials, the thing’s Defense Power and Attack Power had risen to an absurd degree.

Three sharp, triangular spikes jutted out from the front of the RV. The pair on the lower bumper were especially prominent; taken from a Lv14 Black Spine Zerg, they were exceptionally wide and thick. At one and a half meters in length, they could easily pierce low-level Black Spine Zergs.

Furthermore, the RV’s windshield was now reinforced with a double-layered, metal, explosion-proof window, which would effectively protect the fragile glass from being shattered by giant insects. A thoughtful addition of a roof rack also made it more convenient to carry supplies and spoils of war.

The RV’s entire outer hull had also been doubly reinforced. The armor, a composite of Biomass and Fine Steel, was ten centimeters thick. Even a Blast Gun would have trouble piercing it in one shot; it would require continuous hits on the same spot.

What satisfied Lin Feng the most was the internal modification to the sunroof area on the RV’s roof. The pop-up second-floor bar, a feature of the original large RV, had been converted into a lookout tower. Encased in armor, it offered an excellent field of view.

From inside, Lin Feng could comfortably lean out and attack in all directions with no blind spots.

It was like a retro, old-fashioned Armored Tank.

Driving a modified RV like this, they could easily engage in mobile warfare against a small Black Spine Zerg Swarm, constantly wearing down the enemy with hit-and-run tactics.

Chen Yanyan finished caressing the RV’s solid Outer Armor, marveling again and again, unable to tear herself away.

Lin Feng tossed her the car keys:

"Give it a try."

Excited, Chen Yanyan rushed forward, hugged Lin Feng, and planted a big kiss on him. Then she quickly jumped into the driver’s seat, inserted the key, and started the behemoth.

The engine roared to life with a RUMBLE, its power immense.

Lin Feng pulled up the panel to check the RV’s specific Attributes:

「Armored RV Lv12/19, Red Quality」

「Upgrade Points 0/10, Damage 50, Defense Power 80, Average Speed 120, Range 500km」

「Extra Attributes: Biological Armor (Defense Power +40), Armor-Piercing Car Head (Damage +30)」

「Evaluation: After the fusion modification, this RV is no different from a truck, but its Defense Power is far greater, and it has gained a preliminary counterattack capability. Gain Upgrade Points based on distance traveled on the battlefield.」

After reading the data description, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. On the battlefield, a vehicle is a second life.

The stronger the RV, the safer and smoother their future hunting and capture operations would be.

Walking to the entrance of the repair shop, Lin Feng raised the rolling shutter door, then got into the passenger seat of the Armored RV.

Seeing the eager Chen Yanyan beside him, Lin Feng drew the Blast Gun from his hip and smiled.

"Let’s go!"

"Let’s see how well it performs in a real fight!"

"Let’s move out! Back to the Zerg Race’s territory!"
