Chapter 83 Shen Jie's secret, reduced fusion efficiency, and flying ambitions

Shen Jie woke up slowly. Although his companions had awakened, they were still weak and had not fully awakened.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. Zhang Liying, who was unconscious beside him, had the same ability as Shen Jie, which was to devour and assimilate.

It was strange that the two of them could awaken the same rare ability. What surprised Lin Feng even more was that during his observation, he unexpectedly saw the extra red armor plates on the torso of Shen Jie in the gap between his short sleeves.

He was very familiar with that thing.

It was the shield armor made with the carapace of the red beetle.

But the question was, how could this thing appear on Shen Jie's body and blend into his skin...

Thinking of the ability introduction displayed on the data panel, an amazing idea emerged in Lin Feng's mind.

After Shen Jie and the others woke up one after another, they went to the bathroom next door to wash their bodies. After they came out again, the eight people stood in a row waiting for Lin Feng to give orders.

Lin Feng frowned slightly and ordered:

"Congratulations to everyone for successfully completing the awakening. Although the physical enhancement is very weak in the early stage, as long as you work hard to kill insects and grow, it can still play a huge role in the later stage."

"Tomorrow we need to continue the task of catching live insects, and the number and scale will only be larger. It's getting late, so have a midnight snack and go to rest."

After summarizing, Lin Feng left a final sentence:

"The rest of you disband, Shen Jie, you two stay."

Watching the teammates leave one by one, Shen Jie and Zhang Liying looked at each other with a heavy face.

When there were only three people left in the room, Lin Feng said lightly:

"Do you know why you stayed?"

Shen Jie took a deep breath:

"Because of our awakened superpowers?"

Lin Feng nodded and moved his fingers:

"Take off your clothes first."

Shen Jie hesitated for a moment. Just now when he was taking a shower, he had seen the strange changes on his back through the mirror, and then confirmed with Zhang Liying that both of them had this kind of hard scales.

But he didn't expect that Lin Feng was also clear.

After struggling for a while, facing the man's calm scrutiny, Shen Jie finally took off his short-sleeved shirt, revealing the red armor on his back.

In the excitement of tension, more and more armor appeared on his back, and the deep red scales, like a hideous insect, covered the entire torso.

After confirming what he thought in his mind, Lin Feng continued to speak:

"Yes, this is the ability of the two of you."

"Swallowing assimilation, can assimilate the other's ability by eating the tissue of the organism, so as to improve it."

"So... have you ever eaten red beetles?"

As the man asked, Shen Jie trembled unconsciously, and finally explained hoarsely with a dry throat:

"Before escaping from Haicheng, Zhang Liying and I were in the same class. When the Zerg invasion broke out, we were cleaning up in the school auditorium."

"After that, in order to avoid the red beetles, , we hid in the utility room for a whole day, thirsty and hungry. After using the equipment in our hands to kill a red beetle, we tried to eat the flesh and blood of the red beetle that night in order to have the strength to escape from the school..."

"As a result, the next day, only Liying and I survived out of the group of six, and the other four died of poisoning with congestion and redness all over their bodies."

"Later, we successfully boarded a school bus, followed the appearance of the helicopter, and met Mr. Lin."

Lin Feng looked at the two of them. He had thought before whether someone would try to eat insect flesh when they were extremely hungry.

The files sent by Ding Chenghai clearly recorded that the flesh and blood of the Zerg contained extremely high sulfides and various compounds that humans could not digest and decompose.

Unlike the crunchy arthropods on the blue star, the alien Zerg is like a tight biological machine, filled with various biological oils and hydraulic structures. Except for the hard shell, it has no use value.

So Lin Feng later gave up the idea directly.

But he didn't expect to meet the two people who survived by eating insect flesh.

Moreover, through that nightmare experience, Shen Jie and Zhang Liying also awakened a rare assimilation ability, which is equivalent to upgrading their own bodies, and their potential is also great.

"How does the insect meat taste?"

In order to ease the awkward and tense atmosphere, Lin Feng changed the subject after Shen Jie's explanation.

Shen Jie was stunned. He didn't expect that Mr. Lin didn't regard the two of them as monsters. He plucked up his courage and began to recall:

"It tastes terrible, like a sponge covered with motor oil. Even if it is baked, it still has the lingering strange smell of the insect blood."

"So Zhang Liying and I ate very little, and we had diarrhea directly after eating, and vomited all night. It may be because of this that we finally survived."

While Shen Jie was talking, he looked back at the slightly nervous girl behind him, and signaled to her with his eyes to be at ease.

What happened that night was of course not just that, otherwise the two of them would not have been able to successfully escape from the auditorium and board the passing school bus the next morning.

But these are not important, and Lin Feng will not care about things that are not related to superpowers:

"Since you have awakened this ability now, then try it. Eat some red beetle meat first. If you can evolve red armor all over your body, your defense will be greatly improved. At the same time, you must also learn to control this ability and try not to expose it to outsiders."

"When you become immune to the toxicity of red beetle meat, you can try to eat black-spine beetles... or even green-winged beetles."

As he said this, an idea flashed through Lin Feng's mind.

If these two people become more and more like insects through swallowing and assimilation, can they deceive the identification of the Zerg and sneak into the Zerg territory.

In this way, they can dig out more secrets of the Zerg, and even cooperate with themselves, attack the second-level guard Zerg and the queen...

As these ideas gradually took shape in Lin Feng's mind, he smiled and couldn't help but raise his eyes to the two people, and became more and more serious:

"This ability is very rare and has a very high growth rate. It will play a very important role in the future..."

"You don't have to have any psychological burden. When the time comes, I will equip you with a few full-body shields to cover it up, and no one will notice it."

"And now the end of the world is coming, and appearance is empty. Only strength is the only standard. When you can fly and hide, killing black-spine insects is like killing chickens..."

"Everyone looks at you with admiration."

"Go back and have a good rest now. There will be more difficult tasks tomorrow."

After comforting the two, Lin Feng got up and left the hotel.

Han Yuxin was busy with her first live insect sales mission. She left the service area with the car in the afternoon. At this moment, there were only eight people including Shen Jie and several young people newly recruited by Han Yuxin in the hotel.

Lin Feng estimated that her partner was like Princess Betty who took the initiative to find him at the dinner last time. The other party had people and money, and knew many nobles who had fled. It was just right for Han Yuxin to exchange resources.

The most important thing was that doing so would not affect Hu Fei's current business layout in the Federation.

As long as the price return was generous, Lin Feng did not mind helping the nobles in distress to return to the stage.

At present, he needed to accumulate strength and hoard consumables such as food, steel, and gasoline to prepare in advance for the decisive battle with the Zerg in the future.

But Hu Fei would not care much about these things. He now wanted to continue to invest the newly gained benefits in the construction of the network of relationships.

So Lin Feng needed Han Yuxin and used her ambition to achieve all his goals.

The power of this woman was completely dependent on Lin Feng. Even the people under his command were under Lin Feng's control. There was no need to worry that she would be disobedient.

After leaving the hotel, Lin Feng returned to the repair shop.

Under the cover of the tarpaulin, a new round of upgrades for the armored vehicles began.

More than 80 pairs of black-spine insects' giant jaws naturally cannot be used to upgrade the lv14 armored vehicles. Lin Feng's lv11 red armor arm guard also needs to be taken care of.

And the lv9 red armor shield worn by Chen Yanyan also needs to be upgraded to red armor. Although she rarely needs to get off the car to fight now, Lin Feng will not treat her badly in this regard.

Just a few pairs of giant jaws.

With a few flashes of red light, the lv11 red armor itself was upgraded to lv13.

At this time, it not only has 90 defense, but the anti-injury effect of the explosive scale armor is also as high as 80%, and its own defense will only be reduced by 20%.

After consuming 7 pairs of giant jaws, Lin Feng consumed 5 pairs of giant jaws again to upgrade to lv14.

Unfortunately, after completing the fusion upgrade, no new additional attributes appeared, but the anti-injury of the explosive scale armor increased to 90%.

Lin Feng was unwilling to give up, and he got a little excited, so he spent 6 pairs of giant jaws. As a result, this time, except for the basic defense increased by 10 points, the other additional attributes...

No longer changed.

Lin Feng looked at the lv15 red black armor on his body, frowning slightly:

"Red black armor lv15/19, red quality"

"Durability: 10/10, defense 110, variant form: arm guard (unconditional), full body armor (unconditional), absolute defense (1/1 back armor) (10/1 giant jaws), explosive scale armor (90% damage counterattack, defense reduced by 10%)"

Could it be that the giant jaws of the black spine insect can only bring so many changes, and new materials need to be integrated to have new additional attributes?

Thinking of the awakened abilities of Shen Jie and the others, Lin Feng had a guess in his heart.

It just so happened that he had thought about the plan to capture the green-winged insect.

Let's try it together next time.

See if the red black armor can grow a pair of wings?

It should be no problem for Shen Jie and the others, but I don't know if the red black armor has the same effect.

Lin Feng was not greedy. As long as he could achieve long-distance gliding, it would be a hundred times more flexible than rigid armor.

After putting away his regrets, Lin Feng then used three pairs of giant jaws to help Chen Yanyan upgrade her red armor shield to lv11 red armor.

Anyway, she probably wouldn't be able to use the anti-injury property of the explosive scale armor. It would be better to save more back armor or giant jaws for absolute defense consumption, which could save her life at a critical moment.

In this way, a total of 21 pairs of giant jaws were consumed. In addition to some basic value increases, the additional benefits were very low.

Looking at the remaining more than 60 pairs of giant jaws, Lin Feng integrated 20 of them into the red armor as a spare, and took the remaining 40 pairs for the upgrade of the lv14 armored vehicle.

The next morning, Lin Feng climbed up from Chen Yanyan's soft arms and sighed as he looked at the upgraded lv15 armored vehicle in front of him with no changes in data.

It seems that the same material cannot be merged without thinking. The further you go, the more limited the actual benefits will be, just like an inverse proportional function.

But this also aroused Lin Feng's fighting spirit.

Today's mission target is the green-winged insect!
