Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

The specialized Battle Armor they wore unfolded pairs of cyan-yellow Membrane Wings. Flapping at high frequencies, the wings kicked up powerful gusts of air, and like helicopters slowly ascending, they rose into the clouds one by one.

Watching the newly formed Aerospace Corps head out for their first real combat mission, Lin Feng let out a slight sigh of relief. He then looked at the remaining four regular Battle Groups and their General Commander, Liu Yi.

Sensing his leader’s gaze, Liu Yi gave a subtle nod.

After the crowd of onlookers dispersed, Liu Yi found Lin Feng in the conference room to report on the situation:

"The personnel for the Underground mission have been chosen. That’s five commanders at Tier Two Late Stage Perfection, myself included, and twenty-five regular members with close-combat skills."

"These thirty members will form the Guard Corps. They will infiltrate the Underground Hive with you to carry out the beheading plan."

Lin Feng nodded. This was the mission he had assigned to Liu Yi after returning the day before.

He needed the thirty Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Swords to be wielded by a team of melee specialists, who would carry out the crucial containment mission during the final beheading plan.

"Good. Take them to the Military Equipment Warehouse where the convoy unloaded yesterday. Have them collect their Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Swords and prepare to head north with me to Chang City."

"The remaining fifty-five members will coordinate with the Genetic Combat Team. They will be responsible for killing the Pulse War Scorpions at the rear of the Swarm and for dealing with the Samurai Hunter Zergs that target our fleet on the battlefield."

"Ensure today’s advance proceeds smoothly!"

With Lin Feng’s orders given, Liu Yi accepted and left to make the preparations.

A short while later, Li Ran arrived to report on his logistical arrangements and the layout of the second line of defense.

He was incredibly excited for this battle. As a member of the high command and one of the few who knew the truth behind the beheading plan, Li Ran felt a deep sense of pride and relief at the thought of the incredible feat Lin Feng was about to accomplish.

"As you instructed, we have suspended fishing operations. The Support Soldiers have begun transferring materials from the camp, including dried fish, instruments, and tools. We’ve only left behind weapons, equipment, and a three-day supply of food."

"We plan to leave behind three thousand Support Soldiers to transport food and ammunition to the front lines, as well as to clean and repair the Tanks. The rest will all be relocated to the Jin City Base."

"This will significantly reduce the logistical strain if we need to retreat later."

"I will take overall command of the second line of defense, delegating the specific arrangements to the battalion and company commanders. My main responsibility will be managing the camp’s logistics to guarantee the supply line to the front."

Lin Feng grunted in agreement and added a contingency for the worst-case scenario:

"One more thing. If the Hai City Mother Empress on the front line suddenly flies into a rage and intensifies her assault to the point where our defenses are about to collapse, evacuate the Support Soldiers immediately. Leave only a few drivers behind to extract the defenders on the line."

"Preserve our forces and fall back to Jin City."

Li Ran nodded in complete agreement.

After he left, Chen Yanyan and Ling Yi entered the conference room.

Lin Feng and Chen Yanyan held each other in a tight embrace. No words were needed between them.

Chen Yanyan took a deep breath:

"You have to come back!"

Lin Feng nodded:

"Don’t worry. After all this preparation, even if I’m not one hundred percent certain, I’m confident we have an eighty or ninety percent chance of success. And even if we fail, I can at least guarantee there won’t be any other mishaps."

"As for you, remember to keep the Life Radar active at all times. I’m worried the Hai City Mother Empress will fly into a humiliated rage and personally intervene to trap our fleet."

The Super Fleet, led by the Dreadnought Battleship, had already become a major thorn in the Hai City Mother Empress’s side. It was highly likely that once she gauged the true strength of the defenders, she would risk everything to annihilate this land-based fleet.

Chen Yanyan nodded seriously, turned to glance at the expressionless Ling Yi, and then left the conference room.

Lin Feng turned to Ling Yi, the last one remaining:

"Are you ready?"

"I imagine the Jiangbei Mother Empress is getting restless, eager to cross the river and join the fray."

"Let’s go. It’s time we paid her a visit."
