Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

Awaiting the leader’s command.

Lin Feng took a deep breath. In the darkness of the night, he looked at the seventy-three Tier Two Genetic Warriors present and slowly began to speak:

"I’m sure you all have an idea of what’s going on. The Zerg Race from Hai City has pulled a new trick on us."

"The Hai City Mother Empress sent out Tier Two Wind-winged Zergs to begin probing bombing runs against our fleet, and they achieved some success."

"Therefore, they will definitely exploit our weakness—our lack of air power—to increase high-altitude surprise bombing raids on the second defensive line, the Super Fleet, and even our entire rear camp."

"Besides strengthening the anti-air firepower of our ground forces, the most important thing is to regain air superiority and strive to eliminate the Zerg Race’s aerial forces in the sky!"

"This is the difficult mission that the entire Thirteenth Division needs to entrust to you. The importance of this mission will directly determine the outcome of the final battle!"

Lin Feng then waved his hand grandly:

"Let’s move out. Battle Group Leader Shen Jie and I will do our best to get you all adapted to aerial combat as quickly as possible."

Then, Lin Feng led the members of the Tier Two Gene Combat Team to a large, deserted area behind the mess hall.

Following his and Shen Jie’s demonstration, the members present began to unfurl their Membrane Wings. The translucent membranes, flapping at a high frequency from their roots, provided immense lift, gradually overcoming and even surpassing their own weight.

The team members’ feet slowly left the ground, and they floated in mid-air.

Next, Lin Feng and Shen Jie, who were already proficient fliers, began to lead them in low-altitude, constant-speed flight training.

After flying for three or four hours straight, well into the early morning, the group landed on the mess hall’s rooftop, somewhat exhausted.

Lin Feng estimated that a Genetic Warrior’s flight duration at a full State was about two hours, and their top speed could exceed Mach 1, the speed of sound.

That translated to 400 meters per second. Although it was a bit slower than the Tier Two Wind-winged Zergs, this was the genetic limit of the Tier One Cyan-winged Zergs.

Although the Genetic Warriors were at a slight disadvantage in terms of speed, as long as Lin Feng was around, he could compensate for any disadvantage in other areas.

For example, equipping them with a set of Orange Quality Tiger Armor would give them a major advantage against the Tier Two Wind-winged Zergs. Or, for instance, equipping each person with an upgraded Large-Caliber Machine Gun for long-range bombardment.

To arm the flying Genetic Warriors, Lin Feng directly removed the twenty-millimeter caliber Machine Cannons that had been installed on the defensive line.

They had already accumulated a large number of Upgrade Points from enduring several Swarms. With just a little effort, Lin Feng upgraded them directly to Red Quality.

They were now rapid-fire Cannons with over one hundred points of Damage and more than five hundred rounds of reserve ammunition.

Their firepower might be slightly insufficient against Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs, but it was more than enough to deal with the Wind-winged Zergs in the sky.

This was because, like the Cyan-winged Zergs, they were glass cannons—high attack, low defense.

According to Ling Yi, despite being a Tier Two Zerg Race, the Wind-winged Zerg was the only one whose Outer Armor defense was equivalent to that of the Tier One Black Spine Zergs.

Although the Outer Armor of the Black Spine Zergs was strong enough to withstand the wind resistance at Mach 2 or 3, it was clearly lacking compared to other Tier Two Zerg Races. Even the newer generation of Samurai Hunter Zergs were more durable.

However, considering flight endurance and top speed, heavy Outer Armor was obviously not suitable.

It was a trade-off between size and maneuverability.

And compared to the massive twenty- to thirty-meter bodies of the Tier Two Wind-winged Zergs, the human Genetic Warriors clearly had more flight payload capacity, allowing them to wear heavier, thicker Armor and carry more reserve ammunition for their Machine Cannons.

Therefore, by relying on the superior Defense Power of their Outer Armor and the long-range attacks of the Large-Caliber Machine Guns, the flying Genetic Warriors could suppress the Tier Two Wind-winged Zergs, even if they were slightly slower.

This would prevent the Zergs from easily dropping large numbers of Suicide Bugs like they did yesterday.

After a preliminary selection, thirty of the seventy-two Genetic Warriors were identified as having exceptional flight aptitude and could be entrusted with this heavy responsibility.

Lin Feng immediately separated them to form the Aerospace Corps within the Tier Two Corps, specifically responsible for striking the Zerg Race’s aerial forces.

Each person was equipped with a Red Quality Large-Caliber Machine Gun and a set of Orange Quality Fierce Tiger Armor, which was upgraded from a Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg Giant Mandible.

Once fully armed, the combat power of the Aerospace Corps could reliably overpower the Tier Two Wind-winged Zergs!

The remaining forty-two Genetic Warriors were tasked with low-altitude combat and battlefield patrol missions. They would intercept new Tier Two Zerg Races deployed by the enemy, such as the long-range Pulse War Scorpions and the stealthy, sabotage-focused Samurai Hunter Zergs.

After making the arrangements, Lin Feng planned to conduct the first live-fire training exercise after the Sun rose.

Shen Jie would be responsible for leading them to patrol the airspace over all of Wu City, waiting for an opportunity to strike, kill, and retaliate against the Zerg Race’s Tier Two Wind-winged Zerg bombing squadrons.

Having gotten a taste of success last time, the Hai City Mother Empress was bound to increase her investment. She would likely form several, or even a dozen, Tier Two Wind-winged Zerg bombing squadrons in an attempt to flatten any enemy blocking her occupation of Taihu Lake with wide-scale bombing.

Soon, as the first rays of dawn rose from the east, a new day arrived.

The great battle was imminent, and the tense atmosphere within the camp lingered, refusing to dissipate.

On the plaza in front of the Dreadnought Battleship, the fully armed Tier Two Aerospace Corps stood in neat formation. They wore sunglasses and were under the command of their leader, Shen Jie.

They were being inspected by Lin Feng, drawing the attention of numerous Warriors and other Tier Two Battle Groups nearby.

As the first Aerospace Corps to be deployed into battle, it was an honor they deserved.
