Apocalypse: My Items Upgrade Infinitely

The Black Spinal Bugs pursued swiftly, with abandoned roadside vehicles barely hindering them but obstructing Lin Feng's aim.

To improve accuracy and hit rate, Lin Feng steadied his breathing while Chen Yanyan kept a steady driving pace.

On the main suburban road, wide and clear of traffic, there was no need to weave around obstacles.

As his breathing slowed, Lin Feng aligned his Eagle Eye with the Divine Handgun's sights.

Targeting a Black Spinal Bug, he fired!

Three consecutive shots hit the targeted bug's forelimb.

The first bullet, blocked by the bug's dense exoskeleton, left a small dent. The following two bullets, equally potent, struck the same spot.

They pierced through the limb!

Lin Feng knew from the bug's data that bullets under 20mm caliber could only harm it by repeatedly hitting its weakest points: limbs, abdomen, and the interior of its mandibles.

Other areas, like the mandibles and the spider-like body, required small artillery to penetrate the thick armor.

Therefore, he used a triple-shot to concentrate fire on one spot, breaking the bug's armor and temporarily crippling its speed.

However, the remaining two bugs showed no hesitation or fear, continuing their relentless chase.

Lin Feng understood the three bullets only slowed the bug, not delivering a fatal blow.

Only the last bullet reduced its health by thirty points.

This was due to Lin Feng's precise triple-shot on a single point—an extraordinary feat.

Regular shooting would have little effect.

As speed increased, vehicle vibration grew, along with wind interference, making it difficult for Lin Feng to replicate such accuracy in subsequent shots.

Most bullets hit the target but couldn't focus on one spot.

Single bullets only scratched the bug's shell, leaving shallow marks.

Health -1, causing negligible damage.

Moreover, the remaining Black Spinal Bugs began leaping, rolling, and dodging bullets.

Their adaptability was remarkable, unlike Earth's primitive arthropods.

With a spirit attribute of six, treating them as ordinary bugs would lead to bloody lessons.

Lin Feng likened Black Spinal Bugs to a sci-fi concept weapon, mechanical spiders, but more agile.

As shots missed, each bullet sparked without stopping the bugs' charge.

Approaching the convoy, the bugs reached and leapt onto the rear cars, killing survivors in seconds.

Only the lead car with Qin Hu and Lin Feng's damaged Land Rover, plus the trailing school bus, remained.

The Black Spinal Bugs, after destroying the cars, continued their pursuit. Their aim wasn't food but eliminating all nearby enemies.

In this relentless situation, one side must lose mobility to end it.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, unable to stop them from afar. He needed them closer to use Metal Storm, compensating low accuracy with bullet volume.

Closer range minimized bullet spread, increasing hit probability on one spot.

However, this meant three or four meters, dooming the school bus to attack.

"Sadly, you're on your own."

Lin Feng sighed, unable to help further.

As the bugs swung their mandibles at the bus, a black dot zoomed past Lin Feng's view.

It hit a Black Spinal Bug.

Boom!

A loud explosion from behind the bus; the hit bug staggered, collapsing, immobilized, struggling with its limbs.

Lin Feng turned to see Qin Hu, rifle out the window, ejecting a grenade shell.

Indeed, it was him.

Loading another grenade, Qin Hu fired, another explosion taking down both bugs, temporarily ending the crisis.

Lin Feng noted Qin Hu's calm, collecting his rifle—clearly skilled, with a high level as a special forces soldier.

After fleeing several kilometers, the convoy left the city, reaching suburban residential areas near an eco-park.

Beyond the residential area, Zhang Xuan's car slowed and stopped.

Chen Yanyan braked beside it.

Lin Feng saw Zhang Xuan, pale, lips cracked, hands trembling on the wheel.

This was adrenal fatigue, exhaustion after extreme excitement.

The life-and-death chase was too much for a pampered professor who'd endured a day and night on the rooftop, hungry and mentally drained.

Seeing their fatigue, Qin Hu called for a rest to gather supplies before moving on.

He exited, checking the area, confirming safety:

"We're forty kilometers from the city north. Soldier bugs won't appear here. Rest, we'll move in two hours."

"There should be shops in the residential area."

With that, Qin Hu headed into the complex.

In the car, Zhang Xuan, after drinking water from Liu Ruojiu, sighed, looking at Qin Hu's back:

"We need to go too. No food in the car, without something, we'll have no energy to drive."

Liu Ruojiu hesitated, then nodded:

"Okay, I'll help you over."

"Yueqi, come along."

Liu Yueqi saw them heading into the complex, wanting Lin Feng's opinion, but joined them with her knife.

They were defenseless, needing her against bugs.

In the Land Rover, Chen Yanyan eyed the wetland park, recalling something:

"Let's check there, maybe we'll find something."

Lin Feng followed her gaze, puzzled by the park, but trusted her instincts, waiting for more.

Chen Yanyan hesitated, then explained:

"There's a villa row in that park, a private resort. Haicheng's elites visit often."

"Lin Youzhi has a villa worth millions there, a gift from past developers."

"Important clients were hosted there..."

"And I recall a white camper van in the parking lot."

Lin Feng's eyes lit up, smiling:

"Hosting clients?"

Chen Yanyan nodded, recalling:

"Some small stars, influencers, too. But unrelated to me. Lin Youzhi left after drinking, never staying. I drove him back."

As Lin Youzhi's assistant, Chen Yanyan knew these things.

Now wasn't the time to critique indulgence; hopefully, they'd left more supplies.

Lin Feng leaned back, nodding:

"Let's go. This car's a wreck; a camper would be better for rainy escape."

Chen Yanyan released the brake, driving to the wetland park, navigating through it to a restricted entrance with wire fences.

Outsiders wouldn't easily find it.

Accelerating, Chen Yanyan rammed through the gate, entering the path.

Through dense trees, they saw villas hidden among them.

In the parking area, many luxury cars were parked, and at the back, a tall white vehicle—their target, the camper van.

A Mercedes-Benz C-class camper, with a bed above the cab like a forehead.

Six meters long, three meters high, gasoline-fueled, automatic transmission, looking good, except for a missing key.

Such campers, toys for the wealthy, usually had keys left in the villa, driven out when needed.

But the place was deserted, evacuees gone, leaving only those fated in the city.

Parking the car, Lin Feng and Chen Yanyan shot the villa's lock, entering.

Without power, security was nil.

They split up to search quickly.

Lin Feng avoided following Chen Yanyan into the villa, heading to the garage, opening the door, revealing tools and a modified sports car.

Inside, on a tool rack, he found key sets, picking two with the Mercedes logo, testing outside.

One was indeed the camper's key.

Lin Feng joined Chen Yanyan, looting villas.

In Lin Youzhi's villa, they found luxury cigarettes and liquor, taking all.

While not filling, they were valuable to those with plenty of food.

Reaching an upstairs bedroom...

The contents embarrassed Chen Yanyan, who blushed and hastily claimed ignorance.

Lin Feng smirked, telling her to find bed linens, then went to the kitchen, collecting non-perishables, spices, and canned goods.

These were valuable.

As Lin Feng left, Chen Yanyan's embarrassment eased, but finding new linens, she discovered intimate apparel in the closet.

Blushing, she picked some that fit, hiding them in sheets.

After looting, Lin Feng carried two gas cans and tools from the garage to the camper.

Filling it, Chen Yanyan prepared the interior and started the engine.

Lin Feng relaxed in the passenger seat, as his Divine Handgun reached Lv9:

"Divine Handgun Lv9/9, White Quality"

"Damage: 40, Effective Range: 3000 meters, Remaining Bullets: 4000/4000"

"Extra Attribute: Bullet Recovery 1/s, Space Magazine 4000 Reserve, Active Attribute: Metal Storm, Fire Rate 9000/min"

"Over-Level Condition: Upgrade Points 10/10 (Completed), Kill Black Spinal Bug 0/1 (Pending)"

"Note: Upgrading allows superpower awakening"
