Apocalypse: My Items Upgrade Infinitely

"Divine Handgun Lv7/9, White Quality"

"Upgrade Points: 8/10, Damage: 25, Effective Range: 1000 meters, Remaining Bullets: 2000/2000"

"Extra Attribute: Bullet Recovery 1/s, Space Magazine 2000 Reserve, New Active Attribute: Metal Storm, Fire Rate 3000/min"

"Evaluation: With the power of a machine gun, this handgun is a legend. Its unassuming exterior hides the scythe of death. Harvest away! Hit targets to gain upgrade points."

A quick glance at the Lv7 Divine Handgun's stats brought joy to Lin Feng. This leap in upgrade not only doubled his range and maxed his bullet reserve, but also accelerated bullet recovery.

Yet most importantly, the attribute he'd longed for finally appeared: fire rate!

This handgun, likely sourced by Lin Youzhi from the black market, was a mere workshop product, a semi-automatic replica.

Initially, below level four, Lin Feng's trigger finger could smoke, yet the rate was merely sixty rounds per minute, about one per second.

It seemed quick, but in reality, against the insect onslaught, every second counted—life or death hinged on moments.

For safety, Lin Feng adopted a triple-shot strategy, rarely conserving ammo in battle.

Once it became a legendary handgun, with rifle-like power, its rate increased to two per second, and by Lv6, it reached the theoretical max for an automatic rifle—600 rounds per minute.

Ten rounds per second were barely enough against typical swarm pursuits, allowing for retreat while firing.

But now, the red armored beetle swarm surged like a tsunami, crowding the hallway.

In such a scenario, ten rounds per second were inadequate.

At best, three to four giant bugs could be downed per second, while the swarm's front row advanced at eight to nine meters per second.

Without increasing fire rate, Lin Feng would need to retreat, using terrain to outmaneuver them, unable to halt the swarm at the stairway.

But now things were different!

The Lv7 Divine Handgun, with machine gun power and performance, boasted not just 25 damage per bullet, but its new extra attribute, Metal Storm, allowed Lin Feng to unleash fifty bullets instantly, creating a metal waterfall, a bullet deluge.

Equivalent to ten automatic rifles firing simultaneously in one direction!

Its power was immense. Without hesitation, Lin Feng activated Metal Storm, pulling the trigger to release over a hundred bullets in two seconds!

The bullet rain decimated the front twenty giant red armored beetles instantly.

Limbs fell, blood sprayed, and bullets pierced their bodies, maintaining strong momentum to continue wreaking havoc.

As walls became riddled with bullet holes, the front of the beetle swarm turned to mesh.

In mere seconds, Lin Feng cleared the corridor of the invading beetle swarm.

Subsequent beetles needed to clamber over their fallen comrades, slowing their advance.

The swarm's pace decreased notably, offering Lin Feng a brief respite, but before relief could settle...

His wrist and arm throbbed with piercing pain.

Unleashing powerful bullets in such a short time was akin to wielding a heavy machine gun single-handedly.

Unlike shoulder- or hip-braced stances, Lin Feng's machine gun was handgun-sized. Excited by the new attribute, he forgot the Divine Handgun's immense recoil under Metal Storm.

Previously, with the legendary handgun, Lin Feng's robust physique allowed for single-handed shooting.

Yet now, at fifty rounds per second, it was like being struck on the wrist fifty times in a second!

Two hundred rounds in two seconds—no iron wrist could withstand that!

With his Lv6 stature and thirty constitution points, Lin Feng couldn't single-handedly wield the Divine Handgun, underscoring Metal Storm's power.

The situation was urgent, preventing personal level-ups. Otherwise, Lin Feng would prioritize arm enhancements.

Thankfully, the arm and wrist pain subsided quickly. His robust physique allowed muscles to heal rapidly.

Glancing back at the stunned schoolgirl with a knife, Lin Feng saw Liu Yueqi quickly grasp the situation, noting Lin Feng lowering his smoking barrel, clutching his shooting arm...

Though unsure of the ability, the incredible feat clearly came at a high cost for Lin Feng.

Realizing she needed to buy him time, Liu Yueqi raised her shield and, with the lighter Lv4 Thousand Slash Blade, stepped before Lin Feng.

Blocking the advancing beetles, she swung her long knife deftly, severing their heads.

With 20 attack damage, she easily cleaved through Lv5 beetle carapaces, decapitating them with ease.  

Liu Yueqi's stand allowed Lin Feng to catch his breath, quickly recovering from his right arm's internal injuries.

Had he continued firing, his arm's muscles and blood vessels might have shattered.

Once healed, Lin Feng adopted a two-handed shooting stance, mimicking a movie horse stance to stabilize and mitigate recoil.

By then, more red armored beetles gathered.

At Lv4, Liu Yueqi could handle three beetles at once, but beyond five, risked injury.

Aware of her limits, she retreated behind Lin Feng.

In seconds, she killed three beetles, achieving Lv5 evolution. The energy surge revitalized her.

Lin Feng raised the Lv7 Divine Handgun, opting for burst fire, aiming at eight or nine beetles.

At around two meters, they were below Lv7, making it hard for larger three-meter beetles to climb over.

For single small targets, Metal Storm's high rate was unnecessary. Three to four-shot bursts sufficed.

Leisurely, Lin Feng dispatched several beetles, resting between waves.

The dormitory swarm numbered over two hundred, with this wave accounting for more than forty, some hiding behind the pile of beetle corpses, observing.

Though low in spirit, beetles were not devoid of awareness or intelligence; on the contrary, they were adept at survival.

Facing Lin Feng, a formidable foe, they refrained from rash action, using mandibles to tap tiles and walls in rhythmic patterns.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Lin Feng squinted. A signal, a call to their kind, like wolf howls.

This beetle swarm had a unique communication method, seeking numerical superiority to launch another assault.

Ambitious, but they faced Lin Feng with the Lv7 Divine Handgun!

Simultaneously, Liu Yueqi noticed the situation beyond the beetle mound, her eyes showing concern.

But seeing Lin Feng, poised like a Western gunslinger before a duel, exuding calm confidence, her anxiety abated.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Yueqi raised her red carapace, gripping the Thousand Slash Blade, determined to stay by Lin Feng and witness a miracle!

Seconds crept by, rhythmic taps echoing, the tenth floor trembling lightly.

At the stairway entrance, giant beetles answered the call, swarming the hallway, gathering before the mound of bodies.

Their numbers filled the narrow corridor, layering into an impenetrable insect nest.

With the final tap, the beetle swarm surged over the three-meter mound, racing toward Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's eyes widened—now!

Dual-wielding, he pulled the trigger.

Bullets flooded like a dam burst.

Lin Feng's precise angling spread bullets evenly across the corridor.

Yellow metal streams tore through, shattering the corridor's end windows and walls.

Hundreds of beetles perished instantly.

Their bodies clogged the corridor, piling onto the stairs, blocking further beetles.

Ten seconds later, Lin Feng lowered the barrel.

The shield armor, transformed from the Lv4 Red Armored Shield, shattered on his arms, falling in pieces.

Blood soaked his gun, seeping from his grip.

500 bullets' sustained force tore skin and muscle.

Yet he'd repelled the beetle assault.

Liu Yueqi, legs weak, leaned on her blade, her gaze a mix of awe and fear.

Lin Feng turned, shaking off blood, rasping:

"Let's go, to the rooftop."
