Chapter 72: Under the Crotch, Lv18 Grenade Launcher

As Jiang Yuner instinctively ducked beneath Lin Feng's crotch, a flash of cyan light zipped past the lookout's armor, mere centimeters from her head.

The flat, sharp limb of the Blue Wing Bug sparked against the railing armor, narrowly missing Jiang Yuner's head by only a few centimeters.

Had she been just half a second slower, the blade would have decapitated her beyond salvation.

The Blue Wing Bug's attack relied on its high-speed dive, using ground-skimming momentum in a hooked glide to execute straight-line strikes.

This helped avoid crashing headfirst into the ground.

However, the attack required some preparation time; even at near-sonic glide speeds, the brief ascent provided targets a moment to react.

Lin Feng had remained vigilant.

Yet, he hadn't anticipated the Blue Wing Bug's cleverness, hovering directly above the camper for the entire battle.

The top of the lookout was Lin Feng's sole blind spot, about ten square meters, and typically not worth checking.

The Blue Wing Bug exploited this oversight perfectly.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuner was the one in harm's way. Even if she'd perished, Lin Feng would have only mourned the loss of her rare mental ability.

His instinctive warning was just that—instinctual. If Jiang Yuner seized the opportunity, it meant she wasn't fated to die.

After the Blue Wing Bug's sudden strike, Jiang Yuner managed to avoid harm thanks to Lin Feng's shout.

Feeling the rush of air above her head and the sharp metal sparks landing on her neck and chest, she winced in pain.

Confused, Jiang Yuner looked up to see the scorched, deformed mark on the railing armor, realizing how close she came to death.

Her grip on Lin Feng's pockets tightened.

Lin Feng frowned, reminding her:

"How long will you hold on? If you don't get inside, the next Blue Wing Bug attack will hit!"

His urging sent a shiver through Jiang Yuner. Still outside the lookout, she realized how vulnerable she was. The armor was her only safety, and she couldn't compare.

Desperate to escape, Jiang Yuner abandoned pride and dignity.

She'd lost too much already; one more concession was nothing.

Without hesitation, she crawled through Lin Feng's legs.

Lin Feng chuckled:

"Next time, warn me. I'd like to record this moment."

Jiang Yuner, still shaken, brushed her forehead, recalling how she bumped into Lin Feng's leg.

His teasing stung, and her relief was short-lived. She retorted breathlessly:

"If you enjoy it so much, watch your crotch!"

Lin Feng shrugged, glancing at the pursuing Black Spinal Bugs. The heavy machine guns spewed fire, holding them back.

But the threat wasn't over.

More Blue Wing Bugs gathered above, searching for weak spots in the camper's armor, preparing to dive.

Lin Feng nudged Jiang Yuner's foot:

"Can you stand?"

Jiang Yuner shook her head, utterly spent from the relentless combat and constant danger.

She had exhausted her potential, needing a first-tier awakening to continue.

Seeing her sprawled like a dead fish, Lin Feng didn't coddle her. He hoisted her to an autocannon:

"Then sit. See these buttons? They're the triggers. Press them both!"

"Aim at the Black Spinal Bugs and shoot the front row!"

"One shot at a time, got it?!"

Lin Feng's booming voice cut through the gunfire, snapping Jiang Yuner to attention.

Seeing his fierce gaze, she nodded quickly, understanding.

Lin Feng exhaled, his tone icy:

"Make yourself useful, or you'll end up like the crew you threw out."

Terrified, Jiang Yuner placed her hands on the designated spots, aiming and firing.

With the autocannon's support, the Black Spinal Bugs' advance slowed. Lin Feng called to Chen Yanyan below:

"Split the machine guns, shoot the sky! Aim if you can, otherwise spray!"

Knowing Chen Yanyan could only focus on two tasks at once, Lin Feng had her direct five machine guns skyward.

The Blue Wing Bugs were hard to target, and Chen Yanyan's view from the driver's seat was limited.

The machine guns, with infinite bullets, disrupted the Blue Wing Bugs' attacks.

Each hit, albeit with only 40 damage, could cripple their flight.

Five machine guns held the Blue Wing Bugs at bay, allowing Lin Feng to lock onto them with the Lv17 grenade launcher's Death's Eye.

The gun had upgraded:

"Grenade Launcher Lv18/19, Red Quality"

"Upgrade Points 37/10, Damage 170, Range 8km, Ammo 4500/4500"

"Attributes: Bullet Recharge 1/s, Space Magazine 4500 rounds, Death's Eye 0/50, Fire Coverage 30+20/s"

"Fire Coverage Area: 1000 sqm"

"Evaluation: A super weapon with 155mm grenade launcher power, its shots create a 10m destruction radius. Kills grant upgrade points."

The upgrade increased base damage by 20, allowing Lin Feng to dispatch late first-tier Black Spinal Bugs with a single shot.

Other stats remained stable, but Fire Coverage's base and charged damage rose by ten points.

Charging for one second delivered 50 damage across an area.

Crucially, the coverage expanded tenfold, enabling simultaneous strikes on over a hundred Black Spinal Bugs.

Each bug now faced at least 200 damage per square meter.

For repelling bug hordes, Fire Coverage surpassed Death's Eye.

Yet for aerial threats like Blue Wing Bugs, whose speed and flight were unpredictable, Death's Eye excelled.

After noting these changes, Lin Feng initiated the next upgrade, raising his gun to the azure glow above, activating Death's Eye.

In an instant, he and the gun became one, achieving a state of unity.

One target, two, three...

The Blue Wing Bugs' flight paths became clear, each lock-on leading to a precise shot.

Fifteen seconds later, with no new targets, Lin Feng pulled the trigger...

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Fifteen shots fired!

Fifteen blazing ten-meter fireballs lit the sky.

Watching the disintegrating Blue Wing Bugs, Lin Feng's smile widened.

Rather than narrowing accuracy tenfold, expanding the kill zone tenfold was more effective.
