Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields-Chapter 320 - 319 Transformation of DNA

Lin Yi found a fleet of Boeing 747-100s, but they couldn’t be used normally.

Still, he sent it back to the Shelter, just in case he found a specialist who could repair it later.

If not, they could still be recycled.

The soldiers also found several disassembled aircraft that had been used as a source of spare parts.

They were in poor condition and showed signs of corrosion.

The soldiers also found a large number of tents, sleeping bags, and other items, as well as various camping equipment.

They were also lucky to find about 300 guns, including assault rifles, pistols, rifles, and so on.

But most importantly, they found 11 machine guns and a considerable amount of ammunition.

There were more vehicles here than Melanie had imagined, including five Leopard 2 tanks, six military trucks, two armored fighting vehicles, and two military jeeps.

The tanks were completely without ammunition... that’s why they were abandoned.

After clearing out the camp, Lin Yi led his people to loot the airport terminal.

There they also found some guns and food, although most of the food had spoiled.

They were busy until dinner when all strategic areas were looted.

They found nearly 33,000 tons of steel.

The warehouse and port were ruthlessly plundered. They even took the containers.

After they were done, all that was left of the airport was the large fences they were too lazy to cut down.

All in all, it was quite a haul, especially the military vehicles.

Solomon suggested enchanting the tank shells with the "Divine Shooter" skill, and it worked!

The "Divine Shooter" skill will be analyzed in two more days and then will be available in the store.

After taking care of the last task of the day, Lin Yi went to have dinner.

He was in a good mood.

He asked Annie, the one in charge of the gossip news.

"You were whispering throughout dinner; did something good happen?"

"No, boss! Nothing happened! Absolutely nothing!" the young woman replied, looking very serious and sincere.

Lin Yi didn’t believe her, but he didn’t want to press her.

"Sylvie, how are the repairs on the gear we looted?"

"All repaired."

"How much will it cost us to upgrade this equipment?"

"Wait a moment..." Sylvie pulled out her phone and found her records.

"Upgrading the AP-1 to AP-4 costs 5,000 Coins, transforming the Apocalypse Warrior into an ’Apocalypse Knight’ costs 2,000 Coins each."

"Ten thousand Coins... quite expensive, but still cheaper than making it ourselves. So, how much altogether?"

"14.5 million Coins."

"...I’ve already spent 10 million Coins today... How are the tanks, Louis?"

"They need some repairs. Among the Russians you brought back, one is a Mechanician.

He’s already tinkering with those Leopard tanks.

He even gave me some ideas for my steam-powered tank!"

"That’s great, but what about the howitzers and cannons?"

"I have a few prototypes, but they’re not yet... not quite ready for deployment."

"Understood... If necessary, do some more research on those howitzers, but don’t mess them up!"

"Thank you, boss! This time there won’t be any problems!" Like many others, Louis was also shamelessly using the professor’s services.

He now looked almost twenty years younger and stronger than before.

This old rascal celebrated his regained youth by visiting the women’s house, where all the staff already knew his name.

His current dream is to enter the rehabilitation center and spend the night with the alien beauties there.

"Professor, how are things on your end? How is the progress on the potion to reallocate Attribute Points?"

"I’m still researching; if you could collect all kinds of herbs and wildflowers, I would be very grateful..." the professor began listing out a dozen different names all in one breath.

But Lin Yi asked him to list them and give the list to Immanuel, as it would be easier for the people of Lille to collect those items.

After dinner, Lin Yi went straight home.

He decided to transfer the vending machine earnings the next morning.

Right now, he really wanted to level up his "Regeneration" skill to Level 4.

The last time he leveled up the skill in bed, the bed was covered with shed dead skin.

For safety’s sake, he sat on the chair.

"Invest Skill Points into ’Regeneration’!"

[Warning!]

You are trying to enhance a skill beyond your species’ designated level limit.

Conducting skill check...

Skill check completed. Due to its characteristics, the unique "Regeneration" skill level can be enhanced.

Conducting level check...

Level check completed.

Conducting species check...

[Warning!]

Your species cannot enhance "Regeneration" to Level 4!

[Warning!]

The "Regeneration" skill allows for forced evolution; your DNA will be extended and enhanced.

Once you become a member of a more advanced species, you will no longer be human.

[Do you agree?]

"Shelter, are you crazy?!"

"Level 4 is the realm of super creatures, and most species have their innate Skills capped at Level 3."

"If I upgrade my Skills and am no longer human, can I still have children?"

"With the Level 4 ’Regeneration’ Skill, you can impregnate female members of any species in the Milky Way Galaxy."

"That sounds kind of... frightening..."

"Considering your propensity for breeding with alien species, that comment seems quite fitting."

"By the way, about Malala... did she survive? Never mind, I agree to modify my DNA."

"Understood, relax and enjoy the process."

Lin Yi had a sarcastic remark ready, but a surge of intense pain hit him, forcing him to clench his teeth, his fingers digging into the chair’s armrest tightly.

Every cell in his body was being reshaped, and the pain was unbearable.

During the evolution process, Lin Yi convulsed, his body temperature reached 41.7 degrees Celsius, and he was drenched in sweat, his veins bulging as if they would explode at any moment.

Worst of all, he remained conscious throughout.

He desperately wanted to pass out, but for some reason, he just couldn’t...

The pain lasted for about an hour until he finally lost consciousness.

~~~~~~

Russia, Nizhny Novgorod.

The ruler’s headquarters.

"Chief! We’ve got a big problem here!" a red-haired man shouted, bursting into the office.

"What happened?!" a pale-faced, red-haired young woman muttered, suddenly looking up.

She had been designing the city’s government structure all day, trying to break free from the heavy workload, and now some "big problem" had arisen...

"The Vending Machine... it’s not working! It’s malfunctioning!" The young fellow gasped.

He ran to Tatiana’s office in a panic, as fast as he could.

"Damn... let’s go!"

Tatiana jumped up from behind the desk and ran towards the building housing the Vending Machine.

The headquarters itself was a fortress in the city’s center.

The main armed forces of the city and the most important facilities were located here, including the critical infrastructure.

A power plant Tatiana spent a fortune on purchasing from the Ivanov Amazonians.

This system’s equipment operated on biomass and Energy Cores. They didn’t have much biomass, but they had a mountain of Energy Cores.

Tatiana rushed out of the building, heading to the heavily guarded Vending Machine building.

The guards, seeing their leader’s expression, tried to avoid her as much as possible and said nothing.

"It... got bigger!" Tatiana panted as she saw the Vending Machine.

"And there are new products!"

"Water? What do we need water for? Fuel? What?! There’s a Skill Book in here!"

"What?! Impossible... it’s a Flame Skill Book! What else?! A ’Slaughterer-2’ Power Armor?! 25,000 Coins!"

"Ivan, get the money for me!"

"Okay, boss!"

"Wait, stop! Call everyone over!"

"Okay, boss!"

All the important figures in the city quickly gathered in front of the Vending Machine, where they saw three sets of Power Armor and a pile of Flame Skill Books.

"This thing is amazing! With this Armor, I can actually turn into a bear, and my claws and fur are tougher than before!"

said a forty-year-old man as he climbed out of a set of heavy "Slaughterer" Armor.

"These instructions are pretty reliable."

All the Power Armors had instruction manuals taped onto them.

They were simple 3x5-sized paper sheets with instructions written in Russian on how to use the Power Armor, its performance, pros and cons, and how to repair and maintain it.

"We can only buy 20 sets, boss..."

"Maybe we’ll get more in the future. But right now, the most important thing is the Skill Book! Hahaha! Real Skills!"

Fire erupted from the woman’s hand.

She had learned the Skill to ensure its usefulness, and she was thrilled. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Aleksey, Kaga, gather everyone who wants to be Flame Mages!

Get them all to learn this Skill and upgrade it to Level 5, roast those monsters in the forest!"

The same thing occurred in Kazan, Yaroslavl, and Ulyanovsk.

These cities’ Vending Machines were also at Level 2, featuring the same products.

A day passed, and Tatiana and her team returned to the Vending Machine.

But this time, they didn’t see Power Armor or Skill Books; they saw potatoes and various types of Ammunition, which were also quite good.

Everyone was surprised again the next day.

Now they could trade old equipment for new gear at a very reasonable price.

The Vending Machine didn’t have many product lanes.

But it had Level 2 and Level 3 Armor (full set), Magic Staff, Mage Gloves, and Bow.

Tatiana spent all their remaining money to upgrade the equipment as much as possible.

Of course, prioritizing Magic Weapons and Armor.

"Ivan! We need Coins immediately, who knows what they’ll sell tomorrow?!" Tatiana exclaimed with shining eyes.

"Do you want me to gather the troops?"

"Yes, let’s go hunting! Also, let’s test our new equipment." The woman smiled contentedly.
