Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 299 The Power of Battleship Heavy Artillery!

Faced with such a grand scene, some of the high-ranking members of the Li family who had come with Li Hao, as well as the logistics and supply teams in the camp, finally realized what was happening and hurriedly fled back to the Oasis warship without looking back.

Only in the arena, Li Hao, clad in his rock horse armor, and the bishop remained unmoved.

Bai Ye, who was hiding in the shadows, was still a little nervous, but she was not afraid. After all, apart from the wolf pack leader, Lang Ao, the other evolved wild wolves posed no threat to her.

Even when attacked by the combined forces of three early-stage Tier 2 wild wolf beasts, the offspring of Lang Ao, Bai Ye could easily escape and even launch a counterattack.

To prepare for this operation, she came fully armed. Although her power armor was worn out, it had been modified by her deputy, Mary, and had become her exclusive equipment.

Not to mention the row of sealed iron canisters around his waist, each containing a large amount of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. Through space folding technology, the capacity is expanded, with one liter of space able to store five liters of liquid.

Liquid hydrogen has the highest calorific value among all common substances, three times higher than gasoline and more than ten times that of standard TNT, making it the primary fuel used in spaceflight.

Although its burning rate is not as fast as that of explosives, it is compressed by Bai Ye's spatial ability to generate a velocity of several thousand meters per second. At the same time, it can also form a chain reaction, rapidly spreading the flames of thousands of degrees to cover a radius of hundreds of meters.

Its explosive power is comparable to the level 22 armor-piercing cannon in Lin Feng's hands, and it can easily deal with the early stage of the second-tier wild wolf behemoth.

As for the other first-stage evolved wild wolves, they couldn't even get close to Bai Ye, so no matter how many there were, it would be meaningless.

The only one to worry about is Wolf Ao, who is the leader of the wolf clan and has evolved to level 29.

Fortunately, the giant wolf's target at this moment was the Rock Horse Warrior who had advanced to the late stage of the second tier in the arena, and the one responsible for intercepting it head-on was the level 29 Bishop.

Bai Ye's mission was to disrupt and restrain Lang Ao, while also intercepting one of his early-stage second-tier offspring and another second-tier offspring that launched an attack from the left side of Oasis Avenue.

Avoid letting them interfere with the head-to-head showdown.

At the same time, when necessary, they must also participate in the fierce battle on the front lines, using their spatial abilities to help Li Hao and the bishop avoid fatal blows.

While spatial abilities are questionable in terms of offensive power, the ability to teleport and switch positions makes Bai Ye invincible. If this effect is used on teammates, it can also help avoid many dangerous situations.

The three strongest warriors were ready for battle, while in the command and control room of the Oasis warship five kilometers away...

The operators and the acting captain, Daisuke, also noticed the changes happening in the distance immediately and saw with their own eyes on the main screen that the wasteland wolf pack, led by their leader, Wolf Ao, launched an attack.

A massive cloud of smoke and dust billowed up, resembling an apocalyptic sandstorm.

The well-prepared crew had already activated the Oasis battleship's super firepower capabilities and were ready for battle.

On the steel warship, below the bow on both sides, beneath the Oasis Cathedral above, two iron plates of the outer shell slowly descended, pulled by iron locks as thick as thighs, revealing launch windows several meters wide inside.

Immediately afterwards, two steel pipes, each about twenty meters long and as thick as a football cannon, were slowly pushed out and pointed diagonally upwards toward the left, ten kilometers away.

The cannon barrel has an inner diameter of 20 centimeters and a caliber of 200 millimeters. A single heavy shell is as tall as a person and weighs over 100 kilograms. It would take at least two level-nine enhanced humans to lift and push it into the breech, and then load it with 100 kilograms of propellant at the breech.

After closing the breechblock at the bottom of the cannon and locking it, adjust the firing angle, and then pull the firing rope to ignite the gunpowder with the firing pin, thus launching the heavy cannon more than ten kilometers away.

A 200mm caliber heavy cannon is powerful enough to kill early to mid-stage Tier 2 behemoths, dealing up to 1,000 damage. Even late-stage Tier 2 beings would find it difficult to withstand the devastating impact of a heavy cannon explosion.

The only problem is whether it can accurately hit a target moving at high speed.

At this moment, as the leader of the wolf clan and the lead wolf in this surprise attack, Lang Ao's movement speed was actually not fast.

Maintain a steady pace of 100 meters per second.

The reason it didn't unleash its fastest speed was mainly to allow the evolved wolf pack behind it to keep up, thus concealing its movements.

On the other hand, it also conserves energy, keeping them in peak condition for the upcoming intense battle.

Although for a level 29 giant wolf, the rock horse behemoth that has just entered the late stage of the second tier is a good hunting target, and it can also defeat the opponent without pressure in a one-on-one battle.

However, if faced with several late-stage rock horse behemoths at the same time, even someone as powerful as Lang Ao would have to be cautious.

After all, the opponent possessed immense brute strength, releasing power equivalent to several tons, and his terracotta armor was over a meter thick, requiring repeated biting and tearing to break through.

The pair of horns on the head of the Rock Horse Beast are made of the same material as its armor. Although they are not as strong as the specialized steel wolf fangs, their hardness is far superior to that of wolf skin.

If you're not careful, the sharp horns can pierce your skin and penetrate your body.

They might even cut open their abdomens, leaving their intestines and other organs scattered on the ground, leaving them in a critically injured and near-death state.

Even more dangerous than being gored by the horns on the head of the giant rock horse is the damage from the iron hooves of a stampede of horses.

If it's just a single rock horse behemoth, it's fine, since even if it accidentally falls, it can get up and dodge in time. But once the rock horse behemoths come in groups, several or even a dozen at a time, they use their limbs and iron hooves to trample their hundreds-ton behemoth bodies on their enemies...

Under such immense pressure, not to mention a level 29 Wolf Ao, even human-built steel warships and mobile fortresses would be instantly shattered.

Therefore, even if Lang Ao were lucky enough to discover a gathering of second-tier rock horse giants, he would not dare to rashly lead the wolf clan to launch an attack.

After all, the destructive power of the Rock Horse Beast is equally terrifying.

At this moment, Lang Ao's target was just a rock horse warrior who had just moved from the mid-stage of the second tier to the late stage.

Furthermore, his body armor was only a mid-tier Tier 2 Rock Horse Armor, equivalent to the weakest late-stage Rock Horse Beast wearing a mid-tier armor layer...

For Lang Ao, it was a delicious feast delivered right to his door, with absolutely no risk.

There's no need to worry about being retaliated against by the rocky giants, nor is there any possibility of being surrounded and ganged up on.

The only problem is the level 29 church monk standing to the side, who is probably the highest administrator of the oasis, the bishop from the church.

After coercing and enticing Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army, to establish a cooperation, Lang Ao also learned all the information about Oasis Town from her.

Especially the existing high-end combat forces in Oasis Town.

There is only one level 29 being and three mid-stage second-tier powerhouses. The remaining early-stage second-tier evolvers have little impact on the situation and are not a cause for concern.

Most importantly, this being, who is only at level 29, is over 900 years old and nearing the end of his life, with less than 100 years left to live.

This also means that although the other party comes from the Holy Spring Cult and possesses greater power through the Holy Spring Path, the limitation of nearing the end of their lifespan remains.

Even if they still have the strength to fight, they only have one last chance to return to their peak. After exhausting their life force, they will die on the spot.

That's why Lang Ao was willing to take the risk and lead the wolf army to launch a proactive attack.

However, having not fought with humans for thousands of years, Lang Ao overlooked a very important point.

That is, over these thousands of years, humanity is no longer the chaotic and disordered being of the Dark Ages of the past, and civilization is no longer at the level of scrap metal and mere weapons. Instead, after thousands of years of stable development and the hard work of the major powers, humanity has finally recovered most of its past technological level. Although it still lacks in advanced weaponry, its heavy artillery is in no way inferior to that of the old Earth era.

Back then, even with a significantly lower level of evolution, humans used their long guns and cannons to suppress the invasion of mutated beasts. Now, they can also use the power of artillery to launch long-range attacks on the wolf army!

As Lang Ao intentionally slowed down to allow the wolf pack behind him to catch up, its massive body, over twenty meters long, was precisely captured by the high-speed camera of the Oasis warship ten kilometers away.

Through data transmission and computer-aided calculations, the route of the largest beast was quickly calculated and simulated.

Next is the set of coordinates with the highest hit rate.

After transmitting the coordinates to the weapons department, the artillery unit located below the bow of the ship immediately entered a state of high alert, quickly adjusting the muzzle angles and locking onto the coordinate area.

It's a space of about 200 square meters.

A 15-meter by 15-meter grid area is also the range within which a 200mm caliber battle gun can achieve a complete kill.

Within this 15-meter diameter, any life form below the third rank would be blasted to pieces. Even a late-stage second-rank rock horse behemoth would find it difficult to withstand the devastating blow.

After all, the speed of the cannonball has already exceeded the speed of sound, and the impact force of the cannon head alone is comparable to the full-force attack of a level 29 evolved powerhouse.

The TNT explosives inside the shell, weighing up to 100 kilograms, can sweep away and destroy an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius.

The impact force of supersonic speed, the explosive impact at a speed of up to 6,000 meters per second, and the burning heat at thousands of degrees...

As long as one is still made of flesh and blood, no one can withstand such a blow.

So, with everything ready and the launch point given by the computer about to arrive...

Under the command of the artillery captain, without hesitation, he pulled the traction rope on the trigger. The firing pin ignited the gunpowder pack at the bottom of the barrel, and the intense combustion caused the air to expand, propelling the shell out of the muzzle at supersonic speed.

It transforms into a graceful parabola on the horizon, precisely aimed at the target.

Because of the supersonic speed of the shells, the impact speed was faster than the sound of the cannon fire. In addition, the surrounding smoke and dust and the vibrations from running interfered with the attack. Lang Ao, who was focused on the run, did not notice the deadly attack that was about to come from ten kilometers away.

At this moment, the Wilderness Wolf Clan had already covered two kilometers and was only a kilometer away from the arena where the duel was to take place.

Just as the two sides were about to clash and begin their first battle, a red light streaked across the sky, flashed across the arena, and flew straight toward the charging pack of wolves.

But at this critical moment, Wolf Ao's biological instincts suddenly issued a fierce warning, setting off alarm bells in his mind.

So it followed its instincts and suddenly leaped, its nearly 100-ton body soaring lightly into the air.

BOOM!!
The moment it left its original position, a violent explosion occurred right where Lang Ao was standing. Iron fragments and rocks flew everywhere, and with a visible impact, a fireball rose up, eventually turning into a gray-yellow mushroom cloud.

Even Lang Ao, who was hovering in mid-air, was affected by the impact of the explosion. His huge body immediately became unsteady, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

The steel-like bristles on the wolf's tail were partially engulfed by the exploding fireball, turning into semi-molten iron under the scorching heat of over a thousand degrees, and drooped down.

Fortunately, it dodged in time, and apart from some damage to its tail, the rest of the impacts were just from small pieces of rock and iron, which were no big deal for Wolf Ao, who had evolved to level 29.

However, the army of evolved wolves following behind Lang Ao was not so lucky.

The three late-stage Tier 1 leader-level giant wolves that followed were directly engulfed by the explosion and blasted to pieces on the spot.

Hundreds of other evolved wild wolves nearby were also affected, their internal organs shattered and their bodies pierced by flying pieces of iron and rocks.

Although the center of the explosion was only twenty meters in radius, the secondary damage affected an area of ​​one hundred meters, directly disrupting the wolf pack's charging formation.

Before Lang Ao and the rest of the evolved wild wolves could react, the second 200mm caliber cannon, with a sharp whistling sound, was aimed directly at the spot near where Lang Ao had been knocked away.

BOOM! ! !

Another giant cannon has landed!
This time, although the exact location of Lang Ao was not pinpointed, Lang Ao, who had just been hit by the explosion, was unable to dodge in less than half a second.

This time, Lang Ao's hindquarters were completely engulfed by the explosion's flames.

The intense heat damaged the steel wolf skin covering its body. Once the defenses were broken, the iron fragments and rubble from the explosion pierced into Lang Ao's body like sharp knives.

The high-temperature metal jet directly carbonizes the muscle tissue beneath the wolf's skin, and cooks the secondary flesh along the way into cooked meat.

Even with only a slight impact, the power of the giant cannon nearly took Lang Ao's life.

Originally, he had a thousand health points, but the explosion instantly consumed a third of them, leaving him no longer at his peak.

The repeated and intense bombings also stirred up long-dormant memories in Lang Ao's mind, from that crazy era of the old Earth.

Countless evolved wolf packs were instantly torn apart by the relentless bombardment from human artillery lines.

Only a select few elites can use the cover of night to storm into the enemy lines and engage in close-quarters combat with humans, thereby gaining the upper hand.

Upon being awakened, Wolf Ao spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately let out a howl.

"Woooooo~"

Order your evolved wolf army to immediately disperse and move to both sides, avoiding clustering together to prevent being wiped out by human long-range bombardment.

Then, dragging his mangled body, he moved left and right while rapidly charging toward his target.

Lang Ao knew in his heart that the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released.

If a retreat is ordered, not only will our objective be exposed and so many of our people be lost, but morale will also plummet, severely impacting our offensive plans.

Only by pressing forward and getting as close as possible to the opponent, engaging in close combat, can one avoid being targeted by the giant cannon in a short period of time.

So the next moment, Lang Ao directly used the power of the third-tier wolf king within his body, burning a portion of his third-tier cells.

Not only did it allow the injuries to his lower body to heal rapidly, but it also gave him some third-tier power, greatly increasing his strength.

Then it transformed into a gray streak of light, bursting at near-sonic speeds, and rushed toward the rock horse warrior who was lying prostrate on the ground!

Upon seeing this, the bishop immediately dodged and swung his level 24 wolf-tooth spear to intercept.

One of them exuded the aura of a third-tier wolf king, while the other unleashed the boundless power of the Lord of the Holy Spring.

A fierce battle between peak second-tier powerhouses is about to erupt!
