Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 338 Settlement of Gains, Team Restructuring, and Transactions
Lin Feng nodded slightly.

He then bid farewell to Father Suan:
"Then see you in the Holy City!"

The latter nodded and then stepped forward:

"I also have some things to take care of in Holy Spring Village, so it'll be convenient for me to give you a farewell dinner then..."

Lin Feng nodded.

The three then turned and ran toward the five villages behind them, while the villages and people who had fallen behind were about to catch up with the oasis warship ahead.

Once the two sides reunite, the complete Oasis Town will be formed.

Back at the convoy's camp, Lin Feng saw that the team had grown several times larger, comparable to the former Five Great Villages.

Meanwhile, the nearby farm village appeared dilapidated and sparsely populated.

After all, the village had 2,300 people. If 1,300 of them were taken away, it would be equivalent to losing about 60 percent of the members and property, leaving only 40 percent of the original population.

A significant portion of them were members of the Li family.

Most of the people in the village who truly mastered the breeding techniques were taken away, leaving only a few charlatans and a few experienced individuals who were too old to endure the long journey.

And dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled rock horned horses.

The once-thriving farm village, with a population of up to 3,000, now has fewer than 1,700 residents and is in decline.

The situation was much better in Shuguang Village and Jiche Village, since Lin Feng only took 150 out of their approximately 1,500 industrial workers with him.

Reducing the size by only one-tenth is hardly a big deal for the village as a whole.

But this was not the outcome they wanted. Without the raw materials provided by the farm village, their businesses would only gradually shrink and wither away...

Unfortunately, the leaders of the two villages did not consider this when they caused the trouble.

Although they could save their own village, they could not provide shelter for Farm Village. After losing two second-tier evolved beings in succession, the Li family would rather sell Farm Village for a good price than become slaves of the church for eternity.

In addition to the actions of the former family head, Li Hao, although the bishop promised not to pursue the matter further, the bishop is about to pass away, and his promise can only guarantee that the Oasis Church will not purge the Li family for the time being...

Who can guarantee that after the Holy City Bishopric takes over, it won't vent its anger on the Li family in the face of the devastated Oasis Town, using it as a warning to the surviving forces in the Oasis?

It is precisely the indulgence of the remaining members of the Li family that has led to the current decline and decay of Nongzhuang Village.

However, in a sense, this is actually a good thing for the Holy City Church, which will take over Oasis Town later, since it will not be so troublesome to suppress and dismantle local forces.

Lin Feng has already helped them dismantle the largest faction, and the others, such as Shuguang Village and Jiche Village, are unlikely to pose a significant threat anymore.

Moreover, the more than 1,300 breeding technicians were not all Lin Feng's people. Four hundred of them were to be given to the Salvation Army as compensation for their risky defection and support of Oasis Town.

In addition, there are quotas for redeeming the Li family members, approximately 150 people.

Therefore, Lin Feng currently has a maximum of 750 breeding technicians under his command, and 20 of the 120 rockhorses must be given to the Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army made a concession on this point.

Because they have a stronger foundation, they have a certain reserve of Rockhorn meat, as well as the young Rockhorn herd they captured in the Wild Rift.

Therefore, they need technicians to raise and breed the rockhorse herd more than living rockhorse.

Four hundred technicians are sufficient to care for about forty rockhorse, laying an important foundation for subsequent expansion.

Lin Feng has 750 technicians and about 100 rock horned horses under his command.

This is enough to provide the caravan with two early-stage Tier 1 Rockhorse adults every day as their daily meat consumption.

This will greatly alleviate the food shortage for the convoy.

When Lin Feng arrived at the core of the camp, Ding Yi, who was compiling statistics, immediately handed over her work to her deputy Rong Yan and her daughter Rong Zhiyun.

Then they came to report the results:

"Currently, the technical personnel and industries have been counted and transferred from the three villages. Following the list provided by Zhao Mingsheng, Nongzhuang Village has taken all its breeding members and their families with them."

“Some of the unruly troublemakers were handed over directly to the Salvation Army for handling.”

"The remaining 300 people to be selected from Shuguang Village and Jiche Village will follow the advice of Cheng Wentian, the captain of the mechanical repair team."

“After each of the two families took 150 people, they then gave 50 more to the Salvation Army.”

“We took away one hundred of them, as well as a large number of photovoltaic panels, batteries and motor systems from Shuguang Village, and tanks and transport wagons from Jiche Village.”

"In addition to their original industrial vehicles and dormitory buses, these resources can be used to build two hundred armored vehicles and transport vehicles, and provide jobs and accommodation for a thousand people."

"This will lay a solid foundation for the team's future expansion."

Lin Feng nodded. For his newly established racing team, which had started from scratch, everything was lacking.

Naturally, we need to extract more resources from the three major villages.

Since it's free, why not take it? If you don't take it, you'll have to buy it again in the Holy City later anyway.

Ding Yi then summarized:

"Currently, we originally had fifty people. After Rong Yan's statistics and screening, out of one hundred people, only about fifty are qualified. The remaining fifty can only be high-level slaves and will be sold after arriving in the Holy City."

"There are a total of one hundred members here."

"After this great battle, most of the original members have become first-tier evolved beings."

"The manpower collected from the three major villages, including the breeding technicians and their families from Nongzhuang Village, totaling 750 people, and the two hundred people from Shuguang Village and Jiche Village, totaling 950 people."

"Among them, there are about three hundred evolved individuals, and the rest are family members, who are basically in the later stages of enhancement."

"Besides that, there are 150 people from the Li family. They are all evolved beings, but they bring their own food and only follow behind us, so they are not counted."

"According to the statistics, our team currently has a total of 1,050 people, including 400 first-tier evolvers."

"Regarding the living assets, there are one hundred Rockhorn horses, including forty Tier 1 Rockhorn horses, led by a mature, leader-level male Rockhorn horse, and sixty cubs and young Rockhorn horses."

"This leader-level Rockhorn Horse has become obedient and calmed down under the pressure of the divine dog, which has successfully advanced to the late stage of the first tier." "With the cooperation of the divine dog, we can successfully expand the scale of Rockhorn Horse breeding in the future, and even let the Rockhorn Horse roam freely and train the divine dog as a sheepdog."

"Secondly, there are the fifty imprisoned citizens. They are all evolved beings. Fortunately, they were fed a lot of evolved meat on the way. Once they arrive in the Holy City, they need to be sold as soon as possible to exchange for the resources needed by the caravan."

"The above is the statistics on personnel."

"The current arrangement is to expand the original team composition, from a 20-person combat team to 200 people, selected from qualified civilians and industry personnel."

"The combat squad is upgraded to an armed regiment, with you, the leader, serving as the regimental commander, Chen Shanshan as the deputy regimental commander, and the rest divided into two battalions, with the original captain, A-Lian, and Ma Chenfeng serving as battalion commanders."

"And so on."

"The original 30-person logistics support team has been expanded to 300 people, and they are also selected from industry personnel to be responsible for daily tasks such as eating, drinking, cleaning and sanitation."

"The logistics department is composed of 300 people, with me as the head and Rong Yan as the deputy head. It is divided into three directions, responsible for daily food and lodging, vehicle transportation, and internal security."

"The defense force is responsible for maintaining order within the force and can also promote outstanding members to become armed team members, enjoying higher-level benefits."

"In the end, there are 550 people left, all of whom are recruited industry personnel, mainly engaged in the rockhorse breeding industry. Among them, 450 people are responsible for the entire production chain of rockhorse breeding, production and slaughter. The supervisor position is currently vacant. My suggestion is to split it into three or four people later to prevent the position from having too much power."

"The remaining one hundred people will be put under Cheng Wentian's command. He will be responsible for setting up the tram department, which will be in charge of the research and maintenance of electrical equipment, as well as the vehicle manufacturing for the entire team."

"In this way, the entire team is divided into three major departments, which are responsible for armed protection, logistics and internal affairs, and maintaining production, respectively."

"The core members number around twelve and form a council to report to you on the specific work progress."

After listening to Ding Yi's summary and arrangements,

Lin Feng nodded; it suited his taste perfectly.

Now that the family is large and the business is big, we can no longer directly interfere in every little detail as we did before.

Firstly, he didn't have the energy to handle these things, and secondly, as the team expanded, Lin Feng couldn't acquire as much professional knowledge to provide guidance.

In the process of development, the worst thing to do is to let laymen guide experts.

Therefore, Lin Feng only needs to listen to the project leaders of his departments report on the interim results and then check the results.

The specific strategies and solutions can be left to the professionals.

Just as Lin Feng couldn't personally study the Steppenwolf's gene sequence and develop a safe and stable evolution agent through numerous experiments.

Although Lin Feng was capable of completing the task, these trivial matters would consume a lot of his energy, affecting his own strength improvement and progress.

Therefore, it is more suitable to entrust it to brain evolutionists like Ding Yi.

However, at the moment, Lin Feng is more concerned about the results of the team's battles over the past few days than about personnel arrangements.

Then he opened his mouth and asked:
"Do you have a rough statistical overview of the collected evolved wild wolf corpses?"

"For now, let the logistics team process the corpses of the evolved wild wolves. The main task is to collect all the evolved flesh and blood, extract the wild wolf essence, and provide sufficient raw materials for subsequent research on the evolution path of wild wolves, as well as for selling wild wolf evolution agents in the Holy City."

Ding Yi nodded. This was also the most crucial task ahead, so she pulled out another stack of reports:
"The results that have been compiled so far..."

"There are a total of 1,858 heads."

"Among them, Nongzhuang Village sent 320 head, Shuguang Village sent 250 head, and Jiche Village sent 280 head."

"There are a total of 850 wolves in the three villages. Although there are still a few dozen left, considering their individual losses, they need to be replenished with the flesh and blood of evolved wild wolves. Therefore, we allow them to leave some behind."

"Although Farm Village lost two second-tier evolvers, we provided maximum support to protect its important assets. In addition, the Li family itself has a strong foundation, so Farm Village is second only to us in terms of results in the battle against the Wasteland Wolves among the five major villages."

"Therefore, the number of evolved wild wolf corpses handed over was the largest, with dozens of them even being brought along by the Li family headquarters and currently stored in Zhao Mingsheng's team."

"In addition to these 850 animals, there are also 200 animals sent by the Fifth Village Hunting Guild, as well as some artillery refunds. For the smaller amount, Guild Master Xu Wanfeng also agreed to exchange weapons, equipment, and evolution agents."

"In exchange, we received some armor, large-caliber rifles, as many as fifty Tier 1 early-stage Rockhorse evolution agents, twenty mid-stage evolution agents, and five late-stage evolution agents."

"These are prepared as rewards for outstanding members who fought bravely and made numerous contributions in this operation."

"In addition, the remaining 808 wasteland wolf carcasses came from ourselves and Holy Spring Village."

"Of course, the majority were killed by our artillery, which numbered over five hundred. The remaining three hundred were the result of your personal command when you led the team to the rear of Oasis Town to repel the remaining wolf pack."

"Currently, these 1,858 horses have been handed over to the logistics department for centralized processing. They are being supervised by the original members, with Shangmin responsible for cutting the evolved meat, and some members of the Rockhorse breeding industry also handling the rest."

"They have been handling rockhorse carcasses for many years and are very experienced in dissecting and dissecting large evolved wild beasts."

"As for the strength level of the evolved wild wolves, there are no specific statistics yet. I plan to wait until Chen Shanshan and the others return from collecting wolf corpses before conducting a final count."

Lin Feng nodded, and Chen Shanshan led the team back to the route the Salvation Army had taken to break through. Along the way, she killed and severely injured many evolved wild wolves.

Adding them all up, there are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand.

The wolf pack leader's retreat was sudden. Wolf Ao and the remaining second-tier wild wolf giant ran north without looking back, chasing after the fleeing Han Tao.

Therefore, the thousands of wolf soldiers that followed were almost like headless flies, losing a unified command and control, breaking into small tribes of a dozen or so, each fighting their own battles.

This will provide favorable conditions for Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan to subsequently eliminate them.

So Chen Shanshan might bring another big surprise.

After listening to the summary, Lin Feng saw the Salvation Army following the edge of Oasis Town not far away and asked:
Has the Salvation Army sent anyone?

Ding Yi nodded, then shook her head:
“They sent people, and Lisa is in the group.”

"However, they said they want you to go there in person to finalize the details of the deal with Chief Bai Ye."

"Besides the technicians in the rockhorse industry, there are also some wild people."

"The Salvation Army seems unwilling to exchange the evolved wolf's corpse for it, and intends to use something else..."

"For example, pure life essence."
