Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Upon hearing Zong Shiyue's whispered words, Lin Feng paused, then calmly replied using his mental power:
"spy?"

"How could such a thing exist? You mean church members? Did they attract the attention of the Southern Temple of Mount Zhuma?"

Besides Shen Yue, who had gone undercover with the team, the only other member of the group was Su Yueyue, who was sleeping in a hibernation chamber where the holy spring water was extremely pure.

The power of the sacred spring is indeed easily perceived by high-ranking beings within the temple, or directly observed by the Lord of the Sacred Spring.

This made Zong Shiyue, who was considered an evil god and hated by everyone, feel so nervous.

However, Zong Shiyue's response differed greatly from Lin Feng's prediction:

"No, that gaze was merely the dissipation of the Holy Spring's power."

"Just like a magnetic field, it is imperceptible to ordinary matter, but when electrons pass by, they can interact and create ripples. Therefore, any life form with outstanding spiritual power will be able to detect the energy fluctuations emanating from the temple."

"You don't need to be worried. After the Lord of the Holy Spring fell into a long slumber, he was left with only an empty shell of a god without consciousness."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have stood by and watched the Holy Spring Church decay into its current state."

"As for the other beings in the temple, as messengers of the gods and fanatical followers of the Lord of the Holy Spring, they only have the gods they worship in their eyes. As long as they do not step into the area covered by divine power, they will ignore even an evil being like me."

After listening to Zong Shiyue's explanation, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he realized that if it weren't for the watchful gaze of the temple, the danger that could make Zong Shiyue so nervous and anxious would probably be no less perilous.

So Lin Feng quickly asked:
"If it has nothing to do with the church, then what is it?"

"Could this be a backup plan arranged by the Li family?"

Currently, among the thousands of people in the entire convoy, more than one hundred are the backbone of the Li family. They obtained their departure slots by exchanging their rock hornbill horse breeding techniques and professional personnel.

To avoid becoming slaves to the church in the future, and also to avoid being suppressed and divided up by the church's higher-ups after losing the protection of the second-tier evolved beings, and even to be used as an opportunity to settle scores with the Li family after this rebellion and power grab.

However, Lin Feng's deal with them was limited to borrowing the bishop's promise to take them away from Oasis Town.

Currently, we are all companions supporting each other on the wasteland, but once we reach the Stormy Holy City ahead, we will definitely part ways.

There was absolutely no need for the Li family to plant spies.

Unless they intend to launch a second rebellion within the ranks before reaching the Holy City, and plunder the vast resources held by Lin Feng.

However, for a third-rate caravan that doesn't even have a second-tier evolved human, this is simply courting death.

Not to mention that Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan, who have completed their evolution, could easily deal with them, A-Lian and Ma Chenfeng, who are both at the peak of the first tier and have evolved to level nineteen and possess power armor, could wipe out the current Li family team.

After all, without the support of the Rock Horse Armor, in the first stage of evolution, the strength of the Rock Horse Warrior is not much different from that of an ordinary evolved being.

As for the Li family, they currently only have some elderly evolved individuals left, so they can't cause any trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng frowned slightly.

If it's not the Li family, then eliminating all possibilities, there's only one left: the Wilderness Hunting Guild, which is second only to the church in Oasis Town.

And the other party did indeed have someone mixed in with the team.

Xu Wanshuang, the former vice president of the Wilderness Hunting Guild.

With a convoy cobbled together by the Hunting Wilderness Guild, they followed Lin Feng out of Oasis Town after he set off.

They had to send a large number of wasteland wolf carcasses to the Holy City.

Storm City has a large branch of the Wilderness Hunter Guild, headed by a Tier 3 Hunter King, while the Oasis Town guild is just one branch under that guild.

This time, upon returning to the Holy City, in addition to processing and exchanging the Wasteland Wolf resources I have, I also need to truthfully report the changes that have occurred in Oasis Town.

Just like Father Su An arranged for Shen Yue to accompany Lin Feng's convoy to the Holy City to report on his duties.

As the younger sister of Guild Leader Xu Wanfeng, Xu Wanshuang not only possesses level 19 evolutionary strength but also a set of power armor. Furthermore, given the powerful background of the Hunter Wilderness Guild, she may have other hidden trump cards.

For example, it can rival the power of a late-stage second-tier weapon, or even be comparable to a third-tier weapon.

In just a few seconds, Lin Feng mentally scanned the long queue. However, after hesitating for a few seconds, Zong Shiyue gave Lin Feng an unexpected reply:

"No, it's not them..."

"These people haven't even reached the second stage of evolution, how could they possibly be worthy of my attention..."

"Just as you, with your extremely high spiritual power, can feel the gaze from the Zhuma Temple, as beings above the third rank, I can also naturally exude my own energy aura."

"However, with the isolation provided by the black lead box, this energy fluctuation, as long as it is not brought close, will not cause gene mutations to spread and cause pollution."

"But the area covered by this constantly released energy can detect any unusual activity."

"Just now, I sensed an unfamiliar energy entering the area it covered. Although the energy level of the other party is very low, not even reaching the third level, it poses a great threat to me."

"The aberration factors contained in the released energy are directly torn apart and purified, just like the aberrations being directly exposed to the scorching sun. The fragile genetic information within the aberration cells is no match for the bombardment of high-energy particles."

"Just now, for a brief moment, I sensed a very subtle fluctuation of the sun's energy. Although it was brief and weak, my instincts are never wrong."

"This spy might be a remnant of the Sun God Cult."

"These guys angered the Holy Spring Cult hundreds of years ago. After being wiped out by the cult, they lost their power and at most only a few second-tier priests are left to eke out a living..."

"Perhaps the attack by the Wasteland Wolf Clan caused a large number of deaths, which led to abnormal fluctuations in the Sun Forbidden Zone behind Oasis Town. This attracted the Sun Demons from the Forbidden Zone, which in turn drew the Sun Cult followers who had been wandering within a radius of hundreds of kilometers to come and investigate."

After listening to Zong Shiyue's description, Lin Feng walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor, looked at the convoy behind him through the glass, and squinted his eyes.

If Zong Shiyue was referring to the energy of the blazing sun, then that explanation seems plausible.

After all, there are two people in Lin Feng's team who possess the energy of the blazing sun.

One is Su Yueyue, who has been infected with a curse since childhood.

The other is Liu Qian, who awakened her energy and manipulated superpowers, but absorbed a large amount of blazing sun energy.

The latter, in particular, uses his special ability to empower bullets and shells, not only greatly increasing the lethality of these weapons, but also being used by Lin Feng as a backup plan against Zong Shiyue.

It is an effective way to solve major disasters in the future.

With the crisis of the Wilderness Wolf Clan invasion successfully resolved, Lin Feng collected a large amount of evolution resources, enabling the team's evolutionary strength to rapidly reach a new level.

Liu Qian, who was originally only at the mid-stage of the first tier, also received the reward she deserved and was promoted to the late-stage of the first tier.

The energy of the Blazing Sun Curse within his body has increased nearly tenfold compared to when he first awakened it...

If she were to enter the Mount Tai ruins again, Liu Qian could even use her supernatural abilities to take on a third-tier mutant in the underground shelter single-handedly.

On the sun-drenched ground, she was also the third person in the team, besides Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan, who was completely immune to the radiation pollution emitted by Zong Shiyue.

If the anomaly Zong Shiyue noticed was Liu Qian, then it wouldn't be a big problem.

After all, before Liu Qian advanced to the second tier, she posed no great threat to Lin Feng.

Even if he becomes a second-tier evolved being and triggers the spread of the curse, Lin Feng can easily kill him from a distance with his powerful firearms.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately offered words of comfort:

"Don't worry too much, it's just a momentary fluctuation. Even if there is a spy infiltrating the team, it won't have much of an impact."

"With my current strength, as long as I'm not attacked at close range by a peak second-tier expert, there's nothing below the third tier that can threaten me..."

"Naturally, it won't affect our transactions."

Hearing Lin Feng's dismissive reply, Zong Shiyue remained silent for a moment, then replied quietly:

"But what if this spy really has the destructive power of a peak second-tier cultivator, or even comparable to an early third-tier cultivator!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng frowned deeply:
"What!?" (End of Chapter)
