Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 4: Confrontation, Transaction, Holy Spring Day

Lin Feng's heart suddenly tightened. He held the level 2 high-quality revolver in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

Even after the injury to his right leg was upgraded, he could only walk slowly and could not run away.

If the captain and Ding Yi didn't want to abandon him, they had no choice but to stay where they were and pray that they would not be discovered.

But those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.

The other party was obviously following the sound of gunfire and the smell of blood.

Soon after, several thin figures appeared on the horizon not far away.

Lin Feng struggled to stand up, leaning against the rock wall, trying not to expose his injury.

Chen Shanshan glanced at the gun in the man's hand.

The latter nodded in affirmation.

The Type 05 revolver was given to him by Captain Chen. Lin Feng knew that the other party knew that the revolver only had three rounds of ammunition.

While hunting the Death Vulture, he fired six shots.

The bullet recovery function has been exposed, not to mention the new changes in the gun body state, which cannot be hidden.

Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, the hot weapons in Lin Feng's hands are the key to deterrence in the confrontation, and there is no need to hide them.

After receiving a positive response from the man, Chen Shanshan, feeling confident, raised the two-meter-long steel rod and waited for the other party to arrive.

Even if civilization regresses and order collapses, the deterrent power of guns remains enormous.

Especially among the barbarians who are short of food and medicine, being hit means being sentenced to death in advance, and no one will take the risk of robbing a team with guns.

Soon, a few barbarians who appeared in the distance stopped more than a hundred meters away from the three people.

There were four of them.

After observing Chen Shanshan and the others, one of the other party sent back the same way, while the rest of the members continued to wait and monitor.

"These are just spies. They've gone back to call for help. Should we strike first?"

Lin Feng spoke slowly and handed over the revolver.

The captain is very powerful and extremely fast. Equipped with a pistol, he can easily kill the three people in the distance and then catch up with Lin Feng and the other two.

But Chen Shanshan shook her head:
"Any deserter who can send out a four-person reconnaissance team must have at least twenty members. The sound of gunfire and death will only attract them, and they will continue to pursue us relentlessly."

"But correspondingly, a team with such strength doesn't have a strong need for food. Before any hatred is aroused, contact and negotiation are the first choice."

The captain introduced the rules of doing things in the wasteland.

The worse the condition of the savages, the more careful you should be. They are on the verge of death, so for the sake of stuttering, you can be fearless.

On the contrary, those who are strong are easier to talk to. After all, they have many concerns and caution is the first priority.

The risks and benefits must be proportional before we will take action.

Lin Feng nodded and kept it in mind.

Not long after, more than a dozen barbarians appeared from the road the other side came from, including several leaders who were dressed neatly and in good condition.

From the appearance, it can be seen that this team of barbarians is much stronger than Chen Shanshan's previous subordinates.

The team had an iron cart and a tricycle, both filled with supplies.

Seeing that the other party was not short of food, Lin Feng felt a little relieved. However, Chen Shanshan beside him narrowed her eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

Soon, three people walked out of the group of barbarians that were parked a hundred meters away. One of them was tall, about 1.9 meters tall, with bulging muscles on his exposed bronze arms, and several scars on his face, looking fierce.

You can tell at first glance that this person is not someone you want to mess with.

Lin Feng swallowed his saliva, feeling like a chicken in the eyes of this fierce man.

The three of them stopped thirty meters away.

Looking at Chen Shanshan and the others, the big man laughed and said in a joking tone:

"Captain Chen, how come there are only these two weaklings left in your team?"

"I've told you long ago that you're not fit to lead the team. Qi Shan is a traitor and a two-faced guy. He'll eventually drive you out. Given the current situation, why not join us? With your abilities, you won't have to worry about having a job."

It seems that both parties know each other, Lin Feng observed their expressions.

Chen Shanshan took a deep breath and put away the steel rod:
"Don't worry, Captain Li. We are living well."

Li Hu looked around at the group, saw the revolver in Lin Feng's hand, and then stared at the only man in the downtrodden three-man team. Suddenly, he said with interest:
"Is this your newly found survivor? She's got a nice figure, a nice butt, and she's young. Recently, there have been a few bigwigs in the Oasis who like this kind of thing in the slave market..."

"Humph, you got lucky."

"One strengthening potion, two kilograms of dried meat, and five liters of fresh water. Want to trade?"

Lin Feng's pupils shrank, his heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at the captain's back.

The development of the matter was far beyond his expectations.

Chen Shanshan frowned slightly and shook her head.

Li Hu continued:
"With your strength, you only need to inject one strengthening potion to be able to ascend to the ninth level of Enhanced Human, which is only a step away from being a first-level Evolver. With such a good offer, I can't think of any reason to refuse."

Chen Shanshan's eyes were cold as she raised the steel stick in her hand:

"I don't sell people alive, you know."

Li Hu stopped insisting. Instead, the woman beside him spoke to Lin Feng in a frivolous tone, "Little brother, the wasteland is harsh, you've experienced it before. Instead of starving among the people in the wasteland, living in fear and uncertainty, why not let us take you there to live a good life?"

"As long as you behave yourself, you'll have endless food, a safe place to stay, a soft bed, and air conditioning. The living conditions of those bigwigs are like paradise on earth..."

"Well, do you want to come with us?"

"Even if you follow Captain Chen for your entire life until you die, you won't be able to experience these things."

As she spoke, the woman changed the subject and said in a low voice:

"You better think carefully. If your skin gets dry, cracked, peeling, yellowed, and blackened after a few days, you won't deserve such good treatment!"

Lin Feng stared at the woman in front of him and suddenly smiled:

"I'm sorry, but I have the confidence to live well and I want to live longer instead of becoming someone else's plaything."

"I would rather die with dignity than beg for mercy at the mercy of others..."

After saying that, Lin Feng slowly pointed the gun at himself.

To show determination and deterrence.

He knew very well that he was only at level two, yet had a maximum health point of fifteen, while the opponent was far stronger than him, with strength and speed several times greater.

Therefore, the deterrent effect of the level 2 revolver is not that great.

But although Lin Feng couldn't threaten them, he could kill himself before they could break up.

There's no need to take action for a dead person.

Seeing this scene, several people not far away looked at Lin Feng in surprise, and Li Hu even sighed:
"Still a man."

"Chen Shanshan, your luck has finally changed."

After saying that, he turned around and led his men away.

"and many more!"

Lin Feng suddenly spoke at this time, and saw the other party turned around and pointed at the dried meat strips on the cart:

"I want to make a deal!"

Li Hu thought the other party had "changed his mind", but he didn't expect it was for this matter, so he frowned slightly:
"These few pounds of meat can't be exchanged for anything good."

Lin Feng didn't care:

"I just want fresh water."

The other party was willing to offer two kilograms of dried meat in exchange for five liters of water, which shows that there is no shortage of water.

Li Hu looked at the minced meat and the pile of death-eating vulture feathers on the cart and held up two fingers:
"Two pieces of vulture breast, four liters of fresh water."

Ding Yi and Chen Shanshan's expressions changed.

The latter even asked in a deep voice:

"A half-pound piece of dried meat can be exchanged for four liters of water. You are robbing me!"

Li Hu looked at Lin Feng and said as a matter of course:

"It's just taking advantage of the situation to rob. Or you can walk another 20 or 30 kilometers and catch up with the main group to trade. But the changes along the way are worth the price."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, facing the gazes of the two women turning around, and made up his mind:
"A piece of dried eagle breast weighs nearly half a pound. Two pieces can be exchanged for five liters of fresh water!"

Li Hu nodded and stopped bargaining:

"it is good."

After the exchange was completed, Lin Feng looked at the five plastic bottles filled with fresh water in front of him and couldn't help but salivate.

Before leaving, Li Hu reminded Chen Shanshan:

"When we came here, we saw a pack of steppe wolves. They were searching this way following the sound of gunfire. Holy Spring Day is coming soon, and we have to continue our journey. I wish you good luck!"

Chen Shanshan looked solemn as she watched them leave.

Lin Feng couldn't wait to open the bottle of water, drank half of it in one breath, and asked about what Li Hu had just said:
"What are Oasis and Holy Spring Days?"

Ding Yi picked up the remaining minced meat on the cart:
"It has something to do with where they're selling you off to. The big shot at Oasis."

"At the forefront of our famine-stricken team is a giant steel beast sailing across the Gobi Desert. It's called the Mobile Oasis."

"Every fifteen days, the people who rule the oasis hold a grand gathering to recruit servants and soldiers from the deserted people. At the same time, the Holy Spring Cult of the oasis, after praising the Lord, opens the oasis drain valve and sends down the Lord's sweet rain."

"So this day is also known as Holy Spring Day. All the wastelander teams will speed up their journey and catch up with the main force before this day."

"It's already September 13th, and there are less than two days left until Holy Spring Day..."

Speaking of this, Ding Yi thought of Qi Shan who had taken people away, and said angrily:
"No wonder Qi Shan stole the supplies yesterday."

Chen Shanshan, who was standing by, didn't care about it, but just stared into the distance with a deep gaze.

Lin Feng was about to continue asking about the strength division of the wastelanders, and now he followed her gaze.

A few hundred meters away, on the road where everyone came, a huge gray wolf climbed over the hillside and stood on the top of the mountain.

The wolf's red eyes met everyone's gaze.
