Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Father Su An nodded:

"That's right. Originally, the Li family planned to use centuries of accumulation to cultivate another Tier 2 evolver, but they were caught off guard by the Salvation Army wandering in the wasteland."

"Now it's a case of losing both the lady and the army. Unless they give up the struggle, they will go all in!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath:

"Understood. I will complete the preparations as soon as possible and try to leave tomorrow."

Father Su An hummed in agreement:

"No need to rush, preparations should still be thorough, so as not to cause problems in subsequent actions. I will inform you of the specific task when the evolutionary meat of the leader-level Rockhorn Horse is delivered later."

The two walked out of the "Morning" Upper District, passed the restored peaceful streets, and entered the Oasis Battleship.

Soon, they returned to the desolate surface from the right-hand staircase they had come from.

Returning to the ground again, Lin Feng had a sense of being in another world, as if he had experienced a Peach Blossom Spring.

Looking at the tens of thousands of wastelanders behind him, queuing up in an orderly manner to receive the church's water, the Lord's gift, completely unaware that they were also a part of the truth…

And this scene pulled Lin Feng back to reality.

The life of the upper-class citizens in the oasis, as Father Su An described it, was like canaries locked in a cage, with clothes to wear and food to eat, worry-free for ninety years…

But freedom was the only thing they lacked.

This was not the life Lin Feng wanted.

Back at Holy Spring Village, Chen Shanshan and the others had already returned in the war chariot.

At the same time, there was an additional modified bus behind the chariot.

Chen Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Feng return.

She had been worried that Lin Feng would leave and stay in the oasis as an upper-class citizen.

Chen Shanshan stepped forward, pulled Lin Feng to the newly bought bus, opened the door, and introduced:

"We directly contacted the Wasteland Hunter Guild, and Guild Leader Xu personally signed the transaction. This modified transport vehicle, which hasn't been modified for a few years, was originally a bus, and after modification, it is twelve meters long, four meters wide, and three meters high."

"It is equipped with forty high-grade photovoltaic panels, the maximum transport load is eight tons, and it is also equipped with ten sets of batteries, which can provide an additional range of fifty kilometers. The maximum speed under empty load reaches twenty kilometers per hour, but when fully loaded, it is only five kilometers per hour."

"The speed can be optimized with a little work."

"The main thing is that the price is particularly cheap. The manufacturing cost of the vehicle body is one thousand points, and for the power system, the panels are two thousand points, and ten sets of batteries are one thousand points. It's just that the large motor on the chassis is a bit expensive, with front and rear dual drive, a total of one thousand points. Things like other air conditioners also cost hundreds of points."

"So, the manufacturing cost of this modified bus was as high as five thousand points back then."

"Guild Leader Xu also specially found the receipt from that year to prove that what he said was true, and finally quoted us a price of four thousand, a fixed price."

Lin Feng stepped forward to check the aging of the vehicle body.

It showed that the car had been driven for four years, although this was definitely considered eighty percent new in the wasteland.

But in fact, the service life of photovoltaic panels is only less than four or five years, and the circuit system is also somewhat aging. Many welded parts on the car also have slight cracks in the weld joints.

Therefore, the rated load of eight tons, the actual total weight that can be transported is less than seven tons.

Lin Feng felt that even if the asking price was three thousand five hundred points, the Wasteland Hunter Guild might have sold it.

However, considering the timeliness, it can be bought and used directly today, so a higher price is fine.

After all, such a big guy is almost four times the size of the Jinbei van that the team originally ordered.

According to the efficiency of Motorcycle Village and Dawn Village, it would be difficult to deliver in four or five days.

What the team lacks most now is time.

As Lin Feng gradually checked, the attribute data of the transport bus also appeared in the corner of his eye:

「Light Transport Vehicle lv13, Red Quality」

「Basic Attributes: Defense 90; Durability 7 / 10; Maximum Speed ​​20km; Can consume five points of health to upgrade」

「Additional Attributes: Gear Speed ​​Adjustment (1 / 5 / 20km), Oversized Load (7 tons), Air Conditioning Cooling (Vehicle Temperature - 10°, Vehicle Power - 20%)」

「Evaluation: An ordinary light transport vehicle, modified from a bus, can be used as a means of transportation for personnel, or to transport about seven tons of materials; it has a good foundation and modification base, try to upgrade and optimize it more, and the future mobile fortress is waving to you」

Seeing that the situation was not bad, Lin Feng then asked:

"If this is a transport vehicle, is there also a vehicle for personnel to rest and equip?"

The original Jinbei van, under Lin Feng's upgrade and modification, has been transformed from a small passenger car that was originally two meters wide and six meters long into a war chariot that is three meters wide and nearly eight meters long.

In the future, it will also be classified as the core of future operations and will continue to develop towards the armed aspect.

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Chen Shanshan nodded:

"Because things like bunks need to be designed in advance, the guild doesn't have models that meet the needs. Most of them have transport vehicles on hand."

"We will go to Motorcycle Village and Dawn Village later to finalize a medium-sized bus modification of four thousand blocks."

"The car is eight meters long, three meters wide, and two and a half meters high. It has four compartments with upper and lower bunks, which can comfortably accommodate eight people. Secondly, there is also a storage space in the tail box, which is three meters long and three meters wide, nearly ten square meters, enough to stuff all our weapons and equipment in without looking crowded."

"According to your requirements, in addition to using a better chassis foundation, the rest are the lowest configuration, twenty-five ordinary photovoltaic panels, plus two motors, a total of one thousand eight hundred points, ten sets of ordinary batteries one thousand points, the chassis and modification fee is one thousand points…"

"Adding a better air-conditioning refrigeration system together is a total of four thousand three hundred points, and the final transaction price is also four thousand points."

"The car will be delivered tomorrow afternoon."

Speaking, Chen Shanshan took out the order form, including the handover form for the transport vehicle in front of her, and handed it to Lin Feng together:

"The two cars cost a total of eight thousand points, which is much less than we expected."

"As for the original war chariot, adding five sets of batteries cost five hundred points, and there are three independent motors, each requiring three hundred and fifty points, a thousand points for the deal, and the final air-conditioning installation also costs five hundred points…"

"All in all, the modification and upgrade of the war chariot cost two thousand points, not including the installation fee, which was done by Liu Mingfei himself."

"A total of 10,000 points were spent on the team's vehicles, leaving 5,000 points, so the money we finally used to buy mission reward equipment reached 26,000."

"Whether it's buying exoskeleton power armor or that Demon Extermination Holy Flame, it should be more than enough."

Lin Feng nodded and took the order to take a rough look:

"Don't worry, 26,000 points is definitely enough."

"By the way, when you were at the Wasteland Hunter Guild, did Guild Leader Xu mention the transaction of evolutionary meat to you?"

Chen Shanshan nodded in surprise:

"She did, just when we finalized the second accommodation vehicle, she sent Manager Qian over to ask if we still needed points. Now the guild is buying a lot of evolutionary meat, no matter what level, they are all buying at high prices."

"I said that we need your approval before we can make a decision to sell the meat, and we have to wait for you to come back from the oasis before we can talk about it."

Lin Feng nodded, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously:

"As expected, their news is also very well-informed."

Chen Shanshan asked suspiciously:

"What happened? Is what Ding Yi and Liu Qian said true? Is the Li family going to attack the church?"

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head:

"Taking action is definitely necessary unless they're willing to sit and wait to be constantly蚕食and disintegrated by the Church."

"However, the real reason for the rise in meat prices and inflation is another major event."

Chen Shanshan frowned slightly, waiting for Lin Feng to continue.

At this time, their conversation also attracted the attention of several other members in the camp, who gathered around, ready to watch the show.

Lin Feng then revealed to the six members of the team the attack on the pilgrimage convoy and the fact that only the Li family of the Farm Village suffered significant losses:

"This is a major matter, so you just need to be clear about it in your own minds. Don't reveal it, lest it be noticed by those with ulterior motives."

"The Li family is definitely blocking the news now, but the fact will not change. The time left for them is running out, and all forces are secretly preparing."

"The price of evolved meat will definitely skyrocket!"

After hearing this, everyone showed incredible expressions.

After all, an attack on a pilgrimage convoy is something that might only happen once every few decades.

For the permanent residents of the five major villages under the oasis, and wilderness people like Lin Feng, the pilgrimage convoy, like the Church, has always been a superior existence.

They are not only fully equipped and well-armed, but also possess extremely high evolutionary strength. The starting point for the crew members is an evolver.

In the wasteland, what short-sighted force would dare to attack the pilgrimage convoy?

However, it just so happened that it happened!

And it happened at such a crucial juncture.

A Ming then said:

"Could it be the Church that did it? After all, this shipment is so important to the Li family."

Lin Feng shook his head:

"The Li family must have secretly arranged second-tier or several late-stage first-tier evolvers in the accompanying team to protect the lifeblood of the clan-leader level Rockhorn Horse."

"In fact, the ones who took action were a wandering force in the wasteland called the Salvation Army."

"And the Duncan team that we cooperated with before, their prepared hunting operation was to sell live horses to the Salvation Army..."

As soon as this was said, everyone was even more shocked.

Liu Qian slowly spoke, analyzing after digesting the information:

"This Salvation Army has at least second-tier strength, and their leader must be an extremely strong existence among second-tier evolvers."

"Connecting the Duncan team and this attack, their purpose is likely to establish their own Rockhorn Horse breeding industry..."

"But already possessing such strength, why do they still need the Duncan team to help capture live horses?"

"Logically speaking, they shouldn't be interested in only the early first-tier stallions."

"Unless there is another possibility, the Salvation Army's plan is far more than just attacking the pilgrimage convoy and plundering the Farm Village Li family's horse-breeding resources."

Saying this, Liu Qian made a shocking statement:

"Perhaps they also want to directly ambush the Farm Village and seize the Rockhorn Horse breeding base!"

"And the things the Duncan team sent for trade are likely not just two carts of supplies, but also information about the Farm Village and the Li family in Oasis Town!"

"To be a little more conspiratorial, didn't Lisa from their team want to invite Lin Feng to join them before? It's reasonable to suspect that the entire Duncan team is an outpost spy planted by the Salvation Army in Oasis Town, responsible for collecting information."

Liu Qian's words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present, including Lin Feng, into shock and contemplation.

Finally, Lin Feng took a deep breath and comforted everyone:

"No matter what their plans are, in short, I have decided not to participate in this matter, and I have also declined the invitation from Father Suan and Bishop."

"They originally wanted me to become an upper-class citizen of the oasis, then assist the Church in suppressing the Li family, and finally accept the Farm Village's horse-breeding industry."

"But the water here is too deep, it's all a struggle for interests between second-tier evolvers. There's no need for us to bring trouble upon ourselves."

"Besides, now it seems that the Salvation Army is also very likely to get involved, and the situation will only become more chaotic and unpredictable, so it's best not to get involved."

"Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. When the time comes, we'll just leave. Anyway, we've already built a small convoy, and we can go anywhere with supplies."

Everyone nodded, no longer thinking about these things.

Lin Feng was about to end the team meeting when Ding Yi, who hadn't spoken, suddenly mentioned something:

"Just now, the captain said that the pilgrimage convoy was attacked not far from us, so this force called the Salvation Army should be in front of Oasis Town, less than two or three hundred kilometers away."

"According to the direction the Duncan team left..."

"Do you think the Salvation Army's location might be our destination, the Mount Tai Ruins?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of the crowd, who had recovered their mentality, changed drastically again!

Lin Feng was also shocked and quickly ran to the chariot, found the map copy that Father Suan had given to the team, and checked the route within a five-hundred-kilometer radius.

Ding Yi was right. According to the direction the Duncan team left and the location where the pilgrimage convoy was attacked, the most likely place for the Salvation Army to be stationed...

Is the Mount Tai Ruins!

Perhaps their real purpose for coming here was to explore the Mount Tai Ruins, and plundering the Rockhorn Horse breeding industry was just something they did along the way when they happened to pass by Oasis Town.

After all, for powerful second-tier evolvers, a small-scale Rockhorn Horse breeding industry is not worth such a fuss.

At this moment, Lin Feng looked up at the team members who had followed him and admitted without concealment:

"Ding Yi is right, the Salvation Army's camp is likely to be in the Mount Tai Ruins."

"But there's no need to worry too much. First, we have the Duncan team as a go-between, and there's no conflict between the two. Even if they want to attack the Farm Village, it's a good thing for us. Maybe we can fuel the flames and negotiate better terms with the Church..."

"Kill two birds with one stone."

The pie drawn by the Church alone was not enough for Lin Feng to agree to stand with them and help deal with the three major families.

But if there is also the Salvation Army to help, then the situation will definitely be different.

This is not just about having two rewards on both sides.

But this powerful Salvation Army, judging from the current situation, will have at least two second-tier evolvers, and the leader is even more powerful.

Being able to snatch food from the mouth of a tiger in the pilgrimage convoy, Lin Feng estimated that the existence called Lord Bai could at least fight two people of the same rank alone, overwhelming the two.

It is likely to be the evolutionary strength of the late second-tier.

Then the probability of the Farm Village Li family being destroyed will increase linearly!

Rewards doubled, risk halved.

Lin Feng had no reason to refuse such good conditions.

But the premise is that he must first have the qualifications to cooperate with both parties and the strength to successfully obtain the rewards.

And this is also the key to comforting his teammates and building confidence for this operation.

Facing the worries and concerns written on everyone's faces, Lin Feng slowly spoke, throwing out good news:

"Although I refused the Church's invitation to cooperate and the qualification of upper-class citizens of the oasis, I have already sold the horse-training technology to them, and in exchange, I obtained a portion of the evolutionary meat of a leader-level Rockhorn Horse..."

"So before this mission, I will upgrade to the late first-tier."

"To ensure the safety of the operation!"
