Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

After being enveloped by the space ability, Lin Feng felt as if he was peeled away from the original space and entered the void, then immediately returned to the real world.

From the outside looking in, the armored warrior who had originally jumped off the ground flickered instantly, the surrounding space rapidly contracted into a mass, rippling with folds, and then completely closed.

It was as if an energy vortex was created in space, sweeping away everything in this area.

However, in the next moment, the disappeared objects reappeared with the vortex and jumped out from it.

The time gap between these events was almost zero.

Lin Feng, having jumped vigorously from the rock at the slope top, reached over a hundred meters above the mountain top, overlooking the entire valley and the mountains on both sides.

With the original upward inertial impulse, he continued to ascend, now reaching a distance of one hundred and fifty meters from his original jumping point.

Standing high and overlooking, he was already over five hundred meters away from the valley, while the immense figure of the ancient giant wolf, Wolf Ao, leapt from behind...

And it precisely landed on his original jumping point.

Had Bai Ye’s power of space been a fraction slower, Lin Feng would have collided with Wolf Ao, or he would have jumped barely above its head.

The latter only needed a leg kick to extend its neck and swallow Lin Feng whole.

At this moment, Lin Feng was a full hundred meters away from Wolf Ao, with the firearms already aimed at the target.

His plan was to hold fire until his ascending inertia was neutralized by the planet’s gravity, beginning his descent, then pull the trigger of the long cannon.

This way, he could maintain a hanging state with inertia,

and deliver a fatal strike to Wolf Ao.

The ancient giant beast, twenty-five meters long, had already sensed the target’s position the moment it missed its pounce, just a hundred meters above its head.

Unfortunately, at that distance, Wolf Ao couldn’t reach it by simply jumping.

Jumping from a standstill lacked the speed to fully utilize its power, leveraging acceleration inertia, and combined with the Tier Two giant beast’s massive weight of several hundred tons, even as a Tier Two Peak Evolutionary Form, at a standstill, it couldn’t jump more than three times its height.

Wolf Ao’s own shoulder height was around fifteen meters, and three times that was less than fifty meters.

Even stretching its neck couldn’t reach the height where Lin Feng was at this moment.

Moreover, crucially, regardless of whether Wolf Ao chose to jump and chase at this moment...

As long as Lin Feng pulled the trigger of the long cannon in his hand, the devastating Annihilation Cannon would deliver a destructive blow to Wolf Ao.

Especially if it hit the waist and cervical spine...

Copper head, iron tail, tofu waist; in both past canines and the current wolf race, the most poorly defended parts are the spinal areas of the waist and tail.

If damaged, it could either lose mobility, crawling with only the forelimbs, or in severe cases, die immediately.

From Lin Feng’s position, a hundred meters high, launching a strike remained outside the Annihilation Cannon’s lethal range, at most just reaching the spread of the shockwave.

But over a hundred meters away, the shockwave would decay to leave just a burst of heat.

To ordinary life, it might cause shock injuries, but to a Tier Two Evolver, especially one clad in power armor, it wouldn’t have much effect.

Even if Wolf Ao jumped from a standstill to close the distance, the shell would hit like a heavy punch, nailing it to the ground, then using the violent explosion and temperatures of thousands of degrees to penetrate fur and metal defenses, carbonize flesh, and then shatter refined steel wolf bone, destroying organs in its lower abdomen.

Moreover, once airborne, Wolf Ao would lose the ability to change its form, with its trajectory fully within Lin Feng’s predictions.

Therefore, at this moment, Wolf Ao was in a dilemma and decisively chose to follow the prior plan: after Bai Ye, the Leader of the Salvation Army, saved the gunpowder ability user, to continue its attack on her herself.

Lin Feng’s cannon was already aimed at Wolf Ao, and once the trigger was pulled, the shells would take about half a second to hit the target...

Leaving Wolf Ao with only half a second to react.

The next moment, Wolf Ao decisively shifted its body, neither launching another attack on Lin Feng nor turning to escape behind the hill...

But instead charging straight at Bai Ye, who was not far from Lin Feng!

Bai Ye was only twenty or thirty meters away from Lin Feng, moving almost in parallel.

This proximity was necessary for activating the space fold ability, which required closeness to the target.

This distance limitation prevented Bai Ye from moving too far from Lin Feng, making it the key for Wolf Ao to break the stalemate.

As long as it got close enough to Bai Ye for the explosive heat and shockwave to reach her, the gunpowder ability user overhead would be forced to hesitate.

This was the only chance for Wolf Ao, trapped in a deadly situation, to survive.

As Wolf Ao turned and bit, it accurately sensed the hesitation from the gunpowder ability user above, who hadn’t pulled the trigger immediately.

No burning heat from gunpowder came from within the barrel either.

This meant that Wolf Ao’s gamble was successful.

The opponent dared not risk Bai Ye’s life.

After all, Bai Ye, as Leader of the Salvation Army, was not only a powerful Tier Two Peak Evolver but also a symbol of hope and reliance for this group of people.

It was also crucial for whether Oasis Town could fend off the Desert Wolf Race.

Should she perish at human hands, the trouble caused would be far worse than severely injuring Wolf Ao.
