Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Although Wolf Ao’s massive Tier Two Body had already helped her block most of the damage, there were still quite a few metal streams and impact remnants coming from the empty place below Wolf Ao’s abdomen.

Bai Ye, relying on multiple layers of space shields, successfully blocked the high-temperature heat waves but could not defend against the metal streams traveling at supersonic speeds.

These streams were as small as a few millimeters, yet they contained terrifying lethality, enough to kill an ordinary Tier One Evolver. If they hit critical parts, such as the fragile brain tissue, even a Tier Two Evolver could be taken down.

Especially the two to three thousand degrees of high temperature contained in the metal streams could deal severe blows to any defense structure.

Fortunately, the metal fragments shot from the explosion center had cooled into a solidified state of reddish-brown after flying nearly a hundred meters, lowering their temperature below a thousand degrees and reducing their lethality significantly.

Though Bai Ye couldn’t stop the ultra-high-speed incoming metal streams, she relied on her Power Armor to block the most severe direct damage.

The worst-case scenario of a direct brain hit, leading to instant death, would not occur.

Yet, even avoiding the damage from the high-temperature burns, the high-speed impact from the metal streams still brought considerable impact force to Bai Ye.

It was equivalent to being hammered with dozen heavy punches continuously.

Some hit areas had weak defense, and the force could rival the Tier Two Power of over ten tons.

In some areas, like the hands and feet, the defense of the Power Armor was only a thin layer, a one-centimeter-thick titanium alloy plate.

The metal streams directly shattered the weak outer defense, tearing through the skin and bones of the fingers internally, instantly cutting off those parts.

The damage to the Life Value was not severe, but it could cause great inconvenience to Bai Ye’s subsequent actions.

However, this was already the best result.

After all, given the power of the Thermite Annihilation Cannon, if Bai Ye were directly hit, even with the ability of Space Transfer, they would suffer severe repercussions a hundred meters away.

Currently, although the distance to the explosion center area was only fifty or sixty meters, relying on Wolf Ao’s Tier Two Body as cover, it was just some blunt force damage without large-scale limb severance, which was the best result Lin Feng could achieve.

And as Wolf Ao retreated, this battle was finally about to come to an end.

But the post-war injuries caused by the battle still affected all participants involved.

The one with the least injuries was Lin Feng.

Aside from damage to the Power Armor, his own state remained intact, except that after using the Power of Branding for assembly synthesis three times, Lin Feng’s Life Value had been consumed by thirty points.

Equivalent to losing one-tenth of Life Force.

Which already had a certain impact on the combat state.

Next was Bai Ye, though she was already close to the limit of her overdrawn state, with only about ten percent of the Power of Space left in her body...

Coupled with the impact of the explosion, she now had only a little self-protection ability left, with hardly any strength left to continue fighting.

And the worst-off was Wolf Ao.

At this moment, as an Ancient Giant Beast at the Tier Two Peak, it showed not a trace of a giant beast’s formidable traits.

Instead, after being affected by the Annihilation Cannon’s explosion, it quickly fled deep into the mountains, without turning back, far away from the battleground with the human strong persons.

Because at the moment of the Annihilation Cannon’s explosion, Wolf Ao clearly felt, when using Tier Three Power to mobilize the Tier Three Wolf King Cells stored inside to heal the wounds on one side of the body surface...

As the Tier Three Cells proliferated and divided, the Alien Species Cells invading from the wounds made by Bai Ye on the other side of the body surface accelerated their erosion speed and aggressiveness, as if summoned by something.

An even more intense confrontation was underway between them and Wolf Ao’s immune system.

Starting from the cross-section of the wound in the lower abdomen, it began spreading to the muscles and visceral tissues on both sides.

In the macro sense, this meant Wolf Ao was gradually losing control of this part of the flesh, with the nervous system connecting the flesh being reverse-controlled by Alien Species Cells.

As a Tier Two Peak existence, Wolf Ao was well aware that only higher Tier Three external cells could defeat its immune system.

So once it realized this, it decisively retreated first, to prevent the internal infection from deepening with the stimulation of Tier Three Power.

And the first thing after escaping the danger was that Wolf Ao bent down, looked back, and opened its fanged mouth toward the wound on its lower abdomen, then fiercely bit down, tearing off more than ten tons of reddish-brown blood and flesh.

These infected parts had already undergone varying degrees of mutation on the surface.

Not only had the color changed from the original bright red to oxidized brown-red, but many new tumors and fleshy tendrils had grown internally, resembling some kind of parasitic organism frantically reproducing inside Wolf Ao.

And once this large chunk of parasitic alien blood and flesh was decisively torn off by Wolf Ao, without the host’s sustenance, they quickly withered away under direct sunlight.

With the Scorching Sun Curse’s energy invading, they seemed like they were boiled and roasted, emitting a lot of unpleasant white smoke, and soon igniting with semi-transparent flames until charred to ashes.

Watching this scene, Wolf Ao wasn’t the slightest bit happy; instead, its expression immediately turned grim...

Because at this moment, through various signs, it could already determine that the poison Bai Ye placed was from the Evil God’s Body sealed within the Wolf King’s Tomb, deep within the Taishan Ruins.

The latter had become a thoroughly twisted and mutated Evil God after being polluted by the Wolf King gene.

Back in the war against what is now the Taishan Shelter, Wolf Ao had personally participated.

If not for the intervention of All Gods in secret, a mere Wolf Race alone would be no match for an existence about to ascend to godhood.

The opponent needed only to delay the transformation process; a wave of the hand could suppress the already Tier Three Peak, Level 39 evolved Wolf King.

But due to the constraints and interference from All Gods, this Demigod was too occupied to focus, which allowed the Wolf King the opportunity to succeed, using its Wolf King origin and life to forcibly contaminate the opponent’s path to godhood.

Creating a seal that lasted thousands of years.

Ultimately, the Wolf King’s Tier Three Body was buried in the middle of the three shelters, continuously radiating its origin and energy through the underground tunnel into the shelter ruins where the Evil God’s Body was.

During the subsequent years, Wolf Ao had a few encounters with the Evil God pollution within the nearby ruins, such as seeing Tier Three Mutants from a distance.

The latter feared the presence of the Wolf Race immensely.

They likely did not want to deepen the degree of aberration within themselves.

And once they left the underground ruins, with the surface bathed in the Scorching Sun’s light, the cellular fungi and Evil God energy attached to the surface turned to white smoke, purified by the Scorching Sun.

Thus, Wolf Ao remembered such phenoms vividly and clearly recalled the aura of Mutants containing the Evil God’s Curse.

Almost identical to the Alien Parasite Cells it tore off now.

One of Bai Ye’s original purposes for going to the Taishan Ruins was to delve into the shelter where the Evil God’s Body was sealed, in search of military weapons located at the bottom few layers.

This also meant she likely had contact with, and even killed, Tier Three Mutants.

So it made perfect sense to obtain the Evil God flesh carried by the Mutants...

Wolf Ao simply hadn’t expected Bai Ye to be so audacious as to use the extremely dangerous Evil God’s Tissue as an attack method against itself.

If leaked, not just Bai Ye herself, but even her forces, and anywhere with a large gathering of life forms in the Wasteland, would face the risk of infection mutation.

Even a Tier Two Peak like Wolf Ao, after being directly infected on a large scale, still found it difficult to resist the erosion of these Evil God Cells.

Even having bitten off a large chunk of flesh, Wolf Ao could still faintly feel that there was a large number of Alien Cells disguised as normal cells contentiously multiplying within.

Looking at the large bite wound on its abdomen, with even parts of the viscera and stomach torn off.

Yet, these wounds, under the Scorching Sun, started emitting white smoke like the torn mutant parts.

Wolf Ao immediately bared its fangs, eyes fierce, opening its blood maw once again to bite down on its lower abdomen.

If it didn’t be harsh on itself now, it would lay down a difficult-to-eradicate archaic curse!
