Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

However, the current situation left both Wolf Ao and Lang San in silence.

The two beasts had tirelessly pursued for twenty kilometers, only to discover that the target was only at Level 20 evolution. Besides filling Lang San’s stomach, who was at Level 21, and helping to regain his state, it offered no other benefits...

Completely deviating from the objective.

This left Wolf Ao with no intention to consume the Rock-Horned Horse warrior, even feeling a bit disdainful, caught between shock and anger, wishing to brutally kill the opponent to vent his fury.

Even Lang San behind Han Tao was greatly disappointed and showed little interest in the Level 20 Rock-Horned Horse warrior before him.

The opponent was in a state of exhaustion, having consumed a lot of energy to escape. Now, its weight had significantly dropped; with a physique of over two meters, it weighed less than two hundred pounds.

Such a small amount of meat could barely fill the teeth of an Early Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beast. Even if consumed and digested, the energy replenishment it might bring would be extremely limited.

Just as Wolf Ao decided to finish off the Rock-Horned Horse warrior with one bite,

bringing this farce to an end...

Han Tao, now calm, mustered up his Spirit, forced down his inner fear, and with a trembling body, began to speak:

"No, keeping me alive now is more valuable than killing me outright!"

"Great leader of the Wolf Race, the treacherous Holy See and that Tier Two Firearms Superpower User are the real unforgivable enemies to us!"

"Your Desolate Wolf Beast offspring was killed by the Firearms Superpower User with his cannon. He even used me as bait, intending to kill me as well!"

"That’s why I escaped from the Salvation Army, choosing to flee through the Wilderness alone."

"That Gunpowder Ability User is named Lin Feng, an adept assistant nurtured by the Oasis Church..."

"But he won’t stay in Oasis Town forever. Even if the Desert Wolf Race fails this time, there will be future opportunities for vengeance and redemption!"

"Because soon, Lin Feng will lead a convoy of over a thousand people, taking a large share of industries and personnel from Oasis Town to the front at Storm Holy City ahead of schedule."

"Among these thousand people, at least half are Evolvers from Oasis Town, including the valuable Oasis Upper Class who have never suffered the Wasteland’s hardships or the sun’s scorching. Their flavor is the most exquisite in this world."

"As long as you reorganize the Wolf Race army, and I guide and attack, we can ambush Lin Feng midway, cutting down this wicked Firearms Superpower User!"

An enemy’s enemy is a friend; if you can’t find common profit between the two, then try to create a common enemy

This approach can provide leverage in negotiation and maneuvering.

And Han Tao’s words successfully caught Wolf Ao’s attention, but it wasn’t the content of the persuasion that interested him.

Rather, it was the fact that this little Rock-Horned Horse warrior dared to display a thread of composure under his pressure and began analyzing the situation logically.

Yet, he still didn’t realize that his injuries had left him incapable of further combat.

Even if the Gunpowder Ability User named Lin Feng were to leave the sanctuary of Oasis Town, Wolf Ao couldn’t easily kill him.

The terrifying power of that artillery posed an even greater threat to Wolf Ao than the Tier Two Peak leader of the Salvation Army, Bai Ye.

Now, Wolf Ao, being infected by the Evil God’s mutated cells, needed a large amount of late Middle Stage blood and flesh, especially the Tier Two body of a Rock Horse Giant Beast, to recover his state.

The Gunpowder Ability User’s evolutionary level was around Early Tier Two, and even if he were killed, along with his convoy of thousands...

For Wolf Ao, there would be no gain from this.

The cost to achieve this would far outweigh the eventual gains, even for the entire Desert Wolf Race.

In comparison, some Wandering Forces in the Wilderness would be more suitable targets for hunting and recuperation than Lin Feng and the Salvation Army.

Han Tao, who was now on edge, keenly sensed that the Giant Beast before him didn’t seem interested in continuing the pursuit of Lin Feng...

Although he didn’t know why, perhaps because Wolf Ao was already seriously injured and didn’t want to pay a greater price for a moment of vengeance.

Or maybe he was intimidated by Lin Feng’s artillery, afraid to launch further attacks for fear of more severe injuries.

But no matter which reason, it wasn’t something Han Tao could comment on at the moment, and using incitement tactics would only make Wolf Ao furious and lead to a quicker death.

Since he couldn’t create a common enemy, Han Tao had to prove his value, so Wolf Ao would spare his life.

So without waiting for Wolf Ao to respond, Han Tao directly knelt on both knees, face full of devotion, speaking emotionally:

"Even if there’s no revenge now, I am willing to surrender to the Desert Wolf Race, as your subordinate, helping the Desert Wolf Race reach its pinnacle."

"This failure in the Wolf Race’s assault on Oasis Town was mainly because you lacked a reliable human ally as an internal agent to dismantle Oasis Town’s defensive line through inside coordination!"

"It was the Salvation Army’s sudden betrayal that led the Desert Wolf Race into passivity, forcing a split into two forces to handle the Salvation Army’s main power at the rear."

"If we had a capable assistant, it would have been possible to sabotage the Holy See’s defensive strategies from within Oasis Town, particularly on the Oasis Battleships."

"Had I earlier seen the great leader of the Wolf Race, I could have used my identity and status in Oasis to undermine the battleships’ heavy cannons and various village defenses, allowing the Wolf Race army to rip through human lines easily, penetrating Oasis Town!"

"But now everything is still possible. If the next attack has me as an internal agent, infiltrating human settlements, gaining their upper echelon’s trust, collecting internal intelligence, and then coordinating inside and outside, then the Wilderness-led Desert Wolf Race can easily conquer human mid-sized settlements without loss, gaining a bounty of Rock Horse Warriors and Tier One Evolvers."

Han Tao’s words completely abandoned his human identity and pledged allegiance to the Desert Wolf Race, becoming an alien race’s strategic advisor...

However, his heartfelt words did not stir much interest in Wolf Ao, as the betrayal of the Salvation Army made Wolf Ao instinctively distrust any human.

Yet, the sincerity in Han Tao’s speech gave Wolf Ao another idea, and he lowered his head, blood-red eyes fixating fiercely on Han Tao, asking in a deep voice:

"With such actions, aren’t you afraid of retribution from the Church, the Holy See’s crackdown?"

"The Desert Wolf Race has now broken ancient agreements, and the Church will launch a frenzied retaliation against us. As someone who switched allegiance to an alien race, the Holy See’s Temple Knights would utterly obliterate you..."

Hearing the words Temple Knights, Han Tao seemed to envision himself being slain by lightning, instinctively shivered, but then drew on his other identity for Spirit and responded:

"Actually, the faction I previously belonged to has been at odds with the Holy Spring Sect ruling here."

"Does the great leader of the Wolf Race know of the Life Farm, a major first-class power?"

"The upper echelons of the Farm have had several contacts with you at Fallen Wolf Valley hundreds of years ago."

At this point, Wolf Ao’s eyes finally brightened.

Although Wolf Ao remained long entrenched in Fallen Wolf Valley, accepting the Wolf Pack’s offerings, he was somewhat informed about changes in the outside world.

Particularly the Life Farm, which once personally contacted him, seeking some of the Ancient Wolf Race’s genetic bloodline, rich in primal Evolutionary Meat.

While initially wanting to deny them, the Farm’s Evolvers offered conditions irresistible to Wolf Ao.

They could provide large quantities of Evolutionary Meat from Tier Two Rock Horse Giant Beasts, including those at the late Middle Stage of Tier Two.

Initially, the Life Farm was interested, and then they discovered this fact, so this transaction allowed them to obtain a significant portion of the Rock Horse Giant Beast’s flesh, enhancing their own strength.

Now, with the Life Farm realizing this and Wolf Ao needing a large quantity of Rock Horse Giant Beast Evolutionary Meat to restore his strength,

and the Desert Wolf Race needing enhancement, which also desires the Rock-Horned Horse’s flesh, they may well spare him if he can help provide it!
