Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

"Understood, I’ll set off immediately."

Watching the back of the departing Assistant Priest, Lin Feng was thoughtful. Now that the crisis was lifted, and Father Su An was in such a hurry to call him, there was probably only one thing it could be.

That is, Lord Bishop has reached the end of his life, and there are some last matters he needs to entrust.

Lin Feng then handed over the work at hand to Ding Yi next to him.

As he walked towards the team, he whispered:

"The corpses of the two Desolate Wolf Beasts should now all be transferred to the team, sealed as important strategic materials, and two squads should be arranged for their protection."

"Then disclose the future fate of Oasis Town to the technical workers of these industries in front of us, and let them decide whether to stay or leave on their own. Of course, many will likely want to leave with us, so we need to screen those who have technical expertise."

"In this regard, you can follow Cheng Wentian’s advice."

"He is the mechanical repair master of Dawn Village, so he has some understanding in this regard."

"Secondly, regarding the technical workers in Nongzhuang Village, what I just said is the truth. The Rock-Horned Horse industry of Nongzhuang Village is the core foundation; the quota of 1,300 people cannot be reduced by even one."

"Among these quotas, 150 should be allocated to the Li Family. For the specific list, find the current head of the Li Family, Zhao Mingsheng, who is Li Hao’s confidant..."

Speaking of this, Lin Feng suddenly remembered something and added:

"When contacting and discussing with them, remember to bring along the two remaining elders of the Li Family, Li Litian and Li Lihe. They are direct descendants of Li Hao and have some say."

"In exchange, Zhao Mingsheng will give us a list of Nongzhuang Village’s technical personnel, allowing us to take away truly experienced masters and top-condition Rock-Horned Horses."

"One more thing, protect the Late Tier Two Evolutionary Meat from Li Hao’s corpse and the damaged Rock Horse Armor, to prevent them from being taken by the Li Family."

"Besides these, among the remaining 1,150, we must reserve 400 for the Salvation Army, to compensate for their betrayal of the Desert Wolf Race in this operation and their key contribution to our cause."

"Of course, this was promised by the Church as a reward. We’re not giving away our benefits for free. Moreover, in the subsequent breakout by the Salvation Army, I helped them, which offsets the deal."

"So these 400 must be exchanged for the Desert Wolf Race corpses by the Salvation Army. They have a leader, Bai Ye, and they don’t lack such things, but our Desert Wolf Warrior plan needs it."

"That’s about it for now. After completing these, rapidly expand the manpower and distribute the current team of over a hundred people to the industry teams to ensure control of the situation."

"If the situation changes, you and Chen Shanshan should decide on your own and remember to evacuate Oasis Town in time."

"The items in your hand aren’t real; only what you can take with you truly belongs to us."

Ding Yi nodded, remembering everything Lin Feng instructed, and then asked:

"Are we taking so many technical personnel and Rock-Horned Horses from Nongzhuang Village? Will the Church be okay with it?"

Lin Feng shrugged, unconcerned:

"The future position of Oasis Town hasn’t been determined yet. Do you think the Upper Class from the Holy City Diocese really cares for such low-technology primitive industries?"

"Their existence is just to sustain the Evolvers of Oasis Town and reduce the support pressure from the Holy City."

"Now that most of the Deserters are dead, there’s this huge burden of the Upper District. Even if the scale of the Rock-Horned Horse industry is reduced to a third of its past size, it won’t affect the survivors of Oasis Town."

"Moreover, what does the change in Oasis Town have to do with the Oasis Church? Lord Bishop is about to leave, and Father Su An will at most stay a few more days to handle the handover with the Cultivators from the Holy City."

"Afterwards, the original Oasis Church personnel will likely be recalled, dispersed, and reassigned to other remote locations, completely dismantling Lord Bishop’s legacy."

"They are aware of their fate, and those who stay are minor figures. Even the Elite Assistant Priests and Priests of Late Tier One will be removed."

"Don’t worry, act boldly. Now is the time when the brave thrive and the timid starve. This is the only opportunity; if you fail to grasp it, you’ll have nowhere to cry later."

Ding Yi nodded excitedly. With Lin Feng’s assurance, she felt free to go all out in resource acquisition.

Besides these, there are also the subsequent trades with the Hunting Wilderness Guild and the Salvation Army.

Lin Feng had previously mentioned a bit, and Ding Yi asked in detail again to finalize the specific trading strategy.

The focus was on the final payment of shells and the population exchange.

The foundation of Lin Feng’s convoy is currently insufficient, and this opportunity must be used to trade with the Hunting Wilderness Guild and the Salvation Army for some Rock Horned Horse Evolution Agents.

Especially the Tier Two Evolution Agent.

While there are many Desert Wolf Life Source Materials at present, these items can have a broader market and trade value in the Holy City in the future.

Additionally, the research on the evolution path of the Desert Wolf requires a batch of raw materials for consumption.

Using the cheaper Rock-Horned Horse Life Source Material to distill Pure Potion for Purity Evolution is more cost-effective.

After explaining everything, Lin Feng put on the repaired Branded Armor and headed alone to the Oasis Battleship three to four kilometers away.

When he arrived at the bottom of the battleship, this giant vessel had completed slowing down, returning to the minimum speed of one kilometer per hour, as if it were walking like an ordinary person.

However, at this moment, the tail of the battleship emitted waves of high-temperature heat, and even the nearby space appeared distorted due to the turbulent air currents, creating a refracting effect.

Operating at high speed for over an hour to break through the wolf-surrounded mountainous region had overdrawn this steel behemoth, which lacks its power core and is incomplete, too much.

The six super electric turbines, howling and roaring at high speed, drained the energy reserves of the battery modules.

At this moment, it was like Lord Bishop, burning out the last ounce of strength.

Under the spotlight above, a Second-Tier Priest came along the lookout tower and opened the drain valve.

Letting the wastewater filtered by the Oasis Garden freely pour over the tail of the battleship for physical cooling.

The steel shell at over a hundred degrees, upon contact with fresh water, erupted grey-white steam that turned into mist in mid-air, blown backwards along with the wind and dust.

Dust quickly fell as it combined with water droplets.

Like a water truck, it extinguished the dust raised at the tail of the battleship.

The Oasis Battleship reappeared before the crowd behind it, along with the vaporizing mist, refracting a rainbow stretching for hundreds of meters.

This scene, witnessed by the survivors of various villages in Oasis Town and tens of thousands of Deserters, was like a sign of victory, instantly uplifting spirits.

It also rekindled hope in everyone’s hearts.

And the thirst for water.

Without water, no one can leave this Gobi desert near the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area.

As long as the Oasis Battleship exists, it still holds the life and death fate of everyone.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, ascended the hanging ladder on the side of the battleship, and looked at the scene behind him with a solemn expression.

This time, he had another important task.

That is, to secure enough water resources for his convoy to cross this wasteland.

Previously, a Heavy Truck Transporter’s inventory of fifty tons of storage in half of the cargo box was more than sufficient for the team of a hundred people.

Even traveling across the wilderness for half a year, water wouldn’t be insufficient.

But now, the number of Lin Feng’s convoy is about to swell to over a thousand people.

Even with a minimal daily consumption of two liters per person,

they would consume two tons of water a day.

Calculating based on the longest seven-day journey of the Pilgrimage Convoy, at least 10,000 tons are needed.

Moreover, the Pilgrimage Convoy is only a hundred strong, and the vehicle performance is the best in Oasis Town.

With a convoy of a thousand, already meeting the standards of a small settlement, the line stretches over a hundred meters front to back.

To maintain formation, speed cannot be increased.

Lin Feng estimates it will take at least a month to cross three to four thousand kilometers to reach the outskirts of the Holy City.

During this period, water consumption will require at least a hundred tons of reserves to deal with any emergencies and, upon arriving in the Holy City, have the strength to interact with local powers and avoid being manipulated.

With this thought, Lin Feng quickly arrived at the upper deck of the battleship.

The current situation on the upper deck has changed drastically from the past. Everyone here doesn’t have the joy of surviving a disaster, but instead, a sense of desolation spreads out...
