Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Lin Feng nodded, then spoke:

"I need a large amount of freshwater resources."

"After recruiting personnel, the convoy will have a scale of at least a thousand people, consuming four to five tons of freshwater daily. This trip to the Holy City will take at least half a month, or up to a month."

"We need to additionally supplement with over a hundred tons of fresh water."

This is easily resolved, as the Oasis Battleship has a constant reserve of over five thousand tons of fresh water to meet the consumption needs of the Upper District and the Five Major Villages, as well as sustaining some Deserters to prevent them from dying of thirst en masse.

Father Su An directly replied:

"No problem, I’ll give you the amount of three hundred tons, equivalent to half the load of a heavy truck transporter, enough to ensure the convoy’s water consumption for three months."

"However, by the time the main force of the convoy reaches Storm Holy City, the speed is still too slow. It’s better to act in batches, allowing the main force to proceed as usual while sending a team of Evolvers driving performance-enhanced war vehicles to advance at full speed, reaching the destination in three to four days."

"I’ll give you several tokens for the team members to contact the Church personnel."

"There is a regulation in the Holy City: small settlements of over a thousand people, be it villages or gangs, must have a Church Cultivator stationed to ensure order and stability."

"At that time, as long as you can find a Tier One Assistant Priest and contact a post with Combat Priests nearby, they can relay the news of the Temple Knight being attacked to the higher-ups in the Church."

"In this way, the Holy See, being aware of the seriousness, will definitely send a team to respond, and you simply need to hand over the battle module carried with the team."

Lin Feng responded affirmatively, as Father Su An’s plan was simple yet feasible, at least ensuring the message was delivered to the Holy City.

Moreover, departing ahead of time reduced the chances of Lin Feng being targeted significantly.

After all, the enemies lurking in the shadows were targeting the Church; a common convoy like his wouldn’t even meet their standards.

After discussing other details, Father Su An mentioned the situation of Lord Bishop behind him.

The two of them looked back at the podium, at the old man lying in the reclining chair.

The latter’s breathing was faint, already in the final moments of his life.

Father Su An sighed, having faced crisis after crisis along the way, a journey full of twists and turns, and even now, having repelled the Desert Wolf Race, the death threat hanging over Oasis Town wasn’t completely resolved.

Now, even Lord Bishop was exhausted, and once he handed over and left, the future fate of Oasis Town seemed bleak.

It was a pity that Bishop Zhang Hui spent his life and effort building this settlement.

"Lord Bishop’s self-awareness is gradually vanishing, brain cells are quickly dying, leaving only an empty Tier Two body."

Father Su An slowly continued:

"According to his last wishes before losing consciousness, once he completely lost self-awareness, someone must send his remaining Tier Two shell to the Zhuma Divine Hall, to be used as fuel for maintaining the Divine Hall, continuing to serve the Master of the Holy Spring."

"Originally, Lord Bishop intended to make a pilgrimage to the Zhuma Divine Hall one last time before the end of his life, but the intense battle with the Desert Wolf Race was beyond expectation and exhausted his remaining life force."

Saying this, Father Su An sighed deeply.

Lin Feng fell into silence as well.

Having dedicated his life, even in his final moments still contributing to the Master of the Holy Spring, fulfilling his faith, only to end up with such a fate...

If it wasn’t for the adherence to the Holy Spring Scripture, leaving a seed of the Primordial Sect unbound by Oasis Town, with his talent and capabilities, Bishop Zhang Hui could have lived a life a hundredfold, thousandfold better than now.

Even if he had joined the Zhuma Divine Hall early on to serve as a Divine Servant, he could have achieved eternal life with God, without worrying about dying from brain cell degeneration millennia later.

With his devout faith in the Master of the Holy Spring, he could certainly pass through the Divine Hall’s tests and trials.

Sadly, he couldn’t hang on until Oasis Town reached outside the Zhuma Divine Hall in his current dying state.

Just as Father Su An and Lin Feng were silently contemplating, Lord Bishop lying in the chair suddenly raised his hand, wiggling a few fingers, pointing at Lin Feng.

At this moment, he looked withered, covered in fine lines.

His hair was all grey, even his eyebrows were a semi-transparent white, like a candle in the wind, with barely any life force left inside.

Yet in this critical final moment, he made such a gesture, evidently having something extremely important to convey to Lin Feng before his life ended.

Father Su An immediately understood, turning to pat Lin Feng on the shoulder and then leaving the cathedral hall.

Leaving Lin Feng and Lord Bishop alone in this grand cathedral.

Lin Feng then stepped forward, slowly squatting beside Lord Bishop.

At this moment, the sunlight from the bow of the ship outside passed through the glass wall of the cathedral, refracting into colorful rays, dazzling down on them as if it were a path to heaven on earth.

Lord Bishop squinted slightly, gently grasped Lin Feng’s hands, and weakly, intermittently said:

"I... I observed through the observatory... saw the situation ahead..."

"There are energy... fluctuations, related to the Scorching Sun Curse... they may... use the Scorching Sun to strike against the Temple Knights..."

"Quickly... go to the Holy City, warn... them, prepare for this... there’s also a shadow of the Divine Teachings..."
