Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

"This matter... don’t tell Su An, his hatred for the Scorching Sun runs deep and he’s prone to rash actions..."

With that, Lord Bishop paused, his aura growing weaker.

After several seconds, he trembled and, with his pale lips, continued to speak:

"That... girl, is one of his... plans..."

"The Oasis, is just... a bait..."

"Leave... early..."

Having finished, it seemed as if Lord Bishop experienced a final surge of energy, suddenly raising his right arm to grab Lin Feng’s wrist, startling Lin Feng into almost pulling away in retreat, while his left hand instinctively reached for the armor-piercing cannon at his waist.

Fortunately, Lord Bishop merely wanted to grab hold of something, like a drowning man struggling to escape death’s abyss to take a breath of earthly air.

He had no intention of launching a last attack to drag Lin Feng down with him.

Though in his current state, Lord Bishop was unlikely to achieve that, Lin Feng, being naturally cautious, still took certain precautions.

Once he confirmed that Lord Bishop was purely instinctively resisting death, Lin Feng relaxed a little, allowing the bishop’s survival instincts to manifest in his life’s final moments.

But as the brightness in Lord Bishop’s widened eyes gradually faded...

He was intently staring at the engraved deity on the church’s stained glass window, as if he saw the Divine Kingdom of the Master of the Holy Spring opening its gates to him.

And at this moment, he seemed to realize everything, turning his head to look at Lin Feng by his side, showing a hint of a relieved smile, as he slowly released his grip and said with a smile:

"Hope..."

"Lies with you..."

With that, he slowly closed his eyes, his right arm resting on Lin Feng’s wrist also relaxed.

Having lived for over nine hundred years, and having personally established Oasis Town, Lord Bishop now fell into eternal rest.

Lin Feng gazed at the old man before him for a long time.

He had a feeling that in his final moments, the bishop must have seen something, which led to those words.

Perhaps he saw the future in that instant.

But he could no longer return to reality, able only to leave this cruel world with solace.

After a long while, Lin Feng stood up and looked at the high wall glass before him, at the center of the nine-grid pattern, the Master of the Holy Spring and the eight ancient saints.

Under the refraction of light, they seemed to come alive, directing their gaze towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at the blurred face of the Master of the Holy Spring, this great being who rose from obscurity and defied fate, intending to change humanity’s fate of enslavement with his power alone, but ultimately unable to escape the shackles of destiny.

Just as Lord Bishop said, the Shepherd’s Method broke the chains of the old era, only to become the cage of the new era.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly remembered the "Holy Spring Scripture" hidden in the Desert Wolf Battle Car, which might contain more details.

Helping Lin Feng understand the changes that occurred in the Holy Spring Sect during the post-Age of Gods, and the entanglements and grudges between the Holy See and other prominent forces of the wasteland over the past millennium.

To speculate the true culprits behind this attack on the Holy Temple Knight Corps, and what further actions this hidden group might be planning.

Leaving the Great Cathedral, Lin Feng immediately took out a walkie-talkie to call the convoy’s camp, instructing them to move the water storage truck to the Oasis Battleship to prepare for re-filling.

The heavy truck transporter converted into a water storage vehicle had its original twenty-meter long container replaced with a twenty-five meter long and five meter wide cylindrical tank.

With a capacity of approximately five hundred tons.

The current team’s fifty-ton freshwater reserve was kept in ordinary truck water tanks, only sufficient to fill about half a vehicle.

So, for now, this heavy water tanker wasn’t yet necessary.

Ding Yi was planning to use it to display stored evolved Desolate Wolf corpses since leaving them in the open would not only attract insects but also seep out blood, dripping on the ground which could attract hunters.

The Desert Wolf Race could precisely track and lock onto the convoy heading for the Holy City based on this information.

Now that Lin Feng acquired an additional three hundred tons of water resources, it would be enough to fill most of the heavy water tanker, finally giving purpose to this transport vehicle taken from Mechanical Village.

And soon enough, the tanker truck, directed by Ding Yi, left the Five Major Villages to catch up with the Oasis Battleship which had slowed its speed.

Lin Feng jumped off the stern of the battleship, landing in front of the heavy tanker, seeing that the one driving the modified heavy truck was the most experienced and senior driver in the convoy, Liu Mingfei.

The latter, although not as ambitious as Liu Qian, had now become a Mid-Tier One Evolver and was the convoy’s driver leader, usually responsible for training and guiding new drivers in the logistics support personnel.

Besides, the most important material reserve transport vehicle in the team was also personally piloted by him.

Now, the more crucial water source naturally fell to Liu Mingfei.

Upon seeing Lin Feng, the latter immediately opened the car door and came to the iron walkway beside the car, letting the apprentice co-driver take over the wheel.

He personally approached Lin Feng:

"The water inlet of the storage truck is at the back of the car head, it’s best to use a hose for transmission after opening."

As he said this, Liu Mingfei climbed onto the water tank top of the transporter, unscrewed the valve, and pulled out the filling port.

Lin Feng nodded, then saw the guards at the battleship’s stern, a patrol team consisting of assistant priests and combat priests, appearing overhead.

Three or four of them jumped down, pulling a thirty-centimeter thick water tank from the stern, and then a Tier One Late-Stage captain above forcefully unscrewed the water outlet valve.

Lin Feng remembered this valve, when he first arrived at Oasis Town and participated in the Holy Spring Day during the Ceremony, it was Lord Bishop himself who unscrewed it to bestow freshwater, representing the Holy Spring Gospel, to the forty or fifty thousand Deserters.

Now, with the effort of the patrol captain, the main water valve finally loosened slightly, releasing a strong stream of water through the hose held by those below into the transporter.

The clear freshwater gushed into the tank at high speed, stirring up a flurry of white bubbles which vanished instantly.

This is the life source on the wasteland.

It was the key advantage that allowed the Master of the Holy Spring to carve a blood path through the chaotic era dominated by emerging heroes and ascend against the heavens.

The wasteland desert under the Three Days in the Sky never lacks energy sources, the focus is on how to convert light sources into the chemical energy life needs.

And the crucial factor here is the scarce water source.

With so much freshwater reserve, the convoy had the confidence to undertake a long journey across the wasteland, as the lack of water could lead to the disintegration of the entire team.

As the refilling continued, the water level gradually rose, although Father Su An said it was three hundred tons, Lin Feng estimated that about four hundred tons had already been filled.

Such generosity was clearly because Su An needed Lin Feng to report intelligence, thus providing more assistance.

Once the water was almost full, Lin Feng let Liu Mingfei drive back first.

Watching the departing water truck, Lin Feng knew it was about time for him to set off as well.

Soon after, two figures, a man and a woman, walked down from the Oasis Battleship.

The man, naturally, was Father Su An, fully armed in the Undying Holy Armor, and the woman beside him was surprisingly Shen Yue, who had already advanced to the Late Stage.

This guy had become a Senior Assistant Priest who, according to the church’s internal regulations, could apply to be transferred back to the frontline Holy City, staying within the diocese.

During the upheaval caused by Li Hao’s rebellion and the Desert Wolf Race crisis, she made significant contributions, earning enough merit to return to the Holy City.

She no longer needed to stay in this remote and desolate place.

Father Su An approached, handing over a black box to Shen Yue beside him, and said:

"This is the combat module within the Undying Holy Armor, which records the combat process and energy waves."

"It will be managed by Shen Yue, and she will accompany your team to the Holy City."

"At that time, depending on the actual situation, she might depart earlier, blending into the team."

Lin Feng nodded, knowing that the church would naturally not trust something so important to him directly.

If he diverted and ran away in the middle of the journey, it would take over a week for the Holy City to receive the news...

The longer the delay, the greater the changes.

After the transfer, Shen Yue put away the combat module and smiled at Lin Feng:

"Greetings, Leader Lin, we’re working together again!"
