Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

As long as he can rescue enough Oasis survivors from the slaughter of the Desolate Wolf Army, Lin Feng can take away thirty percent of the survivors.

This will form the foundation of the small settlement he plans to build in the future.

Currently, three-tenths of the skilled personnel among the permanent residents of the Five Major Villages have been taken away by Lin Feng, while the remaining members are mostly family loyalists or core members.

Recruiting them would only increase the instability of the convoy, so Lin Feng simply decided to give up on these people and only traded with the Li Family, giving them a quota of one hundred and fifty people.

As for the remaining selection targets, they are naturally the residents of Fifth Village and the Deserters at the back.

But to streamline the team, Lin Feng no longer intends to continue expanding the recruitment, as he doesn’t need to consider advancing to Tier Three in the short term.

Recklessly absorbing thousands of Deserters would mean thousands of mouths, whose daily consumption of water and food alone could impoverish Lin Feng.

Besides, a week ago, Lin Feng had already selected potential and capable members from the permanent residents of Fifth Village and the Deserters in the rear to replenish the team.

The rest did not meet the requirements.

Moreover, the most important thing now is to improve the quality of the team, not the quantity.

First, enhance combat and production capability to provide financial support for Lin Feng’s subsequent climb to Tier Two Peak.

So, the best solution is to take what is needed.

Lin Feng takes away a portion of the permanent residents and Deserters, and after leaving Oasis Town, he trades them to the Salvation Army to get the materials needed by the team.

Such as Evolutionary Dried Meat and Essence Evolution Agents.

At this moment, Lin Feng has arrived at the Salvation Army’s camp, seeing a group of bandaged wounded, some with torn flesh bites, and others more severely, with broken limbs.

This is a massive blow to the Salvation Army.

After all, once a Tier One Evolver’s limbs are severed, it’s challenging to regrow them, generally relegating them to logistical work and unable to continue fighting.

And over half of the injuries are like this.

This situation mainly arises in the mountains, where the Evolved Desolate Wolf Army can engage in close-quarters combat, their mouths filled with sharp teeth, easily tearing open the battle armor defense and directly ripping off limbs.

If not for the timely support of Lin Feng and Xu Wanfeng, even with the leader Bai Ye’s containment and shelter, the Salvation Army would have eventually been worn down by the endless Desolate Wolf Army’s wheel tactic, leading to total collapse and burial at the wolves’ mouths.

So the Salvation Army urgently needs to replenish manpower.

Lisa, who is changing the dressing for the wounded, sees Lin Feng and puts down the bandage, immediately walking over.

Having trained for a month in the Salvation Army, she is no longer as naive, the tiredness adding fine lines to her face, and having witnessed too much death, the light in her eyes is gradually replaced by numbness.

However, upon seeing Lin Feng, she regains her smile:

"You’re here; the leader has been waiting for you for a long time. I’ll take you over now."

Lin Feng nods and follows her to the depths of the camp.

They stop in a luxury RV modified from a Heavy Truck Transporter.

After knocking and reporting, a woman opens the door and invites Lin Feng inside.

Once inside, a rush of chilliness sweeps over Lin Feng, causing his hair to stand on end.

It’s over forty degrees outside, but inside the RV, the temperature is below twenty degrees, only sixteen or seventeen degrees.

Such a low temperature, with a nearly thirty-degree difference.

The sudden change, even for Lin Feng as a Tier Two Evolver, causes slight discomfort.

This refrigerator-like environment is apparently to put the body into a low-consumption hibernation state.

This is Lin Feng’s first time boarding Bai Ye’s private vehicle, witnessing the residence of this Tier Two Peak Powerhouse.

Accompanied by a maid, Lin Feng crosses through the corridor into the inner living room.

Finally, he sees the leader of the Salvation Army, Bai Ye himself, sitting by a bed.

On the bed lies a wounded person, wrapped in bandages, with each arm hanging several bottles of different medications.

There are anti-inflammatories, painkillers, and glucose.

A face mask is also worn, constantly providing high-concentration oxygen to catalyze cell proliferation and repair the wounds.

Lin Feng glances aside and from the half-composed face of the wounded, recognizes that it is one of the two Tier Two Evolvers of the Salvation Army, Bai Ye’s right hand, the number two figure of the Salvation Army, the muscular and broad-shouldered Ma Li.

The latter is responsible for mechanical maintenance and logistical handling in the Salvation Army, a skilled Mechanical Engineer.

It is only now that Lin Feng suddenly realizes that he seems not to have seen the second Tier Two Evolver of the Salvation Army during the support process.

And very early on, before the Wolf Race Army launched the attack, Lin Feng did not see the opponent present during his meeting with Bai Ye.

This means that Ma Li at that time was probably held hostage along with most of the Salvation Army in a valley surrounded by wolves.

As for what happened afterward, no need to think further; Bai Ye switched sides and participated in the Oasis Church’s assassination of the Wolf Race Leader, Wolf Ao.

Key thing is, although Wolf Ao was severely injured in the end, he escaped back into the mountains.

After being harmed by Bai Ye, the first thing Wolf Ao would do is undoubtedly send the offspring of his Tier Two Desolate Wolf Giant Beast subordinate for massacre and revenge on the Salvation Army.

And Ma Li’s severe injuries naturally occurred while protecting the convoy, unfortunately attacked by two Giant Beasts.

Ultimately leading to her current unconscious state.

Lin Feng can sense that at this moment, Ma Li, who is a Tier Two Early Evolver, has a presence even weaker than many Late Tier One existences. Her Life Value has dropped below half, posing a continued deterioration and life-threatening risk at any moment.
