Chapter 725 - 347: Convoy Scale, Final Handover, Farewell
The tens of thousands of people seem numerous, but when viewed as vehicles, it’s just about the same.
Assuming a load of ten people per vehicle, there are only about a thousand vehicles in total.
Ten vehicles moving side by side, spaced ten meters apart per row, stretch less than a kilometer, placed in the vast wasteland, like raindrops into the ocean, disappearing around a corner of terrain.
And Lin Feng’s convoy personnel, together with the Hunting Wilderness Guild, total around thirteen thousand people.
Among them, Lin Feng commands a thousand people, the Hunting Wilderness Guild has five hundred members, and additionally there are eleven thousand five hundred people.
However, the main bulk of the vehicle fleet is under Lin Feng’s control.
His convoy has over three hundred various types of vehicles, including forty battle cars allocated to the two hundred-member-sized armed group.
Following the standard of five people per battle car.
The rest are mainly ordinary transport vehicles, used for logistical material reserves, dormitories, etc., totaling two hundred and fifty vehicles.
They carry three hundred members from the logistics department, and five hundred and fifty industrial technical personnel, including industrial machinery tools and materials.
Also transporting a hundred live Rock-Horned Horse herd, and imprisoning fifty Upper-class slaves.
And lastly, there are twenty heavy truck transporters.
Responsible for transporting large machinery, such as shell manufacturing machines and laboratories, and also used to store Desert Wolf corpses, crucial water resources, etc.
So Lin Feng’s convoy can achieve an average of five people per vehicle allocation ratio, not crowded.
Ordinary transport vehicles converted into dormitories, seven to eight meters long compartments, divided into two levels, can easily accommodate ten members living in them, able to support two to three families.
Placed in the resource-scarce wasteland, such treatment is better than before in Oasis Town, already surpassing most Wandering Forces.
Belonging to the absolute upper tier of Second-tier influences.
Additionally, possessing as many as four hundred Tier One Evolvers, two Tier Two Powerhouses, and a reserve of two thousand tons of Evolutionary Dried Meat.
Plus, with self-sufficient farming industries that meet their food consumption needs, and leader Lin Feng’s upgrades to weapons and machinery, directly solving the two major issues of food and weapons.
Currently, this convoy of a thousand people, which was still a small settlement, has already formed the prototype of a medium to large settlement in terms of material reserves and productivity, comparable to top-tier Second-tier influences.
Just short of member Evolution Levels, as long as they can be improved, cultivating more Late Tier One powerhouses, and giving birth to a leader at the Late Middle Stage of Tier Two...
Even positioned ahead in Storm Holy City, amongst medium and small settlements on the periphery, they could become one of the large factions, linking up with the first-rate influences in the internal Safe Zone.
And what Lin Feng and his subordinates currently lack are advanced evolutionary resources.
Although holding as many as two thousand three hundred Tier One Evolved Desolate Wolf carcasses, and two Tier Two bodies of Desolate Wolf beasts, processing the bodies will also take some time.
Once separating out skin, bone materials, flesh, and organs, and most importantly the Life Source Material within Evolutionary Meat, they can begin research into Desert Wolf Evolution Agent, establishing a stable evolution pathway for Desert Wolves.
If extracting pure potion directly, it would also cost Lin Feng considerable effort.
Mainly in the upgrade and refresh of the Source Filter, even if each time requires only a little Life Value, thousands of Source Material means thousands of Life Value.
Regarding the most important Tier Two Life Source Material within the Desolate Wolf beast, although there are seven parts, one must be reserved for the consumption of the Divine Dog’s advancement to Tier Two.
So currently the most crucial task is using the tens of thousands of permanent and deserter residents, to trade with the Salvation Army for their reserves of Rock Horned Horse Evolution Agent, and a small portion of pure potion.
Crossing the junction on Oasis Avenue, moving through the wasteland, seated in the third-floor of the high-rise, Lin Feng soon sees the Salvation Army’s presence tens of kilometers away from the window.
The team led by Bai Ye had already left half a day ago after taking the promised reward from the Church and Lin Feng’s team, rushing to the front of the Oasis Battleship.
They had by now advanced to twenty kilometers away.
Conveniently helping Lin Feng and others to scout the advancing route ahead.
As the dozen or so lead reconnaissance battle cars gradually connected with the Salvation Army, they also sent back the location of the other party.
The Salvation Army slowed its pace, waiting for Lin Feng and the Hunting Wilderness Guild to come forward and meet.
The two sides finally met seven hours later, thirty kilometers from the junction, at a rocky gravel beach.
However, out of caution, the Salvation Army and Lin Feng’s convoy did not directly converge.
Instead, they stopped five hundred meters apart.
It was no longer in Oasis Town, where there was still some sense of order; as forces from different backgrounds, if they were recklessly merged together, disputes or accidents could easily occur.
Moreover, in the wasteland, different forces inherently harbor hostility.
Due to resource scarcity, the only way to survive better is to devour each other, like hunters with guns in a dark forest.
Being both predator and prey.
So despite Lin Feng’s good relations and extensive cooperation and transactions with Bai Ye, they must adhere to the basic rules of conduct on the wasteland.
Eventually, the leaders on both sides emerged from the convoy, to meet on the rocky wasteland.
Lin Feng sat in the Desert Wolf Battle Car, with Chen Shanshan alert and prepared in the driver’s seat.
On the Salvation Army’s side, Bai Ye sat in a regular battle car, followed by a transport car.
