Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

After both sides merged, Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan got out of their vehicles and approached, while Bai Ye walked alone from the opposite side, followed by a squad of late-stage Evolvers.

This was the standard configuration of the Salvation Army under her command.

The combat team was entirely composed of Tier One Late-Stage Evolvers, extremely powerful; initially, in the Taishan Ruins, it greatly shocked Lin Feng.

After all, strong individuals at the Tier One Late-Stage are regarded as significant figures in Oasis Town, and even in the Holy City, they hold a middle to upper-level status.

But Bai Ye’s Salvation Army has as many as thirty to forty Tier One Late-Stage strong individuals, though other members have generally lower Evolution Levels, including several hundred Enhanced People.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Salvation Army is undeniable.

They managed to withstand the impact of two to three thousand evolved Desolate Wolves and two Desolate Wolf Beasts for several hours...

No village in Oasis Town could achieve such a feat.

Bai Ye’s development plan for the Salvation Army is to follow an elite strategy, concentrating resources to cultivate a few of the strongest individuals, rather than scattering resources across most of the members.

In the initial stage of force development, resources must be used efficiently, especially Evolutionary Resources, which are extremely precious and limited.

Moreover, with the overwhelming power of high-level Evolvers in combat, concentrating resources on a few people or even one person, pursuing ultimate power to safeguard everyone’s safety...

This is the choice of species evolution and the thought process behind the development of human forces.

Lin Feng, observing the Salvation Army, suddenly realized that the allocation of Evolutionary Resources in his hands must also focus on a few key leaders.

Especially Tier Two Evolution Agent and Tier One Late-stage Evolution Agent, concentrated on a few individuals, striving to cultivate several Tier One Late-Stage Nineteen-level beings.

The latter, in daily life, only needs to consume Tier One Late-Term Evolutionary Meat, yet can be more powerful in combat than three or four Level 17 entities.

It’s like one portion of meat nurturing several late-stage strong individuals, only providing a small amount of Level 19 Evolutionary Dried Meat during the battle period, which is highly cost-effective.

Furthermore, a batch of Level 19 Tier One Peak Evolvers certainly provides more pressure on outsiders or opponents compared to a hundred Tier One Late-Stage beings, creating an immensely high sense of oppression in a confrontation.

At this moment, Bai Ye held an umbrella and spoke first:

"Are you planning to head west along the way until you re-enter the Oasis Avenue at the Ancient Luoyang City ruins?"

Lin Feng nodded.

He intends to travel through the upper and lower intersections as quickly as possible, reaching the junction behind Oasis Avenue, then head west.

This way, he can avoid the support troops departing from the Holy City Diocese, as well as evade the Pilgrimage Convoy returning to the Holy City from Oasis Town...

Whether traveling via the northern intersection, passing Ancient Zhengzhou City, or crossing the Zhuma Divine Hall from the south, requires a big detour, covering a distance of three to four hundred kilometers.

Whereas crossing the wilderness gobi between the two paths directly, the planned route on the map is within two hundred kilometers.

Considering the half-day delay during Holy Spring Day, Lin Feng can be a whole day faster than the Pilgrimage Convoy.

This way, even if he needs to do something along the way, he can easily evade the Pilgrimage Convoy and freely conduct activities deep in the wilderness.

For instance, locating the refugee tide of the catastrophe, and dropping the time bomb and the mutated blood of the Evil God.

Or relying on the scent of the Divine Dog to hunt down the remnants of the Desert Wolf Race, or track the migrating Rock-Horned Horse Race and capture the Rock-Horned Horse Herd.

In short, as long as he stays away from the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area behind, he will have plenty of time, without needing to hurry to reach the Holy City.

Of course, concerning the important task given to Lin Feng by Father Su An, they can expedite it, arranging a team to escort Shen Yue to reach the Holy City in advance.

This way, they can avoid him constantly following and seeing things he shouldn’t.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately replied:

"What about you guys? Planning to head straight north into the uninhabited wilderness?"

Bai Ye nodded, glancing at the large group composed of permanent residents and rioters behind Lin Feng’s team:

"That’s right, after all, taking over ten thousand people, continuing on Oasis Avenue, with Storm Holy City ahead and the Pilgrimage Convoy chasing from Oasis Town behind, it makes people uneasy."

"It’s best to lead them quickly towards the northwestern border, reaching the conflict zone between the Holy Spring Sect and Giant Enterprise Alliance sooner."

"Although the road is treacherous and progress is slow, it eliminates worries of sudden changes."

Lin Feng murmured in agreement, leaving Oasis Town, whether the other high-ranking figures of the church would recognize the decisions of the Oasis Church remains uncertain.

Although Father Su An holds a high position in the Holy City, it ultimately depends on the decision of the seven Lord Bishops.

"We will start heading towards the northern edge of Ancient Zhengzhou after advancing one hundred kilometers, and it is necessary now to screen and arrange the permanent residents and deserters of Oasis."

Bai Ye added, while stepping aside to reveal the transport truck behind her.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, unexpectedly facing separation so quickly, though it suited him well:

"Alright, let’s trade right away. Soon I need to accelerate, breaking away from the Hunting Wilderness Guild, and you can take your time handling the reorganization."

As Bai Ye spoke, members of the combat squad behind her reversed the transport truck between the two, opening the tailgate.

Showing several large freezers in the compartment.

Several people then stepped forward, entering the compartment.

As the wandering force, the Salvation Army’s resources and specifications evidently cannot compare with the Oasis Church; they don’t have specialized cold chain trucks with a freezing chamber.

Instead, they use three large refrigerators to preserve Life Source Material and High-Level Evolutionary Dried Meat.

The vehicle fleet under Lin Feng, in addition to numerous refrigerators, also has two specialized cold chain trucks capable of maintaining a continuous ultra-low temperature of minus ten degrees.

At that moment, as Bai Ye lifted the freezer lid, many cylindrical reagent tubes were displayed in front of Lin Feng and his partner.

The high-concentration Source Material inside maintained a liquid state and didn’t freeze due to the low temperature.

"According to the previously discussed price, a total of twelve Level 20 Evolution Agents, with ten being ordinary Rock Horned Horse Evolution Agents, the remaining two are Pure Source Material."

"Valued at three million points."

Lin Feng took a look; the two agents had apparent differences, Rock Horned Horse Evolution Agent appeared in grayish-white, while Pure Potion was translucent white.

After confirming no issue through system scanning, both sides continued the transaction.

Bai Ye opened another freezer, storing a substantial amount of Evolutionary Dried Meat, Level 20 Evolutionary Meat, totaling three hundred kilograms.

Priced at two thousand points per kilogram, totaling sixty thousand.

Additionally, there are thirty tubes of pure Level 10 Evolution Agent, priced at fifteen thousand.

A total of three hundred seventy-five thousand points, in exchange for Lin Feng’s fifteen hundred Level 9 permanent residents and ten thousand deserters.

After Lin Feng completed the inspection, he instructed Chen Shanshan to move this batch of precious materials onto the Desert Wolf Battle Car.

Once the transaction was completed, Bai Ye spoke during the farewell moment:

"In all honesty, if you’re eager to reach the Holy City, what you need most now is to quickly break through Mid-Tier Two, possessing combat power comparable to Late Stage to firmly establish yourself."

"The resources on the Holy City side might not be legally obtainable, but following me to the Chaotic Land can easily be grabbed."

Lin Feng shrugged, shaking his head:

"No need, I’m planning to contact the Hunting Wilderness Guild to see if there’s a chance."

"As for the Chaotic Land, I will still visit in the future; connecting then won’t be too late."

Bai Ye nodded, revealing a relieved smile:

"See you in the Chaotic Land then!"

"Hope by then you’ll already be a Mid-Stage strong individual."

Lin Feng smiled in return:

"Hope in our next meeting I can address you as Her Royal Highness."

Having said that, Lin Feng turned and boarded the Desert Wolf Battle Car, leaving the area.

No matter how Bai Ye persuaded,

Lin Feng still had to proceed to the Holy City.

After all, only there can he interact with first-class large forces, thereby quickly obtaining various Advanced Evolution Resources.

Especially Late Tier Two Evolutionary Source Material.

Currently on the wasteland, finding late-stage resources is, to some extent, even more difficult than Tier Three Origin.

Because it is the last step toward Tier Three.

All relevant resources are firmly controlled by first-class forces, namely, under the Tier Three King.

Like Storm Holy City with a population of millions, among its peripheral forces, only three major gangs have Late Tier Two strong individuals.

Their existence is closely related to several large first-class forces within the internal Safe Zone.

The Holy City requires a visit!
