Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

The old man’s left arm hung empty as he walked alone in the vast wilderness.

Originally, he was just blending in at the rear of the Hunting Wilderness Guild.

Following behind a large group of Deserters, seeking an opportunity to approach his sensed target.

But after Lin Feng and Bai Ye completed their transaction, the former’s team directly ramped up and sped into the depths of the wilderness like a whirlwind.

Leaving the Salvation Army convoy gradually merging with the Hunting Wilderness Guild, forming a large medium-sized settlement.

For the old man, this was bad news.

From the north in Ancient Zhengzhou City, he had endured a grueling battle that drained his remaining life, then dragged himself a thousand miles to Oasis Town...

Struggling to blend into the convoy that left early, only to find the target slipping further away.

Thus, he decisively parted from the main group and headed alone southwest.

This was the route of Lin Feng and his team’s, taking the shortest path back to Oasis Avenue.

The Salvation Army chose the direction to the ancient Zhengzhou City to the northwest, heading all the way north, reaching the northern border’s Chaotic Land while swiftly distancing from Oasis Avenue, avoiding encounters with the Holy City Diocese’s reinforcement forces.

From this moment, the two sides gradually drifted apart.

The old man’s figure naturally stood out prominently.

Although his thin and emaciated body was draped in a yellow-brown burlap robe, blending with the barren surroundings, his moving figure could still be easily spotted at close range.

Immediately, a few Level 9 Hunters drove single electric cars to pursue him.

Employed by the Hunting Wilderness Guild, they had become the guild’s protective squad, though their main duty was not guarding but assisting the guild to ensure the entire team maintained order and stability, preventing fragmentation.

A behavior like the elder’s would naturally arouse the Hunters’ attention and vigilance.

Because indeed, some Oasis Permanent Residents and Deserters were willing to leave Oasis Town, drawn by Lin Feng convoy’s prowess.

Now that both sides officially parted, the Hunters under the guild naturally had to follow closely.

Fortunately, the number of personnel leaving the convoy was not large, with only five or six old vehicles mostly owned by Permanent Residents.

Their performance was average, unable to match Lin Feng’s convoy.

If it weren’t for the merging of Salvation Army and the Hunting Wilderness Guild slowing down, the old vehicles without enough Storage Batteries wouldn’t have been able to make it out.

Soon these vehicles were dissuaded by the Hunters driving their tanks.

Leaving only twenty or thirty Deserters, continuing to chase after Lin Feng’s distant convoy.

Running the fastest among them was the elder, steadfastly heading towards Lin Feng’s convoy.

It was he who led the remaining forces of the Fiery Sun Divine Sect to ambush and heavily strike the Holy Temple Knight Corps.

But now, he was left with only his last breath.

To ensure the continuation of the inheritance within him, he hadn’t even treated his severed left arm, injecting the last bit of Life Force into his heart to maintain stamina.

From Ancient Zhengzhou City to Oasis Town, he had traveled nearly two hundred kilometers, and from Oasis Town to now, time was running out for him.

If it were other humans, under the scorching of Fiery Sun Energy, enduring ground temperatures of fifty to sixty degrees, maintaining to walk individually over a hundred kilometers would be the Evolver’s limit.

Even those with strong Physique like Tier Two Evolvers, without sufficient water and food supply, would find it challenging to complete this over two hundred kilometers trek.

But the Grand Priest was himself a Fiery Sun Believer,

the Fiery Sun radiation that others feared avoiding was, in his view, a source of nourishment, enhancing the recovery of injuries upon absorption.

What he lacked was insufficient remaining Life Force, the more Fiery Sun Energy absorbed, the greater the burden, hastening the depletion of his last bit of life.

Thus, as he gazed at the convoy disappearing ahead, his heart grew increasingly anxious.

Coincidentally, Hunters arrived behind to block his way.

The convoy ahead had already widened the gap to two or three kilometers, the front ranks disappearing at a corner, leaving behind several dozen vehicles at the rear and swirling dust.

Seeing this, the Grand Priest narrowed his eyes and quickly picked up his pace.

Though left with only his last breath, it was the breath of a Tier Two Peak Powerhouse, combined with a Level 29 Evolution physique, far beyond the mere Hunters.

A brief acceleration exhibited a speed of forty kilometers per hour, akin to a stroll for ordinary people.

This quickly attracted the Hunters’ attention.

To explode with such speed, ordinary Level 9 Enhanced People could hardly achieve, unless they were exemplary within Level 9 Enhancement or a Tier One Evolver.

Given that this wasn’t the flat Oasis Avenue but the rough Gobi desert, coupled with ground temperatures of forty to fifty degrees, even though distanced from the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area, without any protection, slight strenuous activity could cause profuse sweating, leading to dehydration and fainting.

Seeing this, several Hunter leaders immediately drove the only combat vehicle to pursue.

An individual of such excellence, whether a Tier One Evolver or existing during Enhancement Stage, would naturally be a promising figure. Persuading him to return to the guild would certainly be a great achievement.

As the combat vehicle’s engine roared, the remaining members drove other single electric scooters, escorting the other Permanent Residents and Deserters back along the route, notifying the Evolvers in the team for support.
