Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Riding the tricycle, I returned to the small bus.

The hotel's boss Huang was on an A-frame ladder, cleaning the dust-covered photovoltaic panels on the roof.

Chen Shanshan found a few ropes with hooks and secured the supplies on the vehicle, locking the tricycle next to the bus.

Then, she attached the old cart to the back of the tricycle, preparing to follow Lin Feng's advice and buy a few pieces of burlap to build a sunshade canopy, and a two-square-meter soft cushion, so they could rest well in the wilderness.

Lin Feng boarded the bus and entered the compartment, letting Ding Yi go out for some fresh air and to check out the new vehicle.

He then pulled out the exquisite revolver from his waist, integrated six ordinary refined steel wolf teeth, consumed a bit of his life value,

and initiated the revolver's Lv4 upgrade.

Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted outside.

Chen Shanshan noticed someone had been tailing them and was taking action to apprehend them.

Lin Feng locked the revolver's safety, tucked it into his pocket, and quickly got up and walked to the bus door.

He saw that the man and woman who had inquired about the wolf teeth earlier were being forced into a corner by Chen Shanshan with a titanium rod.

"They've been following us the whole way, I noticed it a long time ago, they're definitely up to no good!"

The man said慌慌张张, "No, we don't have any bad intentions..."

"You're that stall owner, it's us, we were there!"

Chen Shanshan turned her head away, and Lin Feng then explained that they had once inquired about wolf teeth.

But this didn't dispel the misunderstanding.

Chen Shanshan's gaze remained icy:

"That doesn't prove anything! All parts of the Wasteland Wolf have been sold, you have no reason to keep following us."

The man stared at the tip of the rod already pressed against his neck, then looked at Boss Huang, the owner of the place, who was watching the scene with great interest from beside the bus in the distance, with no intention of intervening...

So, after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said:

"I, we... want to invite you to team up and hunt a..."

The man gradually lowered his voice:

"Rockhorn Horse."

Chen Shanshan frowned slightly, clearly not believing him:

"An ordinary Rockhorn Horse is only as strong as a mid-stage enhancer, you two are one mid-stage and one late-stage, why would you need to invite others to join?"

The man's face flushed red, and he stammered:

"No, it's not an ordinary Rockhorn Horse, it's a level nine late-stage Rockhorn Horse, and..."

"It's currently in a very weak state, it's the best time to hunt it."

Chen Shanshan remained skeptical of this claim:

"If that's true, how did you find it? And why bother asking us to cooperate?"

At this time, the woman who was being protected behind the man, spoke softly to help explain:

"On the way here, we heard a few faint cries and found a female Rockhorn Horse in a hidden cave, experiencing a difficult birth."

"Unfortunately, it gave birth to a stillborn foal."

"After eating the stillborn foal, the Rockhorn Horse cautiously left."

Chen Shanshan narrowed her eyes:

"One-sided story, where's the evidence?"

At this moment, Lin Feng behind her had already reacted and looked at the cloth bag that the woman had opened.

A bloody smell wafted out.

"This is, half of the placenta left in the cave."

"It's less than two hours old, very fresh."

Chen Shanshan leaned closer to observe, and it was indeed as the woman said, this wrinkled, slimy tissue was very fresh.

It couldn't have appeared more than three hours ago.

Enough to prove that the woman was telling the truth.

But the experienced Chen Shanshan's inner doubts weren't so easily dispelled:

"Why us? You could completely take care of the Rockhorn Horse yourselves, or leak this information to any top Wastelander team and get a reward."

The woman then replied seriously:

"Because you're strong, able to hunt Wasteland Wolves, and most importantly, you don't lack food and there are few of you..."

"Even a level nine Rockhorn Horse, even if it's weakened by a difficult birth, isn't something we can kill. If we cooperate with other strong Wastelander teams, we'll only get scraps and risk being ambushed."

"Cooperate together, half each, how about it?"

Only now did Chen Shanshan lower the titanium rod in her hand and look at the two of them:

"My name is Chen Shanshan, the captain, the one running the stall is Lin Feng, and this is Ding Yi, three people in total."

The man breathed a sigh of relief and introduced himself:

"My name is Liu Mingfei, a level seven enhancer."

"This is Liu Qian, a level four enhancer."

Chen Shanshan looked at the two who looked somewhat similar:

"Siblings?"

Liu Mingfei nodded with a wry smile:

"That's right, we were brought out together. I'm thirty years old, used to be a taxi driver, my sister is twenty-six, studied accounting, and has been struggling in the wasteland for over a year."

"Back then, because we didn't have any special skills, no one wanted us, and we ended up becoming Wastelanders."

Then he directly admitted:

"The team we were with before has disbanded, and this time we accidentally discovered it, but our strength wasn't enough, so we were wandering around the market, trying to find suitable partners with similar strength."

Survivors will appear in the underground ruins. After they are discovered, the village at the front will conduct the first round of screening. Those with professional skills, such as maintenance technicians, doctors, nurses, and even farmers who can grow land, will be absorbed and taken away.

And teachers like Ding Yi, or drivers and accountants like the Liu siblings, who have no useful special skills, will be ruthlessly abandoned and left to fend for themselves in the wasteland.

As for those who were already late-stage enhancers or evolved beings, they will be taken away by the towns or large settlements ahead.

It's not the turn of Oasis Town at the end.

After the two sides briefly introduced themselves, Chen Shanshan pulled Lin Feng and Ding Yi aside for a private discussion.

The Liu siblings stood in the sun, and Boss Huang, seeing this, invited them to sit next to the bus, seemingly very interested in the Rockhorn Horse as well.

"Should we go?"

Chen Shanshan asked.

Seemingly asking the two people, but actually asking Lin Feng.

As a non-combat logistics support personnel, Ding Yi's biggest role in this trip is to keep watch and guard the vehicle.

Lin Feng didn't directly express his opinion, but instead asked:

"What kind of animal is a Rockhorn Horse? Is it a herbivore? I seem to have heard you mention it before."

Chen Shanshan pointed to the bow and arrow on the tricycle:

"The horn bow is made from the pair of horns of the Rockhorn Horse."

"Rockhorn Horses are herbivores that live in this area. They are more than four meters tall, and adult Rockhorn Horses have a strength of around level seven and weigh close to a ton."

"And the Rockhorn Horse leader can evolve to the first stage, equivalent to a first-tier human evolver, which we simply cannot kill with our current strength."

"If Liu Mingfei is telling the truth, a weakened level nine Rockhorn Horse can allow our overall strength to improve further. Even when facing the wasteland wolf pack, we will have the confidence to fight them."

Lin Feng knew that the captain was an eighth-level enhancer. If he could hunt a ninth-level Rockhorn Horse and advance to the ninth level, coupled with his own abilities…

Even if the team only had three people, they could be among the top wasteland teams.

The latest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

They wouldn't have to fear the wasteland wolf pack behind them anymore.

At this time, Ding Yi began to analyze:

"The Rockhorn Horse's body surface has a layer of rock armor more than ten centimeters thick, with extremely high defense. Ordinary firearms bullets, and even bows and arrows, cannot penetrate it."

"Only the captain's gun-staff can break through the defense."

Chen Shanshan nodded:

"The horn bow that Lin Feng optimized is also okay. As for killing it, as long as we prepare well, there won't be any problems."

At this moment, a reminder suddenly popped up in front of Lin Feng.

LV3 Excellent Revolver has been upgraded.

After quickly browsing through it, he immediately said:

"No problem, let's do it then!"

Chen Shanshan and Ding Yi were a little surprised because Lin Feng's tone was very firm.

In addition, Captain Chen was already somewhat tempted, so the matter was settled.

At this moment, Boss Huang was talking with the Liu family siblings.

Seeing Lin Feng and the others coming, he enthusiastically said:

"This cooperation is good. It just so happens that they don't have any teammates either. After killing the Rockhorn Horse, I can directly receive the extra meat. In return, I will take you to the next Holy Spring Day for free."

It is difficult to find buyers for a large amount of fresh meat jerky outside of large trading markets like the Holy Spring Gathering. Selling it to the official Wasteland Hunter Guild in one go would result in a very low price.

Therefore, permanent residents of the village's convoy would rely on their network of contacts to help sell it at a price slightly higher than the official price.

They could earn a certain percentage of commission and would also form stable partnerships with strong wasteland teams.

Boss Huang's minibus had two wasteland teams with less than ten people each, who rented it long-term at a discounted price.

If Chen Shanshan got rid of the burdens in the team and only brought Qi Shan and a group of mid-stage enhancers, hunting and gathering would barely allow them to afford the bus, without having to struggle in the wasteland.

However, recently, a team that went out a few days ago has not returned. Boss Huang hopes to find another strong wasteland team as soon as possible to fill the vacancy.

That's why he actively brought Lin Feng and the others together with the Liu family siblings to cooperate.

Chen Shanshan understood Old Huang's intentions.

In fact, she didn't mind outsiders joining.

Now that they have Qi Shan, a hidden danger, and the wolf pack following them, it is very risky to go out with only three people.

If the Liu family siblings have no problems in terms of character and behavior, forming a new wasteland team with them is entirely feasible.

Mutual support and warmth have always been the survival strategy of bottom-level wastelanders.

It is also the only way for wastelanders to resist the harsh wasteland environment and continue to survive.

Under Boss Huang's coordination, both parties decided to rest for a while before setting off directly.

Lin Feng returned to the bus compartment and carefully checked the upgraded LV4 pistol:

「Magazine Pistol LV4, White Quality」

「Basic Attributes: Damage 15, Effective Range 200 meters, Remaining Ordinary Bullets: 50, Wolf Fang Bullets: 6; Upgraded to Host Level Limit」

「Additional Attribute: Bullet Recovery 1 / 1s」

「New Additional Attribute: Space Magazine」

「Space Magazine: Gain Extra Magazine Space」

「Evaluation: An upgraded pistol. The magazine solves the problem of the revolver's poor airtightness, improves ballistic stability, increases shooting accuracy, and enhances lethality. The appearance can be switched freely, but being handsome is a lifelong matter.」

「Note: Synthesized with six wolf fang bullets, it has extremely strong penetrating power, increases damage by 5 points, ignores white quality armor below level ten, and the bullet head can be recycled.」

After reading the introduction, Lin Feng gently stroked the magazine pistol. In the revolver-like cylinder that it retained, he could see the silver bullet heads of the wolf fang bullets, shimmering with a cold light.

This was also the reason why he agreed so readily.

Six wolf fang bullets were Lin Feng's confidence to dare to challenge a level nine Rockhorn Horse!

And the space magazine also greatly makes up for the problem of spare bullets, allowing it to have firepower comparable to a rifle.

Soon, everyone was ready to go.

Before leaving, Chen Shanshan only took ten pounds of wolf meat, and the remaining thirty pounds were entrusted to Old Huang for safekeeping.

Then, taking the remaining four people, they rode the tricycle and left Fifth Village.

Walking to the periphery of the camp, the countless wastelanders who had gathered here left the spot one after another.

Ding Yi looked at the steel behemoth in the distance and slowly said:

"The time has come, the prayer ceremony is about to begin…"
