Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Only Ding Yi and the divine dog remained in the camp.

The other five had gone to take delivery of the third electric vehicle ordered by Motorcycle Village.

It was specifically for living and storing weapons and equipment.

Because its function was second only to the road-opening chariot, and the living conditions concerned everyone, all five of them went.

In addition to picking up the vehicle, they also had to go to the Fifth Village to buy matching soft mattresses and pillows, bed curtains, or eye masks.

While Lin Feng went to the village chief's office to meet Su An, two assistant priests from the village had already arrived with several enhanced cultivators.

They sought to learn from Ding Yi how to expand the breeding boxes for poisonous insects and how to care for the Rockhorn Horses.

The underlying logic of this taming and breeding technique was to use the paralyzing and hallucinogenic effects of the poisonous insects to reduce the Rockhorn Horses' aggressiveness and daily stress responses.

This allowed them to obediently eat and drink in their cages, quickly growing to adulthood.

There are mainly two types of population growth curves.

One is the "J"-shaped curve in an ideal state, showing exponential growth.

This hardly exists in the wild, but as long as there is human intervention, providing a stable environment, a constant supply of food, and treatment for injuries and illnesses, the population will double in a short period.

The other is the "S"-shaped curve in a limited environment.

This model is more in line with the natural environment in the wild.

Its first half is the same as the "J"-shaped curve, growing rapidly, but in the second half, as environmental resistance increases, food becomes scarce, and predators appear, the number of new offspring and dead members in the population reaches a balance, and the growth curve gradually tends to be parallel.

In the process of breeding and production, a "J"-shaped curve is often required to ensure the highest production efficiency.

However, the endless growth of a certain population often easily leads to the collapse of the entire system.

For example, if there are too many poisonous insects, they will eat all the poisonous grass, including the grass seeds, and the breeding box's circulation system will collapse.

Therefore, among the six breeding boxes handed over, in addition to the four that maintain balance, there are also two insect-free boxes specifically for cultivating poisonous grass.

Ultimately, poisonous grass is the root of everything; the role of insects is to extract and concentrate toxins because the toxin content of poisonous grass is very low, and direct artificial extraction is technically difficult and costly to produce.

Poisonous insects play the role of an intermediate production link.

Each breeding box space is about one cubic meter and can accommodate up to fifty large poisonous insects or a small ant colony.

Every Holy Spring Day, more than half of the insects can be captured at once, or they can be divided into five batches, with ten percent collected every three days.

This will suppress the population of poisonous insects in the first half of the "S"-shaped growth curve.

This will ensure that they reproduce rapidly and that the most venom can be harvested and extracted within a certain period.

After explaining the breeding points, Ding Yi reminded the assistant priest and the cultivators to collect more other poisonous insects or poisonous grass along the way of the oasis's advance to increase the types of samples in the boxes and expand the breeding scale.

With the scale and strength of Holy Spring Village and the church behind it, it is no problem to directly build a large vehicle dedicated to breeding poisonous insects.

After explaining these things, the assistant priest and the cultivators drove the truck, which was dragging two large iron cages, along with the breeding boxes to the deepest part of Holy Spring Village.

These were remedial measures prepared in advance in case the Li family resorted to desperate measures.

In case the Li family saw that the situation was not good and destroyed the farms and breeding industries of the village, they could temporarily fill the gap.

When Lin Feng came back, he happened to see the iron cages leaving in the distance, and the Rockhorn Horses inside had grown a little bit more than when they came.

Under sufficient food conditions, the maturation period of mutated wasteland beasts can be compressed by more than one-third, and with some ripening hormones and veterinary drugs, it can be compressed by another one-third.

Therefore, Rockhorn Horses that originally needed more than half a year to grow to the late-stage enhancement stage can be successfully released from the pen in less than two months in a professional breeding farm.

Lin Feng was wondering if there was a way to find the migration traces of the Rockhorn Horse herds in the vast wasteland.

Since the end of the feast in the Wild Rift Valley, the horse herds have disappeared into the wasteland under the leadership of the chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse.

Except for wandering forces that may accidentally encounter them, no one knows their specific migration routes.

These routes are all recorded in the brain of the chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse; they know that the routes connecting the global water gathering points are the life paths of the horse herds.

And the vast wasteland, with tens of millions of square kilometers, trying to find hundreds of scattered Rockhorn Horse herds in it is actually no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Lin Feng thought of the divine dog; as the natural enemy of the Rockhorn Horses, the wasteland wolves might be able to search for traces of nearby Rockhorn Horses based on their scent.

However, this was not urgent; there would be plenty of time in the future.

The important thing right now was to go to the Mount Tai ruins as soon as possible to complete the collection task of the Wasteland Wolf origin.

By the way, he could also help the divine dog collect the racial origin needed for cross-level evolution.

Lin Feng walked into the chariot and handed over with Ding Yi.

He also told the other party about Su Yueyue's situation that he had just learned about.

After the latter heard about the situation of the Scorching Sun Curse, she first nodded, but then her eyes narrowed, and she stood in the aisle outside the driving window.

While sorting out the breeding boxes, she slowly said:

"I think Su Yueyue's situation is somewhat similar to Liu Qian's ability awakening…"

Lin Feng immediately frowned slightly and quickly thought of the situation of Liu Qian's trial when she evolved across levels.

According to Liu Qian's description, in the trial, she absorbed the energy of the sun into her body and then successfully discharged it by controlling and guiding this energy, thereby enduring the continuous irradiation of the scorching sun.

And finally awakened the ability to control energy.

And what Lin Feng had been worried about was that Liu Qian's body had actually been infected by the Scorching Sun Curse long ago, but because it had not been concentratedly irradiated by sunlight, the amount of absorption was very small and not enough to threaten her life in a short period…

It seemed that the subsequent awakening of the relevant coping ability was to solve the Scorching Sun Curse in her body.

But no one knew whether Liu Qian had really cleared the remaining curse in her body, or whether it had just been lurking and temporarily suppressed by the ability…

It might still erupt in the future.

It didn't matter if she died, but Lin Feng was worried that she would resort to unscrupulous means to survive and eventually end up like the lunatics of the Scorching Sun Church, continuing her own life by sacrificing others.

According to Liu Qian's character, there was a high probability that she would fall to this point.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng decided to find an opportunity to verify Liu Qian's situation to confirm that there was no problem.

As for the current urgent situation, plus Liu Qian hadn't shown any discomfort, he could only let it go for the time being.

Everything should focus on the mission, and he would talk about it when he came back.

Ding Yi, who was the first to notice this, took out a few exquisitely carved badges from her pocket.

Lin Feng turned his head to look.

It was the Holy Spring Church badge sold by the guild's Holy Spring Village store, with a symbolic well in the middle.

Back when he hadn't been promoted to an evolver, he couldn't feel the Holy Spring aura flowing inside, and Lin Feng had complained about why the badge cost hundreds of points.

Now it seemed that hundreds of points were cheap.

After all, the emblem injected with concentrated Holy Spring Water can repel the mutated creatures in the ruins.

Moreover, after breaking it open, it can be used to kill monsters or heal the mutations caused by gene infection.

It is a must-have item for evolutionaries on missions.

Ding Yi introduced:

"This is a concentrated Holy Water badge made by a second-order priest. A small portion of the Holy Spring Water inside is of second-order quality, which can effectively repel first-order mutated creatures."

"One costs two hundred points. I bought two."

"You just said that the power of the Holy Spring has a significant suppressing effect on the Scorching Sun Curse. Maybe carrying this can eliminate the Scorching Sun Curse that may exist in Liu Qian's body?"

Lin Feng nodded, only then remembering that everyone should carry one of these things. It's equivalent to putting on a layer of mental shield, and it can save lives in emergencies.

So he quickly asked:

"Did you tell them to each prepare one?"

Ding Yi hummed in agreement:

"Don't worry, after you introduced the mission yesterday, I reminded them to prepare well. After all, if something unexpected happens and the team is scattered, they still have to rely on themselves."

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's good."

"Don't publicize Liu Qian's matter for now. It's just a stage of suspicion and hasn't been confirmed yet, so as not to make everyone overthink on the road."

Ding Yi nodded solemnly, knowing the importance of the matter.

The newest novel is at 69shu.com!

Lin Feng then continued:

"Alright, it's almost ten o'clock. Judging by the situation, they should be back soon. Let's prepare to set off."

"Wait, where's Divine Hound?"

At this time, the cushion in the back row was empty.

Ding Yi finished watering and closed the culture box lid:

"When the acolytes came just now, I was worried that Divine Hound would be discovered. Plus, its size is no longer suitable for lying under the seat, so I sent it to the transport vehicle in the back in advance. There's enough space there."

Lin Feng nodded, steering the steering wheel while thinking about the subsequent battle plan.

And behind the car, unseen by the two, the door of the transport vehicle's rear compartment was secretly opened by Divine Hound from the inside. A dog-like figure sneaked into the car and hid in the pile of meat.

Soon, near twelve o'clock noon, the team members who went out to hand over the third electric vehicle successfully returned to the camp after completing the final payment.

This time, Liu Mingfei picked out some dispensable minor flaws, deducting two hundred points from the four thousand points to buy comfortable ice silk soft mattresses and bedding.

In addition, the team members all bought badges from the church for self-defense.

With all the members present, Lin Feng gave way to Liu Mingfei. Under Chen Shanshan's leadership, they visited the accommodation vehicle following at the end of the team, which was a little bigger than the chariot.

However, in terms of power performance, it was far inferior to the chariot.

After consuming life value to upgrade it, Lin Feng immediately recruited all members to hold a brief meeting before departure.

He took out a military magazine and handed the introduction about hollow-point bullets to Liu Qian.

On the road ahead, she needed to convert most of the rifle and pistol bullets into hollow-point bullets injected with Holy Water, using plastic to seal the top if there was no paraffin.

Lin Feng also introduced the function of the church badge.

Regarding the arrangement of the three vehicles, the chariot was driven by Liu Mingfei and Lin Feng in turns, the middle transport vehicle was handed over to Ah Ming, Ding Yi, and Liu Qian, while the last accommodation equipment vehicle was the responsibility of Chen Shanshan and A Lian.

In this way, the strongest combat power was distributed at the front and rear to protect the three people in the middle.

Before dismissing the meeting, Lin Feng specially took out a map to explain the route to everyone in advance.

Starting from their current location, they would travel two hundred kilometers northwest to reach the Mount Tai ruins, which was also the largest refuge in the entire Luzhou land.

Lin Feng still remembered hearing that it accommodated at least tens of millions of survivors during the Old Earth era.

However, they were not gathered in one refuge, but in an area with hundreds of densely packed ones.

"The distance of two hundred kilometers, considering that Luzhou has a very flat terrain, the average speed can reach twenty kilometers, so it only takes about ten hours to arrive."

"Everyone work hard, take turns in two shifts, take a break halfway after six hours, eat something, and recover your condition to ensure combat effectiveness."

Everyone nodded together.

After introducing everything, Lin Feng immediately let the team members return to their respective positions.

Finally, he asked Chen Shanshan to stay and simply told her about Su Yueyue's complicated condition, without mentioning the Scorching Sun Curse.

Just to put her at ease.

Chen Shanshan nodded as if she understood, although she didn't quite understand, she also realized the importance of this mission, which was related to Su Yueyue's life safety.

Before leaving the chariot, she remembered something:

"By the way, who do you think I met outside the guild this time?"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. He hadn't been awake in the wasteland for long, and he didn't know many people in the Fifth Village…

The only person who could be related to the two of them was probably only one person:

"Are you talking about Tian Wanruo?"

Chen Shanshan's eyes lit up and she nodded:

"That's right. This guy is lucky. The evolutionary team she was in hasn't returned since the last time that evolutionary led the wasteland hunting team on a mission."

"Plus, with the original steward and Qi Shan being dealt with by us, Tian Wanruo has successfully taken over the team, barely making ends meet by selling off the team's equipment and supplies."

Lin Feng frowned slightly:

"Say, with our current strength and status, can we directly take action and kill her in the Fifth Village?"

Chen Shanshan was stunned for a moment, somewhat hesitant:

"Let's not. Didn't you say that we're relying on the church, especially since we've mastered horse taming techniques, so we can't be too arrogant and conspicuous, or we'll easily be targeted by the Li family…"

Lin Feng's expression was indifferent, and he didn't respond.

Now, killing Tian Wanruo was as simple as crushing an ant for him.

But that didn't mean that the hatred left behind back then could be left unavenged.

Lin Feng was never a tolerant person. Having climbed out from the bottom, he could be flexible, but he was even more aware of the mentality of people who were also at the bottom.

Once a villain gains power, they won't remember your good deeds, they will only intensify their targeting and disgust towards you.

So the best way to deal with them is to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, leaving no one behind.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng slowly opened his mouth:

"Have you collected the identity information of the evolutionary behind Tian Wanruo?"

Chen Shanshan nodded:

"Liu Qian and Ah Ming mentioned it. I used my special hunter status to investigate and found out that the evolutionary's surname is Wang, and his name is Chen. He's called Master Wang. He's a senior hunter who has been promoted to evolutionary for a long time, and he already has mid-stage evolution strength."

"The last mission he went out on didn't go through the guild, but was directly ordered by the Li family in cooperation with the Zhuang Village. It may be related to the migration of the beast herd in the Wild Rift Valley…"

"After all, there are live horses there."

Lin Feng nodded after listening:

"Understood, go back."

After Chen Shanshan left, Lin Feng sat in the passenger seat, took out the map, and instructed Liu Mingfei to lead the team away from the group.

At the same time, he wondered where this so-called Wang Chen, Master Wang, would go? And what mission was arranged for him by the Li family? It had been the seventh day today, and he hadn't returned…

The team composed of three electric vehicles sped away from the Oasis Avenue into the wilderness. Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, wondering if Wang Chen's departure was a backup plan arranged by the Li family.

Just as they drove to the front of Oasis Town…

Several thirty-meter-long heavy trucks rushed out from under the bow of the Oasis battleship!

It was the delayed pilgrimage convoy!
